Hey guys, I just want to ask you how to unbrick this phone.
I tried to port FirefoxOS to our phone, I flashed it successfully, clicked to reboot phone, and BOOM, just black screen, I can't enter Download mode, Recovery, nothing works, even usb to pc is not working. Tried everything and nothing works... I hope you guys will help me.
Even tried homemade jig and it's not working... It is dead or bricked?
>No Download Mode
>No Recovery
>USB is not working too
>Got 1 battery but it was on 80%
>Homemade jig is not working.

Hi,
yesterday i got my sgs and first i wanted to update it to JM5.
Because 3 of my friends have the same phone i know what to do.
First i tried to get into download mode but it doesn´t work.
I found here in the forum (thread 749470) "Australia Optus Galaxy S no download mode!" that i´m not the only one with this problem.
Someone told me to use "adb reboot download" to enter download mode - and this worked fine. The working android appeared on the screen.
Odin now found the phone and i tried to flash but it always ended with "file analysis....". So I found help in this forum - restart pc, start odin as admin, use another firmware, try other usb port - nothing happened - last thing: remove the battery for 30sec and try again.
NOW: SGS alway shows the same pic: a phone + ! + PC - but PC can´t find phone, phone can´t be switched off - nothing!
What can I do now except taking the phone back to my dealer?
I appended a pic from my display.
Thanks for your help!

if you can not get into download mode, then there is no way to fix it
you'll have to send it back to the store, to have it repaired
hmm, you can press at least the power button for 7-10 seconds, then the phone reboots, mybe you are able to go into download or recovery mode, with those button combinations.
but isn't that icon his screen shows, meant to connect the phone to pc and start kies so kies can fix it? (at least i read sth like that on forum) but if this all doesn'T work i don't know
You can always switch the phone off, pull the battery out. ( Avoid doing so when flashing though. )

This guide is really not all that useful.
Take out the battery, and reboot by first pressing voldown+home and then power and wait until you see the yellow download screen.
I'd recommend not doing anything with a phone that you can't get into download mode from a cold start with. Too much can go wrong. Leave it on stock.
I remember seeing that screen when I thought I had bricked my phone, I think I managed to pull back by removing the battery and trying again.

that is only because your 3 button combination was working
in his case, his 3 buttons are not working
there is a batch of samsung phones that came from factory with the 3 button combo disabled
Having the same issue. Think the stores will replace it under warranty like this?
Hey guys i am new at this forum. And i came here for a reason. Because maybe you guys can solve my problem. ok so 2 days ago i got a awesome cyanogenmod9 on my samsung gio device. But then i saw a topic about google now. I did the instructions and my samsung viewed black screen. I thought never mind i still can fix it. So yesterday i was flasing the tar file with the one package option from ODIN. It was then i saw a big green PASS!. But then it stayed on closing usb port and rebooting. i had set it on auto-rebooting/ but then i put the cable out and then the thing wont turn on. So guys please help here is some information:
Odin 4.42
Tricks that didnt worked:
3 button combination
Battery out and battery in.
And when i charge the phone the phone gets very hot. so its charging only i see nothing. And when i plug my phone into my usb ODIN recognizes my device. but later it stays on server connection...
Thanks for helping a noob out. and again hello
hold power + home button to enter recovery
do a factory reset/ wipe data,cache, dalvik
reboot

It's not download mode, it's recovery. You hold two keys, not three
Hey guys.A while back I wanted to install adfree so I rooted my e975.Sometime in August I updated the android to 4.4.2 and I think the phone got unrooted.But SuperSU was still installed and I wanted it removed.So I tried a factory reset (settings->backup&reset->factory reset data) but SuperSU was still there afterwards.
Then I thought I should flash the kdz.So I tried to get my phone into download mode (volume buttons pressed and then connect to pc) but the screen shows nothing.I also tried going into recovery (volume down+power button) but that doesn't appear to work either.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my phone?Everything else is working fine so maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Sorry if something doesn't make sense, English isn't my first language.
No one has any ideas?
I think this may be a hardware problem so I should find a way to hide the fact that the phone got rooted in case I need to sent it back.Is there any way to remove SuperSU without flashing the kdz?

Thanks for helping me brijen95.I just tried what you said and volume down+power key doesn't seem to work.The screen just stays black so I can't do a hard reset.Vol+ and connect to pc doesn't work either.The phone just starts charging after a few seconds.I also just reinstalled the drivers but it didn't change anything.
I had a hard time getting into download mode recently as well. What ended up working for me was holding the volume keys for about 10 seconds, then while still holding the buttons, plugging the usb cable into the phone.
No that didn't work either .
Is there any way to remove SuperSU?Keep in mind that my phone is not rooted anymore.
Edit: Well I just found out that the phone is entering download mode but not showing anything on the screen.I managed to flash the kdz with no issues.
Hello guys! I couldn't find the answer on any other thread, so here I am.
What I did: I tried to flash CM 11 many times, but the wifi never worked. So searching for a fix I found this, and after changing the needed file I rebooted the phone. The phone got stucked on the SO logo screen for about 20/30 min and then I decided to reboot it again (OK, stupid idead :silly. But it never booted! If I plug the USB cable, the phone enters on a boot loop. If I don't, the phone even turns on. And in neither way I can enter on recovery mode or download mode. So I can't flash the ROM again. I tried many button combinations and nothing worked. I really don't know what to do! Need some help here
I appreciate any efforts to help me bring my phone back. Thanks!
Fixed!
After much tries I got to fix my phone :victory:
Here's what I did:
Took off SIM, card and battery;
Plugged the phone on computer;
Entered in download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON + HOME BUTTON);
Flashed stock ROM via Odin.
I tried the download mode many many times. You need to have a little luck to get it. Hope this help someone!
Hi guys!
I'm trying to bring back to life a Gio from a friend who somehow killed it trying to flash it.
Now the phone does nothing besides turn on the back light of the screen. I can´t put it in download mode or recovery mode.
Although Windows and Odin found the phone can´t flash it. I'm guessing because I can't get the phone to enter download mode.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Thanks!
UPDATE
I've manege to make a usb jig to try to enter in download mode. But, as before, when I connect it just turn on the back light of the screen.
The jig works fine on another phone.
Any tips??
No one??
