Did you follow the guide by Nicon?
Try putting it into download mode again, hold '9' down while you power on the phone.

Something must have gone wrong with either communication during flash or bad selection of files to load and where.

Unfortunatly you don't have many options but since you cannot even get the phone into DOWNLOAD mode. I am guessing that the boot loader and/or usb boot was not flashed properly.

My recommendation to you is to go to a Samsung service center and tell them that your phone just ran out of batteries and refused to start again. Whatever you do do Not tell them that you tried to flash it. If you do your warrenty is down the drain :P

Good luck.

If you know how to manually program the flash chip you can. This though definatly means loosing your warrenty since you have to open it up.

You can try to pull it off where you bought the phone so they send it in but if the service center reject it the phone store will probably charge you for the shipping etc.

Not sure. Just turn it in and say it broke by itself and hope that they reprogram in for you before considering that.
