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

In no way possible do I take credit for this, I just kinda jumped the gun =). Huge thanks to XDA member braway for making it possible and putting it all together to reset trip counter. Below link to dropbox (link provided by cdshepherd) currently working for both AT&T & Rogers. Rogers has been tested and confirmed working by XDA member dogblood (Don't forget to hit the thanks button for dogblood). Huge thanks to cdshepard as well in making the necessary changes to make it work for both versions of skyrockets.

Don't forget to hit the thank you button for both braway and cdshepard. I'm donating $5 to braway, I'm sure the rest of you can as well, JIG would cost a few bucks on ebay if available, but why not show some love to a fellow XDA member instead.

I used this myself, had counter at 3, flashed the att.zip file through CWM. Went into dl mode and seen that it was back at 0. So yes sir it definately works
It works but its not the right file for our skyrocket. I do have the correct file we need now, I'll post it up in the morning. I would wait until then.
@envy, when I get the zip tested I'll pm you the link and you can put it in the op of this thread. Assuming the thread hasn't been moved by morning

Morning fellas. Here is the link for the flash counter reset zip specifically for our skyrocket. All I did was pull the needed file off of a skyrocket that has never had the flash counter tripped, replaced the file in Braway's zip, and added a little something to the updater script. I flashed it on my phone just to make sure it wasn't a brick waiting to happen. But my flash counter is already at 0.
Need someone from att to flash this and see if it resets the counter.
I dunno if this will work for rogers, only tested on my att skyrocket
http://db.tt/uYhg8So7
Every last bit of credit for this goes to braway, he is the man with the plan guys, all I did was follow his directions. Thanks braway we all need to work the hell out of his thanks button
@envy, after someone test this, clean the op up and make darn sure to give all the credit to Braway. Also let everyone know its only for att right now, not tested on any other network.
If any rogers users out there that are rooted without ever tripping the counter, with adb access, we can prolly pull the correct files for you as well.
Also here is braways paypal donation link. Show him some love.

do this in adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img
that will put mmcblk02.img on your sdcard, from there you can exit adb shell and do "adb pull /sdcard/mmcblk02" to pull the file off your sd card or you can just copy and paste it from your sdcard to your computer. just get me the file in what ever way you can. remember it will be named "mmcblk02.img"
Thanks cdshepherd. I just tried your version and it works fine. Big thanks to braway!!!

Ok,
I'm trying to Unroot my phone and I've looked all around, including outside of XDA and I cannot find a fix. The K0nane method is a no go. Everytime I run it through ODIN it fails, giving me the DL screen of death on my phone. (phone----caution-----computer) I have to reflash the CWM .zip and it works again.
Can someone please PLEASE point me in the direction of a comprehensive unroot method? It would be greatly appreciated.
(yes I've looked, I've searched, I've combed, I cannot find anything that works for my Skyrocket.)
Any idea why Odin method doesn't work? Try the tar from sammy. Try a different version of Odin. Try a different computer or USB slot. Theres no reason it shouldn't work. Maybe reinstall drivers. Have you tried all that? :thumbup:
Sent from my SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Have you Odin'ed the .tar from sammobile.com yet? It will take you back to original 2.3.5 unrooted and 3e recovery. Seems you are comfortable with Odin. Your phone will be unrooted. Make a backup of calls, schedules, messages and etc. With Kies then restore after you flash back to stock. You will have to redownload all of your apps. If you had a nandroid of 2.3.5 you could restore it then use the zergrush exploit to unroot.

Make sure your phone is connected via USB at moment you place the phone into firmware update (download mode) konane tar and Odin should work I hope that this is mistake you are making and that it works out for you mate.
---------- Edit---------
Make sure the phone is hooked up to the computer and then do the same step you would do to place the phone into recovery mode, without the USB cable connected your phone will not go into download mode. Make sure none of the boxes on the top are checked in.
Hey thanks guys, i'm looking into all of this asap. I appreciate all.the responses as soon as i'm back to a computer thanks to all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Odds are if it doesn't work for your skyrocket means you are doing it wrong . Odin failing can happen for a variety of reasons. Bad usb cable, not using a Motherboard usb port on PC (if desktop use rear USB ports, don't use any adapters or external USB hubs), not using Download mode. Just to be sure run ODIN as admin. Plenty of references in general and Q&A.

Rooting was the easy step and from experience Samsung has the easiest to root phones. Mind you i'm saying this based on the blood, sweat and tears of the devs who paved the way. This is a great community and the tools available are awesome.
even for the absolute noob the"all in one" guide in the Dev forum is awesome. Hell even for someone not new to it the all in one rocks!
Again thanks so much guys, and for the record, after getting flamed enough times in the past for posting a question that I know damn well has been asked, yes I'll dump HOURS into combing the threads and googling and checking various other sources before I ask anymore. I never knew a community of people could be so hostile towards someone for asking, god forbid I was the pinnacle of noob and got some of the responses on a question that I've gotten in the past for various other phones and issues.

Not too recently. It just happens from time to time. You get people who instead of just shaking their heads and moving on they would rather let you know that your post insults them because they took the time to read a lot of similar posts...really its as easy as saying to one self "another one, really?" Then moving on.

I could've sworn I stated it keeps asking to update...Maybe I wasn't clear, I've updated it 10 times but nothing. I've uninstalled 3 times and reinstalled and nothing. I know Samsung is experiencing issues with their servers, initially that's the same issue alot of us Note users had. Someone was able to post the correct version of Kies (exe file), but can't seem to be happening for the skyrocket.
Edit the registry, remove kies entries, reboot, reinstall
See how that does

First off if you and everyone else who posted and or replied would've read the OP, you would've seen what I was asking. FYI child I ain't no kid, one simple question was asked and idiots like you reply the wrong way. So first off if you want to be helpful I'd change the way you approach or reply to people's comments and do some reading. You do know how to read right? Not trying to be rude or be an asshole by saying so but many people on here think they big and bad, when in the "Real" world they nothing but scrubs. Again one simple question was asked, but people need to take the time to read before looking like jackasses and replying with something not even close to the original question asked.

First off, this post is in the wrong place. If you are asking for something, you need to post in Q&A. Second, please don't be abrasive to other members, especially those ones trying to help you out.

Actually if you see they weren't helping, they were quick to judge "cough cough" and failed to read the OP. Thanks for moving

Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1 google search for that version, it will want to update so let it.
i though it was a problem so i uninstall'd my kies then installed this did the update and all is working as it should.
so i can confirm this ver works on a win 7 x64 if it still wants to update after updating it then there is something wrong with your computer,
give it a try.
I just hard bricked my sgs3. FIRST TIME EVER!! I've been flashing roms,kernels, etc since the MyTouch3.
Little back story.....
I flashed the LSmooth - Linaro 4.2.1 Jelly Bean Rom with CWM6. I noticed that I could not find my nandroid backups. Searched XDA and saw a thread that stated that TWRP is compatible with 4.2.1 and it will move the internal /sdcard from /0 back to its original file location, etc, etc. I went to GooManager, downloaded the twrp.tar (d2vzw), then went to MobileOdin, loaded the .tar file and flashed.
BOOM!!! No power, DOA. dead ass!! :crying::crying:
(( FACE SLAP )) then I remembered via build.prop it was configured as "maguro" and not "d2vzw". So, I'm assuming that since I failed to edit the build.prop before flashing the d2vzw TWRP recovery, it bricked my phone.
-- No power via wall, usb
-- No download / recovery mode
-- NOTHING!
My question is, if I were to call in and ask for a warranty exchange, what is the likely hood of Verizon troubleshooting, reviving my phone and figuring it out that its been rooted?
Or, should I just send my phone to someone that can JTAG it for me?

You can send it to verizon as they'll have no clue what hapoened since a jtag will just be a fresh like new install showing no sing of it ever modified.

I don't have an answer for your question but I would like to ask one. Did the build.prop change cause the phone to brick because it made Goo Manager download the wrong file, Mobile ODIN to flash it wrong/to the wrong place, or something else I'm totally missing? This is just a new one to me and I try to stay up on this stuff so I don't end up with a brick myself. Thanks.

Yes goo manager downloads recovery based on your build prop and such that's why it's always bad at the same time to change it if you aren't careful.

Instead, I called my VZW Account Rep(when i used to work BBYMobile), told them what happened. $12 Next day ....
reason why I didnt choose MobileTech,
1. I am unsure of the wait time
2. I need my cell for work
3. $12 Next day vs. $60-$95 10 Day wait ... ehhhhh
I do appreciate the comment and response, though. Thanks Bro~

I was wondering because my vzw rep was unsure. i was going to invest in mobiletech , but i was unsure about the wait time and not having a phone for a few days to weeks. if it was TMO or ATT, yea I would have sent it because I can find me a prepaid GSM phone and use that temporarily. Oh well, thanks for the response!
Actually, I just hard bricked my s3 a couple hours ago as well! My situation is a little different though! Earlier today I received my OTG cable in the mail from eBay....long story short, this thing just destroyed my phone....turns out I'm not the only one who's had this happen! People, please be careful, don't do what I did and buy a cheap OTG cable! There seems to be some confusion as to whether it's the cable or the phones that are the cause of the problem....just google it.... OTG hard brick.....you'll see what I'm talking about!

Maybe if you need your phone for work you shouldn't be so careless with it. Just saying.

ur good man, i cringe anytime I see a send back to vz related question as this guy is how carriers can justify locking these phones down, or one of the reasons.
not that ethics and the internet go together but what op has done is wrong and it hurts this community.
