[Q] GT-S7560GSMH dead - please help! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
Friend gave me GT-S7560GSMH to change rom in his telephone. I changed to CM11 4.4.1 but it was problem with camera it was taking pictures 90 degrees angle. Then I decided to try to flash other rom. But I try first change the recovery since there was some problems with recovery. So change to other version of CWM or TWRP or something else. I flash through CWM some recovery zip file and after that the telephone became completely dead. No any signs of life at all. Trying buttons for download mode and recovery mode, removing and put battery back, nothing at all, no signs of any life. Please tell me there is any way to resurrect the phone? To bring back to life? It is not my phone. I wish I could give back living phone not a dead phone. Hope to hear any help from you. Thank you,

Hi
That's not your phone but you "change to other version of CWM or TWRP or something else" and you flash "some recovery zip file". I'm not surprised to see a dead phone at the end...
Anyways try to flash a stock firmware through Odin. Download the firmware from Sammobile or Samsung-updates. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for the information, but the phone is totally dead, how can I flash through Odin when the phone need to be connected through the COM port, but it is impossible to do that since is death, or may be you know some other solution to connect through Odin when phone is completely dead?

Remove the battery then hold the buttons for the download mode and put the battery back. It could work... Try to flash even if there's no sign. You have nothing to lose...

Can you test if battery has gone dead......
Charge it somehow and do the above steps

[Q] I need some serious help/guidance!

It all started when i tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I tought it was to confusing to use the long way of rooting so i used to supercurio auto root kernel. I followed the instructions and everything went fine, but when the phone rebooted (like it said it would) it got frozen at the Yellow Triangle boot screen. After this i tried to flash many different kernels without luck, i tried to flash firmware roms aswell but that didn't work either.
The battery seems to be depleted and there is no way for me to open the Download Mode.
Im really new to the android world and i would be the happiest man in the world if i could possibly get the right answers.
P.s! When my phone actually had battery i couldn't open the Recovery Mode
No download mode then you need the USB recovery jig ebay/Google .
With a charged battery .
jje
But i can't charge it since the phone is stuck at the empty battery icon with the looping circle in it (which is stuck aswell). The phone just gets hotter when i try to charge it but i doesn't do any good at all
I think you'll just have to buy a jig and find a way to charge the battery again.
Maybe you can try a full battery from a friend?
Or charges yours in the Galaxy S II of a friend.
After that just try to reflash en wipe everything in cwm.
Good luck!
OKey, thanks for the reply but what does the USB jig really do? I have heard that it only boots the phone into download mode. But even if that works it still wont get the phone to operate as it should since i tried to flash different kernels before when i had battery left.
If i charge the phone right now, it will first show me the empty battery and then it just reboots back to the battery icon. If i press Volume down - Home - Power button it just says that i have to low battery and that it wont go into download mode. Recovery mode has not worked since the first time i tried to flash to Supercurio's auto kernel.
Plz help!
The experts should explain it better but the jig I think allows you to write data directly to the nand. There should be external chargers for the s2, you could try searching for that too.
I suppose what you should take away from this is that it pays to avoid shortcuts. I'm pretty sure it says on the cf thread that the auto root doesn't work on the phone.

Maybe you should try once more flashing a complete stock rom with repartion and pit.
A jig just puts your device into download mode.
It is very cheap on Ebay.
I don't think it is smart to try charging.
I once had a problem like this with the original Galaxy S .
I went to shop where I bought the phone and asked for a battery.
Just try to get a full battery and jig.
I think that is your only chance...
Good luck!
Have you tried letting it charge for some while? The S2 gets a little hot when charging so thats probably not a problem, if i were you i would let it charge for an hour or so and then try to enter download mode again
Thanks but if i plug the phone in with the charger nothing really happens. On the screen it's just a empty battery and within that battery there is some kind of circle that should be swirling but it is frozen, therefor i dont think the phone is actually getting any power...
Even if i set it up with a USB jig and a new battery, what kind of kernel should i use? And should i flash it with a new firmware?
I really have no clue on this one.
The phone only reacts to the button combination regarding download mode, but whilst in there it just says "low battery !! Can't download !!" and that's it.
Any more advices? I will die of happiness if someone helps me with this!
Thanks.
Looks like you need a service centre
or flash stock rom via Odin after accessing download mode via buttons or recovery jig .
You dont want a kernel you want full new stock firmware .
jje
Yea i got that now, but i live in sweden and before all of this i tried the swedish firmware version and it just says FAIL! in Odin.. im sure it would work out if i could get the firmware to reset the phone, which it does right? I guess i should fix me a battery since it seems i can't charge it properly. Any one who could explain it more detailed? It would help me alot.

Galaxy s2 Bricked

hello experts
i had followed steps to root my galaxy s2 using odin flashing and it was success, and unlocked.
The phone started well with a yellow Exclamation.
and the phone was unlocked.
after a few minutes the phone was very slow and got stuck. i restarted it.
again stuck, restarted but it dint start again. i thought battry was low and put to charge.
but it dint charge as well.
So i showed the phone to a repairing center and they said its dead.
Any help that i can start my phone again ??
Thanks in advance guys :'(
Try reverting back to the stock unrooted rom.
Go to Sam firmware.com and download the stock from ..flash it via Odin.. search ..google is ur friend..Don't ask the repairing shop again for advice (phone is dead...duh)

If you have an official stock ROM with official firmware on it, the repair centre should change your mainboard and basically making your phone brand new.

which version were you on? Are you sure the rooting went okay?
The USB-Jig must work. especially on GB. it even works fot me on ICS.
When you can not get into download-mode (odin mode) ór recovery you can't flash anything..
Hope for you that your battery is broke. or maybe one of the processors... Still got warrenty?

Not true at all .

Hi you cant do anything unless you have download mode on you device,
if you have JTAG box you can repair your device using this.
Its normal device getting heat near charging/USB component. This is not HW problem.

He already said it won't boot normally, to recovery, or to download mode. JTag or warranty are his only options.
[A] Galaxy s2 bricked
You have to know smthng:
- It is always possible to get to download mode, if not through the button combo (home+power+Volume_DOWN), then through the USB Jig
- If your phone is bricked, the download mode might not announce itself through the android robot: the exclamation mark will persist in some cases. One indication is that ODIN will be recognizing your phone on the COM port (USB that is).
Notify me if you needed further assistance
Which instructions did you follow?
If those are wrong hopefully somebody else will see this and avoid those instructions.

Is my phone bricked? If so, what do I do?

I was running Lite'ning Rom (v2.7 I think) until a few days ago until I flashed to the new version of resurrection (v.2.5.3), my phone worked for the last few days but now it seems that the battery is no longer charging either from AC or from USB. The battery is now at 0% and won't enter download mode and isn't recognised by Odin/Kies/etc...what can I do? Looking for any helpful advice at all. I think the phone itself is working fine apart from the charging issue! Thanks for any advice and apologies if this is a stupid question!
Edit: When switching roms, I followed the proper extended instructions (wipe data, cache, dalvik, etc.)
trojans63 said:
Well it seems to me that it has nothing to do with the rom. I looks like to me that your phone just broke, so i would go to best buy or some other company that fixs phones and have them look at it.

OK, I've managed to get it to turn on by leaving it connected to USB for a long period, it gets to the home screen (which is absent of icons) and then loads the android system page (which is absent of everything but the title). Then it goes off before I can do anything. Still haven't managed to get it into recovery/download mode though, it says that the battery is too low for download.

Ok, to update- I have reflashed resurrection rom via CWM and it is no different in terms of the problem. I have however worked out that it charges while in recovery mode which to me suggests all may not be lost...seems more like a software problem of some sort, no? I am downloading the stock 4.0.3 firmware and will flash via Odin, I'll see if that helps!

If you have CWM try NeatROMLite
this is similar to the stock.

Phone will no longer turn on after flashing Rom

I just tried flashing Android Revolution to my phone. I went through the whole set up process. Went to reboot then it went blank. Nothing. I get nothing when I plug it in. The computer doesn't recognize any device attached to it. I've tried removing the battery. If I leave the battery out for an extended period of time, when I place it back in the phone, my camera flash flashes really quick then back to nothing. It's as if the phone is completely dead. When I flashed the rom my battery was at 90%. I've used various roms on different phones and this was the first time I did it to my Galaxy s3 and this is the first time it's ever happened. Talk about frustrating. Any help would be appreciated but I'm not holding my breath. It doesn't look good.
Congratulations!
You're phone is now a piece of brick!
Board failure!
If your phone goes to download mode you can repair it by jtag and if it doesn't power on anyway and it's still under warranty, you can ask them to change your phone or repair that.
Cause there's no way to understand you've installed a custom os

Fairly certain I did but I'm pretty sure it's a moot point now. If I could get any sign of life, I'd use Odin to unbrick and go back to stock. Anyhow for now, it makes a great paper weight.

[Q] help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi
I need help with my new Samsung galaxy Sii GT-i9100. the phone comes with a stock android gingerbread os. I was looking to upgrade to jellybean but Samsung kies keep failing to complete this due to an unknown error. I then began looking into a supernexus rom as a friend recommended it. after a day of fiddling and searching on the internet for a way to do this. I found a different forum that someone had the same problem with the same kernel as i have. the answer was to install a cm-root kernel. After booting into download mode i installed this kernel and then my phone diden't restart. it has continued to show no other sign of life even after charing.
please help

First of all: next time use a proper title for a new thread, because this one isn't quite 'usefull'..
Now, you say your phone doesn't show a sign of life. Do you mean it wont boot? Or can you enter Download mode? If so, try to reflash the kernel, and make sure it's the right one. You could also flash official firmware via Odin, if you want to.

Sorry, I'm not an expert at this point. Search for threads about hard bricks, and possible solutions (or anyone else has to have a better answer). Good luck anyway.

First off, chill out.
Then read this and try some of the possible fixes.
If nothing works, come back and we'll tell you what to do so you can get a new phone claiming warranty.

my phone will not enter recovery mode or download mode. it will not turn on at all.
If you've completely bricked your phone. ..
Take your Battery out of the phone and charge with external charger. ..
After that use a USB Jig(should get on ebay, isn't much expensive) to boot your phone into download mode and Flash the stock Rom using Odin...
If this doesn't work then going to the official Samsung store should be your move..
Press thanx if I helped...
