Phone doesn't turn on, pls help ! - Vibrant General

My phone was kind of soft-bricked, I was getting some error and couldn't get through the recovery mode.
I tried to re-flash it to stock using odin and after repartitioning mobile turned of and now it doesn't react to anything.
I've tried all combinations I could think of - mobile is just dead, black screen...
Has anyone had similar problem, is there any solution other than bringing it back to samsung ?

hmmm maybe a little more information can help us
like ROM and what were you doing before this happened.

The best phone in the world

I was on Obsidian v2
Then I tried to restore to a previous (Bionix Fusion) version which bricked my phone - I was getting an error (don't remember the exact error and can't check it now - something about not being able to mount) every startup and couldn't get out of the recovery mode.
Was trying this solution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817186 - and after the step "Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass"." my mobile turned off and that was it.

Many thanks to Thegreat520
Following his advice I was able to enter the download mode and finish recovering.
Wow, that was scary

Perhaps you could post the advice that helped you? The regular battery pulling - volume buttons holding thing?

Brick my phone applying 3 button fix

I tried applying [110% SAFE] 3-Button Combo FiX for Selected/ALL Firmwares
It failed and now I had a Phone ! PC logo. I can get a USB JIG but will it still boot to download mode? If it does, what should I flash it with? stock 2.1? stock 2.2? Please help!! Am I still able to get into DOWNLOAD mode with JIG?? THANKS!!!
P/S Flash this fix on my friend's i9000 and it worked. No Idea why didnt worked on mine =(
Any help please????
Your bootloader is fine if you get the PC-phone blinking icon. Best bet is to send your phone for warranty.
What was your original OS before flashing, 2.1 or 2.2?
You should flash the full package of whatever OS you were on by using the jig to get to the donwnload mode then flashing with Odin.
I will try to make a USB JIG and get in to download mode. Will flash stock firmware and see. Thanks! So if there's still Phone ! PC icon, bootloader still intact?
I'd you still have download mode, I have found that holding all three buttons and when galaxy logo comes up releasing all it works?
Open Odin. In PDA add a new kernel ie voodoo. Put phone in download and connect to Odin. Press start and in 20 seconds all should be good. Always works for me. Just a kernel file though. No repartition. auto reboot checked. Good luck

The phone has no 3 button combo, that's why I tried applying the 3 button fix but it brick. So I hope as long as it still shows Phone ! PC logo, it's still able to get into download mode using usb JIG.
Yes, the JIG should put the phone in download mode... its a very useful tool so look after it.
then when your in download mode, i personally would flash 2.1 with all 3 files and PIT. also check the re-partition box in odin. and start again good luck.

Bricked Screen
(A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)
For reference, this is what a bricked Samsung Galaxy S looks like. To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.
Black Screen of Death
A fully bricked phone (as shown on the screenshot) will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.
This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.

making (or maybe buy) a JIG is the way to get back to live the phone, even the screen shows nothing.
i had the same problem , while trying to "unlock " the 3 button combo my galaxy s managed to become a brick , so i made the jig and flashed it again with 2.2
i still lack the 3 button combination but whenever i need to get to donwload/recovery mode i use ADB
easier and safer
good luck mate
@danc00: no phone is dead. i know people with a riff box who give this phone life for only 30€.
you only need a jtag / riff box
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7edUXE7jLg
if you want to send it to germany to give it life again give me a message.
first you should search smbdy who has this box in your country
@kako: if the first and the second bootloaders are damaged only a jtag/riff box can help your phone ah or samsung itself i dunno what they use for it
cheers

HELP: Cannot get back into Download Mode...Truly Bricked??

I'm pretty sure I just bricked my **@#*& phone trying to Flash the Semaphore 1.6.0Bm kernel
It failed the first time around when I tried to flash it via Odin.
So I took the battery out like I usually do then went to put it back into download mode... To my surprise I cannot get into download or recovery mode anymore.
I've tried all button methods and none worked. I can't get past the screen that has the cell --- computer screen.. Looks like I may need a jig now...?
Any other ideas that I might be able to try?
Thanks.
What happens when you three finger boot and just keep holding it? Same screen you have now?

You mean holding the Vol up & down, Home and power button?
Same thing.
I've left the battery out for over 20 minutes, tried it while plugged into the computer, the adapter and not plugged in at all.. Still nothing.
This sucks..
if the phone doesn't do anything at all you can probably take it in to your service center and tell them it wont turn on but it didn't get wet or anything... ubless they have some magical way to get it into download then they'll replace it if you're under warranty.

Thanks for your responses.
I tried the OneClick.jar heimdall method but it seems to not recognize that the phone is even plugged in.
I did just purchase a USB jig off ebay, I'm guessing that this is my last option before having to bring it back to Telus for a replacement

I got this same problem when I installed CM7 on my T959d for the first time and Odin hung after clicking [Start]. Rebooted my phone and was greeted with a nice soft-brick screen. What a scare that was.
Here's what I did:
1. Take out the battery from the phone.
2. Plug the phone via USB to the PC (odin was open)
3. Hold down [VOL -] key
4. Hold down [POWER] key
I don't remember if the SGH-GTI9000 screen popped up, but if it does, wait for it to switch back to a black screen and then release just the [POWER] key, keeping [VOL -] pressed.
That put me back in Download Mode. Fired up ODIN again and the flash was successful this time around.
edit: Also, the Semaphore kernel i see in i9000 is for JVS roms. I'm not sure how that would affect darkys, since it's a JVR rom.

[Q] Cant Get into AP Fast Boot!

I accidentally,... . unknowingly wiped the RED "system" button in Safestrap 3.12 on my Droid RAZR M today. (I was suppose to be wiping the cash and dalvik, but missed) I'm a retard I know. :crying:
Now I cant get into AP Fastboot to restore the phone from this hard brick!
When I press the power button along with the volume buttons, the only thing that happens is the red Motorola 'M" appears for a few seconds then the safe strap screen appears with the little sad robot, but that's it no AP Fastboot. Pressing the on screen buttons to enter Safestrap Recover do not respond. Oh boy I'm afraid I really did it this time. Its on the charger but i don't know if its even charging with out as OS?
Battery power was at 60% before i bricked it (i think). RSD Lite or my PC for that matter don't even see the phone when its plugged in.
Can this be saved? Or do I need to take a trip down to the Verizon Wireless store?

Really? Well I hope your right. It gives me some hope. lol So do you have any idea of what alternative key combo i might have to use? Thank you for the reply.
Try holding power & volume down until the screen flickers then hold power and both volume buttons. You gotta be quick
If your boot loader is locked you won't be able to fast boot back until the new fast boot files come out though if your on 4.1.2

New to this, i accidentally the whole phone, same problem im in AP fastboot but registers as Device Locked
run through it on windows OS but says 'Fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command" and doesnt reboot as said
this process took 1min
Halp
This thread saved my life, then killed me. The suggestion about the different keys was spot on, i got into fast boot mode, then ran that utility. It totally failed me, I must have killed my phone pretty dead, and now there are no more key combos (the suggested one worked at first but now its just making the screen go blank) to try to get back into fast boot to try again. any more suggestions? on the up side verizon just pushed that update so i figure i can blame that to attempt an exchange
Did you take the update before using that utility? If you did, which version did you use? If you were already updated, then you needed to run 1.20. If you ran the wrong utility, that will cause issues. Now, since you can't boot, it sounds like your battery is dead. When you get to the blank screen, plug it in and leave it to charge for a while.
I'm no expert by any means but I'll try to help as best i can. If not me I'm confident someone else will. Now, I apologize because I didn't understand your original post.
Could you elaborate a little more please?
1. What were you trying to do with your phone prior to things going wrong, if they went wrong at all.
2. you mentioned AP Fastboot. So IM going to assume that at least you can access it. (not the same problem that I was having) that's a good thing! lol
3. Are you utilizing a utility like the one by Matt? Or are you doing something else? Like flashing firmware etc.
4. What were you in Fastboot for? What were your intentions?
I hope this doesn't come over a condescending. Just trying to get a Clearer understand of your issue so we can help.

Also if i force it off (with power button and volume button) It just goes back to the Red M.

Holding the combination of buttons will only cause it to reboot, every time. Holding the power button down will make it shutdown. With that being said, what was your battery like before you started all of this? If it's below 50%, you're going to have a hard time. Shut the phone down and charge the battery ovenight, prior to attempting to fastboot.
If your battery is good, then you can fastboot. Hold all three buttons down, until you get the phone to power off. As soon as power goes off, you'll see a quick line flash at the top of the screen. As soon as you see this flash, quickly let go of the power button and then re-press it. If you got it right, you'll go into the fastboot menu. If you got it wrong, it will attempt to reboot. If it reboots, just try the button combo again. Once you get into the fastboot menu, use the vol- key to get to the option you need, and then hit the vol+ to choose that option.

[Q] Bricked S4?

I seem to have bricked my S4.. Here's what I did... I was flashing the KT kernel, and accidentally downloaded the wrong version. After flashing, my phone will do nothing more than sit on a black screen and vibrate every 2 seconds. I used Odin to return to stock, and it completed successfully. It still does nothing more than sit on a black screen and vibrate. Can anyone help? Sorry for the new thread, but I'm desperate. Thanks for any help.
Have you tried using kies?
Pull your battery and wait a few seconds. Reinsert the battery and press the recovery combo (vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner of the screen). If this gets you into stock recovery, wipe data, cache and reboot.

I've been having the same problem and have tried this method numerous times with no results. The phone simply will not boot into recovery, even after restoring to factory using Odin. It's incredibly frustrating. I'm at my wit's end.
Another person had a very similar problem last night. He was able to use kies to get the phone working. Give that a try.

I had the same exact problem. Someone told me to rewrite the partition table and flash but I don't know what that means and the person who suggested this failed to elucidate. It's crazy that there's no info on this situation ANYWHERE.
I've been digging, and digging, AND DIGGING, and I haven't found a solution other than JTAG and RIFFBOX. I've read good and bad things. Looks like this phone is now a paperweight. Maybe one day there'll be a not-so-ridiculous solution.

This has probably been mentioned before...but I will try anyways. I tried galaxynote3root*dot*com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ but it didn't work. Then I tried CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8 and it put my phone in a permanent boot loop and says recovery is not seandroid enforced!!! This is my work phone so I really hope someone can help.:crying:
So it says that about recovery and then what? You must give more info.
But I'll save you the trouble.
Go into download mode and flash stock firmware and start over. Do not use cf auto root this time. Lets get your device working. I can easily help you but you must follow my direction

I don't think download mode can be messed up unless in a very serious instances.
Just to make sure, here's how to access download mode;
- remove battery and put back in but don't press power
- press Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message appears on the screen, then let go of all the buttons
- press Vol Up to enter download mode

If you cannot put your phone in download mode through button presses, then I think you're only option is a jig short of sending it in for a repair.

Thers no way from what you've told us that you did that you're unable to enter dl mode. You've either done something else that you failed to mention or you're not entering dl mode properly. Keep trying and make it happen

Actually I tried DL mode right after hey_joe mentioned it just to see if I missed anything but it didn't work. I had tried it before as well but figured why not try it again. Both recovery and download modes are inaccessible. The only things I have done are the 2 processes I mentioned above, then I tried to get into DL (power, home, volume down) but no warning message came up...it just rebooted. and recovery mode (power home and up) a few times but got frustrated after it kept simply rebooting. I finally called a Telus tech support and they told me to try kies but it won't even detect the phone at all.
If I send this in will they be able see that I messed with the phone and void the warranty?

Sorry bud but I refyse ti believe based on just using cf auto root that you cannot access dl mode. Battery pull, hold home, vol down, then push and hold power (all three kept pressed)

Like I said, you can easily get into download mode by using a jig so they would see knox tripped ( if yours was ) and also the custom system not to mention that when you power it on, it will show " Seandroid enforcing, etc... ). So yes I'm guessing they might charge you for an easy fix.

replace *dot* with . and it become a hyperlink. I used that tutorial and then when I restarted my phone after I saw that it didn't do anything i then did CF Autoroot. Then after everything was done I got the error and am unable to boot into download or recovery.
Try to remove battery & wait about 30 minutes.
Then put it back & press power. It works for me one week ago with the same issue.
Sorry my english
Disconnect the usb cable and then battery pull. I had the same problem. If u battery pull while thr usb cable is plugged in it is still getting power.

I had the same problem. Pull the battery out and in again and press vol down, home and powerbutton till you get in download mode. Then volume down to restart phone. It will restart as normal.
The solution of this warning for me was to try different Odin (where the box is yellow instead of blue) and install CWM recovery.
