samsung gio bricked? - General Questions and Answers

Sorry for my bad english
I got a Samsung GIO S-5660.
I installed Rom Manager and i installed the clockworkmod recovery.
But now the phone wont boot, dont start in recovery mode and not in download mode.
can somebody help me.
if i use a jig cable, will it work?

dude i have the same prob hope i get it solved i only have it for 3 weeks

Was there a choice for the Samsung Gio in ROM Manager ?
You have to make sure ROM Manager supports your phone before using it .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App

I had the exact same thing. My phone is now at the store, or it might even have been sent to a Samsung center already. Don't know as of now.
At any rate, the piece of **** that Clockworkmod is does not list any Samsung devices which must have served as a primary warning not to go through with it.
Nevertheless, I still did it. Phone turned off. Won't boot. Buttons won't work.

same here bricked samsung gio with clockworkmod
I just bricked my samsung Galaxy gio with the clockworkmod in the Rom Manager app.
I tried to flash clockworkmode to create a rom backup and then selected a random model from the list (there are only like 4 models there anyway!) No questions asked, no warnings , phone went stright to brick.
This app should produce some sort or error message or at least a warning if its not compatible with a model. As of now it works like brick your phone first, aske the questions later.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot

[Q] Samsung Galaxy ACE Hard Bricked... Please help

Hey !
I was trying out the ROM Manager and was checking out the roms available in the list, i accidentally pressed a wrong model and my device was flashed...now my phone is hard bricked, it doesn't even switch on in any mode.
i cam across this link for Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838942
here he shows how to get the phone into download mode.
Wanted to know if the same procedure can be used for a Samsung Galaxy Ace ??
thanks in advance ...
an exact thing happen to me.but i manage to get my pc to detect the phone by pressing power+volume up+home (i dont know what mode).odin detected my phone but the flashing stuck at setup connection..because it was not in downloading mode i guess...
same as above, help needed!
additional info: pc and odin detect phone bot not kies, on kies it keep saying connecting....and theres no display on the phone
same here wont do anything
same with me, my phone wont start even on download mode so you cannot use odin.. please help.
same case , i accidently pressed wrong phone version and my phone was 'bricked'
any help ?
Same happened here! Has anyone found a solution??
Edit: All right. Here's what I did:
1. Remove the battery from the Galaxy Ace
2. Connect the USB cable to the PC as well as the phone
3. Hold: volume down + home + power buttons all together and insert the battery while you're doing that (could be a bit tricky but it works)
4. Now you should be in download mode with "downloading" on your screen
5. Open up Odin v4.38 and flash your stock firmware (find it on samfirmware)
6. That's it! It should be fully working now (at least it did for me)
Tell me if it works for you guys!
its okay alr , i bring it to the service center it claims my motherboard spoil , it changed a new one for me
@ramy.s - i tried what you did but still nothing happens.
@donomeoww - how much did it cost you for samsung to replace your motherboard? i know jtag can be an option to revive the unit but sadly the model is not yet supported, lucky for samsung s5570 though they already have jtag support on 1st week of april.
same thing happened to me.
did different methods to bring it to boot, even the two-prong diy to force to turn it on, still no go.
in the end, store replaced the device...with a bnew one of course.
Did anybody successfully revived bricked ACE??
Found expensive solution...
google "riff box samsung galaxy ace"
Samsung SGA revived
hey guys, i bricked my phone last april then the only solution to revive it is by replacing the motherboard or by using JTAG. btw JTAG support for samsung was released last May 12.

It just corrupts your motherboard
So a hardware issue can't be solved from home
Only option I guess is Service Center
Hope you have warranty
ROM Manager is a tricky tool
It hard bricks your phone if you do even a step wrong !
Ps ....Im just cautioning everyone so that it doesn't happen in future to others....

Galaxy sl i9003 dead, please help

so since ive rooted and flashed a few android and symbian phones, my friend gave me his samsung galaxy sl 9003 and asked me to flash it to gingerbread, i choose official rom instead of cyanogenMod. i flashed device with odin v1.82 and when the phone shoud have rebooted, it did not, so i pulled out the battery and now i have no sign of life. no booting, no recovery, no download, even the hard reset button on the back does not help. is there any way that i can get this thing working? oh, and there is no radioshack store around, so i cant make a usb jig. please help me with this, i dont have money to buy him a new galaxy s
Same issue
Please please please..
I just had the same problem. Mistakenly and so stupidly I flashed my I9003 with I9000 stock.
Now phone is totally dead. I mean no recovery no download nothing.
Please help me out.
Is there no one to help?
Tried JIGing, combination keys (in various ways mentioned), hardware reset from back..nothing is working and phone is still dead.
Only thing left to do is JTAGing. Phone is still under warranty so don't wanna do it.
Will samsung cover this issue with their warranty?
Please at least help on that. I'm totally disappointed here and helpless.

[Q] Galaxy Y DUOS GT-S6102 Soft Bricked

I have a Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 that I believe is Soft Bricked. My son attempted to install a different rom to the phone, he thinks he selected the incorrect rom then installed. I am now trying to get the thing operational again.
I have installed a stock rom, plus several setup's but when you reboot it gets to Galaxy screen then goes no further, will not shut down unless the battery is removed. I have used Odin to flash the phone, it connects installs, I get a PASS from Odin, then phone screen shows that it has failed. I've red through lots of threads, over the last week & I now need help. It just appears that something is missing or incorrectly installed.
If this is the incorrect place to get help with this phone, can someone suggest where I can help?

Hello everyone! I Own a Samsung galaxy tab 2 - gt-p3100. I rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 11. Actually my tab was on Jellybean. Now, I can boot through recovery only. Cannot enter download mode.

I have all the drivers installed, OFFICAL firmware, odin and required tools on my laptop and pc. please help me to recover my tab back. Even if i lose data, it doesn't matter. Please tell me a way to unbrick. i dont know if its a bootloop or a hard brick or a softbrick.
