Samsung Ativ S bricked! How to flash it?

[Brandonm222]

Hi my mom has a Samsung Ativ S T899M and when it was doing the update she took out the battery and now when I turn it on it goes to the gears and then gets stuck on the sad face. I was reading online that you have to flash the rom into it. But i cant seem to find the T899M one. Only the I8750 and when I try putting that one in it fails. Can someone please help me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

That thread will not help as it is for the i8750.

Your best bet would be to take it to a service center or your Telco for repair

Hello Brandon,

If the phone doesn't respond to anything else, you may have to restore it to default factory settings.

i tried that and it did nothing. I am out of warranty on my phone and as well for educational purposes i want to see if i can flash it myself. But i cant seem to find the proper roms to flash it. Does anyone have any idea?

Have a look over on XDAdevelopers a guy that goes by the Nic "wolf" something may be your best bet for assistance

I would like to flash TM899 by I8750 ROM. You said it failed when you tried flashing TM899 by I8750 ROM. Right?

Did you get anything to flash TM899? Is your phone recovered?
