I am searching the internet for 4 days already and have no clue of what to do. I have already tried to ReFlash a ROM(which failed and broke the system )
I cannot get to the recovery menu or boot the system, but I can go to "Download mode" I have seen a lot of tutorials in which they just flash a new ROM and it does work for them.
I have also tried to turn on "OEM unlock" with ADB but my computer doesn't detect it!

Using all 4? And make sure you give it awhile after flashing, usually takes mine about 10 minutes but I'd give it a few more. If still no then boot into recovery (Power it off and then hold Power + Volume Up + Home) and factory reset. Wipe cache as well and then reboot.

I really cannot understand you, you just download the ".tar.md5" file, remove the ".md5" extension and flash it with Tor using AP and some other options which you can google
Ah, Tor. Not Odin?

Hello,
I dont know IF posting in the right place, but I searched the whole forum for a proper answer how to "unbrick" my boot loop-ed Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830..
Now I've tried installing several firmwares using Odin multi downloader v4.83 but none of them helped me, after all I cant access Recovery Mode!
I can acess Download mode, Emergency Dmod (arm9) and RAMDUMP (arm9)
I have: Android 2.3.3 GingerBread on T-Mobile Carrier (Hungary)!
How did I get here: rooted with SuperOneClick 2.3.2 and used an app for unlock (Galaxy Ace Unlock.apk) witch was probably the main source of the problem... Had no problems until I decided to reboot, rebooted successfully, the problem I had then was No carrier, then tried a second reboot and ever since then I'm stuck into a boot loop with no access whatsoever to RECOVERY MODE.
After installing firmware and waiting the 5 minutes in Odin, my device reboots intro a boot loop after about 2:32 min and nothing can be done furthermore...
I've serched the forum and found that data.rfs is missing in the firmwares... maybe that the source of the problem to... I dont know...
Please help me fix this problem!! Thank you!

You have done everything you could and it's still not fixed (even the things other people did when they had the same problem - it worked for them, but not for you), so warranty is the only other way to get it fixed (or at least replaced).

Thank you for the help Theonew! Appreciate! I've taken it into warranty service, hopefully they wont find my device inappropriate for free service, and so I dont have to pay for it...

Anyway, I've researched this Galaxy Unlock apk. and it seems thats the main source of the problem.

Volume down is download mode.
Hold menu, power and volume up at the same time.
If you have a custom recovery (likw cwm ClockWorkMod) then you would be able to flash a dorimanx kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617219) I would download a 7.x version (newest) and flash it through cwm. Or, of course, if you want a different rom then flash the rom like Muthzer the One said.

superuser is something else then CWM. Superuser is often needed to give root access to apps.
When your in recovery, what does it say on the first line? Maybe Android recovery system or ClockWorkMod, something like that.

Hey,
I have a Galaxy Note I717M under bell, running complete stock, and recently, it just decided it doesn't want to turn on anymore.
I can still access download mode and recovery mode, but when I try to boot into system I get stuck at the samsung logo.
Is my phone soft bricked? Am I able to flash a new rom and move on? If so, am I able to recover all my data that's currently on the phone?
Thanks in advance!

In recovery mode do a factory reset first see if this solves the problem.
yes you can still flash ROMs.
if not flash stock ROM or custom ROM.

Lol. No, PD3 is still BL v2 - you can flash it no matter what current version you're running. And the files are official - they don't harm or corrupt the phone.
eMMC write fail has nothing to do with the files themselves. That's a board-level issue
can we get a re-up
Any chance anyone has these files? I am stuck in boot loop and trying to work around it.

First flash lolipop firmware
With odin untick autorebot
When its flashed directly open youre battery
And turn on but dont let your device boot up then again turn on with vol up + power + home which take you to recovery then wipe data and reset factory
Then rebot and you will get successfully lolipop version.
Hope it will work its worked for me and am using it.

Hey bud, Ive got a J700T, am in serious need of the most recent BL for TMobile (AQF1). Any ideas where to get it? Dealing with what I suspect is a minor mismatch issue that is failing Googles SafetyNet API despite being totally stock now.
If you're wondering - I reflashed the existing AQF1 HOME file from sammobile to unroot, buuut then discovered the HOME file had everything but the BL. So I figure theres a remnant change left in mine thats flagging Googles API.( Lucky I didnt attempt changing versions or i'd be bricked and ticked.)
