Follow the instructions for downgrading from RC30/RC8 or higher. After your phone is reset, it will be on RC29 (or RC7 if you have UK phone) with all previous data wiped.
But i don't know latest RC in my G1.....
I plug my G1 to my comp but nothing happen....
it look like already totally dead.....
Would you mind telling us what you were doing on the phone before this happened? It might help us help you better.
All normal before happen.....
I get up for sleep and just off...
I try turn on.....but nothing...
My friend say the problem is software....need flashing....
It doesn't matter what the latest RC in your phone is. Just follow the instructions for downgrading from RC30/RC7 and your phone will be RC29 (they will actually work for any RC) and hopefully recovered.

It could be a hardware failure if you didn't make any software changes and the device died.
I actually had the same issue with my first G1, went to bed and everything was fine, when i woke up the phone was dead, would not turn on, only blue blinking led on top, tried another battery and nothing. wasn't even rooted. I ended up sending it back to tmo for a new one.
Yeah, if you're getting no response from anything it sounds like a hardware issue. Send it in for a replacement.
I'm Indonesian.....
How i can replacement????? That impossible......
Sorry i little upset......
Just share my problem....
Thanks for comment.....

Put your phone into download mode then reflash with the odin one click provided in the link below
Hope this helps

Thanks, I'm downloading it right now.
When the official update for Froyo comes out, I'll be able to download it since this is stock, right?

If you can get the phone booted yes.
Wow. Even though I did accidentally get on the "phone-!-computer" screen, after a while, my phone was all back to normal. I can't thank you enough!

Need help with phone!

Somehow my phone got bricked while being on Dlev rom for the longest time. I unbricked my phone with Odin but now there is completely no sound coming from my phone. In addition, whenever i try to flash any other rom after re rooting it and putting cwm on it, it goes into the samsung boot loop. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong?? Thanks
So you used GTG's Ultimate Unbrick to go back to complete froyo stock (UCKD5) and now you have no sound?
yes that is correct

Yeah.. that happened to the second infuse that I got in about 5 days... it stopped working. I called up Samsung and they told me to do a factory reset. (never rooted once, still was on froyo..) Then I turned it back on and lo and behold the speaker didn't work. Then I took it back to Best Buy and the lady confirmed it didn't work.. the same as I did.... But anyway, there's my experience. Probably a bad batch somewhere along the lines..
So all in all give Sammy a call and see what they will do for you... Hopefully be helpful. Maybe they will tell you to send it in so they can repair it. And the bootlooping.. keep trying gtg's ultimate unbrick. It sometimes needs different usb slots, cables or even the whole computer. It takes patience I found out one lucky day..

[Q] samsung admire sch-720 bootloop screwed?

Can you forward to me also?

Phone appears dead after failed flash.

So I was running CM10 Alpha 4.4 and phone was running pretty well for the 24 Hours I had it installed, but unfortunately I couldnt do any nandroid backups or restores. Would always reboot near the end. Well I was told that I could flash the boot.img file from the alpha 4.3 version and that should solve the issue until the newer version is fixed. Anyway, i installed Heimdall on my mac, started it as root. Created the pic, then went to flash the new boot.img. The first come times i got handshake failures, but then i restarted the phone into download mode again for the second time and it finally started to move forward. I then got the following response:
ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!
GANG upload failed!
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to send end session packet!

So it appeared that Heidmall had given up basically gave me the option to try again (aka, the start button was available again). The phone was still in download mode and appeared like it was still trying to do a download, so i left it be for about 10 minutes and still no change and heimdall wasnt doing anythign with it anymore. So i turned off the phone and tried to turn it back on to get it back into download mode again so i could try again. Unfortunately now the phone wont even turn on. I mean no responses at all that its getting an type of power or anything (aka, no lights). I took the battery out for 10 mins and then put it back in and still no luck. Its back on the charger, but I am worried that its dead. What sucks is that i just got this replacement phone in June after someone physically broke my old E4GT. =/
Any suggestions?

If you cant get into download mode with the key combo ( VOL- / POWER / HOME) then a Jig may be your only hope beside JTAG.
Since it sounds like its hard bricked, a JIG probably wouldnt work, right? I just dont want to waste time/money trying to get it fixed with that method if i should be going straight to a service provider that can do JTAG.
hi mate just an option
it sounds bricked if you hold down the volume up button the bottom button and the power button fallow the same steps in there to install a rom just dont use any zips just rebootyou can use CWM to do a recovery from a back up if not as a last resort reinstall the rom you are using what rom is it that you use im trying to find a good one but you could try to do the update again or use a pc try back up the files you would need then reinstall but hope i helpped please click the tanks button if you feel i helped.

Im not exactly sure if a jig will help you. There cheap to buy or make. I think its a long shot but who knows. How long have you had the phone and where did you buy it from? JTAG is $50 i believe. You could always try taking it to a verizon store.
Just got pointed out to me that I accidentally posted in the s3 forum when i have a e4gt. The local sprint store is replacing my phone though for only $35. Though their manager showed me her s3 and its pretty freakin sweet. With trade in and upgrade, I could get the s3 for about $140 after fees. Not sure if I am going to do it.
