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
Hello you have to buy usb.jig for sgs in ebay.for 5 euros or less and its solved

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

I went and bricked my SGS again and thought great.. time to exchange again right? Wrong.
My Bell SGS is one of those cute ones that has no download mode. I thought all hope was lost. It wasn't.
It's simple, adb reboot recovery works fine. But trying to adb is a pain in the ass. Easy solution.
1) Get the one click root/unroot tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
2) Use the tool--any setting is fine, all we're using this for is getting into recovery mode. I clicked unroot 2.1.
3) Surprise! The tool can communicate with the phone just fine even though the phone is failing to boot. You're now in recovery mode.
4) Wipe the data and the cache on the device, and you're good as new. No flashing of update.zip required.
I guess that:
adb reboot recovery
would also work then?

You know, I have no idea. I'm assuming so since that's what I believe his software calls upon, but I've never actually tried it.
define your "bricked"
did you get this screen of
pc-!-phone ?
because in that screen, the phone is not recognized by windows when you plug in the USB cable
so ADB doesn't work when it's the phone is not listening to the PC

No, I did not get that screen. For me, it just blacked out and locked on bootup.

then that is not bricked
that is just a software error
when you are truly bricked the phone will not do anything but show you only that screen

If your phone is 3 button disabled, no chance of recovery. If you have 3 button recovery enabled, it's no big deal.
Cant you just send it into Samsung to recover it if its under warentee??

Can the 3 button be enabled through a potential future software update?

it's called a SPL, it might be possible to be fixed if some developers figures out how to copy a good SPL over the defective SPL, but at the moment there is no fix

Someone please help
I was trying to run the DTJG4 with the 512 PITT through ODIN when it failed.
I tried again and it didnt flash, so I tried rebooting the phone.
Now I get nothing... just a black screen.
Plug in the power, nothing, plug in the USB, nothing.
Battery removed several times and tried powering up just with power and battery, and trying 3 button combo that didnt work before, but still nothing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I had I9000M do this, 3 button mode was not working and had to return it. It happened during a kies update, luckly, 20 minutes after I had bought it. So I went to a different store and got my current phone. This phone is the best one of the three I've owned. Either 3 button mode just works, and the g-sensor calibration is much closer to being dead on. So there are good ones out there.
I've had 3 total. Here's a breakdown.
1. Purchased august 6th. First phone sold in the store. Download and Recovery modes worked 25% of the time. G-sensor calibration was horrible. Also could not be unlocked.
2. August 21st. Could not get the phone into either mode with button presses. Phone unlocked, but bricked via kies update. Never got to test the g-sensor. Last phone in same store as first purchase.
3. August 21st. Near perfect phone. 100% sucess gettung into download or recovery modes. Unlocked easily, and G-sensor is just slightly off. No need for calibration, unless using as leveling device. Purchased at a store that got initial stock on august 8th.
So, there ARE good phones out there. But the majority by the sounds of it are less than good. Which is unforunate.
As a former samsung owner as well, this is dissapointing. The original galaxy i7500L is still officially running android 1.5 in canada. I just hope and pray samsung doesn't drop this device from their dev cycles. And better yet.. Can fix all these problems with an update somehow...

So, only that specific screen counts as a brick?
On mine the 3 button combo doesn't work (I can only get to some weird "upload mode"), and the phone is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" screen when I boot it up.
Does that mean I should still be able to use ADB with it? The PC seems to recognize the phone (as "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device"), as well as Odin, but ADB doesn't.
Hi
Need help, please I just bought HTC Magic which is stuck at " HTC Magic " screen and I don't know how to fix.
I tried with phone turned off:
Volume down + power button, back + power button, home + power button, home + back + power button and nothing happens just HTC "Magic screen"
Your bricked.
Hi
Is there any way I can fixed it? Thanks
Pull the battery, then reinsert, then hold volume down + power and see if you can get into hboot.
Hi
Thanks for the fast replay, but still no luck still stuck at "HTC Magic" screen.
Does the computer detect it? Do adb or fastboot "see" it?
Hi
The computer does not detected, when I plug it in the usb nothing happens, I haven't tried adb or fastboot as I don't know how to can you please explain. Thanks! I will be happy if you can help me fixed.

Try the VOL DOWN + POWER thing again.
*remove the battery
*reinsert the battery
*while the phone is STILL OFF, hold vol down + power and do not release until you get to a white screen.
If that works, let me know and we'll proceed.
What country and carrier is the phone? You can try this method, but MAKE SURE your device matches the device this guide is intended for. If it doesn't match you could make things worse. http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-unroot-the-htc-magic-non-mytouchget-back-to-cupcake/
Hi
I kept for more than 2 min. volume down+power button, but still no luck didn't get white screen just the HTC Magic screen
I think is HTC Magic rogers, under the battery is written "HTC Magic A6161"

I think we're beyond my ability to help. Do a search around here for "goldcard" and that might help you. We need someone with more experience than myself.
Sorry.
Goldcard isn't going to help if he can't get into fastboot/hboot/recovery. Like I said, he's bricked. You may be able to get it fixed using the JTAG method, but that requires a special cable and the know-how. Maybe you can search the internet for someone near you that does it, or send it to an HTC repair facility. Do you still have it under warranty or have the equipment insurance through your carrier?

Bummer. I was under the impression that if he's getting a boot screen it's not bricked, the software is just ****ed. But I agree, if he can't even get into hboot that does not bode well at all...
Hi
Thanks for the help, so you mean this phone in not fixable.
Hi
My SD Card is empty it has been formatted maybe that's why i cant get into fastboot/hboot/recovery when I press those button combination.
Unfortunately, no. Hboot/fastboot/recovery are all written to the phone's internal memory, so the SD card has no baring on it.
Hi
That is what the previous owner (which he bricked it) said:
Semi-bricked HTC Magic
A ROM upgrade was attempted. I've forgotten why it didn't work, it may have been because it was an incompatible ROM?
Can I boot from SD Card?
Thanks

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.

Explanation to why odin fails
When your s8/ s8+ is forced rebooted by holding the power and volume down buttons or crash reboots. And when booting into download mode for some reason download mode is locked or corrupted and Odin will fail even if you use official device specific firmware. So follow the steps below to fix
How to fix!
1. Boot into download mode by pressing ( power + volume down + Bixby button) and stop at the screen of continue and reboot.
2. Press volume down to restart phone
3. Quickly boot back into download mode by pressing (power + volume down + Bixby button)
4. Press continue
5. Congratulations fully working now
Awesome thank you great work
What if by rooting you blew the efuse like I did?

hey guys i recently had an update on my s10+ and mid through the update the phone just powered off(it was plugged to the charger) and since then ive been stuck on a blue screen saying i have to use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc app so i downloaded the app and tried to do that but the app wont recognize my phone. i searched all over the internet i tried flashing with odin a previous version and even the version it was trying to update to but it all failed. it gets stuck around 50% through the install and just sits there for hours without continuing. i am hopeless and have no idea what else i can do i even took the phone to a repair shop and they also failed to fix this problem. my last resort would be changing motherboard but i doubt its worth it. anyone has ideas what else i can do in order to fix this issue?

Not sure if you've tried this but maybe it will work...
1) Hold bixby, volume down and while holding these, put the usb-c cable in the s10 when connected to the PC. This will (hopefully) get you into download mode if the other method fails
2)If Odin is still recognizing your phone, you have hope.
3)Make sure you use the latest version of Odin. I have previously tried to flash a new firmware with an old Odin and failed
4)Once you have the right Odin, try flash the latest stock firmware you can find. You may not be able to downgrade once upgraded
