I believe a "Jig" would help in this case. Can somebody confirm?

Redownload drivers and try again also I dont belive a jig will help. I know adrenalyne fixed my boys fascinate when he flashed an i9000 file. I believe he used hiemdall and some files adryn had. Like I said GO TO IRC and talk to the DEVS of anyone can help its those guys.......

Also.. You will have to use the method of getting in to download mode of the bad rom you flashed.. So it might not be down volume anymore

I know there are tons of questions here how to unbrick a phone. But, this is not about it.
I know you can't unbrick your phone if you messed up your download mode and you can't even boot up into download mode.
What are the causes why you can't enter in download mode?
How do I prevent destroying my download mode?
For others who are asking if they can unbrick their phones. I would answer you, yes as long as you have download mode you can do whatever you like. I have bricked my phone countless times already. But I am not sure until when my download mode will last.
I dont know if this applies for SGA but you can just use JTAG.
Some have lost the imei, this apears to be the only reason. It normaly happens through trying to unlock the phone.

@QNBT
thanks for your input. However I am asking ways to 'prevent' download mode from being destroyed
@Jusada
Does this mean if I don't brick my phone by unlocking, I can unbrick it by flashing.
And if gets bricked by unlockinge then I have to use jtag.?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA App
i have a galaxy s and not the ace, so i'm not 100% sure, but you can only permanently brick your phone when you start messing around with the bootloader
download mode is part of the bootloader, so as long as you leave the bootloader untouched, you can always boot into download mode and reflash the phone

Using JTAG youre actually able to boot up without a bootloader in the phone, it supplies everything from the computer.
If you want to prevent it from bricking, keep away from network unlocking as jusada mentioned. Only flash stuff that is compatible with your rom.
Just curious: if I accidentally plugged out my phone while flashing (in download mode) through ODIN, what would happen? Would it be bricked?
Asking for theories, not practices.

No it wont. You can get into download mode again and flash a ROM. Had happened to me many times.

i couldn't see anything displayed on my Samsung Galaxy ACE, even after the 3 button combo.. does this mean my phone is totally bricked?
I installed ROM manager and wen i tried to backup my current ROM, it shutdown and doesn't show anything now..
I'm in bad situation.. please advice me!!
by anychance the USB jig works?
In dis forum most of the people were briked their aces by using rom manager
it really does depends on whether it is a soft brick or a hard brick.

First of all you need to calm down.
Then you need to ask that buddy of yours exactly what he did.
Post how much ever information you can get. In the mean time put the phone on charging.

Can u go into download mode ? Volume Down+ Home button + Power button ?
You dont need to go into any mode, you can connect and flash by Odin while PHONE ! PC logo is displayed, just flash it again and be more careful in what you are doing.
The trouble is you don't know what your original rom was... If your mate just flashed a new rom on without knowing what was needed he may have flashed a custom rom onto a carrier rom... This is not easily fixable if you don't know what your carrier or stock rom was...
Just because someone has flashed their phone doesn't mean they know what they're doing. If its NOT the same phone, don't hand over your rather expensive toy...
Just download SAMSUNG KIES:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Restore your phone back to stock rom.
I can't go to download mode..many time i'm trying to make it..just be like that only,when i put on charging,the screen screen still like that..hurm..anyone can explain to me,how can i do??my friend said,his friend pull out the cable from the fon when he flash the rom into fon..then when he restart fon and want go to download mode...that screen come out..and won't go to download mode..

Not Kies, use Odin.
Phone will not boot, full brick. Anyone know how to remove the internal memory chip from the board and know of a device that can read it?
How did you manage this? A bit of information might be useful.
Thanks.

This might be helpful for taking the phone apart and working out what's what.

I would assume the chip would need some specialist equipment to read it though :/
Donate it to Adam outler for testing his unbrickable mod.
Bad luck dude.

Maybe its just dead and charging is broken? Worth trying an external charger or friends device to make sure, that really is bad luck I hope to get this phone but I wont be diving into roms until I'm sure this won't happen :/

Note + Don't blame the ROM, it is ALWAYS the USER, as it was your choice. Nobody made you try flash it!
Is your device a international I9300 or I9300T model?
What did you mean exactly "Phone will not boot", stuck at samsung logo? or phone just won't power on?
try usb jib for S3. you should be able to go to yellow download icon mode and then flash back the old stock rom again.

There was one time when I was able to get the LED on while plugged in to the PC, maybe that was it .I really hope that was it but Odin did not see it.

You have been asking many common questions asked. And you managed to install the wrong firmware? The thing you can do is to use a USB jig. If it doesn't work then many Jtag or samsung.
You really need to stop creating multiple threads. It's not your first time.
Your other thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33426283) for this issue even already has the answer you are looking for, and you even thanked the guy who linked you to the answer you were looking for. What's your issue now?
yes i know but this is another problem ... i cant seem to put it in download mode and i have search a lot of threads but none seems to be helping me
Use a USB jig. If it doesn't work, Jtag or Samsung. This question has been asked multiple times.
i know it has been asked but non of them are working with me are there any other way please i nedd some help, i have the firmware odin... but the only problem is that i cant put it in download mode

If you can't put it in download mode there is no other way. Unless you can go to CWM.

Hi,
I recently bought a gs2 however its not working, basically the guy who sold it to me was trying to upgrade it to latest software via xda apparently and now its blocked. it just flashes the screen, black screen, you can see the yellow triangle when i try to put it into recovery or download mode. i have done some research but cant get my head round it. it comes up on kies as pda:lpt/phone:lq6/csc:lpa(xeu) as current firmware version. i have tried using odin to re set it and flash it also however odin wont read it and wont come up yellow , i have removed and re set the drivers still not luck.
i am not very clued up on android as i used to use blackberry.
can anyone please help me on what to do and how to do it?
thank you
