Odin recongnises my phone but i am stuck at "SetupConnection", i am not in download mode and cannot get in it. i suppose it is "force upload " or something like this. please help me!

can you boot into system ! ?
stop posting these "brick! help!" threads. We cannot help you if you have a hard brick. CM10.1 ROM will not brick your device if you select "Reboot" Go to the service center.
Try removing the battery and then pressing the download mode button combination and Putting the battery in back while pressing the button combination
This is the emergency download mode
If it is not working
Try removing the battery and plug in the USB wire and press the button combination
Good luck

make a usb-jig to force it in download mode.
if nothing happens, go to service center.
my phone won't turn on anymore, even the screen. It is like i am starting it whit no battery. Does Jig work in this case? Also i forgot to mention that i tried expand ram with swapper 2

that's why u got it bricked
don't use swapper with Oc kernel !
well, what could be the problem? is there any solution?
My phone was bricked aswell, I could not start it at all..not even with charger..it was simply dead...then i tried this
1.Pull out the battery, wait 15 minutes
2.With the battery out , press the power button for 30 seconds(make sure there are 30..i counted 32 to be sure )
3.Put the battery in and try to start it in download mode ( Vol- + Home +Power)
ok, i'll try it, i hope it will work, thank you in advance anyway
It didn't work, but i found on the internet a confidential samsung document with a procedure to flash from external sdcard, but i need JTAG, another mini 2 and the bootloader. so i really don't know what to do, may warranty is void, if i send to service, i think i must pay 100$ or more. i don't have this money.
I'll send it to service center, i think there is no way to revive it manually. I think there is nothing in the phone, because it doesn't boot or even turn on the screen. Anyone knows if EFS is corrupted, will they repair it, and if yes, how much will it costs?

Try this before sending it to the service center. I sent mine and they brought it back saying it's unrepairable, but I don't believe them. I bricked my mini II with flashing wrong rom for other phone and I'm going to try this tomorrow because I can't find the resistors today.
hey man try this method:
1. Battery out. 4secs or more. Battery in (Remove SIM card and SD Card to be saved)
2. Volume DOWN + Home + Power Button. Hold it EXACTLY 5 SECONDS!
(NOW YOU IN DOWNLOAD MOD)
3. You will see or hear nothing! but remember you are there!
4. After when you got in download mod if you remember you need to "Press Volume UP" to confirm it. So press Volume UP and wait 2 seconds
5. Connect your mobile to the PC (Desktop ODIN Running). You will hear the sound. Which mean your phone connected.
6. Flash any stock firmware as you like....
Good Luck!
i don't have money for resistors, also method with download mode doesn't work. i don't think there is a solution

You don't have money for resistors? The price is really low, it costs 1€ in my country. I think USB jig will help or if you don't have time to build it, give it to Samsung service center, they will repair it for free

I have bricked mine the same way, luckily I reset the bin counter before that, sent it to service and got it repaired for free. Motherboard replacement was necessary. So ALWAYS reset the bin counter after you flash!
i don't have money because i'm 13, and now i am at my grandparents. when i'' go home, i'll send it to service center

Hello,
I tried to flash back to the stock ROM of Galaxy S and then install a new Jetpack 8.2 custom ROM.
Apparently, since I did a bad search on the internet on finding a stock ROM and pit file, i downloaded a pack from xda with the .pit file pda file phone file and CSC file.
I DONT REMEMBER which it was..i selected all the files from the pack through odin and re-partitioning was ticked (i saw it after the flash finished).
So when the processes was completed waited a bit and since the phone was not responding i pulled it out.
Now that's it.. The screen is black - wont power on - wont go into download mode - wont show battery charge while the USB cable is on - nothing (AND YES THE BATTERY IF FULLY CHARGED).
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
p.s: havent tried a usb jig but from searches i made on the internet and on xda forums ppl said it will prolly not work. are there any instruction on how to make one (link would be appriciated)?
Thanks in advance
Best option would be to try a Jig (you can buy one on ebay or dealextreme) and see if you can go into DL mode. Sometime the button combination for Download mode changes depending on the firmware. Try pressing the middle of the volume rocker and power at the same time.
If not wait for a Jib or build yourself one. There should be instruction in this forum on how to build one.
if the jig doesn't work, i would try and return it to the store you got it. I know its a long shot, but the same thing happened to me and I brought it back and she just gave me a new phone! Its worth a shot!

Worth a try. Just tell them it suddenly stopped working and you have no idea what's wrong. It's not like they can power it on and see that you failed flashing it or something. and even if they use a jig they can only get to download mode and reflash it...
even if they say no... a jig costs like $1.5 on eBay. search for "i9000 jig".
Insert if, press the power button and poof, you're in download mode,
the thing is that the phone is not under any warranty or something and the store i got it is far away now !!
JTAG service if you're in the UK: http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/
The JIG won't work when you brick with a black screen (i.e. bootloader corruption, so no boot at all).
Your only solution is to JTAG it or sadlly, throw it away...
I used a I9003 ROM to flash it !!
Maybe there is still a solution?
also from what i've found on forum sometimes the JIG helped ppl who had a black screen to go into download mode. so how can you be so sure? @ Dan_Aykroyd

As long as your bootloader is intact, the jig will get you to the download mode
Wrongly flashed i9000 with i897 rom has been confirmed to work with the jig, but i don't know i9000 with i9003 rom...
Or you can apply the unbrickable mod if your phone's warranty was voided already, if not, send it back to the shop.

Had that also yesterday putting a new ROM on my GS. The process of writing the PDA halted.. Black screen, no way to start it up en no screen indications of charging etc..
I removed it from my USB, Removed the battery a few times did the three way download mode trick several times and finally I got the download mode screen from where I successfully loaded the new ROM.
So try a few times.. even when you get a black screen !!
let me be clear once more..i downloaded a complete I9003 rom pack from xda... some guy posted..i just missed that it was I9003 and not I9000..
and on odin re-partition was clicked..but the process was completed successfully even thou after that the phone wont start or go into download mode :/
i used not only PDA and PIT files but 2 more was included as well :/ so what i am asking is if this could really have damaged the bootloader or not

Try jig first.
Next try JTAG or UNBRICKABLE mod.
Then Try a service centre.
in case it wokes up.. anyone has links for stock rom and pit to flash with odin?
thanks again
There are some ways, when already got into DL mode is best to reflash with 812.pit file and then again with 512.pit file. After I bricked my phone and got "death" screen (God I was crying) I found way of taking up DL mode (hopefully SGS is pretty-hard to brick). Others than that try to connect to your phone via usb (remember to first inset usb and then battery) and hold ALL of the buttons on your phone. Screen must flash about 3 times and then release volUp to get DL mode combo. I hope that will help you as me.

Are you 100% sure the JIG wont work if bricked with a black screen. Are there any other possibilities to unbrick the phone. I really need this phone back or my dad will kill me..
Yesterday after unbricked my note from lpy brick (for the 5th time), I tried to flash a stock rom with a pit file (found somewhere on xda, special 16gb pit file for restoring bricked device) but the flash stuck at the begginning so I unplugged it.
Now my phone is unable to go in Download mode, recovery mode neither normal mode.
The screen stay black whatever I do, I've tried all the combinaison possible...
I tried to put it in charge all the night but now the problem is still here.
Any help appreciated

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file
Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.
USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...
I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?
Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?
here is my problem ..
i was on ics euphoria when i get some FC. i tried to get back JM9 rom using Odin3 when my phone was fall down during the operation now when i turn it on there is image of phone.../!\....pc
i don't have the download mod usb jig doesn't work and also one click or unbrickable resurrector on linux .well it seems that I'd do hardware modifications make a connection between xOM5 resistor & xOM3 or xOM0 is that true?
is there in other thing to do? i need help
Sent the Service Centre for repair if you still have your warranty. I bricked my phone twice, rooted and in custom rom and they couldn't find out as long as you have BSOD(phone.../\...pc). If you don't have warranty anymore try flashing a stock rom using odin.
___________________________
Hit the thanks button,
show some appreciation.
If you can go to download mode by holding the down volume + Home Key.
Keep them pressed & turn on the phone.
If you are able to enter download mode.
Try to download a original firmware eg., ( xxjvu 2.3.x) & try to flash it with odin.
Try google & it should come up with some links to the firmware.
If you can't enter download mode try this heimdall-one-click.googlecode.com/files/OneClick.jar
Here is the youtube link
Good Luck Mate!
if everything didnt work you may do it in the hard way that is you turn off your device and take off the battery and sim card and memory card if you have one then you bring a hair dryer and put it on the hottest level then center it between the camera and the speaker for 10 seconds then quickly put the battery back and hold home+low volume+power this will put you into download mode if it didnt work the first time try again and for me , it didnt harm my phone .. i used it when my phone bricked and it didnt enter to download mode nor recovery and didnt have a jig .. hope this would help you ....

this is a hardware issue the high temp disturbs the hardware and somehow it takes you into download mode and I swear it worked for me.
the phone reacts on resistors. so if you have a special resistor your phone turns in different modes, e.g. hard reset, schutdown, or download mode.

I have rooted my P1010 for about 3 months now and now and again it used to freeze and have a black screen but the key at the bottom would still be lit up. But now all of a sudden the tab will not turn on at all. I have left it on the charge over night but still no sign of it turning on. Does this mean its bricked? I just dont know why it done this all of a sudden.
Hm... Maybe you just need to force the shutdown(Power button+Vol- button) and turn on again(power button).

Bro, there is this unbrickable mod you still can do. As long as you don't fry any hardware, there is nothing you can do software-wise to really brick your device. You are owning a very special device. A true Lazarus. Don't give up.
But as TheATHEiST mention, you may want to try this, bro:
Plug it into computer, start odin and press Power + Volume down for at least 5 seconds. See if Odin can catch your device. If Odin still can catch it, then it is in download mode - with blank screen.

Also now all of a sudden when I connect the tab through usb I can get it into download mode for 1 second then it just flashes on and off on the boot screen. If I leave it for a while it will sometimes go into recovery mode but I cant seem to flash anything or factory reset.
EDIT: WE GOT IT FIXED GUYS!!! Thanks for your help guys. I just kept forcing it into recovery and factory resetting it until it rebooted. What do you think caused it to do that? Should I unroot it or flash a different rom? Or did that just happen by chance?
Hi everyone!
Here is the entire list of things I had done before I bricked it. Can some expert please read through and help me? I really need help!!
So as you can read from the title, this phone, the Galaxy Pop/Mini is bricked. It does not turn on at all, even if I press the power key only or the Power+home+vol.down. Needless to say, I have no download mode . The problem started after I flashed the PACman ROM, which didn't turn out that good, so I re-flashed the original firmware using ODIN. It said PASS, but then when it rebooted, the phone got a boot loop. It kept on rebooting again and again. As I have an Xperia Neo V as my primary device, this issue usually meant a wrong kernel to me. So I downloaded "Galpop_kernel_build2" and now when I press the power button or any of the combinations, the screen does not light up. There is no response.
So I tried the Heimdall One Click Unbrick, and it shows me this error:
Is Your Phone Plugged In?
Is It In Download/Softbrick Mode?
If the phone is Plugged In and Everything Is Fine,
Visit the Resolution Center in order to resolve the issue.
So I clicked on the button, it asked me to install 3 things, which I did, no luck. So I was finally going to give up, when I accidently pressed the volume up+ Power+ Home keys. Nothing happened on the screen, but when I connected it to my PC, Windows started installing some drivers! It went well, and even ODIN detected the phone (Yes, there was the Yellow Box), so I quickly tried to flash the original firmware, but it got stuck on "setup connection...". I read somewhere that this was a driver issue so I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers, no luck.
So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

I did, I am on a different PC right now, installed all drivers etc. But I just realized... I think I might have flashed the Pop Plus kernel...
Since it is ultimately the low level OS, maybe that is preventing it from starting? Is there a way to forcefully flash a different kernel? :'(
Also, the strange mode that it used to go into is gone now.. I cannot make the PC recognize the phone at all now, and the phone does not power up. So I'm kinda in a doomed position right now..:crying:
The mistake was the kernel flashing. If something is not booiting you need to wipe data/cache. This works with stock ROM too.

So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

Oh yes..I guess I'll have to go there.. BTW, what should I say? My phone is still in warranty, but I don't have the papers etc right no, since I'm in college.
I read somewhere that they will change your motherboard for free if in warranty, but how much would it cost? I was thinking of telling them that Kies did this

As I asked someone else too, how much do you think it would cost if I don't have the warranty papers right now? It still is in warranty though..
And what did you tell them that convinced them that you were innocent?
I also had a problem where i had to get my motherboard changed when i asked the samsung people they said it'll cost Rs. 4000 for changing the motherboard so it'll be better if you find your warranty papers and don't worry just tell them that the phone's not working don't tell them about the rom flash stuff they'll repair it for free if you have your warranty papers..

Yep, they asked me for 4,000.. That's almost half the price I bought the phone! I think I'm going to wait till December.. I'll be home then!
Thanks everyone for replying and helping!

the same thing happened to me too..
the fun part is that this WAS my brother's phone(i mentioned WAS for the phone's been dead for a week )
can u please explain what did the SSC guy told you in detail???
unbricking mini/pop
try deleting all ur data on ur phone - ur android, data, etc....just factory reset it and then try flashing using odin!!!! if that also not works then use clockwork mod and restore backed up firmware on ur phone.
-_- he said he can't enter recovery or any other mode
