I own a Samsung Galaxy Pocket (GT-S5300B) and, last week, I mistakenly erased a partition issuing the command:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /dev/zero
(It was either that or /proc/mmcblk0p1, I can't remember o.O)
Now, my phone is dead. It doesn't turn on at all, in either download, recovery or any other mode (PS: It has no fastboot mode, as it appears - it's a cheaper Samsung smartphone). I've tried using a "USB Jig", kind of outta nowhere, just to see what happened, but it remains dead :/ If I plug it to a power source, either usb data cable or the charger, it does get warm, like the battery was charging, but it won't turn on by clicking the turn on/off button, no way... :S
Does anybody know how to fix such thing? I run Linux Mint 13 (but it's the same in other Linux distros or Windows) and lsusb will return:

No Samsung ..., like there was before, or anything at all =/ The webcam, logitech and the ms transceiver are connected to my comp, so neither one of those is the phone hehe.
I have this on /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules:
# Samsung
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”, SYSFS{idVendor}==”04e8″, MODE=”0666″
Does anybody know if cracking the phone open will be any good to do anything? I don't have a RIFF Box or that kind of stuff, but I really don't want to send it to Samsung repair service unecessarily...
Thanks for you time already! If anyone has an idea, I'm most ready listening!
