So i need all the help i can get. I tried installing Cynogen mod 10 from 9 and i got stuck on the bootloader screen. so i tried flashing darksidewipe to wipe the cache but that didnt work as well. So i tried restoring my old rom i backed up and it just freezes in CWM. so i tried pulling the battery out and going back into CWM and tried factory resetting but once i pressed that it goes to the loading screen where it explains that its wiping.. then it just freezes.. tried everything and nothing works.. has my phone been bricked?????
please help...
thanks everyone.
Soft bricked sure. But luckily not hard bricked. Flash the original stock tar through odin. Should rewrite your ROM and also your recovery too. You'll be fine. I have faith in you.

If you're genuinely concerned that you've bricked, pull your battery out for 30 minutes then put it back in and try to force your phone into download mode. If it gets there, restore your phone to stock with ODIN. If you're able to do that successfully, you were soft-bricked (at worst). If ODIN doesn't recognize your device or your phone won't boot into download, you've got a $600 paperweight. Not necessarily applicable to this situation, as it seems you've already resolved the soft brick, but something to keep in mind going forward.

I recently upgraded my P920 to 4.0.4 using xbsall's port, then installed BadSoul's mod. Today I downgraded to GB again, following the guide because my phone had become so slow as to be unuseable. When I reached the android setup screen, my phone displayed the message "Not enough free space. Clean up your data and try again." Attempting to connect to a wifi network causes the same message to appear. There are 5.57GB free.
Because of this, I can't install apps from the market, and the same method of rooting that I've used before (megatron_windows) isn't working either.
I tried using CWM to restore my backup earlier, but after doing so I was unable to boot - the LG logo would appear for a couple of seconds, then the phone powered off again.
So...my question is, how can I get my phone restored to a useable state again, if that's even possible at this point?
Silly question bit... did you try factory reset?

I hadn't actually...thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it and ...you are amazing, thank you -so- much. I hadn't even thought of that, too much stress. Factory reset worked
So...I guess there are no silly questions then

can you guide me how to do it.
i am not familiar with that.
please
It's a cache overload.
You don't need to factory reset , just clear the cache it'll solve your problem.
Should you encounter this problem again , factory reset would erase your data and leave you with a lot of work to be done , erasing the cache is rather painless.
Cheers.
Hey guys!
I just bricked my phone by wiping dalvik cache after installing marmite. Now my phone is just showing a black screen when power on.
Ive tried using the UnbrickableMod Tool by Adam, but my device does not get recognized.
What do I have to do? I love this phone, and I do not want to buy a new one yet
>>devil188
So , I just did use the ubtool again , but this time on linuxmint, which gave me superuser access using that. But I only get far till <sbl inj. failed>
Gonna take a look now who over dudes solved that, but still feel free to help me
flash the non-cm version of marmite.
how can i flash something if i can't get into download/fastboot etc. mode ?
Anyway, I still can't get through the SBL injection Failed thingy, i think i gotta make a hardware modification (unbrickable mod) :/
Well, ain't nobody helping me? Doing that UnbrickableMod looks extremely hard, because the things you gotta change are very very small!

If THAT ALONE caused the brick you're describing, maybe nobody has the ability to understand what just happened.
More details? :good:

Try Nexus Root Toolkit (for windows).. Though I think you'll need to be able to boot to boot loader??.. (vol + & power)
If you can't do that, read the threads on Odin, it may help..
Doesn't work either, actually I can't access anything on the phone :/
Gonna take a look at the odin threads
I apologize if the easy and simple fix to this issue has already been posted, but so far, I've read so many different "solutions"...none of wwhich has worked.
Yesterday, I accepted an OTA update, after which my tablet never booted up again. It will partially boot up, but will get "stuck" on the glowing Samsung logo. It will not proceed any further, and will just sit there on the logo until the battery wears out.
I've been able to get it to the menu to wipe data, etc (holding down the power button and volume up), which I DID, only to have the tablet reboot to the glowing logo and sit there yet again.
I don't know what to do. It doesn't sound like Samsung has a fix for this software problem? Or is there really something wrong with my tablet that I'd have to send it in? Sounds like others who have done this have received their tablets back, "fixed", only to have the same thing happen again when they did the OTA update, OR if they did the update through Kies.
I'm a newbie. I'm not a techie. If there IS a fix for this, can you give me STEP-BY-STEP instructions on what to do? AS if you are talking to a child? haha...thank you so much! I'm SO upset...my tablet was beautiful, and now it's just dead...

And exactly HOW do I "reboot into recovery"? Everytime I push power plus the volume up button, I get to a warning screen that says something about "warning, you are about to change the OS...continue or cancel" I cant get past this to even GET to the menu of "reboot", "wipe data", etc.
HELP!
(Thanks for responding!)

Alright...I did get it into recovery mode, I factory reset it, then hit wipe cache partition. It started the process, THEN I saw "ERROR" flash quickly up on the screen. Then it began to boot up again, and here I am, STUCK ON THE GLOWING LOGO AGAIN.
This didnt work. Anybody else have a different suggestion?

Alright, so the file I think I need is P5113UECLK7. Anybody have any ideas where I can download this? ALL LINKS I FIND are to site that have been shutdown, and it is NOT on the Sammobile site, either.
