I tried to install a customized rom for the first time into my Samsung Gio, but something went terribly wrong. I had rooted my device, and I was using CWM, but I think I managed to screw up my recovery partition, and possibly the whole system, using it..
I can't get into downloading mode by the button combo (volume down + home + power). The screen stays blank whatever I do... However, I'm able to get Odin to detect my device when I press all buttons and then insert battery. But still, I can't enter the download mode, and I guess this is the reason why Odin fails when setting up the connection.
Is there some way to access my device using adb without having direct access to my device (which is why I can't set USB debugging mode)? Can I boot Android only from SD card?
I'm running out of ideas...
EDIT: I found out info about USB jigs. I'm trying to build one myself, because I only need 301kohm resistor and microusb connector. I'll let you know if it works.
remove the battery for 1 minute and try it again... this is my only idea
Don't be afraid to hit the thanks button. It doesn't bite. lol
Sorry for my bad englisch

If still it doesn't, then there's another way & that is:- Riff Jtag box. It'll definitely unbrick your GIO.
Hope this helps...

What's Riff Jtag box, where can I get one and how much does it cost? Gio is not that expensive phone, so I don't want to spend too much money trying to repair it. I wonder how much it would cost if I sent this to Samsung..

So i think i have managed to brick myself today
i didnt know what a hard brick or soft brick was
but in a soft brick it seems the phone like to play with you giveing you a little hope...
the hard brick is when you hit power and it doesnt turn on...
So how i managed to ahrd brick my self...
I connected to odin via 3 button method
then i hit up to get to download mode
for some reason i was thinking.. i was going to put in cmw... but i was slipping today and did something stupid
In my odin folder i have three files ...
odin v1.85,
odin3
and u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
i saw the pit button on odin and selected the u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit file
the only boxes selected were auto reboot and f.resettime.
and i hit start...
boom instantly it did it.
and now my phone does not turn on what so ever! and iv taken out battey tired to plud it upto pc via usb but it makes a connected sound but still no decive or anything kies doesnt even pick it up...
anyway to fix this guys?
When you plug it into the computer and go to device manager, does it say qhusb_load ? If so then yes its bricked and you could research JTAG repair service as your only fix.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Also by the way that .pit file that you flashed is most likely not for this phone and tried to format your phone wrong which wiped everything it needs to operate.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Agreed, probably wiped the inner memory. If you can't get any computer connection you are done. If you could and had an img file then maybe.
If your in the UK you can get the Jtag
here
or ebay for a GS2 jig which might help and its cheaper here
A jig will not work for our phone or at least it didn't for me.

It is becoming ridiculous how much we have of such threads lately. Wonder what fix they expect from us since they do not even bother searching which device that rom is for...
First try to get into a download mode.
If you couldn't try the following methods that used to work with Vibrant:
1. Pull the battery out
2. Hold both vol up & down
3. Hold Power button
4. Connect your usb to a PC and phone
5. Insert your battery
6. Flash any rom

I sent it to mobiletechvideo, they repair hard brick and it costs $60 a lot cheaper then buying a new phone. This wasn't the first time I ever flashed a ROM but the stupid mistake was not doing a research. I assumed that ROM is for AT&t version. I have read in this forums that as long as you don't flash At&t modem you should be fine but I know I grabbed the wrong ROM (At&t Galaxy S II). Well you learn from your mistake I finally experienced how it feels to have hard bricked phone....lol

Problem after flashing custom ROM phone not to be start
? By mistake install AIS lava iris 60 costom Rom file and after not to be start phone .... Totally are ded ... Please give me solution
Ok, so I had my Samsung Galaxy Gio rooted for a loong time, no problems at all...I decided to download the app called "ROM manager"...that was the most stupid idea ever... I chose a model, the first one on the list, wich I cant remember the name, and I selected, after it downloaded the Clockworkmod, I pressed To "Fix" something, auto app shuts, etc... Then it asked me to restart my device, as soon as I did that, my phone "died/bricked"
I CANT START IT IN RECOVERY/DOWNLOAD MODE
I already tried takinf out the battery and replacing it, I kinda tried the Odin process, but imma noob at these things...
I guess my phone is hard-bricked...
If there is no solution but sending it to Samsung, will they charge anything for the repair (im on portugal...)
PLEASE, SOMEONE SAVE MY PHONE'S SOUL!
too bad, theres nothing you can do..
you just need a bit of luck that samsung will fix it for free, I think they need to replace the motherboard
It happened to me this....they fixed it for free to me.Good luck with u too

Maybe you can try this :
1.take off your battery,press volume down+power button.. (make sure your battery are not empty)
2.While you keep press the two button,insert the battery and press your home button..
3.Hope that it will enter download mode,then flash it through odin..

i did download ez unlock from play store and did unlocked the boot loader but it was not recognizing at status even after the operation (status unknown)
i have i747M rooted
now i powered off the phone wanting to save the rom(again) thru CWM but it wont boot for nothing even pluged charger is not recognized
i have saved once the image so i have it on my sd
what can i do to get my phone back to life?
thanks for your help
Well, if you would have read anything, ez unlock is for verizon only. So, unless your phone shows any sign of life, you need to jtag.

is there a way of accesing the internal storage of my phone as bricked?
if i plug the phone thru usb it gives me the qhusb dload driver missing
can i use odin to flash the bootloader if i can retreive it from my internal storage?
or is there a file i can download for i747m?
or if the only way is jtag i can do it myself just cant find my way to info

If you can't boot into download or restore, and if odin doesn't recognize, I can almost guarantee you that you have hard-bricked your s3. Your bootloader is messed up, and can only be restored through JTAG. For you to de-brick it yourself, you'll need to shell out a couple hundred dollars to buy the equipment, or you can send it to someone who offers the service for a smaller fee. If you need some suggestions, pm me.

I'm assuming you have but doesn't get explicitly stated. But you have tried pulling batter. Putting back in then hold down the volume down key, home button and power but then after 2 seconds phone should vibrate so u let go of power button but continue holding the other 2.
Or the same method but holding power up.
To get you into either download or recovery mode.

Hi XDA
I think I just bricked my Galaxy S3 by loading the wrong bootloader on it
I can't turn on the phone, I can't boot into recovery or download mode.
The only sign on life is when I connect it to my PC I can hear the "USB connected" sound. If I plug it in without a battey, I can see a red led on the phone as well as the Windows sound.
I can see HS_USB QDLoader 9008 in the device manager
Please help.. I can't stand my old iPhone as a replacement :/
When you connect the phone to the computer and it makes the "connected" sound, do the buttons respond for download or recovery mode?
Have you tried a USB jig to force it into download mode?
You may have to have it revived via jtag if nothing works.

What exactly so you mean by "wrong bootloader" for a different model phone(example I747 bootloader on an I747M phone) or you were on mjb/mj5 and tried to flash an older bootloader? If it was wrong model you need a jtag/riff box to recover it if it was an older bootloader you need a 16gb or larger sd card (maybe an additional 1-2gb card too) and to look at debricking/unbricking threads there are a few of them. It seems to be about 70% effective so good luck.

Just for ****s and giggles since the computer recognizes the phone when plugged in, try to use odin to see if you get a connection light.. if so, attempt to flash mr robinsons stock rooted image.
Edit: that is taking into consideration that you weren't on 4.3 stock before you bricked

You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549068 but it is likely to not work being that you flashed a different models bootloader, if it doesn't work start looking for a jtag service.
The link has a 4.1.2 debrick and 4.3 debrick for the i747m you guys can also flash 4.3 via Odin where as us AT&T guys can't.
