Mesmerize won't boot

My phone will not turn on. I was doing a factory reset, but it seemed to freeze, so I did a battery pull. Now my phone is either stuck on the samsung logo, or an empty batter symbol with a white circle. Please help.

Only thing I can think of is to try to get into download mode (remove the battery, plug the phone into a computer, and press the volume down button). If you can get to download mode, you should be able to flash a stock rom via Odin (instructions for this can be found in multiple threads on this forum.

Yes, do that.

download odin and the stock 2.1 build. then place your phone in download mode. flash the rom the way the instructions tell you too. then walk into your local uscell and complain til they give you a new mesmerize. that should solve all your probs

Got mine to reboot
i got my samsung mesmerize to turn on by pressing in the startup button on the right AND the volume control button on the left (up, don't know if that matters) at the same time for a few seconds (at least 5) and eventually the SAMSUNG logo appeared and it is now working fine.
I hope this helps anyone who has the same issue!

lately EVERY time i reboot my phone (running ics build 2, 3 and 4, stock kernel) it gets stuck on samsung logo.. somehow my phone will only boot into the frigging cm7 recovery which as im sure youre all aware is rather useless to fix any problems im having in ics and leaves me unable to flash, backup, or restore anything. it's quite frustrating and i have no idea how to fix it but by going back to bml, re-partitioning, then odin ei20 modem, cm7 fixed recovery, then flash back to ics but doin this every reboot it getting very tedious..
ive read about recovery loops, but the fix doesnt work for me as i cant mount the ICS /system partition in cm7 recovery...and ive been all over trying a zillion things to get it to work and havent pulled dmesg or logcat but if someone thinks it would be useful ..i wish i knew why EVERYTHING is great, then BANG, reboot and it's FML city.

Boot Error

Ok so i dont know exactly what happened, but something did. I try to boot it up but i get an error that say the aplication(%1$s) has unexpcetedly quit and it just stays there vibrating. Now i have gotten to the 3e recovery menu and i did put update.zip on the sd card but it starts and then stops and it says it cant be verified. I tried putting into download and recovery mode but i cant. I cant replace or return the phone either. I have adb but when i plug it in it just comes up as an unknown device on windows and is never fully recognized. Please someone help me get this thing fixed. Idc about data being erased i just want to fix it. Thanks

Update: (i rooted with the oneclickroot if that helps anyone)
Well as i said im not quite sure what happened my friend said he was going to put stuff on there and long behold boom there it is. And as for download mode i cant go into it, and i mean i have tried like a kabillion times( sorry for fourth grade talk) and nothing ever happens it just boots into 3e recovery menu or it goes to that screen, neither of which i can do anything about. is there anyway for me to just reset everything or have windows recognize so i can use odin? any sort of mode that i could get into unless you guys can help me get into dl mode or recovery mode(besides the 3e)

no one knows anything?

It's kinda hard without know exactly what your friend was doing on the phone.
Have you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032? And tried the different methods suggested?
If you can boot into recovery you should be able to boot into download mode without any issues.
ODIN will only work if you are in download mode, also if you do the steps to get into download mode and you don't see download mode, but just like a backlit screen:
Open odin, and plug the phone in via USB, odin should still recognize the phone as being plugged in.

[Q] Beyond Bricked my infuse

Hey there, apologies in advance if I have submitted this thread in the wrong section. I really looked as hard as I could before posting.
Well I rooted my phone, got super user on there, then got clockworkmod red, and then attempted to put the ice cream sandwich mod on my phone, thats where everything went sour. Phone would not go past screen that says samsung. I tried a few times to get it to go past that point, and just nothing. I then attempted to use odin to have my phone put back, but now I cannot even get the phone to open up clockworkmod.
To put it very simply. The only thing I have access to now is the download option (holding both volume up and down while inserting the usb cable from the computer) I have searched the internet high and low for something to run through odin to put my phone back to the way it was. I keep coming up with dead links and long dead downloads. I was able to use the gtg ultimate unbrick, but all that managed to accomplish was to have my phone say at&t instead of rogers.
Im still at the screen that says samsung, with no access to a recovery menu at this point. I only have the download option.
Can anyone help me salvage my phone?
edit: I appear to have been able to reput clockworkmod back on the phone with odin. Thats all I have been able to do.

When flashing any ics Rom/port from.gingerbread/red recovery you will need to double flash...I'm seeing a lot of people.with bricks lately and I think the problem is they are not reading enough before flashing ics...
So you have cwm correct? Boot into cwm by holding volume up down and power button. If you have no roms hen go to mounts and storage and mount USB then plug it into the pc and copy over the Rom...if its gingerbread Rom.just one flash...if its ics then flash, you will get stuck on Samsung screen so boot back into cwm...you will either boot into a blue or some distorted rainbowy cwm...just reflash he Rom
If you can't do that...then idk what else to do as I don't know much about rogers phones and what is and isn't compatible with them...but u would suggest qksters heimdal one click back to stock uclb3...its always worked for me...but not sure if it will work with rogers...

Use this link/program from download mode to get to stock 2.3.6.

Wait, if you can get to download mode, you can reflash JScott's option C from here, then get into CWM red, flash the ICS of your choice, reboot into CWM blue (press and hold vol up/vol dn/power 5 seconds when stuck at sammy screen), wipe data/cache/dalvik, reboot and you should have ICS.
I understand that some people will never get "it", but reading the entire post for flashing/modding firmware is a MUST.

LG G2 Verizon CANT FLASH ANYTHING!!!! Please HELP!!

Im not a big computer guy but for the most part can figure stuff out, i have rooted several phones before and flashed new roms. I just got the verizon g2 and rooted it, then attempted to do twrp recovery, Nothing even came close to working until i read that flashify worked, so i did that and it said it worked, took 2 seconds, when it restarted it showed my ddroid dead with a warning symbol comin outta his belly. I held down volume down and power keys and it came back on. It will not go into download mode or restore mode.
I had hoped that it worked so tried to flash malladus but once again, nothing!
I have been going at this for close to 12 hrs now and i am about to just break this thing.
Please, i need step by step instructions of what to do that for sure will work.
the forums about twrp do NOT work no matter what i do. and im not missing anything, debugging mode on, connected with ethernet, all info entered correctly, files in the correct folders, yet nothing works!!! PLEASE HELP.
I just want to get that rom! lol
