During ODIN modem flash, pc froze and rebooted, now I just get a blue status light

OK my PC froze and rebooted in the ODIN modem flash process. Now my phone only has a solid blue light in the top right corner (status light)
I can't get to odin download mode, or android recovery.
Any help here?

do you have a usb jig to force it into download mode? sorry to say man but you might be bricked. try taking out your battery and push the power button and hold with battery out for like 10 minutes. leave the battery out for another 20. hook it up to your computer with no battery try to put it in download mode again. if that doesn't work you may need a jtag as its more than likely hard bricked.

usb jig?
I will try those right now.
Thank you very much for your info

Unplug your phone and remove the battery, put the battery back in, try to put it back in download mode. If that doesn't work you will have to take it to sprint and hope they exchange it, I think I answered this question earlier today.

I've tried pulling the battery. Same thing, just blue light.
It has a bad ESN, can't go back to sprint. Samsung maybe...
I found the jig you were talking about, I bought one on ebay. Fingers crossed that'll work for me.

ya you might need to have it jtag. good luck man hope you don't need to do that man

jtag?
What's that?

Essentially it means pay somebody with special equipment to flash your phone. It is a hardware-level connection used to flash but often isn't exported in a nice easy to use interface once a device goes into production.

that is awesome!

LOL that was pretty cool. Who thinks of this stuff...

please help

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.

Thanks guys. I got my screen at eBay . And ya it was working fine before the screen cracked and nothin would turn on exept for the keypad.

Did I brick this already?

So I was messing around/not reading directions and trying to root with Chainfire's and also the Toolkit. I am not sure what happened. Long story short, I am now stuck at the galaxy note 2 startup screen. Is there a file I can Odin to get everything back to normal? I was trying to root the phone.

Are you able boot into download mode?

Because when I tried to root galaxys2 with samsung factory cable odin was fail and appear the symbol of soft brick. And I tried with other pc in my house with the same result. I decided change the usb cable to a generic and try for last time and finally I pass the odin flash. Maybe a damage cable maybe not. he dont have nothing loose in this position. Sorry for my bad english and I happy for you for your new device

[Q] Slimbean Brick

So I flashed the latest Slimbean last night and it instabricked my phone. Total failure. After I rebooted the phone would turn on, wont charge, wont go into recovery or download mode. Yes I flashed correctly and yes the battery was charged. This is probably the 10th rom i've tried with this phone. Any help out there?

Make sure you're trying to boot into download using the correct combo (Vol down + power + home buttons) use Vol up for recovery.
Make sure the file you downloaded is for US GS3 codename "d2att,d2tmo, or d2ca" and not anything international.
If you didn't flash anything international or from another phone you shouldn't be bricked.

Hmm, maybe I did flash the I9300 one, but even so. Why would that mess with my recovery/download?

The I9300 flash contains a kernel specific to I9300, not I747 or I747M...

Because the international versions hardware is COMPLETELY different than US version.
If you did flash international version you're completely out of luck, you're bricked and your phone is now a paperweight. Sorry bud.
Only thing that can bring it back to life is JTAG service.

Not good, when I get off of work i'll look more into it. Thanks guys.
Edit: When plugged in to shows qhsusb_download. Can I flash from Odin with this or does that mean it needs jtag?

Download Kies to get drivers then disable or uninstall kies so it doesn't disturb Odin. Flash stock ROM with Odin and you should be good to go. You'd need to get into download mode though on the phone. If you can't, I'd say you can only JTAG.
Course, I've never bricked my device. That's just what I gathered based on the little bit I just read up on. Good luck. :thumbup:

As stated by busarov, if your device is seen by your PC there is still hope!
Try Odin as many times as you can as long as your device is visible.
I've read its taken up to 5 times times for some users to get it to work after flashing international firmware.
Just don't use Kies. Since your device is rooted it will have problems. Stick to Odin.

Slimbean didn't brick your phone u flashed wrong file should clear that up.....good luck on repair

There is not necessarily hope. The PC can still register a generic USB device on a hard brick. Unless the phone can be put into download mode, either by Volume Down + Home + Power or by homemade/purchased USB JIG, I'm afraid a JTAG is your only recourse.
Keep in mind if the device does not turn on at all, no vibrations, no flicker of light, even after a battery pull, and the only sign is a red LED turns on when plugged into the charger, the phone is hard bricked and will require a JIG (not guaranteed) or a JTAG.

Agreed, even though you flashed a Slimbean ROM, it was for the incorrect variant. Your thread title should be changed to reflect that, as it may cause new users to be fearful when flashing that ROM.

It's going to require jtag service. I can't change the title of the thread, but if a mod wants to, please go ahead.

That stinks. At least it an option for us on Samsung devices. Mobiletechvideos.com for jtag is fairly quick from what I have heard. Good luck to you

Yep, that's a hard brick alright.
I used this JTAG service for my D2att S3 and it worked out great.

e988 KEEPED BOOTING INTO CWM, NOW ITS BRICKED!!!! IT WONT EVEN TURN ON

I was trying out a kitkat kernel which was for our kitkat official but I stupidly used it on an aosp rom and then my phone would only boot into cwm recovery and then I factory reset and it now doesnt even turn on, it shows up on my laptop but im running windows 8 and i havent been able to use the unbrick methods. If anyone can help out it would be appreciated and if i need to send it to LG i know i have breached warranty so what should i say to them?
Thanks!

Can you get into download mode?
Make sure the phone is off. Hold volume up and down at the same time and plug you USB cable into your phone, your phone should go into download mode.

It wont turn on at all, its like all the partitions have been corrupted. I cant get into download mode and when i go into adb it say (fault device) so I think ill need to send it back to LG

Sometimes if you try to charge the phone for a really long time (say 12 to 18 hrs at stretch) - the phone starts to turn on. Try that. and see if you can boot into download mode.
Also, when you give it to LG ... tell them that it is not turning on, thats it...

ok, i tried charging it but nothing happened so ill send it to them and just say that it wont turn on. Thanks!

Once they get it booted up and see the custom kernel and Rom they are most likely going to charge you full price for another phone and of course will not honor any warrantee. As long as you're ok with that go ahead and sent it back for a replacement. with that bein said, it's probably best you tell them the truth so you get accurate info from them ahead of time.
