Try recovery mode, but probably it won't work neither. Try also removing sim and sdcard... In such cases, when you cannot start the phone in any mode, the Samsung service is the only solution...

ok. can it be done under warranty?
what do i say to samsungg service?

So there is no bootloader on my device so it doesn't start

I guess this is covered by warranty... you can say the phone crashed after reboot or after using Kies.

I can possibly purchase the phone off you. If nothing can be resolved by yourselves!

Tell samsung it crashed while updating with Kies

Samsung Galaxy S Update Faild, Phone won't Start or Boot

Hi,
Today I wanted to update my Galaxy S via Kies and I get "Update Fail". From then my phone won't start, won't boot, won't do anything. On screen appears a phone with exclamation mark and a PC. I tried vol down + home + power but that symbol
won't disappear.
You can see the exact symptomes if you will search on youtube "Re: Samsung galaxy s upgrade FROYO 2.2 fail ! ! HELPPP "
Any solutions?
I would be grateful

In Kies select "tools", "emergence firmware recovery"....follow on screen instructions

This happened to me more than once.
Just pull out your battery and push the powerbutton for 3 seconds.
Now put the battery in, start in downloadmode and flash via odin

Time for a custom rom if you ask me...
You will never look back trust me...

Custom ROMS are always problematic and the OP is not asking about custom or stock roms..
@gabi Whenever such a situation occurs, just reinsert the battery and enter the phone to download mode and flash again and make sure your USB connection is solid and you are flashing with the correct files.

First of all.. that's a load of crap..
2nd.. he is using kies, not odin .. so what correct files?
Facepalm.

I think crap is in your brain
We know that he was using KIES but as Timmey806 advised him in the 3rd post to use Odin for convenience, So I was talking about Odin and the firmware files you dumb-bell.

Also you are able to flash a stock firmware with odin but the OP has to find the right firmeware on his own.
I just gave a very usefull tip ;-)
@OP: Did it work for you?

[Q] ICS Update not working =(

hi guys
so i hooked up my n7000 up to kies via my mac. updated in progress then all of a sudden i get an error thru kies saying that the program had an error and to restart
on my phone it says "Downloading...do not turn off target!!"
for the past 3 hours.......
wut can i do without bricking my phone?? =(
never been rooted or anything!! please help!

well, there is nothing you can do but.
1. wait for it to wake up (doubt it) and the battery runs out
2. turn it off and hopefully it boots back up

No progres bar? Than you are lijeky to be fine, kies probably lost connection. Retart phone and computer and try again.
At own risk of course

As he said if theres no green progress bar you may be lucky and it may not have started the flash. The 'downloading...' message is a bit missleading. Pull the battery and give it another go. but it does sound a little risky. If it does that midflash :'( reboot the pc and make sure nothing else can interupt and make sure the usb is giving a clean reliable connection. Fluff in the port?

guys the phone just stayed in download mode and never disconnected the Kies on PC FC's so he doesn't a problem just us Odin and flash it mate you wont have a hard brick download the firmware there are several posts here with links or just goto sammobile and get it there download and flash thats all you have to do...
this is probably the most thing i hate about cables and PC (SH!T)
good luck.

hey everyone
yep thanks for the info!
what actually happened was i just took the risk and did a hard reset (aka battery pull) and after some time it started to resume the download after i hooked up back to my mac! so luckily everything eventually turned out ok! =) thanks for all the help!!

My galaxy tab p1000 reached this status before, no response to anything but to the charger with an empty battery logo.
I remember to fix it i took it back to stock Gingerbread then I upgraded to CM11 nightly 20140124 and the phone is in perfect condition now.
let me know if you need any help with that. good luck!

hi,
thank you very much for your help, you know where I could find a guide to do it?
Regard

Or try the overcome method. The rom is for gsm tabs. After flashing, you could update to whatever you like. Just google overcome rom.

Hello,
the problem is that my tablet does not go into download mode and the procedure dell'overcome method seems to be essential to this mode.
Do you have any suggestions?

Try charging the tab overnight. You need a full battery to charge. Just plug it in and leave it charge all night. I dont know anything about unbuntu. What i know about is heimdall, odin, and kies.

Hello, the strange thing is this, a lot has already been in office about a night and a day.
But if it is connected to the electrical outlet continues to be the logo of the battery with an "hourglass" locked that does not rotate.
thanks

How is the usb cable? It could be bad.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda app-developers app

the original cable is samsung did not do it rips and cuts when used with the charger works great, I'll try to look for another cable, I doubt that it can be seen that ruined the bootloader does not even enter into download mode

I am just thinking that the reason it will not charge could be a bad cable. The tab could recognize its plugged in, but not work properly. It could be the reason for the computer not seeing the tab as well.

Hey ,
My Tab has been bricked in total unusual way . its only showing " galaxy tab samsung " which is the opening window .
its not going to cwm . but its going to downloading mode.
odin is also not able to detect it so i am unable to flash or root it .
Please help.

As long as you can get into download mode, all is not lost. The tab is ready, the computer has to see it. Try different combinations of connecting it. Open odin, then connect tab in download mode. For example.

Hopefully, this has been long fixed. What I have sometimes noted with my Tab is that it doesn't show the com port until you have clicked PIT or PDA or Phone, only then does it connect and then it is smooth thereafter.

[Q] SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 Neo (GT- I9300I) Hard Bricked! (Was running Stock Android 4.3)

Hi XDA Community, I'm new to this Q&A sections and threads (excuse me if my english is bad)
What happened?
I have my S3 Neo (GT-I9300I) and I tried to download & flash Stock 4.4.4 KitKat Firmware of INDIA to my phone (which I purchased in Panama City (where I live)). As I flashed the official ROM (which I downloaded from Sammobile) my phone rebooted BUT as it turned on again, the Samsung logo didn't showed up and, instead, I got an error saying that normal boot couldn't be done.
I tried to reflash it again and this time my phone turned off to never turn back on again (or at least for now).
Now I try to press the Power Button and it doesn't turns on, tried to get it to download mode but nothing, even tried to plug it and charge the battery, but still doesn't powers up.
What's really odd is that I connect my phone to my PC (Windows 8.1) and my pc does this sound like when you plug in a USB Device.
But my phone doesn't appear as connected nor nothing. I've tried EVERYTHING but my phone simply won't turn on.
PLEASE HELP!!!:crying:
