I believe my phone is Hard-Bricked.
It is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime sm-G530a.
Its AT&T.
It was running 5.1.1 Lollipop.
Basically I opened developer options , Ticked OEM Unlock, An enabled USB Debugging.
Then I used KingRoot APK to Root Phone.
Everything was successful I used RootChecker from Playstore to check root. It was Rooted.
Then I Installed TWRP Manager from Play Store, and here's where I messed up.
It asked me to locate my device, An I accidentally installed Galaxy Grand Prime Duo Recovery.
So the phone restarted an all I get is Blank Screen and it Vibrates every 1-3 Seconds.
The computer wont recognize it and I have no clue what to do.
So please anyone on here with more smarts then me please lend a Helping hand.
I don't mind donating after problem is resolved cuz its a cheaper option than buying all new device,
P.S.
There are three stages to bricked correct,
1. Bricked wont Do Anythin!
2. Hard Bricked Messed up System Partition, Blah Blah!
3. Soft Bricked simply Install new OS or what have you!

Sorry for my bad english
I got a Samsung GIO S-5660.
I installed Rom Manager and i installed the clockworkmod recovery.
But now the phone wont boot, dont start in recovery mode and not in download mode.
can somebody help me.
if i use a jig cable, will it work?
dude i have the same prob hope i get it solved i only have it for 3 weeks
Was there a choice for the Samsung Gio in ROM Manager ?
You have to make sure ROM Manager supports your phone before using it .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
I had the exact same thing. My phone is now at the store, or it might even have been sent to a Samsung center already. Don't know as of now.
At any rate, the piece of **** that Clockworkmod is does not list any Samsung devices which must have served as a primary warning not to go through with it.
Nevertheless, I still did it. Phone turned off. Won't boot. Buttons won't work.
same here bricked samsung gio with clockworkmod
I just bricked my samsung Galaxy gio with the clockworkmod in the Rom Manager app.
I tried to flash clockworkmode to create a rom backup and then selected a random model from the list (there are only like 4 models there anyway!) No questions asked, no warnings , phone went stright to brick.
This app should produce some sort or error message or at least a warning if its not compatible with a model. As of now it works like brick your phone first, aske the questions later.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot
I have a Galaxy Y Duos GT-S6102 that I believe is Soft Bricked. My son attempted to install a different rom to the phone, he thinks he selected the incorrect rom then installed. I am now trying to get the thing operational again.
I have installed a stock rom, plus several setup's but when you reboot it gets to Galaxy screen then goes no further, will not shut down unless the battery is removed. I have used Odin to flash the phone, it connects installs, I get a PASS from Odin, then phone screen shows that it has failed. I've red through lots of threads, over the last week & I now need help. It just appears that something is missing or incorrectly installed.
If this is the incorrect place to get help with this phone, can someone suggest where I can help?

Hello , I'm in need of new file in motochopper downloader ( with new file for the Samsung Galaxy S4 i9192 ) as i've kinda soft bricked the phone.
WHAT I DID... I downloaded into my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini I9192 the file for what i thought was ok the motochopper for samsung galaxy S4 and it has somehow locked it with i believe Titanium backup somehow. what it does is reverts it back to when it got jammed up or put the wrong motochopper file into phone = whenever it reboots it always goes back to what people i called that day apps on phone settings... ect , no matter what i do i cant get back to factory reset. I've tried the Kies option and odin with new files it won't take to the phone because i believe the USB debugging won't allow for other methods.
With motochopper the phone is left on and the download can accept files and i can have the USB debugging checked.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated..... The phone still works but does bootload couple times a day on its own. phone still works but can never save anything new cause it constantly goes back to settings when it was corrupted. Thanks again.
I've tried numerous methods to get back to Factory default.... I'm out of options and thoughts. Thank you.
bought this second hand verizon galaxy s3 4.4.2, rooted it with towelroot, and flashed twrp using twrp manager and when i tried to boot into recovery, i had a warning sign that software has been tampered with and i should contact verizon for help, i tried to recover using a stock rom with odin but it fails each time, i did some researcch for many hour without success.
sometimes the screen tells me to use software repair assistant, i was able to download it but it never detected the phone, just sits there while phone is connected, btw drivers have been successfuly installed.
i tried kies, didn't work either.
i know now that it had to do with locked bootloader, but this is my first verizon phone.
please any help will be appreciated!

I apologize in advance for this post being so long im just trying to give as much details as possible.
I don't know what else to do!
Phone Details:
Samsung Galaxy Avant (SM-G386T1), from MetroPCS.
Android 4.4.2 KitKat,
No kind of custom rom or custom recovery
Other than the binary problem and wifi problems im having now, everything else is normal
The phone has been factory reset in the boot recovery menu, and in the settings menu and it hasn't changed anything for the better.
I got a Samsung Galaxy Avant (SM-G386T1) from MetroPCS, I rooted it with kingroot, also replaced Kinguser with SuperSU without any problems. All was good until i let my little brother play on my phone, i had busybox pro on my phone, i had forgot to delete it, my little brother came to me saying my phone shut off. Well he had opened and installed the busybox binary and i lost all root permissions and my phone was crippled. My immediate reaction was to boot it in recovery and try to run my backup i had made from titanium backup, i couldn't do anything without root permissions. So from the recovery menu i factory reset the phone thinking it would help, it didn't. Now I'm unable to root the phone entirely on every 'phone rooting service' it says my phone isn't supported. Also I can't connect to wifi correctly it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address", i can however connect changing the "dchp" wifi setting to "static", but it wont fully connect. It just says "unable to obtain a reliable connection". I can't sign into google or anything. Any help at all or even just an answer would help I'm not entirely phone illiterate.
Well
