[Q] I need help with my phone!!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an smartphone Samsung Gravity Smart (SGH-T589), A week ago I turned off, but I accidentally removed the battery. Next day, I tried to turn it on but I could not, It never started. I tried to start the phone in recovery mode but I could not. I connected the phone to my computer to make a hard reset, but my computer never detected the device. I have already installed the drivers from samsung webpage, but nothing happens. I think there is a problem with the boot, but I do not know how to repair that because I can not connect my phone to my computer. If someone knows how to repair my phone plese tell me.

Hey guys, recently got the phone second hand and was working fine, >downloaded kies and updated the phones software.
>Phone then was not recognised by pc when plugged in by usb(though would charge).
>i attemped to install newer software(usb would work when in download mode ) again to hopefully fix (odin)this but managed to make a mistake along the way and phone wouldnt do anything.
>realised it would turn on but had no screen so got it into download mode and put last working software back on(xwki8) and somehow it would come on and actually was usable

Problem on my Vibrant

Hi guys im not quite new when it comes to android.
last night i was trying to upgrade and flash a CWM on my friends vibrant whe it stopped. i turned off the phone when tries to turn it back on.... the phone quite turns hot and not like my phone when im flashing it.
i got all the files download and read all of the instructions before starting ofcourse.
first the phone doesnt turn on, then i manage to enter the DOWNLOAD MODE again but somehow the Laptop doesnt detect and gives a yellow punctuation mark on the device. i tried to install and flash the rom but it doesnt continue. i tried putting or plugging it to a diff port but still no luck.
can someone help me and answer this question? is this thing hard bricked = im screwed
any help would be gladly appreciated. thanks again guys in advance
Try a different USB cable as well as a different USB port.

Read that post, then, read the thread from page 1, just so I don't feel like I've had the same conversation twice in 1 day.
Shouldn't take long its only a few posts. See if this applies to your situation.
thanks boss but i tried the cable with my galaxy mini and it worked when i tried to flash and went back to stock rom. changed the port as well but still no luck....
the phone as well doesnt turn on like the way of a soft brick. a picture of a phone wanted to be connected to a pc, black screen it is though but the phone goes to DOWNLOAD MODE
Try reinstalling drivers from AIO toolbox. Open Odin as administrator. What does Odin say exactly? Is there a yellow box, if so what does it say in it?
i tried reinstalling the drivers i have downloaded but still no luck, odin detects the phone and when it doesnt i re-install the driver so the computer would detect the COM port of the phone. the odin doesnt push through and no BLUE bar on the phone it self. such as the indicator for the flashing. i tried as well running odin as the administrator but still no luck. so do you think that this could be a hard brick, i dont think so cause i can still enter the DOWNLOAD mode of it. the phone turns hot when im on the download mode. could this be a hardware problem.
No its probably not a brick. I think its a communication issue. I would still think its possible to fix it. As far as it getting hot, not sure but the fact that it gets to download mode is a beacon of hope.
I've got to go to bed, will be back tomorrow to check on this.
yeah i hope thesame way too man. thanks for the reply.... time for you to take some rest. thanks again. i'll post the reply if ever the phone gets fixed
thanks for everything man, the phone now is resurrected after JTAGGING. but i know that those technicians who charged me 1000php just did the flashing on ODIN. i know the thing i've done wrong why it didnt work the first time. now it is running up again. the firmware that was flashed was for TELUS. it now shows T959D. i'll follow the guide fully on flashing and upgrading this thing
I had the same problem as you this morning. I tried driver, after driver, after driver and nothing worked. Eventually I gave in and used my sister's laptop and that did the trick. Mabuti ayos na ang cp mo. Ingat.

[Q] Need help with my phone SG isw11sc

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if ever I'm posting this on the wrong section cause I'm not sure if this is a problem from android or samsung.
I'm not good at all when it comes to phone troubleshooting so I will try my luck and ask questions about what have happened to my phone just awhile ago. I got this phone from Japan(Samsung Galaxy SII Wimax isw11sc) months ago and I only use it for multimedia purposes as it is region locked and I am at another country atm. everything is running fine until my phone asked for a software update(not really sure what upgrade that was) and I decided to give it a shot and let it download the updates. I left it to do some chores and when I came back to check on it, it reboot looped itself on the AU(mobile phone company from japan) logo.
I did some research and found some things like hard reset and download mode. I tried to do the hard reset(power/home/volume up) method but I can't seem to access the settings instead, the phone keeps on showing me this "Preparing for S/W update. Please wait." after a few seconds, the phone will reset itself back to the reboot loop.
I tried to do the download mode using odin mode but then, I realized that my phone and computer won' connect via USB port because well, my phone won't boot. Also downloaded the manual driver but my pc won't recognize it.(win7 if that helps.)
Please tell me what have happened and what I can do to fix this problem, I don't really care if i lose everything that I have stored on my phone, I just want it to work again. Help will be much appreciated, Thank you.

[Q] HTC one M7 bricked??? Please HELPPP

Hello everybody,
I am new here, but after many searches I found out that this forum can be quite useful. Unfortunately I couldn't find the answer to my problem. Here you go, I start very well for my first thread:
I just got a HTC one M7 international version GSM from a friend, very nice phone and it was already rooted and had Trickdroid installed on it. I started to talk to my friend and he told me I should install KIt Kat on the phone... and from there it went all wrong...
I tried to install a KIT KAT rom I found online, it didn't work and the phone wouldn't start anymore, I would just have access to recovery mode (CWM is installed) and fastboot/bootloader. From there, the phone wasn't recognized anymore by my pc when connected to USB. I then used a mini USB cable to connect a USB key with different .zip file to load them to the phone.
After many attemps, one file finally worked (all the other would abort installation), it was insertcoin M7 kustomizer... I know I should have had reloaded Trickdroid 11.0.0 on it, but it was taking ages to download and went the fast way... which was a really bad decision I guess.
After the installation of insertcoin, the phone rebooted and... rebooted...and keeps rebooting to the HTC white screen (with the red warning: this build is for...)... it goes on and on...
Only thing I can do is hold the volume down key when it reboots and then it takes me to fastboot/bootloader. From there when I try to go to recovery mode it goes to recovery mode for half a second and reboot directly to the white HTC screen over and over again....
Also, USB device is not recognized (but strange, HTC sync manager starts even though it tells me no phone is connected).
Now I have the Trickdroid 11 file ready (1.1GB) but there is no way to install it on the phone... I really don't see how to do it anymore, did I really screw up big time and my phone is more or less a dead weight?
I am going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at the end of the week, maybe someone will be able to find a solution for me...
I shouldn't have touched a phone that was working very well....I know...
Nobody? So my HTC one is dead?
Is the all in one tool going to help? I installed it but since my phone is not recognized by the computer (windows 8.1) when connected via USB, I don't seem to be able to do anything...

This is all if you can find a way to get files to your phone...
I'm not sure which recovery you have but when upgrading from Android 4.2.2, and 4.3 the recovery you are using needs to be updated to the most current version. For example if you are running TWRP recovery you need to be running TWRP 2.6.3.3 for everything to run smoothly. In order to do this though you will need to download your original ROM (No matter how long it takes). Then go google play store and download goo.im and update you recovery with openrecoveryscript and update from there and you should be fine. I would also like to note that it's fully recommended that when you flash 4.4 KK you do a full wipe. This means userdata/cache/dalvik cache wipe, otherwise you will run into problems. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have anymore questions!
Thank you, but unfortunately I still couldn't find a way to access the files on the phone, no matter what I do. The phone starts by itself to the HTC white screen when I connect it to the main to charge it... I can only access fastboot/bootloader... I feel useless...
I feel your pain

After my htc one freezing on the 'quietly trickdroid' loading screen my phone will now not turn on, AT ALL! I think it's screwed : S
I just arrived in Kuala Lumpur and took it to a little shop, they told me they will fix it for me by tomorrow for 50USD... I'll let you know tomorrow if they managed to make the magic happen. I think they would reinstall stock, but that's fine with me, much better than a bricked "rooted" phone. It will take me a while before I start to screw up with a phone again...

My Galaxy S2 screen is completely broken and the phone is locked! I need help :(

Hi all,
I have a Samsung galaxy s2 i9100 which I bought 4 years ago. Two weeks ago my phone accidentally fell on the floor and the screen is cracked . The phone was turned off on that moment. (I had set two different passwords for the screen and the sim, long before the accident). I cannot access the phone . There are many important files and messages stored in the phone. How can get them out of my phone? Please help!
If you have no custom rom you can try and connect the phone to your PC with kies and see if it detect the device you will need to try and turn the phone on while connected.
But I would say your best bet would be to get the screen repaired.

I rooted the phone weeks before the accident. I did Not install any custom rom (so far I understand). I tried connecting the phone with kies (PC), but kies asks me to enter the screen unlock password in the phone before it shows me any file there is No option enter the password inside Kies
Moreover, I cannot use the samsung online service "Find my phone" because it requires the phone to turn on Wi-Fi so that the service can find the phone, I cannot turn-on the Wi-fi in the phone as the screen is un-usable. What can I do to retrieve all files (pic, vdo, messages, contacts etc) from my phone? Please help me....... (p.s: I do not have any money to get the screen repaired)
