Hello, i flashed a kernel on my device and after rebooting i got the samsung logo and the phone just turns off, the power button wont turn on the device, when i remove the battery and re insert it, i get the samsung logo for a second and it shuts off again, if i re insert the battery holding vol - and menu it shows download mode for a moment and shuts off again, i cant enter download mode and my battery was at 80%. I have no idea what to do, i cant connect my phone via usb to flash with odin. Does any one have any idea on what can be done? um close to throwing my phone in to the wall.

Hello,
did the same but get an solution for you.
You need Odin and a Firmware. Instal Odin and flash the Firmware (you have to look here wich Firmware you need).
It cost some minutes (some long minutes) and after this odin would reboot youre phone.
After this youre phone have to be ok.
Sorry for my bad english but you know lothar matthäus
hope it works

I decided to upgrade to Cog2.2beta5 from Cog2.1.4 today using ROM Manager. Everything seemed to go well but after install and reboot all I got was a black screen and subsequent reboots landed me at the same result.
So I thought restoring back to stock with Odin One Click from this forum, the one with all the ROM files built right in, was the best next step. I downloaded Odin and followed the instruction to the T and it got stuck at the PIT step. After a few attempts at it now my phone won't even power on. I've let it sit without a battery in for several minutes and even charged it on a wall charger for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. Still won't power on or respond at all.
I'm fairly new to all of this... Any ideas on what would cause a total melt down of the phone to the point of not even powering on? It has been flawless for me since launch.
Didi you download the drivers? also did you unplug the phone while doing the flash>/
pull battery sim and sd if you have one
Wait a minutes or so
plug in USB
hold vol up and down
put in battery
If the phone does not immediately go to download mode, you have a fancy paper weight that doesn't even weigh that much.

I did download the drivers and from everything I could see, my system and Odin recognized the phone without issue.
I had to unplug it during the process because the process froze in the same spot for well over an hour. I didn't see any other choice.

Guess it's a paper weight then because the phone won't power up at all let alone go into download mode.
Thanks for your time guys.
sounds like you might have done exactly what i did with my first captivate and yes it IS bricked! i know you will read "its impossible" to do that but i "thought" i followed the correct steps and flashed only a pit file. what it does is repartition your file system but apparently nothing is added after that...
not sure what steps you took on odin but it sounds like you got the same error i did and then the same issue so im going to assume the same thing has happened here...sorry matey

I had mine hosed for a while and this is what I did to get it back.
When it is unplugged and everything is out of the phone (sd, sim, batt) , hold the power button down for 10 sec, then release.
Put in battery, hold vol up + vol dwn, Plug into different usb port, Plug into phone.
That should get you into download mode
Mine did this too and the steps mentioned fixed it for me

I too accidently only wrote the pit file and it wouldn't do anything at all just blank screen . Make sure you remove everything open Odin one click, plug in your phone with the USB cable, hold down volume up and down and plug in battery it should start in download mode. It does work.

What did you try to flash with Odin? (with version, variant #, with/without bootloaders)
What was the Odin log?
nothing, no roms yet. i was in the first part of the instruction. this is what i follow
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
6. Be Patient, the first boot will take a while
where can i find the odin logs?
Guys i tried to flash [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 experimental builds then i found out it is not stable yet so i decided to flash back to Malaysia ICS 4.0.3 thru Odin. After i flash the rom thru Odin , my phone keep restarting . After that i decided to unplug the battery and switch on again . I cannot start my phone after i unplug and plug in the battery again. I cannot go into download mode and recovery mode but i still can charge my phone with charger. Is my phone hard bricked? Can anyone save my phone from bricked ? Please give me some solution T.T
its impossible to hard brick the phone with software unless u flash some other phones boot loader on it , leave it on charging for an hour after that pull the battery out and try again , i remember having that prob try to get into recovery hold down both volume up, volume down, and power button and don't let go until recovery comes up after charging
Hard brick means u cant do anything. The fact that your phone is charging shows its not hard bricked. You cant do much though. Charge it and flip out and in your battery and try to go into download mode. If by chance u get into download mode, quickly roll back to an offial 4.0 or even 2.3.6 fr the time being.

does your phone opens with a black screen when you push the power button or with a half brick screen like a phone and a computer image on the screen?
I would suggest that you take the battery out, plug it in after a while (5-10 mins) and turn on the power while quickly holding the Vol up+Home keys into the download mode. Then flash your ICS 4.03 via Odin and see if it works
you need buy or make yourself an USB JIG , then you can put the phone in download mode and reflash the stock firmware, i recommend reflash the 2.3.6 rom and next update via kies ...
Ya . thanks guys, it is not a hard brick . Is my handset got problem. I solved the problem already
It is writtrn there already did you get a black screen
After the boot that means you have not selected the resurection version.

Hi,
I was walking down the street and when I looked at my phone, the screen was black. I thought it can't be the battery since it was just charged.
I went home, plugged it to the power supply and I got the following loop:
1. Empty Battery logo
2. Black screen
3. Back to 1
So I thought I let it plugged to the power supply and try to
enter the recovery mode, but it was unaccessible
turn on my phone, but it won't even show to the SGS logo
So I plugged the phone to my computer, went to download mode and I tried 2 different stock rom with ODIN v4.43, it didn't change a thing.
Again, plugged to the computer, went to download mode and sent a RCWM 6.0.1.2 via ODIN v4.43......... it didn't change a thing.
I don't know what to do anymore... Any solutions I could try?
Regards,
Moulay.

I have the same problem. I've just flashed the Stock ROM after doing full wipes but my phone simply does not boot in any mode. I tried removing the battery, connecting to power, but it simply does not do anything, no boot, no logo, no battery logo... please HELP!
There are 2 possibilities:
1) For some reason, your bootloader got broken. That means hard brick.
2) I heard that there are Odin versions that work the best with every device. Odin v4.43 isn't one of them.

Flashed it million time
Hi,
I flashed it using this method over and over again (7 times or so) and then, it worked for some reason. Don't know for how long though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505
Once I got in, I wipped all the data 4 times in a row and flashed it again just to be sure.
Hope it will work for you as well.
One of my friends was trying to update ROM, but misguided and tried to flash i9100 rom to N7000.
Now the phone is bricked and can not boot even download mode, just black screen.
Is there any way to bring it back?
UPDATE:
I have tried to boot into download mode with black screen, just hold Vol-, Home, Power and wait for 10s, then press Vol+, and connect to laptop (sumsang kies installed), but odin cannot find the connection.
The phone gets hot when connected with cable, so I think the battery can still be charged.
