Hello, I've flashed many ROMs and the specific one that I flashed I have used in the past. I was resetting my phone and re-installing the ROM and then (after a successful installation) rebooted the phone. It rebooted a couple of times and then went to a black screen. The Galaxy logo didn't even show up.
However, when I plug the phone into my computer it still is aware that something is being plugged in, however ODIN cannot detect it.
I'm assuming I'm hard-bricked but I'm wondering if you guys know what I can do about it before I have to send it anywhere. And if I do end up sending it somewhere, where should I?

Hi XDA, First thing I'm new here.
I've a Samsung Galaxy ACE GT-5830 from long time and I've installed Custom and Official Firmware on my device multiple time as needed. But few days ago I broke my touchscreen so i take it to local shop and they repaired it with some pirate screen, there is a problem with that only the menu button touch automatically contently but i managed to use it in that way. But yesterday when i was trying to install stock firmware in it, everything goes good ODIN says you are successfully flashed, But when phone booted nothing happen it just do a hard reset instead of flashing then i try it again and again but results was same I tried unofficial firmwares too but still nothing happen.
So my question is what happen with my phone is any hardware piece is stolen from my phone which preventing my phone to be flashed or what happned with my phone.
I'll start from the beginning, II was rooted and I wanted to speed up my phone so I tried to use SWAP. I never got it to work for some reason but then out of no where I was on the home screen and then my phone rebooted but wouldn't start again, it got stuck at the T-Mobile 4g LTE splash screen. I was still able to go into recovery and all that. So I decided to format my phone. The. That screwed it up even more because then it got stuck at the Samsung Galaxy light start up screen. So then I used Odin and flashed a stock rom. But that still didn't help it got stuck at the T-Mobile splash screen again. I went into recovery and it said era error. I managed to fix that and that went a way. Then after an hour of searching I was able to boot up my phone because some forum said all I needed to do was spam the volume up and down buttons at startup to get it to work. After that I set up my phone but then I was getting any 4G and I couldn't make any calls but it said I had 5bars. I kept getting a message saying not registered on network. Nothing would make it work. I called T-Mobile and I went into setting tried fixing my apn, tried connecting to T-Mobile again but nothing. They just called me back today and after I gave them my i di number they said it's not working because I rooted my phone. It doesn't have a bad i eu or anything it's just not working. I did see that my imei on my account is different than the imei my actual phone displays. I am able to do wifi calling and that works. So obviously something got jacked up when I formatted my phone. I want to know if anyone can help. I didn't back up my efs because I didn't know I had to, the only thing I've rooted before was my tablet. I have a Samsung Galaxy light SGH-T399 . Can anyone help. Ik my thread was long but I wanted to kae sure I got every little detail.

Good news is, that we have a forum for your device on xda: Samsung Galaxy Light Discussion.
Bad news is that it seems that your IMEI (and maybe your EFS data) is corrupt/lost now.
Here is a guide how to recover your IMEI: [GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
Hopefully it works on your phone too.
Good luck !

Hello everyone! I was sincerely hoping that someone would be able to help. I believe I messed up my phone beyond repair by trying to root it for the 2nd time. I rooted my phone in Sept 2014 and accidentally dropped it and broke the LCD (not the actual screen, but a piece inside of the phone). Samsung replaced the screen but they had to reset it so I lost the root. I wanted to try to root it again today. I already had all the tools; Odin, Superuser, and Philz Recovery. I put the phone into download mode, flashed Philz, and Odin said "Passed". When I put the phone into recovery mode, it didn't look like it did before. It just looked like the android stock recovery. I assumed (noob) that I may have done something wrong. So I tried flashing it again and it failed and was stuck in the download mode (Do not turn Target off). I waited approx 30 min and just said, "Screw it" and pulled the battery. I know stupid. Then I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue message..." I did some research and many people on here and other android forums were telling others with somewhat of the same problem to download the stock rom. I'm currently downloading it but am worried it's going to do the same thing; "fail". I will update as soon as I try to flash the stock rom, but if anyone has other options, I'd so appreciate them.
Thanks so much for helping.....

P.s. I had the most up to date software for Sprint (maybe that was the problem)
Let me start by addressing I know this isn't the sprint thread but there's a lot more development here which equals more help. Plus this issue seems to be able to happen to any variant.
Second, this isn't my device I'm trying to see if it can be fixed for a friend. I'm not that familiar with Samsung devices but I have been able to get them working in the past via Odin or kies but this time I need some help.
So this is what's going on, my friend recently rooted his S6(SM-920P) not sure which method he used (don't think it matters at this stage) and was on stock rom (LP5.0.2) with xposed framework installed. He hadn't changed the kernel AFAIK oh but I did install TWRP for him and everything was working. Long story short he woke up a couple days ago to his phone being unable to turn back on. I told him how to get to download mode and I asked him what did it say on the top left corner it said something like "system binary not SEandroid locked" underneath that it said fac lock
So I had him give me the phone thinking somehow it did a OTA update while he was asleep or something either way I was confident using Odin to flash the firmware would solve the issue. Had the firmware finished flashing I'm confident it would have but halfway through Odin simply froze on installing system. I figured its just gonna take a while 45 mins later it was still stuck at the same spot.
Not really thinking about it I figured I will just reboot the phone back into download mode restart the process it should be fine. Not a good idea. Now all I get is a green screen saying to access the smart switch emergency recovery system. But it gets better.
My computer isn't recognizing the device now. I installed smart switch software and it's not recognizing it. I even installed Kies and it's not recognizing either.
Is his phone toast or what? I tried emergency system recovery but I need the S/N of his phone to possibly get this thing working again, but it boot into anything anymore except the screen that says Samsung switch...
PLEASE HELP ME if it's bricked it's bricked I get that but if there's a way to figure out what to do I'm all ears. Thanks in advance
Hello, I am a NOOB, and...
I recently rooted my lg g2, vs9803aa, using the one click root, but haven't actually flashed any roms on it. I put autorec on to flash twrp, and also had titanium backup on there i was looking at to try to back it up. I restarted the phone earlier today and it is just blank screen now. I try the hard reset and it just buzzes in my hand once and no logo appears on the screen. When i plug it into the computer it generates a bunch of local drives that need formatting, and on device manager it shows as QHSUSB_BULK. I read in other threads that it matters what rom you are using for the possible fix, but i never got as far as flashing one, or recieved an OTA.
Thoughts please?! I really don't want to get a new phone, but at the very least for now I swapped the sim to an old phone, droid 4, for temporary use.
Thanks for any input.
