Repair your phone(PCC or SEUS)

The same thing happened to me. I tried to enable JIT and now the reboot keeps looping. I can't access xRecovery, and when I try to repair the system PC Companion says that no software available for my phone yet. (I don't really understand why it says yet.)
I'm a noob and I'm now panicking.
What should I do?

i tried repairing with SEUS but my phone just wont connect whenever it asks me to press the back button T_T

I managed to get back the 1.6 system to my phone with the flasher by bin4ry. It has started repairing at first.
Now I'm relieved.

Or you can try flashing with propc's 2.1 ROM as uploaded here

I had the same problem twice!
I used pccompanion, took off battery because it was saying to activate usb, but as i couldnt do nothing coz i was stuck at SE logo that worked. And then connected usb to pc. After that went to support zone in pccompanion and choosed phone repair..
It will erase all your data from the phone, (not sd) tought.

Just Install SE Update Service and follow the steps. It will say that you allready have newest softeare but you just click install. wait for installation to finish.
unplug the phone and power the phone.
after 2 min, phone working.

same thing happened to me after i installed JiT
i do not know why and therefore i can not have Jit

i think i might know the answer
does jit fail on phones with a lot of sotftware installed?
on a fresh phone after a flash or a restore i think it always works

[Q] Get This Phone Stock Again?

Hi there, I got this phone a couple weeks back and am loving it, however, I just rooted my phone, and changed the boot animation, messed around with a couple of other settings, and went to try and get them back to normal, and came to the slow realisation that I should have backed stuff up beforehand...
Now, I wondered if you guys could tell me how to get this phone back to how it came out of the box (unrooted, stock bootscreen, no apps installed etc.)
I rooted it without unlocking the bootloader using the "Gingerbreak" apk.
I'm pretty new to android, so please, please use small words?
Thanks
EDIT: I used "Root Tools" to change the boot animation

Does this require unlocked bootloader?
And I tried factory reset, didnt give me back programs, and SEUS was no use at all, just told me I had the latest software and to go away :/
I believe SEUS have the option to reinstall.
Anyways. Flashtool should work on locked device. Only perhaps possible issue reported is with Hongkong models.

Well the flash tools worked a treat, everything is stock, and I had a locked bootloader. thanks a lot for your help!

Ive flashed the stock ROM does this mean I have to reinstall xrecovery?
Also will I have to re-root as I dont see superuser icon now?
And do you know what caused my problem before?
And to opexblue I dont think so as I was using wifi

if you flashed SE stock rom then you will need to root and reinstall xrecovery.

Bricked Vibrant

Sorry in advance if im posting this in the wrong thread or if this has been posted before....
I have a Vibrant and i was updating using samsung kies. I never rooted my phone or did and customize things to it. i was going through the updating process when samsung kies said that the update failed and to disconncet my phone. so i disconnected my phone (the screen said download mode and do not turn off target). now when i try to turn my phone on i get a black screen with a phone triangle and computer logo. it will not go in to recovery. cau u please help... thanks
hopefully there is a way to fix this without using odin
odin and download mode there is a thread in development about in the bible i think about unbricking a vibrant, its very hard to brick a vibrant completely, I have done so before, but you can recover via odin.
Your phone is not fully bricked. and your better off than me half the time
How were you trying to boot into recovery if you've never rooted or customized? Your phone is not completely bricked if its turning on so I'm sure there's a fix.

You can boot into recovery without being rooted... i did it before when i wanted to do a hard reset.. plus the tmobile rep wanted me to try and boot into recovery to do a hard reset and clear all user data.

remove the battery for five minutes, then reinsert it. You can now go back to the normal download mode. ANd I think you can even boot up normally. The former scenario happened to me so I am quite sure of that.
THANKS!!!!
big thanks to everyone i got my phone up and running again. i used odin (which was tricky) and followed the steps i saw in a youtube video. right before i was about to give up i called tmobile and ordered a replacement phone ....lol...tried one more time and it worked im SOOOO HAPPY this is a great community of people , couldnt have done it without u guys THANKS AGAIN!
I always brick my baby, and Odin is always there to save me

did you wipe the system?
boot into fastboot, and flash stock image.
Yes that will help... What I've learned from my previous phone, i.e. Sony Ericsson Walkman W8 is never wipe data/ factory reset your phone until you have a ROM ready for it...!! I had the same issue with it but I could pull out the memory card and put a custom ROM into it... So then I flashed the ROM.. And had no problem booting! So... I downloaded a ROM for my nexus 4 before rooting it!!
Just shared my experience... Someone might benefit from it!

Doing a factory reset doesn't affect the ROM.
Anyway, flash the factory system image and you'll be good.

I'll certainly flash the stock image then. But whats the best way to do it? Is there any tutorial you recommend? Im a total noob with this device

First of all dont panic! Nexus its not easy to brick.
Just concentrate and read carefully.
Check this tool here for easy rooting /flashing etc and follow all instructions.

Well it happended with my vwalkman. And also with my brother's xperia ion while rooting. I put CWM on it. And by mistake after the factory reset I rebooted the system and it got stuck on the sony logo... Even the recovery was gone... I had to fix it by pushing a custom kernel with a recovery in it.. Also it happened with my friend's htc explorer... It was stuck on the htc logo.. Cz he wiped the system after flashing the supersu file and then rebooted.. But he still had the recovery..! But that was fixed by simply inhaling a ROM!! I never posted this anywhere as I couldnt find any similar threads...
