Rom manager = HARD brick (you should read a little bit here many people have Bricked their devices using ROM manager and we are not supposed to use it yet since its not supported for our device)
Go to Samsung guys now.. only they can do it
act like you don't know anything!

Try going into download mode. If you can't then you're facing a hard brick.
Go to samsung service center and act like a retard.
If you can, then just flash the stock ROM via ODIN

Hello! I may have a stupid question, but i must know... I know that doing a hard reset will delete almost all user files on my galaxy, like "//mnt/sdcard/..." and reset my settings of the firmware. Can i delete ALL files from my sg? I mean all from "//..." all from root directory. Just asking...What i acctualy want to know is if i delete all will i be able to go into download mode for flashing a new firmware after that? The reason for this is that i tested a lot of firmwares and custom roms and tiny bits and pieces still remain "hidden" thus i want to erase EVERYTHING! Gonna do it too...

I guess you cant hard reset if you cant boot up...
The only option which remains at this stage is going to Samsung centre
Dont be worried in the tiny bits of your ROM's act like a newbie who doesn't know android just say its not working.. if they ask what had happened say you were copying data or whatever and this happened.. act normal and calm..
I'm sure your device will be repaired (they'll change the motherboard in most cases) and be careful with your device next time

I briked my galaxy fit, because i installed a rom (via odin) that my telephone didn't support.
Try it!!!!, i could unbrick my galaxy fit!!:
1. Open Odin, select the OPS, and an official rom.
2. put out: sim, sd card, and the BATTERY
3. Connect the galaxy fit at the PC with the USB
4. Try open download mode (it won't run, but, you must press: Down Volume + Home + Power)
5. While you are pressing the buttons, if you can't, other person must put the battery.
6. Wait 5 seconds and... TA TAN!!!!... download mode turns on!!!!!!!!!
7. Now... you must press START in odin, and the rom will install in your galaxy fit.
I hope you can unbrick your galaxy fit!!
Sorry for my bad english. I speak spanish ^^

This means that you had a soft brick. In a soft brick, you can boot into download mode.
In a hard brick, you can do nothing.
5. While you are pressing the buttons, if you can't, other person must put the battery.

SIM, SD-Card and Battery have nothing to do with download mode.

How do plan do that?

Thanks for your support franco 007, but i did not brick my phone, and by installing roms you cant brick your phone, you just install another firmware via odin, i allready know that, my question was if i delete all my files from the ROOT FOLDER "//root/DELETE EVERYTHING" can i go into download mode so i can make a fresh install. Am i not expressing myself corectly?

Obviously, you can't do that when booted up.....
In recovery mode.... You can only format sdcard, data, system and cache.
IMO, it can't be done by any simple means.
and since that doesn't serve any purpose, I doubt anyone would resort to any complex methods to do that

hmm no....
anyways, i doubt that you can format the "/" partition using Root Explorer
give it a try

hehe.. i only post the answer of the first post, the person that has briked his phone.
i did that and my fit now runs correctly, and i have installed a lot of custom roms,with clockworkmod recovery

a lot of custom roms?
you can install only one at a time.

I need to unbrick that phone urgently, now I have a Galaxy Ace (Latinoamerica/México/Telcel) but... I really need to unbrick that phone

Nothing special, just turned it off normally, it wasnt the only time that turned off the phone
Nada en especial, solo lo apague normalmente pero no fue la unica vez que lo apague desde que flashee la rom
Sent from my GT-S5830L using xda premium

no, you must press DOWN volume button :S
down volume + home + power

those who installed rom manager is nothing to do,you can only change the motherboard of phone or use riff jtag wich is about 30-40 $

[Q] Brick forever or possibility to restore?

Good evening everyone.
I bought Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 GT-P6800 about month ago. It's been working fine, till this saturday. When i tried to unlock my Tab, device didn't respond. I tried to power it on, but still no response. Hm, the reason of this thing is only one - too low battery. So, i putted my device on charge (saw battery icon on screen). After 2 hours, I came back and tried to power my device again, but it freezed with this battery icon. I hold power button for 10-15 seconds and my device started to load, but it got freezed on "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7". My Tab is rooted, but firmware is official.
What my DEVICE CAN'T DO:
* Can't load into CWM (freezing at "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7";
* Can't Power on;
* Can't charge;
* Can't connect to PC.
What my DEVICE CAN DO:
* Load into Downloading mode.
Is it possible to restore my Tab? If yes, how to do it, using Downloading mode (Kies doesn't see my tab)? Please help.
Thanks for your help.

I feel sorry about that. Do you clean install your ROM? If you can now go to CWM Recovery, then it would be good. You can try factory reset in CWM.
I had the same issue this is when the flashed Rom is damaged.You need to install the originap Samsung Rom which can be bought from samsung or give your tab to a repair shop they will have the neccery things.

you need to make factory reset using cwm recovery... If you reinstall the Official Honeycomb firmware... you are safe to wipe using the stock 3e recovery... if you are on ICS... please go to download mode and install cwm... then factory reset...

Hey,
Thanks for your reply!
I flashed my SGT 7.7 back to Official Honeycomb firmware, but i still can't access recovery mode. The only thing i can do is - load into download mode. I can't install CWM, because i flashed it to NON rooted Official firmware. It's still like a brick
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
how did you try to enter the recovery mode? what key combination that you press...

Isnt it possible to flash CWM without rooting first??
If I remember correctly.... Go into download mode... using Odin and flash CWM....
if you get that..... then try to re=boot into recovery and wipe away if your on HC...

Flashed CWM using Odin, but still can't access anything. I can only see two loading screens:
1. Freezing battery icon. (it happens, when i try to charge my tablet)
2. Freezing Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 sign.(it happens, when i just try to power my device on)
The only way I can power off my tablet is to wait untill my device's battery discharges.
I'm in the same situation:
1. Freezing battery icon. (it happens, when i try to charge my tablet)
2. Freezing Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 sign.(it happens, when i just try to power my device on)
Although I can boot into CWM 5.0.2.7 but I'm unable to successfully get a rom to work...
Very frustrating isn't it.

What firmware were you using on your tablet, while you were flashing CWM? Why I am asking it, is because i tried lots of different firmwares to install CWM and i couldn't boot into CWM niether with honeycomb, nor with ICS. And yeah thanks for your help.

I started with ICS stock but after my initial flash did't work I believe I wasn't really running any rom because it didn't work.
I then went into Odin/download mode (holding volume down and power).
once in I used the cwm-6.0.2.3-p6800.tar file and loaded it under "Bootloader" then I flashed that successfully.
to then get into recovery I hold Volume up + power (for a very long time about 20secs).
Once in recovery then you can begin the above guide to repair the sdcard.
Hope that helps.
Thanks again for your reply.
I did exactly everything you wrote, even installed original ICS firmware again using Odin. Flashed recovery, hold Power + Vol Up buttons for like 5 minutes, but f*** this, still didn't boot into recovery. Erh.. my device is broken forever.. No solution for all this..

How do you flash CWM using ODIN? CWM isn't a Bootloader, nor a PDA, nor a Phone, nor a CSC.
Thanks in advance, hope I'll get back my Galaxy Tab 7.7!
1. go to download mode
2. connect your device to your pc and start odin
3. put the cwm files on phone section of odin
4. flash awayyyyy....
Yay
Yaaaaay! Problem solved! My Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. P6800 is alive again!
The problem was so easy, that i laught alot, when solved it. The problem was with micro SDcard. I used micro SDcard from my last Nokia phone, but Nokia's micro SDcard didn't approach to SGT7.7, but it approached ONLY by the size! So I used another micro SDcard, which I got when I bougt my Tab! Woohoo, i'm so happy now :laugh:

Try this:
1. Enable sound on your pc
2. Turn off you phone remove sd/sim card.
3. Connect your phone while pressing volume up with the Pc (I guess u have lg Drivers installed)
4. Wait and see if you hear sth (like 3 or more sounds) or if you phone enter in S/W mode.
5. reply again
No sounds......But it enters S/W mode....but nothing happens.......what should i do?
Im also worried that the battery will die....will it be charged while in S/W mode?

Go to device manager while in S/W mode and connect the usb cable.
See if anything pops up and reply.
I think it will show you LG Cosmo driver that is not installed but lets see.
All drivers was installed inclusive LG Cosmo Driver....i saw it......But when in device manager with S/W mode on i cant see the COSMO Driver name......
Should i be worried about battery dying? How can i know its charging when the phone is off?

You gotta format your internal memory from within the ROM. Boot your device then Go to settings/storage/format internal sd. It should be okay. If you can't find the settings try pressing menu button while in the homescreen. In the menu press settings and it should run.

Try to flash another gingerbread Kernel. If you cant enter recovery, but you can enter fastboot mode then try: fastboot flash (Drag and Drop the boot.img to shell) and press enter.
Turn off your phone then turn on your phone while holding 3D button and vulume up or down ( not sure which one ) and power button as son as the screen turns on free all of them then you should see the android icon wait till you enter the recovery mode there format every thing.
I hope this will work

Thank you so much, my phone is working now. I just have to find a way to reset the binary download count(get rid of the yellow triangle) without purchasing a USB jig. Any suggestions? Im trying to update firmware to ICS and then Jelly bean. I tried flashing it to a newer version(ics), but then the phone goes back into bootloop (i think bc of flashing it to ics, then jelly bean, and then back to a rooted stock verison), so I have to keep using the rooted stock firmware. Any suggestions? Thank you btw

Getting to download mode is all the USB jig does. U can get it with out one. I believe if u hold down volume and plug in cable. Its something like that I forget. And a return to stock using heimdall or Odin should fix anything

im having troubles too!!
i have a similar problem myself. I rooted my infuse it has cwm9 and ics. but for some reason the phone cuts off and starts boot looping. i cant get it in download mode or recovery. took the battery out put it back in and its starts doing it without touching the power button. ive beat and banged on it still nothing but the loop. this is the longest it has done it, usually it would quit after a few minutes but its going on 24 hours now. any help would be awesome!!!
Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

Can get into download mode,
I am able to get into download mode, Ive flashed the OS a number of times back to stalk, then tried ICS, and jelly bean, and I still get the same error message I got at the beginning of this post. But I was able to reset the Binary counter, if I could get my phone to work again I would literally pay somebody to help me....I know it is possible to get it back up and running, it's just a complicated process it seems. Help please!
Chainfire had a program called Triangle Away. Do a search but be careful, it might not work with Infuse and you could get a real brick.

i have bricked my infuse many times, and xda members always have been helpful to me
i am now that the point of believing that my infuse is un-brick-able, so I am writing down my instruction as a noob for you
A/ Preparation in your computer:
1. Install/Update Java (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) and Get the driver for the Samsung ready (download and install Kies software at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT)
2. download Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
3. Download SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
4. Download: CM-9-20120620 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
5. Download: CWM-community-kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
6. Download a rom and gapps ( i use the AvatarROM and Gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227)
*connect your phone to the computer and copy and paste the 4, 5, 6 items into your sd card
* i am not so sure where you are at, but maybe you don't need flash the cm-9
what you need to do:
a. pull out the battery, put it back on, holding down both the volume buttons while plug in the use cord, the other end of the usb already plug in the computer, that would put you to the download mode
b. by now your computer would be noticing the phone is connected, you then click the Heimdall at 2 above to turn it on (read that thread so you can know what to expect) if you have the drive and the phone is really connected, then, you can click "flash" and the Heimdall will do it job - don't do anything the phone will be rebooting itself back to stock (in the thread, the dev. said you might need to flash two times, but in my case, I only did once and it worked right away)
c. be happy with result for a while, then you put the phone back to download mode and flash the Entropy Heimdall at 3 above, your phone will get the red recovery if things go the way it should
d. then you wipe everything (maybe no need but whatever... after bricking your phone, it doesn't hurt to spend a min. to do this), 2 wipes at the main red recovery and then go to advance and wipe advik catch and battery state .. i would do every wipe 2 times ... and also select the "fix permissions" in there too
e. then you flash the cwm community kernel at (5) assuming that you already put it in the sd card of your phone (if not, then you choose the option from the the red recovery "connect as usb drive, your computer wil read the phone and allow you to copy and paste - i must say here that I tried this step a few times in order to make it work, i even reboot my computer)
then you flash the ROM and Gapps that you want to (assuming that you already put them in the sd card of the phone)
if jellybean didn't go through then maybe you should try the cm-9 first ...
be patient, very patient if things to the way it should, your phone will reboot a few times and recovery will change its color ... and you will get to the ROM you want
while you are waiting for those reboots, take time to read at least the first 3 pages of the threads that I put the links above to learn about the problems and what to expect
don't panic very much it will led to bad decision
your phone will be fine as XDA dev. have spent a great deal of time, energy, thoughts on the infuse
once again, hope you understand my noob instruction and esl writing
you phone will be working again
Thanks but I didn't needed these. I may not be a pro but definitely not a noob. I was only responding to the previous comment.

Don't mess with a new phone if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Now your phone is soft-bricked.
Download this (FOR GT-I8260) or this (FOR GT-I8262) stock firmware and use ODIN to flash it to your phone, as described in this post (thanks to Omkar$).
I am not responsible if you hard brick your phone.
Soft-bricking was your mistake, and there is no reason to be mad at us.

when i press vol down+home+power button it says factory mode.....how to go to download mode then????
I recommend using Samsung Kies for reverting to stock ROM. Just boot in download mode and select Forward update and initialization

Hope some buddy know how i must fix my phone
I recently fixed a bricked XZP with Flashtool, get the latest stock firmware from Xperifirm if you dont have on hand an older hackable firmware from XperiFIX
in Xperifirm setting, set it to extract firmware automatically once downloaded to speed things up,
In flashtool/Tools/bundles/Create, select source folder (your downloaded extracted firmware)
in device "double click" & select your phone model from the list.
branding: add as your download example, custom_uk
version: firmware version copy & paste from download
copy all files from file list to firmware content & click create
this will build a .ftf flash tools file which can then be flashed to your bricked device
just follow the prompts in flashtool....
worked for me,
good luck

Ofcourse i have and flashed .34 amd .75 frimwares with both neflasher and flashtool but none of them fix my problem.is it something that dosent change when we flash stock frimwares.
Lol. Sony phones are really hard to brick. You really can't brick a Sony phone even if you intentionally wanted to. I've even had a failed flash (phone disconnected while flashing) and was still able to flash using flashtool.
Anyways, I know this has been said before, but what happens after you flash using flashtool? Did you check all the boxes for a full wipe?
BTW, bad mouthing a phone just because you can't solve your problem won't help you.
