How to Flash F/W after bricking my phone

---

Hello,

Well i'm new here and i had a little problem with my new Samsung Galaxy S i9000. Today i wanted to flash my phone but after the first time my 3G connection wouldn't work. So after that i did a second try but this time something went wrong and i pulled the cable of the phone (i know u shouldn't do that!). Now when i start up my phone it shows a picture that i need to connect my phone to my computer. But when i do that trying to reflash it, it takes ages and nothing happens, Odins shows only these Command lines and nothing more even after 15 minutes:

<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

I tried al kind things like these follow:

20.WHAAAA! I think I bricked my phone. My flash was unsuccessful/My device boots to a black screen/similar scenarios. Can I still save my device?
Most likely: YES! In almost any case, you should still be able to turn off the device (if necessary by removing the battery) and start into download-mode (VolumeDown+Home+Power) or recovery-mode (VolumeUp+Home+Power). After (for example) an unsuccessful flash, you can retry the flash in download-mode (same steps as when flashing a functioning device). If a flash to a function f/w (without apply any update.zip) doesn't help or you cannot get you PC to flash at all, you can ask for help here. (Please try to reboot your PC as well if you cannot flash and try FAQ8 if you have trouble with getting the phone recognized on Windows 7/Vista x64)
If you see a symbol asking you to connect to the PC, depending on how you arrived at this point, it may be sufficient to connect to the PC and run Odin (i.e. press "start" when the phone is recognized) without adding any files. This may, however, leave some residual issues if (for example) had an incorrect/incomplete flash so you may want to do a normal flash after this!

But still nothing works, but though i still can get the phone into download mode, Recovery mode (VolumeUp+Home+Power let me show the sign that i need my phone connect to the Pc).

Please help me i really could use some help with this!

Wait, what? So you're saying that the first time you flashed, everything worked but you forgot to put the correct APN settings from settings menu to enable 3G. If so,

it's hard to brick the phone.

I tried repartition the storage, while flash an small flash file, so in theory, a "clean" partition of storage w/o any kernel and what not, and I could still flash the f/w.

that said, when it happens to me (when it's an empty partition), the phone will appear not to be boot up, and then you may find yourself not being able to go into download mode. chances are, the phone might appear to be power off, but its probably in a panic mode at the previous boot up, so there's no way you can change to download mode.

just take out the battery, leave it for 30s-1min, and then put battery back and then do the volumne down + home button + power button to bring the phone into the download mode.

RTFFAQFFS!

I managed to get my SGS back to life after taken my battery out for like 2 minutes or more...

I'm flashing atm and still working great!

Now i need only make shore that my modem (3g connection) will work, last time i couldn't set my settings back for APN.

But still a question here,

Does anybody knows the best working firmware for europe, The Netherlands?

Thanks for the help Guys!!! i really do!
