yes i got the same problem! Anyone with an idea?

A question:
What's you meaning for "emergency mode"? It's to put phone in original Android Recovery mode (push vol down+power)
It is the same thing?

[Q] Galaxy Fit BRICKED!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys need serious technical help..............................
i have rooted my phone with super one click all things were going fine.installed rom manager to backup my stock ROM and committed a mistake and installed wrong cwm and tried to backup my stock rom.selecting the backup option it Suppose reboot my phone in download mode which doesn't happen. and now i dose not have any access to my phone.
I searched whole forum and haven't found any solution.please help me.
Need guidance..

download and install pratyush.creed rom using odin and ur phone will be fine again

Bricked Screen (A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)
To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.
Black Screen of Death:A fully bricked phone will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.
This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector, modified with a 301k resistor as showed in this video:

vol down+home+power <----this combo keys are not working.
Anyways thank u for reply.............

stuck on flashing.........................
when i pressed vol up+home+power,the port was found by odin but it dose not start flashing

I try and schema whit modified resistor but nothing. i measured the level of battery it was at 2,4 V after some seconds it down to 0. Maybe it the battery? i charge all the night and next day i put on USB on PC all the day before it die. Maybe i broke the battery and no phone?

i dont think battery is problem in my case.i have checked my handset by replacing battery to.
Now i think service center is the last option.i'll visit there latest by tommorow.

If you send it to the service, please after they send back to you the phone, post what they do to the phone (change motherboard or change another piece or just flash it) Thanks.

i changed my decision and visited service center today instead of tomorrow. when i handovered handset to them they inspected the handset i front of me. they disassembled handset gone through it.finally they told me that "we will try to resolve your problem with software, and the problem is not resolved then they will change(replace) the board.
lets see what they will do.i'll inform u what they did to my handset..............................

I think u need to go to customer care. (even i bricked my phone once...) but never ever accept that uve rooted ur phone... Thats wat i did... and i got my phone repaired without any further issues!

used rom manager without any problem with my previous phone.......didn't face any problem......but i didn't know that CMD is currently not working with fit.........

[Q] Can only boot by plugging charger????

Hi
Can anyone help please? Also, are there anyone having similar issue.
Issue: Pressing the power button is not starting my device. In order to power on I have to connect charger (not usb with PC) and then press power button. What I have noticed is that once I switch off my phone it gets in to "emergency/recover mode". I came to this conclusion because after I switch the phone off, take battery out and put back in and then connect usb cable with my PC. I can see OMAP driver loads and also in the PC's Device Manager I am able to see LG CDMA.... under "ports".
It was not like this until i started several attempts to flash baseband.
Sequence of actions
Here is the sequence of actions I went through and end up having my phone at this stage
1. Followed the procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2) step by step using LG flash tool. The application was constantly crashing (PC is running on XP pro). Before flashing baseband I flashed GB hence I lost radio.
2. To bring back my radio I had to reflash 2.2 following the same procedure (emergency recovery method) in the link given in baseband flashing.
3. After finishing the recovery flash I could not start my phone using power button. I started thinking that I bricked my phone. I left it for a day. Then I thought that the battery is fully drained and is the reason for not powering on. When I connected charger I started seeing LG logo and also the phone was started. I was more excited and happy that my phone was not bricked. After this point I need charger connected everytime when i want switch on my phone. so, I am scared to swtich off my phone unless I have charger handy to me.
4. I removed all the application (LG flashing related) including LG drivers I installed before. Now I reinstalled all the necessary app and drivers for baseband flashing. This time baseband flashing was done successfully (though at 22%). Then I flashed GB rom and everything works fine.
The only issue i have is, I can not switch on my phone without charger connected.
If anyone knows solution please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have the same problem,
I think its a problem about boot,
when I use lg tools it always gives error, because phone wont boot without charger, so it cant continue upgrading
I try flasing original kdz file from lg flash tool, and use emergency rescue mode,
I dont know but it somehow repair the boot
you can fix permissions before you use lg tools.
what error do you have while using lg tool?
can you post the screen capture

After i uninstalled all the drivers (incl. LG tools) and reinstalled and I am not seeing any more error while using LG tools. I even flashed GB baseband twice but no use. The link you have given explains the same issue I have.

I think you have to install froyo version of baseband and firmware first,
then try

As i said before, the phone stays in the cwm recovery menu and doesn't do anything else. If i turn off the phone and then restart it while pressing the power button and the + button volume, it is detected by the pc and installs the drivers, but nothing else.
If i try to use your method, it doesn't communicate with the pc, phone disconnected, unavailable.
Isn't there any other way..

Ok I've managed to flash the phone. just needed windows xp to work correctly with the drivers.
thanks

Thanks to take time to help me. I've try following the step on your link but on the last step, when the official LG flasher is running, I have an message saying that my phone isn't connect with my computer.

Try to reinstall drives.Remove battery, plug phone to computer, press vol+ button and insert battery.

Is the phone suppose to turn on when i put the battery in?

If you put battery and you keep VOL up ,the phone should start in download mode.

I've succesfuly did it, my phone is working again, thanks a lot.

If it boots it'll get in the download mode. You may not see it but it's there.
Just ready the flash tool and plug whatever rom or baseband you wanna flash then shut down the phone , plug out the battery but be ready to put it back in , hold down the volume + button , plug the usb cable while holding , you're going to hear windows connected and disconnected sounds in this order ;
1. Connected (This'll get you into the fastboot mode , We don't want that at the moment)
2. Disconnected
3. Connected again (You plug the battery in before it disconnects again)
The flash tool should take over and you can release the volume + button.
