so i rooted my phone installed rom manager and flashed something like colckwork rom of hawai mini i switched of my mobile.Today in morning when i tried to tun it on it wont only a black screen no sound no logo no vibration I even tried to remove and insert battery but no luck.I think its a hard brick i got this mobile on 28 feb 2011 and it is still under 1 year warrenty of samsung so can i get a new mobile in place of it or just recover it.(I have the UK system here noot of USA)
can you tell me any way to unbrick it any any one
I have done something similar to my Samsung Vibrant. Rooted and was in process of installing new ROM when on restart got a screen that has Vibrant at the top of screen and Samsung on the bottom of screen then a blank black screen and then goen into a vibrating loop of single vibrate and then another single vibrate and then a triple vibrate and then it starts the loop over again. The only thing I can do is pull the battery to stop it. Anyone know of any thing I can do to correct this or to revert the ROM or anything?
Thank you
Larry
Take it to T-Mobile and say when you turned it on it was like this and they might send it off to be replaced.
i hate those people who wanna pay their insurance for their silly things and fails!
i hope, tmobile won't take it back.
let's see..it's really hard to brick a phone though.
had some problems with my further hd2 as well..yeah, you get really annoyed but if you chill out, in 99% of the cases you'll find a solution.

so guys i live in india here it is called galaxy pop i went to samsung service center and there they replaced my motherboard for free cause it was still in warranty .I will get it next tuesday
I have this model, too. But it is called GT-S5570. It works fine, but i bought it network lock. Have you succeded unlock it?
Had the same, the solution is simple:
Download the newest firmware at samfirmware.com
Use Odin Multi Downloader to upload the firmware to your mobile
(mobile needs to be in download mode, this should still work. Try volume down + home + power)
Just upload the clean firmware and it should be done. The complete guide is placed on the same website on the download page.

download mode is not available while is bricked, changing the firmware is NOT an option.

And I, I hate little brained guys who says f***king silly things like you. You're not just a little german, you're also a big sucker.
I swear you will have a problem with your phone, and no solution. Really I wish you that.
For other people who has this problem, don't worry, your phone is frozen, so they can't diagnose it. Just say you was syncronizing with Kies, and it happend the phone turned off and that's impossible to restart it. They'll just give you a new one or repair it.
HI
try these ways
it works with my galaxy s
Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector,
the last thing u can try is the jigs

Man that volume up and down doesn't support if you have a completely hard bricked phone .
And the jig does works but why use your penny if xda developed a unbricker wich really works for free
I prefer xda undricker the best

Hello guys.I have a galaxy mini and i tried to root it.Everything went fine.Then i saw that an application "Rom manager" would be helpful for my phone.
So i installed it(like an idiot).
Then i tried to install clockwork mode (smthg like that from rom manager) and boom!Everything went black.
I tried to go into recovery mode,download mode NOTHING.
I tried to a lot of things but nothing is working.
Odin recognises my phone when i use volume up+home+end!But it stucks on setup.Again tried to do it in that way but still nothing.
Last i tried that jig thing.I bought 3x100k ohm resistors and do it like he says(that video from youtube) BUT STILL NOTHING.
I dont know what to do!
I would be gratefull if some1 could give me an advice to make it to turn on!
Tyyy.
This is exactly what happened to me too. Did Service centre repair it for free ? What did you tell them ? Please help. ITs urgent/ Bricked black screen.

This!!!
rooted phone!! installed Titanium Backup pro, rom-manager (though i didnt use it).
First i removed yahoofinance.apk thingy... it went black but recovered to charging mode (battery charging screen)... odd i thought.. and (like a idiot) booted up and removed livebackground forest thingy... now!
Pitch black, no state of recovery.
Just thist:
Vol up, home and power button. makes it visible to windows and odin.. KIES failes to connect it...
Its almost like... i got one first warning.. and then samsung decided to **** me!
is it somekind of "security lock"?, its not like i removed the kernel.
EDIT: so.. im messing around... The only thing that one really gets comunication with is the modem circuits, so it looks that way... But then what do i know...
ODIN connects to the same com-port as the samsung modem reports having in device manager!, so i asume this is unit it uses to when transfering the data, flashing.
Other: i get some different behaviors... etc, i would use "volup, home and power" to make it visible in win and then i could just use the power button to get the connection on and off (or rather reset! since i just one time got it to actually stay disconnected).
Now on the other hand i cant use the just the "Vol up" button combo, i have to press both Vol up and down with pwr and home to get it to connect with drivers and show up in ODIN etc..
In some cases u have to have battery unpluged and show it in while holding button combo and sometimes u dont..
I cant make out anything out of this, but maby some of u guys can!?
Rom Manager screwed your phone. Not uninstalling forest wallpaper.
I got my phone hard bricked because of ROM manager. I have given it to the service center. Waiting for them to fix it.

If the phone is hard bricked (no download mode, no battery charge indicator when power plugged in), you really do not have a choice.
While people claim to be able to use jtag / USB jig (see the only thread started by me in the accesories section of this miniforum), I do not have clear answers in that thread.

Hello all,
For some reason, my Galaxy s with froyo does not start anymore since this morning. It stays on the start up window, "GALAXY S, GT-9000 SAMSUNG" all the time. Perhaps it is installing an update. i do not know as i have not downloaded anything.
What are the steps for fixing this if it stays all the time.
Should i do a manufactyre reboot? if so, how to do this?
Thanks for your help
F
i take it you are on a stock samsung rom ??
if so boot into recovery menu, Holding volume up button + home button + power button all at the same time
this should bring up a menu with the option to do a factory reset. navigate it using volume up and down. and home button to select
you will lose all your data !! but this might fix the problem.
if not report back and we will consider some other options
this is strange.. 2 days ago my phone started experiencing similar things. I have stock UK rom, unlocked, no rooting, everything official, no damage..
I pulled the battery out, and it did it again. What i did in the end is just leave it there, and it eventually switched on. What could be causing the slowdown?
Still blocked on start up window
i did the rebood
vol up + home + power
wiped the memory and factory reset
and when i restart it still stays on the first window (at least 1 hr now)..
any other suggestions?
thx
Same story here, stock UK rom...no rooting etc. Has happened to me in the past. Luckily the factory reset from recovery mode had worked.
Phone back to normal now, still not very reassuring with others similar stories.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue? I'm no expert myself.

I would flash a new custom rom

No hacks no cracks then its under warranty Samsung Service centre .
If the fault is hardware then custom rom may not help at all .

I had just installed the latest ics fw on my note previously running gingerbread and never had a problem. After i downloaded the 316mb update( approx size, don't remember the actual size) and installed it the phone was on the packet installation screen with a bar on the bottom. The bar filled up in half an hour and i kept waiting for another hour but nothing happened. After that i shut down my phone and restarted it again. It showed up the galaxy note n-7000 screen and then the android bot with diamond on the screen for a couple of seconds and then the screen turned black. Then i took out the battery and tried to restart the phone again but to no avail. All it shows is the galaxy note screen and then a black screen. I have never modded my phone and it was absolutely stock. What is wrong with this phone, and any chance i could fix it up myself rather than going to the service center because i am out of city for a month and need my phone for work real bad. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
PS : Tried the home button + volume down button and power button trick that does bring me to a caution screen of installing custom OS.
PSS : And now when i start up the phone with charger plugged in it just keep displaying the battery on the screen.

how u are using three button technique. first press volume up then home button and then power button all one by one as mentioned in the same order then just hold three till u reach boot menu.
^
Tried it again thrice again exactly in the same order you asked to but same thing happens. The galaxy note n-7000 screen flashes twice and then the android bot with blue ball/diamond for couple of seconds and the screen goes blank.
Though i can access the download menu by pressing volume down + home button + power button
try instal new rom using odin and download menu.....have u tried the same by removing battery also.
What Rom where you on before this problem happened? Were you rooted?
Best to follow this to the letter
Go into download mode.
Pc odin stock rom from www.sammobile.com for your countries phone with pit file for your phone.
Exact way is in dr Ketans thread in sticky section of development.
Do not do factory reset or wipe data on ICS period

Hi,
Maybe you had a huge battery drain at night ( prob 1ghz bug)
Connect your Phone on the battery adapter and start flashing .
Perform a real format before you begin ( recovery --> mount and storage --> real format data and media.
And try it again .

Hello XDA members,
Recently my S10 randomly rebooted and is since then stuck on the splash screen. It wont let me turn the device off or boot into safe mode, download mode or recovery. It simply is stuck onto the samsung logo screen.
After draining my battery, I tried to charge it but it instantly goes to the splash screen again (not the charging screen) and again, it won't let me boot into any other menus. I tried all the button combinations.
The S10 is 3 days old and has not been modified. It has been updated to the latest may patch.
Any help or suggestions would be appriciated!!
Kind regards,
Samuel
Hi....
Put the phone on the charger and then press Power + Volume Down button and hold it for about 8 seconds until it vibrates ... so you can turn the phone off .
When the phone is off, press the Power + Bixby + Volume Up button and hold it until you enter into recovery mode and then wipe data / factory reset.
If you fail then you must send the phone to repair immediately... Good luck..

Thank you for responding.. Sadly it didnt let me reboot to any mode in any way.. I contacted my service provider and they offered an repair without costs.. So I guess I gotta wait another 2 weeks to enjoy the S10 again
Sorry my friend, I empathize with you. I had a similar situation on my original S9 Plus back when it was originally released and what a bummer - waiting until the replacement came in. All will be forgotten once ou get the replacement and you are able to enjoy the S10 again - so hang in there - Best of luck and I hope you get your replacement soon.
The update is what did it. Samsung just pulled the latest update for causing phones to lockup. I don't know the way forward for you though. With it being a couple of days old I would think that you could go back to the store and get it replaced.
