i was going to upgrade my twrp. well i flashed the wrong one and now i have a great paperweight.
will not boot
when plugged into the computer it shows the charging light
when i hold the power button it will viberate like its powering up but it doesnt. if you hold the power button down longer it will viberate again.
does not connect adb
holding both volume buttons and power does nothing
holding down volume and power does nothing either.
google isnt helping and ive gone 15 pages back on the forums
i think ive created my own brick after 5 years of no problems.
does anyone have any ideas?

i have tried getting into everything. nothing is responding. screen is dark,,,,nothing
Try an ruu. I don't think that flashing a wrong recovery can cause a hard brick. If it shows the charging light the hboot is ok (I think). Try this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460013

ya i tried the ruu and because the phone is not even registering on the computer it wasnt possible. thanks for the input tho. i cant even get to hboot. i know if i had hboot its possible to get things going. im just out of ideas and never had a phone beat me...till now.
I don't thing flashing the wrong recovery could brick your phone either unless you flashed it to the wrong partition.
Can you post the command you used when you flashed it?
Ok, you have to fly blind here to fix it. With the phone completely powered off you need to do vol down and power like you were booting to bootloader. Phone vibrates, screen is still blank but trust me, it's in hboot now...... Now just press the power button once, even tho you see nothing it's now in bootloader. Open up cmd prompt and do fastboot devices. You will see it is registering. You can either run a ruu, or flash a proper recovery image from there. Your choice.

tried this a few times...no luck
sigh...that was an expensive mistake.
If it gets a charge light, it's not bricked. If it was just a improper recovery it shouldn't brick. I can see not having a screen display but it's not bricked. Recovery partition is one of the very last partitions in the boot chain and hboot isn't corrupted. Keep trying to get into hboot with no display........ It's there

ive done a bit more playing around and the light doesnt turn off when unplugged...it just stays on. it was flashing earlier but is solid again. never turns green either. i gave up.
Have you tried the trick of trying to power on while holding it under a bright light? Just throwing it out there may or may not make any difference.

i did see that and i was like "huh?!?!" yes i tried that...im glad no one saw me because i think it may be one of those tricks on noobs lol kinda like telling the freshman in high school that the pool is on the roof(we didnt have a pool lol)
When you hold the power button do the cap. Lights ever start blinking at all?
Added: also, I had some bad info above. When trying to get into hboot, if the phone vibrates, it's already moved past hboot. So maybe try holding power and volume down for 6-8 seconds, let off, then press power button once. If it vibrates, you need to power it down and try again.....sorry

I bricked my tablet after I tried to change my font using font installer by jrummy?
It asked me to restart for changes to occur so I figured if I restarted on my own it would work the same way so I hit cancel. I restarted about 1 minute after I hit cancel.
My tablet will boot up to the AT&T "Rethink possible" screen (after the animation).
It will get stuck there with a pattern of light vibrations between a couple seconds each.
Currently running the stock AT&T ics rom posted in the android dev section for i957.
I've tried to boot into recovery but the Samsung screen doesn't come up until I let go of the buttons therefore leading it to reboot again.
Also tried to go into the emergency download mode ( power, up, down) but it didn't work either.
I appreciate all and any advice, please and thank you!
My device is rooted if that wasn't already implied, I will provide any other details if needed, please help!!
Thanks again!
Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Hold power and volume up buttons, etc. Does Odin recognize the device?
Do you have a custom recovery, and if so which one, or is it stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
keep trying to get into download mode or recovery. should be possible. the font change will not affect recovery.
I was also performing a backup with titanium backup when I restarted does that make a difference?
I have clockwork mod recovery.
From experience, I can only go into recovery if the Samsung logo pops up for a milli second and I let go.
I actually haven't tried to see if Odin recognizes my device but I assumed if I couldn't go into download mode it wouldn't.

Were you restoring apps from a honeycomb Rom? That will cause a soft brick.

If you can get into recovery do a factory reset. That should get you out of a soft brick. You'll have to re-install your apps though.

Didnt see if you worked your way out of this or not. You may have to hold 3 finger salute (power, up, down) for up to 16 seconds. My guess is that covers the 8 seconds to reboot through any hang up plus up to 8 more to boot to menu.
Still no luck, the computer is not detecting my tablet.
I also wasn't restoring, I was just backing up my data. I'm letting it charge for now, anyone know what else I should do?
I really can't enter recovery OR download.
**** UPDATE****
Okay guys I finally fixed it. Will post details if anyone is still interested.

I couldn't go into download mode until I did some weird trick with the buttons.
I had to hold the 3 buttons ( power, vol up, vol down) for a couple seconds.. like 6 seconds
THEN hold power and vol up for 2 secs
THEN back to power, vol up, vol down.
I did it by accident cuz I was frustrated but it ended up working so all is good
Thanks for all the help guys!!

Basically, Aroma froze while installing TrickDroid so I tried to send adb reboot recovery to the phone and got a nice message saying "error: device not found"
I tried holding the power button+volDown to reboot it but that hasn't worked. The capacitive buttons began to flash and I continued holding for ~1-1.5 minutes.
Is there anything I'm not doing correctly? I've been a long time lurker coming from a SGS2 and things are quite different with this phone so forgive me if I indeed am a noob.

Yeah, I'd hold the power+volDown, just power, power+volUp+volDown and nothing was working. I unplugged it from my computer and kept trying to get the 2 buttons pressed simultaneously and eventually I did get it to work.

Twrp crashed my first flash attempt and aroma mostly crashes right after the install is finished, during the install sometimes, and rarely when using the physical buttons to navigate it.
I haven't been able to use an adb command with either recovery when aroma crashes. Not sure if that's the same with everyone else.

Try holding the proximity sensor directly under a bright light. Just being in a lit room isn't always enough. Hold volume down and power till the home and back start flashing. Do not let go until the phone is off. Now let go. Hold both buttons again until you see the bootloader.

Boot into recovery.
Download a ROM on pc.
Put ROM in adb/fastboot folder.
Connect phone to PC.
Open a command prompt in the folder ( hold shift and right click - open command prompt here).
"adb devices"
It should list your phone.
"adb push your-rom-here.zip /sdcard/"
It'll look like its not doing anything for a while, be patient it can take some time.
When it's done, us twrp to flash the ROM like normal.

I've been trying to boot into the stock recovery on my phone, primarily to wipe the cache, and it won't do anything. Just seems to boot into a black screen, then an image of the phone with a red triangle and an upside down exclamation mark shows up.
Is this normal?
My phone is completely untouched. Not been rooted unlocked or S-Off.

Its essentially a two step process to get there. Once you get to that red triangle, hold UP + POWER until you enter recovery, it'll be a black screen with blue writing.

RESOLVED
Silver HTC One for AT&T; bootloader unlocked, rooted, s-on
I tried to flash a 4.1.2 ROM on the phone earlier today through CWM. No errors were given during the process. After the phone restarted the touch screen is now disabled. All three hardware keys seem to be working fine (power, v-up, v-down). Since the touchscreen is not working I cannot get past the initial lock screen. If I try and restart the phone by holding power it takes a long time >5 minutes of holding down power, "To restart your phone continue to press and hold power for 3, 2, 1, comes up and then stays at 1 for a long time.
If I connect the phone to my mac android file transfer opens up and I can see the files on the phone. However, if I try to find the device using 'adb devices' the list of attached devices is empty.
I would like to put a different ROM on and then flash that but because I am unable to do a power down (only restart after a long time) or use adb to re-boot into fastboot or recovery I am stuck.
Anything you guys could give me to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
also I installed HTC sync manager and it launches after the device is attached, but does not indicate that my device is attached.
Thanks!

Just copy the 4.3 rom via the file manager, then restart with however long it takes. While restarting, keep the vol-down button pressed. You'll reboot to bootloader. From there, go to recovery and select your 4.3 rom.

Can you elaborate on the OTG cable? It may be my best option at the moment because I cannot get the phone to reboot at all let alone into recovery. I tried to restart while holding down power and vol-down (like n1234d said) for about 20 minutes and the phone did not restart.
You could use an OTG cable and a USB drive to get the ROM onto the phone inside recovery. Unfortunately, you still need to reboot to recovery. If the phone can't reboot, I'm not sure what to do.

then try to get in recovery from bootloader....
the phone wont get recognized via adb if not in recovery mode cause the USB debugging would be turned off....
the phone WILL power off if you keep the power button pressed for 20-30 seconds and should reboot.

Cool, nice productive comment. I can assure you it was, watched two episodes of workaholics waiting for the damn thing.

I'm pretty sure you unknowingly kept leaving the power/volume buttons because of which the phone finally rebooted when you got it right

Is this really necessary?

Thanks, but for whatever reason it took holding down the power button for 40 minutes.
Thanks for you suggestions, as I mentioned above I got the phone to reboot into recovery after holding down power for an insanely long time. From there I was able to use adb to get everything sorted out.
So my problem is resolved, how do I close/delete this thread? Thanks for all your suggestions.
