I tried reinstalling the firmware but I crashed with an error ... the phone will not turn on .. I tried every combination of keys .. nothing.
While re-installed the original ROM, entered into emergency-mode and crashed with an error (p = 500). The cell phone is dead and the screen stays black.
I apologize for my English .. help me ..!!!
exactly like mine. return to service.
i think there is something wrong with this phone.
i;ve read on a couple of other forums and more and more come up with phone dead error.

Hello, I do not know how to help you .. My LG phone is at the center-service .. from about 10 days.
umm.. I had a similar problem. My phone was rooted and I had tried ROM Manager & clockwork mod. After running RM, the phone restarted and after the LG screen, a black screen comes up with two code lines and then nothing happens. Man, that was an *oh sh*t* moment for me! Sat in front of this site for about 10 hours, no help! Finally, went to the LG Service Center today. They promised me a new phone within a week so I'm happy!
Basically, I advice you to go to the service center.
Good luck!
Man, this happened exactly to me.

Hi .. all under warranty?
But I have been more unlucky than you .. because I brought the phone to the service-center for about 10 days .. but the service center re-opens after the Epiphany (January 6, 2011) ..
and I'm not sure if I have adjusted, or not ...
Happy New Year to all

Hey.. Happy New Year to you too!
By the way, I'll be getting a new phone on the 6th of January only, at least I am hoping to get it by then. They said it would take about a week. Fingers Crossed! Take your phone to the service center as soon as it re-opens and just don't let them know that it was rooted. If they ask what happened then just say that you tried to upgrade to a newer firmware or something like that. And also, keep all the accessories (box and other stuff) ready with you!
I think I'll be doing the same too if I cant get it fixed by Monday. This sucks btw.
i had the same problem at start
yo phone is bricked!!
##solution
remove the battery
put it back
boot in emergency mode, i guess [(back or home)+(volume up)+(power)] hold all 3 buttons for some time bout 5-10 secs
connect yo data cable
open LG software updater[KDZ] -> used to update phones firmware
then select the kdz update file ->eg. v10b_00
thats it!!
didnt workout for me...it says phone not found

Take this for what it is. One person with a stock captivate phone who had problems.
He claims he didn't stop the update half way through the process or anything like that.
the latest software update from at&t bricked my ****ing phone. ***** i talked to through online at&t chat said it's the manufacturer's fault when it's really not. who do i contact to replace the phone?

He was asked if this update included 2.2...
i have no idea. i think it was just a gps update. the thing is i'm running a completely un-modded phone. this is ****ing bull**** if i have to pay money for something that samsung/at&t ****ed up. it's completely bricked. won't boot, won't power on, won't even charge. tried reseating the battery and sim card a dozen times and i tried doing the volume buttons + power button boot thing and it's just ****ed.

Updated my Captivate and it’s working great. I have heard of those that cancel in the middle of the update could experience problems – some even claim it bricked their phone.
so bro, tell us the truth.. Did you turn off ur phone or cancel the update mid way?

i saw the thread. i dont think there's anything i can do. it won't boot into recovery or download mode. it's like completely dead.

i never said it was forced. i read a post about froyo maybe being available so i clicked the 'software updates' thing and it said an update was available. it downloaded and said it was going to reboot the phone to presumably install it. the phone rebooted to a white screen with a blue loading bar and said 'update failed.' now it no longer powers on or even recognizes being charged.

I can attest to the update bricking. I did cancel the download half way to turn on wifi and figured it would be simply restarting the download, but instead it started installing what was there and it stated it was going to restart so I let it and then nothing happened...tried taking the battery out and tried getting into download mode to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?
Yeah call att. Sorry bro looks like its dead dead

He spoke to the wrong person then and should call back. Mine is broken also, and it's past the 30 days, so all I could get was a refurbished one. Better than nothing. I'm never doing an OTA update again. Flashed my phone upwards of 20 times and if something messed up I could alway reset to download and re-flash.

This.
I went to the warranty and repair center in my area (dunno if everyone has one?) and they have ordered a new (refurb?) captivate for me. As long as it works and isn't too beat up, I don't really care. I'm just sick of this E63. lol
is the internal 16gb an internal memory card? Maybe if it is, you can pull that out and rebuild the whole OS of the phone through another source such as a card reader.
I tried the update on my phone. It's rooted and set up for sideload as well as a few other hacks.
However, I only bought my phone about 3 weeks ago. The update has failed 4 times for me, then i checked the existing firmware on the phone. It's already at I897UCJH7.
Take it for what it's worth.
Mine is totally stock and it was also bricked last night. I tried everything to fix it but it is completely dead. I tried the update last night and didn't interrupt it at all. The progress bar made it to 50%, stalled for a minute and then gave a message that the update failed. It tried to restart and it went completely dead. I've tried using Odin, but nothing happens. sin
I also called AT&T and was initially less than pleased after I was told to call Samsung for a possible fix. I told CS that I didn't buy the phone from Samsung and that I wasn't calling them, since it was an AT&T problem. I finally got someone to authorize a return and my new one should be here in a couple of days, but the fact that this thing was totally bricked so easily because of an official update is ridiculous.
The only updates out there is JH7/2.1. Bricking phones while OTA update to JH7 is nothing new. Just check all the JH7 threads. Stay away from OTA updates for now.
You won't get 2.2 OTA update until weeks after it is talked about all over the place.

way to revive a several month old thread...
Hello Everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy R, I bought it a week ago, I haven't rooted it, and have no intentions of rooting it in near future. 2 days ago, the phone suddenly got switched off, and wasn't booting up.. and after trying 3-4 times, the problem was still there.. Then yesterday, again, the same thing happened, and the phone did not boot back up again. Can you please tell me what can be the problem? I have loads of apps installed and really need help regarding this problem my phone is facing.
Thanks in advance!
It could be some hardware problem with your device. Do you still have the warranty?
Have you tried an hard rest to see if the problem will disappear? (you will lose all your data thus..)
Ya i have full warranty. I wanted to clarify one thing, this problem occurs only during the night. I am saying this because it has happened two nights in a row..
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
During the night? Do u charge your phone normally trough this period?
I still suggest to try an hard reset first, if nothing change, luckily, you still have the warranty.
I went to the service center, they re-installed the firmware, and now the phone is working fine.. I guess..
If it is connected to a charger during that time, it could be related to some over charging protection.
The Phone, connected to the charger or not, automatically switches off on its own. Today I went to the service centre again. they tried to re-install the firmware again, and came to a conclusion that the motherboard of the phone needs to be replaced. :'(
I am really disappointed!
Hey i also have the same problem with my samsung galaxy R i9103 . Earlier it was switching off and it only booted once i removed its battery and then placed it back again . But about a week back when i got up i found that the phone was switched off and didn't start no matter what i do . I took it to sevice center and they are now in the pocess of eplacing its mother board . Keep me updated about your phone.

Exactly my case! I will get the phone back, today. They have replaced the motherboard, lets see what happens now..
So, did u get your phone back, or is it in the service centre?

Since, Galaxy R was released to compete with LG Optimus 2X, now that LG have discontinued 2X, there is no reason for Samsung to compete at the same price point and subsequently have discontinued Galaxy R.
same problem
Same situation, hard reset procedure does nothing. Pressing volume up, power and home key. How long should you be sitting like that?

Guys, i've seen alot of threads about boot looping and Randomized rebooting. i too am a victim of this error as well. it started one day withing the first week of april, when i left my phone on a table, then when i was going to get it, it was on the bootanimation.... so it was weird. the next encounter a day after, my phone did it again, but it was on my pocket at that time. it kept goint till 2 weeks later, i got my new laptop and now i can reflash to stock. when i flashed it, nothing happened the problem was still there. took me another 2 weeks to bring it to the service center since it was far from where i live. within the 2 weeks, the problem got worse. the phone said "usb storage unexpectedly unmounted then, poof. bootloop. i didnt see the go launcher's home anymore... aaaand ODIN no longer detects my phone when i plug it in... when i sent it to the service center they first thought it was just a software/firmware problem... but when the tried flashing to stock, they got an error. he said that it was a main board problem... so they'll need to take it in to change it...
i made this post so people can talk about the problems related to this. and when ever random reboots, and bootlooping happens and is not fixed by flashing to stock, then dont bother flashing it... BRING IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE SERVICE CENTER!!!
i see your from phil. what city you came from? me too im in bulacan. Where is the service centre of samsung here?

Hey,XDA Developers...
I bought about month ago new LG P500 Optimus One. In it was gingerbread 2.3 - so today... Was going in beth room - Phone was with me. There was hot... Ok after I was going to check time... Wanted to unlock Phone but I see that it's not moving! So I understood that my Touch Screen is broken maybe or what... But keys are working like - power,back,home,search etc.
I tried to take out battery and put it again but it doesn't worked.
After I flashed my phone with KDZ to 2.2 <> Didn't worked.
Flashed back to 2.3 <> Still didn't work!
Now I will try to take out battery for some hours and then try again!
Help me guys... I'm worried about my phone...
Thanks.

Just brought a month ago? I am sure it is still under warranty. Ask LG service centre fix for you then. Trying to flash the KDZ yourself will void the warranty.
Actually happen to me before. But i factory reset my phone and poof the touchscreen worked again.

people like you have to be in jail, why almost any people who have android device and dont know nothing, i mean NOTHING of update firmware on PC or whatever do sh*t all the time?! really...
and then they think come to XDA and ask everytime the same and people have to do all the job for you because you are a noob and brick your phone for yourself...
idea: go to a mobile shop who do repairs and pay for the job and dont try to fix yourself, i am sure you will broke even more the device if you try to fix by yourself!!!!!
