I soft bricked my phone but for some reason everytime i try to stock through odin it doesn't work and fails at the end. What should i do?
There's another post about someone who softbricked his phone. It's 3 or so posts below yours; go over some of the suggestions made there.
Good luck!

What Rom are you using? Get the one from sammobile for your device and carrier. I assume Odin shows you have a comm port.

Also...It's critical that you check the proper check boxes in Odin and supply the file to the correct type..ie. PDA,ect.
Okay, so i check that guys post , but i did what they did there. And i managed to actually stock in back to stock
I used
Baseband version: 1727UCKJ2
kernel version: 2.6.35.11
Build # gingerbread.ruxkj7
//
Even though i restock my phone, im still having the issue of it turning off randomly when im going through any app and it starts vibrating every second and its hard to turn back on. Sometimes when i would turn it back on it would just go straight to the vibrating process again :l

You would not be able to visually see it. It's internally stuck.

Maybe thats it, how would i go about fixing that? i read about it before but would there be an easier way to remove without opening the actual phone up?

Sometimes running a pinhead around the perimeter of the button and slightly under the lip can dislodge anything stuck there. Short of that, opening up the phone is the best way to fix it. It's not too terribly hard to do.

Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE
If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod
Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.
if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.

I don't think any of romracer's "stockish" kernels have uv/oc patching.
In that case. That sucks. Use your warranty. Your phone killed itself. What a shame
This happened to me as well. I was browsing the web and the phone just died and wouldn't show any signs of life. Tried everything including buying the Samsung Jtag dongle. I got it replaced but now am really concerned about rooting it and loading a new rom. I was on Sky ICS 6.35.

Hi, I was trying to root my phone, a Samsung gt- I9020a (nexus s). I was following a tutorial and When attempting to load a recovery img the first time it did not work so I googled this issue and found a few answers. I proceeded to download and load the “ClockworkMod 6 recovery image” onto the phone by following the steps. Now my phone will not turn on even when holding the volume up+power button startup. Is there anything I can do??? Please help.
Is it completely dead? Will it not display a single bit of light on the screen? Or are you stuck in a bootloop

I'm not an expert, but I know enough that if NOThING will power on the phone then it is hard bricked. However, I don't see how what you did could have possibly done it.... even if you mess up the recovery it shouldn't happen.

See if your computer recognizes it. But I think it needs power for that because usually when you're screwed it at least has some form of life and you can connect. Try anyways, are you sure its not a problem with the battery though?

So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...

Trying to flash just the stock ICS recovery? I didn't even know you could do that without flashing the stock ICS ROM as well. Assuming you actually can and that's not what bricked you, I'd love to keep that piece of information in my back pocket for future applications.

Download kies. That's not gonna help if you're hard bricked though. What did you do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Hi XDA,
I have a problem with my i727 at&t, 3 days ago I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 with Kies, it's all stock ROM no root.
at the begining suddenly turned off and stayed vibrating with the dark screen, but was returning on.
But now only loads the image of Samsung and is vibrating and it does not happen there,
and try with change of battery but it seems to brick of nowhere.
any solution, or another good looking paperweight ?
Have you tried flashing the stock firmware with odin. That would be the step I'd take.

If not, I've had a similar thing happen to me several times before.
You can read about the last time it happened to me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403022 .
It's such a weird and unexpected thing in my mind that I totally forgot about the first time(s?) it happened.
The first time was either when the AT&T JB leaked in 2012 or when the official AT&T JB UCMC1 was released. Rogers JB RUXUMA7 is also sensitive in some weird ways.
When using the AT&T / Rogers JB roms always make sure to turn phone off by the power menu. As just pulling out the battery has bricked my phone twice (or more times when I was testing out roms) with at least the AT&T rom.
Rogers RUXUMA7 has it's own quirks, a CWM (both older and newer version) backup of this rom restored will have gallery and phone forceclosing. Even with wiped data & cache for those particular apps..
