I was using Team Whiskey Nero 5 and install Axura 2.2.7 and now phone wont even turn. Wall charger not even coming on. If I can get it into download mode then I can use ODIN and put it back to stock. Im desperate for a way for my phone to turn on.
Plz anybody, can you offer some advice, as I feel like crying now

Let me get this straight...
You had Nero V5 installed then u you tried installing Axura??
1. Take your battery out and put it back in (To make sure its off)
2. Open Odin on your PC..
3. Hold both Volume buttons while plugging the USB cord in...
4. It should go into Download Mode
Tried, still haven't work. Seem like everything on the phone is messed up. It wont even turn on to go into download mode.
I feel like such retard. Is there anything I can do, plz I need help
Tried, still haven't work. Seem like everything on the phone is messed up. It wont even turn on to go into download mode. I tried the wall charger and not even the battery indicator that should appear come on. It seems like the phone as become non responsive
I feel like such retard. Is there anything I can do, plz I need help
how about hold both volume key and hold power key at the same time?
still no response ... reading other thread on the site it seems I may have done a Total Brick ...
Now I feel Total stupid

I did the same thing to my first Vibrant. It all worked out though, cuz the phone i got back was manufactured after October '10 so it had the hardware GPS fix.
The return was easy. I just told them that I plugged it in to let it charge overnight and when i woke up it wouldn't turn on.
Thanks, nice one

I can't even turn it on, nothing. No combos would do anything
ODIN was stuck for like half an hour to an hour, so i had to do a battery pull, now it won't even turn on, nothing, nada.
Anybody have had this happen before?
Did The Battery Die?
Even If You Do A Battery Pull On ODIN
Nothing Will Happen You'd Be Able To ODIN Back

While I'm not 100% sure that this wouldn't cause a brick. I know that I've pulled my battery out during an odin flash with out bricking. Plug in the charger just to make sure.

You might try to get into download like this
1. remove batt.
2.plug usb into computer
3.put batt. in
4.hold volume down+up
5. plug usb into phone.
Then try Odin again
If that doesn't work you might try building a jig:

If all else fails, there's always the homemade jig method. I haven't tried it but lots have had success.

Its a true brick if you cant get in download mode or turn it on. The jig is for people that flashed wrong firmware or pulled battery out in odin and dont have working 3 button combo but the phone does turn on. I have tried a working jig with captivate that wont turn on and no working 3 button combos and had no luck. I have bricked a few captivates with ULF kernel and bad flash's. I do not use ULF kernels any more. Did you have ULF kernel loaded before you flashed?

Not true. My phone couldn't turn on at all. The screen remained black even when plugged into usb or a charger. Removing/replacing the battery did nothing. I plugged into usb, pulled battery, and held the volume buttons while inserting the battery, BAM dl mode.

I said if download mode does not work. If you try every way to get into download mode and it does not work or turn on then you have a true brick.
Same...
I've got the same problem. The jig method won't work...it says it right in the guide. Did you get anything to work?
I'm still not convinced this is possible without actual physical damage being inflicted through faulty charger/usb cable, shock, water, or otherwise... A rogue battery pull sounds a bit far fetched to cause this kind of damage, but you never know...
Download mode is likely the answer you're looking for. Figure out a way into it.

I just recovered my phone from what i believed was a hard brick, it would not power on using the 3 button method i pulled my battery and still nothing. so i did a little bit of looking around on the internet and came accross fractionalphones .com/?p=185 after following the steps i got back into download mode used odin and flashed my phone back to stock.
Hope this helps
I tried to upgrade to froyo using the odin method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950. After everything was successfully done my phone shut off and now it won't turn on. I don't get a battery charge screen or anything. The phone's just blank.....
First, Get the Shipping rom (pit and tar files) so you can ODIN back to stock
Be sure you have the newest version of ODIN
Then remove the battery, plug the USB to the PC.
Now put the battery back.
Press both vol keys (up and down) and hold.
That should get you in Download Mode.
If it does not work, take battery out, unmplug USB.
Put battery back and try again to go into download mode.
Now you put the wrong version of froyo, if your keys maps are changed you may be screwed
If so, good luck! You are gonna need a lot of research to see if you can save it
i think i'm screwed.....nothing is working
If anyone else could help me with this, it would be great. I'm in between a rock and a wall right now with my phone.
you flashed the wrong rom. You didn't know that, did you?

Hehehehe...I bricked mine yesterday. I disabled voodoo via Voodoo Toggle and waited for Linda to convert. I loaded up Odin and put in my pit & tar for JFD, which I always use, and hit start. I was on Nero v3 going to flash Nero v4 when it came out. I got a Fail part of the way through. The phone won't power on at all.....A popup says Windows can't recognize the device plugged into usb...
I think people are confusing things here and there...if your phone won't power on at all, you can't get help...you can't get into download mode to odin or recover it.
Like mine, for instance, there is no amount of times taking the battery out or doing this or that is gonna fix it..We need to read the post before we try to offer help...IF IT WON'T POWER ON how can people post ways to ODIN or RECOVER...

Well right now I'm simply trying to get the phone to turn on which it won't, I was not asking for help to odin or recover. I was trying to ask if anyone else had this problem and if my phone is totally killed or if there's a possibility that i can save it. But thanks for your 2 cents.
Me too
I had ordered Samsung Vibrant Unlocked from T-Mobile USA around a month back. I am well past the 30 day replacement now.
I Rooted it updated to Axura 2.2.5.9
After all the procedure got completed, I rebooted the phone and now it just won't start at all.
My piece is Hardware Locked wherein I can't get into the Recovery Mode, but can get into the Download Mode. But I am not even able to get into the Download mode now.
It just won't freaking turn on.
If I send it over for repair, as the phone is a rooted one, will I void the warranty ?
Please reply quickly. I am starting to freak out.
OK... I want to be the first to eat my words here!!!!!
I tried one last time...just now
I took everything out and only held the volume keys. I plugged in the USB cable to the PC and then to the phone & put the battery in and BAM!!!!! it came on in Download mode
This way has NEVER worked for me without holding the power button. This phone was in all senses of the word "DEAD". I figured I would give it a try with just the volume keys.

Different Situation
I have a similar problem with my Vibrant.
I reset my battery stats and also disabled VooDoo lagfix, and after i tried to reboot the phone, it froze on the vibrant screen.
I tried using soome of the methods that you guys posted before me, but then after i turn it on it shows an icon that there is a connection problem between the phone and PC.
I CAN turn on the phone, is there a way to just like reset everything? and if so how?
Thanks!

If your phone powers on at all, you should be able to get into DL mode. Follow the instructions on how to revert to stock via ODIN.
In reply to the OP, if you tried the download mode method:
connect phone to usb
pull out battery
hold both volume sticks
put in batttery
and the phone still does not turn on even after multiple tries , well you're a bit screwed. But, Samsung cannot detect if the phone has been rooted if it cannot even turn on. Just tell them the Kies Mini update bricked the phone.
omg leave ur phone on charger for 10 min, pull battery out when hooked up to charger put battery back in , let sit for few min pull battery out hook up phone to computer hold vol up vol down pop battery in , helped ? np this has been answered gazilion times in other threads
btw it takes few try this way to get it back up running so dont stop on first , hey .
If you have the phone!pc problem..connect to odin & see if your showing a COM port .... just flash pit & tar if you do. Without download mode

You're talking about a DIY Jig. A JTAG is completely different. They cost $150-300. You can pay to have a local repair shop jtag it for around $50 or send it to Samsung to repair/replace. I'm still trying to find out how much Samsung would charge for the repair if it's deemed out of warranty.
If your phone refuses to turn on no matter what you do and it gets warm or hot if you leave the battery in it, read on:
I hope my suggestion is not too late. I was in the situation before. I tried everything everyone said here and somewhere else. None of them works.
The reason that those methods don't work because you cannot get to download or recovery mode or even the pc-phone screen since your phone won't turn on. The reason that your phone doesn't turn on because the bootloader has been messed up. A jig will work only if your phone can be turned on somehow.
Three possible solutions:
1. Repair or replace it with T-mobile, or
2. Get someone to repair it with a riff box or other similar tool, or
3. Get the box and fix it yourself (not recommended if you are not familiar with electronic stuff.)
This is the link for the same problem you have; this guy bought the box and has his phone fixed himself. If you live in US, he may do it for you if you have no place to go. It does hurt to ask.

SO then like the moron that i am it didnt reboot right away so i waited about 30 seconds nothing came on. So took the battery out and put it back in. now it wont even turn on. ive even tried my jig with wont come on at all is it screwed. please tell me its not...
Go to the Bible and read up. I am guessing you probably need to use a usb cord plugged into the phone hold down the volume and start buttons then plug into the computer (make sure you already got Odin up)... that may be the way to get it to respond then odin back to JFD stock.
READ THE BIBLE this is in there somewhere it is the best source.

Did you come from a voodoo enabled ROM?
WHY did you do this?! It's stated so clear that it takes a long time on first boot, and you wait 30 seconds? My phone doesn't even boot normally (not off a fresh install) in 30 seconds. I've never had to use download mode, but I hear it can be pretty tricky so try all the methods you find many times to make sure it in fact doesn't work. But you'll definitely have to ODIN it looks like. Or you could go to T-Mobile and say you tried to use the 2.2 update from Samsung and it bonked your phone and see how sympathetic they are.
I think he means the screen was completely black for 30 seconds after he hit reboot. Bad sbl flash and hard brick most likely.
Happened to me when I tried to flash Nero for the first time. After a bit of tinkering I was able to Odin back to stock an then I just reflashed. Haven't had a problem since.
Make sure to disable voodoo.

Sorry to say, but your phone is bricked, OP. The only hope you have of bringing it back is with a riff box.
yup u bricked your phone . call samsung they offer free phones for replacemnt
but before you call samsubng for replacement do me a favor go put your phone on wall cahrger for 20 min and try to boot it right up try after 5 min plug in to wall charger while charging even tho u cant see it does bc screen is blank bull bat out put back in try to boot if it doesent work keep tryin that lket batt sit charging for lil bit longerr and retry . come back and tell us how it go ;>
if it fails leave phone chargionn for 10 min after that go to ur computer pull batt out ur phone hook up usb to computer hook it up to ur phone hold vol up vol down plug cable to ur phone while holding vol buttons and pop batt right in .....works ?

Could you be a little clearer with these directions I would certainly be willing to try this method. However, since this has happened leaving the phone on the charger for anything over ten minutes it becomes pretty hot. Not that it really matters, I don't think the phone could be any more borked at this point.

hold power button or pull battery
im not willing to try it again at the moment to double check, but,
from my experince in the past it came back up in dl mode still if i did that.
could be that those times were when i had failed odins and stuff...
thanks
maybe lol
but if you go in normally like if you meant to go to recovery from extended power menu but pressed download mode by accident
just hold power for like 5 sec and it'll turn off or just pull the battery
I've had to do that a couple times. Just pull the battery. Haven't seen any ill-effects from it.
just whip that bad boy out and stick it back in!..... the battery you pervs.....
Lol seriously your not going to harm it by pulling the battery..... if the usb plug is still in it will stay lit up though

Well it really depends on what bootloader you currently have installed. But this will probably get you started: Good luck!

what happened ??
is it working at all, does it show anything or bootloop when you turn it on or does it show anything when its charging
if it doesnt do anything at all when trying to turn it on or charging then it might be hard bricked
when i turn it on it goes to the rom boot screen and doesnt go past that and when i plug it into the computer it shows its looking for the battery status but nothing ever comes up. If it is hard bricked is there anyway to come back?
Buy a JIG. That will kick the phone into download mode. The phone isn't hard bricked if it still gets life. Jtag will fix hard bricks that get no life at all. Good luck!

when i turn it on it goes to the rom boot screen and doesnt go past that and when i plug it into the computer it shows its looking for the battery status but nothing ever comes up. If it is hard bricked is there anyway to come back?

Click to collapse
it isnt hard bricked if it was it wouldnt show any life at all, screen would just be black constantly when trying to turn it on or when you plug charge in but yours comes on so your fine
theres 2 ways...
1st
open odin
take battery out of the phone
plug usb into phone and hold volume up and down
push battery in and should put you in download
or
open odin
hold volume up and down and plug usb into phone
mine only works second way but most people use the first but try both
if it still doenst work do what kawika said and buy a jig but keep trying with the usb for a while plugging and unplugging in difffernet usb ports, took me 2 hours once to get it to connect to odin once by just plugging and unplugging in different ports
