Even I have a Mac, but I haven't bricked my phone (yet). I am also worried that if I brick my phone that I won't be able to restore it. I think the only solution is getting boot camp for Mac, that is when you have both Mac and windows on one computer and then restore your phone, there is also an application called heidmall which is the equivalent to Odin but it is too complicated .

I don't have expierence with a mac but it should work pretty much the same as on windows, it does on linux. so go here, it's a walk-through that will tell you all you need to know.

The best way I have seen to fix this is this,
1 stand up
2 pick up Mac
3 walk to your garage
4 found a hammer
5 beat the living hell out of your Mac
6 go to the store and get anything with windows on (vista will even be ok as its an upgrade for you)
7 download Odin and profit
Nah just messing with you man

See post 3 for help
I have read it doesn't work because my fascinate doesn't have a proper (secondary) bootloader. How/where do I remedy this?
Just as a note for all, the official Heimdall thread on xda is not a good place to ask questions about it. I asked a very straight forward question which I do not think has already been answered in the thread. Not a single reply... not even a troll!
Well, it's hard to help you when you fail to provide details.
Start with this thread for how to use heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746
Tell us what you did that caused the issue. Then let us know if you can get into download mode on the phone. Also, what package are you trying to use to restore? You need a FULL Odin package like EB01 if your secondary boot-loader is indeed missing.

[Q] Question about brick ?

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

Do not say that we are not helpfull man!
Maybe no one that read your post has found a solution yet!!!
I actually stopped in this thread once ready to help this guy out but he mentions he is on froyo...
MY device came with Gingerbread, so rooting is as easy as user superoneclick (heck, there is a youtube video talking about how easy it is to root on the 5 but the 4 will be able to do the same). Sadly, advising this with this froyo uncertainty might have the potential of bricking the device, so I passed by this thread saying nothing. So I'll just do this...
Did you do a OTA update through your device's settings and check if there is a Firmware update? Once in Settings, go near the bottom and click the ABOUT button and click system updates - wifi is of course needed but wifi is everywhere even Mcdonalds for free. Update your rom accordingly to get to Gingerbread at least on the device. Then check this video -
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aA4bw8bU4T4
Once rooted, check this thread to choose your kernal and rom you want to flash -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720457
I highly advise Ethereal rom [or Icy Fusion], and for the kernal Terrasilent [or Klin Rev 3] . Be sure to flash the Kernal FIRST not the rom so you can have recovery features in case things go wrong.
P.S. You probably got bypassed btw due to heavy focus is being brought towards other thread s like the ICS thread for 4.0 device or everyone has a thread they particular hang out in. Or it could be that these type of threads like yours pop up so often every month that the people here just glaze over the threads like these telling themselves why don't they do a search in google (like I searched "root samsung Galaxy Player 4" and my first link above is the first one that pops up in google, which is the video i referenced to root mine the first time) or check the All in one thread in the developers section of the Samsung Galaxy Player 4/5 forum (which I linked above as well). I don't mind helping though but that might be because I'm kinda still new here...

Dang people what's wrong with you!!! (kidding ). Hmm if you want GB I can offer you the 2.3.6 update in a separate tar and you can flash it from here. From this point, you can flash any custom rom based on stock. Dang froyo, for how much time you had this?
Can i sir? Include the tutorial too
Btw i cant see any system update under setting and about device..

Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
You can use Samsung's Kies to upgrade to the latest firmware.
However if you have rooted and modified some stuff, there might be a chance of getting your device bricked.
Also, make sure you have pressed Power+VolDown+Home key to get into flashing mode when you use odin.

Wait a minute, which odin are you using? You need odin 1.7 to flash on the YP-G1.
Yes sir i use the one in ur thread 1.7. My galaxy y detects odin but my yp is not. Maybe i should use the own yp usb cable and not the cable from sgy do u think thats the problem?

Maybe, I never saw a case where a phone is recognized and the other device isn't. The only alternative I could is is heimdall but it's longer than odin. Assuming you have tried all the usb ports on your computer. Have you tried to flash on another computer?
NOT YET SIR, maybe i should try to other PC with vista OS
heimdal is for linux os isn't?

so i bricked my samsung galaxy 10.1 and cannot get passed the samsung screen on boot. I install the recovery tar and still...I think I have to install a tar file through odin but i cannot find clockwork mod file in tar, only zip.

So always keep a copy and backup of ur data and rom from now on..:highfive:

the help is much appreciated as I had been hacking at it for two days. it was not easy finding the firmware but I eventually found it and it is now backed up in a safe place with a proper name. Tablet is running like brand new. although I like my new Nexus 7 a lot more. learning that I just had to install the firmware and not a ROM made all of the difference. I was about to give up but I have never given up in the past and I'm not about to start. I was a little more patient but I was finally able to get it back up thanks to your advice.

I tried flashing a kernel through CWM running on JB 4.3 stocked rooted, just got the phone a week ago. Nothing will work, no recovery, no download, I tried using Win32 disk img flasher, didn't work.

Without download mode you will need a usb jig or jtag. Sounds like you probably flashed the wrong file to get that effect, in which case you do have a hard brick.
