I undesirably flashed recovery image on my Galaxy Mini with ROM Manager to probably unsupported CWM. No I can't boot my phone.
Odin and Kies can't detect my phone.
I can't access recovery or download mode.
Phone is rooted and installed Gingerbread 2.3 on it.
Is there way to unbrick it?
Yes, Samsung service center. Play dumb, and don't ever mention root, flashing or ROM manager

just that your updating and your phone died
Donate 2$ for galaxy fit so they can get their JB and ics

^ This is not the right way to ask for galaxy fit donations. Especially at this thread. You have no idea how mind gets ****ed when your phone gets hard bricked.
Take it to a repair shop and ask them to do a usb jig, to get your phone into download mode.

Use Galaxy Mini riff jtag box which'll surely unbrick it.

Its a veru very hard brick u have 2 go to Samsung Service Center I think they will change ur motherboard.........
Does it show a PC and a mobile?
If your phone shows a PC and a phone close it and then press volume up and power key. It will show you FOTA updating.It will restart and then it will work again...

If Odin detects you devices, you can just flash a stock rom.

Its hard brick. Just send it to the Samsung service center and say that you try to upgrade with lies and it failed. (If you still have your warranty) or else, try USB jig

I guess so. Since some people used it to save their phone. I didn't try it cause the worst case were only soft brick.

Don't no what you have done but it sounds like a hard brick either go to a Samsung service center or find jtag that's the only way to fix it
Forgot to say USB jig doesn't work either

Dear all,
I need your advise / help.
Friend of my asking me for help to recovery his Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, he tell me that, during his root process, he brick his Tab 8.9. Now the tab is showing Black all time. I taken a look, and connected to Data USB cable, connect it to PC.
This WIN7 OS direct the tab and install USB driver. When I push on/off button, the tab seems reboot itself into loop. But the screen not showning anything at all.
I put it into Samsung charger ( not USB to PC). But it does not shown the Big icon of battery. But I know it is live. As the PC response with installing USB driver. But the USB drive was pickup wrongly, as some kind of USB reader. NOT the Tab 8.9.
What is the best way to recovery this tab 8.9 to factory ROM ? I did downloaded lastest P7320ZHLP8_P7320ZZHLP8_P7320ZHLP2_CL1174893_user_l ow_HOME.tar from sammobile.com and have ODIN 1.85 ready. I just need to find a way to get this tab into download MODE.
Can you help and advise.
many thanks
James
If Odin recognizes the device flash the stock tar. The yellow com port will show up in Odin if it recognizes it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yes, I did tried ODIN, but it does not flag up yellow com port, as it needs to be in download mode in order for ODIN to connect the tab.
It sounds like you're hard bricked. If it's still in warranty Samsung should fix it. If its not look for a jtag service for the tab.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
i see. May I know what is "jtag service for the tab" ?
thanks
Google it. It's the only way to repair a hard brick.

hard brick ?
but it is live. able to connect pc usb with response. so just software issues right ?
Sent from my GT-N7100
That's typical of a hard brick. It's not completely dead but the only way you'll get any firmware on it is jtag.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
thanks for clarify , it is out of warranty, will advise my friend by it back to samsung repair.
Sent from my GT-N7100
by the way, the tab still up running on battery, my guess if it I let it discharge itself, until battery flat, so it acturally shutdown.
Then charge it again, will it able to get into download mode ?
cheers

I would try it but I don't think so. I had a tab that bricked and all I could do was have Samsung repair it. It was still under warranty.

RIFF JTAG box can help ?
Finally got jtag service done. Now the back online.
But it was being installed with wcm recovery, how can I restore it back to factory rom ?

Use Odin to flash the stock rom. You can get the rom at sammobile.com. you'll have to sign up but it's free. You can extract the tar.md5 file out of the zip file using 7-zip. Flash the md5 file.
