Hello,
I am having some trouble with a chinese s2,
I read alot on this forum, and I was able to flash my own s2.
But mine is bought where I live, in belgium. My dad bought one in china.
I tried to put on a belgian firmware, but he won't accept it.
I used odin, but it stops when he tries to upload the firmware:
NAND write start
write operation failed
I've been searching the whole day by now, but I can't get it fixed.
Can anyone help me out please? I have got only 3 days of android experience.
*UPDATE*
I was able to flash a kernel to the device.
before that, I couldnt start up the phone, now I can start it up again.
But I still can't flash a matching firmware...
Thanks in advance.
do you have the soft brick icon now? (the one with a small triangle between the cell and a computer). I tried exactly that flashing other country's rom and I have a failed write. Just try to flash it back to HK or asian rom and see if it boots your phone. for some reasons it should allow you to flash back your old stock rom
Yes I had that triangle, but now the phone functions normal again...
If I upload a new kernel the phone works, if I trie to upload a new firmware it wil fail and the phone won't start up again.
I cant get it solved....
Does anyone know how I can at least get the market to work on it?
I installed market apk on it, but when I trie to open it, it asks for my google account and then crashes.
Hi guys
I think i bricked my galaxy s3 (i9300)
my S3 was on android 4.1.2 official, but since the upgrade i noticed the charging problems many people had, with up to 6-7 hours to charnge fully with the original charger or more (the solution many sad was either to buy a direct charger, non usb, as for the S2 or turn back to its ICS 4.0.4..well at that moment i opted for getting back to ICS
But it seems with the new boot loader that Sammy introduced in the new software something went wrong when flashing the ICS firmware with the 3 Files (pda,modem.csc)..
It FAILED, i retried, then i got several times stuck and Nand Write Start or Setup Connection
Then i tried maybe flashing the firmware with a PIT file to repartition..the result was the same..
So in conclusion i think i made up a big mess in there...
At this moment my phone can only get in Download Mode with the 3 buttons combo (it also shows the counter etc), nothing more, it doesn't work at all..I' can't flash on it anything (except for the single PIT file) it's the only file that gets Successful installation in Odin, everything else gets stuck
(recovery, firmware..)
EDIT: after flashing the mx PIT file i have again the initian boot logo..but still get FAILED in flashing firmware process
HELP is MUCH appreciated! Thank you in advance!
I also have this problem, but mine happened when upgrading my rom (Foxhound). Can't enter recovery, only download mode works. Flashing back to stock has failed, I now want to try flashing the pit files.

Hello!
I'm a newbie and I really need help with my bricked(?) phone. First a short intro to how the problem came to be:
I own an old (but I still love it) and extremely rare phone, the original Samsung Galaxy Beam (I8520).
There is no official update for it, so it is stuck on Android 2.1.
The thing I miss is Netflix, and Netflix officially only supports 2.2+, so I thought I could try to fool Netflix into running anyway by editing puild.prop.
But to be safe, I used an app called Device Spoofer. In this I could try different model infos by selecting different phones in a list.
I tried a couple and found one it would except. Then it required a reboot, I believe, and now my phone won't start up.
I get to the Samsung logo and then a Starhub carrier logo, as usual, and then the phone just turns black.
There is supposed to be a way to get into download mode by holding some buttons, but that doesn't work on my phone. I have read something about it being a bug on some Samsung models. But anyway, I have bought one of those usb sticks that puts the phone into download mode, and it works.
I have tried to use ADB, but it doesn't seem to find my phone. I also tried to flash a firmware to the phone, but that doesn't work either, Odin gets stuck at "SetupConnection..". The only firmware I have found online is one called I8520STHJI1.tar, which is the last firmware version made for the phone and the version that is factory installed on my phone.
The I8520STHJI1.tar contains the following files:
cache.rfs
modem.bin
ramdisk.img
SS_DL.dll
system.rfs
userdata.rfs
zImage.img
Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you!
After googling, it seems that I need a certain version Odin to be able to flash the i8520.
What I need is Multi Downloader v.1.7.3L
Does anybody have that?
Hey Guys I'm new to this forum and apologies if this has been covered and would be grateful if someone to point me to the right direction. Link-drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqxONwTQDjiSkF3VWN0UmpFSHc/view?usp=sharing
So just briefly the problem at hand : I did an update to 6.0.1 and after this update my fone screen motion sensor stop working, didnt switch when i turn the fone side ways and also the games with motion requirement didnt work. So just recently there was an heartstone(Blizzard game update) I did the update the fone was working fine till i manually did a restart, thats when my s5 g906s went into bootloop. with a little distortion on the bottom right hand corner. Link-drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqxONwTQDjiSkF3VWN0UmpFSHc/view?usp=sharing
1.)I've already tried to restore it with kies3 manually added the S/N and IMEI it completes but same bootloop with a little distortion on the bottom right hand corner.
2.)I tried to go into recovery mode by pressing Power+Home+Volume Up but it wont enter that mode.
3.)I tried to Use Odin with the fone variant with full AP,BL,CP,CSC and pit ODIN loads all files and give me a PASS message but after this when the fone restarts it tries to go into recovering mode(top lefthand in blue) but it just turns off with a vibrate. Link - drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqxONwTQDjiVHV2RGxrSVRRNU0/view?usp=sharing
4.) So i though the recovery is faulty so i tried to flash a recovery unofficial_philz_touch_6.48.4-g906s_hsk.tar but i get this error
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
After this i read some threads saying I need root so i tried to flash from autoroot_chainfire_eu but same <ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth) error.
Now im just stuck, what am i doing wrong? Please if someone can help me out a little would mean a great deal, thanks.
Create an account on Sammobile to get the firmware.
Use the Search to find the required firmware – enter your Galaxy S5 model number which you can find in Settings > More > About Device > Build Number.
Download the correct stock Android firmware file that matches with your SGS5 model.
Extract the contents of zip file and you would find a .tar.md5 file.
Also, download Odin 3.09 from here. Extract and save the files on your PC.
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy S5:
Turn your Samsung Galaxy S5 off, remove battery and re-insert after some ten seconds.
Boot Galaxy S5 in Download Mode.
Launch Odin on your computer and connect your Galaxy S5 to PC using a USB cable.
Once successfully connected, click on the AP button on Odin.
Locate the .tar.md5 stock Android firmware file extracted earlier.
Don’t touch any other settings except ensuring that Re-partitioning is disabled.
Click on the START button to initiate the process.
After the flashing process is finished successfully, it will reboot and you will be able to set it up with your Gmail account
Dont forget to install phone drivers and use stock USB

Ah, you beat me to it. Also OP, don't forget to boot into recovery and wipe the data otherwise you'll be stuck in another bootloop, I don't know why but I have to do this on all devices when flashing stock ROM.

hai, i having same problem like you with my sm-g906s
before having this issue, my phone is working fine with with android 6.0.1 (PDA G906SKSU1CPF3 | build: 2016-07-10),
than 2 days ago i decided to upgrade it to (PDA G906SKSU1CPL1 | build: 2017-01-03), all the firmware i get from sam mobile.
odin process is working fine, and pass it until my phone showing my homescreen, and i can do anything even installing some aplication from playstore. just looks like it working fine, but im not tested all sensor with this firmware.
the problem is starting when i restart my phone, my phone is having bootloop, no recovery mode, and having same screen distortion like yours, in the bottom right corner.
after that i doing flash again, trying get back to G906SKSU1CPF3 version, but not working good. odin pass it, but bootloop issue still happen. after that, i trying download all android 6.01 and one version of 5.0.1 at sammobile, and flash it one by one, nothing work with my phone. trying to install twrp recovery with odin, is also not work. it confused me, because i dont know what im doing wrong
the phone work, after installing android 4.4.2 G906SKSU1ANFI | build: 2014-06-29. it can fix bootloop, and in this case, i can use my phone again, but with old firmware, screen distortion issue, and not working motion sensor..
installing twrp recovery 3.0.0-0 v4 can be done with odin with this 4.4.2 firmware, but twrp v5 and above is not working.
i get this recovery from https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-v2-8-7-0-t3199011
after that, i using twrp to wipe my phone, with hope it can fix the problem, but nothing happen even after wiping system, and reflash again 4.4.2 with odin. until now still having same problem, but at least i can use my phone
hope you discover better solution, and share with me, because im not sure this is hardware problem.
it sound like the recovery image is corrupted, try SmartSwitch, is a tool from Samsung. Use Emergency software recovery n Initialisation

Hi, guys... Basically a little while ago a certain idiot attempted to root his phone, it all went wrong and said phone is now either dead or in the bootloop. I'm able to get it into download mode and thats all i can do! Ive tried reinstalling the stock firmware via odin however I haven't had any luck so far. It either straight up fails or gets stuck on NAND write start or setup connection. Can somebody please help because id really rather not have to go into a mobile repairs shop if i don't have to. Thanks to all

Hi! Were you able to resolve this issue? I have a similar problem. Thanks!
try to get your phone to out of battery, and use the charger to boot into the download mode, when charge it, press vol + - until you see the download mode, enter and flash firmware to get back to the original samsung UI
and if it stucks on NAND Erase try to find a new usb cable or try to find a newer firmware
the lastest firmware's bootloader have upgraded, if these solution wont work, i am afraid i cannot help you
