SK 4g brick while flashing ROM

Hi, so i just rooted my sidekick 4g today with superoneclick, and it went well. After the rooting i downloaded the ROM manager tried to flash the ROM, because of the 3e problem on the CWM, i had to use the fix on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052991
So I got the fix and had the ROM i wanted (GingerClone+v2+[AospMod]+Update2), I went to recovery mode and everything started loading. Few seconds later my phone rebooted itself, when my phone turns up, and the flashy Samsung Sidekick 4G graphics came out, nothing else came up. The screen froze at the start up flash.
So can anyone tell me is there any solution to this? i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911 this thread and it didnt help, when i press those 3 buttons, only thing came out was the sign of battery charging and that was it, nothing happened.

You must have the bttery out then slide the usb in then do the 3 button combo with the download screen as the first screen to odin it

Make sure you have all the files in the right place in odin and correctly named, you shouldn't be having this many issues

Help please.

I am in a state of fear, fear that if i turn off my phone and turn it back on it wil go straight into emergency mode.
Its very wierd,my pc running on windows 7 doesnt recognise my phone(all drivers are intact and installed) in both emergency mode and booted mode and even when the phone is off and i plug in usb,the yellow screen of emergency just pops up. Also i cant boot my phone cause one touch at the power button and yellow screen pops up. The good news though is,after countless attempt at taking out battery then inserting it again and trying to power on,the phone wil boot normaly again. And one more wierd thing is, if wen inserting the usb,the emergency screen doesnt pop up(happens rarely) but lg logo does,then my laptop recognises my phone,and in this way i change my rom from OpenOptimus 2.2.01 to stock v2.3 using kdz updater. Right now its booted and runing normaly except for usb mass storage mode and usb tethering(cuz my laptop doesnt recognize my phone)
I know smethng is wrng with my phone bt i dnt knw wat. Pls help me!

Calm down man.
Let's try and go through the options.
Was it always like this with the yellow screen? WHat did you do to get it there?
Try a reset in settings manually. This will bring it back to brand new state.
Hopefully we will be able to resolve this.
Hit Thanks if you found this useful.

First thing if something is wrong is a factory reset.
second, be precise on what you did that soft-bricked your phone...

Thanx in advance for trying to help.
Wel i am nt realy sure how and wen the problem started.
As far as i remembered my phone had the folowing.
1. Cmw recovry(from rom manager)
2. Link2sd wit 500 mb ext2 partition in sd card.
3. Open optimus rom 2.2.02
4. Set cpu to enhance gaming.
And as far as i remember, the problem started wen i tried to boot into cmw recovery.
Pls help.

Try this,
Switch off the phone then,turn on the phone pressing and holding Power + Home + Down volume key at the same time (for five seconds), the phone will turn on and perform factory reset immediately.
Hit thanks if you found this useful.

I already did factory reset but the problem persists. Any other way please.

I forgot to mention i even flashed stock rom v10d,v20c and v20g several times hoping that wil fix it,but the problem persists. Pls help somebody.

Maybe, it is a hardware issue. The phone being physically broken? Because if the prob persists even after a reset and a flash, well I am a bit unsure.

Could it be the bootloader?and if so, is there a way to fix it back to factory setting? Cuz i dnt think it wil boot at all if its hardware problem.

Hey,
Anyway, it could be a small hardware issue like disconnected wire or broken circuit or somthing.
You could try and re-lock the bootloader.

definitely hardware failure coz my ancient z71 acting almost juz like that before

update
after looping in emergency mode for few days,and me trying to revive it my phone is now dead.
i cant do anything with it except take it to service centre.:crying:

Urgent help - N8010 stuck in reboot loop

Hi GUys,
flashed my note using the CWM method successfully (well..) and after it randomly reboots at different stages, sometime at samsung logo, somtimes ater its fully loaded and running, sometimes on the galaxy note load up screen.
\ive tried wiping, reset, caches, re-rooting
also tried downloading stock and installing with odin, it removes root and same thing.
tried kies, but it says no updates available, on current firmware
it never reboots when in download mode, but dos sometimes when in recovery modes if that helps?
someone please help!!

Maybe its a hardware issue... if you've tweaked around with the software and symptoms don't seem to change, then you might wanna think about sending it in for repair or replacement.

yeh i was thinking that, just hoping it wouldnt be the case
just flashing a custom rom now to see if maybe the stock i installed was corrupt
anywhere i can get previous stock roms from?

ok finally flashed stock 4.0.4 with odin and it seems stable.
Although one problem now -
There is no lockscreen and no boot options while pressing and holding the power button with addition to this while holding power button it directly switches off it slef without any prompt.
i found a thread for a 7000 with a fix but im not rooted and a bit scared to do it again so the command doesnt work in teminal

Any help please guys?

Seems like your device is in factory mode.
That often happens when your EFS partition screwd up.
Check your Imei number.

returned it for another one - turned out the power btto was faulty, hence the rebooting.

I was going to start a New Topic but a search brought me to this post.....
Okay, I have an N8010 Wifi only model.
Where exactly does it list the IMEI number of the N8010?
Next, as the Wifi only N8010 does not have a Phone App how do you insert the *# Codes as in *#272 IMEI NUMBER*

Any post talking about an IMEI for the wifi only version is wrong... IMEI's are only for devices that have a phone modem, essentially 3G model only...

And with that it's also impossible to carry out any Samsung *# Codes

GT-N8010 stuck in bootloop, can't flash
Hey guys,
Today I was playing world at arms, and all of a sudden my tablet shut down and restarted.
Since then it is in a reboot loop, and doesn't respond to anything.
I run the latest official 4.4.2, which I rooted using the CF-Root method. It worked just fine for over a week, until this morning.
I tried to reflash the stock firware (from sammobile) without any luck. I tried to reflash the CF-Root without any luck.
It fails every time. I tried several versions of Odin (1.85, 3.07, and 3.09), but all of them failed.
I tried to reboot in recovery, but it doesn't work, the android robot appears, but then it restarts in the bootloop.
It goes up to the Samsung logo, before crasking again.
Sometimes I hear the music of World at arms playing before it crashes.
It seems real stuck, and I cannot think of anything else to do...
At the moment, I leave it in the loop until the battery dies off... And then I'll try charging it a bit and restart...
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
J

[Q] Did I just brick my phone?

So I'm completely new at this stuff and I followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470716). I got to the point where I had a custom ROM (Valhalla Black Edition) and it was working,but I decided I didn't like Valhalla Black Edition and I wanted to go back. So I went to CWM and selected backup and restore, selected my backup that I backed up earlier. It all seemed to work but now my phone is stuck at the boot screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry if I come across as a noob, it's because I actually am a noob.

Ur pretty screwed this point

Responded to your post in the other thread. Earlier versions of CWM had issues restoring on different versions of CWM than the back up was made from.

Hi. In the recovery menu try a full wipe before restoring the rom: wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache.

What where you flashing with odin? First thing I would check is to make sure your battery has charge. These phones are really hard to brick but it can happen.

When you insert battery, does the computer see the phone? Sometimes, even with the black screen, you are still in dl mode.

The stock rom, i was trying to flash the 2e recovery, but it was bad because after the recovery the phone was saying it was another galaxy s model, i can't remember t9000 whatever... after that, the screen was buggy ( various colors in the screen), and finally decided to go back to stock, the process was almost complete but before it finish says failed! so i disconnect the phone and restart it, and it did not turn on.
Thanks for the reply, i will try to recharge the battery and see if the pc recognizes.

Wish you luck. Sounds like wrong firmware. If you have the sgs4g, use the link from first post and try the one click.

Bricked - Tab 2 P3100

when i was flashing latest Tiwan Rom, it fails via odin. After it fails it's not going to download mod, recovery mod, no boot screen, it only shows that mark - A PC & a Mobile Phone & a CAUTION mark. like http://www.careace.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/bricked-galaxy-s.png
ITs hard bricked or softbricked, may its hard. HELP

It's not hard bricked. Get to the screen showing PC and mobile device with the working sign.
Load rom to be flashed with Odin connect the tab to the PC on diffrent USB port (or same, experiment with the ports) till Odin detects it (it should be detected easely)
The start the flashing process.
This happend to me in the past and i was able to fix it this way. Best of luck.

your probably gonna get it back to stock in Odin...
happened to me when flashing sungsonic (forgot the 2nd davlik wipe)
if you cant get to odin mode (happened to me too) because when you shut off the machine it just starts
your gonna have to plug it into the charger...
hold the power button to turn it off,
wait for the batter indicator to come on...
wait 10 sec...
hold the power button to turn it off again
as soon as it shuts down hold the volume down and power button...
this should kick it into odin mode...

samsung service man says, 6750 RS. hardware change must.......

want to from big devs like @codeworkx, @pg101 can u help me??
