Follow THIS method to unbrick your device (I think the original link is dead, although ffboy2009 re-uploaded later)

Hi all
I've just found and checked solution for many of you who BRICKED they loved TG.
I did it on TG01, dont have TG01A - so this have to be checked by owners.
I bricked my TG 5 times to be sure its working
Needed tools:
TG software
TGTool 1.3
TG Downloader
TG drivers
TG have to be DISCONNECTED from PC!!!!
1. You need to be sure you have charged battery.
Use fried TG or some external charging solution.
2. Install TG Downloader
Before you will install application be sure that TG is NOT CONNECTED to PC.
Install Downloader and click next. Application should install TG01W drivers.
3. Prepare bin file.
tgtool -dec TG01WP_5005000176.tsw tg01.bin
3. Open Downloader as adimi (Vista)
4. Click on Browse and select tg01.bin. App will inform you about problem with version but accept.
Now connect your TG with charged battery to PC. Windows should start install drivers and new device Toshiba DL and some ports. After installatin click "Change Port" at Downloader and choose "Toshiba Download Port" and click "Download Mode". App will inform "Faild to open port" click OK and click "Downloade Mode" again. On status bar app will inform Done and LED on TG will start to be white.
Click on "Start Download" and go to make small coffe. TG's LED will start to blink on many colours and its correct.
Wait till appp restart your TG.
And you loved device is working again.
Have nice day

I try all the ways yesterday i try with cedesmith and without succes the pin shortcut metod.The phone didn't react no green light no red light when charging.
Was your battery 100% charged when you flashed your rom? If not then you have bricked it for good.

Do either of you have a way to charge the battery other then using your phone. Maybe using someone elses phone to charge or an external charger? I have noticed that with my phone it would not flash when my battery was to weak.

I just sent PM to orly_mihai stating that I have two computers at my house, both with Windows 7 32 bit, one is a laptop and the other is a desktop. On my laptop the unbricking app sees my phone, but on my desktop it does not. I don't know why that is, maybe some other app in conflicting with the phone app. If you have access to another computer try doing it on that computer. Or maybe try starting computer in safe mode. It is worth a shot.

Well happened to me too. Yesterday was my first day using Galaxy S and I bricked it 4 times
What you need to do is this:
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Take out your sim card, memory and battery.
3. Keeping volume+ pressed insert back the battery.
4. Keeping the volume+ pressed connect the phone to the usb corb. (note the usb should already be plugged into the pc).
Voila you are in the download mode.

Regardless, this is the main reason I have no intention of ever messing with bootloaders. Just too risky.
I know that I have seen posts on this, I have searched and searched.
I am trying to get back to bone stock and there are some great guides.
The problem I am having is my computer will not recognize my phone all of a sudden.
I have rebooted phone, and computer. I have tried all 3 USB ports on my computer.
It will not recognize my phone with htc sync (just installed) or the regular way.
How to I relock the bootloader if I cant even get adb to recognize the device?
Thanks in advance
Heather
Ok, check under your "device manager" when you have the phone plugged in. You should see it under "HTC ADB device" or "Android ADB Device" if you don't see it there, your drivers may not be working properly. Also does the phone go into charge mode when plugged in? Do you have USB debugging turned on?

I feel stupid.....I googled the drivers, just like in the link you sent me. I tried before I asked the question too. All the links are saying htc sync drivers, and all point to the software to sync phone to computer. I already have that. I did find a link to the actual drivers but it was broken.

If it's already installed then there's not much you can do. When you plug your phone in, it's in charge mode right? Not USB Mass storage or HTC Sync?
Uninstall and reinstall the htc sync and drivers. Then reinstall htc sync and the drivers, then uninstall htc sync only.
Then try a different usb port than usual. Maybe try hooking up your phone while it is in Hboot when you try to ruu or something.

There's no way I'll ever give you better advice than this guy. But if you still can't get anywhere, I could probably get on team viewer and take a look at your computer and see what I can figure out about your driver issue.

If you pull down the notification menu you see where it says "Charging". Tap on that and you should get that option window.

yeah, I used to have that...... not now. The only thing I can think of is I installed HTC sync on my computer yesterday. Its been a few days since I have hooked my phone to my laptop.....
would that have messed it up?
I upgraded my phone to official ics with pc companion. It was working perfectly about one month but then suddenly it bricked. yesterday I had low battery (3 %) and I pluged it in charger and left so and in the morning I saw it's charged and unpluged. but then in 5 min I went back to phone and I saw it's OFF. I wanted to start it and when I pushed power button only sony logo appeared and then black screen, then I removed battery and did that again (did so 2 times) and then when I inserted battery again and pushed power button it didn't react at all. no vibration no screen light. when I plug it to charger it doesn't react as well... so It doesn't react to any flashtool or smth.. please if you can,help me with it I'll really appreciate your help..
p.s I have locked bootloader and was always running official roms..
I think your the 3rd person this had happened on this site. But unfortunately, nobody has figured it out.
I may of had an idea, did you charge your phone under your pillow? As my gets really hot and discharges under mine. So I thought maybe yours had overheated and burnt out?

Or check your usbcable, or change it.
Or do you use any third party usbcable?

have you tried changing the battery? try finding anyone of ur frens that have the ray and sway their full battery with yours. Since from your previous post seems like the battery didnt charge at all.
I think the problem with 4.0.3 (and cwm) is that sometime it can not charge while off. But I think your case might be different if it is not recognised at all. Can you try borrow someone battery?
I have some external battery charger and I'm charging battery with it but anyway thanks guys I'll try it today.. will find another ray battery..
guys I identified problem.. bootloader is dead.. but it can be repaired with a setool.. I'm connecting phone with using testpoints to pc and windows recognizes it but no other software.. just setool, for what I need some cards and it's paid.. so if somebody can help me with setool please contact me.. I'd really appreciate and will consider donation..

i have a sgs3 i9300. i recently flashed the stock MJ9 android 4.3 firmware to it and it was working fine till 3 days ago when it started to show driving mode sign and then i flashed the rom again 2 or 3 times i wiped user data and now the driving mode sign is gone but i cannot connect the phone to the computer, when i connect it nothing happens, on mobile or computer. nothing. (no usb charging or mass storage or any sounds or anything) however i can charge it using usb charger that came with it and strangely i can even use the phone in download mode with computer to flash it using odin. i read somewhere that its not a hardware issue so im really looking forward to some help here. thanks

tested it on different computer still the same. phone hardware should not be the issue since i am able to use it in download mode and charge it using the charger. so hardware port cannot be the problem.

searched all over xda. tried all the things suggested (including the recovery firmware). still things remain the same. i still can flash it in download mode. but i cant charge it or anything. im sure its a software problem not a hardware problem. some serious help is required here

Would suggest you uninstall Kies if you have it then download the new version (Kies for non Android 4.3 or Kies 3 for Android 4.3) from here Kies this will re-install the new drivers, re-boot your PC then plug your phone into your PC and you should get the message installing drivers.
Don't let Kies run at the same time as Odin otherwise it wont work but I guess you probably know that.

Have you tried different USB ports on the PC, there have been reports before that for some reason the port people normally use stops working and by switching to another USB port it works
Forgot to say if not already tried, turn off the phone pull the battery leave for a minute or two, replace the battery and reboot then try to connect it.

Not having much luck are you, one last thing I have read before is using a pin or cocktail stick (you may need a magnifying glass as well) to gently clean the USB port on the phone and the cable, remove the battery first, but be careful you don't actually damage anything, that's why you need to be gentle with it.
Can you flash via ODIN successfully but phone not recognised by Windows??? Sounds like not all pins connecting properly. Clean connector VERY carefully...

i used a very sharp pin to clean the port on phone. did clean a bit, and had a bit of success. i cud charge my phone with the connector connected at a certain angle. if i wud touch it it would stop charging. but that went on for like 40 minutes and then it stopped working any ideas on how can i clean it? if i open the phone will i be able to clean it easily?

Never actually had to do it, only read what others have done, maybe an old dry toothbrush would do it as ling as you remember the gentle bit, if the pin did help then this could solve the problem for you it may simply be dust or dirt on the connections.
Would do both the phone and the cable end, not easy but worth a try as its free.

I'm not 100% sure. But if you get the right recovery Odin it to your phone. I just bricked my phone the same way. I'm on MK2. I tried Odin and the MK2 tar. But that didn't work. Now my phone says. Go to Kies recovery Have you tried holding down power/Home and volume down to see if u can get into download mode. If u can't. Then your battery might be dead. Phone won't charge if in bricked state.

If you can get into download mode, you can flash back to a stock build. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Yp47DV4UuQ&feature=youtu.be

It's time to watch the windows device manager to see what appears.
Windows/Break (hold down the windows key, then press break). For windows 7, then click on "Device Manager".
Open that and then plug in the phone and see what appears.
it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager

That's bad news - that's the low-level Qualcomm boot loader. You may be stuck having to find someone to fix it by JTAG'ing the device.
Google around for "Galaxy S4 QHSUSB_DLOAD" - there's nothing flashable for the I545 that I could find right away.
ya i just did some searching for that too looks like JTAG is the only way. found a place that will do it for $60 plus shipping. not to bad in the grand skeam of things compaired to buying a new phone thats cheap.
if anyone needs it heres the link..

Had that happen twice before(different device) but your device is out of luck, as k1mu said jtag is the only option for saving it

One reason why many of us stress to take time to read and research before leaping into nodding your phone. It takes time but will save time and money in the long run.
