Thanks for your answer. For now my phone is in service to Vodafone so expect to see the result (not yet passed the period of seven days in which they said they will fix) and can not play with him to try a little Odin.

Help me please....

The combination for Gio Download Mode is VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER!
The combination for Gio Recovery Mode is HOME + POWER.
Good Luck!
Be sure to enter Download Mode and connect your Gio to computer before pressing the "Start" Odin button.
-----------------------------------------------------------
For your "bricked-that-cant-enter-download-mode" Gio, try this:
1. Remove your battery
2. Press and hold VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER
3. While holding those buttons, insert the battery.

bricked=corrupted bootloader (phone is completely dead)
is not bricked because a really bricked phone will not boot in download mode it's like dead better is to say "is not booting" and the way to solve a "bricked" phone is to flash a stock rom that surely works you have to try many times because you don not know what rom was previously on the phone
1.get a stock rom on sammobile
2.also get corresponding Odin an pit file from there
3.flash by Odin in download mode
if not working try another rom also check if you have Android SDK an Kies make sure you have these tools- you need adb interface working and samsung drivers installed
when in download mode open Device Manager start/run/devmgmt.msc and check if you have adb interface active if not install Odin and SDK then restart PC and try again in download mode...
(don't do anything until you see something like this is Dev Manager -you see this only when phone is connected to PC yes in download mode)
tips
-pit file tells Odin how to flash files on phone in what order and how to so unpack rom and check if you see at least 3 md5 files : CSC/Modem/PDA not all roms are complete don't use a pit file until you have these 3 files in archive
-if Odin says "done" but phone is not booting try to enter recovery and (should work if you downloaded a complete rom ) ...and wipe data/cache/Dalvik-cache then reboot
-if you are missing a pit, pda, modem or csc file you don't have a rom complete so check for a rom with all these files inside archive then you can flash it and you can check "re-partition" in Odin
-if you see ADB Interface connected in Dev Manager it means your phone is in download mode and is not bricked so can be solved ! do not believe me just try !
-if you do not see this install (again) everything/ use another computer and try again! if you don't get a sign this is bricked and send it in service don't lose time
-I don't have this phone (only a Samsung Omnia but this is WM phone) but I have some experience with these "bricked" phones so this is not a complete howto but give me some feedback let's solve these "bricked" phones and close this thread

yea, i know but my phone bricked cuz i have wrong flashed recovery Rom using Rom Manager. and if i pressed vol up+power+home odin recognize it but always stuck at setup connection as the others shown. if u can show me how to fix this, then u may close this thead!

[Q]Galaxy Fit brick

Hello!
I got a small problem with a galaxy fit. It does power on and it shows a computer and a phone with an exclamation mark between them.
The only thing that is accessible is the download mode.
Now in download mode odin gets stuck at "mibib download.." and it just keeps counting the time.
Does anyone have a clue about what to do to get the phone working again?
P.S.
This is my friends phone and i wasn't with him when the accident happened, but i understood that he might have tried cu flash something and Odin got stuck and he pulled the cable.
Thank you.

you must also come into recovery ...
if you cant flash it with odin 4.38 ... (in download-mode)
Than you make an data wipe/reset and wipe the dalvik...
And the phone is not bricked

odin fails!
but i can solve that problem by flashing
(dbdata.tar)file!!! only in mySAMGUNG

"Start"
only works for galaxy TAB ,dont knw
abt fit!!!!
but 100% work for Tab

To Odin work should be installed by the driver when the phone is connected to the computer. If you can not install the driver, Odin can not work, not port may be to open.

[Q] [URGENT] USB Issues

So, i had my phone with the MIUI rom but i wasn't really liking because it was a little slow, so i flashed Kyrillos 9.5
After i flashed Kyrillos 9.5 i start having some battery issues, i was thinking that it was some problem of the ROM so i went away to flash another ROM, but ODIN didn't detected my phone, i upgraded the drivers and nothing.
My last try was to flash a rom by the update.zip method.
It didn't ended well and now i can't use the phone at all, it just stucks at bootloading.
If someone can help me to get my phone working again it would really help because i can't even use it.
PS: Sorry for my english.

Try to write another ROM on your sdcard(for example CM7a8.1) and install it from recovery

Yeah, take your Micro SD out and put another update.zip on it. Then go into recovery hold Volume Up+Volume Down+Home and Power. Flash ROM and hopefully it'll work

Trying changing USB ports or rebooting your pc

follow bscrazes advice, try other usb ports and then reboot your pc and try again, if that doesnt work still;
enter recoverymode (hold down both volume keys, power button and center button) then go to mounts and storage and choose usb mass storage device.
then plug it into your computer, it should just recognise it as a mass storage device, from here open folders and place a good update zip on it. suggested cm7a8.1
then apply update from zip.
this should work,
if you get errors doing this reply here and we shall try help

you need to re-install the driver....

I agree

Though I'm giving the advice a bit late try the following
first uninstall all samsung stuff (even drivers) from your computer.
Then as Jason-EX said install usb drivers for samsung mobile
If you are unable to get to recovery try the following:
When the phone is powered off press power,volume down and home button simultaneously (now you should directly enter download mode)
connect it to computer now odin will recognise your phone
Flash some stable rom or kernel
I had the same problem once and this procedure worked
For the driver - http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-1480.shtml (if at all windows doesn't download it)

if u hav all the drivers installed and still ur phone cant b detected in download mode ...den u gotta usb problm buddy...try changing the usb cable or try in different ports ...that might work.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SL : Can't Recover ! Need Help

Hi All,
I was using Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003) with Android Gingerbread 2.3.6. I wanted to install CM10. Here what I did.
-> Rooted the phone using Odin (Windows)
-> Installed CM10 through SD Card
-> Installed gapps through SD Card
So far went well and I was able to install the ROM. But my key board was not working. So I wanted (I got scared on rooting) to recover my stock ROM (which I took backup through CWM)
Now my phone got soft bricked. It goes into boot loop (Samsung logo). Doesn't open up recovery. It goes into Download mode. But none of the computer recognizes it. Odin (Windows) doesn't, Heimdall doesn't, ADB doesn't. Fastbood Doesn't.
I am desperate for a solution to bring my phone alive.
It does turn on and it goes into download mode. But not able to find option to flash the Rom.
I am new to the forum and this area. So sorry for my ignorence

If you've flashed "[ALPHA][ROM][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 for Samsung Galaxy SL - Alpha 4 - Farewell Release" and re-flashed other roms other than Alpha 4 without repartition(going back to Odin-Pit-XXKPE/XXKPQ-DDLF2/or any-root) I think you've hard bricked your phone...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048672

Thanks.. I also think so. if I give it to Samsung service center.. can they recover it (it's out of warranty) - if it is less costlier than a new phone ?
Thanks,

as far as i know, if you can go into download mode then your phone is not bricked.
just flash back to CM10A4 and follow the step to go back to stock.

How can I flash ? No computer is detecting my device. What alternate option I have ? Can a Jig help ? I think jig is just to put the phone in download mode.

Lola's i9003 was dead because it does not start... but my friend in this case achir SL is still recoverable...
@achir:dont panic and dont flash unnecessary things...You have soft bricked your SL.. too much of flashing and a small mistake can brick your phone.
and since you said your phone is not detected by ODIN but you can still go in download mode... so here are the steps which can help you..
1.Install samsung USB drivers for I9003
2.Install net framework on your PC
3.Disable your computers Antivirus and Firewall(it may interupt with ODIN process)
4.Restart your PC.
5.Connect your phone in download mode.
6.If its detected by system but not by ODIN then unplug and then replug the phone, repeat this process untill your phone is recognised by ODIN(rebooting of PC should also be done if necessary).
7.Once connected/recognised by ODIN flash a stock firmware.
8.Be patient because the first boot will take a long time.
let me know if it worked well?

You need not worry. I too had a bricked my phone exactly on Jan 1 (and missed wishing my friends as my phone was off).
See my forum where i faced the same issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076250
As our members have mentioned you can reinstall the Samsung drivers in the PC which will make ODIN detect your phone. :good:

Okay. I re-installed the driver but still my PC doesn't recognize it (unknown device). My Mac and my friend's Linux can not recognize it.
I have my personal Mac (Windows is in office laptop which doesn't have full admin). But I tried with Heimdall and ADB in my Mac (I assume doesn't need driver) but they can not list my device.
Now my critical problem is making my Mac detect the device so that I can proceed with some recovery (if at all possible).

You case is very similar with lolation. From cm10a4 with mtd fs direct flash rfs fs. Lolation go to service center.

I tried a lot but it seems no computer can recognize the phone. It seems service center is the only option

Have you try using another usb cable?(maybe the usb cable you're using now is defect)..According to Dhiru, either Alpha 3 or 4 won't result in a hardbrick...read here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35505300#post35505300
