Hey Users
I wanted to create this guide as I'm seeing allot of SGS users bricking there phone..This guide works for SGS GT-I9000 only..
ALSO USE THIS GUIDE IF AND ONLY IF U SEE THE FOLLOWING IMAGE WHNE BOOTING YOUR PHONE(attached image:1)
Downloads:
1. Odin3_v1.00 download here
2.The PIT file here
3.USB Drivers form here(This Is Optional if it is already installed by your phone, else you need to download it and install it)
Steps:
1.Run Odin3
2.Select "pit" and add the pit file u downloaded
3.Put ur SGS to download mode
--Do so by Pressing the 3 button combo Volume Down+Home(Center) Button+Power button
--Hold it till you see the Download screen(attached image:3)
Then go back to odin and see if your phone is connected (attached image:2)
Make sure re-partition is un-checked
Hit the Start button and wait..it'll unbrick your phone and load the previous Fimrware/Rom...
Enjoy

This will not solve anything if u cant get into download mode, and usually if your phone is bricked then u cant access download mode, so your thread should be called how to fix your phone when its soft bricked
you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!!!! Got my dad's phone back from the black-screen-of-death.
That pit file saved my life, otherwise i would of had one angry Dad, lol.
Thank you!!
Way better than flashing Darky 10.2 RE every single time like I did. Thanks I'll try it as i get a softbrick frequently.
I hate to be that guy, but this "guide" is somewhat incomplete and misleading:
first of all the very first and important step is making sure one has installed the appropriate drivers and that the OS recognizes the phone through DL mode, otherwise Odin will suck on "setting up connection" (this is the most common cause for soft brick during flashing)!
second: if there's no re-partition, there's no need for pit neither, because that's exactly it's used for: it contains the partition table structure layout for the official firmwares.
What if i cant enter download mode even with a usb jig??

This is just soft-unbricking, its been posted how.
And most of the time this doesn't even solve any issue.
Can u give me the links who already post the this title again.. but soon I will suggest u all the mod for galaxy w
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
Your title suggests to how to unbrick a hardbricked SGW, but what you are describing is a simple flashing after your ROM rendered to be not booting. This happened already to many of us who tested many ROMs forth and back and has been discussed in many threats, so it´s not new.
This can be done with CWM or even with Odin if you can´t access CWM recovery but only the download mode.
But what we would need is a solution for a hardbricked SGW.

is this for hardbrick or softbrick?
if this is softbrick, just get into cwm and install a rom..if this is a hardbrick or your phone cant turn on how can you manage to go to cwm with a dead phone??hfftt..

so this is softbrick..
its simple..just copy the .zip file again into your microsd card..go to cwm and install the .zip file..just like that..
edit : just go to ssc if your phone cannot power on.

Exactly. I would say a softbrick is when nothing works (even not CWM recovery) exept the download mode. Then you still can unbrick it by flashing the rom via Odin.
This happened to me once. Not a big deal, but a bit risky if something goes wrong while Odin is flashing the rom.
A hardbrick is when even the display doesn´t work and you are even not able to access the download mode. In some cases it´s still possible to unbrick it via Odin by entering the Download Mode with a trick or by doing it "blind".
There is for example a resistor+usb plug solution to enter the download mode in such a cese. Not sure it works with our SGW too, but it works with most Samsung devices.

That was also my intent in my earlier post, because the described procedure has nothing to do with unbricking the phone. It only describes a way how to reflash a rom.

That's a good thing.
You could try flashing stock firmware with Odin in download mode.
You could also try flashing a custom rom in recovery. (Like omega)
If this does not work i advice you to use kies from samsung and do a emergency restore/recovery.. surprisingly enough the recent versions of the program revived some Samsung phones quite well.. even when I lost hope.

Just turn off the phone, then press volume down + menu+ power buttons at the same time and you will get in downloadmode, then flash stock firmware with Odin. And please read up here on XDA about flashing , rooting, Odin and other stuff. If you do things on the fly you`re bound for disaster

As sauravrockable said, try factoryreset your phone. And again, 4. Where did you download the Xperia theme you were talking about?
Note. Playing around with roms, mods and themes can be "dangerous", at least when you are a noob. Please be more careful next time.
EDIT: Do you know how you factory reset your phone?

I had touch recovery installed on phone. I then proceeded to install cwm based recovery because that is what author of the rom said. After I was done installing CWM on phone, I then started installing the custom rom along with the gapps that came with it. Now my phone doesn't boot into the custom rom at all. I just see the Samsung boot logo, then the screen goes black. I am able to boot into recovery mode though. I see there are guides. They mention to hold both the up and down volume button, but nothing happens. Am I missing something here. Any help is appreciated.

I have the same issue where I installed the CWM based recovery and was able to install the ROM successfully without any problems. Couple of days later I decided to go into recovery mode to take a backup before I flash a newer nightly. I was not able to get into the recovery mode at all and it just goes to the Samsung logo and stays there. Can't boot the phone either!! It's just weird that the Vol up + Down combos or the Vol Up + Power combos do not work either.
What are the other options that I should try?

I have the same problem, but despite reinstalling the drivers and using kies and more than one version of odin, I can't get odin to recognize my device in download mode, the com port never turns yellow and windows won't assign a com port. Anyone know a solution to that?

Try different com ports on PC and make sure ur using the factory usn wire, Odin is funny like that, oh and if u have lies installed on the PC Odin will not recognize the phone, Odin and lies don't play well together, remove any and all traces of it or use a PC that doesn't have it install because as long as its there u won't get a connection

It's not a matter of trying different com ports, I can't get the PC or Odin to recognize the phone in download mode despite uninstalling kies, installing the latest drivers twice, 3 different OEM cables, multiple usb ports, nothing. when I plug it in, Windows doesn't make any sound like with other usb devices, nor does it try and search for drivers. Are there any other options short of JTAG repair?

Try a diff PC then because if u can get it into download mode it doesn't need JTAG, idk why ur PC isn't setting it but if u can get into download mode u should be able use odin, I'd DL mode works it's only a soft brick, JTAG would be a waste

I think infamous superwipe fouled it up to where it's not recognized as a usb device, my ps3 no longer read it as a device either. Know of a way to reverse that ?

That's strange because as long as u can get into DL mode Odin should work, all JTAG does is force the phone into DL mode so u can flash the firmware, but since u can access DL mode JTAG won't help u, and if it was hardbricked it would show up in window as qcom-dsload or something like that, the ps3 maybe won't recognize it because there is no recovery installed but I would try a new computer, search drivers for t989 and install that driver and use Odin 1.85, if none of that works then idk man but it should work...

I was happy that it worked but there was a problem with wifi. So i tried to flash the wifi fix via odin. And heres what i did. The phone was normally turned on and plugged in the computer (odin 3.09) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531965&highlight=wifi+fix . i DOWNLOADED THIS FIX EXTRACTED IT AND VIA pda i tried to flash patch.tar.md5 .
nothing happened i think it didnt even find the phone. It said succed/failed 0. So i downloaded odin 3.04. Put phone in download mode and tried to do the same thing. It said leave cs. So what i did is i unplugged the phone from the computer, holded volume up and power up tryin to get out of download mode. I did a battery was shown and it tried to boot after that but it was stuck on thhe samsung galaxy note II display. Now what happens is the recovery cant turn on. The phone cant turn on but i can get in download mode. What should i do to save my phone. Pls help
Oh i forgot to say that I have backups form the phone. On my PC
Download just the MJ5 bootloader and TWRP recovery in tar format. Flash one after the other.

If u are not able to go in recovery then try to reflash it via odin. It should work.. try this way or wait for an expert. .

I am so sorry if i sounded rude. Never meant to my english isnt too good. I am ver happy that someone is trying to help me. Sorry if you understanded me the wrong way.
We are not specific and are not spoon feeding you because this not done that way. You HAVE to spend time and learn what is what. The answers you need and the help you need are already here. If you're expecting download links and screenshots you shouldn't be modifying your phone. The whole point of this community is to learn and share the knowledge - not spoon feed.
Go to the TWRP thread, read up and download the tar that you need to flash through odin. Look for the MJ5 bootloader (hint: look up Wanam's ROM thread, that's one of the many places). After you got these two, boot to TWRP and flash the ROM.
Finally, as long as your phone gets into download mode, it's not bricked. And you got to do something incredibly foolish to make it not boot into bootloader. That said, it would be prudent to learn and act rather than blindly execute what you read - I said the same thing in not so many words in my reply to you in the DN3 ROM thread.

If you have used ODIN before to flash anything using this computer you are trying with now, you don't need to reinstall the drivers.

Ok. Thank you very much . There is one problem. I think you guys didnt understand that the computer finds the phone but Odin doesnt i think i must install the drivers for odin to find it. Can someone tell me if ican install the drivers while i am in download mode and how am i supposed to do it ? maybe theres a tutorial somewhere. I am really sorry for not being good with this. But its because i bought the phone already rooted. I know i already took lots of your time but i know how to do everything accept odin doesnt find my phone and thats the biggest problem. Thanks once again

First you need to put your phone in download mode(V Down+Power+Menu) when you see the screen press the V up. Now your phone in download mode.
Now run odin on your PC, connect your phone to the PC, odin automatically recognize your divce, now in odin click pda, select philz recovery.tar and press start tab. after finish the process remove your phone from pc.
Now go for recovery mode(V up+power+Menu)
Enjoy

So you successfully flashed the recovery via odin but you are not able to boot into it?
When u are in samsung note 2 boot screen keep pressed volume up, home and power buttons. When phone reboots and shows u samsung note 2 bootscreen then release the power button but keep pressed the others two until the phone boot in recovery. Try this and tell me what happen.
