try taking a shot with another device for wt the phone shows you, make sure that ur memory card is inside ur phone before turning it on. try again to check if u can get to recovery or download modes while ur memory card is in ur phone. im a noob so i can't help much but maybe we can figure it out together
Did you tried to turn on your phone without sd card and SIM card?

thank you , ive tried a lots of manip with/without sim ; sd card ; even battery while coonecting the device ton pc , but nothing happen except , when i try to get into recovery or download mode , after about 10 seconds of pressing the bouttons , its like the phone is detected and the QHSUSB_DLOAD missing driver message appears again !! thats all
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

if ur still in warranty then the easiest way is to let samsung fix it for u
My point is there there isn't a software solution . Your phone won't boot into anything. that's why software isn't a solution. You need JTag. a usb jig MAY solve it, but that's the only option short of JTag

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.

if it gets detected.. there'll be another question
does it still enter BL (bootloader mode)? haven't been playing with my BA for a long time now, that i have already forgotten how to enter BL mode..
anyway.. if it still enters BL mode.. there may still be a lot of chance reviving it..
AW! i was not able to read the very first post carefully.. you are in the BL or bootloader mode.. to return to normal phone, just reset your device (poke the reset hole at the bottom) or remove the battery, replace it, then hit the power button..
getBL or enterBL is a program that resets your device and lets it enter BL (bootloader) mode.. you need to be in the bootloader mode to be able to flash new/upgrade ROMs..
anyway.. there is a more easier and safer/faster way of flashing roms that does not include the use of the memory card technique.. you only need the USB cable/cradle, your ROM and the RUU (upgrade utility) which will be run on the desktop pc.
where are you located in the phils? maybe i can help you..
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.

He was trying to port the ROM, not just blindly flashing something from another phone.
If no one bothered trying these sometimes crazy things, there wouldn't be much going on here at XDA.
Missing one line in your updater-script is all it takes. I had a similar incident while trying to flash ICS on my Gio. Way before Maclaw released anything here. Took that phone out for a while.

You might get download mode to work by removing the battery, plugging the USB cable in, holding Volume Down, Home and Power simultaneously, and putting the battery back in. Odin should recognize the phone, but in my case it went no further than trying to set up the connection.
I've also read reports on here that the USB jigs that put the proper resistance between pins (4 and 5 iirc) also work on the Gio to trigger a different "Factory" download mode. (Same ones as used on the Galaxy S GT-I9000.)
Good luck,

thank u my friend today i will take my gio to a phone repairer and he can unhardbrick by using box
hi, i was reading about bootloader that it has to be unlocked in order to flash custom roms
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.

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 don't see how you don't understand after all the replies... If your phone shows NO sign of life, (I.e. no download mode) You MUST either JTAG or wait for the SD/Hardware hack one of the Devs is working on.
That's it. End of story.

only odin that recognizez the phone is version 1.85 and the port is with yellow but it wont go past msg "setup connection" when trying to flash
so i know that jtag is the sollution but im wondering if there is other solution than jtag
i found a post in the i9300 section that it could be unbricked with a procedure but im not sure its aplicable to i747m

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.

That sounds exactly like the situation I had. Your motherboard is probably fried. Get it to your service center. Especially if you have the warranty.

he just said he heated on the memory chips or something like that .. apparently the flashing problem was my win 10 device . because once the phone show 9008 com on flashing software the flash process went ok on his win 7 device
There's another thing that I would like to add. When the flashing fails and phone becomes dead(seems dead), it is not in a powered off state i.e. it actually is in a dormant state in some occasions. That is, it doesn't respond to any actions performed like plugging to pc, plugging charger e.t.c.
For older phones with a removable battery, we could simply remove the battery and turn the phone off completely before trying to flash again.
But since newer phones like our Vibe P1 doesn't have a removable battery, we need to switch the phone off manually.
There is a method for that given in this link.
