phone does not work

help, after uploading the latest samsung Axura vibrant, I can not turn on the phone, no button is not working, so I can not do anything, as now, the phone in the trash if it can somehow revive it, I might add that this is not my first flash, I always ended up with everything well, please help

Why dont u try odin and get back to stock and try to flash again?

phone does not respond to any buttons so I can not use the download mode

try buying/building a JIG, im not much of a pro with a JIG, but it'll get you into download mode, idk how it works, but wait for more answers is all i can say

JIG is not working, the phone does not respond

I just had this happen...take everything out of the phone, plug in usb to pc, hold down only the volume buttons, plug in the usb to phone, put in the battery and it should go right into download mode....

That works when phone is soft bricked, this looks like a hard brick

I thought that only developers hard bricked vibrants, I didn't really ever think it could happen while flashing a rom? Was your battery charged at least at 20%? I have axura 2.2.5.7 and it flashed fine when I did it a few weeks ago this makes me not want to update to the newest rom.

anything can happen when you flash anything to our phones.

Thats what I thought too. I just had this happen last night...no power, no buttons, no boot, nothing... DEAD. I tried this this morning and it worked.

I tried everything, no effect, unless the phone in the trash, unless you know another way to fix it, all the other roms work without a problem, the problem was only with Axura

Got my replacement!

Here's a small little "unboxing" I did. Try not to laugh too much at my southern-self I'm not good with a camera, I'm shy ^_^

Hope you got one from a good batch that let's you overclock as high as you want or undervolt. I will be interested to see what differences you have between the two

I can't believe they send a new 16gb sd card with the replacement. I need to replace mine as well, it has cracks on the top corner of the screen.
Edit: do you have to send a 16gb card back in order to not have a penalty?

No you keep your old card battery charger everything only thing they want is the phone you even keep the old battery back

What he said. They say not to send it back. Just the phone.

Ok, so im trying to root using the same method i did last time. but i cant get the drivers to install completely 4/5 install fine but: CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) is stuck on Installing driver software. Adb says the device is attached, but offline. Any suggestions? Usb debugging is enabled.

Didn't you already have the drivers installed?

lemme guess odin? I was pretty bricked once. I took the sd card out. Plugged it to my computer (not wall) and held one for like 30-40 seconds and then pressed power and it magically booted into download mode. Just try that or the other way around. Worked for me. Good luck!

What were you doing with it when it got bricked?

Did u plug into computer while battery is out? Then try going into download mode?

i was odin working on eg22plus, went to odin back to eg22 stock and it just immediately failed after md5 check, and wouldnt come back on... didnt even show to try to write anything.

Do you have a car dock or media dock. I was in a similar predicament once and all of the above failed to bring it back. Then I was on the way to the Sprint store to swap out when I put my Epic in the car dock (force of habit) and it magically booted to the screen with the pictures of the pc and phone. I was able to pull the battery and boot to download mode from there.

Did you push the power button repeatedly when battery was out to drain any leftover juice in the phone or is that just a myth?

Was that to me? I was just suggesting last ditch effort stuff for Chris to try since his phone was bricked. I would even try the pinhole by the camera under the battery cover. Nothing can hurt to try once you have tried all of the other tricks to get your phone back up.

dead Galaxy Note

Hi every one! Everything was ok with my GNote and for months with ics update. yesterday I tried to reboot it because the battery was empty after long time use. I connected the phone to the charger but nothing happens. I waited a few hours but nothing too. It does not pass to download mode and recovery mode too. I tried the battery on the GNote of my brother and it works and its battery does not help to boot up on my GNote. So the problem is on the phone. What is the solution please?
PS: i don't changed anything on the Gnote since Mounths
Thank you

Just a long shot, but is it a faulty battery connection on your device.

have you tried to flash another gb or ics rom?

Im guessing you run on stock ics, you could be superbricked if you deleted a big file from your phone, deleting big files could trigger the eMMC brick command. Just guessing here so i could be wrong.

Wrong.

Seems to be battery connection problem from your tests as it was said before. If your warranty is not void..should go for SAV.

i'll send it to SAV Later. Thanks for all of you

Have you tried charging your battery in your brothers note, and then placing it in yours? If your phone boots, then its a faulty connector issue.

If it was a faulty battery connection, as seems to be a consensus here, than your phone wouldn't boot at all; yet you say that you can reach Download and Recovery mode.
It's something else.

No i cant reach any mode

Bricked my Nexus 4 flashing a wrong ROM. Since i'm in EU and the phone USA probably will not get warrantly either
Now it won't even go to recovery, is there anything i can try?

No download mode, the only thing i could get out of it was a red led

You could try to charge it whole night, and then access the recovery /download mode, or maybe open it and unplug battery terminal and plug it back after few minutes....
If that won't help, I think RMA is the only solution (they should not be able to check it if it wont give anything but black screen)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I don't think RMA covers user mistakes Its hard bricked if you flashed the wrong ROM. You have to send it away for J-Tag. Likely your only solution.

Gonna ask to the local LG store for repairing costs, then i'll value the best option

I erase my n7 boot loader and they fixed it for free should be the same with the n4

Once flashed a sammy N7100 rom on a I9300, the phone was dead as a duck and rooted on top of that. Got it repaired under warranty :angel:
Try turning it in and see what happens, i doubt they will be able to tell the phone has the wrong software and the bootloader is unlocked.Good luck
Thought repairs should be done worldwide but swaps only in the country where you bought it.

The problem is the warrantly is in USA, and the phone is here in Italy.
Did you lost all the personal datas?

I had the same issue. Windows Explorer on my Win 7 computer was not downloading the image properly from Google, and when I tried to install the factory image I got the red led and it was stuck on the "X" screen. After trying several times to get it into download mode, I discovered that I could eventually catch it if I hit the volume down and power buttons at a certain exact time during bootup, at which time I reloaded a non-corrupted factory image and I was up and running.
