Hello guys,
I'm a bit sad, I broke my S6 screen today. It's not a big deal, already ordered a new phone. The really sad thing is the pictures / recorded call with my wife on this phone. I can't access to it throug PC because I can't click the "Ok" pop up when I connect it to the computer. He is not in USB Debug mode also. Is there a way to cast the phone on the PC screen without USB Debug ? Or can I force the USB Debug ? I'm a bit lost...
Thanks a lot,
Hi , can you see that pop UP on your Screen ? if yes , you can use OTG USB kable and connect your Mouse on your phone .
Hello Teddy, thank you for your help !
Unfortunatly, I can't see anything it's just black. I've read about plugging a mouse with an OTG USB cable, but in my case, I won't have any use because it's broken so hard that nothing just show on the screen, no matter what I do.
I've read some stuff accross this forum, and I've found few clues about what to do, like using ADB / Odin. But as far as I understand, my phone need to be in USB Debug mode in order to work with ADB. There is also a solution that comes with something nammed Vaysor that can help you cast your screen on your PC, but again, you also need to be in USB Debug mode, wich i'm not in.
So I'm still lost at this point.
Regards;
There is also another way with flashing ADB enable file on Odin . So my question is what is your model of your phone ?
Hey Teddy ! Thanks for the help again.
My phone is a Galaxy S6 from Samsung.
Do you need the exact model or it is enough ? Is the exact model is needed, tell me I'm gonna have to search on the basement for the user's manual
Yes , You have Model : on the bottom of rear glass example SM-G920F , or G920T , G920A ,G928P .
Damn Teddy, you are right ! I've never noticed this before !
It's the SM G920F
Thanks again for your concern.
Unfortunatly this ADB method will probably not save your data , but you can flash custom recovery by odin which has already adb enabled .
Requirement
1. PC with internet connection
2. Odin
https://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.12.3.zip
3.Custom recovery
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-3.2.1-0-zeroflte.img.tar
Once you finish downloading those files , open Odin , click on AP choose twrp-3.2.1-0-zeroflte.img.tar put your phone in download mode by Holding together Vol- ,Home button and the Power button at the same time for about 7 second .
Once you feel is booting , release power button but keep holding Vol - and home few second , and then one time press Vol +.
Now connect your phone on pc and wait for Com port to be recognised on ODIN it will be green color , once you see that click on Start and wait to finish flashing new recovery.img .
Good Luck
Hello Teddy !
So, my date are going to be lost this way ? I can skip the pictures, but the recorded conversations with my wife are the most important for me. It reminds me the "good old time", before she start screaming at me because I forgot to take out the trash... I've hearded of Vysor, Where you can cast your phone on your PC. But to make Vysor work, you need both ADB and your phone on USB Debug. So, is there a way to put the phone on USB Debug with Odin / ADB or anything ?
Thanks for you help again.

Hi, because with last update increased count of people with bricket phone, I just tryed search for way how to repair this phone. It seems, that last possible way how to save your phone is emergency mode.
I would like to notify you, that I didn't tested it (I'm had not luck enough to brick my phone yet ). I just searched and tried write this for help to others.
So, let's go on.
1) If it's not possible connect to phone via ADB (in Adroid SDK/tools run "adb shell") at all you will try next steps. If it will work, you can use another, verified tools like custom recovery or KDZ_FW_UPD (search on forum for more) [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500, )
2) If you fail in previous step, you can try enter into emergency mode manually and try to flash ROM with KDZ_FW_UPD:
Download KDZ updater and uncompress it
http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
Charge your battery to almost full state (I'm not sure, but it can be reason if phone doesn't start)
Turn phone off somehow (remove battery etc.)
Install drivers properly
Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments
Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site
Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.
Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return" and connect USB cable to phone
Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).
Select Type : 3GQCT (I have one report that CDMA mod works too)
Select PhoneMode : DIAG (in case of fail try EMERGENCY, and as last chance use CS_EMERGENCY)
I Recommend do not switch phone off. There was some people, which done it and after they were not be able to turn it on again. If flashing failed, just select some another mode and try it again, again, try shake/connect disconnect, again, again....
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the first step
Press Launch software update
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Make sure that all update was done successfully. Phone should restart itself automatically
Disconnect the USB cable from the phone
Press the three button combo for HW reset of device i.e volume up + home + power button
List to do based on Zecanilis's [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500
3) Still no success? Wait for more "What I can do" or just go to LG and let repair on them.

Please let me know if it works. I just searched for way and I haven't possibility to test this steps for now. I will do update if it will be necessary, same as I will try describe more about software which I founded.
Some experiences from thread(s):
AVanover5: ...It works if you set the mode to CDMA and DIAG. Just to let people know. Not sure if it'd work without the recovery screen or not. I never tried it ironically, haha. Thank you guys.
geejay2: ...Bricking seems to be easily achieved by forgetting to disable the LG Modem driver. Apparently the modem driver interferes during flashing. Also I noted that kdz is not stable under Win2k, I switched to WinXP to flash successfully. I saw several aborted flashing attempts in WinXP with modem driver enabled.
domenic_s:KDZ_FW_UPD doesn't work (Application cannot start) -.- Using Windows 7 64bit version. //edit: allright tried another pc (win xp 32bit) and yeah - it worked... I'm so happy.

About shaking (sorry, but I still can't believe... )
salte_eskil:wow! shaking the phone really worked! seems kind of stupid but thanks to you all at the xda forum for tips and tricks
4wd vege: Now unbricked. Strangely kdz updater only saw my phone after shaking!!!
me2kimi:It sound crazy to shake the phone while at emergency mode. I's crazy but it magic. ...So what I do is connect to usb, Launch software update at kdz while shaking the phone. Then after that kdz is working like normal.

I tried with all possible combination.. with and without battery.. vol- home, vol + return, power vol+ home.. end more.. but phone don't turn on...
In meantimes the phone is in the service LG.. hope...
Exscuse me for my English
Did you had phone off before trying this? And also battery should be charged. I just added this things...
If event that it not show you emergency mode, LG service and warranty is probably the only way how to proceed. Sorry. But I will be searching if another way will exist...
Good work .. I hope that you will find a way to solve ... especially for other users .. good luck
Good work @The_ERROR.
It should work. I think you should also add that the phone mode should be set to Emergency (and not DIAG as mentioned) in the kdz updater.
Moved to development and stickied it for a while!
Thank you!
Cheers

Not really. Gathered some info though. We use emergency mode when the phone boots into only emergency mode else we try CS emergency as last option.
In any case this method will work only if the kdz updater recognises the phone.

I was able to do the KDZ, actually thats the only way possible. Please add this to the list:
1. Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments.
2. Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site.
3. Disable the modem driver.
4. Once done, reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB.
5. Its going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
6. shake the handset - IT DID WORKED FOR ME.
My suggestion don't give up. It took me around 14 hours to bring the handset back to original firmware and here I am today trying to boot the rom once again.
7. UPDATE AND ENJOY.

Thanks, I will do!! Only about 4 and five.
First reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB
and then
It's going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
So, whats about if phone didn't go into emrgency itself (for example stuck on Android logo)?

I am talking about phone getting into Emergency mode, KDZ doesn't need to switch to CS_EMERGENCY or EMERGENCY Switch off the phone first, then you are either connect it to USB cable or you can remove it from the USB cable. Key combination to bring the phone only in emergency mode are:
1. Connected to USB cable, only thing visible is the LG logo, this is because its getting charged. Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON
2. Not connected to USB cable and is not charging and so switched off: Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON + POWER BUTTON
In both the cases phone will switch to a yellow screen showing: "Emergency mode!!" and will remain like that.
It's only in Emergency mode that the handset will be detected like a USB drive and can be KDZed.
I seriously doubt the "Shake your phone part". It just sounds so ...
Peace

OK, I edited it. But I kept possibilities of EMERGENCY and CS_EMERGENCY modes if standard way failed. About switch into emergency, I think that it does not matter which way for emergency is used.

Hi all! The rooting guide of Intratech given here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 DOES NOT WORK! I have an SGS II Kernel version of KE8 (India) and I tried to follow the steps given in the guide, but when I open ODIN and connect my phone in Download mode with my laptop via USB Cable, ODIN is not connecting to the phone. The box meant to turn yellow does NOT change color. Nothing happens at all. Why is this so? I cannot post in the relevant thread because I am a newbie in the forun
Have you installed kies first to get the drivers?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, of course, I have the latest version of Kies installed on my laptop and I use it regularly to connect with my SGS II. I kept Kies closed when trying the rooting procedure as mentioned in Intratech's guide. Started phone in download mode. Opened Odin on laptop, then connected phone via USB........the box which is supposed to turn yellow on connection, doesn't light up. Nothing happens at all.

I suggest to you that the overwhelming majority of the people who use the guide will disagree with you and provide evidence to the fact that it does, indeed, work. The fact that it does not work for you suggest that you are doing something wrong or have a problem with your computer.
I would suggest that you ensure that KIES is also closed in the system tray of your computer before opening Odin and connecting the phone. Also ensure that your computer has an internet connection and is able to connect to windows update to download and install drivers. If that doesn't work then change USB port or computer.
By all means, if you find a way that works then feel free to write your own guide. More information is good and maybe others might find your method, if you discover one, easier to follow.
@Intratech: Hi. Thanks for your reply. Ok, so it is not working for me. Can you help?
My laptop is working on Windows 7 Home Premium which is upto date in all respects. My USB port is working fine as I am able to connect my SGS II to Kies through that. Kies was closed when I tried to connect to Odin. Odin version is 1.85. While the phone (in download mode) is connected to the laptop, and Odin is Open, nothing happens. Nothing.

Is kies closed in the system tray as well?
Yes, Kies is closed in system tray also. Fully closed. Odin opens, and I see the Odin screen as per your screen shots, but the box which is supposed to light up yellow, does not.
Are you using the Samsung USB cable or a HTC one?
Samsung USB cable which came with the phone box pack. I can see the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes checked. Nothing else is checked, not even the PDA button. The box saying ID:COM (which is supposed to light up) is blank.
u need to check pda and load the file u want to flash it
then click on start
Look in your program and features list, found in control panel, and see if you have a listing for Samsung USB driver for mobile phones there. If you do then uninstall it and uninstall KIES. Download a new copy of KIES from Samsung and install it. After installing it, make sure you don't have USB debug ticked, connect the phone and leave it until all the drivers install. After that remove the device and lose KIES. Put the tick in USB debugging and connect the phone and leave it so that any needed drivers install. After this put the phone in download mode and connect it, without opening KIES or ODIN, and leave it to download any drivers needed. If it downloads and install any drivers wait for it to finish, once it does then you can go ahead and use Odin normally.
If this doesn't work your PC is at fault, fix it.

How you going to flash without connecting to the device?
Turn USB debugging off on phone .USB connection should be to a motherboard port .
Reboot phone set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode .
Connect cable wait for Windows to load drivers . You should be able to browse phone via Windows explorer if USB drivers are correct .If so remove cable and reboot phone to download mode . Open Odin select files to load connect cable .
That fails then
Rooting guide of intratech does not work! for you your PC or your phone but for everyone else so give up .
jje
@cyberwarfare: Yes, I tried that. The file loaded, I pressed start. Yet nothing happened. I just saw one line notification in the left hand side column of Odin, which read something like "successes: 0/failures: 0". I am speaking from memory here. Nothing really happened even after loading PDA and pressing the Start button.
@Intratech: Yes, both Kies and Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones are there in my program list. I downloaded Kies from their India support site : http://www.samsung.com/in/support/d...1&prd_mdl_cd=GT-I9100LKAINU&srchword=GT-I9100
Worth mentioning here that the USB debug check box was ticked when I tried to Root with Odin.
So basically, you're asking me to uninstall & reinstall Kies and its drivers. Ok, will do. It will take time so will do it when I have a little more time on my hands. Thanks for your help & your time. I appreciate. If you have time, then look at my other post here which says, "7 major issues with SGS II" ...... and help with solving my other issues like that of bluetooth not connecting and phone ringer's erratic behaviour. Thanks a ton.
Mate I haven't used the Indian firmware so I'm not too sure about troubleshooting it. There is an Indian thread in the general forum where you may be able to get more help with the issues you have.
@JJEgan: Thanks for replying. All my USB Ports are on the motherboard itself, worth mentioning that the same USB port works fine when I connect the phone to the laptop. Am able to transfer files to and fro via the same USB port.
"set phone to connect in USB mass storage mode".....how do I do that? Where to find that in phone settings?
I am able to browse the contents/files on the phone very well...so this proves my drivers are fine. So which basically means, that Intratech's rooting guide does not work FOR ME! Happy? This may be a problem specific to the India specific phones....Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE8-CL214845

@Intratech: Thanks mate. I've posted my problem in the India specific thread also.....lets see if someone replies. But the problem is not with the rooting procedure, the problem is that I can't even seem to get started with the procedure as there is no connection between Odin and the phone.
Nah, it's not with the firmware. The other Indians who use it have no issue following the guide.
Please try and reinstall everything as I've stated and see if that work. Also, when you go into download mode what do you see on the screen?
In download mode I see a static warning on the screen which tells me of the risk and tells me I have to press the VOL down button to cancel this, and there is a yellow triangle at the bottom. The screen stays there as I connect the USB cable to the laptop.

You need to read the instructions start off by reading what it says on that screen .Do not read half of the instructions like you are its very dangerous flashing if you cannot read and follow the instructions and i advice you dont flash .
The screen message you are not reading is the sentence above the one you posted .
To install custom rom press Vol Up key .

Right this is your problem, you have not put the phone in download mode as yet. Press volume up at this screen to enter download mode and now you will connect.
Hi guys and gals !
So a few days ago i rooted/flashed my friends s5830 regular way and uploaded VillainRom, yesterday he came by my house for he has tried to upload LucaRomv2 by using Rom Manager.
As a result the phone stays dead at "Samsung" logo on regular boot, altough if we plug it in the pc it will detect the modem, sd card(not acessing it for it must have usb debugging enabled) and all, just the screen that doesnt pass "Samsung" logo.
So the logical next step is if we have communication is to press the magic buttons VOL- + Home + power ON, and it does work for it goes to download mode, the only problem is has soon has i plug it on my VM (VBox 4.0) it just spits out usb error on VBox and does not connect.
I have tried all combinations Volume+ (flash mode) all enters, its just that when i plug it to VM it spits out an error.
I can even enter recovery mode by HOME+POWER (and for the looks of the register that show when i enter it it complains it cant find /data, /cache .... so my guess is Bootloader is still ok has it enters all these modes and just need to re-upload rom(basically the os)
So leading to usb error in VM i prompted to fully test my VMUSB everything works ok connecting it (storage drive, my vodafone smart, usb cam) and even the s5830 itself while on regular usb connection. This has worked ok before for this is the computer/vm i used it to flash it originally.
Just to relief up i will try the following today:
Clean format a physical computer with winxp and try do the process without VM in the middle
Should i make the usb jig with 301K ? Has anyone actually tried usb jig on ace ? Whats different from this mode to regular vol- + home + power ? From what it seems its factory download mode i guess, an alternative bloader.
In case of JTAG needed does anyone have flash specs ? I mean offsets and such ... i have access to JTAG tools here at work, just a matter of pinout and see if cpu/flash supported.
What is your general opinion about this ?
I have launched this thread for i have not found any info on this kind of situation, people usually have fully bricked (black screen) or can still access download mode and communicate with pc, i have not found similar characteristics.
Thank you !!
Did your friend a wipe after flashing the rom? If not then go to recovery and wipe Dalvik cache - cache and Data/factory reset.
If this doesn't work put the phone in Download Mode and flash with Odin and after this make a wipe.

steini81: I dont know exactly what he did, i have tried to wipe it via recovery manager but still no go, it still complains on missing mounts /data /cache .... as for flashing with odin i can start download mode on the phone but has soon has i connect it on the usb port of the computer it just gives out an error and does not go online.
Lovetz: I already read that post, the difference is i still can go to download mode, my problem is when i plug on pc it doesn´t go thats why i opened another thread.
--------------------------------
Maybe it´s just Virtualbox playing it´s pranks with async usb, can only eliminate this chance later on for i dont have the sga with me.
how about using a different machine? a machine with the drivers from Kies..
Try it on a Windows PC with Odin and Kies Drivers installed.

Mundix: I´m already using skeys drivers, tried killing processes and not killing them, but this subject goes further then that because i think i have usb connectivity issues, now, it worked ok when i first flashed this device maybe something corrupted my usb1/2 modules for virtualbox (btw running debain squeeze-> virtualbox -> xpsp3, with full usb 2.0 extension loaded (already tried only usb 1.0 only has it has helped before on the first flash). Plus all usb devices work ok, including the samsung itself on "normal" boot so i dont know, maybe has its a raw dump vbox doesnt like it Later on i will format a computer with xpsp3, load skeys, odin and start from there,so basically you agree with my point
Steini81: yeps thats what im gonna do, but i do not use any windows machines all obsd/debian at home and work so ... only virtual, i´ll grab an old borrowed laptop and format it just for this.

Once again i just opened the thread because i havent found anyone with same situation, either its fully bricked or they can usb plugin. No post until now for usb download mode crash. I will follow up here maybe it might help someone in the future, or will confirm brick altough bloader boots and phone detected on "normal" mode.

SOLVED !
1 st Run:
Clean XPSP3 *Laptop* - "Unrecognized USB device ...", exactly has ocurring in VM.
No go.
2 nd Run:
USB JIG (tried 299K, 300K, 301K and 302K accurate resistors 1% tolerance) followed by above method.
No go.
3 rd Run:
Load WIN7PRO on a desktop for s-kies was giving problems with framework4 on XPSP3.
No go. "Unrecognized usb ..." just like on the laptop with XPSP3
Thats when it hit me, "some" devices(MODEM, STORAGE) load ok, odin driver does not, so it does have partial usb communication, this made me go way back in time when i had a USB MSI WIFI that would only work stable under USB 1.0 and was buggy under 2.0, so ...
Step 1 - Take the dust out that powered USB 1.0 Hub from drawer;
Step 2 - Make pigtail from internal desktop 12Vcc to power usb hub for Vcc stability
for power supply been lost like 4 house moves ago(yes i could go external powerless but ... just in case);
Step 3 - Cook a good home meal and mix it with some fine red wine;
Step 4 - Hook up usb hub, let win7 install, hook up SGA while on DOWNLOAD MODE (Vol- + Home + Power) and you can have the batery installed, no need to hot plug it, connect to usb hub.
Step 5 - Be amazed has it detects "Odin" has a new device and Odin square turns yellow just waiting for you to press start ...
*Personal Note : Do not stand up quickly after step 3 !
Now, the funny thing is if i move the USB 1.0 HUB to the XP SP3 Laptop its also a go, same results for in my Virtualbox install. Notice i tried it on 2 physical/1 virtual computer under VBOX4.
In conclusion:
If your SGA still boots to "samsung" and lets you get in Download/Flash/Recovery but gives out an USB communication errors, but still installs some devices like MODEM/Storage, all of this after a run from ROM MANAGER, please *DO* try to put an usb 1.0 hub between your computer and your SGA.
At this moment it works like a charm and i´ve just uploaded coderom.v2x-02, altough if i remove the USB HUB its back on the same problem, trough the hub it works ok aside i have 1.0 transfer speeds ...
Now, some help on debugging, arent there any logs on the system i could analyse? Should i dump trough JTAG ? What could of happened so that it has this symptom now ?
Anyways thanks for those who tried to help, just hope this helps someone in the future !
Hello guys, first of all sorry for my bad english but i need your help. I have a big trouble, my phone fell to the ground and got broken display and touchscreen. I tried recovery my data but when i plug the phone with usb cable it loads in the pc but looks empty, i think because i have the pin number for the sim card (tried removed but it doesn't work ) and i have another for the android system but i can't insert the number for unlock the phone. I haven't samsung account, i haven't enabled the usb debug mode and i don't know how the hell get in my phone!! I have tons of picture to save in dat phone and any backup aviable. I don't wanta buy another display, is there another way to control this smartphone with my computer with broken display/touch, pin number and usb debug mode disabled? Pls help me boys!
Have a new screen fitted. If kies cant do it and you cant flash nothing your options are limited.

You can't access your data while the phone is locked because android blocks mtp... If all you want to do is access your internal storage, you can try flashing TWRP in Odin and then accessing your internal storage using mtp in TWRP.
Try the following:
boot into download mode with home+volume down+power, after some time press volume up to confirm download mode activation
flash TWRP via ODIN (dropbox#com/s/3ir2eqsx8ewgj8m/twrp-2.8.7.3-i9300.tar?dl=1 Link for twrp-2.8.7.3-i9300.tar)
after you notice successful flash in odin: prevent auto-reboot by long pressing power-button
reboot to recovery mode | with home+volume up+power
connect s3 with usb, MTP connection should be enabled by itself
tricky part is at point 4./5.

I think the answer of your problem is to open your Google account.
I've been flashing custom roms on android devices for several years, but the Gtab S3 is the first Samsung device I've ever dealt with. On top of that I normally use ubuntu and I'm not familiar with window. I'd be most appreciative for your help with odin:
1) When I first plugged the S3 into a window machine I thought it would complain about lack of usb driver. It does not, to my surprise (it seems unlikely that that laptop would have the drivers already installed but maybe I was wrong); nothing happens on the Window side, and S3 says that it's getting slow charging.
In any case I installed the OEM usb driver in https://www.xda-developers.com/where-to-download-android-usb-drivers/ and then plug in the S3, but again nothing happens.
2) I installed odin 3.12.7 but it does not seem to see my S3 (see the attached screenshot).
3) The OP of this thread says
"put your device in download mode"
How?
I did try to google around but I have not been able to find useful help (e.g. as the screenshot shows my odin does not look like the one in step 6 of www.techbeasts.com/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-using-odin/). I enable USB debuggin mode & OEM unlock.
Many thanks for your generous help.
Maybe I cam help.
First have odin up on your pc with the usb cable plugged into the pc but not the tab.
Then with the tab turned off simultaneously hold the power, vol down, and home buttons. The tab should boot into download mode. Hit vol up to get into download.
Now plug the usb cable into the tab.
You should see odin recognize your device and then be able to flash.
You need the Samsung USB drivers and DOWNLOAD mode.
