I think I have a brick :(

Hey guys this may amuse some of you but hoping someone can help me out. I bought my SGS i9000 this morning about 4 hours ago and it was running Eclair. I tried flashign with Kies but wasn';t having much luck. Needed to try and get into download mode for Odin so decided to flash a key combo fix to get into Download mode because it wasn't working. Next thing I know Odin crashes and my phone boots to this screen

Probably have a brick but hoping someone can help me see light at the end of the tunnel!

I've had that screen before
I was on Gingerbread, but was able to use the three button combo (vol down + home + power) to get back into download mode.

Unfortunately the key combo never worked for me. That's what I was trying to fix

clarkey15 here is the solution for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310

I tried that but PC is not recognising phone

Do you have samsung usb drivers installed on your pc ?

Yes I installed them before trying to flash. The PC is not even making any sounds while connected

Try a different USB port.
That sometimes resolves the PC not finding the phone.

I was under the impression that the I9000 was practically unbrickable.. Hm, there you go I guess.

My reputation on other forums will suggest otherwise

Sorry for you guy.
I semi bricked my sgs so many times and flashed it with odin. But never seen your screen.
I read somewhere that with only usb plug modified you can go to download mode. But i don't remember how

Thanks everyone for your replies. I have just ordered a USB jig for the phone. Hope it will help my situation

Hope it'll work ^^

Firstly this is not a bricked phone - I've been there - a brick is dead, dodo - yours is semi-bricked (its recoverable without returning to Samsung)
remove battery and replace battery
plug in USB
hold vol-, home, power buttons - it might force download mode from where you can flash a new rom
this thread holds all you need to know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14957283&postcount=1
finally, a jig will work - I've had one since samsung f*cked the bootloaders up in their stock 2.2 eclair. Its the last resort but WILL work
best of luck, let me know if you have any luck with this advice

Thanks for the reply. I am glad to know that someone has been through this before and has fixed it with a Jig. Only down side is I have to go back to my Hero while waiting for my jig.

have you tried the link I gave you? have you tried option (a) to the letter? Where are you in S wales? I'm in Cardiff and I've got one

Good i found this thread, i've reflashed my phone like 50 times and done a lot of testing. Well first time i got that picture too but it was because my windows had gone wonky and odin did not find phone and i just removed battery and put it in again and the pic was there automaticly. The three button combo for download mode worked like a charm, was going to test it first but tought i better go and read before doing anything hasty

I've done most of those things. I've been at it for a while now. Only had the phone today too. I'm in Bridgend

ok....first follow that thread option (a) to the letter and it should work - if you got it from Carphone warehouse take it back - the one in Queen Street Cardiff fixed mine same day when I semi bricked mine in work and wasn't going home to sort out. as a bonus they flashed the latest FW - just play dumb - maybe try saying KIES offered you an upgrade which failed.
Finally when you get it sorted delete ALL drivers from your PC - your KIES problems are due to incompatibility of drivers following running Odin. Make sure that KIES is detecting your phone ok before letting Odin install its own drivers

After some serch i think it's bricked....only Jtag can fix it

Don't think its bricked. Try type "fastboot devices" in a command prompt in your fastboot folder. If it shows up under listed devices its not bricked. I've had this happen where just the file that makes the screen light up didn't get installed. Just have to reinstall the bootloader. No big deal.
Scratch that!
I'll buy it from you for $5

1)Already tryed that and the adb devices...no luck
2)Nothing is displayed on my n4 screen,absolutly black,but it's still on
3)my pc dose a sound when i connect/disconnect the phone
I found something
"Seems that while flashing that ROM you have managed to destroy parts of the Bootloader, wich finaly results in the device doing nothing. (Black Screen etc)
Partitialy you are right yes "QHS-USB Mode" means your device is hard bricked an in the so called QHS-USB Download Mode
but this mode is meant for vendors to flash bootloaders etc on the devices.
To access the device in a propper way u need some "non-public" tools wich QCOM usaly only supplies to vendors not to endusers!
Without thoose programs u will be not able to access the device in any way, even with thoose tools without the expierience and knowledge and files u need, i guess u will not be able to recover it yourself.
I do not want to risk some trouble with QCom at all so i do not can point u to the propper tools to use but i'm sure when using google u will be able to find out what tools i'm talking about.
In my mind the best way for you to recover that device is a JTAG
So my suggestion is to search for a JTAG in your region a JTAG in europe usaly is arround 30 euro but price can differ in your country"

So.....no luck till now,the phone is hardbricked.I'll send it monday to warranty,maybe they will fix it for free if not....then this is an excuse to buy N5

[Q] G2 won't boot after failed custom ROM flash (LG-D800)

So after trying to backup everything in recovery and flash PACMAN ROM for my phone, everything seemed fine, until it rebooted... When the LG logo appeared, suddenly weird horizontal lines started going across my screen and suddenly the edges of the phone started greying until the whole phone started going greyish-white, then powered off. I tried rebooting several times, and eventually it just wouldn't boot at all. If I hild the power button, it vibrates for a sec and nothing. When I plugged it into my PC, I can access it like a USB storage drive and my internal storage is still there, but I can figure out how to fix my phone. Did my screen die? Is there a way I can recover my phone from my PC via USB?

Back up your internal storage to your pc, more importantly the nandroid which is in the TWRP folder. Then follow this guide to get your phone back to stock.

I think that rom is kk u can find more info about that problem in liquidsmoth thread please tell me if fix it if not that mean how I know maybe u need to replace something in motherboard

Art is right. Follow the guide to get back to stock. If that doesn't work then it's a hardware problem.
Looks like I'm never trying the pacman rom on the g2...

Ok update. After following the steps in that guide posted, the firmware loaded and the AT&T boot screen popped up after reboot, though now LG Flash Tool is still doing it's thing and the screen's off with the phone still in USB and power light slowly blinking red, so I have no idea if it's fine or not.

Alright, it turns out it completed the installation and I just had to unplug it, it now works! I just want to know of which custom ROM to go with now.

Need to turn on Moto X Pure *without* power button (not rooted)

Hello all,
I'm in a jam here and hoping one of you can help me out.
The power button on my Moto X Pure Edition, which is not rooted, has stopped working completely. The battery died overnight and, obviously, the phone powered off. Now I can't turn it back on. I'd like to get it turned on or at least get my personal data off of it. Does anyone have any ideas?
I have figured out how to get it into AP Fastboot Flash Mode by holding down the Volume Up & Volume Down buttons simultaneously while plugging it into a power source. But, I cannot select "START" (or anything else) from Fastboot because my power button doesn't work.
Hoping I can figure out how to do this without taking apart the phone, which will void my warranty and probably won't result in me being able to fix it anyway.
Thanks so much for your help!

Do you have fastboot installed on your computer? If you do then issue the following command : fastboot reboot
Your phone will now start up.
If you don't, install it. You will have to research how to do it for your system. I'm on Arch Linux, so won't know how to help you, but there will be a google guide.

Hilarious. After an hour of fumbling around I figured out the USB port I had the phone plugged into was bad. Plugged it into one on the other side of the computer, recognized, rebooted, good to go.

Hi!
i think your phone board was damage in process, happened to me on a Alcatel Idol... The same thing. I think the phone was already a bit laggi, no?
.

Phone was not worked properly,thats what my mother in law said.
Its sometimes show just white screen after unlock,or camera wont switch on.
And battery draining fast.I thought firmware upgrade will fix it but its brick now(

Update:I have fixed the phone with dc phoenix software-Installed new board firmware and then stock rom and its all ok now.
