Tried to flash this new firmware and bricked the phone:-(
Cant power on the phone .....dead! :-( Any ideas?

Try charging it for a while, then forcing it into download mode and connecting odin and flashing your original firmware back on. Or use a jig to force it into DL mode if that doesn't work, they're only a few quid on ebay.

Any new radio or kernel?

This is for the i9100G as it says in the title. If you flashed it on your i9100 I'm pretty sure you are screwed.

Ye that's exactly what happened :-( I didn't read carefully!!! I order the USB dongle ASAP. USB dongle will still get me back into download mode wont it?

Not sure, but it's worth a try.

Yes, I knew this would happen when I saw the thread open up today. The OP should edit the title for noobs so they won't flash this and brick their phone.
This is NOT a ROM for the International or non-G version, and it WILL brick your device. You'll need the service center (or jtag) to get it back if you flash this.

It wont you have briccked your phone, You will need to flash a new Kernal 1st, and even the Jig wont be able to read, as the drivers wont load. this needs deleteing before anyone else does the same thing, Guys!

No, dumb ass morons just need to read the thread title better...

well after reading countless threads I have not yet gotten an answer or been pointed in the right direction. I rooted my phone recently, I tried to install CWM, then flashed another kernel as i was instructed to, now, Im stuck on the boot screen and cant get anywhere, i can although get into the downloading part of the phone, Ive been trying to locate the original stock kernel with no success. Please help before I go nuts!!

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 hard brick

Hi Guys,
I havent used this site in years but recently I bought a Galaxy S4 outright from JBHIFI.
Before you guys give me alot of crap, I have a very bad feeling that I may have hard bricked it.
It doesnt turn on anymore, not even in recovery or download mode. I am very new to android as I was using an iPhone before and couldn't resist attempting to root my phone (stock program were killing my battery)
I hadn't even had the chance to flash a custom rom on there as far as i know i just grated root access.
Funny thing is it was doing the same thing the other day. But randomly it decided to charge and turn on. Now it is definitely not charging or turning on and i have no idea what to do... it just sucks cause i havent ever this phone for a month and its already useless! :crying:
I was using it for about a week after i rooted and now im just stuck with a brick.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.

Send back t store and thel t workers that just whont turn on.Dhont thel that is rooted or somthing

yeah thats what im planning to do its about exactly a month since i had it today... i just didnt want to mention anything cause i know you guys and moderaters dont condone that kind of behaviour! thanks though, im pretty much screwed arent i? ill be heading into jbhifi on my lunch break will go ahead with that plan haha.
ill tell you guys how it goes.

Have you tried a battery pull?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

sorry... is that just taking the battery out? LOL if so, yes ive tried it quite a few times.
at one stage it was turning on but only loading the splash screen... so i pulled the battery out. even if i tried to start it in recovery mode, it would only load the blue text at the top of the screen and then freeze.
i have a mate who also got an s4 so i was going to meet up with them and see if i could use their battery because it seems the phone has even lost its capability to charge.

that seems very useful, but to use it i would have to be in download mode atleast right? problem is i cant even turn on phone to get into download mode
didnt go jbhifi today had to fix my rims instead LOL, trying other solutions and finding a spare battery to see if its just that... maybe then it will beable to atleast boot in download mode

No, you don't have to be in download mode. Install right driver, connect your phone to pc and run the program. Then it will be in download mode, so flash firmware with pit file
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

well so far... i tried this at work and no luck, so i went home and tried it there... still no luck.
you mentioned i need to install the right driver? is that the QHSUSB drivers? (where can i find them and are they specific for the S4) anyway when i plug my phone into the computer there is no indication that it is being detected at all.
just hoping to try out more suggested solutions before i attempt to take it back into the store and have em tell me that my warranty is cooked

Hi just an update.
Took my phone to samsung because it was just completely screwed. They replaced the motherboard and camera but didnt find out that my phone was rooted which was good.
Thanks for your help everyone
*edit*
After they said they replaced my camera i am now getting the "camera app failed" message, wheres theres a black screen and the app doesnt work... ive had it with this phone now... going to walk into samsung and lose my ****.

Don't bash the phone for nothing ...
Somehow I doubt that they didn't test the camera after replacing it.
Next time, take it easy, and what ever you do, read carefully the instructions.

My galaxy S4 is "hard bricked" as well after trying to flash OMEGA ROM onto the device. My guess is that somebody mislabeled the ROM and it was intended for the octal-core processors and not the US quad-core ones.
Does anyone have a link for the qualcomm drivers that are needed? I'm at a loss currently in regards of which direction to take.
Thanks in advance,

i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)
funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.
as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

He probably means this: http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable
This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.
Jtag could probably revive it though.
Anyway, sent mine for repairs with
custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.

First step is take off battery cover, look for letter/number combinations on the plastic parts of the phone, I think mine is on the bottom right, figure out which variant you have.

Actions speak louder than words, click on my 'thanks' button if you mean it, LOL, JK, ok great, we got a WINNER!!! Now we know which variant you have. OK, looks like you have the x model, from googling it's from Indonesia or something and it's known as a live demo model like you stated. Find out what fw 9505x uses, try sammobile.com or even here, DL it and flash via odin, that would be my next step, I think, I'm still pretty new to this.

Those demo models were not even made for use.. Their firmware has limitations for what I know..

As you can see, odin stops at flashing modem... Demo units don't have modem hardware, so you need firmware without modem, or just download a pre rooted firmware, rename it by removing .md5 extension, so you'll have i9505XXXX.tar, open it with 7-zip, delete NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin and flash it... Or download a 3/4 part firmware and flash it without modem file. I've flashed lots of i9300x and i9505x like this...

I tried KIES will not connect (stuck at connecting...), tried on two different comps and reinstalled usb drivers as well.

I think I may have found a fix, I have the Canadian Rogers version of the s4, they call it the SGH-1337M which is pretty much like a i9505...
reason Odin wouldn't flash is I was trying to use random i9505 firmware. I found a link to a official Rogers 4.2.2 firmware hopefully this works

[Q] Help! Screen went Black after TWRP reboot

Help! I tried to upgrade to lollipop 5.1 based on a youtube (no links allowed) video through TWRP. After the "Success!" message it prompt me to to press NO or OK, so I touched OK exactly like it said in the video. After this, my screen turned black and it wouldn't boot again. I tried everything! Putting the battery out and in place again, pressing vol. up, start and menu button. Nothing. Vol. down, start and menu, still nothing. I tried to do the same three buttons thing with my phone plugged in and the ODIN program running on my PC. A Glorious Nothing! Keep in mind that my battery was about 50% charged at the time. So, what did I miss?
Please help me! Is my Cellphone bricked for good?

May be that rom wasn't compatible with neo. I think you have bricked your mobile. Search on google or xda forum "how to un brick s3 neo". And after neo should mention your model number.

Well, I'm pretty sure I used the right rom for my i9301 model. I checked the descriptions carefully. I googled for an answer and it says that I need to have specific tools or a micro usb with less pins or an island in Aigaion Pelagos. I don't know... It's way too difficult for me. I guess that's what you end up with, if you play with fire. Another brick in the wall... But, thank you anyway! Any other suggestions are welcome. I just can't afford a new mobile (How does an old T310 Sony Ericsson sound? Perfect battery life for starters!).

Thanks, but go where? I can't see any links. Maybe you are referring to the the method where you use odin and the original firmware to roll back to the original state? I tried it but with no luck.
The truth is I am not exactly sure if I use the right files! I have the i9301 version that originally came with 4.4.2 kitkat installed. I use Vodafon Gr as a provider (but the phone is from Romania). So, I used this file
I9300IXXUAND1 firmware version for Galaxy S3 Neo (GT-I9300I) from region LYS. Was it the right one? I found this method from forum.gsmhosting and said it was about Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo GT-I9300I Dead Boot Repair..
I'm on the black here...:cyclops:

Thanks, but go where? I can't see any links. Maybe you are referring to the the method where you use odin and the original firmware to roll back to the original state? I tried it but with no luck.

Thanks! I 'll check it out as long as I get a new SD card (16 GB Class 10, probably next week) and I 'll let you know.
I 'm not a robot:laugh:

NO for me
Sooo, I tried every step on the guide, realllly carefully, but NO for me.
I bought a 16 GB 10 class Transcent SD card, formatted it with Panasonic SD formatter (tried with the windows genuine formatter too), tried both FAT32 and NTFS method. Next, I wrote the debrick (128 MB) image (dnld from the link especially for i9301). So, ejected it, put it in the sd card slot, placed the battery and did the three button trick (down vol, power, menu). Pitch black! Tried it many times with no results. What do I do wrong? Everybody else manages to fix it in the end, but I can't. Maybe the problem with mine is something else! But I explained in the first post how it all started. Now I am lost in space!
Is my phone Hard Bricked? Fully Dead? Maybe the guide you posted was for Soft Bricked phones. What did the pal meant to say with this?
"But first please make sure that its Hard Barick (fully dead mean not turning on or nothing works except when u connect to pc it will show qualcomm)"

That means mobile is just dead. No LCD light no charging and no life at all just like yours. I think your mobile is totally dead dude. Otherwise it should be alive.

Guess what! It worked in the morning! So, the mobile needs a nice sleep too! So, everything is okay now. Though, my initial purpose was to install Lollipop 5.1.1 (after rooting, of course) and I was bricked in the middle of the operation.
Now, given that I 'm an insistent, dumb headed POI, I would like to try again, the right way. I would use the same guide, but I don't know what went wrong in the first place. I guess, I 'd have to repeat the same procedure again, if something went wrong but, I don't know... I know that I 'd have probably tired you but, could you propose a method to do so?
Lastly, I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for your patience and your guidance through these days. You 've been truly helpful! :good:

Oh, are you saying that your mobile is alive now? And please don't mention that "help" thing. We are here to help each other. Once i was a new also and i learned so many things here. So, i am just sharing what i have gained from here.
Some times it happens, a little mistake could lead you to a big sorrow. If your mobile is alive now , i am happy for you. And if it is not then i am suggesting you to take it to any repairing shop. May be they can do something about it. And if you still don't get results then keep it with you, it's hardware wouldn't be a waste.
