i know there are other posts about something like this, i posted, and read them but none have helped so far.
so my galaxy player has a dark screen, won't light up or anything. so i used resurrector to get it into download mode. but im not sure if it is. on the program it says start firmware download with odin/heimdall, and has the downloading logo.
when im in odin, it gets stuck on param.lfs and nothing happens. i used the .pit and pda from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850
i'd appreciate all the help i could get
and also i posted this on that thread as well but didn't g et any responses. [
CODE]EDIT: so i guess i hadn't flashed it yet. so now i'm trying to flash it, but im having issues with. its stuck on "SetupConnection"
EDIT #2: Okay so i did something disconnected and than reconnected, used the resurrector again, and tried to run odin again, i got to the point where it says param.lfs, going to go and get some grub and see what it says. heres a pic: http://i.imgur.com/7iJuP.png

after I accidently did EFS on ODIN, I cannot get the phone to go into the DM mode. I tried to flash again using atlas v2.2.pit and EB01 Stock rom, but no luck yet.
I have the phone flashed to metro, so I need to update PRL on it.
Could somebody direct me into the right direction?
Right now on QPST, it's saying no phone,
and in CDMA workshop, I can connect to the port, but cannot read from it.
It's keep on searching for the phone in DM mode which I had put it in with **usbui.
Thank you in advance.
the meid is stil intact, I did manual programming for MDN, MIN, but since PRL is from verizon, I have to flash metro's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried:
EB01 - **usbui
Eclair - Dial up networking
no luck so far..
Bump. Anybody?
You Might be able to re odin in PDA, always pda never anywhere else. if not your gonna need to heimdall it back. dont worry your phone IS recoverable from this, i know i've done it one on accident, and a few times on purpose just to see if the Fascinate was as impossible to truly brick as i've heard. Turns out the damn thing is pretty much brickproof as a phone can get. if you need files or help either post here or pm me and i will walk you thru it.
thank you.
I am just keep on trying to odin the different PDAs right now without the pit or the EFS checked, but I've tried DI01, DL09, EB01 and still no luck..
still no luck in QPST / CDMA workshop.
I've flashed using the pit files with it, and so on..
wow this is really getting onto me.
Ok so your gomma have to use heimdall to get it back. I will be back home in 30 mins where i have access to my computer and i can send you the files you need wirh a walk thru. Be patient we will get you back up and running.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Ok so i don't know how to change it to metro pcs but it sounds like you already know how to and have successfully done that before. I am not trying to insult anyone's intelligence but this walk-through will be step by step so follow along, although i don't think it is possible to completely brick this phone short of actually smashing it, lets not take unnecessary chances. First go here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0zpydb4mt5o8vo3, unzip this and open the folder. In this folder you will find another folder labeled Drivers, open it and you will see a program called zadig. Now put your Phone into download mode, that is take out the battery and plug it into your PC with the cable that came with the phone when you got it, then press and hold the down volume button till a yellow triangle and droid digging show up, now you are in download mode. Next double click zadig and when it opens, click on options and click list all devices. Now drop the usb dropdown box and you will find an option for samsung usb driver, select it then click install drivers. the usual install stuff from windows about do you want to install this, yes you do. Now If the warning about publisher could not be verified, whatever, install anyway. You are almost ready to get your phone working again. Now you need the files for this program to install, so go Here http://www.multiupload.com/I9HBT8MXN1 and get them. Then here http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?26xbh796jmwvwqb for the pit file. After download is complete unzip the .tar.md5 file winzip/7zip/jzip, whatever zip file program you use, extract to a file, mine is named EB01heimdall, so i know when i need it again. Now back into the heimdall file you opened earlier and click the application called heimdall-frontend. here is where you can go wrong so i will do this side by side with heimdall names and eb01 file names.
heimdallon this side of =eb01 file names on this side.
In Repartition:
PIT=atlas_v2.2.pit
In PDA/Code:
FactoryFS=factoryfs.frs
Kernel(zImage)=zImage
Param.lfs=param.lfs
Primary Bootloader=boot.bin
Secondary Bootloader=slb.bin
In CSC:
Cache=cache.rfs
Database Data=dbdata.rfs
In Other:
Modem=modem.bin
Recovery=recovery.bin
Now you are ready to run heimdall, but you say you have a file in eb01 left called movinand.bin? why, yes you are correct and since there are no places left in heimdall to put it, now what? Nothing it wont be used in this program and yes your phone will still work. So after a simple answer of data, i went looking for more info, movinand.bin is a flash program to access data storage at less cost than using soldered in hardware, REALLY, see herehttp://www.letsgodigital.org/en/13819/samsung_8gb_movinand/. Now that we have all the files loaded into the correct spots, the necessary drivers installed, and our phone in download mode, the start button will be able to be clicked, not shaded outlines like before, did you even notice that? If everything was fallowed step by step in this tutorial than go ahead and click the START button and get your brick back to being a Fascinate. After heimdall finishes reboot your working VWZ stock, bing bloated, working Fascinate. after this is completed successfully you use odin again.
Why was this necessary, as far as i can find out, through research, and the five yes that's right i said 5, times i have HAD to do this because my phone would not recover through odin, it seems to be, dbdata, can not mount. This has happened to me because I didn't remove voodoo, or flashed a pre edify rom after accidently putting clockwork orange, which is for edify, on a non edify rom. So moral of the story is twofold, yes it is very likely it can be fixed, and remove voodoo before going to nonvoodoo, and unless you are on an edify rom stay away from clockwork orange.
Thank you. I'm at work right now so I cannot read it throughly, but I'll make sure to try your method. Hopefully this will get me back on to the network.
Thanks!
sorry, but while I am at it, do you have links to where I can download the softwares mentioned above? Thank you

Updated OP above, fixed links.
ok. I still haven't been able to connect it to the computer..
and I did heimdall for 7 times but no luck.
What could be the problem?
I found something strange..
when I go into system selection, and choose home only, I lose the signal.
But when I use the Automatic, it goes into Roaming mode.
When I go into about phone, choose status, the network is unknown.
Hmmm, no idea?? Since the Mod wont let us post questions in the Development section and none of our resident geniuses have found your post yet, i will PM the link to a few and ask if they can help you out, this is above me, Sorry.
thank you very much. I'll be keep on trying to figure out what is what..
I am wondering if I should do something with odin and try to see if it brings back anything..
seems like something is messed up in the /efs.
The MEID is still intact, but the QPST is not recognizing the phone..
Funny thing is, it creates a port for the diagnosis WDM so I can connect to it without a problem. The only thing is it's not connecting it to the DM mode..
does anybody have a backup of /efs? seems like the guys in Captivate forums backup their efs but I haven't came across a single one in our forum..
ok... so I checked my /efs
and it's empty!!!
is there any way to recover /efs ?
I think this is the only reason it's not connecting to the QPST
So i found this thread today and thought it might be helpful to you. Also the Devs that have been able to get back to me don't really know anything useful about QTSP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850233
Also links to get some generic use Samsung drivers, maybe they will let you connect. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6uol6mb2pcwiuxc and http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tixlaab9iiokk9q
Let me know whether this helps you or not, if not I will look more for some info on it and post here for you as I find anything that might be useful.
Thank you for looking after me. I really appreciate it.
Those were the instructions given to flash it to Metro.
The thing is, I cannot get it to enter DM mode.
I guess I'll be comparing my epic's /efs and see if that does anything..
If I had access to another Fascinate, I think I can compare what's different, but I guess I'll have to start with epic for now..
Try google for Verizon Samsung Fascinate efs, maybe someone has a post out there with the info you need. i was looking into that last night but without being able to see exactly what your missing I can't be certain anything i found would have helped.
i think i have bricked mine new P 7500
but there is nothing wrong i did with this device
tab is now in only conecting in APX
NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
no sign of charging and no light on display
is there any way to recover it back??????????
What exactly did you do? Nothing? You did try to hold the power button for 15 seconds, right?
yes exactly
when no luck in powering on
is this hard bricked on semi??
do i need Jtag for this??????
What did you try to do that caused this problem?
trying rooting
messed up with commands
so my tab is bricked ???????????????
If you really want some help from here, you'd better exactly describe (step by step) what you were doing when things went wrong. Fisrt post you say you did nothing wrong, 6th post you say you messed up commands. I would be jumpy too if my tab was bricked, but your short replies don't add to the possible solution.
a very good answer
thanks
but i have messed up with commands now
not while it was working fine
when nothing happened nothing shown on screen
then i started using commans of those rooting procedure mentioned in devlepment forum for 10.1
all i wanted to reboot it with commands
so i thought may be i have done something wrong with commands
thats why i wrote now that
messed up with commands now
only obove mentioned device is shown on my device manager
thats all happened
Ok, so we have apx mode for stock GT-P7500. I thougt that only was for that Google I/O version. But then you should be able to nvflash a firmmware on to your tab. APX mode is the same as nvflash. Do a search for NVflash on the tab and see if you come up with answers. Good luck
And by the way, whhat kind of rooting process where you doing? you should just download the root zip and flash thru stock recovery
Edit: Heres a link that might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
yes i was trying rooting exactly this procedure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
ok i have nvflash command software and stock firmware too
but the problem is, my tab does'nt recognised by odin
then how to flash it
thanks for your help but would you plz tell me how can i flash in apx mode??
Im not sure how its done on Galaxy tab. but in the download package there should be all that is needed for nvflash and you should ad the .img files for system and boot and recovery of the firmware version you want. And there should be a .bat file in the package i think. you should run it from there. But you need to google and collect info about this yourself as i have not done this myself on the Tab. Good Luck
can you boot into recovery? ! Holding volume down and power at the same time?

Good luck, go to this place and ask for help. http://tabletroms.com/forums/forum.php#major-devices-android They have very good guys for nvflash on other devices. And as nvflash is something within tegra2 it should be the same rules that apply for our TAB. Check in Asuus Transformer forum.
well i have checked that forum too
and there are only 10 or 15 threads in every section of samsung 10.1
it clearly shows repo of that forum
anyway i have posted there too, thanks for your advise
no one can ??????????
No luck? If i were you i would PM one of the Devs and see if one of them is in a good mood.
Edit: I was thinking, the nvflash mode is nothing to do with Samsung. Its a tegra2 thing so you should be able to follw the guide from Transformer forum. Just put Tab .img files in there. because the one for Transformer(nvflash package) comes with a .bat file that runs the install process. it goes thru all partions and installs all .img files. but you need to chek with the Dev for Transformer so that there is no partion map for Transformer or something in there.
I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to my problem.
GT-I9100 (Sprint)
I hate to admit I am somewhat of a noob. But pretty good at following instructions. I tried to install ics using Odin.
PDA –—> I9100_CODE_I9100XXKPA_CL51925_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone –—> MODEM_I9100XXKPA_REV_02_CL1094591.tar.md5
CSC –—> GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXAKPA.tar.md5
The first instructions I read din't say to do the pit file. So I didn't. I have read later that I should have. The process failed. And when I restarted the phone I can only get to the download screen. When I try to get to recovery I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I also get the same message if I simply plug the usb into the phone while off, before any buttons are pushed.
Neither Kies or Odin recognize the phone anymore. I've tried different USB ports, a different computer. And I've hooked up a friends AT & T Galaxy S2 and it's recognized fine. Neither computer I've used even makes the beep when you hook up the phone.
The short is since it connected before the flash, and the other phone is showing I'm confident it's not PC related. But not being able to get anywhere besides the download screen has my hands tied to do anything else.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! And I have searched all over and can only find similar problems that turn out to be PC related.

Firstly... Being from Sprint... Are you 100% SURE that you have the GT-I9100? What does your device look like? Does it have a middle "hard button" at the bottom?
Product Name
It shows:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100
at the top of the download screen. There are the four buttons across the bottom. Not what I call physical buttons, because they don't move. I guess they would be called soft buttons below the screen.
You don't have an I9100 and are in the wrong forums.
Do you know what I have then?
Probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
But you might want to check under your battery before blindly flashing stuff for the wrong device.
open odin look that kies process is not runing on the background.
Try to boot your phone the message from firmware upgrade failed will come on the screen, when you're on this screen plug yor phone it will be recognized on odin, then leave it plugged in and shutdown the phone and get on download mode it will be recognized
last flash stock firmware complete i always use the XXKI3 with pit file, all of this if u phone is gt i9100
this was what i did, have the same problem in a bad flash of stock GB firmware (2 days ago) same screen and same problem, doing that (read it on a post somewhere) helped me
I was wrong. Its not the i9100. Its the galaxy s2 epic touch. Yeah.... Im kicking myself now. I did try what you said and it didnt work. I posted in the correct thread and was told im bricked.

aw that sucks! i guess you have to buy an usb jig now! Dont worry, its cheap and very usefull it also resets your flash counter
Can you point me in the direction of where to get a USB jig?
Just figured out what the USB jig does. Wont work for me. I cant take the phone back. I cancelled my plan with sprint. I use this phone as a second device. I may have to do JTag... But its going to be $50.
Hi, I'm pretty new to Android and stuff, but I bricked my SGP 5.0 with a mod.. At first I was able to go into download mode but then I think I flashed the wrong firmware and now the device is completely unresponsive. Any advice on what to do would be great. I also already checked out all the forums on here but none have been able to work for me. Thanks in advance!
Yup. I was in the same boat as you. Exact same one actually. However i managed to get best buy to to switch mine out because i said it was "defective". I tried the linux tutorial with resurrector and nothing as well. And i also tried.... Well everything. From my thread i posted I gathered that no one (at leasr on xda) knows how to unbrick these damn things. So until these get more popular. Your sunk. Sorry pal:/
try the resurrector.. it's worked for me on a few occasions. it brought mine back from not even being able to turn on.
one thing that's not incredibly obvious with it though is you have to hold "vol up" for download mode while the program is doing its thing. if you don't hold the button it wont work.
Tried it.
I tried that already though and it wouldn't let me unbrick it, but I'll give it another try with what you said about the Vol.+Up keys! Thanks!
I don't have a 4.0 player but my 5.0 player was bricked initially the first time I tried to root... To get it into Download mode you need to hold Vol-(Vol down) button and Power button as the unit is powering up. Hold both for a few seconds until you see the yellow download mode picture.
Good luck
Are you able to get to the download mode? If so I have a simple solution. If not, start a download of Ubuntu to have the proper stuff to fix your problem.
I'm running Ubuntu with the Unbrickable Mod and I have it in download mode and I have virtualmachine installed with windows and sammy drivers but my player wont show up in odin3. Any ideas to get it shwoing?
Either, shutdown VM and see if usb device shows up in windows. If it still does not then unplug usb from pc and then plug it back in, or transfer usb back to host in VM.
I tried that already.. It still doesn't show up in Odin3.
Check device manager for vm drivers for usb and remove them?
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Hmmm.... I don't really understand what you mean.. Sorry!
When you attach a usb device to a VM the vm software replaces the drivers of the USB device on the host with virtual drivers that redirects IO from the USB device to guest If the original driver does not get put back in during a detach then IO never goes back to the host.
I know that sounds complicated but I do not know how else to explain it...
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Okay, i fixed that. I have it in download mode, i uploaded the bootloaders that adamoutler has. I uploaded the stock rom you have. Odin3 said pass. But its still in download mode, autoreboot was checked. when i try turning it on, the download screen appears but the icon for download goes all over the screen then stops. Its still recognizeable in odin3 too. Any ways to get this thing going?
My stock rom does not include bootloaders and adam outler's bootloaders are only a temporary solution. What you need to do is flash a full international rom that has bootloaders. Then flash my stock rom to fix the capacitive buttons.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Alright I see what you mean!! Where can I get a full stock rom though?
Well, I'm not exactly sure. I used to get mine from samfirmware.com but they have recently changed their site. You might try rumirands stock recovery in the dev section. You'll want to open it up and look for files like: boot.bin and Sbl.bin . These are the bootloader files. This will verify that you have a rom with bootloaders in it.
Sent from my YP-G70 using XDA App
Alright thanks a lot! Ill try rumirands stock and if that doesnt work ill go to samfirmware.com. Ill be back with the results in a few hours!!
Well Rumirands ROM did not. work. samfirmware.com only has the French and Chinese Rom versions so that doesnt help either. I downloaded a .tar.md5 from here : http://www.4shared.com/file/zhZjh0EY/package_us235tar.html..... Should I flash this by itself or do I need a pit file too?
The language of the ROM does not matter. What matters is that is has the boot loaders. Flashing my Stock ROM over it will fix language and capacitive buttons.
Make sure you have followed AdamOutler's intructions precisely. I don't recall having to use a pit file other than the one in his intructions but if comes to it, it is another troubleshooting point.
Realyy? Hm alright so what your saying is that when I have it in download mode, and with, lets the the chinese firmware, I flash that, turn on my sgp to see if it loads and then put it in download mode again and flash your stock rom, that it might work fine again???
Please can someone help me out here!, I have a Samsung Mega 6.3 GT-I9205 I cannot access recovery or even flash anything through Odin.

Just thought i would post another reply, not to get my post count up but purely to explain that the reason i'm probably not getting any answers to my problem is because you think i haven't looked on here already?, well to answer that i can tell you i have tried multiple threads to try and sort this out but the download links that are there are dead links so i can't go any further.
All i want to know can this be sorted and if so could i get some up to date help or if the device no good, if so i can just throw it in the bin and stop wasting anymore time on it. thanks in advance,
just one answer please, that's all i'm asking!
