OK so i just came back from a deployment and heard there was an update to gingerbread software from the stock froyo. I read up a little on it and decided to give it a try. I do not do a lot of builds, custom roms, or things like that on my device, so my knowledge level isnt that great. I downloaded Kies Mini and was performing the upgrade and my computer just shut off in the middle of it. My phone is now jacked. All it will do when i turn it on is display a ton of dots. My phone looks like a christmas tree. I tried holding down the volume buttons and plugging it into the USB cord, and still nothing but dots. I tried the hard reset by holding the volume buttons, turning it off, and releasing the power button and still nothing. Is there anyway to fix this?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Does the computer recognize the phone when you have it plugged in? If not, the simplest things to try are different USB ports, different cords or different computers.
Beyond that, it gets more complex. If the computer does recognize the phone, did you try this way - unplug the usb, turn off the phone, hold down the volume keys and plug the phone back in? If so and you still had the dots, it is possible you're still in download mode and can still try to finish the download.
Otherwise, you may have to go to GTG Unbrick, Heimdall or Odin.
Yes as long as your screen can display something, there's a chance to fix it.
OK, so now when i turn it on, the screen is just white. It is not pixelated anymore. Im not sure if my computer recognizes it or not. It does not show up on my computer anywhere but when i connect my phone to it with the usb cord my computer makes the sound like something was just connected. I opened Odin 3 v1.7 and in the ID:COM box it says 0:[COM15]. Now what do i do?? Thanks for the help. Sorry i am not android saavy!!!
I use this method to get the latest stock....are planning to put custom ROM?

bigjoe- Thank you. I am going to try putting a custom rom in it. Im not sure how to do it yet. i found some info on MIUI or something. It looks pretty cool. I am going to try the heimdall one click to restore it. Hopefully it works.
Just follow the instructions to the letter on any custom rom you decide to try and you should be ok. And you can always find helpful folks here. Welcome back, thank you and have fun flashing - it gets addictive.

Hi to all this morning,
I spoke to the local AT&T manager about my phone. The lock screen numbers and letters are "burned" on to my screen. Every time I go to a "light backround, I can see the month, time and "phone locked". The manager told me to call AT&T service. I called the 800 number and was told I have to do a "hard reset" on my phone for the warranty procedure. I have an "unlocked", "rooted" phone. Will a hard reset unroot and lock my phone?
Do I have to "unroot" and "lock" my phone before calling them back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jim
Before u return the phone to store, I would strongly recommend restoring to how it was when you got it (stock).
How do lock and unroot?

I do need your help. I downloaded the app you suggested and tried several times to use it. Here is my problem.
My computer connects via usb for mass storage an media on com port 9
I have downloaded all the latest usb drivers for Windows Visa. When I use the procedure suggested by gtg, the com port does not show up in the Comm ID box. I have tried and re-tried several time with the same result.
Can you help??
My display is getting worse every day.

I assume that you are using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251 one.
I had to use this a whole bunch of times when I just started flashing and though it worked really well the first time after that it started to not work as well. Switch your USB ports that you plug your phone into. This will make it show up in a different are other than just COMM 9. If you cannot get it to work in any USB try a different computer, leave it sitting there for a long time. I don't think that it really had anything to do with my eventual sucess but after just leaving the battery out and the cord plugged into nothing made it work. Just telling you my experience. I hope that you are able to figure out what is wrong and flash back to stock before your screen gets any worse!
So you tried to odin back to stock and it doesn't work?

More questions,
It did not seem like it wiped everything off. auto reboot was checked and fast reset was checked.
first block on top left is green and says passed time 4.49
Just wanted to says thanks. I plugged the phone into my laptop and it worked. Now I am fighting with AT&T to get it returned. They seem to think a display hardware issue is a software/virus issue. Thanks I got it to work with your help!!

No problem. Glad that I could help. And do push the issue. Right to the manager if they still won't take it. Or you could try calling them and eventually you will find one rep who is willing to push it through. Either they will be dumb and don't know what they are doing or they will know where you are coming from and help get it returned. If not, and you are still under warranty you might be able to send it back to Samsung and see what they will do about it. Good luck!
i believe if its under 30 days they take it back on the spot and exchange it for you.. if not they might ask you if you have insurance on you phone and send it out to a authorized ATT repair store... just my expierience...
My samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) is not powering on or going to recovery or download mode. i tried putting simply honey 5.1 on the phone. and this happened plz help!!!
Try to connect it via USB and see if
Odin recognizes it. It sometimes doesn't matter if download mode isn't literally displayed on screen, Odin would still be able to flash.
after connecting it, try to power it on and stay alert on what Odin displays.
Also make sure your battery is not completely depleted.

I've also read where others had a similar problem with it not powering on or anything. A few had success after leaving the battery out for ~24 hours (not sure it has to go that long, but why not?) and putting it back in. Then they were able to get it into download mode.
As Mikeflash said, some phones will be in an ODIN-recognizable mode even though the screen is totally black.

well as for me i tried that already also and nothing happened, i dont have money for a jig i've seen people do it with 3 100k resistors and tape but im not sure if thats safe or if it even works, tmobile said they would send me a replacement for it. but i dont want to wait that long and if they see that i tried to rom the phone then im sure i wont get it back.
Simply Honey isn't a ROM for this particular phone; which is why it's goofed. It probably loaded up the i9000 boot loaders.
Maybe give Raver's guide a shot?

Aww crap dude, i know your pain, i hard bricked my first sgs4g two days after i got it. Go to a t-mobile store or call them and ask for a replacement ask for a NEW phone, the refurbished ones are crap. Before you send it to tmobile, reformat the phones sd card so they cant see you did anything.(rooted it or whatever) If you used kies for an offical update you dont have to lie, i had to since i used odin.
You could also send to a guy who owns a riff jtag box, do a google search for that.

He's right. If your charging you can recover it. It's happened to me and I recovered. Click the link FB posted to the wiki.
Also, if you try download mode and you see a black screen, look for any white pixels. That is an issue with SBL, where after a bad flash, it will be in download mode, but it will show nothing or some pixelated garbage. If you see any light coming from the screen ( check in a dark room or closet, then your fine, just attempt ODIN or Heimdall. Not Kies

first of all I'm going to say I'm not all that new to this. and i have read through the forums and i don't see anyone with this exact problem (or even close)
My problems is getting into download mode.
I was using ZEUS' latest ROM and loving it but decided to reflash from stock because data wasn't working. pulled up Odin on my desktop *which was the first time i used it for anything but transferring files* got into download mode and was re-flashing with GTG's unbrick. it was on system.sysfs (i think?) and it stopped and replaced the yellow connected With a red box with FAIL. Thinking it was FUBAR i unplugged it and tried to boot up (still in download mode i used power- and power.) aaand nothing.
Now after 15 minutes of different Button combination, computers, and usb ports i don't know what to do.
When i plug the phone in and hold down vol+- and power and put in the battery i get nothing...
Am i SOL or can i get a Jig to fix it?
Also how do i make a jig?

I have seen all the advice about the battery. well I had one of my dad's friends have a cracks at it. Here's the thing. It does not do ANYTHING! The screen doesn't turn on, charging indication on screen, when it's plugged into the computer (win7) it flashes up "Device recognized" then it's gone. The actual phone is completely gone. No movement you could say.. I don't have a jig to try but I think I might just try the jtag from somewhere earlier in this thread.

Hi M8! Yesterday i posted a thread about the very same situation, i have two motherboards with that same issue. My guess i that youre not used to flash cell phones, so my guess is also that it means that you dont have develop good soldering skills. Theres a development made by a guy named Adam Outler in here called Unbrickable Mod. He is very highly skill developer. I have the same issue you have right now with a couple motherboards i have. And im going to apply that mod today to see if i can restore my cell phone back. If it works ill let you know, so that maybe you can find a way to do it. If thats the case, i suggest you to read, read, and keep reading lol... Theres a lot to learn about when we deal with situations like that. Ive never deal with something like that, but ive done UnbrickableMod many times already. So ill let you know
Well you can always use a usb jig if you want it will boot your phone into download mode then flash to stock.
Heres a good link on how to make one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707
Yeah its a good idea Ty113096, the problem is that the JIG doesnt work either. When you insert the JIG the phone will get to download mode ok, but then a couple seconds later it will reboot and the bootloop goes on and on. Oh! By the way UnbrickableMod didnt solve it! The phone will do pretty much the same when the resurrector is applied. Very strange situation but such is life i guess...
