Stuck at battery while phone is off.

Well me being the idiotic adventurous person. I tried to CWM my phone to ICBINB, and so everything went through ya know. then I rebooted. it got stuck once again. Now it won't go into dl mode or recovery. when i plug the usb it goes straight to the sign with the battery, but even that got stuck. so i tried adb reboot download and the device isn''t found. So did I like screw myself over? the only way for me to get to the Samsung GalaxyS 4G Screen is without the usb. So anyhelp on how i can fix this.

Did you try getting into recovery i.e.,hold volume up + volume down + power until recovery comes up. If you made any backups and you can get into recovery sometimes you can reboot a saved backup.

Also to get into DL mode hold volume up + volume down and while holding plug USB into your phone keep holding volume buttons till giant triangle appears

Even if the chargin battery comes up keep holding the volume buttons? cause the battery you know how it's suppose to charge with the green. Mines stuck it has the loading circle and the battery picture is blank. so it's like stuck there, should i just keep holding those buttons? and i've tried alot of methods already so far none have worked. I really don't want to have to buy another phone.

Pull the battery and then try getting it into download mode

Had the same.problem.as you. Gingerbread bootloaders.
open odin on your pc and connect the usb to your phone. Pull the battery and hold volume down + power button and put battery in as your holding those two

Actually no. I tried using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157593 and I literally did everything precisely, then i rebooted. then i came across this horrible problem. So I don't really know if it was GB. but what rom are you using?
I figured i'll just cut my losses and stick to KC1 Stock +Root Froyo 2.2.1

Try what Ricky said that's what meant pull battery hold volume buttons plug in USB then put battery back in. You're soft bricked you can get out of this. This is why you have to read read read. Always start where it says READ THIS FIRST when your joining a new forum. Do yourself a favor and check out the Bible in this forum its packed with everything you need. In the meantime I'll try to help you out the best I can but I have to go to work in a half hour.

Hahaha Ricky was right I was able to get into ODIN, and now I'm gonna flash back to KC1 . If I'm going to flash a ROM i'm doing it ODIN style. I'm a failure at CWM.

Right now I'm running dsexton's ICBINB rom. I was running krylon's Black Ice

Odin is a safe way to go. Happy flashing ;-)

Thanks steelain!
AND STEELAIN WHAT!? HOW ARE YOU USING THAT!?!?!
I TRIED DOING IT AND I FAILED. omg, fml. what did you do? Like Exact steps i need to know what I did wrong.

Flash using the noobs guide to odin found in the bible thread guide section, but instead of downloading kb5 from that thread, grab the stock deodexed kc1 from the odin rom section of the bible. Get into download mode by pulling out your battery, pressing both volume buttons and plugging in the usb cord.
I kept telling you to read the bible thread and the directions in each thread! But this is a soft brick and you can fix it, so it will be ok. Search for the bible thread! SEARCH!! Know what you are doing before you make a change. Just odin for now and get that running. I can give you very specific directions in a bit on how to flash a rom. Let us know how it goes
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

Dont' worry i already flashed it back to the rom you suggested (KC1 Deodexed) what im fine with ODIN, i know how to use it. what im struggling on is the ICBINB Final ROM that Team Acid released. I've tried it twice to get installed and ive failed each time. because it won't get passed the dang splash screen where it says Samsung GalaxyS 4G, and you cant use odin with it. it has to be CWM i believe

Are you on red cmw? Chances are your not so you have to check your mounts on recovery very important probably causing your brick

If you can get into download mode use Odin to flash another rom.

What Exodian said, but make sure you have some charge on the battery first. Else it might happen again.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Try Odining the KC1 ROM posted by RaverX3X if you can get into download mode. That usually clears up all problems.

get a usb jig $6-$8 soft bricks will never be a problem.

[Q] Phone will not boot

Hello,
So I was trying to flash back to stock after a failed attempt with cyanogenmod 10.1, and stupid me accidentally hit the phone button in Odin. Now my phone will start up, show me the "galaxy s3" screen and not do anything after that. Furthermore, my suspicion is that my home button does not work (even though it was working perfectly fine this morning). Because of this, I can't enter into download mode. My phone is effectively bricked. Any help or suggestions?

Randomly got it to go into download mode after hooking it up to the wall charger. Fingers crossed.

Even after this, it still won't boot correctly.

What did you do after you got it into download mode? You're going to need to Odin back to a full stock ROM

I plugged the phone into my computer and chose the correct file under pda. Then once everything seemed ready, I hit start. Odin gave me a "pass" and everything.

Looks more like you need to flash GB bootloaders. Qkster has a stickie that talks about it and using Heimdall.

This happened to me when I tried to update to the official UCLB3 using Kies Mini. I flashed back to stock using GTG's Ultimate Unbrick and then used Kies Mini to update to UCLB3 (giving me GB bootloaders). I've been flashing ROMs since without any problems (after rooting and adding a custom recovery, of course).

Does Heimdall recognize the phone? If, yes flash the bootloaders. If not, report back as to what you are doing to get to download mode.

And when you get into download, do you:
Take battery out
Hold volume up and down in, no power button
Plug USB into computer
Then put battery back in?

[Q] Infuse SGH I997 AT&T brick [HELP!!!!!!!!]

Hello all. I've seen a few similar cases, but I still don't know how to go about it. I bricked my cousin's Infuse 4G when I tried upgrading to 4.2.2 using rootbox rom. Now its stuck at samsung logo. CANT enter recovery or download mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

List the steps you used to try and upgrade and will be easier to help fix the issue.

Thanks, I followed the guide on this page teamandroid. com/2013/02/17/update-att-samsung-infuse-4g-sgh-i997-android-422-carbonrom-jelly-bean-custom-rom/2/ (can't post links. Yet ) that's how it got bricked. I've been finally able to go into download mode and Odin sees it on my pc but it reboots after 10 seconds or so. any idea about this?

Okay its gonna sound dumb but give your phone some time to charge. Next look in the infuse xda thread and get the heimdall one click back remedy .... For some reason Odin is great but the heimdall is more stable. Go to download mode and just flash back to stock.
Look for qkster thread for the heimdall and instruction.
Good info on getting to 4.2 or three is go to scott.harts thread and read the op for the proper instructions on working up because u have to go to rooted froyo the flash to GB then flash to ICS then finally to the jellybean ... I know there are short cuts but u can end up with headaches I prolly seen them all
PS. Make sure u turn off all antivirus software on PC it can screw up flashing process

Oh. Will do. Don't know if its ok but when I connect device to charger it doesn't show the battery bar like it normally does, it shows a loading symbol. Hopefully its still charging. And it keeps restarting every 5 seconds

Did u pull battery and leave out for bout 5 mins

Thanks for your replies. I'll try a few options and let you know how it goes. I think it's the battery cus I could turn it on without connecting it to power and it doesn't turn on by itself when I insert the battery. But now I cant turn it on. And the rebooting process stops when I takeout the usb cable

Okay, decided nit to leave this thread hanging (irrelevant I know). I got a fully charged battery and was able to flash desired custom rom to device and now running smooth on 4.2.2 rootbox rom. thanks xda

Cool glad to hear your running.
