So I bricked my SGH-T759. Spent 10+ hours trying to fix this POS. FINALLY I found someone posting a stock rom.

Thanks so much for your step by step guide. I just finished unbrick my 3 years samsung exhibit 4G SGH-T759. Now it has an awsome stock ROM which already has rooted on its.
Just curious how I could change the weather's home screen? Does anyone know how? and how safe is it using someone else ROM?

Hi,
Is there a way to edit registry like in this tutorial http://mingersoft.com/blog/2010/09/samsung-galaxy-s-reclaim-the-missing-three-button-modes/ to downgrade from JPH to JM1? I don't have 3 buttons combo and I can't root the phone.
I am new to this but I dont think so through Kies, I think you will have to use Odin, download the JM1 files from www[dot]samfirmware[dot]com and adb to get in to download mode. It could be dangerous as you don't have the 3 buttons combo, but I did it and it worked first time, but do research first, and take your time.
Seams this phone is very easy to brick, un-like my HTC Desire, so be careful, the official Froyo is out soon, so it may be better to wait to see what happens with that?

I prefer the Kies method because I tried to install the 3 buttons combo fix described in this tutorial but It didn't succeed. Anyway, I was able exiting from download mode and nothing was changed to the phone. I think that Kies is not forcing flashing something that isn't compatible like Odin and I'm not risking to brick the phone (may'be I'm wrong).
PS: I've read that Samsung people claim that recovery and download mode aren't supposed to be used by customers. False, because after the unsuccessful flash, Kies asked me to put phone in download (or recovery, I don't remember well) mode because the firmware must be recovered. Obviously I've ignored that because the phone was ok.
I did the Kies to JPH, the day after, the 3 buttons combo came out! so used Odin to go back to JM1 then did this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
I have an unlocked & unbranded phone.
It was all very risky, but was ready to return phone, as I've only had it 7 days in the UK, but it all worked for me, but would not want to recommend this, I've got a fair bit of experience in flashing phones, or I could just be a bit stupid, and went for it.
There seams to be lots of different stories as to why the 3 buttons combo is missing, its just stupid, what ever the reason as it will cost Samsung more in repairs, they must know the Android community likes to do a little hacking here and there!
What ever you do, I hope all goes well!

I don't know how to go back to JM1 using Odin. Every tutorial says I need root at least. Or having 3 buttons combo enabled.

This could be wrong, anyone with more experience than me please say if it is!!
To get into download mode:
What you need is the Android SDK, install then using the Command Prompt and type "adb reboot download" this will reboot the phone in download mode.
then look here www/samfirmware/com for I9000XWJM1 # and Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (512) and the Odin program.
Pit file 512
for PDA choose CODE_I9000XXJM1.tar
for PHONE choose MODEM_I9000XXJM1.tar
for CSC choose CSC_I9000OXAJM1.tar
I did not have repartition clicked the next two were, and I checked Phone Bootloader update.
I had Odin setup with all the right files and settings, then used the "adb reboot download" the phone went into download mode, and then drivers were auto installed and Odin found the phone on com7, I held my breath and went for it.
But, I would do lots of your own research through this site, I could have just been lucky? and if you have even a little doubt, don't do it and wait for Kies and the official froyo.
Hope this helps a bit!

Ok, I will give it a try. But, can you gave me a link to all this files? I am really confused by now, reading dozens of threads and I want to be sure I will use the same files you used.
Hi
here for the SDK
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and here
www.samfirmware.com
for the firmware/Odin/and pit files
I used:
I9000XWJM1 # (this has the CODE/MODEM/CSC .tar's in a zip file, password needed but on the web page)
Galaxy S / .PIT File: DOWNLOAD. (512)
Odin 1.3
this was helpful, but not a guide to this:
http://www.techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/
Thats about the most info I can give you, but I will say (not to be nasty) but I hold no responsibility for a bricked phone, it is easy to do, but appears even easer to brick! the new froyo may be out on the 23 of this month, so maybe wait till then to see if samsung has fixed all the problems, I'm sure you would kick yourself if you bricked it a few day before an update that fixed the problem.
Ok guys, I feel this is just the end of the games... I was flashing back the Roto JME fw with the swype keyboard issue fixed that I have just made, when I accidentally unplugged the tab while starting flashing and in downloading mode.
Now all I get is a logo with a phone an alert symbol and a computer .
Windows as well as Odin see it, but I can't do anything, as Odin hangs on waiting for connection, or something like that.
Is there anything I can do?? Or do I really have to take it to the warranty? And if I will have to take it to the warranty will they see I have previously flashed a beta rooted image on it??
Here's what I am talking about
Please I need some help..
Thanks

I've heard plenty of goofy stories about bricking devices over the years. You must conclude the following:
1.Flash your device in a locked room to avoid your wife/ child pulling cables or pressing buttons.
2.Don't touch anything while you're flashing. This is why many people that could help you will ignore you after reading about 'accidentally disconnected' wires - they just assume you're a moron not worth helping.
3.Read instructions carefully and write the procedure out in your own words if its your first time.
I've been flashing for years and haven't had a brick yet. Not crossing my fingers either because it has little to do with luck and much to do with care. In this way its a lot like making babies...

Good advice.
My only semi-bricks (that involved an hour or two of trial and error to unbrick) resulted from some manner of overzealous cable unplugging.

Well, first of all thanks for ur nice words. Let me just say that I was about to disconnect another device from the hub where the GTAB was attached and flashing at that time, and yea, I accidentally unplugged the GTAB instead of the other device. I may be a moron, thanks, and thankfully not everyone believes themselves as god, which is a good reason to not help other people who are in troubles, even if for stupid things sometimes... If everyone were thinking like u we were probably still at the age of 1400 ...
Mate it wasn't a barb directed at you personally, but you weren't exactly careful were you?
I'm no god... but I've never bricked a device either, and I've been flashing for over five years now. To top it off I've almost never owned a device which could be taken back to the shop (90% of them come from other countries, not my local retailers). Perhaps this has taught me to be careful.
In any case, what I said holds true, and if you ask around I'm certain you find most will agree.
Dude, you have the best avatar! I can't keep my eyes away! Good luck, and don't worry about mistakes - that is one reason this forum exists.
Cannot start my Gtab after trying update JMC
...Hello everybody,
I am really worry about the fact my Gtab doesn't want to switch on after trying to flash it. I tried all process to put it on download mode or recovery but nothing work.
Do you have any idea about it ? Is there a specific procedure to switch on (eg : press power for 1 minutes + blablabla).
My provider doesn't want to take my Gtab in warenty before my contract is activated (the 4th of february).
Thank you for your answer

I also had a semi-bricked VZW Tab, with the phone-triangle-computer warning graphic at start up. (I flashed a new boot loader, and failed to read the instructions closely enough. Either the file was incorrect for my device, or the drivers were not loaded correctly, but my tablet was borked.)
Using heimdall 1.3.2 (with the correct drivers, on a 32-bit windows system), I clicked the "close pc screen" option to clear the warning.
I then held the power button until it turned off, then held vol+ and power to re-enter download mode. Once in download mode, I used heimdall 1.1.1 to flash the zImage from SCH-I800-Stock-Rooted-2.3.5. My tablet (still unrooted, and still stock?) booted, but sat at the SAMSUNG logo for ten minutes or more. (It announced its progress, telling me periodically "five minutes remaining", etc.)
Once it finished, my tablet was revived. I will now follow the above advice and read all instructions very carefully, re-writing them in my own words to ensure I understand what I'm doing, before I try this again.
One year old thread......do you guys ever watch posting dates???

...like REALLY bricked
bumping this old thread in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction...
Got my p7510 (10.1" wifi retail) stuck pretty badly when trying to restore stock ROM coming from Overcome (it came rooted from ebay). From what I gather from the forums, seems like my bootloader is still locked.
whenever I attempt to flash a BOOTLOADER, PIT, or PDA using ODIN it connects, initializes, and gets stuck on "Flashing boot.img"
I think the recovery partition is damaged. When I boot using Power + Volume Down, I can get to the screen where you select recovery mode or download mode but recovery mode will not load. The screen flickers when I select recovery, but goes nowhere. Download mode works.
I tried using nvflash to force the right software onto it but I get error 0x4 (usb write failed).
There has to be a way to restore the stock bootloader and get this thing running again. Tablet will not boot android at this point. I have been searching the forums for about a week now, anyone have any ideas?
I really need some help with my Zio m6000 cricket junk. I bricked it and can't figure out for the life of me how to fix it.
I read post after post in this forum and did everything I can think of and nothing is working. I have all the programs I think I need to dump the rom on my pc. None of them will even read that the phone is connected to the pc.
I sent message after message and only a few have responded but none knew how to help me. I thank those who did try though. I know there has to be a way to unbrick a Zio phone by now. None of the posts in the forum explain this in full detail because they are ALL from a year or more ago, or just don't explain in todays times how to do it.
I'm so close to just taking my hammer and smashing the phone and take the total loss with it. I can't affored to buy another phone, and Cricket service eats a **** for helping me replace the phone.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME INSTAL, RUN, PROGRAM WHAT NEEDS PROGRAMMED OR WHATEVER IT IS I NEED TO DO TO GET MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN????????

(SOLVED)
I'm not the most experienced, so I am not entirely sure if this will work, but I know it fixed my bootloop issue. Have you tried doing a factory restore? To do so, hold the power button and the volume down button. A screen will pop up, simply navigate using your scroll ball and select the factory restore option. Note that this will erase all Apps and user data on the phone (mine stayed rooted and kept some of the settings I changed via file manager). Sorry if this doesn't help, I hope that you figure it out soon. I'm sure some people on here can help you more than I can.

Thank you all, sinisin got me on google talk today and helped me step by step to reflash my whole phone to the new rom and get it working again for me . I would NEVER have done it myself, if anything I would have made the phone worse trying. lol, I have to thank you all for your help but most of all the biggest thanks has to goto sinisin for being very patient with the whole process and getting my phone running again for me. THANK YOU SINISIN.
So far i'm killing the battery for the calibration part of the instructions and all seems very good so far.
I also want to say and give extreme credit to all involved with making the custom 2.1 rom and getting it working. THANK YOU GUYS. ITS AWSOME! to what I've seen of it so far. I haven't messed with it just yet but getting ready to reinstal most of my apps back to my phone and DELETE clockworkmod from its sd card so i hopefully never brick it again using that crap. I knew better and was such a dummy noob for trying to use it.
Thank you again guys as well as you sinisin,

Hey ive tried this method but it keeps looking for the phone in debugging.
It only stays in Fastboot and thats the only thing that loads up.
Ive tried flashing the system.img's that i have found all say successful but it always boots back up into Fastboot.
Let me know if you have another method or any suggestions.
Thanks
If your M6000 Zio is a brick, run the leaked 2.2.1 from Zclusive. You will need to put the Zio into modem download mode then start the update.

If it is going into fastboot your not pressing the correct buttons on boot up. You have to push the Red, Green and Both volume buttons simultaneously and the phone will boot into Modem Download mode.
Update Failed
Ok I have installed the Modem drivers from Kyoceras website and made sure its connected in download mode. It says download mode on it.
Then I downloaded and opened the 2.000CR.5 etc
When it looks for the phone it says Update Failed.
Never picks it up. And I am running Windows XP just incase you wanted to know.
Its SP3.
Any ideas on why its not working for me?

I had a more complicated version of this. couldn't format, couldn't mount, nothing. My tab showed this, I tried flashing several different kernels/roms/cwm, everything, nothing. Actually made it worse. It got to a point where when I powered on, I only got the backlit softkeys. A few times I got a weird image I've never seen before. Something about bad or unknown upload mode (with a little droid in teh corner....should have taken a picture). And finally I would get nothing; HOWEVER, if I plugged my tab into my laptop and gave it a few seconds, ODIN would see it. I could try flashing a kernel, but it would never process, just hang at the first step so....
with the tab plugged into the laptop and ODIN showing a connection, I would hold VOL DOWN + POWER until I see it disconnect (this is evident of a power down since I have no lights to indicate that). Once it disconnects (yellow box disappears) you can let go of POWER but do NOT release VOL DOWN. It will reconnect shortly thereafter. You are now in Download mode (whether or not you actually see anything on the tablet. You can test this theory by flashing something. What fixed it for me? I downloaded firmware from samfirmware.com. Specifically I downloaded JJ7 v2.2 (full file name I used was P1000XWJJ7.rar) I think what made the difference was using all 3 files. I did not use a PIT file, I put P1000XWJJ7-REV03-ALL-CL669843.tar.md5 in the PDA box, MODEM_P1000XXJK5_REV_00_CL690077.tar.md5 for Phone, and GT-P1000-CSC-MULTI-OXXJK2.tar.md5 in CSC. I did NOT check repartition. Now, this was after I had tried several things like flashing PIT by itself, different stock kernels, full ROMs, etc.... This was the final step I took. Now I'm back to normal.
I'd be interested to see if this solves anyone else's problem. I am so thrilled that I just fixed my "bricked" tab (no power, no response, no apparent charging even) that I'm hoping my time and effort can help someone else.
Let us know what happens. I am actually scouring the forums now because I know at least 2 others were having similar problems as I and maybe this will help them as well.
BTW, I did lose EVERYTHING on the internal SD, including all my backups. Thankfully I always made backups to External
P.S. I should mention it is an AT&T (GSM) Tab.

I had a more complicated version of this. couldn't format, couldn't mount, nothing. My tab showed this, I tried flashing several different kernels/roms/cwm, everything, nothing. Actually made it worse. It got to a point where when I powered on, I only got the backlit softkeys. A few times I got a weird image I've never seen before. Something about bad or unknown upload mode (with a little droid in teh corner....should have taken a picture). And finally I would get nothing; HOWEVER, if I plugged my tab into my laptop and gave it a few seconds, ODIN would see it. I could try flashing a kernel, but it would never process, just hang at the first step so....
with the tab plugged into the laptop and ODIN showing a connection, I would hold VOL DOWN + POWER until I see it disconnect (this is evident of a power down since I have no lights to indicate that). Once it disconnects (yellow box disappears) you can let go of POWER but do NOT release VOL DOWN. It will reconnect shortly thereafter.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think your version of galaxy tab is different with mine and I am not sure that it will work. I am really desparate for solution. This disaster started when the tab's battery is low and suddenly off and when it's charged and turned on it bricked
Point being, tabs are tabs. You will need to use the same procedure, but a different ROM that is designed for your tablet. Go there and find a ROM. There is a thread about unbricking your tablet, I think in the Android Development section that should have a link to samfirmware.com and may provide you with a ROM version that should work. something that may help: plug your tab into the charger at least overnight. I used the stock charger and cable and charged it for 12 hours or so. I did not get any indication that it was charging since the screen and softkeys would not respond, but it did charge.
Of course, I look back and I think you have an indicator, but still a good idea. Try it anyway. Can't make it worse, eh? Mine seemed hardbricked, but it wasn't. I was real close to taking it apart before I found something that works. I believe, IMO, what really fixed it is flashing ROM (PDA), Modem, and CSC files all at once. It could have been something else, but that was the last thing I did before it finally booted.
Go to samfirmware.com, create a free account, and sign in. Then go here (I think your tab is a P1010, correct?) http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1010.htm
and Download this:
1010XWKC1 ## MULTI - CSC - OXXKC1 P1WIFI 2.2.1 2011 March DOWNLOAD
(click on DOWNLOAD)
Unzip that file you just downloaded
Start ODIN
Hold VOL DOWN and plug in tab to computer
I believe 3 files should be in the .rar (you can use 7-zip to open, Google it)
the MODEM file goes in Phone.
the CSC file goes in, you guessed it, CSC
last one is PDA.
I think I just rewrote instructions that can be found in the Galaxy Tab Bible. lol. This is what I would do. It worked for me.
Password for P1000XWJJ7.rar
Gentlemen,
I've downloaded both P1000XWJJ7.rar and P1010XWKC1_OXXKC1 to fix my bricked tab, but both require a password to extract the archives. Does anyone know the password? Has anyone had the same issue? I doubt it, otherwise i think it would have been addressed. Any help is appreciated.
I'm having the same problem were you able to fix it?

try sampro.pl
see if that works.
I too require the passwords to be able to extract these files if someone would be so kind.
Copied straight from SamFirmware.com. It is right at the top of the download page.
try both of these... seems it could be either one of them

do a quick search of the dev thread for EA24 and you should be able to find the original SPH-P100 files. then you can find the EB28 and EF17 updates as well to get all the way to the official GB release.
tried the suggested file still get the error that the OP got in the first screen

ok, no one likes a bricked device so let's see what we can do to help you. tell us where you are with your problem. by that i mean what model do you have, what rom were you running, what did you do or try to do that bricked your phone. i'll keep an eye on this thread looking for your response and we'll go from there.

thank you very much for helping me!!
can anyone help?
I have the T-Mobile version of this, but here's a guide and download files to recover your stock ROM. You can follow the entire guide if you want the Overcome ROM as well:
Guide:

Downloads:
http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=21
Good luck!
NOTE:
Sprint modem is not listed, but you can fix that later. If you can get it to work with this guide & using the last modem file, we can go from there.

try the one on teamovercome . net I have soft bricked mine but it worked after i followed their instructions there..
Has anyone EVER confirmed that overcome work for non GSM tab, for unbricking and CwM functions?

Now listen to this one...
OK, so after a lot of reading and surfing, I finally decided to root my Galaxy Note N7000, using the method described here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv2oGo1_yTQ and I did prepare all and myself mentally for all the variants of the failure.... except for one...
ok. so I download all the software needed on both my English/British Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium laptop and on a XP Home 32-bit laptop, just in case there are some incompatibilities, I'll have it all covered right??? WRRRRROOOONNNNNGGGG!!!
I put the phone in download mode connect it to pc and want to start Odin (1.85 version), but I get "Odin3.ini 000 000" (except the zeroes were square...) small pop-up screen with "ok" in the middle... So, I think "oh, ok, again asking for permission... GRANTED" and I press it and the screen/window of Odin flashes in the third of a second and disappears... I try again.... Same story... on both laptops.... with kies on and off... installed and uninstalled... SGN N7000 connected and disconnected.... same with the downloaded Odin from zedomax's link and from any other link I could find...
What is the problem???!!! Seriously, have you heard of that????
I don't even get to brick my phone, that is how the Android gods hate me!!!
I can't even start Odin programme... (yes, I did Run as Admin)
what is it?
I tried turning off antivirus and firewall... nothing...
Any ideas?
Try these methods :
Download a fresh Odin, maybe yours is corruptEd.
After the download extract the entire rar directly into a folder and then run Odin from that folder.
I got a similar error on Odin once when I placed the Odin icon on the desktop.it was a long time ago so I don't remember the error but I couldn't run Odin either.
And for Godssake don't use a 64 bit machine, we've already got enough trouble as it is on regular 32s.
i run 64BIT...and ODIN3 v1.85...it works flawlessly...just remember to run it AS ADMINSITRATOR....
I read somewhere that the odin folder should be placed on the root of c: drive. Works flawlessly on my 64bit win7 machine. I've also set it to run as administrator.
please hit thanks if i helped

Hey, guys, you're a golden bunch really!
Turns out the problem wasn't any of the above mentioned meanies, but the fact that I extracted Odin to an Odin folder in My Documents and then copies that file/exe to desktop (I like my start buttons on the "main command frame", which is desktop for me ), and after posting this OP of this thread I went for a cold shower, and an early morning run and thought I'd try the whole thing one more time... This time I didn't put the Odin exe on the desktop, because I expected it to fail again... But, as it turns out, my lack of faith in Odin MADE IT WORK!!!
And, yes, the Note is rooted, and straight away (while luck is still on my side! ) I went for the Galaxy_s unlock and BusyBox apps to sim unlock my phone from the evil claws of UK Vodafone... And it worked as in 1.2.3.-DONE!
Guys, thanks for your effort and time invested in trying to help... I really appreciate it... It is great to know that if one gets stuck there will always be someone who has a solution, or at least will to find it through co-operation...
Now, find some good, useful apps, nice launcher (maybe tweak Touchwiz, if possible), good battery app, and research which ICS custom ROM based on a stable kernel is "da best"...
Glad it worked in the end. Check out paranoid android for a great and safe ics experience (based on cm9)
