no, and i don't know how it works

Research. Do some.
Answers are out there. Trust the joker.
Ps. Trust me, your not the first to brick. There is a user that has patiently sat with a soft brick for over a week.
If you did what should of been done before you had a chance to brick there is always a way.
Debug enabled?
Rooted? (In some cases not even necessary to be fixed)
ADB. Almost anything can be done with adb.

Hey there, aforementioned bricked guy reporting in.
Check out the Odin flashable stuff in another thread; that may be your best bet right now. If you can't get into recovery as usual, pop the battery, plug in usb, hold volume up and down, and out the battery is while holding those buttons.
If all else fails, AT&T will replace your phone for free if you got it on contract. I was worried about them denying me because I had a Captivate kernel (it displayed Galaxy S i897 on the splash screen) but they took it back regardless and I got a new phone out of it. Just play dumb with them just in case. ;D
For future reference, don't do anything to your phone just yet that isn't in the development forum. This is not a Galaxy S phone. You'll risk bricking it if you get too ahead of yourself and current development for the device.

Unkrash, I feel this 'oops I probably shouldn't have done that' connection. Especially when you silently recognized I was referring to you. (Didn't want to put put you on front street)
Hows the dightfully new sexy handset treating you?
So far I can tell you what works no problems.
Root
3e unsigned fix
CM Captivate recovery flash
Adhoc wireless fix zip
Prop editor (set my Res at 230 nicely)
I am sure many more work. Just haven't done much more.....bricked one.....don't want to push my luck.
Good luck and look forward to sharing more with users such as yourself.

try heimdall. there is a windows version. post results.
http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
you will need the visual c++ redistributable package as well
this is like odin but you will need 7zip to extract the phone and csc files. you will also need the bootloaders and pit file if you repartition which i believe are in the extra files .zip lost1 posted

i have no luck also with heimdall i this there is problem with the ROM file and there is now ROM except the one posted by lost1. and body can get me a new ROm please that will be my last try
thanx

I never got heimdall the work either.
To be honest, if you did what I did, I'm almost positive an easy fix without much previous knowledge of Android is next to non-existent at this current point. Either there's something wrong with the files posted or we both destroyed it beyond what anyone here can help with atm.
It may be easier to return it, play dumb, obtain a shiny new Infuse and know to play it a little smarter this time. ;D

Hi ,
i tried all the ways to get this phone back but like i said there something wrong with the rom file because i went back and tried to use odin one click and it start to download the file and then stopped with error and after that the phone went dead no life at all and i gave up after a week of try, i went and play the dumb game and got another one. thanx for the advise and tthanx for everybody who tried to help

I have used the jig and it works fine. however, if he is getting the phone and pc with yellow sign between them, that means when he ran odin he selected re-partition. Dont select that one. you can still re odin with the phone and pc with yellow sign between them. download mode after doing that again

[Q] Help Desperately Needed - Need to reroot and USB doesn't work

I think I put myself in a bad situation here...
I spent all day trying to figure out how to root my 5 week old Nexus as it's tethering ability is my only access to the web.
So - step one, I did the one-click method, as the instructions I was finding for "the long way" were written by people who know what they're doing FOR people who know what they're doing.
Once that was accomplished, I downloaded Rom Manager. Unfortunately Rom Manager didn't seem to want to work with One-Click's style of rooting, locking me on the boot screen every time I tried using it.
So, I finally worked out how to root my phone the "normal" way and Rom Manager was working.
Here's where my mistake came in... I was one part frustrated from how long it took me to figure it all out, one part elated that I finally DID figure it out, so I immediately put Cyanogenmod on my phone... without backing it up. I played with it a bit, but realized my mistake, so downloaded the 2.3.3 Stock Rom.
That totally futzed things up for me... First, my USB connection isn't working anymore. The USB cable still powers my phone, and the USB ports on my PC still work, but I can't get a phone to pc connection through USB anymore.
Second, my cell radio isn't working anymore, I can only get anything over wifi. The OTA 2.3.4 update was pushed and installed to me that way (The current version my phone is on now...)
Third, apparently my phone was no longer rooted, so Rom Manager wouldn't work anymore for me. When I go to the bootloader menu and try to Recover, it brings me to an android with a triangle and exclamation point symbol.
Once there, some trial and error brought up a menu that I'd hoped would have let me reroot or reinstall a working Rom, but every one I try gives me a Signature Verification error and aborts the install...
So, I'm stuck... Without my USB connection working, I can reroot my phone, and without rerooting, I can't get a working ROM back in place. If ANYBODY can help me with this, it will be greatly appreciated. If any additional information is needed, I'll do my best to give it. Thank you...

Who is your carrier? Need to know which phone you have.
Also I assume that since you said you rooted the hard way eventually, that means you successfully used Fastboot to unlock your bootloader, yes?
The Android with exclamation point is just the stock Android recovery partition.
The key to fixing your problem will be to get USB connection between phone and PC.
Please plug in your phone to USB connected to your computer, then put your phone into Bootloader mode (Power on while holding Volume Up). On your computer, open a command prompt window and type "fastboot devices" and post what it says.

Can you see the phone in fast boot by usb also have you course factory reset and then try to flash

The big problem is that I'm unable to make a USB connection anymore. My phone is not reading any kind of connection to allow for file transfers or debugging, but it still powers the phone.

It was already installed, but I reinstalled it. I got to the end of the process where it asked me to go into USB Debugging mode and won't finish the install because it's not reading the USB connection.
(Sorry for any delays here... Being a newbie, I have a 5 minute delay between when I can post)

No worries, thanks for trying. If you have hardware failure you might be out of luck. USB connection is pretty crucial for this stuff.
Maybe you can try Odin. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947950

I've been looking into Odin, to see if there's a way I can do it just by pushing the files I need to my phone's sdcard and going into recovery mode. Not looking likely, but I'll read through the thread you linked me and maybe something will pop up. Thank you...
On the plus side, I just contacted Sprint and I *might* be able to get my phone replaced... Much as I'd like to troubleshoot this myself, it's looking like my only option. Too bad getting a phone replaced this early in a contract, just out of the warranty period is a total pain in the neck...

It was downloaded through ROM Manager.
And yes, if I could get back into ROM Manager, I'd warn people NOT to flash their ROM to that. Bad mojo there.

My suggestion is to try and use Odin to flash it back to stock, I don't think Odin needs any drivers to see the phone...

Yeah see the thing is there is no 2.3.3 for NS4G. If you flashed 2.3.3 that means you flashed a GSM Rom on your CDMA phone. Oops! not the first time it has happened I'm sure.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Which totally explains what went wrong... Wow. ROM Manager, I though, was supposed to only bring up ROMs that are compatible with your phone model. Any way somebody can either let the developer know about this, or at the very least put a comment in the 2.3.3 ROM that specifically says it won't work with Sprint's network? That way nobody else will go through the hell I put myself through...
I'm wondering, could the USB connection issue be connected, like the "program" that controls that is integrated with the radio? Just curious, is all. Thanks again for your help!

How did you find astock 233 rom in rom manager, I only see cyanogen nighties oxygen, peter alphonso, extras etc everything is for the nexus a 4g

Yeah. I have the T-Mobile version. When I download through Rom Manager I get a popup that says "select your phone model" or something similar and then two choices: "Nexus S" or "Nexus S 4G". It would be really easy to mess that up.
The good news is that I believe your phone can still be recovered, you're definitely not the first person with this exact issue, and at worst, it sounds like you have a Sprint rep who is willing to work with you. I think Odin is your only chance for a software solution. I can't walk you through Odin though, because I've never used it myself.

Let me know what happens.

Thank you very much for your help (And well, I would've more appreciated it if you hadn't shown me that the problem was all my fault... ).

Bricked Phone after flashing Steve0007's img

I was one of the unlucky testers before Steve0007 closed the thread. Did anyone figure out how to save our Sensation after the bad flash? My phone does not light up or respond to any button presses but when plugged into the computer it is recognized as an "unrecognized device."
I guess this is the risk we run being early testers. Hopefully someone figures it out otherwise I've got myself very expensive paper weight.

I assume no two button rescue? And this should be in q/a or general

These things are usually flash at your own risk.
I would never flash a ruu, unless it's official it could cause problems.

Yes as I said, this happened to me exactly when i had a tmo HD2 and flashed a european ruu and it was dead. I tried everything. You will have better luck to talk to your insurance company.

Have you got ADB installed on your pc? If not start downloading and installing it. I will find some links, in just a sec.

Extract to system 32 or sysWOW64 (64bit)
Try 3 finger salute (VOL UP,VOL DOWN + POWER) with your phone plugged into pc and pc volume up see if it makes a sound like a device has connected.
Whats was this RUU anyway?
if you just need ADB you dont need all of the stuff above or to set up a path if its extracted to those folders

What does it recognize it as?

unrecognized usb device

Ok guys, it looks like the firmware that I posted to another thread from 3.06 bricked few devices. I have flashed it and it worked fine, so i tried again with the package i posted and indeed it is corrupted as it bricked also mine
My device does not respond, so I would think it is dead
I feel sorry for those who have bricked also theirs based on the package i posted.
I am closing my Rom thread and starting now my Rom developments will be for my own use. I will not publish anymore my work.
Again I feel sorry for those who have lost their devices.
Steve

ok so now his rom thread is closed. Why not keep it open and work together to help those with bricked devices attempt to restore them to a working state?
That way you keep your reputation rather than running away after bricking devices?

I'm assuming you really meant your Micro SIM? Anyways also check if fastboot recognizes it with fastboot devices, then you can try fastboot booting a recovery. If you have to have it replaced and get an S3 I've read that HTC will replace with the S4 if you complain, have no source for this though.

yes I meant Micro SIM. No luck with fastboot. I am going the repair route with HTC. Does anyone have experience with this? what is the turnaround like?

It can get pretty bad, it can be just fine. Don't return it unless it registers as QHUSB_DLOAD mode on USB, because that's the only time your phone is really dead.

I think I'm lucky...
A colleague of mine returned his, as he had the same with his One S. However he was running Trickdroid 5.2, so I don't really think Trickdroid is the point here....though he was also running the Tweaks (which do little to governing which could be a cause, not the removal of stock apps).
I have been running 6.2 for a week or so now and haven't found any worry....did have to reflash it (as I accidentally installed Tweaks, causing it to bootloop).
My colleague did say he was deinstalling Ice Age 3 game...but guess that was nothing similar.

I have seen that most people, who are running trick droid, are getting bricked devices. Chances are there that there must a minor glitch or problem in the rom that might cause the devices to become bricked.

[Q] Phone won't boot after flash

Hi there.
I'm on the CarbonRom 17 Nightly.. I think.
I flashed this before bed last night, and the associated Gapps according to GooManager was "AOKP-Cl3Kener-Build-1.1-Hercules.zip" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151010 ) I thought it was some kinda' fancy Aroma installer for Gapps, so I just downloaded and flashed. I woke up to realize that I couldn't boot my phone after installing the nightly 17 & this file.
My phone will not boot. It will not go in to recovery, it will not boot in to download mode, it isn't detected by Odin, but at one point it was detected by windows by some absolutely weird name with USB in the middle of it.
The only options I see are: a) JTAG b) To the Verizon store I go!
Any other thoughts / ideas? Will Verizon be able to see that I have a 3rd party ROM on the phone? My method of flashing did not trip the counter, but there's still a different radio / rom / recovery.
I'm going to leave the battery, and sd card out of it overnight, see if that will do anything.
Thanks for your input.

I'm in the same boat as you, regrettably. I downloaded and installed Carbon no problem, had it running but all of my GApps kept force closing. So I had the bright idea to try the GApps that were listed on GooManager. As soon as the flash finished of the GApps, my phone was done. Black screen, no response, doesn't matter what key combo I try. Only thing I can do that gets anything to happen is plugging it in with no battery. When I do this, as you've stated the red LED comes on. It still won't do anything. Can anyone offer up any suggestions? I'm thinking a warranty exchange is probably our best option, but what do we tell the Verizon reps?

did you by chance have an update in rom manager? there seems to be a problem with the update. odin back to rt66 flash older version of rom manager.
i see you used the no wipe after looking back. you have to wipe to get it to boot.

Okay, I called Verizon this morning, and they're overnighting a new phone to me. I have to return the paperweight.
Will they be able to revive my internal storage? I have evidence of rooting on there, and all my data. Is there any way I can destroy this data before I send it off to them?
Now, when I connect my device, I get a HSUSB device discovered, after googling around I found a driver for it, and installed. Now, in device manager it says Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM8). So basically that's saying it's powered on, right? Odin still doesn't detect a thing, neither does fastboot or adb devices.
Do you think something like DBAN would work?

Should have paid for the JTAG or bought a replacement used phone from swappa or some similar place, but JTAG is the cheaper option. It's a simple concept that we all assume a certain amount of risk when rooting and modding our phones - you break it, you buy it. Don't submit a phone for a warranty claim for something you did. If you don't send the paperweight back, or if they can tell you've modded the phone, they will charge you full retail for the replacement. Like I said, and like SlimSnoopOS said above, JTAG was your best option.

Hi there.
I'm on the CarbonRom 17 Nightly.. I think.
I flashed this before bed last night, and the associated Gapps according to GooManager was "AOKP-Cl3Kener-Build-1.1-Hercules.zip" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151010 ) I thought it was some kinda' fancy Aroma installer for Gapps, so I just downloaded and flashed. I woke up to realize that I couldn't boot my phone after installing the nightly 17 & this file.
My phone will not boot. It will not go in to recovery, it will not boot in to download mode, it isn't detected by Odin, but at one point it was detected by windows by some absolutely weird name with USB in the middle of it.
The only options I see are: a) JTAG b) To the Verizon store I go!
Any other thoughts / ideas? Will Verizon be able to see that I have a 3rd party ROM on the phone? My method of flashing did not trip the counter, but there's still a different radio / rom / recovery.
I'm going to leave the battery, and sd card out of it overnight, see if that will do anything.
Thanks for your input.

I did the same thing. Called verizon and they sent me a new phone I don't know yet if i'll have to pay for a new phone yet. I thought the same thing about a aroma installer dont know why this would be in the link with carbon rom in goo manager . Good Luck.

Stock Verizon OTA 4.1.2
Anyone know where I can get the stock Verizon OTA 4.1.2 (VRBMA2)?

Try using this thread (select same option on flashing bootchains). I just followed and used successfully.

if you have the full protections,,it covers water stolen just about anything..i did the same thing with my nexus last year...all i did was reported stolen but i had to pay 100 bucks...but got a bran new one..then i was able to fix the broken nexus now i have 2...so maybe just put it on water so it can have water damage..but make sure you have the total protection
