How to Unbrick Samsung Galaxy Gio
If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing anything wrong. Here's how you unbrick it; worked for me
==Method 1:==
Prepare ODIN with the firmware you want to flash (in my case was Gingerbread 2.3.4) and get it ready to go.
-
Remove battery, wait for a bit. Insert battery again.
-
Flash a recovery with your specific filesystem (EXT4 or RFS)-(If you have EXT4, download ext4 only, don't get ext4+rfs)
-
Enter recovery & Wipe | Format:
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Have ODIN ready. Connect phone to PC.
-
Reboot to Download Mode
Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time.
-
At this point Odin should have detected your Galaxy Gio (Yellow rectangle should appear).
-
Insert the Stock Rom or Custom Rom.
-
Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
-
Reboot and wait
If all goes well it should come back to life.

It was hard to understand but did you mean: "Recovery mode and download mode does not work on my phone. It's not charging in this case. Does this process unbrick the phone with kies?"
Still hard to understand what you mean, did you brick your phone when trying to install clockworkmod?

As in: your phone still has life!!
Does stock Rom work for you? Reflash it but you MUST wipe Data and Cache using the STOCK recovery before you reflash Stock!!
Remember to follow flashing instructions posted by the Dev!

I have stock now on it, but I haven't wiped Data and Cache with the stock recovery, because I use CWM. This afternoon I will try to do it with the stock recovery.
Now I have wiped everything with the stock recovery, and then I tried to install the stock rom. I still have the bootloop. I really don't understand it. It has to work...
//When I click on "test redbend fota[FS]" in the stock recovery I get this error:

E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)

So, today I tried to root and unlock my device, it successfully rooted but after unlocking through FreeGee with TWRP 2.5.0.0, I turn OFF the device and it cannot get past the LG Boot logo. I have all the latest updates, firmwares, etc.

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. I wanted my phone to be rooted and unlocked tho, and TeenyBins is suppose to do that. But I do not understand the instructions, and how I understand it is-- Loading the downloaded .bin file in LGNPST? Is that correct?
First you must download the LGNPST program. I can't link it to you because we are not allowed to link the program. You can find the LGNPST link in the IRC, so ask there and they will link you. (make sure you read the steps that are given to you in the IRC on how to properly set up LGNPST)
Once LGNPST is running correctly on your computer, download the teenybin.
Select the correct .dll
Select the correct teenybin you want to flash.
Turn off phone. Connect phone to computer via USB.
Go into Download mode on your phone (Press and hold Vol Up+Vol Down+Power). Do this while phone is off and you will boot into download mode.
Now press start in LGNPST and it will flash the teenybin.
You will not be stuck in the LG boot logo anymore. I did these steps because I also was stuck a while back in the LG boot screen and the teenybin does help.

I've already done those steps and in completely stock Android 4.1.2 ZVB. I understand now that you have to flash the TeenyBin .bin file in LGNPST to unlock the phone, which I had trouble doing on FreeGee which led me to softbrick and go back to stock and to reset it. My question is, does TeenyBin file root your phone or do I have to root it and then load TeenyBin file on LGNPST to unlock?
I believe that if you're completely stock (non-rooted) and you flash a teenybin once you are in recovery. TWRP will root for you.
Don't take my word for it, but I believe that one of those devs that worked on the teenybin said that.

Back again and after 2 times of restocking with LG Tool. I followed this guide to root and unlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582). Rooting seems to work 100% with this guide but after unlocking with FreeGee, I shut down my phone and LG Boot seems to just be looping forever... SO, anyways, I am rooted again and wanted to see if using TeenyBins will unlock my phone... Im afraid of anymore bricks and possibly a permanent one. Should I go flash it? Also I'm new to the rooting and unlocking thing and I have a bad English so please bear with me.
your issue is you need to "SBL unlock"
so you can either use TeenyBin AltBin or just go all the way back to stock.. then using FreeGee app.. open it.. hit menu button > select "sbl unlock" > get code > enter code > then unlock like normal.
if you want to use teenybin but plan on staying stock... id suggest "TeenyBin ZVBin". the other teenybin files are more for fixing softbrick/unlocking.. and then getting u into twrp recovery to flash a custom rom zip.

i was under impression u couldnt boot.
if you want to use the rom you linked...
download the rom zip AND gapps zip... stick them on internal sdcard... power off phone and boot into Download Mode... flash LS970 TeenyBin AltBin. after you flash teenybin altbin your phone will reboot at 67% then probably get stuck at boot. power off and boot into fastboot(vol up + power).. then boot into recovery from there.
once inside twrp recovery.. do a factory reset.. then flash rom zip.. then flash gapps zip... reboot.

teeny bin rocks
Teeny bin saved my booty twice it rocks
:victory: The application helped restore my phone back to normal after I used the orginial stock bin, but after I used the teenybin and flashed Vanilla Rootbox I noticed my battery life drains a lot faster than usual. My usage on the phone is REALLY heavy like, it would last up to 6 hours and I recharge it when it hits 60% while I'm in class, (I'm a senior at high school).. I can admit I mess up my battery life. Is there a way to fix it?
to root your g510-200
Step 1: download and install Huawei drivers on your pc
Step 2: unlock your bootloader at this site http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/servicePolicy.do?method=preUnlock you will have to wait a day or so for your code. follow instructions on that website to unlock your bootloader.
Step 3: download
installTWRPg510.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OR
installCWMg510.zip

Click to collapse
and extract to desktop.
Step 4: go to settings on your phone, enable usb debugging and turn fast boot off. Now connect you phone to your pc in fastboot mode (start phone while holding volume down to enter fastboot mode. phone will stay on boot animation) go to the folder on your desktop and click the install-windows batch file. press any key to reboot. you now have cwm or twrp recovery installed.
Step 5: copy UPDATE-superSU.zip to your sd card and reboot phone into recovery by starting the phone while holding down the volume up button. choose install zip from sd card and flash
UPDATE-superSU.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
your phone is now rooted. keep this file in your sd card because some custom roms don't have root and you will need to re-flash this file. if superSU doesnt show up in your apps just download it from marketplace its free.
Step 6: make a back up of your stock rooted rom before you start flashing any custom roms.
I have tested this myself!
I have a g510-0200 with b189 optus firmware and i rooted my phone this way. Then restored it to stock factory b173 rom then rooted it again. So it works very well on both firmwares. :good:
ROMS!!!!
There are plenty of roms to try here! http://www.modaco.com/topic/365268-all-custom-roms-for-huawei-ascend-y300g510/ you can flash y300 (u8833) roms on your g510 too. you can flash custom g510-0100 roms on your g510-0200 phone and visa versa as long as your flashing them in a custom recovery. However if you are downloading factory stock firmware from huawei and installing it via the dload method on your sd card you MUST have the correct firmware eg: g510-0200 on a g510-0200 phone. This is only what ive read and im not willing to brick my phone. correct me if im wrong?
Not able to get into TWRP or CWM
Hey there sonyachin!

It will be really a great help if you can reply fast!!!

Hi everyone.
I'm so frustrated for a week to get get back to Stock Recovery Menu from CWM Recovery. The problem is, I want to restore Stock Firmware for my LG Optimus G E973 but it won't work unless I role back to Stock Recovery Menu. I've been searching around for it but no luck. Now the only hope is to get Stock Recovery image and push it into the phone and I think the only ways to get it is, someone backup Stock Recovery from the same phone model or extract it from original Stock ROM image. I failed to do so. For the convenience to download the KDZ file, I uploaded it to Google Drive with the link below. I bag you, PLEASE, help me get Stock Recovery image from the .kdz file I uploaded for you. I will wait for your response every seconds and thank in advance.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8G245x5wYw2a1VhTjVZQXdqOTQ
Why not just flash back the official kdz? The download mode works regardless you have stock recovery or CWM.
I did. it won't work. I used KDZ_FW_UPD_EN with .kdz file while putting my phone in Download Mode. Then the program restart the phone to proceed the installation but CWM recovery appear instead of stock recovery and nothing happen.

You need to flash official full KDZ upgrade. What phone you have originally? F180 or E975? or some other? Wipe + Factory reset in recovery before putting into download mode. (The major nuisance with this set is all you can do is power button thingi and no battery pullouts.

I finally found the solution accidentally, Just manually set the phone in Download Mode for 2nd time when it stuck in fastboot mode. Bingo!
Guys, I think I really screwed myself this time.
1) When I turn my phone on, it shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." However, when I try to do the emergency recovery on Kies, it doesn't show up on the list of devices that requires emergency recovery.
2) Somehow I deleted CWM, and I have no backups
3) Stock firmware doesn't load correctly. I tried it (Maybe with the wrong file, I don't know), and it got me to the start screen, but the touchscreen freaked out on me.
Hope all of you like a challenge... Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Phone won't boot to recovery, Even when I press up-home-power it stays in odin mode.
What bootloader is on your phone? The phone is an i747?
Yeah, it's an i747.

This sometimes happens when an ongoing OTA update is interrupted. You could first try firmware recovery via Kies. If that doesn't work, then you can flash custom recovery via Odin, since you can get into download mode, and flash a complete stock image or custom ROM via recovery. To try the first option ...
1) Install and open Samsung Kies on your PC. You need Kies now and not Kies-3
2) Open Tools => Firmware upgrade and initialization
3) Enter your model name (SGH-I747)
4) Enter the serial no of your device. Open the back cover and look in the battery compartment for this
5) Do not plug in your phone at this time but make sure you have a good quality data cable ready
6) Wait for firmware download to finish and follow the rest of the on-screen instructions. Connect your phone when prompted and allow firmware restoration to be complete.
Hope this works. If it doesn't, then try firmware restoration via (custom) recovery. I wouldn't suggest you try flashing with Odin in case your phone's bootloader already updated to 4.3. Your safest best would be to flash a complete 4.3 stock image and you can follow the instructions posted in this thread ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
First, you would need to flash custom recovery to your phone via Odin. You can use TWRP or CWM for now since the files posted in the thread support either one or other of the two. If you need further directions or help on this, please let us know. Good luck!

For the Kies way, It starts working, but then it turns off suddenly.
For the other way, I don't know how to do it, because I think CWM got deleted off my phone.
EDIT: When I removed the SIM Card, I was able to install the firmware. However... It freaks out whenever I put it in recovery mode, not letting me select an option. Oh, and When it gets to the purple oval with the samsung logo in the middle while booting, it shuts off.

You said you were able to successfully flash the firmware. Good! Was this via the Kies option or the recovery option? If you flashed the firmware, then you are there already. Can you try booting into recovery again and doing a wipe/factory reset? If this doesn't work, then we can try the 4.3 restore.

Except, of course, you'll need to be able to get into recovery mode fully to use this option. You may try downloading TWRP for your device via the following URL ...
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-d2att.tar
Boot your phone into download mode and flash the recovery *.tar file via Odin
Check if you can successfully boot into TWRP. If so, you can try the hard wipe thing here. If not, it gets more difficult and you may need to go back to Odin.
If TWRP recovery works ....
1) Try doing a hard wipe/reset. If this works and enables you reboot successfully, order a drink or something. If you still cannot boot successfully, then try next step below.
2) Download the 4.3 stock recovery zip for TWRP posted in the following thread. Verify the MD5 and save to an external SD card...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
3) Place the SD card in your phone. Reboot to TWRP recovery and select install. Wait for flashing to complete. Clear your cache/dalvik and reboot to system
If you still cannot get to recovery ....
4) There is an Odin flashable *.tar file for i747 on 4.3. There have been mixed reports on its success, however. Some have reported using it successfully whilst a few have reported a brick. You have little to lose, however, and a brick, if it happens, would be likely recoverable. Scroll through the thread to find the file posted by Recognized Contributor Enewman. Download this file and flash via Odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
I'd have also suggested flashing 4.1.1 via Odin, except there is a risk that your phone is already on the 4.3 bootloader and flashing an older would result in a brick.

You have little to lose, however, and a brick, if it happens, would be likely recoverable. Scroll through the thread to find the file posted by Recognized Contributor Enewman. Download this file and flash via Odin

I'd have also suggested flashing 4.1.1 via Odin, except there is a risk that your phone is already on the 4.3 bootloader and flashing an older would result in a brick.

The problem is that I can't flash anything because I can't get into download mode.

I thought you could get into download mode easily enough before? If you have difficulties getting into download mode, you may try using a jig as you will need download mode to effect any of the various solutions. There is no reason to panic, however. Your phone is never bricked as long as you can get into download or recovery mode.

I love you. However, there's a problem...
It's wildly inconsistent when booting up. One time I got all the way to signing into my google account, but some times it reboots after getting at the swirling pink and blue samsung logo.

Now I can, apparently. Something changed. Now I can get into download mode, but not recovery mode. So, now, what's the next step?

Can you try using Odin to flash 4.3 via then instructions posted earlier in the thread or follow the steps in the thread advised by xXFl4sh? The Odin should do it though.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52346496&postcount=39 Download firmware and flash in download mode like on picture there.
After flashing 4.3 did you perform a factory reset?

I hadn't flashed 4.3 at that point.

my phone shut off in the middle, and it said that it failed. Now I'm back to the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please connect to kies and try again" screen. I can still get into download mode. What now?
It apparently tripped my warranty bit too
and it shuts off within 3 seconds when on download mode. I read something about "sudden death syndrome". Is this it?
