[Q] US Cellular gs3 bricked? boot loop? no recovery! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated my US Cellular Galaxy S3 to kitkat and 3 days later it shuts off randomly and wont turn back on. i brought it to us cellular and they tried wiping it through the recovery but no dice. i have tried flashing it like a million times but nothing works, it just boot loops and now it wont go into recovery mode, just downloading mode. i dont know what i should do. i downloaded the android toolkit but i cant flash anything because the phone isnt in USB debuging mode and since it wont turn on i cant put it into it. any help would be great!

please help :( issues over 6 months now

Currently bought a sch-i905 4g lte verizon galaxy tablet.
Boots normally, and functions.
Last night i was writing a bootloader through odin, and accidently had auto reboot checked. I was unable to write the modem/kernel that goes with it and now have a galaxy tablet that boots into the OS just fine.
The problem now is though that i can not get my tablet/computer to communicate in download mode it says "waiting for cable"
as well as my recovery is a black screen of doom.
Through rom manager when boot the tablet up i can see that clock work is installed just not boot properly..
I need some help here guys since this is outside my knowledge of fixing.
i can boot into the android OS, but when i charge it while its on it wont actually charge, the X is over the battery, but if i leave it off i can charge it just fine.

unfortunately when i use download mode, it only shows "waiting for cable" no matter what pc, what driver, and what cable i use.
If i boot into normal android, the drivers load fine, i can transfer files etc . just cant recognize it in download mode.
so without recognition from download mode,
a blanked/blacked out recovery mode
im not sure how to fix it.

I was originally rooted, but no longer am as i made the errors in the process of returning to stock.
I have super user, but the binary isnt there so i know im not rooted anymore.
that was another option i tried as well.
exactly what are you are trying to do where it says "waiting for cable"????
and you may also got to ty hard reset for your device!!!

its under my impression that hard reset will not fix download mode or recovery mode.
well, i did a factory reset, and now my tablet just goes to the samsung tablet 10.1 and still boots up with an ALL BLACK screen.
once its completely turned on, I can hit the power button to dim it, then i hit the power button and all is well im back to android os.
now you've fixed my battery charging issue while my tablet is on, so i am forever grateful.
Next 2 things to fix:
Download Mode & Recovery

Please provide more information.
What happens when you try a normal boot, or a boot into recovery mode?
It seems that you can boot into download mode - does any device show up when you plug in your phone? Have you tried a different cable or a different port on your PC?

If it's not seen by your computer then you need to install the proper drivers. Odin should see your phone then

We'd love to help you, but can't since you seem to be unwilling to actually explain what you're seeing.
My suggestion: Plug your phone into your PC. The Verizon Recovery Assistant will appear. Allow it to recover your phone.
If that doesn't work, please consider explaining your problem without trying to fit it into a tweet as I still have no idea what you're asking.

[Q] verizon lgg2

I need immediate help please! my phone is the only communication i have. I rooted the phone a while back with superuser and titanium backup, recently i downloaded twrp and wasnt sure how to use it. I believe i flashed it with twrp and then today i tried to download the new update via ota from verizon. I am not savvy with computers or cell phone rooting. I need someone to walk me through unlocking or unbricking it. It will turn on and show the lg screen and immediately say "boot certification verify" and the screen will go black. Ive searched for hours and cannot find a fix to get my phone back to normal. Please help, im on windows operating system if that helps also. Ive seen some posts here but nothings worked. Thank you for any help

The only thing you need to do to get into Download Mode is turn the phone off, wait about 30 seconds, and then hold Vol Up only while plugging the phone into the PC. A few LG devices don't have access to Download Mode, but your variant is not one of them. If it did mess up so bad you only have access to TWRP, then you can try this:

And then try to get to Download again or there might even be an option from the TWRP Reboot menu, if I remember right.

it wont get to dowload mode or twrp just says boot verify certification pn the lg logo screen

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9205, Stuck in bootloop and Recovery mode is not working.

Hello, yesterday while i was cycling to work my phone suddenly turned off. i tried to turn it on but it didnt so i got the battery out for a few seconds and i tried again. my phone was in bootloop after that, at work i tried to flash few different stock firmwares on it but none of them worked since i cant access Recovery mode. when i do the buttom combination to access recovery mode (WMshua) it just shows a huge amount of white lines of text and goes back into bootloop after. i also tried to flash other recoveries using ODIN but none of them seemed to change anything. im quite out of possibilities and im not sure what to do.
Thanks in advance, Caikorn.

Bricked Galaxy ace 4 (sm-g313MU)

A friend of my brother had a problem with her samsung galaxy ace 4 (sm-g313MU) the phone didnt boot, it was stuck at samsung logo, so she brought it to me to fix it, the first thing i tried was to factory reset it, but i wasnt able to enter recovery mode, then i checked if could enter ODIN mode and i could, so i downloaded ODIN on my pc, the drivers for the phone and the original firmware, but after flashing the firmware the phone got stuck on a black screen, now it doesnt even get to the samsung logo, i tried multiple times and in different PCs and still nothing, i even tried flashing TWRP because i thought maybe with a custom recovery i'd be able to access recovery mode, it didn't work, now i'm stuck with this phone and i can only access odin mode.
I should add that i dont know what happened to the phone that i got bricked, she says that she didn't do anything
