What the title says.

I flashed the phone for 2.3, it ran nicely, i figured i'd install Cyanogen, now the boot screen seems to freeze. The bootscreen is a very simple white text on a black background. The text says 'Android' in small pixelated letters and is positioned at the right of the screen.

I can access download mode and recovery mode, but not actually start the phone up. So what should i do now? :thinking:
 
[DEV] [Samsung GT-S5570] [ROM & Kernel Develompent] [Andro-ID] - xda-developers

I think it's completely bricked now. Can't enter recovery... I only get a strange image on my screen. There is a symbol of a phone, connected to a PC. In the middle of them both is an alert sign. :(

So what can i advice you..
1. go to samsung sevice centre..
2. claim warranty
3. if their ask question, just say " im charge my phone battery overnite and when i want use it on morning my phone got off it self, and i cant switch on again", this method worked with my friend...

Just wait a sec... You can easily fix that by yourself.... Just go into download mode and reflash gb there is a tutorial here : http://androidforums.com/galaxy-min...rom-galaxy-mini-questions-tutorials-here.html . The third post from the top in the first page :) Hope this helps. Btw that sign means that you device is bricked "Software Brick" . That you can probably fix by yourself. Hardware brick is when your device is busted and there is nothing that you can do. Only to give it to samsung guys :) . So the solution for you is just to refalsh the firmware :)
