Hi People of the world! As you can see im new to here so yeah i just might be in the wrong section...
So, I just got my shiny android a week ago, and know it sits on my desk, lifeless, like a brick. Like literally its dead! I don't know if I can fix it or the BIOS (if theres one in Samsung Galaxies) is fried, or maybe the motherboard is fried, or the battery overcharged, etc. But I just cant do anything! I'm totally out of ideas!
Heres the problem, I first rooted my android successfully, and played around with my android a while. But as you expect I just coudn't wait for the jelly bean update! So, I desided I would give a try to take the Russian firmware instead. That was already a bad idea, but I read on some threads that it would work fine, so I downloaded one from Sammobile.com. The real mistake? I downloaded the wrong phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance NFC Version;GT-I9070P The one I downloaded was UnNFC version; GT-I9070. Well, I didn't realize that, and proceeded with entering download mode and eventually flashing the PDA file from Sammobile with ODIN. So I pressed start. It started the process, and after 5 min it said in blue: RESET. I saw the phone rebooting. Now, another big mistake: I started touching the power button, which I shouldn't have done. Then, instead of waiting, as soon as seeing the thing wasnt booting, I took out the battery and unplugged the USB cable. Then after a while the PASS appeared in green. So it went successfully? NONONO Now it wont boot! More specifically, it wont TURN ON! like it wont whow any sign of life. As if it had no battery or USB.
Today I discovered, If I hold Vol UP+Power+Home when its connected to my PC, it makes the beep, shows that it failed to install the driver for "U8500 USB ROM" What the (*^&(&%*(&^&* is that??? Also, in 5 seconds, the device disappears, meaning that I must hold the button combo for another 20 seconds.
So, I've got no connectivity to ODIN, nor Kies, and I cant go into download mode, nor recovery mode.
Any Help?
Pleeaase if you can help youre a super god of androids!
ok, so if I understand correctly, You can't even turn on a phone - no samsung logo, no yellow triangle, nothing, right?

Exactly. Nothing at all.
The only evidence that its not fried is that the computer detects it as U8500 USB ROM for 5 seconds whenever i hold the power button or any combination. Nothing on the phone though.

Yeah i think I should take it to service too, but I want to try at least first:cyclops:
I've just repeated exactly the same steps as the OP on my GT-9070P and have "successfully" bricked my two-week-old phone. If someone happens to find a solution, please share. :crying:

Ikr its really bad to break your phone as soon as i get it. Worse, for me its a few of days to my birthday! Worse thing that could happen. I will PM you if i happen to find a good solution. Also, to make it really the worst thing, the GT-I9070 is one of the less popular phones (not like the s3). The NFC version? Even rarer! So not only are there not many developers working for that phone, not many people have really encountered problems with the phone at all.

Please help! I also bricked my Samsung S Advance I9070P after downgrading from JB to GB, since JB was updated for India I9070...but the phone bricked after downgrade. Everything was successful and it had auto-rebooted after the downgrade and stuck with Start up screen. When I removed battery and tried again..it bricked! No recovery mode, No download mode, no power on.

Putting generic/non-descriptive titles, especially silly ones like "Urgent help" do not make people help any more quickly and in fact will slow down help because many people simply ignore topics that are not titled correctly.
Also, This topic has been discussed MANY, MANY, MANY times over so you have no need to create a duplicate topic and then sit there and wait for answers when you can help yourself by looking and reading.
If your phone has simply died and wont turn on then its dead and you will need to replace/repair hardware. In the very least try a new battery.
Have you tried download or recovery mode or a USB jig??
Also it would help if you were honest because diagnosis/fix may be more relevant, have you tried flashing something to your device?
And everyone here should stop whatever else they're doing to 'urgently help' you why exactly ?
I don't see why this is urgent at all.
I do know this subject has been discussed more than a few times, and was simply wondering if a solution had been found.
I am the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab 10.1. It registers only as an APX Device, and I have tried all the known solutions that I have been able to find including disconnecting the battery for a while.
It will not respond to NVFlash, giving me the error code that suggests the bootloader is locked.
My question is ... Has anyone developed a solution to this problem yet?
Secondly, if I have to replace the motherboard, which one is compatible? I ask this because there seems to be confusion among suppliers, with some appearing to suggest that the motherboards for the original Tab, and the Tab 2 might be the same. That sounds suspiciously wrong to me, but you might know better
Thanks for taking the time with a noob question about well-trodden ground.
Greetings,
I'm new in this Forum. I have been searching all around internet about my problem and couldn't find any solution, so I'm here calling for help from you.
My problem is quite simple to describe. I have my old friend's phone, who left it at my house 6 months ago. Now that my friend is gone, I'm trying to fix this phone.
The issue is that it has a Power Button broken (I can't start it on) so I have to plug it, but once done it can't go beyond the logo, then it keeps restarting again and again and again until I remove the battery. At this point, I told myself that I only have to do a factory reset and flash it, but then after installing the drivers, getting the firmware ready and stuff, when booting the phone to the flashboot mode, it keep restarting again and again and again...
Is there anyway to fix this? Or does it mean that the phone is gone?
Guys, we got a hard problem. I use Samsung Galaxy A2. But, now it doesn't work because of temp. sensor. Temp. sensor has trouble. The phone was showing temp. error and breakdown. And now, it doesn't be charged because it shows temp. error and breakdown. The charge is %0 now.
Whatever, I must recover the data from this phone. Because, my works, some projects are in that phone. I didn't upload to PC or Cloud. So, we need to take it from that phone. Cmon Guys! We can do it! I believe, we have solve this problem! Cmon, let's do it!
I searched the ''How I can off this broken sensor?''. If I find anything and If I off this sensor, I connected the USB and uploaded to PC. But, unfortunately I didn't find anything. Actually, I found one. But, I can't use it because I don't know anything about developing. I found a code for android studio(from Android Studio Guide).
''RATE_STOP
public static final int RATE_STOP
Sensor stopped (no event output).''
Can I use that? If we can use that, how I can use it? And, a information about phone; I can access the recovery mode and it doesn't show temp. error. I connected the phone to charge. And, log in recovery mode. But, the phone doesn't charge. I charged one (1) hours in recovery mode. When I started the phone, it breakdown in 5 seconds. I saw, the charge was %0. Maybe, this information can be useful, I don't know.
Please, help me. I need to recovery that data in one week. Cmon, I believe we can solve this problem in one week. I trust you who is reading this post. You know something about developing better than me. So, you can access the sensor with solution!
NOW, LET'S FIND THAT SOLUTION.
See you, guys. I know when I log in this site again, I see solution more than one. Cmon guys! Let's solve this big problem. Finally, you know this problem can be hard. BUT WE ARE HARDER THAN THAT PROBLEM!
