I have read pages and pages of solutions but none worked for me, there was always a problem so I decided to post it here.
My Transformer Prime is bricked. I was on build 9.x.x.28, unlocked and rooted. Had recovery on and installed cyanogenmod 9 rc1. But then the cgm9 got stuck on the boot screen for like 6h so I decided to wipe the device because I thought (stupid) that I would be able to just boot ICS after. Now I am stuck in the eee pad screen or I can go to the screen with the usb logo and wipe data... I just did something that removed ClockWork Recovery and the android logo on the screen with the usb and wipe data...
When I still had CWR, I played around with it and I think I deleted everything in the internal memory... just fyi... if any other info is needed feel free to ask.
Any help appreciated!

Didnt work. Pushed recovery and rom with fastboot but when i restart, there is no way to get to recovery. Instead it goes straight to the screen with the wipe data and usb icon. No android icon.

whats about trying to flash a bootimage via odin?
Thanks, I will try it tonight. My main problem is that I don't have the android icon when I get to the screen with fast boot and wipe data. I wasn't able to find anyone thread with that problem so I don't know what that means. When I push clockwork recovery with fastboot it says ok in fastboot on my computer and the blue bar on my prime is full but then when I reboot the tablet, and I try to get to recovery it wouldn't give me the option and instead goes straight to the fastboot menu.
Could you give me any instructions how to do it with odin and what files I need?
Thank you
BestBuy rocks
Thanks guys but I just went to BestBuy and they told me I can pickup a replacement at another store tomorrow morning. The only question they asked me was what is wrong with it and I said it wouldn't boot. I don't know if that's normal practice or I'm just lucky that the guy didn't care or know that I voided my warranty...

hi everyone,
I am actually a long time custom ROM flasher started since Desire days, but registered recently because of this problem I have with the Tab 10.1 Wifi.
Despite me trying everything I can think of, I couldn't flash any other ROMs now, including GalaxyTask, Overcome, AOKP CM9, except the stock Honeycomb sans TouchWiz ROM, and of course PhantomTask. I am pretty sure PhantomTask is the last ROM I've flashed until this problem comes up.
I have made sure that I have done a full clean wipe every time before I flash any of them, wipe data -> cache -> dalvik cache, I even format /system partition, but still none of them works. They always get stuck at boot screen, unless the either one of the two ROMs I've mentioned, stock or PhantomTask.
I am sure that my downloads are complete too, as I've checked MD5 for each of them.
So I really don't know what to do now, any ideas?
I'd really want to test out AOKP
How much time are you giving it to boot up?
I've tried flashing CM9 yesterday, and I left it overnight to boot, it still didn't boot pass the logo, and the battery drained out.
I'll give it another try later
Which version of CWM are you using? If you aren't using one of these try updating:
ClockworkMod - 5.0.2.7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090289
Overcome Recovery v5.1.2.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348533
ok I've tried everything I can, and still can't get this to work.
Then finally I've decided to try to unroot and restore everything to stock.
I've followed each and every step of this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971
After everything is done, Odin is showing the pass sign, according to the video its suppose to reboot into Android, but weirdly its stuck at a black screen. So I unplugged it from the PC rebooted it by holding down power button. But now its stuck at the boot logo, and won't proceed, its been more than 10 mins.
I am still able to boot into download mode, but when I boot into recovery wanting to do a factory reset, it shows a black screen and nothing else.
any idea what's going on?
try using the overcome recovery posted above. there's a link in the post that will take you to the over come site. look for the restore yet tab section and use Odin to restore. follow their instructions exactly an make sure it's relevant to your device first.
this has helped MANY people who had some of the strangest problem start fresh. if you want or need specific links just ask I'll go to my PC where its easier to show you.

So i purchased an atrix 4g off of eBay, and it has a few Root applications on it, but isn't actually rooted.
The android recovery mode is also broken, i get an android robot with the Attention symbol. Would post a link to one i found on the internet but i cannot since i am under 8 posts.
The phone was on 2.3.6 build # 4.5.141 when i received it. and i have done nothing to it so far.
So maybe someone applied OTA updates and killed the root or something, idk.
in the end the end i would like to root it with some ISC.
So is there anyway i can Reset everything to stock out of the box. Or to fix the problems with recovery?
Also for now it wont really be used as a phone, as i don't have a sim yet.
To cover the basics here let's make sure the phone isn't bootloader unlocked or rooted. To check bootloader, when you boot the phone, does the moto screen say "Unlocked" in top left hand corner of the screen? If not, it isn't. Then for root, check it with the app root checker basic or pro from market. Get back to the thread once you can answer those questions and then I will post something to help you with the getting ics.
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
Both of those come up as a no So no unlocked boot loader and no root
Try this but you know the risks of messing with the phone right??? Read EVERYTHING before you do. Your phone says a different version of firmware than the thread but if you look back in the posts of the thread in the end, it will work. You can also read the Atrix thread stickies.
Edit.... having trouble posting link ... give me sec.

Have you flashed a different ROM for the time being to at least have a working phone? Like a blur or cm7 ROM?
Sent from my Atrix with XDA Premium
Thats is what i was going to try next, i havent got to it today.
Are you flashing plugged in? Try flashing the rom without having your phone plugged in.
Also, if you're at the M logo screen, I suggest waiting it out for quite a while. Be patient. I used to think when I flashed roms that I was stuck at M logo, but I just wasn't waiting long enough, especially coming from a full wipe.
Otherwise, try doing a battery pull and then putting it back in and booting it up.
You can also try using Nottachtrix with the installer? I've heard that fixes a lot of people's problems that are getting stuck at logo screen.
well right now it seems that the battery is dead and wont charge....
So im not sure what im gonna do about that
Ok so im installing NottachTrix now will report how it went when done.
Also about leaving it on to boot, i did that for 24 hours, nothing happened
Edit:
It seems to be working so far. The phone is stuck at a charging screen with a battery icon, much more than it was before.

Wipe cache partition, wipe data, wipe delvik. Install Rom (cm7). Reboot recovery. Install gapps. Reboot now. If it's not working perhaps you cwm is outdated?

NottachTrix works fine so far, my battery just needed to charge some.
Noob here, please bear with me:
Updated my I577 to ICS, then rooted it using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806118
Worked like a charm, then I picked up ROM Toolbox Lite from PlayStore, which worked fine until I tried to change themes.
Somehow, it got to where boot was stuck at vendor logo. Unfortunately I did not Nandroid backup in time, but I was able to do a Kies backup before rooting, so not worry about the data loss at this time.
Used CWM5, did davlik & cache wipes, factory resets several times, no dice. No stock ROM available so I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30444507&postcount=6
(flashed system tar through ODIN) Hanged at "system.img.ext4".
Here's where I'm at now:
-- Boot looping at second Samsung logo
-- ODIN 1.85 still reads device at port
-- Battery indicator visible when plugged in & power off.
-- Still able to get to cwm recovery 5.5.0.4
So, IS IT SOFT BRICKED OR HARD BRICKED?
Bonus Question: Is it unbrickable?
Any input or answers are GREATLY appreciated, and a fix will most likely be monetarily compensated through Paypal.
Black-wolf, j3r3goss, or shabbypenguin if you see this, your input is certainly appreciated as well!
Its soft bricked. Hard brick means there is no life at all and won't even power on (through software).
Any soft brick is unbrickable, the only nonunbrickable brick is a hard brick (which is rare)

If you can get into Clockwork Mod Recovery still then select wipe data (Do this twice), then select whipe cache (Do this twice), next select factory reset (Do this twice), finally go back and select reboot system. This should unbrick your phone for you

I was able to nandroid out of the loop, but now it's back to my original problem--it keeps booting to the "Rethink Possible" AT&T screen & freezing.
Any ideas? I'm thinking I'm gonna be outta luck until I get my hands on a legit Gingerbread Stock tar.
Did you whipe cache, whipe data and preform a factory reset like we suggested? Preforming a nandroid restore won't get you out of your phone hanging on the at&t logo.

Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i brick
hey there im a noob to all this but i registered to see if someone here could give me advice.
i tried to flash a new rom on my phone (see title) and it doesnt do a thing anymore...
i rooted it and tried to put Retribution beta_2 on it and itlooked to be working till it rebooted..
all i got was the startup screen with galaxy ace gt-s5830i.
i looked around and i found that i could use download mode and odin 1 click download to put in a new rom.
so i tried that and it looked to be working but it stalled at end of install and now it doesnt even turn on anymore...
HELP!!!
hope someone knows whats up and can give me some advice.
i hope i didnr hardbrick it like i saw in this thread...

Hi thanks for your response to my problem,
yes i flashed a custom recovery from clockwork and i rooted it. i cant get in to recovery mode.
after i did that i tried flashing custom rom like i said before but after reboot it didnt do anything.
i just got the startscreen and found that i could use download mode and odin to flash original rom.
i used 1 click downloader from Odin and it started to recover my rom,but at the end it stalled.
after that happened i couldnt do anything anymore.
i thought it was totally dead but i just saw that when i connect to my comp it says unknown device..
im an idiot for trying this stuff without the knowledge..it looked easy in descriptions
but i found different descriptions how to do it..
i cant put links in my posts yet cause i am new..
i used the 1st one.. but after that didnt work i found that other 1 and that is little different...

I did all that, but the one thing that finally nailed it was formatting my internal SD. I also formatted my external one, but I don't even think I put it back in the phone.
So, if anybody's reading this in the future, and you're still stuck after wiping the cache, wiping Davlik & performing factory reset,
FORMAT THE SD!

Hey, total noob here but Im having problems with my Galaxy S4 so I was on this thread looking for a fix.I have an AT&T Galaxy s4 (SGH-I337) and I just rooted my phone and installed clockworkmod recovery. I went to backup and then when I rebooted it freezes at the AT&T logo. Ive wiped data/factory reset, wiped caches, etc ive done everything and it freezes at the same spot. I have no ROMS as I had just rooted, just stock 4.2.2. Then I saw a vid on how to unroot/unbrick and it was working perfectly until it went to reboot.(I downloaded 4.2.2 firmware for my model phone) I used ODIN and it said pass then when it was rebooting it froze in the exact same spot (also instead of the normal bootup it still had the "custom" and an unlocked lock that Ive had since I rooted) and now I cant enter recovery mode. It starts booting but then freezes when the blue letters come on! Now even when I try to turn it on normally it freezes at the samsung logo (with unlocked lock and "custom")Please help! I would greatly appreciate it!
I have a TF201 and I have it rooted and unlocked. I tried installing CWM Recovery using some method I found online using fastboot. It seemed to work but whenever I tried to boot into recovery it would just say "Booting recovery kernel image" and stay there. So I restarted the device and went to the playstore and downloaded CWM and flashed it from there. Same thing happened. So I installed TWRP via fastboot and yet again I couldn't boot into recovery. Take in mind I'm a noob so I probably did something wrong. I then went to wipe the data to retry and of course it said the same message. I waited awhile then restarted the device. Now I'm stuck on the Asus splash screen and if I turn it off it just restarts again. Please help me! I clearly did something stupid, I didn't think it would be this much trouble to load a ROM. Thanks!

Nope. No matter what I do I go back to that screen. I let it die and turned it back on, same thing. Upon further research I've come to the conclusion that it's hard bricked so I guess I'll be sending it in. But for future reference, what steps should I take to root, unlock, and install CM10 on it? Because there's so many guides that approach these things in so many ways which is what caused me to mess up. I learned my lesson at least.
I have a galaxi nexus, I proceeded by setting the phone to the installation of 11 cm. It appears the face of cyano with the wheel turning, grinding a bit 'then turns off. I attached the battery charger. What should I do? Sorry for my english
Rooted
I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T599N rooted with Cydiaimpactor and I dont think a recovery mod installed. In recovery at the top it says android stock recovery and I want to install clockwork mod or teamwin modrecovery. I tried clockwork with Odin but it keeps failing. Could someone help me with this cause I have some apps I want to really try but this is holding me back from using ROM toolbox. If I have one of these already installed then how can I tell?

It's not the ROM that needs to be compatible, it's the device. Below is a link of the entire list of devices that are compatible with the clockwork recovery
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
And this is the link of the entire list of compatible devices twrp.
http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices
If your device is not on either of these lists , that means it is not officially supported. Does not mean it is not available. A developer may have compiled a copy specifically for your device. In which case, if you look at the "Original Android development" forums for your device it would be there. If you cannot find it there, it probably does not exist.
♢NoteIII♢
OK bro, took me some time but found and flashed CWM to my Samsung galaxy exhibit t599n. Now my dilemma is that when I try to flash recovery I loop back to CWM recovery screen. Tried to install Cerberus from Rom Manager and used the in app flash tool. It installed and when I clicked reboot. It just kept going to the recovery screen. Thanks too for the advice earlier. That really helped. Now, please help me to avoid this looping. I think I may be doing something wrong or leaving out something.
