SPH-L900 Bricked

**gtat94** · 02-10-2013, 05:11 PM

I think I bricked my phone. I'm hoping I just missed something. It started with the phone not charging or connecting with my PC. I tried multiple cords and re-installed the drivers. Then it would charge for a few days and then the problem came back. To shorten the story I believe when I trying to reset the phone I hit "format system". Now I can't get past the boot screen. I found a lot of guidance for installing ROMs but it all involves plugging my phone into the computer (still can't get the phone to be recognized). Is there a .zip file i can use from the external SD that will put me back at factory condition?

Can you at least get into recovery mode? and do you have a custom recovery?

If he didn't make a nan droid. He is screwed. If he formated the system he basically has a blank slate

download the recovery image/zip and save it on your extSD card. Boot to recovery and use the downloaded file.
Here is a link from XDA. There is a ton of info for bricked phones there.\
