A weird thing happened, my Galaxy Ace got Hard-Bricked after flashing a rom (i was too lazy to read instructions, as flashing roms is what i do 5 times a day!), and it couldn't go into backup/recovery/download mode. It just happened once, my PC recognized it and Odin detected it, but odin froze, so i unplugged it and repluged it, and that's when it never went in recovery mode again...
I need urgent help asap, as my warranty is already voided.
Cheers,
John Freeman
Well look here for help if it is a soft-brick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970
If it is a hard brick then you need to use a JTAG service:

Good luck.
if it is still under warranty take it to the service center and tell the you are doing an OTA and your connection was distrupted. thats what I told at the service center
It should nearly always be possible to enter the bootloader of the device. So if it comes hard you can use "power button, vol down" to enter it and flash a system image directly with the fastboot tool.
Thanks a Bunch!
Thanks a bunch, guys! I sent it to a friend (she knows more about JTAG services than i do) who helped me out.
I followed instructions this time...
Thanks a lot,

Dear Helpers
Please someone help me!
I was upgrading my phone and suddenly it stopped at 69%.
After that it asked me it if I want to make emergency upgrade, I tried it but unfortunately it didn’t work.
Now my phone is not starting at all, it just gives the logo of samsung and the model type. I tried to make a hard reset by click the buttons but it didn’t work.
It seems that the software is removed and no more software in the phone.
What shall I do ? Please advice!
Thanks in advanced!

Hello again;
Thanks for the fast responds but ...
I need a Professional Answer to a Beginner user.
I want to know how to fix my phone step by step from a to z
for example which applications i need to install on my computer to fix my phone etc.
anyone has patience to explain to me briefly?
well, at first you need odin
google odin android or sth like that and google odin pit file 512.
go to sammobile and look for the firmware you want to have (you need to register on sammobile.com to do this)
after that, make sure you have samsung kies installed, but NOT running (check via taskmanager-processes, if you see something with 'kies' in it, close that).
run odin
use pit file s1_odin_20100512.pit in pit tab
use CODE file in PDA tab
use MODEM file in PHONE tab
use GT-I9000-CSC... file in CSC tab
make sure the repartition box, auto reboot box, f.reset time box are checked (dump, phone efs clear, phone bootloader update NOT)
set your phone to download mode (hold volume down, home button an on/off button at the same time until the android with a shovel appears)
plug your phone via usb in to your computer, in odin should appear a yellow sign at ID:COM
hit start in odin
wait til its done
(i hope this works out, thats what i did, when i bricked my phone once)
i dont take responsibilty for damages on your phone!
you do this at your own risk!
ps: sorry for my bad english..

Your phone is now died.....
Bring it to LG Service and they will help you.
Don't try to do anything, because it's really died....
hey hi
thanks dude
Don't throw your phone like I did when I bricked my phone. You will need to send it to a jtag service centre and that will fix your phone.

Hi everyone!
A friend of mine found a samsung wave 2. Because it was locked with a password i tried to flash new firmware on it with multiloader.
It gave an error and now i can't get into download mode anymore, it appears on the screen for half a second and then the phone reboots.
I also can't charge it anymore because if i plug it in, the empty battery appears, and the phone reboots after 15 seconds. It doesn't seem to charge and i guess that's why i cant stay in download mode. Also it gets quite hot while charging...
Any ideas how to fix this? I've found numerous topics spread across the internet but none give a real solution :s
Thanks in advance.
Flash a stock firmware using Odin. That should help.
Press thanks if I've helped you

No you didnt help, but i managed to charge the battery by wiring it to my galaxy s2, quite dangerous imo
but i succeeded and managed to get into download mode without rebooting, SOLVED

So... Looks like it's hard bricked ... So ... just go to an Authorised service centre, and Play Dumb. Just tell that suddenly your phone wouldn't turn on and that you donno what happened (don't tell about rooting or anything) .... So, depending on how well you acted and how dumb the service centre people are, you 'may' get a replacement under warranty ..
ndmicH perfectly

Hi All, I have bricked my SCH-I925 (Verizon) And need some help.
What I have done so far:
I unlocked the bootloader with the tool from AdamOutler
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41016954
It workt just fine, but after a wile I tried to do a factory reset. After that it was not booting anymore and always ended up in TWRP.
I then decided to do a system repair to factory rom with the Verizon tool, This went wrong and now it is not booting anymore. I can enter ODIN mode but it will not accept any roms, Also the Verizon repair tool is not able to load the factory rom and get stuck on 83% falling back to 66% with the message the device is unexpectedly disconnected.
What I have now is the unencrypted factory rom grabed it from the Verizon tool when it was trying to write it to the device. And a Unit that will not accept any writing of roms.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
I also have access to a RIFF-Box and second working SCH-I925 but unfortunately no info about the JTAG pinout of the device.
hope to help

Hello,
thank you for taking the time to read and try to help.
I got an Asus Padfone X from At&t and the refused to unlock it
Asus didnt help either.
not to bore you with details
but here is my noobish mistake tool form, i flashed the asus kernel .zip file to the bootloader using twrp.
now phone wont boot into recovery or bootloader
got the minimal tool which as you know include fastboot and ADB
but it wont detect the device ( it detected it before when i rooted the phone )
I made a backup before i flashed , but the problem i cant flash it to a device that wont go to bootloader or recovery
and wont be detected by ADB.
please guide this lost noob.
Hello Ultimician,
If your device cannot boot into recovery or bootloader it's a hardbrick. Flashing the wrong kernel will cause your device to hardbrick.
You probably still have a warranty, I'd go to your service provider and play dumb: "One day my phone just didn't turn on, I've tried everything even charging it."
If you know of someone that could JTAG your device you could go to them that might work, what the manufacture usually do is they replace the whole motherboard. ( What Samsung did when I bricked my device in any case.. )
Otherwise you could refer to these threads, be careful though they are not necessarily for your device. ( But they might be of help )

thanksfor the swift assistance
thank you kindly
amazon offered me a refund
i will take my chances
Carefully when they send a device back to the maker they can often pull information.like last install and all of that. If you had a back up. I would try to flash the stock firmware. They are ways to do this with jig and other tools. I would try to flash stock every way I could before I take it back. I had s3 and bricked it long time ago.after many hours of reading I fixed it. Please always when flashing make sure it's for your device. Wish you luck2
