[Q] Please help!! Galaxy s wouldnot turn on!

Hi there
Right now my Samsung Galaxy S wouldn't turn on.
Before this happened, I tried to flash DXJG4 on my device but ODIN got stuck at factoryfs.rfs for ages (more than 10 minutes). So I unpluged the device and took out the batterry. Then i inserted in the battery again and press Volume Down+Home+Power Botton (to get into download mode again). but nothing happens. Cannot even get anything to come up no matter what i press.
Im freaked out right now. Can somebody please help?
Edit : The screen comes back up now after a 30 minute darkness. phew!
Tried to flash again but still stuck at

any idea please?

nothing even comes up when i plug in the charger

Maybe try to download firmware again as well as pit file. Then try to flash it again. Its really hard to brick this phone. Of course I understand that you have usb drivers properly installed and you know well flashing procedure with odin.

wait, so it does not even turn ON at all?
it'll not be possible to flash anything if you can't even mange to turn it on
at the very least in the worse case scenario you should see this fail screen of a bad flash

you could try going into RECOVERY MODE first,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
then select the options to Wipe Cache, then Wipe Data
reboot,
now go back into Download Mode
and try to flash with Odin3 again
and make sure Check the box to REPARTITION

can you go into the download screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
if you are able to go to that screen, then you can flash with Odin3 again

No, can't go into download or recovery mode

then, you wont be able to do much to fix it.
take it back to the store, tell them your computer rebooted when it was updating.

thank you

I had that problem also (the one from the picture)....
Don't take your phone to the store... =)
Just try this:
- Remove battery+sdcard+power cord+everything you can
- Press AND HOLD the "Volume Down" + "Power Button" combination
- Count to 3 and say "Cú da velha"
- Ask someone to plug in the battery
Welcome to download mode... I hope =)
tell me about it

Hello guys.
I just have one very weird problem with my phone.
Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.
What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says
E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.
When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!
Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?
Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?
I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.
Thanks.

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
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER

5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.
Hope That Helps......

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

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.

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.

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.

Edit: Just saw that you already flashed Corn and got CWM. You're well on the way now.

Thanks for the reply but I can't do it. The phone has now stopped responding completely.
It gives no response on pressing these key combinations. Though I have tried these combinations in the morning and were working fine.
I think I'll give it a night and try these again in morning.

Pull out battery, put it back in and hold those keys untill you feel short vibration.

where can i find this stock JB??
I have downloaded the relevant Indian version from this site live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9070
will this suffice?? or do i need to download another.
Also slightly elaborate the procedure.
Thanks.

Before download mode and reflash with Odin, recharge the phone!!!

Did you wipe dalvik cache? You probably already did.

How to clear dalvin cache?

No I did not.
I did try to wipe data but it did not succeed. It gets stuck on formatting /data and then nothing happens (i left it as it is for about an hour and I guess it should not take that much time).
I also did try to wipe cache but then the phone doesnt respond.
Also last night I did flashed it using ODIN. It was successful but the problem still remains same.
Can you explain the Dalvik Cache procedure a little more?

Even flashing did not work

Somebody just help me
No response?
Is there no other solution or no one cares to provide me with one?
Is there anything else left that can be done or should I consult the Samsung Service Center.

After you flash the firmware with Odin, you tried to get into recovery? Remove the battery, put it back, simultaneously press the three buttons (volume up, menu and power). If you get into recovery, you have to touch factory reset and restart.
Try a reflash with Odin ...
If it still does not work, service Samsung is recommended ...

Absolutely Nothing that I should not...
I just turned off the phone using power button and selecting Power Off. Just to turn it off again (that too for some stupid sort of vodafone services error: 0x05).
But the phone did never turned on again.

I did factory reset but it didn't work. same as earlier it just stops responding.
Samsung people say my motherboard is gone. need to be replaced. But I dont believe them, dont know why but I have a gut feeling that the motherboard is fine as the ODIN flash procedure went very smoothly, unsuccessful though... also phone is still responding during recovery procedure, though not completing the procedure correctly.
Also, I just dont wanna believe my phone is dead.

Then take it to some other service, and see what they will say. You have unofficial service there (non Samsung)?
But that what is happening in Odin telling you that they are not lying you.

Help with brick please

Hey all,
As per title, A while back I rooted and installed a few custom roms on my unit before sticking with one named
"GT-7000_SweetROM_V11.1_LTA" and all was going well until a "super user" app update and a "low battery" met in the middle and my phone lost power and turned off.
Now my phone will not boot and freezes on the samsung logo, pressing vol up + power + home will, not bring up the recovery mode
but vol down + power + home will take me to a download screen, Odin, if my research is right.
I've read a few posts with the same symptoms as me but with different reasons for getting there in the first place and I'm unsure of what to do.
If my reading has been correct I'm not hard bricked but am in a bit of a spot and PC Odin can help me out, but then there are different versions of Odin as well.
Just some more bits and peices that I can think of to try and give you all as much info as possible. here goes,
I do remember Philz ???? something on my phone and was able to switch between roms by placing them on the external micro sd card and using vol up + power + home to navigate a menu.
Whilst writing this post I have had my unit plugged in via usb and it justs sits there with the battery icon showing but it shows no movement ie: the little cirle will not spin nor will the green charge level go up. Also it tried to install "mobi" something onto my pc.
Another problem I'm having is finding a valid download link for PC Odin any help there would be cool.
If you need anymore info I'll do my best but I'm very new to this, many thanks
E2A: have downloaded Odin and phone is reconized there just need to learn how to use the Prog

Download and flash PhilZ kernel 15.5 odin version. Flask on via odin (put it in pda tab and flash) and see if you can get your phone working again or can get into recovery. If not download and.flash whole stock jb rom. There is also a ltc rom odin version recently posted in one of the two dev threads.
As how to use odin for note, find the famous sticky thread by dr.ketan in our n7000 forum.

@rinksy55 you said low battery right? charge the battery first and then try to go to recovery and download mode.

Yeah low battery which doesnt seem to be charging acording to the widget but I can enter download mode whilst plugged in to usb but not recovery
just for info my phone acts the same wether plugged into comp or the wall socket with samsung hardware
guess Im screwed eh?
thanks

I would try a new battery.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm sure the battery is fine it's the phone thats mucked up, I've not had any problems to idicate my battery was failing
Are there any other avenues I could explore? I'm willing to get a new battery but then I could have 1 phone and 2 dead batteries and no way of charging.
When I tried flashing PhilZ kernel and the jb rom with Odin it was Odin that did its thing then reported to have failed, the phone had power to it the whole time and was showing the download screen with the message "do not turn off target".
thanks for you help so far

Thanks for helping out :good:
Drivers are up to date, installed kies then uninstalled leaving the drivers behind.
USB, have used all the ports on my pc
Changed cable, used the wife's S3 cable
Ports, I can open ports easy, thought that was just router tho
PC, not sure what you mean there but running Win7 with decent spec.
Still the same outcome, fails on connection
thanks for taking the time tho

I saw that link earlier and tried 'PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLR1-OZS-5.11.2.tar.md5' and after reading your last post went back and tried 'PhilZ-cwm6-ZSLR1-OZS-5.11.2.tar.md5'
dont think its the rom heres the text from odin:

1. Install the latest drivers from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956/
2. Reboot
3. Disable all antiviruses
4. On your phone:
a) Boot into download mode
b) Plug your phone into your PC (only plug it into the USB 2.0 ports, don't do it on 3.0 or 1.1 or 1.0 etc.)
c) Follow the on screen instructions saying something along the lines of "Press volume up to continue" - you want to continue
d) Check whether Odin has detected your phone, if it has continue to step 5
5. Flash a stock ROM or kernel
6. If it succeeds, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset <= ONLY IF IT ISN"T ICS

OK.. Odin is not able to get to the PIT mappings.. There seems to be some connection issues. Check with newer version of Odin.. Also probably a different pc.

I got that mobogenie rubbish by accident once too, it came with daemon tools.
Can you perhaps try those steps on another computer?

I do have an old lappy but it has Ubuntu installed and that drives me nuts lol, only other option is to put Odin plus Rom onto memory stick and visit a friend..
You said something about PIT and Ive seen some posts on it, I guess that roue is last resort?
really appreciate you help here

If there is a proper connection, then odin should be able to get the partition mapping from the phone and will be displayed as
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

and if I cant get a proper connection (I can't, Odin never gets past SetupConnection) Im doomed?

That's why try on a different pc.

Would a clean install of win7 work, I have spare hard drive I could try, I'm guessing youre thinking driver probs on my pc
