Hi all,
i just bricked my Galaxy Gio... i installed Rom Manager, downloaded CWM Recovery 4.0.1.5 which according to this:
http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
page is the version to use with the Gio. After flashing CWM Recovery I turned the phone off.
Now my phone is _completely_ bricked... it doesn't respond to any input at all, it doesn't respond to my pushings of the on/off button.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Flash stock with odin, plus there was a thread to not to flash cwm from rom manager.

Odin won't detect it... I guess I'll have to turn it in to my operator.

They will charge you for money, i think you need peteragent5s guide to unbrick your gio....

I found this:
http://androidflip.com/unbrick-samsung-android-phones-click-guide/
in a thread here... trying it now...
It seems that the phone is bricked permanently... it won't even go into download mode... :'(
Look for unbricking tutorial thread in
The Android Development section here by Peteragent5. There is a soultion to unbrick gio. And if you ever want to flash CWM, flash it from stock recovery (press home and power button at the same time when phone is off)

everyone! Its no use, you have to bring it back, say that you dropped it or something, they repaired mine for free
Sent from my good ol’ Gio
Give it to the service guarantees if you have
Say that when you update your phone software Kies is disabled and will not turn on
The program you probably burned RomManager Memory Storage Capacity
So for anything they should not come
A Kies as it gets updated Boot can load anything so as to disconnect the phone is dead
Perhaps exchange the motherboard and that's all

Thanks...
...for your commitment folks, i really appreciate it.
I turned the phone in to 3 today, they will probably have to replace the motherboard as Rom Manager seems to have... messed it up bigtime.
Hopefully they won't charge me much for this though in the reparation log it says:
Warranty: None
Insurance: None
I got the phone just a few months ago when changing mobile operator to 3... i'm really happy with the phone, just have to fully understand that in the Android world your not quite as protected as in the realm of iOS – for better and worse.

Man, try to send it for service. A friend of mine melted his cellphone motherboard just by installing a ROM with RomManager. Don't use RM anymore, it doesn't always work properly and sometimes may cause really BIG problems..

i recently got tmobile galaxy s2 with cracked scree. so i replaced the screen and when i turn it on. it reboots then after 1 min it does the same thing over and over. idk why that's happening. any idea how to fix the problem. help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I would recommend you call and get another if you just got our. I really don't suggest the following return it! I am not responsible for what you do with your phone. If it is bad hardware you want a new one.
You just need download mode hold Vol buttons on boot and plug in USB as it boots but before samsung logo goes away (may take a few good tries there is a real trick to it sometimes).
If that works follow Odin flash directions for rooting the phone. I used theunlckr guide myself (easy find via Google).
If you can get download mode and flash a recovery package to it you may get it running. may just be really bad flash on their end.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU REALLY TRY RETURNING IT AGAIN IF YOU JUST GOT IT. USE THIS ONLY AS A LAST RESORT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS WITH YOUR PHONE.

Did the phone work fine before you swapped the screen?
Either, you shorted something during the screen swap.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
or this also happens with non oem parts. Where did you get the screen? Either way I'd take it to a cell phone repair store.

Hey guys,
I flashed arco's ICS alpha 3 using CWM and everything was working fine for a few hours. Installed some apps and rebooted the phone. But suddenly the phone didn't reboot and now isn't turning on anymore. I can't even get it to the recovery or download mode. It's totally bricked. When I connect it to the PC, it trys to install QHSUSB_DLOAD driver.
Is there a way that I can unbrick the son of a *****?
Any help will be appreciated.

In my opinion it is a full brick. To "unbrick" the minimum is to be able to get into download mode.

I was affraid of that. But ok. Thanks for the response. I'll try to go to samsung costumer center and see if they will help me.
I installed Winamp Pro, XDA and Swiftkey X for testing.
I was able to reboot the phone with no problems even after I installed the apps. Rebooted it a few times. But on the last time I tried it bricked, for no apparent reason.

put your phone for a half hour on the charger and then try to enter downloadmode.
or pull out the battery för ten minutes and then try to enter downloadmode
No. It's completely dead. Won't show up anything.

It is becoming ridiculous how much we have of such threads lately. Wonder what fix they expect from us since they do not even bother searching which device that rom is for...
First try to get into a download mode.
If you couldn't try the following methods that used to work with Vibrant:
1. Pull the battery out
2. Hold both vol up & down
3. Hold Power button
4. Connect your usb to a PC and phone
5. Insert your battery
6. Flash any rom

I sent it to mobiletechvideo, they repair hard brick and it costs $60 a lot cheaper then buying a new phone. This wasn't the first time I ever flashed a ROM but the stupid mistake was not doing a research. I assumed that ROM is for AT&t version. I have read in this forums that as long as you don't flash At&t modem you should be fine but I know I grabbed the wrong ROM (At&t Galaxy S II). Well you learn from your mistake I finally experienced how it feels to have hard bricked phone....lol

Ok, so I had my Samsung Galaxy Gio rooted for a loong time, no problems at all...I decided to download the app called "ROM manager"...that was the most stupid idea ever... I chose a model, the first one on the list, wich I cant remember the name, and I selected, after it downloaded the Clockworkmod, I pressed To "Fix" something, auto app shuts, etc... Then it asked me to restart my device, as soon as I did that, my phone "died/bricked"
I CANT START IT IN RECOVERY/DOWNLOAD MODE
I already tried takinf out the battery and replacing it, I kinda tried the Odin process, but imma noob at these things...
I guess my phone is hard-bricked...
If there is no solution but sending it to Samsung, will they charge anything for the repair (im on portugal...)
PLEASE, SOMEONE SAVE MY PHONE'S SOUL!
too bad, theres nothing you can do..
you just need a bit of luck that samsung will fix it for free, I think they need to replace the motherboard
It happened to me this....they fixed it for free to me.Good luck with u too

oh okay
thank you for answering, I was just reading about how to do it right,
Maybe you can try this :
1.take off your battery,press volume down+power button.. (make sure your battery are not empty)
2.While you keep press the two button,insert the battery and press your home button..
3.Hope that it will enter download mode,then flash it through odin..
I've test it yesterday,i fix my friend's phone that have the same problem (his phone bricked by rom manager too) and it was success..
