Help I updated my radio for vilain rom 10 and i thought something was wrong when i saw the phone and the box so i pulled out my battery and it wont turn on
That picture i normal when you flash a radio.
Never pull out the battery at that state. I Think its bricked
Yes sorry it's bricked
Sorry to hear, If you can get the phone to give you any sort of life then it is not bricked, just on vacation.
But if not you could always put your phone to good use.
Sorry i could'nt resist.

Well if you ever come beck then try this. If you haven't already installed the drivers for your phone onto your computer do it now. Plug your phone into your your computer do you get a light or try to plug it into charger if you get a light it's not bricked. What you want to do if it's not bricked is run a ruu on it.
No Light :'(
Would htc cover this and send a replacment or will i need to buy a new phone ?
Telling them you tried using custom ROMs wouldn't get a repair,... You could say you were just doing a "restore to factory settings" and your battery died. Its worth a try.
Okay thAnks i migjt try and say it ran out of battery updating to the new 2.1 because personaly i think its slughtly mire belivable what do you think, also just in case i was looking for new android phines kind of off topic here but has anyone seen the samsung beam i mean wow its a projector shame i hate the ui and xda doesnt have it
Oh also i forgot is there anything to unbrick it , like a pandoras battery and magic mem stick ( dw if youvdont know what it is.but it csn be used to unbrick a psp and works even though i went through six psp s in a year lol
Yes say that once it is officially released for your region.
You could check the dream and magic forums to see if they ever recover any bricked handsets?

Hi all
Two days ago, I've tried upgrade to version 2.3.3, but the light went out and my device don't turn on anymore.
I've used KDZ and sometimes I got Update Error.
I would like to do everything before to send to technical assistance.
What can I do to make my device work ?
Looks like nobody wants to be the barer of bad news; but it sounds like you have an expensive paper weight on your hands. I could be wrong though. Good luck with that.

It could be a dead battery. If you have a spare one with some juice in it then use it. If it's not the battery then I am not sure what's wrong.

Q: eh..uh...help....
Hi! I was doing this guide to do a STOCK ROOM format....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989&page=6
And it all went well i did the step-by-step guide...until Odin showed this "Do not turn of target"... ok so i w8 somewhat 10 mins and it still stood there..i was about to go from my desk to my printer when i accidently pulled the cable off from the computer and so it started...
First of all i dident take out my sim card before i did the procedure!
The phone was still in "Download mode" and i was unable to turn it off.
I opened the back cover to reach the battery and pulled it out and also i took out my sim card (just incase).
Tried to reboot my phone but it wont boot nor does it start to charge with the USB cable inserted in my PC.
My phone is practicly dead now and im kinda got a baad feeling about it...
Does anyone know or does anyone have a fix or solution for this?
Shouldent there be a reset button somewhere inside the phone to do a hard reset?
Note to reader: Ive done the hard and soft reset
yours phone is bricked (sorry to say that) , get a usbjig or find a tutorial and make one...
every flash interrupted is equal to brick !

Not necessarily.
A similar thing happened to me a while ago during a firmware update using Kies. I was able to use Odin to flash an older version of the firmware then reflash using Kies.
Plenty of guides on here about using Odin to 'unbrick'.

How can i use Odin to unbrick it when i cant get it in download mode ?
Look on eBay for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig" (minus the ", obviously ). Shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks. If that doesn't get you in download mode it's either back to Samsung/your telco or....
You could try this guy . I can't vouch for their service, but I have seen a couple of positive reviews on here from memory and they might end up being cheaper/easier than going the Samsung/telco route if they refuse to fix it under warranty.
I have also seen reports/experiences where the local Samsung outfit didn't care the phone had been messed with & fixed it under warranty anyway.
So you've got a couple of options

If I were you I would do whatever I could to get this phone fixed. I had a problem similar to yours mine got stuck in download mode after a failed attempt at rooting using oden. I guess I got lucky though because I pulled the battery and the phone booted right back up with no problems. I would highly suggest keeping this phone it is far better than the Iphone 4s. My bro has it and he is always amazed at the things I can do with my phone that his cant! Not to mention the screen is a whole inch bigger and looks ALLOT better! Also, dont forget the 4s only has 512mb ram and a dual core 800mhz cpu while this beast has 1gig of ram and a 1.2ghz cpu! Thats a total of 800 more mhz for the galaxy! Not to mention allot of custom roms allow you to overclock!
If you want to do some modding, you should order it anyway. jigs are very cheap and you can remove the yellow triangle with it if you switch to a custom kernel. And like others say, force the phone into download mode.
Don't give up yet. You won't regret being a bit patient here ;-)

Come on buddy...we know you bricked your phone so you could get the iPhone instead...
If you don't fix the sgs2 you can send it to me

I have the American version of the S3. It was successfully rooted, but stock rom. I was looking into CM9, and noticed that Rom Manager said they supported the SGS3 and CM9. I installed Rom Manager and chose the option for it to reboot for me. However at that point it turned off and won't come back on. NOTHING. No light when I plug it in, can't get it into download mode. I've pulled the battery, replaced it, tried CWM button combination as well as Download mode button combination. PLEASE help.
The phone had about 25-30% battery at the time. I've got it plugged in, and I'm holding out hope it may at least get into download mode once it has more juice.
Man sorry to hear that. While I've had my share of issues with Rom Manager (that's why I quit using it), I've never heard of it bricking a device. What were you having it do when this happened? Did you flash a recovery or Rom. Or were you just rebooting or rebooting to recovery. What custom recovery did you have installed?
________________
Just Flash It !!!
you might be right, cause when you got battery life lower than 50% rom manager tend to recognize it and stop flashing i think.
i bricked my t999 2 days ago because of over flashing hahaha. i flash at least 3 times a day from cm9 to cm10 to stock anything i can find. The phone still work but its got a corrupted IMEI and the IMEI show a 0 instead of the original number.i can't return it because it past 14 days. i just gotta wait for someone to find a fix i guess. Why can't i brick it before the 14 days.... sigh...
when you got your fix make sure you back up your un-corrupted EFS folder. i learned my lesson by not to. with the AT&T and T-mobile versions it tend to happen more. It is random also. so back up you efs folder and nandroid it.
well at least i can now continuing flashing and try out new roms and doesn't worry about bricking it "again".
i don't know maybe i will sell it for cheap...
anyway good luck bringing your phone back to life.
sounds like a brick to me
What does device manager show? If its QHSUSB DLOAD ur done. Otherwise post what it says.Also plug it in without a battery, bet it gets a red light.which i think also points to u bein screwed. and rom manager can brick you dont be fooled(quit using as well).
ouch, i think you might have possibly ended up flashing something for the international one? dont know much that could help you at this point, god knows if those download jigs still work for the iii if they could help you at all. You might be looking at either a jtag fix or a warrenty.
I never really saw a point to using rom manager easier to just flash cwm and look on xda for zips, not to mention it you have to pay to get like 3/4ths of the apps functionality even it seems.
I'm within 14 days of buying the phone. Can I take it back to AT&T and have them do anything?
It does have a red light if I plug it in with no battery.
I'm so scared. I bought a USB jig. Will that do anything? I can't have this be bricked.
if ur within the 14 days just go to at&t and tell them "the truth". u know how it got hot and froze and just wouldn't come back on. or how you woke up to the phone in this state. w/e works for you just play stupid and you've never heard of root before. as far as you know that's just some crazy new app that's out lmao. and no the jig is worthless here won't do anything for ya

To the guy within his 14 days, listen to this guy, “the phone got really hot, the screen turned off, and now the phone won't boot up.."
To the OP, sounds like your best bet is trying for a warranty claim or sending it to Samsung. Unfortunately you're the third person in two days that I've read has done this. The other two sent it to Samsung and they actually didn't charge them I believe.

Hi everyone I'm new to the DNA and to the forums (thanks to my amazing boyfriend). I'm an just an Irish girl who HAD an iPhone (please
don't slay me). I was just like aww I wish there was an app or something for that. Then my bf was just like "my phone came with that feature
stock" and I laughed and was just like "really." So many features his phone has that mine doesn't have. So I switched and WOW 1080p =
beautiful! But then I was like how does yours have landscape home screen and mine doesn't. "I flashed a rom." He told me. Also for me to
learn how to root and flash a rom on my own. So I did and flashed a recovery I think it's what it's called. Clock Work mod. Now my phone
wont charge a dead battery. So I showed to my bf and he said I bricked my phone but he didn't tell me what that meant. I kept thinking he
mispronounced the word broke as in I broke my phone but I don't know. Anyone willing to help me with what my bf calls "Bricked phone"?
HTC Stock Recovery allows charging while phone is off ... When you install Custom Recovery they do not charge the phone hence you can never start the phone back up even to install a stock recovery ...
The term brick means that now it can be used more like a "brick" than a phone
Now to solve your problem ...
1. When you plug in the charger, does the led actually glow ?
2. If not, let is stay connected few mintes, then try powering on the phone.
led stays on I think for few seconds then turns off and never comes back on.
Can you point me to the CWM Recovery version you used (the thread?) because old ones dont allow off mode charging and then I have no idea how to get you out of this apart from contacting HTC (and they will charge you $$$)...
You might be right I might have used an older version and didn't realize.

hi i followed some tutorial linking to a liquid something ics rom for this rom supposedly it was for my att note i717 so after doing all the steps, when i reached down to the comment sections i saw almost 10 comments that that rom was bricking phones, to my infinte good luck, i read all those comments AFTER i had done all steps and rebooted into the death of the phone
cant enter download mode, cant enter recovery mode
if i plug the phone into the pc it says qualcomm cdma technologies mms, and windows just keeps playing the sound when u plug in a usb and un plug it,
ODIN doesnt detects it and on adb devices it is not shown
Hard brick ? any thoughts on this anyone?
Hard brick. Sorry dude.
