So, I think my phone is a bit bricked at the moment, I have this image of a phone, an exclamation mark, then a computer connected by a row of dots. I can't use links because I'm a new forum member, but you can see an actual picture of this image on the "[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader" thread by Darkstrider.
I can still get into "download mode" using the keypress and Odin still picks up the device on the COM port.
It had this firmware before I tried flashing it (16Gb model locked to the Three UK network):-
PDA: I9000NEJG2
PHONE: I9000NEJG1
CSC: I9000HCGJF2
The steps leading up to the bricking:-
I was firstly trying to follow the instructions on Darkstriker's 2nd post from his topic " [REF] BIG FAQ Thread! {Flash/Root HOWTO} {ADB&Tutorials} {T&T} [READ BEFORE POSTING!]"
So I got JG5 firmware from a link on the Modaco forums (from the " 22/Jul r3 (JG5) - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S with Online Kitchen" topic, the ROM was hosted on coblitz.codeen.org.
Installed the "usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip" drivers from the "USB Driver for Galaxy S and Misc Info" (xda forums) topic. Windows XP picked up and used the drivers in the extracted "03_Swallowtail" folder. It added "Samsung Mobile Modem" and "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device" to Device Manager.
So, I did everything on Darkstriker's guide, added the .pit file, chose the "re-partition" option because I was flashing to JG5. The process got stuck on "File analysis..", waited 20-30mins and it didn't move from this status.
Didn't work, so then I tried some different drivers, I googled and found "I9000_USB_driver.rar" on hotfile.
This time Odin got to the "Do not turn off target!!" status and it didn't move for around 20-30mins.
Restarted my computer, detached and reattached the USB cable, I decided to not use the re-partition option and try again, the status got to "factoryfs.rfs", this time the phone display went blank, which didn't happen before, but again it seemed stuck, nothing happened after waiting 20-30mins. So I aborted and closed Odin.
At this point I just wanted to use the phone to make a call when I notice the image/symbol above that I described at the beginning of this post. Help!
What's the best way to fix this? I spent nearly 2-3hrs trying to flash my phone and now it's half dead! I've nearly run out of mental stamina, but will give it a fresh attack today/tomorrow if someone can offer some suggestions.
Was thinking about trying the "fix" on the "[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader" topic but not sure if it is only for the Captivate.
Hope you guys can help me out
All I wanted to do was to put the "(ROM Galaxy Europe) Doc's StockRomMod V2 (XWJG5)(deoxed) 30/07/10" ROM on my device, and add the JIT compiler and Flash 10.1 player if possible
Go read the guides from the development area.
It's just too easy and you're making it overcomplicated to yourself.
If you have the connect to pc error logo.. remove battery and then proceed.
1. if you installed kies ever, you already have the needed drivers.
2. start odin and select correct files (pit,code,modem,csc in respective order)
3. put phone in download mode (home + volume down + power)(hold long enough)
4. plug it to computer (odin should say "added")
5. press start (in less than 5 mins you phone should restart and go into special mode where it does some magic and reboot again and your done).
My god Buddy, you are right, I was overcomplicating things, I did it in the exact order you said and now I'm getting the progress bar for the first time.
I'm feeling optomistic now! Thanks dude!
It worked! If I was gay I'd kiss you on the lips! Thanks again buddy, it was stupidly simple after all.

Really? I can't get my Captivate to even boot up...........no signs of life.........HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid me: I pulled the USB cable and cancelled a ROM update (that was mid way) with Odin because i realized the SIM and SD card were still in the phone....so i pulled it to remove those and now NOTHING>>>>
Please help, following the instructions and it won't go back into download mode. Is there any other way?

Hi, i have semi bricked my galaxy s which is from the african region, but purchased in dubai. i've managed to cut open a micro usb jack and i can clearly see the pins i need to use, my question is, does the resistor value have to be exactly 301k or it can vary up or down slightly. also instead of using 3 100k resistors can i add up other values as well to make it close to 301k? sorry im noob at this stuff atm but i find such hacking very intriguing. also when i tried it with the resistors that add up to 300k, i join them to pins 4 and 5 with the phone switched off, after 5 seconds it shows the same thing 'phone ! pc'. by which i know all hope is not lost yet.

I did 300k and it worked. 3 x 100k ohm resitors.
Solder just one pin and leave one pin loose.
Connect that micro usb when phone is shut down.
Touch with that loose end to that pin which you did not solder. 4 or 5.
Keep it pressed until phone goes to the download mode.
You can try my jm8 guide.
Section B is for flashing stock 2.1, to get a fresh clean install.
Hello - I urgently need help with my Samsung Galaxy Tab.
I flashed a wrong PIT/PDA & what happened is:
- my Galaxy Tab does not reboot at all
- the flashlight in the back suddenly switched ON automatically
No matter how long I press the Power Button, the device switches off just for one second, and then the flashlight switches ON again - but no reboot.
I cannot get into download mode / when I try to use commands with Odin, it only says: error: device not found.
Odin does show my device ([COM:4]), it appears as: Added // only the download mode does not work!
When I tried to start SuperOneClick, trying to Unroot, it is stuck with: "Waiting for device"
Weirdly, though, my netbook does install the drivers automatically when I plug it in. Which means, my netbook can "read" the device.
Does anyone here know how I could make the extreme Hard Reset, without having to reboot?
--------------------------
If you think this post should rather go to the Developers section, please feel free to move it // I am thankful for any help
Have you tried connecting to it with ADB to see if you can reach it at this level (apart from with SuperOneClick)? Try installing the Droid Explorer application on your Windows PC and see if it will recognise your Tab. If it will you should be able to initiate a reset from the Droid Explorer UI. If it won't I would suggest that you are hard bricked and it will have to visit Samsung. Good luck!
Hello,
thank you for your advice.
adb does not detect my device ..
and, unfortunately, neither does Droid Explorer
Just find it so strange that ODIN does ..
but like you said -
I am also afraid, that this is a "hard brick" & I will go see the retailer tomorrow.
Thank you, though, for offering help.

If Odin sees it, its not bricked. What image is on the LCD when Odin sees it, or is it blank?

I guess the problem here is that even if Odin sees the USB device connected, if the Tab won't go into download mode then it's as good as bricked. With the SGS you can construct a USB jig with a 301k resistor between pins 4 and 5 of the micro USB to push the device into download mode if it won't respond any other way. I wonder if a similar thing would work for the Tab... Sounds like a challenge for someone who has two Tabs and doesn't mind experimenting a bit with one of them.

lol, I'll get my cheap Chinese Tab cables this week and hack one up to test.
My guess is that Odin will only see the Tab when it is in download mode. Id try flashing it in that state and find out for sure. It sure cant hurt.
You went to your retailer?I have exactly the same problem!!
First of all - THANK YOU for having started this discussion.
Yes, I went to the retailer. My Galaxy Tab is with Samsung Technical Support now; will keep you posted.
To answer some earlier questions, yes ODIN did recognize my Tab; but the screen on the Tab remained totally black. Only this strange "flash" light on the back kept glowing.
rotohammer, if you really get to test what you mentioned before, I'd be interested to hear what happened - but, personally I would not recommend it, unless you are sure you want to risk completely ruining your dear Tab.

I did ... and less than 2 weeks later ..
Update:
13-Jan-2011
Today noon I got a call from my retailer my Galaxy Tab was ready to be picked up & I was really lucky: my retailer said the repair would normally cost EUR 650.-
.. as I had damaged the whole mainboard ..
but as the Tab was less than 1 month old, they were so kind to do it w/in my warranty - so I did not have to pay for it.
I'm very relieved, as you can imagine.
Got my Galaxy Tab back with a brand-new mainboard, everything is working well &
I sure learned my lesson.
I will not flash the Galaxy Tab again.
Only because Galaxy Tab and Galaxy i9000 are both on Froyo, it does NOT mean that you can flash the same software!
I wanted to apply the 3 button combo fix on my Galaxy Tab but apparently it does not work!
Bricked mine as well, but mine is a weird case
I bring up the weirdest case of bricking so far, i was on an official Arabic (P1000JPJK2)Firmware, and i noticed a new Arabic release on SamsungFirmware.com (P1000JPJM3) i downloaded it and downloaded the .pit file, Started Odin v1.7 and unchecked repartition, selected the PDA and the pit and started the processes, odin finished and Reseted the device and give me the green light with the word PASS, however, the my p1000 decided to reboot into download mode automatically, so i rebooted the device manually and got stock in the Samsung Logo and keeps looping. so i decided to go back to my previous Rom but it will always fail and i would have to reboot my tab and it will show the good ol' Phon-PC logos, however, odin would see it and would flash anything i want. i tried flashing various versions of rom's but they would all fail... i tried repartition checked and unchecked and nothing worked, so lastly i decided to flash the .pit file alone and that worked and got me back to where i was stuck in the Samsung logo loop and no ROM would be flashed through Odin BUT the (P1000JPJM3) but it still will not boot! and funny enough i took it to sammy's repair shop and they told me to come pick it up in a few hours but they told me that they failed to repair it and they would need to keep it till tomorrow, but they guy was not that optimistic about getting it repaired and to make things worse i couldn't get unrooted so there is a good chance that there will be no warranty... does this mean that i bricked it for good? please help me.
Hello, I so hope someone can help. I just updated my galaxy tab 2 7 p113 to Android 4.0.4 UEBLH2. That was done automatically from samsung. I wanted to then install the newest update to 4.1.1 jellybean. So I downloaded it from this link. http://www.trickytweaks.com/update-...ecli4-4-1-1-jelly-bean-ota-test-firmware.html. I put the official Android 4.1.1 UEBLH2 Firmware on my sdcard then held down my power and up volume and installed it. HOWEVER, it never finished installing. Went all the way to the end. Now I HAVE NO USB CONNECTION and NO BOOT UP. Just black Since I dont have usb connection I cant us oden. CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP? I still can put files on my micro disk card and then put sd disk in my tab and use the power button up arrow to install something but I tried installing clockwork mod but that did not work. Iam out of ideas. P.S. My tab IS NOT ROOTED. I tried updating back to and original rom 4.04 I download but that did work. Thank you.
I think you need to enter the download mode volume down+power or recovery mode volume up+power to be able to restore the tab
Try multiple times close the tab even with long pressing power then try the button combinations (press both for multiple seconds) and release to see if you could enter any mode
If you reached download mode try flashing stock firmware for your tab specific model 3113 or 3110 or 3100 via odin (install kies and reboot before)
If you reached recovery (stock) then connect with kies and choose recover firmware from kies options (near the word file in top) you should have active internet connection
You could try charging tab even for some hours before trying button cobinations
If not try to return as not rooted so warranty is goood

Yup, this should get you going again. If you can get into download mode, you should be okay. That's what Odin needs.
Download mode is volume down plus power. Then volume up
Recovery mode is volume up plus power.
I want to thank both the posters on trying to help me. I did hold down the power and download button and it went in to the download mode. HOWEVER, since I can not access usb it did not do anything. Just kept saying downloading. As I mentioned in my first post I CAN ACCESS MY SD DISK FILES by doing the power up button thing. Thats the only way I can get files on. But the DOWNLOADING down arrow just does not do anything. hmmmmmmm will keep plugging away.
I can not understand how you can not access usb, is it a lacking driver so download kies and reboot and try connect again ,also try a different usb ports (esp the rear of case) of your computer
Was usb working before the problem?
do you have cwm or stock recovery?
If cwm so download cm10 or cm9 from www.teamhacksung.org and put in usb card and flash but do a cash delete and dalvik delete afterwards not for boot loop
If stock so try stock firmware from www.samfirmware.com (register their first) and put in sd card and try to flash

I think you're misunderstanding download mode. When you get the device in download mode, connect it then to the computer, with Odin open. The only reason Odin wouldn't recognize it would be a driver issue. In that case, do as the previous poster stated. When you're in download mode, you're strictly flashing through Odin. You aren't going to see the device as a storage device on the computer. The only way your computer can interact with it at this point is Odin. Via Odin, flash the proper p3113 firmware file from sammobile/samfirmware (will be a large 600mb+ file). Once that's done, you should then be back to completely stock and healthy recovery and ROM. Reboot tab and see what happens. If it boots, and you still want to update, then make sure you get the correct ota for the base file you just flashed (that is, if you're trying to upgrade to say Jellybean). If you need more help always ask, but you should be fine. If I lived nearby I'd do it for you.
All I can say is unbelievable help here! Thank you. I am spending hours on this (plus a fortune on this new Tab 2 7). After studying up I do now understand how Odin works and how grabbing the correct firmware will do the job. HOWEVER (maybe others come across this huge roadblock) nothing can be done with out usb interaction. I DID DOWNLOAD KIES and installed it. But no matter what I do can not get any storage device listed or anything going on between tab and computer. Only thing my Tab does is when I plug it in to the computer via usb is go in to charging mode with the charging icon showing. Loading Odin does not show any connection. I have tried different computer USB plugins, 3 different computers (all I have loaded Kies on). Iam sooooooo close. If only while in the POWER BUTTON DOWN ARROW DOWNLOAD MODE and running ODIN on my computer there would be a connection I would be home free and able to flash firmware.

Once you are in download mode, connect your tab to the computer with the usb connection.....you should see a com xx number pop up in Odin in yellow reporting your device is connected thru a communication port. From there you will be able to choose the file you want as a PDA uncheck everything else...reboot...reset timer....whatever. Just make sure you have the correct firmware. There is a Odin flashback to Stock rom in the development section. Make sure it's for your device. Once you start Odin, should take about 4 mins...disconnect and hold the power button down to reboot. That's it....
Hello Everyone Again, I just want to say thank you for all of you who took the time to help. I hopefully will become knowledgeable enough to help people in the forums as I gain knowledge. I finally did find the solution. I did everything that was mentioned. And no matter what what I did with KIES drivers Samsung usb drivers, etc could not get a connection so I could us Odin to keep me back to the orgiginal 800 mb 4.04 original file. My solution was (as mentioned) I deleted all my windows drivers dealing with usb, kies, etc. Then rebooted. I notice even though I did not have a direct usb connection showing up now Odin was showing a connection! So using Odin I got to restore everything and now back to like new. Lesson learned. Hope this helps others that almost fatally brick their tablets. Thanks again for all our help

Is there any way to save my tablet if there is NO firmware out?
Im talking about the SCH I705, I followed the root guide, and it got ****ed up.
Unable to boot into recovery (it goes to Odin "could not do normal boot.")
Tablet seems unresponsive sometimes (to power on/off)
Will boot cycle occasionally

You have to reflash your tablet using ODIN. It's not that hard. Just follow the second method here (you don't need to download android SDK)
copy this in your navigator bar : rootzwiki . com/topic/37272-verizonsch-i705-root-for-all-current-firmware/ ( delete space around the dot)
Plus, your tab will be rooted.
You're welcome.
P.S : This limitation of URL is annoying as hell.
Hi guys, please help if you can before I pull all of my hair out. My wife’s Galaxy Y is in a boot loop & I’ve spent most of the weekend trying to fix it without success. I'm a newbie here but have searched your forums before & found them very helpful but can't find a solution to my missing drivers problem.
So far I’ve followed the instructions in post 6 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33706714 but ODIN’s ID:COM field never changes colour (version 1.85). I’m guessing this is because every time I connect the phone to my PC I’m getting a message stating that the CDC drivers ACM & OBEX can’t be found despite having installed KIES from the link supplied.
It's a standard phone, never been flashed before it that's any help.
Okay...

So, you've never rooted it? What changes did you do last before it ran into a bootloop? My galaxy y, after receiving an update took 45 mins to boot up.
you dont need kies its pretty much usless for galaxy y
You need to install the samsung usb drivers

Also you can just try wiping data in cwm - you will loose all data but the phone should start normally else you will have to flash stock rom via odin

Wow guys, that was fast! Thanks for your help, my wife doesn't remember changing or d/ling anything recently me0211.
I have already d/l the drivers from your link, Marcus. However, my PC wasn't picking up the CDC drivers even if I manually point the setup to the folder where I d/l the drivers. However, I've just renamed the folder it d/l the drivers to & redownloaded them again. Sure enough, connected the the phone to the PC & the drivers were successfully installed! Opened ODIN, the ID:COM field turned yellow, & everything worked perfectly from there!
Thanks so much Marcus, I've earned maximum brownie points with the wife & I'm now considering a Rooney weave for the hair I've lost.
She's lost all her texts but that's probably a blessing, she does like to to text. :laugh:

Hi everyone, I have a big problem on my phone (SM-N910F) does not start even in download / recovery mode, the screen is off. I think it's a "hard brick."
All I can see now in device manager is Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7).
Is there any possibility to bring my phone back into download mode? Please help me !!!

Well lets start by telling us what you did to the phone to get you where you are. And, what model is the N910F?
EDIT: is the "F" version for Europe?

What happens when you try to enter download mode?

Thank you, I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, model SM-N910F for Europe.
I used a zip package to run a script via TWRP. The script was erasing some applications(bloatware) from rom. After the script was executed, I forgot to execute a wipe data/cache/factory and my phone was started to boot. After touchwiz was initialised, 3 seconds later my phone froze. Then I removed the battery and...here I am.
My computer is able to detect the phone(i can see in device manager Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7) but Odin is unable to see any phone connected.
I've already tried an USB JIG but nothing...
I found an interesting thing, I can connect to the phone using QPST, please find attached a screenshot(Capture1.png). Here I found an option named Software Download. I've clicked this option and i can see: COM7 Phone in Download Mode. Please look at the attached picture Capture3. Here I can see two options: Phone Image and Boot image. Can I upload some specific boot image to unbrick my phone?

Not sure I can help you but you may be using a corrupted program, QPST. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391
When the phone is hooked up to the charger do you get a charging indication on the LED? Is the battery charged or at least have some charge left on it?
Have you removed the battery and then tried to boot. If not give that a try. The only other recommendation I can offer since I've never used QPST and I don't know what script you ran to remove bloatware so I can't tell what it potentially did is to try to recover your phone through Kies (Samsung software). I seldom recommend Kies and have never used it myself since I have an unlocked bootloader, but if Kies recognizes your phone there may be hope. Good luck.

Nothing...the screen is black, i cannot see anything, also Odin is unable to see the phone.

Judging by the screenshots i would say its windows.
That said, I don't think I have any more ideas to add to the solutions already suggested.
You might wanna try your luck with z3x box or visit samsung service center.. that's all there's left to add.
