I think I just bricked this phone.

Posted this in the UPGRADING section but it may be better suited here, I'm not completely sure.
So I think I just bricked my dads vogue.
I followed the instructions in the HOW TO FLASH YOUR VOGUE thread as best as I could and now I'm in a rough position. He's been ranting about the WinMo OS almost since he got it and wanted to try Android so I tried to flash it.
What's going on:
Blank (black) screen
Backlight is on
Orange status(?) LED
Unresponsive to anything
Powering up yields a green status LED, one buzz of the vibration, call & end keys light up then it reverts to the above. Takes 1 or 2 seconds.
Plugging in the USB gives me "Found New Hardware: Data Interface" but I don't have the drivers or w/e is required to install it.
Any one able to help me? I figured this should be pretty straight forward but it's turning out to be a nightmare. :cries:

After you flash the android rom, you have to load a system image and data image into it. That may be normal.
Note, I have not flashed mine to Android, but it seemslike your missing the next step in the process.

This may help...
The bottom may help with the bricking and the top may help with android.

nope it isnt bricked just reflash windows and use android via haret...sounds kernel related

With advice from the other thread I'm in bootloader(?) mode
But that's as far as I got.
oh man I'm in trouble said:
So I've gotten back to red/green/blue/white striped screen but nothing will read the phone/let me flash anything to it.
Screen says:

Ok then...you will need to flash another rom. Verizon, is a pain.
Here is NFSFANS ROM windows 6.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
The files from this forum will contain a program called ROMUpdateUtility. Run that in boot mode. Then run NFSFANS verizon provisioning. all files are on that forum. Just remember...Your device is not bricked (as it sounds). You could brick it though. So be careful. You may wanna get advice from a Verizon User.

At this point, I'm throwing everything I think I know or understand out the window.
That said, can you walk me through the process starting at the bootload screen?

Yes, from a Sprint stand point though.
-download NFSFANS ROM
-Extract all the files from NFSFANS ROM to a new folder.
-Enter BootLoader
-Once it loads up plug your phone into your computer
-In your new folder there should be like 10 files...one of which say ROMUpdateUtility. Click and run that.
-Follow all the instructions on it.
-When it finishes...your phone will auto reboot.
-Once loaded up, Download Verizons Provesioning from NFSFANS ROM (you will find the link of the download towards the bottom of the first post NFSFAN has posted)
-Connect your phone to ur pc and put the Verizon Provesioning Cab on your sd card and install it.
-Restart your phone.
That should work.

I'll keep everyone updated.

can you tell how ?

last time i had this, i tried hard reset and it solved it. but this time it didn't so it forced me to reflash it with another rom. since it was a bug from a new rom made by mordz.
just entered bootloader and connect to usb it detected bootloader and ran romuploader to flash my TP with a new rom. thats it.

Unlocking Vibrant

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.

how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.

Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.

can someone answer my question?

I don't know whether the unlock methods work with Froyo but you can download a 2.1 stock Odin in the forum.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how much of a pain posting in the Q/A section can be and the wait time is pretty bad, so if you need help regarding UNBRICKING and ONLY UNBRICKING feel free to post in here.[/S​

There are loads of unlock threads. Almost everyone get one method to work eventually.

Error 8010048 when flashing

dudes45 said:
Hey Casey, I need some help with my Omnia 7. Bought it today and basically I cannot update via Zune I get error 8010048 I think and basically I think it means the guy who owned the phone before me flashed a custom rom which makes it unable to flash on Zune! Please help. Also my phone does not show up in the WP7 update tool either I was hoping installing the older rom from this thread might sort it. Oh well i hope you can help me in some way or another, cheers mate

Hi,
I'm replying to your PM via a new topic, so that others can contribute and benefit.
I've done a little research and it's an unexplained error code (i.e. not listed here). Since you cannot seem to flash a new ROM via the update tool we're a bit stuck.
Have you tried hard resetting the device?
Can you boot into Download Mode?
What are the software & firmware versions?
Casey

did you test the official Samsung patch for omnia 7 ?
I can see in other forum than it cause by faulty bootloader. Try the patch. And test again.

So basically, my phone works as it should (Just to confirm). I have actually been trying to flash via Zune originally but to no avail. I then tried to flash with the Windows tool downloadable in Casey's post, my phone was not detected I tried front and back ports in my PC.
I ran the 'Walshed' Phone tool which is said to fix this issue, I have run it 3 times and on the third time it worked I now have the latest update. Anyone who is having issues downloading the 'Walshed' Phone Support Tool, use IE 8 or 9 I used IE 9 and it worked but would not initiate the download with Opera. Cheers for your help guys

[Q] Stucked on Samsung Screen CAN put in Download mode

I tried searching but not really sure what it is I need.
Histiory:
I installed Zune on my computer and hooked my Windows 7 Focus up for the 1st time.
While in Zune it told me updates were available. I clicked on update,it went through all the steps,but when it got to restarting your phone thats where it stayed.
After 13 hours I disconnected the phone,and now I just have the white Samsung logo,although I CAN get into download mode and hard reset
My issue is what am I supposed to download,and how? I'm as noob as you get,but hopefully I can follow simple instructions.
I found a thread on here about firmware revision,but when I click on that it wanted me to install iVid,or something like that,and not even sure what firmware I was supposed to be using.
Under the battery it shows Rev 1.4
Please,can someone help me restore my phone?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, well since you can put it in download mode, you can install MAGLDR (custom bootloader) and flash a custom rom.
Install all for revision 1.4 , link for MAGLDR(read carefully the instructions) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485569

I really appreciate the help.
I'm a little concerned about putting anything custom because of my lack of technical knowledge. I'm afraid if I encounter any issues in the future,it wont be easily corrected with custom roms.
Does Zune then work with a custom Rom,or is it no longer needed?
Can anyone provide the factory firmware and instructions on how to download and install ?

Ok thanks. I guess I didn't read it well enough,as this is the thread that I did search ,but wasn't sure as to what link to use,and when I cliick on the links I got this:
http://lnx.lu/5yD, and I didn't think that was right as stated in the very 1st line of my original post. I guess I should have linked that thread and asked the question form there as which to use,and if I was supposed to be on some page for "final torrent"

okay, let's go slower then:
- went to the link with the factory firmware
- there are three roms provided there; since you said that your focus is a rev 1.4, the correct rom is the one labeled WP7_PRODUCT_4K (1.4 HW), in other words, the rom named "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K"
- clicked the link, multiupload says that the file is no longer available
- went back and checked the other two just because... all gone... figures, HEH
- performed a web search for the term "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K" (see the trend here?)
- while most of the mirrored links are dead, there are still mirrors alive and well, as noticed on the very first page of results
- one of these is stored on depositfiles, the link: http://depositfiles.com/files/oimdoqz1r
- the other is on zippyshare, http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/14086695/file.html
now your mission is:
- download the file
- follow enderpsp's guide, here, again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17092804#post17092804
- if successful, treat yourself to a nice drink
- SAVE THE FILE in its original package and store it in a cool, dry location for future use
...and that's why i said that search works. because it does
cheers and good luck
ps. there's a thanks button in this forum for a reason :angel:

I agree,as long as you know what your searching for. When you find threads with broken links ,as I did,it makes a noob even more confused then when they started the search. See 1st line of my original post.
I'm just a guy that had a working phone and when it went to update, killed my phone.
I had no idea the rom you posted is what I needed,,,,so again thanks:good:.

Now I'll explain what happened when I tried the above:
When you follow enderpsp's guide he states:
You will not need the "Samsung WP7 Flash Program" as it is included in the ROM (Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe).
Install Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Unfortunately no instruction for a noob on how to install the USB Drivers:crying:
Next it states to:
"1. Copy "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe" in a new folder and run it (Install). After running you will see these files:
signed_CSC_Cetus_ATT_i917ATTJK2.csc
signed_eboot_Cetus_ATT.eb0
signed_pda_Cetus_ATT.nb0
signed_phone_Cetus_ATT.bin
WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe
Then it goes on to state:
"The fhash program you need to run is
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe"
Unfortunately WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe is not part of the download.
The flash program you are being told to run isn't there:crying:
Again very confusing for a noob (see the trend here?)
So currently here is where it stands. Don't ask me how,but after more hours spent on this then I can remember,I manage to restore the phone... YEAA !!
but when I connect the phone to the computer or just turn it on it tells me there are updates for the phone. Running these updates is exactly what caused the problem originally,so now I don't know if I should try again,or just leave a working phone alone?
But again,I really do thank you for your time and support.Yor help is what kept me going at trying to resolve my issue.

Yes,I did,but then it tells me there is a update. Updating the phone through Zune is what started my original problem.
Plus I'm not really sure what the update really is for.
