Download mode, recovery? (Power it on with volume down + Home + Power) If you get download mode, search topic How to use odin in our dev section. And reflash your stock, downloaded from sammobile.com.

How can a official update brick your phone?
As far as i know this only happens when you are using custom Rom or Kernel right?

You didn't tell us did you have stock or custom system bofore. If custom, this problem is caused by that I think. If nothing shows up probably you will have to go to service.

If a phone is not entering recovery or download then Using usb jig is it possible to enter download mode ??

the same problem happen to me
and u have to go to the service
the problem in boot file

New software update

Today I get a software update notification on my i9070P. But when I started update, nothing happened. Can it be a sign of JB?

Oh yea. I see that new firmware is added to sammobile.com. Is available to see changelog? But it is strange, that they release an update in December and JB is coming in January.

Maybe they think somebody will use GB after JB update. My firiend still use GB on SII... He say that he likes it more.
Lol... a few days back I simply tapped on software update and I got a notification that an update is available... it was around 17 mb (so obviously it wasn't JB...) anyways I agreed to download and install the update and it almost soft bricked my phone.. i realised this happened because my phone was rooted and I was using a custom kernel.....
Long story short, if anyone else tried this update could you please tell me what that particular update was about??

I'm using Stock ROM with Stock kernel and rooted. I pressed update and nothing happended. I pressed one more time and it shows me that no update is available.

Someone got problems with new update. Scrolling is wierd somehow. Look our forum for that. I will wait for JB, untill then I use JetMOD.
This new update screwed up my Google play store..... It shows cannot load screenshots and the pics won't open...... Can't even update an app
People say I'm crazy, but the voices in my head say I'm just fine.
Good thing I didn't update....

The update it's ok. Maybe some lag but nothing to disturb you. Probably Samsung are preparing the phone for Jelly Bean.

[Q] Rooting method

What if i follow that method?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAsYMO0cIxg
i know that the advance is not listed, but the combination vol+, middle, power works and the zip file contains only superuser after all...
does the flash counter will mark +1 in this case?

This method is not working for our phone. Superuser is not the problem, you can install it via Play store. Look in bin folder. That provide root. If it work, we wouldn't bother with this method we use... As I know it couldn't be flashed in stock recovery.

Hm, I do not know.
I recommend using the method found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985199
Samsung recovery will not install an update.zip without Samsung's cryptographic signature.
Trying will not increase your flash counter.

yeah seriously! ppl just read "s advance" and flash blindly!
I9070 & I9070P seem to be quite different. There is much development for I9070 and little with I9070P. In addition to I9070 bins bricking I9070P devices, there are no recovery programs such as CWM or TWRP for the I9070P. The difference between the two devices may be enough to warrant independent discussions or separate threads.

[Q] unable to flash to gingerbread

I installed jelly bean , but I want to go back to gingerbread
I downloaded the update package from samsung updates
however there is some problem, iam stuck at boot screen
I cant clear catch or reformat too
I did exactly how I done when installed jelly bean as indicated
I don't really understand what you meant by "inst as indt".
Try flashing it again using the guide. If that doesn't work reboot in recovery and do a full wipe or try to recover from a back up if you have one.

It was the I9070 JB which was upgraded by a stupid mobile repairer. I tried downgrading it to GB for I9070P and it was successful. But when it re-booted, it never went past the start up screen for 15 mins and then when I tried removing the battery and starting again, it never responded. Now I'll have to send it to Dubai to get it repaired, since it was purchased from there and India Service center doesn't cover International Warranty.

why did you flashed it on a software meant for I9070P?.. that is for NFC model..
it should be the only I9070.. you had it "hard bricked"..
eventhough they are similar in form.. their software are different..
JTAG service is your last hope or service center..
just act as the phone died and you had nothing to do with it.. you try to get warranty..

If in any way, the update process was disturbed ( loose cable etc.) I'm sorry to say your phone might be hard bricked. If you can enter download mode it's just a soft brick and you can just flash the firmware.
Otherwise you can goto the service centre, see if they will repair it under warranty. Or try something like USB jig.
