which rom did you try to flash on it?
if you plug it into the PC does the PC load (or try to load) some USB drivers for the phone? (not activesync)

sorry, then it's really dead, i.e. either the hardware is totally broken or in the best case you need JTAG to fix it. no software based solution possible at this point

Ok some questions:
Stock cable?
Reinstalled the drivers?
Is windows sayings an unknown device?
Solutions:
Take the battery out and sd card and leave it out use the computer as the power source and see if odin will com.
What windows bit are you using I know 64 and windows 7 has issues but I have drivers that should work for you.
Most importantly use a different cable 99.99% of unknown problems are caused by the cable being faulty.

Seems to me like there's something wrong with the usb port on the phone. I know that download mode produces a less amount of voltage than the phone on/off and if its not the correct amount the phone won't be recognise means anything I would try wouldn't work...

I did try completely reinstalling drivers and plugging in phone randomly during process to get it to catch but no go. Yea its definitely the phone not being recognizable and not my set up...I even tried having it recognize my other epic and switching phones right at start of flash...but it disconnected EVERY time lol...thought it was worth a shot lol. Wonder if I split a USB into a 2 headed snake I can reflash both phones at once?...maybe unplug one once it gets going....

i had the same problem on a phone i flashed today, used a cable from a different phone and it worked. also once i installed cwm i couldnt use the action button to make my selection. i had to use the camera button. I have flashed alot of these and never seen that until today.

edit: sorry, I read about it on XDA here a couple of weeks ago, thought it was OK but now I cannot find the post that I was refering to. So disreguard my reference please......
re-edit: found it!!! It was farther back then I thought. All I read the first time was the main page of the post & not the whole thread, I read deeper into it now & realized that even though some Dev's that I recognized started the post, it seems like it is unlikely to be true.......sorry again guys......

Have you tried doing a hardware reset with the reset button on the back of the Epic below & to the left of the camera?
If you try this, you should go directly to download mode & use Odin afterwards.
I don't know if this will work, but at this point it can't hurt anything.

Hiejole spanish for "son of a"
There is no magical reset button.... take it apart and there's no button. Most people believe this to be true because they left the battery out long enough for charge to go away.

what did you do before it died custom rom? flash a new recovery?

You sure its bricked fully? Cuz i had a brick a few weeks ago flashing something and testing it. My phone would not do anything with any of the button combos, no dl mode no recovery and when i plugged it into computer via usb i didnt get any sound or nothing. Thats a brick! Do u get any sound when connecting to comp? Idk if u cant figure it out call jtag but not sure if the debrick our device yet that will take around ten days u can google them i think its mobile tech. And what they do is take the board out of the phone sodder some wires on to it then run there software to debrick it then put phone back together. Now an easier option is ro just tell tmobile your phone died on charger and wont turn on tell them it was hot. They will never know especiallt if the phone wont turn on they will overnite one and it should only be 5bucks for a warranty exchange thats all it cost for me since our phones do have a warranty for year that is your best option u will get it the next day and it will be a refurb but mine is beautiful and looks brand new and the scree has like no lines actually nice. Now if u lost it or have damage that what insurance is for. That if u got it but like i said do the warranty exchange

yep that phone thejron is talking about, it became silent after trying to install a zip via rom manager. immediately after running the manager, reboot phone now, it flashed a small white light in the middle of the screen like a old tube tv turning off and that was it. no button light up. no dl mode no recovery. we tried everything. when hooked up to a pc via usb, the pc makes a usb connected sound but doesn't recognize anything or show up anywhere. if i hold the power button down, the pc actually makes the usb disconnected sound and does the usb connected sound when released. makes no sense really.

i have had something like this happen before...even though obviously from screen phone is not on , have you tryed opening odin the plugging phone up to see if odin recognizes? also since when in dl mode you first have to hit vol up to get there, you should try doing that too
just because phone is black and non responsive does not mean that it will not work.

odin doesnt recognize it at all. and when the jig was hoked up to it on and identical phone, it immediately went to dl mode. on this phone, we got nothing. jig in or out, volume up or down. nothing

Pulled Battery while in Download Mode - Now Won't turn on?? Any ideas

I had my T989 plugged in to USB, and my phone was in download mode. I wanted to reboot it, so I removed the battery and put it back in. Now it won't turn on. I tried different batteries and still nothing.
Is it bricked???
When I try using Volume up and down, and connect to USB, it makes a noise on my PC like its connected but then makes 2 noises like its disconnected.
What can I do?? HELP
EDIT
On system manager, it comes up as:
"HS-USB Diagnostics 9008"
If I purchased this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Download-Mo...ccessories&hash=item35b2e61b7d#ht_3861wt_1093

Its probably bricked. Keep trying to see if you can get it, and if not try sending it back to T-Mobile and see if they'll send you another one

Price is near 50 $ and so.

I bet it can be rescued by pulling battery, keeping it out for a few minutes, putting it back in, holding volume +/- while inserting usb cable connected to computer.

5 min ago, i pulled battery when in download mode... brick....
Just flash ROM again and it works

My S4 mini won't turn on, doesn't vibrate, can't launch recovery or download

So a few hours back I picked up my phone, but it didn't respond. A few minutes earlier it worked fine, and now it just seems dead. I cannot launch recovery mode or download mode. The phone does not respond to me holding the power button or something, there is no vibration and no visuals on the screen. Removing the battery and plugging it back in does not work. Leaving it charge for a while does not work. (assuming that it even charges). When I plug in the phone into my PC via cable I hear a sound that something is connected, but it doesn't show up on 'My PC'.
What do I do?

The same happened to my sister! Nothing worked, probably the motherboard died. Used it at leaset for spare parts for my other s4 mini. Especially the LED panel is so precious, it's cost is like half the price of the phone.

Yeah, likely. I ain't a geek or sth, but the same happened to my sister. Was looking for a solution for hours, but it's probably some random variation in voltage or sth that burns some part on it and then it dies. You don't have to crack the phone etc., it can happen randomly.

Wouldn't a broken motherboard make my PC unable to make a sound when it's connected? Also, when it's connected to the PC and i hold the power button for ~15 seconds, it disconnects. This would mean that the power button still functions

Then it's deffinitely NOT completely broken. A dead MB would definitely NOT identify the phone in the PC.

FW = Firm Ware i.e. software that is flashed onto chips. aka ROM.
But if you can't go to download mode you can't flash stock ROM again. So Yes sounds likely some component has failed or maybe just a bad solder joint, a short, etc) which is not allowing power up,( either way you need someone to fix hardware & install stock using jtag for you, probably not worth the cost on our old phones in most countries. but if you can buy a used phone with eg a damaged screen or other problem you may be able to get 1 working phone by swapping parts eg power board ...

The same happened to me last august... I posted here, but no one ever helped me https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/weird-bricked-gt-i9195-stuck-black-t3619023 i just think that it's some kind of programmed obsolescence, my phone was 4 years old and it just shut off and never light up again after closing a simple call... F*** Sammy and their timers!

Just happened my nephews phone. Was intermittently responding to buttons and now not at all. PC detects it and shows as "HS-USB Diagnostics 9008" in Device Manager.
There are a couple of guides online for using applications on the PC to interact with the phone using this device ID, but it seems to be mainly focused on LG phones. Anyone know if there's anything that can be done for Samsung devices?

The exact thing happend to my S4, it suddenly turnd of while im using it, did anyone find a solution?
