I was attempting to ODIN back to stock and it hung. Waited like 20min and got frustrated and pulled the battery. Now I get this screen. Is all hope lost?
I did try searching the forum before posting and all I found was soft brick action.
HELP!!!!
Since I a noob, no pics. The screen has cellphone with and error triangle then a computer. I can link to image in a pm.
So put it back into download mode and use Odin again.
I cannot get DL mode. The three button/battery out mode doesn't work. All I can get is the phone!comp icon.

that isnt a hard brick you can still get into download mode and ODIN usually works from the screen with the triangle/computer. have ODIN open then pull out your battery then try reconnecting

You are correct sir. I switched USB ports and ODN saw the phone. I couldn't get it to any other mode other than phone..!..comp. Tried ODIN and a little blue progress bar showed up. Thanks for the replys fellas, if you ever need a bartenders expertise, hit me up.

Also want to let you guys know, if you didnt know already, that the usb jigs work on this device.

just curious what methode are you using to enter download mode? Did you try recovery for giggles?
i have tried both download mode and recovery and just trying to let it boot up normal and it will not do anything in all three just a black dead screen
Try leaving the battery in when you go to download mode. Also leave it in when flashing.
if it wont even power on in any way or go into the download mode you might be bricked...I did this before and I had to exchange it at Verizon..luckily since it wouldnt turn on they couldnt tell what I did to it...hope you can get your issue resolved
Ha a true brick. Finally someone using the terminology correctly. A buddy of mine has this happen with his galaxy s. He got it exchanged in store no questions asked. btw Sorry to hear about your phone

1/2 Brick
Hi
Sorry to hear about your issue. I am at half brick now. Been at multiple spots learning here but never completely no visability! 3/4, 7/8, right now in a flash it does not see my phone (no network) data side is fine but can not get or receive calls. It is not the SIM card (according to VZW). Data side works fine 4G etc, emails but no phone. A great PDA but not a phone. No one has answers but I belive to be a cp_modem.bin issue download hangs at around 98% in what does a boot 2nd boot on the screen in the download then says:
Wait, VIA Booting ..
VIA rest done. ..
Downloading to VIA...
To everyone the {Kangfuscius.tar} has helped me when I thought all hope was lost, even in a partial download it helped to bring me back.
Any suggestions on files for the phone tab in ODIN all I can think of is, it can't get worse. The FEDEX guy kow knows me by name between the Fascinate's and now I guess the Charge.
Any help appreciated,

I don't know why your phone is booting into 'VIA' mode and don't even know what that is so I couldn't say a fix other than odining the usual stock rom/pit combo (leaving the battery in when flashing in odin also and uncheck the 'auto reboot' option)... also phone tab/button is NOT supposed to be touched in odin, only PDA, PIT if needed, and Start
Where did it fail in the Odin flash? The only way you should be bricked is if it failed while flashing boot.bin or sbl.bin, otherwise, it should still go to download mode. Have you tried using one of the Force Download Mode jigs/dongles that the GSM models use to get into download mode?
i don't recall where it failed at but it will not not respond to anything with batt or without where can i find the gsm software i will give it a try before i call insurance a link or anything would be great
what gsm models are equivalent to the charge

SGS2 is not equivalent. Just search for galaxy s download jig and i'm sure you'll find what I'm talking about. It is the same thing for all the SGS phones, and some have said it works on the 4G versions of the phones as well.

Hi, I had the same thing happen to my first Charge. I could not boot my phone even to the samsung logo, so I searched around the Internet. Somehow I think it was the Captivate trick worked. I took out sim, battery, sdcard>plugged in usb to computer>held up and down volume together>put in battery; miraculously it went to download. I tried every other combination beforehand and none worked, so I know this method works.
Unfortunately this was before we had IMNUTS Pit file and a odin flash would not change anything so I could not recover and I flashed a Pit that was not for the Charge. Wrong answer! After that it was in the non-boot state again but the same method above would not work any longer. If your phone does not work with the method above, maybe something went wrong with the repartition and pit file. That is just a guess though!
well the jig hasn't worked yet i am running right at 300k tomorrow i am going to get a 1k and add that in also and see if that helps. also pulling all the cards and the battery didn't work either. this is not looking good i am up for any ideas that anyone has
thanks

Hey guys found a way to unbrick Samsung droid charge and revert back to stock.
1. Download and install Odin found here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1085190 ) unzip and open
2.Download this file and unzip ( CI510_VZW_EE4_ALL_ONE-LTE-CP_REV03_user_CL1014954.tar.md5.7z) from here ( http://www.multiupload.com/6WJ2SFUKO6 ) or original thread where i found this file is from here ( http://androidflip.com/android-2-3-4...talling-guide/ )
3. set phone to download mode, do this by taking battery of phone, plug phone into computer and hold Volume down, a Yellow triangle with a working android will appear.
4. Click on odin you will see your phone come up under ID:COM, now do not click on anywhere but on PDA thats where you will have to find the file you downloaded on step 2 and make sure is the unzipped file. once u find it, click on open then start.
5. Be patient this can take up some time, once is done the box will turn green and say pass, at this time your phone will no longer have the Yellow triangle and you can unplug and place the battery back in and turn phone on.. once again be patient when turning phone on it will take a little while to complete.
i tried this and it does work, my Droid charge was bricked and now it works.
Thanks to xda-developers where i was able to find odin and also thanks to androidflip.com where i was able to find the Droid Charge stock rom to flash it back using odin.
Hope this helped everyone needing help.

Dustin, were you able to get it working? I'm in the same boat. Right after boot.bin it failed. Which was within seconds after hitting the start button in Odin. Verizon won't honor my warranty, because I didn't buy the phone from them.
Hard Brick Fixed
If you are truly hard bricked (no download mode, no power, no nothing), you can get it fixed for $40 at mobiletechvideos.com. I flashed a file that didn't work unless I took off the md5 extension. Big mistake. After trying absolutely everything, including surfing the internet for a day, spending almost $20 to get 2 day delivery for a USB Jig that did absolutely nothing, I sent my phone to mobiletechvideos.com. Josh brought it back from the dead; don't know how, but it was the best $40 I ever spent! I think there aren't any reviews because there haven't been enough newbies like me who just can't wait for Gingerbread and bricked their Samsung Charge. Putting my review there tonight...should be first one. The reviews from all the other phones he has unbricked convinced me to try and I'm glad I did.
Many people have hard bricked their phones trying to downgrade. Give the jig a shot, but don't hold out much hope.
Personally I think there is something being overlooked during the downgrade process... Too many people are hard-bricking during the process for it to be coincidence.
Oh yes

Doing so NOW! For the same issue. My PC decided to spontaneously reboot during ODIN while flashing a ROM on My Droid Charge. Josh was quick to respond to EVERY single annoying question I had about their service. So I am doing so. If it works, I'll tell you, I'm adding a link to their site in my signature on every forum I'm a member of, even forums I have for my daughter's schooling hahaha! They deserve the references just for being quick to respond. Thanks for the info man, props to you.
I have majorly screwed up, I think.
1) Tried to root my phone.
2) Ran ODIN.
3) Accidentally had the "Re-partiton" tab checked and pressed Start.
4) ODIN hung for a while and then closed.
5) Now my phone will just do nothing. Bricked ??
6) If i power on, i see the blue light but the screen stays blank
7) I have taken out the batt as well but nothing.
8) I was trying to get i back to download mode but the light goes blue like the phone is turning on and then it blinks once and stays blue. And the screen is still blank.
Any help on what I can do at this point ?
I have tried to plug in the USB and see if ODIN recognizes it at all but nothing.
Damn Default Re-Partition in ODIN
Same thing happened to me. Had my phone rooted fine and was flashing new Clockwork Kern and Epic Touch 4G .pit I did the same thing. Done everything and still can't find a solution. Please Help? Thanks!
I did the same exact thing with the same result. Have you guys found a solution yet? I feel so stupid for not realizing I did that.
I am so sorry.....but your phones have died .

There IS a PIT file somewhere around here that could help you out if you repartition with the PIT file and also at the same time flash a recovery/stock ROM. Worst case, buy a USB JIG to force the phone into download mode.

I just bought one last night, waiting for it to come in the mail. I'll post results after I use it.
Well, while waiting for my jig to come in the mail I figured I'd give going to Sprint a shot. I brought in my phone, apparently since I had activated the phone, my insurance carried over to it. They asked me if I could leave it for two hours so I did. Since I essentially wiped the hard drive they couldn't find out why it wouldn't turn on and just gave me a new one. Problem solved.
Hey guys, I was unbricking my infuse because it kept bootlooting. During the process with odin I unplugged my phone because it wasn't working looked like it was stalled. Now my phone will not turn on I tried 2 different batteries, it won't go to download mode or cmw. Wont TURN ON! I have absolutely no idea what to do to turn it back on. Looks like its a hard brick and I dont no how to fix it. If anyone can please help me get it back on its not even excepting the charge. Please help thank you, and Happy Holidays!

I can get it into download mode but the phone still wont turn on. This all happened after i went to mount and storage and started formatting everything like a moron. All i need is to get to cmw and I can get this fixed......
When in download mode, try flashing just a kernel.

I was trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 for the first time. The process started, but failed. Now I'm stuck on the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. The device will turn off and back on, but remains on error screen. Seems to be trapped in download mode (as I can still see the download progress bar). Go Mobile and Odin say the device has connected to PC.
Anyone know of anything to fix this? Should I just revert to stock ROM and try again later?

I cannot boot into download mode. When I turn it off, it simply flashes off for a few secs then goes back to the error screen on its own. Does the same thing when I turn it back on myself. No logo screen. No droid. Nothing.
EDIT: Unplugged device entirely and retried the stock ROM in Odin. Finally worked! Looks like it might be fixed now.

I think my cord might have an issue (or they're just testy in general). I was noticing the battery wasn't fully charging for a while before all this. After the whole brick issue, I plugged it in to charge and it started flashing the "loading charge (empty battery + loading circle)" screen on and off until I unplugged and re-plugged it. I suspect that this is why the rooting failed in the first place.

Try holding down power + volume down for a couple seconds. You should see the phone reboot. When it does, quickly press and hold the home button in addition to the power + volume down to re-enter download mode. Now you should be able to flash back to stock or whatever else.

Disable Kies in Windows task manager before you use Odin or the flash may fail.
