if youve been reading any of my past threads you will know that i made the stupid mistake of flashing 19k bootloaders on my vibrant to fix the recovery and screen issues with 2.3 roms. it had been running fine for a while, but i had to use adb to reboot into download.
i had used heimdall to go back to 2.2 while my phone had been on i9k bootloaders and it had worked fine
so again i wanted to go back to stock but the factory.rfs failed and left me with the phone to computer screen. first i used adb reboot download, but it didnt detect my device. next i tried just flashing on that screen because that has worked for me in the past.
but heimdall on my Linux computer didn't recognize it... so i rebooted still nothing tried going into download using 3 buttons still nothing. so then i went to windows on a different computer. i have the drivers installed on it and i have used it in the past so i know it should work.... but it didn't find my device....
any other way to get my phone to be recognized?
The phone to pc error screen seems to be a foggy subject with these phones.
theres threads which explain how some people have gotten it into download mode using different combos of inserting/removing cord and battery while holding buttons.
when i bricked mine, nothing on the net worked at all. i had to send it into samsung, after telling them kies broke it. i had a manf warranty.
You can try the jig, or try the 2 button volume combo with the battery pulled and then plug into the usb that is attached to the computer. The Variant that seems to work as well is the same as above but tap on the home screen right after you plug it in this has worked for me in the past. Or alternate between the home and menu lighted buttons........ that also can work........ don't know why but it does.... good luck
Once had my computer crash in the middle of a odin flash (whole pc crash not just odin) that yielded me that screen for a while. I know you already tried the bat pull and button combos with no luck, I would keep trying. Mine would not respond at first leaving me with a great deal of panic. in my case leaving the battery out and unplugged for a while finally got me back to download after about an hour of trying.
If all else fails, like the other guy said try a jig. do a search on it and make one as some people are trying to sell them at some cost.
Dude good luck really. We all take the same risk and hope for the best. No mater how many times we do these things we roll the dice. really hope it works out for you.

I have the U.S T-Mobile LG L9 I've spent couple of days trying to root the phone, I searched the threads here and online but every root method found was too complicated for a NOOB,I know some of you are rooted but some us are not and tried to follow directions but lost on the way.
All I am asking here if anyone can some how simplify the steps for us or have a video showing the process.

I agree with you. Its kind of complicated for us noobs. Maybe if I really focus and learn the steps I would succeed but its just too much steps. I heard Verizon Galaxy S4 has a simple root method.. i hope someone finds a simple root guide for us.

Its better if you study the guide. You won't freak out on the forum when something happens. When you follow step by step others will be able to assist as needed when you can convey where you're stuck. "It doesn't work" will get you more questions than answers.

What you need to do is read all of it first then try to root. The first page gets your phone ready for rooting. The second page gets your computer ready for rooting. The right before you start flashing the kdz file you have to set up the magic trick (replacement of the bin file). Good luck

Tried all the current methods to unlock bootloader and root. None worked and I am no noob. Some of the steps the phone doesn't respond how the guides say it will.....I'm starting to hate this phone. Lol
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I know it's frustrating but the method works. I've done it several times on this phone. Listen why don't you just concentrate on one thing instead of two. Go step by step regardless if you thing you don't need it just go through it. Rooting is not hard but it's not very easy either. Sounds like your experience is getting in the way of your progress. That's just my opine. Good luck!

I had 4.1.1 unlocked and rooted. I reverted back to stock and locked bootloader updated to 4.1.2 and had a bootloop. I ran the no you verizon and it fixed the bootloop but it won't give me root or unlock my bootloader. I would upload my pastebin but limited due to little posts.

for those having problems with roms pre vramc3 and are having boot loop problems I would recommend getting a usb jig on eBay or Amazon or making one.
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-make-a-usb-jig-for-your-galaxy-s2/
It'll save you a ton of time dealing with those finicky pit files and spending hours on Odin.
Then you can download whatever stock Rom and flash it with Odin!

You'll still have to use Odin and the pit files, all it does is boot your phone into Download Mode when you can't or have issues doing so.

Stop referring people to that thread of yours when phones aren't bricked. Immediately. Or I will deal with you. Are we clear ? :-/
If they follow those steps & the phone isn't bricked, they sure as fcuk will have a brick on their hands if it goes wrong.
This person's phone isn't even remotely close to being bricked, it's a simple case of 'Odin won't work' like 99.9999% of those cases on here, and the fix is usually very simple.
OP - This gets covered here so many times per week it ain't funny. Search for similar threads, there are a bunch troubleshooting steps you need to follow (This is the final time I'm typing that as well, from now on people will just get 'Search').

Yeah I get it :thumbup: (that's why the first line of the guide is meant to and usually does, scare people off), but if he eventually reaches the desperation point(no amount of flash attempts succeeds) , following my guide would be better than blind flashing of pit files(in a case where recovery is completely inaccessible my guide is useless) , which I have seen people recommending to do, if the user is lucky enough to flash a kernel and bootup the recovery, memory block corruption(it can happen because of reasons like phone turned off while flashing via Odin, removing cable midway of odin flash, and possibly several others) can also be effectively corrected.
Edit :I have made the guide a little bit more safer so that any noob who ignores all the warnings and go ahead with the procedure will stop after the first step if he/she is not having corrupted block's, effectively keeping him/her safe.

Wow. That's a magical fix
OP - You were told to search for similar threads, there are 6 or so other steps you haven't even tried once yet. Bottom line is, if you want your phone fixed, you're going to need to do everything and quite possibly do it over & over till it works. Nobody here can do that for you. If you can't be bothered trying 2nd or 3rd PC and go thru the troubleshooting steps as well on those if necessary, your phone is going to stay busted.
The end.

At this point I am assuming I did not install the right one. I have never updated via goo before. When I used it to search for roms it on;y showed me roms for my phone, so I assumed it was only showing me recoveries for my phone as well.
I believe it was this one openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-t03g.zip
After searching the goomanager website, I do see the phone specific recoveries have the phone name in the file name. DANG
2.5 is the most recent. You said no response to power button. What happens when you connect to your pc?

2.5 is the most recent, but like I said, now that I've searched the web, I am reasonably sure the file I flashed was not specific to my phone.

Sorry Amigo, that's a brick. But you can get it repaired. The repair is called JTAG and its not a do-it-yourself job. You send the phone away and a week later and $50 later you get your phone back. www.mobiletechvideos.com has all the details.

I was afraid of that. MY fault for not learning more about goomanager. It wasn't something I used much, and it bit me.Thanks for the help and the link.

I thought JTAGs weren't available for the Note?

JTAG isn't a thing. Its a process where inputs are soldered to the mainboard and the OS is flashed directly to the ROM.

Not sure how you attempted to upgrade but if you choose "flash ROM" it will ask you if you want to search for a recovery. If you input yes it finds the proper file for your device.

I am admittedly a "stupid user" as many posts on these forums will show, but I think this is what happened to me as I have flashed many many roms, but when I tried to update to 2.5 TWRP I created a shiney door-stop.
I had updated before manually but thought, wow, goo manager looks more simple and dependable.
I could be wrong! No way to tell for sure. But I "feel" like this also happened to me.
I think it is the right thing to voice it as a concern.

Could i trim the quotes a lot more? Yea. And I will. Could you find something better to do with your time, than to go on a one man crusade and remake XDA in your likeness?
Next time, instead of sounding like a judgmental 12 year old girl, send a PM and make a "suggestion", listing the reasons its hetter for XDA, and ultimately, yourself. But it's not your role, its not your job, to ensure others are typing the way you like.
Hey buddy, relax. I was agreeing with you about getting jig and JTAG mixed up. Notice my patient response to your question.
Why are you getting so worked up? So why didn't you follow your own suggestion about PMs? Your rant sounds a little harsh. Who put you in charge of calling out people you don't agree with.
That thing about quotes is my signature line. How many people quote a huge post to only answer one line from the post? How often in a face-to-face conversation do you repeat everything a person said? Everyone would think you're on drugs. The reason the search function is usless is because of the needless quoting by lazy people.
If the signature bothers you, you probably need to follow the advice.

I was having trouble getting TWRP to recognize my SD Card so I downloaded an updated version from goomanager. Flashed in TWRP, rebooted and the phone never came back up. It seems as though its dead. Can't get it to go in to recovery or download or anything.

I almost did the same thing today! Used the Goo Manager app and it started downloading twrp 2.5, and I started thinking, isn't there a 2.6? Then I realized, even more importantly, that the file did not have i717 in the name, and I knew past versions had. I thought the app was going to automatically install and reboot (according to the teamw.in website), but thankfully my internet was slow and I was able to cancel the download about 30 seconds in. Scary stuff.
I would definitely NOT recommend trusting this app to download recovery. Do it the "old-fashioned" way.
