[Q] help samsung i9250 16gb google brick - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

hi friends need your help a customer brought me a 16GB i9250 galaxy google just wanted to restart because I was so slow I then proceeded to do a hard reset .. now the phone only turns on and the display is only one cell .. .. . .. yellow triangle and a pc ..
I tried to restore it in many ways without success .. I used the flasher omap, I've also used the Galaxy Nexus ToolKit and also without any result.
when I remove the battery is detected as omap4440 I installed the drivers that are in the folder flasher omap but none of the programs I detect ... I tried
also with odin with versions 1.85 and 1.87 and nothing ever gets stuck in userdata and no longer goes from there
most humbly beseech your help because the client already want and do not want to give me more time-
I upload the images to see the errors thanks for your help
I'm desperate and do not know what else:crying:

So you bricked a customers phone. Nice.
Maybe you should read and learn more before attempting to work on other peoples devices.
From what I can see you need to use Odin to reflash the firmware back to stock. It needs to be in download mode. That's what that triangle means. Means its in download mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405327
You can find lots of threads like that with different Odin firmwares. Find the right one for the right galaxy nexus.
After you flash that it will be all stock again and any and all data will be wiped.
This is why toolkits are bad. Make sure you have the right drivers installed. You don't have the right drivers installed or Odin would see the device.

thanks

[Q] Firmare upgrade encountered an issue - Am i done for?

Yes, i'm a total noob, sorry everyone. I tried to root my T Mobile Galaxy S2 using the Kies/Odin method, and now i'm getting nothing but a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I would happily follow those directions, but now Kies won't recognize my device?!?!? I also can not get back into download mode. I have no idea what to do. Is there anyone out there that can help?
Can you still turn your phone on and use it?

All you need to do is flash it using Odin. Grab the stock rom from the general forum of the galaxy s2 and flash it using Odin.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Did/does Odin recognize the phone? If it does then go ahead and flash the stock Odin firmware package and that should take care of the problem. Same thing happenend to me and all you need to do is set everything up just like normal, go into DL mode and give Odin a few seconds to find a com port and hit start...just pretend the warning is not there.
I have the same thing ...
I was doing a stock upgrade through Kies, and my computer decided to be dumb and install a windows update and restart the computer... I now see the same thing, i had the stock rom, but it was rooted, and when I try to go back in Odin, it never recognizes the phone... Kies won't recognize the phone, neither will Odin... Am I just returning this phone or what?
EDIT: Nevermind, I only bought it 2 days ago, so I just exchanged the phone
Yes, you can flash from that screen -- I managed to brick my Vibrant that way a number of times, and as long as you get that screen (or the Android digging screen) it's recoverable. KIES should be able to recover it as should Odin -- if it DOESN'T work turn OFF the computer (all the way off) and restart it then try again.
Samsung's USB drivers have a habit of getting confused and causing flash failures both in KIES and Odin.
Be aware that if you're trying to use KIES and the "latest" firmware is a non-wipe firmware (as the updates from T-Mobile are) it will happily load onto the phone something that will bootloop into the stock recovery and refuse to start! If you get hosed like this you probably need to Odin back to the ORIGINAL firmware so you get a "full" flash, then use KIES (or ODIN) again to perform the update.

Were you able to exchange your device? And if you did, what did the T-Mobile reps ask you? and what did you tell them? I ran into the very same problem. I tried everything but I'm still stuck on that screen. I don't want T-Mobile to think I purposely did something to make the phone that way.
Hope I'm not too late to help: I had same problem and used odin to fix.
Here's what I did:
Download stock kernel in tar form from the Android devel forum. Start odin, click check box in PDA, click PDA button then select the kernel you just downloaded.
Insert usb into your phone (I left my cord connected to my computer). Start phone in download mode (up+down keys). Once it's started ib DL mode, unplug the usb cord, then after just a few moments plug it in again. If necessary, let it set a few moments until Odin recognizes the device (yellow stripe in id:com to the upper left), now click start in odin.
That fixed my problem. After that I read and reread everything I could get my hands on, but I think I tried flashing a i1900 kernel.....big duh to me, but maybe I'm not that dumb after all!! But, soon after I was able to root, and have flashed several custom ROMs since my little bump in the road.

Took mine to a store, they didn't have any white kits in stock so they told me to call and tell them that it doesn't turn on, got a replacement ordered without having to troubleshoot over the phone.
Had that happen the first day I got the device trying to root up. Accdently pulled usb while updating. All i did was Hold VOL UP + DOWN And Plug usb in and download mode came right back up and started the process all over again.
It was a success as.

Worked!
Thank you!

we don't have ICS... so I'm not sure if you're in the correct section. is your phone's variant the t-mobile t989 hercules s2?
don't do anything with kies, go to download/odin mode and flash a fresh download of whatever you messed up on... or I would just flash a complete stock ROM.. the ones ending with ".tar.md5".. that should save your phone.

Soft bricked - No recognition

EDIT: Sorry, this post wen't to completely wrong place. Hope some mod can move this to right section.
I know. There's number of similar threats. I have read them all. Or at least feels like it.
I managed to soft brick my sgs2. I was playing with this new lol boot (dual boot app) from market. I think I pushed something wrong in this app. After that my intention was to make a CWM backup before I start to play seriously with lol boot. At the second I pressed backup from the menu, my phone shut down. Now I'm in a sitsuation whre I can't enter recovery mode. There's just this Samsung Galaxy logo. At the time I had CheckRom v4 installed.
My intention was to flash stock rom via odin. I can enter to download mode just fine BUT odin or kies isn't able to connect to phone. Kies is recognizing the usb connection, but fails to connect it properly. Here's a list what I've tried so far:
- Restart PC (100x)
- Restart Odin (101x)
- Restart Kies
- Reinstall USB Drivers (with Kies and without)
- Trying different computer which has never seen Kies or any Samsung USB drivers
- Reinstalling Windows (W7 x64)
- 3 different USB cables (2 stock Samsung)
- Different USB ports
- Also Nexus S USB drivers as mentioned on another thead in XDA
- Starting odin after USB connection, and before
- Googling with any keywords I have come up
Is there anything else I can do for now?
you mean when you try to connect to odin there is no yellow square ?
maybe try to remove battery for + 90 sec and try to enter in odin ?
ps in this situation you must forget kies since its barely work when everything is fine with the phone ...
Thanks for your reply. Odin doesn't 'do' anything when i connect my device. I'm using version 4.43. When I connect s2, windows install two drivers, Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device and Samsung Mobile USB Modem. I also tried taking battery off. Actually the battery wasn't attached for 6 hours, still no success.
I didn't see this in your list, but have you tried entering download mode and connecting?

can you enter recovery? which recovery you have? Clockwork? 2e, 3e?
Just trying to feel out your situation...
Guys. I think there is some Android God that came to help me. After ~36 hours of googling, crying and throwing the phone to the wall, I've managed to solve my problem! As I was googling cheap shotgun for me, I had a vision. Why not, let's try older odin. The solution was v1.83. And right when I plugged in my phone with this odin, it got recognized! At the same second! Nuff said, I'm satisfied. And do you know what is the best part? I flashed with original stock rom and every app, every launcher and so on was STILL WORKING and running!
Thanks to everyone. I'll be more careful next time!
EDIT: How the heck the custom binary counter went to zero? I was thinking its only possible with usb jig?
not older odin! but the one u need for sgs2 (and 1) only use odin 3 v. 1.83 or v. 1.3.
The one you said IS NOT FOR YOUR PHONE. Sorry I missed that text.
So if I understood you correctly, u are saying that I flashed my phone with wrong version of odin (1.83) ? Sorry, I'cant understand english too good, so can you say your point more literally and s_l_o_w_l_y? Thanks
I only use odin3 v1.3 or odin 3 v.1.83.
As far as I know, you cannot use anything else, since it is not made for your device!
I might be wrong, if so, somebody correct me.
Sent from my GT-I9100
So if you're correct on this, the reason why I couldn't get my phone recognized was the wrong version of odin?

gratz!
to reset your binary, there is only one way to do it. u are right, usb jig.
however, beware, i read somewhere saying that GB ver 2.3.4 onward has a new version of bootloader which prevent usb jig from resetting the counter, which mean samsung is trying to lock the bootloader now. however, flashing the old bootloader still helps (claim by others).

You have to flash them through fastboot while in download mode via adb
Go to Qbking77 thread on radios for Sprint Gnex its has images for stock and leaked radios, also has full you tube video on properly flashing them through fastboot.

That's what Odin mode looks like. Triangle with an exclamation point. As long as the computer recognizes it you're good.

[Q] My Galaxy Note II soft bricked, please help!!

Hello Good people of xda forum
please i have a very big problem at my hand involving my newly acquired galaxy note II, the international version and i was hoping that some of you could help me out here because this is driving me nuts.
My galaxy note II is 2 weeks old and i rooted it 5 days after i got it with Odin and everything seems to work smooth ever since.
My problem now started yesterday when i stupidly went to install the chainfire 3d plugin because i wanted to try my older games that worked better on my qualcomm desire HD that wouldn't work well on my note II and what happened next has left me with sorrows since yesterday evening.
My lovely Note won't boot up anymore. It always gets stuck on the samsung galaxy note II logo. I am on the stock samsung rom.
I have tried everything i could read online to get it working including entering clockworkmod recovery, wiping data, cache, daivik, factory reset, formating sd and external sd card and nothing seems to work.
I have even tried entering odin download mode and downloading a custom firmware to flash but it keeps saying ''downloading'' but never finishes.
I am helpless now and do not want the 619 EURO i paid for this phone to be a waste. I can't return it since it is already rooted and i cannot unroot it in it's current state.
Is there any way for me to copy over the stock rom zip file to the external sd and flash it from there? If yes, can anyone provide me with a stock rom zip file to flash as i cant seem to find it anywhere?
My galaxy note II is the international version, bought at Saturn electronics shop, germany.
I will also admit that i am not so good with the technical stuff so a little explanation could help.
Thanks all.
There are stock roms in the note 2 forum here on XDA. You can boot into CWM recovery and mount your SD card to be able to use on your laptop/PC. If that fails, you can get the Android SDK specifically adb and push it to your internal SD.
I've done the same on my old Galaxy S2, so don't worry it's recoverable! I suggest getting a stock rom and flash via Odin, failing that use the method I mentioned above.
I apologise if I'm unclear, I'm exhausted tonight!

Best thing to try in ur case is make a full wipe and factory reset from recovery then to flash stock rom using odin then to make a wipe again if any problems,this should solve ur problem. Good luck.

Any luck with your Note II ?
You can also download a custom rom , then put it in an external card
Slot it in the phone , do full wipe and flash .

Hello, sorry for late reply. Here is the link you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696
Search for your country's version of the stock rom and download it.
Download also the odin files included in that first post.
Once you have the stock rom for your country and odin files downloaded, unrar them if they are zipped and place their folders on the desktop or somewhere else you can
easily find them.
Now open odin from the folder you unrared and turn off your phone (your phone shouldn't be connected to the computer at this point).
Once your phone is off. Press and hold simultaneously the volume down button, home key button and the power button. Keep holding them until you
see the samsung logo. Then let go of the buttons and your phone would enter downloading mode.
Now plug in your phone via usb to your computer and a blue light would show on odin with COM written in it.
Now check the box next to PDA and point odin to the tar file contained in the downloaded rom folder you placed on your desktop and hit start on odin.
A progress bar would now show on your phone indicating that odin is flashing your phone with the stock rom.
Once it's finished successfully, it will show on odin "passed" in a green light and your phone should reboot and voila, your phone is now clean as new.
From there, I believe you continue on your own. Now disconnect your pbone and enjoy.
There are also pictures on the link I posted that would explain the process better.
If you any further questions, just ask.
Good luck.

[Q] odin-stuck-at-setup connection-black-screen

Hi, i have a problem with my Samsung G2(SGH-T989), i'm running Win 8
phone shows black screen, no logo no nothing! Phone was rooted prior to all this.
The phone however does install drivers or not i don't know but when i plugged phone via usb it shows as per the pictures below.
Odin (i run as admin) shows com ports, Have tried all different combos (take battery out, hold volume up and down, replace battery, start odin and re-plug via usb etc) but nothing works
ODIN hangs at 'setup connection'
I have downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile (its one package) and added it via the PDA section, even tried the different versions of ODIN. Also tried removing Sim and Sd card.
The phone is getting recognized via device manager but stumped how to get Odin working
Anyone else had this and solved it?
Thanks
First things to try,
Different Odin version... That version you have is old. Try 3.04 or 3.07...they've worked best for me.
Try a different cable. A different USB port. And if needed, a different pc.
You did install the Samsung drivers on the pc?
If kies is running, kill any mention of it in task manager, processes.
It could be a Windows 8 Issue... But I have 7, so don't know.
And try a google search too to see if you find more on this.
Good luck!

when i try with odin 3.04 or odin 3.07 it doesn't show com-port highlighted in yellow color as older version(ODIN 1.85) does.
i can't see logo , no nothing in phone and even phone won't vibrating when i start it after removing battery.
help me plz -_-
It's likely bricked. That or the battery is completely dead and not charging.
But, if there's no sign of life as you say, I don't know how Odin and the pc see it at all?
But for Odin to work, you must be in download mode. Or it will never work. But if nothing is happening on the phone, you obviously aren't in download mode.
I think it's toast to be honest.
