[Q] I9300 Bricked ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

HI guys,
I have a problem with my I9300. I tried flash new one TWRP over TWRP Flash image. Something goes wrong and now I am not able to flash anything. Odin and Kies cannot see my phone (unspecified device). I am not able to get into recovery. I am able only to get into download mode and odin mode. Can someone help me with it ?

If Odin can not see the phone, try different usb cables and ports.

I tried a lot of cables (Samsung Original), but no one works. PC detect my phone like unspecified device. I also installed all samsung USB drivers. USB connector has been cleaned. Still nothing works :/

IT works I flashed TWRP via ODIN. Thanks a lot.

[Q] I9100G not recognized by Odin after flashing Custom ROM

Hi there,
I tried to flash CM 10.1 on my friend's Samsung Galaxy SII I9100G. I followed the Tutorial from the CM's wiki, but it didn't worked because I got errors from Heimdall. After a few minutes with google I tried Odin and it worked without any Problems. After flashing cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-i9100g-M2.zip and related gapps the phone was stuck in a bootloop. After 10 minutes I pulled out the battery and plugged it back in. Since then, the phone always booted into recovery automatically. And I'm able to boot into download mode aswell.
But the phone isn't recognized by Odin or any other tool. I've reinstalled the samsung phone drivers serveral times. I tried it with Kies, without Kies, with driver packages from XDA.. Nothing worked. If I remove the battery and hold Vol Down+Home+Power while plugging in the USB cable my PC recognizes some devices but cannot install the driver because after 2 seconds the devices is unplugged again.
I think the battery is too low to establish a USB connection. I will charge the battery tomorrow at work and give it another try.
Any advice for the whole problem? Is it all related to the low battery?
Kind regards

Clean uninstall Kies (your uninstaller pro or similar), then reinstall.
Got a laptop laying around? Try that instead.

A clean reinstall of Kies didn't helped.. Even it isn't recognized on another PC. Because I can access recovery mode (CWM) and download mode I guess it's no brick.. just an driver issue?! I tried several USB Ports and USB cables.. nothing helped..
Can it be caused by a wrong kernel? Is it possible to flash a kernel with CWM?
Of course, flash the zip version of the kernel.
Make sure it's neant for I9100G

Even after flashing another kernel the phone boots directly into recovery..
After trying several ROMs and Kernels I guess it's a bootloader failure.. Because there is no possibillity to flash a new bootloader via CWM and I get no USB connection, I am screwed... =/
No you are not, keep trying.
Other(s) PC might do the trick.
Also get a couple of Odin versions.
Get new cables, genuine s2s that is.
And keep reinstalling kies.
I tried it with another USB cable and connected the phone without the battery. Now I get a "OMAP4430" Device in the device manager which disappears after 2 seconds and reappers 5 seconds later and after 2 seconds it's gone again.. Why the processor is recognized by my PC and not the smartphone itself?!
I will try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701471&page=3
Setting up a XP VM right now..
try removing kies completely and install only the drivers
also get a new usb and try connecting to a different port
also do u have ur phone in warranty ?

[Q] Galaxy mini s5570 not detected by PC & odin

Hi,
As i wasnt actually aware of what i was doing, i accidently flashed a zip file using the stock recovery on my galaxy mini and yeah, now its bricked. After a lot of googling and reading forums, I assume that the phone can be fixed using odin. So, I have downloaded odin and put the phone on download mode, but when i connect the phone to the pc, there is no response whatsoever from the PC. But the phone is charging when connected. The phone can be booted into recovery mode, download mode and emergency download mode. I tried many USB cables, all the usb ports and 2 different PCs. Still no luck. I feel something is wrong with the usb port of the phone. It does look a little distorted as well. So basically, i cannot use odin and was wondering if there is anyway to fix the phone without using odin.................
Thanks is advance.........Please help......

You need Samsung USB drivers. Do you have them installed in PC?
If not then Google them, download install and Odin will recognize the phone.

Bricked, my PC doesn't detect phone.

If download mode works , then the problem is the usb cable or the samsung driver on the PC , here is the lastest driver , If ODIN 3.10.7 detects the device try to flash TWRP-3.0.2-0 TAR as AP , if it worked reboot in recovery and the rest is up to you witch rom you gonna flash , note this is for custom roms only like CyanogenMod
Thank mate Installed TWRP and CM13, everyhing works well Changed USB cable and managed to get phone detected, quality USB cable makes difference.

Hi, I have a similar situation, no power, no charge, no download mode, I even connect the USB jig and nothing. Everything happened when trying to restore boot with CWM. After reboot the phone went to hard brick state

Well the battery is discharged , that's why it doesn't boot , There must be something wrong or with the charger or with the usb cable , most of the time is the cable , after you manage to boot , try to flash TWRP instead CWM

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I tested the cable and charger in other phones and they work fine. In the other hand the S3 was at 30% by the time I restarted it and never came back to life. Also when I connect it to the PC there is no sign of the S3 on the device manager.

Ok, its in your usb connector, its kinda broken, i saw a fix for galaxy S1 woth this problem
You take a toothpick and look inside you micro usb connector and you will se a "tongue", gently push that "tongue" up with a toothpick or anything non-metalic and see if it works
Cheers!!!

[RESOLVED] My rooted J6 was fine, until I updated Magisk and now got bootloop...

I had a J6, just rooted months ago. Everything was fine, I got it rooted successfully, and today I just updated Magisk this afternoon and restart it. And it got bootloop.
I don't know what to do so I wipe data and cache partition. It didn't help
My phone can't connect to my laptop, Odin didn't detect my phone, Installing Samsung USB Drivers didn't help
My phone could only go to recovery mode and go to Downloading mode
Can anyone help me plz?
Try to reflash the stock rom maybe
Hello,
is your phone a SM-J600FN/DS? And how do you root?
Thanks

To reflash the stock ROM we need Odin to detect my phone to flash. It didn't detect anything (despite already have Samsung USB Driver). I was stupid not installing TWRP before rooting my phone. What should I do now?
[SOLVED]: IT WAS THE CABLE PROBLEM​
It turns out that the problem all along was the cable. I had 2 Micro USB cables and none of them connect the phone to computer, only in charge mode
So I borrowed my mom's Xiaomi cable and it worked perfectly. Just connect to computer, open Odin and flash the stock ROM back.
After this incident I don't feel like I want to root phone. It was good but it seems to me that Magisk has a lot of problems right now... Or probably just me
