First ,I would like to apologise if I'm starting a thread similar with others on this category but I hope for the best to find a different solution in my country.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Vibrant got it from a friend who bought it from TMobile . It had 2.1 eclair installed and I changed it with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169800&highlight=Malice using rom manager premium and installed it from my sd card . Everything was ok till the baterry went off and I had to charge it and switch it on .I had an error with a screen full of different points and colors till the Samsung Galaxy S logo appeared on . since that time I couldn't go to recovery,reboot mode anymore .The baterry was draining very fast so stupid rookie me tried to do it again with a 2.2.1 froyo SGH - T959 version . Odin was fine firmware update started but at the end it said failed .I took the usb cable out since nothing was happening for about 10 min and I tried to switch it on but it remained black . I cannot get into download with 3 button combo neither by pulling out the battery and connect the cable . I am not in US right now so I'm trying to find a solution close to my city and I cannot find anybody specialized to fix this kind of problems . I will appreciate your help as good as it gets !
You will need to have the phone's board JTAG repaired with re-written bootloaders. I can do this but I'm in the US. PM me if you run out of local options but be advised that if fallen into the wrong hands, the board can be damaged beyond the point of repair.

hey guys
i bought a Galaxy s couple of weeks ago (GT-I9000M). i rooted the phone using "one touch root".....then install "Vibrant9 Eclair 2.1" rom by "eugene373".....then before i could do the lag fix and Kernel, as soon as i plugged in my USB cable, my phone would shut down and go into a cycle of showing an empty battery icon (the phone is fully charged) then a black screen ...this would happen whenever i plugged in the USB in to the phone (no matter using my PC or wall charger) , it would automatically turn the phone off and do the same ..... after a while since i couldn't find a stock Bell rom ,i installed the T-mobile one using the following guide :
http:/ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748074
and btw right now the volume bottoms are other way round....(up turns down the sound and Vice-versa)
i was hoping if someone can help me out with this problem...so i can get my phone to connect again.(and fix the sound control volume)

hey
thanks for taking the time and answering .... but i have done the un-bricking thing as i mentioned .... i think i need a firmware that is not t-mobile cause my phone version is actually GT-I9000M not the SGH-T959 .... a firmware that i can use Odin and put on my phone using the download mode
cheers
Uh oh.. you're in loads of trouble because you're on the international phone and flashed a U.S. ROM.
I remembered when flashing the International leak of 2.2, it would cause a brick going back. Are you able to get into download mode? If you are, look in the I9000 forum for a Odin stock and try that.

@EmoBoiix3
thanks bro but...can u guide how to resolve my prob now
You need a jig or you have to send it for repair.
I bought my jig on Ebay for £1.49 post free.
It is a USB plug with a 300 mA resistor hot wired across pin 4 and 6 if I remember correctly and it basically resets the phone and kicks it into d/l mode - from there using Odin you can flash a firmware from samfirmware.com . YouTube jigs galaxy ace to see videos on how they work.
Also if you are in warranty - go back to the shop and say you were doing a KIES update and it buggered the phone (this is a known method of bricking a phone due to the ram limitation of KIES) - I did this with carphonewarehouse and it was away for 15 days - hence the reason I bought the jig - 2nd time I inserted the jig 3 seconds later i was flashing the phone.
As to your original brick EmoBoiix3 has already posted an informative warning on the use of ROM Manager - although the new version is suppose to work on the ACE.
Good luck in your endeavours.
thanks to all
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Player 5 / S Wifi 5.0 / YP-G70 from eBay (International Version). I tried flashing a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 Gingerbread ROM to it with Odin v1.3 and now it won't even light up or turn on. I thought it might work because the device is just like the I9000 without the phone. My device even tried looking for a cellular signal when it clearly did not have the phone capabilities. Now I'm afraid that I spent all this money for nothing.
I've tried every button combination to try to enter download mode and have tried a USB jig from eBay, but since the device doesn't light up or turn on I can't tell if anything has worked aside from Odin not recognizing the device.
Please help!
Update 1:
I've tried Heimdall and that too does not recognize the device. I've also opened the device up and tried buttons combinations with and without the battery and plugging in the device to my computer. Still no success. I think it still "works" because when I plug it in to charge, the back gets warm.
Update 2:
Okay, so I've placed an order to MobileTechVideos.com for their JTAG repair service. From other posts, I've concluded that I probably messed up the bootloader. I'll see how this goes.
Update 3:
Unfortunately MTV wasn't able to repair my device so I got a refund. They'll notify me if they get one working.
Update 4:
MTV found a working solution! I just received my repaired device in the mail today and it works like brand new! XD
go to nearest service center that would be helpful for u !
br
Thanks for the advice. Any other suggestions for the time being?

Hi. i have got my s2 since 10 months and no hassle. however since yesterday, the screen wont turn off and i could not make it turn on again using the home key. finally it completely switch off and i could not switch it on(neither soft or hard reset helped).
I just left in with the wall charger. nothing on the screen but once the battery was full, it vibrated and i could switched it on. it worked flawlessly for the day but now while i was using gtalk, same thing happened and i could not switched it on.
what could be the problem? i am an international user and bought the s2 from unlocked-mobile.com.
kindly note that i made no tweaking nor any custom firmware nor installed any new software. i only reecntly removed go launccher.
kindly help me please
if download mode works then u can flash ,or in recovery mode factory wipe.....yes forgot does it show charging batt icon ,wile charging?
Charge battery .
backup data factory reset phone ..
That fails try another battery .
That fails try Samsung service centre .
Or try download mode and flash new stock firmware via Odin .

ok will try flashing ics. but why would this happen? what is the cause of such problem?
ok i did flash the ics and still the same problem. help me plz
Sounds suspiciously like the "Sleep of Death". Been discussed at length in dozens and dozens and dozens of threads here.
thanks. but why suddenly i am having this?
i have not installed any new kernel, firrmware or programs.
I dont understand why people with stock not rooted phones comes here and thinks this is samsung service, since it is purely stock..go to the retailer or call samsung.

Hi I'm new to this forum so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this question but I didnt see a better one.
So.I got my SGS2 two weeks ago on Thursday (used,no warranty) and I was very happy with it ... only the fact that it seemed to be an issue ob Android 4.1.2 to drain the S2's battery like hell...so .. I flashed some custom roms (still based on JB) but nothing really happend...so I tried to flash back to 4.0.4 (which I have done before to update to stock JB again) and it got stuck on the repartition ..
Oh my ... I noticed something while writing.I flashed those files:
"[CSC] I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XENLP3_HOME"
"[PDA] I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XENLP3_HOME"
"[PHONE] I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XENLP3_HOME"
So .. I was JUST looking for the PIT file I flashed .. and .. looking on my desktop I noticed that theres an "s1_odin_20100512"...but when I flashed it before I used "u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4" which was in the package with the CSC,PDA and PHONE files above.So MAYBE I accidently used the S1 PIT file for flashing and that couldve been the reason why it got stuck.
However..it got stuck on the repartition so I took out the battery and wanted to restart the phone...and yeah .. didnt work.nothing works anymore .. no download mode, no boot, no recovery (no boot) .. BUT when I plug it to the USB cable it gets warm near the camera lens.So ive done some research and some spoke about a USB jig that might help.Ive ordered it but it still didnt arrive so Im stil waiting for it but im still trying to find a solution ... I got to this page [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242[/URL] and it says in the first post:
"Symptoms of 4.0.4 HARDBRICK :
-Phone dead
-No power up
-No boot
-No download mode (odin mode)
-No charging (usb/ac)
-Not detectable by pc / jtag
-Usb jig & jtag useless
-With battery(charged) inserted, phone(off) gets hot near the camera lens
-JUST A PIECE OF PLASTIC !!!!
-You feel really stupid about trying all this new stuff"
Theres no software on the phone at the moment as I made a factory reset and all this typical pre-flashing preparation but all those symptoms are correct .. So .. what could I do now?Is it hardbricked?Or is there anything I can do since I maybe flashed the S1 PIT ... ?! its the first time something went wrong while flashing and I think I cant afford another phone so fast as Im only 15 years old...so .. I hope someone can help me...

Try once the 'UsbJig' u ordered arrives, if the phone doesn't respond to it then IMO a 'Jtag' or a Motherboard replacement is the option left
never use a 'Pit' file unless and until ur shure of what ur doing

As I said,its the first time ever that something went wrong for me while flashing...however.going to do a JTAG soon..thanks
No.....Don't jtag....the way things stand....you still have warranty.....if you use jtag, Samsung WILL notice and will claim 'unauthorised rework' which will be used to deny warranty repair......
I assume that recovery and download modes are not available? and that you get no indication on the screen when you plug your charger in?
That being the case, not even Samsung can revive it, so there will be no evidence that the phone has been modified.
Take it to Samsung and 'play dumb'
Tell them you connected it to Kies and tried to update....the phone switched off then wouldn't switch on again.......
DON'T mention XDA
DON'T mention BRICK
DON'T mention .PIT
DON'T mention ODIN
DON'T mention CUSTOM ROM
DO blame KIES and UPDATE
ONLY if all that fails, should you consider jtag.......
Edit....forget all that.....just re read your OP and seen you stated you don't have warranty......though depending on where you live, Samsung sometimes offers a two year warranty.......
