A couple weeks ago I installed some stupid recovery app that puts the phone into recovery mode. Now whenever I restart my phone it goes into a black screen after the Samsung logo. Whats wrong? My computer can charge the phone but not detect it. Not sure how to resolve this.
I dont know the site because its my girlfriends intercept, i use the eris, but this is a common problem. Look up inxanes kernal and read through the forum and there is a fix.

Post this in Q&A instead of general.
Also provide more information.
1. What specifically did you do..step by step
2. What is the phone doing to make you think it is bricked?
3. What have you tried to do to resolve the issue?
4. Have you searched the forum and found the thread on "How to fix a bricked Epic?"

Whenever you get the Phone/Computer logo, pull the battery, then hold 1 and power on. It should go back to download mode. It has happened to me lots of times due to Odin failing to flash (I usually have to rotate pit's before Odin finally flashes for me).
tried that but still no luck... should i reset my desktop?
it worked!!!!
thank you both very much!!!!
Zomg its not bricked........
Bricked = doesnt turn on to anything!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bricked != download mode
it was stuck on one spot and only went to download mode... that is being bricked right?

No. Being bricked is when it wont even enter download mode, and there is no way get it back. If it will get into download mode, you can Odin it back to stock, and so it is NOT bricked. It is VERY hard to really brick this phone.
The term bricked gets thrown around a lot, but when something is bricked it means you can't use it for anything other than a brick. Unless you royally mess something up you should always be able to hold down the number 1 and power to get to download mode.
Now if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone for what ever reason that is another story. That is usually just an issue with you not having your drivers properly installed.

Officially bricked means "up the creek without a paddle" or in other words, you made a 250-600$ mistake. It is when you get absolutely no reaction from the phone or that no one has ever been able to bring the phone out of that specific state back into working order.
If you get the phone working using the tutorial "How to fix my bricked Epic" then it really wasn't "bricked" in the first place. Glad to hear you got it back.
...also I am very proud of the epic forum goers for not completely murdering this guy for this post..
lol sorry guys but thanks again!!!
No problem. Have fun flashing your phone

I upgraded to official 2.3.4 GB (i think it was a Chinese ROM because i downloaded it from the huawei website) and i did not like it because my phone did not get Data or Wifi Or Bluetooth so i i downgraded my phone to 2.2.2 back to the original firmware it had but when i was installing it my phone said Successfully Installed and then it turned of but then nothing happened black screen, next day i change it it turn on the touch keys turn on and LED turn red but screen is black
anyone know how to fix this
I am also having this type of problem. I rooted installed CWM and flashed a custom rom now i have the blue screen issue. Can't find the files I need to repair this anywhere. All the treads have broken links.
r0y123 i am following this guide to correct my problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589205 I will let you know if it works out.
EDIT: worked perfect I can now boot and reroot.
thanks for the help
my phone wont turn on ,the LED and touch keys turn on for a while only when i connect it to the pc or wall charger. ohh also my computer recognized my u8800-51 as a HID-Compatible device------------- anyone know why?
i cant access pink/purple screen or blue screen not even recovery.
PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!:crying:
I installed ubuntu
can I use ubuntu to see my phone stuff? sorry i couldnt explain my self
It would be worth a try. I have and increadble and the first time i rooted and and tried to run a rom on it. I got the same kinda thing yor getting. It was a screen driver problem. That might be something to think about. My previous post worked like a charm. Try it your phone is already dead. Just pretend it is at the right screen it wont work if it doesnt find your device.
Nope It did not recognize my phone only when I'm on windows my PC recognize it as a HID-Compatible device but when I go to my Device Manager and uninstall the driver it recognize it as a ""Quantomm something something MSM"" but then windows installs it again and I'm trying to install as something else, ANYONE GOT ANY TIPS?

r0y123 Did you ever get your phone working? I have the same issue.
hey guys is will need some help with this device im not kind of a noobie on this kind of things bcs i been working with several phones, like the veteran xperia10, galaxy ace, motoroi2, etc etc. but never with a tablet
here is what it happens a friend ask me if i can upgrade his sgt-p1010 to a newer version, honeycomb or maybe ics, i´ve read a lot of posts regarding this on how to upgrade it trough odin everything was fine until the reboot of the device, bcs by my mistake i flash a rom of the 7.7" tab and this one is a 7" only now the tab is not turning on, odin is not recognizing it, either samsung kies or the pc. buttons are not responding it wont charge and cant enter to download mode.
I REALLY NEED HELP FROM U GUYS, HOPE U CAN HELP ME
ps. srry for my english :laugh:
This kind of thing can result in the inability to boot which can only be repaired by the use of specific hardware, i.e. this could be a "hard brick". Then again, maybe it can be restored to working order by flashing it again (a "soft brick"). So the very first thing you need to know is, can it get to download mode?
Turn it off, if it's switched on, and charge it for a couple of hours,say four hours. Use the original charger connected to mains. It doesn't matter if it shows anything, or nothing on the screen, let it charge. This is to make sure flashing it won't fail because it doesn't hold a charge.
Now connect it to the PC with the original USB cable. Then after making sure it's switched off, switch it on by pressing the On/Off button, while simultaneously the Volume UP switch. Press them both at the same time, and keep them pressed! If you're lucky you'll get the yellow graphic with the download text. A phone symbol, an !, and a PC symbol is fine too. Even if it doesn't show anything, you may be in download mode, so install the right drivers, and hopefully Odin or Heimdall will recognise is, and will allow you to flash the right ROM.
well i already let it charge for all night long and nothing happens after i perfomed the flashing the screen was totally in black but it doesnt shoes anything i mean the tab was turned on, then apparently batterie dies and after that is not charging. already tried with the heimdall thing but it says that device is not connected.
I think that this is going to be a HARD BRICK
so do u thhink there is another way to solve it?????
or it will be necessary the JTAG stuff???? bcs i dont want to try that it seems that is very difficult to me bcs i dont know nothing about hardware jejejeje
You have installed the Heimdall driver? It's called zadig.exe. Then you have to go to download mode and connect the Tab to the PC with the USB cable. Then Heimdall hopefully will detect the Tab.
If there's no way software will revive the Tab, it's hard bricked and will need hardware to get it working again. There's this guy mobiletechvideos.com who will repair any kind of brick. Basically he uses the JTAG on the board of the Tab and a special box to flash the right ROM to the Tab, even when it's dead. Some here have tried the service, and they say he's quite reliable. Another way is to modify your Tab with Adam Outler's Unbrickable Mod. It's brilliant, you can't soft brick your Tab after that, but it involves soldering very small components on the board of the Tab. The mobiletechvideos guy can do it for you I believe.
Well, I guess you just got a hardbrick .
The only way to fix this problem is go to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER.

I too have a focus that is stuck in a loop at the Samsung logo. I bought it like that thinking I might be able to resurrect it as another toy. I have had lots of experience with Samsung, HTC and Sony droid phones, this would be the first WP.
It is a I917R on Rogers, there is no hardware revision under battery. I am assuming it is V1.3 as I have only seen software for the that version posted. I do not know how the phone got to its present state. They just said it happened during normal use?
I can get to both download mode and factory reset. I have flashed the stock rogers files without errors, but I never get the screen connecting to pc. The phone just restarts after successfully flashing, only to reboot continuously. I have been able to install MAGLDR and flashed every v1.3 ROM i could download. All without errors, just the same outcome they all just keep displaying Samung logo and then reboot. Only thing I noticed is that when I flash MAGLDR and custom ROMs it takes the phone longer to reboot.
I never get the connect to pc if I hold camera and power, nor do I ever get that screen when I flash a ROM.
Not sure if situation is similar... I am puzzled?
Your situation is very similar with other folks' here, unfortunately. It's not clear what causes it and there's no solution as of yet. For some, re-flashing worked. For others, a new battery. Most are stuck on loop...
When you connect the phone to USB when in download mode, what do you get?
When I boot to download mode I can flash Rom with WP7. I get to the yellow triangle download mode and flashes ok, no errors. Just noticed that it never goes to connect to pc mode.
Same with when I format, no connect to pc mode.
Nothing I try seems to help.

I see. What messages do you get when you connect the phone to the PC via USB, in either mode?
No messages, just shows up as Samsung USB composite device, Samsung mobile modem and Samsung mobile modem diagnostic serial port in download mode.
In magldr it shows up add Microsoft USB sync.
The only thing I forgot to mention was that when I flash with WP7 it finished without error in 90 seconds, but on the phone it says it will take 10 minutes.
Not sure what more I can add...
You could try different downloaders. Please see this thread for 7.41 downloader, maybe that helps?
Tried both, same outcome... No errors, just keeps rebooting... No Connect to PC message.
Im having the same problem. And i can see many other people who are having the same issue also. So i think its time to dump those phones, not worth a penny. The one i have in here was actually working, i followed all the directions in order to flash it. And still the phone got stuck into that bootloop. Its ridiculous from what i can see. I think ive read once you put that SDmini in it the phone will use it for the OS. But the one i had was working actually without it, i could turn it off as many times as i wanted and nothing happened. But if i tried a factory reset data would stay and diagnosis mode wasnt working. So i decided to flash it. Big, huge mistake! Hope you have better luck than i did. Because im dumping this one....
Same problem here, ive checked a couple of threads and no solution so far
Hey guys. I tried rooting my LG G4c but after rebootingen it seems that my phone is stuck in a loop, and i can't fix it.
What happens when i turn the phone on:
1. LG logo turn up
2. The following message appears:
[670] --------------------------------------
[670]
[670] Boot verification fail!!
[670] - cause : MISMATCH_SIG_LEN
[670]
[670] --------------------------------------
3. Phone reboots
Using the power button + volume down does NOT work anymore to start recovery mode (although starting the IMEI display still works).
I tried using LG UP to install the original firmware via USB but the device does not show up in the list (probably because the phone keeps rebooting itself). Some website also said to connect the phone with the pc, turn LG UP on, then put out the battery and put it back in to make it work, but that also didn't work.
Anyone know what i can try next? What method can i use to reinstall the firmware? And if it's not possible, does it cost much to repair and who should i ask?
Edit: It seems i can start "Factory data reset" but when this proces starts the phone restarts and continues the loop with the error message.
I also tried connecting the device with LG UP while the phone is stalled on the IMEI screen and the Factory data reset screen. This way the phone does note restart itself and it might appear in the device list of LG UP. But too bad it still didn't work.
I don't know if i'm reaching anyone who can help me, but even a answer from anyone saying that the problem is hard to deal with would already be very relieving I really can't find anything related to this problem on the internet and i'm noobish myself. I'm probably gonna visit a some phone shop down town in the next days because i really don't know what to do.

I had this problem too. I send it to LG and said the phone was unplugged during update process. They flashed it and I gave it to my mom. I have an S4 yet. Much better performance and rom support.
download mode
