Sadly we cant get in Download mode. When you hold the buttons it just doesnt respond
was there a problem with the buttons before?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
its prob hard bricked like mine is. im working on getting it fixed but no luck so far.
There were no problems with the buttons.
I guess its hardbricked then. Is it possible to send it to Samsung or any other tech repair to get it fixed (We are in the Netherlands btw)

As mentioned, you're probably hard bricked, but there is hope!
Check at this thread, and be sure to go to the OP (Original Post): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360
Follow the instructions. And, if you are running Windows as your native OS on your computer, nevermind the part where it mentions installing the Windows VirtualBox.
Again follow the instructions, and you should be fine. Otherwise, send me a PM and I'll do whatever I can to help.
Yes, no virtual box needed!
I confirm, after some uses of the "resurrector" I have done that the virtual box is not needed when having a windows 7 computer, just reboot from ubuntu, in my case, to win 7 WITHOUT UNPLUGING the device worked fine (several times). A huge and welcomed simplification!!!! Then go Odin or Adb as you like. good luck.

Thanks for your confirmation there. But, what exactly do you mean boot from Ubuntu to Windows 7? Are you running dual operating systems on one computer? If that's the case, that's not a feature that the everyday user is going to use.
By the way, does anyone know if the resurrector software is compatible with Windows? If not, Windows users will have to set up a Linux VirtualBox.

That's what I thought you meant. I think that's great that you partitioned your disk for dual operating systems.
But, to be perfectly honest, I really doubt that there are many users in this forum who have done that.
From what I've seen, most users run a dedicated OS and install a VirtualBox to meet their needs.
JTAG
It may need to be JTAG'd. This is basically a recovery for a hard bricked device. You will have to find a JTAG service to do it for you, because it is very hard to do and the equipment is very expensive.

My Samsung Galaxy S t959 was revived from hard brick using Jtag. Phone boots up but IMEI number was null, baseband version is unknown and there's no way the computer recognizes my phone (Usb not recognized-unknown device) and i can't install firmware on it. I can't even copy update files on the phone to do a recovery. any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Someone did the jtag on my phone and he has a cellphone repair shop. I don't know if he's an expert in doing jtag but he's blaming me for messing up my phone on firmware upgrades that's why there's no baseband and imei. Don't know how to jtag a phone but maybe he did not input an IMEI/baseband while doing the the process. What questions should i ask him. Thanks for the reply.
Bro, use a windows 7 oem machine (not custom installed os) (manufacture installed os) and put your phone in download mode and wait while windows download your drivers and waaallaaa... odin recognises your phone
and as far as i know, when your phone is in download mode u cant see your imei... so get into download mode FIRST!!!!!!!!!

I'm lost, why would you need to use a Windows 7 OEM Machine and not a custom installed OS?
I have a computer with a custom installed Windows 7 copy, and Odin recognizes my phone no problem. I use drivers from Samsung Kies.

If I did it, you'd have a working phone or a professional diagnosis on why this happened. Have you tried just flashing with a stock PIT and FULL pda firmware including the modem.bin? Even a borked EFS partition should produce the generic IMEI versus the baseband unknown situation. I've never seen a Vibrant with a bad EFS partition to the point it wouldn't mount correctly.

This is not my first time rooting, i've rooted at least 3 phones thus far, and I am trying to root my Samsung Fascinate. I've tried z4root, Superoneclick and adb. None of them took. I believe it may be something with my drivers, but before I get into specifics, let me give you my information:
~~~~PHONE~~~~
Hardware version: I500.04
Model SCH-I500
Firmware: 2.2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: SCH-I500.ED05
~~~~COMPUTER~~~~
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3.
Ok so now that's out there, what am I doing wrong? when I tried z4root 1.3.0, it got the point where it said "acquiring root shell, then the phone vibrated 3 times and the app closed. Super one click, the prompt got stuck on "waiting for phone" ADB, the device won't even show up in the list of devices. I can't seem to find the right drivers anywhere.
It may be important to note that I am using my data cable from my optimus v, and when I plug it in, the micro-usb dongle doesn't go all the way into the port on the fascinate. However, the fascinate gives me the notification that usb mode can be activate and that debugging is on, etc.
I made sure that mock locations, and usb debugging were both on.
Any help?

However are you going to flash another rom? If so just Odin recovery, flash the rom and be done with it.
I have to have root for that right? My drivers aren't working, is there a way to flash it with out a computer

agreed! If you want a different rom, alot of the steps in that link I posted a not needed. Just odin the proper recovery for the rom you intend on flashing. boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik, then install rom.zip from sd card. reboot and the phone should be rooted.

Downloaded everything in the link, installed drivers, I'm on my friends laptop now, still xp. I got to the step where I have to find CWM3 Voodoo in Odin, and the instructions say that one of the boxes should have turned yellow, but it didn't. I went on ahead and clicked the pda button, but it just said success 0/failure 0. What do I do? Do I have to have vista?
That means odin is not recognizing the phone. Im not sure if odin works with xp or vista... I only use 7 these days. Actually if my memory serves right, odin dont work with xp, don't quote me tho. You could try heimdall but I have no experience with it.
Still can't squire root.I've factory rest 3 times now and still nothing. Can no one help?

first, get a real cable
then, go to official samsung website and install the correct fascinate drivers
download and open odin v3 1.30 (I have xp and it works)
plug in phone in download mode, wait for odin box to turn yellow
pick file in pda
and press start
then just go into cwm via 3 fingers and flash rom

I'm not saying that you shouldn't be doing this but I think you need to slow down and read some more before trying. While this phone is pretty dang hard to brick without physical damage, lacking basic knowledge can put you down got a while if something goes wrong.
A good place to start is the qa stickies. Again I'm not saying don't, just maybe give it another day or two. Really sucks rushing in soft bricking and having to learn after with no phone in the mean time.

Not trying too be an ass or anything but 1.) This is my 5th or 6th time rooting. I have more than basic knowledge. 2.) This is a spare phone I picked up dirt cheap for development. 3.) I checked every place possible trying to find out why my drivers weren't working including q&a.

Hello everyone!
Cut to the chase:I semibricked my GT-5830i, i, and I so desperately need someone to help me upload a blank restore file to be flashed from CWM 5.0.2.6. I imagine it to be:
1. Backup current files using CWM.
2. Factory reset.
3. Backup factory resetted stuff using CWM restore.
4. Upload file mentioned in step 3.
5. Restore file mentioned in step 1 to your phone.
I understand most ppl would have personal stuff in their phone, hence I suggested the 5 steps above. And I apologize as I'm not able to give away incentives of any sort.
Thank you very much.
As odin works with galaxy young pit file..why not do a clean flash ??
As this will be better for you and also you will not require to find a good and rare soul
I laid out upon thee, le problems:
1. Macs don't support Odin. Chance are I won't be getting access to Windows anytime soon.
2. Even with Heimdall One-Click Unbrick, the program does not detect my phone in USB port. Both ports.
3. I have installed the driver from Kies 2.2.0 like, say, 5 times, still USB no response.
4. I heard something about a binary counter or something for the S5830i. Goes up for everytime you flash something with ODIN.
5. As with 4, i'm worried about battery life, since i haven't charged it in a week, and its probably just hanging by a thread. The phone does not seem to be charging when I plug in the power. If it flashes and quits halfway i'm pretty much screwed.
So, before I take back my phone (for the second time) to the Samsung Repair Shop feeling very paiseh, I'm am now considering the possibility of some kind soul uploading a fresh restore file, or another solution to the problem.
Thank you.

Try virtual box
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA
VirtualBox could not even detect my Kingston thumbdrive, which contained all the big repair files, so I decided go with VMware Fusion. This time, the VM detected the Thumbdrive, but not the S5830i in download mode. I made sure to download the latest version of kies, upgrade the drivers, then restart the VM, but still nothing. Even after putting the phone cable in place of the Kingston drive (Drive E), it still could not detect. All i get is "Hardware not properly installed" (along those lines) in the status bar on the bottom right.

Please friends, help!
Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 YP-G70 (with phisycal home button) bricked.
I accidentally flashed the rom to SGS-I9000B to the SGP 5.0 so it got bricked.
It's status is: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
After weeks of exaustive researche, the only way I was able to enter in download mode was using the Adam's Outler procedure: Instaling Linux (Ubuntu along W7), Java, Oracle Virtual Box, a XP version of Windows under VBOX, to run Samsung drivers and Odin after using Unbrickable Resurrector R40.
Well, using this procedure SGP 5.0 enters in downloading mode and when I use the PIT file and BootloadersOnly provided by Adam the result in Odin is PASS! Despite that SGP doesn't reboot and keeps the same way: doesn't turn on, doesn't enter in dowload mode (Volume down + Home + Power), doesn't show charging icon.
So I enter in download mode using Unbrickable Resurrector R40 again and try to flash several SGP 5.0 YP-G70 Intl ROMs: Stock Froyo, Stock Ginger Bread and some Customs ROMs most of them PASS in the Odin result BUT SGP 5.0 never reboots or turn on after the procedure.
I have a doubt of marking or not Re-partition in Odin, but the procedure just works if I mark it.
I feel I was close to resurrect it and make it work again but all I've got is frustration.
I'm not an expert as the major of you so I beg some enlightned soul show me the way to make it works: step by step and share with me the right files I have to use to make it works.
I also tryied the same procedure using Odin 1.3, 1.7, 1.83 version. All the same result.
It seems like I miss something. I also tried several procedures I found in other threads none worked for me.
I also have installed Heimdall but I was not able to find the appropriate files to use it and SGP 5.0 can not have the batery removed. Someone wrote Adam has developed a tool for SGP full recovery but I didnt find it.
Please, folks, help me and I will share the solution with other people in the same situation.
Thanks and best regards.
Wanted you to know I saw your post but got a full plate today... If you can get to download mode we should be able to get you fixed up... just give me some time...

Does that mean that installed Ubuntu "natively" or in Virtual box? or have tried both?

OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...
Give that a try let me know how it goes...

Yes, Java looks like the culprit. So I've tried Ubuntu from a live dvd and got Java errors there too.
Then I tried permutations of (jdk07u40, jdk-6u25, and jdk-6u16) with Unbrickable (R36, R37, R38 and R40) on my Slackware 14 machine. They all gave the same error message. Googling that error message gives many millions of results, all highly specialized Java discussions which I don't understand.
The only positive at this point is that UnbrickableResurrector does see the device and starts the process. Then Java dies.
So I'm looking for another angle. I will try Ubuntu again; I've freed up a small partition and I'll install it there. I'm wondering if I need an older version of Java, to match the era when these devices were current. Maybe Resurrector isn't compatible with newer Java jdk??
Any other ideas?

Don't use Heimdall, After you get the player into download mode. Take it to Windows and use Odin! If you are using Heimdall for Windows then uninstall it. Then reinstall windows drivers from Samsung or install Kies... Then use Odin.

Hello out there. I'm back with good news, kinda. I'm now in the position of the original poster. I have a totally dead un-responsive do-nothing black box, BUT I am able to use the Resurrector and then Odin and I can successfully flash a pit, a bootloader and a rom. But then the Galaxy does not reboot.
This still feels like progress, since I couldn't even use the Resurrector a few days ago. I finally had to install Ubuntu Desktop on my machine. The Resurrector wouldn't run from Slackware or even from a Ubuntu live DVD.
So it looks like the sticking point for both the OP and I is the reboot.
Any further ideas are welcomed. Thanks for your interest.
Daniel

OK, once you use the un-brickable resurector to get to download mode (don't reboot or anything), you need to flash a rom with boot loaders such as this one: http://www.4shared.com/zip/vxHoJ8E0/G70JKKE3_STOK_222RU_.html
If your partition tables are messed up, it may not boot but you should be able to get back to download mode without the resurector.... Hold power and volume down to try...
Give that a try let me know how it goes...

Well, I did exactly what you said and did it using the same Odin version 1.81 and I got surprised when I saw Samsung Logo aparing but it got stocked on this screen for several minutes so I decided to unplug the USB cable and try to turn if off and on again. It still got stucked into the screen with Samsung logo and after about 5 minutes it turned off and will not turns on.
What to do know?
I think it might be to got out of battery but dont know what do next.
Remebering that my SGP is International version with Physical Home button.
Wait for guidance to next steps
Thanks a

I charged the battery for a while and was able to get it into download mode. I'm very happy with that but would like to know the exact steps I have to follow to bring it back to life now cause I really dont want to loose it again.
Thank you
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.

Can you get into download or recovery mode?

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.
Here is something to read as well about recovering from soft bricks. Hope it helps -

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 !

Yeah !
Ta for your input !
Try flashing official frimware with odin or flash siyah kernel with heimdal
Should fix your problem
