I bricked my phone. - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

I think I bricked my phone
I turned it off to boot into download mode but it doesn't boot anymore, not even in recovery, and it doesn't charge when I plug it in.

You could try to go into download mode with a jig. I bought one for about €3, which unfortunately didn't work because it was hardbricked.
but it was worth the shot.
Also you could try hooking it up to your computer and try to fix it with the program Odin. Try this before you buy a jig.
Search for both options on this forum or Google.

I tried Odin, it doesn't recognize, I bought my phone 5 days ago, I'll try to get it replaced or get my money back.

odin with reinstall

if your phone cant be charged,it means bootloader have lost.
you have two choices,go to service center or jtag

Rooting/Update gone wrong

I am in need of major help.
My brother attempted to root and update my phone to the leaked ICS fd16. All was going well until the usb cable accidentally disconnected and now I'm stuck with a partial update and only keep on getting a "firmware has encountared problem" message. It will allow me to go into download mode but it won't let me get into the recovery screen to run a full factory reset.
I can't run an emergency firmware recovery through Kies since there aren't any backup files. Not only that but now my phone can't be recognized through my macbook.
I have attempted to use the usb cable that came with the phone as well as another HTC cable I had in hand from a previous model I owned.
I don't want to take it to Sprint yet since it was my fault that we even attempted this modification and I was even told that Sprint wont be able to replace my phone right then and there for another phone.
I'm going out of town on Monday so ordering a jig or sending it mobiletech is not an option. Any help right now would truly be appreciated.
THANKS
As long as you can get into download mode you are OK. Just download any rom tar to your computer and odin it to your phone in download mode. Should fix it.

Your best bet try another USB port.... Still no go use windows PC.... I have the drivers for the phone send me a pm if you need it.
Edit:http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Developer-Tools/ODIN.shtml give that Mac version of Odin a try. But maybe you already have it. Have u tried hemidall? I think thats how its spelled

Probably hard broken phone ?!

Hello,
This morning I want to make my own custom rom with kitchen dsixda.
after the first boot has hung at boot animation.
in the horizontal format i could see a part of the home screen and I want to restart the phone.
it will not turn on anymore and if I plug in phone via usb to computer message comes QSUSB_DLOAD driver is not installed.
No download and no recovery mode possible.
I pull out battery about 20 minutes...nothing.
I'll send it to SCS. I have called and said there that phone will not turn on anymore.
There were no further questions on the hotline.
The question:
can thay see that I had custom rom on my phone.
Then my warranty is gone.
Or is there away to repair the phone itself with some tools??

Flashed Android Revolution, device stopped reponding

About 20 minutes ago I started Flashing Android Revolution HD on my device then the screen went black. Nothing's happened since then and now it won't start up or anything. What's going on?
I do believe that rom is for the international gs3.

Well is there anything I can do at this point, or have I totally bricked my device?

I tried it and nothing. Same with recovery mode. Kies all can't detect my phone.
I guess I managed to ruin my phone :\

Yes, sir, please get into that mode for me but first make sure your phone is off and then i'll guide you through the rest.
BTW: Are you at a computer? This requires you to download a stock image for your device which is around ~600MB.

I have the tar file in PDA on ODIN, but I can't get my device into download mode because it won't respond. I tried hitting start on Odin anyway but nothing happened.
I was thinking I could tell my computer somehow the device is my phone but I'm not sure if that would help without it being in download mode.
Edit: I'm reading through the post and discovered people in a similar position to me, my charging light does turn on red with no battery in. I'll see if there's some magic fix on that thread somewhere.

Okay so we need to focus on getting your phone into DL mode. Pull the battery for one minute and hold the power button down for ten seconds; re-insert the battery and try to get into DL mode again.

No luck.
The only thing I can get it to do is turn the red light on when I plug it in with no battery
If you're sure you can't get into download mode then your best bet is to get a USB jig. They're fairly inexpensive, i'll link you one. This jig has good reviews and works for pretty much any Samsung device with DL mode:

Edit: I'll be buying one eventually to test it out. Just ordered one, it will be here Tuesday.

I'm reading all about how the S Series is almost impossible to really brick, so trying this USB Jig couldn't hurt I guess. I mean it's 4 bucks so I'll try it and update with how it goes
and Wond3r: Because I'm a dumbass
Subscribe to the thread. I will post my results when I get the jig. I read that it works in the thread I linked you to. Don't worry

Dude sorry to say but you are done, this has happened to plenty of people on this forum. Your phone is dead (the jig WILL NOT help you, you will need a jtag/warrantee to fix it at this point. Your phone will probably say qusb_dload or something if you try to plug it into your pc, further confirming that fact.

Have fun testin a jig that dont help here. YOUR PHONE IS A DOORSTOP. The link wont help because he didnt flash an international boot image, he flash a whole international rom. look at the script in an international rom vs one of your scripts. The partitioning is ****ked now.

[Q] Can't get into neither download nor recovery mode => DEVICE UNACCESSIBLE

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..
