Hi all,
I hope somebody will reply immediately. I wanted to upgrade my Gf's phone to a new firmware update.
The upgrade process got stuck at 22% while downloading and the power went off.... KIES said that i should run emergency recovery....
Now when i turn on the phone i get a sign of a mobile phone connected to a PC with an exclamation mark.
What can i do ? my questions are the following..
1 is there a way to unbrick and how?
2 i had backed up all the contacts and information ? are they saved because i do not want my gf to lose all her photos and information?
Guys help.. nobody can save me from the woman's wrath.
Remove battery for a minute. Put battery back in. Put device in download mode. Use Odin to flash firmware.
Use search function to find out how to do anything you don't understand above.
here is the pic i get
a mobile phone a triangle/exclamation point and a PC!

Did you bother to read and do anything from the post above?
i did... it cannot get into download mode..
What did you do when you try to get into download mode?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
OK i got into download mode and through KIES i am now in EMERGENCY RECOVERY...
the problem that it is stuck at 16% for over 5 minutes now. is that normal?
shall i use KIES or ODIN to flash the normal firmware?
also where i can find my gfs data that i backed up in my PC?
Look at the settings in Kies where you backed up the data to.
Is the blue bar on the phone moving? I don't use Kies to flash my device because I don't trust it.
Ok, it seems as if you want to do things your way so good luck with Kies.

Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?
Hey guys,
I'd a Galaxy s3 before changing to an M8 this year, the s3 was rooted and had Lightening Rom (I think) when I changed phone I gave the s3 to my sister and about 2-3 weeks later she complained that it wouldn't turn on, I fixed this by using Odin but the IMEI changed to the generic 0049, now I know there's a million threads about that but that's not the problem, I never reset the binary or anything on the phone but when I gave it back to her it would turn on just no signal, she decided to hand the phone into a "professional", I don't know what the guy did hence why I'm posting but is this bricked? It will go into download mode and can be recognised but cannot receive anything.
TL;DR - Phone had IMEI problem (0049) was sent to repair place and came back with this on the screen it will go into download mode and can be recognised but cannot receive anything

I would take it back. When you say it can not receive anything you mean Odin fails?
Can you get into recovery?
Hello there!
So I sold my S3 Mini and the buyer asked me to fix his phone. The first problem was that it was stuck in a bootloop and the EFS couldnt be mounted. I got that working and it now boots up normally. Now the problem is that I cant connect to my wifi and it says no service on my cellular. It detects my sim because when I booted it up it asked for the sim lock password.
Another problem is that my Windows wont detect the phone. But it's charging normally. It detected my previous S3 Mini before with no problem. I've even flashed CM11 on it then flash the stock firmware without any problems.
To clarify here are my problems :
1. Cant connect to wifi
2. No service
3. Windows wont detect the phone
The main reason I want it to detect to my phone is to use Odin to flash the stock firmware again. I've tried Mobile Odin but it kept saying to download and install the addons when I've already installed them. Mobile Odin v4.2 if you're wondering. I've also installed the drivers for everything and it wont detect. Thanks for your help.
Sounds like efs is corrupt, try another usb lead to connect to pc, shorter is better.

Any way to fix it? I got the wifi to work by flashing the stock firmware with Mobile Odin. My IMEI is also not correct.
Restore your efs backup.

I have install the samsung driver and i also tried kies but but without results, odin don't detects the phone.

Hey guys.....

but, when I enter in Odin mode, the screen is ok
So, I assumed there is no hardware issue in this mobile.... so, i thought it could be just a ROM error or something alike.... so, I downloaded KIES and Odin ((3.07, 3.09 and 3.10)).... I started on Odin.... I tried to flash the stock ROM on it, but I went to the error missing PIT partition.... after I read what is a PIT partition, I downloaded only the PIT file and tried to flash it alone and together with the MD5 ROM file..... So, NO.... nothing worked....
So, I went into the KIES and tried to used the all 3 options on Tools Menu .... the first one, doesn't work ((or I don't know what to do...))... the second one works.... asks for the serial number and start the progress bar and everything. But, when it reaches 70% just stops and says there is an error
.. and the third one doesn't help... at all....
So guys this is it what I already done so far in here and this is what I know what it could be done.... any thoughts or ideas to help me here?
I'm using a windows 8.1 x64....
Thanks very much for any help and assistance here =D
I'm reading something about MSKIP Toolkit and Heimdal.... any of these works in my case?
I'm reading this thread too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367 - but my phone does not reboot.... so, i'm stuck on step 3....
and in here - https://www.androidpit.de/forum/545386/there-is-no-pit-partition-and-re-partition-operation-failed - these guys are facing the same issue as mine....
So, no further ideas to do.... any in your side?
Cheers =D
any thoughts or ideas guys??
any ideas at all guys?
