Yup it can be fixed .. just download a stock factory image and flash it via booting into fastboot mode ( hold power button+vol down )... u can also use a toolkit to flash the image ...
p.s. Hit thanks if it helped

HELP!I think I bricked phone

http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=51888
I followed that tutorial and now my phone just wont go to fastboot or anything it just stays at vodafone splash.
I don't know Spanish, but I'll try to help you... Can you post your Fastboot info? Boot into Fastboot mode with power+back and copy the five or so lines at the top of the screen.

Thanks but i am no able to access fastboot after installing spl ,they told me that somehow it can be recovered with pushing power+trackball... I do not know.

To recover it from power+trackball you need a special tool that costs.....(RIFF JTAG).Do you have access to recovery(power+home and wait for 1 minute after vodafone logo) or android?

I do not have access to non of them. it stays on red splash screen that says vodafone. I tried pressing vol down+power. home+power, trackball+power(gives me black screen and blue led). But nothing at all not even on my computer it is recognized.
edit-I made a samsung 1gb goldcard.
I really do not understand well the use of a gold card I only managed to install an update in it via hboot. Then tried installing modified spl and... screwed it.
Damaged SPL maybe..Did you removed the battery or something unusual happened when flashing spl??If not try removing the battery for 1 hour and try again to enter Fastboot mode.If not again i dont know..(i think bricked)

after flashing spl it said reboot phone to complete pressing back and power button i did it and nothing, removed battery and at the moment I removed it, the icon on background appear the one that looks like a box, when you install updates to android. And since then the phone just wont let me enter fastboot or wont load up, I was wondering if there is someway I could enter fastboot.
Thanks for the help.
Phone is screwed, only gets to vodafone splash... no recovery access, no fastboot or anything. Any suggestion?
If phone does not load into any mode - then it is successfully bricked.
P.s. three modes
Recovery: home + power
Fastboot: back + power
Hboot: volumedown + power
P.p.s. search for repair-shop with jtag hardware. They can restore your phone

the picture wont help on what phone model that is...refer to your phone ,remove back cover and check..or check the box...
assuming thats a galaxy s I9000 , go into download mode(you are safe as long as you can get into download mode), flash stock ROM via ODIN or Heimdall....
my model is gt-I9000
according to the back of the phone...
and how to flash stock rom exactly?
He wrote that he can't get into dl mode... and by booting into recovery, he gets the blackscreen of death... that's really strange.

actually he wrote he can get into DL mode, but not recovery....but yes its also strange why he gets that ! when going into recovery...
when you power on by holding volume down+home button+Power button..do you get download mode? the big triangle with the android digging? if yes the you are safe...
to answer your questions: refer to here for guided HOW TO's to flash via odin / heimdall, it also includes guides to get out of that phone-!-computer...
dark_knight35 i can get to download mode...only to recovery i can't
ok good news
i did flash of stock rom into the phone so i have a new recovery that work but the rom is not work and when i do in the recovery mount usb storage i don't see anything in the pc from the phone..
what to do now?
Explain more in detail is vital for getting any help.
Not intended to mock your English but saying "rom is not work" is really diffuse.

[Q] HELP: Phone wont start anymore

Hey Guys,
My Phone is completely stock and i have not installed any firmware but last night my Phone suddenly entered a boot loop which woke me up.
At that moment i just pulled the battery. But this morning my Phone wouldn`t start anymore, it just shows the logo
What i tried:
Boot into recovery: No go, it just displays the blue text booting into recovery
Normaal boot: No go, just shows the samsung logo.
Tried emergengy recovery via samsung kies tool: It ends succesfully with the same result, no boot
What else can i try without voiding warranty?
I want to try anything i can before sending it back to the store because that will take a few weeks before i have a phone again

Okay your phone is fine...boot into download mode by pressing volume up while phone is off. Then inserting a usb cable.
In download mode it will show you something like BXXX....after the 5 blue dots. If it is download mode you flash your firmware and start afresh coz thats what i did when the same happened.
Tell me if u are in download mode.
