Probably don't work but if you get a bootloop after all this process, try power off the phone (remove battery) and then try to access to Samsung recovery and do a wipe data.
I'll sell this phone and when I did a restore with Odin, I got a bootloop after this process but restarting the phone and getting access to Samsung recovery and doing a wipe date, it work.
Try it

This procedure will get you back to stock JPU ROM via Odin and Download Mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10449932&postcount=7
Then once your phone is working again you can go ahead and flash to a custom ROM which I'm guessing you know how to do. Let me know!
Ok dude I`m doing it now, fingers kriss crossed!!!
Ok this happened....
I took usb out, restarted pc, then phone went into recovery mode, I did a factory/data wipe, same with cache, was about to restart phone, now there`s a white box with an orange arrow comming out of it and a little green android man?
I pressed menu button, it brought up recovery, I restarted, went passed the white logo screen to swirling S logo screen, also played music, now at black screen....
Still in black screen but every 20 or so seconds it vibrates once then 3 quick times???
After sometimes it is required to do a factory reset to get it working.If your flash was succesfull try to factory reset it in recovery mode.
Tried Odin again and got the same error, so when I get into recovery mode I should factory reset everything?
Tried to get back into recovery from download mode and got the bricked screen!!! Its hopeless now is`nt it
I can still get into download mode.....
I dont really get what you are trying to do.
Can you get in recovery mode and do a factory reset???
I was in recovery and did that and it got to the swirling S logo screen then screen went black, vibrated once then 3 short ones every 30 or so seconds and thats it, it did`nt go any further.....
I keep getting a FAIL when I try to flash using Odin
I notice when I`m putting in the info in to PDA PHONE CSC areas, I dont see where I`m supposed to use this..
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
I followed it all step by step, or i dont see it in the steps
Hmm i had that screen many times but always able to flash with Odin.Are you sure you got the drivers on your pc?Make sure that you havent Kies running,on try or in backround,or any other program that is used to connect your phone.Also its always good to use a free USB port on your pc,and by saying free i also mean that it not one of the front panel USB cuz those ones sometimes are shared.
Start at the beginning .

Repartition was checked, should I put the modem one in the phone section?
2. Open Odin AS the Man said .
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
I`m still getting a FAIL on it.
I download that Odin, reinstalled the Samsung drivers and disabled anything related to the phone.
I tried it even without the sim car and sd card in cause I read one post that had tried it and it worked.
From the instructions it looks like I`m using 3 of the 4 files download, remember that modem one.
I definitely have to use that same file twice for PDA and phone?
I followed these instructions to the letter...
file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/xda-developers%20-%20View%20Single%20Post%20-%20[Q]%20i9000%20can%20not%20boot.htm
I`m not sure which one is the right Odin to use, but I tried the both of them and still the same results.
There both v1.30, the gt-p1000 is the one from the previous post..
I`m even trying different USB ports...
Ya fuppin BEAUTY, I did it, I put into the phone section in Odin that modem file and here`s what I got...
NoW I have fireware 2.2.1
Baseband jpu
Kernel 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
Build
Froyo.xxjpu
Is this the new froyo?
Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?
Would this also mean I`ve 3E instead of 2E?
Is this the new froyo?
Says Froyo
Will I be able to go back to Darky`s 8.0?
On your own head be it all i have done for a week is answer borked post all using this rom .
Would this also mean I`ve 3E instead of 2E?
Probably flash via Odin you will need to search i dont have a link .
CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1
Its probably on Darkys front page as is Clockwork .
Install sd card update zip CWM twice to get to 2e .
jje
Ok first of all I want to thank the 2 of ya`s for all your help, I really appreciate it!!!
Now that I`m up and going for some reason my pc does`nt see my phone even tough it says I`m connected on my phone?
I restarted my pc, reconnected phone nothing...
If its not one problem its another...

Help help help

I did an Odin wipe and now the touch isnt working on my phone!! What do I DO!? Its stock so it goes straight to MTP transfer instead of debugging and I cant change it. PLEASE HELP.
What do you mean the touch? Give more details
Alright, well I was having problems with dig11fs rom so I decided I wanted to install serendepity 5.0. I plug in my phone, run odin and go into download mode. Once in download mode I press start and it goes through and does the factory reset of my phone. My phone turns on and the "swipe screen to unlock" screen comes up. I try to swipe it and nothing. I try going back to download mode and maybe running odin again. Not working. I try different things but overall my touch screen isnt working at all. I went to recovery and deleted user and cache thinking maybe something will work. Phone boots back up and still nothing. I can't do anything cuz I cant get to usb debugging without being able to use the touchscreen.
I just did a master clear with odin and still my touch screen isnt responding! The buttons are working fine but the touch screen is not.
This is a new one.
Pull battery or for a couple minutes. Then try again
what is the build of your phone, located under battery, something like 1008
I think you are in store for a jig
It says 10.08 on the white sticker under my battery.
Have you used odin before, what its the name of the odin file you used?
I have used odin a few times before. Not a problem. I tried the battery pull, nothing.
I used the newest odin "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.zip" I just downloaded it about an hour ago.
Good news is that you are on stock, so if need be call at&t and file warranty claim. You said matter clear went through correct/
Have you had problems with three button combo in the past?
Do you know what a jig is?
I can get to download mode no problem with the 3 button method. Thats not the problem and I have ideas of what a jig is but if it can help me right at this moment i would appreciate the information.
You can still.get into dl mode?
Have you tried odin flash more then once

A jig wont help, if you can get to download mode you don't need a jig. this sounds like a bad flash, try flashing stock again.
Yes I can get into dl mode and I tried twice so far.
I actually have a charger in my house that will disable the touch screen. I once made the mistake of trying to flash using CWM while my phone was plugged up to that charger and when everything booted back up my touch screen was disabled completely. I was able to Odin back to stock and reflash everything.

Go find the post for the Stock rom with the 3 button fix and the ODIN that is not one click and use that. the one click downloader does strange things sometimes. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THAT POST COMPLETELY BEFORE FLASHING.
This one.
1. Download ODIN and the PIT file and extract it somewhere.
2. Download the PDA file and put it in the directory where you extracted ODIN and PIT to.
3. open ODIN and click the PIT button and choose the PIT file that came with it.
4. click on the PDA Button and choose the PDA.tar that you downloaded from the post.
5. power off your phone completely.
6.Hold down vol up and vol down and plug in the cable.
7. Click start.
So i tried using a different charger, nothing. I'm trying to run the not one click odin.

[Q] Ultimate brick

I rooted my sgs 3 mini and install custom ROMs. I loaded CM 11 (4.4.2 kitkat) from Maclaw.pl. It worked, but after few weeks, my fhone just suddenly shut down. Tried to unroot it via odin + stock ROM, but nothing happens. Or something happens, there is the samsungs own bootlogo back. But the phone is stuck on that logo. Funny part is that when I put a charger on, there appears maclaws panda charging logo. I tried to load stock charging logo via odin, but nothing happens. Phone won't get to recovery mode, but the download mode works. Any ideas what to do? Except to throw it to trash can...
If the download work so
Recovery also need to work

It could be something with a corrupt param or something. Have you tried the service firmware also, not just the stock firmware?

[Q] Galaxy Ace - Download mode and stock rom doesn't work

I upgraded my Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830c to 4.2.2, run.
After I moved to 4.3 and also worked, but after changing some things in build.prop (Root Explorer), my phone stopped getting into Download mode, It is a gray screen forever. Now my phone is stopped ( Loop Infinite )
I can not do unroot: Installation Aborted.
When I try to change my android version (install zip from sd card), appear this: Installation Aborted
I did found the build.prop backup, and I can not go back to stock rom by odin, because as I said, the screen turns gray when I try to enter download mode.
Help me, will have to go back stock rom, downloading a backup. (My friend did it, but I did not think and do not know how to do)
Thanks, beautiful site admin

You can continue with the installation using "One Package". According to @fernando15j, when he pressed the key combo, it was in Download Mode even though the downloading image was not displayed. If this doesn't work work either, then your last option will be USB Jig. You can use the following guide to make your own,
Need a Samsung USB Jig? Build Your Own
I hope you can unbrick your Samsung Galaxy Ace. Good Luck! Hope I helped

I'm so sorry to hear that. I suggested you that option because the user @Baracs was successful in forcing open his Ace's Download Mode using USB Jig. Here is the thread,

Hard Bricked my Note 5 :)

Hi all,
I was running Custom ROM on my Galaxy Note 5. (Minosauras ROM v10)
Suddenly today morning the display was garbled with coffee stain pixels and while tried powering on I also had vertical glitch.
No recovery , no download mode
I tried connected to ODIN. I could do it.
Downloaded Stock firmware and flashed it.
Alas ! No chance of life.
a) can anyone give me PIT file for Indian version 32GB.
I tried using N920G UUB and ZTO pit file.
Now I have problems flashing system.img which clearly means I have been using the wrong pit file.
Can anyone support me out of this hard brick ?

I tried connected to ODIN. I could do it.
Downloaded Stock firmware and flashed it.
Alas ! No chance of life.
a) can anyone give me PIT file for Indian version 32GB.
I tried using N920G UUB and ZTO pit file.
Now I have problems flashing system.img which clearly means I have been using the wrong pit file.
Can anyone support me out of this hard brick ?

Don't worry about flashing stock just re flash your twrp recovery and then go from there.

No recovery ; No download mode.
Can connect to ODIN on a blank screen. Very hard brick !
With TWRP --> Black Screen with recovery enabled. No touch or whatsoever due to blank screen.
Need the pit file for Indian N920G Marshmallow ROM.

What does 'No recovery; no download mode' even mean? Pit file doesn't fix the bricked phone but correct the pit(csc) mapping. Do you exactly know how to get into download mode though? If your display has been damaged, it still can get into download mode by the correct button combination.

Hi , The problem is the display is garbled and the LED was showing various colors.
I tried recovery button combination to force into recovery. It didnt work.
I tried download mode (No download symbol)
But got a attachment to ODIN (COM 1: Blue)
I assumed that the bootloader is corrupt and loaded entire firmware through ODIN.
Everything was OK. But no display yet.
I tried starting using power button (Nothing on display)
Now I try PIT file.... System.img failed flashing.
Tried loading TWRP recovery; adb found 2 devices a) Device b) Recovery
Tried using Heimdall.
Now ODIN fails after using pit file once which failed.
Mine gets detected in ODIN and that is all the life it has.

If you used an incorrect PIT file when you really didn't need to then you probably corrupted your entire partition table..

Yeah I understood that.
Now I need the correct pit file for my ROM to repartition it.
Should I repartition through dd tool only ?
Anyhow since my patience went away, I threw it down a service center.
Service center called me up and said display is back, but couldnt restore my note.
Calls for mother board change ! So I got it thrown back to me !!
It seems now my display is back , can anyone help me in getting my note repartitioned ?
