Ok so to make a long story short, was trying to start from an unrooted hero and put cyanogen mod on it. rooted succesfully, was having an error with the amon_ra, decided to reinstall the 2.1 .5 ruu and start over. During that process, it froze at 45%, after about an hour, disconnected, tried redoing it and now when i turn the phone on, nothing happens. I can plug the usb cord in, and the htc logo comes on, then unplug the cord and i get an error screen with green writing on the top and RUU highlighted in orange and a triangle error on the bottom.
help?

So, I got the new HD2, and tried selling my g1, never did, so it just sat on the usb cable in the back of my computer, the other day I come to try and turn it on - nothing. No recovery, no bootloader, not even the blue light mode.
So I figure it might be a dead batterie, I have a backup which I know is charged, I put it in, boots to the g1 logo, then bootloops, so I pull the battery, then boot it again just to see if it will boot, it goes to the G1 screen, then the phone just shut off, and won't turn on, theres no LED when it's connected to the computer/wall, or anything, The phone was fine a week ago, any ideas on what could've happened? Thanks.
I have a stock, non rooted i9000m with bell. I have never tried to root or change anything on this phone.
The phone started flashing at the top USB connected but I did not connect the USB cord, I turned the phone off and now when I try to down it on it will flash the quick loading circle as if I was going to charge it when its turned off.
I have tried the 3 button reset but it flashes the same loading circle.
Any ideas?
Hello all,
I searched around, but didn't find anything quite like my issue so figured I'd create a new thread.
I work for a company that uses Galaxy Tabs for various purposes. One of our men brought back their VZW Galaxy Tab (SCH-i800) and it was in an infinite boot loop.
I went to recovery and attempted to do a full wipe. This did not work (partitions were all jacked up) so I couldn't get it fixed. I'm not sure if the guy tried to root the thing and broke it or what.
Anyway, I was attempting to root then fix the partitions (then was going to flash a stock unrooted rom) and ended up soft bricking it (Phone Icon -- /!\ -- Computer Icon). The issue I'm having is the only time that screen comes up is when the device is plugged into the wall. It turns on, then off, then on, then off. If I unplug the device, it shuts down with no way of bringing it back up. I've tried holding power for 5 minutes, the same amount of time with power + vol up and power + vol down. Plugging it into the computer's USB ports does not help either.
It's like the battery is drained but it won't charge when it's on the soft brick screen. I've had it plugged in to the wall for almost 6 hours now with no hope in sight. When it's plugged in, I feel heat on the back of the device like it would normally be charging. The AC adapter is also the standard warmth after a lengthy charge.
I was wondering if anybody has had similar issues with this device and if there is any way to correct it.
--- EDIT 8/10/2012 ---
Another thing of note is when the device is charging, I can power it down by holding power for a few seconds, but the Soft Brick screen pops back up almost immediately upon release of the button.
I cannot boot into recovery or the standard download mode even when it's plugged in.
As long as you can get the Phone ! PC screen, your'e good, because this screen IS as a download screen. Go to this screen and flash a known good ROM.

You must not have read the whole thing. Not a problem.
The only time I get the Phone ! PC screen is when it's plugged in to the wall. As soon as I unplug it, it goes away and the device won't start up no matter what I try.
When you connect the tab to the pc, is it recognized by Odin.

No... When the device is unplugged from the wall it is shut down and won't boot back to the download screen, recovery, nothing. It doesn't turn on. There are occasions where the download screen stays up but it appears to just be frozen. The computer doesn't recognize it and neither does Odin.
I left it plugged in when I left work on Friday... Going to see if charging for the weekend does anything.

No dice.. still jacked.
I determined the following scenarios may have happened:
1) The battery died (bad battery) during a software update and messed up the partitions
2) The battery died (bad battery) while he attempted to (unauthorized) root or flash the device, messing up the partitions.
The only thing I'm sure of is the battery is fried so any kind of hacking I can do to the device are for naught. I was able to get it to connect to Odin this morning for about 3 minutes (after having it plugged in to the wall all weekend). During the flash it shut down again bricking it even worse. Now the device won't turn on when plugged in to the wall.
Thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm calling this a lost cause at this point. We're just swapping out the device for a new one. Once that's complete, I may tear the device down and try to do a reset on the main board to see if that does anything, though I doubt that's the case.
Right I had exactly the same problem as you (exactly the same symptoms) but I have now fixed my tablet.
Like you I got to the point where the Tablet had enough charge to actually unplug it and connect it to my PC where I then tried to flash a stock ROM using Odin. About three quarters of the way through flashing the stock ROM the tablet died, disconnected from Odin and I got a message in the task list in Odin advising me that the process had failed. Even weirder my PC did an emergency shut down and restarted in safe mode.
Anyway I tried it again but when I started my machine, once I'd logged onto my desktop I started up Odin as quickly as possibly, selected the .tar file and pressed start as quickly as possible....it worked and my tablet was flashed with a stock ROM. However my battery was still pretty much dead and the first time of charging once it had been flashed with the ROM took about 24hrs plugged in at a mains charger for the battery to reach 100%.
My point is persevere with it and you will fix it. I was at the point where I was about to send it off to be un-bricked but obviously I'm glad I didn't now.
It is a ***** of a brick though, this 'coma brick'.
I've been having these same issue with my friends i800 galaxy tab. Can you chime in and offer some advice?

same problem-solved
I was having the exact same issue. the device screen was completely black when plugged into the computer. I was just about to give up when, all of a sudden the device went to the boot error screen while plugged into my computer. Apparently, it must remain plugged into the computer for about 20-30 minutes. Once this screen appeared, I ran the Heimdall one-click unbrick utility, and like magic, my galaxy tab was working again. Give it a try, and good luck.

I am having this issue with my sch-i800.... phone /!\ pc screen only when plugged into the wall, and no recognition of it on the pc. Any way of fixing it?
Hello, I was with this guide and follow every step. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev website. I S-Off my phone after almost 30 times doing the wire trick (Juopunutbear). But when I tried to update the HBOOT to Juopunutbear's (which in the guide the author have it attached to download), all I get is the HTC logo loading a green bar which stops at 85% aprox and then there I wait like 40 minutes and nothing, so I tried to stop the process by touching any button and nothing, so I unplugged the USB cable, then I see a white HBOOT screen with only an RUU option and it did nothing with any button, so I decided to remove the battery.
After that my phone never turn on again. When I connect it to the charger, it blinks the LED in orange and green, when I connect it to the USB sometimes it do the same with the LED, sometimes it just get static in green... I hear a USB-connect sound when I plug it and a disconnect USB sound when disconnect it.
I have no idea what to do or what I've done.
Help me please.
Can you get into hboot ?pull the battery Vol- , and power ?

There is a post in the Android Development section for the Vivid that says something about unbricking your phone...I would check there. Just sounds like its partial, but not bricked. Not sure though.

use the unbricking tool stickied in the development forum
I was doing this tut, forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852546 , and I was at the part installing JW4. (I dont believe my phone was the i9000) anyway, It says...When it finishes, your phone will automatically reboot, upon which you can unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
This did work, and it did say pass. But it never rebooted. When i tried to reboot, it wont turn on. It wont boot into recovery, or download mode. I dont know what else to do at thing point. The battery was charged, and when i plug it in now, no light showing charging etc. Any idea would be great. Thanks.
Try to remove your battery to 15 minutes and then instert it. And launch Download mode again
Tried, still wont boot into anything. Tried every button combo. Tried removing battery and holding power for a minute. I'm still getting nothing though
