I am having a problem with the Erofich 6.1 rom.
I was having problems with this rom cause the "Airplane," Mode would toggle off and on and I wouldnt be able to call out...heck I couldnt even see the contacts anymore. So I came home got on and wrote down the problem, someone said to reupload the rom to the phone and I was in the process of doing that when I had to go to the restroom . Well thinking it would just go according to play I went and when I came back I saw my phone was still in the white screen and my computer said
" Get new updated rom"
Then I had to exit out and since it was still in the white screen I just decided well crap let me put on a different rom so I put on the "Clean dev 1.1" well it went to 40% and said an error , my phone restarted in the 3 colored state so i tried to get it back to the white screen....did it again but this time it said "Image corrupt," Restarted my phone and now it just freezes on the "Windows Mobile Beta 1.1" screen and goes nowhere .
That is my predicament and I need help.
I have already tried to hard reset and it does nothing and I cant get the phone to the white screen to upload a new rom because active sync wont find the phone, I have almost given up hope but decided to ask at here as a last ditch hope that someone can help me .....Thanks.

Remove battery, than put it back. Restart phone into bootloader mode(tri collors screen; camera button+power button) connect usb cabel into a phone and run official T-Mobile rom update.

hey guys, i have a gt-i9000m and ive been flashing it with odin with no problems. most recently i went back to bell's stock rom, jh2 i think its called? i decided to try and update with kies to jk4 with the kies registry mod. it downloaded the update and everything fine, and said to wait for the phone to reboot.....i waited and waited and it never turned back on. now it is competely dead, cant get into recovery or download mode, doesnt do a single thing. any help?
also, i tried taking the phone to bell to get repaired, but since i bought it second hand and dont have the P.O.P, they wont do anything to help me. bastards!
Can you connect to usb on your pc see if ADB detects your phone? Try Odin as well.

no it doesnt show up, doesnt turn on at all....
Check this out:
http://techie-blog.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-i-unbricked-my-samsung-galaxy-s.html
will this jig method work on a phone that doesnt even power up at all?
The jig method is a perfect method. Resistance value should be very close to 301k. Dont press any button and dont touch the resistors while inserting.
You should have Galaxy S usb drivers installed.
If you have already installed Kies then follow the nest step.
Jig will take you into Download mode. After that use ODIN3 version 1.7
to flash stock firmware.
Good Luck.
hmm ok ill try this out! ive got a box of resistors, now i just have to figure out how to make 301k....
im a little skeptical that this is gonna be able to revive my phone. i used to have the 3 button ability, now it doesnt even turn on...

This is a 3 button fix released by Bell Canada.
But obviously you have to use the JIG first of all.
Then use ODIN3 version 1.7
1. Select the above mentioned file as a PDA file.
2 . Select the PHONE BOOTLOADER UPDATE option in odin.
3. Remember do not select Re-Partition option.
Press Start. It will fix your 3 button Download mode and Recovery mode option.
Good Luck.
the jig didnt do anything....
Had the same problem. Bought mine on Craigslist, no receipt. Try a 3rd party repair shop if all else fails. It's honestly less than your monthly bill from your service provider. And if you factor in your time trying to find the cure, way less. Mine cost $72 to replace the M/B, and others have said about a hundred for theirs. It's up to you, but it's another option.
Is your Battery ok ? Because you are saying that your phone does not even turn on when you press power button.
If it is not a battery problem and the phone shows absolutely no sign.
Then it can be a hardware problem.
Because mobile should show some sign for example Mobile and Computer picture, the light on the back key.
However,can you show me the picture of your JIG.
I have tested this JIG on almost 10 mobiles. 100% working. But they were turning on by pressing power button.
Actually when you connect the 4rth and 5th pin of your micro USB with some
specific value of resistance , triggers some function and 301k triggers DOWNLOAD MODE.
The BELL version of Galaxy S has some issue with the INTERNAL SD. I have seen many cases of SD failure on this forum.
And their after sale service is also very bad. People are spending a big amount on this specific model and see what they are getting.
hi
after update my galaxy s is not turning on anymore. Odin finished the whole update now it wont turn on at all.
Any way to safe the phone ?
Is it bricked ?
If you are able to go into download mode, you are safe. Which region are you from and what FW did you flash?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
iam from canada i9000M and i flashed jh2
its not turning on at all. I simply dont understand. first mount issue. then phone - attention - computer issue. bought the jig adapter from ebay. the phone went into download mode. installed the root kernel and then jh2. Everything successfull and now the phone simply wont turn on.
This phone is just garbage nothings works like it should.
pull the battery out for 5 mins then put back in and hook up to the charger. The phone should start up again by keeping the power button pressed in for at least 30 seconds to a minute. It happened to me a few weeks ago when I was flashing my mates phone.
nope all dead.
Called samsung that the phone is not turning on at all. Spoke with supervisor they agreed to fix the phone
UPS is gonna pick up the phone today. Damm gonna be without phone for 2-3 weeks. Have to use Motorola Pebl
I have the same problem after update on Odin. The phone is completely dead, download doesnt boot. Does anyone know how to fix it, or the only way is to send to samsung ?
So yesterday my Kies said there was a new firmware for my SGS, and after backing up my data with kies, i started updating it. The update got stuck at 71% for 2 hours, so i decided to disconnect the cable and recover the phone afterwards. But i cant get to connection mode or download mode, I've read lots of threads in this forum, tried many combinations, tried to release power when the icon disappears, but nothing... The image with the phone, triangle and computer appears all the time, and i haven't seen anything other than this.
Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone when connected since i tried to update the firmware.. I have also tried with Odin, but i got the same result.
So, anyone can help me? I won this phone in a christmas contest, and they haven't delivery the warranty yet, so im kinda stuck.
thanks for your time reading this.
You could try this:

Read the sticky topic about JIG/JTAG.

Hum, i was trying to avoid that method, but i guess i will give it a try later. First i will try to get my warranty.

The same thing happened to me a month or so ago, I managed to get it in to download mode by removing the battery, putting it back in and being very quick with my fingers to get it in to download then flashed with odin.
You backed up your data did you back up your original rom by any chance ??
jje
Remove your battery for 10 min. then try again if u hadn't solved 3 button combination before

I don't think so.. :/
As Samsung broke the phone i would take it to a Samsung service centre before getting involved in warranty breaking flashing .

very good point.
If you want to fix it yourself the mentioned battery pull will probably work.
(pull the battery out, wait a few seconds, put it back in, voldown-home-power and you should be in download)
I had a similar problem some time ago (Phone ! PC screen)... I disconnected the battery for half a day came home from uni and put the battery into the phone, while holding ALL (hard) buttons at the same time... then, download mode actually went through

@Ricardo_1991
If you remove the battery for some time(10 min.) and you still can't access download-mode then Sbl on your device has been corrupted while kies did flash the ROM, take it to a samsung service center and get it fixed.
You probably have done this but ensure your usb cable is REMOVED until you get the download mode working.
Personally I'd use the jig. As soon as you have that jig built you can have your phopne working again (and updated) in less than 30mins. Who knows how long it will take the service centre to fix it.

I agree, but im from Portugal, and i dont have any nearby store where i can buy all the materials. What i can do is order the micro sim thing from amazon.co.uk, and the 301K resistor from somewhere else..
ps: the sellers of resistors in amazon wont send them to portugal, only the micro sim plug
Hi guys. My almost brand new Samsung Galaxy S4 has just stopped working.
I was doing homework and one of my friends text me I look at the text and lock my phone screen and that was the last time I saw my screen working properly.
I later tried to turn on the screen but I had no luck, the screen wouldn't show anything, it was just blank but surprisingly it recognised my touch and made the sound. I could unlock my phone and even turn on apps by guessing where I kept them. I could turn on music and it would work but the screen would remain completely blank.
My phone was rooted and it had the stock rom but it had a custom kernel which enabled over clocking to 2.3 ghz (Ktweakers kernel I think) but the limit was set to 1.89 so I don't that that was the cause.
When I restart my phone the screen where it says "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505", I think its called the splash screen? I'm not sure, anyways instead of it being black with white writing, its really weird and is bright white with very light white writing. This is the only time the screen actually works, and the other time it works is when you try to put it into download mode but both times the screen is bright white and everything is very light and faded. After the "GT-I9505" screen goes away the screen goes black the blue LED still flashes and you can hear the samsung boot sound and the phone boots up properly without the screen.
What could be the cause of all this? I have literally kept this phone on top of my head. I have done nothing to harm it in any way what so ever. I have never dropped it. From day one I had a thick case incase I bumped it and damaged it. Anyone else having this problem? Or am I the only one? Do you guys think I'll be able to fix this or will I have to take it back to the store?
Thank you!

U can try to go to stock recovery and try to wipe cache and see if it boots up
If u have custom recovery wipe cache / dalvik/ fix permissn and reboot
else u should download a stock firmware and flash it using odin it will work incase even after u flash a firmware and again stuck at Logo etc go to stock recovery and wipe cache and reboot

Thank you for replying! I had cwm recovery installed but I reverted back to stock mod through odin. Now I am trying to wipe cache through stock recovery but the problem is that I can't see anything that I am doing. I am relying on pictures of the stock recovery. I know that my phone goes into recovery mode but it does not show anything on the screen. I am assuming I get stuck on the part where there are lots of no's and one yes.
Would It be possible if you could post a picture of that (The screen with all the no's and the one yes) because maybe then I can wipe the cache.
And I am already downloading the stock firmware, but it is taking forever because if the extremely slow internet. But the thing is that I don't see any logos, it boots fine but it doesn't show anything on the display. But I also know that the display is working because it still shows the "GT-I9505" screen. I'll post my progress here.

Okay so I downloaded the stock rom and flashed it with odin and it basically did nothing. Rather before flashing the stock rom, the splash screen would show (the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505") but now it does not show anything. It turns on normally like it should, it makes the boot sound but does not show anything on the screen. If you have the lights turned off, you can see a flicker when it turns on and thats the only time the screen actually lights up. What do you think I should do? I still think it might be a software issue. Also I don't think I have warranty because I have flashed my phone a few times. Its still very upsetting that this has happened because honestly I haven't done anything to this phone.

I don't think it does. Because before flashing stock rom, the splash screen would show and it had no cracks. So no actual damage, I still think it is a software issue but I don't know how to fix it :/ I still can't decide if I should take it to Samsung (which will take like a few months) or I can take it to a local repair shop and they can look at it which shouldn't take more than a week.

Repairing it doesn't take very long, taking it to the repair centre will take time. I bought my phone from Singapore and I have to take it there if I want to get it repaired. I took it to the Samsung repair centre in Bangladesh, they said they can't repair my model because they don't support it here :/

same problem
The same exact thing happened to me yesterday. Opened a text from a friend, tried turning on the screen and black screen. Thinking of sending it to samsung but do you have a solution yet? Was the problem diagnosed?
My Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 screen is dead--
I woke up this morning and my phone is still charging... But I cannot see my any data in the screen.. But my phone is still working.. I can receive phone call with my headset.. I cannot see anything in my screen.. It gone black.. Can anybody help me to fix this.. Or is this a firmware issue.. My phone has been rooted and installed official android 4.3 jellybean. Please help!!!
Just today I spend the same, except that the screen starts flashing, and at times the picture and the picture looked twice was very unstable, it restarts, and for the image of the i9505 without problem.
He ruled out a physical problem as it starts each. Device failure begins after displaying the Device Model
.
The touch and other features of the device, work perfectly. Try booting in recovery mode and I could not look very bad image.
In trying to backup my data with titanium to try to do a factory reset, began to regain normalcy. And right there my device works perfectly.
Bring 7 hours working normally my device. But I have fear of failing again. And now looking for information about possible solution. No warranty now.
What do you recommend? It's failure is becoming common. My device is doomed to die without remedy? Thank you very much for your answers in advance. Use translator apologies. Speak Spanish
hello guys, i got mine i9505 lte version 4 months ago. yesterday i pull it out of my pocket i tried to wake the device up but nothing .. just black screen just like the guys before me here. so today i opened the phone and pulled out and push it back the display connector...

Hello Guys, this issues is very common when you rooted the device and install Wanam Xposed.
You can try flash a stock Rom and stock Kernel with odin, try to swipe cache and dalvin using ADB.
Good Luck!
