Possible bricked device - Galaxy S I9000 General

Im unsure as to whether my Galaxy S is completely bricked.
My Galaxy S is stuck on a screen displaying - Phone ! Computer
I can't access download mode by the 3-button combo or by the USB jig.
Is there any way I can either boot the phone or get to download mode so i can flash with odin.
PS - I got to this stage by accidentally unplugging the device when flashing firmware in odin.

probably the answer is no im afraid if 3 combo AND USB jig isn't working...

Take the battery out for 10-15 min then place the battery and try Download Mode or the USB-JIG and see if get's to Download Mode.

Find someone with a riff box ... if your in the uk inbox me

A friend of mine had a similar problem but the phone didn't show anything on the screen, I told him to do the button combo for donwload mode hold them for 10sec and connect it to the pc with odin open and it just work btw the screen wasn't showing download but it was, give it a try who knows

And btw I am in the UK, although I have no idea what a riff box is lol

A riff box is a box that fixes dead phones try asking your towns unlocking shop if thay have one if not inbox me and I'll run though the best way of getting your phone fixed

I used to love your ROMs for my old Touch HD.. good to see you now have a Galaxy S!
Not so sure from your posts above what method you have tried. When are you trying to connect Odin? You need to be in Download Mode first, fire up Odin, then connect your phone...
Is this what you are doing?
Also, which version of Odin you using? In Win7 you may need to right click and run as administrator?
The best way is to look on the odin how to here in forum

Brother, use Odin3 v1.7 from my signature & see if it detects? A lot of guys have recovered their phones using 1.7. trust me.
pull the battery
wait a few seconds
put the battery back in
hold vol-down + power + home
You should get into download mode
connect the phone physically to the pc
flash a ROM or a kernel or whatever you desire
I wish you good luck^^
Close any kies process running in background and try again

uhhmmmm is it now bricked?
now it doesnt do a thing anymore
when i press buttons for downloadmode nothing happens
when i only press the power button nothing happens
its completley dead now:S
is there anything i can do to force a start to anything
maybe with a software setup on the sd card?
or a script
most devices have a code wich will hot restart the phone to bootloader
read something about a jig you guys think it will work
gonna buy the stuff to make one tomorow
hope it works

The jig most likely wont work if the phone is completely dead, you could try a hairdryer it seems to work sometimes. Otherwise its back to samsung.

can you link me to a page with the hairdryertrick?

Maybe you've tried this already but I've had this problem after a bad flash and the phone wouldn't boot up anymore. I just remove the battery and all good again.

Dead Phone (Bricked)..Any ideas?

Hi all,
My GT540 got bricked while flashing a V20B Rom. Now its not starting at all. No power+anything, no battery-in battery-out trials work.
Any ideas before I take it to the LG repair center because my LG repair center is in another country (lool) ??
Try to boot your phone into Emergency/Download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER). If the phone booted into Emergency/Download mode, launch KDZ Updater.
In TYPE dropdown menu, choose EMERGENCY
Make sure you use the USB on back of PC if using desktop. Another thing to try is take the battery out before plugging in USB should download drivers maybe not much help but one step closer to working phone.
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
Thank you guyd for the suggestions. I am so much beyond this stage now. The phone is not turning on in any mode. Nothing at all.
Taking it to the LG service center is a real trip to another country now.
Plug phone into computer without battery In what dose it do? you should get animation of phone with back cover sliding up? Leave it for ten minutes make sure your internet is connected,then put battery back in make sure it's got at least 70percent charge, then connect phone to computer and put into download mode power and press volume down....
The rest is all listed above.hope it helps.

Unfortunetely, the only way to fix your phone is to give it back to LG Service, they will provide you with new one if you have waranty, it happened to me once when i was flashing my phone and my pc restarted :S
You have killed the bootloader, you could fix it by youserlf of find a programmer with special device to flash a bootloader back into the phone :s
Charge your battery and try all again kdz is your best bet if no fastboot screen !!!good luck!!!

The point is You cant charge your phone, you cant turn it on, you cant boot into fastboot/download or any other mode, PC dont detect your phone. PHONE IS LIKE A BRICK, dont react to anything... This happened to me once, the only option for him is to give the phone to LG Service. They will replace it, he accidently killed the bootloader like i told in a post before.
@deamonjones Nothing happens when I plug it to the pc or the chrager. With or without the battery.
It requires a JTAG device to re-write the bootloader.
For future refernce - GT540 JTAG info :
http://www.omnia-repair.com/forum/topic/lg-gt540-request-to-unbrickrepair-dead-boot
This is a much more clearer way to do it. And the device is not so expensive. But I really don't have the time to do it as it requires too much timeand accuracy.

Remove battery for few seconds n then put it back, try to enter recovery, if access recovery thn wipe cache n data
Try download mode, n reflash stock rom with pc

@dr.ketan hi thanks for the reply m8
i used this method
Here is the files that should be selected on odin :
PIT : Q1_20110919_32GB.pit
PDA : N7000_CODE_N7000XXLP1_CL88317_REV02_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
PHONE : MODEM_N7000XXLP1_REV_05_CL1098475.tar.md5
CSC : GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALP1.tar.md5
Press Start button then upgrading Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Ice Cream Sandwich ICS 4.0.3 N7000XXLP1 process will be started
Wait until finish and odin show PASS! but missed the Check Re-Partition option ???? like a fool and now my phone is bricked ?? it wont do anything my pc say recognised usb device thats all ??? i hope you can help me m8
Do you have a 32gb version of the Note?
If not you are using the wrong pit-file.
There is one to the 16gb version too, and just Google for it.
Skickat från min GT-N7000 via Tapatalk
yes m8 i used the 16gb version but missed the Check Re-Partition option on odin thats why its bricked m8 ?? is there anybody who repairs them in uk ??????
Define brick, is it completely dead?
No download mode?
Skickat från min GT-N7000 via Tapatalk
yes m8 no download mode just dead and pc says recognised usb device thats all ?? m8 duno if usb jig would work not shure if they sell them for note ????
I have heard about flashes gone wrong and after that the screen then doesn't work.
Try to remove the battery then insert it and try to enter download mode, vol down home and power then I belive you have to push vol up once to confirm to enter download mode.
Then look if odin recognises yor phone, if so try to flash it again.
This is a longshot but worth a try.
Skickat från min GT-N7000 via Tapatalk
yea flashed sgs2 ics on my note lol instead of the sgs2 no screen but sound worked had to blind download odin flash it was fun. maybe he can do the same thing just get it in download mode the button combo than hit up plug it in the usb and see if odin see's it.
thanks for all your help but i have tryed evrthing ? i think its back to samsung to sort it out fingered crossed

This Jig puts a dead Note into download mode , so you are able to flash again with odin.
Turn off your phone and pull out the battery
Put the battery back and don't turn it on
Plug the JIG into the micro USB port on the phone
After about 2 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.
Remove the JIG
Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via the program "odin"
This JIG should work for all Android Samsungs.
Its just US$ 1,60 and free shipping so worth a try.
If it doesn't work you should send it to Samsung.
Good luck and let us know about the progress.

Start calm.
All you need is a cool mind now.
Search for the USB JIGGS available on xda and see if someone from your area has it. You can then take help from that person. If not then just go to service center, tell them that it stuck like this while doing software update and act like you no nothing about rooting our flashing. That will do.

Yes, offcouse.
Just let them be unaware of you knowing about root/cwm etc. just act dumb. If they get to know your warranty is already void, they will charge you money for repairing it.
Follow what bruce says..
Tell them u got an update in kies nd this happened
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**
They said Board is damaged
They are saying board is damaged!
price to repair it is more than its second hand value in market
i took it from their and brought it home
i remember before giving them when i connect usb cable to it unknown device found is detected but now its not even showing that
i am developer guy so not a completely noob
i want to repair it not to replace its body parts

The last 'n' only hope left is this:-
Install ur phone specific driver on pc.
1. Take out battery, sim & sd card.
2. Open odin.exe on pc.
3. After this, connect the phone via USB cable to PC(yes! without battery,sim & sd card)
4. Press the download mode combo keys.
5. While keep pressing all those keys, insert the battery now.
6. Now, odin should detect ur phone so that u may get it updated with stock firmware.
And if this also doesn't work, then bro u might have lost it at all

bud same thing happened to me. and unfortunatly there is no fix for this. everytime i turned my phone on i got the little android guy then it would stay on lg screen with blue and green LED. try download mode it goesto the first screen of little blue dots.
since warrenty should not be able to tell anything about root or etc. i sent it in. in the mean time i called my carrier company and they sent me out a new phone for 35$. but i have to send old one back wether it ges fixed or not.
sorry bud but there is no way back from that. even tho your computer gives it a port its not fully booting so you cant flash anything..... here is one last thing you can try................ this could be your only hope.......it didnt help me but it might work for you...

thank you so much sir for replying, what is really wierd is that when i connect it to my pc, kingo root detects it, and gives me the option to root, then the rootin process stops at fetching scripts.
I cannot read.

Altho i did suggest that ubuntu method just incase it does work for you. Exhaust all options before giving it up for repair or warrenty exchange good luck and i hope you are more secessful then i was. Altho rogers did send me out a new phone good luck
thank you guys , my phone when on lg logo, and connected to pc, i can see it in device manager under modem as LGE android net usb modem,
and under ports as LGE android serial port com 8, any chance or sign of live to my phone, as mentionned before, there is no waranty services in our country.
