bricked, doesn't boot anymore - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, accedently did a format sdcard (the internal) and now the screen stays black.
Tried the usual keys, but it doesn't do anything.
Anyone got a suggestion?
Expect sending it to samsung.

AW: bricked, doesn't boot anymore
An sdcard wipe shouldnt break the phone at all cause it will never touch the system...
Can you get into recovery or download mode?

There's no way you can brick a phone if sd card is formatted. Try to enter recovery/download mode.

did you press power button for longer than 8 seconds for 2 times ?

The internal storage, not external.

Didn't know that one, but no response of the phone.

Take your battery out for like 5 minutes then put it back in and try to boot or try to go to download mode

and what is the reaction if you charge the phone ?
Did you extract the battery and put it in again ?
And later tried to reach download mode again ?

- Charge phone
While not succesfull
- remove the battery
- try to go to download mode (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Download_Mode)
end While

next time check the recovery also and flash stable recovery.
It helps a lot to prevent many unknown things.
Happy flashing.

See response in other thread:
If you are 100% sure you cannot enter download mode you really have a problem. Did you try checking the battery? And if you are 100% sure - search the forum, there's some posts about using a JIG to fix it, but most seem to have gone back to Samsung afaik...
What did you do to get your phone in this mode?! Give is some more info on what happened...

Try removing the battery and charge cable for a while (at least 30 minutes or so). I've not heard this happened before... and try charging with another cable and/or with another charger (for instance a laptop or some other usb device)...

Never install mods, addons, ROMs, kernels or anything made for whole Another phone.
Yes, that's the problem. I'm very sorry to tell you but you just destroyed your phone's boot.img by installing wrong one. And the wrong boot.img wont let you do anything on your phone. There's no way you could enter to recovery or download mode or anything.
I have no idea about the JIG thing but when I hard bricked my phone, I took it to the reseller and got it fixed for free of charge
Is there a golden card method
Any idea if there is a golden card method to create an boot image to let the phone start again

Your phone is kind of dead now. You can't push a boot image to it 'cause computer doesn't recognize it properly. Bricked means your phone is just as useful as a brick. It wont turn on in any way and there's nothing else your phone would do.
The JIG costs only 2$ , if that doesn't get u into download mod then u can only revive ur phone with JTAG .

JIG on ebay...

My advice is go see if u can repair it for free (warranty) , if not u can try the JIG to get u into download mode so u can flash via Odin (there are a lot of clips about JIGs on youtube) , if all that doesn't work JTAG is ur only hope (also there are videos about it on youtube).

Better Soluction
It ocurred me and I go to Movistar Shop and I said that it doesn't boot and I don't know anything and they give me another one with the guarantee.
Try and if not try with JIG ,
me 2, think you installed the wrong rom on the wrong phone..MIUEI rom is not out for the GT I9001, when i bricked my phone =1 medecin= www.broodplank.net (and check how to unbrick your I9001-article)
As the partition layout and even the filesystem is totally different I think you wiped away your bootloader and maybe also radio firmware. If this is your actual situation, it is ver very VERY unlikely you will get your phone alive with a jig. Don't know the partition layout of a 9000 but even the hardware is completely different. Not nucb hope left, very sorry.

Take the back off, pull the battery. Put it all back, turn on the phone holding the POWER and the -VOL to boot into recovery.

Boot loop - neither recovery nor download mode possible

Hi,
got a bit of an emergency here. Maybe someone got a useful hint for me?
I've been running X-Power 3.0 ROM with Perseus kernel 32.1 so far and just finished undervolting the kernel via SetCPU - ROM booted up fine afterwards.
But today I decided to give Perseus 33 a try, and after flashing the TAR with ODIN mobile my phone won't boot again - it shows the "Galaxy S III" screen, blanks the screen again and then restarts again - I can't get the phone into recovery or download mode
Any hints on how to solve this one?
try pulling the battery out and trying to get into download again. I'd that doesn't work, you have to get a usb jig, that has a small chance of working.

Thanks for helping. I somehow got into recovery in between, but I can't tell why - AFAIK I did it all the same way times and again before, but now I was able to restore a CWM backup :good:

Hello,
I had the same problem with another device. What me helped was:
1. Using a USB-Jig - then Downloadmode went on on its own
2. Flasing CWM- Recovery (with Odin)
3. AFTER THAT put out Battery for some seconds (10s)
4. CWM- was accessible
5. deleting cache and dalvik, (and did a factory reset but think that wasn't the point),
and bootloop wad gone.
Hope that helped,
Quantenkosmos.
Thank you this thread is how many months old .

You do not have that Samsung logo when you try to power on phone? Do factory reset if you can, in recovery.

So you can go to download mode, but can't turn on the phone or go to recovery coz you only get the vibration, which suggest (ofc, lol) the phone won't even properly boot?
Everytime my battery is near zero and the phone shuts itself down and near total death, that's what happens. It just vibrates but nothing happen. IMHO, I don't think that you're facing bootloop or anything.
In your case, you said that you charged it and by the time you wakes up it's a goner. I would recommend trying a new battery for now. Your current one might be dead as in broken or something. Trying a new battery won't hurt.

I have the same problem, but a little different. I've thinked that was battery problem as you, i've bought a new battery, but nothing is changed. I was running JetMod. When my phone has low battery and than shut down i try to recharge it but doesn't work anything! if i try to turn it on it only vibrates (with black screen, nothing happened). The only thing that can i do is go to download mode, but for a few time becouse after 10 sec it shut down, so i think that it has not been charged.. I observe, when it was alive, when i try to charged it, that not many time he started recharging, i don't know why.. i've tried different plugs or with computer but it works only when it wants to..

I had same issue when i changed governor: cable plugged but battery don't charge ( i think )
Going to sleep, wake up and founded phone discharged.( when power up i had black screen and little vibration )
Remove battery, wait, insert battery, plug power cable, and wait if you see the battery logo charging.
Then Boot your phone.
If this not work ask to Samsung assistance

Rolled to ondemand and interactive governer and problem go away.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini GT-S5570B died after Cyanogenmod 7.2.

I was using that rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347, and after install Cyanogenmod 7.2 (http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=tass) on my phone, i click "Reboot system now" on recovery mode (Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.8), and they just dont turned ON again, and now, NOTHING WORKS.
I tried to remove battery, put battery, i tried all the keys combo on the phone, and they even turn on the display, only the mode thats working is the RAMDump (Arm9), but still with the screen off. How i now thats rampdum mode is working? I connect the phone on my pc through the USB and pressed Home Button + Power Button + Volume UP Button and my PC recognize him, but i think there are nothing i could do with ramdump mode. I saw that post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688137, but my device is different and maybe theres something more wrong, and i don't know...
Anyway, THANK YOU GUYS. Hugs!
