After trying hard to unbrick from the info in the various threads of xda, i am posting in a new thread with hope to find a solution;
semiology of events which lead to the complete unrevokable brick are- while downloading a heavy game of around 1Gb on my s2 skyrocket with MIUI Custum Rom, with less than 1 Gb space left (which i released later) it went switched off suddenly and then when tried to switch on got struck in Boot logo of MI. on trying to reboot into recovery it booted well first but did not allow to install ROM by saying 'can't mount E/ ' ...then i found the solution as a problem with recovery and reinstalling it would solve but i left the phone unattended for 2 days for some other important works then only to find the phone in a completely bricked state unable to even on and does not boot into recovery or download mode this time, even i checked the battery is fully charged ...even tried the USB Jig but didnt work.
please help me unbrick my phone!!!!!!!
Does the phone turn on at all?
It doesn't turn on at all
Have you tried pulling the battery out for 15 sec then replacing with power cable connected attempting to turn it on?
Its a long shot but you might have damaged the emmc

Hi guys, I really hope someone can help me.
I accidentally deleted the boot partition on my vodafone smart 2.
I was trying to install the original recovery that came with the phone before the OTA update2 using a tool from roeddie BUT, I forgot to put all the images in the same folder as the tool and the tool ended up deleting the boot partition without having a boot image to flash, and now I have a phone that is stuck in the white screen with the green android in the middle =(
btw, if I "reboot" if and quickly plug the usb cable in I get and unkown device in the device manager with this ID VID_0A5C&PID_2132&REV_0204
:crying::crying::crying:
With the program that you flashed it with can't you just download all the required sectors (boot, recovery, Rom) and just reflash?

No, the computer does not recognize the phone anymore =(
To my knowledge every Android phone has like a "apx or apb mode" or something of that nature(don't quote me on that lol) didn't you have to go on some sort of mode to use the application?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Yes, I had to power the phone holding volume down + power, but that won't work anymore =/
Ok now i had this happen to me with the Asus transformer tf 101 i flashed only the Rom and the tablet wouldn't even return on but it did go to apx mode, where the screen would show nothing, basically off, but with the right drivers my computer was able to recognize it and I flashed the boot.img, recovery.img, and Rom hopefully you should be able to do the same thing.

But the computer does not recognize the phone when I plug it, usually it shows something in the device manager, but now it shows nothing at all, except for when I quickly plug the usb cable right after it powers up, but apparently that hardware id is from some broadcom wireless something.
I don't know i never has experience with that phone , did you try to boot into recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T999
It was the first thing I tried, but I guess before it goes into recovery it needs the boot partition, which is gone.
I found this thread

Already tried this, does not work with this phone =(
But thanks for the effort.
I guess I'll have to go to the vodafone store in which I bought the phone and try to send it to repair.
Sorry man good luck

Just got home with my phone =)
Took the phone to a vodafone store at lunch, around 4pm got a text saying I could go and get my phone, I guess they have some mojo, voodoo or black magic to bring the dead back to life.
I think you probably messed up a step with the tutorial but at least you got the phone fixed how much did it cost you?

Nothing, it's still under warranty
Nice man congrats and if you try again make sure you have a recovery img available lol

having The same problem!
i'm also having the same problem with my xperia c3
it is bricked due to custom recoery and my boot partition has somehow deleted now i'm unable to boot up my phone any possible waysssssssss?:good:
I searched for three days before posting this, hoping for an easy answer. I tried to flash the GOV33 Lean Performance ROM last week and ran into a few problems. I followed the instructions and wiped the phone back to factory, clearing everything several times. I then tried to flash the rom as directed, but it acted like there was no phone present, so due to a lack of free time I gave it up as a bad job and started using the sidekick normally with the fresh wipe. No problems until yesterday. For some reason, for the entire day, the phone would not connect to the Tmobile network. So, when I got home I held down the power button to reboot it, and when it rebooted, it showed the downloading screen with the yellow triangle and the android with the shovel. Since then it has done and shown nothing else. I can't get my computer to recognize it to Odin it back to factory, and no button combination does anything. I am totally stuck and am inches from calling this phone bricked and letting my son shoot it.
Well I'm somewhat of a noob when it comes to Samsung phones, even with all the crazy **** I've done to this one occasionally I'm at a loss. Is it possible you have a sticky button somewhere? Like forcing download mode even after a battery pull? Also do you for sure have the proper drivers installed or rules(for Linux) to use download mode? Have you tried hiemdall? Have you tried a different USB cable or different computer?

This may be due to faulty odin . I'm not a wizard hell I look to ric an this wizard above me for help ahah xD
Ill ask a few questions first
Can the plug be falty an not reading the phone?
Are any of the buttons "sticky" in the term when you press is down it doesn't give the nice load click but kinda slowly pushes it?
Did you try this way for odin vvvvvvv? (Its my personal way I odin as it doesn't read most times on my old pc)
But yea my phone doesn't get reconized for awhile when trying t odin what I do is go into download try to odin if it doesn't work I pull the baatter an put it back in which will lead to odin with a different image then from there you want to try to odin with bootloarders on/or off if it fails turn it to the opposite (so if you turned it on an failed turn it off)

Well, after trying multiple things, none of which worked, I finally found success with the Heimdall one click total wipe. she lives again.
Hi, I am new at this forum and i would like to ask you the following question.
recently i bought a samsung galaxy ace 2 phone and today i decided to try a custom ROM with, being a Linux geek for years...
So i chose Kyrillos Rom for my phone and after several failures i got to understand that before i try to load the custom ROM i had to upgrade my firmware and kernel as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679
So i used Odin tool , and tried to flash the new firmware as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118119,before proceeding to kernel flash.
Everything went smooth , Odin showed 'pass' indication and my phone after the procedure tried to reboot...and never woke up...
From then i cannot boot my phone at all, i mean neither in usual mode by pressing the power button nor in recovery or download mode. It does not respond to any of those, the screen and the buttons are completely black no matter how many seconds i press them
When i started the procedure my battery level was at 70% and just to be sure i connected it to USB port so as not to empty the battery during the procedure..Now that i connected it to its' charger it does not show the charging indicator
Any ideas as to what happened and how i can fix my problem?
Thank you in advance and keep up the good job!!!

It seems that i followed the exact directions in the posts mentioned, but my phone is I8160P and not I8160 something that i had not noticed up until tonight,so i think that it has something to do with this, even though i cannot understand how my motherboard died because of the firmware upgrade even thw firmware is made for another model...

it does have everything to do with that but it seems more like a hardbrick to me so does the phone charge or have u tried a lot of times to boot it or maybe pull the battery out for 5 min then put it back in and try to go to recovery or download if none of these stuff work then i think its dead

Yes i tried both normal boot pressing the power button and recovery - download modes and it did not power on in any of those cases. Also i tried pulling out the battery for 5 - 10 minutes and it did not power on afterwards either.Is this something that happens often because it seems really strange to me. If it has nothing to do with the firmware upgrade and it is a hardware issue then ok, i can sent it to repair it but if i have already lost the warranty due to root and firmware - custom recovery etc.. then what exactly do i have to do..

i don't think they will know since the phone won't boot up at all they know by going to download so give it a try and take it to a service and if ur in europe rooting does not affect ur warranty hope this helps
Hello all,
I have been looking through threads for days now but unable to solve my issue. I have been flashing roms, mods and such for several months now with no issue. However about 3 days ago i was opening my dsp manager to tweak my audio settings when my phone just rebooted and now it is stuck in a loop. I was running paranoidkang 2.3.2 with a lean kernel with no issue. I have not undervolted or overclocked in this setup. I am running cwm 6.0.3 however my issue is that my s3 reboots at different points. I have tried download and recovery modes. Sometimes i can get it to open the recovery but as soon as i see the menu it reboots, same with download mode. Once i got odin to recognize it before it reboot but cannot do anything as by the time odin connects, my phone reboots.i can sometimes get to the boot animation but sometimes i dont even get to the splash screen.i had recently flashed awesome beats v5 but that was several hours before the looping began. I have read about usb jigs but i have been unable to locate exactly what that is or how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated... is this considered a hard brick? I have back ups of everything, just cant use them. ADB is also out as it cannot connect to my device as it constantly powers off...
Thanks and sorry for my newbness....

That is strange, I think a jig would work. It's basically a modified micro usb plug that triggers your phone to enter download mode while it's plugged in. You can make one or buy one.
This is not a hard brick, sometimes things like this just happen. You may have installed a mod that just can't run properly on your current setup and it's just causing a bootloop. If for some reason you get a jig and it won't work, it could be a malfunction with your power button making your phone reboot in recovery or download mode.

I've been starting to hear about bad power buttons powering off the device, maybe this could be your problem.

Turns out you were right. Power button issues. I finally got into CWM and it just kept entering into different fields. So i had to warranty it out after the use of a large magnet and a bucket of water ... oopps water damaged. I did buy a Jig from Ebay though just in case.

STORY
I installed a stock ROM for my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P-6800) and it was stuck at the flashing SAMSUNG logo (the one with the tune) and so I just left it there and went to sleep. The next day I tried turning on the tablet but it didn't work so I booted into Download Mode and did a NAND erase. I was planning to install a stock ROM from SAMMOBILE but now I can't boot into Download Mode. When I try to, it goes into the warning screen and after a second or so, it becomes black. I figured it could have been out of battery or a button is broken. I have tried charging the tablet with wall charger (2.1A) but it doesn't seem to work. I could occasionally get it successfully into Download Mode but it will turn off itself for no reason.
PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CANNOT BOOT INTO ANYTHING NOT EVEN DOWNLOAD MODE SO PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME GUIDES ON HOW TO FLASH.
I'M ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A GUIDE ON HOW TO ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE WITHOUT USING PHYSICAL BUTTONS.
THERE IS NO ROM INSTALLED SO DON'T TELL ME TO GO THE TERMINAL OR ANYTHING. IT IS ABSOLUTELY EMPTY ONLY HARDWARE AND DOWNLOAD MODE IS INSIDE THE TABLET.
Anyways, please help. I am trying to get daniel_hk's cyanogen mod on this for my friend and I don't think he would expect me giving a bricked tablet to him.
Dead battery maybe?
Do you guys think I joined the dead battery club?
HELP
HELP please I need it working by Monday.
WORKING
Nevermind it is working now.
