hello my problem is this, I wanted to update the telephone froyo to gingerbread, but I needed to first get into recovery mode, I was trying several agreed, but did not work, then I find information for how to enter recovery mode, i found a tutorial, explaining that many companies block to enter recovery mode, you first need to install a file to have the mode, by odin. I follow step by step tutorial, and odin showed all correct, then the phone went black, will not start, took the pile and put it back, and still does not work, I have tried several but none agreed,'s try the JIG but neither method worked, I think I have no choice but to take it to technical service, but my question is, if the phone has a solution, because it is dead. thanks for the help can give me.
i'm not 100% sure what you did, but it looks like you hard bricked your phone, if it does not even start up. where did you hear all of this stuff, btw? you should have checked the bible on how to do this stuff.

Whoawhoawhoa.
First of all, you don't need anything aside from ODIN to install Gingerbread.
Second, what did you do before the screen went black, and the phone would not start?
To get into recovery mode, you must hold the up and down volume buttons, while holding the power button.
Anyway, before trying the Jig, explain exactly what you did once you got the phone into download mode.
Remember, download mode is different than recovery mode.
Odin=needs download
Recovery=For CWM
Read the quickstart guides.

hello, I explain, I was reading a post that would tell me step by step how to install gingerbread, download odin 1.85, when I get to step into recovery mode, the phone usually only kindled.
then mentioned that some teams were locked and needed by odin Unlock it with these files:
adb
aries_P.SBL.tar.md5
reboot download
odin upload files and puts on the screen that everything was done successfully, but the phone was black screen, then disconnect and I want to restart the phone and it stuck.
not much like doing these things, and I think I'm paying for my mistakes, find information here on the forum and follow some methods like these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but none worked, this happened to me yesterday also left without battery Saturday night the entire phone and follow the steps above but does not work,
JIG use the method does not work,
this is the problem I have is that it is safer for a service technician, but you who know the subject, if you are under, I do not want the surprise to be told the service technician who is no longer available,
Thanks for your answers
I'm not sure I'm following you all the way, but when you say the screen is stuck, that means it is starting up, right? Is it stuck on the galaxy s startup screen?

I did this method to fix 3 button fix for download mode. Odin showed PASS and my phone refused to restart. Its shows a black screen and I had to remove the battery. Now, my phone doesn’t turn on!
Help me!
I did the same but from another source.
Works for me perfectly. Got the 3 Button Mode and flashed the JVQ.
Are you able to go into recovery mode. You mentioned a blank sceen.
Is the charging notification alive if you charge the phone??
If not the bootloader is gone.
Try to use the download JIG..... (USB Jig)
I can't even go to the recovery mode. There is no charging notification.
I have to use the JIG i guess
Anybody have the answer to this problem? The jig fix doesn't work with destroyed bootloader. I'll have to return my phone to Samsung for a fix.

Sadly it won't work with the JIG... so sad, I'm sorry for you.
The only way to recover it now is with a JTAG device, but it's expensive and you need soldering skills. Maybe you can find somebody that would do it for you.

Hey. Did you just flash something for the I9000 on the I9003?? Sad for you but your phone is totally bricked. Please read the FAQ before doing much to your phone.
Oh God, For this you need to realize despite the resemblance in names, The phones are actually very different in file structure, zimage is for the I9000 where as normalboot.img for the I9003. Chances are the dreaded service centre might get you a replaced phone, Just tell them Kies screwed up and pretend to be blonde about it. I hope your under warranty.
Then again, was there really anything wrong with the I9003 3Button Combo? It works 100%. You just need to time it properly, 85% it works. 15% is just long press or really short ones.
don't be sad....
Flashing 9000 boot code to a 9003 is an easy and fast way to hard brick your device.

From this, I learned that one minute of stupidity can ruin everything. I'm giving my phone to my dad who is going back to UAE this sept 21. I hope the samsung guys will replace the phone or repair it. I'll update the thread about what happened.
if you need ROM for i9003, just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
Success!
Samsung repaired the phone for me. Once again proved that Samsung WILL repair hardbricked phone at no cost under warranty.
Glad to know.

Hello,
I've got the same problem with this tutorial. But mine was for one galaxy 3.
What procedures you had to take to contact Samsung and send it to they fix it? What did you say as the problem of the device and the cause for stopping working for keep it under warranty? Please, explain me this, I'd be pleased.
ps: Samsung from Brazil
While I was flashing a ROM (Synergy1.3), my wife decided to move my phone to another table. When i looked at it a few minutes later,the screen was blank. Now it wont turn on at all. I had used that particular ROM before without any problems. My battery was at 90% when i started to flash. I have a terrible feeling i am bricked. Any ideas?

It's hard to brick a phone. Worst case, boot into download mode and Odin up the stock image.
If you can't access Download mode, you've most likely bricked as any research I've done points to it. If you've got insurance you can pay the premium, or send it to one of the JTAG services for repair (such as MobileTechVideos).
Just don't leave or touch the phone next time when you're flashing!
With my case it's hard to hit the buttons for recovery and download. I created across to get to them. Not what you're wanting to here. But here's a tip: if you can get adb to recognize your phone but can't use buttons to get into download mode you can "adb shell" and then "reboot download". That will cause the phone to boot download/Odin mode. Hopefully that will work and you can flash back to stock.

If you cant get to download mode or get adb to recognize when properly set up you do probably have a brick. What's happening to you with the warning happened to my friend on Sprint while accidentally flashing a ROM for a different phone. What he had to do was send it in to MobileTechVideos and got it repaired for around 60$. Samsung/Verizon wont likely fix them under warranty.
My only question is if you indeed were flashing synergy, how did a system ROM brick a device. o_0 And hell even if it was another phones ROM wouldn't our locked bootloader deny overwriting?

I think this might also work for you, if the battery charging icon comes on while your charging it then this might work. When you have it connected and the charging icon comes on put it in download mode(do not unplug it until your in download mode). Then use odin to flash it back to stock. It happen to me ones and when i did this it work for me, so i don't know if this will work for you. (Sorry for my grammar)
This is my first post at XDA. I don't know if I am in the right section. Kindly move the post if required.
Problem
1) I had my Optimus One running CM9.
2) It made my phone slow. So, I flashed it back to CM7.
3) It had some problems, so i was foolish enough to move it back to Gingerbread instead of restoring to CM9.
4) This is where my phone started acting strange. It was getting into a boot loop.
5) I then tried to fix it using some tools I don't remember, but since then it has been dead.
The phone is dead. The phone won't turn on. Not even in emergency mode. No response when charger or USB is connected. It just wont turn on.
It was about 4 months ago when I bricked my phone and had lost hope. I have now known it's hard living without an android.
Please let me know how i can fix this and revive my bricked phone.
Some of you may have a good laugh reading this. But I already have tears in my eyes.:crying:
I dont remember what all i did to my phone in order to brick it. So, please help in whatever way you can.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

It's an LG phone right?.. I also agree to Repair at the service center of your phone.. I recommend that because it's hard bricked.. When I was a newbie and accidentally soft bricked my galaxy pocket (bootloop) I bring it to the samsung service center I thought it will coast some bucks but it's free, they just reformat my phone for One hour and it's now fixed.. but now I use Odin for reformatting my phone using stock firmwares..

How to get into download mode? I dont really know if it would go into download mode.
Hmm , hopes are less but lets go on with the basics .
Did you try changing the battery ?
I don't think the download mode would work either but try doing the following :
Plug in the USB cable and wait for the charging screen to come on.
Now Press and HOLD the following Keys in the same order: Return Button, Volume Down Button, and the Power Button.
Let go off all the buttons when you first see the LG logo.
Then install cm9 again with odin .
If none works then you either have to go with a new phone or maybe a simple part of the phone has become dead . If it's under warranty get it replaced / repaired .
So I was running CM10 Alpha 4.4 and phone was running pretty well for the 24 Hours I had it installed, but unfortunately I couldnt do any nandroid backups or restores. Would always reboot near the end. Well I was told that I could flash the boot.img file from the alpha 4.3 version and that should solve the issue until the newer version is fixed. Anyway, i installed Heimdall on my mac, started it as root. Created the pic, then went to flash the new boot.img. The first come times i got handshake failures, but then i restarted the phone into download mode again for the second time and it finally started to move forward. I then got the following response:
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
GANG upload failed!
Ending session...

So it appeared that Heidmall had given up basically gave me the option to try again (aka, the start button was available again). The phone was still in download mode and appeared like it was still trying to do a download, so i left it be for about 10 minutes and still no change and heimdall wasnt doing anythign with it anymore. So i turned off the phone and tried to turn it back on to get it back into download mode again so i could try again. Unfortunately now the phone wont even turn on. I mean no responses at all that its getting an type of power or anything (aka, no lights). I took the battery out for 10 mins and then put it back in and still no luck. Its back on the charger, but I am worried that its dead. What sucks is that i just got this replacement phone in June after someone physically broke my old E4GT. =/
Any suggestions?

If you cant get into download mode with the key combo ( VOL- / POWER / HOME) then a Jig may be your only hope beside JTAG.
Since it sounds like its hard bricked, a JIG probably wouldnt work, right? I just dont want to waste time/money trying to get it fixed with that method if i should be going straight to a service provider that can do JTAG.
hi mate just an option
it sounds bricked if you hold down the volume up button the bottom button and the power button fallow the same steps in there to install a rom just dont use any zips just rebootyou can use CWM to do a recovery from a back up if not as a last resort reinstall the rom you are using what rom is it that you use im trying to find a good one but you could try to do the update again or use a pc try back up the files you would need then reinstall but hope i helpped please click the tanks button if you feel i helped.

Im not exactly sure if a jig will help you. There cheap to buy or make. I think its a long shot but who knows. How long have you had the phone and where did you buy it from? JTAG is $50 i believe. You could always try taking it to a verizon store.
Just got pointed out to me that I accidentally posted in the s3 forum when i have a e4gt. The local sprint store is replacing my phone though for only $35. Though their manager showed me her s3 and its pretty freakin sweet. With trade in and upgrade, I could get the s3 for about $140 after fees. Not sure if I am going to do it.
