You are likely going to have to flash stock using odin. axura has a
Lagfix installed. It was a mistake to try what you did

There well not be issues after flash
Open odin, battery out, sim and external sd out, battery in back cover on, volume up and down while plugging on usb. Should be in download.
As far as roms we can talk once you get to stock

Im bricked please help me!!!

I was replacing the stock recovery file with Krylon's Modded Recovery Binary.
I deleted the stock recovery file in /system/bin (copyed it to external sd) after pasteing the Modded Recovery Binary in /system/bin.
I had the CWM 3 file already copied to my external sd card
I turned off my phone to reboot it and the phone is now stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy S 4g logo. All my soft keys are lit up too.
Is my phone bricked? How do i get into download mode? What can i do to fix this?
Im Very noob and going to have a "pro" fix if it can be.
Im a blue collar worker and dont work at a pc. Im traveling to work and wont be able to reply in real time but PLEASE leave comments. I will be checking in when i can...

I cant believe i screwed something so simple up. I should of asked for help BEFORE I was in trouble.

Hold both volume keys and then plug the usb from the computer to your phone to access download mode. If it doesn't work u can buy a unbrick jig from ebay. If you get into download mode using volume keys then flash back to stock. Phone should be turned off if trying to put into download mode

Do I have a soft brick or a hard brick?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA Premium App

You have a soft brick. This should be fixable getting into DOWNLOAD MODE and using ODIN. Do a few searches for both. A JIG may be necessary to obtain download mode as well. Search all topics I have listed in all CAPS and you should be good to go! PM me if you have any questions...

same thing happened to me, all I did was I downloaded whitehawkx KD1 kernel which is perfect because your phone will already be rooted and has the file so you could put CWM3, after you download it get into download mode and flash with odin, if you need any more help please let me know

Thanks for the good news. I feel much better knowing what needs to be done. I will search your topics. I have been reading everything I can on this subject. I probably should have done that before I made this post. It's my first brick and I was desperate for info.
I'm going to try to fix it after 2pm (with help)...I'm in work and its the longest day of my life today. Lol.
If I need to PM you I will for sure.

I'm very noob but there are people who will help you on here for sure.
I had a "soft brick". Phone stuck on Samsung galaxy s 4g splash screen with my soft keys lit up too. I searched and read in this forum. I went to our 4g development section and found a post called Noobs guide to Odin.
From that post I downloaded the samsung drivers I needed for the pc I was using (32 bit in my case), downloaded Odin 1.7 and then downloaded krylon360 stock/root rom.
I ran Odin, got my phone into download mode and then flashed the rom with no problems.
I'm new and in work so can't be too much help. Everything you need to know has been talked about on our forum. People will help you. Good luck!...
Maybe you should post your own topic in this GENERAL section to let people know you are bricked. Put I'm bricked in the subject line. A fresh topic might get peoples attention faster. Like I said I'm new.

SGS 4g T-959V soft brick fix

JUST AS THE TITLE SAYS
Follow the directions that the prompt. This doesn't flash a rom, modem, or a kernel it just helps you get out of a soft brick and go in to download mode.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
DOWNLOAD LINK BELOW

For a post in the dev thread you give really vague descriptions as to what this contains. What version of AndroidVirus did you put in this? Did you include the KG4 version of the KJ6 version? What about modem, kernel, feature x?

A quick opening with 7zip shows this installing an application called jDesktop?
My spidey sense is tingling...

I'm super suspicious here. If your soft bricked you can still get into DL mode just by the battery pull method. I've never had that fail on me. What does this do to achieve the end result? And what is jDesktop? Google says an old java code is that right?

What the crap is this. Hahaha

QHSUSB_DLOAD mode brick

So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...

Trying to flash just the stock ICS recovery? I didn't even know you could do that without flashing the stock ICS ROM as well. Assuming you actually can and that's not what bricked you, I'd love to keep that piece of information in my back pocket for future applications.

This is exactly why I never use goo manager or ROM manager to flash any thing or download any thing to many times have I read about ppl bricking because of these apps.

Did the same thing to mine, except I was downloading a recovery for another phone. Wasn't going to flash it off course, but GOO did it automatically. Hard bricked my phone just like yours. If it is still under warranty take it to AT&T store. They'll replace it for free. Don't worry, they won't be able to flash it back to stock or get it to boot either. Just play dumb and say you tried to start it up after charging and it just wouldn't turn on. I was in and out with a new skyrocket in less than 20 minutes
