I think I am in trouble

Hello Everyone,
I have a rogers captivate. I was trying to update to 2.3 android using Odin . I followed the whole process as stated. After rebooting, I got AT&T logo??? and the phone will not boot, go into recovery mode, or connect to my computer. Have I messed up my phone. Please advice.

how did you get an AT&T logo if it doesnt boot?
also what part of the process were you at? gingerbread shouldnt give the white ATT screen
it should give the "i9000" screen with gingerbread.
or were you flashing stock ATT first?
there is nothing wrong with having the wrong boot screen AND A FIX WAS RELEASED LAST NIGHT FOR GB
the fix for stock ATT has been out for a while. AND MY STOCK ROM FIXES IT TOO!
did you read the part about the button combos changing with gingerbread? or if you are on the ATT stock, use old button combos. Also you should have found my stock rom link before flashing, info there too!, its in my sig,
you have to give us more information to help you.

I beleive I was installing it to stock ATT first. That is when this happened. I was on Odin one click install. I remember the phone saying "do not disconnect the target". then all the installation was done from odin. This phone had 2.2 from samsung.Right now all that happens is that the phone starts and a flashing att logo on white background stays..
please let me know what other info is needed. i will post it all to the best possible

boot into download mode and flash ATT stock again. something messed up
are you using the "one click odin" or the other odin?
and what gingerbread are you trying after?

how do i do that. i have tried vol up+down+power combo. still the same flashing logo with no menus. i was using one click odin. and i was still on installing stock android. never got the chance to go to 2.3

If you can't get into download mode through the 3 button way you might need the jig. You got lucky since you're still able to boot up some have perma brick so try the jig and flash back to stock

HOLD VOL UP + DOWN
the plug in USB to PC.
keep buttons held until screen comes on!
i asked which gingerbread you were going to do AFTER

What is the build number on your phone, 4 numbers printed under the battery, mine is a 1010 for example, which mean oct. Of 2010 is when it was built. Some phones 1010 and after will not accept the one click odin rom and cause a bootloop like you are having, Try an odin package from TRusselo's sig instead.

my packages dont have the bootloaders. that might be whats screwed up with blinking att boot.
need download first before anything. i do have a GB bootloader package separately

something else:
try removing battery,
plug in USB to PC and Phone
Hold both Volume buttons
put battery back in.
should get you download mode

I really have noidea about what gingerbread i was after, i guess i wanted just the stock android without any custom software from samsung. I am total noob here as far as androids go.
the number on the battery say 2010.12.20 and the last forr nos under the battery at s/n are 11.02.
what is a jig. how do i use it. My phone cannot connect to the computer.
When I try to reset my device by any method, whether usb or power combos, it goes into either a. ATT logo flashing every few secs. or b. battery charging logo with nothing happeining.
Also my phone cannot be seen on my computer

gingerbread isnt for noobs
NOT THE DATE ON the battery
UNDER the battery ON THE PHONE
4 digit number
if you dont know what a jig or gingerbread or any of this stuff is,
you shouldnt have touched your friggin phone!

My apologies. the number is 1102. I understand I have screwed up. Any chance of having a working phone again.

GO GOOGLE A CAPTIVATE JIG AND BUY ONE
you wont be able to make one if you cant follow instructions.
that is your only hope. if not your phone is F'ed up perminantly.
your ONLY HOPE AFTER, is if your phone *somehow stops* turning on *forever*
and you send it back for warranty, and play dumb! ..... ..... ... .. .
PROGRAMMING a phone cant be learned it 5 minutes.
HELL you cant even read the friggin instructions (written for experienced users) in 5 minutes
this was an expensive lesson on researching and learning before doing

Sorry for stepping in..
Yes there is. Might be a little complicated tho. You have some reading to do my friend.
Tru, I'll let you handle it but HiTechChef, you might've to go in for waranty and exchange it saying it did that after you tried to update through Kies. They'll check it and give you another one.

Thanks I will try this method

Lol That kind of subtly is lost here... noone is picking up on your suggestion...

and thats how its going to stay,
ive said it before with almost the same words.

correction of the original problem is necessary,
research is salvation,
resistance is futile.

no, and i don't know how it works

Research. Do some.
Answers are out there. Trust the joker.
Ps. Trust me, your not the first to brick. There is a user that has patiently sat with a soft brick for over a week.
If you did what should of been done before you had a chance to brick there is always a way.
Debug enabled?
Rooted? (In some cases not even necessary to be fixed)
ADB. Almost anything can be done with adb.

Hey there, aforementioned bricked guy reporting in.
Check out the Odin flashable stuff in another thread; that may be your best bet right now. If you can't get into recovery as usual, pop the battery, plug in usb, hold volume up and down, and out the battery is while holding those buttons.
If all else fails, AT&T will replace your phone for free if you got it on contract. I was worried about them denying me because I had a Captivate kernel (it displayed Galaxy S i897 on the splash screen) but they took it back regardless and I got a new phone out of it. Just play dumb with them just in case. ;D
For future reference, don't do anything to your phone just yet that isn't in the development forum. This is not a Galaxy S phone. You'll risk bricking it if you get too ahead of yourself and current development for the device.

try heimdall. there is a windows version. post results.
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
you will need the visual c++ redistributable package as well
this is like odin but you will need 7zip to extract the phone and csc files. you will also need the bootloaders and pit file if you repartition which i believe are in the extra files .zip lost1 posted

i have no luck also with heimdall i this there is problem with the ROM file and there is now ROM except the one posted by lost1. and body can get me a new ROm please that will be my last try
thanx

I never got heimdall the work either.
To be honest, if you did what I did, I'm almost positive an easy fix without much previous knowledge of Android is next to non-existent at this current point. Either there's something wrong with the files posted or we both destroyed it beyond what anyone here can help with atm.
It may be easier to return it, play dumb, obtain a shiny new Infuse and know to play it a little smarter this time. ;D

Hi ,
i tried all the ways to get this phone back but like i said there something wrong with the rom file because i went back and tried to use odin one click and it start to download the file and then stopped with error and after that the phone went dead no life at all and i gave up after a week of try, i went and play the dumb game and got another one. thanx for the advise and tthanx for everybody who tried to help

I have used the jig and it works fine. however, if he is getting the phone and pc with yellow sign between them, that means when he ran odin he selected re-partition. Dont select that one. you can still re odin with the phone and pc with yellow sign between them. download mode after doing that again

Bricked Phone after flashing Steve0007's img

I was one of the unlucky testers before Steve0007 closed the thread. Did anyone figure out how to save our Sensation after the bad flash? My phone does not light up or respond to any button presses but when plugged into the computer it is recognized as an "unrecognized device."
I guess this is the risk we run being early testers. Hopefully someone figures it out otherwise I've got myself very expensive paper weight.

I assume no two button rescue? And this should be in q/a or general
Can you get to the bootloader?

Wrong section. And that happened to me when i got an hd2 and i bricked it. Luckily it was 2 days after i bought it so tmobile gave me another because they thought something was wrong with it. But next time please post in the right section. Thanks.

Thank god I didn't flash it, I just finished downloading it when people started reporting issues.
Anyway, I'm sure he didn't mean for it to happen. If you have a spare battery, have you tried putting that one in?

These things are usually flash at your own risk.
I would never flash a ruu, unless it's official it could cause problems.

Also, if it doesnt work and if you have tmo. Tell them bs and they will get you one. Just some advice and please dont flame me.

tried spare battery. same result. And i'm sure he didn't do it maliciously I've flashed many of his things before with no problem. Just hoping to get some help. Phone doesn't respond. Can't get to bootloader. Only sign of life is windows recognizing that i plugged something into the usb slot.

Yes as I said, this happened to me exactly when i had a tmo HD2 and flashed a european ruu and it was dead. I tried everything. You will have better luck to talk to your insurance company.

Have you got ADB installed on your pc? If not start downloading and installing it. I will find some links, in just a sec.
Edit:
New to ADB CLICK HER
More to set up path CLICK HERE

http://www.mediafire.com/?rrwi4f258lie1r7
Extract to system 32 or sysWOW64 (64bit)
Try 3 finger salute (VOL UP,VOL DOWN + POWER) with your phone plugged into pc and pc volume up see if it makes a sound like a device has connected.
Whats was this RUU anyway?
if you just need ADB you dont need all of the stuff above or to set up a path if its extracted to those folders

What does it recognize it as?

unrecognized usb device

Ok guys, it looks like the firmware that I posted to another thread from 3.06 bricked few devices. I have flashed it and it worked fine, so i tried again with the package i posted and indeed it is corrupted as it bricked also mine
My device does not respond, so I would think it is dead
I feel sorry for those who have bricked also theirs based on the package i posted.
I am closing my Rom thread and starting now my Rom developments will be for my own use. I will not publish anymore my work.
Again I feel sorry for those who have lost their devices.
Steve

ok so now his rom thread is closed. Why not keep it open and work together to help those with bricked devices attempt to restore them to a working state?
That way you keep your reputation rather than running away after bricking devices?

[Q] Hard Bricked GS3

Hello, I just got my new GS3 yesterday. Eager to root and ROM and all the fun stuff. I rooted and unlocked, and used Odin to flash CWM Recovery. Flashed the latest version of Android Revolution HD 16. I wiped cache, dalvik, the whole 9 yards. I did not WIPE boot.img though. Flashed Android Revolution 16, it all went good. Clicked Reboot Phone in CWM Recovery and nothing. No LED light on when plugged into USB or via wall charger. No Download mode, or recovery. Nothing, like nothing at all. Anything you guys suggest?
EDIT: I am not sure if it is Hard Bricked. When I plug it into my PC, it makes a sound. Also tries to install a driver and fails every time.
EDIT2: Okay guys, my fault. Downloaded a ROM that was meant for a different model/type GS3 forum when I have a Verizon GS3 (SCH-1535). Anyone know how to fix this problem? Please disregard this incorrect forum post.

If you flashed anything related to the international S3, Google search J-tag! Or return the device and play dumb...

You need J-tag.

Gotta be super careful and read every single word of a ROM thread and if you aren't sure if it will work for your phone or not, just ask and someone will say either yes or no

I guess so. I read something about plugging the phone into the pc without the battery so the red light would come on. Then, you would hold a combination of buttons, and while you're still holding them, put the battery back in while you're still holding them. I guess J-Tag is the only way? Where can I get this? Someone link me. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me. Needed a j-tag but risked calling Verizon told them my phone wouldn't come on all they asked me was if I damaged it with water or heat. (Either Verizon doesn't care or actually they just scrap the phone) I was rooted and unlocked but flashed the wrong carrier rom. Now I have a replacement phone that cost me $0.
They sent me the 16g and not the 32g by mistake I figured I've pushed my luck enough

First go to Get.cm download a d2vzw rom. Put it on your sd card. Put the sd card into phone
If you have ADB on your computer do
Code:
adb reboot recovery
You should boot in Clockwork Recovery.
From there flash the D2VZW Rom, Wipe Data,
That should save you.

How do you figure? How can you adb recovery when the device wont turn on? The device is hardbricked plain and simple...your advice is simply false hope.

I do have a question for the op and the other guy who flashed an international ROM. Were did you get them and how did you find then ( like was it a site you googled?) I've noticed a lot of these lately and am wondering if it's something that can be avoided (besides the obvious read what you're flashing)
To the adb guy there us no recovery on his phone it was overwritten by part of the international ROM. he needs to JTAG his phone, don't call Verizon. You did this to your own phone, pay the 60 and learn your lesson.

One day someone is going to find a way to unbrick the hard brick, lol. Eventually. Anyways, if it was "dead" then why would it show my S3 as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"? and attempts to install a driver. I'm gonna try to find the right driver to manually install, and troubleshoot from there. I mean come on guys, be optimistic. How great if this problem was RESOLVED? Also, the download mode got wiped/overwritten from a different ROM for a different model of the GS3. What about the Recovery? CWM? If I can just magically, somehow, maybe even push some type of command. Even maybe ADB? Or something in the terminal. I'm really trying to find a solution. So in the future, we will have a SOLUTION.
Anyways, I'm going to be shipping my GS3 Monday or Tuesday for Samsung to repair (If they can) or replace for no charge!
Wish me luck guys, gonna be really thinking out of the box.

Hope you can figure it out. But someone had a way to fix a hard brick.... The JTAG
Sent from my SGS3 running Eclipse 2.1

Okay guys, I've actually have gotten some good progress, I hope! I came across a thread that a guy named (therockk) he also, hard bricked his S3. Sent him a PM, and he told me he got ODIN to recognize his hard bricked S3 "WITHOUT" download mode. He said he found a driver for QHSUSB_DLOAD and manually applied the driver update. His PC, then recognized his S3 as a ID CODE: COM10 - I do not know what that means, I asked around. Some people say that it is the code for when your phone is connected in Download Mode? Nevertheless, this is good in my eyes. The phone as now, recognized as COM10 in ODIN, in its hard-bricked stage. This could be that also, maybe, the phone will be recognized in ADB/Fastboot commands. Maybe we can get something going here guys! I'm trying to look on the bright side. I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: Okay guys, was looking at some screenshots of the CODE ID's. Like I said, my buddy "therockk" said he got ODIN to recognize his phone as a COM10, while being hard-bricked. I am guessing there are different CODE ID's for each model/version of the S3. I did make an observation that he, has a different model S3 ( i747 ) and he got his to see COM10. Which means it was Added!! - My Verizon S3 (SCH-1525) should come up as COM4 when the PC recognizes it. When I do get my PC to recognize my S3, I will confirm that my SCH-1535 phone comes up as COM4, if not, I will confirm the correct CODE ID. therockk's i747 came up as a COM10, that is confirmed.
EDIT 2: Okay guys! Updated the driver successfully! QSHUSB_DLOAD is now Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8). I feel like we're getting closer. Now to see if Odin will pick it up!

I can probably help you through this problem after work tonight if you are still having trouble. Just pm me around 10pm est

Thanks for starting your own thread.
Screen stays black, power button stays black, can't get HTC screen or reovery up? If that's the case, it's bricked. You can try the Unbricking thread, you'll need a linux boot disk if you don't run linux and some time and patience. I'll brb to post helpful links.

Good luck.

Did you flash anything with ROM Manager? I'm not sure it's supported for the One XL, but that could have changed. In the early days, a lot of people bricked because it was flashing things for the quad-core phone, which uses a different partition layout.
Was it functioning correctly, but then the battery went dead and it never revived? That sounds like the power management bug. Some people, unfortunately, have had their phones just die like this, like it just decides the battery is dead and won't recharge. If that's the case, you're due for a warranty replacement.

thanks.
i thought opening new threads with similar topics was considered kinda spamming, thats why i posted there. sorry.

well, the problem is it dint let me to do a lot of things trhough rom manager because it wasnt the premium version but it did let me change a bootable setting and i do not remember which. the phone after that worket normally. but my stupid self forgot i have changed that in rom manager, went to work, my battery emptied during the day and the phone went off. when i plugged it when i came home it would not charge or turn on. so my guess is it is trying to boot something i set up but doesnt have enough power to finish it and cannot recharge further because it is stuck in that booting... if I understood anything about this things in these few hours i was trying to be smart and jerked off around the phone
i guess i deserve it
thanks

Did you flash anything with ROM Manager? I'm not sure it's supported for the One XL, but that could have changed. In the early days, a lot of people bricked because it was flashing things for the quad-core phone, which uses a different partition layout.
Was it functioning correctly, but then the battery went dead and it never revived? That sounds like the power management bug. Some people, unfortunately, have had their phones just die like this, like it just decides the battery is dead and won't recharge. If that's the case, you're due for a warranty replacement.

Charge it overnight and see if it turns on at all afterwards.

There's bit of etiquette involved. If the thread is "mature" in the sense that the OP's issue has been resolved, or multiple discussion threads have evolved, then popping in with a related question is fine. It's just not polite to pop in on the second page of someone else's query when people are still trying to help him, unless you have the identical problem.

It's possible, but sounds unlikely. I don't think that just changing some setting would stop it from at least powering on. ROM Manager would have had to overwrite something critical that would prevent the CPU from even finding hboot. Had you merely messed up some boot setting, you should still be able to get the boot screen, which would then start looping.
Plug your phone into your PC and see what pops up in Device Manager. I expect you'll get QHUSB_DLOAD, which means you're bricked.

guyz. what about this line?

I've never used that unbrick tool but I'm assuming you would need to be able to get to the bootloader to get it to work. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hex edit your imei into bakp4 You cannot skip any steps. Did step 3 bring up your emmc partitions? if not you can't move any further. It's a full brick.

thanks,
i think i got ack something like sda1 sda2 sda3 so i am still hoping.
i have just opened my phone to find out there is no imei code printed anywhere in it.
so i am digging through my **** to find that little sticker which i think no longer exists.
heh, am i lucky.
is there an imei printed somwhere within the phone to your knowledge?
thanks a lot man

Needs to be the same amount of partitions as shown in the picture.. I think it's 32? if I'm not mistaken. If not, then you cannot recover.
no, it's not printed on the phone anywhere. It's in the Hboot or in the box the phone came with. that's it.

If you got it from AT&T, contact them and ask for bit. Whenever they activate a phone, we store it in the system and keeps track of what phone the customer is using.

I doubt AT&T can tell you unlocked it. They'll assume it's a power issue like Telus did for me. HTC may or may not warrant it. Mixed results from xda members

It should be in the EFS nv_data.bin. folder.
