please HELP my i9001 is bricked !!!

Hi Guys,
I tried to upgrade rom from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 got on this forum , using odin 4.43
the port was reconized and the process started but stay locked at 4/12 during 1 hour
so that I had to stop odin and shut down my i9001 from downloading mode .
now when restarting device I get icon showing a phone and a pc with yellow triangle and exclamation point in it .
Please help, what ca I do?
I made a full data+system backup using titanium on my sd card before stating the operation, could it be used ?
thanks in advance !!
Eric

Can you acces download mode? If you can, just try again with odin..

Hi,
You mean it is possible to get dowload mode , even if I got thei triangle pc phone logo ?

You should be able to get into download mode. Get the battery out of your phone and put it back after 10sec, Volume Down + Home + Power Button at the same time will get you in download mode.
It happens a lot that the flash is stuck, especially with large files. Changing USB or PC even will solve the problem.

thanks Shoomy !
I could get the download mode following your instruction
I will try with another another usb entry when at home .
for odin I have 2 files : one is .ops, the orther is .md5 : can you confirm I dont nead more files to get process ok till the end .
after step2 as I remember I have an odin log line telling something as " big file ..."
so that I wonder if it could work using another usb port !

That is fine, MD5 means "one package", so be sure to check One Package and then your .MD5 along with the .OPS and you're good to go. No need for other files.

Thanks Guys !
I could flash my phone with odin 4.43 and 2.3.6 rom .
but the only way to success after many sessions, was to uncheck box " secure OPS file" on odin screen .
thanks a lot

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...

when i bricked my phone =1 medecin= www.broodplank.net (and check how to unbrick your I9001-article)
Bon courage copain!

That's for softbricks only, not really a brick (just something that makes people panic and think they bricked their phone ). Hardbricks are almost impossible as in: go to a service center and hope they will replace or fix your device (without any cost)...

[Q] Samsung Galaxy s stuck in loop with Ultimate rom ?

Well first you are going to have to achieve either recovery or download mode.
Recovery: hold volume up + home and the hold power until the first screen pops up. Keep holding for about half a second. Which longer than instant lol
Download: same as above but volume down.
If you get to recovery try a wiping cache and dalvik. Then try boot up. If that doesn't work then you'll have to wipe/factory reset from recovery.
If that doesn't work then either download a stock firmware by Ramad on the general forum or go sammobile.com or type in darky in Google and go to his website and navigate to full releases. From there click on the latest for your phone sgs i9000. Scroll down to instructions and look for the link for 10.2 re or something similar. Its the Odin flashable rom. Alternatively just look for a from you like and flash it. If you have recovery you may be able to use CWM flash able zips otherwise you will need Odin flash able files from the places above.
Darky rom will retain root and is a custom from so it'll be easier to move to another custom from if you flash that.
That cover everything

Hi Talon26,
I have tried the 3 button recovery and download and nothing nada ??
I dont know which stock firmware to go for a while ago i had same problem as im having now and could not get a decent download for stock firmware any pointers in the right direction ??

can you get a Jig from a friend?
it can get you into download mod without button combination..
here is some video that might help to understand how to make one, it has instructions on the info.
also, in xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

Yes you can use a jig that would be easiest and best for the future in-case you run into this again...
However i don't understand why download or recovery is not working if you are already on custom, you have achieved it before right? If not use a video to help.
However if the standard methods do not work then there are sill some tricks..
1. Take out the battery>>>Hold the button combo>>>Insert battery whilst holding combo>>>When the boot screen appears (Samsung GT-I9000) hold for about half a second/whole second then release>>>Wait. If it continues to boot loop again then take out battery
2. From task manager close all Kies apps/processes>>>Put your usb cable in>>>plug in your phone>>>hold the combo>>>Wait.
3.Take out battery>>>Do all of 2>>>When the USB is connected to phone whilst holding the combo insert battery>>>Wait.
4. Repeat 3 with charger instead of the USB cable
If none of that works then yes i think you will need to make or buy the jig. (Or borrow if you can). But also do a search as im not sure if i covered all the tricks. There used to be a thread on it in the general section, try search for it.

Sammoblie.com, [Ramad] Stock Firmware or Darky 10.2RE
Sammobile.com is straight forward. Click on smartphone, then android etc. Just follow the clicks then you select the FW that is relevant to you based on country and provider... If use the Ramad link then you will need your csc code which will be retrievable from the sammobile site its at the bottom.
Good luck

1. Ultimate ROM is it ICS? if yes install samsung drivers.exe from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
2. Download stock ROM for your phone from samfirmware.com or alternatively you can use Darky's ROM
3. you will need Odin to flash the ROM it is included with Darky's ROM as is a read me file with instructions.
4. Start Odin make sure no kies processes are running if installed. If they are running Kill the processes
5. Boot phone to download mode using jig. Remove jig from phone. Plug USB cable into phone. wait for odin to detect phone then flash.
NOTE you may have to Flash once with re-partition ticked and then once without to get the rom completely booted.
Once running it is suggested to perform factory reset

Stock ROM would be what the phone was shipped with. ie carrier branded OS etc.
Darky's should work or from Samfirmware.com once registered select firmwares. Type "smartphone" OS "android" model "your model" region "your region"
you should then be left with a selection of firmwares for your handset/region
download the suitable version

From what you describe I will assume that your computer is running windows 7. This being the case the file downloaded needs to be extracted so that you are left with 1 file called JVG_JV5_JV4
You say that you are now left with file called JVG_JV5_JV4. Have you downloaded a PIT file? If not find 512 PIT at the bottom of this post.
Once PIT file is downloaded extract file.
Select PIT and add pit file
Select PDA and then select the file extracted JVG_JV5_JV4
Then flash.
As stated before you may have to flash with repartition selected once and then once with out.
This should get you going again.

when you are saying that it is doing nothing is odin flash failing ??
Flash completing and then phone not booting??
If the stock ROM is not working try Darky's 10.2 as it will generally work when other methods fail.

Mate , I can not thank you enough i tried again after i last put message on here and all done i now have 2.3.6 and as far as i am concerned all ok now. I did have to get into recovery mode after i used Odin for mob to start up and just did a system rebbot or should i say factory rebbot. All ok now and alot of songs i had were all still on memory card ok had to re install apps i had before but hey ho.
any advice on battery usage ?

You have soft bricked your phone as CF3D drivers didn work as it was supposed to. First turn off your device by long pressing power key, this works many times even if you are in a boot loop(which is what you are experiencing now). Now like always try to enter recovery mode manually by the combination specified for your device (mine is power+home key+vol. up for recovery and power+home+vol. down for download). If you can enter recovery mode, wipe data and cache and if needed dalvik cache as well but it will take more time for your phone to start the first time after dalvik cache is wiped. This will probably fix your problem. And if it doesn then your next choice is flashing stock rom via odin. Pull your battery, insert it back after 10 seconds. Enter download mode manually and you know how to flash stock rom via odin i suppose. You can find many guides out there as well.. Hopes this helps...

Dont worry. Pull battery for 10sec and see if you can enter download mode. check this for your stock rom. This will do for now. You can later search for your region or flash a custom rom.

Sure.. I can help you. Check this.. It got what you need and it should work this time. Ignore the stuff mentioned at first of the article coz they are talking bout a perfectly working device and we are facing a worst case scenerio. Download the required files. Uninstall kies if you have it installed coz it will probably clash with Odin trying to access your device and report error. So have just the usb drivers installed and remove kies first. Next do as they say. It should be fine. Let me know if it worked.

If you can enter download mode then dont give up. Try for odin flashable Roms and if you take your phone to service centre, dont tell them what really happened coz it will void your warranty. Tell them it happened while flashing the official stock rom update. It might save you from paying em and also losing your warranty..

[Q] Gt-I8190 partitionning lost. Please HELP

Hi guys, newbie here trying not to brick my s3 mini any more than it is.
It all started with the lack of mobile signal, so i changed the sim card-didn't work
After a hard reset it got worse, as i got a black popup on my screen :
PDA: I8190XXAMG4
Phone : XXXX
CSC : NONE
H/W : Not Active
EF Cal Date : NONE
SMD : 01N, PBA : 04N
CAMERA : N/A, FrontCam : N/A
TSP : 0X11
TSK : 0x19
Band : GPRS, CH : N/A
UART : N/A, USB : N/A
Also, the phone will not go in recovery mode anymore, only on download mode.
I tried flashing a stock firmware with Odin, but no change. The thing is, after the phone restarts, it loses any settings i made (like wireless password, google account, etc), so if i check USB in debugging mode, after restart it will be unchecked again, so for that reason i'm not sure if the reflashing worked.
In download mode it says:
custom binary download: no
current binary:Samsung official
system status: official
At the bottom of the page: HW REV: 0x5
As far as I understand after reading the forum for about 8 hours, i've lost the partitioning of the device.
If any of you has any idea what i could do, please advise.

there are a few threads on how to fix your problem
some more reading involved

refer to the threads on loading stock ROM using ODIN
those will provide you with the information to repair the phone in it's current state
you will then be able to fix the partition

Ok. So I tried numerous times to upload the stock software but absolutely nothing happens, even if ODIN says that the upload was successful. As soon as the phone restarts, it loses any settings i had done, including USB debugging mode, so maybe this is why it doesn't work. I tried selecting a CSC, but after restart it's still:''none''.
The thing is that wireless is working, so i can connect to internet, but i cannot download and install anything (no space). I will try and download an emulator via PC and put it on a memory card.

Of course, it won't read my memory card :|

all settings are ok, so flash it via Odin
AND start Odin as Admin dude

I even tried with a pit file and re-partition checked. No result.

Just flashed again with Odin started as admin. No change.

i had similar problems a few months ago. So what did i do:
download the " i8190_buttonenable_cwm6.0.2.7.tar " from HERE (see attached files) and flash it via Odin (as admin)
download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from the same side and follow the instructions.
you will get a branded lafleur rom (russian), set it to your language at setup.
put any rom as zip you like on your device.
reboot into recovery with vol. up + home + power
fullwipe and flash any rom (as zip) you want.

Just tried that, it didn't work. It's like i didn't do anything at all.
I just can't write anything on this thing
Anyway, thank you very much, guys. Any more ideas are welcome :

Was i supposed to have F. reset time checked as well?

actually given the fact that he has lost the partition those setting are not enough in my opinion
i would say load up the pit file as well as enable re-partition

I did load the pit file and enabled the re-partition. It just doesn't change anything.
This last week it was taken back to the place i bought it from (pawn shop ), and of course, they all say (the experts they took it to) that i did something to it, and it can't be fixed, and of course it's my fault.All i did was to reset it.
Anyway, I'm still hoping to get it fixed myself, with your help, guys.
Thanks.

You still got that FactoryApp popup on screen?
Are you rooted?
Can you enter recovery? If so, what recovery do you have?
