Root [Q] Stuck on either white AT&T screen or grey, frozen battery screen, no USB

[BEARFIST]

While flashing back to stock using Odin, something happened after the install and my phone ended up rebooting, and I have not been able to turn it on since.

-When attempting to power on normally, phone shows white AT&T screen and hangs there

-When attaching USB, phone shows battery screen but battery is all grey and rotating progress icon is frozen. Does not appear to be charging.

-Computer does not recognize phone in any state. Latest USB drivers are installed and I have had no issues connecting via USB previously.

-Cannot get into download or recovery mode using any volume/power button combination or through adb. Also tried attaching USB with ODIN running while attempting button combinations, inserting/removing battery etc, still nothing.

- I have tried removing battery, plugging in usb, hold down up/down/power, plug battery in, let go of power, and it still goes into a stuck grey battery charging screen.

Has anyone else experienced this? Anything else I should try?

Sounds like you need to buy a "jig" to get to Download mode. You can Google them and make yourself or buy them for $8-$12. They are nice to have around.

I broke the piggy bank and spent 99 cents (plus tax) at Radio Shack a few months ago. Haven't had the need to use it yet but, as RonH54 wrote, it's one of those "nice to have around" thingies.

built the jig. Never in my life have i built something I am totally unfamiliar with and fix something. Felt. effing. Awesome. My phone is running on serendipity 6.4 flawlessly now. Good to be back with my phone <3
