Sorry about this question, but I have a blank screen at my samsung captivate after doing failed flashing with odin. I have bricked my Galaxy? No matter what I do always show me blank screen (usb port, charging the phone, power on, etc)-
Thanks and wait any reply asap.
What firmware are you currently running? Where in the flashing did it fail? Provide more information please.
If you can enter download mode (Home + Vol Down + Power) then you can simply flash it again. In this case, your device is not bricked at all. If you cannot enter download mode, you may be in a bind, but please provide more information to see if we can help.
Also, this would have been the proper forum to post in.
Hi upichie, well, I've tested the gingerbread from this link "/posts/celulares/12869092/Personalizar-Samsung-Captivate-a-fondo_.html at taringa" and during the process of flashing is stuck at factory.rfs, I've tested 2 times and always get the same and I havent a failed download of the rom file.
Then after searching in google, I've read that I can test another rom, then I've downloaded the 2.3.4 from this link "/comunidades/soandroid/3821213/(Aporte)Actualizar-Samsung-Captivate-Android-2_3_4-+-Root.html at taringa" and stuck at cache.rfs a long time more than 20minutes then I remove from usb and then I've got the white screen at the entire display like a torch no matter what I do. Sorry by my english people .
try to access download mode by take out the battery and press vol up + vol down + power or vol down + home + power .when u can access to download model and flash again wit stock rom
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

wut?
are you running this on a captivate or a different model?
What happens if you hold down volume up, down, and power? Can you get to a screen with a yellow exclamation point? Or just a frozen AT&T logo? Details are invaluable. In particular, what phone is it?

only show AT&T logo and then turn off and on the same logo many times. The command to put in download mode no work any more
the phone is Galaxy S i9000
It says here the download mode for the Galaxy S is volume down + home + power
http://android.modaco.com/content/s...o-com/311349/flash-now-your-samsung-galaxy-s/
Did you try that? Also, try volume up instead of down, since I think I read the Galaxy S and Captivates may have reversed up and down buttons.
You'd probably do better off posting in the Galaxy S subforum however, or on Modaco, since this subforum is mostly full of people who have never even seen a Galaxy S.
OHOHOH this happened to me first download the samsung new pc studio for drivers and install then open odin(first) and plug phone in after that hold power button and volume up and down the screen should flash once then keep holding it should flash once again then let go of power and you should be into download mode (this happened to me before and i fixed it like this)

I make this short video of the problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8AIvalzBvY
Samsung Captivate
Did you try and flash a Samsung Captivate ROM on a Galaxy S i9000? From looking at your device it definitely not a Samsung Captivate. I would re-flash a i9000 ROM and it should fix your problem.
Turn off your phone. Hold down the Volume down button and then press the power button. The phone should be in download mode.
Download this firmware from here. http://www.multiupload.com/2TNDO4LQYW
This should fix your problem.
OP: Did you try the suggestion about releasing the power button when the screen goes black? On my captivate, I would hold power + vol up + vol down and it'd show a logo on the screen, then the screen would go black, and I'd let go of the power button while holding the volume buttons. Then I'd get to download mode. I'm thinking you could do something similar, maybe vol up + power + home and let go of power when the screen goes black? Or try vol down + power + home. Play around with different combinations.
trust me my method works sadly i cant make a vid (sent my captivate back) for another captivate

I know your method works, but the OP has a Galaxy S, not a Captivate. Buttons might work differently at the low level, especially if it's been flashed with the Captivate button mappings.
I try so many combinatios and no luck no can intro in download mode
this situation is killing me any other ideas
thanks
Afraid not...to my knowledge you're the only person who's flash a non-Galaxy S rom on a Galaxy S phone.
I don't know anything about the Samsung warranty, but could one assume that since they offer source code, roms, and flashing tools, they would cover problems related to flashing? Somehow I doubt it, but it'd sure be nice...

Maybe try the Galaxy S forums? Here or Modaco.
any one find a fix to this ?
When I had this problem on my Captivate heres what fixed it for me.
Pulled the battery to make sure it's off. Put the battery back in, hold both the up & down buttons, and then plug in the USB cable.
This puts it into download mode so you need to have the correct firmware ready to go.
Mike
Try "adb reboot download" , over and over again while it boots or when it's in recovery mode.
Maybe you can get through.
Hi everyone,
I've got a BIG problem
I have a Galaxy Ace. A friend of mine played with it and Since then the phone is kinda dead
When I press the On/Off button, a series of vertical color bars appear on the screen (filling 2/3 of screen) [See attached]
Screen reduces the brightness in 5 secs
Then nothing happens and phone does not respond to any key combination
When I combine volume down with power buttons, the same thing happens although this time the phone camera flashes once!
Using the Volume up button gives me two flashes!
By the way, Odin recognize the phone on a COM port, but I don't know what I can do with that?
I also tried ADB REBOOT RECOVERY command in Android SDK as recommended by someone in here. It says DEVICE NOT FOUND
Does anyone have any idea how can I restore the phone to a normal state?
Appreciate your help

any Ideas? I'm very worried about the phone
Try holding homescreenbutton and on key. Recovery menu should turn up. Then perform a hard reset
I just bricked my ace today and there was no way I was able to fix it, the closest I got was getting the device into a 'connecting' state in the samsung kies software but didn't got any further, no screen no nothing..
Eventually I went back to the store and they replaced it without asking too many questions, I told them it died while doing a factory reset.

Yes looks like the ACE still got problems, my friend's ACE also hangs alot.
My problem is that I can't see anything on the scree (see pic above) I dpn't know what state the handset is in!!!
Any one has a link to a recent firmware for ACE that works?
Weird, don't know if the resistor trick that works on the Galaxy S could also apply on this model ?

Rom manager? If so your phone is dead. Do you honestly think selecting software meant for another device will work? Rom manager does not support the galaxy ace, yet. You've now ruined the partitions and so far noone has managed to get a successful unbrick. Make up a bull**** story and hope you get the phone fixed in warranty. Tata.

You need to press VOL - first, then press HOME key without letting go of VOL -, then press POWER button. When you feel the unit vibrates you can let go of POWER button until Downloading mode is displayed.
hi,
i do c the android logo on d scree with the text message, odin can see the deivce on com5, but just stays at the line saying connecting to deivce. The phone it self is working, but i am not happy with the upgrade, so wanted to roll back. Please help me solve this problem. The rom i upgraded to was I9003JPKP5.
The mistake i did, i think, wast not to upgrade to kpe first and then come up to kp5, i directly did a kp5, misssed that part.
Please Please help.

you need to flahs xxkpe twice to avoid camera problem too.
Weird!!!!!!!!
Tell me the method using which you flashed the firmware. Give me all the steps!
I will tell you where you went wrong!
U need to switch the phone off to get to download mode.
Also XXKPH is a final GB release. Install that by first flashing XXKPE twice, then using the single XXKPH file as the PDA in Odin with nothing else.

Thanks a lot for you help. I really appritiate it.
Hi. I tried the method up there to go to download mode but so far I can't get there. It's so weird. I can go to the recovery mode but not the download mode. Are there any more methods to go to download mode? I press all three buttons for roughly 1 min but no vibration at all. after I let go the power button, it go to the startup and stuck there.
Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Hello
I am new to XDA

I was installing ICS using CM9
Everything was done as per instruction...
After I rebooted the phone..the phone has stuck on samsung logo..
I don't know what to do now....pls help me
Thanks

Try double flashing it, which means that you should go back into recovery and flash the zip file again. If that doesn't work try starting from scratch.

Just follow this guide created by qkster.

Follow the link I posted above or you can use Odin found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Follow all of the instructions on these posts. Either of these will work. Either of these links will completely reset your phone.
Hi,
I am not able to put the phone in download mode as it is stuck on samsung logo...
Nothing is happening beyond this....and phone cannot get into recovery mode...
Please guide me
Thanks

You shouldn't see the samsung logo when you are trying to get into download mode. You have to hold the two volume buttons and then plug a usb cord that is connected to your computer. Then you should see the download mode screen.
Hi
Just to see that I am doing right thing...
Can you give me a detailed instruction as to how to put infuse into recovery mode
Thanks
Divyesh
To put into recovery turn off your phone. Pull the battery out and put it back in. Then hold the volume up and the volume down keys at the same time. Then plug in a usb cord that is connected to a computer. That will put you into recovery.
