[q] help! Bricked samsung intercept!

Last year(late 2010, maybe mid November), I rooted my phone and flashed recovery with no problem s at all. Some time after that I added Apps2SD and that went smoothly with no problems for about a week. I purchased an 8 GB SD Card for more storage room and after I partitioned it and switched the cards my phone started acting up so i rebooted it. After that I was stuck in a boot loop, so i tried to flash it back to stock but it wouldn't take to it no matter how I tried, whether it be through recovery or SW Update. So then I tried Odin Multi loader(cant remember which version but at the time I made sure it was the one meant for the Intercept) after I flashed it with the Stock through Odin, the phone bricked. Now it will not turn on in any way(recovery or other) the only thing it does do is vibrate when I plug it in to a computer, and it will occasionally show battery life through the touch screen and keyboard buttons by lighting them, but as soon as the it is unplugged it is a brick. I see the little bit of functionality as a little bit of to be able to fix this phone whether through ADB or another function but I desperately need help with this. Can someone please help me fix this phone?
note: I currently have a Samsung Transform as my main phone so if the Intercept can't be helped then it's not that big of a problem.

I have the same problem! Please help!

When you root a phone you put the rom, and recovery onto the sd card. changing sd cards disrupts this process. Put the old sd card in and tell me what happens.

The phone doesnt come on at all

see if you can get it into download mode with the battery out.
Pull battery
connect to computer with usb
vol down + camera + end
If you get into download mode this way flash the stock.tar using SWUpdater.

Nope, it doesnt work, thx though

Ok I've got the same problem with my intercept as well, So i just like to add (maybe its just me) that when i plug my phone to the computer the phone shows that its still functions right (without the screen on), I'm able to make calls, and receive them as well (with the touch of the answer button) but just the screen doesn't turn on, AT ALL!, so KJON i don't know if your having the same problem as me but I'm just a noob and i wouldn't know what to do. But there's some ammo if you need it.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! i dont even know where /sdcard/sdx/zip/ is!
My phone is also a samsung transform and not and intercept and whenever i press vol down+ Power, only the function buttons at the bottoms light up but not the screen
i am a noob.
help?

noooooob here...i didnt wanna start another thread since i have this same problem, so i hope someone reads this..
couple days ago i bricked my sprint intercept i was using SWu and forgot to take the Binary files for the Moment out so now i cant get my phone to DL mode, ive been searching since saturday night and have tried every Button combo posted and nothing, my phone will not turn on and ofcourse it isnt recognized by my pc BUT, ive noticed that only when its plugged in to the computer after trying to power it up several times it´ll vibrate then the 4 touch buttons will react to either the call or end button, also it makes the low battery sound and if i press the camera button it makes the volume sound but i CANT get to download mode, can i bring my phone back or is it done with? help please! and thanks in advance...

well, i would say boot into rrecovery by making the phone off either power button, or remove and replace battery.
next, you will need to press and hold in order: power/end call, call, and volume down.. this should boot recovery mode.
lastly, use the red scroll device to go to reset facory defaults or factory recovery, use common sense while looking. select with clicking and use arrow back button to go back to recovery main, then reboot to system. easy as pie.

Have you tried ODIN or ADB?
I have flashed the Intercept numerous times, soft bricked more than once, I was always able to recover using either the stock bootloader, CWM recovery, or flashing the ROM/Kernel directly using ODIN or ADB.
If you are still having these issues drop me a line and I'll gather some links together that should get you back up and running.
If the phone will not boot at all, even with a charged battery, I would definately try contacting Virgin Mobile and escalating the issue. I've had plenty of luck replacing devices claiming that the device just dropped dead without notice. They are usually good about sending out a replacement phone, and on rare occasions even giving you an upgraded unit if they are out of stock.
Good luck!

Did you use Odin or the swupdater?
Bug difference. Sounds like there's a missing boot loader.

Hi, did you guys fix your bricked phones? Today I have bricked my Samsung transform (bad flash went with SW upgrade.
Only vibrates sometimes and the buttons flash a little, but no boot at all. Is there any chance to fix it? even with Jtag?

Yotaphone 2 boot loop after flashing with yota flasher!

Hey guys, i bought a yotaphone 2 a couple of weeks ago and found out somehow, how to get yd206 to yd201 and android lollipop. I tried to flash it but i made some mistakes. I didn´t turn on usb debugging on my phone and i did not install the file android_usb file to my pc because it said ind file could´t install or so. After i flashed my yotaphone it was in a boot loop and i can´t even put it back into download mode or recovery mode.
Hope you guys can help me to revive my phone.

I had got just the same problem. Go to download mode again (ev. press and hold power and volume buttons for a long long time The flush the "original" firmware - here 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a
After it you yotaphone will works again. Now you could check usb debugging (it's very very important to be done) and flush firmware what you like . . .

I tried already to hold power button + volume down for more than 20-30 seconds but it didn´t help. And how can i flash my phone without usb debugging? I can´t turn it on to activate the usb debugging option

Ideas
Hi,
I had the same problems and found a solution:
When it is in the bootloop and does not go into downloading mode:
Try starting into recovery (Vol up + Power) and choose power down. Then try to go into download mode​Try flashing cn 321a as mentioned earlier, enable USB debugging etc.​When you try to flash the Rom of your choice
close all running applications on your computer. They may take memory. After doing this the flashing took longer for me and worked fine.​

VNS L21 Nougat C432B336 working and not working stuff

Hello all, i am planing to describe all good and not working things about this Nougat version i found and also process i did to install it.
I would be grateful if someone can help me resolve not working things or maybe this will help developers fix them.
First, one month ago, i unlocked and rooted my phone because i wanted some additional features. TWRP was installed and worked like it should. I did not unroot phone.
Yesterday, i downloaded those 2 files needed for Nougat 336 update. I used DLOAD method.
Steps i did was:
1. Put BOTH files on SD car in dload folder.
2. Power off phone.
3. Enter TWRP via Power + Volume down button.
4. Flashed 1st (Update.zip) file and got some red line errors. (Because i read it is normal i went further).
5.Flashed 2nd file WITHOUT reboot. All was done in 1 or 2 mins, and no loading and installing screen was shown, just rebooted normally.
6. Huawei logo showed and phone start normally with nougat update (1. December security patch).
Good things i noticed while few hours of testing:
1. Better battery life
2. Twin apps working
3. App drawer working
4. System is a bit faster (apps load and work faster)
5. Less ram is used (900-1000 MB free when cleaned)
THING THAT DON'T WORK AND I NEED HELP TO GET THEM TO WORK:
1. Camera app show black screen, than shut down and restart itself. That happens all the time until i close it with square button and click on trash can. SO CAMERA NOT WORKING. I even tried some apps from app store. App works but screen is full black.
2. I have no Huawei stock apps like clock, alarm, stopwatch, calendar, calculator, file manager, not even stock sound for ringing nor message etc. They are MISSING FROM PHONE apparently.
3. Problem with sound manage. Those bars that regulate sound dont work very well. I put my Ringtone bar to MAX and i hear phone ringing and SMS sound but I dont hear app sound like Viber or Messenger sound.
4. "MOST IMPORTANT ONE": I thought maybe 2nd file did not install normally so i tried to enter TWRP again and flash it again, but I CANT ENTER TWRP!
I pressed Power+ Volume down like 10 times, I tried Power - Volume up too, even all 3 buttons, nothing happens. Just Huawei screen and phone boot up normally. When i did 3 buttons EMUI screen appeared and it said, installing updates, went to 5% and wrote: FAILED, Reboot phone.
So now i cant flash ANYTHING again. Can someone help me with this thing please. Maybe many other people will find this thread helpful.
Thank you.

To install nougat b336, maybe you should follow the original post also that is also written down this post.

your bootloader is locked

did you face nfc and bleutooth not working in that case what may i do to fix the problem and thanks in advance

Redmi 3s doesn't wake up from sleep mode with custom ROM

I also tried several custom ROMs on the device. In most cases, after the device enters sleep mode (initially after 1 minute), it is no longer able to wake up with either the power button or the fingerprint reader. It doesn't matter if it's LineAgeOS or another ROM. If I remember correctly the xiaomi.eu ROM was a little better because it didn’t always do that.
I also tried several types of recovery ... TWRP, Orange Fox, etc ... different versions as well. If I want to turn on the display, nothing happens. Only the notification LED works. After a hard reset (8-10s power button press), I can only use the system until it goes back to sleep mode. Neither calls nor messages wake it up, and the device is not available during a call.
I just flashed the factory ROM, it works perfectly without error. So I don't think it's a hardware failure. The joke is that it don’t wake up the same way with Ubuntu Touch. Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried to switch off "Prevent Accidental Wakeup" setting in whichever Custom ROM you have installed?

Samsung Tab S6 Lite not booting

So after my last post, you can see it in my profile, I somehow managed to get off the bootloop by flashing the stock again.
But now I came upon a thing that I think that's worse, if before it turned off after rebooting like 5 times, now I can't even turn it off, I have to wait until it's battery drains (I charged at 1% and took 30 minutes to power off) ,can someone help me, it shows at first the logo with the name of the tablet then it remains on the Samsung logo

I had the same problem one time. It could be you flashed the wrong rom. See which model is yours, there are 2 different version of s6 lite, one of 2020 and one of 2022, 2020 are p610 wifi and p615 lte, 2022 p613 wifi and p619 lte

I have the sm-p610 and I flashed the right firmware, how did you resolve

when you flash and then turn on the tablet, you have to wait many minutes before seeing the firstsetup screen, sometimes also 15 minutes and more in some phones. TRy to reflash the firmware following this guide
. to switch off the phone you have to press power button for 10 seconds without waiting the discharge of the battery

I got the tablet plugged in for more than an hour and it isn't booting

ok I read you messed up the recovery. First try to enter in recovery mode to see if it's ok and then say if you have unlocked the bootloader before. Recovery mode press power button+ volume up

I read you let reset the tablet without doing nothing. When you flashed lineage recovery you had to press fast power and volume up otherwise the tablet restore stock recovery. I'd try reflshing lineage recovery but you have to be fast pressing power and volume up before the tablet is restarting the system otherwise you can't see the lineage recovery. Try many times until you see lineage recovery and then try to put lineage rom through adb sideload.
