I wiped cache and davik but i think i accidently clicked on system, that's only explanation why phone would be stuck in bootloop, and twrp says there's no OS installed, it'd be easy to unbrick with odin but... usb port is kinda dead, fast charging while using bad usb cable burned charging port, i thought replacing only connector would fix, it did at some point (charging chip on board is damaged), it takes 6 hours to charge from 0 to 100, fast charging isn't working, it is detected by pc but can't tell what is connected, just reacts that something is plugged in and uninstalling/installing samsung drivers also triggers it, but it can't do anything else, Galaxy S6 doesn't have sd card slot (cmon samsung) so is there any way to unbrick phone exept replacing whole daughterboard?
my idea is to use terminal to download img, is it possible?
anyone?

Ok so i tried to install a new rom because my AOKP Rom wasnt connecting to my PC so i thought.
Ok so here is the problem. Half way through installing a rom, some how my phone crashes, after waiting 5 hours just incase i ripped out the battery and thought i will reinstall a rom that works the CWM. Nice and easy so i thought until i couldn't access CWM. So now i have a non bootable block of plastic and a screen.
Next i put the phone into download mode expecting to use Odin to just reinstall everything from scratch however my computer cannot recognise my Device. It says USB device not recognised and doesnt show up a drive letter on my computer. Any ideas of how to fix this?
No 1) let me make this clear it is not a driver issue, as all the correct drivers are installed and my girlfriends GS2 works fine.
No 2) it doesnt matter which computer i try to connect it to it wont work.
No 3) i have tried it with and with out Samsung Kies.
No 4) The batter is charging so the port cant be completly dead.
So how do i install anything on the phone if a computer cannot access it?
I even thought of trying to use killdisk to wipe any dodgy partitions but of course this wont recognise this device as a drive letter.
Please please can any body help or should i just assume the usb port is Dead.
Hi guys, i realy need your help, my phone is dead.
My I9100 worked fine for two years, I flashed lots of custom firmwares by Odin. Half a moth ago, when I was going to sleep, I plugged in the charger as usually, and noticed, that it started beeping occasionally. On the display it indicated smth like: Charging... than Not Charging... than Charging and so on.
I thought that I plugged the charger incorrectly and replugged it, but it didn't helped. I was very tired and just simply turned the soud off and left the phone charging. In the morning it indicated that it is charging even when the charger was unplugged.
So I've flashed the firmware - no help, than kernel from stock to fillz - no help , than siyah than again to stock - no help. All flashings were maid via CWM. I realized that flashing will not help when I turned off the phone and it was indicating that it is charging.
I decided not to do anythig. Only USB mode didn't worked because when you want to use your phone as USB you should open the apropriate mode on the phone than there will be smth like : plug the USB data cable to enter the USB data transfer mode. I couldn't do this because my phone thought that the cable is already plugged. In forums i've got hints that my micro usb should be cleaned or small board should be replaced. So i decided to clean it. I disassembled the phone and cleaned that board with micro USB. Than turned on the phone, and connected the cable. Phone recognized it and I managed to transfer files from pc to phone. From this point I can say that all terminals on micro USB are ok.
When i unplugged the cable, phone thought that it is plugged((
The most awful part:
I decided to flash it one more time and go to stock via backup made by CWM a year ago.
But during this process the phone made a reboot by itself and after that there was no loading. I can see only name of the device and thats it.
No recovery. Only download mode.
When i connect it to PC in download mode, there is a sound that USB is connected but the device is Unknown. There is no any information about this device in dev manager on PC. I tried two USB cables, all usb ports, two laptops, all versions of USB drivers for my phone.
Earlier, drivers worked well, but now i can't understand where is the problem: Is the problem still connected with my micro usb port or i just erased boot sector and it is already brick.
I gave my phone to service center, they told that they can't help me with this. They say that usb is ok, we don't know why it is not detecting by pc.
Can the board replacement help in this issue or maybe i can do smth. in linux with my device ??? I'll appreciate any suggestions.
Yesterday I talked to representatives of service center and they told me that the problem is that internal memory is damaged and they cant flash the phone.
I took the phone and tried to flash it via Heimdall with brick fix pit.
After using this pit file, the phone was flashed normally and even turned on normally.
But in the phone info menu I saw no any data about internal memory. (It was damaged and required format). I tried format through phone menu and it did nothing.
I decided to flash the phone via Odin with normal 16 GB pit file and had a bad luck. I experienced freez during repartition. After this, phone is a complete brick.
When I connect it to PC without battery pressing vol down and rower buttons it connects as unknown device but there is nothing on the phone display. No recavery no download mode. Nothing - just reflection of my frustrated face).
Currently i'm tring to make a Jtag, maybe it'll put it in the download mode, but hope is dying....
I've herad somewhere that it is possible to put it in the download mode in linux. If somone did this, could you please give me the contact of this person?
Hello, I have issues connecting my S3 international model (i9300) to any PC. It has CM11 since at least 6+ months and it worked just fine and connected to my PC two days ago just fine.
Some days ago, it started bootlooping because of the common power button stuck problem [turned on by itself when battery inserted, and rebooted in the Samsung logo, which doesn't even let you go to DOWNLOAD mode or Recovery because it just reboots after a few seconds]
Yesterday I disassembled it following fixit guides and youtube step by step guides to make sure I didn't break anything. I saw the button problem was internal (the button apparently works fine, but internally it has a closed circuit so it seems as pressed). I assembled my phone again and went to bed. Today it was working without bootloop. I saw this as an opportunity to make all the required backups just in case it went to bootloop again but I couldn't get anything from it. Windows doesn't recognize it at all, not even during boot. Here is what I tried:
*Tried in several PCs/Notebooks/OS with different cables that work with other phones
*In all cases it charges the battery, but the PC doesn't see it as a device.
*I rebooted the phone by software (so I don't press the power button at risk of getting bootloop again) going to terminal emulator and using 'reboot' command.
*Rebooting the phone connected to the PCs doesn't either cause any device to be detected by the PC during the booting of the phone.
*Thinking it might be the port of my phone, I tried an OTG adaptor and several pendrives. They all were detected by the phone and I was able to write and read the USB drives.

At first I suspected I left a ribbon/flex cable not connected to the board, but being able to use OTG USB drives and being able to charge it didn't convince me it was the case. I want to avoid disassembling it without knowing first which ribbon to look at and any other test/information you could tell me to provide in order to find the solution.
Hi, long time ago i think i installed a wrong kernel on my phone and since then my phone stucked in recovery opening animation, however even tho i tried to fix it through Odin my PC doesnt recognize my phone like it used to, I sended the phone to an expert at a local store to replace my usb port (cuz i though that's the case it couldnt even charge or connect to the PC) and he DID manage to charge my phone after changing my USb port, however when i came home and tried to connect it to my PC, it wouldnt connect or charge either and i used over 4 cables wich all of the seem to work with my other phone, HELP i dont know what to do
Hi,
I have a Hisense u989 pro with a custom recovery installed, I performed a restore from a previous backup. After completed, when wanting to reboot, I saw a msg "No OS installed, leaving the phone connected to my pc and charging via usb, my wife needed a usb cable and unplugged my phone. when I returned some time later the phone was completely dead.
Some issues: Phone not charging or switching on, cant boot into recovery or fastboot, sp flash tool not detecting phone via usb cable, tried different usb cables, cleaned the micro usb charging port. left phone connected to charger for over 24hrs and still nothing. Im unsure whether it could be the charging port or the battery.
Ive got the hisense u989 pro stock rom, i just need it to switch on. Any advise or assistance to resolve my phone issue will be appreciated.\
thanking you
