I woke up this morning to my phone stuck on the boot screen. I have tried pulling the battery and turning the phone back on and it still gets stuck at the same screen. I am running alliance build 26. have also tried booting in to recovery but it just gets stuck at the teamwin blue screen. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'm assuming that you were on 4.1.2 with unlocked bootloader since you have TWRP on the phone.
You might have something that's become corrupted in data/cache. You can try to ODIN flash the stock recovery back to the phone (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792511), then try wiping the cache, doing factory reset, and see if it will boot up again. (This will wipe all your data on the ROM, so hopefully you have a nandroid backup). If that seems to fix things, you can ODIN flash TWRP back to the phone and then restore a previous backup. (If you were on 4.3 with safestrap... then don't try to ODIN flash the stock recovery because the bootloader is locked).
If that doesn't fix things, sounds like you may have to use ODIN to restore to stock 4.1.2, then run CASUAL again, etc... Section 1b on Droidstyle's guide will help you restore to stock if needed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207

Does your phone still boot into Download (Odin) mode?
If you could post the log from Odin, it should list the error that happened when it failed and this would assist others to help you troubleshoot.
Edit : This YouTube video shows one idea to try to get Odin to recognize the phone again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO7TVY2UXEY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I s isn't look to see what the error code was when it happened. I have tried the battery pull while plugged in and it still doesn't show when I plug my phone in. I'm starting to get worried the phone is shot but willing to do whatever I have to to get it back up and running again.

Can you confirm if the phone still boots into Download mode (what does it do when you press Volume down+Home+Power Button)?

yes it still boots in to download mode. at first my computer would read it when plugged in but after the failed firmware install on odin it will now not even read my phone when plugged in.

That's good that you can still get into download mode and means you will likely be able to fix it. I suspect that something happened with the computer when your attempt to ODIN flash failed...and even though you uninstalled/reinstalled the Samsung drivers , something is probably still messed up with the computer. If you have another computer available to try it on, you may give that a go.
Another solution might be to use the "System Restore" feature on the computer to restore to a previous point and see if that will fix things. If it does and ODIN can recognize the phone again, then you might try some of the tips that I've read on various posts....
Here's some of those tips for ODIN flashing:
-Always verify the md5 on your downloads to make sure they aren't corrupted. Here's a good program (WinMd5) for Windows to verify MD5's if needed. I noticed that the link for the stock 4.1.2 firmware on Droidstyle's guide doesn't have a md5. The md5 for stock 4.1.2 VRAMC3 firmware should be MD5: d04cc7e7717f60b06ce82ffdf85703cd. If that doesn't match with what you've got... then you may try to download the stock firmware again from this link (KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 ) and then verify the md5 again.
-Verify the md5 on your pit file -- it should be a md5 of: 6e874ba443d59ea114e48c1a57f3dfaa
-Make sure that your phone has at least 50%+ charge on the battery
-Disable Firewall / Antivirus software on the computer before running ODIN
-Make sure you are running ODIN as Administrator
-Try a different USB port on the computer (I've read where you should use a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0-- and also using the port on the back of desktop PC's seems to be recommended/ or the one closest to the power source --you'll have to experiment).
-Try a different USB cable (preferably the cable that came with the phone if you have it and it is still in good shape).
I know this can get frustrating, but I'm hoping that as long as you can still get the phone into download mode, that you can restore it back to 4.1.2. Maybe others will also read this thread and chime in with some additional tips or ideas if none of this works. Doing some more searching in the XDA threads and Google will also probably give you some more ideas.
:fingers-crossed: Good luck.

If the phone boots into download mode, I wouldn't give up on it until trying everything. What have you tried other than the Windows system restore? Trying different USB ports/ different cables seem to be 2 of the most common fixes I've read about for this issue.
Does your computer indicate anything at all when you plug in the phone? (You can check to see if the computer shows if any devices are connected by looking in the computer's device manager when the phone is plugged in. This link should help you: ( http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/504/how-to-uninstall-hidden-devices-drivers-and-services/ ). You can try uninstalling any drivers that might be related to Samsung/Android. Then reboot the computer and try reinstalling the Samsung drivers again. Here are some links for the Samsung drivers if needed: Official Download link for Samsung Drivers - -- (or these... Alternate link for Samsung Drivers, which are what I've been using).
Hopefully, you can get the computer to recognize the device and then try ODIN again. Are you using ODIN 3.07 from this link? If not, that's the one that is suggested for our phones.
If the computer can recognize the phone, but ODIN isn't working, you might try to restore the device with Samsung Kies 2.6, which you can find here - http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/.
Verizon also has a Repair Assistant which might be worth a try. You can learn more about it here: http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/80201/.
I hope that I'm not overwhelming you with information... but I thought it would be good to point out that there may still be options to try before giving up.
I've got to take care of some errands and do yard work this afternoon, so I won't be available to check back for quite a while. There are TONS of people on XDA with much more knowledge than me... so I'm hoping that if you can't get it fixed with what I've provided, that some others will provide some suggestions.
okay so i have tried almost everything that has been suggested to get my computer to recognize my phone. i even plugged it in to another computer last night and even that computer did not do a thing once plugged. have tried different cables and different ports and so far nothing. very very frustrating i frickin love my gn2 and was hoping to get a few more months out of it until i could afford a note 4. thanks for all your help if you can think of anything else just let me know im willing to try anything to get it back up and running.

Hi bluedevils0000,
Unfortunately, without a that error report from ODIN, we're really just guessing on why the ODIN flash didn't work. Did that other computer that you tried have the Samsung Drivers installed on it... and were there any other mobile device drivers on it that might have caused conflicts? Do you also have Samsung Kies installed on your computer? .... if so, it might be causing conflicts.
Do you know what percentage your battery was at when you tried to restore with ODIN... and is it currently charged to at least to 50%? I've read a couple posts where the battery needs to be charged for the flash to work properly... so if your battery is old, I'm wondering if it's went bad and if charging it fully could make a difference.
If you haven't plugged the phone in to the computer yet and looked at the Windows Device manager to see if the phone is showing any sort of connection at all, then that would be my next step. Look to see if there are any yellow exclamation points on any of the devices--like the picture here:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Maybe try the battery pull trick as well when looking at device manager with the phone plugged in. There's an option in Device Manager to see hidden devices, so make sure to enable that. Let's hope that your computer will show something in Device Manger when you try these things. You can try uninstalling the Samsung Drivers again, then try manually uninstall the devices in Device Manager that look to be related to Android, adb, mass storage, portable devices, etc... and see if that makes any sort of difference. Unplug your phone and reboot the computer afterwards... then reinstall the Samsung drivers (the ones linked in my previous post). If you don't know how to manually uninstall devices, you can get this info through a Google search.
I'm running out of ideas... but I would say that as long as the phone goes into download mode and something hasn't happened that damaged your phones micro usb port, then there should still be hope to restore the device with ODIN, Samsung KIES, or Verizon's Repair Utility.
so once again i sat down last night and retried everything that i had been doing to get my computer to recognize my phone. i opened device manager and plugged my phone in and it shows absolutely nothing. even tried the battery pull while still plugged in and it still shows nothing. i had kies downloaded on my computer so i uninstalled it also unistalled all drivers again then restarted and reinstalled drivers still to no avail. im lost and running out of ideas.
If you went to Device Manager and chose to show hidden devices /rescanned for hardware changes, manually uninstalled devices in Device Manager that look to be related to Android, adb, mass storage, portable devices, etc..., rebooted the computer & reinstalled Samsung Drivers... If you have tried all these things, then I'm not sure why it won't show any sort of connection. It could be that your phone's micro usb port is bad.
Here's another web link that offers possible solutions to fix usb connection issues: ( http://www.wintips.org/how-to-fix-usb-device-not-recognized-not-installed/). Maybe one of these solutions will help.
Sorry.... but I'm out of ideas too and can't think of any other solutions if you can't get the phone to communicate with the computer.
Let's hope there are some other XDA members who can offer other ideas.
Did you delete the file that needs to be deleted in Device Manger? I ran into that before, I would run odin, then my phone would no longer be recognized until you deleted the correct file/port in Device Manager? I know it was mentioned above, just checking you deleted the correct port under device manager.

i have also noticed that when i plug the phone in to its stock charger i get the battery on the screen but it does not ever show the green portion at the bottom of the battery like it usually does when it is charging. it just shows the battery that normally shows up with the little circle in the middle and never goes any further. i attached a picture to show you exactly what it looks like when i plug it in to charge.

bluedevils0000,
Can you post the name of the file that you were ODIN flashing over to your phone when ODIN failed? That might help others help you.
The file I was attempting to flash was KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_use r_low_ship.tar.md5 it started fine and stopped half way through and would no longer do anything when I plugged my phone in to my computer.
That was definitely the correct file to flash to restore the phone to 4.1.2. I'm assuming you followed Section 1B of Droidstyle's GUIDE in development section and placed the file in the PDA slot in ODIN.
I wish I knew more ideas to try to help you to get the computer to recognize the phone again when you put it in download mode. It could be that your phone is having a hardware problem. I've provided all the links and ideas I can think of for now. You can bump this thread periodically to keep it alive to see if others will respond with additional ideas.
well thank you for all the time you have put in trying to help me resolve my problem. i truly do appreciate it and this right here is why i love the android community and could never stray from android. i will keep you updated but at this point i would have to agree that it is most likely a hardware issue. the phone wont charge and my computer wont recognize it so as much as it sucks now im stuck with a broken phone until the day comes when i can afford a note 4. once again thank you.

UPDATED. This will put you to STOCK 2.2! Using ODIN thanks to eugene373.
If you want stock and are able to get in to recovery and want a flashable rom. click here
This started as a thread asking for help, with the little help I got... and a little searching NOW this thread is to help other people who are having the same problem
ALSO its to show that a little searching on this forum, you will pry find the answers you are looking for.
EVERYTHING in here I found in the Bible, that is located in the development section.
This guide is for non hardware locked vibrants... if you are hardware locked check out this threadhere
First off you will need to get odin and the correct files.
I have packaged eugenes 2.2 pit and tar(md5) files in a zip along with odin. these are all the files you will need and you can download them here
(remember this is for unofficial 2.2 if you want Official 2.1 files click here )
s15274n (thread here) has everything you will need in his [Tips & Tricks] thread AND MORE!
so make sure to check that out and read the "EASY WAY TO GET THE JI6 UPDATE" before you go any further with my thread.
Georgegreco86(thread here) made this awesome image (below) and it works perfectly....
HOWEVER some times there are some complications that happen that i cover below.
TO GET IN TO DOWNLOAD MODE
I have found the EASIEST WAY to do this is:
1.pull the battery out of the phone.
2.plug usb into computer
3.put the battery back in the phone
4.hold in the volume up and down
5.plug usb in to phone
it should bring you to the download mode in seconds.
now you should unplug the usb From the phone..
make sure the battery stays in, and open odin.
now follow the instructions below.
1. Open Odin3_v1.0
2. Load .512 into the PIT placeholder
(In this case s1_odin_20100512)
3. Load *FILE.tar* into PDA placeholder
(In this case Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5)
4. Make sure COM port has a number in it
This means your phone is connected, if your phone is not connected make sure you have the correct drivers)
5. Press Start!
6. If you it all works your done... if not keep reading!

If your phone is not connecting to odin.It might be because you need the correct drivers, thanks to TGA_Gunnman they are located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929.
I was able to just let the computer search for them and with a few clicks, had the drivers installed.
To install the Android USB driver on Windows Vista for the first time:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Found New Hardware wizard.
2. Select "Locate and install driver software."
3. Click "Next." Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.

searching on google i found a website called fractionalphones.com, the post was about this and it said what i had to do was reboot my computer and hit F8 (just keep touching it) and when it gets to the "safemode screen" arrow down to "Disable Digital Signature Verification"
Also a problem Some people had was the usb port used...
So if it does not work try a new port!

It wont let me remove the lag fix, v2 says i dont have the lag fix installed
and v1 says "you only have 346MB free on RFS, but 364MB used on EXT2. You must free up some space"
and then it tells me i dont have enough to install either v1 or v2 of the lag fix
BUT my quadrant is 2000+ so i know its installed.
i saw the other tread about this but it didnt really tell me much.

LOL, One of the reasons I suggested Odin. It'll "just work" even if you have the lagfix (at least it did for me). Make sure you backup everything on the SD card that you want & tell it to repartition. If all goes well, everything down to the internal SD card has been put back to stock.
I know when I did the lagfix, I had a PC app that just ran ADB commands in a batch file (basically). After a week or so it got unbearably slow and even the remove lag fix that came with it wouldn't work, so I used Odin to go back to stock.
--------
But, I think what it's complaining about is you need to free up ~20MB of space in order to remove the lag fix. Since it needs to move the files that it put on the ext2 partition back to the RFS partition, it needs at least that much space before it can move the files & then delete the ext2 partition.
bumping because I figured out what I was doing and I think this can help a lot of other people.

Odin isn't recognizing your phone. You should double check that the drivers are properly installed. Then, make sure Odin is on and click Reset if need be. Put phone into Download Mode and then plug it into computer.. A yellow box should appear at top of Odin, which let's you know you're successfully connected.
Hope that helps!

searching on google i found a website called fractionalphones.com, the post was about this and it said what i had to do was reboot my computer and hit F8 (just keep touching it) and when it gets to the "safemode screen" arrow down to "Disable Digital Signature Verification"
Also a problem i had was the usb port i was using... so if it does not work try a new port!

Perfect,thanks.Previous to the J16 OTA update,I just held volume down/power.
I flashed back to stock to make sure I'd get the update without a hitch,which I did.

Try re-downloading the files and doing it again, maybe you got a bad file or something? This should work and if it does not... like I said I'm brand new to this, I had a problem figured out how to fix it and figured share the info, if it does not work for you, hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.
The tinyurl link you posted is bad. Looks like too many people have downloaded and the account is suspended :/ can someone upload them to somewhere else? I really need them

try switching usb ports.. i remember that happening to me.. i dont remember what i did tho haha.
im sure a google search will help with that one thats what i did
Basically I've mad several threads before this, and have been trying for months to get my X10 working again, I'm going to put it into dot points.
What Happened?
- Using X10 as usual (FreeX10 rom, rooted)
- X10 randomly froze, took out battery to reboot, Powered On, Vibrated but did nothing further
- X10 does not work
What I've tried: Everything
- SEUS: does not 'recognise the device'
- PC Companion Repair: gives me a network error after putting phone into flash mode, does not go any further
- Tried nearly every version of Flashtool up untill the newest release
- Flashtool simply takes an unusual amount of time to flash then phone dies (flashing red light)
- The newest Flashtool won't start flashing due to having to put the phone into 'USB debugging' mode, which I cannot access
- Tried on various computers, different cable, bought a new battery, different internet connection - same problems every time
What can I do?
- Basically is there anything else I can do?
- I've tried everything, I thought the X10 was suposedly unbrickable.
* NOTE:
Also could the reason the latest flashtool is giving the abort error possibily due to a baseband incompatibility?
I remember changing basebands at one stage (do not remember which) so could this be the issue? If so how can I fix this/find out what baseband I'm on and the appropriate rom?
Having said that I've tried flashing a variety of different basebanded roms and all give the same error.
[EDIT]
Fellow member Mootmetal seems to be having the exact same problem. See his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158807
Please help!
Example of Flashtool and my problem:
Note look at the time: It takes way to long to flash not even one file and then the battery will simply die.

The only time you need debugging is after the flashing is complete so that you can get rooted. Prior to that it doesn't matter.
As for flashtool taking long i can think of two things. One, your cable has an issue or its not making proper contact. Two, make sure you have wipe data enabled. Make sure your phone is charged as well, 50% should be fine. I dont think this is an issue but remove your sim card and sd card and try again. Hopefully you have some luck.
That being said I dont think your phone is bricked.
Edit; Was your phone very hot when it froze the first time? If so something could have been damaged from that time, which is causing the prob now.

Using the latest Flashtool I get this error:
-Wipedata is enabled
- I've tried with a bunch of different ROMS (1.6,2.1 etc)
- My cable is fine, I've used various cables
- No my phone was not hot when it first froze
Ive had that error before. The message that comes after about debugging is standard regardless of the out come of flashing. They should fix that.
Since you say the cable is fine, is the phone entering flash mode correctly. Since the first image shows that you got it in flash mode yet the second gives the impression it didnt.
Take a look at the flashtool thread and look at the errors others are having with the latest one, 0.2.9.1. Chances are you can find something related.

The first image is an older flashtool, it seems to go straight into flashing but takes way too long. Battery then dies.
I've searched my problem a multitude of times.

Also when plugging the phone into the wall charger, it displays the green LED although turns off around 20 seconds later. Why?
Have u followed this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103343&page=3
^I've tried this, does not work.
Step 1: Phone does not turn on after
Step 2: Phone doesn't turn on, so obviously USB Debugging won't work
Also could the reason the latest flashtool is giving the abort error possibily due to a baseband incompatibility?

I think it's a issue from battery. I know you bought a new one, but I had a similar issue. My phone didn't enter in flash mode, because of battery issue and I tried many cables, bla, bla, bla. So I bought a "universal charger", put my battery about 10 minutes and put again in my phone. After that, my phone worked again and I got charge from usb and even my "wall charge" work fine. I flashed my phone with stock firmware and then I tried many custom roms.
Good luck

OT: well, take out your batt, and reboot your comp. start flashtool. plug im your usb cable into your phone with the batt out. move the ftf file to another location - anywhere, your desktop. okay, flashtool select firmware and the location, should be desktop. choose your firmware from there. then, when it says plug in xperia, hold back on your phone and while still holding back, put in your batt.
best of luck.

Followed the steps, although Flashtool only selects firmwares from the firmware folder
(Flash>Pick Firmware - must be in the firmwares folder) so I cannot select it from the desktop.
Regardless this again leads to a very lengthy flash in which the battery will most likely die. It's taking forever.
-------------------------
I think it's safe to say that my phone is officially bricked. I've been trying for months on and off trying to bring it to life although nothing has worked. What do you guys think? Let it rest?
I think its an issue of your pc not recognizing your phone hence you cannot flash it.
Device not found.
Try this driver
and install with global generic and follow the x10flash.bat procedure.1
me I unbrick my x10 with this method
Really i don't have solution for you but i had allmost same problem. My x10 was briked 2 months and it rebooted allmost every minute. I tried everything above. Nothing worked. And my warranty papers are gone. But i managed to get it to the warranty, without papers and they flashed it somehow. And i really tried everything.
Oh, and i had water damage too. There is little white water dedector and it had red tots. I'm suprised that SE gaved me new phone.

Select firmware location at the top of where the files are, and choose desktop from the side. btw, use flashtool 2.9.1 beta... or whatever the lastest is. it has a thingy at the top where it says firmware location. choose desktop and okay. then your fw should be listed and tada lemme know if i helped!

When I connect the two devices, "MTP initialisation" comes up on the Tab sometimes, and when I say that I have to keep unplugging and pugging in the damn thing. SO, it says connected on the Tab, but my PC will not recognize it at all. There is nothing under Device Manager, and nothing under Computer.
And Yes, all my drivers have been installed. I really wanted that ICS rom and this is making me frustrated. If I can;t get this resolved, I'm getting an iPad 3 lol. Please help!

Had a similar problem myself and it ended up being the PC usb drivers. Used a program on the PC to remove all the drivers for the tab off the PC and reinstalling them and everything went great from there.
I thought the program was called Dev view or something, but can't find it right now, but anyway google how to remove drivers from your win version and you should be able to manually remove the usb drivers pretty easily. I ended up removing every usb driver except my mouse and keyboard from Windows 7, installing the drivers for the tab downloaded from Samsung directly and haven't any problems since.
This may be a bit of overkill so you might want to wait for other fixes to be suggested too.
Good luck.
Edit: just noticed this in two other recent threads "MTP selected under settings/storage/USB computer connection" don't know if it's only related to ics, cause I don't have this option on my tab running Task 14 slim. So may be of no help what so ever.

lol, I will do that thanks.
Well, yeah sorry that I didn't reply via the PM as it tends to get flooded at times and I lose track of where and who sent the original Do forgive me for that.
The problem is the red X appears when you had the USB charge from the Overcome series, I'm pretty sure it's a lib file that conflicts with other ROM's and such, and they said there was a way to remove it, but it's dug somewhere underneath their thread, the best bet would be to attempt a factory reset, I do hope that your data is backed up via Titanium or something before you attempt this, because doing a factory reset via device *Not CWM* tends to reset all sorts of mods applied to the phone, and the user applications.
If you do attempt a factory reset do let me know You'd be surprised what a clean swipe can do (Problem is there isn't an external sd slot) so things tend to get left behind from other ROM's (The ones that aren't replaced anyway during installation)

How do you do that? Is that Clockwork, because I thought you needed to be rooted for that
Basically CFRoot is CWM+Root, CWM is just a custom recovery module made for flashing mods.

I appreciate your pictures and help, but I have no idea of getting to this point. Everywhere I read it says that I need to be rooted to have CWM, I am completely stock, no root.
Good sir, you don't need root to get to this point. Just flash CWM from the Overcome thread or anywhere, It's all over the Development section, Just flash it via Odin, I assume by this point you know how to use Odin? If you don't it's all good, I'm willing to help you with that too
I took the liberty of uploading CWM recovery for you,

Cheers,
Fitz
Edit: Oh good lord, I just realized since you don't have CWM you can't get the PC to recognize the tab itself, silly me. Have you tried putting it into download mode and seeing if the tablet is detected in Odin?
PS: Do you know what Odin is?

Ah no worries mate, it's all good I gain user knowledge like this Experience being the wisest mans weapon, they say
I think a combo of sdk/ADB and samsung drivers are enough to see odin. (if i remember right) Connected to odin without cwm many times before development. Uninstall any samsung applications and drivers(if applicable and separate from apps) Reinstall samsung drivers via installing "Kies", then install SDK... this combo should allow Odin to see your device. Odin is a samsung program licensed to samsung and therefor should not require root access or CWM.
If i remember correctly... sorry been quite a while
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Yeah guys it didn't work. Even when in download mode and the SDK thing, nothing is recognized.
I chatted with a Samsung service rep for like an hour, I swear this guy must have been a robot. He told me to do what everyone else on this forum told me to do and it didn't work. He just told me to file a service request....yeah no.
I called this guy a magnificent bastard and my homeboy, and he didn't even give back the slightest emotion
Well, unless someone else can help me, I'm getting an iPad 3....I'll stick to Androids for my phone but going all Apple for my tablets. Getting sick of the sluggishness of Honeycomb, didn't even get to try ICS because of this issue.
Ok.
If you're having problems regarding how quick COM/USB port changes, please read my solution on post 4
Story.
I bought this phone last week and he came with android 4.2.2
After 2 hours i was able to get the 4.4.2 rooted but then...
...i just installed s.th that i can´t remember that cracks my boot.img
The this is that 4.2.2 version had the bootloader cracked but the 4.4.2 hasn't. That means i can't push anything to solve my .img issue.
After a few searches i reach to htcmania witch they have 2 possible solutions for my problem. Here's the 1st and here's the 2nd.
Now.
After i spend to much time trying to install the drivers correctly (initially without success) my phone just died. I lost Lenovo logo and ended up with just a red light blinking. Witch i though...F&%K!!!
If there's anyone who ended up like me, here's the solution for a pseudo-dead-phone:
remove your battery disconecting the cable inside the phone
plug the phone into a PC through a usb cable
insert your battery back
voilá. phone back alive
Now that i was able to get lenovo logo back again...
... i need your help (Lenovo K910 fans or someone with a great idea )to understand something that's has been cracking my head.
How the hell should i put this in download mode?!
I mean. Each time i plug the usb cable into PC with the volume up pressed, the device manager was able to reach Lenovo_blabla_2008 (witch seams to be the correct port so that my phone communicate with PC) but after a brief moment it changes to lenovo_composite_adb_interface (and this one doesn't work).
Now the question itself:
When should i press and where to stop that happening?! Because when i start the phone with those keys combination the phone restarts twice and not just one.
Here is a picture with my phone in download mode.
I quickly press the download button but then the just just restarts and i loose the download mode

Solution and new problem
Well...
...after all these days without any success, today i must awake with a lamp over my head
Question: If our/mine problem regarding COM/USB port is the quickness that it changes to USB how can we slow it down?!
Answer: Plug an USB extension (big) between phone and PC and...voilá
Simple, isn't it?
Now i got another problem
Probably i made some mistake between step 7th & 8th on QPST tip for our K910 on HTCMania (you may use google translator to translate from spanish into your language, but english work better) and i ended with a complete black screen that doesn't respond to power button, no red light even if i unplug battery cable inside K910.
Any sugestion?!
Thanks
Here is a pic.
As you can see, device manager sees my port as QDLoader 9008 and it stays there.
QPST Configurator sees my port COM11 but doesn't recognize phone
and eMMC Software doens't connect on DW mode and it gives me that error
check this maybe usefull

@Crowds,

I had no LED, nothing, no Red, no blue.
Here i get 2 PM's from Editl, he has tried me to help, without sucess.
Here i share:
Hi,
I do not want to intruding, but I saw that you have similar problem as I had. I still cannot post on Lenovo thread as I do not have 10 posts on xda.
Your message:
“Hello, now my phone Stuck on Lenovo logo and locked bootloader, too.
had 1431_-dev on it witch unlocked bootloader and recovery from 4pda (VIBEUI_V2.0_1431_6_DEV_K910_NK_W_66FC_RR) on it
Today i flash Recovery TWRP 2.7.1.2 on it, with success... all fine.
Boot in recovery and wipe all data to install 1433_4_ST_k910_246M" from the bbs forum on it.Vol + and -
after flash i clear Cache data again.. twrp reboot and now i stuck on lenovo logo and cant acces anything,fastboot says locked.
what can i do now?
Boot with Vol+- dont work and twrp boot wont work”
Possible resolution:
I had the same problem as you are just with different rom. I have flashed RUS_VIBEUI_V2.0_1433_4_ST_K910_WC97_RR with TWRP 2.7.1.2 using standard SDfuse method. After that I wanted to flash another rom. I have entered TWRP with boot to recovery option and wipe the system, dalvik and system cache.
Tried to flash new rom over sideload option build in the TWRP but phone returned bad checksums. Immediately after, I have rebooted phone and stuck onto Lenovo screen.
Boot with Vol- and power did work and twrp boot did not work either, tried so many times. I finally find on some forum that TWRP 2.7.1.2 have a bug and that if you want to enter TWRP 2.7.1.2 you need to hook your usb cable into the phone and then hold Vol +, Vol – and power together and then to plug usb cable to computer usb port then TWRP recovery will show up.
I have succeeded after few tries on one laptop with Win8.1 pro 64bit. One odd thing is that on that Laptop I had a Lenovo drivers installed but those drivers did not recognise phone that had just TWRP 2.7.1.2 recovery even if I had use that laptop for so many time to flash the phone over adb using SDfuse method.
On the end I used another laptop with Win7 HP 64bit with installed generic adb drivers to recognise phone with just TWRP 2.7.1.2 and pushed rom thru sideload and finally I revive my phone back to original state.
I am hoping that you can revive yours as well.
If you find this solution fix your problem, please post the link on xda.
Cheers.

I have find similar procedure on one forum. Give a try, you do not have anything to lose.
"LED bootloop is it with blank screen and blue light LED? can't boot OS and can't go into recovery.
last time i once stuck in these condition. after some trial and error manage to go into fastboot by shut down the phone (hold power button for more than 10 seconds) and then hold vol + & - then connect cable to computer (or is it vol - only)
somehow i've experienced this kind of brick few month ago. my solution was:
1. turn off the phone using the PWR + VOL UP method.
2. press both Vol UP/DOWN while the phone still turned off and plug in the usb into the computer
3. you will feel the vibration.
4. while in computer it should detect and the phone will be in fastboot mode.
5. run adb command to either load the cwm or etc
i forgot what step i choosed that time but somehow i managed to flash back the system and revive the phone."
By the way, do you have or know where to download international rom VIBEROM_V1.0_1407_2_ST_K910 ?
Thanks. Cheers.

Hi @gekkorist
First of all thank you for your feedback :good: bad that one didn't came sooner :laugh:
I don't know if you're suffering exactly as i.
Like you, i don't have red, blue, yellow, orange, gfreen :laugh: plus...NO LOGO since my last step as explained on 4th post.
If you're stuck like i was (no leds but with lenovo logo) follow this BUT plug your phone with an USB extension like i've mentioned in 4th post. I´m pretty sure with this trick this will work on any PC despite OS used.
Regarding the solutions presented by @EdiTL both cases won't work cause this time i can't even turn on (?) my phone. This is very strange since if i plug in the usb cable pc recognizes that something is plugged but can't detect on QPST despite device manager recognizes COM port as QDLoader 9008
now i try with a 5 meter cable, same issue with short detect in 9008 and go after 2 seconds back to adb. no chance with qpst.

I'm convinced that WIN8 had nothing to do with it.
Everyone that i've talked to when i had my problema told me to put Win98 32 bits and i've managed with Win8 64 bits so...
Check my signature and follow everything without execption.
Like i wrote there it tool me 1 entire month!!!
...and unfortunately there's no other way, except...back to Lenovo and pay

So what I read your sadly history., your phone dosent regodnize it ether with battery? Did you get it succesful with or without battery? Cause I read HTCmania it is possible have succes without battery, is it true? In my case it has to be driver issue or driver signatures.... I downloaded win 8 x32 and will try it tomorrow without battery. Cause I quess my battery is empty. I regodnize that when I plug the microusb to the phone a little bit, the red light shows and I quess it will charge it a bit (~5min) and after that I plug the phone to the pc it shows qualcomm QDLodaer port not usb device. But It will discharge pretty fast and then pc regodnizes it as USBdevice. So what is my question is, Is it possible make that process without battery? Thank you, I really aprechiate your help.
P.s. Sorry my bad language, and one thing is sure. I wont send phone back in china. I´ll fight on my last day with this thing

Be sure that you install the correct drivers for COM port accordly to your OS.
And yes. I played so many times with my phone trying to get back alive that I ended with an empty battery (post #6 on my thread). By that time I had to remove the battery till all process is completed and restart the phone.
Like I said it took me 1 month until I was able to do with and like you one thing was sure...I won't send it back either
Good luck...you gonna need it

That your story gives me so much hope and that spark to not give up. Like I told you earlier, if I some miracle get that phone back in business I'll bye you a BEER!

Ok.
If you're having problems regarding how quick COM/USB port changes, please read my solution on post 4
Story.
I bought this phone last week and he came with android 4.2.2
After 2 hours i was able to get the 4.4.2 rooted but then...
...i just installed s.th that i can´t remember that cracks my boot.img
The this is that 4.2.2 version had the bootloader cracked but the 4.4.2 hasn't. That means i can't push anything to solve my .img issue.
After a few searches i reach to htcmania witch they have 2 possible solutions for my problem. Here's the 1st and here's the 2nd.
Now.
After i spend to much time trying to install the drivers correctly (initially without success) my phone just died. I lost Lenovo logo and ended up with just a red light blinking. Witch i though...F&%K!!!
If there's anyone who ended up like me, here's the solution for a pseudo-dead-phone:
remove your battery disconecting the cable inside the phone
plug the phone into a PC through a usb cable
insert your battery back
voilá. phone back alive
Now that i was able to get lenovo logo back again...
... i need your help (Lenovo K910 fans or someone with a great idea )to understand something that's has been cracking my head.
How the hell should i put this in download mode?!
I mean. Each time i plug the usb cable into PC with the volume up pressed, the device manager was able to reach Lenovo_blabla_2008 (witch seams to be the correct port so that my phone communicate with PC) but after a brief moment it changes to lenovo_composite_adb_interface (and this one doesn't work).
Now the question itself:
When should i press and where to stop that happening?! Because when i start the phone with those keys combination the phone restarts twice and not just one.
Here is a picture with my phone in download mode.
I quickly press the download button but then the just just restarts and i loose the download mode
GRRRRR!!!!!!
Thanks

Hey. I did exacly what is in your instructions (recover k910) for prepare things . Can you explane why my device show as a port but in conf QPST it just hangs on half a way? Here is screen what I mean. And yes, I installed win 8. x64 but still that anoying broblem. This is why I ask this about you beacause your battery was also drained like mine. ( I plugged the phone to the pc battery unplugged.)
Tell me what was your magical touch secret.

That's one the of anoying problems you'll find like i.
U had to be quick enough in order that QPST won't losse COM connection.
Most probably your QPST in that "midle way" disconnects as COM wright?
Well...keep tryng...i did it for one month

I did this. 1. (Disable signining) Installed QPST, reboot/(Disable signining). 2. Plugged phone to pc, got port/QHSUSB Bulk-> updated drivers win7x64 folder, reboot/(Disable signining). 3.Installed Lenovo drivers, (Disable signining). 5. Unpacked rom C:\bin/..6. Change the flash_local. 7. Open that Device manager and QPST config. AND THIS IS THE PART WHEN I SEE MY PHONE AS HALF A WAY PORT. It won´t dissapear there. It just connects and hangs on the half way, if i do the rest of instructions i got just emmc QPST hanging "download" and will search the device... aaaaand the result is "device not found"...
Actually, when I connect the phone to the computer it will only appear as in the picture and stays there. I do not have a big old USB cable. Do I need it for that purpose?
Hi,
I am having some issues with my phone. From one day to another it stopped working, did not turn on, stuck on boot streen.
I searched the net and found that I should reset firmware using Odin.
Installed USB Drivers and now I tried 5 different firmwares, stock and custom, PIT as well. It seems like Odin is having issues writing to the phone.
The operation ends with "odin fail nand write start".
I cannot get anything flashed to the phone via Odin - what can I do?
Is there a way to flash using an micro-SD or another tool I can try?
At the moment I have no MicroSD and no Sim inserted..

Are you using the correct version of ODIN? (3.07) ODIN detects your phone right? If so, and you can't send anything via PC, your phone's usb port is probably dead.
I tried with Odin 3.07 and 3.10. Yes, Odin recognizes the phone and starts but then fails after ~ 5-10 minutes while doing nothing

And your phone is in download mode? Have you put custom recovery on your phone? If so, you would have been able to flash rom.
The phone did not start after shutting it down one day. I had no alternative firmware or anything else installed before.
Wen powering up the boot screen is all I see "Samsung Galaxy S II" It does not do anything else and I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
Reset using pwr.up + home + power does not work, it kept switching back and forth between the android pic and "Samsung Galaxy..."
I can get into Download Mode though, that is what I did before plugging in to PC.
Download Mode shows the following
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
I just want to flash a German stock firmware and for the phone to work, not experiment with different ROMS etc..

What about trying a different stock rom (e.g. different version or from different region since all stock roms are multilingual)? Try downloading a different stock rom and flash it with odin.
I had already tried with another non-stock ROM, it failed at the same point.. But I will try one more
Heimdall can't write to phone either
I get the exact same trouble with the same phone (GT-i9100) since today.
Before that, everything worked fine : I used Cyanogenmod 11 on it. Today suddenly it rebooted and have been stucked on the Galaxy splash screen since then.
The only thing I can do is boot in Download mode.
I tried the exact same steps but with Heimdall 1.4.0 from Ubuntu (removed SIM and SD card, tried 2 differents USB cables, differents USB port of my laptop, tried to install Stock ROM) with no more luck than you.
Any help will be appreciated.
I recommend to start from zero, this way is clean.... with ODIN and to try different roms sotcks.... in the web of sammy... there a lot..... and try with an alone PDA it is sufficient to restore the i9100...
No need sd internal.. and no need sim to test de rom stock.
Advance users.... Tell me if I am wrong....
Leo
We do not have choice anyway (only Download mode is accessible) so we have to start from zero.
BTW, What do you mean by sammy web. Any link ? I tried the original stock rom I got with the phone with no luck.
Anyway it seems that Heimdall is unable to write anything to the phone.

what about getting into the custom recovery? Are you sure you can only get into download mode? Did you use the correct button combination? Since you have cm11, you can flash a different rom via recovery. Remember to factory reset, wipe cache, format system before flashing new rom.

Unfortunately yes I am sure to use correct combination : Volume Up+Home then Power during 3 seconds and still pressing Volume Up+Home does nothing, or to be precise only the Samsung Galaxy Logo nothing more.
Only Volume Down+Home+Power work and get me to Download mode.

With heimdall it seems the software is not able to end session.
For instance here is the output I got when trying to download the current PIT :
Code:
Heimdall v1.4.0
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Attempt failed. Detaching driver...
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...
Initialising protocol...
Protocol initialisation successful.
Beginning session...
Some devices may take up to 2 minutes to respond.
Please be patient!
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to receive session end confirmation!
Releasing device interface...
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Using verbose mode in Heimdall I get random errors when it tries to end a session (even with simple task as when downloading PIT data), and even sometime when it tries to simply detect the device (same thing under Windows 7 and Mac OS X):
Code:
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: 501862035
How to be sure it is a software problem and not an hard one (around USB module) ?
Is there any update on this issue?
I still cannot use the phone..
Does anyone know someone in east-western Germany (OWL) that is really fit when it comes to flashing Samsung phones??
After having let an official Samsung local repair store tried to factory reset it whitout more success than me, the phone seems to finally have become a real hard brick
Unfortunately I do not have access to JTAG stuff which may be the last hope for this one.
