I was replacing the stock recovery file with Krylon's Modded Recovery Binary.
I deleted the stock recovery file in /system/bin (copyed it to external sd) after pasteing the Modded Recovery Binary in /system/bin.
I had the CWM 3 file already copied to my external sd card
I turned off my phone to reboot it and the phone is now stuck on the black screen with the white Samsung Galaxy S 4g logo. All my soft keys are lit up too.
Is my phone bricked? How do i get into download mode? What can i do to fix this?
Im Very noob and going to have a "pro" fix if it can be.
Im a blue collar worker and dont work at a pc. Im traveling to work and wont be able to reply in real time but PLEASE leave comments. I will be checking in when i can...

Hold both volume keys and then plug the usb from the computer to your phone to access download mode. If it doesn't work u can buy a unbrick jig from ebay. If you get into download mode using volume keys then flash back to stock. Phone should be turned off if trying to put into download mode

Do I have a soft brick or a hard brick?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA Premium App
You have a soft brick. This should be fixable getting into DOWNLOAD MODE and using ODIN. Do a few searches for both. A JIG may be necessary to obtain download mode as well. Search all topics I have listed in all CAPS and you should be good to go! PM me if you have any questions...
same thing happened to me, all I did was I downloaded whitehawkx KD1 kernel which is perfect because your phone will already be rooted and has the file so you could put CWM3, after you download it get into download mode and flash with odin, if you need any more help please let me know

Thanks for the good news. I feel much better knowing what needs to be done. I will search your topics. I have been reading everything I can on this subject. I probably should have done that before I made this post. It's my first brick and I was desperate for info.
I'm going to try to fix it after 2pm (with help)...I'm in work and its the longest day of my life today. Lol.
If I need to PM you I will for sure.

I'm very noob but there are people who will help you on here for sure.
I had a "soft brick". Phone stuck on Samsung galaxy s 4g splash screen with my soft keys lit up too. I searched and read in this forum. I went to our 4g development section and found a post called Noobs guide to Odin.
From that post I downloaded the samsung drivers I needed for the pc I was using (32 bit in my case), downloaded Odin 1.7 and then downloaded krylon360 stock/root rom.
I ran Odin, got my phone into download mode and then flashed the rom with no problems.
I'm new and in work so can't be too much help. Everything you need to know has been talked about on our forum. People will help you. Good luck!...
Maybe you should post your own topic in this GENERAL section to let people know you are bricked. Put I'm bricked in the subject line. A fresh topic might get peoples attention faster. Like I said I'm new.

what did you do to brick it? we need some details to help you out. are you able to get into download mode?
Ok so I recently tried to flash a rom, can't remember which one but it was CWM flashable. I followed the instructions to flash it to the t. Something went wrong and wouldn't let me restore my backup so I just wiped everything hoping that would clear the issue but it didn't. Now the phone WILL NOT boot. It is stuck on the Galaxy S 4G (exclusively from t-mobile) Splash screen and won't budge. Won't go to recovery mode, download mode (tried several ways), nothing...please give me advice. I tried making a jig but it didn't work...I think I may have gotten the wrong resistors though. Tutorials say 301kohm and i picked up a five pack of 100kohm and twisted three together, cut open and old usb cable, etc; and it won't work....please please please help. This is my gf's phone. Please don't tell me i have to send it in for repair. FYI I'm no noob, I've flashed plenty of roms to her phone and such before and never had this problem.
Look at raverx3x's how to debrick without a jig thread

If you are still in the Galaxy S/T mobile splash screen then you ARE IN DOWNLOAD MODE.
Find an Odin ROM in the SGS4G Bible to flash and you should be good. If you still have problems with setup connection it might be a problem with your drivers.
I had an issue with drivers before and just downloaded Kies Mini off of Samsungs website. Kies will install the drivers for your phone
Yeah I think that may be the problem cause I read in another post that you can flash with Odin from that screen but couldn't get the comp to recognize the phone. Downloading kies mini now. Hopefully it will work.
Thank you so much for your help. I can't believe I didn't realize the driver thing...its always the little things you forget that matter the most. Lol. Thanks a lot man. Now successfully flashed with odin and booted up.

From what I have read (and my experience) on our forum these few+ months is that our original stock usb cable is DEPENDABLE and that aftermarket ones can cause problems for people. Just saying.
Your fancy one might have been enough to get the job done. But our stock usb cable is Proven. If you have it use it. I can say this with certainty.

Unless yours is defective our broken of course.

I NEED HELP!!
Hi i just tried this using the guide above, after step 11 i heard linda come on and say 4 minutes remaining, then after it said two minutes remaing in operation and then the phone went blank and restarted i guess?
the samsung galaxy 4g screen came on and then a static screen with different colors...it stays on that screen for a little bit then turns off and goes back to samsung galaxy 4g screen and then back to the static screen. then it does shuts down and repeats the above.
idk if i did anything or how to stop this...im actually sitting by RIGHT NOW, any kind of help would be appreciated. THX!
---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------
now i Took the battery out after a while of the phone doing that. and restarted it. it goes to the samsung galaxy 4 g screen then the static screen and goes blank (black) but its still on because if i hit the home key the lights on the bottom light up.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP
ps. my phone was rooted.
You did something wrong but as long as you can get into download you should be fine

Sounds like you have some bad bootloaders. Follow the GB starter pack link in my signature and you should get on gingerbread.
Hey i tried the link in your signature and i followed it properly.
but somehow I am still stuck!!
i used Darky's rom 10.2 extreme edition or something (if there is a different better one and one that is more compatible PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!)
now after step 12, i rebooted and I am stuck at this screen loop:
samsung galaxy 4g t-mobile screen then it flashes to Galaxy S powered by darky's rom screen and then shuts off then again Samsung galaxy 4 g t-mobile screen and keeps looping back
PLEASE HELP ONE MORE TIME PLEASE!
Sounds like you flashed a ROM that wasn't intended for the SGH-T959V. Vibrant/Galaxy S roms won't work on the Galaxy S 4G. I recommend you find a ROM from these forums and flash that.
if you could post a link to a great rom, either the one you are using or one you think is really good, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!
and another thing, once i find a rom from these forums, all i do is just repeat the steps from your link ONE MORE TIME!?
the development forum is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1068
pick one of the gingerbread roms from there. the newest gingerbread roms are based on KH1 or KH2. KG4 and KG6 will also work, but they are a little bit older.
hey i did everything over again, i used audiophile rom
after the step 12 according to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223765
i hit reboot, the phone keeps opening up to CWM Vood lagfix recovery
how do i get past this?
Are you hitting reboot recovery by mistake?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
no i keep hitting reboot system now
then i tried the power off button and still nothing..same thing..back to voodoo lagfix
That's an odd one. Maybe try taking the SD card out then reboot. I'm sure someone more advanced will have a good solid answer.

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
Odin can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers

i agree. New users should read everything before doing anything. I was silent stalking this forum for at least a month before i posted. And ussing the search feature never hurts either
Greetings ladies and gents,
I have a bit of an issue with a co-workers phone. It seems that he attempted to root his Blaze and completely screwed it up. You see, I'm from HTC land and have never rooted a "Sammy" before. I have no issue with those devices but my friend is a bit "special" and has trouble boiling water if you gave him the instructions.
What I know:
He told me that all he d/l'd was ODIN and the USB drivers and nothing else. Once he connected his phone via USB his problems started. (I really don't believe ANY of this...But I digress)
Now his phone only does 2 things... 1. It will attempt to boot and never completes. You get the BLAZE 4G exclusive to TMobile splash and the progress bar an freezes shortly after. 2. I can trick the phone into the stock recovery with a bit of prodding.
Other than that, nothing but the battery screen showing it charging.
I'm trying to help the guy get rooted, so can someone lead me to a bit of help?
Thanks in advance...:silly:
Can you access download mode?
Its vol up + vol down then power. While connecting the USB to computer.
Once you see the white Samsung logo flash, release the power.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T769 using Tapatalk
Not at all unfortunately. I've tried the Vol +/- & power key presses but the phone will just vibrate in 1-2 second intervals until I release. Nothing else.
Once the phone attempts to boot...then freezes, my PC will detect it in Odin (w/ COM 3)
You got to time it right. Let go of power then wait 10 seconds and let go of everything.
This is necessary

There isn't really a "best" ROM. But cyanogen mod is a great start, I used their new installer and its works. Don't worry when its says that the device is a Galaxy S 2, its a little bug, but you still get cyanogen mod for the Blaze. If your friend likes cyanogen mod and wants more customisability, he should try the other ROM on the forum. I hope that helped!
