Anyone know how to get synergy logo off with out being rooted or anything??? this is the only prob i have other then not being able to use mass usb storage.
I believe you have to install the stock Samsung ROM that came with the phone. Search and there is a thread that I believe has the ROM you need.

if u go into the general section theres an index thread with a back to root with odin for tmobile and telus puts everything back to stock
How can i reinstall stock rom...when i cant connect my phone to my pc due to my usb mass storage not working... says USB device not recognized...
Are you not able to use Odin to flash a stock kernel onto the phone?

Have you tried to go into download mode and see if Odin reads it?

Also my phone is on Stock Rom and Stock kernel, it just has the previous Kernel boot logo Synergy... and that is what i cant get off, i no longer have a rooted phone / CWM.. and on top of that cant use USB mass storage this sucks!
Yes, it doesnt do anything same as before...
from what ive read the zedomax method only flashes your recovery and a deodexed stock rom but doesnt flash the kernel which will leave the kernel you were using best bet is to head over to samsung make sure you have the newest drivers http://www.samsung.com/us/support/do...SGH-T989ZKBTMB and retry to get back into download mode to use odin using this....Take the battery back out Plug in the USB cable connected to the computer Hold down the volume up and down then Put the battery back in. You should get the option: Volume UP to continue / Volume Down for Reboot. Then try flashing back to full stock with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350360 afterwards you can format the usb storage and the phone should be set for a return or exchange
BTW that link is for the tmobile stock
ya tried drivers no luck.. you think T-mobile will care that it has that boot loader image even though its stock rom/kernel LOL??? i mean i guess ill have to try see what they say i am gonna act like its no biggie.
I had the same problem as you, I restored back to original, but the Synergy Logo comes when the phone powers on.
My computer only charges the phone, no matter what drivers you install.
I gave up in searching how to fix it.
I'm selling it to a friend who doesn't care much about phone like I do.
Lesson learn.
Why dont you just get a new one, i am in the 15 day grace period where i can exchange for a new phone, i am just going to get the HTC Amaze, i am not to impressed with this phone, i just hope they dont care that it has that logo lol!

Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi !!!
same new here
This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...
Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.
did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.
Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick
One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.
that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

So the other night, my power button literally stopped working. I called Verizon and requested another device to be sent to me, but now I have to return this thing to stock before I send it back. I've tried to Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit by Wug, but my device won't show up. I can't get into bootloader mode because my power button won't work!!
Is there anything else I can do?

Is your phone on? Just use adb's command "adb reboot bootloader". If your phone is off, I don't know how you can turn it on without a power button.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
connect to your computer and use
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
when you finally need to power it off to send it in, just pull the battery.
adb won't recognize my device. =/ It's stuck off.
You shouldn't have to worry then because they won't be able to turn it on either. lol

Uh.. Yeah they will. The physical power button isn't working but as they unscrew the Galaxy nexus they can trigger the mechanic to power the phone on. And then just replace the button and reflash it to stock and then resell the phone.
If they see that the device was already bootloader unlocked, don't be surprised to see additional charges on your next bill.

Have you tried the GN Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
If i remember correct, when the phone is ON, you can connect the phone, then reboot it with the GN toolkit to bootloader and install stock.
I think that could solve your problem
Take the battery out, plug the phone in, and then replace the battery. See if it will power up by itself.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Things I have tried:
GN Rootkit (adb/fastboot won't recognize device)
Plugging phone into computer and restarting computer
Draining battery and allowing to charge in phone until enough juice to turn on automatically
Plugging phone in with no battery
Nothing will work. Never tried a USB jig. Guess I will order one and see if that helps. Never used one before but I guess a google search will help. Guess I'll call Verizon and ask them to extend my return period before they bill me for the device.
Tried the naked drivers?

Usb jig will bring you to download mod ,then you have option to reboot(automatic phone turns on) ...befor you can flash stock rom and no more problems!

i highly doubt they will send the verizon police to repossess the replacement for when the find the unlocked bootloader.
you can send it in rooted
I had Verizon replace my last phone with Asurion insurance because of a blown speaker. The phone was running Cyanogen. There was no problem.
To be clear:
1. The phone was CLEARLY running Cyanogen because it powered on, showed the CM7 boot animation, and worked perfectly
2. They never called me, hassled me, or anything. Just credited my account.
good luck
Got into Odin mode, but no options to reboot. Just says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" The only option displayed is "Start" but I'd have to use the power button to select it (can't do that lol). What can I do from Odin?
Well, pretty sure I just hard-bricked it, so whatever.
Downloaded this: i9250xx_itl41f_fl.zip
and ran it while the phone was connected to the computer in odin mode.
Was kind of distracted by gf and didn't verify that it was for CDMA. I guess its GSM only. Anyways, now the jig won't bring up Odin mode, and I have an imagine of a phone connected to a monitor with a yellow exclaimation triangle between the two.
Guess that's it.
Found a CMDA odin image. gonna try to flash this. didnt realize you needed Odin3 too, lol. Will let you guys know how it worked..
Image worked. Back to stock 4.0.2. I suppose that means it's unrooted. Used the GN Rootkit to relock bootloader. I don't know if stock recovery is installed or not, though. I tried to reboot into recovery using the rootkit, but i just got a red triangle. Any ideas?
Hi guys what my phone is currently doing is when ever i plug it into the computer it says disk needs to be formated but it kicks off every 2-3 seconds it does that and it just generates a bunch of format windows on my comp. the phone does not turn on, does not go to into recovery nor does it try to boot tried these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513359 and more but does nothing except for when i plug the phone into the computer it starts doing what i have described above.
thanks for looking and any information is greatly appreciated.
That sounds like a hard brick for sure. How did it happen? Looks like jtag or warrenty or insurance claim is your only solution.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
i had recently updated the recovery because the old one kept acting up and this one did as well like it would take for ever and when i would try to clear the cache it would just be there and do nothing only way was to remove the battery and put it back on but this time i tried to do a format instead of just cache cleaning to get a fresh install but it just never turned back on it had been trying to format for a half hour so i thought that was enough time hmm im wondering how that warranty would go cause the phone is in mint condition.
What did you update it to? And how?

I am having an exactly same issue. I can't turn on the phone, cannot connect to ODIN because when I connect it PC, the DISK FORMAT messages keep popping up. seeking for an solution very bad. If anyone, know how please helppp, I will be very appreciated.
If the phone responds to a charging cable in the wall socket I don't believe it is bricked. And you said it does respond to your computer in some way. Have you tried getting it into download mode and flashing a stock rom? When I had a captivate I thought it was hard bricked but I got it into download mode with a usb jig (my particular captivate did not have 3 button combo to download mode) and used Odin to flash a stock rom and went from there.

Yesterday i rooted and tried to install a Rom and used Rom manager to go into recovery mode. I thought you had to do the down+home+power and now when I try to do anything it wont work power button 20 sec , power+home , up/down+power+home,nothing.When i tried plug it into the computer it makes that sound when something failed to connect to the pc. When i tried holding the power button i hear the sound of the device successfully connect to the pc but when i look theres no phone on the computer and when i let go of the power button it stops. Any help would be very much appreciated and i will never do anything to risk my device being broken again...

Did you modify your build.prop?
Can you still access the download mode? If yes try to flash back a stock rom with odin.
Or remove the battery and try again to boot up in download mode.

Try a different usb slot sometimes a usb slot may malfunction I had that problem.
Also don't use a usb extender hub if you are it may screw with the voltage.
a new usb I'm sure you've heard that one but this has the least chance of working because you the s3 makes the noise which means the usb works
Try a new computer and check that you have Kies installed
Try to restart the laptop that also helps
Hope I helped you out

Unfortunately, I have this exact same problem. I'm really scared that I may have bricked my device...
The last time my phone was working, I simply updated my phone to CM10's latest update for the phone. Everything was working perfectly fine. All I did was download the latest rom from get.cm for my sgs3.
Then I read online that this new 4.1.2 rom came out. As a new member XDA won't allow me to post the link of the rom...but you can find it in the Original Development Thread of the T-Mobile SGS3. Slim-i9300-2.7.0-OFFICIAL is the name of the rom [I copied it directly].
After making a backup of my current rom, installing this rom and installing the new gapps, I rebooted the device and nothing has worked since... [this happened about 12 hours ago].
Now, when I take out the battery and plug the charger in, the notification light becomes solid red. But nothing works...I can't go into download mode, I can't go into recovery. I knew this immediately when the phone did not vibrate after me holding down the power button for a few minutes.
The red notification light only turns on when I plug in the phone when the battery is out. If I put the battery in, after a few moments it goes away. I honestly thought maybe the battery was just dead...but I left it plugged in all night and I still can't do anything with the phone.
Please, any help for me and whtnld would be much appreciated...
@OP
Did you mod the build.prop for any reason? (Google wallet maybe?)
If you did and then tried to update/install recovery through Rom Manager, it may have tried to install the wrong recovery on the wrong partition, resulting in a hard brick.

Easy Way to find out if it's hard bricked is to connect your phone to pc... If pc displays qhsusb - I forget what else then you are hard bricked and need to jtag fix it which should run you around 60 buxs. Sorry bud if that's the case but next time don't flash anything i9300 if you have a t999
