check battery first.
if it boots into recovery, make the wipe
or, flash stock firmware if it boot in download mode (if not, try with a usb jig)

blue screen brick?

i was restoring to jf6 with the one click downloader and halfway through the phone turned to a bluish black screen. i let it sit here for 10 min but the restore had stopped so i unplugged it and took out the battery and then tryed to turn it back on and nothing happens. Has this happened to anyone else?
Your phone is bricked. This happened to me about a week ago. Had to take it to the att store for a replacement.

it is NOT bricked. if you read around the forums there are several posts about this. but the gist is put it back in download mode (same as always) and you will be fine.
And yes I know this works, I had the same issue myself a few weeks back.
yep. not bricked.
i had a green screen the other day. i was in the middle of a one click restore and all the USB ports stopped working on my desktop (office PC). Used the USB+Button method to get back into download mode and everything worked
the problem is when i plug it in and try to go into download absolutely nothing happens i dont even get that computer ! phone screen

I know what you're saying. When this happened to me the phone was completely dead. It would not turn on no matter what I tried, and I tried every method I could find in XDA. There was no fixing it, so I had to return it for a new one.

doh
I bought it off ebay and rooted it so i dont even have warrenty on it , how much is it gonna cost approximately ?
same here i bought from ebay and I had no proof of purchase, just rang samsung and said it crashed and they fixed without proof of purchase and for free .
For just a backup i sent my recipts for ebay and paypal, they have just responed back to me that they have recieved the docments after they fixed my phone and i had recieved it as well. ?
so send your phone in and say it crashed whilst you accidently unmounting the internal memory card and the battery died and now it will not turn on. tel : (0)1932 454358.
also forgot my phone was rooted as well ...... no harm in giving it a go
thanks dude, will definitly give it a try.

Screen stopped Working.....

Everything was running perfect on the phone. I Installed ICS couple of weeks ago and 3 days ago In installed LP6 kernel. Today I was flipping through my contacts and all of a sudden the screen flickered and turned off, the phone remained on.
I rebooted, took battery out for 10 min..No luck. I flashed stock GB thinking ICS might have messed up something but no LUCK. I can call myself phone rings fine and I can see it operating fine except the screen is always off. I inserted JIG to get to download mode, and I did, but screen remained off. Did the screen just crapped on me all of a sudden ? I bought it from mobilecityonline.com You guys think I can arrange to ship it to Samsung international(im in US) for fix or there is something I can try first ?
Help appreciated.

Sounds weird... So, once you flashed stock GB and there is no root, cwm or cfw installed it should be no problem to give it to your local service point. Sounds like a hardware issue for me.
Thats my fear. Now I have to deal with Samsung UK
Should be no problem as long as you are on stock rom and binary counter is at 0.
Good luck mate.

[Q] My Si won't start

Hi, I read some earlier posts about same problem as mine but they all failed ad changing boot loader or something else, but my situation is different.
I was chatting with friend on whatsapp nothing unusually battery was at 35% (btw I recently installed swapper maybe this has something with problem) and phone get freeze, I wait a little and I notice it is not working at all, I waited another 1 min and tryed to pull out battery but before I done that phone turned off itself, and I tryed to turn it on again but phone won't turn on, nothing shows on display, I tryed to put it in recovery mode, download mode nothing, I tryed to connect it on charger and pc with and without battery still nothing...
Did time came to spend a few bucks to repair it or this is just software fault ?

P.S. I recently installed cyanogen mod Smoothie V2 and CWM5504-CM9-recovery.
It was working almost as perfect except some short freezing when web browsing.

You could try to use a JIG. It will force the device to boot in download mode and them you can try to flash with Odin
You can find a guide here: http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&sourc...94HoAw&usg=AFQjCNHbzGIi_e55lP8M8jFMmcqpKCtkxw
If its not working tell me back
