I installed the 20120803 version of CM9 last night and upon reboot, the phone did nothing. The screen didnt turn on and no red light during charging. I left it charging all night and it still doesnt do anything. I connected it to my computer to try to use adb to get it to restart, and the computer doesn't find it.
I checked the battery with a multimeter and it reads 3.7 volts
The latest builds perma brick your phone. That was discussed in the thread. I hope It's not but if you flashed it It's bricked. Get a replacement.

The latest one from dmeadows' site causes perma brick? I thought it was his own test build he was working on.
on s-off phones, yes, it can brick your phone. s-on phones seem safe. This is only 1 build of aosp that is out there that is doing it. Not sure if that is the version you installed. Call verizon and tell them your phone won't turn on and that you've tried 2 known good batteries.
It was bricked. Went into verizon and ordered a replacement- will be here by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Activated my droid x for the time being
Shouldn't they take that bricking build down or is it not publicly accessible?

I thought it was only on dmeadows' test build that had perma bricking, but the one on his site caused my phone to brick and is still available.

It's kind other people's faults if they don't read and download a build which is obviously going to brick (It's been stated across these forums) It's up so people that are S-On can download it it still and see how it runs.
lol
What I read from dmeadows' posts is that a build he was working on caused the brick, not the one that has been available for over a week
It doesn't matter anyhow. It also says flash at your own risk several people bricked.

My Amaze 4g is rooted and rom'd etc.
A couple days ago the screen died. Like, it did something kinda of weird (flashed some grayish type colors) and then turned off. The phone still works etc but the screen is dead.
So, I can get a replacement phone but it is rooted and sending it back is too risky.
Is there anyway that I can restore my phone without having to see the screen?
Or, has anyone heard of this happening etc?
Thanks
You'll have to boot into fastboot and relock the bootloader. It might be a bit difficult to do so without actually being able to see what the screen should be showing, but overall it's a two step process: relock bootloader, load and flash stock RUU
So can you walk me through it? Lol, since I can't see the screen? Like, can you just direct me on what buttons to push.
do you have it insured? Maybe you might lose it tonight?
What i suggest is watch a youtube video on how to relock it and hwo to flash stock RUU adn get the timing.

You might as well just send it back because even if u figure out a way to relock it, it will say "relocked" therefore either way they will kno u unlocked it. But that shouldnt matter because the screen going dead is most likely a hardware issue which if it is it should still be covered by the warranty whether u unlocked it or not

No it only says it "may" void ur warranty.. so as long as the problem wasnt caused by you changing the software, like flashing roms and soforth, then they should still honor the warranty. And to me it sounds like a hardware issue so u should be fine.

Are you sure it's not just the backlight that's out? If it is, you can just grab a really bright flashlight and shine it at an angle, and you might, possibly, be able to see your screen. It will be faint but it might be enough to help you relock it.
Just crack the screen, tmo will charge you 50 bucks extra if the screen is cracked. At least this is what they told me when I had to get a replacement for my wife's phone.

Ok,
I took my phone back to complete stock last night using odin, this morning I wanted to update the phone so my kiddo could get the new market, after downloading kies and running the update the phone will not turn on at all. it does not show when I connect a charger and I cant get it to go into download mode. Any suggestions or is this phone now done?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
I Tried this and it didn't work. I really believe my phone is completely dead!
So there is no sign of life at all? No leds or any backlight behind the screen? If not, then you are hardbricked. Kies is notorious for hardbricking phones.
You can call your carrier or Samsung and tell them your phone was bricked using THEIR software and see where that goes.
Sorry for your loss.
Nothing at all idk what they will say since I've had the phone since brand new

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.

Because if you took the 4.3 or higher Ota or have a phone pre-installed with it, then you can't revert back to an older version of Android where the bootloader can be unlocked. This service is supposed to be able to do that with the hardware they have.

Well I have my phone back and as advertised, they took my phone back to 4.1.2 with the VRAMC3 bootloader which is as we all know, unlocked. I'll tell you that it was worth every penny. And it wasn't the "lazy way out". It was the only way out. There is no way to unlock the updated bootloader, which you would know by reading the threads for this phone.

I can vouch for Josh. He does get busy. Just think about all the phone he gets sent. I will tell you that he is good for his work, will be fair, and if you have an issue, he will work something out with you (this is from my personal experience) He had my phone for over a month. But apologized for it and did not charge me the fee. (not saying he will do this for you) But I know it's hard but be patient and he will get back to you.
