are you trying to root your phone

yeah I'm trying to root a device .. but now it has not work and a black screen .. I tried to on but does not work ..

Try and get into download mode. Make sure the phone is switched off (pull the battery out for a minute then put it back in). Then press the volume down & home buttons & keep holding them down. At the same time press the power button until you boot into download mode.
If you can get into download mode, connect your phone to PC via USB & start Odin. Check Windoze Task Manager & make sure Kies isn't open. If it is, close Kies & it's associated processes. Now, if Odin recognises your phone & you have COM highlighted in yellow, you should be able to fix it.
At this stage, download stock firmware from Samfirmware if you haven't already. From there, flash the stock firmware in Odin and follow whatever instructions Samfirmware have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site (important).
Now...If you can't get into download mode, you can try a jig. If the jig doesn't work, you'll either need to get a JTAG repair done, or send it in to Samsung/your carrier for repair.

Ok. What file/s were you using in Odin and what did you put where?
I think I've heard of similar things happen before when flashing galaxy s firmware on an S2.
As MB said, your only chance is to get download mode working before having to send it off.

thanks 4 advices..
I have sent to the repairer .. he said I was burning device ic .. is it reasonable?

That does not make sense .
Burning device what with blowtorch .

This is a forced download mode. Essentially means you have to flash a working firmware before the phone will boot.

huhhhh...
I think to send the device to Samsung, is he able to find damage caused by my error?

My vibrant got bricked ! can`t access to recovery mode

Image that you have a hardware locked vibrant and bricked !!
all the methods that was discussed about getting locked vibrant into recovery mode or even download mode has failed except the adb method which successfully got me to the download mode , I uploaded customized ROM and PIT in odin and that`s all the phone can`t be started not even showing battery bar or recognized by my laptop ..
does that mean it`s dead ??would it be covered by Samsung warranty ...
thanks in advance
as long as you can get to download mode it's never dead.. why would you flash a custom ROM immediately? try flashing a stock pit and tar 1st.. then once your recovered go to custom ROM
yea but my vibrant can`t be detected by PC so adb method wouldn`t work ....
I may try making a homemade JIG hoping it to force download mode ..
I know you said you try everything, but just incase, did you try turning on odin with stock pit and tar in, then plug in the usb, with the battery out. hold down volume + and - and then plug in the battery? Should bring you to "download mode" hit start. It work all the time for me. Sorry if you did try it, but it was just incase you havn't.

Use Odin to flash a new kernel (Clockwork Recovery for example) as PDA. This time do NOT unplug before its finished.
Remember to flash the kernel while you're in DOWNLOAD MODE: Vol down + Home + Power
Try to get into either recovery or download mode.
TURN PHONE OFF
VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER
IF IT WORKS, PLUG IN AND OPEN ODIN AND FLASH AGAIN
hope it works for you

So you mean your device is completely dead? No Download mode, no keys are working, right?
Have you tried to pull out the battery for some secs and put it back again?
Regards.
Yes try to remove battery and put back in, and if nothing works then you broke the phone, time to send it back (tell them you did samsung kies update and this happened)

If you have tried all the things suggested and the phone cannot switch on, then how do you think Samsung will switch it on?
Right now you have an expensive paper-weight. And to be honest, you deserve it. The instructions for flashing the ROM will have told you not to unplug the USB until the flashing process was finished and roughly how long the flashing time would take.
So you have nothing to loose returning it to Samsung saying that it happened updating their KIES.

Ace Totally Bricked

I usually work with iPhones so Android phones are a new field for me...
I have a friend who rooted his Samsung Galaxy Ace and then installed Android 2.3.4 but he decided to install something as he says that "doubles the ram memory of the device" well as soon as he installed this the phone immediatelly got bricked.
I have it here in my hands and I tried entering RECOVERY, DOWNLOAD mode and it was impossible.
So I tried pressing all the button (Vol+,Vol-, Home and Power) and the device was USB recognized by my PC,installed its own drivers but nothing showed up on the screen. Then I pressed Home and Power and USB sound ran again and from there on the phone does not react to any combination of buttons, taking out the battery or anything and the PC does not see it anymore.
I tried to be as specific as possible cause I really want to help this guy... So If anyone knows what are the possible solutions besides "take it to samsung care center" I'd really appreciate it!
Thansk!
Install KIES from Samsung so you have the drivers for the phone.
Install ODIN and run on your pc so you can flash a stock ROM (you don't need to have KIES running at the same time)
Take the battery out of the phone and connect it to the pc with ODIN running via USB.
If ODIN detects the phone put the battery back in and now you can flash with a stock rom and your phone will now work.
There are instructions on this forum where to find ODIN and how to load a ROM into it ready to flash.
have u tried the USB Jig?

I'd save that for plan B, If it's showing up on a PC it's not bricked.
Bricked = no power, no response, no detect by pc no nothing.

But Can I download any ODIN? Because I've seen through the forum that there are several ODINs for different Samsung Models... besides there are several ODIN versions! So which one do I need to download? Please a little help here cause in the Android field I'm still a noob!
Also as I told you, the first time the PC recognized the phone when I pressed ALL the buttons... but afterwards it does not recognize it anymore... does it have to do anything with that KIES you are just telling me about? Also which KIES should I download?
Thansk!
To me it doesnt wounds like its "Totally Bricked", take the battery out and leave if there for awhile, come back later on and see if you can enter download mode.
If you want you drivers to be installed correctly, download the KIES (2.1 i guess?) and get ODIN to reflash it.

Ok... this is as far as I have come.... The guide for unbricking seems good, there is only one problem. I've already Loaded ODIN with the firmware files and boot, and all those files. But I can NOT, I repeat I can NOT enter DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol-,Home, Power Buttons). I can only enter EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol+,Vol-, Home and Power Buttons) and the good news is that ODIN is ABLE to recognize it, BUT as soon as I hit star it stays stuck at "<1> setup connection..." Well before you start saying to search forum for solutions, well I did, and I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188378
The guy had this same problem and he realized his problem was that he was entering EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE rather than DOWNLOAD MODE. BUT I can NOT enter DOWNLOAD MODE the phone just doesn't enter this mode, only the EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE so what can I do to make ODIN flash my phone!!????? Please help!!

USB Jig , and stop posting the same question twice

Ok So I finally did it. Bought the USB Jig! From here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-I910...90122901388427
And Guess What! IT DID NOT WORK!!!
This was my last resort and now I don't know what to do! But pay attention the funny thing, AS I mentioned earlier in ALL my posts! Is that the phone is recognized by ODIN but only in EMERGENCY DOWNLOAD MODE (It even says "COM PORT 18") But in this mode ODIN doesn't flash it, I needed DOWNLOAD MODE which was the reason why I bought the USB JIG, but it is not working! Is there a some kind of workaround to get the JIG working? PLEASE I REALLY REALLY need help!!!
Thanks!

Galaxy S2 i9100 3UK Help Please

Hey,
I decided last night I would try and backup my phone, however Kies thought it would be fun to start updating, and somehow it locked up. Now I get a message on my phone that says :-
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Now I have done what it says however everytime i connect it up i get a message saying "USB Device Not Recognised"
I have downloaded the drivers, with no such luck, and tried installing them via Kies again with no joy. Reading on the forum I found out about the recovery mode which I have manage to get the phone into and downloaded what I thought was the right thing but it's not working at all.
I think what Ideally i need is a way to get the phone back to a working version, I just have no idea how to do it. I have downloaded Odin as that seems to be a program that every page says.
Not sure if you need the information but it was on 3G UK network.
Sorry this probably sounds extremely noob like but I've spent 10 hours on it already and am confused beyond imagination
Kies is one of them horrible programs that just doesnt work properly.
as you have read about Odin, i will assume you know you can use this to flash a stock firmware to your phone.
Have a look for intratechs thread of offical firmwares (linked below), download one for your phone and flash it via odin.
Please read the top information in his thread it tells you what to do and how to do it.

How do i resolve the other issue of windows not recognizing it ?
put the phone in download mode and pc should recognize the phone
If we're talking about a phone running stock firmware that you've never mucked around with (rooted it, run non-stock firmware on it, etc, etc), send it in to Samsung/whomever you bought it from for warranty service.'
If you start flashing things in order to try & fix it, you run the slight risk you might brick it/void your warranty. Which means you end up paying to get it fixed.
I wouldn't tempt fate if I were in your situation.
If we're talking about a phone you've been mucking around with (like most of us here ), then go to Samfirmware.com & search for the original firmware that came with your phone & flash it following whatever instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
Alternatively, if you're happy with the latest firmware available for your phone model/carrier/country, find/download the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google). This will allow you to download a tarball of the latest available firmware for your carrier/country, which you can flash according to the instructions here.
Also, before you do anything, try a factory reset if you haven't already.
1.Find your new firmware version and download the file from the links
2.Extract the file, so that you now have a .tar file.
3.Download and run the Odin software from the provided link (200KB)
4.Reboot the phone to download mode
To do this, turn the phone off, then simultaneously press the volume down key, the home button and then press the power button. If you see a warning, press the volume up button to continue.
5.In Odin, click the button named “PDA” and select your .tar file (your rom).
If the rom has several files, also put in the PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC files. but do NOT put in a .pit file.
6.Connect the phone to the computer with usb cable, and wait till ID:COM turns yellow.
7.Click the “Start” button, and Odin will flash your rom.
As simple as that.
I have the files however CANNOT get windows to detect the phone....it simply refuses every single time.
All i get is USB Device Not Recognised
Which i get after holding down, Power, Vol Down and Menu till i get the download screen. Occassionally (VERY RARELY) it has been detected by odin then fails on factory

Are you plugged directly into a port on the PC, and not through a keyboard pass-through port, or a USB hub? Or have you tried a different cable?
Ok guys,
I have got it to the point it is able to flash now. Problem is I have some dodgy yellow ! and it wont go any further than that.
How do I get rid of that and get back to bog standard everything, I have used CheckFus and downloaded the firmware but it wont get rid of the !

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
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????
