Don't panic, kies just sucks. Use odin to repair Your phone, best if You change Your ROM too as rooting isn't enough anymore (knox is there).

I tried to put i9300 android 4.1.1

I tried to put i9300 android 4.1.1. on my Att i747 sg3 and now I can't start the phone.
I was trying to upgrade the android version whole day, because I can't upgrade it through my phone when I check for upgrades.
The thing is I'm in europe and my phone of course we don't have a att carrier here, so it's not finding an update.
So in the end I tried to use mobile odin Lite, and put on i9300 version on it, so now it's not working.
When I try to start it shows me SAMSUNG and after that it turns off.
I hope someone has an idea how to fix it through my laptop ;/
Merry Christmas to all!
Well try this... open in download mode.... which is volume down key-power button and home button..... download odin ffor pc.... and latest firmware deom sammobile.com
Steps.
1.do not connect fone yet. Download odin and read instructions. Which as far as i remember was attacthing the frimware file to pda... then coonect fone in download mode as mentioned above... and flash that furmware.. should be fine..:thumbup:

This isn't necessarily true.
He specifically stated he could see the Samsung logo which means it is not a hard brick.
OP please report back if you are able to enter Download mode.

No, he's not. If he's seeing any sign of life, it's not hard bricked.

Check the definition of hard brick, cause you have obviously missed something in that particular explanation.
Can you get into recovery with power,home, and vol up?
If it opens in download.... it is never bricked or if stuck on samsung logo not bricked... just open download mode and flash stock rom via pc odin

Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini SPH-L520 HELP!

I made an incredibly stupid mistake and didn't notice what the actual model number for my S4 Mini was. I used a guide to root it as if it were a GT-I9195 and now I've completely screwed it up. When it booted I couldn't connect to any type of network and the soft keys didn't work at all. I tried to install what I thought was the original firmware to the phone, but again didn't know I had the wrong model number. How do I restore my phone to its original state? I no longer care if it is rooted or not, I would just like to have a working cell phone again.

tried to downgrade att note 4 and now stuck in recovery!!

Tried to use odin to downgrade att note 4 5.0.1 to 4.4 kitkat, and now I'm stuck with a message saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I tried to follow those instructions and Kies doesn't recognize my device. Is the only thing left to do is take it back to AT&T, or can I possibly find the 5.0.1 firmware it was running and make it work again.
Same situation here i wanted to help my brother and now this i think it cant reconigze it because mine was on ADB Mode so now i cant change that because cant go into the recovery settings i need the phone ill pay someone if needed!
U can't downgrade from oc5 LP. I did the same and had to take phone to att warranty exchange. I blamed it on there firmware update.

Guess I gotta take it back to AT&T. The next update for our Note 4 probably won't come until next month because AT&T is always really slow with updates.
I do not have ATT Warranty because i bought it from craigslist, now it has boot loop :/ i tried factory reset with no luck

You can check warranty on your phone here :http://www.samsungwarrantycheck.com/ . BTW note 4 was released on October 14 2014. Go to at&t and tell them that was gift and they can not find receipt but phone is not even one year old. You can check warranty status and show them print out from page i post it.
It says it still has LImited warranty (not manufacturer warranty) so can i go to ATT Store?
If its a warranty its a warranty they have to accept it

LG G4 help needed!

I have the lg g4 h815 international model. It is rooted and has the boot loader unlocked, I manually upgraded to android 6.0 and then a few weeks or months after I was just on a normal day. So I turned my phone off, then when I needed to turn it back on it failed to start up only showing the lg logo with the boot loader unlocked sign in the top left. I tried all that I knew how to. I went into TWRP recovery and wiped all the data from it. I tried to boot up but it would not and it said that I have no OS installed, however I was sure I did. So }I tried the kdz method of restoring my phone but the lg flash tool 2014 seemed to not respond instantly.
Next I tried downloading the stock files and stock ROM and tried to flash them, but when I attempted to flash them using TWRP it froze and went back to the LG logo screen with the boot loader sign in the top left and it wont let me do anything. I can still go into download mode and recovery though. I have tried every method I know of and I am really stuck. If someone knows how to fix it then please reply, thank you.
If anyone knows how to fix it then please reply, thank you.
When u wiped u prob wiped all download a custom rom and put it on sd card the in twrp install it should be good to go

Thank you for responding
I tried this but when I attempt this, TWRP freezes and it takes me back to the LG logo with the boot loader unlocked sign. Because it keeps freezing I cannot restore a backup or download a custom ROM and I am stuck on what to do.
EDIT: Also when trying to use the kdz method the lg flash tool 2014 just fails and force closes.
By chance u aint got the 505 serial number device do u there was a sorta recal on a few devicez if im not mistaken and im actually new to this device but i had g3 and it was a common problem on g3 for bat to go bad try dl rom and installing it while plugged in to power source other than that im not fortunate enough to have bl unlock and twrp or i might be able to give some more assistance

Super hardbricked lg g4 please help

Hi guys so recently my friend's verizon lg g4 got stuck in bootloop and he tried to fix it using this method
http://rootmygalaxy.net/how-to-resto...-bootloop-fix/
But he didn't have no unlocked bootloader and no custom recovery and he simply tried to flash the image. Now his phone doesn't even turn on and doesnt even shows the lg logo.
If i connect the charger it doesnt even charges up the battery.
Any help guys because you guys are my last chance.
