I think I may have bricked my phone. I flashed the wrong clockwordmod,with ROM manager,I accidentally hit the wrong phone type. I followed advice I found another forum,to take out the battery,boot into recovery,and then flash the correct clockworkmod. But when I went to boot into recovery,I discovered,Lo and Behold,the damn thing wont boot. I have a a Samsung Galaxy Prevail (Im sorry I couldnt find the forum for it.)
Im wondering,is there anyway at all to fix this? I would love it if there is a solution,Anything,any ideas. All are welcome,please and thank you.
You say it won't boot, does it not turn on at all?! or does it just get stuck at the android logo? if it gets stuck at the android logo you should be able to boot into fastboot, connect to the PC and flash recovery via there.
Wont turn on at all... Sorry I didnt mention that,Ive tried taking out the battery,then holding the volume up and power at the same time,no luck,just holding power,nothing,Power and home,home and camera,etc...
Nothing is turning my phone on. It wont boot at all,its just a black screen. I plugged it into the charger,same thing.

Hate to break it to you but if there is no life coming from it, not turning on into any mode, don't think there is much you can do...
I assumed as much,but I just wanted to be 100% before I gave in and bought a new phone. Thanks though.
Did you try to turn it on by USB cable? Hold Volume UP and plug in the USB cable that will be connected to your PC. If not, try other combinations, like Volume DOWN, HOME and POWER.
No,I hadnt tried the USB cable method actually. Sadly,it didnt work. I have been trying the other button-combinations,nothing. My phone wont even light up when i put it on the charger,it just stays on the same black screen. I havent seen anything but the black screen since I originally removed the battery to install a new clockworkmod.
I've had a similar situation happen to me. You probably mucked up your android OS badly. And for those who don't know, without a proper android OS on your phone, the device can not charge from a standard wall charger or something like this. I've seen people tear a USB cable down and manually charge it like that.
You're battery was probably close to death, and if it wasn't, then something happened that drained it quickly. So try stripping a USB cable and then try turning it on.
I had an issue with my Sensation going back a few months, I was restoring it to stock, when the phone crashed (plenty of battery), and since then the screen does not display anything.
I did some fairly in depth investigation into it, and it turned out that it's a hardware rom issue, and apparently it is something that is repairable by HTC. I would assume Samsung would be the same. But, tbh I'm not sure how Samsung would respond and if they would be able to assist you...
Sorry for your loss!
Its usually pretty tough to reallyyy brick a phone. Similar to a zombie, however I do not recommend shooting or taking a chainsaw to your phone.
Try this take the galaxy plug it in usb into a computer.

Download the jar file. Install when it asks for drivers install the samsung composite run it and if it works (who knows) ull at least be booted into download mode.
If you've already tried it eh if not
Good luck.

Sorry bro, but if your phone is not turning on, no matter what you do, then its probably a hard brick. Time of a J-tag. I dont know if a USB Jig will work for you, but it could force your phone into download mode and you can connect to odin to go back to stock. Besides that or a Jtag, theres nothing else you can do; if your phone doesn't turn on even if you connect the charger. PS. You should have posted this in the i9000 Q&A forums, since you'll get better help there than here, as that place is device specific while here is a General Q&A.

I know its not an Optimus one, but it is basically the same model as the Optimus One, so hear me out.
I have had this phone for two years up until early this week. I was using my Optimus T for regular use when all of a sudden, it started popping up with "application closed unexpectedly" for various applications, then the phone just turned off. I tried turning it back on but it would just freeze at the LG logo, I tried to do a hard factory reset and accidentally put it in "emergency mode!!" As in the one with the yellow screen, so I took out the battery, put it back in, turned on the phone, but the LG logo would only last like three minutes before it would shut down, I put it on the charger and would find that the phone would be in a constant bootloop. I've tried a ton of things to fix this problem, I've searched all over the internet to find a solution to my problem.. nothing worked, I read that I had to root/flash it, but apparently I need the damn thing to be on! Let alone I can't even access the hard factory reset! Please answer this with better solutions, I feel like I'm only one of a thousand android users who have this problem...
Sorry if i cant make a threat about this here.
I was wondering how to load android ios to my motorola droid ultra.
I was factory reseting my phone, since the phone had issues with shutting off randomly, well it shut off in the middle of the process, so i have a soft bricked phone. Wont boot up to anything since it doesnt have nothing to boot up to, sincei t turned off in the middle of reseting the phone.
I went to hard reset after it happend, and clicked to recovey, but theres no recovery either.
Is there a way i can load androi to it via odin or something? Dont want to buy another mother board to swap it. Thanks...

Can it boot to bootloader?
The Dirtydee Z3
Now its good to go, booted up to normal .
I think the issue is the battery tho.
Randomly it shuts off... It wont turn unless i insert the charger, if i remove it it ****s off. Sometimes when its on and the charger is inserted the battery level shows 100%. Other tines if the phone turns on without the charger battery level says 65% but if i insert the charger it shows as 100% again. I also read that it can be over heating thats why it shuts iff randomly but it shuts off every 10 to 20 mns or even less..
Any ideas?
This is my story that happened with my LG G2
I recently purchased a LG G2 F320L, a refurbished one, from aliexpress(I think this was the biggest mistake of all)
I got the phone, I started using it, used it for 20 minutes and just installed antutu benchmark and ran the app and started the benchmark.
Firstly, I'd like to mention that the phone just got warm, just like other phones, during the test. While the multicore performance test was going on, the phone turned off, all of a sudden (Battery was as low as 9% when I started antutu benchmark). I thought that, it was because the battery was too low to run a benchmark app and turned on the phone back and waited, it just showed me the LG logo for 5 seconds, powered off, ended up with a bootloop. :crying:
I thought that the OS or the bootloader got corrupted and stuck and also thought that I could easily fix it by flashing boot.img or the original .kdz using LG flashtool.
I connected the phone to the PC, it was charging from 9% (That means, low battery isn't the reason for this problem). I waited until it charged till 25% and tried turning the phone on again, but, the same bootloop happened again. I downloaded the .kdz file for my exact model and prepared to flash it using LG flash tool. Unfortunately, the phone came out of download mode (Whilst the flashing was going on) and started with the bootloop again. I really got scared cause the flashing was interrupted indefinitely. I didn't know what to do and I just googled how to enter factory reset mode and I finally entered factory reset mode and chose to reset the phone completely. But, it has happened for a while and continued with the same kind of beat-up (But I was able to enter the factory reset mode later on, though) I was pretty much scared at this time and I gave the phone to one of my friends. I showed him the factory reset mode that was still working, but not useful, and I tried resetting 3 to 4 times but couldn't come out of the bootloop. But, suddenly I couldn't enter factory reset mode and the bootloop became pretty much faster that before (Just showed me the LG logo for 3 seconds and rebooted with the same bootloop). Now, no factory reset mode, download mode, and no charging either.
I got to know that it was a really serious hard brick that has ever happened to one's phone!
I handed over the phone to another one of my friends and he dismantled the phone and tried something, then connected to the computer and the computer detected the phone and QHUSB mode was saying 'Searching Windows update' with a loading symbol. He just stopped it there and told me to take it to a good service center (An expert, of course), and he also told me that I was supposed to ask him, to make the QHUSB mode work.
But, after he gave me the phone back, the bootloop was still happening, just like before, but, instead of LG logo, it was showing some bluish white lines on the 2/4 on the screen.
I haven't got time to go to a service center till date, as they might cost me more than I invested on my phone.
This is really serious problem and I need to enter the QHUSB mode and I need to flash the stock firmware cleanly. Please anyone give some time to read this thread and help me out in this situation. AGAIN, I have used the phone for like, just 20 minutes when it was in a working condition.
So, I request any experts to help me out, suggest me the solutions.
Sorry for my bad English, though.
Thanks in advance.
