Tmobile - Galaxy S7 SM-G930T
Firmware wouldn't update OTA and was stuck on 6.0.1. Wanted to update it to FW 8. Got odin and downloaded the appropiate files, Im not stranger to flashing other devices so I was being cautious.
The phone showed no progress as it was stuck in downloading... so I rebooted it. (I have done this before and it never went sour)
The phone shut down as it should and disconnected from the computer as it should.
Now the lame part is, I tried booting into recovery, download mode and just a plain old power on.
The phone will not do anything.
I connected it to the computer, no sign of life. Left it on the charger for 10 minutes, nothing.
Is this thing gone for good? It's my little sisters phone so I am kinda ****ting bricks right now.
USB Jig might save it https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707

Hello All,
I promise I've done 2 days of research before and while doing this.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S on ATT using ATT network. I tried to put Cognition on it 2.3b7 and something was wrong with the battery life, so I decided to start over and flash it again. In the meantime DG released 2.3b8.
I rooted it Mac (i'm on a mac), got superuser permission, did the whole clockwork thing. Then I decided to flash it using Odin3 1 click downloader back to ATT software. Well then I got phone...!...computer error. I couldn't do the 3 button combo to get it download mode. I made the 301k Jig, that worked and got me in to download mode. I used Odin3 again, got it back to ATT software but I think it was still custom.
The whole ODIN process was actually way more indepth because it wouldn't work, or the USB software wasn't installed correctly, my phone kept being a *****. But I got it to work eventually.
My phone would also say Samsung I9000 (it's a i897, idk if its the same) instead of just the ATT start up. I went through the rooting process a few times on the Mac and no super user app would show up. So I did it on a PC and it worked. Then I went through the standard process of installing Cognition. I backed it up using clockwork, then clicked install rom and selected the .zip file in the SD card.
It started working. Then after about 30 minutes, it just wouldn't turn on anymore. I've taken out the battery, it's fully charged and all that. It still just won't turn on. It's all black...
What happen, has it happen to anyone and how do I fix it?
It's seriously a paper wieght right now.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exact same thing happened to me - except I have a genuine i9000.
ROM Flasher - selected ROM - booted into clockworkmod, which started flashing the ROM, it proceeded for about 10 minutes, displayed lots of activity on the screen, then the screen went black... and has remained black ever since.
The phone won't turn on, won't go into download mode, won't go into reset mode. I have a jog on order, but I don't think that will do much. I thought that maybe the battery had drained (it didn't - tried it in a different phone).
The phone is just dead, and an equal paperweight.
Are there any options left, or do I just need to send it back to Samsung?
after 2-3 hours of googling, trying odin, vol. up and power, usb, kies, seems like a million other things, i cannot get my exhibit 4g passed the "exhibit 4g by t-mobile" screen. i've let it sit, hoping it would boot, removed the batter and let it sit, tried booting it into recovery. i've downloaded every program recommended by every android site and now i'm at my wits end.
before i go any further, i did download rom manager and tried to cwm for galaxy s since that what rom manager detected my phone as. stupid, i know, but i'm pretty sure i told it to backup just in case i ran into a situation like this.
when i plug the phone into my laptop via usb, it's stuck on the little circle "thinking" image. my laptop dings like it knows something is plugged in but then it says "usb device not recognized" but i've downloaded and installed the driver from samsungs website.
i think this thing is bricked but i've read several articles saying a bricked phone wont turn on at all. my phone is rooted but other than that it's all stock.
any suggestions?
I'm a new member so please dont take it out on me for posting in the general discussion board. I was trying to upgrade my Gingerbread firmware into the new ICS firmware. I downloaded Samsung Kies and the phone couldnt connect for 10+ minutes. It finally connected and started upgrading, in the middle of it all, I lost connection and it said to turn off my phone and re connect the usb. I did that and the phone was stuck on "firmware has encountered an issue". After googling for hours I finally found a thread on here stating Odin could flash/boot the phone into the old condition. I proceeded to do that and then the connection stopped in the middle of that. My phone went blank and will not turn on. I bought a USB jig and had it shipped overnight for $30+ from Amazon and it doesnt work. Is there any other option I have other than slamming the phone into the ground or going to tmobile to purchase another pricey phone? I appreciate any feedback I am beginning to hit depression stage now hahaha.
Can't be that depressed with all those hahaha's
use Odin to flash the standard Samsung ROM which you'll need to download, put the phone into download mode
(hold power + home + vol DOWN)
It also sounds like you have a crappy USB connection. Either get another cable or don't move the phone when its doing these important changes.
Then you'll need to root it again (or leave it stock if you wish) you could then download and flash a rooted ROM

the hahaha's are a coverup. The phone will not go into recovery/download mode for anything. Ive tried holding the home+vol up/down+power and nothing happens. Im not able to do ANYTHING. It stays off and thats it. I ordered a new micro usb connection but im afraid that its too late for the phone. If I could get it to turn on I would know where to go from there with rooting but it wont even turn on.
I believe I found my own answer...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392487
I used Odin to unlock the bootloaders on my S3. Odin said it completed successfully and the phone shut off but never came back on. I've tried pulling the battery for a few hours but that didn't do anything. I can't get into download or recovery mode. The phone doesn't do anything; no lights or sounds. The only time anything happens is if I plug it into my computer with the battery out; the red LED will go on for a few minutes but nothing else happens. My computer (Macbook with partitions for Lion & Windows 7, have tried with both operating systems) recognizes a device is plugged in but nothing actually happens. What do?
UPDATE: sent it off to have it JTAG'd and it's not bricked. JTAG guy says the eMMC is probably corrupted. So much for giving Android another shot.
I have an AT&T Note 3 SM-N900A. I Installed X-Note Rom on it a while ago, but I recently have been having problems charging the phone and was going to take it to an AT&T Device Support Center to fix it. I tried to install the stock firmware N900AUCBMI9 using Mobile Odin, only to see the a boot up screen that says "System Software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone . Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help." I tried to get the phone to connect to Odin on my Windows PC, but the computer will only say USB Device not recognized, and it won't show up in Odin at all. The weird thing is that it says USB device not recognized even while the Note 3 is off. The phone also stays on while in Download Mode when connected to USB with no battery.
I was wondering if there's anything I can do to at least ensure that the people at AT&T can't power up the phone and see this message. I should have just left it on the custom rom, this looks way worse. I'd rather have a hard brick at this point, at least they wouldn't be able to see it was rooted and flashed. I really screwed this up, if I knew I'd be having issues I would have never rooted it. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks for your time.
