[Q] Semi Bricked Phone

So sad. Just bought this phone. I tried to upgrade to ICS via but used the Galaxy S firmware (gti9000) by mistake...turns out ICS isn't out yet for my phone, the SPHD710. While flashing I managed to upload the "modem" file but when it was writing the file (it says "wait 2 minutes for write") odin froze.
and now..
Here's the situation. The phone will boot into the gti9000 firmware (i.e I get to home screen--so I think I'm semi-bricked), but WiFi won't work and the phone crashes a lot. Basically like a "safe-mode". Here are the conditions I'm dealing with
1) Windows 7 will not recognize phone when plugged in. It charges but does not show up in device manger
2) Odin does not recognize the phone at all. It was recognized for a split second on my laptop when I was installing/reinstalling drivers. Can't replicate this.
So basically I'm stuck. I tried going into recovery mode and applying update from SDcard (to revert to stock) but i the SD card won't mount
Anybody help??? PLEASE. I don't want a $500 paperweight.
I can give as many details as you like.
Thanks so much!

Frustrated Guy !HELP !

Hello everyone ! I will try to explain my problem as clear as possible, hope it will be solved.
-Samsung galaxy GTi-9300, this was rooted few months ago.
-It was working fine until I uninstalled touchwiz using Nobloat app. Now, nothing besides SAMSUNG appears in the dark screen. I am not able to do anything or see anything else.
-Being smart, I connected phone with pc and opened kies , but pc/kies do not recoginise the device.
-Then tried to unroot the device, where I failed again.
So, my question is how I can install touchwiz in this case? Or any other soloution ?
ps: (there is no micro SD card in device, no back up etc )
Great thanks in advance !
Was your usb debugging turned on? or do you have a custom recovery like clockworkmod or twrp? then you can install a launcher.

I guess it wasn't turned on and custom recovery you mentioned were not installed. But there was Titanium backup installed, if that helps ??
So if you put the device in download mode, does ODIN recognize it? If so, you should be able to restore to stock from there. Your data may be lost though if you are unable to obtain files from the internal storage.

Galaxy Sl boot loop after physical Damage

At first I should say that it is not my phone and don't know how exactly what happened to it
One of my friend gave it to me and told that after dropping from 1meter on the ground phone
start auto rest some times in day and after one month it got boot loop.
he take the phone to a person to fix but that guy
Said :the hard don't work.
so he decided to buy a new phone and now he asked me to find a way for fixing.
I don't believe that the hard don't work cuz I have damaged my phone hard by repapartitioning from Emmc to MTD.if the hard dosent work the phone shouldn't turn on.
Now I have a galaxy sl which could be turned on and can go to downloading mod. what should I do? his owner said he have flashed a Rom once but no result.
is there a way for fixing?
We can't say if there is a hardware damage, for sure. But, if you want to flash a new firmware, check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
If the phone works well after flashing new rom, then all is fine. If not, you can go to Samsung's service center and get it checked.

Is there a way to install the cwm from stock recovery?
As far as I know, you need to connect your phone to pc to install any cwm. try reinstalling the Samsung mobile drivers, and reconnecting the phone in download mode. as long as odin detects phone in download mode, everything else is secondary.
if the internal sd is gone just stick in an external one and try flash a new rom it will install to external sd (if works like the i9000)
have you installed kies or the usb driver only package ?

the sd card work(dont know about internal)and when i go to stock recovery it detects but. ihave installed samsung usb driver
and i had galaxy s3 too so i know how does samsung devices work..i am wondering is ther a way to install clockwork recovery on galaxy sl with stock recovery...cuz when the phone go to download mod windows says unkown device .
i dont know what should i do
with odin 1.85 or 1.83(later versions seems to have some issues with this phone) even if windows doesn't recognize the phone it must be shown as a connected com port (with my original rom the phone has never been recognized by the sistem)
if this dosen't occur i think you cuold try to use hendmall on any linux live distro or adb but with standard recovery i don't know if you can access the phone trought it
the install update from .zip in standard recovery if i remember well dosen't workin this case it gives error probably because the original samsung rom packages are recognized by the SS_DL.dll or any other file inside of it inside all the official roms but this is just my modest opinion i'm not sure at 100% on the ddl story you have nothing to loose anyway so you can give a try with this way

[Q] Soft Brick sgs4g HELP PLEASE!!

I accidentally flashed a kernel for a vibrant onto my sgs4g. This isn't my first flash and I wouldn't consider myself a beginner. I just didn't realize that my phone wasn't the vibrant until after the fact. After I flashed this my phone would only boot into cwmr if the sdcard was in. I'm assuming this was because the update.zip was on the sdcard. However if i tried to flash from zip on sd card the device said that the sd card wasnt detected. I'm stuck on the samsung logo screen and I have been able to get the phone into download mode. I tried using heimdall to go back to stock gingerbread, but my computer wouldn't recognize the device. I have another sgs4g that works fine. I put it in download mode and the computer recognized it just fine. I'm pretty sure that if i could get my computer to recognize the device that the heimdall would fix it. If anyone has any idea how to get my computer to detect it, it would be greatly appreciated! Not sure where to go from here. Is it bricked for good if the computer wont recognize it? Thanks!
Even if it doesn't recognize your device using heimdall, just double click on the Jar file and you will notice that the status of heimdall says Connected. Flash once then flash again without leaving heimdall with the option flash boot loader checked. The package of one click contains the drivers within it, you don't have to do anything. It is really a one click solution, double click actually on some systems

No, it doesn't say connected. The computer will not recognize the device. If I plug in one device it will connect and the soft bricked device will not. Is there anyway I can force it to connect? To be specific I flashed fluid kernel for the vibrant onto the sgs4g and it soft bricked it.
