Long story short, I flashed something I shouldn't have and bricked my phone. It will not go into download or recovery mode, nothing. I bought a jig, hoping that I could at least get it into download mode, but no still nothing. I really need a working phone, anyone know what I should try now? Please help me.

I cannot get past the start up screen! I have the CDMA diamond used
HSPL057 and attempted to update to SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5 (FULL) And now it will not go past the boot up screen!! What can I do?
you installed a GSM rom.
you need to do more reading.
1) Reading would have told you the differences between the devices and would have informed you you need hte correct one for your device.
2) you're not the only one who has done this if you do a search you will find how to recover from this issue.
3) i cant stress enough to read first do later. it helps you prevent situations like this.
Thanks for your help
The instructions said it was for SPRINT CDMA devices, that is what I have- I have searched all through out these posts and cannot find out how to recover from this. Can you please help if you know how?

(enter Bootloader by pushing the reset button while holding volume down key on the side)
Hope this helps ya out.

You are correct!! BIG TIME
Thank you so much for your quick help. I am downloading this right now. So once I download, connect via activesync, run the ROM and I should be back in business?
Nearly there..

Fingers crossed yes...
Read all the posts from the CDMA ROM page to get feedback and questions answered etc, and do a little more research via the "Search this forums" button before posting a query.
I guess we all started as XDA newbie's, so don't worry.
Got to log off now todaytoo.
Best of luck, will catch up on forums tomorrow.

Just 2 questions I think this was a good example.
Where is the CDMA Rom page?
What ROM exactly did you install? (todaytoo)
ok...its not working
ok, im at the bootload screen...I can connect to active sync. I downloaded the CDMA ROM it came in .rar format I changed to it .exe at when i run the ROM it does not do anything....
ok, now its not connecting to activsync....
Is there a trick that im not doing?
renamed a .rar file to an .exe ...new to computing?
You need to unpack/extract the rar file, just like a zip file.
Use winrar, when extracted all the goodies will be revealed!
/Psudo
wow...dont know where my head was
ok, so i have extracted it correctly....my device will still not conntec to active sync...when i plug it in from the bootscreen it changes to USB but activesync cannot find the device....any suggestions

I used the xperia root tool to root my phone and everything was great until I decided to flash a kernel.
The phone won't turn on when i press the power button it vibrates and nothing happens.
I can enter fastboot and flashmode but anything I try to flash fails.
I would really appreciate some help, thanks.

As far as I know you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom kernel. You can find answers in the Q&a, help and troubleshooting thread. Lots of topics on rooting and stuff. Just use search.

So you bricked your phone huh? That's a shame. I've only bricked a phone once, back in 2007 I accidentally wiped the NAND completely on my Sony Ericsson Z800i, and then rebooted it...
So, are you gonna buy a new Z1 Compact or are you done with Z1 Compacts now that you've bricked yours?

I don't agree. He can try flashing the original ROM via fastboot. He can do some research in the thread I pointed out. No need to give up just yet. And no need to be so rude, if someone tries to help.

Yes. But it wasn't me. Still I think it can be called a soft brick, maybe.

I know it wasn't you, I was just sarcastically reminding you that his phone is "bricked" (hence the [/s] at the end). But it was uncalled for anyway, My apologies all round.
Possible phone states the way I see it:
Brick - Literally unfixable.
Soft brick - Broken but fixable with special tools.
Not booting - OPs phone.
People shouldn't be assessing their phones as "bricked" because it implies there's no point to their post.

Could be completely unhelpful but I had similar after I rooted mine, I hard reset the phone holding the off switch down where the sim card goes and all was good. Sorry if youve tried that.
Hi everyone.
I have a samsung galaxy S2, I tried to upgrade the Rom, but made mistake, now it boots up and stuck at "teamwin" logo. Would anyone please help: how to fix this. I appreciated for your help.

Hmm, if I'm correct and since you don't seem to be such an expert. You may have to use adb or some other android debugger to flash it from the computer. Better get searching on how to do that because I'm not going to explain how.

wow dude... were you ticked about something when you posted this? he was just asking for help man....
it sounds like your recovery got messed up. download the .img file for your phone, put it on download mode, flash the img in odin, reboot to recovery, reflash your rom. shouldnt be too bad to fix. Old thread i know, but i was just walking down the t-mob S2 memory land and saw this impolite response to a valid question

You can still be helpful even if you are sarcastic, take House on the TV series as an example.
Agreed, but if help isnt included with the sarcasm when someone asks an actual question, then don't bother posting
