okay so i think i bricked my phone. its very strange like my usb got turned off but i have only installed infuse 4g roms so i have no clue how that could happen
anyways it will boot to the samsung logo and nothing else. even with a jig i made and tested on my friends nexus s (and every button combo for download/recovery)
any ideas? before i tried to reflash i was getting some weird problems like my phone would charge in sperts as if i was continuously pluging and unplugging the device. and i couldnt use the usb to transfer files

i have read countless but thanks for your input. i have not seen anything helpful. the only things close were known 100 percent to be a bad usb and not for this model phone. but regardless i believe i will be getting a new one in the mail shortly but i believe someone should maybe make a tutorial on replacing the micro usb inside the phone. although no way of knowing if that was the problem or not. hopefully they wont be billing me after they realize my phone was rooted with miui
Hey guys. I'd really appreciate your help. So this is how the story goes. Im pretty well versed in flashing ROMS. I flashed the CM10 Rom, don't remember the exact name, but it's the one where u can download a bunch of themes. Anyway the wifi kept coming on and off so I decided to try another ROM. I went into recovery mode and flashed the MIUI vs OTTER ROM, I think thats the name, I'm pretty sure . Just as the flashing finishes the phone turns off and BAM!! The problems start so basically phone wont come on now. I don't get the vibration before it starts, so I figured Id root back to stock and start all over...(Odin..PIT etc.) So this is what happens. The computer makes the noise that indicates something's been plugged in and then immediately it makes the same noise as if somethings been unplugged (phone is still plugged in though) Screen is completely blank still and a message comes up (ON PC) to install new software on ( the phone). The software or Device that registers as the phone in device manager is Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM. Any help would be appreciated. And yes I did the whole wipe factory/dalvik etc. right before flashing the MIUI ROM. The computer says I need to flash drive F to be able to use it (which I figure is the phone, and flashing would erase everything right?) but as I try to do that it denies me permission because th phone is apparently coming in and out, or on and off.
Have you tried a jig? Do a quick Google search "Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G Jig" . It'll get you into download mode and allow you to flash through Odin back to stock, I believe.

I've tried everything including:
Taking battery out for extended periods.
Trying to hold volume up button and power/vice versa with both and volume down, whilst running odin to see if Added" pops up on odin so that I can root to stock and start over."
Every time i plug the phone into PC you hear the plug and unplu sounds as if the phone is continuesly turning off and on but nothing on the screen. Im not even getting the vibration.
I had a similar issue on my phone recently. It was incredibly frustrating so I just left it on the charger. When I came back 30 minutes later, it was on and charging.

I have almost the EXACT same problem. BUT, I do have a jig that I know that works...and it doesn't bring me to Download Mode. :crying:
No button combos work...download or recovery, I don't even know if it is charging...had it on the charger for about 30 mins so far.
(It says exactly:
You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it.
Do you want to format it?
<Format disk> <Cancel>
I of course press cancel
With a battery or without a battery, when I connect to the computer it installs the drivers as stated above but it continues to ask if I want to format it. If I leave it plugged up, the popup continues almost endlessly. I've not yet press FORMAT, as I would think that could make it worse than it is.
Has anyone seen this type of problem?
*EDIT: I'm sending it out on Monday to get it JTAGed, too expense and complex to even think about trying to get a box and attempting the fix myself.
I was basically told that the Boot portion (whatever it's exactly called) needs to be re-written and then probably just flash stock firmware on it.
Just wanted to leave this here to help others search and find this info...just in case they attempt to try to do more than they should and really mess their phone up even more.
Earlier, i was just playing around on my phone then all of a sudden the phone froze. I then rebooted it and it seemed to fix it for a couple of minutes, but then it decided to freeze again. (this then continued to happen a couple more times, then finally it just stopped.)
My phone now wont turn on,it wont connect to the computer, i cant access bootloader and now i do not know what i can do.
Does anyone know what i can do to fix it? I have a nandroid back up but i cant even access boot loader / recovery so i can flash it.
Thanks.

Did the phone heat up when it froze? If yes, then leave it there. Maybe for a couple of hours.
Last time such thing happened to my device was when I OC-ed too much, then it froze and died just like yours.
Pulled out battery, walked for half an hour, put it back in, worked! (it happened a few times to know its because of CPU clock)

My phone wont even turn on anymore. I literally did nothing that would have cause the device to brick.
It is starting to look like hardware failure, even though it did work for a while.
Not that this will automatically resurrect your phone, but try leaving the phone and battery in your refrigerator overnight and try again the next morning. It's worked for some people before and you've got nothing to lose.
Maybe some hardware parts are way too hot (CPU, GPU).
The sensation automatically turns off if some parts of the phone are too hot. The reason I think this is because you were playing games, and games can cause the phone to overheat. A Lot.

it wasn't really that hot when it finally turned off for good (I have felt it much hotter than that.)
And the phone has been off for a fair few hours now and it still wont turn on.
(there is also no charging light when plugged in)
There's no charging light even when you plug it in the PC? What about adb? Does your PC recognize your device? Does it say something like QHSUSB_DLOSD?
If you answered no to all those questions, then you have a hard brick and may need to replace your motherboard...

I dont think i will be able to get it to work, as i have to do the wire trick to enable it.
Whereas, in this video he tells you to unplug / plug back in as you hit enter on the script, and as i have to do the wire trick, it makes this method un usable.

I assume you tried a different USB cable?
and checked the batt and ground pins.
I haven't used my charge for a long time. so I gave it to my 13 year old daughter (so I didn't have to buy her an IPhone like all her friends have lol).
I had it flashed with gummy charged 1.9 and it was ok, but some of the apps she wanted refused to work with it so I decided to flash it back to stock.
For some reason, I could not get odin to flash it (first time I've ever had it fail) even trying from 4 different computers so I got pissed and said F it.
At that point, I screwed up and just turned it off from DL mode (I was too lazy to pull the battery lol)
Now, all I get no matter how I try to boot it is a graphic showing a phone and a computer with a ? on the connection between them.
I must have flashed 500 phones and never had a problem and just got lazy.
It has CWM recovery in it, with a nandroid I made yesterday, but no matter what I try I can't get CWM to open now.
Is this thing screwed, or is there a way to save it??
I took the sim from it and activated a rezound I wasn't using and gave that to my daughter, so if I have to throw the charge in the garbage its not the end of the world but I would like to save it if possible.

you might have to flash CWM via ODIN again. it sounds like you might have wiped the system, hence the error picture you are getting.
but just to let you know, gummy charge is very old. dwith and jheide worked on a newer release, and it's available. and it works just fine.

hmmm.... i presume you have removed the battery for a good 10 minutes, replaced it, then let it charge for a good 30-60 minutes?
if not, do that - then try to enter download mode. have you tried entering download mode before connecting the cable?

Yea, I thought of that but I've wasted enough time on it at this point.
My daughter loves the rebound I gave he so she can keep that and this thing is going in the trash.
I don't really care, I got a ton of use out of it.
Well, I decided I had some spare time today & threw together a USB jig.
The jig immediately put the phone in DL mode, but now I can't get any of the PC's on my LAN to recognize the device.
Anybody got a way to force the PC's to recognize it??
Hey Guys,
I'd like to request some help regarding to my cellphone.
The cellphone is A 2 year old Htc sensation.
Did always do his job fine, never any problems, always had a spare battery so I could change battery's when the first one was dead.
The phone is Rooted, custom rom with ViperS 5.1.0. S-off.
So I was playing a game, and, a well known problem is that the sensation shuts down at whatever 5% sometimes, so that happened, the phone shut down.
I then put it on the charger, the light went on for a couple of seconds, and went out.
Since then I didn't see any sign of life on my sensation again.
I tried booting it with the spare battery, fully charged in a external charger.
I tried letting it charge overnight, maybe it would work again.
I tried putting it in to the bootloader.
I tried connecting to the pc, but that one doesn't recognize anything aswell.
Since it's +2 years old, I don't have any warranty anymore.
Does anybody know a solution or something? Or did anyone else experience this as well?
Or is the phone completely dead?
I'd like to hear from you guys!
- Cheers

Try doing the wire trick you do to s-off the phone, it helped me boot mine. Make sure you do it while it's connected via USB.

I removed the battery, connected USB, reinserted it, jammed the wire in there a couple of times until it came back to life. Took quite a few tries but that may be my shoddy wire rather then the method. No need for the juopunotbeer software to run.

That means it's probably in QHUSB mode. You can retry the wire trick a couple more times to see if it comes out, if it doesn't, there's a unbricking tool in the development forum here somewhere to get it out of there.

Hi!
It makes that windows sound when you connect a USB drive or something else, but it doesn't show up in the Device Manager from windows.
Will the brick thing still work, even if it doesn't show up in windows device manager?
I saw some movies on youtube where you saw: QHUSB_DOWNLOAD unknown device or something, but that doesn't show for me...
Hope to hear from you or someone else
Allright, we Continue.
I have it in QHSUSB_DLOAD now @ windows, after trying the wire trick a couple of times.
I tried it at linux aswell, but how am I able to recognize when it connects?
Windows makes a sound, but ubuntu??
How to hear some solutions from what to do now, and how to get it connected in ubuntu
