HELP with a black screen BRICK with 6 lines of red text

I think that i corrupted my Captivate as I was ODIN one clicking myself out of a ROM that i didn't like and lost connectivity via USB. Not looking too good now.. the screen is black with 6 lines of numeric text in red.
Windows is not handshaking with the hardware and nothing is registering on the captivate either.
Been poking around doing some reading on how to fix but I cant get it past the brain barrier enough to understand how I can fix anything that doesn't even recognize one another in a pair.
Baby steps asking for help on this one.
Y!S

TEXT READS:
RST_STAT =ox1
PWIC_IRQ1 =0x3c
PWIC_IAQ2 =0x0
with the last two lines reading this:
PWIC_STATUS1 =0xc0
PWIC_STATUS2 =0x2c

The device was disconnected when the little yellow man with a shovel warned me "DO NOT DISCONNECT"

I have fresh installed Odin. Removed my SIM and Battery. I start Odin then while holding just the volume rocker I plug my Captivate into the computer.
The phone is not powering on nor is it showing the 6 elusive lines of code.. Will try again in 20 min.
Am I missing anyhting?

ok i unplugged it once from odin, and this is what i used, unplug phone, take out battery sd card sim, and wait 10 sec. open odin, connect phone via usb, press volume up/down and power, insert battery and let go of the power button ONLY!! hold the volume up and down still. you should now be in download mode. if this doesnt work there should be another way. ill try to find it again.

Okay I amazingly enough took the battery and sim out. plugged into my comp while holding JUST the volume rocker down then slipped the battery into the cap and it got me to the DOWNLOADING screen..(that i havnt seen for over 24 hours!)
NOW the problem is that ODIN3 1 click downloader (that has been pre programed does NOT give me a yellow Com port BUT.
The full ODIN3 program does.
I need help with finding the files that I should be pointing all of the blank perameters into.
if anyone can help me with FLASHING my Captivate with the FGULL ODIN3 program for Captivate I would be ever grateful!!!!!
please take a minute to help and you could be part of HISTORY!! a fully bricked captivate comes back alive!!
thanks in advance!

After update Galaxy S wont turn on

hi
after update my galaxy s is not turning on anymore. Odin finished the whole update now it wont turn on at all.
Any way to safe the phone ?
Is it bricked ?

If you are able to go into download mode, you are safe. Which region are you from and what FW did you flash?

iam from canada i9000M and i flashed jh2
its not turning on at all. I simply dont understand. first mount issue. then phone - attention - computer issue. bought the jig adapter from ebay. the phone went into download mode. installed the root kernel and then jh2. Everything successfull and now the phone simply wont turn on.
This phone is just garbage nothings works like it should.

pull the battery out for 5 mins then put back in and hook up to the charger. The phone should start up again by keeping the power button pressed in for at least 30 seconds to a minute. It happened to me a few weeks ago when I was flashing my mates phone.

nope all dead.
Called samsung that the phone is not turning on at all. Spoke with supervisor they agreed to fix the phone
UPS is gonna pick up the phone today. Damm gonna be without phone for 2-3 weeks. Have to use Motorola Pebl

I have the same problem after update on Odin. The phone is completely dead, download doesnt boot. Does anyone know how to fix it, or the only way is to send to samsung ?

Stuck at "Phone ! Computer" screen, cant get to recovery/download mode

So yesterday my Kies said there was a new firmware for my SGS, and after backing up my data with kies, i started updating it. The update got stuck at 71% for 2 hours, so i decided to disconnect the cable and recover the phone afterwards. But i cant get to connection mode or download mode, I've read lots of threads in this forum, tried many combinations, tried to release power when the icon disappears, but nothing... The image with the phone, triangle and computer appears all the time, and i haven't seen anything other than this.
Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone when connected since i tried to update the firmware.. I have also tried with Odin, but i got the same result.
So, anyone can help me? I won this phone in a christmas contest, and they haven't delivery the warranty yet, so im kinda stuck.
thanks for your time reading this.

You could try this:

Read the sticky topic about JIG/JTAG.

Hum, i was trying to avoid that method, but i guess i will give it a try later. First i will try to get my warranty.

The same thing happened to me a month or so ago, I managed to get it in to download mode by removing the battery, putting it back in and being very quick with my fingers to get it in to download then flashed with odin.

You backed up your data did you back up your original rom by any chance ??

Remove your battery for 10 min. then try again if u hadn't solved 3 button combination before

I don't think so.. :/

As Samsung broke the phone i would take it to a Samsung service centre before getting involved in warranty breaking flashing .

very good point.
If you want to fix it yourself the mentioned battery pull will probably work.
(pull the battery out, wait a few seconds, put it back in, voldown-home-power and you should be in download)

I had a similar problem some time ago (Phone ! PC screen)... I disconnected the battery for half a day came home from uni and put the battery into the phone, while holding ALL (hard) buttons at the same time... then, download mode actually went through

Happened to me once too, just keep holding onto the buttons, it will eventually go to download mode.

I pressed the buttons for 5 minutes, but nothing, the "phone ! computer" icon disappears for 1 second, and appears again, over and over again

@Ricardo_1991
If you remove the battery for some time(10 min.) and you still can't access download-mode then Sbl on your device has been corrupted while kies did flash the ROM, take it to a samsung service center and get it fixed.

You probably have done this but ensure your usb cable is REMOVED until you get the download mode working.

Personally I'd use the jig. As soon as you have that jig built you can have your phopne working again (and updated) in less than 30mins. Who knows how long it will take the service centre to fix it.

I agree, but im from Portugal, and i dont have any nearby store where i can buy all the materials. What i can do is order the micro sim thing from amazon.co.uk, and the 301K resistor from somewhere else..
ps: the sellers of resistors in amazon wont send them to portugal, only the micro sim plug

please help dead phone

Doesn't power on at all, tried 3 botten /w battery in and out tried two w/battery in and out. I had this happen before and someone help me.
I think this is not the right place to to list this but Im not getting help in the general, please help I need my phone

seens a hard brick. what u did to get this?

Try taking out the battery, starting Odin on your computer, plugging the phone into the usb cable connected to the computer, and while holding both the up and down volume buttons stick the battery back in to get into download mode. From there you should be able to Odin back to stock.
If that doesn't work you're SOL. You'll have to do what was suggested in your thread in general.

If you truly are hard bricked you are gonna need to find a JIG because that's the only way out of that. Other wise take your battery out god down the volume keys and put it back in and you should see the download screen. If you don't somthong deeper is wrong.

You need to purchase a (JIG) like the previous member suggested and try getting in download mode, you can buy one on eBay for about $3 simply search for (Download Mode USB Jig for Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant). I hope this helps.

have odin up pull out your battery plug usb into phone then hold power and volume down and insert battery at the same time this should get you into download mode. It may take 3 or 4 tries to get it. you have to pull battery before plugging mini usb into phone and must do the button combo and while inserting battery it would be easier being an octopus to do this but it should work if it doesnt you will need a jig. It is very hard to fully hard brick vibrants keep trying this method it took me 5 times to get into download. search the vibrant forums for odin for noobs it will give you links to all files you will need to get back to stock and start over. pm me if you need further assistance.

thank you, still trying but no luck. Im going in for surgery for my cancer so wont have much time on the phone for a wile

It's Hard Brick. Dont waste your money on JIG, it does nothing. You have to JTAG to recover Bootloader on your phone

I too have the same problem since this morning. I have Tmobile Samsung Galaxt 4G SGT959V and after rooting and downloading kernel files, it was only going to the T Mobile logo. Last night I was bale to get into the download mode and then I started downloading Gingerbread. Now my phone is not powering up. I called up samsung and as it under warranty, they are ready to fix. My problem is they will find out what I was doing and this might breach some samsung regulation. not sure???
I would like to know what should I do for getting my phone power on or in download mode. I have tried all the above mentioned steps, but it just not works. Duh!!
Please someone help!!

different phone, none of this applies to your phone

Well, I was able to get into download mode last night by running odin, pulling battery and connect to usb. Then holding volume button inserted the battery and my ohone was in download mode. But now its not powering on.
any suggestion how to get into download mode??

[Q] S4 Broken Screen - ADB Not Working - Cannot Activate Debugging

Been trying for hours now to try and sort out an issue I am having. My S4 is damaged, the phone works but the screen and digitizer is broken. I want to check a few sms messages, access and control the phone from my PC and basically make a complete clone/image of my phone. I cannot for the life of my figure out how to do this.
I use windows 7, I have installed SDK tools, have ADB/fastbook etc. Device isn't found with ADB. Spent hours reading information about installing correct drivers, which I have done. No luck what so ever. The phone is not rooted, developers tools is not on, usb debugging is not on either.
I am starting to think this is a lost battle as I cannot sort this out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Bump.
Anyone? Is there no way to solve this problem? Tearing my hair out.

Best bet (given ADB doesn't work) would be to root the phone & get a custom recovery on (via Odin; this is might be very difficult if you can't somehow have the phone & PC recognise each other - you don't need to have had debugging on though) then do a nandroid backup (someone using the same recovery/version might be able to walk you through the button presses.
What S4 variant (model number) are we talking about ?

GT-I9505 is the model number that is displayed behind the battery. The screen is broke and so is the touchscreen (completely black). I tried to figure out via ODIN but that wouldn't recognise the phone either. I assumed you'd need to boot in recovery/download mode but because I cannot see anything on screen, when I do the volume down, home and power thing I do not know what to do next so the phone boots up normally. I know this because I have unread SMS and when phone loads my SMS tone goes off.
Really not sure how to get around this.

You're going to have to get it into DL mode somehow (don't need to use home button on S4, just vol down/power); try a jig. Once you've done that, then you need to get the phone & PC to recognise each other. If you're having problems with that, prepare to continue to do a lot more reading/trying stuff if you're having PC-side driver issues (there's a lot of threads on here re: the issue). There's also an 'Odin troubleshooting' guide in S2 General by Hopper8 which is worth looking at as much of the stuff he suggests also holds true for the S4 (except the firmware stuff, which is obviously different).
There's not going to be any quick & easy in this instance, I'm afraid. It's going to be hard work.
Edit - Also..USB board/port on the phone might also be damaged, so when you reach the point of having tried everything on the PC-side & everything you can possibly try on the phone-side, replace the USB board/port on the phone. This is quick/easy/cheap (<US$20) to do & might just enable you to get things done where everything else has failed.
Extra edit - And...A jig working (getting you into DL mode) or not is probably a good test of whether the USB board/port on the phone is still good; I.E if the jig works, the board/port is probably still good, if it doesn't, the board/port might be shot as well.

The USB is fine because when I plug the phone in when in normal boot it recognises the data storage. I will try to boot in DL mode. Are there any gestures my S4 will do when booting in DL? Vibrations? As I cannot see anything on screen that will indicate it's worked. I think that once I can get the phone to work with ODIN/ADB I will be good to go as I am relatively tech savvy.

Nope. You're going to by flying blind so far as having no screen/no vibrations in DL mode goes. You're going to be relying on the jig working, and once you hook it up to the PC & fire up Odin, you'll know straight away whether you've got a successful connection up & running (as screenshots in the many Odin guides on here will show you).

I see, will just have to keep trying.
So on the S4 it's hold power and volume up, then wait? or do I need to press anything else afterwards? Or is it power and volume down?
Thanks

No luck with download mode. Girlfriend has a note 2, and her method is Vol down, home and power button. Screen comes up almost immediately with confirmation. Volume up needs to be pressed to confirm. Tried to replicate with S4, no avail.

No luck with starting S4 in download mode. I have followed video on youtube. Supposed to be Vol Down, Home and Power button. Wait till vibrate and warning screen, then press up. Because I cannot see the screen I cannot see the warning screen. But I Hold for 4 seconds, release just after vibrate and then press up, but phone seems to boot up in normal mode.

Ok, finally in download mode, now what? I know it works because it installed new drivers and device manager states a samsung modem. Need to try and clone and do what I need to do ASAP and taking to store tomorrow to exchange for new one.
Any last minute ideas?
Thanks
ODIN3 v1.85 shows a yellow box, this is good right? I downloaded CWM from http://galaxys4root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/
What do I need to do next, do not want to make this worse, I just need to enable usb debugging or at least be able to use adb, I am good to go from there

Only a few hours left? Surely someone knows what Flash I need to do to allow me adb access???

Right, go into recovery mode...adb now works.
What do I need to do to enable debugging?
Edit:
I can't get adb to work... error: closed
any ideas

If you cant get adb to work in recovery then youre out of luck.
Incase this happens with new phone, always have a remote access app like Cerberus installed. MightyText is a pretty nice app too.

I see, ok no worries. Thank you anyways
