hey guys, you probably know me im not a noob but i honestly did the most stupid thing ever... i was having problems with my radio image, it was showing as unknown under settings/about phone so i had no signal at all. I went to fastboot and erased radio then flashed it again, rebooted and got the same... theen i thought it was spl related, so i went to fastboot again erased everything (fastboot erase system -w) then erased hboot (yeah i know im an idiot) and then erased/flashed radio (here comes the good part, laugh if you want) when it was done flashing radio I F*CKING TURNED THE PHONE OFF so now im bricked... i have no spl or recovery or fastboot or rom or anything... maybe radio xD.... and im sooo upsad, you have no idea guys... so i think thats it for me and android since i dont have money to buy a new phone right now. just keep the forum up, this is by far the best forum there is, the best devs, great comunnity and awesome support from everybody. maybe ill be steping by to see if i can help anyone, maybe they wont take my advice since i bricked my s**t but thats up to you n_n... im gonna go cry now peace..
Wow. Seen u on here a few times before. Familiar with the name. That sucks bro. Sorry. I won't laugh. What a shame

im just saying goodbye and thank you to the forum and everyone that i helped and helped me, people that are not rude for no reason... and just telling what happened... thats it. take care man, and respect other people.
ADrianK...... dont be an arse. "Clogging up" the dev section but you took the time to troll?
@Op, do some research you just might be able to find a way to unbrick it... someone has to know how i mean the hardware isnt made with these systems on them, or are they installed via magic wand? Cant hurt to try what can you do.... brick it again?

there is a way, is called JTAG but I dont feel like buying that adapter to go ahead and dissasemble the g1. I could end up with a bricked phone in pieces, $20 down and a useless JTAG adapter. I think im giving up if there not a way to do it with the usb cable or the sdcard via fastboot or adb or something, meaning ill wait till christmas using my old sony ericsson w610 for a few months... but thanks for the advice man.

This is really sad. I bricked my phone ones too. i had death spl and new radio and happen to flash 1.5 cupcake rom with old radio and got bricked. I was lucky enough though coz i had a friend who totally smashed the display of his phone and was not willing to fix that. I got his phone dissasembled it, got the motherboard from his phone and hooked to mine. And its working good now.

thanks for the comments guys, but sadly this is the end for my g1. right now im looking around on ebay for a cheap but newer phone, maybe i can find something that fits my budget.... R.I.P my beloved g1...
maybe some moderator can close this thread
As long as the RADIO is there, it is still salvageable. JTAG hardware can be acquired for about $2.

Yeah you should try JTAG rather than just letting it be since you've done so much and this is just 1 step further. Lol or you can wait for me to sell mine when I get my hands on G2

Sorry about your phone... edit: I was going to ask what you intended to do after flashing the radio, but I thought about it a little harder.
You might be able to sell the phone as a JTAG project.

thanks man but i dont think i would buy another g1.... and yes i did a lot to it, it a super bigass 2200 mAh battery, new battery cover of course, class 4 and class 6 sdcards.... i hava two because i was using one with a sense rom as nandroid and the class 4 was my daily one with whatever rom i flashed... screen protector, new charger, new usb cable... man.. but the only lost will be the battery cuase i can use the charger the usb and the memory cards in another phone n_n right now im thinking about getting a mytouch slide, i found a good price on ebay. If i get it ill let you know and maybe in the future if i get all sentimental about my g1 ill try to fix it
Hi
I found a tool that helped me to unbrick my phone without buying the usb jig since you dont need it as long as you see it boots
its a very easy way, if your phone doesnt go to recovery or download mood using the 3 button method
download this file http://www.multiupload.com/AGK2BBUDGQ
once you download abtool
extract it and put it to your C drive , so it look like c:/abdtool
connect your vibrant via usb to your computer even if it stuck at samsung screen
choose which you want, the recovery or download mood, and click on either recovery.bat or download.bat
and it will take you to it
hope that helped
Regards,
Sami
*LOL* what to say...
You do understand that you only need the jig if you phone wont turn on at all and display NO screen, virbant or otherwise, right?
LOL QUE?
You guys are funny
well i am not pro like you, i had a problem and i managed to fix it without the JIG
so i wanted to share to help people, not to show off
have a good one

You also managed to fix it without a wrench.
You fixed it without a spoon.
You fixed it without a power drill, a cucumber or an orgasm.

Wrong. If your phone is hardware locked, and you are stuck at the Vibrant screen, you NEED the JIG. Don't berate someone for trying to help, when you yourself don't know what you are talking about.

because before i found this method, there was no other way for anything to let the phone respond unless you buy the jig or you made one yourself
i ordered one but i couldnt wait it to arrive since i was running with no phone until i came across this method, and though to share it
It's alright I didnt care about clowns as long as it will help someone out there like it did help me

My phone i guess is a newer version, wont let me go to download mode while holding both up and down then connect it the usb from computer to the phone
so this was the only method that worked, other than using a Jig
you can also use this guide for a true brick (No Jig needed. I know it works it is how I brought mine back to life.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
you could also use the Android SDK which has the adb tools which will allow you to reboot into recovery
you can also use this guide (even though you don't need all of it)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817186
hmmm might write my own guide

maybe tomorrow... never lose hope!

Human always smarter than machine. Samsung got a disadvantage which is included built in recovery. He can just simply boot in and factory reset everything. Or just remove all accounts that in your s4. Let's pray for the stealer is stupid.

You will be lucky if the thief has not factory reset the phone. Especially if you set pin to unlock, he will surely factory reset the phone.

if it was him then hes more stupid than my dog, that loves to bang his head in windows and chairs.

Yes I this there is a notification telling that device "is found" ... but you can't prevent anybody from flashing a new firmware.
On your box there should be an IMEI number (or on your receipt) and IMEI is a bit more difficult to change so maybe you have a chance to trace it in some other way.
What about plan b from the play store?

You can set sim change alerts in the standard s4 settings aswell. I only found out the other day and it can be set to text a friend or family member.
Hope you manage yo yrack and get the phone back, too many low lifes in the world needing to steal someone elses hard earned money/phone etc. Is there no way of having the imei blacklisted? Keep that as a last resort if it can be done, as far as I know soon as its blacklisted you wont be able to track it at all

You can have the imei blacklisted so the phone will essentially be useless. You arent getting it back anyway. Might as wll keep the thief from having it.

first of all, he stole it from my bag.
second of all, if he flashes a new firmware or disconnect from my samsung account ( or even a factory reset )
can i know it? or it will just stay offline for ever?

If he just reset (factory reset), wipe data or flash a new firmware, IMEI may survive.
So IMEI tracking is your last chance.
I don't know this company http://www.trackimei.com/ but maybe worth a try?
Some other info HERE ... and HERE
BTW I could imagine that he sell it to some innocent person ... knowing it's a bit to hot to keep for him self
Hello Guys Need your help

In Advance thank you all for the Help

As far as I know there isn't anything you really need to check. I'd recommend unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom recovery/rooting straight away though because that saves you the trouble of losing your data should you decide to do it later.

Make a few calls, check that the earpiece and mic work fine.
Open a blank webpage, it'll show you if you have a yellow tint. (Which should go away in a week or so)
Run all your usual apps, see that the screen, camera, speaker etc. are all working fine.
Basically should be it.....

lol not sure if you're serious, but i wasn't. i'm sure your phone is fine.
I also came across this video similar to the one you found.
If the codes and everything else shows up and the test work. It's real
If it's on the Internet it must be real...right? LOL.
A quick Google search will show a few legitimate sources for the dialer codes. Make sure you do your homework before you believe what you see. Oh, and be careful, some of the dialer codes will reset your phone if you use them.
The dialer codes are disabled on Verizon phones. Makes me mad. I tried to get them to work and didn't know what I was doing wrong till I read Verizon has them disabled.
