Samsung a315g/dsl dead - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi am sick right now caused i messed up i trying to google frp my sm-a315g/dsl device and it kept freezing so i decided to try flashing individual files (yeah I should get some good licks for that ) so i started with the bootloader file it was successful but now the phone won't turn on at all not even charging. I tried brom tp but i don't have the right scatter files. Can anyone help me SOLVE my problem that I caused.

What scatter???
You can't flash idividual files just like that.
You can only flash stock firmware, if you want other then you need to unlock bootloader and root your device!
So you need to flash latest right stock firmware with right region using ODIN in order to fix your device....

The phone not reading to work with Odin thats why am trying via Brom TP unless there is another way to get it show on Odin, cause the phone is not powering on to enter download mode.

Check SP Flash Tool with MTK drivers for MediaTek Helio P65 (MT6768).
Factory images fastboot stock firmware to be downloaded (not odin)

Bricked G2 Mini

Hi! I've managed to brick my device (d610ar) badly, i think
the device doesn't boot normally (message "Secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify.", and i am stuck there), can't charge it with the wall charger, and the only thing that works is download mode; but flashing a kdz with LG FlashTool (the way i went back to stock a few times) says flashing and at 2% (or 3% sometimes) it says that doesn't find the device, that i have pull out the battery to reconnect my device again and when i do that it does the same thing on a loop, asking to do it again later..
the funny thing is that it appears on device manager on windows, on com port 11 for example, but the FlashTool doesn't recognize it..
so, i can't flash any kdz and doesn't boot.. i've read around here in xda to enter fastboot to fix it, but.. can this device enter fastboot? i couldn't do it, tried adb too and couldn't make the device visible..
i, before this happened, had multirom installed, rebooted to recovery and deleted secondary roms to install in primary rom cm12.1.. there started to happen strange things when rebooted normally to configure it..
after a while trying to boot found around here in xda too that i could enter twrp recovery via hardware keys to reinstall again, so got into it and installed a flashable zip to come back to stock KitKat directly, that have worked for me before..
after that rebooted and i can't do anything else than download mode..
i kinda figured that the problem must be that multirom injected the boot sector after installing the stock flashable zip, and when i did that restored the stock aboot and abootb (these, modified carefully, allowed us to unlock bootloader and flash recoveries, etc, etc.. ; by the way, many thanks to the devs that discovered it and made the guides!)..
now i have read the instructions for flash via fastboot the stock boot.img and so pass the security verification, but i can't enter it..
so, what do you think that could be the next step? or is it really hard bricked and i should forget about it? i'm really hoping to recover it but i don't know what else to do..
sorry for the bad english, not my primary language
thanks for reading and i am hoping to hear some suggestions!
He is not hard bricked you need to flash stock boot and reunlock bootloader if you have custom recovery still installed, but go first with the eazy way search xda about lg flash tool stuck at 2% there some guides to help you get kdz flashed
Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! You made me realize why wasn't working..
Because of you, i started to search threads related with the "flashtool stuck at 2%" and one of the things to look at was a txt file to see what was the problem.. there i found out that the lg FlashTool recognized my device as LGD618..
That's when i realized that i must've messed up when i flashed a lollipop flashable zip for the D618(a while ago), "converting" my cellphone on that model.. so when i connected on download mode and put the LGD610 kdz the comparison of cellphone model and binary model didn't match..
Solution was to flash LGD618 kdz, boot up normally, install towelroot, install supersu, edit a line on build.prop
from persist.multisim.config=dsds to persist.multisim.config=none
rebooted and that's it.. everything works perfectly now! i won't be doing stuff to it for a while
probably will stay stock like that, because now i will be using an OnePlus One in a few days and the G2 mini will be used by my mother, i think..
Thanks again! You saved my device for being bricked forever
i glad i could helped you :good:
I tried installing kitkat having installed lollipop and did not work, also I tried installing lollipop and nothing. Well I think this update lollipop are adding some kind of lock to disallow downgrade or upgrade by KDZ. I try other methods, unlocking bootloader, and install a aboot.img, bricked my phone. I recommend that you do not attempt to unlock the bootloader and install any system image that is not official, or may end up with a dead device.

Flash zip in download mode

Hey
Yesterday I flashed a boot logo on my SM-G928F in TWRP. After that my phone doesn't boot into system or recovery anymore - there's always a blackscreen. I only can boot into download mode.
I tried to flash a stock-rom via Odin but that didn't helped - the same blackscreen, because a stock rom does not replace the boot logo.
I think I have to flash the stock boot logo ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1378RQ5w_vAAmnQ3HB0FymZXWIm12T0Mg/view ) , but thats a zip which I can't flash via Odin.
There a two ways in my mind which could work:
1. Getting a tar.md5 file with the stock boot logo.
2. Getting a tool which allows to flash zips in download mode of the phone.
I really hope that someone could help me with my big problem.
Best regards
DGB
Hey there
I recommend to flash the firmware again but this time after flashing firmware flash the twrp and flash the zip via adb sideload ( a feature present in TWRP) as by adb sideload one is able to flash zip files as well
Or i recommend you to get to know the combination of keys that will help you to directly enter into recovery
Hope it will work
And if there is any problem let me know
As in the internet there are various ways by which a person can flash the custom rom and custom recovery via odin
Look at this link:-

Thank you for your answer but that didn't worked. The problem is that flashing the stock firmware doesn't replace or repair the boot image. So I've got a never ending blackscreen when I want to boot in system or TWRP/Recovery and that means that I'm not able to configure ADB Sideload.
I can only boot into download mode, nothing else.
I think the jpg of the boot logo I've installed was corrupted so it can't be loaded
You are in download mode so you have to press all the keys including the home button and once the download mode closes then press the "volume up key and power key and also the home button and then your phone will automatically reboot into recovery.
I know, I tried that multiple times but it doesn't work. Blackscreen... only a never ending blackscreen. The download mode is the only thing taht works. I have to flahs the old boot logo via download mode... but i don't know how
Wait for the battery to be drained out completely and then do what i said earlier

I did. but it didn't work, too
I really need someone who is able to integrate the stock boot logo into a custom rom which can be flashed via Odin... Or I need a tool which allows to install zips in download mode. I tried adb sideload again but it didn't recognizes my phone when its not in recovery.
I really think that my S6 edge + is nearly died :crying:

Not even flashing a factory firmware (4 files with pit) with repartition option selected?
What about a combination firmware and then a full stock FW?

I only tried to flash stock firmware with AP in Odin... and I tried stock rom with re-partition.
Where do I get those 4 files? I need XEU for my SM-G928F. It would be very nice if you could give me a more detailed instruction for this because I never worked with PIT...
get samfirm v0.3.6
On the model you put sm-g928f, region XEU, tick the binary nature box and press "check update". Download the resulting file, that is a factory firmware to do repairs in a 4 files format: bootloader, pda or ap, modem or cp and csc!
You will get this file:
SM-G928F_1_20180305151001_nsg8uwd0sh_fac.zip
Put each file in the correct field in odin!
About combination firmware, it needs to be same binary version as stock firmware already programed on phone! if first number on firmware version is a 3, combination FW need to be also bin 3!
G928FXXS4CRB4 if is 4, you need comb fw also in bin 4! if you downgrade you get odin error and a softbrick!
Was checking if any comb. fw is available, but i find only paid files for your phone model!

It worked means you got your phone back to normal or you could get the firmware using samfirm?
Pit file is always inside csc file on a 4 files fac firmware. Use the pit on firmware because the pit from your link can be from a early version of android and have different bits for partition sizes!
EDIT: Here, got the combination fw for the binary 4. IF your phone is already ok, don't use this!

You should never remove the battery of your phone when an update failed , you just corrupted your system.
What you have to do now is enter in bootloader mode , plug you phone to your PC , and flash the stock system.img and boot.img.
Search how to do that on your device , watch videos and guide on XDA , then do this.
Remember to always make a backup of your system before doing that.
TY for the fast answer!
do you mean the recovery mode(home + power + vol.up)? i cant enter anything except of the downloadmode (home+power+vol.down). I extracted the boot.img and system.img from the tar.md5 file with 7zip and coverted it to .tar, can i flash that per Odin the same way i tried to flash the whole firmware? and if yes, in which order should i do it or sould i convert boot.img and system.img to one single .tar file? sry i googled more than an hour but didnt find instructions to do this. just the extracting and converting part and thousands of how to flash whole firmwares or fixes via smartswitch-.-

I'm not an Odin expert at all , but I think you should use the .IMG file , starting with the system.img , and after the boot.img
But I'm not sure at all , take another hour to make searches.

Need help, bricked my ASUS Zenfone Live L1

Just a little disclaimer: I am an ABSOLUTE NOOB at this stuff and I just followed tutorials and guides; no experience whatsoever and I badly need your help
It all started when I wanted to root my phone. So I decided to install a custom recovery on the phone first(CWM to be exact). I flashed the recovery.img file and soft bricked my phone. I managed to fix it easily just by erasing recovery by using adb. Afterwards, recovery was accessible again. Since I couldn't do it that way, I tried downloading the phone's latest firmware from ASUS' website and pulled the boot.img out of it and patched it with Magisk. Flashed it and boom, bricked my phone. I tried fixing it the same way I did with the recovery.img but it didn't work. I even tried erasing it and flashing the original boot.img file I pulled out of the firmware file I got from ASUS' website, but it wouldn't work; it would boot up, show the ASUS logo, then shut off. Please, tell me there's a way through this, and btw the phone's bootloader was unlocked for sure; I used ASUS bootloader unlocker from the website. I have all firmware files already downloaded in case I need 'em.
UPDATE: I flashed a boot.img form an older firmware file from the same website and it kinda worked. It boots now and it seems to be stuck on the Zenfone logo now :/
Hey. I remember that you can boot into adb mode and then do
adb sideload "yourfirmware.zip"
The instruction holds true for earlier zenfones. See if it works here.
I have the same phone, but is dead, no recovery, no fastboot mode, no screen.
What can i do?. My pc just detect QDloader driver help plz.

Question A52 5G Bootloop after Flashing Magisk Patched boot.img

I wanted to root my A52 5G (SM-A526B) i first unlocked the bootloader
then i downloaded my Firmware with Frija and patched the boot.img with Magisk then i went into download mode and flashed it with Odin
Odin gave me a Green PASS Message and i knew i needed to factory reset with recovery mode but i couldnt get into it then i got into a boot loop with the Samsung Galaxy Bootlogo
then i tried to flash Twrp with odin to factory reset because i couldnt get into the stock recovery mode Odin again gave me a PASS Message then i tried to get into recovery mode but it still didnt work and now im trying to flash Stock Firmware but cant get it to work what should i do
The picture is what happens when i try to boot please help me to flash stock firmware
When i try to flash Stock Firmware it fails at the very end on vbmeta.img
The a52 5g doesn't have twrp currently. Also, you might have flashed the incorrect firmware.
Plus, just for you to know, you do not need to do factory reset after flashing your firmware. What steps have you taken to flash this firmware? How did you patch magisk? Show the steps so we can help you cuz you might have done something wrong
Ok it seems that your mistake here is that you are trying to flash boot.img. so what you actually suppose to do is to download the firmware, take the AP file from the firmware(don't extract the file!). Then, move the file to your phone and download magisk on your phone. You will see that magisk is offering you to install magisk on the top corner of your screen. You need to choose to patch the file, the AP file. Once magisk done, on your file explorer(probably in downloads) a file called "magisk_patched xxxx.tar" (the xxxx representing the version of magisk). Take this file and copy it to your computer, and on Odin, instead of using the AP file, use the magisk file. Boom, done. Now first, we need to recover your phone to its original condition. Take the AP file and flash it(not the boot.img!)

Try flashing other parts of firmware, not just AP
i.e. BL, CSC and CP
But don't add home_csc (USERDATA).
If all fails, you can use EDL mode to flash firmware
