[Q] Stuck in download mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am COMPLETELY NEW, to the wonderful world of rooting, bricking, etc. I have recently used poot. apk, as well as ministro II, and after obtaining root access, I started to backup my phone. When i started, my phone, which is an LG Optimus Elite, has gotten stuck in downloading mode. To be precise, the phone has LG at the top, and under it, in a gray box. It says, " Download is in progress. Do not disconnect cable." Ive tried removing the battery, nothing. Tried to do a hard reset, and it doesnt even so much as flash. It has been stuck at this screen for a week now. I have looked through multiple videos, and threads. Still i am without my phone, and i really do not want to purchase a new phone. Can anybody help me please???

Yes, i have removed battery, and charger. Now the phone will not turn on unless plugged up to the computer. Even then, there is no need to activate power button. The phone automatically comes on, with the same, " Download in progress", screen.

Longer than 15 minutes?

[Q] hard bricked or what? help plz! :'(

Hi!
I have the samsung galaxy note i717, a few days ago the phone shutted down by itself while i wasn't ussing it, it read online that it was too much apps. i did the soft and hard reset and i had the same issue, so i read the next step was a factory reset. so i did it, and wipe the cache. after that, the phone started to reboot/restart by itself while i wasn't using it or wasn't charging... i did the factory reset, reboot it and even reinstalled it the firmware again on kias, but, the problem keep happening. today i left it charging for a long time and the phone won't turn on, it doesn't even show the battery logo, no download mode, no safe mode, no reset mode... and i think it is hard bricked. i read about jtag, changing the motherboard, or use a jig... i want to know what u guys think about this... i bought it on ebay and i would have to return the phone otherwise, so i'm trying to fix it by myself...
ty :fingers-crossed:

I've kinda seen comments that jtaggn is like pretty efficient but you would have to do alot and jign plug tht thing and c if it will wake it up. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't depends.how bricked the note is i guess a more direct app is jtaggn

I've read a few posts where some users have issues with the power button sticking..
Try different USB ports on your PC if you can access download mode your still good.

JTAG is for a phone with the rom from another phone flashed to it. You can't enter recovery and Odin doesn't recognize it. It is the only way to bypass the boot and flash the correct rom.
Jig is for phones that won't go into recovery by software or buttons.
I think you have a battery issue. Trade with someone, then you will probably need the jig ($3.00 from ebay) to get into recovery.
well guys thanks a lot! but, i took it somewhere and the dude changed the battery nothing hapened and he told me i should just return it and i did. i loved that cellphone!

[Q] Why won't my Samsung Galaxy s3 work??? I haven't touched it!

Arrrggg my beloved Galaxy S3 is completely broke....
It is still under warranty however the screen has a small crack at the bottom (been there for months and doesn't effect phone) so my network said the warranty is now void...
I was using my phone, i put it down for a minute, when i picked it back up the Splash screen was on, and the phone wasn't doing anything!
I haven't messed with the phone and never even considered rooting it, i have no knowledge of this stuff!
What do i do??? I can get it into download mode, however, that's as far as it goes, it won't actually connect to the computer, the computer recognises it and makes the connection sound but it doesn't do anything. I've downloaded Kies and re-downloaded the samsung usb drivers, but still nothing? Only the battery charging sign comes on, but it freezes at the battery logo.... When i press volume up, home button and power button, it will load the splash screen, then thats it, it freezes on that... What could the problem be??? What can i do?
download Odin and flash a stock firmware for your region from sammobile, you may need to do a factory reset after. this should bring the phone back to life.
Also a track usually does not void warranty, I had one on my s2 and it went back 3 times no problem

Thank you for your reply.. Do you have the link for the sammobile for o2 uk? I've been looking all over the site for the last week but can't seem to find it!
I have sent it off for repairs, but o2 sent it back to me and said they won't fix it because there is a crack therefore warranty is void now.. So i'm stuck! I was hoping to keep all files on my phone as i lost my dad last week and had loads of pictures of him from a few weeks ago that mean the world to me.. But my phone has been broke for 4 weeks now so i'm pulling my hair out, if need be i will do whatever it takes just to get my phone going again..
I'm a complete noob so please bare with! I've done so much internet research and not really understanding flash and firmware etc.. I have downloaded Odin3 though

Bricked i777 - should I send to MTV for JTAG?

Hi everybody.
I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.
I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.
So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.
Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...

I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.
I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.

Nothing works. Not even the charging screen shows up when you plug it in. No button combo is working.
Phone is not detected by ADB

Yeah I got it from XDA, it was supposed to be something to enable PicasaSync.
I already sent it to MTV so I think we can close this thread.
Thanks all.

Of course not. Flashed it with CWM recovery (or whatever recovery CM 10.1 comes with) as stated in OP.

My phone is stuck in headphone mode

I'm not rooted and running 4.1.2. All of the sudden I'm stuck in headphone mode. I was not even using headphones at the time. It just popped up on its own. I have tried to plug something in and out several times but nothing works. I even tried jamming a small screw driver in it. The only thing I have not done is factory reset. Any other ideas that might help?

Did you try rebooting ? (You probably did ) so....
-Squirtle
Try powering down your phone then take out the battery for about 30 seconds. The place the battery back in and boot your phone.

ZTE Supreme

Is there ANYTHING for this phone at all?
Sent from my N9810 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I have the same phone, but I cannot find ANYTHING about it. It has so much bloatware, and I need to root out to get rid of it, but i can't find any successful methods.
Sent from my N9810 using xda app-developers app
This is the root method page actually. Its the discussion about this phone. But the method is for the xperia I think.

Okay so me and my buddy rooted his zte supreme all went well then he froze some system apps and installed a few to many fonts now we are stuck in a boot loop. I'm not all that new to android and adb but I can't get it out of this. I was wondering if there was any way to completely while the device to a blank canvas and start over I don't care if the phone can be used as a phone anymore, I will be satisfied with just wifi. I have a stock boot img system img and recovery. But everything I do in adb ends up with a fail. When I boot my device all I get is a flashing android word. Is there anything at all I can do?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda app-developers app
I would recommend if you can bring up recovery doing a system reset and that should cut everything out. But if you have no recovery loading the phone up with the boot.img you have will have to be done without the sim card in.

So im thinking if the root method for the Xperia L works for this phone maybe the roms will work with a modified resolution and stock kernel.

I noticed this is a ZTE supreme forum so maybe you guys can help.
I got a notification of an update for my phone last night. I said yes not thinking anything of it and after it updated the phone stopped working, It won't connect to the virgin network. Cant open camera. It freezes everytime I try to go to an app and it just goes slow. Also restarts sometimes. What can I do?
Help, I'm a n00b
I have had my zte supreme for about 6-7 months now, and i plan on buying a new phone in 6-7 months, so I'm at the 1/2 way point with my phone. I want to root my phone and put android 4.4 on it. If anyone could lay out the exact steps that i could do, that'd be nice.
