Well damn, seems I've bricked.

Tonight I flashed the leaked i9000 GB and when I was done I tried to flash to stock with Odin and thats the last my phone has done anything. My phone is completely unresponsive. Black screen with no response to USB or 3button or anything. So I'm going to go cause a rukus at ATT in the morning when they open and hopefully I'll have a nice new Captivate tomorrow lol.
Just thought I'd share.

USB Jig?

Well from my research it seems that since my phone won't do ANYTHING then its a bootloader issue so a JIG won't work.

Really? well I guess I'll head to radioshack and try that first. I'd love to not have to deal with ATT.

Hmm . Im on gb now. Havnt flash stock yet

Yup. Same here. LOL. Damned leaked GB. I think it's because it's a development snapshot, so it might not be very stable yet.. Or they DID lock the bootloader with it. I'm not sure. I find it weird, since I've flashed tons of crap, and this is the one that bricks my captivate. I just ordered a jig. Thank god my brother had a Captivate, and he's friendless so I'm using his phone for now.

You need to watch what you flash. Most newer leaks contain bootloaders that will brick your device if you try to flash back to something substantially older.

Yep I know. lol.

If it helps, when I flashed to the leaked GB, I couldn't access download mode with the new 3 button comb after I (noobishly) tried to boot into clockworkmod recovery from rom manager. I had to hold down both vol up+down as well as power, and the instant it turned off, I switched to holding down only vol down and power, which got me into download mode.

Having similar issues.
No matter what I try, I cannot get past the Galaxy S logo. I can send ADB commands but the download command simply reboots the phone.
Device manager also sees it as a Nexus S now instead of a Captivate, not sure if this affects how ADB sends commands.

well at least you can do something with your phone lol.

If adb sees as a nexus, it probably wasnt a real galaxy s leak

That's why it is nice to have a jig even if you never had a need for it, just one time it pays for itself.

that's what I'm hoping lol I'm going to head over to radioshack as soon as they open at 10 lol.

Yea flash stock works for me..just like any i9k rom

If the jig doesn't work, then you are gonna have to see if ATT will do a swap or something.

is there any reason to think that the jig won't work?

There is always that chance.

People have reported that it didn't work in that situation. Im pretty sure you need a jtag but it can't hurt to try.
I was hard bricked once after a bad flash so I was in the same position as you. I didn't have a jig at the time to test so I just brought it in to AT&T and said the ota update bricked it. They replaced it with a refurbished one with no questions asked.

[Q] (Help!) Hard bricked skyrocket?

Hey guys,
So I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with AT&T and I have it rooted etc. Today I tried flashing the MIUI rom, but was unsuccessful due to a message saying "Installation aborted". So I did as I read to do and wiped cache, Delvik or w/e, and then I reformatted the SDcard to redownload the ROM, however when I rebooted the next time it did not boot back up. Now I have the phone completely dead it would seem, I have tried the button combinations, etc to no avail.
What happened and is there anything I can do?
How can my phone be bricked if I never got to install a new ROM? I can't be without it for too long so any answers would be appreciated
Thanks,
Smernst

When you say button combinations are you saying you tried to get into download mode?

Sometimes download mode can work even if the screen isn't turning on. You should follow the instructions for download mode and see if Odin recognizes the phone.

Well there are symptoms of Brick See below and find ur category!!!!
appdroid said:
Brick → When used in reference to consumer electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). This usage derives from the fact that some electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) are vaguely brick-shaped, and so those which do not function are useful only as actual bricks. The term can also be used as a verb. For example, "I bricked my phone when I tried to modify its firmware.
Hard Brick → When your phone does not turn on at all. When you can’t get in to CWR/CWM Or Stock recovery. You are basically screwed. If its hard brick Here is thread that will help you!!!
Soft Brick → When your phone bootloops. When you can get into CWR/CWM. When You can use jigtag to get into download mode.

UPDATE:
I just went in to the AT&T store and they are sending me a new phone tonight and it should be here tomorrow!
Now, does anyone have a guide to recommend for getting, say, MIUI onto the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket? I don't know enough about the versions, mp5, etc to do it alone, and a safe guide would really help me
Thanks

MIUI rite now is not daily driver has lots of bugs and Here is link scroll down it will give you step by step instructions.

Also, if my phone is truly hard-bricked the AT&T guys that I return it to will not be able to tell that it is rooted will they?
Thanks

No att ppl are dumb and they can't even turn on the phone so they won't be able to say that it was rooted. When they ask you anything about rooting just pretend like you don't know what they are talking about.

[Q] (Q) Downgrade frm CM 9 back to gingerbread and bricked [Resolved, please delete]

I tried going back to gingerbread using Heimdall 1 click and it gives me a kernel error and failed. Now phone won't boot past the rogers logo. Any suggestions? No samsung screen. No green battery indicator when plugged in. Heimdall does detect the phone, and I've tried all USB ports and cords at my disposal. I use a mac so no access to odin. This is the first brick I haven't been able to get myself out of. Any help you would be appreciated

I am a gt i9000 owner, but can you get into download mode?
Sent by Santa Clause

If you can get download mode, then flash a gingerbread stock rom, even if it means you will lose root still do it, then flash a new rom of your choice, if you can get into download mode then you haven't got a brick

I can get into download mode.heimdall detects my phone. I tried both qksters and adam outlers 1 click. neither would take. If I upgrade heimdall version (as it tells me its out of date) it wont get through the initial connection to the phone. if I use with out upgrade it continues to fail on kernel download.
This is my second brick (first one was when trying to root it on my mac) First brick was fixed through odin at my work. Unfortunately I don't want to wait till monday to have a functioning phone

Hummmm..ok
Let's step back here does out prompt you for drivers?
....you might have to make a stop at your office..

Try different USB ports, I used heimdall yesterday to go back to gingerbread (so I could get the boot loaders) and I had the same problem as you, I finally got it to work with a different USB port and even then it kept failing...but I just kept trying and eventually it went through
(Pull battery, place battery back in, hold volume up and down, plug USB in-should put you in download mode...even if you can't see anything on your screen you can still enter download mode)

DOesnt prompt me for drivers. It detects my phone and says ready to flash. I see the download mode screen. so its not completey screwed. Just can't get past the rogers logo..

Alright, here it is:
I encountered the same problems yesterday, heimdall doesn't work when flashing back to stock from ics, from what I've found, you must use gtg's ultimate unbrick, the pit repartitions everything and also resets your binary counter (cha-ching! ). Once completed, your phone will reboot and be stuck at "...installing default apk files..." for a few minutes, don't panic, let it run its course. From there on, you can do the usual root/flash cwm deal. .

Agreed. On my desktop (quad core 6 gb ram, watercooled blablablabl) can't run heimdal nor Odin to save its life.
My netbook (single core atom) took me back from CM9 with Odin like it was nothing.
My 7 year old laptop (running Ubuntu) works great using Heimdal (just run the .jar file as an executable)

I've flashed lots of roms and never had any issues. Also looked through the forum and know the basics about getting back to stock. I'm no expert, but I have a decent idea what I'm doing. I do appreciate a forum you can ask questions though and have people help out when your stumped. I did what i could from the tools I have at my disposal here, and ran into some problems. I'm not yelling SOS, just asking for some tips as what I have tried hasn't worked. All the same I do appreciate everyones opinions and help they provide. THat's what makes this forum great.

why would you need to heimdall if you are on a rogers infuse? Isn't that for AT&T phones only?

I don't have recovery.. otherwise I certainly would have

From bricked to fixed.

I was caught in a boot loop and tried to re flash, when in my haste I forgot that Odin will recheck partition when loading .Pit files (pretty lame feature)
Still it was my fault for clicking start in haste.
**phone was partitioned, and would not go into download mode, it was stuck in a screen that said "Firmware update error, please restore in Kies", but it wouldn't connect to kies**
I sent my phone to XDA member Connexion2005
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1602851
I haven't got it in my hands yet, but he just told me it was fixed, I can't wait to get it back and leave it the hell alone (until someone makes CM7 or better work on it)
anyhow, this is out there so if you do what I did (DON'T) there's a solution. Set me back $50 plus shipping to TX from NYC but still, I didn't have to get a whole new phone.

Please elaborate. Not finding much info on this "uberfixit", but it sounds like it's some method of re-creating the stock filesystem that's flashable in odin?

I was putting this out there, because I'm not the only one that this will happen to.

yea it happens when you repartition, an uberfixit requires a complete dump of the phone and quite a bit of time, but will completely fix what you described
the problem with repartitioning is that it wipes the phone clean and then starts to reinstall everything, problem is neither one of teh tars has the full dump (we do it for the sake of saving actual bricks)
knowing someone who can jtag is great we have had a few epic 4g touches that crashed and burned and were saved via jtag.

it's all good, bottom line is I f'd up my device, but now its fixed.

um...yeah...
So i did the exact same thing as you... Been trying to find anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I haven't found a single place in my whole state that can fix the problem. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid sending it out for repair.

So how do I get this uberfixit?
I stupidly re-partitioned using Odin, also: I did not realize that Odin re-checked the check box -even after unchecking- when a new pda file was loaded. My bad. Totally though it was bricked until i was able to flash this stock gingerbread rom, but now kies says that my Blaze S does not qualify for upgrades... Did the re-partitioning do this?
I can no longer get to the recovery screen, although if I restart my blaze while connected to a pc via usb, it does allow the "re-install OS?" page to display, and I can get to recover from there: But absolutely no more access to the recovery "menu" which allows me to wipe cache/restore to factory/etc.

First, you flashed the wrong rom on your phone because the T959 IS NOT THE T959V. Despite the fact there is a pesky V there, people seem to think it's the same. That's like saying $10,000 is the same as $100,000, it's just an extra 0, it can't matter much.
-----
If you can get into download mode, then you're not that far bricked. If odin or the one click aren't working, I'd say it's a driver issue. The fact that posted right after hechoen gave you the link, I doubt you even read through the whole guide to make sure the drivers, etc are all properly installed.

If you were on Vahalla Final,then you had clockwork recovery on your phone
Try the Odin 1 click or Gremlin 1 click and go back to stock.
Your phone does not suck you just cant read and follow instructions.

Go back to thunderbolt they miss you over there

OP if you have solved this please feel free to report the post to a mod and have the thread closed so we can get past people helping you refix it, Furthermore this phone is much easier to root and install a custom rom. However you have to be comfortable using something like heimdall. Furthermore there is a reason Samsung took over as the flagship device from HTC for the nexus devices.
