My phone is HARD bricked!

I bricked my old Galaxy Mini with ROM Manager :crying: by flashing CWM for the wrong phone. I think it was some Huawei model. Nothing is working! Is there a way to unbrick it? :fingers-crossed:
PS: It's not nessecsary, I will buy a new phone.

1. search before posting
2. search before doing ANYTHING with phone
3. you can try with usb jig/j-tag, there's instruction on how to make one floating around here somewhere

Most important rule always read about the stuf your doing

lol sad everyone is doing the same mistake. If your phone is under warranty take it to samsung service center and tell them u set the alarm in the night and in the morning it never turned on. They will change the motherboard free of cost. If it is not under warranty. Buy a better phone instead of paying $100 for a motherboard.
PS: Theres no way to bring it back from that ROM manager brick.

Should really contact devs of rom manager to make it unavailable to SGM... More and more pppl are bricking their phones because of this.
For your case, try a USB Jig. Details and guides can be found in the link in my signature.

Thanks guys, anyway, I just wanted to know is it fixable so I can sell it.
I'm gonna buy a new phone!

Its fixable but if it can be revive by jig u can sell it easyly but if jig dont work the only way to fix it is ti change the motherboard thing

Lol, I bricked my phone too with ROM Manager. I selected a recovery for Geeksphone just to see if ROM manager has a protection for flashing wrong recoveries. And no, it doesn't have. I returned my phone to Samsung service and they replaced the motherboard. Now I continue to test lots of ROMs and my IMEI was bricked too. It's 000...

the app have the protection
wrong things is done by us by selecting wrong device model

Yeah its same for me ,i have bricked with rom manager ,after that i m going to samsung service center , they make my phone comeback but number IMEI is gone
Sorry for my bad english

it need some technical assistance from a service center and be JTAG.
too bad i think it doesnt have warranty tho.

a only way is assistance

i bricked mine too not from rom manager but from flashing roms. i brought a jig but it gnner take 2 weeks to get to me

By the way, I bought a new phone, and does anyone know how rom manager bricks the Galaxy Mini?

I think because it's installing wrong recovery image. Simply after recovery installed, ROM Manager will reboot your phone to recovery mode. Since the recovery image was wrong and unusable (since ramdisk & configs are different) the phone wasn't able to boot and ACTUALLY stuck on recovery mode.

But what does that have to do with the boot up sequence? Sorry, I'm an htc guy...

simply put, its like a one way door..once u enter into the room u cant go out..
same way the due to bad recovery and wrong mount partitions loading, once u boot into recovery using rom manager, u cant boot out..thus it will result in a hard brick..

I get it! It's all much easier with HTC phones... You can get inside a boot menu where you can flash roms and kernels and recoveries using the pc. In the boot menu, you can go to recovery. If you screw something up, flash a bad rom, kernel or recovery, you can always flag the right thing using the boot menu.

S3 mini hard-bricked?

Hello,
I wanted to root my S3 mini (GT-i8190, that worked but then I wanted to enter Bootloader. I downloaded EZ-Unlock 11.apk and installed it on my S3 mini. I launched the app and selected unlock and after I wanted to reboot it, it didn't work anymore... I can't enter Recovery Mode... I live in the Netherlands so I actually don't want to buy something from Amazon or so. I saw a little movie with a paperclip and graphite but that vid has been removed... HELP ME PLEASE!!!

what are you doing ???
SIII mini don´t need to unlock a bootloader.
Just follow this guide here

It's to late now... I couldn't get in Bootloader... How can I access my phone when it's hard-bricked? Maybe I can remove everything and put back the original software

what you should do is go through the sticky threads in the general section and this section before you start messing around with that phone again

But the sticky note is for an soft-bricked s3 mini... Mine is hard-bricked

So, if you press the power button, the phone don't turn on?

That's right. I also tried the 3-buttons but nothing works, not a single vibration. Even my pc won't recognize it

What happen if you charge the phone?

Nothing, the screen remains black. I tried the usb-cable on pc, a usb charger and the cable... but nothing works
