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.

Thanks a ton, I'm 35% into the RUU.
I'll keep everyone updated.

How do you keep customization from running?

no recovery

my g1 freezes when i try to reboot to recovery, but it doesnt freeze when i reboot normally. i dont know why....i think it has to do with a program i downladed, "droid explorer". so i tried to flash a new recovery through the terminal, thinking "i cant get to recovery because its broken" but that didnt work. when i put through the command, it returns a dozen lines of "error at xxxxxxxxxx (out of memory)"
can anybody help? or am i stuck with the rom i have?

Flash it via fastboot, that should work
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery <path to recovery image>

See Anti what did I tell you, your guide would be very helpful. I think the recovery/boot hacks put out by firerat sometimes could cause corruption. but the nice thing is when it works you get a nice amount of memory. So your damned if you do and your damned if you dont.

it was quite helpful, but you dont change your cd, otherwise it doesnt recognize adb....you just need to remember the directory of the recovery and type it in before it

Well crap...I think I bricked it :-(

I tried to unroot my phone via OCLF from the market. It went dark, then got the normal Vibrant screen, the the Galaxy S screen, then it went dark again. Now, it just sits. Black screen. All the buttons at the bottom are lit up. :-/
Anyone?

Silly question, I know. But did you have a nandroid backup, by any chance?

This is probably a last resort, but try boot into recovery and wipe everything. This fix the problem for me, the downside is you lose all you data.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

If you are anything like me, recovery didn't work and using Odin and reflashing Stock with repartition didn't work either.
You'll need to use odin to flash Eugenes "Vibrant that doesn't brick" (NO REPARTITION), then use odin again to flash Stock (check repartition this time) and you'll be good to go.

You can try to flash the froyo rom with odin...... I had that same exact problem and this is what fixed it for me. Once froyo us flashed then you can flash whatever rom you want. Hth

Ok, I probably should have stated that I'm a complete newby and have no idea what I'm doing. I believe I do have nandroid, but other than that you all are speaking French to me.
Right now I'm in the recover mode (I think). It's hooked up to my computer and I'm in the "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" mode. This is where I'm stuck...I have no idea where to go from here.
Please talk to me like I'm a 5 year old, because as far as this is concerned, I am!
Oh, and thank you so much for any help you can give me!

Well, good news is... you didn't brick your phone, this is recoverable. Best idea would be to search the forums on how to ODIN back to Stock. Theres plenty of posts on how to do it. You should also be able to find this in the tips & tricks threads. Good Luck.

Thank you all for your help! I recovered it!! Seems as though I was just going about it the wrong way!! I got into the actual recovery mode and cleared it all out. Now it's as good as new!
Again, appreciate your help and patience with what I'm sure is the 120,000th post on this subject. ;-)

It isn't -> it's a Firmware for the normal Galaxy (3key)[I'm a idiot]

Thats also the problem as described in front : I have had no chance to received the DL Mode.. maybe I make something wrong? The phone is booting up till the "S" is there, after that, the screen is black, keys are lightning...
The recovery 3button are blocked from the beginning; the DL Menu - I did not have reached it successfully
The PC recognize, that is something on USB, but not what ... so Odin did not see the Mobile, too.

If you flashed Azure, you have also on your phone ROM Manager. You can open ROM Manager and install the gapps from there (select "Install ROM From sdcard").
Or, if you're at the screen with the phone and the red triangle, you can keep pressed Vol UP + Power till a blue menu appears. Choose "flash update.zip" from that menu and you'll end up in the green recovery menu from which you can also select the gapps zip to flash.

You didn't bump the boot image. Anyway this thread should be closed as goes against Android Development forum rules.

it worked for supersu systemless so maybe it also works here.

Hi @DevSwift1 awesome to see you here! Been following your awesome work with the Nexus 7.
Tried flashing this on my device after manually bumping the boot.img. Get the LG logo but then it reboots before entering TWRP. Could possibly be a dodgy download as I don't get the Secure Boot error when using the unbumped boot.img. I'll download this again tomorrow when I have better Internet.

Here here, @DevSwift1 is doing the Lord's work with these builds. I look forward to his work.
Edit: I attempted the boot and it failed. I even tried the permissive kernel bumped zip and it refused to boot up, and merely rebooted back to the recovery. If there is any need of a tester I can assist. Let me know. Thanks again.....

Any chance of a V510 build?
