HELP my phone is bricked I9003

hello,
I am French, do not be too nasty to my language .
I have a galaxy S I9003 and want to reinstall an original rom, I can be done with a file error odin. during the flash, I got a message "failed" and since my phone will not turn at all.
how to fix it?
thank you for your help.
I no longer have access to the recovery mode or download at all, the phone has no energy reaction.

Brick is of 2 types: Hard and soft.
In case of a soft brick, you get to see the Black Screen of Death if you try to switch on your phone in normal and recovery mode; and the download mode runs fine. In that case, you can just flash any stock rom via odin. If your screen doesnot turn on at all, then i'm afraid its hard bricked. Can only be solved by the samsung guys, I guess.

If you can get into fastboot then don't use Odin. Assuming you have fastboot working use these

I guess his phone bricked when he took the battery out when booting. And, when he uses Resurrector, he chosse galaxy s option, but not the Nexus S, then, the phone goes to download mode witch one always give the pit partition error.
Nobody (i guess) really know why this bug happens, but in the most of cases, it's about emmc, if you have an old phone, you can try, maybe...

How difficult is the hardware mod...I have zero experience with soldering but rather than having a dead brick would take chances ...tried taking phone to few phone guys in Toronto who had no clues...so thinking of trying hardware mod myself...would appreciate any guidance

Don't do it then. You will destroy your phone completely.
Just look out for someone (in real-life) that can do it for you.

[Q] Is my Skyrocket Bricked??

Hello Guys,
I was updating the TWRP on my Note2 & Skyrocket, and mistakenly flashed Note2's TWRP on Skyrocket.
Now, it won't boot. I can't get into download mode either to flash the correct TWRP using ODIN. I think I bricked my phone.
Is there any way I can try to recover it?
Thanks for your time and help.
-Cheers

If it shows as qhsusb_dload when you connect it to the computer then its bricked and needs jtag.

Does odin recognize your device? If it does, flash the stock Rom. Don't flash twrp that won't fix it. It'll mess it up more.

no signs of life(nsol)=hardbricked
jtag repair needed
its all in the q&a sticky

ODIN will not fix your issue because Note 2 recovery was flashed on another partition on your phone(which is for something else , not recovery) , so you lost that partition ... unless you have a backup for the individual partitions of your device before you did that , you're screwed .. sorry to say that ...

I also think that it is hard bricked, because it won't show anything, no vibration, no sound, no lights.
PC doesn't detect it.
I will look into the options for hard brick repair. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks to all for your inputs and suggestions. I sent my phone to Mobiletechvideos for JTAG repair and they fixed the issue with my Skyrocket.
I would highly recommend giving them a try in case anyone bricks their Skyrocket like me.
Cheers to All.

[Q] Bricked Kross GY-601 Chinese Tablet

Hi, I have a Kross GY-601 Tablet... One of the cheap chinese tablet you can pickup at factorydirect (Canada)
I seem to have bricked it when attempting to port Clockwork Mod Recovery to it. It does not show anything on screen or do anything, When I connect it to my computer.. It shows up as M6-CHIP in Device Manager as shown in my image.
The internal storage is completly gone as a result of my failed attempt to un-brick it..
It would be a great help if someone helped me fix this..
Thanks in advance..
-Henrique
PS: I'm only 13 sorry if my description of the problem is a bit bad..

Sooo,
You probably don't have proper drivers, use PDANet ones, they work even with obscure tablets.
You tried to port CWM or flash?
It's not bricked since your computer detects it
Last thing, do you have a backup recovery image or another recovery image that works so you can get it back up?
Daniel

I was dumb enough not to do any recovery image backups..
Also.. I ported cwm then flashed it with dd just poped the .img into the recovery block.. but since I didn't compile it properly when I adb reboot recovery.. It got into a boot loop.. so I tried to fix it but broke it even more... So then I tried re-writing the firmware for generic 4.1.2 chinese tablet.. but that messed it up to the point were it only shows as M6-CHIP.. i can only turn on and off.. nothing else.. no boot no screen light up nothing..

I can help you BUT....

[POLL] Dead EMMC

Hello.
I'm trying to centralize all the EMMC issues in order to see if there's a common link. Feel free to post some details as well after you answer the poll.

There are 2 different common links
1) faulty emmc
2) idiots

I'm trying to see if there's for example a given toolkit that would corrupt your emmc - could help the noobs who brick their phone after using who know what toolkit. We all know that no matter how many times we warn people , some will still use rootkits and AIO toolkits - best we can do is keep them away from the really damaging ones.

You'll never narrow it down.

In the last week we had 4 bricked EMMCs . Out of those there's
- unknown (http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/bootloop-nexus-5-problem-persist-t2962356 )
- Toolkit/Rootkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ed-nexus-5-t2522020/post51345473#post51345473
-Possible rootkit , TWRP 2.6.4.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-32gb-mobile-internal-memory-t2969559
- unknown , http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/accidentally-bricked-nexus-t2967493
I'm pretty sure if we collect more data - maybe some logs and logcats as well we might be able to find out if there's a specific chain of events that will brick them , bad quality emmcs or just abuse .
Also , I want to see if the 16gb version is less prone to it than the 32gb. From what I dug in the forums it does seem so - though it might be only my subjective impression since I didn't centralize any data yet.

My point is, even if a user was using a toolkit at the time of nand failure, there is no way on earth you van categorically say that the failure was caused by the toolkit. Yes, people shouldn't use toolkits as they don't know what they're doing, but also let's not also attribute faulty hardware, stupid people or just bad luck to toolkits too.
I'm sorry, but this thread won't help anyone.

My problem with emmc brick started when lg sent me back the phone that is still broken.
Before this, my device was only in bootloop at the google logo.
