need help xda...
I was flashing to stock 2.2 using odin one click.
My phone will NOT
turn on
boot to recovery
or boot to download screen.
I have currently sent it to samsung to get it fixed, and it is under warranty.
But i believe they will return it without a repair because ive heard this voids the warranty.
Help? any suggestions
well I guess you just wait and see...

You should (have told?)tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and the power went out, crashing your desktop PC. This will not void your warranty.
yeah.. i did i told them i was doing an ota update and the power went out. hopefully it works out.
you cannot brick a galaxy s phone..... you should have done some research on this forum... i just now got thru making a jig and forced my phone into download mode , ou could have easily done the same.... i also had a failed flash with odin on my captivate
I think, Samsung will repair it or will give you a replacement (refurbished)...if not than..
If it is from ATT then tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and followed instructions on the ATT website...but some how it was dead in between....as you have warranty on it for one year
They will replace (will give u refurb phone) it..I got two replacements lol
Refurb phone are better then dead paper weight...so try your luck

you are wrong, it can be bricked. I was doing Odin and my battery went dead (a very stupid mistake done by me)..There is no hope if the phone is completely not responsive....not even Jig will work...
well, i wanted to see if samsung would fix it first, and if they do for free its something i wont have to worry about...
I am posting here as a way to ensure that in the off chance that they dont fix the phone that i have a back up plan...
plan c is to get the nexus one. lol
Ok! I bought a Samsung P1000N Galaxy Tab from ClaroPR this week. Like always with every android devices i have i rooted it with superoneclick. Yesterday i was trying to update the tablet to gingerbread since it had Froyo. Follow the tutorials in here to flash it(I guess i didnt read the warnings about the secure bootloaders or something like that) but the thing is that i ended up softbricking my device. The gingerbread i was trying to flash was the JQ1. Anyways, i tried to flash it using Odin 1.7, it ended up failing and now i just have the cell triangle and computer logo of dead on the screen. Thing is that i know its not supposed to be totally bricked. But then in the device manager it doesnt show as samsung composite device or anything like that. I need help from someone who has gone thru this already and knows what to do. Or is it just a brick and thats it? Thanks...

If you get anything on the screen at all (Triangle, Download mode, Samsung logo, etc...) It's not bricked, just sponged. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the P1000N, but in general, try reloading the samsung drivers and try another USB port. Once you get it to show up in device mangler you can push the right tar with Odin and you'll be cooking with gas again. Sorry I can't help with this specific model, but sammy devices in general are hard to truly "brick"
Okay i think now its dead. It turned off when it lost the charge and now not even Heimdall recognize it. So if someone knows about a good tutorial on Jtaging this i will appreciate.
Edit: Found useful guide in here to resurrect it so i will give that a try...
The Unbrickable Mod works like a champ! I know, because I had to resort to this over this last weekend.
However, it does require mods to the mainboard that require some skill. Once accomplished, it is virtually impossible to brick your Tab.

Why you want to go for Jtag just becoz battery is dead. Get the Tab Opened, Recharge the battery externally (Repair/Service Center should help). Follow the Team Overcome Guide to install the Stock Safe Rom and then you can either continue with it or move to any other ROM of your choice.
I would keep JTAG as the Last option.
If it's new Tab, it should still be under warranty.
wow, impressive post (the unbrickable mod).. Not sure I'd have the guts to do that though..
Android user for 1 year, i soft bricked my phone sereval time when I wasn't really experimented. I hard-bricked my phone once and it didn't charge or enter the Download Mode and it didn't charge. I don't even know how that happened even today, i think i flashed a wrong ROM with odin. I took it to my carrier shop and they replaced it for free since I didn't tell them i ever flashed it or something. The paper that they gave me said that the Motherboard was broken.
Now.. How could that happen? How can i avoid that? I am currently on a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 7).
search for "warning thread galaxy mini"
Help! I installed the wrong custom rom on my phone, I installed the s5830i icedroid rom on my s5830, curiously thinking it might go into a boot loop at worst but I was horribly wrong. As soon as I pressed reboot now on cwm my phone blacked out and never lighted on again. I can get it in download mode, it shows in Odin but it gets stuck in setup connection. Is there a software or something to revive the phone, I can't hand it in to samsung cause I purchased it off ebay and they want a receipt which the original owner doesn't have, or should I try a jig. What do you think guys? This phone is nearly brand new and don't want it going to waste.

Hi guys, my friend's S3 mini is completely dead without reason (i think the famous sudden death),it was on cm 11 and i can't restore to stock firmware or nothing, because it don't turn on in any way (recovery mode , download mode or others) no charging, no connect to my pc, any led.
I think is a samsung factory defect. (motherboard or other)
In your opinion, it's possible take it to samsung for warranty repair? (hoping that Samsung, with the phone dead, not see my custom rom)
Thanks for the replies and sorry for the bad english
Your friend has nothing to lose, I think. He can try to play "dumb customer", e.g. "I dont know what happened".
