bricked vibrant - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bricked my vibrant and cant get into download mode
i was doing odin and usb came out
i pluged usb in ans held the volume buttons and put in battery no luck can someone help me

Take out the sim and sd card. Remove battery for 10-15sec. Put only the battery back in. Hold down vol up+down while plugging in usb. Should go to download mode.

As long as it shows com in Odin you can flash, even though download mode might not show correctly.

Good luck by the way ...when all seems lost...sometimes just staying at it...will make it happen ..I've dealt with this before.

try pulling sim and sd card and batt, waiting 10-15 seconds and inserting usb first and then cable, similarly to mentioned above...
I remember getting bricked once and batt-> usb didnt work but usb-> batt saved me

Get 'er into download mode again..
Remove your battery to make sure your phone is off, first of all.
- Hold down VOL+/VOL-, but don't touch POWER
- Plug in your USB (keep holding down VOL+/VOL-)
- While still holding VOL+/VOL-, slide in your battery.
Boom.

He posted in the dev area and the post was moved to q and a accordingly and that's lame for me to point it out? People like you are why br1ckd left. You're lame.

Can u unbrick the s2?

I got the phone yesterday and like a dumb____ tried to root the phone without proper research. There is no power to the phone from either the pc or plugged in the wall. Can a jig reset it? or am I just hosed?
Try this take out the battery then put it back in now hold the
-vol button and put in the USB cable (already hooked up to the computer of course) and see if you can get into download mode.

If that doesn't work then you might have a expensive paper weight. You can try jig to get into download mode as well.
Send it back.

Find someone with a jig? Maybe on craigslist?
That's terrible I'm sorry.... You anywhere near Salem Oregon?

Ouch! ..sounds like a hard brick, you may need to JTAG. Connexion25 does it. You can try download mode via jig. You can go to radio shack and make one or buy a nice tidy one already made.

I thought I had this with my captivate. I found out it still powered on by turning it on in a dark room and noticed a faint glow. Then I was finally able to get it into download mode with a jig and reflashed

What were you trying to load? Unless you were flashing something with bootloaders (WHY????), this should not have happened.

Help with Unbootable EVO?

I have two evos and the other got stuck at the HTC boot screen where it says quietly brilliant. I didn't notice it was stuck since I had walked away and it overheated severely. I held the power to turn it off but from that point on I couldn't turn it on at all.
Any suggestions? Is it a lost cause?

Try plugging it in and letting it sit a while, let it cool down first, maybe the battery needs to recover, heat can damage the battery

what om4 said, it might just have been a heat issue...the same thing happens if your computer over heats, it will reboot/shutdown on its own to cool itself down
Thanks for your responses guys.... Unfortunately it still won't turn on, the charging light won't come on either after trying different chargers.
Is there a way to turn on the phone through ADB? I have never tried it but does anyone know if it's possible?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Nope
Isn't it possible to boot thru fastboot using 'fastboot reboot system' ? Provided you can get into your hboot.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If they said they could get to hboot but if you can't boot normally then you can't fastboot a reboot either
How would I get into hboot? When I plug it into my computer its still make noises and showing up not as the flash memory but something else

To get into hboot, power off, then hold volume down while pressing the power button. Then use volume to choose and power to select.

Yeah, if you plug in your phone to a computer (Linux is a bit better for this) do you get a new device discovery in Windows? Do you have some COM devices or Modems in your Device Manager in Windows?
You might be in the emergency download mode. There can be hope.
That's what I thought they were saying but then another post had me thinking I might be misunderstanding them
Yea it does exactly that when I plug it in, do you know what I should do?

Bricked i777 - should I send to MTV for JTAG?

Hi everybody.
I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.
I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.
So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.
Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...

I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.
I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.

Nothing works. Not even the charging screen shows up when you plug it in. No button combo is working.
Phone is not detected by ADB

Yeah I got it from XDA, it was supposed to be something to enable PicasaSync.
I already sent it to MTV so I think we can close this thread.
Thanks all.

Of course not. Flashed it with CWM recovery (or whatever recovery CM 10.1 comes with) as stated in OP.
