I had a similar problem as most phones in Canada seem to have Download/Recovery mode disabled, and here is what worked for me.
Grab something like One Click Un Root (all models), and click one click un root (obviously phone has to be on and plugged into the computer).
This should automatically reboot you into Recovery Mode!
All you have to do is "wipe data/factory default" or something like that (should be the third option).
As it states, you will loose all your data, but at least you will have a functionning phone!
did it work?
Hi. I have similar problem. Can anybody give instruction what can I do?
I have this problem too. Please help somebody
Add me to the list. Bell Galaxy S, went to unlock my phone the screen went black. Now it will not boot into the OS, the galaxy S splash screen displays then nothing. The menu and back button light up, thats all. ****[email protected]@
I have not rooted or anything.
Of course my download mode does not work.. Going to try this one click root thing if I can find it.
NOT HAPPY
This is not working. Probably because the phone is not in USB debugging mode as I can't change it... Is there any other way to get the phone into recovery mode?
**** me
i had the same thing happen to me the other day with my bell galaxy s and my phone wont do the 3 button combo trick. i left my phone plugged in to a wall charger for a while until the back of the phone became a little warm. i pulled the battery and then left the power cord plugged in and put the battery back in. i held the volume down and enter button until the battery charging indicator showed up, then i also pressed and held the power button until the boot animation started (this is the blue moving swirl and music, not the galaxy s splash scree) and then i let go of the power button. it took a few attempts at this before it actually worked, but eventually it will go into download mode at which time you can open the odin app, then plug in the usb cable and flash your phone that way. it did seem to make a difference if the back of the phone (around the camera area) was warm. if i let go of the power button while the music was playing and the phone did not enter download mode i would keep all 3 buttons pressed until it shut down again, then i would only let go of the power button while the phone initiated the charging screen, then once the battery logo was displayed i would hold the 3 buttons again and would just keep doing this until it went into download mode. i have flashed it at least 5 times today and i have been able to do this each time.
i also had an issue where odin would not recognize my phone was plugged in and windows would show a message saying the usb device was not recognized. i left the phone plugged in and while in download mode i pressed the volume up, enter button and power button until the phone went blank and when the galaxy s logo showed up i let go of the power button and the phone would go into recovery mode and then the usb drivers would be installed. i would then do the 3 button combo for download mode and odin would work fine. it took several attempts but it does work. i hope this helps you guys
If I hold all three buttons the splash screen does not come on, it just keeps looping the Galaxy S logo until I let go of the power button....

That's what mine did too, several times in a row and then it worked. For some reason it only works after the battery is charging for a bit and the back becomes warm. then it works at will
No luck. I am probably screwed getting it exchanged now too as I am passed the 14 days from Best Buy.
the on click thing doesn't work, if your phone is already bricked.
also it is not the phone's fault for not working, the phone was working properly before you tried the hacks.
whenever you do these kind of things you know you are entering into the "not supported" "not covered by warranty" zone.
in the worse case scenario, if you can no enter download mode to recover your phone, it'll be to take the phone back to bell and claim warranty on it, and prentent you don't know what happened to it.

Its my fault??
I did not hack my phone. Its not rooted, I did nothing to it.
By "unlock" I meant exactly that, unlock as in swiping the screen to unlock it.
The more I search the net the more posts I find of Galaxy S phones randomly bricking...
on the original message sounded more like you went to Unlock the phone, as in SIM unlock the phone using any of the tools available out there, and there has been already several people which had the same problem.
if you go back to Bell for an exchange, you better not use the word "unlock" rather use Swipe
as the message on the phone "swipe the screen to unlock"
there are no known issue about this causing the phone to brick.
if that is what happened to you, you should have started a new topic for people to help you, instead of hijacking the topic from the OP, as your issue is different from OP, the OP actually screwed up because he/she flashed the wrong ROM to the i9000
... anyways, Does it work if you reboot the phone?
I have rebooted the phone about 100 times. The phone crashed when I unlocked it to check a text I received. (not hacked). Has not booted up properly since. I have found many others with the same issue who have also not hacked/rooted/unlocked/ their phones.
Waiting on Best Buy to call me back. I am so pissed right now, I have been bragging to my friends and co-workers how awesome this phone is, one has already picked one up, I hope his doesn't brick too. Not recommending it to anyone anymore..
did you load a lot of MP3 to the phone?
can you boot into Recovery Mode?
in the recovery mode you can wipe the Cache and wipe the data
that should make your phone work normal again
it'll be best to open a topic to help you trouble shoot your interesting issue, as it's the first i've hear that you get a black screen after Swiping out of the lock screen
I can't get into recovery mode. I have tried every button combination I have found. I had about 2 GB of music on the phone. I also installed the Android SDK to try ADB, but since the phone is not in USB debugging mode it does not see it.

on the other topics relating to the 3 button not working.
have you tried the heating up method?
or the plugging the battery in, when all 3 buttons are pressed? (of course for this one you will need help from a friend, unless you are very skilled at keeping the 3 button on hold meanwhile able to slide in the battery in with out a 3rd hand)
Well..I bought this phone off a friend a while ago..was perfectly working and came with Cyanogen mod 7 2.3.2, and was booting and working perfectly, I plug it into my computer to charge it today and and it starts vibrating randomly at seemingly arbitrary times, so I restarted the phone thinking it was just a bug..and it no longer boots D: It stays at the LG logo for about 3 seconds and then just goes black. I can access and use the recovery menu via menu+power+volumeup but I have no idea what I need to do
Can someone give me a basic idea of what I can try? This is urgent, as this is my only phone D:
I am very grateful for any help I receive
Thanks
Kevin
H.u...h...It was the broken camera button. The phone came with the camera button jammed into the phone making it not work, was depressed, guess it randomly got jammed again causing it not to boot. after some pin picking the phone boots perfectly.
So there you have it kids, if the phone is not booting, check to see if the camera button is jammed
*phew*
Mods, please close but keep this thread as reference for other n00bs in need of help.
Hello guys. I have unbricked the D800 using "very partition method" and it worked, I have download mode again. Stupidly enough after I fixed it I applied "very partition method" again because I was trying to get my PC to recognize the proper drivers. After that the screen went dark but the phone is working properly, I have flashed a rom successfully, although I couldn't see anything on the screen I knew I was in download mode because the correct drivers where diplayed on windows device manager. During boot I see the LG logo for half a second and when I press power button I also see the screen for half a second (asks to insert sim card) but then it goes dark again. It boots up normally, double knock working, touchscreen working, makes sounds, charging etc. I don't know if this is a hardware problem, maybe a short circuit caused some damage on the motherboard? or if it is a software problem. But apart from that the device seems to be working fine. Any help appreciated
Hello everyone, I have had a Note 4 from T-Mobile for almost a year, until recently when I switched to an iPhone 7. The reason for this is because for the past month, my phone would start to randomly heat up quickly, especially on Snapchat. Everyday, the situation got worse, as the days passed by, the phone would reboot randomly, even when the phone is (rarely) cool! Recently, the phone heated fast right after boot, without the launcher even loading yet. All of a sudden, my phone rebooted randomly, and never booted past the Samsung logo ever again.
I have a lot of important data on this phone, like texts and videos, and I realized that I never had USB debugging on (which I always enabled for every Android device that I own). This is a pain in the a**, since now I can't copy over data through ADB or any software that requires it to have it enabled. I even tried other methods from software that would copy a temporary recovery file that would recover the data, but it would either not work on the phone, or other software would hang at 90%. Is there a way I can copy all my data, or at least enable USB debugging remotely? (meaning not through the OS, as it doesn't go through the Samsung logo) All help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

it's good that your phone is booting at all. You can't get past Samsung logo but you can copy your data through recovery. Power off your device then hold combination of three buttons - volume up, home button and power button - for a few seconds till it boots to recovery. When your phone is in recovery mode plug it in to your computer. From this point you are able to copy data from device memory and from external SD card easily.

Sorry man, literally nothing happens when connecting my phone in recovery mode into the computer. BTW, I am on a stock ROM with a stock recovery, with no USB debugging.
What about flashing a custom recovery like twrp that will give an option for copying data although in my experience it never worked so well so I ended up copying to the SD card internally instead. You can easily flash it if you can get into download mode.
Hallo, don't laugh, but one trick that always work is to put your phone without battery and back cover in a plastic bag, such as those we use to place food in the refrigerator, and put it in the freeze for 5 minutes, once you take it out place the battery and back cover and your phone will boot as it used before the problem, I am waiting for the results!

This sounds so stupid. But can work; I've done it with mixed results dealing with a bad phone. (Google it if it sounds too far-fetched to be true... you'll be surprised.) But the TWRP option -- if the doggone phone will talk at all to Odin (big if) -- is a very good one. Maybe freezer option followed by boot to download screen (if it will appear) and attempt Odin flash of TWRP?
Hi all,
my Gylaxy M30s rebooted itself yestarday, and now is stuck at the very first screen (the one showing "SAMSUNG Galaxy M30s" in the center and "Powered by android" at the bottom).
Vol down + power results in a reboot attempt (screen goes black, vibration), but the phone is stopping at the same screen again.
I am not able to turn the phone off.
Switching from Vol down to Vol up immediately when screen goes black does not enter recovery mode.
Vol down + power while charging sometimes leads to the charging symbol being shown on the screen, but without the percentage in the middle.
Charging over night did not help.
The phone cannot be connected to a Win PC.
Any suggestions what I can try?
Thanks,
Alchemist
Try volume down+volume up and while pressing those buttons, plug your phone into your computer. Tell me the results of that.
Nothing happening...
I mean trying those combinations immediately after using power+ volume down to reboot.
What did you do with your phone? Died suddenly when normally using?
Yes, phone died during normal usage.
Ah, I see - a screen comes up warning me that downloading a custom OS might harm the phone.
Also, the PC makes this "USB connected" sound when I then press Vol up, but I do not see a new drive connected, I think.
I am slightly optimistic now?
Press volume up.Then install Samsung usb drivers(search on Google)
Ugh, just wanted to do this, but now the phone is completely dead. No response to any button or charging. Will hang it on the charger for a few hours, but my optimism is gone...
OK, now it works again. I am in the screen with the colourfull stuff and the phone waits for some download.
Driver is installed on PC. Is there anything supposed to happen - the phone is still not accessible via PC, or is it?
Install Odin (search in Google 'odin samsung' and download)
Download stock firmware(android os) at www.samfw.com , after downloading you will see files like AP-M505xxxxxxx.tar.
Select, from the stock ROM AP-M305xxxxx.tar for AP in odin CSC-M305xxxxx.tar for CSC, and so forth then click start .
OK. All data will be lost, right? Is there some way to access the internal storage to rescue some files before flashing the new firmware?
Sorry to tell you that you cannot have data restored bad news for you sorry
Sorry. If you only see one file(make sure it is .tar or .tar.md5 file) after you extracted the .zip firmware, install it to the AP slot.
Any chance I could fix this issue with tools like dr.fone, UltFOne, ReiBoot?
I do not have any experiences with these - no idea if the just want to make money with desparate customers? ...
These could possibly brick your phones even more ( anyways flashing with Odin could also brick your phone). However, it in some cases can fix your device.
If you HAVE to have your data back and you don't mind paying, visit a service center and tell them: 'Hey my phone died and i HAVE to have the data back '.(I know, your warranty is expired probably, but they might still do the things for you with paying.)(if those stores closed during lockdown then I don't know any way to fix it.)
OK, another thing I have observed: The screen goes black after about 30 sec to 5 min when not charged - the shorter it was charged, the quicker the screen goes black. Buttons do nothing when screen is black. When reattached to charger, phone tries to boot and is then stuck at said screen - no button pressing needed for the phone to try to start. The longer the phone has been without charger, the longer it takes until the phone tries to boot.
Maybe it's just the battery that is dead - or would the phone with a dead battery boot normally when attached to charger?
If that is the case, open up your phone, put in a replacement battery, and try to boot up(yes, you need to. it will be a frustrating process.). Your phone could be having a faulty battery and nothing else, to cause this issue.
Im having the same problem mentioned above. The samsung service centre says to replace the motherboard which costs almost half the price of the actual phone..

Truth to be told: The guy in the repair shop opened the phone and wanted to change the battery - when he saw that water must have come into the phone, corroding the motherboard. So yeah, all data lost, but... no backup, no mercy. I now have set up a NAS for all computers and devices in our family... ;-)
If it really is a hardware problem then the quality must have been really bad.
