Hard Bricked my Samsung Galaxy Fascinate t959D

[chaddupuis]

I accidentally flashed the stock GB bootloader using Odin with the auto-reboot option selected. Now the phone will not power on and cannot be put into Download mode. I have tried volume down and plugging in the USB cable to no avail. When i plug the device into a PC, there is a sound like a USB device is plugged in but within 5 seconds the USB disconect sound is heard.

Anything I can do?

Have you tried a USB Jig?

I haven't tried a jig yet but based on everything I have read, because the bootloader is corrupt, the Jig won't help. Might need JTAG repair but for the time and cost there I might as well grab a prepaid telus device for $150...Fascinate or Sony Xperia Ray are the choices...

Any other tricks or suggestions are appreciated though.

Wait, you were on ICS and flashed a GB bootloader?

no, but i was in the process of going there before I soft bricked the phone. Then flashed that trying to get back to stock.
