Try reinstalling drivers
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

like by uninstalling kies? and what else?

can you get to odin and flash the EG30-Revision 5 tar file?
use a jig from ebay if you cannot get into download mode

jtag repair is usually the only option when you can't get into download mode or recovery. Looks like you boinked your USB mounting in the phone with a bad flash.

Well I would still go with the suggestion to try a different PC.
Otherwise: What version of Windows are you running? Does the driver get installed successfully (can you tell)?
Edit: What version of Kies do you have installed?
I'm using xp, well I have no devices without drivers installed?

Help Please: Phone not booting up

Strange thing happened to my phone yesterday night. I was watching netflix for a while and after some time the screen just went blank. I am not able to restart the phone. It got struck in the kernel bootup(Darkside kernel, TDJ's darkside rom) and it was restarting again and again till i remove the battery.
I am able to get into recovery mode but not able to restore any of my backup's. It just went blank during restoring system. I tried installing the same ROM(Darkside Digitsl warfare v2.5.1) from my internal SD card but it just went blank after some time. I tried the juggernaut-5 . It didnt throw up any error but when i restart it its again displaying the darkside kernel and boot looping.
Any one can you please help me to get out of this mess. I need to travel on Monday so desperately need my phone fixed before that. Please help. I have not installed anything new over the last 1 month and didnt have any problems till now. Thank you
System Details:
ROM: Darkside Digitsl warfare v2.5.1
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7
Flash super wipe kernel cleaner then reflash the ROM then go back if you made a nandroid backup restore the data and system

Try it again. The phone has to be in download mode before you plug it into the computer. And are you flashing it as PDA? People have reported it taking a couple tries.
Usually if you can get into download mode you can fix it. If you're stuck and your computer won't recognize your phone, try getting back into download mode. If you're sending it in for repair anyways, it's better to have a full brick so they can't see that you rooted.
Another option if you can't get into download mode, buy a USB Jig, they are usually less than $10 and they can sometimes get you back into download mode.

What screen are you talking about? The download screen?
If you're seriously wanting to give up trying, and want to brick it, try flashing a stock rom from a different phone via Odin.

So Am i good for an warranty exchange? or will samsung would be able to know i installed custom roms. In the ODIN mode it still shows custom binary mode as NO.
The strange thing is i didnt do anything on my phone for last 1 month. The only thing i could think off is, one of scheduled titanium backup ran at 3.00 AM when i was in netflix with the phone charging,and i got a msg that the backup failed. When i woke up it started boot looping. And during the ODIN i tried today, I was making sure i am doing right by following the guidelines(ODIN back to stock).
I have all my nandroid backups(different rom versions) & titanium backups, will i be able to use it in my new phone after rooting with the same recovery version?
Thank you. I really appreciat all your help.

Are you running Odin as administrator?
Manually download the device drivers from the how to root thread and install them on your computer. right click on Odin and run as administrator. Open the stock rom file in the PDA field and run it.. There is no reason it shouldn't work if you can get into download mode.
Try downloading the stock rom again, maybe it's a bad download.

[SOLVED] Galaxy SIII recovery issue

Hello,
Let me start off by saying if this is the wrong place to post this please inform me of the right forum.
I just recently got a Samsung Galaxy SIII (on August 29) and everything was working really well, until today. Yes it is rooted. I plugged the phone into my computer and Kies said there was a firmware update for my phone. I began doing the upgrade and my beloved windows computer got the blue screen of death during the actual update process.
After restarting my computer, I began to do the update recovery to continue with my upgrade. Same blue screen. I spoke to a rogers tech rep and he requested I re-install my Kies software, which I did. Upon having no success from that I began to do more research, however most of them are saying to reflash the stock firmware (which I have) using ODIN. I have no success here as well. Every time i do get into download/recovery mode, ODIN recognizes my phone, but fails when i click start.
In my recovery mode the information i see is as follows:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-1747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
QUALCOM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Is there anything at all I can do to fix this? Or am I one of those most unfortunate people who just got screwed lol.
ANY assistance is VERY MUCH appreciated!
Thanks in advance
If you have clockwork recovery, try formatting the system first then flash the ROM. Just dont reboot without flashing the ROM first.
Have you tried the emergency firmware load through KIES?

thank you for the quick reply! sorry for my late one, just got home from a family emergency...
no I don't have CWM.. I'm very familiar with it though I didn't put it on my SIII (i was planning to do so tonight)
I've tried the emergency firmware, however it asked for a code which I don't have :S
I'm new to Samsung's version of Android, previously I owned an Xperia X10

I think I just bricked my note 2

So I am at a point where Odin is failing to flash the stock firmware, maybe an issue with partition. I can't boot into the phone it says there was an issue with the firmware upgrade and to use kies.
Odin now wont even connect.. just says setup connection and gets stuck there..
any ideas?
Try reinstalling note 2 drivers. Boot into download mode. Then connect phone to PC. Oh and make sure kies isn't installed. Sometimes kies and Odin don't play nice together.

I resolved it. Was using a usb3.0 port on my comp which was causing odin to fail.

[Q] Bricked! What to do next?

I just bricked my Samsung Galaxy S2x (SGH-T989D). :crying:
I was trying to install the latest CWM recovery and Cyanogen ROMs. It all seemed to go smoothly, but then when I rebooted the phone it stuck on the Cyanogen animation - I left it for more that 15 minutes with no change. At that point I pulled the battery and restarted in recovery mode.
For some reason, the phone would freeze or reboot when I tried to clear the cache directory. The log showed errors that it couldn't access that cache directory either.
To make a long story short, I tried to use ODIN to reinstall the recovery and it crashed half way through. There was a Windows error that ODIN has stopped working and my only option was to close the app.I left the phone for a few minutes but nothing was happening, so I pulled the battery.
Needless to say, now I don't get any activity on the screen. ODIN doesn't see the phone. When I plug the USB cable I get a QHSUSB_DLOAD device under "Other devices".
I do have the Qualicomm QHUSB drivers and a copy of QPST (v 2.7.323 from 2008), but I doubt that will help me much.
What do I do next? Is there any way to fix this? It's a Koodo phone, but I doubt that they'll take it as a warranty repair/swap as it's been unlocked so I can use it on Rogers.
Thanks for ANY help at all! (Even name calling!)
Well if you got $50 bucks check out mobiletechvides
Is.com they will JTAG it for you for around 50 bucks which is ur only option at this point or send it in for a warranty swap out

I should have mentioned that I have three of these phones, so there are two I can use to get stock images from, if I can figure out how.
I have connectivity to the phone using QPST... (screen capture attached).
Does anyone know if it's possible to use QPST to capture an image from a good phone?
I've tried to connect to COM8 with PuTTY, but it is unable to open a connection.
Well you're just soft bricked because you didn't wipe system before flashing the new ROM
Easy fix
Odin back to stock ROM (there's a thread in the roll up stickies in dev section)
Odin flash a recovery
Go to goo.im and search under devs gir ericwill and find his openrecovery folder and download twrp 2.4 or just Google search "twrp Hercules 2.5 goo"
Flash it in cwm
Reboot back into recovery
Click wipe
Click advance wipe
Check first 4 options (dalvik, data, system, cache)
Swipe to wipe at the bottom
Now flash your ROM followed by gapps and reboot.

Unfortunately, ODIN doesn't see the phone at all.
The phone shows up in the Windows Device Mangler as a Qualicomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. (or QHSUSB_DLOAD before I loaded the Qualicomm drivers)
I will take a look at for the posts that you mention though.
Thanks!

Download Mode
I was reading this and i noticed u never said u anything about put ur phone in download mode have u tryed,
You can do that by pressing the Volume Down and Volume Up keys. Keep the buttons pressed and connect your phone to the computer via USB cable. Wait until Download Mode boots.
Just a thought im sure u already tried but it sounds like u had a little bit of life out of since it booted and froze, i recently bricked mine and could get it to do anything theres a guy on pm me ill send u his name jtag for 25$ and have done and back to u less than 7 days!!!:good:
Try opening kies on your computer and selecting emergency firmware recovery. It worked for me when something similar happened to me.

I'm not sure what you mean.
It sat at Setup Connection for an hour.
I've tried on a couple PC's, and using different cables and USB ports.
Is there anything else I can do to verify that the connection is going to work? Use a terminal on the COM port? ADB?
Thanks for the help guys!
Did you try kies? Open kies on your computer and select "emergency firmware recovery“. It will ask you to enter your serial number (take off the back cover of the phone to see the serial number).
That should get you back to stock. Worked for me when I was having the same problem.

At this point I'm going to try for a warranty repair. I haven't had the phone too long and I'm hoping that they don't dig too far when they receive it from me.
Thanks guys!
I'm betting they toss them in a bin if they don't boot! Pretty sure they won't launch an investigation on every phone that gets sent in.
Its the ones that send them in rooted with a custom rom still on them and their volume button quit that get denied warrenty. Lol
