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??

[Q] Bricked Gio... any ideas?

Hi all,
i just bricked my Galaxy Gio... i installed Rom Manager, downloaded CWM Recovery 4.0.1.5 which according to this:
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
page is the version to use with the Gio. After flashing CWM Recovery I turned the phone off.
Now my phone is _completely_ bricked... it doesn't respond to any input at all, it doesn't respond to my pushings of the on/off button.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Flash stock with odin, plus there was a thread to not to flash cwm from rom manager.

Odin won't detect it... I guess I'll have to turn it in to my operator.

They will charge you for money, i think you need peteragent5s guide to unbrick your gio....

I found this:
http://androidflip.com/unbrick-samsung-android-phones-click-guide/
in a thread here... trying it now...

It seems that the phone is bricked permanently... it won't even go into download mode... :'(

Look for unbricking tutorial thread in
The Android Development section here by Peteragent5. There is a soultion to unbrick gio. And if you ever want to flash CWM, flash it from stock recovery (press home and power button at the same time when phone is off)

everyone! Its no use, you have to bring it back, say that you dropped it or something, they repaired mine for free
Sent from my good ol’ Gio

Give it to the service guarantees if you have
Say that when you update your phone software Kies is disabled and will not turn on
The program you probably burned RomManager Memory Storage Capacity
So for anything they should not come
A Kies as it gets updated Boot can load anything so as to disconnect the phone is dead
Perhaps exchange the motherboard and that's all

Thanks...
...for your commitment folks, i really appreciate it.
I turned the phone in to 3 today, they will probably have to replace the motherboard as Rom Manager seems to have... messed it up bigtime.
Hopefully they won't charge me much for this though in the reparation log it says:
Warranty: None
Insurance: None
I got the phone just a few months ago when changing mobile operator to 3... i'm really happy with the phone, just have to fully understand that in the Android world your not quite as protected as in the realm of iOS – for better and worse.

Man, try to send it for service. A friend of mine melted his cellphone motherboard just by installing a ROM with RomManager. Don't use RM anymore, it doesn't always work properly and sometimes may cause really BIG problems..

[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...

You can get a usb jig for less than 2 dollar or something if making your own doesnt work

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..

Plz help ;( BRICKED PHONE

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

There is a tutorial on how to make a samsung usb jig somewhere here on xda...

ROM Manager is not compatible with galaxy Gio,
Once I experienced this problem too.
Samsung Service Center is the solution,

it sure is compitable, if you use it on the right way. but if you dont know that, it will result in an hard brick.
just tell samsung it happened after upgrading to gingerbread with kies, nothing about rooting or else

oh okay
thank you for answering, I was just reading about how to do it right,

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've test it yesterday,i fix my friend's phone that have the same problem (his phone bricked by rom manager too) and it was success..

I have the same problem. Tryed to install a custom rom, now my phone is dead and just good enough to build walls with.
Cant get into download mode, cant turn it on, completely dead.
Does those usb jig's work, or are they worth trying?

Once i had this problem. I tried flash using odin and it solved my problem.

I bricked my phone.

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
The Chinese are improving themselves!
