Hello, I have pretty solid belief after trying to fix my phone for 3 days now that its bricked badly. I was in the process of loading a new rom and in the process of doing so a breaker in our house went out and the power in my room turned off and so did my computer in the process of putting a new rom in.
So the first thing it did was show a phone--/!\--computer symbol, and I found a few ppl with similar problems and I tried to pull battery and go into download mode by holding down volume + and volume - and put the battery in after a few seconds and then usb. No luck
I then tried to go through the other solution of downloading unbrickable infuse mod and setting that up but once it started talking about soldering stuff I was lost and I scraped that idea. I tried some small other stuff like leaving the battery out of it well I went to work. come home still no luck. Finally I tried the "well its pretty much dead as it lets try this." and I tried to flash GTG's ultimate unbrick to my phone... and I first I thought it worked.. it found my phone, and everything went smooth then after that my phone stopped working completely. No power, no logo, no sound, not even seen by my computer.
Any help is appreciated i've been trying to find and rummage through as many threads as possible and use them to help, but I'm at a loss. Going to continue but any advice would be helpful.
I'm an avid follower of this site and forum, and have had this phone the day it released. Any help is appreciated thank you in advance ^_^
good morning bump... ^_^
=\ Really need help here, Ive been lurking xda for a long time, and just haven't posted but I really would appreciate help >.<

First of all thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide me.
A while back I installed Alex.v52.ATT.162.Cube.ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363865 and all was working as expected. I decided to install Duttys_WM6.1_5.2.19700_Hybrid_V2_1_64.08.21_CubeV2_ ROM located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388947 but upon completion all I got was the boot screen. Rebooting did not help so I reinstalled the Alex rom. Upon completion of the installation process of the Alex rom, the phone tried to reboot but nothing happened. It just stayed off. I tried to hard reset and nothing. When connecting to the computer and the power adapter, the charging light does not come on. I tried to change the battery and nothing helps. At this point I am out of things to try so I am posting in hopes someone has had this issue and was able to recover the phone.
Please note that I created a separate thread for this since the Alex rom thread was discontinue and Dutty is no longer supporting the Kaiser.
Thanks!!!!
[edit] sorry, my advice wount deffently not help you here. Just saw that I adviced on another issue.
Did you at all revert from HardSPL? b/c i assume you had it at one time since you flashed alex's rom earlier.

Oh, i was confused by his statement about getting to the boot screen. Hmm, that's way over my head. You might try PM'ing Gsleon3, he is the man to fix that kind of stuff. Be nice to him though

thanks for the post skat's. Nah man i didn't know about that. I have been completely away from phone/internet for the past 2 weeks so didn't have any link to the cyber world. Just got back on yesterday and really hadn't have time to comb through everything i missed so far.
That is a bummer but i guess thats his to decide. I don't plan on getting a diamond but i hope he will cook for touch pro when that comes out.

zeezee: The phone had HardSPL v1 and I did not do anything to update or change it.
One thing I did notice when I removed the battery and used a friend's phone to test if it was working was that it was at 40% and I know that when installing a ROM it calls for the battery to over over 50%. Could this have caused the issue. I did charge it to 100% afterwards and put it back on the phone with no success.

Try holding down both soft keys and pressing the power button if that doesn't work

Unplug the device, remove the battery, take a nap (longer the better), replace the battery, then try powering it again, i had the same thing happen to me when i tried to cooking a ROM, scared the crap out of me. Thought i bricked my phone. but it came back to life after the cycle. You have to make sure that all the juice is gone from the unit, just changing the battery may not have enough time to discharge it, also make sure that the sim door is close and there is no SD card installed, after i got it to turn on i had to flash my device with a SD card cause the USB didn't work.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck
No luck!
Thanks everyone for your input but none of the suggestions worked. I guess next step is to put it up on ebay for parts
Were in the same boat

Camboy06 please do let me know if you find a solution. I only had my Kaiser for a month or so. This obviously hasn't happened to many folks so finding a solution wont be easy.
Thanks!
Try This
Holding the 2 soft keys and pressing the reset button. If not that try holding the camera button and pressing the reset button.
Happened to me too last night. Similar anyway. I was using skype and charging my phone from the charger then it just stopped charging. I soft reset and it still didn't work. Hard reset and that didn't work. The USB port is dead. I'm going to try flashing from the SD card. Maybe that will flash I'm sure but we'll see if it fixes my problem.
Hello there,
I'm by no means an expert with mobile phones, but was recently given a C600 and having done some research on the net managed to unlock the phone myself.
However, although the phone was working fine with an O2 prepay sim card for the past few weeks, it has now decided to have what can only be described as a 'fit' every time i try to use it.
Half the time the three colured screen comes up when i turn it on, which says tornado, and a series of numbers, and then when i can get the phone switched on properly, half the time some of the buttons refuse to work, and the other half the phone will decide to flip between the earpiece volume setting screen, the camera, and the voice command thingy, when all i am trying to do is to text my mate to see if he wants to go for a beer!
Needless to say i haven't had a beer for the last two days, and am a little annoyed about being constantly outwitted by a mobile phone, so i decided to come to the experts for help.
Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this issue!!
thanks guys, i clearly came to the right place here!
great.
what rom did you install on your tornado?

Your problem is cammera button - its half stuck so you need to clean it.

didn't change the rom at all as i heard that the new one was no good, its as it came out of the factory...
however, the toggle button is now not responding at all as with many other c600s from what i can tell on the net, so i may have to install the new rom anyway and hope that solves the problem.
i have a feeling that i will have to go through the entire process of unlocking the phone again when i have installed the new rom also, i'm starting to wonder if it is worth it....but i do really like the phone so it would be a shame to give up
thanks a lot for the help, if anyone else can help please post...
thanks

25 and a half hours, but sorry for the impatience its just very frustrating to not be able to use a phone when i have no spare.
i'm pretty sure the problem runs a little deeper than the camera button but i'll give it a try.

OK so i just came back from a deployment and heard there was an update to gingerbread software from the stock froyo. I read up a little on it and decided to give it a try. I do not do a lot of builds, custom roms, or things like that on my device, so my knowledge level isnt that great. I downloaded Kies Mini and was performing the upgrade and my computer just shut off in the middle of it. My phone is now jacked. All it will do when i turn it on is display a ton of dots. My phone looks like a christmas tree. I tried holding down the volume buttons and plugging it into the USB cord, and still nothing but dots. I tried the hard reset by holding the volume buttons, turning it off, and releasing the power button and still nothing. Is there anyway to fix this?? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
Does the computer recognize the phone when you have it plugged in? If not, the simplest things to try are different USB ports, different cords or different computers.
Beyond that, it gets more complex. If the computer does recognize the phone, did you try this way - unplug the usb, turn off the phone, hold down the volume keys and plug the phone back in? If so and you still had the dots, it is possible you're still in download mode and can still try to finish the download.
Otherwise, you may have to go to GTG Unbrick, Heimdall or Odin.
Yes as long as your screen can display something, there's a chance to fix it.
OK, so now when i turn it on, the screen is just white. It is not pixelated anymore. Im not sure if my computer recognizes it or not. It does not show up on my computer anywhere but when i connect my phone to it with the usb cord my computer makes the sound like something was just connected. I opened Odin 3 v1.7 and in the ID:COM box it says 0:[COM15]. Now what do i do?? Thanks for the help. Sorry i am not android saavy!!!
I use this method to get the latest stock....are planning to put custom ROM?

bigjoe- Thank you. I am going to try putting a custom rom in it. Im not sure how to do it yet. i found some info on MIUI or something. It looks pretty cool. I am going to try the heimdall one click to restore it. Hopefully it works.
Just follow the instructions to the letter on any custom rom you decide to try and you should be ok. And you can always find helpful folks here. Welcome back, thank you and have fun flashing - it gets addictive.

A have a link to a video that I would appreciate you to check out. My Samsung Infuse 4g shut off randomly during use and constantly reboots itself. The rest is explained in the video's description.
*i can't link because I'm a new user.. However.. The phone shuts off and pulls up the Samsung screen, i have flashed a custom CM9 ROM onto it, however it ran fine until it just randomly shut off.. I don't know why it did it. But now I can't get it into Download Mode or into it's Clockwork Recovery.. I'm not sure if it is bricked or if there is any way I can fix it.. The video is titled "Samsung Infuse 4g AT&T (Please Help)" it will either be under Brandon Meadors or androiduser360. Please and thank you for help.
Thank you so much for any help you can give.
Hi M8! Yesterday i posted a thread about the very same situation, i have two motherboards with that same issue. My guess i that youre not used to flash cell phones, so my guess is also that it means that you dont have develop good soldering skills. Theres a development made by a guy named Adam Outler in here called Unbrickable Mod. He is very highly skill developer. I have the same issue you have right now with a couple motherboards i have. And im going to apply that mod today to see if i can restore my cell phone back. If it works ill let you know, so that maybe you can find a way to do it. If thats the case, i suggest you to read, read, and keep reading lol... Theres a lot to learn about when we deal with situations like that. Ive never deal with something like that, but ive done UnbrickableMod many times already. So ill let you know
Well you can always use a usb jig if you want it will boot your phone into download mode then flash to stock.
Heres a good link on how to make one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707
Yeah its a good idea Ty113096, the problem is that the JIG doesnt work either. When you insert the JIG the phone will get to download mode ok, but then a couple seconds later it will reboot and the bootloop goes on and on. Oh! By the way UnbrickableMod didnt solve it! The phone will do pretty much the same when the resurrector is applied. Very strange situation but such is life i guess...
Thank you guys so much for the help.. So.. Is this unfixable?

If you can get into recovery (pull battery, up/down volume depressed, connect usb and install battery)...these are some posts that I've found helpful. If it works, hit qksters and jscotts thanks.

P.S. qksters is stickied right at the top of this q&a forum. Section A would probably apply to you.
Take out the battery and place it back. Does it automatically turn on?
If it does then your problem is the power button.

You saved the day, i took the phone apart like 3 times trying to figure it out. thank you.
(what fixed it for me was i removed the housing and took out the plastic/rubber button cover, then put battery back in phone -and for the first time it didnt power up on it's own!!! clicked the little white button-node with pry tool and it started like normal) so simple...
So, I've downloaded Odin, the tar file, and anything else necessary to root, unroot, unbrick phone, etc.... I've read tons of forums and followed some I trusted very thoroughly. The problem began with my screen just suddenly going blank. This was almost two weeks ago now. Verizon has been of no help, AS USUAL.... the phone is only 3 months old, and Samsung offers no support either.
I've gotten the screen and phone to come on twice since, and that was the day of and right after it occurred. I thought I finally had it fixed after doing all of the steps in Odin last night, but the screen is still black. The other lights come on, and I can hear notifications, etc coming through but I can't see anything. I'm beyond stressed out.
If anyone can finally help me work through this, I would great appreciate it!!
Thanks so much in advance
Sorry, meant to delete this reply. I'd be happy if the mods did so x)
