Not sure if my phone is bricked or not

Basically when I boot my phone up, all it shows is an image of a phone, a sign with a ! in the middle, and the pic of a pc. Is there any possible way to fix this or do I have to send it back to tmobile? If it helps I dont think my phone is usb debugging mode either

You should be able to fix . try this.

I'm nit able to get my phone into download mode or recovery. Everytime I boot it up it shows the same screen I mentioned in the OP

Open Odin 1.7 on your computer and plug your USB into your PC. Now take out the battery and hold down volume keys while plugging in USB and putting battery in. Should bring you to download mode. Once in download mode download kd1 put it into PDA and go for it.
Note:it dosent have to show up in download mode to actually be in download mode. If it shows up a little yellow box means in your in download mode.
Best of Luck

At the moment Odin doesn't recognize my device, nor does Heimdall. I do have the drivers installed though

I believe I have a similar issue, from Krylon's KD1 CWM, i Rezipped correctly, flashed, this this happened..
However, phone sits on Galaxy s4g boot up screen forever.. left it for 15 minutes now.
Also phone will no longer boot into CWM, looks like this may have bricked me.
Yes I did wipes, yes i followed the re-zip instructions correctly, yes I've flashed roms I know the drill.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or does this rom take forever on the first boot? 20+ minutes? doubt it...
And I cant boot back into CWM, Or stock recovery so i'm not sure how to fix this.
It literally either sits on the first Galaxy S 4g screen, or if i hold three button salute, it acts like it would normally boot into recovery, and cycles over and over with no recovery boot.
**UPDATE** Got mine fixed, odin+download mode

I got the drivers from this site and I had Odin running before I tried to put my phone into Download mode, Odin didn't not pick it up

So I got it figured out. You were right about using running Odin before hand, I just had to use a different usb cable. I brought my phone back. Thanks for all your help

[Q] Device completely unusable :( PLZ HELP

I tried following cyanogen wiki on an Inspire 4G. It didn't work and gave "Incorrect Model ID" error.
So I switched to use Hack-Ace tool. Everything worked as expected and I guess I was going good. When Hack-Ace completed, the phone went into an infinite look showing HTC logo then blind to a black screen with background light ON.
I could ADB and reboot in bootloader where I clashed the CM7 ROM. Every step went through fine and it restarted. Now all I get is nothing.
The device shows the HTC Logo on white screen after leaving a while and the vibrator is ON constantly. It doesn't help really but keeps doing that. It will only stop if I remove battery.
Plugging the device into USB doesn't detect on PC.
When tried charging, it shows the error messages and nothing happens, no buttons interact.
I guess I have a full brickd phone now

Have you tried flashing stock ruu thru bootloader

Download and flash this thru bootloader.

Yah, try the ruu. Seeing how it at least turns on means it might be fixable. Can you get into recovery?

You font nerd recovery with that file. Just out it on the root if your sdcard. Meaning not in any folder and boot into bootloader...not recovery then it will recognize the file then just follow onscreen instructions

Dude download the PD98 file above it is the rooted updated gingerbread ROM. Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)

You need to hard-reset it and run odin again.

Here's a link to how to unbrick the phone

I think it just means that the phone is bricked and can't access recovery mode. It happened to me once when I've incorrectly flashed the phone via odin. Everytime I boot to download mode it will show that screen. Phone is still flashable via odin though. It's like the download mode of bricked phones

If you want to get it working perfectly, just hard-reset it, instructions are in the unbricking post.

Guys I have recovered my phone lots of times! Just a bit curious about the screen instead of a completely blank screen!

It's called the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH..
Probably some symbolism to show that you have screwed your phone(only temporarily of course)

Bricked???

I have been around xda for some time, and today i made the most bonehead move. I accidentally flashed a Vibrant image through ODIN on the Galaxy S 4g. Dont know why i even thought of going into the Vibrant forum instead of the s 4g fourm. Needless to say, the phone is not working now. I assume it is Hard Bricked with no recovery in sight.
Is there ANYTHING you guys can recommend?

Does it do anything when you turn it on?
Can you get into download mode?
does the pc recognize it if you try the download mode button combo, even without the screen working?
Did you flash a bootloader or just a ROM?

Will a jig get me going?

[Q] Bricked GT-P5113

I was trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 for the first time. The process started, but failed. Now I'm stuck on the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. The device will turn off and back on, but remains on error screen. Seems to be trapped in download mode (as I can still see the download progress bar). Go Mobile and Odin say the device has connected to PC.
Anyone know of anything to fix this? Should I just revert to stock ROM and try again later?

can you actually boot in to download mode? power and vol down after power off? I know you say it seems to trapped in download mode but they're different! If you can, flash a stock rom from sammobile.com

I cannot boot into download mode. When I turn it off, it simply flashes off for a few secs then goes back to the error screen on its own. Does the same thing when I turn it back on myself. No logo screen. No droid. Nothing.
EDIT: Unplugged device entirely and retried the stock ROM in Odin. Finally worked! Looks like it might be fixed now.

I think my cord might have an issue (or they're just testy in general). I was noticing the battery wasn't fully charging for a while before all this. After the whole brick issue, I plugged it in to charge and it started flashing the "loading charge (empty battery + loading circle)" screen on and off until I unplugged and re-plugged it. I suspect that this is why the rooting failed in the first place.

Hi you may use cf auto root for gt p5113 with odin.this happend to me couple days ago.

I also bricked my tablet. Searched wide and low for ideas on how to fix. But I can't find a thing. I cannot get into Odin mode or recovery. Just hangs on the battery charging screen. My windows 7 computer can't even recognize it in Kies or odin. Yes the tablet is rooted.
