Hi im new with galaxy s 5.0 . And today i tried to root it with odin and i made a mistake and now my galaxy s 5.0 wont boot. What should i do now ?
Please help me ! Thanks !
Use "samfirmware" to flash your device with the stock firmware.
I cant even turn on my phone or go to download mode or recovery. Its totally dead. And there is just when i connect galaxy to pc it says installing some driver ! and at the end it wont install . i need to send my galaxy to samsung to fix it or there is solution i can make on my own ? please help !
Does it show anything on your screen at all when you hold down the power button?
Any icons at all?
Perhaps a picture of a Cellphone and a desktop PC with an X in the middle of it?
Also post your exact model number of your device. It should be located underneath your battery.
Thanks for help !
No i dont have any icons. And now i saw i must UnBrick it. So i installed ubuntu on my pc and i UnBricked my Galaxy s 5.0 and now it is in download mode. But Galaxy 5.0 must stay connected all time to stay in download mode. And i saw i must do something with Heimdall and i really dont know how to use it. I dont know how to use .deb file on ubuntu.
So i think i just need to flash it with Heimdall because there is no Odin for linux. But nobody wants to help me.
i have Galaxy s 5.0 YP-G70CB
I believe that hemidall is also made for windows. I have never used hemidall though. Only Odin. I think the next step is to find the correct firmware for your device. I see lots of YP-G70 firmwares, but I noticed your model is YP-G70CB. I don't know what the CB stands for I'm afraid.
Also with your model number, is that the full model number shown behind the battery? Is there something like YP-G70CB/XEH or something after the forward slash. Or does it just say YP-G70CB and thats it? I am trying to see if I can find the right firmware for you, if it exists.
Behind the battery are just that numbers. U can find me a firmware but i cant install it. Beacuse my Galaxy 5.0 now is in download mode and im on linux and i must run Heimdall to flash it with a some frimware. But i am having troubles to installing Heimdall Frontend. So i just can watch my galaxy and do nothing
If you can get the Player into download mode now it should work with Odin.
In fact, at the moment Heimdall won't work (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511624)
You just need the right firmware files and then you should be able to flash it with Odin.
I'm guessing you have the international version and not the USA version of the device, if so you probably want to download one of the firmwares in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444636
Yeah i have the Galaxy in the download mode but how u dont understand. I UnBricked my Galaxy on Ubuntu (linux) and now i must to flash it but i cant do it with Odin because Odin is not for linux. But i have Ubuntu and Win 7 on my pc. I restarted my pc and i went to Win 7 and i was opening Odin but odin didnt recognize my galaxy and dont know why but it was in download mode. And if i disconnect usb cable download mode turns off and i cant turn it on again because i must use program from Ubuntu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434.
I have problem with this -------> S5PC110. And its black screen on my galaxy always... So i can only turn it on with UnBrick program from Ubuntu and then. I thnik there are 2 or 3 more steps that i cant do !
Im trying this whole day and nothing..
relax man,i had the same problem as you do and i fixed it and now my device is working just fine.there is a guide in XDA forum (link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360)
just do what the guide said and everything is gonna be alright.
for any questions you can ask me because i got myself into hard brick too.
but just for you to know it might take you couple of days.
it took me 6 days to understand and to succeed to run programs on linux (with people that know linux well).
but i will try to help you as much as i could
Thanks man.
I will try this tomorrow i cant do it anymore. I am trying this all day. But thanks very much for this. I think this gonna work ! Just tell me something i think that first step isnt that hard but how 6 days?? lol i cant imagine 6 days without galaxy i think i will do that all day tomorrow. Just to make it work ! I will send u a message if i need something. and i will tell u when im done ! Thanks !

your welcome actually it took me 6 days to figure out how to make virtual box recognize my player.i tried a lot of things but it didnt recognize it.
if you know linux well it should not be a problem for you at all.
i am completely noob with linux so this is why it took me 6 days.
all the other things are easy
It seems im not good for linux! there is a problem now. i installed ubuntu on my pc and i installed win 7 on virtual box. and problem virtual box wont find my player. And what did u do ?
please help !!
Make sure to log out and log back in after installing virtualbox.

You probably have thought of, and tried this but......
I have a galaxy nexus and found myself stuck in a very simalar situation.
I came accross a galaxy nexus toolkit by WugFresh, and i managed to get stock back on through the adb interface.
The toolkit automatically detected my phone and what version of the firmware it needed, downloaded it and flashed it on to my phone. It can also use the fastboot interface but adb is by far better in my personal opinion...
Maybe this could help you out, or maybe could even find a galaxy note version.
As your in a non working state atm, you have nothing to lose by at least giving it a go.
May not help, but i thought i would try and give some assistance.

I forgot about this post, sorry. I also posted in the Galaxy Note general section where I replied, I thought I would risk it and reboot my phone and it rebooted as normal...phew!...and when I when back into download mode and tried flashing the ROM again...it worked! A little wierd but i'm happy I haven't done anything damanging to my phone, watch something happen tomorrow like my phone not turning on
glad you got it working again. there is nothing worse than banging your head against a brick wall with a broken phone!!
luckily these days, it is near impossible to brick a phone completely. thank heavens for small mercys!!
hi guys
i have very very big problem so cant do anything now!!
first week when i bought tab 10.1(3g+ wifi) , i get root with this
warning : don't use this any way : warning
this way very easy : without any change copy this to tab & let it from recovery mode
everything goes very well until i Decide to install cmw , busybox
in this time's so tab let graphic problem
of course with install a rom (P7500JPKL2_P7500OJPLB1_P7500XXKL3_HOME.tar.md5)
only graphic problem resolve
since yesterday i decided to change everything
told me :install stock rom & install cmw , reroot , busybox & ...
go stock rom (P7500OXAKI1_P7500XXKI1_P7500XXKI1_HOME.tar.md5)
after install this everything was bad
now i have graphic problem in boot , download mode , recovery ,... every where
of course i can install rom hard (with problem can sense where are you)
but with both of rom not changed
i realize problem is rooted then to make change with change the rom
it seems the problem is software
how can re wright everything as first (boot loader , rom , ...)
please help me
sorry fo bad english
regards.
I can hardly understand that... But if you want to go stock go to SamMobile.com and go to the firmware section.. Once there use the search option and look for p7500, choose a stock Rom from the list and download..
Once done, install Kies to get the drivers, with drivers installed put the tablet in Odin mode (turn it off then press volume down+power) select the download mode and connect the tablet to the computer.
Once done, open Odin and don't change any option there.. Go to pda and select the file you downloaded from SamMobile and Press start..
That's it

Over in the development thread there is this... little bit over my head, but have a like at it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16058447
The only problem with that link you posted is that you'll need working Android OS, so you would still need to get your Tab up and running again. Also from what I've read in that link its not an Ubuntu os that runs natively on our Tabs. It sounds like it just uses your device as a host or something, it only boots up when your device is docked to a computer and uses its screen, keyboard and mouse.

Actually you just have to connect it on a screen with HDMI. No need for a computer. Somehow Ubuntu takes over when it detects HDMI out from the dock. It has to be a pretty decent device though. At least dual core and one gigabyte ram... Oh well, we just have to wait until canonical releases it!

I don't think he installed Ubuntu... I think he may have flashed the wrong rom with a different bootloader... But ya OP I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you need and how we can go about helping you more...
Can you link us to the files you used to root and any thing you flashed to your Tab?

1.- press power + volume down until the tablet turns on into bootloader and move to downloading with volume down... Once you are in downloading press volume up and you will be in Odin mode. (look at reference image at bottom)
2.-download samsung Kies here and install to get the drivers
3.-download samsung stock rom here search for P7500 and get a rom according to your country/region once downloaded unzip it
4.-get Odin here
5.-connect your tablet to pc (check your usb wire its good and use a back motherboard usb port) , open Odin and Press PDA, in PDA put the file you downloaded from sammobile and unziped then Press start (do not change any Odin's options from the check boxes)
6.-wait until process finish and then you are back to stock close Odin and by this time the tablet should be rebooting.
if you are not able to recover your tab with all this then go pay

Thanks,
I installed win XP SP3 on vmware and reflashing works
Sorry for my late thanks.
Was trying to go from GB 2.3.3 to OmniROM 4.4.4 on a friend’s S2 (GT I-9100).
I rooted using Framaroot (the first version, the latest wouldnt work), got root, checked with RootChecker. Then I tried to install CWM.
Spent hours trying, I wanted to do everything "on device" rather than use Heidal or ADB (use inux on my desktop), tried MobileOdin, but there was no "recovery" option, so tried ROM Manager using a guide ( http://luvis.se/tipstricks/root-and-install-kitkat-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-without-a-computer/ ), but kept failing cos of E signature verification, even though ROM Manager said it was installed.
I d spent hours and hours on the internet looking for how to install, seems its difficult because the device was GB.
So I tried MobileOdin again and just installed the "CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip" I downloaded from the above guide using the "install update.zip" option, I cancelled it when the warning came up about firmware can brick your device, but then hit "ok" (partly in frustration and partly cos I ve never bricked a device before as I m (USUALLY) always careful).
Now it just boots the the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen, then the screen goes blank after 10 seconds or so. Stupid, stupid me.
So can anyone help me recover it using ADB, Android Studio or maybe Heimdal or direct me to a guide on how to ? Everything I read uses Odin and assumes you can get into recovery. All that time trying to avoid connecting it to a pc and now I ve deffo got to.

Cant get into recovery but can get into download mode. Tried One-click Unbrick and it cant connect to device, which reminded me that when I connected it to my (Ubuntu) pc (before I bricked it) I got an error message saying it couldn’t mount Android device (I got rid of my S2 a couple of years ago but it always connected to my pc with no problems). Which seems to me like a real problem - how can I un-brick it if I cant connect via USB ?

First, I don't have any experience with ubuntu, so I would suggest connecting to a windows pc via usb, making sure you install the drivers for the s2, then download odin. Once you have odin setup, I would flash a stock rom .tar from sammobile.com. From there you can flash a kernel such as philz to gain root access, and then omni or other rom.

Heimdal on Ubuntu (or a Mac) will do the same job as Odin on Windows (and is more reliable), but I have this USB problem I mentioned above, so I m not sure anything is going to work if theres a problem with USB on the device (USB debugging was enabled). One-Click Unbrick cannot connect to it and nor can my pc.

Probably obvious, and you've maybe tried already, but will a different usb data cord work? And I would try a different pc just to rule it out.

Mate, the only thing I can suggest is make sure you have drivers for the phone(although the message saying can't mount device indicates a problem like corrupted partitions or nand, rather than missing drivers), and try a different pc. The fact you can get into download mode at least suggests you can flash a kernel or something, but you need a connection to the pc to do that(as you already know). I hope someone else has some other ideas

I wont need drivers as Linux has drivers built into it - it works out of the box, no messing around installing them like with Windows.
I just gotta spend some time getting the firmware and finding instructions on doing it with Heimdall, theres so many versions of the S2 it makes finding the right software complex.
And I ve just got to hope there isnt a problem with the usb port on the device or I m really buggered

Lol, I forgot that on Samsung devices you have to press home as well as power and vol up for recovery, found this out while trying to fins out how to unbrick it !
It wouldnnt boot but it WOULD boot to recovery, CWM recovery !
So flashed a CM kernel then Omni and all is fine, OmniROM installed !
