Is my Spica bricked ??? pls help me out :(

---

Hi community, this is the first time i start a thread here over XDA Dev coz i'm really in trouble, i tried to change bootlogo for my spica through recovery (rooted and using spicagendmod beta 2) but the phone turned off, since then, never turn on, if i plug the usb charger in, it will charge till 100% but nothing more! lost even recovery/download modes. when i try to turn it normally it's just like "dead". i think i bricked it right ???? here in algeria where i live, there's no samsung representation.... i'm lost.. dunno what to do..... i fuc*ked up things this time i guess ...!!!

try to re-flash ure baseband ... that's work !

thank's dude for your reply but... i can't even go on download mode.... the phone is just chargin while off or "dead" when i try to turn it on, whatever is on recovery, download or just a normal boot, everything remains off and the screen black, the phone is nolonger detectable by my laptop, tried in XP, vista and Win7! ithink this time... it's GAME OVER!

I seem to remember the bootlogo being the only way of bricking the Spica ... :(

Maybe try over at samdroid.net? That's where the Spica community hangs out, mostly.

If you flashed too big bootlogo (biggest tested was 182 kB) there is no way to recover the phone by yourself yet- we are waiting to test a possible solution but samdroid member with the same problem is offline for some time (work related)

thank's mate, YES i flashed a big bootlogo(192ko) and what you said is the same as what i read on a forum, i forget where exactly. hope this member will be online soon cheers

One way. In the service center.

My Gio has the same problem now.
It can only go into download/dload/ramdump mode and can't startup normally nor recovery.
I tried to use odin with "pda format" checked but the odin always crash.
I tried many versions of odin4.xx, all crashed.
Could anyone tell me which version will run without crash?

Thanks,
William
