I was flashing my Vibrant back to the stock ROM using ODIN, and I had the re-partition checked off... and I think this is what killed my vibrant. If I click the power button it doesn't do anything. It has a full battery and even with it on the charger... still nothing. I can't see anything on the screen. What are my options to fix my Vibrant?

Have you tried a simple
pull the battery
put the battery back after a few second
start ODIN
connect USB to PC, but not to phone
hold the volume +/- key
connect USB to phone while holding vol +/- keys

SAME AS ME heeeeeeelllpppp
not a single button is working, either JIG i have it, what can i do?
Sorry to disappoint you; it seems that you are out of luck. I was flashing my Vibrant in the similar situation like yours and my phone has never turned on again since then (6 weeks). I live in Thailand and have been searching both English and Thai version for a solution. None comes up so far. The only way the USB jig will help is your phone can be powered up. I have tried that myself. You can look for the confirmation elsewhere in this forum. Any way if you can find a diy solution, please let me know and I will post it here if I can find one myself. Thanks!

the title states its a "HARD BRICK" meaning it will not turn on. If the OP has enough sense to name the thread its a HARD brick, then i'm sure he knows what a hard brick is. All solutions your leading to cannot be done AT ALL. The phone is a paperweight, you cant do anything but 2 things:
@OP
Do one of these 2 things:
1) build a JIG costs around 10$ a bit more or a bit less. but no over than 15$
(search JIG for vibrant on youtube by mobiletechvideos)
2) Send it to tmobile.
I hard bricked my phone 4 days ago.
I called them, and their sending in a replacement, and i send them mine and im done.
It cost me 10$ for shipping and handling but thats it.

Your first option is out because I have tried that. The only option left is the second one. since I live in Thailand, I have to ship the phone to my friend in Los Angeles to have him replace it for me. It is costly, but at least I will get a phone to work.
It seems to me that this issue is a special case that doesn't happen very often. Only the chosen ones will get into trouble like this when making an error here and there while flashing rom.
I had an IPhone 3G before and, of course, I made mistakes while updating it with all kinds of firmware, but the hardware never fails on me no matter what I did.
Thanks all who try to help.

Just because he put hard bricked in the title means little. It was his first post. He very well could be a aviid user. All I could go by is he said he hit power and nothing happend thats about all he said over and over. No battery pull 3 button try. So what I did was try to help thats it. I did not suggest anything to make matters worse. A lot of ppl thought their phones were "hard bricked" but they got it to come out of it. Just because your more of a wiz then most ppl here. I would appreciate if you would get off my back a bit for I was just trying to help.

I'm not getting on your back, why is it you think so?
Most of the users as i've encountered don't have the sense to name their threads appropriately, the OP on this one specifically named it HARD BRICKED, so instead of telling him to do all these instructions, you could've asked 1 thing "when you plug your usb, or wall charger, does it show any lights? or Are there any symbols on the screen? any lights glowing?"
Those 2 questions could've saved him, and you time.
Trust me i'm a beginner as well, i just know how to get out of these because i've been with this problem a few times. Alot of people here know more than me, specifically s15.. idk his full name.
SO I haven't seen a direct answer to my question....
I did a software update on my Galaxy S2 and it downloaded fine. After the download it froze on the "software update" screen. It's a white screen with software up date above a progress box, but there's no progression showing. It just says "loading...."
How do I fix this? I've seen a few post with people having the same problem, but no answers!! It's been like this all day.
I have tried turn off and on with power button, as well as attempting a hard restart, but nothing works. The white screen pops up despite any attempt. Ohhh and I also already tried removing the battery.
Any help is greatly appreciated......I am a big noob when it comes to this technology, so PLEASE bare with me.
Still loking for help!! Any one!?

Try this:
- Power the phone off.
- Plug the usb cable into the computer (not the phone)
- Hold both sides of the volume rocker down (vol up + vol down)
- While holding those buttons down, insert the usb cable.
Then flash the stock rom.
Gave me Odin mode. Any tips on what to do, or do I just follow the instructions? THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Awaiting the next step since I have no clue where to get file or how to set it up. Do I use Odin 3185? Or something else? Any links will help. This is a US phone if it matters.
I'd like to get it done today if possible!!!
Thanks in advance!

I bricked my galaxy note i717 beyond recovery with a regular jig. I've looked into jtag but I haven't found any information whether it's viable for the i717 (i.e. which jtag it's using, which box I would need, where I would need to bring it etc etc.)
So here's my question: Do any of you guys know any more about how to unbrick the phone or details about whether/how to unbrick using jtag?
Maybe I've overlooked something else. Here's how it went down:
I was stupid and tried to flash the phone with firmware for the N7000 because I was overexcited and didn't know that it wasn't an n7000. Now the recovery mode wouldn't let me upgrade (understandable reasons I guess) so I decided to force flash it with odin which also didn't let me upgrade the phone. So I used some method relying on adb. The process took way to long so I unplugged the phone mid-way through it, then replugged it and suddenly the process reported success. So the phone started rebooting just that instead of actually booting up it stayed black. Pressing any of the buttons yields no response - neither vibration nor any screen response. Using the usb jig also yields no response but I'm not entirely sure if there's a jig method that might work - or a key combo that might work - or even a usb method that might work.
Anyway any advice would be highly appreciated.
Did you try return to the store where you boought it? If your phone don't show anything on the screen, there is no way store knows what's going on with your phone unless you tell them the truth
That's exactly what I would do

That's not guinea pig. He did couple wrong things in a row (wrong ROM, god know what he is doing with abd and then unplug the phone in the middle of flashing or something). If I'd make a guess, he screwed up the bootloader.

Yeah I thought about doing that - worst case scenario they tell me I voided my warranty and give me the phone back and I can still try finding a jtag solution or do i have to face any other consequences including maybe never getting my phone back?

Try your buttons...
Everybody's talking about whether you tried to get into download mode with buttons, but You have not said for sure you tried it.
Hold down down volume button, home button and power button all at the same time. You don't know for sure until you try it.

I know on some phones that download mode can still be activated even if the screen isn't working properly and displaying it. I know many infuse users ran into problems and were still able to use Odin to flash stock and fix their phone. Try doing the hardware method of getting into download mode, and even though your screen doesn't show anything, it may still connect to Odin and you could try to flash back to stock.

U cant brick these phones.use the hardware buttons to get into download mode.
Take battery out and put it back in.hold power vol down and home for 20sec and then press vol up and plug into ur pc with odin running.u should see something on port section.
If that dont work.hold power and both vol. Buttons for 30 sec. Then press vol.up and plug in usb.hope it works.

Actually, you can brick it to the point of needing JTAG repairs to restore your device. That being said, it's very very very hard to brick it. You have to do something like flash firmware for a completely wrong device and screw up your bootloaders in the process.

I've read some so my suggestion is this:
First make sure that you have the drivers installed for your phone. Then pull the battery wait for a few seconds. press the down button and then the power to go in download mode and hold them pressed for 20s. Now plug in the USB and press the volume up button. If Odin detects it you're good to go! If not... Well it's worth a shot
My theory is that even though the screen is blank, the hardware still boots properly. Just make sure your battery is somewhat charged. And also plug in the USB AFTER you "boot" in download mode.

Why don't you find Adam_Outler in the hardware hacking forum? Send your phone to him and he'll hopefully be able to create an unbrickable mod. Not only will you likely have a fixed phone but it will mean volumes for our community.
Note, you will be without a phone for a bit

It's not that, we've all made mistakes, but it's like this guy went out of his way to try to brick the phone. This isn't like "oh crap, I flashed the wrong radio"
He tried to flash a ROM from a different SoC and every fail-safe wouldn't let him do it. I'm surprised at how well the different programs tried to save his phone, then he actually went ADB and forced it onto his phone and then he unplugs during a flash.
It's like he drove his car without paying attention and hit a fence that prevents you from flying off a cliff, then he kept ramming his car into the fence, then took some C4, blew up the fence, drove off the cliff, then started yelling "help, I fell off the cliff"

I'm confused, is there a CDMA Note? What do you mean "they won't know it's GSM"?
Hello!
Long time lurker, first time poster and new registrant TO post. Howdy!
Before we even get there.....yes, I searched first. I have been looking via searches here and via google for almost two hours, and have had exactly zero luck. Thus, I register and ask. Here's the specs.
First, I have a Galaxy S2 (model SCH-I500). It belongs to my old boss, and I need to give it back to him. I'll share the cliffs notes version of the background.
He rooted it about 1.5 years ago. And it was a pain in the ....posterior...from the day I got it. Last fall, I got tired of its issues and came here. I spent about 4 hours reading the forums, then downloaded Odin 3 c 1.8 and some ROMS.
I spent most of one slow workday futzing with it, and eventually got it re-ROM'd back to the factory image. Then, I cleaned up and uninstalled the crap I didn't want, and have been using it happily ever since. Stock ROM, only deleted stuff I ddin't want. I don't do much with the damn thing, its a work phone. I take calls, check email, and really that's about it besides texting.
So, I got a new job, and I need to return this to my old boss. I copied the whole thing to my PC to get all the pics and saved ringtones and such off it via USB. Then I powered it off and popped out my 2GB SD card.
My intention was, at this point, to re-flash it to stock and give it back to him that way, with none of my data on it.
SINCE that time, the phone will NOT boot.
It will ONLY go into 'android system recoovery <3e>', and only the home button does anything, and what it does is hide the text and leave you looking at the background image of the green robot guy and the exclamation mark. Not one single other button works to to ANYthing. Including the power button. Even holding it down at this point does nothing. You have to pull the battery to turn it off here.
But wait, it gets better!
Even after putting the SD card back in, this does not change. I cannot get into download mode to reflash it. I cannot boot the phone 'normally'...it simply goes to the same recovery screen and hangs. But I haven't actually DONE anything yet that should cause a boot loop or hang. I'd understand if I had applied a ROM or a patch or somesuch to it, but I haven't yet. Granted, I was ABOUT to, but I didn't do so yet.
I'm stumped. Regardless of the SD card being in, regardless of what buttons I push, hold, or don't touch, it only boots to the blue texted 'system recovery' menu and no buttons work at all... a complete hang. I can't boot into download mode, I can't just boot the thing, and I haven't yet applied any ROMs to it to fail or change anything.
At this point I'd settle for just booting it into the OS it has, and deleting my info...he'll probably either nuke it himself when I give it back to him anyhow, like he had it before. But I can't even do that!
Apparently, my google-fu is weak, and I cannot find an answer that isn't "Well, boot into download mode...". Because I currently cannot do this. Yes, I know, you're already going "Well, you must be using the other volume key". I am not. In the last 90 seconds, while typing this, I tried BOTH vol keys again to be certain....no matter what keys I hold down, it only boots to recovery and hangs.
...
I'm stumped and hella frustrated, so I'm gonna go drown in Sam Adams and come back in the morning with fresh eyes. Any indeas?
Thanks gang, I appreciate your reading this far for the n00b
Are you able to do anything in the recovery? Like wipe cache / factory reset?
Odoslané z GT-I9100 cez Tapatalk 2
Nope. From the recovery screen, all buttons are non-responsive except home, which hides the colored text. The volume, power, other face buttons, do exactly nothing. I have the blue recovery menu and a bunch of "CANNOT READ E;\" text, and that does not change regardless of the mem card status.
SCH-I500 is NOT a Galaxy S2. It's the Samsung Fascinate, a Verizon phone, and part of the Galaxy S line. NOT S2.
This post is currently in the forum for the I9100 variant of the Galaxy S2, a GSM phone that doesn't even work on Verizon.

Sorry mate. It says S II on the back cover, so I made the leap to assume that meant S2.
If some kind mod would go ahead and move this to the right place, that'd be swell.

Have you read over Droidstyle's Guide yet? It's the noob bible for for Fascinate users. He'll describe how to get into download mode with the battery out. If that fails, you could try a jig.
From there, just follow the guide until you're where you want to be.
I've been playing around with my U.S. Galaxy 4.0 and I'm pretty sure I bricked the s**t out of it.
A black screen lights up and if I try any sort of button combination nothing happens. The screen is either off or on and black.
I tried following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386669.
But Resurrector fails to detect my device.
I get the feeling I'm SOL, anybody want to confirm this? Or provide whatever options I have left?
I appreciate your time.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hmm at that step, the only thing that can save you would be to have a usb jig and to try to flash the recovery package from here:
