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.

(I don't have this problem, but...)
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.So my phone fell in a river today and it couldnt turn on. After some drying i got the phone to function but when i put the battery in it automatically without me pressing anything goes into recovery mode. And when i press home button in there nothing happens.
PS: sorry,my english sucks
Edit:So i got the phone to boot up but after i put the pin code and press ok the screen becomes black and freezes and the only thing i can do is pull the battery.
Hope someone can help me!
Okay so i plan going to the service on saturday but i have a problem:
My phone is running Democracy lite edition so i dont have warranty.
So i need to flash with odin but i cant enter download mode because the volume down button is not working idk why...
Is there a way to enter download mode without volume down key?
Sorry for double posting
First... Why the hell did you drop your amazing device in a river ? You'd have couriered it to me along with some money & a " THANK YOU" letter in the package for free if you hated it that much
Now seriously,
Try charging your phone for a long time. This heats it up & evaporates any interveing water traces. Now try booting into the download mode. If this doesn't work then it might have damaged your electronics. Take it to the service centre & say that it fell in water. Don't say anything that you rooted, etc; Just play dumb. They will fix it for you but you might have to pay...
" Change is never always unavoidable. We do have our choices. Choice is just an illusion. The abled see beyond it & the feeble seek forth it. The abled defy the change & the change defies the feeble. "
Give it some time. My power button stopped working after contact with rain, and it started working againg next day (close to the heater, open back, slots etc.) but fully recovered about 3 or 4 days later !

The warranty was already gone with the river. :laugh: There are a small indicator in every phone (I guess, at least in Nokias), so the service center will see that the phone was in water. You can say, that it's not true, but they will see it, because of the indicator (it's a small piece of paper or something in Nokia phones and it turns blue if it contacts water.)
Hi,
is it possible that the replacement of the sdcard/sim slot part on an ATiv S i8750 can cause damage to the phone?
4 months ago i replaced the sdcard/simslot part with a new one, the phone was working fine, one month after the replacement of the part it couldn't read the sdcard but everything else was working fine (for 3 months) until now, one day and while i was playing a game the phone hanged, i could press only the left(back) button which was responding with vibration (not exiting app) and the screen was a bit trembling. I kept pressing the power button to shut down the phone but it didn't, so i took off the battery, after this nothing is working. cannot switch on the phone, no key combinations for reset and download mode are working.When i connect the phone on usb i can hear the confirmation sound that the device is connected but nothing else, cannot access the phone.
Do you think it's worth trying to replace the part with a new one and check if it is working? I've read in the forum of using a usb jig to get into download mode, do you think will work?
Hi
I need urgent HELP.... Its my new Moto G 2nd Generation which I brought around 1 month ago. I was trying to encrypt my phone using the option in settings. It went perfectly fine till it shows 100% . Then it got switched off and now no response. I tried charging it up. Not working. Then tried to get into recovery by pressing power button and Volume + also Power and Volume -. No change. Did I bricked my phone? What shall I do? Its still in warranty, so giving the phone to service center helps?

Did you enter recovery before? Look at the following video and see if you can enter recovery:
Thanks for the reply.....
Thanks for your fast reply. I tried the same method but it didn't work at all. I kept my phone at home and after I came back from my office I just plugged it to give it a try. I guess my battery was fully drained, when I plugged it charging screen appeared. :laugh: A small hope came and I kept pressing the power button and Volume down for sometime and in between Volume up also. I guess Its my lucky day today, phone booted into recovery screen and I just selected normal power up option and I got all my data back. ..... You don't have an option to take your battery out and put it again. Other wise I won't be facing this situation....... Thanks for all.
you always hard reboot your phone by long pressing power button.
