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.

Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi !!!

This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...
Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.
did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.
Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick
One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.
that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

Hi there! First of all I don't speak english very well.
My Galaxy Nexus hard bricked yesterday.
tl;dr no boot animation, no recovery mode, no download mode, no response from computer.
I thought it had just a low battery level, I found it turned off. So I tried to recharge it but it gave no signals, no battery icon, nothing.
After an all night long recharge I tried to turn it on, to enter in download mode or in recovery mode but nothing works. I also tried to connect it with my computer with and without battery, no response, no "OMAP" device found, no sound from Windows for plugging it in, nothing.
I found this thread here in xda, many people has been redirected to it and found their solution to the brick problem.
I tried to follow all the steps but when I plug in the phone and start the .bat file nothing happens, just stuck on "Waiting for device".
The phone is unlocked and rooted. I'm running AOKP JB-MR1 Build 2 and Franco Kernel for a month, never had problems with them, never installed other ROMs after that.
What should I do now? Should I try to do something or just bring it to a support center? The phone is still in warranty, there would be any problem because it has a non-stock ROM?
I've red about a jig to force the Odin mode, should I buy it? (I found this one)
Thanks for the help.
Have you tried booting into Odin mode

Yes, it doesn't work.
have you your warranty on it?
return it and get a new one
It's hard bricked and a JTAG unit may force it into download mode, if you send it in for warranty, chances are it won't be accepted as it was obviously tampered with and they would find out that your bootloader is unlocked and charge you more money than the device is actually worth to fix it.
I don't understand how it could of bricked if nothing has changed on the phone for a month or longer. Nothing was flashed recently so how can you hard brick the phone?

I'm not understanding that too, I don't know what happened. Suddendly it stopped working. Maybe is just a battery problem, I'll try to use another one before bringing it to the shop where I bought it.
same happened to me, but I have an untouched phone with stock android. it worked well for over an year until today.
I see a lot of people having same issue, but they say that when connected to PC over USB the phone is recognized as OMAP.
for me the PC doesn't do anything...
any help? thanks

Try This !!
Arrange a 4 ohm resistor and try to attach it in ur usb plug port of phone ..it 'll force the phon eto go in download mode or say Fastboot mode.
then follow a tutorial to flash any rom..
its quite easy else ping me !!

Please could you explain a bit more how to go about this? I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus in a somewhat similar condition. This one is recognised as an OMAP 4430 device. I downloaded OMAP Flasher, installed drivers and tried to bring it back to life but after running the batch file I get this error: Operation FAILED (Remote: : Driver init error 0x00FF8080 - MMC CONFIG FAILURE). Can the resistor trick work on this and if yes, how can I go about it? I am not faint-hearted; I think I can handle it if given the right instructions.
After I tried everything i could from the internet, I went to a shop and tested to see if the USB is broken - and indeed it was. I replaced the USB component of the phone and after that it started.
Thanks guys

Just yesterday I flashed my galaxy Ace 2 with 4.1.2 on Odin (which I've done hundreds of times), but I wasn't so lucky on the other side. I seem to have hard bricked my phone, no boot, no download, nothing . I made sure I put the tar.md5 in the PDA as usual, can someone please help me try and revive my bricked ace 2. I hear a usb jig will work for soft brick but will it work on a hard bricked phone?

Well, if your phone doesn't even turns on or enters to download mode with the 3button combination it's hard bricked.
Probably corrupted pbl and/or sbl which means the jig will not work.
Send back to samsung if it's still under warranty or ask someone who has JTAG and upload the bootloaders to the nand, this will bring back dl mode - a JTAG repair will cost approx. 30-50 USD.

Hmmm, It seems to be when I plug my phone into the computer it makes the USB connected sound and stays like that, but after about 5-6 seconds it makes the disconnect sound. Does this mean anything at all?
It confirms your bootloader is corrupted.
I guess it will show an "U8500 USB ROM" in device manager when you connect the USB cable.
That's because the phones internal rom (I don't know what exactly called) tries to load the primary bootloader but it can't find a valid one.
The boot process of Ace 2 and I guess for a few other Samsung devices:
Internal rom -> PBL -> Search for valid SBL -> Loading SBL -> SBL Checks if any 3key combo or JIG/UART/charger/etc connected ?
NO -> Normal boot, loading kernel, etc.
YES -> Charging, Download mode or Recovery mode (depending which buttons are pressed or device is connected).
Or something similar, but the point is you should NEVER flash bootloaders, if one of them gets corrupted you can't recover your phone with the usual tools.
I doubt it can be recovered, but try this:
Pull out the battery, connect the phone to the PC (Odin should be started before) press vol_down+home+power and reinsert the battery (still hold the 3 buttons!)
See if odin detects the phone.

I plugged the phone into a different usb port and it said U8500 USB ROM then it says no driver found. Does this basically mean Ive screwed the boot? IS there any other way than JTAG to fix?
Hi
There is a trick that in most of cases can fix bircked phones!
Just remove battery and wait for a minute , then hold vol. down + Home + power button and ask someone to place battery while you are holding buttons!

I think your pretty much screwed unless you take it to someone who J/TAGS or can revive hard bricked devices, a usb jig will not work. I have learnt my lesson now, to always read the comments at least 10 times before flashing any rom, that goes for stock roms too .

Hello! I had exactly the same thing as you. Gave my phone to Sammy (flash counter was 2 and still is) and they've revived it for free :victory: I've got the phone back today. When leaving my device at Sammy, I've told (more or less ) what happened - OTA have crashed.
Anyway - I had the alternative way. Guys at GSM stalls told they may place a new bootloader too, but for money. Prices varied so be careful - from ~50 euros to even as cheap as 15 euros.

I received an SGH-T989 that wouldn't boot. It had TWRP on it, so I was able to flash latest stable CWM. Upon reboot, it apparently became hard-bricked.

When connected in Windows (32 or 64), I get a usb error message: "This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources. (Code 29)"

That would be great! I did see the S3 fix that loads a debrick.img from sdcard - would that work with hardbricked? Windows wouldn't load the usb drive for my phone, complaining that the firmware didn't give the "required resources". So if the firmware is borked, I'm not sure it would be able to load an external img.
I couldn't wait, though. Sent it out for jtag repair :fingers-crossed:

That would be great! I did see the S3 fix that loads a debrick.img from sdcard - would that work with hardbricked?

Jtag should always do the job, unless there was physical damage done to the motherboard.

Thanks for the quick reply , i guess the next question i should ask , is it really worth the 100 bux for the j tag service or to put the money towards a newer phone ?,hmmm rhetorical i guess

The t989 has great specs, only downside is its PPI (really low) if you still love it, I would wait if you want to send it into JTAG repairs, we are on the verge of unbricking our t989 without JTAG! Looks like we need someone with a working t989D though
I have been studying the other 'unbrick' methods, its definatly mind expanding, the amount of knowledge absorbed can seriously make you forget time n space.
If there is anything I can do / contribute holler at me.
Now ill tell you something weird so I flashed a rom not meant for T989D plus I did it all without being rooted. (if it matters) since Since the flash the phone doesn't boot into recovery or show a bootanimation, just darkness.Yet it felt operational in hand.
Once I plugged it back into the PC all I got was a constant notification of drivers that cannot be identified Also it keeps connecting and disconnecting the device.
None of this is weird until I installed OMAP flash and the T.I. drivers for which was used to fix my friends nexus. After he left I plugged my s2 to the PC still nothing. I looked away for a brief moment . Then i noticed MobileGo for Android popped on screen. Visually showing my s2 as an Alcatel rom.
just bizzare.....
The unbrick method on the S2 is a little different, but in General, at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646310 after a little work, I resurrected a QHSUSB_DLOAD 9025 T989D to the point of ODIN and fully working Android OS working, just missing recovery.. Soon to follow in a day or so.

Hi, so I also have a hard bricked t989 galaxy s2 (tmobile variant) and I'm attempting to understand the instructions. However my phone has another issue...usb connection to the computer does not work, it hasn't worked since the micro usb port on the phone was replaced because the old one broke. So really the phone could charge but never connect to my pc as it cant be detected...so what are my options? If i create the sd card with the image, will i still need to connect it to a pc in order to force the phone into download mode? Please help...
