[Bricked] Did the most stupid thing ever....

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

Take it to an outlet for whatever the network it is connected to. It will say at top right of lock screen and on the sim of course.

It has no sim card so i couldnt tell which network it is on. It is unlocked because its open to any sim. Iv tried different sims and they show the provider in the corner

just root the phone/update firmware on it, which should allow you to factory reset it.

factory reset, through recovery will get rid of the lock pattern.
edit: I believe you don't need to flash anything. Power on device holding the Volume Up + Home + Power button

Thanks guys ill give it a try

Not so sure about that. If it is reported lost or stolen then the IMEI will be blocked and all that it will be useful for is a MP3 player. Hence my advice to go to a network shop. Any one will help and check the phone is not blocked.

you're right. that's why this is the right place, because of advices like yours

I feel sorry for the owner that lost the phone, and did not report the IMEI as being lost or stolen...
that'll be my very 2nd phone call if i lose my phone
the 1st phone call will be used to located the lost phone

Flash a new ROM But you can give it a factory reset (hold VOL UP + HOME + POWER buttons for a few seconds)

I would find a SGS too

it's weird how many people "Find" SGS lately...
Honestly, on an etiquette POV, I wouldn't help anyone who "found" an SGS to unlock it... But rather help him find the owner.

thats what i was thinking...glad its not mine

I have spent nearly three weeks trying to find the owner. i handed it in to the police station but got it back two weeks later because it didnt get claimed. Which you would know if you read the earlier posts in the thread. If i lost my phone i would check the police to see if it had been handed in like most ppl who are bothered bout there phone. What does that tell you?

i remeber that if i could enter the iphone imei into an website it would tell me what network is he connected to.
my sim is closed and i bought it contract free so its unlocked.
i live in israel and the police is not so helpful...
can i do something? please i need this help.

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.

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

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.

BTW I could imagine that he sell it to some innocent person ... knowing it's a bit to hot to keep for him self

If so, Then you would have just said so in your opening post, instead of being so obtuse. Maybe in the future, be more specific, and less dodgy and ppl wouldnt jump to more than likely correct assumptions.

As previously said, why the vagueness in the opening post then? Well done on joining the military, but its got zip all to do with anything.
In the future, be clear as to which questions if any you are asking, why the deliberate vagueness? Of course it could be messing about with the bootloader, etc. But with the deliberate vagueness, I somehow doubt it.
Feel free to carry .
And if you could comprehend, I merely iterated that changing imei was illegal. You attacked me for no reason other than guilt.

As previously said, why the vagueness in the opening post then? Well done on joining the military, but its got zip all to do with anything.

Feel free to carry on, but whining like a spoilt kid who's been found out doesn't help your case.

all right man you made me laugh.. yes the vagueness is there for a reason.. am i going to tell why.. nope.. will i when im done trying what im trying sure..
but ill give you this.. I have gone from 4.3 to 4.4 and back down ..bricked and recovered via a pin short on the board.. im not new but i am rusty.. but the fundamentals stay the same..
Its taxing trying to find out info on this new security when theres no info to be had.. or when the info is there people keeping it to them selfs because there making a buck on it..
Now.. I will say this.. the process for the note 3 is new to me.. and 85% of what ive done has been on accident and im recreating what i did..
So what do i need to mess with locked nv items for .. well any number of reasons.. and i guess thats the reason for the vagueness, I just want to see what i see and what i can do.. what i can hook onto and what i can exploit..

Reading that, ok. You may be better off asking someone like ChainFire who knows the ins and outs of the bootloader? Perhaps the kernel devs in original development?
This Note 3 sure is an awkward beast.

I would like to change the imei of his phone for him although who brought up changing the imei in the first place? Whoever says such things MUST be the guilty party ! (as for me I am just sitting on the edge of my seat to do it so let me change it because as everybody alway knows I am now third party so if the baddies can't see you and you can't see them then maybe they are not their)
