Hi People of the world! As you can see im new to here so yeah i just might be in the wrong section...
So, I just got my shiny android a week ago, and know it sits on my desk, lifeless, like a brick. Like literally its dead! I don't know if I can fix it or the BIOS (if theres one in Samsung Galaxies) is fried, or maybe the motherboard is fried, or the battery overcharged, etc. But I just cant do anything! I'm totally out of ideas!
Heres the problem, I first rooted my android successfully, and played around with my android a while. But as you expect I just coudn't wait for the jelly bean update! So, I desided I would give a try to take the Russian firmware instead. That was already a bad idea, but I read on some threads that it would work fine, so I downloaded one from Sammobile.com. The real mistake? I downloaded the wrong phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance NFC Version;GT-I9070P The one I downloaded was UnNFC version; GT-I9070. Well, I didn't realize that, and proceeded with entering download mode and eventually flashing the PDA file from Sammobile with ODIN. So I pressed start. It started the process, and after 5 min it said in blue: RESET. I saw the phone rebooting. Now, another big mistake: I started touching the power button, which I shouldn't have done. Then, instead of waiting, as soon as seeing the thing wasnt booting, I took out the battery and unplugged the USB cable. Then after a while the PASS appeared in green. So it went successfully? NONONO Now it wont boot! More specifically, it wont TURN ON! like it wont whow any sign of life. As if it had no battery or USB.
Today I discovered, If I hold Vol UP+Power+Home when its connected to my PC, it makes the beep, shows that it failed to install the driver for "U8500 USB ROM" What the (*^&(&%*(&^&* is that??? Also, in 5 seconds, the device disappears, meaning that I must hold the button combo for another 20 seconds.
So, I've got no connectivity to ODIN, nor Kies, and I cant go into download mode, nor recovery mode.
Any Help?
Pleeaase if you can help youre a super god of androids!
ok, so if I understand correctly, You can't even turn on a phone - no samsung logo, no yellow triangle, nothing, right?

Exactly. Nothing at all.
The only evidence that its not fried is that the computer detects it as U8500 USB ROM for 5 seconds whenever i hold the power button or any combination. Nothing on the phone though.

Yeah i think I should take it to service too, but I want to try at least first:cyclops:
I've just repeated exactly the same steps as the OP on my GT-9070P and have "successfully" bricked my two-week-old phone. If someone happens to find a solution, please share. :crying:

Ikr its really bad to break your phone as soon as i get it. Worse, for me its a few of days to my birthday! Worse thing that could happen. I will PM you if i happen to find a good solution. Also, to make it really the worst thing, the GT-I9070 is one of the less popular phones (not like the s3). The NFC version? Even rarer! So not only are there not many developers working for that phone, not many people have really encountered problems with the phone at all.

Please help! I also bricked my Samsung S Advance I9070P after downgrading from JB to GB, since JB was updated for India I9070...but the phone bricked after downgrade. Everything was successful and it had auto-rebooted after the downgrade and stuck with Start up screen. When I removed battery and tried again..it bricked! No recovery mode, No download mode, no power on.

Putting generic/non-descriptive titles, especially silly ones like "Urgent help" do not make people help any more quickly and in fact will slow down help because many people simply ignore topics that are not titled correctly.
Also, This topic has been discussed MANY, MANY, MANY times over so you have no need to create a duplicate topic and then sit there and wait for answers when you can help yourself by looking and reading.
If your phone has simply died and wont turn on then its dead and you will need to replace/repair hardware. In the very least try a new battery.
Have you tried download or recovery mode or a USB jig??
Also it would help if you were honest because diagnosis/fix may be more relevant, have you tried flashing something to your device?
And everyone here should stop whatever else they're doing to 'urgently help' you why exactly ?
I don't see why this is urgent at all.
Hi
I'm new here so sorry if i do any mistake in my post. And im french so please forgive me my errors.
I've research like a maniac all over the web, i looked in like 109372949927 forums and XDA seem to be the one who help the most.
Ok here is my problem and i just dont know where to start, i never read that someone had a problem like mine and im serious when i say that i looked everywhere, i looked everywhere at least 4 hours a day for now 5 weeks. So imagine.
I have a Ulefone Be pro by mediatek... Yup cheap chinese phone but it was working like magic.
Then one day while i was shopping on ebay, my screen froze and my phone was unresponsive .. So i took out the battery.
To my horror, when it turned back on, its like if i did a major factory reset, all my app, my picture , everything was gone. And also, it was written on my phone, no service. Its not working either for txt or call or what ever, just the wifi work.
Also, when i turn it back on, i notice that my phone internal memory was completely saturated by some system file , i mean completely full ,so full i cant even sync an account to go to google play store cuz the memory is to low. I cant take a picture also...
So it doesnt recognize my sim.
I did try to flash it with sp tool, with the same rom, with a different one, with download only and the other one with the preloader select,i did all the option available in the recovery menu, but nothing is working. At all.
My phone tell me that i have no app at all to make phone call or txt even if the built in one are in there
Also the battery is getting empty really quicly.
I have unknown imei, and everything in about phone is unavailable...
I really need help of someone... The company where i bought it are so unprofessional.. Never ever buy from gearbest. Ever. They answer my email 6 days later and make my warranty pass cuz they were taking to much time to answer. I mean i have my phone for 2 month... And they are really really bad... They dont want to help.me at all always sending the same copy paste message... Uurrgghhhhhh
With all the research i did i didnt even come close to find someone with this problem. Even on french forum some guys try to help me but it just didnt work...
Seriously its like a quest this problem so i need a experienced adventurer to help me. Im not rich at all and it took me time to put money aside for this phone and i cant buy an other one. I just cant.
And the phone turn on so in my head im sure there is something to do to fix it... Please please please help me
Hello, this happened recently and id appreciate very much if someone could help me with this.
So, my phone is about 1,5 years old and been working on fine, but then this happened:
My phone shut down, and i cant get it back on.
Phone responses when i try to power on with one vibration, and after that instantly with 3 more vibrations.
Same thing happens when i put the phone to reload, or connect it to computer.
Im not really sure is there anything to do, it would be very important to get it atleast back on.
Ive tried to search from internet and asked from local phone store, but they didnt know anything.

Try to reboot in flashmode and flash it
Hello everyone. I hope this is the appropiate section. I cant describe it well enough cause english isnt my mother language and i dont use it alot. My brothers Xperia E4g have a really wierd problem for some time now. When he gets a call, notification or an alarm goes off, sound start dissapearing and appearing untill touchscreen gets unresponsive or whole phone restarts itself. I dunno if you understand me but i hope you do. I did reflash the firmware with flashtool and problem is still there so i kinda doubt its a software problem. When we play music on it or test speaker in service menu everything is ok, problem starts with a ringtone, notification or alarm, not always tho, sometime everything is fine. We went to a friend who work with phones for years and he doesnt have a clue what could be wrong, its a first time he sees it. I also have to mention that the screen is cracked, he got it like that a year ago and didnt want to change it, but everyting else works fine except touch in few places. Anyone have some ideas maybe? Thanks for your attention.
