yeah, battery was dead, plugged into the charger then hit the boot button, then it turned on and i was like "oh ****, oh **** oh-oh, i guess the battery needed to be charged"
so, any admin please delete this thread.
reading this makes me ill. I had the 3 vibrate problem twice ended up with a good refurb and my warranty ends today.. I've been offered $180 for my inc1 !!. I just can't let her go though.

My phone bricked trying to flash a new rom. My screen doesnt light nor will it go into download mode. Only the blue led lights up. Anyone know if the jig will bring it back to life?

What are you talking about...
The point of a USB jig is to save your phone after a hard brick.

You really don't know anything at all do you?
A jigg will only save you if download mode is accessible, when flashing anything ICS incorrectly or using CWM touch you could easily destroy your partition, this means no more boot, no more odin no nada. The emmc chip is a gonner except with j-tag. If you don't know anything, you shouldn't speak, a usb jigg is for soft brick, not hard brick hence the terminology soft brick (repairable) hard brick (unrepairable) read my thread before your screw yourself too. if you don't believe me just try it, and then test your lil fancy jigg then you can hit the thanks button for knocking some knowledge into you noob.

Actually you could've just corrected/linked me without this "better than thou" attitude that XDA is infamous for. Thanks for being the shining example.
OP: My bad, I was wrong and I guess you're effed. Statik was right.
Damn that sucks. This is one of the reasons I don't like hacking my device.

Don't let one little thing deter you from rooting and hacking, the upsides heavily outweigh the down sides. I did a little research and these guys will fix your phone for 50 bucks: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-epic-4g-touch-jtag-brick-repair/
I'm quite surprised that i actually bricked. I've been downloading roms since i owned the thing. Always soft bricked with no issues. First time i tried to download Cyanogen mod. and boom, gone. I ordered a JiG to try out anyway. Will report back when i get it. Will try Jtag if it doesnt work. Thanks guys.
Good luck

Yup. Screwed. I had the exact same problem. Josh at mobiletech gave it his best but it was something about the motherboard being ****d but hey, he did offer to do the replacement if I could find the part. But meh, I chalked it up, decided it was time for a contract/insurance (was using an e4gt flashed to cricket) and got my new one today and had AOKP running smooth 30 mins later
And!!! I have a fancy paperweight!

my phone is in the same situation as yours right now. completely bricked
How is it even possible to get a complete brick by not flashing anything? Just wake up one morning and your phone doesn't turn on? Doesn't make any sense...
I have and the S1,2 &3 flashed 100's of ROMs and usually the only thing that can hard brick a Samsung is flashing a ROM/Kernel for another phone or a bad flash from ODIN.

You did something that youre not telling us because things dont just break randomly, and/or without cause 99% of the time.
I dont help people that try to act like "i dont know what happened, it just magically stopped working maybe a unicorn tampered with the motherboard while i was asleep" kind of nonsense.
The guys on here are trying to help you and youre not giving any information at all. So go and waste your money and buy batteries, service calls from a repair center.
But "i dont know maybe im missing something", and "i dont know what happened" is not an acceptable response from someone seeking help.
So go ahead and pulll out all the four letter words and insults, but until you start to pony up some good information your phone will be dead, and you can begin preparing it for its next stage of "life" which would be a desk decoration or christmas tree ornament

Why do you reboot so often for it to be an issue?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I honestly NEVER have understood the boot animation thing,
I sometimes go a week without rebooting my phone.
I should get into habit once a day, but still it's like 10 seconds maybe once a day, that 99.9% of the time only you see..
If a boot animation makes you dis-like your phone, I don't think that the phone is the right choice for that person.
also confused how it's getting old fast? Yes they shut down htc dev, but sonic is taking care of that, if someone can't put down $8.55 for $600 of insurance, then well, I guess no root for you.
No risk no reward. I know fully I may not get my HTC One back and in working order.
but I trust Sonic, I have faith with him and with a signature required and $600 of insurance I feel pretty safe with where my phone is.

Yes I know that.
I suppose my point was, don't judge a phone by it's boot animation.
all is cool guys, one comment and it's like king of the hill to jump on the guy.
this is the internet, we all have our opinions.
I never said his were wrong..
man, it's just a boot animation guys, some care about it, (like the splash screens) some just don't care at all.
based on how you use your phone, and how much you reboot, etc. many variables.
No need for name calling Moderators, though.
Well Members here is one of those Moderators....

I mean i understand that this is a kindof temp fix to get data off device
But. Wtf. You guys in reality all your doing is voiding waranty. Absorbimg moisture from the fridge. Setting off the moisture strips.
Like this is the first time ive heard this one and thats got to be the dumbest idea ive ever heard. And from what i read it dont even work half the time or more. Its boots up for 30 40 seconds. Isnt a fix.
Then as the device heats up in the fridge just makes even more condensation.
WOW. Ive heard it all now

i didnt come out and say it if thats the case corecting me or not u just said i too so u watch yours too
im just making a point that putting a phone in a fridge is a dumb idea and all its doing is tripping the indicators
and voiding any waranty anyone had of getting their g4 fixxed
come on.
this is stupid to be arguing over wtfs and other words
i hold a completly valid point thats its a stupid idea
just because someone says it works and it may have temp worked lets jump a bridge ive read about people claiming lg says their craps been wet and the same people put their crap in a fridge
both of you ive been in this game a long time 100 post apiece for u guys memebers since 2011
so not much input from either of u ove what like 6 years. at least im trying to help people.
risking my device for testing porposes to help the community. says ure on a nexus on tapatalk. do u even own a g4?
im just trying to keep people from making stupid desicions based off others "findings"
Snooping around my profile now lol. Do i own one? Well i bought two back in November 15, so i own two actually, (one of which died a couple of weeks ago), and think that qualifies me to follow this thread, if that's ok with you?

Yea u kinda got one. Lol. Hate it for you that one of the ure g4s died. Just please dont put it in the fridge before sending it in. Lol.
Well having 2 i guess doe qualify u into the threads.
What's the matter? My G4 suddenly got the bootloop problem, and I had no backup of some data.
I did put it in the freezer and luckily managed to complete a full backup.
It worked and didn't harm my device... send it for repair, got the mobo replaced.
This thread should be deleted, I don't get the point of creating a topic to complain about that, seriously.

its just a point just cause ures made it ok
we all know that moisture can form as the device heats up in a cool place its common science
aside from if it works or not its dangerous and can lead to tripping the moisture indicators
mods please delete my thread here its just causing issues and arguments.
no one sees my point and i see no need to keep this thread alive either
No comment
I left it 30 minutes max in the freezer. It's no problem.
Putting a device in the fridge is not the same as throwing it in water.
I can't imagine LCI being triggered by fresh air. Smh.
Hi everyone!
I hope someone here can gimme me some help cus i'm soooooo lost as to what to do. I've google my head off for about 2 hours now and found nothing that really seems to help my beloved 10.
It's turning on then going off and just stuck in a circle. Back and forth all the time. I tried this power button thing and got that to work. I did the full reset (is that the right name for it?) and it still goes in a circle, back and forth and on and off.
What's a girl to do?
Any help would be awesome. And please excuse me. I really am a dumb blonde!
Oh... a friend of mine on fb said to come here (which i finally found!) and ask something about a rom? What's that all about? He went to bed without replying, so i haven't a scooby!
Anyway, if someone sees this and can help lil old me, i'd soooooo appreciate it.
Thankoooooo!
