I'm really sorry but your device is done. The skyrocket people haven't been able to fix this yet by using a jig or qualcomm tools.
Reading and researching is really important. You can't flash any p73xx rom to the i957, it will brick.
This is exactly why I have tried to get a separate forum for the i957, but that hasn't worked yet.
Hope you are under warranty or that is an expensive mistake.

I did the exact same thing you did. It is very confusing (Well not really, I just did'nt take my time to read). I was exhausted because I was very happy to have my new skyrocket and new lte tab. I researched and researched. I rooted, installed custom rom and kernel on my skyrocket. I then rooted my tablet and it was great. I then installed a custom rom for a 7300 on my i957 and Boom, gone. Luckily I was within my 30 day return policy. Everything in my home is either jailbroken, rooted, homebrewed, w/e. so I have somewhat experience.
But the combination of tiredness, excitedness, and what ever else comes along with getting new gadgets, I didn't pay attention and blew up my tablet.
Even with my experience and never bricking anything before, I bricked my tablet. I took it back to the store and making believe I never even heard about rooting, jailbreaking, homebrewing; the sales people tried starting it up and eventually they couldn't get it to start up. I got a new tablet, I told them I left the tablet charging overnight and left it charging when I went to work, because I forgot to disconnect it. When I got home from work it just didn't turn on.
Eventually they gave me a new tablet and said do not charge it for more than 8 hours. They said I was the first customer to ever return this tablet because it was defective (This tablet is a beast). I told them sure I learned my lesson.
When I went home, I rooted it lol and installed the oc kernel. Remember there are no roms for the 4g model.
Before I went back to the store where I purchased my phone&tablet, I found that there is a youtube store that fixes bricked phones and tablets (He has videos of him fixing them) but when I emailed him, he said their program does not support in unbricking the lte tablet. This was about a month ago so you can check to see if they support it now. I think to unbrick phones it was like 50-100 dollars (I forgot)
You are not alone, I made the same dumb mistake. Never do important stuff when you are tired or excited or anxious. Sorry man, good luck.
I may have put this in the wrong area it was late last night and I was frustrated. I tried putting a 7300 ROM on a 7300. I didn't try anything fancy lol. But I appreciate the responsses. You think I'll be able to take it back and see what they can do? Maybe they'll exchange it as if it was a defect? I'll take it there today. See if they will exchange.lesson learned for me. Lesson being wait for updates from Samsung. As slow as they are. Lol thanks for the input if anyone has the capability to fix this
Hit me up.

A 7300 rom on a 7300 should only soft brick. Can you get into download or recovery?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
If you try to turn on your tablet and your screen turns on you can try to install the stock rom through odin again and it will work. There is a thread in this forums that explains how. If it is off and you turn it on and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happens and it just stays with the black screen, no vibration or anything then it is hard bricked.
If it is hard bricked you can try to take it back and act dumb, not sure how long ago you purchased the tablet. If you are still within the 30 days you should be good because the sales people I took my tablet to did not have the machine to see how many times my device was flashed. If you are outside the 30 days they will tell you to send it to a samsung repair dealer (which I think they will see how many times the device has been flashed). Once you rooted your tablet it voids the warranty and they either do not have to fix it or will charge you an amount equal to your tablet. I did hear of cases where people with rooted tablets just returned it and they fixed it for free. I guess it dpeneds on anything else in life (How lucky are you?)
Yes you did put your question on the right place since this is for all the 8.9 tablets. (Thats the problem I came across with, I wish they make two forums for both tablets because they are in fact different.
Posting from my mobile so I didn't read your post again.
It is extremely rare but sometimes this can happen. Did you have repartition checked in Odin? If so that's bad.
There is something called qpst - qualcomm product support tools - that people are trying to get to work to fix hard bricks.

ok heres the deal,
Bought a bell atrix hd from a member here, had it 4 hours and the thing goes into a bootloop which it recovers from, but after it doesnt want to charge or be recognized by my laptop or pc.
it dies.
I crack it open and wire the usb cable directly to the battery to charge it.
It boots.
I then proceed to give it a good charge for fastboot rsd use. The phone isnt detected in rsd lite. I then boot back into android and change mass storage to ptp, get the same results in fastboot.
I tried different drivers, rsd versions, and get nothing, but the error code 43 telling me to replace the device. I cant believe that this phone isnt capable of being fixed. I have adb setup and cant pull it up there either. no matter what I do it just says plug in usb cable in fastboot. Ive tried factory resets via os and via factory recovery.
Anyone have any ideas?
sounds to me like the pins are messed up in the usb micro port... try warrantying it... call moto
Pins look ok. I'm not the original owner. How would I go about the warranty?

Hey,
So I have had this phone for about 16 months. I have always loved it. It wasn't rooted or anything like that but I started having issues with it,
Such as, not being able to end a call, pick up, random reboots.
The phone will not power on at all it does however show the battery being charged at 100% when I plug in adapter.
I also cannot get my PC to recognize it, have tried on multiple computers.
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,

PS
This my work and business cell so I need it up and running asap even if cost me a few dollars.
I have over 1000 documents/payroll/emails and highly sensitive info
So if you could help there would most certainly be compensated for your time. I don't even care if you remote into my PC. I just really need this or I will lose my job.
I am assuming you tried to pull the battery and wait and put it back again

Hi Cazey.
Take the battery out, replace it, hold volume down and power on. That should take you to the bootloader, a white screen with a few options on it, and probably 'locked' at the top if you haven't played around with custom ROMs yet.
If you can get that far, try selecting 'recovery' and doing a factory reset through there. Note you'll probably lose all the data on your internal memory. This is a bit of a last-ditch effort, so try any other suggestions first. I'm a PM away if you need anything further.

No...
If its locked its got HTC update recovery...
Maybe find the ruu and return it to stock for real...
Otherwise its a hardware issue...

I hope I am not duplicating a thread, the XDA search function appears to be down at the moment. Last night I put my phone on the charger (OEM HTC charger); the battery was low, but the phone was still on, and it appeared to be charging. When I woke up this morning (late, since my phone acts as my alarm), my phone was turned off. Now I am unable to turn on the phone at all, and there is no orange charging LED. Unfortunately I don't have the money for a warranty exchange/replacement/repair (and probably won't for a while), so I will be without a mobile until this gets resolved. Please help, you guys are my only hope.
Steps I have tried:
Leaving the phone plugged in for a long while.
Holding vol up and power for several minutes.
Holding vol down and power for several minutes.
Holding vol up and down and power for several minutes.
Plugging it into a computer.
Using several different chargers.
Removing my SIM card, and trying all of the above again.

Unfortunately that doesn't appear to work for me. When you had to do this, was your device completely dead like mine, or were you able to see the orange charging light?
Just 2 days ago mine did nearly the same thing. It just seemed to run out of battery REALLY fast and wouldn't charge again until it completely ran out of battery. And then it wouldn't charge properly with any chargers, the led was flickering , cutting out then staying on for a few seconds etc. I left it overnight plugged in and it charged it finally me, but now my phone is going crazy.(270 rotation even when it's rotation locked, not recognising headphones or USB connection and more.) Maybe we both have faulty motherboards? I'm pretty sure mine isn't a software problem after numerous factory resets. I know this isn't really helpful but we're having a similar problem so if someone can help, this info could be useful? I just emailed HTC but I'm bootloader unlocked and running ARHD som I'm not that optimistic. They might try to blame that, even though I know it's not the problem.
Disappointing after 3 months of love and tender care that something like this goes wrong.
Um there might be 2 possibilityes:
1. Your phone is hard bricked (google it if you don't understand), witch may be caused by bootloader malfuncion while your phone was shutting diwn, in case that something might got corrupted
2. Hardware faliure. You might have something burned on your pcb, or you might have a dead battery

When I plug the phone into my PC, it now installs drivers for "qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008"; does this indicate a hard-brick? If so, I read somewhere else that if I used JTAG, I could potentially fix the phone. Is this a program that can be downloaded? If it helps, I do have one of SkOrPn's cables that I used a while ago to fix my Kindle Fire. T-Mobile is saying they won't do anything because the camera lens on the back has a small crack in it, even though they admit that it is unrelated to the issue at hand.

Thanks for the reply. I see that the tool they posted is for the AT&T Galaxy Note. Will this tool still work for the HTC One? I've got Linux machines available to use the tool if it will.
I had the phone for one month and it stopped charging. TMobile gave me a second charger at the store two weeks in since that's when it started. One month and a day after getting the phone it completely stopped charging. You had to rotate the cables in weird positions to get a charge. I think it's the USB connector on the phone or the battery. The store is mailing me a replacement for $20. IM using my backup S2 till then. I was rooted on Revolution the entire time. Suffice to say I think it's important to delicately remove the cable after charging. IM angry about this since I've had zero issues with my Samsung devices and thought I'd try the One.

I see, thanks for the help. Yeah I'm not very happy with T-Mobile right now. Basically, they won't even handle the repair/replacement because there is a small crack on the camera lens; I've spoken with two different representatives at T-Mobile who gave the same response. What's worse is that they admitted that it is obvious the cracked lens is completely unrelated to the fact that the phone won't boot. My next path is to interface directly with HTC to get it fixed, which is of course going to cost more money. If I at least had better coverage where I live and work, it might be a different story, but so far I've had nothing but bad luck with them. Once I can get out of this mess, I'll probably switch back to Verizon, and maybe give their Edge program a try. Sorry about the rant, but this is just getting silly.

I haven't screwed this phone up but I remember when I first started rooting phones I bricked my Vibrant (Galaxy S). I think I bricked it because I flashed the wrong radio or something. After that I have never bricked another phone. **Knock on wood**
Now I take extra caution and read extensively before rooting, flashing Roms, kernels etc.

I've only totally bricked one device, that was a sprint HTC evo (og evo). I got a replacement device via insurance and due to new firmware, I bricked it trying to root it/set s-off. No fix possible, only a new phone.
As far as nexi, nexus 5 specifically, I've soft bricked it a ton of times. But, one of the reasons I love the nexus brand, its never taken any more than a nandroid restore or only once a revert to stock. Unless you Dev test (and knowingly flash untested fw) or just start randomly picking zips and flash a modem or boot loader from a different device I've found it damn near impossible to make a nexus device unrecoverable.
I did initially flash the multi-boot mod w an incompatible ROM (beanstalk) and a kernel that really didn't like the multi-boot idea either (don't remember which ver of which kernel ATM). I was stuck on the "Google" boot loader screen for hours til I tried flashing a different ROM (which also changed the kernel) and trying again. Frustrated the hell out of me, kept phone unusable for almost a whole day, and wasted a ton of my time due to my laziness to read the whole thread.
Best advice ever given on XDA, whether you are a novice/learning/a noob or a android pro many years of experience or even a skilled developer.....
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS... did I say ALWAYS read the whole op or even better whole op and hopefully 90%+ of the thread before you try something you are unsure of.

Nexuses
Had the device perfectly set-up, with a few twrp backups as well and then for no reason...moved those backups from the device to the pc (probably in order to free some space). Then in a sequence of screw-ups, downloaded Flashify and wiped the cache and and dalvik cache from within the app (thinking it would be cool)...AND...bootloop! No backups...nothing! Booted to recovery...wiped cache/Dalvik the usual way, still nothing! Wiped data...nothing! Couldn't get ADB to work in the recovery. Finally -> Bootloader -> Fastboot Flash Stock ROM!
Did not stop though. in the next 5 minutes I was back with custom recovery, root and Titanium backup...ready to get back the device in shape (done and dusted as I type )
Reading the undervolting thread I decided to go -75 across the board. I succeeded but then tried to push it lower. Bootloops occurred. Backup copied back to SD card from PC failed to restore (said data failed. This was my first time restoring a ROM on the Nexus 5. If someone has insight as to why this happened it would be appreciated). Decided to go aosp and flash Rasta + trinity kernel but for some reason my mobile data wouldn't activate nor could I update PRL or profile by clicking on the usual option even after reboot and continuously clicking. Now I'm just getting my phone back to the original state it was in before I screwed up my UV values. Cataclysm + ElementalX #Life of a Phone Nerd

I actually used a toolkit to return mine back to stock after i shipped it out to LG for repair after my son dropped. It was much easier for me than to write out the commands. took me about 10 minutes and that was because I locked the bootloader before flashing a zip. and i had to go back yada yada but worked out fine.
Screwed up 2 Galaxy S2's, first one because I didn't pay close enough attention to the brickbug, second one because it just died... Due to the brickbug. Other than those I've never killed a phone. I thought I had broken my friends Nexus 5 though, I unlocked it and went to root it for him but TWRP/CWM couldn't mount any partitions because it's "encrypted". Got it fixed though.
I've killed xbox's, PSP's, everything. It's all part of the learning process.
...When I first got my Nexus 5 in MTP on my Windows PC I had my phone hooked up to, on Internal Memory I saw a folder called sdcard that was not there before that was supposedly empty according to MTP. Deleted it. Turns out it was a symlink screwup in MTP, and it deleted my entire SD card including photos, luckily the important ones were already uploaded to Facebook and such. Now I backup my phone almost daily just in case.
I bricked my Archos Home Connect 35 once. Kinda my fault. I had set the bootloader to boot SDE firmware for it defaultly on boot. (Dev edition firmware from Google that was rootable). I updated from .82 firmware to .83 firmware, forgot to change that. It took the SDE firmware out, normally youd have to reinstall it, and since it was set to boot from that in Archos. mess of a firmware and bootloader, it would just bootloop because the SDE firmware wasnt there. No way to get out of it. RMA'd it and got a new one from Archos though. Never again, will always just manually select the SDE Dev Edition firmware when/if i ever reboot it. (Its just a Alarm clock mostly that plays Pandora occasionally. it last went 300 days without a reboot until it hard locked and I had to reboot. )
Never had a unrecoverable problem with my Galaxy S4, or my Nexus 5.Worst case with the S4 I Odin'd back to stock firmware. Nexus 5 got a corrupt data or cache partition once, i could have ran fsck but I flashed stock images instead.
I was having an issue having my phone seen on my PC. This is after I've rooted... Transferred music and pics from PC to phone, so I knew my drivers were installed. So I tried going back to stock. I downloaded the stock image and tried fastboot flashing. My download was corrupted. It got froze sending the radio. Froze for 30 min... Just kept saying sending. So I finally unplugged and rebooted to bootloader as everything else has been wiped. Tried again and it froze again at sending the boot loader. Froze for 30 min. I unplugged and tried rebooting. It never turned back on. No charging indication or anything. Officially bricked. I had tmo send me a new one and I'm returning the old one today. Wish me luck
