[Help] Loaded AT&T ROM onto GSM i9000

Hi all,
I accidentally loaded an AT&T ROM onto my Galaxy S. Now, I cannot boot it to downloader mode to flash another ROM. Anyone can advise?
Everytime, it boots into the AT&T splash screen and the screen turns on and off ... regardless of the key combo I used.
Thanks.

try volume up+volume down + power buttons
instead of power+volumen up+home buttons

No go. Tried alot of different combinations and the phone just won't go into downloader mode. Worse is the phone absolutely refuse to boot up once it is plugged in (whether USB or charger). When it's plugged in, it will not even display the battery charging icon.
When not plugged in, it will only boot to the AT&T splash screen and then goes into an endless loop of showing the screen and showing a black screen.
Think I have absolutely bricked the phone. I need advise. Can Samsung reflash the phone if I bring it in? I am willing to pay for them to do so. Or must the whole motherboard be replaced? If the latter, I am not willing to do so as getting a new phone will cost much cheaper (I still have a line I can recontract)

Bump. Anyone?

Welcome to the club; there's no solution yet

try this, i read from else where...
Let the bricked phone turn on, let it go into the stuck screen.
after a very looooooooong while, it will turn itself back off
after that, use the 3 button combination to turn it back into the DOWNLOAD mode
hold Volume Down + hold Home + hold Power
2 sec later should go directly to the Download Mode screen

can you get into the Download mode?
if you can then it's easy with Odin

anyone able to fix this problem or get back to download mode

I bought the phone back to Samsung and they also cannot do anything. In the end, they changed the whole motherboard. Thankfully, they did it under warranty.

phone stuck on galaxy s screen

Alright guys,
Tried installing some battery icon replacement the phone then restarted...then gets stuck on galaxy s screen it plays the startup music in the background but doesnt change...i held the volume up, home and power button to reset the phone but it still freezes on the screen.
I've got no idea how to flash to stock australian rom any help would be most appreacited....

Turn the phone off.
Check then if download mode is working(volume+,home then power).
If this works then use odin to change the firmware.
Search the development section for this.
Hope you fix it.
Cheers

[Q] GT-P7310 stuck in APX-mode

Hi guys and girls,
My GT-P7310 froze suddenly when I was just browsing. First I waited for a few minutes, but the tab was still stuck on the same screen. So I hold the power button for a minute or so, till the screen went off. And since then my tab doesn't want to get back on anymore..
I already tried to hold the power button for a few minutes, also with volume button up and/or down. I also tried to drain the battery for a few weeks, but still no reaction when I now put back in a little power in the tab. The only reaction that I get from the tab, is when I connect it on the computer by USB. In my driver list I can see the computer is searching for a APX-driver. It's not constantly, because the tabs keeps losing connection to the computer and coming back up, but the driver search is still the best and only sign of life that my tab shows.
My tab was working on a custom rom. No problems with that for at least 6 months and wasn't doing anything like updates or so. So I have no idea why the tab just froze and went to this APX-mode while I was just using a browser app.
I hope someone can help me out with a solution to get my tab back to life? Otherwise I will have to send him back to Samsung and hope..

But i think the Tablet is bricked and you need to send it back to Samsung

Any Ideas? Need Help

phone is an att note 5, unlocked, using t-mobile sim. *Due note, I repaired the lcd on this as it was shattered, along with the back glass cover, and everything was fine until I unlocked it*
Problem is, when I stop using the phone and the phone locks or "sleeps". It seems that it doesn't turn back on or wake up (Black screen, sometimes shows blue light indicating I have a notification but still black screen) if i press any key or button. Only way for it to show anything is to hold the power button longer to fully turn it back on. Take note, this only happens when my WIFI is on and working and I stop using the phone. The time varies, sometimes it won't do it for couple minutes, sometimes a few seconds. I dont even know my phone has been turned off or dead asleep literally, as there is no sound or anything either.
This will continue to do this until when i boot the phone back up and the wifi CANT be turned on at all, letting me use just the mobile data and it wont shut off or anything and works fine except, wifi can't be turned on at all.
NOW to get my wifi back up and running, I can't simply restart, I have to fully power down, then turn on the phone. BUT again, if wifi works, it'll end up shutting off once I stop using the phone.
Any ideas? I'm on OI6 firmware, I cleared cache, tried factory reset any way you can, I've tried safe mode. Still the same problem.
I can't flash the firmware as ATT hasn't released anything soo its pretty much strictly a phone without wifi at this point.

Flash it using the option Emergency software recovery and initialization on Smart Switch.

Ya I did that when I was on OGG. Didn't help either way, but I'm guessing its the unlock itself. When I use someones ATT sim, wifi works great. When I put the tmobile sim back in, wifi can't be turned on but my mobile data works.

Problem with my SIII Mini (GT-I8190) booting up

Hey guys.. I have a problem with my phone here's the story of what happened & what I have done so far:
I was using my phone normally and it suddenly turned off at around 30% battery (my battery is in a pretty bad state and I do know I have to replace it) but after leaving the phone charging for a bit and then turning it on it goes to the initial logo that says 'Samsung GALAXY S III Mini" and the phone doesn't go past it, it restarts infinitely and won't go past the inital logo, not even to the part where it shows up an animated blue samsung logo, I've tried infinite times doing volume-up + home button + power button and it doesn't go to the system recovery mode, it just doesn't go past the samsung SIII logo, so I've tried installing 3 different firmwares that are supposed to work through odin (Yes, the phone does boot to download mode with odin once you press volume down + home + power, but not recovery) and all of them have the same problem, it gets to the initial logo and restart infinitely, I haven't messed with the odin options (so the default 2 have always been checked), don't know what they do and every place I check out says to not mess with these options so I haven't touched them yet, anyways, today I went to a local store and informed about my problem with the phone, they tried a new battery (just for test, didn't buy) and the phone still has the same problem, they told me I can leave it there and that they'll fix it within 1 day but I don't have the money for it right now... so that's about all I've done thus far.. what do you guys recommend me to do?
Im a newb about this stuff on installing OS/Firmware/whatever on mobile devices (never done this stuff before, only doing this because my phone has this problem) so if you're gonna tell me something please include some steps on what I should be doing!
Thanks in advance!
