[Q] Phone won't turn on after repartitioning - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Using Odin, I accidentally repartitioned my phone and didn't flash anything else besides the PIT file. What do I do? My phone doesn't turn on when plugged into the computer or the wall outlet. Is there anything I can do?

My phone is pretty much done, isn't it?

What the hell.... Anyways.... Pit always repartitions your phone. Did you flash anything after that? Details are lacking.

You can't get back into download mode to reflash?

No, because I wasn't able to use the phone at all after. The phone is dead. It won't do anything. There is no sign of life. I repartitioned it with a pit file and hit start. After that, the phone wouldn't work at all.

Because.... you need to follow steps and read.
You need to start over.... Odin the pit... then follow the steps and odin the rom you want to flash. Your phone isn't gone... yet.

But will this work even though Odin can't see my phone, since my phone acts as if there's no battery? It doesn't function at all. So when I plug it in, nothing happens and Odin never sees my phone.

Actually, my phone is responding all of a sudden, so now I'm flashing my phone with Odin.

Why is Odin stuck at this part of the flash?

You have to redo it... Sometimes it doesn't completely flash the first time.

Or try a different odin package.

or reboot computer, or try different usb port, or try different cable.

What did you do? I have the same problem. It didnt response at all.

you could also try something totally different and try heimdall with a different usb port, if that doesn't work then I'm definitely not sure what else you could try.
did you leave your battery in when you went into download mode to flash the stock rom? if you did, take the battery out, hook up the cable to a usb port hold down the - volume button along with the power button and it should boot into download mode

Problem w/ ODIN, pls help!

Hi all... I downloaded the link provided here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799105) because I have rooted my phone and am in the process of upgrading it to the 2.2 froyo. However, when following s15274n's post and watching his video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMSF-SumO3k) it seems like when you boot up your phone into download mode, it should show up in ODIN in the id:com section. I was following his video to a T but my phone is not showing up there whatsoever.... so what do I do and how do I fix this?
Install drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
i just did that but it downloads "DriverBoost" and you have to pay and register it so it will update all your driver's for you.... is this what I have to do?

just install kies, and it will include the drivers.
kies is free.
I think there is a vibrant kies mini version, but I use the following european full kies.

ok, i rebooted my computer... now it does appear that Odin is recognizing my phone! but just to make sure, in Odin one of the "id:com" ports is highlighted yellow and says "0:[COM3]", is this correct?

yes that is fine, the number doesn't matter.
watch this video

btw, not sure what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to update to 2.2, why don't you just use rom manager and clockwork recovery to flash a rom.
Axura 2.0.5 and the Stock Froyo JK6 that sombionix uploaded is fantastic.
Not sure what you are really trying to do.
Its always better to Odin black top stock so you don't keep ghost from other rom

[Q] I beseech thee, help me diagnose my YP-G70!

I've been searching XDA and Google for months now and I haven't found anyone else with this precise issue. I'm very tech savvy, but this is just beyond me! What say you? Will you help me in my quest to diagnose my device and possibly find a cure?
Listed below is what occurs when the USB Cable is connected, either via PC or the Wall.
While USB Cable is disconnected:
Pressing or holding any of the buttons, together or individually, does absolutely nothing. (But the battery can't be dead. I've had the thing on charge all night!)
When USB Cable is connected:
http://youtu.be/J8FJSo_S7cQ
Without pressing anything, the device powers on into download mode and continues to reboot itself every few minutes.
Holding the power button (or all buttons together) reboots it back into download mode to repeat what I just described above.
Pressing any/all buttons at this point does nothing.
When I disconnect the USB Cable from the device while in Download Mode, the device shuts off after about 20 seconds.
I have seen this on occasion, but nothing different happens:
(I'm aware this means forced download mode.)

I'm able to use Odin completely normally and flash anything successfully as well. Yet it just reboots back into download mode. And if I leave it alone while connected to my PC with Odin up, this is what it looks like:
I've "successfully" installed Stock ROM, Kernel and PIT files. Nothing changes! I've also tried one-click unsoftbricker, heimdal, calling it names, begging it to work. Am I crazy or...is this thing done for?
Have you tried repartitioning it?
By clicking that check box in Odin? Yes.
Ah, you must've hardbricked your Galaxy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360 < See if anything in that topic helps you.
You need to flash a ROM that has boot loaders in it...
When you use the unbrickable resurector, it flashes a boot loader that always boots to download mode. From download mode, you can flash a FULL rom, that will replace the boot loader. Then it will boot normally.

That would make sense but which ROMs would those be?
This is a Russian ROM but it should have boot loaders.

Let me know how it goes...
Downloading now. I'll have to try it tomorrow on spare time. Really hoping this works. Thanks for giving me some hope, I really thought this thing was done for!
It's not hard bricked... that ROM will restore it. But after you flash that rom , you'll need to flash a different Rom for your region...

I never even heard of a "Full" ROM before. The problem I was having was apparently my bootloader - or lack-there-of.
You saved my Galaxy Player's life! Thank you very much!
I'm happy to say that this case is closed!
I am going to favorite this thread. You never know when you'll need some good info like this.
Ironically, my GP just managed to softbrick -_- I may be f'd.
Edit: Thankfully, I managed to fix it. Whew!

If you can't boot it into recovery, it's pretty much bricked. Look around for people offering to JTAG it to recover.
Before I consider helping you, why on earth would you attempt flashing this? Why not instead flash a 4.3 rom? I have to know you were intentionally trying to lock your bootloader before I try to help....it just feels so wrong giving instructions for locking a bootloader

I bet it would still get into download mode since aboot wasnt flashed, well I guess it depends on whether or not the phone even attempts to boot or not though. I've gotten my S4 out of qhusb by keep the charger plugged in and constantly removing and inserting the battery.

Very likely. It's pretty hard to brick this phone into a state where it can't be recovered.
However, I've seen people do amazing things like flashing GS3 ROMs and wondering why they didn't work. Or less crazy, flashing AT&T ROMs on a VZ phone. People that stupid are why Verizon is so anal about locking down their phones.
I was just trying to update it to 4.3 since OTA didnt work I taught this was stock odin flashable image...

Stock mean locked boot loader!!
What USB cable did you use and what port on the computer? While it's a bit of a stupid question I had a problem like that when doing an ODIN restore and tried all kinds of fixes including a totally different computer and it turns out the USB cable I was using was crap even though it'd transfer files over fine, ODIN didn't like it.
If you can't get it out of QHUSB DLOAD with button pressing, you can try this tool http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable.

It was COM3 port, and it was OEM samsung usb cable...
I Tried everything i can but there is no way to get into download/recovery mod...
I had a similar problem the other day, don't worry. Depending on whatever build you were on before you bricked it, download that baseband and odin it on there. It did wonders for me and should work for you.
Solved... The device was hardbricked.... JTAG did the trick, cost me about 35$

I had a s3 which had emmc problems, not too sure but as long as you have product name and access to recovery and download mode you can try and flash the firmware again using odin. I am not sure as mine had no recovery mode at all.... somone with more knowledge may wish to clear things up for both of us. You can find some guide on how to flash to stock and flash stock firmware.

Hi Everybody,
I was trying to install a new version of cyanogenmod that held kitkat, worked, but heres the problem. After installing the new rom i wanted to put a different kernel. This specific kernel I wanted was not compatible with kitkat, but i wasn't reading, so when it was booting up it was stuck at the Galaxy S Cyanogenmod booting screen. I turned it off and put the device in cwm recovery. I was going to put the right kernel for the device but the SD wound't mount. I looked for a solution, which led me to odin. When I started flashing the status was frozen at nand start write. So I stupidly unplugged it, so now I am greeted with a Phone+!+PC please help me!

Without seeing a picture of the screen, I'm going to have to assume the screen is a blue color with a picture of a computer on it.
If so, that's not a problem at all. That screen is basically the same thing as ODIN/Download mode.
With your device on that screen simply replug in your USB cable and reflash with ODIN.
If you could provide a picture of the screen, I could definitely say for sure that your device is good to go, or not.

If you're talking about this above, then do as Higgs_Boson said above. This is just a force download mode, and happens when you improperly flash something.
