Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile.
First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone.
So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087.
As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way.
So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock.
After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore.
Now I don't know what to do. I realized I was flashing with the Galaxy Vibrant kernels with Odin and now, it won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. It is also not being detected my computer when I plug it in. I'ts a blank screen.
Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.
Unfortunately, you won't get much sympathy for that. Here's some info for you though.

Normally wouldn't have posted anything, but seeing that no one did and started flaming him, I decided to help.
There's a good handful of people on XDA (maybe more) who are capable of doing what I mentioned to you. You'll have to look for them though. I'm sure they charge a decent fee as well.
There was a thread by raver i think that stated how to unbrick a hard brick

Hello!! I bricked my gs4g, couldn't put it in download mode with the regular bottoms combo, so what I did was:with the phone off push volume bottoms, both in the same time nothing else, then connect your phone with the computer(usb), that gave me download mode

Sounds hard bricked, unless your battery is dead.
Option 1: send to that jtag guy to fix for $50

If its a regular s2 and you flashed files from these forums that would be bad.

To me it seems like you flash a rom that is meant for regular s2 on the skyrocket which is also bad.

okay brother how can i fix this problem
U might wanna wait for someone who knows better than me, I just started getting into this myself, but if you can get your phone into download mode you can use odin to flash stock rom. Otherwise its a hard brick and you'll have to pay for jtag fix.
Try taking ur battery out, holding volume up+down+power and plugging the usb to the computer, this should get your phone into download mode if its a soft brick.
then use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21011261&postcount=5
id doesn't went to download mode
what i most do???
You should wait for someone else to reply, that knows more than me. But as far as my limited knowledge goes you hard bricked it and you can either try to return it for warranty repair or http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-brick-repair/
okay how can i fix whith out sended to them

Put up a link of where you found that rom. If it was a rom for a different phone, and you cant boot to CWM or DL mode, your phone is hard bricked and can only be fixed by jtag or sending to samsung for wanrranty replacement
okay how will do the jtag for me in uae because im arabian and i buy samsung from outside.
You need to go to mobile tech videos. Website and contact them. Then ship the device to them. You bricked it. We dont have a working miui so i can only assume u flashed it from a different devices forum. In which case yes you are hard bricked.
Try to follow these directions to the TEE. Make sure you pull battery before trying download mode.
Download mode is a pain in my rear on the skyrocket because of the large volume rocker took me 3 tries.
Hope this helps you let me know.

you can buy or make a small device that makes your phone go to download mode without touching anything on your mobile... you can find it on ebay or check on youtube how to fix one...USB JIG Method is called... look it up if you don't have a warranty it will save you a lot of money

It depends on what kind of brick you have. A hard brick (like a wiped bootloader or you flashed a rom not specific for your device) can only be saved by jtag. If it is a soft brick, i.e bootloop where your phone still lights up but just can't get to download mode etc then a jig will be fine. Tell us, did you flash an i9000 rom or firmware to your i9003?

re bricked my phone
i suggest you give us details on what exactly happened to your phone so that xda community could help and understand what exactly is going on...
they pretty much explain everything regarding a hard brick or a soft brick phone. so first we need to identify which category u fall under.so tell us what happened why did you bricked ur phone instead of asking where in mumbai...because whats happening is u keep on asking question but your not actually giving any details/information.
personally i dont know where u should go i dont live there. but i/we can give u tips if u tell us what happend first
while installing an update through odin .its stops in middle and black screen came and download mode and recovery mode not working .
its a hard brick.
So im guessing i bricked my s3 verizon.. the phone wont completley turn on I rooted and tried to put on a jelly bean rom and found out that I put the wrong one on meaning I put a GSM instead of a CDMA which is my fault because I never payed attention to it.. Any solutions for this problem?
Battery pull did not work
Charging it did not work
The phone completley will not turn on no way to get into download mode or whatever so I need help thanks.
I haven't kept up as much in recent days but what I heard in the past was that flashing an international ROM was close to a death sentence since you end up in a qualcomm diagnostic mode with no download mode. I have no idea if there has been any changes, updates, or progress made in this regard or if a USB jig will help you. I would imagine a JTAG would still be useful. You might want to try on IRC.
Also, this is not development and does not belong here. The rules clearly state that. Many bad things can be avoided by taking the time to read.

I did, was just confirming what you had already said :good:
Spoke with Verizon and they'll replace it for me...should have been more careful, I flashed the GSM version of a rom after rooting. JTAG looks like it's quite difficult though. I'd only do it if Verizon told me to take a walk...Anyways thanks for the responses, and always remember: practice safe flashing!
