Hi
I dont want to take your hope...but if you have allready tried to:
Press button combo for bootloader, button combo for download mode...remove battery and nothing worked...no google logo at all
The PC didnt recognize the device ....same fastboot/adb...no charging sign..
So the display stays black...you have the same issue like me.
I have had same a few weeks ago..and some others too.
Only way out is send it to samsung for warranty-repair.
In my case the mainboard and the nand where changed because the´re messed up.
good luck
S.R.

So you cannot even get into the bootloader?
I'm having the same problem...No bootloader...Nothing :crying:
Nexus S GT-I9020T Bricked
similar problem here. i took the batery out while the phone was booting and cant switch it on now.cant get in to fastboot mode (power + vol up).
i tried AdamOutler's UnBrickableResurrectorR40 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1397393). it didnt detect my phone, so i made the hardware mod recomended by AdamOutler ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1566475). Now it detects the phone and it is able to load the modified SBL.But the phone still stays dead.
why dont u guys try the tool and let us know how it goes... cheers

yes,any mod can't in.
similar problem
My battery fell out while my phone was booting. (Bought a spare battery and it didn't make great contact and the phone turned on and then lost contact with the battery while it was booting.)
I've tried multiple battery pulls, charging both batteries, plugging it in and unplugging it, different chargers... Nothing works.
I bought this phone used without a warranty so I'm screwed for just taking it back to any store to get it fixed and I can't afford to buy a new phone. :/
Gonna try that Ubuntu fix when I get home but as for now I have no idea what I'm going to do to fix this phone... >_<

[Q] Galaxy Ace 2 does not boot at all after firmware flash

Hi, I am new at this forum and i would like to ask you the following question.
recently i bought a samsung galaxy ace 2 phone and today i decided to try a custom ROM with, being a Linux geek for years...
So i chose Kyrillos Rom for my phone and after several failures i got to understand that before i try to load the custom ROM i had to upgrade my firmware and kernel as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679
So i used Odin tool , and tried to flash the new firmware as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118119,before proceeding to kernel flash.
Everything went smooth , Odin showed 'pass' indication and my phone after the procedure tried to reboot...and never woke up...
From then i cannot boot my phone at all, i mean neither in usual mode by pressing the power button nor in recovery or download mode. It does not respond to any of those, the screen and the buttons are completely black no matter how many seconds i press them
When i started the procedure my battery level was at 70% and just to be sure i connected it to USB port so as not to empty the battery during the procedure..Now that i connected it to its' charger it does not show the charging indicator
Any ideas as to what happened and how i can fix my problem?
Thank you in advance and keep up the good job!!!

It seems that i followed the exact directions in the posts mentioned, but my phone is I8160P and not I8160 something that i had not noticed up until tonight,so i think that it has something to do with this, even though i cannot understand how my motherboard died because of the firmware upgrade even thw firmware is made for another model...

it does have everything to do with that but it seems more like a hardbrick to me so does the phone charge or have u tried a lot of times to boot it or maybe pull the battery out for 5 min then put it back in and try to go to recovery or download if none of these stuff work then i think its dead

Yes i tried both normal boot pressing the power button and recovery - download modes and it did not power on in any of those cases. Also i tried pulling out the battery for 5 - 10 minutes and it did not power on afterwards either.Is this something that happens often because it seems really strange to me. If it has nothing to do with the firmware upgrade and it is a hardware issue then ok, i can sent it to repair it but if i have already lost the warranty due to root and firmware - custom recovery etc.. then what exactly do i have to do..

i don't think they will know since the phone won't boot up at all they know by going to download so give it a try and take it to a service and if ur in europe rooting does not affect ur warranty hope this helps

[Q] How to fix bricked tablet?

I have a samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet.
I was trying to root it.
After I thought I was done rooting, and went to turn it on, the "samsung" startup screen just rolled from the top of the tablet to the bottom.
About 24 hours later, (now) I attempted to start the device back up to try again, and I couldnt. I am sure it has battery, the device simply wont turn on.
I am not tech savvy, I have no idea why this is.
Help? It's my mom's tablet and I dont have the money to replace it!

So first of all seeing that you have a samsung tab 10.1 I think you should go to the Samsung tab 10.1 threads and ask this question as there are more people who can advice you. Also you will find many guides on how to return to stock.

BRICKED 7inch Irola Tablet...PLEASE HELP
I am in DIRE need of some help with my tablet. I received this irola dx752 tablet bricked and cannot fix it for the life of me. I am able to hold power and volume up and get into recovery system version 4.2.01. I Have tried a factory reset and a wipe system cache and the tablet just reboots to the green robot with and exclamation mark. If I press volume up, it brings me back to the system recovery. Now i am not very versed in ADB but I tried to sideload just about every firmware I could find for an a13 allwinner a8 cortex 7inch tablet, since the irola website has taken down its firmware. Also, fastboot will not work on this tablet whatsoever (it just says waiting for device) when i enter any command. I have never seen this tablet boot into a rom of any kind and therefore cannot tell if USB Debugging was ever enabled. I also Have tried different drivers but the one that seem to hold is the Android ADB Interface. CAN ANYONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS OR SOME HELP? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I think your phone is bricked.
If it can show anything on the screen. Try also recovery and download mode. Your phone is soft bricked. There are lots of guides on the internet to unbrick your device.
If nothing is happening using any key combination your phone is dead.
thank you
thank you. but there is no key that helping. its not torn on... how i know what part i need to change?

Try to put your phone into the download mode (google for it). If it is possible to put your phone into the download mode, you can flash the stock ROM for your device again using Odin. Just look at google for some guides to do this.
If you nothing is working and you are sure the battery is charged. There is nothing you can do about is...
Hope this is helpful.

[Q] Stuck in Boot loop no recovery and no usb connection to pc

I recently decided to upgrade to 4.4.4 kit kat.
Really dont know a lot about phones, but I've been working with computers for so long I thought it would be easy.....Little did I know....
Basically I used CMW? to flash the rom after checking using a root checker that my phone was definitely rooted. After trying to flash the phone turned off, and is now stuck in a permanent loop from the lg logo to a little green robot. When I plug it into the computer the time between each loop isn't long enough to do anything with it, and the recovery menu just wont work !
I should say when I hold volume down and the power button all I get is a hard reset option, and even when I do it nothing changes.
I really dont know what to do to break the loop, Please help!
The phone is an LG optimus g pro f240...all this for a transparent information bar >.>

No I didn't, but even if I did I cant use it. The phone has no recovery menu at all. Wont even charge so the time I have to fix it is limited. 40% battery left atm.....really stressed, its brand new.

Whew. At least you have an sdcard slot, that gives us hope!
You'll need an sdcard adapter. Plug your sdcard into your PC, and write the appropriate ClockworkMod image for your device to the sdcard. Plug your sdcard back into your phone, and reboot, but ONLY use the power button, nothing else.
You should be successfully booted into CWM. Write back for more instructions if that works.
And don't forget to thank my posts if I helped!

I will thank a lot when I get this sorted...promise !
Ok I checked cwm and I cant find a rom for my phone !
Pretty confused. I'd like to return to the stock mod is that possible?
What is the "stock mod"?
EDIT - Just found this site, it may be of use to you: Hard Reset LG Optimus G Pro f240.
I tried all that, nothing doing.
The original rom was kit kat 4.4.2 I think...maybe 4.4.1
Any chance they might work?
Going back to 4.4 would be the best idea in my opinion.
The question is how!
shouldn't there be some sort of management suite for LG? sony has pc companion, and last night i found myself in the exact same situation as you, and i was able to repair my phone, because i messed it up and it was boot-looping.

Yeah there is, but the boot loop is so short, a few seconds really, that I dont have time to do anything. The computer never registers is.
I tried everything I can think of....even with the sd card in nothing happens.....Just goes from the green robot trying to repair off then back to the lg logo then back to the green robot....sigh, is it possible to be perma boot looped?
I always read that when the phone is turning on there is hope. Looks really unlikely for me.
