But now the phone wont boot, dont start in recovery mode and not in download mode.
can somebody help me.
if i use a jig cable, will it work?

dude i have the same prob hope i get it solved i only have it for 3 weeks

Was there a choice for the Samsung Gio in ROM Manager ?
You have to make sure ROM Manager supports your phone before using it .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App

I had the exact same thing. My phone is now at the store, or it might even have been sent to a Samsung center already. Don't know as of now.
At any rate, the piece of **** that Clockworkmod is does not list any Samsung devices which must have served as a primary warning not to go through with it.
Nevertheless, I still did it. Phone turned off. Won't boot. Buttons won't work.

same here bricked samsung gio with clockworkmod
I just bricked my samsung Galaxy gio with the clockworkmod in the Rom Manager app.
I tried to flash clockworkmode to create a rom backup and then selected a random model from the list (there are only like 4 models there anyway!) No questions asked, no warnings , phone went stright to brick.
This app should produce some sort or error message or at least a warning if its not compatible with a model. As of now it works like brick your phone first, aske the questions later.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot

HELP!!! Soft Bricked Samsung G3 I747M (Rogers Canada)

Hello,
Here's my issue, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M (Rogers Canada) and I decided to root my phone to connect a wireless controller for running emulators. I used ODIN 3 and rooted it with the proper ROM and it worked fine. I then noticed it had been running really slow and I wanted to update it to the latest Android platform but in order to do that I need to unroot the phone and return it to the stock ROM because I also figured out that I can hook up the controller with a USB so my phone doesn't need to be rooted anymore. I found the stock CF-Auto rom for my specific phone and carrier and reinstalled ODIN 3 on my computer. When I plug the phone into my computer with ODIN open it recognises it and the COM3 field turns yellow and in the txt box it says that its connected. I load the Stock ROM into PDA and run ODIN. It completes and I get the green "Complete" box and in the txt box it says Complete Disconnect Phone but when I restart my phone it loads the Samsung loading video and then just hangs at the Samsung logo with the blue LED blinking and the only way to shut down the phone is to remove the battery. I am still able to get to the download screen (Vol Down + Home + Power) and also when I loaded the stock ROM in ODIN it said to make sure that F. TIME RESET and AUTO REBOOT is selected but AUTO REBOOT is already checked and I cant turn on F. TIME RESET as the options terminal in ODIN is greyed out and I cant change the options, could this affect it? I know my phone can be saved as its only Soft Bricked its just a matter of how.....PLZ HELP!!!

think you have flashed the rom and theres no os to run other than blank try installing again or else install custom recovery and run a custom rom
Good Luck!

Ok I will try it again today, what is the custom recovery thing and custom rom you're talking about? Sorry im not very savvy when it comes to smart phones, links would help a bunch and someone mentioned to me today to DL a new CF-AUTO stock rom for my phone because it may be the wrong one even though it was labeled for my model. Know of any good sites to get Official Stock Roms for phones?
Thanks

Ok so I found the newest version of ODIN3 and my actual Stock ROM, /fingerscrossed
If it works Ill post up where I found everything incase someone else comes across this problem with the same phone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***RESOLVED***
Ok so, I downloaded ODIN3 by hitting up Google and downloading it from the first link which was from this site (My issue was an out of date ODIN3 program, hence the grayed out options)
I got the stock file for my Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M (Rogers Canada) from SAMMobile (<Google this should be the first link)
This site has everything you need for Samsung anything and its free you just make an account. Also don't make the mistake I did and assume the list of stock files that comes up is all that's there, you have to manually search for your phone model and a list of countries and carriers comes up for that phone. The file was even the most up to date version which was a plus.

Galaxy Tab P6200 Can't Connect To KIES After Rooting

Samsung P6200 unable to connect to KIES on rooting to Lollipop 5.1.1
Hi,
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus on Lollipop 5.1.1 yesterday, using your files (cm-12.1-20151006-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip and open_gapps-arm-5.1-nano-20151112.zip) and instructions. The device rooted perfectly. Thanks for the same.
However, the device is unable to connect to Samsung KIES since then. Since I have taken backup of all my data including contacts, it is essential that I am able to connect the device to KIES.
Do I need to something more? Please advise. Thanks.

Bricked Device after flash TWRP recovery

Hi all,
I'm not new in XDA but i'm new in Samsung and yesterday i bricked my device. i own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F
What i did was, first ticked OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in Developer options and then flashed the original TWRP recovery for Galaxy S8+.
After reboot the phone bootloop, i only can go to Download Mode and after that i trigger the Knox too.
If i try to flash an original Samsung rom i solve the problem?
Any help please?
Thx.

Solved by flashing a stock rom.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S8+ using XDA Labs

Reflash stock recovery.

Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
First of all my phone is the s8+ G955fd, but I am sure that the people that helped me can help most Samsung owners with bricked phones.
My phone ended up being stuck on the first boot screen, I couldn't get into recovery or download mode. I installed TWRP and after that I lost my IMEI numbers( dual sim), so I tried to reflash stock and thats when i became bricked. I searched someone to help and found reference to the Fonefunshop in England. I sent it there and they said that the eMMC chip was bad. I searched for someone who could write to it or put a new one on the motherboard . I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa Canada. They used jtag to restore it to stock and they told me that the Fonefunshop had not opened the phone which is necessary to use jtag as they claimed, so avoid them.
The phone was now back doing everything it should except the IMEI's were null like before. I gave them the original IMEI's and the phone is working like new.
If your Samsung is bricked these guys can probably fix it and it won't cost much to find out.
