Try recovery mode, but probably it won't work neither. Try also removing sim and sdcard... In such cases, when you cannot start the phone in any mode, the Samsung service is the only solution...

ok. can it be done under warranty?
what do i say to samsungg service?

I guess this is covered by warranty... you can say the phone crashed after reboot or after using Kies.

I can possibly purchase the phone off you. If nothing can be resolved by yourselves!

Tell samsung it crashed while updating with Kies

[Q] Is my u8800-51 Bricked?

I upgraded to official 2.3.4 GB (i think it was a Chinese ROM because i downloaded it from the huawei website) and i did not like it because my phone did not get Data or Wifi Or Bluetooth so i i downgraded my phone to 2.2.2 back to the original firmware it had but when i was installing it my phone said Successfully Installed and then it turned of but then nothing happened black screen, next day i change it it turn on the touch keys turn on and LED turn red but screen is black
anyone know how to fix this

I am also having this type of problem. I rooted installed CWM and flashed a custom rom now i have the blue screen issue. Can't find the files I need to repair this anywhere. All the treads have broken links.

r0y123 i am following this guide to correct my problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589205 I will let you know if it works out.
EDIT: worked perfect I can now boot and reroot.

thanks for the help
my phone wont turn on ,the LED and touch keys turn on for a while only when i connect it to the pc or wall charger. ohh also my computer recognized my u8800-51 as a HID-Compatible device------------- anyone know why?
i cant access pink/purple screen or blue screen not even recovery.
PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!!:crying:

I installed ubuntu
can I use ubuntu to see my phone stuff? sorry i couldnt explain my self

It would be worth a try. I have and increadble and the first time i rooted and and tried to run a rom on it. I got the same kinda thing yor getting. It was a screen driver problem. That might be something to think about. My previous post worked like a charm. Try it your phone is already dead. Just pretend it is at the right screen it wont work if it doesnt find your device.

Nope It did not recognize my phone only when I'm on windows my PC recognize it as a HID-Compatible device but when I go to my Device Manager and uninstall the driver it recognize it as a ""Quantomm something something MSM"" but then windows installs it again and I'm trying to install as something else, ANYONE GOT ANY TIPS?

Bricked Phone! - Dead - NEED HELP!!

Hi guys, I'm gonna tell you what happened with my S4 to see if you can help me.
I got a MetroPCS Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919N) then I went to a tech and unlocked it. After 2 days the screen started blinking in pink color and I decided to flash it with a stock ROM from T-Mobile (SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131) using ODIN. Everything was great, in a couple of days the screen went kinda black (No brightness at all) I could barely see it. In this state with the phone turned off and tried to plug in to the PC or charge it and started blinking in green color. I decided once again to flash it with the stock ROM mentioned above but the phone won't enter in recovery or download mode after that I tried to flash it with the CyanogenMOD Installer......everything was OK but it stuck in about 75%, left the phone connected for 20min aprox and nothing happened. I unplugged it and tried to turn it on (It vibrates but I get no startup sound, logo, boot, anything!) ODIN doesn't recognized anymore, can't enter in recovery or download.
I tried to reboot download with ADB to flash it with ODIN but usb debugging is not enabled and ADB commands doesn't work.
I don't know what to do with my S4, I hope you guys can help me. I'm not in the US so I can't return it for replacement.
I hope to hear from you soon. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Is the battery working ok? Does the LED go red when charger is plugged in as normal?
What happens when you try to boot to recovery?

If your screen start blinking pink and after that turning black, why do assume it's a software problem? No rom would cause that. It's clearly a hardware failure.

The battery is OK, I tested it already with another phone. The LED doesn't turn on when the charger is plugged in. When I try to enter to recovery it vibrates but nothing else happens (Black Screen).

The screen would cause no sound, no LED light, no download or recovery mode, etc..?

Service center is better idea, since they can't go to download mode to see your phone stil got warranty or not.. just say phone dead ... while In pocket automatically

You don't have to be in the US, it's just going to cost you more in shipping. Maybe you can find someone in your country that can jtag. Try some of the local phone repair shops.

bud same thing happened to me. and unfortunatly there is no fix for this. everytime i turned my phone on i got the little android guy then it would stay on lg screen with blue and green LED. try download mode it goesto the first screen of little blue dots.
since warrenty should not be able to tell anything about root or etc. i sent it in. in the mean time i called my carrier company and they sent me out a new phone for 35$. but i have to send old one back wether it ges fixed or not.
sorry bud but there is no way back from that. even tho your computer gives it a port its not fully booting so you cant flash anything..... here is one last thing you can try................ this could be your only hope.......it didnt help me but it might work for you...
good luck

thank you so much sir for replying, what is really wierd is that when i connect it to my pc, kingo root detects it, and gives me the option to root, then the rootin process stops at fetching scripts.

I cannot read.

If you can do that, you should be able to fix it via that Ubuntu guide to restore the partitions I think...?

I was able to connect to pc like he was. And kingo saw it but about 2 mins everything failed. No matter what port name i gave is. Any flash tool as well. And ubuntu did not work for me. Altho i did suggest that ubuntu method just incase it does work for you. Exhaust all options before giving it up for repair or warrenty exchange good luck and i hope you are more secessful then i was. Altho rogers did send me out a new phone good luck

thank you guys , my phone when on lg logo, and connected to pc, i can see it in device manager under modem as LGE android net usb modem,
and under ports as LGE android serial port com 8, any chance or sign of live to my phone, as mentionned before, there is no waranty services in our country.

@ jester12345 Did ubuntu read your phone when you tried the method of flashing partitions?

No ubuntu did not see my phone. Only my pc did even tho my phone wouldnt finish booting.

Could there be a paid fix? I'm ready to pay to bring my phone to life again.

Phone shows no sign| Seems like a dead phone

So everything was working fine a few minutes ago until i put my oneplus2 in my pocket, after sometime when i removed it there was no sign, nothing seems to work, it wouldn't boot neither into bootloader nor into recovery, and when i charge there is no indication either, anyone knows what would the problem be? or is there any way to make it work?

bro it ain't detecting anything, everything was working fine then how suddenly it looked like it's dead?

Did you have a custom ROM on it? Did you install a custom kernel? Were you tweaking around voltage/CPU etc..values?
Some more information about the "crime scene" would be nice..

ok so i had flashed h2os a week ago everything was working fine until yesterday when suddenly it stopped showing signs, neither does it shows charging signs nor does it boots into bootloader or into fastboot mode, i did not tweak anything either, i charged it the whole night but it ain't showing any signs yet, battery was working fine the other day so can it just die so suddenly?

may be you should try hard reset.
check if it gets detected by your pc in auto restore tool software. your phone won't show any signs even if it gets detected by your pc in such situation.
