EDIT: Sorry for posting in the wrong sub-forum. Moderators, do your thing
Sorry for a lot of caps in the title but I'm in a bad spot. A friend let me take his Samsung Galaxy Mega (SGH-I527) so I could root it, install SuperSU, Xposed modules etc. It doesn't have a sim card, he really just wants it for Pokemon GO. I showed him my Pokemon GO Spoofer Xposed module, and told him I would set it all up for him.
Unfortunately.... I screwed up. I usually don't either, so this is pretty frightening for me.
I downloaded TWRP from the Play Store, as SuperSU couldn't update itself by the normal option. I downloaded a SuperSU update from the XDA forums so I could flash it in Recovery mode. I decided to try and flash it in TWRP, and it said it would reboot into recovery. It didn't boot into Recovery Mode, so I took the battery out and tried again. Still no Recovery Mode.
Finally, I tried one more time, and now the phone will not do ANYTHING. It will not charge. It will not display as connected on ODIN, Kies, and my laptop in general. Not only will it not boot up normally..... but it also won't boot into Download Mode OR Recovery Mode.
Basically, I feel SO bad right now. I literally have no idea what to do at all, and after many Google searches...... well...... I fear that there is no fixing this. Unless I were to pay a professional or something like that, of course.
If anybody can help me, please do. I'm freaking out right now.
If I am 100% screwed, PLEASE TELL ME RIGHT AWAY!!!!!! I would appreciate it!!!
I had something similar happen to me, what I did is boot into download mode and restart when the prompt comes up, do not attempt to install TWRP as it will just get stuck.

What is your phone doing now?
Doesn't light up, black screen?
all you see is a phone ! and a computer on the screen

ODIN should be able to recognize it like that.
Open ODIN up, find the PDA and .pit and connect the phone, see if the yellow COM light pops up.

Kind of adding on to what "theexel" said above, here's my instructions on solving what is known as a "soft brick". Shouldn't be to hard, if at all, and hopefully you should be back to enjoying your Vibrant in a matter of no time...

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

Alright, sounds good

Oh and yeah, the download mode image doesn't necessarily need to be present. As long as the COM ID is lighting up yellow you should be good.
Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?
GT-P7510: Can only boot into Download mode. "No Kernel" and no Recovery. HELP!
Title says it all. My tablet will boot into the Recovery/Download selection screen if I do it right, but selecting Recovery mode does absolutely nothing.
If I try to boot the tablet normally, it will go directly into Download mode on its own.
I'm reaching out everywhere I can for help. This is beyond frustrating.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Edit:
Here. This is what happens every single time I do ANYTHING in Odin. I'm seriously at a loss and have no clue where to go from here. ****.

IMPORTANT: your phone needs to be running the lg official lollipop before flashing it
Here's a twrp from the internet that i found.
It includes a Bootloader unlock binary.
so, I've done a tool that automates the installation process
You run it, it'll install twrp and reboot into recovery
If it fails use the tutorial from the original developer
link for the original poster of the tool (thank him):

My cell phone gave a brick and it did not want to start.
My cell phone gave brick and did not want to start.
When I put the battery and hold the power button it flashes the led 7 times and then it turns off, so I was able to do that process to make the led flash and I need to take the battery and put it back.
The only function I can access is FASTBOOT MODE.

Hello i create this thread cause i have a big problem about twrp on my phone my phone is : SM-A405FN
I have followed this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/recovery-twrp-galaxy-a40-t3968586
But when i flash twrp (i have uncheck "reboot" on odin of course) i can't get access to the recovery mode, when i do power button + volume up it doesn't do nothing and show this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(I have already unlock my boot loader)
I think its DM VERITY who block the access to recovery mode but i can't disable this, cause i can't get access to twrp :/
Thanks for any answers c:
I exactly did the same - with the same result. I also have a SM-A405FN - I still can enter the green download screen & the phone is still accessible with Odin - but flashing twrp_a40 again does change nothing... the phone is still in the boot loop. Any ideas?
