Can you tell me exactly how this happened? Like how you were installing JB? And is your phone i9070 or i9070P - because they have different firmwares, if you flash the wrong one then it will most probably hard brick your phone....

Odin said PASS before you disconnected? Phone rebooted to recovery before disconnecting? Or when did you unplug it? What FW did you use? You have its name on file, copy/paste it here.
More informations.

no, its said rebooting and i guess thats what cause the brick, it took half hour so unplug it. i used I9070DXAMD1_I9070OLBAME1_HOME.TAR file. so i guess i need a jtag repair?

If you pull out cable when it said rebooting, then I think that didn't cause the problem. Now no download mode at all? Tried to pull out battery and put back, than to go to download mode?

See response in other thread:
If you are 100% sure you cannot enter download mode you really have a problem. Did you try checking the battery? And if you are 100% sure - search the forum, there's some posts about using a JIG to fix it, but most seem to have gone back to Samsung afaik...
What did you do to get your phone in this mode?! Give is some more info on what happened...
Thanks for your fast reply, please see the below details

Try removing the battery and charge cable for a while (at least 30 minutes or so). I've not heard this happened before... and try charging with another cable and/or with another charger (for instance a laptop or some other usb device)...

Never install mods, addons, ROMs, kernels or anything made for whole Another phone.
Yes, that's the problem. I'm very sorry to tell you but you just destroyed your phone's boot.img by installing wrong one. And the wrong boot.img wont let you do anything on your phone. There's no way you could enter to recovery or download mode or anything.
I have no idea about the JIG thing but when I hard bricked my phone, I took it to the reseller and got it fixed for free of charge
Is there a golden card method
Any idea if there is a golden card method to create an boot image to let the phone start again

Your phone is kind of dead now. You can't push a boot image to it 'cause computer doesn't recognize it properly. Bricked means your phone is just as useful as a brick. It wont turn on in any way and there's nothing else your phone would do.
The JIG costs only 2$ , if that doesn't get u into download mod then u can only revive ur phone with JTAG .

JIG on ebay...

My advice is go see if u can repair it for free (warranty) , if not u can try the JIG to get u into download mode so u can flash via Odin (there are a lot of clips about JIGs on youtube) , if all that doesn't work JTAG is ur only hope (also there are videos about it on youtube).

Better Soluction
It ocurred me and I go to Movistar Shop and I said that it doesn't boot and I don't know anything and they give me another one with the guarantee.
Try and if not try with JIG ,
me 2, think you installed the wrong rom on the wrong phone..MIUEI rom is not out for the GT I9001, when i bricked my phone =1 medecin= www.broodplank.net (and check how to unbrick your I9001-article)
As the partition layout and even the filesystem is totally different I think you wiped away your bootloader and maybe also radio firmware. If this is your actual situation, it is ver very VERY unlikely you will get your phone alive with a jig. Don't know the partition layout of a 9000 but even the hardware is completely different. Not nucb hope left, very sorry.

Samsung Galaxy bricked?

Hello guys.
I flashed the galaxy S on Odin with no files attached.
Now the phone will not respond at all. I have tried everything but, there is no lights or reaction as ever. Is this fixable?
I have ordered a JIG but i doent have to much expectations.
Regards Morten
It doesn't even turn on? Try taking the battery out for a few minutes.
Yes thats correct. It happend after flash.
Starting to think if the battery stopped working.
There is no sign of life at all.
The battery was fully charged.
Have tried your suggestion. With no luck.
Edit: Hmm, i have tested the battery now and it shows 4 volt between + and -.
So that shouldnt be the problem.

Dear God. Why did you do that in the first place? I didn't even know such a thing is possible

Yes I know it was stupid. I had a PIT file connected.
And didnt know what i was doing. I couldnt dream of
the program would flash over bootloader.
But i learned and have to pay the price for it.
You can fix it with usb Jig or there is a tutorial for Captive that you can use on your phone and put it in download mode. I think for that you jave to install linux, hemindail and java. Also, you will need to install android sdk for adb reboot recovery command Search the forum, the fix is already there

Take out battery and hold 3 button combo for download mode. Than insert battery and it should throw u to downloading.
How is it possible to flash nothing? Doesn't odin warn you if you got "nothing"?
Should be fixed in next ver.
Download Mode "bricked"
Hi,
My Download Mode is working (3 buttons function), but the Win7 isn`t recognizing as Odin...(I`ve already tried to resolve USB drivers troubles but I think that is not the right option...other Samsung Androids are working weel)
So I am not able to flash anything trough Odin...and the CWM 3.0 show me many "E: unknown moun/ storage"...it`s impossible to restore or install an update.zip for example.
What can I do?

[Q] Help Needed in Unbricking Samsung Galaxy Pop (GT S5570)

Please help me out on this....
(Sorry if I posted in wrong section)
I successfully upgraded my Pop to gingerbread 2.3.6 and rooted it. It was working fine for some days after which It got messed up
when I updated the titanium backup app from the market. The app asked for some su permissions and suddenly the screen went blank.
After that I realized that its a hard bricked. The screen is blank whatever I do. I searched for many tutorials to unbrick it but no fruitful results yet.
I tried a lot to enter download mode and after several attempts luckily the three button combo worked and it got shown in ODIN on some port connected.
When I started the process of firmware upgrade it gets stuck in "Connection Setup Phase".
Does USB Jig method is worth trying in this situation ??
Pease tell me the solution of it. I am attaching the screenshot of the ODIN. Please Please Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance...
what is on your mobile screen download mode or something like phone--!--computer picture
ok whatever try this
close Odin, turn off mobile, start Odin and put files turn on mobile in download mode connect the cable and start flashing
PS : phone--!--conputer shows on the screen when upgrade get fail, not to worry it is just like another version of Odin
until you can light up the mobile its not a hard brick
I will suggest you to use firmware which are available without bootloader as you were previously on gb, just to remove the risk of hard brick
nothing on screen

First of all delet all drivers on pc and install them new, just to be on the save side! Then get firmware for your country i suggest you to use 4file pack no the 1file ones! Then get odin v4.38 put your device in download mode and conect to pc put all 4files in the right place in odin and start flashing!! It should not take longer then 6min!! Let odin finish when you see blue pass disconect and be lucky!!

but you are saying you can sometimes boot in download mode so no use of USB jig is required
you should take it to samsung
Weird. I dont know how you could brick your phone with titanium backup app.
Your battery could be dead. Charge your phone for 2 hours.
Then try using Odin using a different USB Port.
