I think I have bricked my phone. Im pretty tech savvy I have had around 5 phones and have rooted all phones. I flashed a rom I had not seen before in rom manager. It is called minium 1.0.7. It flashed fine and I hit reboot and my phone did nothing. So I did a battery pull for about 3mins and put it back in and it wont boot at all. Is there anyway I can get it to come alive again. Thanks

Its pretty much not safe to flash stuff from rom manager anymore. Tons of stuff that isn't for our phone shows up in there now, huge problem. But more than likely you are bricked. Only hope you have is holding volume up+down at the same time, and plugging in the usb cord until the "warning" comes up. If that does not work, you have no hope. If download mode actually does come up, i will point you in the right direction to fixing your phone.

I just sent my phone back to Samsung for warranty when I bricked mine. If it wont boot at all 99.9% chance they just send you a refurb.

Bricked a previous gs2 with ROM from other gs2 forums. Sent it to Samsung and replaced under warranty free. Recently picked up this one and wishing I never sold the previous one

Try putting it in download mode by using an official LG usb cord and plugging it into a wall socket. I know the LG cords have the constant power wire switched so you might be able to do that. I have seen it done before.
Talked to my awesome tmobile friend and she has a new one coming Wed and only cost $5 to replace. Thanks guys for all your advice.

Probably worth it but your friend is pocketing $5

Samsung website, register the phone and information is on there. Took about 10 days or less for it to get back.

Just got my replacement in and I have noticed it doesn't have a lockscreen. I have rebooted and and turned the screen on and off. The screen turns on and without having to go thru a lockscreen.
The other thing I noticed is if my hold down my power button my phone turns off. It doesn't prompt me to put it airplane mode or anything. It doesn't even ask me if I want to shut down it just does. Can't get a custom rom on thus fast enough.

Ok, it finally booted and it works but only charges with the computer when i connect it to the wall charger it turns off... What can i do?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
try a different wall charger?
I will try it later, don't have one right now the news is that it is turning itself off again solo... Turns on when he wants to, when its loading it shuts off and starts vibrating, only sometimes it boots completely what can be causing this?

My girlfriends phone has been having an issue where this thing pops up randomly. I attached screenshots. It is rooted running DW 2.6. If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it or tell me what may cause this. Thanks in advance.

If it's an extension you're talking about the male end of the micro USB cable then just plug the other end into what ever you're trying to transfer to. Or are you asking about a USB flash drive?
