that's my problem that i can't enter the bootloader mode and the computer doesnt recognize my device to flash it.. there must be something that would fix it but i'm not sure what.

I had such problem , the only way to resolve it , to change chip on your motherboard with boot loader, or if you can find jtag connectors , you can flash it with jtag.
I resolved this problem with changing boot loader chip. 150 USD in Moscow .
this is the only way to resolve it =(
good luck..
Hello guys, i have a problem with my sgs .. after downgrade from jv9 to froyo i've got my sgs bricked.. cannot enter do download mode by 3 button combo and by usb jiig is well ( jig is working, checked on sgs2) only thing happening is when i connect it by usb cable to my laptop i getting info the windows cannot find the driver for it and after few seconds is disconnecting.
Any ideas how to get it back to life ?
Thanx.
ps. sorry for my english. Cherrs
What happens when you turn it on normally?
At what screen does it stop?
Can you enter recovery mode?
its totally dead.
Remove the battery, wait a few minutes ( In fact, 30 sec should be alright ) the put it back. Press power button, if you see the phone -- triangle -- pc image, then just remove the battery again, put it back and plug your jig. If you see nothing i'm almost sure your screwed.
Steps:
First Remove your battery and wait 60 seconds
Then put the battery back in
There will be a small hole in the right side of the camera like a soft reset hole
take a paper clip
insert it in the hole and wait 25 seconds while pressing it in
then go into the download mode but the volume down +home button + power button
If the button method doesn't work try using the jig
Now it should work

Can you try running USBDeview from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html . You should see all your existing devices like mouse, keyboard etc. Then plug the phone in, and if it shows up in USBDeview tell me what it says in these columns for the phone device:
VendorID, ProductID, USB Class, USB SubClass
You may need a couple of tries to get all the numbers if it's disconnecting after a few seconds.
I'm interested because it could be the type of brick we are trying to fix in this thread where the bootloaders have been corrupted and it is going into processor recovery mode. We don't have a fix for you but if I'm right it will confirm that you need to get the phone reflashed by Samsung. Ask them how they do it while you're there.
hmm i cannot see any hole on the right side of the camera.. there is only connector looks like gps antenna.
i tried on 3 different batteries and i tried to take battery out for few minutes and still not work..
hmm so what if there is that bootloader fault?
this is o2 brand phone so do you think guys can i just go to o2 and say that stops working after kies upgrade or some rubbish like that ? do you think that will work ?

Just say to them i was updating my phones software via kies and my pc crashed because of some other application so it got interrupted in the half way now i can boot into my phone.
do you think they will accept it ? i mean .. if they will fix it and say this is my fault then i'll need to pay for this fix ?
anyone guys has experience with it ? how long it takes ?

Yes, they won't be able to tell what caused it, though your custom firmware could all reappear if they only reflash the bootloaders. But at least your phone will be fixed.
hmm ok but if they will know i had custom firmware they will charge me for repair ?
how log it normally takes ?
actually i was flashing the branded o2 froyo firmware while it happens.. but i got info from odin unsuccessfully flashed...

The brand market can see if u rooted the phone,
But i i also got this kind of brick, when i instaled a 9000m modem to my int i9000,
what i did i heated the phone, this is not a joke, a heated the phone used adb to enter download mode and i flashed stock 2.2 from samfirmware.com
The phone newer worked well so my provider changed the phone and didn't saw that i root it.
try adb and heating than the 3button combo.
good luck

Yep, that confirms that your initial bootloader is trashed and the CPU has gone into USB recovery mode because it couldn't load the bootloader. The only fix currently is to get Samsung to reflash it, or get someone with a Riffbox or other JTAG equipment to fix it. Heating the phone will not help you, neither will reinstalling Samsung phone USB drivers.

Well mate; if we are talking about the usual samsung galaxy s , when we open the lid there definitely is that small gutter with a hole in it . That little diaphragm can be pressed by a blunt pin.
Your provider should fix the phone no problem.

Simple write up for now...simplicity is the key here....
and let me explain first what I did...flashed a rom using rogue recovery on Caulkins ICS 1.6 I think...
things I tried and did not work...
*zimage script for windows copied went through...but did not work considering system was M.I.A. and SU wasnt present to finish the job...
*hold down button does not bring you into download mode as expected...
HOWEVER...if it seems all you can manage to do is boot into the rogue recovery and the sd cards and backups are all whacky...then you my friend still have a option....use ADB COMMANDS while connected in recovery mode...
adb reboot download
and your phone should now be in download mode...
p.s.-if this has been covered already please disregard and be on your way i suppose...otherwise if this has helped you please hit the thanks button XD
Don't think this will work from a hard brick.
BUT
Even though you can get into download mode, doesn't mean anything you try to Odin will work. It'll stall at data.img or something similar.

why is this in development? and how is that different than pulling the battery and reinserting it and holding vol down + power?
this is in the stickies and super basic knowedge...
mmk
everyone must have MISTAKEN ME...
I COULD NOT...to save my life get into download mode via holding vol down button...nor would it boot...
nor am I a noob at any of this...
there was nothing on the phone but a borked recovery...
the one from ics roms (rogue I think) ...I did the stupid and flashed a rom while using rogue...
and wiped...my phone completely bricked...
no download no nothing...
took me a hour...but then I realized as long as there is recovery I should still have adb.
and yes it actually took in odin...my phone is been running perfect stock for last couple of days now...
downloaded modem and data.img with no problems...
sorry I wasn't quick on the reply but guys come on...
I know the sticky is there...this was a complete different situation than anything I seen in the sticky...
and also putting anything on SD card and trying to either flash or restore would not work seeming the sd cards in the recovery are backwards...emmc reads sd card...and vice-versa...
so thanks for the know-it-all guys who didn't read saying I COULDNT GET INTO DOWNLOAD MODE and I wouldnt of posted it if it didn't work....

this still doesnt make sense.. either your button is broken, or you werent doing it right..
also, if you can adb into recovery there are hundreds of ways to fix that problem, you are nowhere near bricked. you just have a messed up flash. if your sds are swapped and you cant get to them and flash, thats an error with the recovery, but you can still adb in and copy them to a place you can flash from. you can even flash directly from adb.. but nothing you did from add, nor recovery could restore your download mode. if you lose that you need a JTAG.
i need your help please , I tried to apply swap partition on my device hoping would give me extra ram. with mini tools partition i used 2 gb for linux swap partition (i have 32 gb class 4 sd card ) ,downloaded and installed swapper2 , run it and checking many options according to this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659231
I turned off my phone, and when i tried to turn it on , nothing happened :crying: my phone was DEAD !!!!!!! or almost , no charging sign (pc or ac adapter),no recovery mode , no download mode, the only signe of life is the QHSUSB_DLOAD driver missin message when i connect it to pc
it seems that im not the only one having this probleme , but i cant find any solution while searching during two hard days , so please , if anyone of you can help , dont hesitate , thank you .
i will wait for your answers with impatience.
anyone can help ?

ok let's try to find the file of that driver, which rom wr u using ??
don't mean to be a bearer of bad news, but your phone is hard bricked. Meaning no software will get you out of that. The driver you mentioned is the universal, you screwed something up driver. Youll need JTAG repair

you can try another way beside jtag without using any software..
1. pull out the battery
2. plug the charger/usb charge on pc/laptop
3. hold the vol. down-menu-power(same thing like you do to get to download menu)
4. while you hold those three buttons put the battery again (make sure that you still hold those three buttons)
5. after you put in the battery, download menu will show up (now you can use odin to install which stock rom you like)

im in the business of unbricking phones. QPST has nothing to do with the phone's operating system. Heimdall needs your phone to be partly functional ( download mode) . Odin, same thing. Have you found any drivers yet? You need drivers to talk to your phone at all.

Hi, so I just bought a Xperia S and before doing anything thought I should set a Pattern Lock for security, so I did and now I cant remember the pattern... I bought the phone second hand and so have no guarantee or anything and need a way to get in.
I hadn't even put my Gmail details in yet so thats no use, I haven't installed any recovery or CWM and there is none on there as stock. And USB debugging is turned of...
Ive tried several things ive seen on here but its no use as I cannot use ADB without USB debugging.
Is there any way to get into the phone, past the pattern lock, even for just a second so I can turn on USB debugging, or is there another way to turn it on?
Or does anybody have any other solutions such as ways I can flash CWM onto the device without debugging. As it is a new phone for me I would obviously be happy to erase the data if necessary, I wonder if theres a way to completely erase and reinstall android?
Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks
Dude,
You could try booting into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
In theory it should work.

Sorry I forgot that there is no stock recovery, I havn't ran stock on my XS for a while.
You can try using SEUS to flash the current stock firmware, this will erase all data on the phone and be like it was out of the box.
Hope it helps

when you intall flash tool, there will be folder called drivers in flashtool's intallation directory like in the first pic, it contains flastboot drivers, xperia s drivers and flashmode drivers. and about the youtube video, just learn the method from it dont do anyting from video, ok?

There is no drivers folder in my download, its just the actual fastboot program, I guess the download is different in the mac version... when I plug into fastboot, nothing happens... fastboot continues to ask for a device to be plugged in. The phone does show the charging icon and the led comes on but only to show the phone is charging, just like if you plug it in at any other time... I don't know where would borrow a windows pc from... are there any other ways of doing this?

There is no drivers folder in my download, its just the actual fastboot program, I guess the download is different in the mac version... when I plug into fastboot, nothing happens... fastboot continues to ask for a device to be plugged in. The phone does show the charging icon and the led comes on but only to show the phone is charging, just like if you plug it in at any other time...

NO NO NO! I just found the Drivers folder! But its empty... Should I find the Xperia S driver on the net to put into it?

thanks... btu non of that really helped, ive already done most of it, and it doesnt explain the drivers
So.... I GIVE UP!
Is anybody interested in buying a Pattern Locked Xperia S? Im hoping to get a Z instead and so would love to sell this phone. Im sure somebody who knows their way around ADB and FlashTool and stuff could unlock it... And i'm talking really cheap, like £50? Could even use it spares and repairs? It means im losing a lot, but its better than nothing... Private Messege me an offer...
