It was fine till I downloaded Odin 1 Click download.
After that, the ohone simply won't turn on!!
Whats wrong? And What to do next?

forced download, the device is begging you to flash something.
Plug it in, odin it, and make sure you are flashing the RIGHT ROM for your device's model.

The phone isnt turning on & Odin is unable to pick up the phone. No COM detection.

And how did you get that image you posted?

Yes, I did.
Then I downloaded Odin 1 Click, which was suppose to stock ROM it. Instead, created a new problem.

get odin 1.85, kill all kies applications running on background and plug your device (power it first).
And make sure it's charged.

[Q] [HELP] [WTSR/SMPL] Bricked SGSII by removing Gmaps

Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?

Completely Unresponsive GT-9100 after Odin

Hi, my GT-9100 phone wont do anything. Nothing happens when I press the power button, it just stays off. I broke it, possibly by flashing the wrong PID using odin. I also forgot that I also had the PDA box checked with a CWM tar before I clicked start. The phone turn off and now wont turn on again.Anyone have any idea how I can at least get the phone into download or recovery mode?
I've tried the volume up/down-home-power button thing but as the phone wont actually turn on I've had no luck with that. I've also tried using another fully charged battery from another phone. No luck with that either.
Also, there is nothing on the screen when i plug in the charger.
Try a usb jig, if that doesn't work your phone is probably bricked

I don't understand why so many people just flash a random pit file, it's not needed for ordinary flashing

they flash pit files simply because they are there.

Yep, guess they will never learn, until their 500 € phone is just a paperweight...

Ok, i'll try getting the jig. If that fails I can get it jtag'd. Not sure why people are posting cartoons on a help forum. Not very helpful.

I really hope you can get your phone fixed, but as i said before: i don't understand why you want to mess with something like a pit file, your not a new member so you must have already seen someone brick their phone with a pit file
Always think twice when you flash something, especially on a 500€ phone

If you flashed a custom ROM and/or Kernel, Kies will not reconize your phone !

[Q] Bricked Tab3, Help**

Hello,
I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 (model sm-t110, if that matters), then made a huge mistake. Upon believing that i was going to sell it, i went to settings, and selected to reset phone, foolishly thinking it would take it back to factory/out-of-the-box condition. Now, when i attempt startup, the B&W logo appears repeatedly, followed by this screen with options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is the best way to fix this? I prefer to go back to the rooted version, or whichever method is easiest!
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

re:
The closest i came is trying to flash? a ROM (i think, my knowledge is obv limited) via SD card. But i think i read error msgs right before the device re-booted...
Thanks again....
RWB
EDIT: microSD, not USB! Dammit
HELP!?
Lil' help please?!
Just point me in the right direction, anything!!
Thanks in advance!
You can download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin. That should restore it back to it's stock unrooted out of the box state

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Currently, i dont have access to a PC or laptop. I can borrow one from a friend, if needed...seems like it is a necessity, right??
Thanks again, and if there are any other tips you or anyone can provide, it would be MUCH appreciated!
RWB
Yes. You would need a Windows PC for ODin to work, and the Samsung drivers installed.

Not so familiar with chrome books, but I'm guessing, NO
Look around for jODIN3 , it's a web based solution for flashing Odin files...I know for a fact that it works on Mac and Linux..,
You might want to give it a shot and let us know if it works on a chrome book

[Q] Mega 6.3 update problem

My friend tasked me with updating his Galaxy Mega 6.3 (i9205) to 4.4.2. I digested information, and got Odin, the USB driver and the boot image from Sammobile. Once I flash the file, everything goes well until... there is an error. This is how it looks like, am I doing something wrong with the tool? What could be causing this? I really have no idea.
EDIT: Oh yeah and the Mega is now stuck in a bootloop I can flash a custom recovery just fine. It's just this file that's a problem

Hi..try taking off the .md5 at the end of that file so it is a .tar only and try reflashing it and see if it works then..as sometimes this will correct this problem.

Nah it still fails at the same bit, thanks for trying though!
The phone just magically booted into 4.4.2... I have no idea what happened or how stable this is going to be but it's better than nothing!
