Can anyone help me? i have no idea on where to being with, got this phone like this.
When i connect it in the PC, i got the qualcomm driver thing instead of the samsung one, also the phone wont boot into recovery or download mode.
I think this means it's a hard brick and happens due to being wrong flashed.
Anyone knows a way i could fix it?
Im sorry to annoy but any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Unfortunatelly I started playing with my I9000 without reading enough and bricked my phone completely (?). If anyone can help please do so.
Description:
1. I tried to flash with Odin new firmware but after flasing and rebooting got message "unable to update media ...." (or something like that) When powering on I got only welcoem screen with phone name
2. I wanted to repeat flashing but Odin could not start reflashing (I still could go into Download mode)
3. I found at xda forum [STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader,
but I didn't notice that it was for Captivate (I thought it is just another name for I9000,now I don't know why)
4. I reflashed my i9000 and after reflashing got only At&t screen turning on and off, without possibility to enter into download mode.
Actually I'm stuck with this situation I feel really stupid, but by mistake I did what I did.
Is there any chance to help ?
Thanx in advance.
according to some users, you might get lucky, and might be able to recover
let your phone stay on on that loop, wait until it turns itself off
then try the 3 button combo again
if all else fail, contact samsung tech support, which will simply send you back to your cell phone place
I'll try but I'm not very optimistic
Waiting doesn't help - I tiried all possible 3 or 2 button configurations unsuccesfully.
Anyone has any other idea if antyhing can be done with the issue ?
The exact same thing happened to me. There is nothing you can do except to bring it back to Samsung. I brought mine back and they have to replace the whole motherboard
what did you tell them? is it going to cost you?

I told them my phone cannot boot. Can they help to reflash the FW and see if it helps. They did and said phone still cannot boot after reflashing. Hence they have to change the motherboard. I asked and they say it's under warranty...
The shop where I had bought my I9000 sent it to Samsung - I will see what they do with it.
I have flashed a vibrant with a i9000S software but the radio did not work quite well. Since the two have different keys, now i cant get it to boot mode. i was able to get into recovery mode via ADB but all i can do is use vol to go up or down and not select an option. the device wont even get out of recovery mode.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Same
I did the exact same thing and couldnt get it to go past the AT&T logo i took mine to the samsung authorised repair centre and after 3 days and 49 dollars they fixed it. I dont know how they did it because i couldnt get USB to reconginise or download mode or anything just stuck on white screen but they managed to get it up and running.
So even though it cost 49 dollars to fix it via software method it is better then spending 800 on a new phone or 300 for a new chip which they originaly qouted me. So there is hope with proffessional services
now, the magic usb plug is avaliable in ebay, it can turn your bricked phone into download mode in a few seconds. really good!!!
Hehe... ...the magic is one usb connector an 301 kohm resistor

Hey Everyone..
Ive always been able to get into both download and recovery mode...but when I was going to apply a ROM to my phone i checked it and now i cant access either of them....
I havent flashed a new firmware or used ROMS or anything yet....it seems like it just stopped working?
Have i done anything to disable it or something????
Should i just do the FIX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201) to get it back working or is there something else i can do...
I have Froyo 2.2
Baseband-HVJP3
Build-FROYO.HVJP4
Thanks
i would suggest you do the fix, but be patient and read properly, cause one little mistake will brick your phone, and you wont be able to get into download mode to fix it.
i have no idea why your problem has arisen, thats very strange.
perhaps you should invest in a USB JIG as well. a very life saving tool
ahh k then.....
Maybe i should try wiping and reseting my galaxy s ?.. maybe ive installed something that blocks it?
Anyways thanks for your help
my phone was stuck on the att world phone screen then i finally got it into the downloading mode. its been in downloading mode for about an hour now, does anyone know how long this should take or what else im suppose to do? im clueless about phones! please help! thank you nicole!
Read the stickies and get to know how these phones work. What's download mode, Odin, Heimdall, recovery (CWM, 2e, 3e), difference between boot loaders, etc. Lots you need to know about risk and procedure. I can't link as I don't have access to a computer.

nicole,
first what are you trying to do? as the below poster said you better read and understand the difference between various modes. understand what you are trying to achieve. the flashing is very serious task and to be taken seriously. there are risks involved and you better understand all. i have been reading for months before i did my first flash. after that it gets easy.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953930 Check out that link. If you can get into download and recovery then a computer should recognize it in some form. Whether it sees it as the cappy it is or some unknown device it should still see it. However if it doesn't see anything at all you have a bad connection somewhere.
