[Q] Am i bricked?

[tvirus7]

I bought galaxy fit just a week ago and rooted it 4 days ago. It worked fine after rooting.
Today, i was trying to install an update.zip with DSP manager and i got this message
"finding the package ....bla bla bla
installation started
installation aborted"

I thought i failed and selected to reboot the device. Now my phone is stuck at a screen with "SAMSUNG" written on it and vibrates every now and then.

** i see the boot animation
** I can enter the debug (or whatever) mode. Where we can update from an update.zip and reset

So my question is "AM i bricked??? How do i recover?

Boot in Recovery " Home + Power Key "
Select "Wipe Data" or something like that in recovery and then reboot.

Is it possible to recover without wiping the data? I don't want to loose my customizations and apps on phone

I don't think so....
There is no way around this....

OMG!!!! i doesn't work!!

wipe data/factory reset -
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting CACHE:...
unmount (/cache) attempt 1
(unknown error: 0) rc=0
Data wipe complete

wipe cache partition -
Formatting CACHE:...
unmount (/cache) attempt 1
(unknown error: 0) rc=0
Cache wipe complete


When rebooted, it again stuck on the screen with "SAMSUNG" written on it. Does that mean i killed my phone?

naa
Flash cwm through odin , do backup through it, then flash a new firmware..
Flash cwm again and restore everything other than system through advanced restore.
That's what I would have done.

Can you give CWM zip?? the only method i found is through ROM manager.

I havent tried out the zip method(if there is any)..Download cwm from above link and use odin to flash it in download mode(power+center+down volume button)

Do not use ROM MANAGER. You will brick your phone for real

Its not totally bricked. anyway flash clockworkmod and then flash another rom but first make sure you made a backup of your ROM through the Clockwork Mod so you can revert back to that rom from before and then flash a new rom and it should boot up.

like what the above poster said ^

Not bricked

Same thing happened to me last week

i installed creed's rom v1.0 via odin.
Cleared user data and wiped cache .
And it rebooted perfectly.

No you haven't bricked your phone dude....the same thing happened to me and all what I did was I reflashed CWM and then installed CM 7.1...and my phone was back to normal....
