Hello
I have the next issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500
And it bricked when I closed odin 4.36 after, when the phone was in downloading mode due that there was no completion. I wanted to install a newer version of the clockwork (mod) recovery.
I installed an old version but was unable to install the CyanogenMod (hte one from psyke83) that I wanted. And after I wanted to try a newer version of the clockwork (mod).
And now the phone is with the PC---to Phone icon brick mode.
I tried the volume down + main button + power off and isn't working
Also i tried to run the one click unbrick and isn't able to connect to the phone. Seems that the phone doesn't reach the computer
I tried an usb list (lsusb) in the ubuntu and does appear if i connect it.
I tried both in windows 7 and ubuntu
Do you think is a softbrick? Any clues? recomendations or questions for more details
did you find any solution..
i have no warranty since it as directly imported..i have the same problem ..
i was trying to backup my rom when it bricked.. (using rom manager) .... i tried volume down + home + power button (disconnect button) but nothings showed up.

I had a problem with the buttons on the phone the volume down wasn't working.
What do you mean by home button the one with the home icon or the main one with the metal borders because is that button the one that you need to use.
I also tried the resitor of 301kohms between the pins 4 and 5 didn't work.
Now i have the 2.3.7 working stable at the moment
try that combination of buttons if not tell me
I am pretty sure there is nothing you can do about it, if it is completely bricked.
And the phone won't turn on, in any case what so ever?

Depends if it is hard bricked or soft bricked. If the screens turns on and appears the PC---/!\ --- phone. The he can try to use the three key combination or the usb homemade jig. Otherwise he can try to find someone with the JTAG
search in google JTAG galaxy for more info.
sounds like a hard brick. People claim that taking the battery and sim out of the phone for 30 mins (min) and then putting back in and booting to download mode sometimes works
You could try that
MY BROTHER IS IN THE WAY YOU DOWNLOAD but equally can not install any OTHER ONE IS A STRONG BRICK
On galaxy s this also happens from time to time, even i had it once. Try if Odin possibly connects anyway and flash again, if not, remove your battery leave it out for 60 seconds and then try if you can get to download mode again. You definitely have not hardbricked your device...

My GT i5500 Boots into Download mode but I can't seem to find all Stock firmware including CSC etc, all the links I have tried on here are dead or don't have the correct fw for my phone. I would use CFW if I knew what was good and worked but I am not to sure. Any suggestions??
The Stock firmware has the letter code of NJ**2P the stars are unknown letters or numbers but its a UK phone.

Did you already try: vol up, menu, power on (by this order, holding them all together in the end) ???
(It might be that for your device you should press and hold: vol down, home button, power)
Did you try taking out the battery (for 10 - 15 secs) and trying the above combination again???
Also you might find this page of interest for your case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. Credits to @neerajganga
Please take a look at your PM messages.
A last comment; in my experience, using the latest version of Odin and firmware from the links I sent you, never required extra files (like pit or any other type).
Best of luck! :good: Share how it goes!

I was putting the new update on and Odin was doing its thing. it went black now I got the stupid screen of a phone pic a yellow triangle and a computer. I know my phone is hardware locked what can I do? I rooted it with the one click root but no rom was installed.
Do you have adb running? You do know there was a fix for hardware locked vibrants, right?
If you have adb running & your phone can be seen by your pc it might be possible to get the sbl file pushed in to flash. Not sure it would work this way but it might be worth a shot. Not to sure what commands you would need either.

I did search and search on hardware locked and bricked phones. My first post was about all I see is the phone, yellow triangle and the computer icons. I pulled the battery hold the volume up and down both put the battery in plugged in the usb cord and It goes right to the symbols of the phone, yellow triangle and the computer. Odin does not see my phone sorry but I have studied for hours how to root and do several things to my vibrant by myself. This has me stumped and looking for help.

Nothing. The 3-button fix should have been applied prior to flashing anything! You need a new phone, unless somehow, magically, after searching these forums and trying the (at least) 20+ ways people claim to get into download mode work.
None have worked on mine.
im not asking if ODIN can see your phone. I was asking if ADB sees your phone...
Do you have ADB setup? if so, what happens when you type:
adb remount
If you do have adb setup and nothing happens then you are in the same boat as southplatte.
get the samsung captivate back to download mode
I have similar problem like that. When i use Odin3 one click flash the ROM. It stuck in the middle of flash. I take off the usb cable out ,try to reboot the phone. Oop .. the screen show the sign of the phone--- yellow triangle with exclamation sign in the middle---computer icon. Can do nothing with it, because the computer now can not connect with the phone.
In my case, I take the USB off the phone but still connect with the computer. Hold the volume button + power until the phone flash in black screen .This moment happen very quick ,it will go back to the unconnected sign again. When the screen turn black just release power button but still press volume button (otherwise it not working) hook the USB back in your phone right on that moment. The Phone go back to download mode. If not work try couple time ,important is timing right on the moment the flash to black screen .
Now ,you can use the odin3 flash the ROM again. It works for me ,and i try again same situation couple times. it really works.
hopefully, this will help for who got the same problem.

Omg Thank You! you just saved me 2hrs. Try this method if you guys get the triangle sign. It works!
Same issue...
Galaxy S 4g Tmobile - tried pulling all cards and battery and 3-button trick but to no avail. Never enters downloading mode. How can I tell if I'm fully bricked?
Dharra, youre in the wrong forum altogether
OP, try a jig. If that doesnt get you into download.mode, listen very carefully: youre ****ed.
Your only remaining options will be to send it to someone with a riff box (pm connexions2005 or go to mobiletechvideos.com) or do the unbrickable mod and run the unbricking app.
If you do fix your phone, do the hw lock fix right ****ing away!!

hello,
need help,
i also have display on my screen (cellphone)...(!)...(PC).
i tried the battery pull and plug in the usb and holding the vol- vol + buttons. still get the same thing. i also tried the holding the all 3 buttons (power) untill the screen went blank then release and plugged in the usb. no change.
i do get a chime on my windows xp that usb is connected but nothing shows up
also odin does shoes connected (comm XXX) but every time i try to re flash it just sits there on the "initialization"
what can i do?
What bootloader do you have? If GB press vol down and power together then plug in USB.
I dont know where to start.

Isn't the bell version like the i9000m version or something? Not sure why you would flash a stock T959 rom...
Sent from my Bullet fast, Winning Vibrant
Your phone is a Vibrant but it's the i9000m version. T959 is for the US variant.
It looks like you're gonna have to find a way to ODIN back to your stock so I suggest you head on over to the i9000 forums since that model is closer to what you're sporting.
BTW: once you get your phone back on track, check out this thread to unlock it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747235

pressing volume button with the power button when not connected to pc just shows the logo of samsung and galaxy s and repeat these two logos..
and when connected to pc, it does dark screen/loading/empty battery with loading..
when connected to pc, i can try to run

Press just both the volume +/- and plug it in

when i do that,
my phone would show the

then it would show
vibrant
samsung logo
then it will go dark
and repeat this again..and again and again
if i let it go
it just boots to the galaxy s phone (so it would ask me for sim network unlock pin, i can dismiss it to get the phone working.. not rly working.. but android os will show)
if you're trying to hit download mode, you've got to do a battery pull first.
1. pull battery
2. hold down volume +/-
3. while holding down buttons, reinsert battery & plug in USB.
This works for me everytime.

I would say first try getting into download mode(by pressing volume up & the power button simultaneously). After that, connect your phone to your PC,run "Odin 1.85"(just google that sentence, you will get it), after that use odin to flash a stock samsung ROM to your phone.
download this stock ROM to be used with odin :
http://skywanker.net/download/downl...9100_XEO_I9100XWLP8_I9100OXALPS_I9100XXLPS.7z
the exact details on how to flash the link I gave above to your phone is on this link:

Good luck!!
Tried Vol up and power button but nth happend. Still Yellow triangle and black question mark....
For download mode its volume down home and power key.Try this if it goes in to download mode then follow the rest of the steps from the above post

You need to press the Home button as well.
I'd remove batteries, wait for at least 5 s. Then try entering Download mode with
(Vol Down Home, Power)
If it still won't work then you'd need to get a USB jig as noted in previous posts.
And no it is not your fault, KIES is not a very good piece of software.

Are you still getting this screen? This is a forced download mode. You can try an Odin flash from here.
apparently you are new to this so..... here it goes
1: first check you got i9100 not i9100G
2: kies told you to remove and reconnect blaa blaa so it can restore the error. if you cant manage to fix it, than easy method is like post above said. use odin.
3: read about how to use odin, close kies, download stock ROM (checkfus / sammobile ) and flash, it will be fixed.
4: no need for jig at the moment.
if ur in download mode jus use odin an c if it recognizes,yes means flash up....by the way kies is safe
Well i think i ve got I9100G, can i still use Odin?????
YES,
though search threads in this section :http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1550
cant you make sure or still think it is "G"
Yes it is MODEL:GT-I9100G

G section of the forum .
i9100 firmware will brick a G model .
jje
Well i opened ODIN put an I9100G Rom as PDA and pressed start but after half an hour it is still <ID:0/008> SetupConnection..
It's in forced download mode, it should still be coming up "COM:x" in ODIN right? You should be able to flash a recovery package from there. It should take 5 minutes at the most, not 30.
where did you get ROM from...what type of file????
Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!
Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it. Things that are wrong with it - when you turn the phone on it just comes up with samsung Galaxy S2 gt-19100 with a yellow triangle under it, it wont go any further. I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this.
Thanks
1). Check under battery for exact model number
2). Download a stock ROM for the model you find
3). [optional but recommended] check the battery level and if necessary charge in another phone to make sure it's not going to die while doing the next step
4). Flash a stock ROM via Odin
5). If it doesn't boot, go to recovery and factory reset

Hi, thanks for ur reply Oinky. Where would i find a stock rom? I am completely new to this sorry, and under Model, it just says GT-19100, is the bit below anything to do with it aswell, SSN: -19100GSMH? Also at the min i cant get into recovery to do a factory reset? Again sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the reply
You can find stock ROMs http://www.samfirmware.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, the latter having a tutorial too.
Are you sure you can't get into recovery? Your first post made me think you were getting into download mode and thinking that was recovery. Vol Up + Home + Power (from off)

Hi, sorry for confusing, when i hold vol up home and power it dosnt do anything, just turns the phone on, well to the screen it wont go past! Also how do i no which stock rom to choose? what letters should i be looking for?
I think you're still doing it wrong then, as I don't think there even exists a kernel for this phone which doesn't have recovery. Hold volume up and home, then also hold power for about five seconds.
Regarding stock ROM, just pick the latest for your region (presumably XEU if by o2 you mean UK o2).

Flashing literally any I9100 kernel, be that stock or custom would still have recovery. I suspect the device is much worse off than first realised.
Once you flash the stock firmware the phone will boot up normally again.
Any firmware will work.
any ideas how i would fix a handset that is alot worse than 1st expected??

Follow the Odin method and you will be fine. As long as you have Kies closed (This includes the 3 kies apps that run in task manager!) there will be no problems.
Hopefully you will get a bargin on a new smartphone.
Well that didnt go well, it fails with odin3 after about 5 seconds, Should i just give up?
What error messages if any do you get? Screenshots or logs would help.

We need a lot more info. What did you flash, how did you flash it. Where did you get the firmware. I ask the last question because according to your profile, you just created this account today. Which tells me you got the firmware elsewhere.

How did you try to enter the Recovery mode?
What key combination?

To boot into recovery you want to release the buttons by the second Samsung logo pop-up. And don't plug into computer. That's for download mode.
Regardless, I don't see recovery being much help to you if Odin is not working for you.
Is odin showing that its successfully flashing your phone? After flashing back to stock with Odin, is the siyah logo at least gone?

Yes, but you need to describe everything you did and everything that happened to make you want to flash back to stock. Without knowing what caused the problem in the first place, we can't help you very much. You say you installed many roms (stock, custom). Your phone probably did not fail randomly. There is probably some event or circumstance you can think of, or change you made, just before it failed. Please be specific.

Hold the Vol+/- & PWR button at the same time, when seeing first boot, keep holding all 3, when past 2nd boot screen, release all 3.
There's no PC involved.

So i try to put in recovery mode and i hold volume upvolume down+power and in the second boot when i see the samsung logo i release and nothing happend. and i see only the samsung galax logo bla bla.. when i turn on the phone normally i can see the samsung logo then de siyah kernel and stack there. if i wait some minutes its restart and do it again.
