Think I bricked phone using Android kitchen

---

I restored my phone to stock then made a backup using CMW. I placed the CWM back up in the original_update folder of the android kitchen. Then went into the android kitchen and deodexed, rooted and intalled busy box. Then i built the rom, signed it, placed it on my SD, card booted into recovery, flashed SuperWipe then flashed the rom I made. It installed fine and booted up but i didn't have any signal. So i let it sit for about 5 minutes then Powered off my phone but it stayed at the Good Buy screen for like ten minutes so i pulled the battery, when i tried to boot it back up it wouldn't do any thing. I held the power button down and nothing happened. I tried plugging in a usb cable and my phone still would't do anything Its completely unresponsive
Any suggestions?

I sadly did the same thing. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong in the kitchen to brick my phone. Mine powered up as well but upon restart it bricked. But its sad to say but its bricked. I did a warranty exchange. If you connect the phone to the computer it will register as qhsusb_dload and not an Android phone. Best of luck.

Unfortunately I don't have a contract with T-Mobile so i can't do a warranty exchange. I ordered the USB Jig and i'm gunna see if that fixes it, if not I guess it's just a paper weight :\

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but if its registering as a ghsusb_dload device, a jig won't work.....how do I know you may ask? Cause I tried that as well before the exchange. Haha. Good news is you can pay someone to jtag your device. I think its like 50-100 but way better than 600 for a new phone. You should be able to find the link around the forums somewhere.

The kitchen is not always good. The guy that did visionary would custom make roms for you. You need something like that

Like I told you before, it doesn't work for hard bricks. If it says qhusb, it's done and needs jtag

Ya, my phone won't go into download mode. I'm just gunna have to send it to get J-taged

Send it back to Samsung that's what I did it has 1 year warranty
Try it just call Samsung they don't check if is brick
they just fix it they take like 2 weeks and is free

if sending it back to samsung dont work out for you, let me know. if all else fails, I have a riffbox, we can work something out.
