Hi guys,
I figured I'll post again here since I think I bricked my phone.... I was trying to install Eugene's Vibrant6.zip and I got stuck on the Vibrant Logo with Samsung at the bottom. I tried to reset with both volume buttons and power button and got to grey battery and nothing else...
What I did prior to this was I formatted system and data on the recovery screen as per some posts here and it would just boot into a loop. Windows won't recognize a device and it just shows grey battery image and it doesn't seem to be charging. Anyone can help me?
EDIT:
Out and in the battery, plugged in to USB and it just loads the battery image and it's all grey color as if fully discharged and just stuck on it. Device is also not found in my system so I can't do any adb commands. If I just reset it without the cable it would just sit on the Samsung boot loop. Anything I can do?
UPDATE: Ok, some good news! I heard the sound as it connected via USB, I can see the 2 drives, but they read as Removable Disk and I can't access them...
adb reboot recovery or download
error: device not found
What if simply format the drives via Windows right click menu? Will that do any good or bad? What are my options here? Any help will be appreciated!
UPDATE: Well... looks like this is pretty much a dead phone.... I right clicked and selected Format in My Computer and it just says There is no disk in Driver F: Insert a disk and try again.
Can I a mount an image somehow via MagicISO? Or is there something simpler that I just can't figure out?
Again, thanks for your help!
Thanks.
Has anyone experienced this or am I the only one?

Sorry I have never heard of this or witnessed it while flashing anything to my device. Obviously the battery screen signifies that the phone is off but is in charging mode and hitting the power button will boot the device up. (I'm sure you already know of this). Never heard of it being stuck at that screen after flashing. Hopefully you can get this solved soon. Good luck

Slow down for a second. Your phone is definitely not bricked. Ive been over the edge, and been able to bring my phone back to life.
To clarify, you flashed vibrant6.zip through clockwork mod, and then the phone got stuck on the samsung S? How long did you let it sit there?
It sounds like just your ROM is messed up.
Are you able to "get into recovery"? Holding both volume buttons while you power on the phone, without it being plugged into usb.
Do you have Odin? And have you ever used it?
Its totally frustrating when your phone gets messed up and you don't know what to do.
I flashed the stock ROM via Odin and then wanted to install Vibrant6.zip. For that I entered into a recovery mode via Clockwork and as someone in the other thread advised, I formatted system and also data, don't recall exactly. Then it looped to a standard recovery mode and I just rebooted the phone. This is where it got stuck... Vibrant in the center and Samsung at the bottom of the screen. To test it I left it like that from night till this morning. In the morning I woke up it was on the same boot screen.
Before that at night, after seeing it hand at the boot, I held both volume keys and power, waited for it to reboot, and immediately it showed a circular progress bar, but not moving just highlighted the 12 o'clock bar and second later I see the battery image all in gray and nothing else. It just sits on that grey static image without actually charging it (no green section or flashing dots)
Boot logo only appears if I am trying to reset without the USB cable. On the boot loop I plug in the cable and I hear the USB connecting it, I see the 2 Removable disks, but both inaccessible and adb commands don't recognize the device.
Very weird, as in turned off mode it's not charging at all.. just shows this grey battery image with a circle progress froze on 12 o'clock bar.
That's pretty much it.... I was never able to enter into recovery nor download via the buttons. It would just always reboot into this grey battery screen....
Completely helpless.... I did order a new battery from TMO, maybe the battery is fried and that's why it's not charging and just sits on this stupid static grey battery screen.

Holding both volume keys and releasing power once screen goes blank, only show Vibrant logo again... I have tried this a million times
With USB cable it shows grey battery screen, without the cable just a Vibrant boot loop...
I'm assuming that you have the Samsung drivers installed.
Try the following steps:
Take out the battery and then put it back in but don't turn the phone on.
Plug it via USB.. does anything show up on the screen?

Yes, I have the drivers installed as I was able to locate my device and use adb commands to enter into recovery and download. Also Kies worked.
Doing what you asked simply load the grey battery image and nothing else with a progress bar not spinning. Just sort of hangs on this image and that's all.
Booting without the USB cable loads the Vibrant boot loop. Connecting USB at this boot loop state, would play a sound as if it connected to my windows, but I can only see Removable disks that are inaccessible and adb doesn't find the device...
Very strange.... trying to use the button keys to enter into recovery or download is no use, as that just won't ever happen, even when phone was working fine.
Any other suggestions? I would return the phone for replacement... but I am not sure how it would look with all the files still on the internal disk including root if I am not mistaken... I had only few hours of sleep because of this headache

Are you sure that you're doing the right things to get to download? I've been in this situation and I wasn't able to get into recovery but I was able to get back into download mode.
I believe if you return it back and they find out it was rooted, they will charge you for it. If not, it'll appear on your bill.
I'm sure that you're doing the wrong things to get into download mode. If something is appearing on your screen it is a soft-brick and you're not bricked.
1. Take out battery, put it back in. (to turn the phone fully off)
2. Don't turn it the phone on!
3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button!
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen (powers on its own when plugged in)
IF the phone screen does 'turn on' after being plugged in without you hitting the power button, so far so good.
5. Now while it's on like this, hold the volume up and volume down buttons.
6. Hold the power button as well as the volume buttons until the screen goes black.
7. As soon as the screen goes black, let go of the power button! But DON'T let go of the volume buttons!

A tip to get into download mode is to put the phone HORIZONTALLY (sideways) and it will make it a lot easier.
I am pretty much positive about it. I know a lot of people can easily enter into recovery or download modes, but I know many can't and I am one of them. It would just load the grey battery image instantly as I let go of the power button.

3. Plug the phone into your PC, do not hit the power button! DONE
4. See if the phone shows anything on the screen (powers on its own when plugged in) FIRST THING THAT APPEARS IS A CIRCULAR PROGRESS BAR THAT CHANGES TO A GREY BATTERY IMAGE WITH A BAR IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. STATIC IMAGE, NOTHING ELSE.

THE STUPID GREY COLOR BATTERY IMAGE APPEARS AS BEFORE....
I'm thinking maybe battery is fried and that's why the grey color screen appears and not the usual screen where you see the battery charging...
After reading this thread it's clear that my handset is one of the new ones that have recovery/download modes disabled via the volume+power buttons.
So that pretty much covers it... I hope TMO will not ***** about the files that are on the internal sd that I am unable to access and remove... unless anyone else has any fresh ideals how to gain access to the disk
I think I might have a similar problem.
I accidentally deleted the touchwiz framework so I can't do anything ON the phone. It boots up, and gets me to the lock screen. As soon as I unlock, I am greeted with dozens of unending force closes.
I can get into both download and recovery mode, however, I have not been able to get ADB to recognize the device. I am attempting to push the stock ROM to the internal memory to flash over everything.
I'm not sure what to do to get ADB to work but it's driving me nuts!
Stuck at vibrant? I have a fix
Check out android Dev Section... I figured out how to access download mode or stock recovery mode when you are stuck at the vibrant screen!!!! BACK IN BUSINESS VIBRANT OWNERS!!!
i got the same problem and nothing seems to work

Here's my issue.
I can't get into Recovery or Download and computer won't see phone to Odin.
I've got drivers installed and AIO Toolbox as well as ADB(which won't work because of computer not seeing phone.
Using the manual option(vol+ vol- power), nothing works.
I've done all the tricks like unplug it then hold vol keys plug it insert battery..
When I do plug in the phone to to even just get a charge in it goes the the battery, but my is is frozen or something. doesn't turn green or have a charging animation. After about a minute or so it was start up and boot loop. I read something about a bad battery? I've got two of them and they seemed fine before..
Before all this I had to Odin and go to stock. I was attempting to get ics back but I was being lazy and trying to do as little as possible..bad idea. I was following slim ics install and flashed cm9 daily, slimics and commons..and now this..
I'm not sure what to do..I usually search around xda or google..10 hours later.. idk..Anyone able to give help please?

Try asking another question. But I suggest using a USB jig. They usually work. Then odin

Did you ever get it fixed man? I literally did the very same to mine a while back and It works like butter as we speak. It is fixable with a mini-usb jig or dongle. You can make your own with about $3 worth of parts from radio shack but I recommend buying one, it will be easier. I for the record made mine simply twisting together the resistors and though it was tough to touch the right pins it did eventually work and get me back into download mode.
Hopefully you already got it fixed though. If not I can help you out.
Well, after spending almost 11 hours trying to boot into recovery or download, I know for sure that there is something going on with my phone re: hardware locked. The date on my box is 7-16. It is an early Vibrant. But no matter what I do, I cannot get into download or recovery which means my ****ing phone is literally worthless.
I have tried all possible thousands of combination's of buttons, batteries, and cords while booting and nothing happens.
The Vibrant logo shows, then it shows the pink, annoying as hell T-mobile logo, than goes to the Galaxy S logo which loads for a little bit and then just leads me to a black screen. Eventually the 4 buttons on the front of the phone turn on and then nothing else happens. It will just sit like this forever.
I know all I need to do is get a working ROM loaded but it is literally impossible to do so.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Or are anyone else having the same problem?
I guess the only way I can get a working phone is to get in touch with T-mobile and do a Warranty exchange. That's a damn shame too, because I will be without a working phone for a week.
What about using adb?
adb reboot recovery -or- adb reboot download ?
I had a hw locked vibrant, never tried the adb reboot download, recovery did work.. I added another line on my account last night for somone, who got a vibrant, theirs wasn't hw locked, so I traded 'em ;P
Agree with the above poster I have been stuck on the vibrant screen or dark screen and adb still worked to save me
when i try to use adb, it just tells me that it cant find the device. i'm not able to boot into android OS at all.... screen just hangs. so my computer is never getting a chance to see my phone hence why i cant use adb to reboot it into recovery or download.
I believe your device has to go into recovery mode then check with and devices and if you see a device I THINK it is and reboot download, I am 90% certain

i do believe i have the correct drivers installed. i was able to use adb to run lagfixes before i was having this problem. when i boot my phone, i get a sound from my computer saying that it recognizes a usb device. the two drives in the vibrant show up in My Computer but i cannot access them as windows says they are not accessable at the moment.
at what point will adb be able to recognize my phone when booting? no matter what i do when i try adb shell i get error: device not found
It could be the phone not bring in debugging mode, either because it's been turned off or the os isn't getting far enough to turn it on. I think I've been able to get adb to recognize my phone even while it was booting up (at the white vibrant screen). Maybe you can try adb then?
Same problem here. I probably just have to sell it fast on ebay or something. Hopefully some kind of fix starts by the end of the week. First phone in my smartphone life to brick from a simple Voodoo lag fix. Please XDA gods find a solution.

nope, no go. adb will not recognize my device no matter what. and the device isnt loading the OS so i cannot turn debugging on. i guess this is a real "brick" then.

thanks for the suggestion. i found your thread and went through the steps in the OP... still no luck. no matter what i do, i cannot get passed the black screen the loads after the galaxy s logo. i also cannot get into download mode or recovery no matter what combination of button presses i use.
just do the following , i used to have the problem of going into the download mode and this is what realy worked to me :
1- turn off the phone.
2- plug in the USB cable.
3- wait until the battery green charging start.
4- press the vol + , vol - , the power botton together.
5- when the screen gose black release the power botton only.
you should now be in the downloading mode

I just fixed this on my phone. Your phone will go into download mode. Plug the phone in and wait for the battery symbol to fully load. Hold Vol + and _ and PWR until it goes black, then release the PWR button only. It will go into DL mode. Fire up Odin, and flash the "Froyo that does not brick" ROM. It will boot into the i9000 recovery mode and give you an error. Hold the Vol + and - and PWR again and release PWR when the phone goes black. It will go into DL mode again. Now with Odin, flash the factory firmware, making sure to click re-partition this time. After the phone reboots, it will fire right up into the factory ROM.

this is exactly the method i want to try. but unfortunately i cannot get the phone into recovery or download mode. i have tried at least 100 times now with many different combination's of plugging the usb cord in and pressing the volume and power buttons.
two ideas: one, is it possible that i wiped recovery and download mode from my phone on accident? the reason why i ask is that i was super tired and flashing roms and kernels to my phone. i flashed back to my original stock rom and then i flashed the kernel. for some reason, i selected wipe date/cache in Rom Manager before flashing the kernel. i have no idea why i did this. seriously. totally noob move. so im assuming i have a kernel flashed but now there is no ROM installed for the phone to boot into.
two, if above is not the issue, than im going to assume that the phone is not recognizing any button presses while its off, so when i turn it on it just recognizes that the power was pressed and ignores the volume presses, thus not booting the phone into recovery or download.
edit: i should mention again that at no time does adb recognize my device. so i cannot use adb to reboot the phone into the mode i need.
just a comment for the OP - the vibrant isnt worthless, it is something that YOU did to get the phone into its current state. So dont blame the phone for something that it didnt do on its own.

I understand what you mean. I appreciate your criticism of my original post. Let me say that I wrote it while frustrated. But I know that isn't an excuse.
The device is fantastic. I know that I did this to it myself. It's unfortunate.
Anyways, I received a replacement phone. I will be more careful this time.
My samsung vibrant running 4.0.4 ICS zenwich 1.8.4 randomly shut off today, not even able to turn on, it was the Sleep of Death I have got before, so i pulled battery and reboot, still nothing.
The phone now boots, but their is no display
The phone will literally turn on, have the 4 buttons light up on the bottom, have the screen be responsive to touches, but the physical display is off
I can unlock my phone by swiping, hear the volume up sound, even dial calls by blind touching. It is the same idea as a PC that is plugged in, just so VGA cable to the monitor.
I have tried rebooting to recovery, download mode and tried to heimdall, but it never finds my device, i tried to sdk in and reboot to download mode via cmd prompt but no luck finding device too
I am all out of ideas and nothing is seems to be working
Any advice on resolving this issue would be appreciated

You may've gotten into recovery, I can't really get into download mode like that. Try this:
Unplug USB & remove battery
Insert battery but do not power on.
Hold VOL-UP + VOL-DOWN
Insert USB and wait a few seconds, while still holding them

Ok that works, I'm defineatly in download mode, the device shows up in ODIN, but not heimdall. I am not familiar with ODIN, how would I go about flashing the ICS zen rom? I found a tutorial to flash back to stock ROM and wipe all data, but I would like to be able to just reflash the ICS rom

If so, that's good news and means your screen is not shot.
Try to get Heimdall to work. Are you in windows? Then you'll need to uninstall the samsung drivers and do this (from CM update guide):
CM update guide said:
1. Run the included zadig.exe in the drivers folder of the Heimdall Suite.
2. From the menu, choose Options ยป List All Devices.
3. From the drop down, select Samsung USB Composite Device or Gadget Serial.
4. Click Install Driver.
NOTE: A prompt may appear warning that the installer is unable to verify the publisher of the driver. Ignore it and select "Install this driver anyway."
5. Heimdall can now be used safely on the Windows computer.

Once heimdall is running, try grabbing the boot.img out of the zen zip and do this:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel boot.img
See if anything comes of that.
The screen never turned on.. it just went into download mode and i was able to see from ODIN that it was recognized. So i ODIN'd back to stock rom, i heard the phone reboot, but still no display.
Like before the phone's screen is 100% responsive, i can unlock the phone, hear the usb plugging in noise, just no display. It just blows my mind because the screen works but its not on.. I am very confused

That's not good. Your phone might be done for then. I once repartitioned with no partition files and still download mode worked on a fresh battery pull.
Maybe try leaving the battery out for a while and see if it fixes itself, since it seems to be an electronics problem, maybe something needs time to reset or something.

my xt890 lcd screen and digitizer were broken so i changed them and the phone was working fine for a week, i then wanted to update to kitkat through oem update; everytime i tried it would give me error . i then read that since i unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone and installed cwm recovery i couldnt do an oem update and i had to do a factory reset in order to update through oem, so i did just that ; after the phone finished factory reset and booted i proceeded with oem update while the phone was charging, everything was going fine the file was downloading, i went to the bathroom and came back the display was black, but touch screen was working fine...through more searching i read that this could be from the update, and i should do another reset... since i couldnt see anything even recovery menu. i downloaded moborobo so i can see my screen on pc and proceeded to factory reset ... now i cant even see through moborobo and im stuck. i think im stuck in recovery screen, but no way to be sure , hence i cant get usb debug.Please help.
usually when i mess this phone up i am able to use the companion to flash it back to stock. i tryed to flash magisk and now the light flashes when plugged into a power source and the phone does not turn on at all. if i hold volume up while turning on it boots into fastboot mode because i see the blue light and i was able to use flashtool and its fastboot tools to flash system.sin from stock firmware but that has not made a difference. i have tried to get it into download mode(upgrade mode) by holding volume down but it continues to boot loop. if the device is not plugged into power and i hold volume down and power it boots into recovery and i click both safe mode and factory reset but both turn the device off. any ideas?

Inside the SD card / SIM card slot is a small orange or red button, press with a tooth pick or a pin untill you feel vibration and then try to reflash.

i held the button in the sim card slot until the phone vibrated but what's next? i tried the companion and flashtool but the only thing it lets me do is flash the system, which does not fix my problem still, what is that button?

the only recovery available is the stock one that says power off, safe mode, continue boot, factory reset... none of them do anything....this device does have a locked bootloader, it uses a recovery like many motorola's do... its a software recovery so its gone lol
You should be able to use flash tool to flash the proper ftf file for your device. That is what you are trying to do right?

So, if you hit the flash button on flashtool, tick the flashmode and after preparing it asks you to power off your phone and plug your USB cable into your computer and then press the volume button "down" while plugging in the USB cable to your phone, It should enter flashmode and start a automated flash. This is not working?

I'm not understanding how it is bootlooping. Your phone should be off (power off) when holding down the volume button and plugging in the USB. Is your phone powering on at this point to bootloop? If so you might have hardware problems Is all I can think of.

the phone started bootlooping after flashing that zip. so that rules out hardware, and when i say boot loop i mean lights flash screen stays dark..im trying to figure out if there's a fancy way to fix this through fastboot
depends on wich ftf was used before and bootloader some of them can enter flashmode just by put on the otg cable
It was running 5.1.1 and it boots into fastboot when I hold volume up, but just lights and virbates when holding down for upgrade mode
Same problem. z3v, accidentally flashed a wrong firmware zip via TWRP.
Now if I push the power button, nothing happens.
A long push causes a short vibration and nothing else.
Yellow rest button does not change anything either.
If I connect it to the PC, the following happens: Red led lights up briefly, phone vibrates, green led lights up briefly; whole sequence cycles after that. Now the only thing I can do from there is hold volume up for a couple of seconds, then the phone enters fastboot mode. Blue led lights up continuously. Flashtool sees the phone in Fastboot mode.
However, where to go from here, I cannot see. Any advise?
I had this problem once. It might be your usb cable try a brand new one that rated for data also not just charging. I was trying to root my phone at work and it wouldnt work and when I got home I tried a different usb cable and it worked.,

I am no closer than when I posted this, until there is a bootloader unlock witch in theory can be done through fastboot, we are s.o.l.

aaa,It's very easy.you can use flashtool to flash a new system. but you must be in green light.only it.you also can be flash.sure,if your phone can't get into system,it only loop at"SONY".You touch the power and the volume up and down. keep 7s. then the phone will get into 3E RECOVERY,you chosed power down.and then the phonwill be power off. Now you can flash you phone.
If you phone can't get into green light.you can use the tool Z3X easy tool to save your phone.or it will be a brick.
my phone cant be start.it have became a brick. Good luck

I have same problem if you resolve it please help
So i was using RessurectionRemix (a version from last month) and recovery twrp 3.1.0-0 and the phone was working great!
Yesterday i left my phone charging over night and in the morning i wake up to my phone bootlooping!
So i tried different things including everything it says here https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/guide-hard-brick-fix-qualcomm-hs-usb-t3492949 without luck
I can get it into recovery and fastboot but as soon as i let the key combination go the phone stops and just shows a black screen (screen is on) and i cant get into qualcomm recovery to flash!
And the only way to shut off the phone is by holding power + vol up + vol down!
Any solution or suggestions?

connect phone to computer, try force shutdown phone by hard button, ater phone shutdown, immediately release power but keep both volume. Phone maybe will enter Qualcomm flash dead mode, and Flashone will regconize com phone (refresh nedded)
Hope you success ! And believe, if a phone can flash with Qfil or Flashone, almost that phone never die (software)
Are you able to connect to the phone via Vysor, either via Chrome browser or as a standalone app on Windows PC when you do not see anything on the phone screen? Please post if Vysor install goes thru successfully. Hope your developer options/USB debugging are on. I assume your phone boots but may have display issues either hw or sw.

Phone gets recognized but not long enough to do anything (windows makes sound but doesn't install anything and doesn't show up in device manager)
try this guide
https://www.gizmochina.com/2016/11/20/leeco-x820-max-2-super-unbrick-guide/
You have mentioned that you are able to see the device in recovery and fastboot till you release the buttons - does this mean if the buttons are held say in fastboot mode you are able to see the device via "fastboot devices" or in recovery the twrp screen or nothing ever shows up at all? Are the buttons clicking properly? Check individually to make sure - particularly the power button. Does it vibrate at any point of time when you press and hold the power button? Are you able to see any backlight when you say the screen is on?
If there no backlight shine a torch or sunlight from the side of the screen to see anything at all on the screen.
Vysor reports apk not installed when it attempts to download from PC to phone but fails. With Vysor you will have two windows one showing status of phone - this is the main window. The other is the mirrored one - that of the phone when you click view on the main window. I forgot that the phone requires approval to install the apk. Please see the attached thumbnails. Keep touching the screen about 3 cms up from the bottom of the screen (not the phone) to see any change. Hope your touch works.
I know it is quite frustrating to try a number of things. I recently went thru the same on Galaxy S4 to make sure the phone but for the screen works OK prior to ordering the screen. Besides in my case developer options was disabled and touch also did not work. It took about a week of learning and trying to see something on Vysor. I never have used a Sam phone till that time this broken phone was handed over to me.
After a lot of trying i found out that when i keep pressed power + vol down or vol up while connected to pc and device is off it gets recognized as
qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 long as i keep the keys pressed so i tried the flashone method but it just says could not connect
Are Qualcomm drivers loaded on your computer? I have not used flashone. I used QPST to see if phone is connected. I am not sure if they are same.

It doesn't stay long enough in recovery or fastboot to do anything it shuts off after a few seconds even with the buttons pressed after that it just shows a black screen
Phone vibrates when i press power and shows leeco logo (not os logo) and after 1-2 seconds screen goes black and phone vibrates again and shows leeco logo again and just continues looping
if i try to press power + vol up normally it goes into recovery but as soon as recovery is loaded screen goes black (screen on just doesn't show anything) the same goes for fastboot if i press power + vol down it loads fastboot but after 1-2 seconds screen goes black
if i keep pressing keys the phone just stays longer in recovery/fastboot but only 4-5 seconds
I assume you have adb and fastboot. Since you say the screen remains on when booting to recovery open a command prompt at the directory where adb is and issue a command "adb devices" without quotes. Does it just exit without showing any device or throws up some error? Try this irrespective of the black screen.
Have you looked at and tried what is given by @HTC-TYTN2 at post #8? It is for Le Max 2 and you will find a link to Quallcomm drivers too. Do not bother that the link mentions X820 even your Max 2 is 821, 829, etc.
since it happened after charging, you might want to check your cable and battery. best is to get a cheap usb multimeter.
Gesendet von meinem LEX820 mit Tapatalk
I too thought it could be the battery based on that's the screen goes off. But he also mentioned that the screen remains on but nothing to be seen after a short while. Wanted to suggest slow speed charging probably via a laptop usb as I'm not sure if he used high speed charging resulting in battery issue.
Did you solve the problem?
My phone just died completely! No response at all anymore. I'm contacting the seller now to send the phone back.
Looks like it is a hardware defect! A pretty odd one but nothing i can do anymore. I send it back and post what the problem is as soon as get any information.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help!
