Wich ROM the did wou have? I think its missing boot loaders XXJVT , 2.3.4 minimum...
Flash Stock ROM, enter download mod and use odin to flash 2.3.4 with bootloaders, check samfirmware and download 2.3.4... then flash kernel Chainfire or Semaphore... then flash the ROM...
Cheers

it was stock t mobile rom
I have exactly same situation as this guy
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to/serious-problem-phone-not-turning-on/
I also have the USB JIG but the phone just wont turn on :/
what can i do at this point?
this guy somehow managed to get into download mode. Do i need to charge the phone or just leave the battery out for at least 10-15 minutes?

take the battery out 1 minute and then try with JIG, i think is missing bootloaders 2.3.4 , then flash stock 2.3.4 with bootloaders, then ROM Custom...

I know it is in the i9000 Developer's forum - BUT is this ROM meant for an SGS i9000 ???
All I can see everywhere in the thread you referenced is SGS II ROM ????
EDIT: Never mind - seems from the OP's signature on that thread he is running the previous version of the ROM on an i9000
GALAXY S I9000
MTechnology
EXTRAordinary 4.0 SGSII (JVS)

Thank you in advance.

I'd go for a custom rom jpy based like docs or darkys and install through clockwork or you can go to samfirmware to download jpy and use odin to flash it up to you or just do as above and use patcher but jpy is definetly worth it.
The first time i tried the kies patch utility i got a messags saying there were more than 1 phone folders which threw me a bit, but managed to sort it in the end.
So now on ....
2.2.1

2.6.32.9

Hi Kayno
Set the "Enable Spoof" to True
Set "Spoof product code as" to XEU from the list
Then click on the Write Regstry button in the bottom right
Thats all you have to do, then voila when you start kies and connect your phone you should have a popup saying a firmware upgrade is available.
Good luck

Also did you save the Rom through Kies. Was a bit confused when i read this part on the Kies Registry patcher thread.
By the way hows your experience with the new firmware been so far. Is 3G and WIFI working correctly. Have you tried the app market. Hows the overall speed of the phone and is gps working better now.
Sorry for all these questions but i just wanted to determine whether the risk of updating is worth it.
cheers
Thanks

No, i didnt save the Rom, 3g and Wifi are working fine but you will lose the My3 app because you will be basicly debranding your fone(if you are on contract), but if you start the default browser it takes you direct to My3 .
Havnt tried GPS , dont use it tbh.
The speed of the phone is so much smoother imo, im so glad i upgraded.
Hope that helps

Jaytwo,
My installation failed. Did you manage to flash it on the first go. I did exactly as you said. The thing is it finishes downloading in about 15 mins then fails installation. I also had the multiple folder detected problem. I clicked on ok on the registry patcher to delete the folder and re-started keys with the sgs connected.
The phone disconnects and after about couple of minutes is says Failed to convert to upgrade mode. Please try later.
Does anyone else know how to fix this? Am i doing anything wrong
thanking you in advance
Yes it flashed first time for me.
When the phone disconnected did you do anything?
I noticed when i flashed that the phone disconnected but i didnt touch anything and left it to carry on, it took a while but all went well in the end.
Try flashing again, just to check do you have the 3 button recovery option on your phone?

Hi Jaytwo,
I have not touched the phone when it disconnected as i remember from a previous upgrade to Froyo from Eclaire when it disconnected and then reconnected before completing the upgrade.
I have the 3 button recovery i checked it. The wierd thing is the phone did not reboot to downloading mode where the yellow android digging man picture appears. The phone stays as it is. I wonder whether samsung changed anything recently.
kingconnought, on the main registry patcher thread also mentioned he is experiencing the same problem.
Can anyone else help.
Thanks again
I dont understand why your phone will not go into download mode as that is part of the flashing process.
Try doing a factory reset through settings on your phone, then try flashing again, apart from that im not sure what else you can do apart from flashing thru odin?

I will try factory restting. See if is works although i will have to go throught the pain of reinstalling all apps again.
By the way did you lose all your apps and data after the upgrade?

LOL... This will be my 5th time.
By the way i thought il tell you this. If you ever want to for God knows whatever reason re-brand your phone to 3 then select the H3G product code and it should Flash your phone to the latest 3 branded Froyo which is JP5.
If i have to resort to Odin then i might as well wait for 3 to update their version to 2.2.1 as im too scared to Flash via Odin as there is too many risks associated with it. Or who knows Samsung may decide to release another version which might work.
Thanks
I got a quick question about this subject. Ik have no experience without android firmware flashing. Do ik need to backup stuff like imei number? For when the **** hits the fan. And if so how do ik do that?

Thanks for all your help mate. I apreciate it

Tried to flash this new firmware and bricked the phone:-(
Cant power on the phone .....dead! :-( Any ideas?
Try charging it for a while, then forcing it into download mode and connecting odin and flashing your original firmware back on. Or use a jig to force it into DL mode if that doesn't work, they're only a few quid on ebay.
Any new radio or kernel?

This is for the i9100G as it says in the title. If you flashed it on your i9100 I'm pretty sure you are screwed.

Not sure, but it's worth a try.
Yes, I knew this would happen when I saw the thread open up today. The OP should edit the title for noobs so they won't flash this and brick their phone.
This is NOT a ROM for the International or non-G version, and it WILL brick your device. You'll need the service center (or jtag) to get it back if you flash this.
It wont you have briccked your phone, You will need to flash a new Kernal 1st, and even the Jig wont be able to read, as the drivers wont load. this needs deleteing before anyone else does the same thing, Guys!

I rooted my phone recently, I tried to install CWM, then flashed another kernel as i was instructed to, now, Im stuck on the boot screen and cant get anywhere, i can although get into the downloading part of the phone, Ive been trying to locate the original stock kernel with no success.

U DUN GOOFED. Jig won't help, you need JTAG servicing or take it to a Samsung service center.

I think I briked the Galaxy tab 2

I was trying to root the device so i can get it updated from 2.2
I used Odin and tried recovery.tar file and now I'm getting a screen with a phone icon with a caution icon in the middle and a computer icon after it.
So I think I really messed it up
Any help
the thing is Odin is still connected
and no matter how much i try restarting whether in download mode or regularly same thing is still happening.
So if I can get some help would really appreciate it. I hope it can be restored

Does Odin still see the device? If it does, try to install the stock firmware. It may take some time to find it on the net. The first place I would try is here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and scroll down the page, put in your info in the drop down boxes and submit.
Thanks, Odin is still recognizing it
the original firmware was the ATT one
this Tab 2 has the 3G version
when I checked there I didn't see any one that was similar

It is a soft brick and is recoverable. Go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752 and read all the stickies in the general and dev sections. Apparently, you will not find an at&t rom per se, but can flash a new rom and pit, there are some very good detailed instructions available, but first read, and read some more, and some more after that. Apparently, your type of tab had signed bootloader issues, so be careful which rom you load. Also, as I have suggested with my links, go to the correct forum. I'm pretty sure you have a sgh i987, (based on the fact you were running 2.2 on at&t), and not a tab2.

Previous link was to the wiki, this one is to the forum. Many links will be dead and you will have to likely download the euro rom from sammobile. There is also a sticky for radio issues.
Thanks appreciate all the help AMD o just realise I said this forum instead of this link that you had pointed to earlier. So again thank you. I will read through it while on break and again at lunch and try and make sure I do it right. Most the rims I see at sammobile are 4.04 or above those should he ok right?
Again thanks and will let you know. Cause I got this yesterday for my wife. So.....

thanks it stopped coming on I realise I would plug it in it will come on then go back off not sure after how long it goes back off I know I had ti plugged in both via wall and computer.
via computer the computer did pic it up cause it showed drivers being loaded
Now no matter what I'm doing I get a black screen

Ok got it on charging same screen as I told you about before that I attached earlier
I've looked for the ROM suggest Euro but no luck, the links were dead
And while typing those last few words it gone back off, so i'm guessing it can only be on for say 30 mins.
If I can get the ROM and install it via Odin then I can possibly get it restarted

Ok, as I suspectef, you have the galaxy tab, not the tab 2, hence this is the wrong forum. Go to the forum I linked to, there are some stickies about rooting, recovery soft brick, etc. My understanding is that overcome rom or p1000 should work, but you must follow whatever odin procedures, etc. they use. Chainfire has a great post up about recovering, however the file links no longer work. Go there and ask if someone has the file(s) you need. This guy lists the files he used from sammobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996970 You will not find the files in this forum, this is the wrong forum for your device, this is for tab 2 models 31xx and 51xx, yours is a p1000 branded.

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 hard brick

Hi Guys,
I havent used this site in years but recently I bought a Galaxy S4 outright from JBHIFI.
Before you guys give me alot of crap, I have a very bad feeling that I may have hard bricked it.
It doesnt turn on anymore, not even in recovery or download mode. I am very new to android as I was using an iPhone before and couldn't resist attempting to root my phone (stock program were killing my battery)
I hadn't even had the chance to flash a custom rom on there as far as i know i just grated root access.
Funny thing is it was doing the same thing the other day. But randomly it decided to charge and turn on. Now it is definitely not charging or turning on and i have no idea what to do... it just sucks cause i havent ever this phone for a month and its already useless! :crying:
I was using it for about a week after i rooted and now im just stuck with a brick.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.
Send back t store and thel t workers that just whont turn on.Dhont thel that is rooted or somthing

yeah thats what im planning to do its about exactly a month since i had it today... i just didnt want to mention anything cause i know you guys and moderaters dont condone that kind of behaviour! thanks though, im pretty much screwed arent i? ill be heading into jbhifi on my lunch break will go ahead with that plan haha.
ill tell you guys how it goes.
Have you tried a battery pull?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
sorry... is that just taking the battery out? LOL if so, yes ive tried it quite a few times.
at one stage it was turning on but only loading the splash screen... so i pulled the battery out. even if i tried to start it in recovery mode, it would only load the blue text at the top of the screen and then freeze.
i have a mate who also got an s4 so i was going to meet up with them and see if i could use their battery because it seems the phone has even lost its capability to charge.

that seems very useful, but to use it i would have to be in download mode atleast right? problem is i cant even turn on phone to get into download mode

No, you don't have to be in download mode. Install right driver, connect your phone to pc and run the program. Then it will be in download mode, so flash firmware with pit file

well so far... i tried this at work and no luck, so i went home and tried it there... still no luck.
you mentioned i need to install the right driver? is that the QHSUSB drivers? (where can i find them and are they specific for the S4) anyway when i plug my phone into the computer there is no indication that it is being detected at all.
just hoping to try out more suggested solutions before i attempt to take it back into the store and have em tell me that my warranty is cooked
Hi just an update.
Took my phone to samsung because it was just completely screwed. They replaced the motherboard and camera but didnt find out that my phone was rooted which was good.
Thanks for your help everyone
*edit*
After they said they replaced my camera i am now getting the "camera app failed" message, wheres theres a black screen and the app doesnt work... ive had it with this phone now... going to walk into samsung and lose my ****.

Don't bash the phone for nothing ...
Somehow I doubt that they didn't test the camera after replacing it.
Next time, take it easy, and what ever you do, read carefully the instructions.
same issue
My galaxy S4 is "hard bricked" as well after trying to flash OMEGA ROM onto the device. My guess is that somebody mislabeled the ROM and it was intended for the octal-core processors and not the US quad-core ones.
Does anyone have a link for the qualcomm drivers that are needed? I'm at a loss currently in regards of which direction to take.
Thanks in advance,

How exactly do we install the driver? The download is a zipped file and I don't know how to install the extracted contents.

i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)
funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.
as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

He probably means this: http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable
This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.
Jtag could probably revive it though.
Anyway, sent mine for repairs with
custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.

G950U S8 - back to stock files?

i attempted to root this G950U S8 and didn't like how the rom turned out. How can I get back to stock? I have looked all over and have been unable to find a stock rom to download. Which is different than any other phone I've had so i find it unlikely that it can't be done. If you have a link to a stock reset rom, please post it.
thanks

as long as its a version 2 boot-loader your fines several firmware's on u2 bootloader...
Also is it the 80 % charge limit your speaking of ? If so thats a samsung thing its in the kernel and nothing we can do about it but the rom is tweaked just right...You get more life on a 80% charge than 100% charge the batt life on this rom is phenomenal

My battery problem is another one, when I conect the charger nothing happens and my phone runs out battery, buy it seems in dowload mode it charges. When I stay conected in Download mode for some minutes, then go out and the percent battery is 100%. I am not sure if it is a hardware problem. I m triying back to stock rom but it seems to be some kind tricky, right now I am reading a lot.
Thank you very much for your help!
