okay the first phone was my fault. after doing the root process with moto chopper and loki found on android root site I forgot to read the steps required for the wicked ROM. I jump straight to the ROM install but after finishing the install it ask to reboot. Then it vibrates like it is trying to boot up but I never get any video. I tried the reboot recovery button commands but that no longer worked and neither did the hard reset button commands.
luckily walmart exchange that phone for another so then I go home I root the phone and follow the install option for wicked ROM. then the second phone reboots and I get the same vibrating pulses but hard reset works now except it hangs up on the downloading screen. this morning I return the second phone for the third phone but now I'm too scared to try the ROM again because they are not going to let me get another phone.

I think you did something wrong. Did you also flash an AT&T kernel after flashing the ROM? Did you use a loki-doki or a lokified recovery?
shame on you OP, really.........

So you not only committed fraud by pretending you hadn't broken the phone and voided the warranty yourself, but you also straight-up lied about how long you had had the phone?
On top of that, I'd be willing to bet the phones weren't hard-bricked and were actually recoverable.
That's pretty despicable.

Make sure you have the fascinate drivers.
Pull the battery.
Connect phone via USB to your computer.
Hold volume down button then press power.
That should boot it into download (Odin) mode

It works on my phone. But not on this phone. Is there any other way?
Thanks
Only other way, that I am aware of, is to boot holding the volume down button with the battery in then connect to USB after the downloader launches.
Did your friend possibly install CWM? If so try holding both volume buttons down and going through Clock Work Mod.
Sent from my SCH-I500-Fascinate using XDA App
Also if you can boot using the second method but don't have CWM installed you can possibly add another ROM named update.zip to the root of the sdcard and use the standard recovery launcher.
This information may be innacurate I come more from Palm Pre tweaking, but I believe that's what I read.

I have never seen a Galaxy S phone not be able to get to download mode.. but I think I've only seen one other person dumb enough to flash a Capitvate rom / kernel onto a Fascinate..
That being said, if removing the battery (don't put it back in), plugging in USB and holding volume-down doesn't bring up download mode, you're screwed. The phone obviously needs to be made inoperable before returning. An easy way to do that would be to disconnect the cable to the screen. Alternatively, and much more dangerously, you could microwave if for a few seconds at a time until it dies.

Are you serious?
Inoperable would be a last ditch effort in my opinion. Mistakes happen. These are the kind of mistakes that not only the OP and his friend learn from but also the community as a whole. If we can get him through this we also learn how to help others that make similar mistakes.
Modding / hacking whatever you wish to call it comes down to learning. We learn what works and what doesn't and we try to help others not make those mistakes. I prefer to try everything before nuking a phone that can be recovered.

To be honest, you cant fix it.
You can get it to boot once again if you can ever get it back into DL mode, but the phone wont work again. Not until we get a leak for a complete odin package, and that isnt gonna happen anytime soon.
I posted on my odin thread and pretty much any other thread i have done that you should not flash any other galaxy s device's firmware to the fascinate, they are not interchangeable like that. I hope he has insurance on his phone.

Okay, so I was listening to a YouTube video via Popup Browser BETA. When the song finished, I tried closing the window, but it wouldn't let me interact with the window. Not sure why. I just figured since the app was in beta it was just confused, so I went to the settings->running applications->I force closed the app. But for some reason, the little window still wouldn't go away. So I decided to reboot my device. Bad idea, apparently...
Now whenever I boot up my phone it'll vibrate, display the Google logo for a few seconds, and then... it goes to a blank black screen. Not a clue why. I've tried:
- Leaving it to charge and rebooting
- Leaving it in the blank black screen
- Booting into recovery, then trying to reboot the device from there
- Clearing cache partition
Nothing works. I still can't boot up my phone again.
I'm running Slimbean 4.2.1 (not the latest version). There really isn't anything that might have triggered this. I can still charge my phone (the charging animation still occurs) and I can still go into CWM Recovery. I'd really rather not have to install a new ROM or anything... but if I have to, is there a way to extract the data I have on my phone now while in recovery or something?
Any suggestions?
EDIT: This has been FIXED. Moderators, if you see this, you can close this thread. If anyone else has this problem, try reflashing your current version of your ROM, that's how I fixed mine. I'm not responsible for damage to your device.
Why haven't you tried reflashing your rom without wiping data?

I've not got enough free space on my phone I don't think (it's only 16GB, I got about 2GB free).
Unless I'm mistaken the backup will take more than that, yes? Considering I've got a few games apps that probably equate to about 4GB.

Reflash the same version you were running before this accident, as the newest version requires clean flash. If you want to run the latest version and have your data back, reflash the same version you were running before, then backup your data, wipe phone, flash the latest version and restore your data

Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered but search is down and I am panicking! I have an i-337 ATT Galaxy S4 that was unlocked for Tmobile. I just bought it 2 days ago and tonight I rooted it via motochopper and installed TWRP.
I downloaded Liquidsmooth and Gapps and flashed them via recovery. I did a factory reset and a nandroid backup. After the flash I selected reboot, and the phone turned off like it was rebooting, but never came back on!
I did a battery pull and nothing! I also tried holding down + home + power!
I accidentally forgot to wipe cache/dalvik cache after the install.
Help! I hope this isn't a brick. I've been rooting phones for a while and haven't ran into a problem.
No response when I plug it into the computer, and no charging light (the battery probably has 95% charge)
Thanks

You were holding down the wrong buttons.
Press and hold the VOL-UP button then press and hold the POWER button until
you see tiny blue text on upper left side of screen to go into "Recovery Mode".
If you want download mode do it the same way except instead of the VOL-UP
you need to press and hold the VOL-DOWN.
Good luck with it.
Remember it;s faster to click the "THANKS" button than it takes to type "thank you"!

I can't tell if the t01teatt is for your specific device. I haven't seen the t01te before. I would have expected something different. The symptoms you describe sounds like a bricked device caused by flashing a rom not for your specific device.
I assume your MDL cause you have a custom recovery.
Did you use Auto Loki recovery?
If you didn't use Auto Loki recovery did you flash the Loki doki zip ?

the phone was bone stock locked att i337. I unlocked it via the service hidden menu on YouTube. it worked fine.
next I rooted it with the motochopper, flashed twrp with goo manager and rebooted to recovery. my first load with twrp seemed to hang up and freeze, so I pulled the battery and rebooted into twrp.
I loaded the liquidsmooth to1att and gapps to be flashed. both seemed to flash successfully, and then I hit restart. forgot to wipe cache and dalvik, planned on rebooting back into recovery to wipe/maybe reflash and wipe cache.
the phone turned off and never turned back on.
I had a T-Mobile sim card in the entire time.

If Odin doesn't recognize it, and I think you said it doesn't, then yea I think that's your only hope. But I'd keep trying to get it into download mode and have Odin recognize it. I haven't seen a hard brick of the i337.
Use the original usb cable, the usb ports in the back of the computer, and if that doesn't work try a different computer.
The build.prop in that ROM you flashed says it is for the SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 which is the Galaxy Note II. That's why it is bricked. Make sure you don't try to flash that one again. If you do get it to come up in download mode make sure you have the correct file before trying to flash again.
Good luck!

Well that, or if its in warranty, send it off to samsung and play dumb! Just say something like "it turned off during firmware upgrade and never turned back on"

...and end up with an MF3 phone?
It's better to send it off for Jtag like JD said. If it never had the MF3 bootloader on it, there shouldn't be a problem with them putting MDL back on it (as long as there isn't a hardware issue). To me, the cost is well worth it.

Good point! I didn't think of that..
Hello i have a huge issue with my g2. I flashed carbon rom for my d800 by mistake and now i can only boot into fastboot mode and download mode. Now i have the stock files to return back of course and i followed the guide perfectly but have issues with the flash tool. For whatever reason, it keeps saying "model is different" whenever i put the files in. Because of this, the files never flash and my phone just sits in download mode. If anyone has any idea how to help me out here, i would definetly appreciate it!
Did you flash the AT&T kernel after you flashed the ROM? I forgot and the same thing happened to me. See if you can get to the factory reset menu. Do the factory reset and it'll take you back to recovery if I remember correctly. That's what I did.

What is weird is that the flash tool see it as "G2" Not d800 or d802 or anything just G2

Houston did that on purpose so that the roms could be flashed on all devices. And how do you accidentally flash a rom? There are some pretty deliberate steps required to do that. When you tried to boot into recovery, when the LG logo popped up, did you release and repress the buttons, or did you keep holding them? You have to let go of them and immediately repress them to get to the factory reset screen. Once you're there, you follow the prompts to do a factory reset and it will throw you back into recovery instead of resetting the device.
Also, can you see your device in ADB?

Well because after i flashed carbon rom, i wasn't aware that you had to flash an at&t kernel as well hence my issue. Can't use any adb commands since i am stuck at fastboot. I have tried over and over again and i can't reach recovery nor can i reach the factory reset screen.
