I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i9070 which I was attempting to flash a new ROM onto via ODIN, everything looked successful, ODIN confirmed flash was a success and automatically rebooted the phone. Once the phone turned off, it never came back on. black screen. Tried removing the battery (fully charged at the time). Tried the usual Vol Down + Home Button + Power button and still nothing, done the same with the micro USB cable plugged in, device manager popped up in Windows and promptly closed again, some generic hard detected it didn't stay on the screen long enough for me to see.
So is it definitely bricked? is there any way to recover it, I've read some people have recovered variant models e.g. S5830 but this isn't working to the i7090. If it is bricked is the only option to try using a JIG? I've read a few posts but I'm not really that technical on the hardware side (any tutorials with pictures might help). If it does have to go to a service center can anyone recommend one I can post it to in the UK and generally how much does a unbricking service cost?
Apologies if I've missed any pertinent forum posts, but I have had a real good look around and kind of given up now, so any help would be be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Try recovery mode and clear cache partition and dalvik if you can...

I cant enter recovery mode as the phone wont turn on
Try another usb port, and never a hub...

Tried two different cables but from the back USB port of my PC and no dice.
So, i' afraid, you have an expensivo brick

It does indeed look that way
I've ordered a USB from ebay and hoping that will bring it back from the dead, hopefully worth the £1.25. Can anyone answer the following question. What is the experience between soft bricked and hard bricked? do they both appear with a black screen, or does softbrick still boot but doesn't enter download mode.
Also does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware (Ginerbread) for the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-i9070P (on Orange UK)? tried looking but I'm going to need this if the JIG does indeed work!
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me but the I9070 and I9070p are NOT the Galaxy Ace but the S Advance. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2099

Your absolutely correct, apologies for the confusion :/
Please can the moderator change the thread title to "[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070P" and move to "Samsung Galaxy S Advance I9070 > Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
For the firmware package, look for it at sammobile.com. Firmware section. There you can choose your model name and, luckily, download the pack... Just extract it and flash with ODIN

Thanks. Do you know if the GT-I9070P share a generic model number? I’ve looked at sammobile firmware and there are no firmwares for the GT-I9070?
It should have an GT I9070P firmware section... If not, try google friend

Seems like your phone unfortunately is a hard brick. The reason I think this is because one it doesn't respond to anything. Two the USB jig didn't work and three seeing as you thought that your phone was the Galaxy Ace it is most likely you flashed a Galaxy Ace rom which hard bricked your phone as it isn't meat for your phone.

Hi guys.
I have recently bricked my samsung i5500 by flashing it with wrong software(that's what I think anyway). Phone is not responding at all. The screen is black at all times. I've tried volume down + ok + call end with no effect also UnBrickableMod didn't help. Is there any way to get it to work again? Thanks.
Try flashing a stock ROM from samfirmware.com...use ODIN...you can obtain the instructions easily from google...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
If you can get into download mode, then just use odin to flash to stock. If not you could use a jig to get into download mode if no button combinations work.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA
First of all thanks for you reply. Second of all: no button combination works so I can't get it into download mode and I don't use Windows. I have Ubuntu on my netbook and Odin won't work under wine because wine doesn't support usb ports. Is there any way of getting it into download mode on Ubuntu?
Is there a possibility of breaking it completely if I use homemade usb jig with slightly different resistors? I mean +/- 20k.
EDIT: usb jig won't work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT 2: went to Carphone Warehouse and they gave me brand new phone Problem solved.
Our spare GT15500 just went blank on me as well, no button combos work, I dont have a jig or know what one is. Its rooted with stock 2.2.
i have just flashed it with the wrong Sofware (by accident) and it wasnt working so i disconnected it now it wont boot and wont go into recovery mode or download mode please help????
Sounds like a hard brick, there isn't a way to recover it. Out of interest what software did you flash? Was it just a wrong package or was it software that was designed for a different phone? There might be a minor chance of recovery depending on what went wrong. (But don't get your hopes up)
it was my dads galaxy s2 and the original software for my galaxy s i hope there is a way to unbrick it would it help if i said i didn't root it before i started i forgot and went straight into it ??
That's a pretty bad mistake... The only way you could possibly recover it is if you buy a USB Jig and give that a try. Otherwise I'm afraid your up **** creek without a paddle.
Jig
Seems u have Bricked your Device Use USB Jig to UnBrick it
1. USB jig to force into download mode
2. Key combo (Vol down + home + power) and then immediately connect to PC via USB, or try at same time
3. JTag repair
4. Samsung repair

You did a big mistake, you can only use a USB jig and hope the cell reboot!
You can buy a USB JIG from Amazon using the following link:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...d-keywords=usb+jig&x=0&y=0&tag=011080bfcam-20
Or you can even make your own USB JIG. Here is a useful video that shows you how to make a a USB JIG

You'll need to send it to someone who owns one. Will usually be cheaper than Samsung.

A JIG won't ever help in these situations. JTAG is the only solution left.
A JIG is to force a phone to download mode with a WORKING bootloader. You messed up the whole phone my flashing a I9000 fw, including the bootloader.
the battery gets hot when i charge it i plug in the jig and the battery goes flat anything there??

Ok, I made the stupid mistake of flashing the international BlackStar_v3 rom on my rogers SIII and now its bricked and won't turn on or boot into download mode(as far as i believe) When I plugged in my phone via usb it installed qhsusb_dload, but I have no idea what that means
Does Odin recognise it?

Unfortunately if download/adb can't be accessed, you won't be able to unbrick the phone. Have you tried pulling the battery? Are you using Vol. Down + Home + Power to try and access it?
At this point you are hard bricked it sounds like. You need a JTAG repair to be able to use your phone again. I would suggest using www.mobiletechvideos.com for your JTAG repair. They'll get you going again!
Hello everyone, I really need help. I own a galaxy s3 at telus and rooted it. I than tried to flash a custom rom ( cm10 and aokp) but consistently got a status 7 error so I tried to use aokp.

Correct me if I'm wrong as I just got my S3 yesterday, but if you had a USB Jig, wouldn't you be able to force download mode to flash a new ROM via Odin? Read this link, I'm not 100% sure though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286
Try using a USB jig.. it may be just a softbrick. But if the USB jig does not do the trick, then you my friend have hardbricked your phone. To get this fixed, you have to get JTAG services near you.. or if you are on warranty, maybe sending it to your service center will be less of a hassle

You can make a jig and force download mode just Google it, its only a resistor between two connections on the plug!

If you manage to revive it through a jig: please make sure you got the i9300 S3 not another model, since they are not compatible!
There's been talk about booting the Galaxy phone's bootloader from a specially formatted sdcard and with a rather uncommon jig ohmage, but I'm not sure it applies to the s3

I think it does, if I'm not mistaken it was a leak of the official jtag documentation
Op look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891197 then see if anyone near you had a jig. Then contact them to borrow their jig instead of making one.
You really named yourself "bricked my s3 help"
