Am i bricked...

---

While I was flashing a ROM (Synergy1.3), my wife decided to move my phone to another table. When i looked at it a few minutes later,the screen was blank. Now it wont turn on at all. I had used that particular ROM before without any problems. My battery was at 90% when i started to flash. I have a terrible feeling i am bricked. Any ideas?

yes,also tried charging it from wall charger ans USB. I get this error when plugging into USB (QHSUSB_DLOAD)

It's hard to brick a phone. Worst case, boot into download mode and Odin up the stock image.

If you can't access Download mode, you've most likely bricked as any research I've done points to it. If you've got insurance you can pay the premium, or send it to one of the JTAG services for repair (such as MobileTechVideos).

Just don't leave or touch the phone next time when you're flashing!

With my case it's hard to hit the buttons for recovery and download. I created across to get to them. Not what you're wanting to here. But here's a tip: if you can get adb to recognize your phone but can't use buttons to get into download mode you can "adb shell" and then "reboot download". That will cause the phone to boot download/Odin mode. Hopefully that will work and you can flash back to stock.

The phone will not power up in any way at all. I am in the 5th stage of the grieving process. Back to my Tbolt and hope Samsung honors the warranty.

They won't honor it with a rooted phone or flash count pass 0

If you cant get to download mode or get adb to recognize when properly set up you do probably have a brick. What's happening to you with the warning happened to my friend on Sprint while accidentally flashing a ROM for a different phone. What he had to do was send it in to MobileTechVideos and got it repaired for around 60$. Samsung/Verizon wont likely fix them under warranty.

My only question is if you indeed were flashing synergy, how did a system ROM brick a device. o_0 And hell even if it was another phones ROM wouldn't our locked bootloader deny overwriting?

I also accidentally flashed a rom for a different phone and am considering sending it to MobileTechVideos. Your friend had good success with them fixing his phone?
