I think it may be easier just to borrow or use another computer to fix your phone. I know someone who repairs computers for cheap but thats all the way where I live
How would that change anything using another pc my usb port on my vibrant is broken so i cant odin back to flash

hi so i had a replacement vibrant with the hardware keys disabled. but somehow i bricked it and i cant get back in to download mode. now its stuck on the computer icon and the phone icon. i had vibrant hybrid rom installed in there. and rooted. i called tmobile and said i was trying to copy something from my computer to the phone and it just rebooted and that screen came up. they are sending me another one. i mean the only way to get back in is to reflash it with odin right. thats what they will have to do. and if they do that i should be good because it wont be rooted anymore. what do yall think?
I dont think its bricked, try other methods. But hey a replacement is always better

Be careful. If they find out that you were messing with the phone's ROM, they might charge you a restocking fee of $400. Because technically you voided your warranty by rooting it. Trust me I know I work for T-mobile.
My phone was dead (had to change motherboard) so I sent it back to the lg service center.....
How long does it take to fix my p500?
#Maybe it's different from your country but never mind
if its in america from tmobile it will only take a day or two but they send the phone first
I don't think they change motherboard for a bad update or flash rom went bad kind of dead phone. They just hook up the phone to a jtag (something) and flash fresh rom.

OP never mentioned it was due to bad update/flash. Anyway it shouldn't take more than a week for you to get your phone back.
Well 4silvertooth is right.....
Is the flash KDZ problem

You need odin to flash to stock.
I am certainly no expert, but I believe this is the only way. Sorry bro.

Couldn't I brick it an tell them I tryed kies update? but also i have Gb bootloader so it say Gt-I900

I'm gonna state this flat and outright.
Go get your cheap @$$ to radioshack and buy a usb cable! It only costs like 5 bucks man.
You *NEED*, i'm gonna repeat *NEED* to have a USB cable to ODIN back to stock. If you send your phone in the way it is, you are screwed.
Short of that, take a hammer to it, but I don't see how you would get it covered under any kind of warranty if you did that.
That's how my vibrant was also. Just get a new USB cord. It works trust me.

I suppose it is hardware related, maybe you can go to the Moto repair center to have your phone checked.

you can't miss something cos if so your phone won't boot up, i think call bestbuy first and make sure your phone is unlocked when you deliver your phone to them.

NO!!!! That is INCORRECT! Make sure you phone is LOCKED before you take it to best-buy or Sprint!!!!! You got the phone under warranty Locked, they will standby that. If you unlocked it and they see it, that means you f**ked with it which voids the warranty and they don't owe you s**t!
TRUST ME!!!!
Look for my thread "I F'ed up!", I have a post with DETALED instructions how to put it back and what you need!! (I'll be back, I wil find it!)
That's what I was afraid of taking it back but oh well

You don't have to take my word for it, ask a forum admin. He**, go to another phone and ask around there! Look [email protected], the instructions for ANY Flash/Root/Unlock starts out with "This will void your warranty and I'm not responsible if you brick your phone!" Then they give you instructions.
Even if you take it in unlocked and they find out and you say screw it and walk out, then fix it yourself back to stock, your still f**ked. They will upgrade your account with note that you did it, so if something jacked later, T.E.P is off the hook!!!
Note: I know all this because I was a B.E.S. Admin for @ 7 years. My old job, I did not work in Mobile support, but I loved flashing Windows phones and they had like 40 of them laying around. Sale guys would see **** I did, to embrassed to ask because it would make them look dumb, try it, brick it, go into Store, hence, company contract and warranty is gone!!!! Got into Android with Evo and never looked back!
I'm working but just looked @ briefly, e-mail me your e-mail and I will send you file and EXACT instructions to get you out of jam. In the mean time, you need to download RSDLite to your computer and install. Also, make sure you have 100% charge on your phone (you can go lower, but that is trouble too!). Also, free up USB on BACK of computer, not front!!
Trust me, I spent 2 days without phone, I know how it feels!
I'm Home! [email protected]!
My bad a lil lost so are you saying to sbf because I already did and it didn't fix the problem what I can try is someone can do a fresh install backup with none of your info and pm a zip or files and see what my is missing

I am a noob but a noob who can follow directions well, and I ask you all this. My situation involves a Samsung note from att the sgh-i717 ceramic white i believe is how its is classified on Samsung's site. Now I don't think the phone is completely hard bricked true i cant get into recovery or download modes adb does not see the device however a few drivers will load on my win 7 pc and a driver trys to complete a load but its is as if the system keeps connecting and disconnecting to phone. I really don't wish to send phone off to get jtaged and since you all seem to have a good working knowledge of Samsung tech maybe you could share some insight into my problem. The Qualcomm mmc driver is the driver that will not load correctly. Since some of the drivers load that indicates some form of communication so where do we go from here.
If you follow instructions well how did you get in this situation? No but I'm pretty sure you have to send it away if adb nor your PC is recognizing it. Does it say you need to format a storage?

No need to send away. Ours is one of the few phones with an unbrick tool available

You have to send away to have it jtagged. The tool is a jig not a jtag.

Did follow directions on the attached ota then my phone went into a loop before the Samsung logo so I took it to att and warranty is over and store said sorry got it back from att and realized what ever they did made it worse because now I can't even get the device to stay connected to the computer when I can get to the phone it does say that the storage device needs to be formated however before being able to do anything else I get another device disconnect and reconnect
Will it go into recovery mode?
