Is it just stuck on the boot logo ? ( soft brick ) If you can boot into download mode ( by pressing power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time, then a new page will come up than press the volume up button ) if this works than your device is not hard bricked. Hard bricked is when nothing works you press the power button and the screen does not light up at all with a charged battery, and yes there is a file that you can place on your sd card to place the device into download mode.
Ok lets assume you can get into download mode. Just Odin flash a new Lollipop OS, click on rom flashing basics in my signature and follow the instructions make sure you flash The Lollipop OS Twice to get a clean install. If you do have a hard brick let me know I have the debrick file to put on your sd card, or you can buy a USB jig, or make one ( there are several youtube videos that show how to do it if you have an old plug laying around ) to get your device to boot into download mode.
It wont go to download or recovery mode. I will be glad if you can get me the debrick file

Edit: First you could try to plug your usb charging cable in to a PC and your device then try the three finger method ( press the power, menu, and volume down buttons at the same time ) to see if it will boot up into download. ( this supplies power in chase the battery is dead )
Or you could build a usb jig to boot into download mode the link is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0
Ok first its been a long time. I have three unbrick files I can't remember which one works, I can tell you how to do it.
First pull the battery then pull your sd card, hopefully you have the adapter for the sd card so you can install it in your PC. Once installed in your PC you need to format (erase) all the data on the sd card.
Now copy and paste "one" of the unbrick files on the sd card. Replace the sd card back in the device and reinstall the battery and try to boot the device. It should boot in to download mode. Then you should be able to Odin flash from there.
Here are the links to the unbrick files 1. http://www.mediafire.com/download/c396cy9uxyg7mck/debrick.img 2. http://www.mediafire.com/download/l6q1152x5c9d4h6/N900PUnbrick_IMG 3. http://www.mediafire.com/download/l290jcibb29q4r0/Unbrick_IMG.gz
Remember to only use "one" at a time, and the sd card needs to be blank before you install the files, I hope one works for you it can't hurt to try.

btw: super noob here
ok so i am getting this error and i dont know why
i rooted my phone and when i tried to upgrade to 2.2 (using odin) i got this:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
it takes me to recovery mode and just stays there with 5 options (reboot, apply sd card: update.zip, wipe data/fact. reset, wipe cache, format internal sd).
the worst part is that i found out (after research, as thus i could be wrong) that i must have somehow gotten euro firmware because my up key moves down in recovery mode and my power key isnt the "ok" key used to select anything in this damn menu!!!
ive only rooted my phone...and i got the regular update.zip (saved to internal like instructed) like everyone else (i think) + tethering and set cpu (saved zip to my external sd card)
so....i cant exit recovery mode, i cant even select any of those 5 options
i can turn off my phone, but it immediately goes back to the recovery page with the error
please please please help
mom bought me this for my birthday like 3 days ago and the walkthrough seemed easy!
i will pay and bring my phone to you if you can fix it lol
what you should do is boot into download mode and flash the stock rom.. it will unroot u but its better then not havin a fone to root at all right?
if u have troubles booting into download mode try holding down the up and down volume keys while the fones off then plug the usb cord into ur fone it shood bring u to the download mode screen.. but make sure u hold the volume buttons down before u plug it in
thanks....i would really really appreciate it if you told me how exactly to flash a stock file (put it in the odin thingie? PDA, MODEM, or CSC? is this the right file: T959UVJFD.tar? please let me know
There is a walkthrough on this site on how to use odin to flash back to stock. I believe you have the right file there. But you will probably have to flash the pit file as well. I would just to be safe. This will set everything back to stock. Odin can be picky, and make you want to cry. But relax, your still ok. You can get into recovery mode, so you should be able to access download mode. Do a little reading on the site. You should be able to find the links to odin. If you can't, pm me, I will help. I've used odin before, and even though this is scary right now, you need to stay calm. Panicking isn't goin to help. I am new on the site so I can't post links. If you can't find them, contact me, I will e-mail them to you or some thing. Good luck!
Did you get it figured out yet? ODIN should fix you up. Flash the stock build here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091 just download this, unzip it and load the pit file into the pit field and the larger file in the pda field in odin. Make sure to have this loaded into odin before plugging your phone in or it might not work. To get into download mode just power off your device and hold volume up and down then plug in your usb cable.

If I remember correctly, /dev/block/mmcblk refers to your SD cards. mmcblk0 is the internal (16GB) SD card, and mmcblk1 is whatever extra microSD card you have installed. /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 is the first partition on your internal SD card.
What most likely happened is you messed up your Odin installation, and probably chose to "reformat partitions" when you flashed, wiping your internal card, and thus essentially making your phone unbootable in its current state.
Why you needed Odin to root is beyond me, yet so is why someone would do something that could cause irreparable harm to their device do so without understanding what they were doing. If you are going to ignore the warnings attached to flashing unsupported ROMs (such as flashing an unreleased testing ROM onto a completely different device than it was intended), then you ought to at least understand what it is that you are actually doing.
Also, what does this have to do with development? Aren't there similar posts in the Q&A forum about people who have done the same thing?
that´s SD problem 100% sure. yesterday i had this problem and solved with a newone SD card. (older was 512Mb and not working, newone is 1gb and all was ok)
Were you trying to use Eugene's files? If so you need to follow the directions in his thread.

I got a same problem. As you said I tried start download mode. But the Android system recovery <3e> page still appearing. Firstly battery picture appear and then system recovery. Is there another way to boot into download mode?
There is the three button mode, vol up and down plus power, or if you plan to flash alot of rom's, get a jig. there is adb. also aio tools.
one of these should get you into dl mode to odin.
you are in recovery mode if it says "2E" or "3E" recovery you should be able to get into download mode and then you can flash back into stock.
To get to download mode plug in you usb into the computer first. then, hold the volume keys both down then plug into the phone (while it is showing the recovery mode, in other words it is still on) if it does not work, then pull out then try again a couple of times When you plug it in leave for 2-3 secs. If this does not work or you can't get it Then, just buy a Jig from the xda member connextion2005 (mobilevideotech.com I think). they are 8 bucks and all you do in just plug it in and it will bring up the download mode. From there you can do this
Get the Odin program 1.7 or newer, get the Stock 2.1 Tar file, get the 512pit file
You can find these in the general forum in the thread called Noob guide
then
Open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode. connect it to the computer it will recognize might say com8 or some other number
Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
You want to check the 're-partition' box.
Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
You the super oneclick method it is easier to root then download Rom manager and now you can flash any rom you want
Still can't mount internal SD
I've tried the above steps and was able to get out of Recovery Mode, but now I can't get the Internal SD to mount to allow me to put custom ROMs on there...any ideas??

Hey all,
My TB (rooted and running VIRUS ROM) froze earlier and would not do anything until i pulled the battery. When I did it booted up but did so as if I did a hard reset and now gets stuck in the ANDROID splash screen and will not boot up at all. I dont know what happend but is this phone bricked?
What did u do to it to cause it bootlooping
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
First off, wrong forum.
Second, the answer is:
No. If you can get past the bootloader, then your not bricked.
Reflash the ROM (don't format /data) or just a new kernel and that should fix it.
have you tried to connect to PC and run
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can also try to power off and power it on while holding on the volume down button
Boot the phone with power/vol down pressed…. will bootloader run?
Please note: if you have a PG05IMG file in the root of your sd card, recovery will only allow you to run that update. I had to remove my card, insert it into a USB/micro-sd card reader, delete that file, then reboot phone with volume down. From there, you can choose recovery and flash appropriate files. If you don't have a microsd card reader, may need to put in another phone and tehter with USB to gain access to card files. Hope this helps.
Can someone assist?
I was going from bionix V, and decided to Odin back to stock. I used pit 512 and a kernel here - the last one on the list (stock+froyo uvkb1) on this post - forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-870480.html
I flashed the kernel here as the pda in Odin. I thought this was the right way to go, but instead, I'm now stuck in an infinite recovery loop where I can't reboot and can't flash any thing else. I just boot into recovery over and over again. I've mounted the drive, deleted all the files, added back in backups, and tried to flash a ton of stuff, but I keep getting this error:
E: can't mount /dev/block/stl11 ( file exists)
E:cant mount CACHE: recovery/command
cant mount cache:recovery/log
cant open cache:recovery/log
re-partition, auto reboot, and f.reset time were all checked in odin, but nothing else.
Oh, and I can't just use odin to restore - I cannot get into download mode using either the three button method or the adb method.
Can anyone help? I seriously don't want to have to go buy another phone - mainly because I can't really afford that sort of thing.
EDIT: Appreciate people helping here - just to clarify, I don't need help with 3 button method or adb into download - those methods aren't working.
There are 4 ways to get into download that I know of and 3 are on the phone itself.
1. Power down. Insert USB. Hold down vol up / vol down, and hold power until phone starts to boot. Let go of power and hold down volume until download starts.
2. Using a command prompt and ADB, tell the device to reboot into download.
3. Reboot into download via the CWM recovery menu.
The 4th way is the homemade jig, which I don't have the tools to create at the moment. However, I may try it shortly here.
I've tried all 3 of the ways above, and I'm stuck in a boot loop. I'm also unable to disable voodoo.
Does anybody know anyway to do a full on clean reset of the phone with Odin, nandroid, etc? The issue is, all of these methods on the boards would work if I could get into download, BUT, the phone won't mount the proper files for whatever reason (error code in original post) and so I cannot get into download, the home screen, nothing but the cwm recovery menu.
You should get in to download mode and odin stock jdf, those files you flashed are froyo builds. I don't think it work's that way, you must flash jdf first.
I know I need to do that - problem is, I can't get into download mode. That's step one - I'm stuck in the cwm recovery menu, over and over, and can't get anywhere else. Any ideas?
Try this
how to put in download mode- sure fire way
1- phone off
2- open Odin
3- hold vol button and plug in USB.
I just posted a thread. My phone just keep going to DL when I switch battery.
Thanks, but no - that method isn't working. There are 4 ways to get into download that I know of and 3 are on the phone itself.

Hi, i install android 4.0.2 from : samsung-galaxy-s2-android.com version 1.1 and the video at youtube and other sites didont work all time. So i install WanamLite dxlp9 v11.5 but i didn't make full wipe( i mistake) and now i dont know what i need to do and now i can't turn on my phone (it's blocked at where is the yellow triangle from root). At pc i can't connect and when i tre to make : mount/sdcard i have an error.
Please help me!
i forgot i have a Galaxy s 2 phone
Turn off your phone.
Press vol up + Power + Main button at the Same time.
You will get to recovery.
Now flash again.
I can't make this because my phone didn't won't to mound sdcard i don't know why
what do you mean by "didn't won't to mound "
pull the battery and insert, the Vol-up+ Home+Power keep holding for 5 seconds,
you should be able to enter recovery
i mean that when i try to install zip from sdcard it wrote that: "E:Cand't mount /sdcard/"
Oh that sounds not good. Do you have an external micro sd to insert? Then copy the rom to the external.
if you are not able to install, first try all the wipe and reboot, and chek phone boots or not.
Or you have to reflash your phone with odin. Maybe the sd card is broken?
yes i try but it not connecting at pc
sounds like a break.
Can u get in to download mode?
In Download mode intra si in recovery fara probleme
The best solution for u right now is to try JIG.
I'm not sure but i was trying to flash bootleader, pit and do RePretition.
GL =]]
where i can by jig ?!
USB RECOVERY JIG search ebay .
http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&gs_n...f.,cf.osb&fp=11259e1e762a6894&biw=893&bih=471
But jig is unlikely to work as you have ICS .

Hello i got a problem im not sure but i think i bricked my phone i dont really know how to expalin it either, well i want it to update it so i downloaded update from htc website for sprint but i think i had to download it for hero G2 with i found later so i installled it i had an error phone turned off now i cant do anything with it it wont turn on only vibrate 5 times? if i connect it with usb laptop wont see it i cant boot it or nothing but when i put it on charge it heats up? any ideas?
Sounds like a brick to me... Do you get any output on screen, what OS are you using on your PC, any response from it ?
nothing happens when i use usb cable and windows 7. Today when i was trying to turn my phone on again power on/off + home it vibrated 5 times?
Pull out your battery, plug it back in, hold POWER+VOL DOWN, and it sould take you to HBoot, if you cant do that then im very sorry and your phone is hard bricked...
i was wondering would that work?
How to flash stock ROM through SD-Card
*This only works with current stock ROM or newer version. Downgrading will fail till we have SuperCID. More about that in here!
1. Run the RUU and get the rom.zip from it. (Find it in here "c:\users\%usrename%\appdata\temp\")
2. Copy rom.zip to the SD-Card and rename it to PJ46IMG.zip
3. Put the SD-Card in the card reader.
4. Put the card reader onto the USB Y-Cable.
5. Plugin the USB Y-Cable to your One X.
6. Hold volume down and press the power button while keeping the volume down pressed. This will get you into HBOOT.
7. Wait a couple of seconds and you'll see that it finds PJ46IMG.zip
8. Follow the instructions on your screen =)

Biggest question is - can You go into fastboot mode? Because there is a way to flash Your phone is You can go into fast boot, and there should be a manual somewhere here, not using One X, but hero ;]
Let us know, does the phone respond by going into fastboot.
Additionaly : how did You downloaded firmware for sprint, as You should give IMEI number on HTC site.
