[Q] Any way to unbrick my phone?

Hi,
please excuse for double posting this but I think I posted in the wrong forum before. Please find my previous post below:
Hi,
this morning I flashed froyo JPK onto my phone (GT-I9000M( and everything was working great until I downloaded a file through dropbox and suddenly my screen went black. I had to take out the battery to restart the phone and then it got stuck in an endless loop of blinking start up logo.
When trying to get into recovery mode I get the message it can't mound /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. I have tried several things I found here on the forums, including going back to stock UGJH2 but still the same.
Any suggestions on what to do? Do I have to send it in? The problem is I bought this phone through ebay as I am living in Australia so not sure if my local Samsung will be of any help.
Additional info:
I think I really screwed something. On another forum someone suggested to use the JM5 ROM and so I did. Now I can't even get my phone into download/recovery mode anymore. Any help on this or do I have to get it fixed in a service centre?
Thanks,
b3n

[Q] help please! stuck on at&t world phone screen

okay im getting completely frantic right now, i tried to flash the newest cognition ROM from stock 2.1 rooted from recover and it all loaded fine but i kept getting force closes com.android.phone or something and then i was like okay ill just restore my last backup and did that but now it wont boot past the at&t world phone screen and i cant get into recovery. ive read other threads about this but theyre all different situations so i wanted help for my specific situation. i love all the devs help and hard work on this site and i hope my phone is not bricked because ive only had it for about 2 weeks. so please a fast response would be appreciated, i would like to have my phone fixed by tonight thanks in advance guys oh and also i am able to get into download mode i just dont know what that does.

no one knows?

nevermind everyone i got it using odin

Just reflash use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 or you can search for odin one click by DG.

Odin. You will be fine. Just search and read. Be careful what you do and try your best to understand what you are doing before you panic.
You were getting fc on cog so instead of reading and re -flashing you panicked then flashed a 2. 1 back up over 2. 2 with voodoo lagfix active. :O it is not the end of the world. I do hope you have a PC and not a MAC. Odin will flash you back to stock but you will need to search and read. Good luck
Captivate
Cog 2.2

I think I'm in a similar boat... tried to flash back to JH7 after getting tired of froyo versions that I didn't like. Now I'm stuck at the AT&T screen and nothing works... no matter what button I hold while I power the phone on, I get nothing. Any advice?
Update: I think I may have something here... found a guide talking about JTAG stuff that suggested holding both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable... seems to have gotten me to the "downloading..." screen. That's a plus.

[Q] pattern locked. cant figure it out!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 try that, it has all the stock ROMs just reflash with odin and that should do the trick, instructions on how to do it are on that post too,
good luck
** As your gunna re-flash, Have you not considered a new custom ROM altogether ? plenty to chose from on this site. **

I suggest you follow the above link and flash to stock. It's very simple.. takes me 10 mins to get back to stock and up and I have only done this 2 times. There are people who do it several times a week.
I suggest you go for Darky's 8.0 ROM if you're new. It's one of the best.

So... i bricked my Galaxy Tab... HELP!!!

So I was retarded and followed the instructions (or started to) on androidadvices dot com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-stable-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware
My Tablet will not boot past the T-Mobile logo.......... they are being assholes and telling me i need to deal with samsung ......... who told me it would be 6-8 weeks for a replacement........ is there ANYONE out there that can help me with just resetting it???

If you can get to the T_Mobile logo, you probably have a working bootloader and that mean you just need to flash the correct firmware for you device.
In short words, go to samfirmware.com and download the right firmware for your tablet model.
Once you have the firmware, flash them to your tablet with 'odin' (flash software, that you can also get in the mentioned website).
This should solve the problem.

If this works I will love you.

So i am obviously more retarded than I thought pedrohfsd ........ I have an SGH-T849 and i cannot FIND the firmware on that site..... seriously? UGH

pm me i'll tell you what to do , with th stock firmware for Tmobile , i helped someone before 2days he had same tab with you ) and same problem

You sir, are brilliant.
I wasn't able to locate the firmware on the samfirmware.com but I DID find it on XDA from another user. Put phone into download mode... waited till the little box in Odin turned yellow and loaded that badboy on there. After about 5 minutes it was back into the 2.2 OS again. The only problem that I had was with programs that had been installed before and loaded at boot (Just had to uninstall / reinstall) But for the most part its back to the way it was.
Thanks so much for your help!
You too Kosh, as I am sure you were going to walk me through exactly what I fumbled through on my own (I'm lucky I didn't blow anything up haha)
NO more attempts to get 2.3 on this badboy!
Thanks again all <3

I'm glad to hear that KalKainen, the first time i soft bricked my phone i got desperate too.
But after some weeks i saw the inumerous progressions that people develop in custom roms here in xda, and flashed the whole thing again =P.

Amen man..... desprate is about right.. haha... now if i could only figure out why i have to CONSTANTLY reboot it in order to restore network service (Even though I have 3g and full bars... no text messages send / come in and programs that use data error out... ) I would be happy. This has been happening for the last 4 months badly enough that I can have to reset it 10 times in a 2 hour period >.< I cant even put it into flight mode.... but after I TRY putting it into flight mode and then reboot it... it comes BACK in flight mode.... I hoped the reinstall of the firmware would fix it.. but alas..... still plagued. AT LEAST IT WORKS THOUGH!!

Please help me. Bootloop, No Recovery. Urgent!

Hey guys my cousin tried to upload a custom rom on his Galaxy S3 Mini, and something went wrong.
When i checked the base model before it went into bootloop it said it was the 8190N, but when i take the battery off, it says I8190 (Not N).
i can't go into recovery mode. i can only get to download mode. i am trying to find a solution, i am trying to find an official rom, that might help me, but it seems i can't get it to work.
My cousin has to leave tomorrow for a travel, and it is important to have his phone back...
Can you please help me with some advice?
Last custom rom that tried to get installed was virginity, it got root and super user, but after the installation of the rom, it got into bootloop.
Please share some ideas - links.
Thanks,
Ted

Just for future reference...
I managed to fix it. It took me all night because sammobile sucks when it comes to download speed.
the phone was actually i8190, but for some strange reason it said i8190N in the About info.
when i managed to find the original official stock rom, i was able to upload it through Odin and download mode.
