Galaxy S Dead (not like the other ones)

Hi all guy's,
i have a realy strange problem , i tried to find a solution on this forum and on the net but i didn't find nothing
Today i was trying to change firmware by Odin (it was not my first time) , i used not my home pc ( like i did many time) but another one, opned odin, load the firmware , plugged in the galaxy in download mode and i clicked on start (obiviusly odin showed my galaxy s) but program stuck and on galaxy screen there wasn't the progress bar as usually. After five minutes i unplugged the phone and i rebooted it, on screen there was the computer and the phone with the yellow esclmation point.
i unplugged the battery and than i putted the galaxy s in download mode (vol down+ power+ home button), than i rebooted the pc, i deleted all the tons samsung modem drvier installed on windows xp (i think this was the problem of the bad flash on odin) , opend again odin, plugged the phone on the pc but nothing happned, the pc didn't recognized the phone (not like the others) , i connected the phone to usb to the computer and nothing happned how if i wouldn't connect nothing on pc. Obiviusly Odin didn't recognized the phone and kies also. I went on another pc , i installed kies , than odin, and i connected my phone and i had the same truble, when i conect my phone to the computers is like if i don't connect nothing, becouse nothing happen on computer. My galaxy go in download mode but the computer's don't recognize it!

did you try another usb cable? maybe your cable is damage... just covering solutions...

I don't think your galaxy is dead, as long as you can access the download mode you should be ok.
Try with different usb ports/cables/computers.
But it sounds most likely that your drivers aren't installed properly. You shouldn't have uninstalled them in the first place if they were working lol (it's unlikely the driver caused bad flash, it either works or it doesnt!)

plug it in the computer without the battery or simcard or memorycard, do it in windows and not in Odin. Then try to connect to Odin.

Welcome to SGS Bricked Club (unofficial)
Your phone is not dead, just bricked.
Do this
1. Re-install all your Kies to get SGS USB driver (you shouldn't have uninstall it in the first place)
2. Switch your phone to download mode
3. On Odin, select 512 pit (ONLY), and checked "Re-partition" option
4. Connect your phone and USB (remember, download mode first > Odin > USB Connect)
5. Click Start on Odin
6. Wait until Odin turn green with "SUCCESS"
7. Click Reset on Odin
8. flash what ever firmware you want, accordingly

Without trying to be too optimistic, as well as not being too much of a downer, I've had that particular "phone ! computer" screen a few times and not had any problems flashing with Odin later. Usually takes a couple of PC and phone reboots but like someone said, as long as you can get to the recovery (android at work) screen one way or another, you *should* be fine.

I've got that problem also many times and have seen the "phone-to-pc" screen, too. Take a look into your Device Manager under modem before you plug in the phone. After you plugged in the phone is there a modem displayed? My Problem is that Windows change the Driver through CDMA Modem for Samsung and with that Driver odin doesn't work. I've managed that problem by changing the machine or the port for a new driver select.

frak!!! krap! i think my phone is krapped out.
although i can get to download mode, i can not get to recovery mode
when you flash official firmware, are you supposed to flash with re-partition checked, the pit and the pda file all at once?
cuz i get stuck on...

great.... sometimes from recovery it would goes blue or pink screen and freeze.
anyone got any tips or ideas?
dumb... after 6 hours of fiddling... the one thing i didn't do was try on a different usb input.
however, i still can not explain the green, blue, or pink freeze screens
ps. thanks roy, your help and concern helped me profoundly (seriously)

sorry to hear this mate, I personally never experience this.
Mind share your Odin setup for flashing?

ok guy's some of you didn't focus my problem (maybe becouse of my crap english) anyway the problem wasn't how to go in download mode but the problem was another one, once i was in download mode the computer didn't recognize the phone, it was like if i wouldn't put nothing in the usb, and well it wasn't a usb clabel, usb port, driver or some other things but it was soemthing fuked up with my phone.
The following procedure is not needed if you have some problem with driver but only if your computer defintly don't show nothing when u plug the phone in download mode after a bad flash.
Turn off the phone and unplug the battery, connect the phone to the computer, wait a minute than click the 3 keys for put the phone in download mode (vol down+home+power) and plug in the battery. Your computer should recognize soemthing and u will be able with the correct driver and Odin program to flash the phone again. Your phone should be usb connected all the time or the procedure don't work.
I have another bug now and i don't know if it's related to the firmware(i tried on jm6 and jm7) or there is something wrong with my phone usb.
When i turn on my phone randomly don't work the sound selection on the menu and when i tap the number on the phone keyboard. If i plug in the phone on the pc i'm not able to use kies or other things like mass storage but on the phone start the music player (like if i would plug in the headphone) and the bug get fix.
When the bug come if i not plug in the phone on the computer the ringtone work if i get a call but n the phone there is the handsfree option activate.
I don't know what to do and i hope u understand my problem even if my english sux hard
Thanks for your attenction
EDIT: guy's the bug is not related to the firmware (i didn't have it first of yesterday), i tried now the jg5 and i still to have the same problem as on the jm6 and jm7 , sometimes randomly the button sounds don't work when i'm in the menu or when i'm making a telephon number even if the option is enable in the menu. for fix it how i write up herei need plug in the phone cable on the computer or turn off and than turn in again till it get fix.

hI,

You haven't got a captivate then?
the proper ROM wouldn't be on this forum but the captivate's one, but when guessing you're actually in possession of a i9000m; why not a i9000 rom from the i9000 section?
cos a i897 is a galaxy captivate, doesn't seems wrong when you have one? =/

And once again epic fail.
Your phone is bricked now, go and exchange it.

I think that last hope is try to forcing download mode with "resistor on usb port" method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

Thanks guys,
What is bad is,that every time i try to connect with usb or charger the phone turns off and nothing shows on the screen,once i remove the cable the phone turns on normaly.Maybe i can still go in download mode by changing the configuration of the buttons,couse cativante has 4 buttons and galaxy 3,the think is that home button has no function and back touch button become home thats way i cannot go into download mode no home button.If nothing will work i gues i have to follow Jonsat's advice.I still have hope that someone nows and shares with as.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!

Man, i have an idea:
1) Download z4root from market, root ur phone;
2) Download Rom Manager and flash recovery;
3) Download a Rom in which u have the extend power menu;
4) Flash Rom;
5) Boot into Rom and enter in the extend power menu;
6) From the extended power menu press "Reboot into download mode";
7) Flash from Odin.
PS: if your power menu button doesn't go well u should download from the market apps that emulate the power button menu!
I know it's a crazy idea but in my opinion you should try!

I have exactly the same problem, the pc recognize the phone just as unkown device.
Witch driver do I need to get Odin to work?
Thanks in advance

I need some help here. My phone went dead during charging yesterday..... it was fine one moment and last check was at 80%. Then about 10 min later when I wanted to unplu & use... it was not responding at all. Noticed that the phone was rather warm as well.
I've been running "Insane" kernel for a week with overclock to 1200 and under volt about -75 across the board. Did I fry the chip???
Phone is not respondingf at all. Doesn't charge, cannot boot, cannot do into download or recovery mode, PC does not even see it when plugged in, pulled battery & re-insert does not help.
What other options do I have??? Last resort is to bring back to the service centre, but I'm afraid that they will not give warranty for it if checked that I have an "Insane" kernel.
Advise & feedback please. Any other areas to check?

[Q] Help!! Cant flash phone... Bricked?

I was getting ready to flash my Captivate with new Cognition Froyo from Eclair that I had on there. First I decided to remove the ext4 lagfix I had. To save space on internal SD card. opened up sl4a, hit remove fix. Phone rebooted and stayed on with black screen for an hour. Buttons would light up. So I knew it was on. I figured it was moving folders around and such. So I gave it time. in ext thread - it doesnt say anything about how long should removing take and what should you expect... it would ve been helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765820 But 1 hour seemed too long. I dont have many files on there at all. I pulled the battery. Now when I start the phone its the same story - ATT splash screen comes up, big S shows up that flashes as a normal start up sequence - then it goes to black screen and stays there.
I tried flashing the phone back to stock. Recently formatted my PC, so now I have Win 7 64 bit. Installed the 64 bit drivers. When phone is off and I plug it in - it shows up in Device Manager as unknown device for 30 seconds then disconnects. Also in the properties window it says "drivers are not installed for this device" which then chages to "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)
To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer." If i push the power button - my computer sees the device no problem and says drivers are installed. ADB and modem and such. If I open up cmd window to try adb with phone on or off it says "error: device offline"
How do I fix this...... OMG

Try this:
1. Open the Odin One-Click from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
2. Pull the battery out of the phone, and then replace it
3. Plug the phone into the computer while holding down both volume buttons. It should boot into download mode. When Odin recognizes the phone click start and it should flash back to stock JF6 and you'll be able to start again.

I guess u can restore to stock using odin by getting into dowload mode.
Try searching odin master clear. It will have all the steps in the thread.

Cute story...
Just get into download mode and use Odin, when it goes black it just means the software crashed, not a big deal.
Open Odin
select the files
pull the battery, unplug the usb cable...
put in the battery
hold volume up and down at the same time
plug in the usb cable
keep holding the volume buttons undow you get into download mode
click start in odin

Have you put the phone into download mode yet? Worth the phone off Hold both volumes for 2 sec then plug in the data cable while still holding volumes, hold untill a big yellow sign shows on the screen. If you verify that you have download mode, then you can odin flash.
Ok I was late on this one

Did you put the files in the slots? click on the btton next to the slots and put the correct files there. Odin has to be running before you enter download mode. Put the files in the slots and then hit start. if you are using this http://www.ponack.net/designgears/index.html.
If you are trying to flash stock jsut use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 start Odin enter download mode and this requires you to enter nothing. Just click start.

Try this sir.
Unplug usb cable.. and turn off the phone, by pulling the battery if you need ot.
Close ODIN and REOPEN ODIN.
replace the battery HOLD down VOL+&- and plug in the usb cable. the phone should go into download mode. Odin should recognize the phone. At that point hit Start.
Odin acts strangely if it doesn't detect the phone at a certain time.
Always close Odin between attempts.

You should have Odin open before you enter download mode or Odin won't see it. At least that's how I understand it, it never works if the phone is in download mode before Odin is running for me. And I flash all the time. 6 times today.

Ok you have the one click, if it doesn't work if odin is started first, boot into recovery, master clear with odin, pull battery, boot into download, flash.
Use method from my prior post to enter download mode.

The OP appears to be using Odin one click and it is preloaded with JF6, no need to insert anything, but to update to the Cognition 2.2 beta 5.5 you need the stand alone Odin in the .zip you download and insert the files into the slots. Different Odin.
Please update if it works for you or not.

Unbrick Note from wrong ROM

I accidentally flashed wrong ROM (SII CheckROM) on my Note and now it has stopped booting. IT is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 screen and screen starts misbehaving.
I cannot goto CWM recovery all I can still make it to is Stock recovery. How can I Unbrick this state?

Are you able to get into download mode? (Power off, then power on holding VolumeDown + Menu + Power all together until the screen comes on?)
Then you'll be able to flash a rom via Odin...

if you can get into download mode, which is what i assume you mean by stoke recovery you can flash the rom using odin on the pc

I have the same problem, I accidentally flashed a galaxy s2 kernel, and my screen misbehaves after logo. Now, I can't get into download mode since it says low battery. I've been trying to charge it with wall charger, even though back cover gets warmer, it still says low battery. I've purchased an Anker universal charger, left the battery overnight, nope still no luck, should I buy a new battery ?

Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume

I can get into download mode now, however I don't know which Stock Rom I should download since I forgot which was it. Is there any way I learn it without trying and failing among many available

Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER

odd note
hello all,
my case was a bit different, after the ics leak, i rooted and flashed rocketrom without problems, then i flashed kriskelo also without problems but wanted to go back to rocketrom, the problem is that the device got stucked in the galaxy note gt 7000 screen with the rooted triangle after i tried to recover rocketrom via cwm, i have back ups from all the roms, lcy, rocket and kriskelo except from the GB but the phone doesnt boot, i tried odin but it get stucked in the "network connecting" and it doesnt go far...im downloading now the stock gb and will try the antiguangenius way, just a small question, do i have to flash only the bootloader (file attached in the post} and then the stock rom or just the stockrom directly in the pda? what is the nt7000 bootloader file?
extra info, my phone enters in cwm recovery without problems, and if i connect the usb on it with the galaxy note gt7000 screen, i get the yellow flag ( i assume is the download mode, isnt it?) so its not completely bricked, i see all the menu from cwm and can also recover, but it wont boot anybody could help? im afraid how much it would be bringing it to the SSC...
thanks in advance
Dtorga

Sorry with all due respect, how can one accidentally flash a SII rom onto a N7000 or a N7000 rom onto a I717? Do you people think we all are stupid because we don't flash roms that were built for other devices onto our Notes? Why don't people think before they flash? I mean it's known that men cannot think clearly when they see a naked women with big b.... but I did not know that this effect also takes place when they see a phone and a rom

I will test one click out thanks I was using an old version of odin because some goof said that oneclick does not work on gingerbread and that odin would work :/ I used it the last time I rooted on froyo.

-_- now IDK what happened I properly disconnected my phone and now it shoes a cell phone Icon.../!\...PCIcon on a black screen.
I feel like the more I mess with it the more I screw it up, now it wont leave that screen (I was in Download mode)

that is the soft brick screen. and its properly written " Phone /!\ PC " (you can underline the /!\ if you want to be fancy)
use it as download mode. if odin doesnt see it, reboot the phone again, reboot your PC, then try again.

Well when anyone gets back online can I be directed to somewhere where I can get directions on how to return my phone to stock SGS captivate i897 thank you all for your help.

I'd start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
where you can find a ton of one-clicks to get back to stock.
If you look at post 3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
you can find the Odin and Heimdall one-clicks to get to stock 2.3.5 KK4.
After that try this thread to obtain root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444382
That's what I did last time and it worked well. I went on to try the Corn Kernel and liked that as well. In the end I came back to CM7, though. It just gives my phone life that stock can't accomplish.
Good luck!
As with anything, be sure to read read read. This is what worked for me and you never know when that could be a fluke.

Wonderful, I am attempting that now my phone is in download mode just waiting to finish downloading i897uckk4 contains bootloaders
OK not sure if bootloaders was necessary but it worked like a charm, my mistake before was using a crappy version of Odin and for the wrong reason.
I stayed up reading all night last night till 4am on this site trying to figure it out but I had Odin all along just didnt know how to run it
Now I would like to flash to something else and would definitely appreciate it if you wouldn't you mind sending me some links in a PM to a thread with directions on how to get CM7? if not its ok you've done a hell of a-lot for me already thanks so much.
Thanks to Nick D for leading me to the right place and TRusello for helping me get my phone back to DL mode.

Tried rooting with super one click, TRusselo suggested and the program stopped responding, My phone is still plugged in and I'm not sure if I want to unplug or what.
any suggestions?

Super One Click has not worked to root 2.3. Always gets stuck at step 7, just like you show there. As far as I know you just abandon it. Nothing has been done to your phone.
To get root you will have to odin a kernel that either has root or you can use to root.
I used Mtcarey's Corn kernel. V7.06. It has CWM as well. In the recovery menu that comes with the kernel is an option to root your phone. I used Vz 1.85 of Odin and had not problems. It was very easy.
0. Download the latest Corn kernel vz 7.06 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477. Note, earlier versions will work as well.
1. Start Odin on your PC.
2. Put your phone into download by holding the volume up and volume down buttons. The little android guy with a shovel shows up.
3. Plug in your phone. Odin will show that it has detected the phone. The reboot option should be already checked.
4. Put the zip file you downloaded to your pc in the PDA slot by pushing the PDA button and then searching and selecting the file.
5. Flash. When it is done your phone will reboot.
6. Have an adult beverage.
There have been reports of that kernel having issues with EXT4 however so I left all of that and other speed tweaks alone.

Is that it!? Slaps self in forehead, I was so confused reading off of other peoples directions that I thought it would be too complicated for me... wow your directions were perfect! I will have two Blue Moons one for myself and one for you but since you are not near... I will drink it for you LOL! Thank you so much!!!
After following all the steps and succeeding the apps like super user and titanium backup still say that my phone is not rooted.
OK I feel like a dumb ass but IDK how to get to "In the recovery menu that comes with the kernel is an option to root your phone"
OK got into recovery mode but I see no option to root phone....
so I kept searching within the menus in recovery and found it Thanks again.

I happened to see this reply at the same time I was surfing Cyanogen's site, so it's your lucky day for links:
Here is the stable version of CM7 for Captivate:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=captivatemtd
Here's the instructions for how:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide
The guide says you have to be on Android 2.2 bootloaders to jump to CM7. Numerous users have stated that's not the case, it's just Cyanogen covering their ass. I don't blame them, but you can read on the matter and make your own decision. I don't think I've yet read of someone jumping from 2.3.x to CM7 and having issues over bootloaders.
Edit: Just saw that you already flashed Corn and got CWM. You're well on the way now.

Battery pull shuts off phone then I put it back in and it just goes to download mode. if I hold the power button for 15 seconds it just boots back into download mode. It is stock recovery.

All I can think to do is boot into recovery and hit reboot system. Then let it sit. It usually takes mine about 5 mins from there. We can't use odin and without safe strap there is no flashing a replacement rom.
If you can get to att boot screen give it as long as you can to boot

I'm in the exact same situation and have been trying everything that's been posted but still no success. I'm going to hangout here and see if we can find something that can be done or point us in the right direction. Just letting you know you're not alone on this bud

Hey guys. Check out my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65467618&postcount=6, read through everything and start at step #4 where you flash the NC2 stock image in the odin AP slot, this should get your phone working again. After that feel free to continue to follow the steps to root, etc. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll do my best to continue to help.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is fine. I've went out of my way testing these to try and permanently brick this phone. I even got it to stop being detected by a computer while in download mode and was still able to recover.
Best of luck

I have a question and I hope someone is still reading through these threads. I have a Galaxy Note 3 AT&T SM-N900A. When I bought it a couple weeks ago, (I already own another one but a T-Mobile variant, to which I've had no issues) I wanted to root it. So I did. Then I removed some system apps. Then I realized I wanted to update it since it was only 4.3! Well OTA was out of the question and so was KIES as I rooted. SO I thought it'd be best to unroot and flash stock firmware and continue to update via OTA. That has not happened. Every time I try to flash stock firmware, regardless of the version of Odin, regardless of where I downloaded the firmware, I always get a fail!!! NOTHING WORKS!!! I even unistalled KIES, reinstalled drivers, tried different USB chords, including the one that came with the phone!!!! I just want to get it back to it's original state so that I can update it via OTA or KIES. I'll paste the ODIN message and a thumbnail that has a screenshot of my phone in download mode when ODIN fails. If ANYONE can help in ANY WAY, I'll donate!!!!! I'll do almost anything!! This is driving me crazy and I'm not one who likes to admit defeat and bring it to Best Buy, especially since Best Buy is over an hour away from here!!! There has to be a way I CAN do this! Here is the ODIN fail message:
