help ~my phone is dead?

when i flash a rom with odin..a min later.i saw the odin ProgressBar still not move ,so i pulled out the usb and the battery.then put the battery in the phone again,and wanted to go into the download mode to flash the rom again..but when i wanted to power on the phone.,my phone can't power on any more..try many times..it's still dead ..do anyone know what's the problem with my phone?

Take the battery out and press the download mode (three buttons) and insert the battery. This worked for me and I got the download mode back this way. Used a flat table to push the bettery in.
Good luck.

Do you get anything on screen at all or is it just black?
Try leaving the battery out of the phone for over an hour then putting it back in and see if you can go into download mode, this worked for me after I semi-bricked my phone before Christmas. Otherwise you may be able to get it into download mode with a USB jig if you are lucky

which rom were you flashing? did it contain sbl.bin and boot.bin? if they were contained, the luck is lower than the others. if it didnt contain them, it is like 99% you will rescue your phone by download mode.

Possible brick ... Help

Is there any chance to recover it from a brick? ... and if so, wht can i do guys.

Did you use KDZ updater? If it fails on KDZ updater, you're phone will be possibily permanently bricked. Try putting your phone in download mode. Attach the phone to your computer and run it while turning on.

First i was using this aplication to instal 2.3.5, and it went to Download Mode, then it got suck there and then i took the battery out, it turned off, once again i tried with the KDZ Updater and it went into download mode, then i got this error message and it wudnt reboot so i took the battery again out, when it tried to turn it on it wudnt turn on ... im letting it without battery for a few so check again D:

It's bricked
It's happened to me too

Try booting into either Download (Volume down + power) or Fastboot (Camera + Power) -- Instead of pressing the power button you can plugin the USB cable.
If neither of these work, and your PC is unable to find the device... then yer, sadly it's bricked and needs to be returned to LG Service Center.

[HELP!] SGY GT-S5360 Fails to start

I'm really sorry if I asked this question again if it may have been asked earlier, but i really need to get answers ASAP because I could not use the internet all of the time.
Days after I rooted my SGY GT-S5360, it would no longer start and it would not charge either(both by charger method and PC method of charging) . I also tried going to Recovery Mode but then again it does not. So I tried charging my battery using a universal charger for a short while. After doing so, I placed again my battery to my device and tried turning it on. It would turn on but only until the "Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S5360" logo and then it would turn off again. I tried taking the battery out and then putting it in again, but the same scenario happens.
I am sure that I am not on a BOOTLOOP issue because it shows no symptoms of it. And I would not want to believe that I am Hard Bricked because my device still boots only until the "Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S5360" logo. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM
By the way, I have not flashed any ROMs or Tweaks or Updates on my device and I am still on my Stock ROM.]

[Q] Note 3 BRICKED even after Stock flash

So Im going to start from the beginning. I have a Verizon Note 3 MJE, rooted with VROOT, cool now Im rooted.
Now i wanted a Custom Rom, So i downloaded Safestrap 3.64 and the Hyperdrive Rom. All good..
Go into the slots of Safestrap recovery create the partition, install HyperDrive and hit Reboot...
Phone reboots but the screen stays blank.. Go do my research and says wait 5-10 minutes after install for w.e reason..
20 minutes go by... go back into safestrap re do process... nothing again.. decided to go back to stock download all Safestraps and one by one start to install and uninstall trying to verify that i have installed the correct Safestrap for installing the Rom... (i know don't tell me Im an idiot but it made sense last night) nothing that i did work... so went back to stock JB 4.3 so now Im rooted as i began...
go into the Safestrap app and uninstall from recovery this one was Safestrap 3.71.. phone is working fine..
So I have no Safestrap im good... set my phone down to clean my car, the phone Wont turn on..
NOOOOOOOO, IDK for the life of me What happened... So i try every button possible, nothing! Recovery Nothing!!!
I plug it to charge it shows the pre charging battery then shuts and repeats...
figured let me try holding Down-Menu-Power while is doing that ... i get into Download mode, Not gonna lie i cried a little lol
Flashed the Stock Firmware 4.3 with the VZW note 3 32g PIT file... finishes ... Resets now Stuck on BOOTLOOP with the Custom Note 3 Splash screen and on top says Entering Recovery but never does... I Have Tried almost everything but hit it with a BAT!!! Can someone please help me...
and YES i took the battery out and put it back in

1. pull sd card
2. hold vol down, home, power to enter "download mode"
3. hit cancel and it should fire up

The phone will only work if is plugged in to A\C OR computer usb..
I plug it in, the loading battery will pop up, turn off and then repeat.. the whole process takes about 3-4 secs..if unplugged wont do anything at all, when plugged into the computer it lets me access download mode but not recovery..

I would try flashing the stock unrooted mje file by itself.
If you are in same boat then I would flash the pit file by itself. AFTER
All of which is done in odin.

To be honest...that sounds like a dead battery. You know someone else who has a note 3 you can test by trying their battery?

[SOLVED!]Need help in unbricking my phone

Hello guys,
I am in a big trouble!!
I have a galaxy s4 i9500. I installed prism barebone by aliraqi and left it for chanrging and after sometime when I looked into my phone it was looping at the intro screen (i.e. the screen which shows galaxy s4 i9500 in white on a black background).
I cant even go to recovery or download mode.
When I connect my phone to charger it shows the battery logo with a bolt in it and it gets really hot and it doesnt show any charge in the battery.
Please help me ASAP.
EDIT : It was a problem with the power button.

please try this .. daring to reply you .. remove the back cover .. remove battery .. remove sim card .. remove memory card .. keep the phone in open for 40 mins ..
u can buy a universal charger to charge the battery.. then reinsert everything back.. then try to check if you are able to go to download or recovery mode .. u can also try to go to safe mode and check if you are able to charge ..

Tried it but when i try to boot into download mode, in the interface which appears before the download mode when I press volume up, nothing happens but when I press the down button it reboots and I get a loop.
I even bought a new battery and tried booting but no luck.
EDIT : FIXED!!! IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER BUTTON. THANKS ANYWAYS FOR REPLYING.

Have you tried flash a new bootloader . I guess u can use flashify ..
