OOPS, I think I'm Bricked :[ - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't believe it, I wanted to figure out which Stock Rom would let me update to a 4.2 Rom easiest so I used ODIN to flash 03, 05 and 09. Well on my last attempt, 09, I decided to also flash a Kernel.....guess it was the wrong one because it won't go into Recovery or go past "Samsung" on boot. To top it off, when I put it back in "Download" mode to ODIN again, the computer won't even detect it.....I tried everything. I even did a recovery on my computer in case I downloaded a bug....NOTHING. Paperweight!!!!! I could really use some help here or confirmation of the "Brick" so I don't waste my time.:crying::crying::crying:

I can get into download mode but when I do the computer won't recognize the phone so is there a way to install the Kies without connecting to the computer? Whatever happened effected both my USB port and SD card. My SD card is missing the recovery it seems like. Can I install recovery on it without the phone being connected to the computer and just the SD card in the computer?

You just disconnect your phone and download and install the latest version of kies in your pc. So that drivers will be automatically installed to ur pc then open odin and connect your phone in download mode to pc then check wether odin detect ur phone:thumbup:

**** Fire! No Dice....still nothing. I tried DL mode with battery, without battery; tried different cables; tried different ports. The computer just will not detect the phone. Is there some kind of "Hotwiring" I could do on the inside of my phone, like on the circuit board? Other than that, I'm all out of ideas.

Would it be possible to install recovery files onto my SD card via my computer and then insert the SD card back in the phone to be able to get it into recovery? From everything I've read I am the first to be able to have my phone bricked to the point I can get into Download mode but not recovery of any kind yet no computer will detect my phone at all, even in download mode......ONLY ME :]

Well, after pondering on the fact that I can get into download mode but nothing else a friend reminded me that I can't be Hard Bricked if I can get into download mode, I realized that it was a communication problem of the "hardware" kind. So, I took my phone apart. went to the micro usb and re-soldered all the connections and used a magnifying loupe to look at the connectors in the micro usb port and took a small flathead screwdriver and raised up the connectors a little. After putting it back together I crossed fingers and plugged it in and Whalla! "Loading Drivers"--connected. How about that. So thanks to everyone for their suggestions and hopefully my experience can help someone else. I would like to add that up until this point, I have never had issues with the micro usb port on the device.

S3 not recognised by various computers. HELP

Hi Everyone,
Currently trying to sell my S3 to fund a 4G version and need to unroot and go back to stock. However the phone will not be recognised by any PC. Only phone appears to be charging but nothing else when connected via PC, nothing on the phone or on the computers. When I first got the phone (Secondhand) everything was fine and I could load Kies and Odin and the phone was recognised but no more.
Some details about what's running now:
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: I9300XXDLID
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-368423 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Build Number: WanamLite.Stock.I9300XXDLJ4
I've searched everywhere for answers and these are the things I've tried to get working:
Used 3 different computers
Uninstalled drivers and re-installed
Uninstalled Kies and re-installed
Downloaded QCOM Toolkit to manually install drivers
Removed battery for 30 seconds and tried again
Tried with Sim in and Sim out
Tried with SD card in and out
Tried with different USB cables
Re-started windows with phone connected
Tried with USB debugging on and off
Tried with different ROM's
Tried loading ODin whilst in download mode
Nothing is happening at all and I'm really losing my patience as I can't sell the phone if it can't update OTA because it's modified or can't be recognised by PC.
PLEASE can anyone help at all or try and suggest something? Could it be the Kernel?
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Well I've just paid for and downloaded Mobile Odin to flash stock firmware/kernal etc. Nothing again. So not the ROM. Been trying to solve this for hours now and to be honest feel like throwing it through the window.

[Q] GS3 Bricked. Please Help!

I rooted my GS3, tried to upload a new ROM, finished installing the ROM and hit reboot and it bricked. My PC wont pick it up, neither will Kies and neither will a toolkit. My PC makes connections sounds when I press the power button, but it wont turn on and my PC wont recognize it. Please help me!

it was the revolt ROM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035365.
it came with a set up wizard which i thought was strange. i went through all the steps that it asked for. then at the end it had a reboot now button and i clicked it. it then powered off and never came back on. when i plug it into the computer it makes a sound like it connected, but then it says the driver failed to install. the driver that it lists is QHSUSB_DLOAD. i downloaded that driver manually from the samsung website and it still says its not found.
when i plug in the phone to a charger without the battery in, the red light comes on for about 1 minute and then turns off. that's as far as ive gotten so far.
Will it boot into recovery?
---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------
If it does, try wiping cache and dalvik cache and try reboot, failing that you might have to try wiping data
---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------
Did you format system before you flashed the Rom?

It will not boot at all. I have tried all the different key combinations. I did not format system but I did choose to wipe data and cache in Rom manager when I said to install from sd.
So you tried to install it via Rom manager?

I've tried those combinations. It doesn't turn the phone on, but when it's plugged in to the computer and I do that it makes a sound as if a device has been plugged in. Then it fails downloading the driver and doesn't show up. Not even in the adb toolkit.

I forgot to mention that my s3 model is the i747 one if that makes any difference.
Anything you do with help from this forum might damage your phone beyond repair. Better ask in the Q&A sub-forum under AT&T, Rogers, Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 forum.

I'm sorry, but it kinda seem you are.
Your device's SKU is not the same as i9300 ones.
You installed the Rom of one device to another, it can easily hard brick your cell which it might have.

Could a Samsung service center fix it? They probably can't tell it's rooted right?
Also, I have a dual boot of Linux on my laptop. Would there be a better chance of Linux recognizing the device?
they can't "fix" it, they'll replace the motherboard. they won't tell if it's rooted. Linux is not better. have you tried a usb jig?

Alright a few questions:
what is a USB jig?
how much do they charge to replace a motherboard?
if they ask me if its rooted should I lie and say no?
also, I think its under warranty, but would rooting it void it and could they tell?
motherboard replacement is around $350. Lying would be insurance fraud, so I can't give you any advice here. They might decline warranty if they find out you're rooted.
And to find out what a USB jig is you can use Google

Yes, this is what happened
what i should do now
It could be some screwed up partitions but like the poster above me told you if you indeed did delete your bootloader the only way to fix it is with a riff box. I reccommend that you try reflashing the recovery the way you flashed it before and then try booting into recovery if you have any more problems pm me.

You can't use usb debugging when your phone doesn't power on. But it seems like you haven't deleted the bootloader partition but most likely wiped your system partition. Can you enter your recovery?

Hi,
Could you recover bootloader? I am also having same issue. I tried to unlock v860 mobile and when I rebooted after installing ROM my device is not booting at all.
So, have you checked devicemanager in Windows when you connect your phone with usb? Is there an unidentified driver?
Sent from my S500 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem. I deleted bootloader from recovery. And yes on device manager it shows for about 5 sec as an unknown device. Tested win xp and win 7
Well after so many times am posting mostly just to bump this thread and seeing if anyone found a solution for this.
I still have my Smart II V860 after 1 year not working and kinda tried anything to repair it.
Was trying to put a new custum Rom to it that time and must have done something wrong at it and when did a reboot
phone got stuck on the android logo. Since then nothing worked to bring it back.
PC doesnt recognize it. If you go to device manager sometimes shows it as a modem for a few sec and just that.
Cant flash anything new couse ADB and Fastboot commands dont work couse Pc doesnt recognize the Device when conneced even why
have the right installation files for V860 while ADB is working fine with other phone i use.
I also did a home made USB Jig for it but prolly works only on Samsung devices becouse when i used it V860 just restarts
and still on Android logo and yet not recognized on fastboot or ADB.
Vodafone in here doesnt accept it for repair couse 1 year garanty contract has passed and some private mobile service companies i have tried
have not found a solution.
Looks mostly a hardbrick then softbrick to me but really dont know if anything else left to do about it.

how do i root? can't use Odin and no "install zip from sd card" in recovery

Hye Guys
as per title, i read most of the solution ( i think so) in this forum, but none can solve mine,
because..
1) my original usb cable cant be detected by my pc so I cant use ODIN
2) the android recovery does not have "install zip from sd card" , so i cant flash cwm and root
so, my tab isnt rooted and I cant flash to a new rom due to above reason
This is all happened when I tried to factory reset from stock ICS..
please help me with a good solution

try to uninstall yours device drivers from pc. Do a fresh clean and reinstall em. After that if u can t link your device maybe you have a broken cable.
Anyway u aren y be able to see install to zip option because your device isn t rooted yet and u can do that using odin or twp as i know.
^ what he said...your main problem is getting your tab connected to PC. Either reinstall your drivers or use another cable. Once that's done, Odin flash cwm recovery and then only you can root and install custom ROMs.

2. Did you try using it as OTG with your usb drive whether it connect as storage ?
3. If you can boot to recovery mode , you'll surely have the option "install zip from sd card" .Try look again into it.What's your recovery version ?
4. You can set your PC folder as Sharing samba and put your 10.1 root.zip into your sdcard.Install es explorer and copy the file as LAN wifi router.
5. Manual back to recovery and root it again.
6. Install latest recovery ver via odin again

You don't have the install zip from sdcard because you're recovery is stock...and the old ( update from sdcard option ) on stock recovery was removed in 4.0.4 ICS...So that's out.
Do as above stated and try a fresh install of drivers/or older set and a different version of Odin. I have an older version linked in my FAQ thread...but only use the recovery zip and root zip in the link if you have a p4wifi only tablet. The Odin version will work though for any tablet model.
I'll look around..I might have an alternative way...but I'm not sure. I'll post back later today, as I'm at work..:good:

guys, thank you for trying to help,
but sorry, none above can solve the problem,
for cable and driver issue ;
i already tried to uninstall and install various type of galaxy tab p7500 driver that available in the internet, and tried to connect it to my pc, my friend's and my wife's pc but still a NO, tried to change the setting>storage>choose usb pc connection, disable USB debugging, but still nothing
and i tried to use the cable to connect my wife's galaxy tab to pc, and it works just fine
so confirm : driver - OK , cable - OK
for ODIN ; NO GO
as related to above issue, i tried to download mode and nothing happen, on the screen only appear "waiting for usb" and no yellow signal from ODIN in pc, tried with Odin3-v1.85
for recovery ; NO GO
in the screen tab, it appear version Android System Recovery <3e>
it only have menu:
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
with the help from airdroid app(via wifi), i put cwm file recovery.img and update.zip/root.zip/superuser.zip for root, but none of them is detected in the recovery
so neither rooting nor flashing can be done here
for Framaroot app NO GO
i installed Framaroot-1.6.1 into the tab, it rejected right away, not supported
mobile odin pro 3.76 ; NO GO

@khaix
Seen this...maybe worth a try...
Quick STEP:
1. Connect TAB to PC ( with its corresponding USB cord )
2. While its connected ( MTP connected appears on your TAB )
3. GO to Control Panel on your PC ( Find the Devices and printer )
4. while in the " Devices and Printer ( SAMSUNG ANDROID will appear w/ a red marker saying " it has a problem connecting " )
5. Right Click the " SAMSUNG ANDROID " and press the fix problem .
6. then it will automatically fix the problem why your TAB wont connect to your PC ( Just fallow the troubleshoot steps )
7. Then its a rap.
If that is not an option...
Try uninstalling drivers and kies..reboot you're computer( make sure drivers were uninstalled ). Now reinstall drivers,but not kies. Or just plug in you're device and let it download the drivers..but no kies..
Try these two options to get connected and let me know...if they don't work I'll keep look...

As said before, you can't flash anything in your current t recovery because it is the stock recovery. About TE, for some reason you can't type anything using the stock Samsung keyboard. Download Google Keyboard from play store then you can type in it. But you won't be able to write the recovery.img into your tab because that would require root.
Try to go to Settings -> Storage -> press the menu button or the 3 dot button (whatever it is you want to call it) at the top right -> make sure the first checkbox is ticked.

Hi guys,
I already unistalled Kies and the tab driver, restart, install the latest usb driver and restart again, and connect my tab to pc, still nothing, but when i ttried my wife's tab, it immediately detected the tab, so the cable is ok, only something is wrong with the tab...
i also double checked at setting>storage>3 lines at right end corner>media device (mtp)
still nothing
ok, one thing i forgot to mention
this problem happen after I did a factory reset on this tab. now got "x" red cross at battery bar, and when i switch it off, it appear the charging bar like it is charging even it is not. and end up battery still draining even in off mode
also sim card cant be detected..

Sounds to me like you need to clean the charger port...it might have something crossed over...I've seen this in the epic 4g touch forum.. You're device is reading that something is in contact with the charging port...since its not reading the cable that came with the device..it puts the red x over the battery bar. You can't charge these tabs with just any cord..unless you're running a custom ROM..
The sim card I'm not sure...check that port and we'll proceed from there..

I just did that, clean the port carefully and tried again to connect to pc
The result still the same, not detected but only chargin like before, with red x on the battery bar
This is so frustating, am i reaching a dead end?
Sorry if you mentioned it before, but is your tab able to connect to PC normally? I mean without download mode and Odin and all those stuff.
And all this happens after you factory reset your tab using stock recovery right?

The x happens when connected to USB or charging? If USB then its normal since by default it isn't charging.

If its showing the charge icon when not plugged in...don't you think its a port issue...maybe something stuck or bent inside..I've seen this in the e4gt forum. I'm going to look at what their fix was..
Thanks for all the help you give in this forum..:good:

Look at this thread.. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html
I'm thinking it has to be the port or the 30 pin connector...I know. You said it works with other devices...but trust me when I say...technology is a fickle mistress...
Did he say that? Whoops, I think I missed it.
I don't know much about these ports so I'll let you take over this thread.

Hye Guys
as per title, i read most of the solution ( i think so) in this forum, but none can solve mine,
because..
1) my original usb cable cant be detected by my pc so I cant use ODIN
2) the android recovery does not have "install zip from sd card" , so i cant flash cwm and root
so, my tab isnt rooted and I cant flash to a new rom due to above reason
This is all happened when I tried to factory reset from stock ICS..
please help me with a good solution

I'm experiencing similar problem. I followed the instructions in Odin after bricking my phone via wrong carrier ROM update. I followed these stpes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I was successful. I also rooted the phone. Yet, I don't see the "install zip from ...." and all recovery apps fail once the phone gets into recovery mode.
Any ideas?

Hardbrick - Softbrick?

Hello everyone,
please excuse my bad english in advance.
I´m using a not rooted GT-I9300 unbranded german version with Android 4.3.
Some days ago I attempted to back the device up using clockwork mod. After pressing a START-Button within the app (don´t remember exactly, which) the phone went instantly black and did not respond.
I do not exactly know in which state the phone hangs - there is no button-combination working to set it into download mode.
I tried the following:
- USB jig: not working
- ODIN 3.10.4: does not detect the device
- Heimdall: does not detect the device
- Windows device manager recognizes the phone (cannot post image link) as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
- QPST Configuration also recognizes the phone as "Q/QCP-XXX" and shows "*Download*" in the ESN, Phone Number and Banner-Column.
Does anyone have a hint for me in which state my phone is stuck? And: if there is any cure I could give ??
Many thanks in advance!
Jens
For gt i9300, to enter recovery- hold home key,volume up and power key.
For download mode,hold volume down, home key and power.
If you are unable to boot the screen,can't enter neither download mode nor recovery,then sorry,you have a brick.
If you can enter download mode,its softbrick,you can use odin to flash recovery and roms.
If your pc is not able to detect the phone, try changing usb ports and cable as start,followed by usb drivers if not fixed.

Hi Dr. Varun,
thanks for your fast reply!
recovery mode and download mode don´t work.
Changing USB-Port doesn´t work, just alters Port in the device manager from e.g. com5 to com3.
The phone is still listed as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008".
Is there anything I can do with that Qualcomm-Tool?
Many thanks, Jens
If you can remember which app it was,it might make a difference. Till then,you can try installing drivers in your pc. I fear your phone is bricked. But i still sense some hope if you take it to customer care center.

Hi Dr. Varun,
yes. I installed CWM and intended to back up the phone before installing Cyanogenmod. I should have known better - and better read all the sticky threads here at XDA that Nandroid was the tool for that task....
The phone disappeard without any warning, just hitting start (but I really don´t remember exactly...)
Do you think there is any hope (except JTAGing the device)?
Many thanks in advance, Jens
Apologies,no clue from my side. Try asking the developers, they are much experienced and will know what to do. Prayers for your phone.
