Hey guys,
So recently I got a SM-G928X Live Demo Unit. I just read that flashing G928F firmware is completely fine and so I did aaaaand well, I am stuck in recover. Forgot to flash a custom recovery, also the phone has Factory Reset Protection so I am here with:
Android Recovery
MMB29K.G928FXXU2BPB6
samsung/zenbltexx/zenlte
6.0.1/MMB29K/G928FXXU2BPB6
user/release-keys
volume up/down and power
____________________
then goes normal recovery options
and at the bottom of the screen, there's
Supported API: 3
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
Anyway I can't get to download mode, cant wipe data, cant flash from ADB/SD Card. When connected to PC no software recognises the device so yeah, that's a great situation to be in, right?
So if any of you have any idea how to make this thingy work again, I'm up for anything.
Aand I'm in the wrong forum right.. Sorry for that
Thanks

Well one thing might still work. You could try and make yourself a download mode dongle. Just google Samsung download mode dongle and try to make one. IIRC all you need is a microUSB plug for the phone and a resistor with a certain resitance (can't recalm the value). Then plug in the microUSB plug and just hold the resistor between two ends of the plug. This should force your phone into download mode and you should be able to flash it again. Good luck!
Edit: found a picture showing you what you need to connect

You can also find Samsung download mode jig dongles pretty cheap on the web. But going to a hardware store and getting a USB connector and a resistor just was the faster way to do it for me.

Hey everybody, so I bought myself a messed up vibrant hoping I could fix it. Originally it acted like this:
Plug it in to charge: shows the stock loading bar, then loading bar with battery, repeat.
Turn it on: shows the at&t world phone screen, (I think they tried to flash captivate files to it) (yes I am sure it is a vibrant, I have had 3 now)
Wouldn't even go into download mode, definitely not recovery.
I bought a USB download mode jig, and that worked wonders on it and got it to download mode!
My micro USB port on my phone is junk, but I finally got odin to recognize it, but it failed after saying setup connection forever.

Any ideas? Is JTAG the only option I have at this point, if so anyone know who'll do it for less than $50?
If it helps I have a linux computer.
Maybe the unbrickableMOD? I suck at soldering and I don't really know anyone who is good, but I might be able to make that work as a last resort.
Now it has changed its mind once again, I put the USB jig in and it went to the soft bricked screen with the cell phone...!...computer
It can't be a problem with the cable or the computer because I have tried several ports and I have used same computer with odin many times.
It has changed its mind once again, now we're back to download mode.
I have finally gotten it back in download mode, now trying to get odin to see it again and not have the computer just say usb device not recognized . Any ideas for this?
Progress! Now it will say but i still cannot get odin to recognize it again, any ideas? I have and am trying multiple versions of odin just to make sure.
Now we're back to .
Still no ideas? If I can get odin to recognize it again I think I have a special odin to fix it.
Eh, maybe I'll scrap it for parts.
Try and get odin to recognise it and flash i9000 pit file. It should flash successfully. Then try flashing the firmware, make sure you include the pit file.
Kindly hit the THANKS button if i helped.
I AM A POTAYTOE!!! :banghead:
Sounds to me like your usb port is bad. www.mobiletechvideos.com will replace it for you or you can just order the part if you know how to solder but you must be really good at soldering or you will ruin it. They also offer jtag I believe but I don't feel like you need that. Mobile tech is a very trusted source FYI, so purchase with confidence if you go that route.

on the recovery screen the volume buttons dont work so i cant scroll up or down
if i let it "boot" normally it gets to this screen
but as the touch screen doesnt work i cant go no forward
no as i say i bought it like this so i knew the risk but is there anyway to fix it?
ive downloaded ADT but im hesitant to use it as i may totally bugger it if it not already buggered.

Likewise so just guess .
perhaps i should have tried booting into download mode before downloading a ROM and reading up on ODIN as i cant boot into download mode, it just boot as usual to the 2nd pic above

Thats the startup screen on a new install .
Guess would be the touch screen or digitizer .
it was a risk i took, u win some u lose some.
OK, a bit of success, i wasn't able to enter download mode from power off but managed to get into it from power on holding the same keys, problem now is i cant get ODIN to see my device, i have the latest drivers too.
ok, managed to get it connected and flashed but it appears to be in aboot loop, will head to the Odin thread for advice.
many thanks
First of all, sorry but my English is pretty bad.
I have a S2 that I want to use it just occasionally (as businesses phone). It charged perfectly but sometimes it shows this 'error'

I've tried installing CM and Gapps but i can't from stock recovery, so I also tried to install TWRP from Odin but i get another error.
You guys know any solution or is completely dead?

try to remove your battery for 10 seconds and put again and boot
(Dont put your phone to charger)

Do a Google search for:
"USB jig for Samsung"
Or a search for:
"300k resistor method Samsung"
You'll find information for a couple of different tricks to force-boot your device into download mode and then you can flash your stock firmware using Odin.
If it is at all possible for you to revive the device, this should do it.
If it doesn't, then it can only be repaired by:
1) replacing the motherboard
2) a JTAG service(or buy the expensive JTAG hardware for yourself and learn how to use it). The service is probably still around $50 but I'm not sure.
3) Pay for an Octo box or a Riff box service(or similar hardware interface equipment)
Or buy the Octo box/ Riff box or other interface for yourself and learn to use it.
There is also, possibly, a trick that involves a somewhat complicated method of booting a stock debrick.img that has been burned onto an external sdcard that has been formatted as a "bootable" drive and then using the booted OS to repair the partitions on the device, then after everything is restored and booting properly without the external sdcard, you return the external sdcard to normal format as storage instead of as a bootable drive. You can probably find a copy of debrick.img(sometimes labeled as debrick.bin) for S2 or maybe you can get someone else here with a S2 to pull a debrick.img(.bin) from their device using terminal emulator or adb shell. If your device does not at least vibrate or light up the capacitive hardkeys when you try to power on the device, this method of booting from external sdcard will not work on your device but a JTAG service will probably do the job, however, there is no guarantee that the service will work.
Also, I can't see what the second photo that you posted is. Can you repost it correctly so that I can view it?

Hi, I have someone's old s7 edge which I'd like to use in place of my A10e lol, it still has their password on it tho. The screen seems to have some really weird issues, if I power it on using the home button or power button half the time the screen will be extremely dim/green and half of it will flicker. It looks and works perfectly fine the rest of the time though. I got it to the "recovery booting" screen, but the screen just flashes then goes near-black (still slightly glowing, doesn't turn off) then boots normally about a minute later.
I've tried around 40 times and can't get it to go into recovery mode. I have no idea what I'm doing but I put it in download mode and tried using Odin to flash it with files I got off sammobile. It didn't even connect at first but did after I installed Kies. Odin said it passed, the phone restarted, then just booted back up to the same lock screen. I then tried installing TWRP onto it, which failed saying it couldn't open the serial(com) port? That's where I am now... does anyone know if there's any way to wipe the phone?
@eggy1
If you've phone's Stock ROM ( ZIP file ) at your fingertips then you simply re-flash phone with this Stock ROM to bring back the phone to its initial state.
If you can access phone by means of ADB/Fastboot then it's really simple to do a clean install of phone's Stock ROM..

I can't get adb to detect the phone, but I flashed it successfully with Odin using the files from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-stock-odin-firmware-t3582821
It now seems to be stuck in a loop of recovery booting into the download mode screen, and occasionally into a caution screen that says no command.. should I try another rom?
@eggy1
Use SamFirm Tool what allows you to manually search and download the Stock ROM matching your phone.

Anyone know how to fix a boot loop issue? Looks like my smartphone decided to go into a boot loop. My Realme GT2 Pro isn't seen by my PC in this state.
Soft-brick or hard-brick? Can you access the bootloader? Do you have ABD drivers on your PC?
I don't know the difference between a soft brick and hard brick. It starts to boot and recycles. I can manage only to get into this strange recovery mode. I tried all 3 options you see on the screen and there is no difference.

It's soft-bricked... it's easy to fix... But do you flashed the phone or just started bootlooping all of nothing?
It just started this yesterday for no reason. I was deleting some apps I don't use when it started.
How can I fix this when the device can't be seen by the PC?
Since you said that tried all three options from Recovery mode means that there's no more data to recover... So, just re-flash the phone... You'll need the ADB drivers for the PC to recognize the phone on bootloader...
I managed to get the phone into a condition where it is recognized by a qualcomm QDLoader. Where do I go from here?
This is EDL mode... This is for severe cases, which is not yours, for now... Is your phone unlocked?
I think the phone is unlocked right now
No fastboot available so how do I flash an image in EDL mode?
Are you sure you doesn't have access to bootloader? Start the phone with the power button + volume down...
Anyway, in EDL mode you can flash your phone with QFIL, but it's very buggy... Or with MSM Download Tool, which is flawless, but the problem is getting access to this software... That was my problem until today as you can see here...
MSM Downloaf Tool for realme GT 2 Pro
Does anyone know how to access this tool? This is ridiculous, realme has no useful tool to flash their phones and the one that is useful are impossible to access... The only one that I have access was one patched for some especific Oppo phone...
