Hey..what do u mean by screen turns off and on ? Are u talkin about a boot loop ?

no it's not a boot loop,phone wants to turn on,the screen goes white but after a few seconds phone turns off! i installed kies,odin,android pc suite,but the pc does not detect the phone(i think there is no enough time for pc to detect it).and yes usb cable and port works,as i connect my motorola photon using it.

Just bring it to the center they will not know that you flashed a single thing but never mention about flashing because your warranty will be void

use usb jig.. it will help definetily help you to go into donwload mode,,, as you are saying screen is turning off and on.. see on ebay.com usb jig,,
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU ...

If you can still get into download mode, then ODIN should be able to detect your phone and thus you should be able to flash again.
Good luck.

I encountered this kind of sh**. I bricked my SGM and lasted for a year. We went to Samsung Service Center and they said that they will fix it and we're going to pay P6,000 ($140) and we're shocked. I did not left my phone to SCC and instead, my Mom brought my phone to her friend. After 5 days, it's fixed.

Jig Usb will work over here....

Well I forgot to say it gets stucks at the Galaxy S Screen as well. So I don't think it really matters if it is recognized on my computer or not.

Actually, it does matter your computer should recognise if there is any device connected, if it doesn't, downlaod and install newest samsung drivers...

Install Samsung Lies so your computer recognizes your phone, then never use it for anything. Then put the phone in download mode and try Odin again.

There is some problem with ur pc only I see as Odin will recognise ur device be it on any ROM. Now what may be the problem with your Pc.
1. Administrator rights not granted to odin.
2. Drivers not properly installed.
3. Windows USB drivers not installed properly.
4. USB drive not working (least possible)
Try running Odin AS ADMIN. Maybe it works.

hello, if the computer doesnt recognize the phone the problem seems to be in the drivers. Uninstall kies and drivers (control panel> programs), then download kies again, reboot computer and try to connect the phone. [if you have a custom rom is natural kies dont recognize it].
When appears the information of USB connection, switch the storage and see if it lets computer access the SD.
If this works, you can use ODIN, if not try this
If nothing works and you have access to another computer try to install the kies there and do everything there to see if work.

NEVER!! you can try flashing a custom rom, maybe It's your own rom bug
Which rom are you using?
Enable USB debug in settings and reinstall samsung drivers in your pc or try changing the USB port then boot in download mode to flash a fresh stock via Odin
ummm you can try mobile odin, several members posted that works fine
