sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?

Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.

no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.

Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

Guys, don't derail another thread with this pety stuff... The kid needs help and is panicking, and we can't prevent noobs from flashing, so we can 1) tell them the answer (if we know it) our 2) show them how to find it.
Athiest actually did right, assuming he didn't know the answer, he pointed them in the right direction...

At least I gave the OP some good advice. I dont see what this whole "taboo" is about actually speaking bluntly and direct, I wasn't flaming him I was trying to speak rationally and bluntly to the guy. I explained that there is already info on this exact subject and it would be much more beneficial to him if he searched for it, not only would he learn something along the way but he wil find much better info then he would in this topic.
Im not the only person who feels this way, Its just that im one of teh few who makes it known.

If u can get into download it is ok. Try stock rom. May need to do it through hiemdell(i may have misspelled). That's how I had to get mine back.

If it responds to no button combos or to charging, the TAB is hard bricked. I can still fix this with JTAG if needed. Just PM me...

How do I root a Stock N1 FRF91?

Hi Guys
I agree there are TONS of threads on this forum, but somehow, not all of them describe the same steps (or maybe just that I'm a little too confused)
I have a stock unlocked N1 with FRF91 and would like to root my phone
Basically the whole idea behind rooting my N1 is to be able to use ShootMe (screenshot app)
Can someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on how to do it?
I'm actually a n00b at Android, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I don't think there is a way yet with stock.

I'm glad we agree.
I'll give you a hint, though. You need to find two threads to do what you need. Both the threads that you need are in the first page of the dev forum. The mere act of glancing over the titles of the thread won't get you anywhere, try reading some of them for a change.
EDIT-I take it back, there's only one thread you need to find. And considering how prominent a position it's holding in that forum, it's plain obvious that you haven't bothered to look.

The whole point of these forums is to help people out, not to degrade them. They might be new to the site and dont know how its set up. Try not being a jerk and actually help them out. You know like direct them to the thread w/ a link.

Thanks buddy. I'll try to search a little more to see what thread applies for my situation at the moment.
I am sure that erikikaz must've gone through the thread that he/she thinks applies to me, but a link to it would've been a lot easier.

No, I didn't go through the thread before deciding to not link it. I just know that the thread is there. If you had looked for it, you would have seen it. The previously-mentioned thread has been stickied in the previously-mentioned forum for at least a week now. Considering that stickied topics are an obvious READ-ME-FIRST tactic, well, you should have known better and actually looked.
And yes, it would have been a lot easier--a lot easier for you, had I posted the link. Waiting for someone else to do the work for your is not how you learn.

The answer for you is to read the stickies. i recommend you to hang around and read what are in the stickies. this has been ask many-many times because people like you who don't like to read. specially if the answer is near.

Hahaha..not like..but to many post make my mind blurrr on focusing...anyway thanks...will look for it
well... anyway... i know what you mean. blur at some point back then. but its necessary for you to know what you are going to do and what will come next before you mess up your phone. At the end of the day, you'll find out its a simple thing. if you meet any problem. state it here. if i'm around i'll see what i can do. else someone else will provide you some help if they're interested. ^^
you can start with what version of firmware you have and Hboot version from the boot loader. power off your phone than hold vol- and power button. read the green words on top of the screen. this might clear a lot of things
lol.... no wonder your name was so familiar... i was looking for some hack for x10 mini few weeks ago and your name was there.

Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

kinda reminds me of the old xbox has broken heat trick. if it did work i think the life of my fone would be shortened. it seems to have totally died now (guess coz cant charge) so im going to have a my fones stopped working chat. i think im still in the 28 days so hopefully they will just replace it. thanks all for the help
and sorry if seemed fussy - i know its my fault but there has always been some kind of software fix with my old htc's guess i rid on hope lol

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.
I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.

I'm going to have to agree, you need to take a chill pill man.
I'm all about showing people the right way of doing things and correcting mistakes, but there's a decent way of going about it, and a totally uncalled for way... You seem to choose the latter more often than not.
You aren't the forum mod here, if you want to be, apply to be... Otherwise, calm down a second and remember that we where ALL green at one point, and no one is born knowing what you think you know.

I second that. Also there is the effective way of doing things. I simply dont respond to those who post in wrong section and report to mod for move or deletion.

Help! ROM

I have searched and searched! I really want to learn this ROM thing, but I'm stuck!
Ok, I have rooted my Captivate using the One-Click. I have all my drivers installed. I have backed up with Titanium Backup. I downloaded the ROM I want to try. It is in my root folder on my internal sd card. I rebooted using the ROM Manager, and I get failed. I also see no option to reboot and untick the option for developer signature. I see Samsung Recovery Blah Blah Blah.......help. Please.
what is the error message?
do you know how many f$$$in error messages there are?
Just because im a f%%%in genius i know what the error you are having is.
im going to read your mind....
you are on 2.2 right?
with 3e recovery?
and the error is " signature verification"
am i getting warm?
did you try searching
" captivate signature verification "
and find the million threads??
or the sticky at the top of the captivate general area?
you know what? you are right this is too hard,,,
just click the 3e fix link in my sig.
download, extract to desktop and run the .bat file.

If the way he was talking to someone looking for help is to be considered straight forward I see no reason to not consider the way I was talking to an ignorant child as being straight forward.
Again this its the q a section. It's to be expected that people don't know what they are doing here. That includes not really knowing how to use a forum. Just because we are typing doesn't mean we should be talking to people in ways that would probably result in a couple missing teeth in reality.

And how about playing smart and not follow him in what you say is being a ignorant child?
There was many other ways to let him know. You acted just the same as he did.
I'm not saying you're not right about a few things (like the Q&A part) but all you brought here is flaming when the OP was looking for help.
You could've just rephrase Trusselo if you felt it was really needed w/o bringing any kind of insulting/flaming.
Please concider this only as a friendly advice/post. I'm not looking for any kind of flaming and Mods have alot more things to deal with than this

Yes, I could have. And then he would have assumed the way he was talking to someone was perfectly acceptable. But no I did not act the same way he did, only used his own wonderful choice of words to point out how he was acting. Hell the kids even pming at this point. He is exactly what I said he was.
Edit: I do agree the situation could have been handled better on my part.
How bout this: wrongs were made. You're both sorry, shake virtual hands, move on, and try to get along in the future.
