Just about every root method, including videos, tells you to store all important files in a safe location, such as a pc, BEFORE beginning the root process as doing so may cause potential bootloops and such, forcing you to do a factory reset right then and there. Judging by the OP you really haven't done much reading have you? I suggest you start doing so. Reading, watching, and working through your own mistakes are the keys to success..

sorry about the wrong section guys!!! i really am.
I have tried RUU and every time i run it, it gets to the end and says no phone connected even though it shows the ADB and a bunch of letters and what not after it showing it saw a phone.
I can boot into bootloader and or fastboot but not recovery. and i cant get anything to push over via adb when i get to those screens.

Grab the latest pc36100.zip and put it in the root of your sd card.
Hold volume down +power till it loads bootloader. It'll load the stock rom back automatically and youll be fine. And dont root friends devices cuz as soon as they screw it up they'll blame you...trust me

If you had an issue trying to root the first time it might be a good idea to let him root his own phone. If you root a phone you understand the process he doesn't. What if you break it for good you have an extra $450 laying around?
I used YouTube and just dl the exe and that was that. Rooted and happy .my two cents

He said something about stuck power cycle on splash screen. I need to get back to the original roms. Before this happen the phone was on android 2.2

Best fix, is to ODIN back to stock and start over. If you flashed a ROM, you could try going into CWM and wiping data/cache/dalvik and reflashing...
Go to Development section and follow the thread near the top in the stickies regarding how to fix a semi bricked epic.

With the phone off, press and hold the 1 key on the physical keyboard then add pressing and holding the power button. Yellow triangle saying download mode will pop up. Then you connect the cable to the PC with Odin or Heimdall running.

Please examine this thread if you have similar problems, but please don't ask how we got it fixed. The phone was just done for, dead, bricked, whatever you want to call it.

Thats NOT a hard reset! Pull the battery, and insert it again. Now do your "hard reset". As in, holding volume up+home+power key together until you see the Samsung logo. Do a data wipe and restart. If that doesnt work, search for flashable firmware packages in the Development section. If that doesn't work either, replace your phone.
Hey guys,
Thank you both for your replies.

Stating what happened: He just suddenly had a white screen, unable to do anything with the phone. Rebooting, pulling the battery etc. didn't do anything.
Your second option didn't work either unfortunatly.

Sorry about that, I just read in about this phone, since it's not mine, and I already forgot about the second part.
Unfortunately, neither of this works. Every boot method gets him a white screen. Since he rooted his phone about a week ago, looks like he's going to need a new one.

try flashing the ROM using Odin from the PC
Might Odin be the same as Samsung Kies in dutch? Or is this an external program?
Assuming it's this program: http://odin-win.sourceforge.net/
Now how does this work? I've been flashing my phone for quite a while now, but I'm not familiar with this program. Can I just download a ROM (stock) from the developers part here?

I'm fairly a noob when it comes to rooting and whatnot, however i've learned quite a bit since i've started. I rooted nexus s with no hassel. My friend the other day gave me a LG Nitro HD, the phone boots shows the LG logo then goes to the Clockworkmod touch 5.8.2. I have tried installing roms on it, it will install the rom and run then when i try to reboot, the soft keys will flash for 2 mins before showing the LG logo and going back to the Clockworkmod again. Keep in mind there is nothing on the SD card besides the signed_HO!NO!_p930 i have tried other os's too. I don't know exactly what he did to his phone. Please help me out. Thanks a bunch guys :laugh:

I know I cannot get into download mode, Will be interested to see if Lugman can or not ... So unbricking is not an option at this point for me. Tried that yesterday also.
Lugman please post any progress sounds though we are in the same river of CWM... Why the HOX is so easy compared to this ....
Try charging it then do a battery pull then plug in the USB while holding the volume update. This should bring up a screen saying download mode. Then unbrick from there.

I can get into recovery mode, i did a reset and formatted everything (which i REALLY didnt want to do), but i need my phone on asap. After all that, nothing has worked after reboot. Still stuck on logo screen, someone please give me any ideas to get this back on its really upsetting Thanks a lot, really hope someone has some ideas.

If you can still get into Download Mode you can always flash the stock rom back using the Odin tool on your PC. Use the procedure below to get into download mode:
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be requires to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Then follow these instructions:
If u have a custom recovery there's always this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
And sadly yes cf3d does not work on any device with touchwiz jellybean
What I did in that situation is first download a stock deodexed rom.
Then connect your phone with your pc and open the Odin program on your computer.
(may or may not have to install Kies)
Then flash the deodexed rom to your phone.
