So I accidently flashed wrong ROM(cyan instead of AKOP) so I went back into recovery did full wipe, dark cache wipe n flashed akop, hit reboot system n bam...... phone is not coming on.
I've tried to boot in recovery n download mode but it just doesn't responde to anything. I even let it seat with battery out n tried botting with out sd n SIM card...
I end up going to Tmo store on my lunch break, rep pluged my phone in into the charger(thou it was fully charged before that) n tried to mess w it...obviously no luck so he ordered me replacement phone which came in this morning.
Anyways my questions r will they b able to find out it was rooted cuz I remeber seen something about them now checking if phone was rooted .....also I had some let's say pictures for my eyes only on my phones storage as well as some music n movie I torrented.....I take it as there is no way of recovering that...
If you can't turn it on hen chances are they can't.. Plus you already got your replacement

I've sent in a bricked phone with a custom ROM for a warranty exchange and had no negative consequences, if that's what you mean.

I was trying to flash my phone to a different room and I do not know what I did wrong. I was in Starbust, then I wanted to try Viper. Do I did a factory wipe, wipe cache, dalvik and system format. Then I did an update of viper and I did wipe cache, dalvik and system format, that's when problems started. I try to recover thought clock work, but it came to mind to just used Odinv1.85 but for reason I downloaded the wrong one. I downloaded the old epic Odin and when I realize I did that I unplugged it. So now I can even start clockwork or Odindownload mode..when you hold volume down and power. The only thing I get is a blue light on the top...Help???

Odin is odin there is no odin for epic and different for epic touch if you were using odin and just pulled cable while flashing you were stupid and bricked your phone for no reason congratulations that is why you read and make sure what your doing is right before you hit the go button

If all you get is the blue light, then it's hard bricked. You'll need to call sprint and play dumb or file a claim. Sorry for your luck but the idea bricked my first touch as well.

Unfortunately, the TEP covers this sort of crap.
Respectfully, if you don't know what you're doing/can't read don't root.
I do know how to root I just simply was not paying attention. But now I am fully rooted using Viper Rom....I was only asking for opinions not people reprimand me..The first and last time I brick a phone..

So after over a year of flashing, i think i bricked my phone. I cant get into download mode. Now is my second to last option is to leave the battery out for a few hours? Last option of course..sprint but i would try to try everything out first?? Thanks in advance...
Yep leave the battery out for a bit... take the sd card out also... after a bit plug your phone into the cpu with odin up and running (with the battery out) and hold down 1 and power... now slide the battery in and out continuously until you get into download mode... hope you get it...

I was in the same boat until a few minutes ago.
For me the trick was plugging to USB cable into the back ports of my desktop PC. I had tried different ports in my laptop, the front ports of my desktop, and the battery-in-battery-out thing. I also did break down and get a cable from Radio Shack. I thought I could cheat with a powered USB hub.
Now I am back to stock EC05 Froyo. Only trick is finding a place to download an EI22 or EL30 rom now that all the mega-upload sites have been taken down.
Many thanks for all the suggestions. I almost bought an Epic Touch -- which I really don't want.
I dread the day i upgrade too...im thinking touch or the nexus that sprint is getting in march i heard. The funny thing is after i unbricked my phone..i manually upgraded to el30..rooted my phone..and stopped..im actually enjoying the stock experience lol..i guess since i havent played with it in over a year...the battery life and signal is actually pretty good..i went 13 hours with 82 percent left...impressive. I love where android is going!! I do miss CM7 doe

Must be something in the water. Had same thing. Try plugging in a wired headset while watching a youtube, then unplug. This worked for me for 2 hours then nada. Reflashed rom and even reformated to mtd but no difference. Something is hosed in nvram. Replaced unit under tep as I also had cracked screen so didn't get too much into.

Odin back to stock EL30 and see if you still have issue. If you do it is a hardware issue. that is what happened to my wife. The repair center fixed it for free because I have the insurance.

It assures that you do not have corrupted data. Yes you will have to root and then flash CM9. Do not restore anything. See if your issue is gone, then load apps and set up your phone.

My phone was rooted remotely. I used to have odin on an sd card. I know I would understand it if I seen it done. Originally I just wanted root on stock rom and kernel but he asked me if I wanted gb or ics so naturally I wanted 2 try out ics. He set it up with shadow 4 kernel then I flashed shadow 5 on my own. I dnt understand y it would work fine for like a month or 2 then nothing.

I tried reflashing cm9 and shadow 5, then tried cm9 and included stock kernel alone with gapps, then tried shadow 6. no sound on all. but doesnt explain it working for a bit then going back out. idk
Mine works and I have always used shadow. Shadow has no speaker mods other than voodoo. Have you blown it with volume+?

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
Marcusant and kenny, is there a way of accessing any of the nvram settings for audio, like telling it to use speaker vs audio jack so these can be reset somehow? I recently went through similar situation. Plugged wired headset in and out while watching youtube. This made my speakers come alive again for short time so they weren't blown. I factory reset, flashed stock, all ota's, rooted and went mtd cleangb. None of this brought back speakers. Something was telling them not to come on. Got new device so moot point 4 me now...

Sounds more like it was the hardware jack itself that was bad and getting stuck on. Might have been junk in the jack.

Odin him back to stock to see if he still has the problem I suspect he will. My wife had this issue when on cm no custom kernel it was a hardware issue. I am not saying CM caused it **** happens and her hardware failed.
One way to tell if it is hardware is does it vibrate? If it doesn't vibrate then it is hardware if it does then it might be a setup issue.
Yea it vibrates. Phone sitting on the table with vibrate.....kinda like a ringtone right? Sad but true lol

Then it might not be hardware. When my wife's speaker stopped working it wouldn't even vibrate. When I spoke with the person at Sprint that fixed it he said it is the same unit. Of course I am not sure if it did vibrate at first because the wife didn't tell me for like 3 weeks that it was happening.
Hey guys, I am in desperate need of some help. I had to have my SG2 replaced because of a bad headphone jack and need to send the old phone in, as always I waited till the last day to try and get the phone back to stock and am running into problems. I have tried to download every ODIN file there is but it seems that none of the file work, I have been on here as well as searching u have google and cant get a "stock" rom that will work. If you have a stock rom that I can ODIN my phone back to stock I would appreciate it if you would send it to me. Getting really pissed at all the dead links and bs files people have posted, I just need to GO BACK TO STOCK..............Thanks for any help you can offer
It doesn't matter as they won't check. They'll send it in to get refurbished and that will wipe it. Trust me on my third sgs2, and the ones I sent in had a custom ROM on them. Never heard anything about it.

I didn't have this problem after I installed Triune II, but if you suspect the ROM is related, do a backup and install a different ROM to see if that resolves the problem..... just a thought and takes less than 5-10 min.
