on the recovery screen the volume buttons dont work so i cant scroll up or down
if i let it "boot" normally it gets to this screen
but as the touch screen doesnt work i cant go no forward
no as i say i bought it like this so i knew the risk but is there anyway to fix it?
ive downloaded ADT but im hesitant to use it as i may totally bugger it if it not already buggered.

Likewise so just guess .
perhaps i should have tried booting into download mode before downloading a ROM and reading up on ODIN as i cant boot into download mode, it just boot as usual to the 2nd pic above

Thats the startup screen on a new install .
Guess would be the touch screen or digitizer .
it was a risk i took, u win some u lose some.
OK, a bit of success, i wasn't able to enter download mode from power off but managed to get into it from power on holding the same keys, problem now is i cant get ODIN to see my device, i have the latest drivers too.
ok, managed to get it connected and flashed but it appears to be in aboot loop, will head to the Odin thread for advice.
many thanks

Now I get that and I can't get into download through the button combo
I think I might be hardware locked since I got my phone replaced like a month ago
Is there any way out of this?

Plugged it in, Started Odin but nothing happened
hm.....do you have the drivers installed correctly?
Yea
Im fairly sure I do
I had been using the storage and everything on it, transferring music, roms and whatnot
no you need certain drivers for odin they are right herehttp://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/
I had the same exact problem yesterday when flashing simply honey 3.5 yesterday through odin. I believe you can still enter download mode just make sure you are pressing the VOLUME UP button only and not both at the same time. If that doesnt work remove your battery,sim card and sd card, and try it again odin will recognize it eventually. Try different usb ports on your pc too that seems to work for me. If odin doesnt work well you might not have the drivers installed.

Hi...
I was playing around with my phone earlier and not playing close attention to what I was doing (nagging wife in background) I decided to flash a new ROM and I didn't notice I flashed a 19100G on my 19100. As I wasn't looking what I was doing something flashed up on the screen and poof! Well now my phone wont start and it stuck on the Galaxy S2 start screen.
I was previously using CM10 and had CWM recovery installed.
Is this a brick or soft brick and how can i fix it?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you :crying:
can you get back into recovery or download mode
try reboot into download mode.
i once installed something, and after reboot, it wasnt going further than the samsung logo and screen flashes. so wasnt getting into CWM.
only way out was going to download mode, and flash an odin-capable rom. (bizarrely, the rom worked very well with my phone, longer batt life, performance, etc. ..
Download mode:
Power your phone completely off and make sure it isn't plugged in via USB.
While holding the Volume Down rocker and the Home key press and hold the Power Button.
I just got into download mode.
Just downloading an odin capable rom.
Will report back in a little while
Thanks
Okay so I downloaded Odin and a recovery file but when I start Odin I get a yellow box but no numbers?
I chose a the recovery file (PIT) and pressed start but got a failed message in red.

In ODIN you should choose file in PDA. not PIT.
And you should find the file your looking for here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
if there is only .tar choose pda
other way
phone - pda
csc - csc
modem - phone
edit : btw i think your phone is not bricked.
First of all you are in the wrong thread..And your phone is not bricked..Just follow the instructions given above to use odin to flash a stock Rom. You will be fine
I downloaded I9100XWLPT for UK Europe and used Odin v3.04 and all went okay. Phone is back up and running again now
Thank you so much for your help! I really thought I was frazzled there for a minute lol! That will teach me to flash and not pay attention...next time I will have to make sure the wife isn't around
I guess I am now back on stock and will have to re-root my little baby?
Again thank you for all your help...I went into panic mode for a little bit and my mind got clouded so I could not see a solution. I knew it had to be something so easy.
Very much appreciated :good:
And sorry it's in the wrong section, where should I have posted it? If there is a friendly neighborhood admin around could he please move it to the correct place?
Thank you

If u have any official cm rom for ur device then flash it via Odin.
And if it doesn't work, try out loading the CSC and BL file with the PDA file. This might work.
tra_dax
mine did the exact same thing with that goofy lower half of the screen. It went away after a reboot and I stopped using the phone. Going to upgrade to 5.1.1 on the chance it's a software problem if it happens again.
I took it in guarantee service they said motherboard is dead need replace
The same here ...
This confirmed that the main board is damaged ??
I flashing an official rom and done correctly, but the restart stay in bootloop ...

Hey guys,
So recently I got a SM-G928X Live Demo Unit. I just read that flashing G928F firmware is completely fine and so I did aaaaand well, I am stuck in recover. Forgot to flash a custom recovery, also the phone has Factory Reset Protection so I am here with:
Android Recovery
MMB29K.G928FXXU2BPB6
samsung/zenbltexx/zenlte
6.0.1/MMB29K/G928FXXU2BPB6
user/release-keys
volume up/down and power
____________________
then goes normal recovery options
and at the bottom of the screen, there's
Supported API: 3
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
Anyway I can't get to download mode, cant wipe data, cant flash from ADB/SD Card. When connected to PC no software recognises the device so yeah, that's a great situation to be in, right?
So if any of you have any idea how to make this thingy work again, I'm up for anything.
Aand I'm in the wrong forum right.. Sorry for that
Thanks

Well one thing might still work. You could try and make yourself a download mode dongle. Just google Samsung download mode dongle and try to make one. IIRC all you need is a microUSB plug for the phone and a resistor with a certain resitance (can't recalm the value). Then plug in the microUSB plug and just hold the resistor between two ends of the plug. This should force your phone into download mode and you should be able to flash it again. Good luck!
Edit: found a picture showing you what you need to connect

You can also find Samsung download mode jig dongles pretty cheap on the web. But going to a hardware store and getting a USB connector and a resistor just was the faster way to do it for me.

Hi, I have someone's old s7 edge which I'd like to use in place of my A10e lol, it still has their password on it tho. The screen seems to have some really weird issues, if I power it on using the home button or power button half the time the screen will be extremely dim/green and half of it will flicker. It looks and works perfectly fine the rest of the time though. I got it to the "recovery booting" screen, but the screen just flashes then goes near-black (still slightly glowing, doesn't turn off) then boots normally about a minute later.
I've tried around 40 times and can't get it to go into recovery mode. I have no idea what I'm doing but I put it in download mode and tried using Odin to flash it with files I got off sammobile. It didn't even connect at first but did after I installed Kies. Odin said it passed, the phone restarted, then just booted back up to the same lock screen. I then tried installing TWRP onto it, which failed saying it couldn't open the serial(com) port? That's where I am now... does anyone know if there's any way to wipe the phone?
@eggy1
If you've phone's Stock ROM ( ZIP file ) at your fingertips then you simply re-flash phone with this Stock ROM to bring back the phone to its initial state.
If you can access phone by means of ADB/Fastboot then it's really simple to do a clean install of phone's Stock ROM..

I can't get adb to detect the phone, but I flashed it successfully with Odin using the files from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-stock-odin-firmware-t3582821
It now seems to be stuck in a loop of recovery booting into the download mode screen, and occasionally into a caution screen that says no command.. should I try another rom?
@eggy1
Use SamFirm Tool what allows you to manually search and download the Stock ROM matching your phone.
