[Q] Sidekick 4G Bricked!!!!!!! odin dosent work

tried installing glorious overdose but I tried to wipe data, and it stayed there for about 10min so i pulled out the battery. i tried a second time but without wiping data (i didnt know WTH i was thinking) so it rebooted and was stuck at boot screen saying create new partition and system not avaliable (sumthing like that) so i decided to try odin so i can go back to stock firmware and it finished and now it stays at the bootscreen blinking i tried recovery im stuck.

before you odin, reinstall the phones drivers on your pc. connect the phone to the pc without the battery, hold the volume down button and the trackpad and reinsert the battery. when you odin, make sure only auto reboot is checked, and put the pit file in the pit slot and the tar file in the pda slot. if you use kies to update firmware, reinstall drivers again before updating.

You may need to check "Re-Partition" in Odin.

shouldnt need to repart, in fact it may be a bad idea. every time i odined and accidentally had repart checked, it screwed something up. most recently the stock messaging app didnt work after odin. i have since switched to go sms, but still made sure i had a clean firmware install. i would try odin without repartitioning first and see how that goes. if something is wrong, you can always odin again. the first time i tried to flash a rom i bricked because i flashed cwm through rom manager. the thread where i found the odin file said make sure only auto reboot is checked. besides, if the rom didnt flash correctly, then it didnt convert any partitions anyway.

ok i had the same problem for the first time i tried to install a custom rom, theres a way that you can fix it with out odin. follow this steps... i promise it will work.
1)boot into the red cwm voodoo lagfix recovery
2)wipe data/factory reset
3)wipe cache partion
4)after all the steps above are completed, go to apply sdcard:update.zip
the its going to take you to the regular cwm once there follow this steps...
1)install the custom you want to install, but make sure that it doesnt need special mounts and unmounts, so follow the instruction flash the rom and it should fix it

Heimdall worked perfectly when I bricked my phone.

Thank you!! ^ I was boutta cry when it was Rebooting .... Yea I guess I messed something up with odin

I tried the method above but ater reboot it stays on the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G boot screen and does nothing else. I'm hesitant and Flash Bootloader but what do you all think?

flashing bootloader in that package doesn't break it.

My advice is do whatever it takes, and besides, don't worry about breaking something that's already broken, if you know what I mean...

This is my current problem as well, except I have tried checking flash bootloader and have also tried Odin, but all to no avail. Can anyone help me? This is my situation:
I've had my sidekick for about a year now and have gone through the typical problems of a sidekick user. Then yesterday, my sidekick's alarm woke me as normal, but I was unable to turn it off because my touch screen wasn't working. So i battery pulled, restarted, and noticed that the screen stayed on the "T-Mobile Sidekick 4g SAMSUNG" start up screen and did not budge. I tried battery draining, more battery pulling, and nothing worked. So i did a lot of research on here and other websites and decided to use Odin. After initial problems of a newbie, I eventually figured it out and got it to RESET and PASS, but the subsequent reboot only caused my phone to be stuck in the same Sidekick start up screen it has been getting stuck in. Similarly, after many tries, Heimdall has done the same for me. Sorry if that was a long read (also, I hope its cool that i bumped this thread with my own problems), but is there anything else i can do? I'd really like to use my phone again..

I've been working for hours trying to figure out how to fix it, and I just don't know. The end result is always just the freezing at the t-mobile start up screen..Also, since i forgot to mention, I can only get into download mode with the volume down+trackball method because otherwise it would just go to the regular start up screen and freeze. I don't know if that means anything, but yeah.

Have you used heimdall yet? I bricked my SK4G the other day when flashing a rom and heimdall put it back to stock within 5 minutes of me bricking it.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately yes, I did. With flash bootloader unchecked and checked. It says it disconnects after everything is done and it restarts, only to become frozen at the start screen again =/. I don't know if there is some silly detail that im missing that makes the flash rather than just restart, but all i can manage to make it do is restart.

Sigh. Guess im going phone shopping.

How did u get the phone in dl. Mode
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

I had to plug the phone into my computer without the battery, hold volume and the track ball, then pop the battery in. Any other attempts would simply start it up/freeze it.

Ok did u have heimdall started first?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

And what rom did u last have?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA

I'm not entirely sure if I had it started first, so I'll try it that way now. And the last ROM that I had? Honestly not really sure what that means =p, but i've never flashed one and I had the most recent sidekick update installed (though it is possible that I had done a factory reset at some point to fix an error).
---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
Just tried it. Without flashing bootloaders, it finishes and restarts to my frozen start up screen as normal. However, when i flash bootloaders, it gets to "uploading pit", but the upload fails and it reboots my phone. But this time, it reboots into download mode. A welcome change from my start up screen. Maybe there's hope.

I killed the phone! please help!!

HELPPPP!!! I FU**ed my SGS2!!!
I've flashed a lot of phones(the last one a year ago) but never with odin. The whole point is that I've rooted the phone, open odin (didnt know how to install the kernel) so I download CWM5. In the odin menus I've choose the CWM5 and click flash... I DONT KNOW WHY I DID THAT :S
Now the phone goes through the Samsung i9100 black and withe screen and then goes completly BLACK!
Any help please!!!!! I work with it! :'(

I did the same thing a few days ago. As long as you have your current rom downloaded on your computer you can put your phone in ODIN mode (power + vol down), start ODIN on computer, plug in phone. Once ODIN sees your phone click start. Since right now you can't see anything on your phone due to the kernel, redoing it will straighten you out.
I fixed mine this way and haven't messed with the kernel since.
Tappin' from my SGP 5.0

The thing is that I cant eter odin recovery mode
I have CWMR5.... I try with (vol up + power btn + central btn). And the CWMR5 is there.
Another thing is that I dont have a bootloader lower than lph
I cant install another rom
So.. I'm stuck here
any ideas??

simple!!!
well u can simply flash the rom to stock one by putting it in download mode and after that selecting the stock rom in the pda
after that u need root as well deoxidise the rom so that rom could be properly installed!!!

Maybe this will help:

Thanks people!
I've finally placed a CM9 rom in the flash memory and installed it with google apps.
Clear cache
wipe data

and reboot...
I've lost all my work postits but I got my phone back!
and with 4.0.4
Thanks guys!! all of you for your time answering!

I'm happy you got your phone working again!!!! I was crushed when I thought I killed mine too.

No download mode on phone. Is it gone for good, then?

So, I am running MIUI, which has problems with tethering. I decided to go for the latest value pack released by samsung. As said in the thread, I repartitioned my phone, using latona.pit. Now, I was supposed to reboot and go back to download mode to install any xxkpe rom, to continue with flashing. But, my phone just show a black screen, with no info. Download mode is not working. Odin does not detect the phone either.
Any suggestions? I am trying to reflash the pit file, again to make sure, and scouring over the forums, in the meantime. Let me know, if I am missing something.

Did that. Wasn't working for a couple times, panicked, and posted here. Thought, it might have something to do with that value pack itself, so posted there too. Didn't know, two posts counted as spamming. What a way to encourage participation. Thanks a lot.
Update on issue:
Tried taking out battery and reinserting everything. Multiple restarts, and somehow got odin to detect it. Still no screen for download mode. Tried flashing the firmware, and is stuck in a boot loop now. What next?

Volume Down + Home Key + Power to get to download mode.
I use Odin to flash. I have 3.0 version, which shows blue icon on the com port, the phone is connected to, instead of yellow from older versions. To flash pit, I used the button saying pit to select pit file. Default options, that have auto-reboot, and F. Reset Time enabled. Everything else, is disabled.
Same method for flashing firmware. Only thing, I select pda option instead of pit, while selecting the file. Odin says, pass for both times, that is flashing with pit, and flashing with actual rom.
There is no download screen, one that says "Downloading target", or something like that. Earlier, it was not even getting detected in Odin, which is solved after multiple reboot. After flashing rom, it gets stuck in boot loop.
Not sure, if I should change any option in Odin, so I haven't tried that.

I've encountered such an issue with a couple of ROMs that i tried on my other device(mi-280).
Try flashing the ROM twice then try to reboot. I did clear cache and dalvik cache between 2 flashes(not sure why). Worked for me.

Phone is stuck in boot loop, so can't clear any cache. Rom is stock, so there is no CWM recovery mode. Flashing twice is good idea. Will try it out and post result soon. Also, downloading another rom. This hotfile uploading is a bit of a hit-and-miss for me, as power cuts are way too frequent here. It is possible that rom might be faulty.
Edit:
Same result. Still stuck in boot loop. Flashing twice didn't worked.

Its better to flash xxkpe firmware twice & check whether phone boot properly or not. If everything goes well then flash ddlf2 stock rom.

Downloading the same. Power cut for 3 hours made me stop it earlier. I had xxkpq earlier, which is not working. I thought xxkpq was also an official release, so it should have worked.

He's on stock now, so got no cwm recovery.

Issues installing stock rom and stucking on stock recovery.

I'm really worried about this, I've tried to install SGH-I997-UCKE3-STOCK-One-Click and Stock_SGH_I997_UCLB3_Repartition-One-Click several times, sometimes I got the factoryfs upload failed error or the dbdatafs upload failed error in a given percentage (about 60% and 78%... sometimes at 100%), all in the Heimdall .jar file, which in other Infuses I've worked with I install them several times, so believe me I've tried this a lot of times and never fails me, this is my first time with this issue and I really need someone to help me here since this Infuse is not mine and it's starting to freak me out
After two or three tries, it goes well and install the stock rom perfectly, BUT, no matter wich one I install, Froyo or Gingerbread, it always stuck in stock recovery, I tried to wipe everything and restart... and then after the Samsung logo I get the stock recovery. I've see a bootloop several times, but this it's kinda different since after the Samsung logo the phone restarts and get the Samsung logo again... but being stuck in the stock recovery, well, this is the first time I see this.
The phone still have Download Mode, but I'm telling you, it gets those upload errors I described up here. I get the phone rooted and with Gingerbread 2.3.6, but my friend wanted me to reset everything and get it to stock Froyo or Gingerbread.
Can anyone help me with this?
Please.. thanks in advance.

after you successfully flash the stock rom, go to post #2 to flash the recovery kernel.
If you want to, before you flash recovery kernel, delete the voodoo folder in your sdcard.
The recovery kernel will convert your files system into voodoo ext4 from stock rfs

HI, I've had the same situation what i did to resolve it was that after flashing the rom (STOCK gingerbread) I've checked and flashed the bootloader and the phote started up normally.
Hope this will help.

Follow qkster's directions and you should be good!
Be careful if you decide to flash the bootloaders since a bad flash of those will hardbrick the phone.

Actually this is not a big issue.. but need a bit workout to solve this..
First thing is dont be panic and be aware of what you are doing..
What happened now is a sift brick.. It happened because of the errors caused during installing CWM and which prevent you from booting.
The solution is to flash your phone with the original stock firmware of Galaxy Core using Odin after going into download mode. Hope you are familiar with the process.. Feel free to ask if you have doubts.

Hi,
I kinda have a similar problem. Installed cwm through adb, as the phone wont detect in odin. Then booted into recover, made backup and installed Kit-cat rom. Now the phone wont boot at all. Just comes back to recovery. I tried restoring backup, still doesnt work.
Also tried monster rom. Still the same problem.
Now i cant even flash stock, as it wont detect on odin. However other galaxy core's detect and work fine.
Is there anything i can do to restore.?
Cant even take it to samsung, as it'll boot into custom recovery and they will know i messed up the phone.
Any help is really appreciated.. thanks..

See whether your phone is getting detected in some other PC, there is chance your micro USB port might have been damaged.

The solution is to flash your phone with the original stock firmware of Galaxy Core using Odin after going into download mode. Hope you are familiar with the process.. Feel free to ask if you have doubts.

I face a harder problem considering that my I-8262 Duos, rooted and with custom CWM, blocked at the first try to install from zip Monster$. Then the bachup md5 mismatched and the device isn't detectable by Odin (any version). Flash Stock have I tried with no sucess. Adb sideload gives me a sintax error. Maybe there the error is mine. Only for notice of fellow reader. Acepting suggestions.

When you connect your device to PC, you are not getting any response from PC or is it showing USB device not recognized. Hope you have Kies and all drivers present on your PC.
Md5 mismatch is foubd for your Nandroid backup right?
First you try installing a ROM zip from recovery. Also do full data wipe,cache and all cleared. Search in forums that you can get a flashable zip of official firmware.
