[Q] Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Bricked - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a bricked Samsung Galaxy S, now it reboots continuously and I can't enter in Recovery Menu but I can enter in Download Mode but when I enter in it reboots. It shows the samsung logo and then reboot. I have read about Jig but is there a method through software? Where can I buy this Jig? I have searched in the forum but I haven't found a good tutorial about it, where is it?
Thanks! (I can't tell you how it is bricked because it isn't mine)

Changing batter I was able to enter in Download mode but Odin sometimes recognize and sometimes not. When I was able to recognize it with Odin I have flashed this firmware: mediafire.com/download/7zi08msdhtguuig/GT_I9000_XXJVO_XXJVO_OXAJVO_Sbl.7z
with s1_odin_20100512 and Re-Partition. But when I start appears this message in odin 1.7: Can't open the serial(COM) port. i9000
I have tried with Odin 3.09 and it blocks on "Setup Connection".
Anyone can help me please?
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Odin v.3.09 is incompatible with i9000. Last compatible Odin was 1.83, any later may work, but also screw the i9000

[Q] Bricked? VZW SGT Stuck on Battery Meter after VZW Bootstrapper

As title says... After installing and using VZW Bootstrapper + KashMek ROM SGT stuck on Battery Meter...
I've tried Power+Vol Up but nothing happens... screen flickers.
I've searched the forum for this one but nothing... Any input? Anything else I could try?
Thanks in advance.
Same thing happened to me last week. I had to heimdall back to stock
Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
i gave up on getting a rom to boot properly and settled with kashmek's voodoo kernel
oh, and following this post:

word for word got the bootstrapper to successfully work for me and the clockworkmod fun began.
Thanks for your reply.... I was able to boot to Download Screen but my problem right now is that Heimdall will not recognize the tablet... I followed the instructions about the drivers but to no avail. I get an "Error 12 Failure to access device"
Got it working... Thanks for Your help.
I cant figure out error 12 either... mine is even more bricked than that and I dont understand why its still being recognized by odin and not heimdall. and it runs through stock firmware flash with odin says pass but when its done the screen is still black someone help
For the error 12 issue, this means you don't have the Heimdall driver installed. ODIN uses a seperate driver than Heimdall so you can't use both at the same time. If in download mode ODIN sees the device, this means that the ODIN driver is installed. To install the Heimdall driver and learn more about it, just check out my video:

[Q] Bricked Galaxy S : Download mode corrupted?

Hi everyone
So here it is : No program is able to recognize/detect my Galaxy S i9000M (Bell Vibrant) when it's in download mode, so I can't flash any ROM. My phone is currently fully bricked and unusable. I cannot access to the recovery mode with the three-button thingy or by "adb reboot recovery"
I bricked using Odin 1.8, trying to flash a 2.2 froyo stock ROM from Samfirmware. The flashing went ok, but it failed to reboot. Actually, the screen was turned off and nothing was happening. I figured out it was fully bricked so I made a USB JIG, it worked. I can access my download mode.
I connected the phone to my Windows 7 computer and used Odin to flash back to 2.1 Eclair, with a stock ROM from Samfirmware. It failed (I don't remember the error message, it was a couple days ago...).
I tried with Heimdall Frontened. It had a problem uploading the .pit file, so the flashing didn't work.
Now each time i connect the phone to my computer, Windows (and Heimdall frontened and Odin) doesn't detect it,which means that I can't flash anything on it even though it is in download mode.
I have tried reinstalling like every driver on earth, still not responding.
I tried on another Windows 7 machine and on Ubuntu, the device is not detected.
I tried with different USB cables, nothing happens.
This is my hypothesis (maybe silly) : Could the problem be the Download mode being corrupted?
Whatever... I could use some help from you guys.
Thank you,
Sam
I had/have the same problem.
I installed the Samsung Kies and now my computer recognize my phone again.
But I have still no idea what I need to flash to make my phone working.

That is strange... I tried installing Kies and it didn't detect the phone. And you could just flash any 2.3 stock ROM with Odin I guess.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S stuck on boot screen

Hi, i'm noob in Galaxy Flashing so this is my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 blocked from italian carrier.
Few times ago i tried to enable 3-buttons download/recovery mode installing Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 with Odin. The installation finished successfully but the download/recovery mode still didn't work.
After some reboots (where the phone worked right), now the phone stucks in the boot screen (the one with Galaxy S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG).
With the JIG i can enter download mode but my computer can't detect the phone (Windows feels my USB connection but Odin does not detect it).
If i connect the phone to the computer in normal mode (not in download mode, so with stuck screen), Kies can detect the phone but says that it can't talk with phone in this way(like if it was in USB Debug mode).
I Hope someone can help me
Restart your computer>>>Go to task manager and close all Kies applications (I usually have 2 Kies running from startup)>>>Start Odin and select all the files>>>Put your phone into download mode and connect>>>It should be detected now.
If it is still not detected, close odin, disconnect phone. Start Kies go to tools and install drivers. Once this is complete. Close Kies and start from the top of this post...restart...
Solution Is HEIMDALL.....
Here Comes your solution:
You can easily back your phone with Heimdall.
It's a flashtool which is more complicated than ODIN.
If interesting,simply PM me and we will do it.
I'm Here...
Well,first go to here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
Second: Download 7-zip PC software & extract your official md5 firmware to obtain several other files.
Third:Search the web for a Heimdall How-To(if you didn't find,I'll provide You links)
Last:You'll flash the firmware via Heimdall & again your peace of mind will be back.
Try to reflash your phone normaly with another Rom, it should work

Sorry, your advice didn't work, Odin still doesn't detect the phone
Try to change the USB port and install ONLY the phone driver -if you don't find you can contact me.

I don't understand, your download mode works?
Sent from my Galaxy S with ICS 4.0.4 (Italy)
he said download mode works but odin cant detect the phone .
Try reinstalling the samsung usb drivers and/or try from another pc and see if it shows the same thing (meaning nothing) .
Hi,
sorry but i tried all the ways, Odin and Heimdall.
I tried Odin on Windows and Heimdall on MacOSX but always they say
"Failed to detect compatible download-mode device."
I'm sure that phone is in download mode
May i install drivers on OSX with Heimdall?
I have not original samsung USB cable, but i think this is not a problem
Rooted my GT-I9000, and now it has crashed!
First off all my Galaxy I9000 was trying to software update via Kies, and it failed. The it would not start, but i managde to root it with a stock "VOD" rom.. But after a while i wantet to root it back to "Nordic Version"... But i could not do this, because the 3 button combo dont work on my Galaxy I9000 anymore.. :/ So there for i baought a USB JTAG, that puts it into download mode. So far, So good But when it is finished rooting, it fails to mount/unmount a bunch of stuff.. I have a picture of the screen, so that you guys can se what the problem is. I have tryed to root it with the same version that worked before, but it dont work. I have also tryed with som pit files, and so on... I give up, i need help with my Samsung Galaxy S - GT-i9000. Please help me out with this..
Getting Hopeless...?
1)For you to become sure,my Galaxy S Aka I9000 was exactly the same as yours and right now there is nothing wrong with that of course after flashing by HEIMDALL.
2)Remember,if your are going to do anything,Your first and your last key,is your HOPE so be so hopeful and let's start to get over this.
3)Download I9000 USB driver from here and simply install it on WINDOWS OS.
http://hotfile.com/dl/48893334/93383a1/I9000_USB_driver.rar.html
4)Before Using Heimdall, Enter it's folder and you'll see another sub folder called driver and you'll see just ONE executable program,run it and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
5)Enter Heimdall and follow these instructions:
(I'll Shortly Provide You A How-to)
6)Flash firmware
7)Enjoy

generally no, but I recommend strongly to try another micro USB-Cable & another USB Port!
No one of these method does work for me,
any suggest?? my main problem is that the pc does not detect the phone when it's in download-mode. I know how to flash it, but there is not a program that can talk with it!

Hi, changing computer worked. I tried on OSX and didn't work, on Windows 7 on VMware Fusion and didn't work. After all, i tried on a laptop with Windows XP and it solved my problem. Now i get a mobile network error, with one carrier it works and with another it does not. The mobile network detected is always really low.

Stuck in Odin in "Leave CS"

I'm trying to update to 2.3.6 through Odin. Installed usb drivers (later i installed kies), and confirmed that device is usb recognized both on and download mode (used adb devices shell command). Also, when I put the cable with odin, I get the yellow colour on comm signal. However, everytime I choose the PDA file and "START" (i'm running the odin as administrator in win 7 x64), I always get stuck at "leave cs".
Nothing happens from there. What can I do?

Make sure that your usb port is working correctly. I had same problem untill I tried to use Odin on other computer. Then everything went smoothly, let me know if that helped you. (You might just use other usb port, I used other pc because my all ports are ****ed up )

Excellent dude! I could install the stock rom provided by my carrier using Odin 1.85.
Odin 3.07 or 09 didn't work with my GT-I9300 :-/
Thanks a lot for your help!!!
Odin stopped at "Leave CS" SOLVED!!
:good:
Just when I was starting to think I may have really bricked my T-Mobile Note 2, I found this thread. Downloading and using Odin 1.85 to flash stock 4.3 ROM worked for me. Odin 3.xx would freeze. I've voided my warranty doing all this, but my phone is back to working like new. Yay!!!
(STOCK ROM - PDA: T889UVUCMK7 for T-Mobile Note 2 - SGH-T889, downloaded from sammobile.com/firmwares
Many thanks to everyone who helped to solve this!!
Alright I am stumped....What does "Leave CS"
..What does "Leave CS" Stand for? sorry its been bothering me while working on my friends SM-T377A Tab E

[Q] galaxy mini download mode problem

I bricked my galaxy mini (gt-s5570) one year ago while trying to flash a rom to it. Now when i try to unbrick it odin wont recognize it while it is in download mode. Widows does atleast realize that i connected a device but it is not recognizing it. i have tried multiple borts on my computer but none seem to work. Also while in download mode i only see the picture and "Downloading...", no "do not turn off target!" like i see in many pictures. Anybody know how to fix this? i have tried multiple unbrick tutorials but either i get stuck in "setup connection.." in odin while in ramdump or in android system recovery on my phone.
You don't need to say "do not turn off target" in your mini, it's normal.
Try download drivers (from Kies) and try again, or you can try with another PC.
