have you tried hardreset(red+green+power) or emergency(b/w+enter)mode?
might you can solve this way =)

My phone was bricked two times
1) The phone rest stuck to Samsung screen when I open it
2) PDXIB1
3) Samsung Center changed the motherboard of the phone

Symptoms:
Every application will respond with message: Application is not signed or missing components (or something else). Only soft reset worked - but phone did a hard reset every time. Sometimes after hard reset contacts stayed as it was (everything else was deleted). These troubles last for 3 days for me until my phone died. Board is damaged and repair will cost 310,- €.
ROM version:
28205 @96 DPI made by ironeagle
Repair:
To buy a new board and a new battery (cause the old one has been damaged too - or just use a second battery instead).

how to execute emergency mode

i donn't know how to getin emergency mode,can you explain what i should to do

emergency mode is the mode u use when u flash a new rom
fn+enter+power(5 seconds).
Anyway, when my device bricked...it was almost 6 months back.
I used quite a bit of wifi, and left my device on the charger with wifi on accidentally. When i woke up a couple hrs later...the device seemed like it was in standby charging. Pulled off the charger, but the charging LED was still glowing! Device didnt respond to anything, pulled the battery out and put it back in....and boom! went totally dead...tried different batteries, tried soft reset, format mode, emergency mode...nothing. no sign of life!
mobo had to be replaced....got it done free as it was just abt 15 days old when this happened
I think its more of a hardware fault....some units being faulty waiting to blow in your face!

Just spoke to Samsung service about bricked phones: From their experience they have changed mobo only once, when 780 wasnt charging, but was working.
But they told that in case of fault of bootloader - thay DONT restore it, just replacing motherboard!
So there is chance to repair you phone by JTAG tool.
I hope trizzio that helps.

Dude I advise you to visit http://www.omnia-repair.com/ and ask on forum if someone can do this for you. Tool is about 300 EUR and Omnia is top brick phone, so you should find services that already have it, it does support i780.
tip: use google search for more options.

Hey guys,
my phone was bricked: I'd flashed heineken's "i780 WM 6.5.3 ver.28205 DPI 96" rom. After two days some errors appeared and I flashed (&hardreset) the rom again. While connecting to ActiveSync the connection was broken after some minutes. Then I have disconnected the USB-Cable and the phone was frozen. No reaction. No hard-reset keys, no LED reaction while power-connector.
So... I'm not shure whether this problem is because of heineken's rom. But the good news are: Samsung support switched the motherboard because of 24month guarantee

Im sorry SAM.
This first version was really weird, I have changed algorythms of compile again in version 2.
But there is always way when you get starnge glitches before you get brick - to flash offical rom to avoid a brick.
As for me I never had any of symptoms..flashed 1001 time.

About bricks...
I have experienced described situations (sudden out of memory, unable to run any app becouse of errors, dissapearing data and so on) around ten times during my cooking/flashing adventures, with different ROMs from different developers. Sometimes at the begining, when weird behaviors of my i780 started, I tried flashing device with other unoficial images, but problems remained. I think I even posted about my problem somewhere...
And I could always recover my device doing one simple thing.
Flashing official PDXIB1.
But important thing is that YOU SHOULD USE OFFICIAL UPDATER from Samsung site (in my case Vista version), not a .bin under Mirage!!
I know it is stupid, but it works better (and if something looks stupid and works better, then it is not stupid any more; Murphy`s law)
In my case Mirage not always proved to be a sollution.
SO every time when that situation emerge, thats what I would do very quick:
1. Hard reset.
2. Flashing oficial Samsung Updater (tutorial on Samsung site)
About reasons bricks happens; I have found no pattern. It happens with WM6, WM6.1 and WM6.5 or WM6.5.x. Sometimes one and the same ROM works perfect two weeks and flashed next time generates bricks.
As someone noticed previously, it is probobly a hardware-software problem, some kind of memory /filesystem/ FAT? damage and it is possible to revert that by flashing official ROM..
I am not a computer scientist, but thats only pattern/mark I can see..

please help on a bricked/dead i780

Hi all experts,
I am a newbie on this. I am in Canada, since here we dont have i780, so I brought it on ebay and didn't realize its not really an unlock phone.(been cheated) although is sim free but GPS and many other 3rd party app don't work. so i was looking for solutions and found your thread here.
I followed the flashing guide and everything seems to be ok until the russians rom is flashed. The phone turned off itself and cannot turn on anymore. I have tried holding ENTER and FUNCTION button, solf reset hole, and Start + End buttons to turn it on but it doesn't response at all.
I have spent my hard earned $500 on this phone and i am so depressed now... Please kindly help me on fixing my "not just bricked, but dead phone" or i have to save up for months for a new one... sigh..
your response is highly appreciated
Jack
I feel your pain and I had the same issue as you before.
Phone won't turn on after flashing and the mirage reported the flash was 100% done.
I suspect this is due to the samsung modem driver was not installed properly. I had forgotten to do a reboot after the driver install or it might be due to something else.
The way I fixed it was to send to ther service center as it is still under warranty. They had to replace some chips to make it work again and I think that might be your last hope.
thanks for your advise. I did install the samsung modem driver and did reboot the PC before starting mirage updater..... but somehow turn that way.
I brought it from ebay, do you think it can still be warranty? anyways.. gotta try my luck.
thanks tho
I just contacted Canada's samsung service centre. They said They dont have this model here in Canada, so cannot fix my phone.
Please, anyone can give me a hand?
What about a hard reset? have you try it?
try to re load the rom.. i am using HH1 for phone and HH5 for the PDA... works good... with the russian ROM PU (if i am not wrong) i had to load few times as the process stopped at 80% or so... and u can load the ROM from this thread without loading the PU rom..
i have the same troubled too~~

Phone is freezing while starting

Hello,
I've just installed HardSPL succesfully, after that I wanted to install MightyRom 4.6, so I did. That went succesfully too according to my computer. Now when i want to switch the phone on, it keeps hanging with the T-Mobile picture on it. I've done a hard reset for several times and also a few soft resets. I also took my battery out for a few minutes, but when I switch it on, the same thing happens.
Please help me out of this !
Ps. sorry for my bad english !
for taking a little stress from your brain take an other rom - orig. rom from your provider.....
(go bootloder from pda; if your orig. rom only one *.exe-file you have to extract (winzip/winrar) it before flashing; connect usb (bootloader screen change from serial to usb); than flash)
but before you do this, how long you have to wait and look to your screen?
it can be sometimes a very long time until a windows-screen is coming.
if your pda gets hot than dont wait and flash asap new rom.
after 5 minutes waiting without any changes you have to flash an other rom.
I think I may have the same problem with my Diamond. I also installed MightyRom 4.6. Now, when I power up my phone, I get through the RGB stage to a white backdrop with instructions in blue to push volume button up for a reboot to manufacturers settings or push volume button down to reboot to manufacturers settings and wipe the movinand....after I select either one, when it gets to the HTC logo (HTC Diamond in white on a black background), it freezes. My pc won't recognise my phone when I plug it in...
Do I now have a really gorgeous paperweight or can I hold my Diamond to my ear again? Insight into my problem would be much appreciated.
By the way, XDA Dev rocks. Thanks to all who made this site possible.
Brick or no brick ?
Oh, I forgot to mention that my phone was a non-branded HTC running a Duttys rom. I did not want to get a DOPOD Diamond from China Mobile as they cost more and I dunno if they put Big Brother software in there.

do you have it in the boot loader before you plug it in to your pc?
Brickety brick, brick, brick...
My phone does not recognize my pc and vice versa. I tried plugging the phone in before booting it up. I tried while booting up. I tried at the white screen stage...nothing...help...
It also doesn't stay at the RGB screen for long...maybe 2 seconds...
Please break it to me gently if I have killed my HTC...I don't want to start drinking again...
...
My phone is a GSM Diamond. MightyRom 4.6 is for CDMA. If I combine the two(like I did) then am I screwed?
Can someone please give me some insight, please? I have been scouring the net for 3 days non stop now and my eyes are going to explode...
What is Jtag and can your average home user use it? Is it hardware or software...?
Cobbs: I assume when you say bootloader you mean something other than the RGB screen,,,cos as I stated in my first post, my phone does not stop on the RGB screen...

*UPDATE* Help - Phone won't boot after attempting Sim Unlock

Hi Guys,
I am aware of how to upgrade a ROM, how to Use HardSPL and how modifying in general works, although I think I may have really broken the phone now.
I had OliNex 1.40 installed since forever. I have used several Roms in the past including EnergyROM, Ahen's Roms and I have currently been using Makeveral's BSB6.5O Rom, and it was working great.
The last time I tried to use the unlock, i tried to flash it with the 'Subrata' unlock package (the one with Step 1,2 and 3' folders. It didnt work both times I tried so I gave up. It said it was unable to write to the phone. I reflashed with BSB Rom and all was well.
Today, I found a seperate unlocker. It was a simple .exe file that opened up what appeared to be the 'CustomRUU' application. The screen initially went black and then the program said that it lost connectivity. I did read that it used Cmonex HardSPL but I did it anyway (I take responsability for this error) and from then on, the phone will not boot. No matter what combination of Hard reset button combinations I use, nothing happens. No vibration, no light around the centre button that I can see, nothing.
So is there anything, anything at all that I can do? Or have i totally F**ked it?
I have also done alot of searching both on here, PPCgeaks, all the forums.
Let me know, cheers guys.
I had a similar problem: Screen was black, no reaction from the phone. But i was able to connect it to my computer, it was not really detected, even though
i was able to flash a new Rom with a Custom RUU. Perhaps you could try that?
Try to change the rom . Pull out the stylus , Press the reset button and hold the VOLUME DOWN and the right down button . After connect to pc
The phone is in an Off state - I recharged the battery in it overnight - no white glowing ring around the centre button. No combination of buttons work - nothing happens and the device is off still.
OK, regardless of what has happened, Ive sent the phone to Victoria (Australia) to be repaired or replaced under warranty.
I just hope that it is so scrambled that they cant figure out that the device has been toyed with - will keep everyone updated!
btw - does anyone understand what technicians with more advanced tools would be able to determine (if anything)? Do they use special hardware to view the contents of the ROM or how does it all work?
thanks friends
Well..not exactly, but they have probably tools to examine the flash/memory/parts of the phone. interesting question
Update!
I sent the phone away to the Three mobile repair centre - the phone is back, fully repaired and Running BsB again.... just awesome.
it seem they replaced all the components of the phone except for the shell itself, I dont really know why they didnt just replace the phone? lol
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I told them the phone wouldn't boot after an overnight charge - thanks 3!
Sorry for bumping.
I have the same problem! I used the same program; 'DiamonCustomRUU.exe'
The screen became black. I can't open the bootmenu, soft- and hardreset doesn't work
It's a Dutch branded Vodafone TD.
I have to send it to Vodafone for repairing?

1)Wrong thread.Please do not post irrelevant things.
2)Download my guide and you will see how you can hard reset.But I cannot understand why your phone hungs up!I do not think this has to do with opera.I have opera and it works fine.
Help! My LG KS20 is dead!
I have tried searching, but nothing came up.
Yesterday while flashing, it said something timeout (1st time the bar runs across)
Now, I cannot activate emergency mode. I cannot charge the phone. There is no response, no light. Charging the battery full has no effect. Taking the battery out has no effect too.
Is there any way to fix this? My warrenty expired just yesterday

Very strange problem!Maybe your battery is dead Take out the battery and connect the mobile with the pc.If nothing happens then it is not a battery problem.Have you tried a correct hard reset?By saying correct, I mean holding the 3 buttons for many time until the leds flash and then flash out.Then you must release the buttons.
Thanks ibanezman for your reply...
Nope, nothing. Battery is fully charged (I have an external LG charger that was given free).
Nothing happens when I remove the battery and connect to computer. I cannot do a hard reset, because there is no LG logo, and no lights. Not green, red, or blue.
I can't flash in emergency mode, because holding down Internet Explorer and Power gives nothing. No usual green light. Laptop doesn't detect anything. Nothing in device manager.
Today while going through the logs in the LGMDP folder I came across this.
<AppName>Log For Web DownLoad</AppName>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<Date>2009-09-08</Date>
<Time>23:53:24.-473</Time>
<IMEI></IMEI>
<TIMESTAMP>20090908235324</TIMESTAMP>
<RESULT>FAIL</RESULT>
Notice there's no IMEI number? Could this mean anything?

I do not think this has to do with IMEI.Maybe you have lost your IMEI in the flashing process.But I believe your phone is dead/bricked
I really cannot feagure out any other suggestions.Maybe you should take it to LG Service.

Hard bricked after update via SD card

Hello,
Let me give some information on fore hand.
A few months back my phone suddenly decided that it was funny to give me an error about "Settings has stopped working". This wouldnt go away. So i just downloaded this rom: 0PKVIMG.zip.
This way i was able to revive my phone whenever it decided to show that message again. So i kept it on my external SD Card. In case it would happen again.
Today, it decided to show the encrypted screen for no reason(Phone was in my pocket.). After i entered my Decryption key (It did accept my Screen lock pin) It showed me the error that the data was corrupted.
I went into recovery(Had 80% of battery left) reflashed that rom. After it said it was finished it was stuck on the bootloader for almost 2 hours.(Sometimes it took it an hour to show the begin screen.)
So i decided to reset it with the Power and Volume up keys. My screen went black and it didn't turn on anymore. So i came home and connected my charger just in case.
Then the battery charging light indicator started to blink. Then i knew there was something wrong. So i took out my ExSDCard just incase. Connected my phone to my PC.
My PC recognized it as: RELINK HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 (COM5)
After a long time spending on google i found out that this is the "Download Mode" for the Qualcomm chipset/processor.
I downloaded QFIL with some package i found on here in an other Thread for an other Device. It was for an other phone so i thought well, it's broken anyway lets try it. Ofcourse it said SaharaFail because the files didn't match with my phone.
I tried going into fastboot mode. Won't go in there. Bootloader/Recovery won't go in there either.
I was hoping before i send it in that i could fix it myself with a bit of help from you guys.
Thanks in advance, i hope i provided enough information and i am sorry for my English.
I am from The Netherlands and my English isn't that great.
Kind Regards,
FastE

Well Quallcom HSUSB mode is the mode where you can send direc commands to the cpu in hex speak... i remember that from another phone... so you will only be able to revive it if you find the correct msm8939.hex that can start the download of a partition table and partitions.... i will be honest to you... this whole process is only for very high experienced onces and you will need help from other m8s owners ( you need dumps of most partitions )
so if you find that mprg8939.hex anywhere we can try to revive it.... BUT in 90% of cases your IMEI can not be restored so you cant do calls.... in 40% your emmc is so hard damaged that you cant use it....
there is a second posibility wich is not possible on every phone.... on i9300 (sgs3) you can revive such a phone by creating a microsd card with a partitiontable like the phone and all coresponding partitions so you can boot straight from sdcard... but this case is really rare

Thanks for your quickreply. I hope someone can provide me these files. The first phone i own that i didn't root or mess about with fails on me. Lucky me!
I was hoping i could find something in a RUU but my internet speed is very slow. (600kb old telephone line..) I was afraid it was pretty bad. Still can't figure out why these "problems" happend. It just suddenly appeared. And the zip on the SD card was a good solution but i think the EMMC was already corrupted when the first error occurred months back. Will this fall under warranty? The device has some scratches on the back. A few dents on the sides. But the screen did never crack luckily.
Again thank you and i hope i can get it sort off working again because my subscription will end in April next year...
With kind regards,
Erwin

if you never unlocked your bootloader and you are still in warranty send it in... i had a "sudden dead" emmc myself 2 weeks ago (never unlocked never rooted ) and send it in aswell ... they replaced it... but if you ever unlocked the bootloader the warranty is void
