WOW!!!

WOW i bricked my phone last night and i couldnt get to download mode and i tried all the methods here in the forums still wont get to download mode!
so yea basically this post will help you if your phone wont get to download mode and your phone keep getting stuck at the atnt screen or galaxy s screen.
all you have to do is open one click root while your phone is stuck on atnt screen or galaxy s screen and just click one root and boom! it will get you to clockwork recovery! (Note you should have clockwork recovery or else it will get you to stock recovery)

WOW!! Your title had me believing all the rumour threads were true for a second. I thought you got froyo.

If you can get to the AT&T or Galaxy S screens, you're not bricked. You can use ADB at that point. As well, the three button SBL fix would be loaded and usable at that point.
Semi-bricked would be the computer - ! - phone screen. Really bricked would simply be a dark screen. Thus when you are really bricked, the hardware solution from the other thread that you said wasn't necessary will be... How can I say it?... Necessary.

SGS 4G won't boot up

I got a little happy last night and tried tinkering with my SGS, and ended up causing it not to boot up. It currently just sits at the Samsung Galaxy S 4G logo screen, so now I'm just trying to go back to stock and start over.
I do not have odin (still not really sure what it is), but I do have CWM and I've wanted to flash this rom; but towards the end of the thread, some users say not to flash this and to use some other rom with odin instead.
Also, this rom won't even flash in CWM. It just says "installation aborted."
Thanks

I just tried flashing this with Odin, using these instructions, and I just got the bricked screen......
Can someone please help me.

recover a nandroid backup...
If you can't figure out Odin, but can boot into recovery, reinstall packages to get into CWM. Then you can restore to your last nandroid backup.

I can no longer boot into recovery or download. I'm stuck at the screen with the phone and computer with the yellow triangle in between. Odin still recognizes my phone when I plug it in (I think), but that's it. Also, I don't understand what there is to "figure out" about odin anyway. I followed the directions exactly, and the flash simply failed in Odin and when I rebooted, I got stuck at the bricked screen.
Looks like a trip to T-Mobile is in order...

YOU DID NOT BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!
when i pulled the cord on my phone during download mode and odin it gave me the same screen as you
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT ITS BRICKED
your computer will still recognize your phone and SO WILL ODIN!
that screen is basically another download mode
heres what you do:
download whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
go into download mode like you normally would and plug the phone in
you will notice that odin still recognizes your phone
in odin ONLY press the PDA option and then choose whitehawkx PDA_KD1 file
flash and wait for reset.... then BAM your phone has the new kd1 rom and its not bricked
i promise you the screen your getting doesnt mean a brick, ive seen that screen like 10 times throughout my flashing days

^ omfg man, you seriously just saved my entire Sunday. I have no idea why it didn't work like this when I first tried it, I literally went through the same steps.
Thank you so much.

yea you need:
Odin
any sgs4g rom like whitehawkx kd1 deodexed
take your battery out, put it back in and hold both the up and down volume buttons, then while holding them down plug your phone into your computer via usb and you will enter DOWNLOAD MODE from there you open odin on your computer and click only the PDA option look for the whitehawkx pda_kd1 file you downloaded and click start
that should fix it

Biggggggggggg Thanks
Sorry but I started a new thread ... before you answered.. my bad.. but on the new thread.. I have a few questions

Flash it with one of the options you've been linked to by Kyndig. The first two are for Odin the last for Heimdall. That's an alternate DL mode your looking at. It still works the same.

Is looks like you flashed an I9000 rom.That's a no no, unless you flash Hellraiser rom right after. Since you can't get into recovery, you will have to use Odin or Hiemdall to be able to boot up. That's only if your positive you cannot get into recovery.

Let is sit with the charger plugged in might need to be charged...you want to be in download mode to do the one click or Odin...the big triangle with the android dude shoveling...that is what you want...Odin or one click it back to stock and you can if you want read up on a few items...see my links in my signature, ok
good luck

Yes, just keep going with it. When I bricked my phone the big triangle etc wasn't showing any response. However, I went ahead and flashed with Odin (Odin could see my phone) and when it was done, the screen restarted and booted normally.

HELP! Did I just make my phone a $600 brick??

I just got a new Verizon S3 about a week ago and a few days ago I followed the instructions in the Original development section to install the CM10 nighties. Everything was working great but just a little bit ago I tried to upgrade to the newest build through the clockworkmod rom manager that was installed with cm10 but now when I restart the phone just constantly boot loops. It shows the samsung screen followed by samsung screen (but with booting recovery at the top) and finally the android dude for a few secs then just repeats! How do I fix my phone! Or did I F**K myself good?

Can you get into recovery (volume up + home + power) to try flashing a previous rom download or restore a backup? If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to Odin your way back to stock or stock.root66 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)

Ok I was able to get into recovery. I tried restoring a backup but that did not help I am now going to try and re install the downloaded rom. I might just odin back to stock I don't know if my nerves can handle the stress of this mod thing.

I tried installing from downloaded rom and that did not work ether. I down loaded the odin and the Samsung drivers but the drivers don't seem to be installing right. The phone shows up under devices and printers but has an ! on it. I tried telling it to update the driver by had but I got this error:
Code:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP DEVICE
This device cannot start (Code 10)
I have the device booted in to recovery ClockworkMod Recovery because thats the only place I can get it with out it continually restarting. (I thought that the Recovery I had was called K-exec or somthing? It looks the same I think though so I am not sure. Is that what broke my system did I break somthing my flashing ClockWorkMod recovery over K-exec? Can I fix that from clockWorkMod Recovery. HELP

Odin back to stock to be safe.

Odin is a PC program. You need to go into download mode to connect to it and flash back to stock.

I don't think I can get into download mode(If thats the thing with the yellow triangle) you do that with (vol up+power+home) right. Then I press that combo I go to ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.8. I think I have tried most all the options from there.

From the sounds of it you should have never attempted any of this, download mode is volume down + home + power.

Ok never mind download mod is down arrow. I read the web page wrong. Whats more is I was able to install drivers once I entered download mode so it looks like I might be alright. I am downloding stock rom now and will update you all soon. Thanks for your help and patience with my n00bness

actually download mode is hold volume down +home (button on the front in center) + power till the screen shows download mode

Probably true or at least I should have done my homework first.

we all learn somewhere. funny how thought of a brick gets people researching more than they normally would, right? lol, all been there

Upgrade your recovery from cwm touch to cwm 6.whatever.it.is. Cwm touch is buggy. I don't know how exactly you do that if it's not booting to the rom but maybe this can help point you down the right path.

Downside of all the one click this and one click that. You should be required to root at least once using odin and adb before having access to the one click tools as you may end up needing those down the road.

Ok guys I got my phone back up and running! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/good.gif Thanks for the help! However the bloatware that popped up right away is about enough to make me risk flashing 4.1 again.

If you really don't wanna take the risk you can just delete it all with Titanium Backup. But hey, if you really want to, go right ahead. Just do a little more research before you jump in. We've all been there, though, so don't feel stupid.

This procedure is the simpliest way to get CWM on your phone. And by the way you get Voodoo Lagfix installed so it's cool.
I assume you have Samsung USB drivers installed but If you don't you just have to get Kies installed on your computer.
To make this short and sweet, you gonna need those files :
ODIN
http://d-h.st/gU0
Entropy's Daily driver kernel with Red CWM
http://d-h.st/TCp
Once you get those files, extract them and run the ODIN executable file in Administrator mode. You have to put your phone in download mode now. Have your phone completely shutdown, hold the vol + button and plug your USB cord in your computer. Normally, your phone will ask you to continue to download mode and you'll see a yellow box appear in odin. It will shows like this "COMxx" (x's are for the com number ). Then you just have to click on the PDA box in ODIN and choose the file you get from Entropy. Click on start and let the magic begins. Your phone will reboot after the process. It will stick on Samsung logo and you will hear the female robot voice tellilng you that voodoo lagfix and RED CWM is flashed on your phone. Once done it will reboot again and that's it you're done.
To get in CWM the procedure is simple, phone completely shutdown, hold the vol + and vol - buttons and press your power button. (hold the volume buttons once he's started) you will get in CWM in no time

I believe you can install it by rom manager

Yes, you will need a Kernel with Red CWM.
This can be achieved using The Heimdall One Click package with Entropy's DD Kernel. Post courtesy of qkster.

hi, if you still have this phone, flash this (link below) with odin 1.70, it is stock deodexed android gingerbread with root and CWM. after it flashes, let it boot and install some features, if phone starts speaking some things, don't worry, let it do it's thing and after it fully starts up, you should be running android gingerbread and cwm should be installed, so you can flash other roms.
