Phone Bricked - Help Appreciated

Okay long story short, I was flashing Kang's Bullet kernel to my phone without the battery cover on (I know, I'm a dumb ass) and go figure, the battery pops out. I put the battery back in, and the phone doesn't boot as I sorta expected.
When I plug my phone into the computer it shows up as a qhs_usb device but it didn't have drivers. I searched around, found the drivers I needed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14909282&postcount=19 . So now my computer and Odin recognize my phone, but when I try to flash the stock kernel back on the phone it gets stuck on "Setup Connection". I'm having the exact same issue as this guy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19091572&postcount=7
Does anyone have any insight as to how to get around this problem? While doing some more searching, I read that a USB jig may work. Will that work with our phones or is that only for the first gen Galaxy phones? Thanks in advance for any help.

Ha. Don't worry. I bricked my phone on my first try too. What I did was connect my phone to odin again, but just rooted it all over again. It worked too. Download the files you need and use odin to root it again. It should work.

yup, just boot into the Download mode, and flash back to stock via ODIN, then you can go from there
a USB jig will definitely make it easier

Thanks for the help so far guys. Okay unfortunately I can't get into download mode. My phone doesn't show anything on the display, make any sounds or anything. I've tried different combinations of pressing the volume up/down key and inserting the USB cable, but Odin still freezes at the "Setup Connection" step. I think its fully bricked because even when I don't press any keys when plugging in my phone my computer still recognizes it as the same device and Odin still freezes. I've attached a pic to show what I mean. The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader device I have expanded in device manager is what my computer sees the phone as, no matter what I do.

*Take the battery out and place it back
*Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug the USB cable in.
That will bring you to download mode
or leave the batt. out for a min. or 2. Also try a different port see if that helps.

Thanks for all the help guys. Unfortunately I can't get it into download mode. I even tried with my friends jig - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0&noredirect=1 but it doesn't work. I'm just going to consider this a loss and see if I can get another phone used on CraigsList or eBay.

How I unbricked mine....
I was having a hard time as well after bricking my phone. In desperation, this is what I did....
I went to another pc, my work laptop, and installed the drivers and installed odin on it. Simply plugged the phone in and flashed via Odin back to stock firmware. All it took was swapping pc's. I was having the same issue............
My guess is that somehow since the original pc "knew" the phone, it couldn't decipher the phone in a different state, but it did prove to work on another pc.
I hope this helps you!

wait until unbrickable mod comes out..lol

You can also trya different usb on your PC. I could always find Odin. Good luck

Thanks, I did try this one last time, but it didn't work :\ . I've already given up hope because I did some more reading and when the phone gets in this mode, it means the eMMC (or something like that) needs to be re-flashed and that's something they have to do at the factory.

Yea but I bought it the first day it came out, not sure they would take it back if I tried to return it. Also it's 100% my fault, so I would feel bad trying to return it. But thanks for the advice though.

Can you still get into recovery?
If so, just flash the stock rom.
Otherwise, if you mean that your note 2 won't start up at all, try getting into download mode.
If you can access download mode, use odin to get back to stock.
As long as you can get into download mode, there is no reason to panic

So it is possible to get into download mode?
I couldn't locate a stock rom that could be used with odin
As long as you can access the download mode you are fine now.
I would wait around a bit to allow some time for developers to come by this post to give you further assistance
As far as I know, you need a .tar file to use with odin.
Since I could not locate the tar file, I will have to let you get advice from someone else.

Doesn't seem fine ATM. But I guess we'll see.

One advice that I will give you is to READ more.
I can't say that I know much, but the fact that you do not even know how to access download mode tells me that you need to learn heck of a lot more.
Being able to access download mode indicates that your phone isn't 'bricked.'
Download mode is what Samsung uses originally to install the roms through odin.
Hence, I can't guarantee your data, but your phone will be functional again - once your rescue arrives.
READ more. Reading more won't hurt a bit - especially when you are faced with the situation that you are in

Use heimdall. And i'm pretty sure sammobile has all available stock roms for the Note2

As I am not familiar with mac, find a pc, download PDA from sammobile, use odin to push it while in download mode.

It's not that I didn't know how to get to download made, it's that I didn't know there was such thing as download mode. When I rooted my phone I did it all on my phone through equinox abuse apk and goo manager so I wouldn't have to deal with crap like download mode and Odin and all of that since I can't even use Odin with a Mac. And believe me when I say that I have been reading. I have not left my computer since this happened.

Okay I am going to use heimdall as it works for Mac. I will try to get the stock AT&T rom from sammobile again but I don't see why it will work this time considering it didn't work last time. What do I use to clean up any remaining root software after I get the stock rom flashed? And how to I return it to a un-modified state so I can return to att and get a new one that has a working SIM card reader.

First I'll assume you're on att. You can get the stock unrooted att rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076745
Second, assuming heimdall works like odin does, youll flash the md5 file you downloaded from the above link and this will wipe your phone. No root, no customization, no data, nothing.

Finally, once you have a stock phone again, if you have the modified count > 0 in the download screen, youll have to follow these directions to clear count: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992303
Edit: last things. You'll have to be able to connect to your phone through your mac using the necessary usb drivers. You may be able to find a pc at a library or coffee shop, etc... this will teach you to be a mac fanboi good luck

I did the same thing last week. Easy fix. Power off first, remove battery if you have to
1. boot into recovery (vol up+home+power)
2. select mounts and storage
3. select mount usb storage
4. copy your rom onto the sdcard in one of the folders
5. unmount usb
6. select install zip from sdcard
7. select choose zip from external sdcard
8. go to folder you copied rom and install
9. reboot

I think I need a "Hey You are Stupid Thread" just for me

First of all, forgive me for my language for I am upset with myself and hope someone can help me. I did not know where to post this, so I figured this was best place. There was not a Dumb ### (edited by VeNuM) Thread or I would have posted there.
I did some dumb stuff and used the Galaxy S2 GT-9100 forums to alter my phone. CWM, KERNEL, and Reset whole phone to GT-9100 cause things were not working lol. I did not realize there are so many versions of the Galaxy s2. Well after all the garbage I did. I am still able to go into ODIN, but I am not able to get my computer to recognize my phone now. There is no ping/notification nothing, no prompt about wrong drivers. After all of this I looked under battery and it was model Model SPH-D710, now in Odin it shows samsung gt-i9100.
Anyone have any advice?

Uninstall all your phone drivers through the device manager or add/remove software. REBOOT. Then start from scratch. It's sometimes easier to put the phone in download mode. I'm not sure why but when I have problems connecting to my phone that always works. And yes... This should have been in q&a.

I'm sorry to tell you this buddy, and it looks like people here do not have enough experience with bricks either. If you've flashed a rom from the international GS2, the only way to fix it is J-TAG. Flashing international GS2 Roms, disable your usb port regardless of Odin functionality.

Thanks for the input xstatik, think a whole group of people moved on to newer phones.Dont know if there are many that know, Thanks for bringing your knowledge

Ok, I know your computer has the drivers, now, download a one click ROM and a kernel tar. Make sure you have a good USB Cable.. Ive had this exact same problem. With a new USB Cable...
open ODIN and find your kernel.Tar for this device. Have it loaded in ODIN BUT the phone disconnected.
Pop out the battery and put it back in
Now put it in DL mode holding power and vol dwn, press vol up to go into Odin mode
With the new cable connect your device
Look at the odin window and you should have a yellow COM port.
Flash the kernel. After it passes, and reboots, follow the same steps above and now flash your stock ROM
Reason being, if you don't have the proper kernel for this device, the ONE CLICK ROM will most likely fail. If you follow this exactly it should work. Good luck.

Yes the phone is bricked (when I developed for this phone I bricked it so I know). Either try the jtag or get another phone. This isssue has been covered in the q and a (where this SHOULD have been. NOT development. I am moving it though...). Also, theres no reason for the language you used. Please read the rules again and follow them. Good luck.

Nexus Dead?!

So, basically I downloaded cm10.1 nightly and it was rebooting every some hour, this morning when i turned it on it immediately started rebooting and it kept rebooting until i pulled the battery.
so i went to the cwm recovery and tried to flash a backup, but whenever i tried to flash the backup it also rebooted..
then i downloaded the google nexus toolkit and thought i could restore my nexus with it, but since i can't boot into android, i can't get adb access...
i'm really lost right now, does anyone know what i can do?

Too many links I believe is usually a USB issue, either port on PC, port on phone, USB cable, or even drivers issues on your PC (as in USB driver issues). I could be mistaken on this, but I seem to remember reading that was the solution to this problem a while back.

[Q] Recovery Help !!

Hi All,
I've been trying to fix and upgrade error I got since two weeks ago. I found in this forum some related issue that I was trying but without luck.
I proceed to explain what I did to know if someone with more knowledge than me could kindly help, I really appreciate it.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (Wifi)
SM-T210
UK version
[Issue Description]
I was trying to root the device, I was searching for different approach to do it and the I select one to proceed, but it was so late and I was too tired that I forgot to enable debug mode, so I tried to update the tablet with a rooted firmware version. The process didn't work at all, but the tablet now is completely gone.
Actually, the tablet display the following information:

1. I download a couple of official firmwares but ODIN is always getting error trying to write into the Complete(Write) operation failed after NAND write operation at the beginning.
2. I've tried with ODIN v3.09 v3.07 v3.06 v3.04 v1.85 and v1.83.
3. If I try to connect to Kies, Kies try to connect to the device but enter in a loop trying to connect. I'm using Kies on WinXP, Win7 and MacOS. In all of them I got the same behavior (loop connection). I'm using the last Kies Version. Also I install serveral times the Samsung drivers. So, it's impossible to connect to Kies.
4. I'm searching for a official firmware and how to configure properly the ODIN but all the official firmware are stored on hotfile but now is not available anymore.
Could anyone of you help me to find a way to recover the tablet, it's the second week and I'm still in the same situation.
Thank you so much in advance.
Regards,
Nano.

Hi All,
I've been trying to fix and upgrade error I got since two weeks ago. I found in this forum some related issue that I was trying but without luck.
I proceed to explain what I did to know if someone with more knowledge than me could kindly help, I really appreciate it.
[Device Information]
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (Wifi)
SM-T210
UK version
[Issue Description]
I was trying to root the device, I was searching for different approach to do it and the I select one to proceed, but it was so late and I was too tired that I forgot to enable debug mode, so I tried to update the tablet with a rooted firmware version. The process didn't work at all, but the tablet now is completely gone.
Actually, the tablet display the following information:
##########################################################################
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-T210
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
HW REV: 0x5
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

Can you boot into download mode? Hold Power, Volume Down, and Home button for 10-15 seconds until you see a warning about Download mode; then hit Volume Up to enter Download mode.

Recovery
Hi gr8nole!!
Thank you so much for your very fast reply.
[Steps done]
a. I've been checking different method to boot in different modes but it's not possible. If I try to boot in a download mode it loads the same screen.
b. I can only switch off the tablet (10-15 seconds power button), but there is not any other screen I can load. I've tried
1. Hold Power, Volume Down, and Home
2. Hold Power, Volume Up, and Home
3. Hold Power, Volume Down
4. Hold Power, Home
5. Hold Power, Volume Up
Apologize for not said that in my first post.

You could try a jig.

I have the same problem, please update if you have found the solution.

1st remove your external SD card....then do this
Boot to DL mode
Flash a CWM Recovery using Odin
Boot to Recovery
Format Every Single folder....an error will be found eg. Not found NVM just ignore it
Wipe Data..Cache and Delvik
Turn off device and go to DL mode
Flash back stock firmware using Odin. The above idea will wipe out every junk in the partitions for a fresh firmware to be pre-loaded.

Thanks but I cannot get into DL mode any key combination would get back into the Firmware issue screen and even when Odin mode is supposedly on according to the screen, Odin would not get pass the Setup Connection stage.

From here forget about DL mode...with Odin follow the steps above..it should flash the CWM

Is there anyway to install a Recovery without a computer? Straight from the phone. .

I made it work according to a previous comment, Macbook was the culprit. I was able to flash CWM from another laptop.

if you know which block or patition your recovery lives in and you are rooted
you can use dd command. place recovery.img in /sdcard,
in terminal
cd /sdcard
then
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p#
# is the mmcblk where your recovery.img needs to be flashed. don't screw it up ! research!
meant in the best way :good:
