[Guide]To UnBrick (a Soft Brick) SGS GT-I9000

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??

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.

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.

please change the title to softbrick galaxy w :good:

We call hardbrick if there is no Download mode and Recovery Mode (Clockworkmod).

Title wrong spelling. And please change it to soft brick, everyone knows about this procedure. What we need is hard brick solution.

so when you reboot your device it goes back to downloading mode directly???
becasue when i try same thing like you .. my phone was rebooting but it got stuck on the Samsung Logo.
what i know is ... you can you Volume up + home button+on.off button to go to recovery mode
so when you press all 3 together and see Samsung Galaxy on device .. release them... and it will go to recovery mode...
for me it works like that.
i am newbie to Android... so i am telling you this from my personal information.
give it a try if you feel like
thanks

Well you can only get into download mode. So you need to install a custom recovery using odine. CWM is short for clockwork mod recovery. Find a how to and install cwm using odine.
Another custom recovery is TWRP. I like using TWRP. Has a nice touch interface.

If you have a computer download a Rom of your liking then install meaning find the file on your sd card then flash it? I recommend something close to the stock Rom then try new ones btw make a back up of your stock rom!!!!!! P.s. Look at YouTube for tutorials on how to?

To be more clear.
You said you can't boot into recovery. You can only boot into download mode. What download mode means is that you have to install cwm from a computer using odine. You connect your phone to a computer using a USB cable. Boot your phone into download mode. Open odine on your PC select the cwm odine file and push it to your phone. Disconnect your phone from your pc. Then you can put a ROM on your exSDcard and boot into recover and install the ROM.
Do a search on xda on how to install cwm using odine. I'm not going to write how to do it here cause you can search and do it your self. Good luck

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.

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.
