[Q] Did I brick my phone?

---

I have just tried to root my phone..

I have followed the instruction that says..

• Once you have the drivers installed on your computer, unzip the oneclickroot and oneclickrootuninstaller .
• Then, on your phone open Settings, go to Applications, then Development and click on USB Debugging (note: your USB cable should not be connected yet).
• Connect your USB cable to the computer and the phone.
• Then go to the directory you installed the oneclickroot to and double-click the run.bat file there. Follow the prompts on the screen.
• Your phone will be rebooted for you when the process is complete.
• Now turn off the phone. When the phone has finished shutting down, hold the volume down button, the camera button, and the power button all at the same time until you boot into recovery.
• If the screen says Clockworkmod Recovery at the top, then everything worked fine, and you can reboot the phone by clicking the first option

and I did reboot my phone..but the screen keep showing "samsungmobile" and not proceed..

what should I do?

If you followed those instructions, then it would have worked. You did something wrong. Take the battery out for 30 seconds, put it back in, and try to start the phone...don't try to get into recovery, just try to boot. Assuming you can get it back up and running, try the one-click again.

I had the same issue.. in order to fix it I needed to ODIN the phone back to D18 or the Froyo leak.

last night (here in my place) I took the battery, put it back, and start the phone by three finger grip. I tried to boogt...failed. I did it again to get into recovery..failed again..

still workin on it..

If it won't boot or go into recovery then try to get it into download mode take out the battery and then put it back in and hold 1 on the keyboard and hit power. If you can get into download mode you can then use Odin to flash a stock rom. and a brick s when your phone won't turn on at all so it's nit bricked. I'm positive you can get into download mode. That is prolly your only option.

I have tried to do the one click root several times. I watched Randy's video and followed it to the letter at the same time. It was like we were sinked. Finished at the same time the video did. When I reboot it sticks on the Samsung and the only way out is to take the battery out. I have no problem restoring the phone with odin. I have 2.2.1 froyo leak and it loads fine. Could this problem be with the new phones? I just purchase this phone about 1 week ago. There are others who are having the same problems. I have tried several different ideas and to no success yet. I can get into the one click by pressing the right keys, but when I reboot still the same problem.
Thanks in advance if you can help

I have read it somewhere that Samsung USB cable that came w/ the phone is a PoS. Granted I never had a cable that gone bad right out of the box , but I had cable that cause intermittent problem before. If you have another USB cable other than the one that came w/ the phone, maybe you should give that a try.

When I do the root it says that all has passed and loaded all files with no mistakes or faults and all the other connections work fine. I can format the sd card then put it back because I have saved all the data to my computer. I will give it a try
Thanks for the reply

Well I found an unorthodox way to fix the problem of the one click root. After downloading the one click root I installed from the zip folder VIPERrom_[Apocalypse]_EXT4-RFS_Dual_DK28_4.0.2c before I did the reboot. When I did that the phone worked fine and now I have viporrom
