[Q] help with bricked demo phone

---

Hey guys im just looking to get pointed in the right direction, i never like asking for handouts but im butfuzzled,

this is what happened, some kid messed up the settings on the phone so i needed to return it to stock. i tried to do a master reset through the settings but it just stayed at the download screen for about 30 min so i decided to hold the power button down and do a hard restart, the phone comes back on and i go through and put the phone back to stock manually, remove all sorts of widgets, bla bla bla.

the phone was good for about a week and half then all of a sudden it just went dead, no lights come on when i charge it, no battery indicator on the screen, its not recognized by usb, it does not charge by usb, it wont go into download mode holding the three buttons down.


things ive done so far, search for about an hour and i still cant figure this out
ive tried doing battery pulls, ive tried downloading kies and odin as well. Ive followed the how to get the phone working with odin but nothing the phone still has a black screen, no lights come on, no nothing.

what is going on with this thing? can someone please help me cause this thing is jacked up and my boss is going to make me pay for it if its broken

Sounds like you are having the same problem I have with my Galaxy S II. Did you or anyone else install any custom roms on the device? If so there are many known issues with this happening and NO solutions as of this far. Try getting a battery that is fully charged and see if the phone will come one with that, if it will then you are not completely stuck but there still is no way to fix it without getting a USB JIG from ebay/amazon etc. to try and get into download mode and restore the stock rom through Odin. hope this helps

Agree with the above post, but the Samsung USB jigs are very inexpensive on eBay, only a few dollars shipped. I have one, and it saved my formerly bricked (no download mode and unresponsive) Galaxy S 4G.
