[Q] Bricked GS2 E4GT

Alright guys, I'm lost here and could really use some help.
I was trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G for Sprint. I most likely flashed the wrong bootloader or something in Odin. Long story short, I bricked it.
I went into download mode and tried again with different (presumably correct) files. Now it automatically boots into system recovery mode. I can still access download mode but both Kies and Windows fail to recognize the device (meaning I can't use Odin).
Also, when in recovery mode I can't select anything. I can scroll through the options but the only button that does anything is the search button which seems to just toggle text on the screen.
Any help is appreciated.
*UPDATE*
When booting into recovery mode when it says updating application it now says:
--Updating application...
E:install-application_for_customer:can't unmount/preload
copy application failed.

same problem here bro, im sure someone will figure out something

I had a problem with the Galaxy S the other day and it wasn't even turning on. I used a jig to get into Download mode which you obviously can do and then tried Odin. It would not recognize my phone just like yours is doing. What helped me was a program called Heimdall that found proper drivers and reloaded the stock rom and boot.im which helped me out of a tough situation. I am not sure where it is for our phones but see if you can use that program instead of Odin. It worked for me at least.
Sorry thats the best I got

w/r/t recovery, "Home" is select, "Power" is back, "Vol +/-" scrolls, "Menu" sometimes toggles screen modes back to text-mode.

And you cannot get into download mode? It may help if you could post what you flashed.

Try plugging it into a different computer and see if the computer reacts at all, make some USB ding sounds, etc. If there is no reaction the USB port is not active and new drivers wouldn't help. If it reacts but doesn't ultimately install the drivers because they aren't present, that is ok, just have to find the right drivers for it to get recognized.
If you have no reaction from the new PC, try booting into Android and press ##8778# in the dialer. If a screen comes up, select "All" and press the [Back] capacitative button.
I don't know if that will do anything with the ROM/bootloader you have installed, but it changes what interfaces the USB port exports on the regular E4GT software.

It won't respond when plugged into any computer. Also, if I could boot Android I wouldn't have a problem.

Check what you flashed. If it was for another phone install the drivers for that phone. This typically happens when you try to flash something for another phone and it looks like that phone to windows.
More than a few did this tying to flash ics

Excellent idea! That makes sense. Based on the links I posted earlier, can you figure out what drivers I need to install?

I'm honestly considering this right now...
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/

If you don't hear the USB ding sounds at all nor see any reaction from the new PC trying to find drivers that aren't there, new drivers won't help. The PC doesn't see anything because the USB interface isn't active.
If you can play around with various resets and get to the point you hear ding sounds or the PC starts reacting, then there is hope.

What are you asking? Do I have a ROM for it?

When you boot into recovery, is it the stock android recovery or do you have clockworkmod recovery? Where are you seeing the:

Hey OP this thread deals with drivers I have a feeling some or all of the info in this thread will help you out. There are links to international sgs2 drivers and other useful info. like the earlier post stated knowing what you actually flashed is your first step at getting your computer to recognize your phone if ya flashed it to another version then you need the drivers for that phone installed in comp.
Good luck. Hope this helps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399551

It's stock Android Recovery.

Rather than trying to fix it myself what do you guys think about just taking it to Sprint? I read somewhere that you can clear the flash counter with a Jig so sprint won't know I tried to root it.

[Q] Did i brick my phone?

Ok, so i rooted my phone on my mac from galaxys3root.com
I then decided i wanted to root my phone from windows instead as i thought it was a more stable way (new to rooting)
so i went through the unrooting steps on that same website. downloaded triangle away and reset the binary.
step 2 was to put into download mode, so i help vol down, home and power button. screen went black and thats it.
now phone wont turn on, and wont go into download mode.
am i screwed?

So you were already rooted, then unrooted and tried to root again? Why? As long as the phone is rooted you can flash ROMs regardless of computer, as long as u can get all the files onto ur phone to flash in recovery

(i cant get into download or recovery. My phone is completely off, the only sign of life ive seen from it now is a red led light come on when i plug into usb without the batter in)

can anyone help?

Then sorry, nothing I can help you with

I suggest taking it to AT&T. That was the only sign of life I had after I dropped my rooted phone, they replaced it under warranty. To be clear, my phone was under two out-of-warranty conditions, and it was replaced because the cause of failure isn't so readily apparent in this case. Just say you don't know why it won't turn on. Too easy.

mag7ear appears
When plugged into my computer, it says
found new hardware QHSUSB_DLOAD
does that mean anything

I think that means it's dead, though I could be mistaken. I'm surprised no one recommended finding a USB jig. They're supposed to force the phone into download mode when nothing else will. It's not clear if that would work in this case, but they're extremely cheap.

Before you try sending it away, I would try downloading MSKIP's Galaxy S3 toolkit. Make sure you have all the relevant drivers and see if the toolkit is able to see it and kick it into download mode. You can find the download link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1633
There are very clear, explicit instructions provided with the toolkit - I would also take the time to view wwjoshdew's video, very helpful. If you are able to get the phone into download mode, re-flash a stock, rooted rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Not sure what else to tell you, but that's what I would try. Hope it helps.

[Q] Bricked/Stuck in Odin

Newbie to rooting, using a VZW Galaxy Nexus.
I tried flashing 4.2.2 this evening, and somewhere along the way I bricked my phone. Simply turning on the phone results in the Google and Unlock icon screen, as does pressing Power and Volume Up. I can only boot into Odin mode (with Power + Volume Down), which I discovered by accident, and I've no idea what that does.
At this point, I'd be happy just getting back to stock 4.1.1. Any and all help greatly appreciated.

ODIN has no place being used on a Nexus device. You are in fastboot mode. There are several stickies at the top of this section on how to properly root your device. Read them.

I wasn't trying to use Odin; it's simply the only thing my phone will do at this point. The actual rooting of the phone went fine - I used Nexus Root Toolkit (1.6.3). The phone bricked when I was attempting to restore the backup I'd made.
My computer won't recognize the phone when plugged in. I downloaded drivers from Samsung - nothing. The Toolkit doesn't find the phone when attached.
I'm at a loss.

Again. Follow the stickies right at the top of this section.
You're at a loss because you used a toolkit rather than the slightly more challenging and infinitely more educational "right" way.

Have you tried booting with volume up+down+power, to see if the bootloader is still there?

Just tried and yes, bootloader is still there. But since my computer won't recognize the phone (I've tried installing and re-installing the ADB drivers), I can't figure out how to flash a ROM (stock or otherwise).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895 You need fastboot drivers in fastboot / bootloader mode. And you're all set.

So far, so good. Still had issues installing the ADB driver, but finally got it to work. Many, many thanks.

If you can't flash your device in a regular way (via fastboot) there's also a possibility for Odin flash. It's not recommended but it works (it has never let me down). There are few threads about it.

Thanks, m.kochan - the problem was getting the computer to recognize the device. It finally came down to trail-and-error with installing and re-installing drivers. I had to boot into recovery, uninstall every Samsung/Google/Android related driver, reboot the computer, then install only the ADB driver. From there, I was able to flash the stock image using efrant's guide for dummies.

[Q] Did a MEGA WIPE on SGH-I747 and have completely deleted everything. Plz help?

I would like to apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong category (I think it's the right category). As the title says I have done a mega wipe with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-I747) and completely removed the OS along with the System Recovery and everything. It is basically just the phone and nothing inside. When I plug it in the computer, my windows OS makes a sound signaling it detected a device but then nothing happens. I do see a red light turning on my Galaxy S3, I think it says it's charging. Tried accessing the recovery mode, but no luck.... So my question is...is there any way to reflash an OS? Thank you so much XDA!!

If you can get to download mode, you can use Odin to flash a rom. Why would you wipe the recovery partition?

You need some JTAG action.

Hi My friend this is happened for me b4 and this what I did
1- take your battery out for about 5 Minutes.
2- Download Odin and The firmware orginal no rooting no custom recovery ** I started with ICS from Samsung-update.com***
3- Start Odin Don't add firmware yet.
4- Put your phone in Download mode by holding Volum down+ home+power and when the screen come push volum up to go to download mode.
5- Now connect your phone to PC and Odin will see your phone on which com.
6- Now add the Firmware by clicking on PDA when it say ready just click start on odin.
7- You are back on orginal Rom ( No root or Custom recovery) and you can go from there.
Good Luck
IF I Help Hit Thank Botton

JTAG repair is done to your phone by an expert with special equipment. You would need to bring your phone to them or ship it off to be fixed. Google '(your city) Jtag repair' . No boot but still having a sound from connecting to PC is a good sign that your bootloader is corrupted.

If the computer makes as noise when you plug it in, try for download mode... Even If the screen of the phone doesn't turn on try to connect and use Odin, sometimes Odin will pick it up...

[Q] rooted Note 2 L900 rom issue

I just got the Galaxy note 2 L900. It is rooted and modified for international using. It works perfect and I was about to explore the Jelly bean 4.2.2 several times but later the battery felt out (phone has no back cover). I inserted the battery back and booted but it only started then stopped at xiaomi.com logo and the phone was frozen as brick with no control at all.
So how could I recover the custom ROM. I have never done this and I really need help. Thank you you all.

Are you able to get the device into Download mode? When turning the device on hold the power button, vol down, and the home button and the device should enter download mode.

Thank you. I did this before I posted this matter but the question is which files I need to download and where I can find these files? Is is in the phone already? as I said I have never done this before.

If you can get into Download mode you can ODIN any ROM you would like to the device and fix the not booting problem. You can re-flash the ROM you were using if you choose. You would need to find an ODIN tar file to use this option to get your device working again.

Thanks again for your reply. It must be easier for me if I do the rooting or flashing of this phone from the beginning. I would read and following instruction step by step but right now it likes I am right in the middle of the jungle and really don't know where I should start. I looked for "ODIN tar file" and one link lead me to download the "odin multi downloader v3 95 exe.rar" but I found in here many files to download and one of these files is "Root mobile ODIN Pro v3 65 full" is the only file close to what I am looking for but I am not sure this is the file I need. I really needed help on this matter. You are the only one who replied my question and I believe that you can help. I wonder that you could text and help me through this matter. I would appreciate this. Thank you again

Send me the service provider you use and I will see if I can find an ODIN flashable ROM for your device. I can link you to the download and we can go from there. The first part though is finding a flashable image.

I have no idea. This phone has bad ESN and was modified for international using so it has a SIM card port now for GSM network (that the seller told me). I just have this phone in 2 day only and as I said I just played with in about 1 hours to see what options the phone could provide before the battery felt out issue. I not sure it can be use with ATT or Tmobile when it has bad ESN. I didn't tried it. I bought it on ebay for my cousin in Vietnam (price cheaper to Good ESN). So I guess it must be best for an ODIN flashable ROM for gsm network. Thank you.

The phone might not have a bad ESN it just might not be recognizing a network due to an invalid SIM or no SIM at all. The phone might work and find a network if a good SIM is put into the device. The first thing I would do though is find a stock image that is for a GSM phone. You can attempt to find out what service provider your cousin is going to use but to be honest it really does not matter with a GSM carrier and a phone that does not have SIM card restrictions which I am sure this one does not. You can look for a flashable image for Docomo, AT&T, or some other GSM provider. That will at least get you into the device so you can check out the options. You could always contact the person you got the device from and see what ROM they had installed and go back with that. Just a few suggestions.

So why we don't try Tmobile (I am using Ptel and Ptel base on Tmobile). IF it works on Tmobile then it can be unlocked later. (but I am sure the seller he told this phone has bad ESN)
Thank you.

From what I have found T-Mobile did not put out the Galaxy Nexus device. There is an option that you can try though. You can use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to flash stock images through ODIN and root any build you choose to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
Check out this thread for the download. The toolkit provides step by step instructions when you are performing the various actions. You will need to manually boot into download mode like you did before in order to use the ODIN feature in the toolkit. Make sure you select a stock/factory image for a GSM device.

Wow. It seems too complicated. I downloaded and installed the Galaxy Nexus toolkit with GSM model 4.2.2 JDQ39 Build
in the menu it says: install/uninstall device driver on your PC [unplug device first] and many other instructions after that
But my question is where I should start from which application? I open the Galaxy Nexus toolkit folder and there are many applications in there. Should I use the Odin3_v3.07 to begin?
Do you know any "step by step instruction from the beginning"? I don't even know how to use the Odin3_v3.07 yet.

No there should be something in the ToolKit forlder named ToolKit.exe and that is what you want to open. All commands are run through the toolkit and when running it will look like a command prompt window with number options that you will type in. Commands will be displayed on the screen and you just type in the corresponding number to select options. The on screen instructions will tell you what to do at each step.

I did come to the prompt window and enter the option 1 : Install/Uninstall Device Driver on your PC (checked and saw driver on toolkit). Then reboot the phone (I guess in fastboot mode but holding vol down power and home keys) but I cannot get the serial number as show in the instruction and the phone show no activity at all. I checked toolkit and did see the USB connected Did I do something wrong?
There is a note in the command prompt window: make sure your device is booted fully into android. (how I am sure the phone is fully boot into android)
Please advice. Thank you

All the options that are listed that say booted into Android your not going to be able to use. You should be able to use any option that says via ODIN in the name of the option. When the toolkit attempts to reboot the phone and wait for fastboot you should be good if you are already in Download mode. You might have the option to flash a stock ROM via ODIN. If so that will at least get you into the phone and you can use other options in the toolkit from that point.

I tried most of the options but I could not get any control of phone in download mode. EX: I click on option 11: boot or flash .img file to device then it prompted "file not found." Other options I only message "waiting for the device" but there was nothing happen then.
I researched for the flashing the phone from beginning again but it seems nothing works for the bricked phone.

Pull the battery, wait 10 seconds. Put battery back in and press Vol. Down, Home (Middle button) and Power until you see a warning come on the screen. Press Up and you should see a picture of an Android with "Downloading" and "Odin Mode" in the upper left corner.
Once here try flashing via Odin again. If it's really a Sprint Note 2 I still suggest the MC2 Unrooted Restore to give yourself a clean slate.

Let's skip the toolbox for a moment.
1) Download this file:
http://www.rwilco12.com/Files/Devic...rooted/SPH-L900_MC2_1090526_Stock_Restore.exe
2) Open it. It will unpack another EXE in Odin-OC.
3) Set phone into Odin mode as previously posted.
4) Connect USB cable to PC, open EXE in Odin-OC folder.
Once shows connected, click Start.
That should get you going. If you still have problems let me know.

Cool. Thank you very much. You are really big help. Just restored the phone back to the Original Sprint android version 4.1.2 Hard ware version L900.09. It works perfect now but this phone was modified to use with GSM carriers (it got sim card lot) so I guess I will have to flash it. What should I do next. I prefer to AT&T or Tmobile.
