[Q] HELP!!! Phone bricked?

i was rooting to get the gingerbread 2.3 rom but forgot to disable the voodoo thing. and now its just frozen blinking on the startup Vibrant Samsung screen! im trying to use Odin to flash it but my computer doesnt seem to be reading it, i held down the volume buttons and its now in the downloading screen but nothing is happening. someone please help me!!!
Try placing all the files on odin before you hook up the vibrant to the computer in download mode. It should work.
Also you are not bricked if you can get into download mode.
i cant do anything on the odin, the phone doesnt connect. its like my computer isnt reading it at all. the odin is clear from anything, its blank. all the screen does when it says downloading is just stay on that screen on the phone. =(

What I might try to do first is take a step back into familiar territory. First listen for the familiar connection sound just by having your phone on. Do a checklist. Do you have the correct samsung drivers so your computer will recognize your phone in the first place? If you do, then try opening odin, putting your phone into download mode, and seeing if you get that familiar connection sound. Sometimes, you just need to unplug the phone and plug it back in. Once you see the yellow com port light up with a number, you should be good to go. If none of that seems to work, no matter how hard you try, try little variations like taking your sim and sd card out, and just putting the battery in, etc. Sometimes is the dumbest things that work, and sometimes you don't even realize you're skipping a step. I do it all the time. If you can get odin to recognize the yellow com #, you should be in business. At that point you would just need to flash the stock rom.
You might be having the issue because Axura and Bionix roms don't play nicely together, especially if you go from the former to the later. You'll run into gremlins like your market issue. You can always try a factory reset for kicks and see if maybe it's something that simple without having to go through all of this. Good luck!
ok i just tried all that, NOTHING works! i know the sound it makes when u connect to the pc but it did nothing. when i hold the power button and the volume it shows a battery that looks drained. i left it to charge for about an hour and still shows the grey battery across the screen. what kind of samsung drivers do i need i already tried downloading a couple but they just lead to some computer scan crap and wana charge me. im kinda new to this so i need as much help as i can get. thanks.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Showcase Problem.

So I've run into quite an annoying problem- I can't install applications from the market. Last night, I had my phone plugged into my computer and I don't THINK I had the SD mounted, but I've been wrong before. Anyways, I went to disconnect it and instead of dismounting then unplugging, I just unplugged. Since then, if I try to download something, the notification bar will show that the app is downloading, for a second, then it just disappears. My phone is rooted, no custom rom though, and I'm not running Apps2SD. Also, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on my computer.
This has happened once before, and I had to tinker with popping my SD card out and rebooting the phone a few different ways before it finally started acting right again. I'm looking for help because 1) I can't remember exactly how I did it and 2) I figured I might as well try to find out if anyone here knows what I could do to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Galaxy S Showcase stuck at very first screens
Afternoon guys, I did some browsing and searching and cannot seem to find a way to fix this, so here goes:
Samsung Galaxy S i500, Showcase with Cellular South.
It is rooted, with the original ROM/Kernel.
Yesterday, I was attempting to follow the guide on getting ClockWorkMod on it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860250) and when I finally got the final command to work, the phone rebooted, and has since been doing VERY little.
Power Button = SAMSUNG... No vibrate, No change.
Vol Up/Down + Power = SAMSUNG... No vibrate, word flashes, release power (steps to enter recovery or download), SAMSUNG screen remains. Still no vibrate or anything.
Plug in = Grey battery with "loading" circle with no animation of any kind. It is charging though.
Plug in + Vol for recovery/download mode = still just grey Battery not moving.
In all attempts, I have left it trying for anywhere between 30 mins to 4 hours... I cannot get to anything but those 3 results. (samsung, samsung w/ 1 flash, and grey battery).
If I can get it into Download, I can Odin it, or recovery to reset to factory... but I need to get to one. Any and all help is appreciated.
~*~*~Artilleur~*~*~
Download Mode
I had similar situation. Could not get past samsung screen. No splash screen.
Download mode. Pull battery, Plug in USB, hold Vol-. Little guy with shovel.
As for getting back to running. Good luck. I got new warrantied phone couldn't figure out how to fix after soft brick.

[Q] Lg P500 Problem

Hello everyone.I tried to update my phone at 2.3 using LG Mobile Support Tool.Some of my friends recommended me this way,because they tried and it was ok.Anyway,i connected phone to program and started update.At 4% i heard a beep,like the usb cable disconnected and immediately another beep like usb connected again.A yellow screen appear on the phone and it was written:"Emergency mode".Then the update continued.At 55% i heard a beep again like phone disconnected from usb.Then it has started to install some drivers,and another beep like phone connected again and the update process continued,but on the screen appeared a charged battery,like normal charging when phone is closed.After this the update process continued again until 100% and it said complete.I removed the usb and press turn on button.It has showed me LG LOGO and the that write"android" which keeps lighting from side to side.And there my phone is stuck.I removed battery and started again,no luck.What should i do?
Ps*Before this my phone had devoid final installed.Few peoples who updated their phone this way told me that's not a problem,and i am sure that they updated with success.

Ahahahah!
Yeah, LOL. Don't know what is with that but it seems to be mostly required after using KDZ or similar tool. One would assume it is pointless since the phone has just been wiped clean.
Shrug.
Hi all,
I tried to update using the LG update tool, and got this other issue:
got to the yellow screen (emergency mode) and the application stuck. Then it asked me to remove the battery and put it back in, and press "retry". Obviously, it didn't work, and the phone is stuck on the "LG" bootup screen.
Tried home+vol_down+power, and it doesn't work, the only combination that works is back+vol_up+power, bringing the emergency mode back up, but sadly I closed the updater from the PC.
What can I do here?

[Q] Help! Phone soft bricked.

So I rooted my phone 3 months ago. Using the external 64g card trick and everything went perfect.
Had SU installed, and titanium running.
January 1st my phone battery died while riding home on my motorcycle or was close. I had it on the charger when it died. The phone went into a reboot mode. It has the battery, with the circle in the middle and vibrating every few seconds.
I can get into the recover mode when plugged into the samsung wall charger. But I can only get into download mode on usb with computer.
Using odin 3 v3.09.
I loaded it up with the jflte_usa_vzw_16g.pit file in the pit section.
Then loaded up all_i545vruemk2_i545vzwemk2_1937946_rev06_user_low_ship_muti_cer.tar.md5 in the AP section
Thinking the above would be the most up to date. I'm traveling and need the phone and not worried about root anymore.
So it went through the md5 checking. Good
Then without changing any other settings I hit start.
13 minutes later, I get a reset above the id:com
I let it go with out touching the phone.
Then it gives me a pass without any errors.
So I unplugged my phone off the usb cable, pull the battery. Reinstall after 30 seconds. Nothing.
I plug into the usb and it goes back to battery icon and circle like nothing happened.
I can get into download on usb to computer
And recovery only on wall charger
I did try a factory reset and cache reset
Looked like it worked
But phone unchanged.
I then tried the kies firmware and initialization mode.
Loaded up my sch-i545 then my IMEI,
It conects, downloads, installs, finishes, no errors
Unplug and dead, plug in usb, battery icon and circle,
Plug to wall, recover mode,
So phone seems like its taken both updates without errors. But acts unchanged.
Would the vibration from my handle bar mount cause a sudden issue? I've been running this set up for months without issue.
I'm at a loss. I read is you can get it into download mode it should be able to get recovered.
Tried all I know and have read about.
So now with phone plugged into the samsung wall charger.
I went to download mode, selected re-start
Phone booted,
Samsung, unlocked padlock
Samsung blue purple splash screen. (Blue led light)
Verizon screen almost fully loaded (blue led light)
Then phone shuts off, goes back to battery icon with circle.

did you ever find a solution for this? This seems like the exact same problem I am having with my phone. Everything was working until it lost power. Now the power button will not turn device on. It will only turn on when connected to usb computer or wall charger and just shows an empty battery sign. It seems to reboot every 15 seconds from this. If I go into download mode and chose restart phone it gets to the white verizon loading screen and reboots. I can get to both download and recovery mode and flashed the stock full wipe and PIT file and this process succeeded but the phone is still doing the same thing.

My i545 is a similar phenomenon.
I am afraid to say, that as far as I know, with the Knox bootloader, it disallows any upgrading what so ever. I have heard of this bricking devices. The only way out of this is to see if you can reflash the most current ROM, but I am unsure if even that will work.

HELP . V10 Dead or Bricked Not Sure ?!?!?!?

Ok guys so heres the background of it.
A friend gave me this phone to use . Im not sure of the variants this phone has or much background with LG rooting or rom installation. This phone at the time of my possesion was at 5.1 version of OS. I tried updating like normal OTA but it didnt. i searched the net to see how can i update it to 6.0 or 7.0 a youtube video showed using LG Bridge. as soon as i connected it to the LG bridge it showed me 2 updates. i dont remember the details as to version or what the patch was but it showed Marshmallow.
After the download through LG bridge was done it started on the update part on pc and the cell phone after a while the screen got dead. like no power dead. I thought it would restart but it didnt. So far connecting to any power source wont show me any signs of life . But when i connect it to a pc USB cable i hear the sound the pc makes when u attach any usb device.
Is there anyway i can recover this mobile phone. if so how .
Details that i can provide are
Boot Animation = T-Mobile
The Variant Number on the back under battery = H901
Please Help

i have had my v10 bought it preowned in october 2016. no problems. i was going to root and rom it, but found it to be much more difficult than the g2 or my friends phones that i would play with.. i never had any issues so i never did it. the newest update came out and i updated it. still no problems. i did notice my battery drains really fast.. but it is not swollen. i have been on the newest update for at least a month. i moved from texas to hawaii 2 months ago.
i was at the beach and wanted to take a picture. i took the picture, then used the power button to shut the screen off. a minute later i wanted to take another picture, but the screen wouldnt turn on... at all. so i held the power button down and it turned off.... but now it wont turn back on. i tried removing the battery and get nothing. i get nothing when i plug it in to charge it. however if i take the sim card out and put it back in, then put battery back in then plug it in, it will show the screen that is the empty battery with the circle thing for only a moment then shut back off. it was early in the day when i went to take the pic and should have had about 80% battery.
again i have had zero problems from my phone. i try holding volume down and power button and i get nothing.
i just moved to hawaii and dont have the money to buy another phone right now
i have to figure this out. im always the friend that fixes peoples phone so i figure i can get this done.
in tmobile store after removing and replacing the sim we were able to get the lg load screen then it shut off.
then switched it with my daughters sim card and it took me to the lg load screen then the white tmobile screen... then it shut off.
any fixes for this? i have to drive all the way to the other side of the island to buy a battery which i was thinking might work .. but there are no signs on m y current battery that it is bad .. other than knowing it is a year old. i have always been careful with it to try to let it charge fully and not always plugging it in and out.
so i tried reset and it went to green screen and it says apps watchdog bite

Your phone is hardbricked. Because of the update it's now in qualcomm hs-usb 9008 mode you can see this in windows pc when you enter device manager then see connected ports
