I haven't used my charge for a long time. so I gave it to my 13 year old daughter (so I didn't have to buy her an IPhone like all her friends have lol).
I had it flashed with gummy charged 1.9 and it was ok, but some of the apps she wanted refused to work with it so I decided to flash it back to stock.
For some reason, I could not get odin to flash it (first time I've ever had it fail) even trying from 4 different computers so I got pissed and said F it.
At that point, I screwed up and just turned it off from DL mode (I was too lazy to pull the battery lol)
Now, all I get no matter how I try to boot it is a graphic showing a phone and a computer with a ? on the connection between them.
I must have flashed 500 phones and never had a problem and just got lazy.
It has CWM recovery in it, with a nandroid I made yesterday, but no matter what I try I can't get CWM to open now.
Is this thing screwed, or is there a way to save it??
I took the sim from it and activated a rezound I wasn't using and gave that to my daughter, so if I have to throw the charge in the garbage its not the end of the world but I would like to save it if possible.

you might have to flash CWM via ODIN again. it sounds like you might have wiped the system, hence the error picture you are getting.
but just to let you know, gummy charge is very old. dwith and jheide worked on a newer release, and it's available. and it works just fine.

hmmm.... i presume you have removed the battery for a good 10 minutes, replaced it, then let it charge for a good 30-60 minutes?
if not, do that - then try to enter download mode. have you tried entering download mode before connecting the cable?

Yea, I tried all that and it still refuses to enter DL mode.

If you get (or got with battery) any signs of life you could make/buy a usb jig...

Yea, I thought of that but I've wasted enough time on it at this point.
My daughter loves the rebound I gave he so she can keep that and this thing is going in the trash.
I don't really care, I got a ton of use out of it.
Well, I decided I had some spare time today & threw together a USB jig.
The jig immediately put the phone in DL mode, but now I can't get any of the PC's on my LAN to recognize the device.
Anybody got a way to force the PC's to recognize it??

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
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?

If you'd like to send the device to me, I can perform the mod for $30 + shipping (usually $6 in USA) . Personally, I don't think its right to return a device that you've damaged. This is my main reason for creating UBM. It keeps me and others honest.

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 disconnected during the dl mode recovering the system and couldn't turn on.
Try:
Pull the battery out for a while.
Assure that your battery is charged and have more than 50% juice.
I tried all combination but it didn't help, after 2 hours it could return to dl mode again.

Assuming the thread is back open (one month without activity is considered a dead thread on this forum right?) 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.
im having the same issue, i think i bricked my phone and i cant get into download mode ive tried all the combinations and stuffs posted in others thread but ive not been able to solve anything.. please help!

In order to use Heimdall Adam Outlers One Click you need to setup the phone as download mode, but that's the problem, the phone won't even go to that mode. If you know how to do it without that mode, really will be appreciated
I also have the same issue. No boot at all. The computer won't even recognize it. really need help with this issue without opening the phone... please, thanks!
My infuse died three times this morning. I let the battery charge up just enough to turn the phone on each time... eagerly returning to my web browsing. Shortly after each use the phone would die. On the third time that it died it would not charge. Ive tried multiple charging cables and wall outlet/ pc/ laptop. All i get is the grey and white progress circle. It is only in the 12 o'clock position and flashes about every 5 seconds. Ive searched threads all day with no success.
Update: had samsung logo flash repetitively first time it had done anything besides show the progress symbol, pulled battery put it back in... back to flashing progress logo.

Lol...I just helped a guy that was stuck on samsung screen and couldn't get download mode...took about two days of trouble shooting but I was finally able to get him into download mode and then back up and running again...as long as something is displayed on the screen your phone is still saveable...just gotta be patient and keep trying...
As for if it won't turn on at all...well chances are its hardware...unless you have the knowledge to mess with the hardware of the phone then you may be stuck...but always try a new cable or a new battery...could be one of those is bad...
Lol and big...its summer so I got a ton of free time...and im not developing anything either so trying to help others is just something occupying my time...as soon as I get a job ill buy a cheap used infuse and ill be back here...although my vivid will remain as my phone in use...but ill have an infuse to dev with ...besides...your always helping people thought I would give you a break lol

Hey guys. I'd really appreciate your help. So this is how the story goes. Im pretty well versed in flashing ROMS. I flashed the CM10 Rom, don't remember the exact name, but it's the one where u can download a bunch of themes. Anyway the wifi kept coming on and off so I decided to try another ROM. I went into recovery mode and flashed the MIUI vs OTTER ROM, I think thats the name, I'm pretty sure . Just as the flashing finishes the phone turns off and BAM!! The problems start so basically phone wont come on now. I don't get the vibration before it starts, so I figured Id root back to stock and start all over...(Odin..PIT etc.) So this is what happens. The computer makes the noise that indicates something's been plugged in and then immediately it makes the same noise as if somethings been unplugged (phone is still plugged in though) Screen is completely blank still and a message comes up (ON PC) to install new software on ( the phone). The software or Device that registers as the phone in device manager is Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM. Any help would be appreciated. And yes I did the whole wipe factory/dalvik etc. right before flashing the MIUI ROM. The computer says I need to flash drive F to be able to use it (which I figure is the phone, and flashing would erase everything right?) but as I try to do that it denies me permission because th phone is apparently coming in and out, or on and off.
Have you tried a jig? Do a quick Google search "Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G Jig" . It'll get you into download mode and allow you to flash through Odin back to stock, I believe.

Trying to hold volume up button and power/vice versa with both and volume down, whilst running odin to see if Added" pops up on odin so that I can root to stock and start over."
Every time i plug the phone into PC you hear the plug and unplu sounds as if the phone is continuesly turning off and on but nothing on the screen. Im not even getting the vibration.
I had a similar issue on my phone recently. It was incredibly frustrating so I just left it on the charger. When I came back 30 minutes later, it was on and charging.

I have almost the EXACT same problem. BUT, I do have a jig that I know that works...and it doesn't bring me to Download Mode. :crying:
No button combos work...download or recovery, I don't even know if it is charging...had it on the charger for about 30 mins so far.
(It says exactly:
You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it.
Do you want to format it?
<Format disk> <Cancel>
I of course press cancel
With a battery or without a battery, when I connect to the computer it installs the drivers as stated above but it continues to ask if I want to format it. If I leave it plugged up, the popup continues almost endlessly. I've not yet press FORMAT, as I would think that could make it worse than it is.
Has anyone seen this type of problem?
*EDIT: I'm sending it out on Monday to get it JTAGed, too expense and complex to even think about trying to get a box and attempting the fix myself.
I was basically told that the Boot portion (whatever it's exactly called) needs to be re-written and then probably just flash stock firmware on it.
Just wanted to leave this here to help others search and find this info...just in case they attempt to try to do more than they should and really mess their phone up even more.

mildly retarded (mildly used very lightly) by just trying to do a factory reset from
the bootloader.
Figured out I ****ed up and then looked into how to fix said problem.
I then tried to flash a stock RUU since it was a Bell Mobility Phone. (I think, I bought it for 25
bucks with Cyanogen already on it and have been using my Bell Sim inside it.) I now
cannot even access my bootloader.
If it's plugged into the computer the computer will make
sounds showing connection and disconnection, but there's no display, no led, no nothing.
I am retarded.
Any way to fix this or am I ****ed

Not that I can tell, I'll give that a try though and report back. All I can hear is it disconnecting and reconnecting, that's the only sign my phone still has life
