Connect your mobile to pc if it vibrates your mobile not hard bricked, you can unbrick your mobile via flashing stock firmware with odin
download stock firmware from SamMobile
Remove the battery & wait for 1 minutes. Then insert the battery.Connect your mobile to pc it will vibrate in 5 seconds(while vibrating Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Home + Power’ buttons together and release them once a Warning screen shows up on your device
Press ‘Volume Up‘ to accept the warning and boot into download mode.
Note- download mode only work when your press the the buttons while vibrating)
Open odin & flash stock Rom

Tq for reply but it does not vibrates I had tried I can't get into download mode tried almost all method to come into download mode. I don't tried jig or gtag I don't know how to do..

Device is totally blanked I m worring about it a lot...

[Q] how to unbrick Galaxy Europa GT-i5500?

Hello
I have the next issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500
And it bricked when I closed odin 4.36 after, when the phone was in downloading mode due that there was no completion. I wanted to install a newer version of the clockwork (mod) recovery.
I installed an old version but was unable to install the CyanogenMod (hte one from psyke83) that I wanted. And after I wanted to try a newer version of the clockwork (mod).
And now the phone is with the PC---to Phone icon brick mode.
I tried the volume down + main button + power off and isn't working
Also i tried to run the one click unbrick and isn't able to connect to the phone. Seems that the phone doesn't reach the computer
I tried an usb list (lsusb) in the ubuntu and does appear if i connect it.
I tried both in windows 7 and ubuntu
Do you think is a softbrick? Any clues? recomendations or questions for more details
did you find any solution..
i have no warranty since it as directly imported..i have the same problem ..
i was trying to backup my rom when it bricked.. (using rom manager) .... i tried volume down + home + power button (disconnect button) but nothings showed up.

I had a problem with the buttons on the phone the volume down wasn't working.
What do you mean by home button the one with the home icon or the main one with the metal borders because is that button the one that you need to use.
I also tried the resitor of 301kohms between the pins 4 and 5 didn't work.
Now i have the 2.3.7 working stable at the moment
try that combination of buttons if not tell me
I am pretty sure there is nothing you can do about it, if it is completely bricked.
And the phone won't turn on, in any case what so ever?

Depends if it is hard bricked or soft bricked. If the screens turns on and appears the PC---/!\ --- phone. The he can try to use the three key combination or the usb homemade jig. Otherwise he can try to find someone with the JTAG
search in google JTAG galaxy for more info.
sounds like a hard brick. People claim that taking the battery and sim out of the phone for 30 mins (min) and then putting back in and booting to download mode sometimes works
You could try that
MY BROTHER IS IN THE WAY YOU DOWNLOAD but equally can not install any OTHER ONE IS A STRONG BRICK
On galaxy s this also happens from time to time, even i had it once. Try if Odin possibly connects anyway and flash again, if not, remove your battery leave it out for 60 seconds and then try if you can get to download mode again. You definitely have not hardbricked your device...

My GT i5500 Boots into Download mode but I can't seem to find all Stock firmware including CSC etc, all the links I have tried on here are dead or don't have the correct fw for my phone. I would use CFW if I knew what was good and worked but I am not to sure. Any suggestions??
The Stock firmware has the letter code of NJ**2P the stars are unknown letters or numbers but its a UK phone.

Did you already try: vol up, menu, power on (by this order, holding them all together in the end) ???
(It might be that for your device you should press and hold: vol down, home button, power)
Did you try taking out the battery (for 10 - 15 secs) and trying the above combination again???
Also you might find this page of interest for your case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. Credits to @neerajganga
Please take a look at your PM messages.
A last comment; in my experience, using the latest version of Odin and firmware from the links I sent you, never required extra files (like pit or any other type).
Best of luck! :good: Share how it goes!

flashing failed, and dont know what to do

Hi there, recently a friend of mine who is on china brought me a souvenir, Yes it was Samsung Galaxy SIII. And yes again, it is my first android phone.
The phone comes with no play store and heck a lot of chinese apps from china-unicom one of the biggest operator in china.
I know nothing about chinese (chinese as in the letter) hence i read forums, and i downloaded the ROM for indonesia Galaxy I9300, and I flash the phone using ODIN v3.04. and Unfortunately, or the flashing failed and now my phone is stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in KIES & Try again"
I downloaded the KIES, and when i found the "EMERGENCY FIRMWARE RECOVERY, he asked me for pin which i dont know.
any help is appreciated
Cheers
Win Chandra
Just flash the firmware again using Odin v1.85.
That would do the trick.
Just get the phone in download mode and flash it.

I would say to first get the phone unlocked and then you can flash another rom. There are some apps on playstore to unlock a phone i think.
Use supercurio's galaxy s3 unlock from market and use mskip's "galaxy s3 toolkit v.4" to get root,cwm,backup(to pc) and flash though Odin. Perfect noob toolbox for flashing.
remember to backup your EFS folder with K-TOOL(very important) , get it from market
I cant get the phone into download mode. The download mode is when you press and hold the vol down + power + home right? But nothing happened

Power off the phone. Then press vol down + home key and after 2 sec the power key. After that hold them for around 4,5 seconds.

[Q] Is this a Brick? What should I do?

I recently sold my og note to a friend. it was rooted running black star. He has asked me to try and fix it for him because it will not boot up. when he gave it to me it was stuck at the download mode warning screen ("volume up : Continue ; volume down : Cancel (restart phone)") . I was able to get it into recovery . I tried to flash a few different roms i had on the phone when i gave it to him. I was able to flash a rom and get a successful message but then it would not start it would just go back to the warning screen. I then tried to use odin to flash stock rom but it wont go past the warning screen. pressing up or down doesnt do anything. the only thing it will do from there is boot into recovery mode. Does it sound like its bricked or should i try something else? anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
matt
Sounds like the volume down button is stuck. When you reboot if you hold volume down with power it takes you to that screen. Pull the battery and see if you can free the button.
Agreed ....the device is not bricked ....g
Or friend deleted OS files and it can't boot. Worst case is you connect to a pc and Odin or Kies flash a new system.

i followed Hungryhacker's instruction about press voldown+home+powerkey together at the same time for 7-10 sec and i entered downloading mode i waited for couple of minutes but nothing happened
and i connected my phone into my PC and i installed SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones but nothing happens i really need answers please help me
No its not briked. ..!
What are you trying to say, have you ever heard the name of flashing through Odin. ... for this reason only we go to download mode...and by the way your phone is not briked just take out your battery and insert it , next just restart your phone. ..
Press thanks button if I helped.
