Hey everyone,
I tried flashing a new rom from my phone earlier and I think it may not have flashed successfully. I hit reboot after it was finished installing but my screen remains blank and the blue led remains lit. I have tried battery pulling and using the button combos to go into either recovery or download mode but I haven't had any luck. When I use the buttons to go into recovery or download mode the led blinks for a second as though it is recognizing the command but the screen remains blank and the led stays solid blue. I have tried hooking the phone up to my computer and ODIN doesn't seem to recognize it either. Does anyone have any ideas or can anyone confirm if I am bricked? I would really appreciate some help. I have had this phone since the day it came out and have messed around with it quite a bit but I am out of ideas and have always been able to either boot into recovery or download mode Thanks in advance!
I would try a jig first. u can get one off ebay or make one. also if that doesn't work jtag maybe be your only option. hooe you can bring it to life man
What did you flash ? I was drunk as hell last night flashing a kernel in Odin in the phone section and wondering why it would never finish until I realized it was in phone not Pda .... I did it like 3 times before I finally fixed it got Cm7 back on it with no Baseband ... Funny now but odined a radio and all was fine.... The only thing that will usually F this phone up is flashing bootloader from int. Version that's a instant brick not fixable

I flashed the "tbm" FB17 rom which just came out today. I downloaded it directly to my phone so there is a possibility it could have been a bad download. Prior to that I was using Calkulin's stock FB17 deodexed rom which was released yesterday.
by chance did you use the touch recovery at all? lots of people have been bricking their devices lately using that.

i flashed the calk's fb17 deodex version, and it started this boot loop. i pulled battery, and odin'd back to stock el29. still stuck in sgsii bootloop. it's seems to be acting like e: partition doesn't exist.

I'm going to go to Sprint today and if that doesn't work I might try the JTAG thing. Or just sell it to someone who wants to do it and get another phone. I don't really want to get another phone, but... I gotta do something.
Thanks for the responses.

Well since I just bricked my phone I decided to start this tread. I figured it would be helpful for people to read to keep them from bricking their phone by not following the same process of the unlucky few who have hard bricked their device.
I flashed the Rogue CM9 kernel through Mobile Odin Pro and while on the FB17 leak from Calk which is where I think I made my mistake. when I went to flash CM9 alpha 3.1 it got stuck at install for about 15 minutes before i decided to the battery which I knew was a HORRIBLE idea. When I tried to boot back up all I got was a blue light. My guess is that the phone didn't like that I had a AOSP Kernel while on a TW rom and got confused and froze because it didn't know what to do next. The good news it that sprint is ever so gracious to provide me with a new phone coming in the mail on Thursday since they don't have any in stock. I just told them I got a update and when it installed it wouldn't boot back up and I should hopefully be back in business with some CM9 yumminess later this week thank the cellular gods for insurance!
Some users are reporting that mobiletechvideos.com is somewhere you can send your phone too have it brought back from the dead.
I got the exact same thing but my sprint reps think that the screen went out and are trying to replace it.
So I just got my second e4gt yesterday from hard bricking mine by flashing CM9 alpha 3 then flashing cwm touch recovery after I restored a nandroid of el29 it just wouldn't boot back

Everyone should hear this LEAVE CWM TOUCH ALONE ...... DON'T EVER TOUCH IT ... it is most of what is bricking these phones ... Unless they fix it don't use it for this phone .... How many people have to brick because of it .... Use the trusted acs rouge or cwm but not the touch

Somebody should make a sticky thread that warns people not to install the touch recovery from rom manager for this device. I notice everyone who hard bricked their device was by installing touch recovery through rom manager while using the leak ics roms or cm9

Yup CWM Touch killed my evo during restore and data wipe.. 1st it soft brick my phone and had to factory restore a .tar and now it finally killed my phone. gotta pick up my replacement tmmrow
And yes i was using a ICS FBXX rom during this

Flash Miui Rom then flash CM9. Dont use CWM touch at all.. just use a basic recovery like rogue or stock CWM
Yep. Touch recovery seems to be the common denominator amongst the bricked phones. I was lucky enough to just get mine swapped out at a Sprint Service Center. I certainly won't be using CWM Touch for anything ever again.

I think the culprit is using an aosp recovery while on a TWIZ ROM... I would avoid that because I bet that is the issue...
It doesnt seem to be just the Clock Work Mod Touch. It would seem that sbrissen thinks that in ICS the data partition or blocks are slightly different and this is causing errors when flashing ICS or back to GB from ICS. So id say for now stay away from ICS in general until this is completely sorted.

so what do you say people do who have flash ICS and want to get back to GB without screwing up.. just use a .tar?
You can add me to the list...also was using touch recovery. I wonder what Sprint/Samsung is thinking about all of our E4GTs coming in for repair hahaha

Yes. I odin back to el29 stock with root and then install cwm rogue then restore a previous backup. The process is bit much but better to be safe than sorry

My phone kept looping on the loading screen, so i pulled the battery and got in CWM. When i did a data wide so i can restore from a saved file the phone got stuck on wiping.
So i pulled the battery and the phone kept on looping the samsung logo and would not go back to CWM, got inside ODIN and tried the stock one click EL29 ODIN method, everything flashes but gets stuck on data.bin. i re-start the process to only be stuck in the same data.bin step. the ODIN one click pro does not stop responding it just gets stuck.
I tried the ODIN method where i load the stock none rooted tar file in pda mode, this method completely passes but when it restarts it goes back to loop mode.
I tried getting into recovery mode but it loops also (Holding Volume up and power)
I am currently trying a different ODIN oneclick TAR file, maybe this will work, i will update when it finishes.
I do not know what to do next, i have flashed all individual files in ODIN also.

You were on a ics ROM ?
Used a ics kernel to wipe data ?
Were using ROM manager?
Using touch cwm ?
Didn't read OP for the ROM either ?
Almost all ics roms will tell you not to use a ics kernel with cwm that is the cause of the bricks ...
If you can answer yes to any of the above you didn't read enough... There are a dozen threads about bricking phones on here that would have saved your phone....good luck at sprint getting it replaced

Samsung screwed us by changing some partitions and until we get source to know what they did its best to follow the OP to a T because no one has bricked when using a GB kernel to wipe or flash ....just the ics ones

This is where your /data partition got corrupted. The data wipe in ICS-based CWM.

ODIN OneClick is just serving as the messenger to tell you your /data partition is corrupted. You could have used CWM, ODIN, ODIN OneClick, etc. They would all tell you the same thing. The EMMC memory is actually damaged, it isn't just a partition data problem.
It is unfortunate to have the issue with ICS-based kernels and custom recovery, but that is why all the threads stress using GB-based kernels with custom recovery to do your flashing.
Lesson learned. At least you work for Sprint and can probably get things resolved with less hassle.
Yeah lesson learned. I just did the repair ticket on it and will have one on tuesday.
When the new one comes i will go straight to ICS build 31, and not even mess with anything else.
Its just amazing how we cant figure out a way to format/partition the currupted /data.

It isn't a format issue.
The hardware emmc memory is damaged.
JTAG bitblasting would have overwrote everything if it was fixable. That is failing in this case.
So basically you are asking why we can't reformat a hard drive that crashed and make it work.
You are doing what's right. I had to flash the one click Odin 3 times to get out of a boot loop after trying to restore a GB ROM MD5 from a ICS kernel. Learned the hard way. But if you can get to DL mode, you can usually fix it. After the third time i was able to get into standard Android recovery and do a factory data reset. Then flashed the rom again and it booted right up. I was lucky though. Hope it works out.
PHONE WONT BOOT AFTER USING ALPHA 6 ICS(darchstar)
I was using this rom since it came out and haven't had 1 problem. after just using it normally it froze. did a battery pull and tried to reboot but was stuck on logo with the cm9 animation. so i went to recovery mode i had an error. i tried doing a format and froze. so i did another battery pull and now my phone wont boot into recovery or download mode. all i get is a blue led light. any ideas?
I'd like to think that putting BIGGER red text in the OP's might help but apparently not...

If he's on stock recovery, he is pretty much screwed. If he had custom recovery, could probably get the phone running again, but USB would probably not work.
I had the similar experience two times.
First time - When I just started learning about this phone -
odined I9100.
Second time - accidently flashed M250 rom a week ago.
But in my case, I was able to go to DL mode and reflashed sfhub's one-click odin and problems were solved.

I have a problem, that I cannot find nor figure out the solution, I hope there is someone here that can help. I have used and have flashed with Odin many many times and have never had a problem.
Problem:
I am running a BeastMod 5.0, and before that I was running a ICS ROM...can't remember which one. I wanted to make sure I had everything ready for when the Official ICS dropped. Went to flash the stock which is posted here, got all the way (in Odin) to the Modem cache.img.ext4 part and that is where it hangs. I actually left it overnight just to make sure, and was still stuck on that part of the flash. It keeps rebooting to the Kies download page and only way to fix is to Odin Flash clockwork recovery. I have tried the super wipe, cache wipe, and every other tool I can find, but it still always get stuck at the part listed above.
Hopefully someone else has had the same problem and been able to fix. All help is greatly appreciated.

Try reflashing the recovery. Once in recovery, reflash the ROM. That is what I had to do. Hope it helps. Also, make sure and upload the ROM to your SD Card...the superwipe doesn't touch the SD Card.

Sounds like the emmc data corruption bug, there's s thread about it in general somewhere. Basically sounds like you damaged the data partition which for now means a permabrick, they're looking for a fix in the thread in general but last I checked one hasn't been found yet

Please check your Odin log and try full pkg - not Nodata ver. If it hits the eMMC lockup it should hang on data.img if I remember correctly. Also trying to access data partition by ADB, such as dd, should cause the phone to hang until battery is pulled.
Once verified only solution is replacement at the moment.

I'm also concerned when you say you were using Agat's recovery when you bricked (if you are bricked). You flashed an AOKP rom, which probably has it's own kernel and recovery. Anyway, you can't use his recovery with AOKP...not compatible.
I didnt see were you tried el29 oneclick??? All i seen is that you tried another ics oneclick! If you havemt tried el29 oneclick give that a shot. I seem to think that flashing from ics-ics roms in cwm recovery or any recovery was bad??? I have always used odin or mobile odin just way safer.

This might be your problem, you need to flash back to GB i believe try the EL29 one click like I said and see what that does for you? It may be a soft brick if you still have your recovery intact! And the fact that the oneclick you did install passed is good since it passed !!!
I think your problem may be that your CAPS LOCK is stuck in the ALL CAPS position... It might be confusing the computer when you are typing commands into it... Jk!
But from the sounds of it the problem may be that you're running a ROM with an incompatible kernel. I would recommend doing sfhub's EL29 one-click rooted full restore. You're able to get to both recovery and download mode so it leads me to believe the phone is functional but you're just not doing the right things to get it functional enough for you to use it.

Good luck!
Damn!!! That just happened to me right now!!! I am soooo frustrated. I have flashed a million times and i tried that aokp 39 and i am in same situation! I was on wicked sensations and AGAT's had no problem going ics to ics. I usually don't take a chance and just use mobile odin but this time i was not paying attention. Please let me know if you find a fix
