Bricked, can't even get into download...am I boned?

Basically, thats whats going on. I've followed instructions on various threads, tried everything. The phone simply will not boot into recovery no matter what I try. Is there anything left I can do?

Let it sit for a day and try again. It worked for me many times in the past. Sometimes Odin would recognize my phone that wasn't even in a download mode.

Was fastboot enabled? Have you tried pulling the battery before attempting to get into recovery?

try to odin back to stock
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Or try that same method without holding the power button, just the volume rocker (up and down) when plugging into usb that works for some ppl
The vibrant is tough to hard brick so keep trying

Fast boot unable to connect

So i seem to have a strange problem, i downloaded CM 10.1 flashed with the latest GAPPS however upon boot i get "Unfortunantely the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" whenever i click ok i get "unfortunantly , setup wizard has stopped". I am unable to access power the power menu or do anything besides click ok. I can access the files on my Nexus however due to not being able to cold boot into recovery I am stuck. Whenever i use a toolkit and try to reflash to stock it sticks on "waiting on device" anyone have any advice

Rule #1. Don't flash on low battery.

Isn't it just a good idea to have it on the charger while flashing? Or does this have a negative effect?

Can someone make a Cwm installation video. I'm having a rough time installing it to my phone. My previous phones were Galaxy II and III and cwm installation was way easier

press power bottom 10-15 seconds

If TWRP is an option for you you can install it using the GooManager app, install the GooManager app, open it press the menu button go to install openrecoveryscript it'll say this will download and write a recovery image to your device. Press Yes.
It then asks you if you want to install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-find5.img, this is the latest version made by Kamma and Dees_Troy I believe.
This should help you out.

Alright There is an issue with a find 5 that i tried to trouble shoot. The owner of this find 5 is able to boot into fastboot but not into recovery. No matter how many times I tried to flash recovery, it always did but the phone refused to enter recovery. First, it doesnt even start without a power source. whether it be a connection to the computer or power outlet, it needs as a power source, and when it doesn, holding the volume down + power it goes from the oppo screen to a black screen. Anyone have any idea? I even flashed the rom though fastboot (which i didnt know could be done but apparently it can) and it still didnt turn on and still had the same issues

[Q] Bricked S4?

I seem to have bricked my S4.. Here's what I did... I was flashing the KT kernel, and accidentally downloaded the wrong version. After flashing, my phone will do nothing more than sit on a black screen and vibrate every 2 seconds. I used Odin to return to stock, and it completed successfully. It still does nothing more than sit on a black screen and vibrate. Can anyone help? Sorry for the new thread, but I'm desperate. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried using kies?

Pull your battery and wait a few seconds. Reinsert the battery and press the recovery combo (vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner of the screen). If this gets you into stock recovery, wipe data, cache and reboot.

I've been having the same problem and have tried this method numerous times with no results. The phone simply will not boot into recovery, even after restoring to factory using Odin. It's incredibly frustrating. I'm at my wit's end.

Another person had a very similar problem last night. He was able to use kies to get the phone working. Give that a try.
Edit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45207338

It won't go into recovery at all. I'll be trying to restore with kies tonight, and I'll post results. Thanks guys.

So kies didn't go so well. It will not connect to my phone at all. I've tried in download mode, and it just will not connect. Any other ideas?

I had the same exact problem. Someone told me to rewrite the partition table and flash but I don't know what that means and the person who suggested this failed to elucidate. It's crazy that there's no info on this situation ANYWHERE.

I've been digging, and digging, AND DIGGING, and I haven't found a solution other than JTAG and RIFFBOX. I've read good and bad things. Looks like this phone is now a paperweight. Maybe one day there'll be a not-so-ridiculous solution.

Sprint S4 Stuck at Yellow Splash/Bootloop

So I got this S4 shortly after it came out running 4.2. I flashed CM 10.2 shortly afterwards, and ran that until the first milestone of CM11 was released. I switched to that for about 2 months, but decided I wanted to return to stock this evening.
I followed Qbking77's guide on unrooting to MDC, and all seemed well until I got to the restart stage and the phone started hanging at the yellow Sprint logo until switching to a bootloop. I've since tried reflashing the image multiple times and no dice.
I have a nandroid backup from 1-18-14 that I took after installing CM11. At this point I'd take anything functional, CM or stock.

After flashing mdc in odin just turn off the phone. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot. Profit.

Maybe I'm confused but... Isn't that when you hold volume up + power? If I understand what I'm doing, I think I'm only able to get download mode and not recovery.

I see.
So I'm tried those on the phone and I can get download mode, but not recovery mode. It will flash with the text in the top left corner, but then go right back into the boot loop like before.

So... I couldn't get recovery mode to work and I assumed that somehow I had erased it.
I went searching for tutorials on how to restore a stock recovery + rom and found an application that acts as an Odin All In One.
I'm not allowed to link yet, but something tells me that the author Rwilco12 is known around here because it's a pretty helpful piece of work he's done. I used the tool and suddenly I was able to boot into recovery per leaderbuilder's instructions.
The good news is: ITS ALIVE!
Thanks everyone for your help!

If you have an SD card and are stuck at the yellow sprint screen take it out and reboot the phone and it'll boot. After that first boot you shouldn't have a problem anymore

It can be a real pain to get the timing right sometimes.

After holding down the volume up and power you can let go of power and hold the volume down. This will make sure it boots into recovery.
