Samsung Galaxy bricked?

Hello guys.
I flashed the galaxy S on Odin with no files attached.
Now the phone will not respond at all. I have tried everything but, there is no lights or reaction as ever. Is this fixable?
I have ordered a JIG but i doent have to much expectations.
Regards Morten

It doesn't even turn on? Try taking the battery out for a few minutes.

Yes thats correct. It happend after flash.
Starting to think if the battery stopped working.
There is no sign of life at all.
The battery was fully charged.
Have tried your suggestion. With no luck.
Edit: Hmm, i have tested the battery now and it shows 4 volt between + and -.
So that shouldnt be the problem.

Is your phone can get into Download Mode? if can then can be safe

Dear God. Why did you do that in the first place? I didn't even know such a thing is possible
Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

Yes I know it was stupid. I had a PIT file connected.
And didnt know what i was doing. I couldnt dream of
the program would flash over bootloader.
But i learned and have to pay the price for it.

You can fix it with usb Jig or there is a tutorial for Captive that you can use on your phone and put it in download mode. I think for that you jave to install linux, hemindail and java. Also, you will need to install android sdk for adb reboot recovery command Search the forum, the fix is already there

Take out battery and hold 3 button combo for download mode. Than insert battery and it should throw u to downloading.
How is it possible to flash nothing? Doesn't odin warn you if you got "nothing"?
Should be fixed in next ver.

Download Mode "bricked"
Hi,
My Download Mode is working (3 buttons function), but the Win7 isn`t recognizing as Odin...(I`ve already tried to resolve USB drivers troubles but I think that is not the right option...other Samsung Androids are working weel)
So I am not able to flash anything trough Odin...and the CWM 3.0 show me many "E: unknown moun/ storage"...it`s impossible to restore or install an update.zip for example.
What can I do?

I believe HARD Brick

Please don't tell me it I am an idiot and it is found else where
I was upgrading my fiance S5570 so I installed CWM using the odin method.
then it didn't work so I did an idiot thing where I downloaded ROM manager and installed a wrong version of CWM.
I Had BLACK SCREEN DEAD mobile
but now
when I pres vol up + Home +power
odin reads the mobile but whenever I try to flash anything it stops at setup connection forever
Please help and if you can give me step by step guid

why you de-motivate other person, when you don't know anything
rom manager forced the mobile to go to recovery mode and when you have wrong recovery it will not boot
take out battery for sometime put it again then press volume down home power you will be in download mode then just flash the firmware

First of all thanks for help everyone..
but i cant go to download mode..
however when i press vol up+home+power odin can read the phone.
i tried to pres download mode combo the insert battery
tried it when usb is connected and not
even one time connected from both sides and once from one side only

do you have a USB jig
and what combo you tried to go into download mode

Not trying to be pessimistic, but if the jig does't work, ur only option will be service centre. Gud luck bro.

I made the usb jig it worked fine on my galaxy note. but didnt on the mini.. I believe I need the jtag now which I will not buy it because it is expensive . hard to use. and I am not sure it will work..
so I will go to the service centre.
do u know what shall i say.. that electricity went down while upgrading or what..
and what do you expect to be the response. phone is still in guarantee

[Q] Help Needed in Unbricking Samsung Galaxy Pop (GT S5570)

Please help me out on this....
(Sorry if I posted in wrong section)
I successfully upgraded my Pop to gingerbread 2.3.6 and rooted it. It was working fine for some days after which It got messed up
when I updated the titanium backup app from the market. The app asked for some su permissions and suddenly the screen went blank.
After that I realized that its a hard bricked. The screen is blank whatever I do. I searched for many tutorials to unbrick it but no fruitful results yet.
I tried a lot to enter download mode and after several attempts luckily the three button combo worked and it got shown in ODIN on some port connected.
When I started the process of firmware upgrade it gets stuck in "Connection Setup Phase".
Does USB Jig method is worth trying in this situation ??
Pease tell me the solution of it. I am attaching the screenshot of the ODIN. Please Please Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance...

what is on your mobile screen download mode or something like phone--!--computer picture
ok whatever try this
close Odin, turn off mobile, start Odin and put files turn on mobile in download mode connect the cable and start flashing
PS : phone--!--conputer shows on the screen when upgrade get fail, not to worry it is just like another version of Odin
until you can light up the mobile its not a hard brick
I will suggest you to use firmware which are available without bootloader as you were previously on gb, just to remove the risk of hard brick

nothing on screen

First of all delet all drivers on pc and install them new, just to be on the save side! Then get firmware for your country i suggest you to use 4file pack no the 1file ones! Then get odin v4.38 put your device in download mode and conect to pc put all 4files in the right place in odin and start flashing!! It should not take longer then 6min!! Let odin finish when you see blue pass disconect and be lucky!!

Have you tried using a different port? Or a different cable? Also, try unchecking the reset time option on ODIN.

USB jig only boots mobile in download mode
but you are saying you can sometimes boot in download mode so no use of USB jig is required
you should take it to samsung

Weird. I dont know how you could brick your phone with titanium backup app.
Your battery could be dead. Charge your phone for 2 hours.
Then try using Odin using a different USB Port.

Nop I charged my battery full with another battery charger before using ODIN but still the problem persist.
I think I have to take it to Samsung service center but my warranty is over so I think they will take a huge amount
to fix it.
Anyone still having some idea on this...
Pease help...

Well but you're right, just try it

Exactly happened to me I flashed hyperion8 and my phone is bricked how you described.
I phoned samsung today and told them my phone went off in the middle of a call and will no longer turn on(DO NOT MENTION FLASHING OR ROMs), tried different battery, tried pluging into charge, tried pluggin into computer, tried different charger, phone has never been dropped etc etc
They sending out packaging so can send to Samsung care, they guy said expect it to be returned 7-10 days later.
So happy days

Same here I bricked my phone ....don't remember exactly how gave it ssc didn't mention flashing and stuff and they are noob enough to fix phone for free so having warranty works in the advantage of flashing and all ......luckily my mini had two years warranty but it got over about a year ago and still mini is my main phone so cheer up and give it yo ssc

Does your phone still has a warranty?? If it still has a warranty, you can try to bring it up to the Samsung Service Centre..
By the way, excuse me, do you know what the differences of Download and Recovery mode is??
You said that "Only have response when i try to get it in recovery mode , (vol up + home + power) nothing appears on screen , but odin detects my mobile", what does it mean?
If you want to flash a stock-rom via Odin, just boot to download mode, not recovery mode..

S3 mini hard bricked

Hi guys, i bricked my s3 mini, i mean i try out to install a custom rom and i failed, after this my phone start starting in recovery mode and cant do nothing anymore in recovery mode because i changed it aswell, after a little research i've try to flash with odin custom rom and my phone failed once again, i take off the battery and phone won't start anymore in any mode(recovery/download/normal), i've heard its a hard brick, i've bought a usb jig, the mail with the jig will come at my home in few days and i dont know what to do to bring it back in life, i mean if the jig will work with samsung kies i can format the whole system and bring back stock rom and recovery mode?
