I bought galaxy fit just a week ago and rooted it 4 days ago. It worked fine after rooting.
Today, i was trying to install an update.zip with DSP manager and i got this message
"finding the package ....bla bla bla
installation started
installation aborted"
I thought i failed and selected to reboot the device. Now my phone is stuck at a screen with "SAMSUNG" written on it and vibrates every now and then.
** i see the boot animation
** I can enter the debug (or whatever) mode. Where we can update from an update.zip and reset
So my question is "AM i bricked??? How do i recover?

Boot in Recovery " Home + Power Key "
Select "Wipe Data" or something like that in recovery and then reboot.
Is it possible to recover without wiping the data? I don't want to loose my customizations and apps on phone

I don't think so....
There is no way around this....
OMG!!!! i doesn't work!!
wipe data/factory reset -
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting CACHE:...
unmount (/cache) attempt 1
(unknown error: 0) rc=0
Data wipe complete
wipe cache partition -
Formatting CACHE:...
unmount (/cache) attempt 1
(unknown error: 0) rc=0
Cache wipe complete
When rebooted, it again stuck on the screen with "SAMSUNG" written on it. Does that mean i killed my phone?
naa
Flash cwm through odin , do backup through it, then flash a new firmware..
Flash cwm again and restore everything other than system through advanced restore.
That's what I would have done.

Can you give CWM zip?? the only method i found is through ROM manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277759
I havent tried out the zip method(if there is any)..Download cwm from above link and use odin to flash it in download mode(power+center+down volume button)

Do not use ROM MANAGER. You will brick your phone for real
Its not totally bricked. anyway flash clockworkmod and then flash another rom but first make sure you made a backup of your ROM through the Clockwork Mod so you can revert back to that rom from before and then flash a new rom and it should boot up.
like what the above poster said ^
Not bricked
Same thing happened to me last week
i installed creed's rom v1.0 via odin.
Cleared user data and wiped cache .
And it rebooted perfectly.
No you haven't bricked your phone dude....the same thing happened to me and all what I did was I reflashed CWM and then installed CM 7.1...and my phone was back to normal....

Hi there,
Here is what I've done:
Started with stock ICS rom and USB Debugging ON
Unlocked the device via Fastboot and Motorola Unlocker Program unique code
Installed the latest CWM recoveryhttp://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager image via Fastboot (V 6.0.4.4)
Done Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Cache + Wipe Dalvik (it worked the first time)
Installed CM11 KitKat Nightly Update (It does work since I have another XT925 with it and it is perfect)
Installed Updated GAPPS zip file
Restarted
Here is when things started to fail:
My screen was stuck at the Bootloader Unlocker warning - and yes, I've left it there for a long time and nothing happened
So I've followed this thread to get out of the stuck logo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260105
Now I get into the boot animation but it is stuck at it for hours
I've tried to perform another data wiping on CWM as suggested by other threads and Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache works but Wipe Dalvik doesn't. CWM doesn't show any errors, doesn't freezes or anything, just doesn't show the same feedback lines from when I do the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
I've installed stable CM10 release but I still get stuck at CM10 boot animation.
The NOOB here would really apreciate some help since the phone belongs to my dad and he will be comming back to get it tomorrow :/
Thanks in advance guys!

There is a new wipe in philz more complete.
You may need to format data & data media.

You are THE MAN!
Thank you AVIWDOOWKS! Just thank you very much! It worked like a charm!
This is the first time that I have come to XDA to ask for help and I now have my phone up and ready less than half an hour from posting my question!
Have a nice weekend!

If it`s the same error via odin as well then you god the same corrupted partition like me... and you need to get to service to revive it with RIFF JTAG BOX ( rewrite the /data partition at low level)
install any other new Recovery

tried:
-wipe cache and data
-reinstalling all singles images files
-reinstalling with flash all bat and finally it works...
what's the problem???
and now? there is something to check? have to change the phone???
tnx
Manually flash each partition again, including userdata.img partition. After flashing the last partition, boot directly to recovery using the power and volume keys (don't reboot the phone at all after flashing the last partition), perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
Ok but i need ti know if is possible to check the health device status
What do you mean by health? You mean each component?
I mean if is possible that something hardware is defective or going to be defective.
can I run some tests?
I know of no tests that are available to the public.
Ok

I have a similar problem with my N5, it was originally a power-button issue, and after some "whacking" the phone no longer "repeatedly reset" but now it just sits on the "Google" boot screen forever. Probably something got messed up during all the unintended reboots. I already went into recovery and did a factory reset, no luck. Tried flashing to older ROMs, no luck. Started hitting up forums, saw this post, tried your suggestion (flash each partition manually, did a "fastboot reboot-bootloader", enter recovery, wipe, and reboot), and still no luck.
I can get into fastboot/recovery, and even tried loading custom ROMs (CM13 to be exact). No matter what I tried, the phone will power-up, and stuck at the "Google" screen. Note that I've always waited at least an hour after flashing each version before I reboot from the "Google" screen.
I've read somewhere there is a "persist(?)" partition which will throw some error if corrupted, but it will require USB debugging enabled to fix. Unfortunately, I can't boot into any ROM to enable USB debugging...
Am I SOL or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks,
Wallace

Are you getting any errors when performing a factory wipe? Does the factory wipe happen very quickly? You flashed the userdata.img partition too?

First time I did a wipe it took over an hour, then the phone rebooted to the dead android screen. So I tried to wipe again, and it seems like all subsequent wipe took anywhere between 3-5 minutes. No error on each wipe (can't say on the first one, since by the time I got back to the phone it has already rebooted). And yes, I did flashed everything - boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata, bootloader, radio - not exactly in that sequence, but all of those partitions are flashed with the image that comes with the Google download package. Then factory reset and reboot.
Thanks,
Wallace
Maybe try erasing cache and data using fastboot commands? If this doesn't work, it's possible that there is a hardware problem with the phone's internal memory.

Did a "fastboot format cache" and "fastboot format userdata", no error. Still won't boot... are those the commands you are referring to?
Yup, or fastboot erase cache or fastboot erase data.
Sounds like the emmc may be messed up.

Tried all those, and yes same result... also, I flashed a different recovery (TWRP) and thereafter I can't even flash new ROMs anymore. ADB Sideload error our (forgot to write down the error message), and if I copy the file to internal storage and flash from there, TWRP will get stuck for hours.
How common are eMMC corruptions?
W.
The emmc problem is not that common, but it does happen. I'm not sure if it is partition or software corruption or a physical defect.
Other xda members have encountered emmc problems too that could only be fixed through a motherboard swap.
I am running into a situation emmc. the problem is I tried below action so far
1. Attempted to flash recovery partition which failed immediately after first reboot . it never got flashed correctly
2. Attempted to format all the partitions but I could format boot partition I could format no other partition it clearly says that can't mount
3. Then I tried to boot using fastboot command into recovery partition my command is
Fastboot boot recovery.img
I tried cwm I tried TWRP . only 2.6 dot x x worked in twrp. Cwm was not so helpful because it does not give me many features likewise TWRP
Once I boot in the recovery it asks for password if I click cancel it shows me all the interfaces but nothing works I don't have any local storage available it clearly fails to read it and everything shows is encrypted I don't know not sure what is going on there
When I attempt to format I get a error message as no partition available for this operation. No file system available
About phone but I think I am still searching for options but so far I could see that this is e MMC issue and there is no partitions available on this memory I am not able to format this internal memory I am new to the Linux environment and not sure what to do to format this internal emmc...
Can someone suggest any options to format and Re partition the emmc?

The constant boot looping could be a power button problem?

Hi guys,
I accidentally bricked my phone today. It all started when I was trying to flash a custom ROM onto it. There was an issue with the mount /storage and I followed a Youtube tutorial to change the data (or storage? Couldn't recall) to a different file system. It was intially EXT4 and I flashed it to EXFAT. When I did that, it was stuck there loading for an hour and I decided to restart the recovery.
However, after that I couldn't boot into the recovery. It was stuck in the TWRP screen. Furthermore, the ROM was no longer accessible. I flashed stock ROM via Odin but all of them asked me for password to enter devices which I tried everything but nothing could enter. Please help! How do I reverse this damage?
What you need to do is: Install TWRP through Odin again, then go into the wipe menu and select advanced. Then select both Internal storage/sdcard,Data and dalvik cache. Then just wipe it all, YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR THINGS.
P.s this is not a hard-brick, simply the fact that Samsung has encrypted the data partition with an unsupported format. Also NEVER USE EXFAT FOR A DATA PARTITION, always use EXT4 (unless told otherwise by the rom developer).

I had the same problem when I flashed away from stock and didn't factory reset.
