Ok so my phone was bricked and Ive been trying these past few days to fix it with odin. Odin doesnt work on my computer though. Today I connected it and odin started to work and it started to flash, it got to the factoryfs part and then froze, so I disconnected it.
Now my phone won't enter download mode and it won't turn on anymore.. what can I do?
EDITL: So i got into the sprint store and tell them that some update made my screen turn off and it wouldnt turn back on/nor charge. They were working on it for like an hour then they came to me and said that i have to pay 35$ then i can pick up a new one on tuesday. Yay and I was able to ad insurance because I didnt have it before.
I'd try just taking it back to Sprint and tell them that you were performing an OTA update and it just died in the middle of it and you don't know what to do.
Is your battery charged? Because it should at least power on

Im not sure but it doesnt charge even if I plug it into the wall =( And yeah ill try to go to the sprint store tomorrow, if they question me about rooting should I deny everything? Can they check if the phone is rooted?
Yeah, just play dumb and act like you don't know what happened with it, and it just went blank during an OTA update. They can't see if the phone is rooted or not as far as I'm concerned, but if you bring it to a Sprint repair shop, I'm pretty certain that they won't know.
Actually just try pulling the battery for 3 minutes,then download mode should work,then re-odin...This has happened to me 3 times,really thought it was bricked the first time.

I did that and nothing happens, it doesnt charge anymore i think. Im pretty sure its hard bricked now :/
The Sprint store is going to try another battery first before they throw the towel in on the phone. If that doesn't work then yes play dumb and do exactly as previously stated by @brianhuangbh.... "Was doing an OTA and it just froze". Good luck and let us know what they said

same thing happened to me, that i ended up getting another phone. anyway i was fooling around with my brick epic when i decided to put in a fully charged battery in. nothing happened but i noticed after a while that the phone was warm. i pulled the battery then waited a couple of minutes then put it back in and held the power and 1 button and what do you know, it went to download mode. i used Odin CORRECTLY this time and now it works. when using odin make sure reboot is the only box checked and that u start Odin first then plug the epic in.
So i went to the sprint store and everything turned out good

Just jumped ships from sprint and got my facinate. Today rooted with one click and tried installing clock work. Thmanage rom manager. All seems well then suddenly my phone freezes for ten minutes I have to do a battery pull. Phone wont boot in anyway or form now. No lights or signs of life other than if I hold the power button as long as its pressed. A device labeled SEC S5PC110 Test B/D appears in device manager. And that'd all it will do. Thinking about exchanging it tomorrow afternoon. Just letting the community know what happened to me any thoughts as how or what happened might be able to help future mishaps
I'd try doing an odin flash. Just search the forums for the step by step. If u can get the phone into flash mode.
Yeah dude, definitely try Odin. Did you try flashing cwm from within ROM manager? I ask because that doesn't work for our phones yet, and it wouldn't surprise me if that could cause problems. I would use Odin to flash it back to stock, and then use the very thorough guide on here on how to get cwm going.

Possibly bootlocked.
Newer Fascinates seem to be locked. Don't know if there is any way to tell which you've got without attempting a modification of the system....which would of course, result in the above nastiness....
I would think that if newer fascinates were boot locked, so would mesmerizes and I first flashed the stock files for Verizon on my phone then went to elements zinc (which is awesome BTW) installed voodoo 1200 kernel and everything is working great for me. Could just be that he got a bunk phone or something

I sort of had the same issue, but nothing I do will get the unit to power on. Plugging it in to the charger does not turn the charging light on. And no three button method is working. The screen stays black, no charging light. Suggestions?
Never mind, it did come back.

You're going to have to give us info if you want any help.

RANT- Is it me or is it ever thread now somebody bricking their epic? Not trying to be a **** but it like people dont research at all. Me coming from an evo i will admit the epic is a whole other beast. But i atleast took the time to research everything before i rooted.
mmhertz26= Try getting the phone in download mode( hold power button with #1 key) at the same time. If that works use odin to flash back to stock with right files. Also check your download files size before you try to flash it.

The word brick is used too losely around here. Unless you've messed with the boot loader, and can no longer get into download mode your phone is NOT bricked.
Bricked means your phones is just a hunk of metal/plastic that's good for nothing but a paper weight.

BTW its is thrown around how about saying in your thread title like stuck on a screen, errors in clockwork or other nice terms to help u more,
It is really hard to brick this thing believe me ive done it all, FCs, errors in clockwork, stuck on samsung screens boot loops and yesterday officially bricked!!!
The only reason it bricked is some charge card in a beta bonsai rom, but thats what tep is for.
And remeber if you can see something on your screen of your phone use odin or heimdell to go back to stock if you phone wont charge,gointo download mode or go on or go into recovery then its time to take it in and replace it.
Mnhertz26. Did you fix your epic too or is it another real brick?¿
I know what a brick phone is. Im just tired of people not knowing what to do asking questions that are already explanied and sticky on top of the page. Not researching will cause this problem until people realize that if you dont understand this then you need to read, read, read. I had a wm phone and if you flashed the wrong file...DONE. Atleast with the epic as long as it can get in download mode you should be fine.

Another real brick? So far there haven't been any Epic's that weren't recoverable.
Ouch I am so glad I did not run Bonsai on my phone yet I was waiting for i dunno what but dodged that issue.
For those who jacked thier phones but didnt brick persay make sure you have a charged battery before starting and if unabl to charge after the incident you can charge in an external charger to get back into dload mode to odin back to stock or CW flash a back-up

I was hoping someone hand any advice on my problem. I was running EF02 rom with EF10 modem and flashed EG22 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123103
Now my phone doesn't turn on. Nothing works. Any help would be great.
Fixed:
I just let the battery and sdcard sit out of the phone for 45 minutes (doesn't have to be this long) then I put the battery back in and was able to get into download mode. I am flashing the phone back to stock as I think I might have messed something else up earlier. Make sure that after you put the pit file in odin you uncheck re-partition if you are just updating the modem.
This is how I brought my phone back from a hard brick. Thanks everyone for their help.

no lights, no samsung logo, no led lights, phone looks completely dead.
Try this:
Remove SD card and battery, leave SD card out, put back battery and try booting into download mode (1 key + power button).

Similar thing happened to my wife's Epic 4G yesterday morning. Instead of the stuck logo there was a bunch of error messages and finally I realized that there was some kind of backup program running. It was frozen and since I'm not up on Samsung I took it to the nearby Sprint service center. They futzed around with it for about an hour and said they had tried everything and there was nothing they could do since it was rooted - it was bricked and I should buy a new phone.
Not so fast Kimosabe!
I looked closer and figured out that the stuff I was looking at was a menu that could be scrolled with the volume keys and selected with the power button. That got it to reboot to the Samsung logo and no amount of battery removal or other manipulation would change that. So, off I went to another Sprint Repair facility a little further away. Success! After about 90 minutes they had it working with 2.3.5 loaded and my wife is very happy, the way wives should be.
I haven't checked but I doubt it's rooted anymore which is fine as she doesn't need any of the extended functions rooting offers anyway.

Same thing happened to my wifes Epic. It was stocked but rooted. Same as described in the first post. She got the text or message that her upgrade was ready, but after following the steps, her phone said it was up to date. After powering it off and then back on, it wouldn't get past the Samsung screen.
I tried everything. It wouldn't boot to recovery, only download mode. I had to odin it back to EC05. Then I upgraded it manually to Gingerbread with the official update.zip. Working great.
I never got the text on my phone that my upgrade was ready. I just manually updated to Gingerbread.
BTW. Battery on both phones has never been better.
Hope you got your phone working too.

Agree with Kenny! You should odin back to stock.
I to can verify . I had just gotten a new replace 3days before the update. When the update came out I ran it and bam stuck at the sammy screen . I tried to odin and that wouldn't even work . So took it to sprint service center and they said it was a no go for them . Would have to be replaced would even go to download . Called sprint and *****ed up a storm . They over nighted me another phone . 2 phone in 1 week. Pretty sure they hate me now but screw it . This was in no way user error . I've been seeing a few other case of similar issue.
On a side note . I've found that the best way to odin if it won't go into dl is by removing battery and sd plug in to usb with odin up and then press 1 and power button at the same time . But I think it only works on soft bricks in this case it might work not sure but worth a try.

Hate to say it but if your phone wont even turn on at all its likely bricked.. you cant get into recovery or download mode i assume?
also, the link you provided doesnt appear to be for our device at all.. we never had a nd7/mj9 build nor have we ever had phillz recovery..
you should have used the alliance roms posted in the dev section for the g900v and not from the site.. you most likely flashed the wrong rom and your phone didnt like it

Hard brick, advanced paper weight and toddler toy. Are just some of the names you can call it now. If you flashed the wrong ROM then you are SOL. There is no repairing on your own. Stop your online searching now cause it's a waste of time.
Sorry man. Wish you luck.

I guess I got lucky. My phone wouldn't start up for me, but the Samsung Chat Rep had me take out and replace the battery, then boot up into download mode (volume down+power+home). It worked.

It wouldn't turn on... that's what they fixed. I tried several times and charged it for a bit to see if that would help. Maybe it was just at a black screen and I thought it was off? I worked on it for about a half hour, trying not to panic before chatting up Samsung.

This is not the way any development thread should begin... Development has specific rules for what can be posted & this is most certainly not not one of them. Things like this belong in the Q&A section... Please post in the correct sections - Consider this your warning to understand & follow the rules of these forums.
Thank you.

He's not the OP dude. He's another member who was trying to help the OP by sharing his experience of getting some type of brick situation resolved. I see you were on the mobile app when you replied and I know the OP isn't identified in subsequent posts the way it is on the site. Just a friendly FYI.
