Hello xda people! A friend of mine got a Galaxy Next and after only two days he managed to hard brick it.
After trying to flash CWM with ROM Manager, he tried to reboot but the phone did not even turn on the screen.
I tried to recover it with all the methods i found but it doesn't go to download mode with the VOL.down+HOME+PWR.
the only thing i found is that it goes into a sort of recovery mode pressing VOL.up+HOME+POWER. Odin detects something but it's useless without download mode.
i also read about forcing it into download mode with a homemade Jig, but haven't tried.
Can anybody help me?

Hey! Did you find any solution???
i'm afraid, but no, I haven't find any solutions, other than JTAG, which i can't use because I would have to solder wires on the phone and I haven't got the necessary tools...

As i suppose BOOTLOADER is UNLOCKED according to 1. post.
HTC Sync completely UNINSTALLED?
Do you have enabled USB-Debugging?
Latest drivers --> HTC driver
And latest ADB/Fastboot --> http://d-h.st/KIP
Now you just have to be back and we'll root your device pretty quick
ok i the adb installed but when i run the driver install it doesnt run. but i think that they are up to date since i just installed the htc sync manager.

You run windoes 7, restarted computer after uninstall? And can you enter bootloader? (Vol - and Power) after some seconds release power and keep vol- pressed, if not --> release battery for soem minututes and then try again
i have entered bootloader threw the phone for the first time ^^.
ok so im trying to do the "fastboot flash recovery twrprecovery.img" command but it wont send the file...
ok so now that i did got it to work. there is one thing that is still acting odd. its Supersu it wont update. but the otehr superuser works
just install "SuperSU" from playstore
i did that 3 times now weith the same result. well i wont update and then pone time it crashed the phoine
ok everything but the supersu is working. i have no clue why sometimes it says there is no su binary and other times it says failed to update. iv uninstalled it and re-installed it a few times. is it absolutely needed?

Thanks for your reply but I don't think that works, cause the link you have me is how to root device.
It still restores the image, you can choose to root or not

Any luck fixing it ?
Kdz flashtool could solve the problem or using an usb.... U could leave the phone until the battery goes off and then recharge a little bit and try download mode again... the first method should work ... press the buttons correctly and connect the usb... working in 95%
same problem
tried the mentioned comments but still nothing for me.
PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you fix the problem OP

could you please explain what you did?
my lgg2 d801 simply boots into the LG logo screen and stays there til it dies.
I do not know too many technicalities when it comes to adb or ubuntu, in fact i dont even know if those programs go on the phone or the computer through usb..
simple clarifications would make the world of difference to me as my phone is useless now.
I can enter download mode using your "let phone die then try again method" but i dont know what to do from there..
Please help me restore my phone to the 4.4.2 kitkat i had previously
thannks in advance
d801 problems
I have a D801 that was rooted on 4.4.2, and I stupidly took the OTA update. I can still use my phone to make calls, but nothing associated with google works. The phone will not boot into download mode, there is no recovery and no fast boot. I have tried everything. It will no reroot or anything . Is there anything that I can do.

Did you see where the directions say put the device in download mode. My device will not enter download mode.

I can confirm that that method worked for my G2. Make sure you press and hold volume up then plug the phone in. Hold volume up till you see the small box saying its in download mode.
The nice thing about this method it doesn't wipe your data.
Make sure you have downloaded the most current drivers first though before you plug in your phone. Then go to options and update recovery.

It worked for you because your partitions were not messed up. I know the procedure for getting into download mode, I tell you that it no longer works. Volume up while plugging usb in now gets me a battery charging icon . When you have a rooted phone running 4.4.2 and apply OTA update, it screws the partitions up. I can still send and receive calls, just can't sign into google or use playstore .

In the other post I found this

I had a similar problem with my T-Mobile LG G2 where I was rooted and accepted an OTA. It broke root and I couldn't get IOroot or Stumproot to work. Went to flash a downgrade and found the phone wouldn't go into download mode. It was NOT bricked. I finally tried playing around with the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe). Of course it detected that my phone already had the latest firmware from T-Mobile, but then I clicked Options>Upgrade Recovery.
It downloaded for a while then I noticed it had put my phone into download mode (it said "Rooted" in red letters at the bottom). Then it flashed the same firmware over and I immediately tested, it entered download mode right away. But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.

Seems like its possible to get into download mode. I don't know, maybe yours is just different.

mine is not different, just corrupted. Even took it to a craigslist repairman. He said that he did not have the expertise to repair it. It can't be put in recovery, download or fastboot mode. It also can't be rerooted.
ill ready repaired one equal but need it "octoplus box sw" for it
I just bought a LG G2 I rooted it with towelroot. Then i used autorec to install a recovery. I installed the wrong version of autorec & then i got the constant fastboot log. After that i read a fix for that via fastboot flash and not knowing my computer wouldn't flash the aboot.img i removed aboot.img and it would not flash it. So now my LG G2 just has a black screen. However when I plug it in a whole bunch of flash drives pop up continuously, and everytime that they blink on and off my screen semi lights up black so it flashes between that and completely black. I have tried to use linux because i read a tut to fix a similar problem that way. However I cannot seem to get anything to work for my phone. If anyone can help please let me know! the back of my phone says it is version D800 however when i rooted my phone with towelroot i tried using freegee to bypass the bootloader and it said it wasn't compatible with version D802u......Update! However i did manage to use linux to get it back into fastboot mode i cant seem to get anything to work in fastboot ive tried flashing the laf.img and it wont flash it just comes up with a error. I can say fastboot reboot and it will reboot
Update phone is fixed and working just fine. Apparently I did everything wrong but something was wrong with the cm11 snapshot I flashed. Just rerooted my phone and installed cm11 flawlessly! I would like to thank Windows 8 & Linux along with all the forums on xda that helped me fix my phone without them it wouldn't have been possible!

Do you mind posting what you did that was able to work? I have to wait to find someone that will let me use a windows computer to run the flash tool I guess as I cant run it on Mac OS X
Stuck on the TWRP screen, and flashing zips doesn't work, every reboot brings it to the TWRP screen and I cant seem to find system.img or boot.img in the file directory from that screen so I am thinking it ALL got wiped
Thanks for any help
Just a little FYI, you named the thread hard bricked, however you were only soft bricked. Hard Brick is a dead phone... No power, no lights, or any response.
