Legitimately bricked my phone, just want an expert opinion - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running viperROM 5, went to clear my battery stats and hit clear dalvik on accident without realizing it. No big deal, went to boot up phone and it hung at the samsung screen for over 10 minutes so I just thought I would flash back to stock and reflash the ROM. The original reason I went to wipe battery stats was to calibrate my battery, which was almost dead. I switched to a spare that I thought was full, started odin, left the room, and came back to odin saying FAILED. Phone is completely unresponsive, the charge light will not even come on when I plug it into the wall or laptop. The computer does recognize when I plug it into the computer but it doesn't know what it is. Gonna sell it for parts on ebay unless someone here knows something I don't, thanks in advance =/

Even though Odin failed... cant you still get into download mode ?
if you can i recommend using any cable other than the stock one

I dont think your developing anything here so i would say this will get moved to the appropriate thread.

Your battery died. Odin consumes a great deal of battery power. Unfortunately, it failed so you can not charge your battery through your phone. If you get a new battery or charge your battery exteranlly, I bet you can get into download mode again and odin

This is what I was hoping to hear--I'll give it a try, thanks!
Sorry this is in the wrong place, not sure where it should have gone instead >.>

I have heard, though never tried myself so take it as the unfounded rumor that it is, that it is possible to get the phone to boot in some fashion with the battery out of it, then insert the battery while it is on to "jump start" the charging.
I hope I never have to try it because it sounds like it has lots of potential for problems, but if your phone is well and truly dead what do you have to lose?

This actually worked! I can get into download mode, although I don't know if the battery is really charging or not. Either way I'm in good shape, I just don't understand why neither battery would boot into download mode when one of them had about 10% left.
Also this clearly belongs in Q and A, sorry!

Even without the battery as long as your phone is plugged in with the USB it should go into Download mode ... i think

Everything is back up and running, thanks everyone =)

Wait, so you legitimately bricked your phone, but you got it working? Liar!!!!

As usual, a claimed brick is FAR FROM a brick, and despite all the notices shouting at them, people continue to spam up the dev section. Come on, people.

Help!! Bricked Evo

I have been rooted for a while and successfully flashed a few Roms/Kerenels using rom manager. I was flashing the newest version of Myn and one of the "warm" kernels that it offered with it. Everything was going normally the rom loaded fashed the rom and kerenel the phone was reseting then out of nowhere i got the image of the white box and android guy with an arrw as if to say "android taken out of box" I left it like that for about 5 min then took the batt out and tried to reset it. I got the same image then i tried vol. up & power it vibrated 3x and did nothing. My buddy had the same problem yesterday and he got it workin. I called him and he said all he did was pull batt/restart over and over till it booted normally. I tried that about 10x then it would not turn on again. Plugged it in, no response no led light up.
Am I bricked past the point of no return, and if not what can I do to get back in business
Try volume down + power..
also if you have a spare battery on hand try that
Ive tried all button combos ect. nothing I have tried has gotten me ANY sort of response from the phone

can u get it to turn on to splash screen?
at the risk of sounding ignorant what is that/ how would i get it up because I cannot get it to do ANYTHING but sit here off with no display no led light not led when charging its almost as if it wasnt recieving power or something
can you turn it on at all?
Can you get into the phones boot loader?
Take the battery out and plug the phone into the charger let it sit for like 1 min then put the battery back in while on the charger still. Wait for the led and then
Vol down + power
Go into wipe section and wipe everything
Do you already have updated radios?

following the steps mentioned above the LED never came on I still have not gotten it to do ANYTHING... do you think that if i brought it to a tech center they would swap it out because there is no way to get it on and if they cant get it on there is no way they could tell that it was routed.. right? also in regaurds to the antennas i believe it did i think myn made me do that as part of the kernel change/rom flash

First yeah they should just exchange it at a sprint corporate store.
Second myn didn't make you do anything, he made a suggestion.
Third now I know what you did wrong, which was obviously pulled the battery while the radio was updating.
Fourth, you have no choice but to turn it into sprint as there are several documented occasions where ppl have done the exact same thing and had to exchange their phone..
Fifth get a good nights rest and head to sprint first thing in the morning!

Possible Fix
Last night I decided to flash Calkulin's Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV combo..something I have done several times. Only this time I was discharging my battery and I forgot that the low battery warning had come on. So, long story short, I ended up with the little box and the android guy. I did a search and came to this thread. Anyway, out of desperation to do something, I connected my phone to fastboot commander and since I couldn't put my phone into fastboot mode the phone was not recognized. So I switched it to the system settings. No sooner than I connected it than the the progress bar started initializing under the android guy. The screen dimmed and came back on and then went to the splash sceen and booted up. I don't know if this is a fluke or what, but I'm pretty damn happy with myself for solving my own problem. Maybe this will help someone.
UPDATE: I tried to flash Calkulin's Radio, WiMAX, PRI & NV combo again to make sure everything flashed properly and the same thing happened. I connected my phone to fastboot commander and it worked again.

[Q] Physical Battery is Stuck

Hey guys,
I'm trying to remove the battery to replace with a 3800mah one, but it's stuck and I can't get it out. I've tried wedging the damn thing out and it still doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I destroyed the battery because I can't turn my phone on now, I just want this thing out, what should I do?

Any hope for this bricked phone?

I was trying to install a new kernel for my Epic 4g so I could possibly upgrade or get rid of the ****ty theme that came with the phone I bought on ebay. Whilst doing so through Odin I believe it said Failed and now my phone won't boot into any mode.
Is there any hope for this phone or anyway I can take it to a sprint dealer and possibly con them into getting a replacement?
Have you tried battery cpr? Leaving it plugged in holding the buttons for download mode(1 and the power button) and popping in and out the battery?
Get a better cable that's probably why it failed. Also huh? Flashing a new kernel for a new theme??? Makes no sense bro speak some english
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
You can't boot to recovery or even download mode? Does the screen turn on at all when trying to power on? No Samsung logo or boot screen?

I have the same problem. Can't boot into ANY mode. Generally "soft bricked" phones can get into download mode right?
Any suggestions what I can do? I have TEP so I was thinking of just taking it in.
No lights come on, nothing happens at all. If I leave it plugged in the battery gets a little warm, but that's the ONLY sign of life...

Remove the battery and SD then replug into your PC and reboot download mode. The reason people brick like this is repartitioning with only a kernel or checking bootloader.

omg. I was about to head out to Sprint when I tried for the 99th time to put it in download mode. and it popped up! (battery only)
I thought for sure this thing was dead. How is this possible if I was doing the EXACT same thing repeatedly, eventually it works?
It appears to be some type of reset that takes place and sometimes only letting it sit for awhile will fix it. This is why some people think the magic button works.

You removed the param among other things. This caused key combinations to not render if a normal boot started. The one time it did work it was a direct boot into download mode. (I have no idea about my theory and am talking out of my @$$.) Your phone also could have been low on power.

[Q] need some help going back to stock

OK so i know this info is scattered around, but frankly i am a little confused at this point. i'll start with my situation.
i'm running slick ricks AOKP JB rom. i was on build three for very long, skipping several updates until milestone 1.2. i did a dirty flash (right over build three) and it seemed to work, until i started to have battery issues. my phone would die if i used it for more than a minute anywhere under 60%, and was unable to power back on. upon plugging it in, the battery started charging right back up from 60% or whatever percentage it died at. i blame my dirty flash. i upgraded to 1.3 and it's even worse, it dies anywhere under 90% now.
so, i was thinking i need to just bite the bullet and start from el26 with cwm. but i started to get confused at about this point. if i'm using a jellybean rom, do i need to use "JB Touch-Wiz Based Kernels" or is it okay to flash from el26?
second, it has been very very long since i had to go back to stock and i was just gonna try and start from el26 and see how it went, without bothering yall. i clicked on the link in the sticky thread w/ all the kernels and get redirected to a new repository. can someone confirm that this section is what i want to be using? and the oneclick exes are probably most dummy proof, yes?
thanks in advance guys. i was never very pro at this, and now i'm just in need of some clarification.
edit:
knew i was missing something... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252 flashing now and i'll report back.

Before you do anything else please pull the battery and try to spin it on a flat surface.
$100 says it spins... and all your problems are due to a bad battery.
Exchange it, replace it.. and those problems will go away. :angel:

but yea it spins on both sides. my extra is totally flat. that's amazing.

so i pay the 8 bux a month or whatever, on my bill, thru sprint for the warranty. is the battery covered? anyone know if its worth going to a store to try and get a free replacement?

Go in and show them it spins. Any store supporting TEP should replace it for free. If you have time call ahead and make sure you get that same answer as well as a name to hold accountable. Should avoid most hassles that way.

Flashing blue light means that the battery has failed. In this case, it could be another component in the phone that is failing too. Try getting a new battery. If that doesn't work, I am afraid that you are hosed...

Not sure if this will apply... but I had my phone go crazy where it would charge but as soon as I took it off the charger it would give me that ( battery low, connect charger ) and shut off. But in my case it would boot when plugged in. I went into recovery and wiped the battery stat stuff and it fixed it... probably different situation then what you're looking at but thought I'd throw it out there..
