From bricked to fixed.

---

I was caught in a boot loop and tried to re flash, when in my haste I forgot that Odin will recheck partition when loading .Pit files (pretty lame feature)

Still it was my fault for clicking start in haste.

**phone was partitioned, and would not go into download mode, it was stuck in a screen that said "Firmware update error, please restore in Kies", but it wouldn't connect to kies**



I sent my phone to XDA member Connexion2005

I haven't got it in my hands yet, but he just told me it was fixed, I can't wait to get it back and leave it the hell alone (until someone makes CM7 or better work on it)

anyhow, this is out there so if you do what I did (DON'T) there's a solution. Set me back $50 plus shipping to TX from NYC but still, I didn't have to get a whole new phone.

for 50 bucks im sure k0nane would have made an uberfixit tar :/

Please elaborate. Not finding much info on this "uberfixit", but it sounds like it's some method of re-creating the stock filesystem that's flashable in odin?

I was putting this out there, because I'm not the only one that this will happen to.

yea it happens when you repartition, an uberfixit requires a complete dump of the phone and quite a bit of time, but will completely fix what you described

the problem with repartitioning is that it wipes the phone clean and then starts to reinstall everything, problem is neither one of teh tars has the full dump (we do it for the sake of saving actual bricks)

knowing someone who can jtag is great we have had a few epic 4g touches that crashed and burned and were saved via jtag.

You may not remember, but I did go onto your IRC and spoke with you regarding this issue.

oh sorry, the irc channel we have is for a bunch of devices currently we house blaze 4g, attain 4g, conenct 4g, lucid and optimus m+ owners. so i probably thought you were an attain owner since we have had a good number of attain owners repartition as well :/

it's all good, bottom line is I f'd up my device, but now its fixed.

um...yeah...

So i did the exact same thing as you... Been trying to find anyone who can help me out. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I haven't found a single place in my whole state that can fix the problem. If at all possible, I'd like to avoid sending it out for repair.
