[Q] Completely Dead :( !! Wont power-on!

---

I tried to root my phone using universal-androot and it was successful. After that i flashed clockworkmod recovery. And i thought of making a back-up of my current stock-ROM and there it was... my phone suddenly got blacked-out. Now i cant even turn-on my phone. I tried all the different possibilities like holding 'vol down+home+power', 'vol up+vol down+power', dint work .!! help me please

I was told that you can't backup stock roms using clockworkmod.

Can you turn the phone on in any mode? normal/download/anything else?

Nop !! can't do anything. Tried all the patterns.

did the phone do anything before it turned off? or did it just go blank?

Also, can you remember what clockworkmod was saying before it went blank? e.g. what processes it was undergoing?

I think the problem is with clockworkmod recovery. Coz while trying to flash the recovery, I was asked to select the phone model, but 'samsung galaxy 5' was not in the list, So i selected 'Huawei model' or something in order complete the installation! but still the installation was successful. And when i clicked 'Backup my current ROM' the phone suddenly got switched-off.

Were you trying to install the recovery from rom manager?

You need to install it via odin for the Galaxy 5.

Your phone probably needs a time+materials trip to the service centre.

Yeah, flashing that can't have done your phone any good Rom manager doesnt (yet) support our phone

have you tried firmware download mode?

remove your battery, put it back on
now press volume down, central select button and power.
keep holding till a yellow sign appears with android and a broom
now go to odin and flash CWM recovery or other rom.

It appears to me he did.

I had the same problem.

I removed the battery for 30 minutes, and removed the SIM. SIM removal was necessary.

Remove the SD Card too; it might help.
