I am willing to bet the phone is not bricked.
Try switch it off, (remove battery and put back in if necessary).
Then all at same time press power on, volume down and home button. When it vibrates let the buttons go. this should get to download mode.
If you see that yellow triangle you can be saved.
Then you need to get a Stock rom from Sam Mobile, for your model of phone. SM910F ???
Download program called PC Odin.
The rest you will see on you tube etc. How do I flash stock rom on Galaxy note 4.
If your lucky you will have a perfectly good phone. :laugh:
Either way you have nothing to lose.. If Download mode can be reached, there is a fix for your phone.
Hey sorry for late reply,i just went to the "experts" who had somekind of "box" callef device and he fixed it for me , octopus box or something. So i sold the phone and got a moto x plau xt1562. I didnt like the touchwiz vibe anyway. Love the stock android experience.

(first of all, I didn't knew where else to post this topic to ask this, excuse me if it's posted somewhere wrong)
So I kinda gave up on my magic, R.i.P.
now i was wondering...
that if I take my phone back to the store... and that i shouldn't get a new one immediatly, bcuz they have to send it to htc facotry... how big is the chance they will know I rooted it and it didn't just mallfunction from its own?
or isn't it possible that they just throw in some new rom? They made it so it shouldn't be to hard to get that fixed...
anyone perhaps has experience with sending back his phone or going back to the store?
tell me what happened... did you get a new one, did you had to pay something to get it fixed or just bought a new phone...
all information is welcome either here on the board or by email first_dimension at hotmail dot com <-
thanks ahead guys...
greetings
a desperate dumazz belgian guy who ****ed up his phone badly
What has actually happened to your phone, can you describe the problem please, it may not have to go back to the repair center. Thanks
uhm, while flashing it, it fell down of my desk, battery got disconnected, ...
now i get my "proximus" (wich is my mobile provider) startup screen, wich doesn't go away
cant enter boot menu (by pressing menu + power on)
nor safe mode (home + power on)
cant even connect to my computer to flash a new rom or anything...
so it's completely bricked i been looking on the internet for days now tried every solution...
nada man...
nothing more than my startup screen...
(edit)
the only thing i can still do is like, when i hit the trackball and power on button it lights up a blue led...
but i read every magic does that even if not bricked...
I heard that someone thought they bricked their phone because they couldn't do anything with all the button combinations but when they tried fastboot it worked and unbricked their phone. I mean he didn't go into fastboot, he just plugged his phone in via usb and just tried fastboot.
I'm saying try fastboot. If that doesn't work then I'm sorry but you have to return it to get it fixed but since they can't get into anything I'm sure they won't know that it is bricked.
thanks for the reply m8, but i tried this already...
just sais waiting for device or sumthing...
i think i read that answer on some other board aswell that someone was lucky enuf to have that but not here, not in my case
bummer i guess...
My carrier offers insurance to replace a phone even if it was lost or stolen. If this was an option for you, I guess you would have already thought about reporting it "stolen," but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
Sorry to hear about your phone.
I bricked my mytouch and I just called T-mo customer service and they're sending me a replacement for free since it's still under warranty.
Hello everyone,
I have a galaxy s4 that I rooted. Not really sure who I went thru. Sorry I know thats not helpful. But it worked fine and I enjoyed it. But it stared to be sluggish and overheat, which killed my battey. So I deleted some apps and that worked alittle but still was acting up. So I figured I back up verything and save my files to my laptop and do a factory reset. well it went right to the downlod screen (odin mode) pulling the battery doesnt work and hard reset doesnt work. so i tryed rooting it again and that didn't work either. (Using odin and a new .tar) but after doing that it now goes to the at&t logo screen and freezes. it cant go into recovery mode but it will go back into odin mode. Im not sure what happened. I know its not bricked since it actually tries to start. Im just hoping someone out there knows anything i can do it get it to work again. Its only month and half old.8^( please help.
Do you know what firmware you're on? Is it mf3?

My friend I believe you have the MF3 firmware on your phone. You have pretty much crashed it all together now. My suggestion is take it to a Best Buy Samsung Experience Shop and sweet talk them into restoring it. They can do it, and they can do it for free.

Just remember it has to be a best buy with a Samsung Experience store in it. A regular best buy clerk/rep will have no clue what you're talking about.

Hey guys.
Tonight I rooted my phone with the hopes of everything going smooth, it didn't. It was a nightmare rooting the phone itself.
I was trying to install TWRP recovery through Goomanager but that didn't work so I did it through fast boot and terminal emulator with the commands.
After it was done I rebooted my phone and it just went to a black screen with the blue notification light. Then the phone turned off. I can't turn it on at all nor can I get it to go into download mode.
I recently just got this phone, one week ago to be exact, as an early Christmas present and I haven't really even been able to enjoy the phone because I've had the flu. I just now recovered from it and this happens.
I am in a insanely bad situation.
Is there anything at all I can do? Please help me...
:crying:
If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (not even a bootloop), you're probably boned. Try leaving it charging overnight, try 'jumpstarting' the phone with just the charger/minus the battery (in one of the SGS2 sections, user KingRat detailed a method like this, do an advanced search of his username & you might find the thread).
They're about the only things I can think of to try & they're both very much longshots. From there, it might be JTAG'able or it might be a motherboard replacement; you're only going to find that out if you take to someone who does JTAG's & they try it.
Go to the customer service and act like you don't know what happened to your phone, if you are lucky you can get it replaced..

Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5s SM-900S. I discovered after buying it that it is a clone. Oh well!
I rooted it using Root Genius (Chinese) from Shuame download.
It was working great. Then I deleted some bloatware apps, and disabled others.
After that, all hell broke loose. I was stuck in a flash screen boot loop.
A techie friend put the phone in download mode, and it was able to open up, but no home page.
Then he downloaded Nova launcher, and I got my home page back.
But it was a slightly different home page.
The phone originally said 900T (under- about device), but I know it is G900S (from 3 apps that display the phone specs).
Now it says G900.
The problems now are:
1. my phone dialer disappeared. I downloaded another, but it wont ring when a call comes in
2. Every few minutes when doing anything, I get a message- Unfortunately, the process android process.acore has stopped.
I then must press the ok button to continue.
Can anyone help me? Do I need to flash a new ROM?
I don't wantto reset to factory settings if I can avoid it.
I am a newbie. But I learn fast.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm just going to let you know right now... You're not going to get support in an official device thread for a clone.
I`m sorry you got scammed mate, try to get your money back or file a police report for fraude if the device was advertised as a genuine Galaxy S5.
There is no support for this (also not by the manufacturer) device and even finding a working rom wil be very difficult.
Good luck and hope you learn from this, if it sounds to be too good to be true, it usualy is
Sad to say, but he's pretty much out of luck. Scammers know they're selling a phone that's not genuine, so chances of getting money back are slim to none. Police also don't care. If you bought it with cash just take this as a life lesson, because there's pretty much nothing else you can do.
Hi everyone, Apologies for the message I'm about to write as I'm very new to Samsung and not overly sure what to do here.
Basically I'm use to having a simple Jailbroken iPhone and got told this was the same when rooted, me and a friend of mine THOUGHT we rooted my edge, I ended up factory restoring it back to normal and setting all my phone up again.
But since then, I've had the 150.49mb Update come up a few times, It downloads fine but when I go to install it, It restarts my phone, then It comes up with the blue screen with the Galaxy & Android Logo for about 15 seconds.. Then the Yellow Triangle appears on top of it, and the Android logo looks like it dies lol
Does anyone know what I have to do to update my phone? I really shouldn't have touched my phone in the first place as I wasn't too sure what I was doing, I only done it to get this Certain UI Theme that didn't even work anyway!
Sorry to be a pain, very new to Samsung like I said. I'm learning as quick as possible
Thanks alot,
Courtney
