Okay guys, I need some help from some genius hacker out there! I bricked my Evo... I know what you are thinking... Yes, it is a REAL brick!! the kind where your phone does not respond to anything at all!! It doesn't even charge or connect to the computer, the screen doesnt even come on.
I was updating the radio and it went to the white screen with the green android. When that happens you are supposed to let it sit, its loading or whatever, i rushed in and took the battery out, and that's where i screwed up! I knew i wasn't supposed to do that but at the moment i didn't remember that part!
Some help would be greatly apreciated, if you can fix my problem, I might be able to pay back with some real information about boost+evo!
Thank you

If you pulled your phones battery during a radio update your phone is now a paperweight. If it won't turn on there's nothing you can do. I hope you have insurance bud. Sorry

Nevermind.
If you pulled the battery before the radio update finished and it wont respond, its pretty much a sure thing that its done man. Sorry There isn't anything anyone can do. Have you tried charging the battery for a while or a different one?
Edit: Damn y'all fast, lol.

Unfortunately, you are correct. You now have a REAL brick and there is nothing you can do about it. If it's under warranty, take it to sprint and see what they say.
That is the one way to guarantee making a brick out of an Evo...pulling the battery during a radio flash. Sorry for your luck.
EDIT: We all replied at the same time. Nice.
Yea, that's what I thought, but maybe, just maybe, someone came out with a solution... But yea, i have 2 batteries and a charger for them... I have done sooooo many worse things to this phone and this is the one thing that actually screwed it up... LOL
I wish i could take it to sprint, but i can't.. LOL don't ask why please...
Oh, well, Thanks anyways!

Well since it doesn't turn atleast to don't have to restore to stock to bring it back just don't let the techs put your SD card in the new one. They mightjust check to see for obvious. Zip files and such

Haha, I'm going to ask anyway, WHY??? Does it have something to do with your boostmobile comment in the OP? Or for some other reason you don't have Sprint service? Bad ESN? I don't really care, I'm just curious. But yeah, as everyone else has said, you're hosed. You might be able to get $50 on craigslist as a non-working parts phone. Or, call up HTC and see if they'll do a warranty replacement without involving Sprint. No idea if this is even possible, but it's worth a shot. Unless the ESN is bad, then you're probably on your own.

You know, ive never actually checked if my esn is bad or not... hmmm, it probably is! but ill give htc a call nevertheless.
The best thing you can do is throw it in traffic and see how many cars run over it, 'cause it ain't no good for nothin' else.....
is there such a thing as truly dead?
i remember that before, hacks to phones were done using hardware interfaces.
arent there any solution like that for the evo?

Best bet is to sell it for parts on Craigslist or eBay. If all of the hardware is in good condition, you may be able to get some money for it.

Hi everyone,
I made a stupid error last night and I flashed the wrong rom to my phone :S I flashed a AT&T ROM, now my phone won't turn ON at all tried all combination to go into download mode nothing happen. When I plug it to my computer it required a driver that I couldn't find. to make it worse I called T-mobile hoping that they will help me but they couldn't because I don't have a prove of purchase :S since I bought it from someone else.
Any idea what can I do ?
Yep, it's dead for good unless someone has figured out how to make/use a USB jig for the TMO SGS2... that's why we read before flashing roms.... it's never really a good idea to flash a rom from a different device anyway.
What a retarded mistake, seriously?
You go to flash a ROM but fail to even recognize that they are two totally different phones?
If you are that clueless you should not even be flashing ANYTHING

I doubt it'll come back to life without a USB jig. You can try calling T-Mobile for a replacement again and just tell them you need a warranty replacement...the person you were speaking to probably doesn't know that proof of purchase is not required. I've never had to show proof of purchase and always gotten my phones from somewhere other than tmobile, but I think that would be considered fraud in your case since its not really a mistake on the manufacturers part....
Does it boot up? if it doesn't boot at all you're golden. Just call in for a warranty replacement.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes, even if you do not have a proof of purchase, you can call Samsung directly and get it replaced.
Please remember this guy came here for help not to be criticized. I also know that when something like this happens, it's no fun and he's probably feeling bad enough as it is, so why add salt to injury?
Thank you for all your good replies, say what ever I'm retard or anything you want. I made a mistake ( because I didn't pay attention ). This is not the first time I flash a phone ( I flashed my previous Nexus one and flashed my HD7 ) and I previously flashed my Galaxy S II with BeastMod, I don't know how I missed it this time.
Thank you for the time that you wasted to tell me how retarded I am.
I ordered a USB jig last night and I'm waiting for it if it didn't work I'll send it to Samsung.
While I was searching to try to help Tunisiano, I came across another thread about a "bricked phone"...LOL
Apologies for laughing, but this guy in the other thread said his gf bricked his phone when she flashed the wrong rom from another device. He said he left his phone in the house for a while when he went out and she tried to flash a rom for him cause she does not like the TW launcher...LOL
...Idk if he's telling the truth or not but that was funny and people there bombed him for that...(I'm sure some of you were on that thread). I mean come on, "my gf flashed the wrong rom for me" LOL

I did it, not ashamed, it happens and I'm by no means new to the root and ROM game. Odin'd recovery and forgot to untick repartition. Same thing you got...Qualcomm high speed USB interface...this phone is way more sensitive in download mode than the vibrants are. So I brought mine back once for that then two more times for the screen.

They can't do it for T-989, only AT&T version of Galaxy S II
My first two word in my post was " Stupid mistake" because I know that it's preventable...
There's no one among us who hasn't made some type of mistake at some point in life so lay off the guy.
Sue you might not make THIS particular mistake but that's aside from the point.
For him to meekly ask people for advice while openly admitting an error that he could've lied about or blamed on a made up entity and receive this brand of childish, elitist, holier than thou, insulting nonsense is an embarrassment to the rest of us.

How is it even possible to get a complete brick by not flashing anything? Just wake up one morning and your phone doesn't turn on? Doesn't make any sense...
I have and the S1,2 &3 flashed 100's of ROMs and usually the only thing that can hard brick a Samsung is flashing a ROM/Kernel for another phone or a bad flash from ODIN.

You did something that youre not telling us because things dont just break randomly, and/or without cause 99% of the time.
I dont help people that try to act like "i dont know what happened, it just magically stopped working maybe a unicorn tampered with the motherboard while i was asleep" kind of nonsense.
The guys on here are trying to help you and youre not giving any information at all. So go and waste your money and buy batteries, service calls from a repair center.
But "i dont know maybe im missing something", and "i dont know what happened" is not an acceptable response from someone seeking help.
So go ahead and pulll out all the four letter words and insults, but until you start to pony up some good information your phone will be dead, and you can begin preparing it for its next stage of "life" which would be a desk decoration or christmas tree ornament

Does anyone have experience with what happens when you return a rooted device to Asurion?
I dropped my GN2 from 8' onto asphalt and over the course of the next few hours the contusion spread over the display. In the morning the display was completely black and unusable.
I put in a claim with Asurion, paid the $175 and received my new one the next day -- thank you Asurion.
Now when I send my old one back, does anyone know if they'll see it was rooted and charge me a whole lot more money?
If so, should I drive over it a couple of times and really destroy it?
(Hypothetically, of course -- I would never engage in any kind of fraudulent activity...)
Thanks in advance.
You should be just fine, but why not just Odin it to stock real quick. Pull the battery hold volume down, home and power you're in download mode.

That's not cool, you screw up flashing your phone and expect T Mobile to replace it. That's why flashing and rooting voids your warranty.

Did I insult you somewhere along the line? To my knowlege, I haven't. I have though, been rooting since the moto backflip, so don't accuse me of things that you have no idea of.
Actually, I do think that I did something wrong when reloading tweaked 2.3 after a lot of lagging, fc's, various crashes and such. Wanted to get everything from the phone, so I wiped everything including the internal card just in case (backed everything up to pc and external sdcard) I also have a long history with t-mobile.
When by talking aggressively to the loyalty agent, he knew the whole story, I told him. On the other 2 phones, I just checked and I had those phones stock, not CM. They lost signal after stock update to C6. Have been checking and I'm seeing posts on losing signal not data, exactly what the sgs2 have been doing.

Actually, I did 'pay' for my mistakes. I paid the $5 each she said it would cost me. Sounds like I did 'pay' for my mistake. When I called I was expecting a bill of $525.00, as that is what is in the insurance papers. I always have my facts straight when I call.
Next time have all the facts, please.

Don't feel sorry for getting a one up on cellular networks.... they don't feel sorry for you when they screw you over.
Thats what I dont understand ...
Youre paying X amount of $$ for INSURANCE so use it. Asurion pockets all this money and still ask for a damn deductable. I dont even have a deductable for my Car Insurance.
So if going with the insurance, do whatever you like with your phone.
But, if going through Warranty then be sure its stock as possible.

OP did you end up sending back in a way they could see you were rooted? I dropped mine and have to do an asurion claim but i dont want any grief. I pay them enough money and this extra $175.
Also, my phone went swimming in the North Platte River with me drunk one night (the phone was drunk, not me) in a seperate incident, is that going to matter?
Last question, will I get a phone faster if I say this one doesnt work?

Like this is the first time ive heard this one and thats got to be the dumbest idea ive ever heard. And from what i read it dont even work half the time or more. Its boots up for 30 40 seconds. Isnt a fix.
Then as the device heats up in the fridge just makes even more condensation.
WOW. Ive heard it all now

i didnt come out and say it if thats the case corecting me or not u just said i too so u watch yours too
im just making a point that putting a phone in a fridge is a dumb idea and all its doing is tripping the indicators
and voiding any waranty anyone had of getting their g4 fixxed
come on.
this is stupid to be arguing over wtfs and other words
i hold a completly valid point thats its a stupid idea
just because someone says it works and it may have temp worked lets jump a bridge ive read about people claiming lg says their craps been wet and the same people put their crap in a fridge
both of you ive been in this game a long time 100 post apiece for u guys memebers since 2011
so not much input from either of u ove what like 6 years. at least im trying to help people.
risking my device for testing porposes to help the community. says ure on a nexus on tapatalk. do u even own a g4?
im just trying to keep people from making stupid desicions based off others "findings"
Snooping around my profile now lol. Do i own one? Well i bought two back in November 15, so i own two actually, (one of which died a couple of weeks ago), and think that qualifies me to follow this thread, if that's ok with you?
By the way the "c" word is "cussing" also [emoji14]

Yea u kinda got one. Lol. Hate it for you that one of the ure g4s died. Just please dont put it in the fridge before sending it in. Lol.
Well having 2 i guess doe qualify u into the threads.
What's the matter? My G4 suddenly got the bootloop problem, and I had no backup of some data.
I did put it in the freezer and luckily managed to complete a full backup.
It worked and didn't harm my device... send it for repair, got the mobo replaced.
This thread should be deleted, I don't get the point of creating a topic to complain about that, seriously.

its just a point just cause ures made it ok
we all know that moisture can form as the device heats up in a cool place its common science
aside from if it works or not its dangerous and can lead to tripping the moisture indicators
mods please delete my thread here its just causing issues and arguments.
no one sees my point and i see no need to keep this thread alive either
No comment
I left it 30 minutes max in the freezer. It's no problem.
Putting a device in the fridge is not the same as throwing it in water.
I can't imagine LCI being triggered by fresh air. Smh.
