bricked sort of?

i am in desperate need of help i tried giving my pops a hand with his vibrant since he sees all the stuff i do to my nexus..i flashed the stock firmware from jac and the phone will not boot...well actually i get the tmobile splash...the vibrant splash..and the s animtion..problem is after that i guess the phone just hangs...the screen nvr turns on..i press the capacitive buttons and they light up but nothing on th screen and i cant get it to turn on...now i dont believe its bricked cause i can get into recovery and into download mode..i tried flashing through odin about three times...everything goes through..the phone resets..goes through the boot screens but after that nothing comes up...backtracking for a min...the whole reason i tried to flash the stock jac firmware was because i went into rom manager and tried to partition the sdcard..when i hit partition the phone rebooted and nothing would come up..i am assuming that it reformatted the internal card..needless to say thats when i tried flashing the stock and this is where im stuck at...i would really appreciate some help..and hopefully this will stop anyone else from running into this issue...do not try to partition the sdcard from rom manager..i hope i have described this in enough detail...thanks

looks like someone might owe his daddy a new phone.
Get ready for a spanking.

If my dad were still alive he would probably murder me if I ever bricked his new 200 dollar phone.
Just kidding. I hope you get it working bro. If not, try to exchange it. Say you don't know what happened to it, you turned it off and let it charge overnight and when you woke up to turn it on, this happened. Have tears in your eyes. They'll exchange it for you

I agree with this. If you dad goes in, T-mo won't think "This old dude must have hacked it!" They'll exchange it right away and even apologize to him.

have you tried to manually remove the partition and see if it boots? or try to boot without the sdcard?

what I did was flash Eugenes Froyo rom which worked well, then I re-flashed the stock rom. Now it works just like before.

could u explain to me how to do that..i would appreciate it..cuz i kind of think it has to be a problem with partitions..also another thing i noticed is when the phone reboots and goes into recovery in red letters data wipe says fail..i have also tried both pit files 512 and 513..evrything thing works gets past boot screens but the screen doesnt come on

[GUIDE] Sprint sph p100 stock firmware RECEOVERY: last resort.

Ok i decided i post what i did to recovery my sprints tab from a bad kernel flash that i didn't install clock work recovery, I thought my tab was a lost cause which i even chatted with hsn were i bought mine at for a replacement which would've took up to 30days.. So awhile i wait for that i decided to try and get it working till i get the prepaid label lol
Matter what i did it kept getting stuck at the samsung screen and couldn't get into recovery but download mode work luckly. i tried all kernels listed and it still got stuck which at the time i thought my tab was bricked or semi brick.
What i did is keep searching for the stock firmware which was hard to find but i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9753941#post9753941
Heres a direct link http://www.multiupload.com/WDKOUJSM2G
Thanks to ZoinksS2k for the tab sprint no modem firmware
And downloaded the stock no modem firmware the modem one is listed too but it will kill your gps and 3g might not work so i just did the no modem one.
So i downloaded it and odin was package with it and i couldn't get it to detect my tab in download mode ony when the tab was off it detected it..
So i tried heimdall and at first i couldn't get it to flash the start button was grayed out because i was putting the tar file into pda/code so i open the tar file and found factory.rfs param.ifs and cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs so i loaded all thoes in the heimfall boxes and than loaded the stock zimage which is in the tar too.
And than i flashed and saw the samsung screen and it went right pass it and played the samsung splash screen so i knew i was getting somewhere so it got stuck on the next samsung screen again.. So i turn it off and hold home button and volume up button than i push the power button and hold all 3 buttons till i saw the samsung screen and i left go the power button and the stock recovery loaded right up
So i did the wipe data/factory reset and i also did the wipe cache data just in case but im sure just the factory reset would work, And i restarted the tab and it went pass all screens and it loaded android!!! And everything was working 3g wifi gps and everything else.
So hopefully this guide will help others as a last resort if you ony get the samsung screen and download mode ony,If you get the receovery than just do the factory wipe.
This is worth a try first than sending it back to samsung and having to wait too get your tab back It sure saved me from having to send it back too hsn or samsung.
If you want you can thank me if this help you for providing the info

Gordesky,
Any idea how to go back to stock firmware + stock modem and all that from using the voodoo kernel? I have CWM Recovery 3.0 working.

Because, after going into Voodoo CWM Recovery, using wipe data/factory reset still keeps the kernel that I installed on - which is what makes my camera screwy.

If you want to go back to fully stock then follow his instructions and flash the stock kernel from the Zephyr thread. I actually am in the same boat as the OP and followed his instructions and now I'm fully back to stock.

Yep just do what I said which the tar file also have the stock kernel too.
Right now im on the voodoo kernel which works perfect except that cdrom problem but camera works for me so im gonna still with.this kernel so far. It seems the new sprint update doesint work right with the voodoo kernel problaby why I dont have any problems because I didint install the sprint update.
So when you go back too stock and want too give the voodoo another try dont install the sprint update when it asks you too, And everything should work other than the sdcard cdrom problems, Which I can deal with till it gets fixed because I do love the speed of this voodoo kernel
And the sound

Thank you gordesky1 for posting your experience because I was going through the exact same thing and I was at a loss as to how to resolve it. Unfortunately I did install the update but I'm pretty sure if I flash the same files again that I will go back to the original rom if that's necessary. The big problem with that is that the exchange fix in the update was something i was waiting for =\ so I think i'm going to wait and see if some of these issues are fixed in the next update but I wonder if we have to get Boushh a Sprint tab though =\ every day I curse myself for not getting a t-mobile or at least a Verizon tab *sigh*

No problem
Ya tell me about it... Bad thing for me is the sprint was my ony option which i got it because hsn were i bought it from had a flex pay on this tab which they ony have the sprint tab, and at the time i couldint pay 400 or 600$ right out. And i also got a 3years warranty on top of it from them even if i break it or drop it anywere which i pretty much got for free because they made a mistake at first with some software
The other tabs have cheaper 3g too like 5gb for 15 too 30$ a month.. But so far sprint is treating me good and the 3g has been stable so far and pretty fast loading webpages and can usely watch a youtube video but dont want too use up my monthy usage lol i usely use up too 500 too 600mbs max out of 2g and i useit every day and even download apps with it when im not near a wifi spot and listen too pandora too so i was suprized i didint get close too the 2gb limit yet.
Hopefully this thread will help more and save them from having too send it back too samsung or were they got it from, i know how it feels not having this tab which i use everyday at work.

I knew not to flash the modem from the restore package posted but when I tried to restore I used the .pit and the .tar. Failed at modem. So, being dumb I flashed the modem file. ugh.
Now I know all you need to do is flash the .tar, nothing else, no pit.

Your Post Saved Me!!!!!

Your welcome and glad it helped I figure it was worth posting sense it brought my tab back too life which i thought i would've had too sent it back and waited a month or so, And wanted others too get there tab back too life with out playing the wait game which i really hate .. lol

I flash the above .tar and .pit with Odin and I still can't get rid of CWM. I had CWM 3.0 working. Then I flashed a Kernel (Khasmek) with kernel flasher and the damn thing froze on the splash screen. So I odin and it doesn't do a full factory reset. CWM folder is still there. Does anbody know how to completely revert back to stock firmware?
I basically want to start over from scratch and never use Kernel flasher.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Flash the zImage from the stock rom in the recovery slot using hiemdall and it will flash the stock recovery over cwm.

I performed that action and it works it does get rid of CWM but now I am still unable to install sprint updates they fail half way into it

I am having the exact same problem, really wish I had read your post before I attempted to get CWM on my sprint galaxy tab.
I believe the update failed for me due to mismatch baseband (EB28) and system build (DJ30), I am looking for a roto backup copy of system build EB28, if anyone have it, please help and upload!
Many thanks.

I flashed the zImage with heimdall and it still wont do a sprint system update and also I cannot do the cwm process again to format to ext4.

Check out the newly leaked EA24 flasher, it will update both system and baseband to EA24 and you will be able to update after that.

I tried using odin with the stock firmware with no modem, everything went good but when it attemped to restart still nothing ? can someone please school me on how to do this properly please. Im a pretty good listener if im given descent instructions lol please by all means HELP lol

Hi all, i have a problem... my phone wont boot when i press power button it just shows the i5800 screen, BUT i can get to download mode but that wont help because i flashed again with odin and it said "passed" but its stuck on i5800 screen. i have tried everything... it all started today when my phone fell from my pocket and the battery flew out. so i think it might be broken or something. if you know what to do please help

try shaking the phone
keep it near your ears and shake
if you hear some sounds then maybe something is broken
roll back to eclair and try updating via kies-that may help a lot
if updated - take to service center
even if not
take to service center and tell them i never used kies so not on froyo(if they ask)
One more thing
Do this all after some time of no flashing,rooting,anything like that to the phone
let it be as it is for some time
sometimes this really helps(hpnd wid me)

Have you tried the usual as in taking the battery out for a minute, wiping data/cache + factory reset? Then trying to install as stock JPM? And have you just waited for several minutes for it to go past the I5800 screen? If it takes a moment for it to gather its bearings after a sudden drop.

As we Finns would say at this point... Perkele! It is dead, man. One last resort is stock JPM. Maybe you need to risk it and stick in the bootloader aswell...

Try flashing an earlier FroYo version like JP9 and then flash JPM or some other new version.

I was running virtuous primodonna. i wasnt doing anything, but my phone randomly illuminated with a black screen. i pulled the batter and when i rebooted it stayed at splash screen, then the screen showed random screwed up lines and all this. then it rebooted by itself and went to recovery. I've wiped my data and cache and dalvik but nothing works. i've tried restoring backups but it says that its failing to recover the system. please someone help
If no one knows. can someone please provide me with a rom that will brick my phone so it WONT BOOT UP WHATSOEVER. that way i can go to the tmo store for replacement? so they cant go into recovery and figure out i've rooted it. PLEASE someone

Let's not brick your phone intentionally just yet! Try getting hold of a PD15IMG.zip (2.2.1 or 2.3.4, either works unless you want to root again, then go for 2.2.1). Boot into bootloader with the PD15IMG on the root of your SD, then let it update. If it doesn't and says Fail-PU, then you are bricked and could send it back to T-Mobile. Or you could try flashing another ROM. Hope this helps!

OK since that did not work, place the PD15IMG on your SD, and when it is updating, pull the battery. That will brick it for sure (I think..). Press thanks if I helped.

do this: wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash the original ROM (the one you have a backup of, but not the actual back up)
THEN restore the backup, it shouldnt get stuck at system anymore

I think you're fine honestly. Good luck matey!

Get a 12v power supply, cut the end off and strip the wires. Take the battery out and touch the wires to the phones battery contacts a couple times. Replace battery try to power on. If it doesn't turn on your done, if it does try again. Tell them it was on the charger and shut off when you unplugged it and wouldn't turn on.

I had a similar problem when the splash screen got stuck last night flashing a new radio. I took the sdcard and plugged it in the netbook, accessed the root rolder and renamed the PD15IMG.zip so the HBOOT wouldn't read the file. It stopped the HBOOT from reading the file so I could access Recovery then reflashed my recovery file. I forgot to do the data wipe/dalvik before I flashed the radio lol.

If you can boot, you can get to recovery. Hold down Power and Volume up until it reboots. release power and hold volume up until it gets past the blue "booting recovery" and then some more until recovery comes up. Then restore your nandroid that you made before this started.

As my OP states, I have flashed the stock firmware with Odin (3x now). The progress bar finishes and it reboots but the screen just remains black and it vibrates. I did do a manual format in TWRP as the Slim Bean changelog states I should have done. I am freaking out If I bring it back to the store (its less than 30 days old) will they deny me a replacement? I can't see how they could tell I did anything to it if I just say "IDK what happened it just stopped working."
EDIT: I flashed both Slim Bean Build 6 and their Addon pack at the same time.

You have to do a factory reset from your recovery, but getting into the recovery is all about timing. Pull the battery, put battery back in, hold power, home and volume up until it vibrates, as soon as you feel vibration, let go of power only... Then if you get into recovery, do a factory reset and reboot

not how matter you try its gone. I dont understand how odin isint fixing it. i went to instal kernal and after that phone went ape s**t
IT wont even show the SAMSUNG first logo just black screen with vibrating evey 4 secs.
if phone won't boot and it wont show anything on the screen just vibrating. do you think att is going to run me around. im within my 14day return policy. are they going to be able to tell what i did with nothing to see let alone Odinsaid it did right so that means even tho it wont boot the root is gone becasue its back to factoy but no boot.
thank you for you time and help. hopefully someone out there has an awnser.

Yeah, I'm going to go to AT&T later. No matter what I try, I cannot boot into recovery. Kies won't see it, Odin doesn't work. I'm within 30 days of my purchase so hopefully they'll replace it.

If its AT&T i think its 14 days now as to what i was told when i got it.
so there is no one that has figured this out. im seeing more about it but no one can figure it out.
PLZ let me know what happens at AT&T. im going after work at 7. untill then im looking every where for anwsers.
NOT GETTING SAMSUNG POST SCREEN
Can ATT tell with the phone just vibrating with nothing showing. you can get in to odin but thats it.
can AT&T tell with out seeing anything saying custom or SU.
DO they have a device that can detect the sytem in its state.

REALLY!?! KNOW ONE ELSE have this problem and fixed it if not at least an awnser about the att thing.
do they have a for sure way of telling modification if the phone wont even boot to recovery or show the first SAMSUNG post spash.
want to find out befor going in there and looking like an idiot.
thank you
sorry for sounding demanding just frustrated :/

The employees at your local store won't have a clue or would even try to figure out the issue. Where the phone gets sent to for repair is a different story. I'm pretty sure those guys can tell the difference between a rooted phone and one that's not.

Thanks took it back and got another. The guys there were clueless trying to get into recovery and it wouldent work. Any one have this happen to them you have 14 days from purchased date. If your over the 14 day then im sorry to tell you that your phone could be stuck that way unless you send it out to get it fixed. Samsung will not help you with warrenty on this.

Well, I went back to best buy, tried to play it off like IDK what happend. Guy saw right through me and said "it looks like the phone was damaged while rooting" I admitted to it. Luckily he said Geek Squad Protection covers rooting errors. Because I was within 30 days of purchase, he let me sign up for it. So now I have to wait a week and make a claim for a new phone.

They will prob replace it...
they only check certain things...
is not like the phone police will come running out the stockroom door when you enter the store.... but maybe they should, heh heh

Woop
Hhaha! "Golden" This guy knows :good:

Has anyone figured this out? Also, will AT&T replace it free of charge? I am stressed out now. I flashed the same Slim Bean, how the hell does it brick our devices beyond where even Odin cant restore? Does anyone have a boot loader for download maybe? I really need some help here, and would be nice for those in the future to figure out how to fix this

You are in a month old thread. Would probably help giving some specifics aboyt you're issue
