I was trying to upgrade my XDA IIs using my card reader but when I run the file named GetBL my XDA went off and it displays "serial" at the top and "v2.07 at the bottom. How can I put everything back to normal? Is there anyone in the Philippines that could help me? Thanx...

Yes I did but nothing happened. Will you give me a hand on this. Is there any other way to put it all back? Thanx....

if it gets detected.. there'll be another question
does it still enter BL (bootloader mode)? haven't been playing with my BA for a long time now, that i have already forgotten how to enter BL mode..
anyway.. if it still enters BL mode.. there may still be a lot of chance reviving it..
AW! i was not able to read the very first post carefully.. you are in the BL or bootloader mode.. to return to normal phone, just reset your device (poke the reset hole at the bottom) or remove the battery, replace it, then hit the power button..
getBL or enterBL is a program that resets your device and lets it enter BL (bootloader) mode.. you need to be in the bootloader mode to be able to flash new/upgrade ROMs..
anyway.. there is a more easier and safer/faster way of flashing roms that does not include the use of the memory card technique.. you only need the USB cable/cradle, your ROM and the RUU (upgrade utility) which will be run on the desktop pc.
where are you located in the phils? maybe i can help you..

[Q] Dead I9082 - I can't turn on my Phone

Dear Friends,
I have Samsung Grand I9082 that was stuck on logo screen.
I tried to flash it many times but I failed because I had the problem of "VHX_21nm_3bitMLC_8GB_p10"
So I downloaded the full flash files from this post in "http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f684/help-samsung-i9082-hank-logo-1780647/".
In the download mode I selected all files ((except the pda file)).
The download process is completed successfully and the phone restarted then screen became blank.
Now the phone is dead I can't open it in any mode even it doesn't be charged and the pc can't recognize it.
:crying:
Please I need your help.
Thanks in advance.

Go through the flashing guides again.
The pda file is which is the ROM file.

I think the problem is software problem so it could solved.
When I connect the phone to PC it is recognized as unknown device not as previous which I could recognize it by Odin.

previously you didn't mentioned that your phone don't even start, as per your later post you said it is recognized as unknown device that means device is able to response to your computer
& if all above is correct then flashing through ubuntu or any linux distro is only your last option cause there is no such thing as unknown device in ubuntu
i had a similar phone that won't boot in recovery nor download mode only blank black screen i tried many option but ubuntu was life saver for me, try it its worth :good:

Yes, Phone doesn't start (no screen, no download mode, no recovery mode, and can't be recognized by ODIN)
But when I connect it to the PC I hear the sound of the connected USB (from windows themes) and in the devices manager it's found as unknown device

Try volume up+connect phone to PC. If it isn't detected try charging it for 30 minutes and then the same thing. If that doesn't work try a different USB cable and/or different USB port on your PC.

i will try and get back to you .. thank you so much i appreciate your help

That sounds exactly like the situation I had. Your motherboard is probably fried. Get it to your service center. Especially if you have the warranty.

I was in the same situation. For me sometimes I got port 9008 and sometimes USB device not recognized. However every time I got a Sahara Fail. Keep trying to flash the s288 row with different cables/ports. That's all I can think of.

he just said he heated on the memory chips or something like that .. apparently the flashing problem was my win 10 device . because once the phone show 9008 com on flashing software the flash process went ok on his win 7 device

There's another thing that I would like to add. When the flashing fails and phone becomes dead(seems dead), it is not in a powered off state i.e. it actually is in a dormant state in some occasions. That is, it doesn't respond to any actions performed like plugging to pc, plugging charger e.t.c.
For older phones with a removable battery, we could simply remove the battery and turn the phone off completely before trying to flash again.
But since newer phones like our Vibe P1 doesn't have a removable battery, we need to switch the phone off manually.
There is a method for that given in this link.
