bricked s8500, please help me.

Hello, I have bricked my S8500. I can go to the download menu. The problem is that I can't install properly USB drivers , or maybe it is USB cable that is wrong, the USB cable is from nokia and model is : CA101. Even when the phone was working ok computer couldn't see my wave , and I don't know why... So the problem is that when I go to the Download menu my computer detects all the drivers and everything is alright... And when I hit download I get this.
Download Start Ch[0]
BootLoader 1703.9KB OK[0.7s]
Dbl 281.5KB OK[0.8s]
Wait reset !!
Serial port detect error!
And after Wait reset my computer just didn't recognize my phone anymore, and that's why it has been bricked at the begining. Could anyone please help me? I tried different USB drivers, different PC. Nothing helps :{{{ Please guys, help me.
Maybe it is because my USB cable isn't from original wave, or no?

I too use Nokia table to flash my samsung wave. If your phone was able to connect to Kies prior to flashing there should be no issues.
When you flash for 1st time you always get that error. Pls try once again and you shd not face any issues.

No, I wasn't able to connect to kies. I got a USB cable from original xperia x10, still same issue... Can someone tell me what to do? I downloaded a lot of drivers, but maybe there is some special driver? :/

The problem usually goes away for me when flashing from a freshly booted pc, so try restarting one of your computers for flashing and try again.

Have done that too... Any advice? :/

Hello!
First kill all Kies Processes (in the Task Manager)
Second launch Multiloader and try to flash
When it says Serial Error, just do Port Search again, and it should work
That's what I did when I had my Serial Port error ^^
Hope I helped you

You didn't understand me very well. The problem is that when I hit download my computer suddenly loses USB connection and shows my phone as unknown device, that is the problem why I bricked my phone. Do anyone knows how to make my pc see my samsung wave?

Same thing happened to me. After this, you shouldn't disconnect you wave, but to wait, and click search port again. If there is no port again, tru with different multiloader (mine was v5.65), and there is again same problem, try with another computer with preinstalled USB drivers.
The good thing is that your phone still enters boot mode. If it wasn't the case, then it would be a total brick.
Best regards

No, you didn't understand this flashing process. Most important thing here is to avoid interrupting of connection between computer and phone, even in serial port error. You need to search port again, or to change things that I mentioned above.
You hit download, then bootloader is loaded. It is absolutely normal in this algorithym to reset phone (wait reset). Then our error appears in port error. That is the time when you should click port search again, and when it finds it again (it will) click download button. Thats how it was in my case already 4 times.. Hope I helped.
Best regards

I have told that I reinstalled a lot of drivers and tried different PC's, nothing helps. I tried about 3 or 4 versions of multiloader still same result :/ I don't know what to do anymore... Please any advices? Maybe someone had the same issue?

I don't really know what happened. We switched our cables with my friend again, and I tried to flash with Nokia cable. And everything went okay for the 1 time. No errors, no nothing, no Unknown USB device problem. This is really strange. Thank you for you help friends :}

1.Try to redownload the firmware that you've flashes and flash it again if it will help.
Troubleshooting Instructions:
"USB Driver Not Recognized" Problem ?
Well here's my list of troubleshooting instructions:
1.If your USB Driver is not recognized , Open Kies on your PC/Laptop then click "Troublelshoot connection problem" button , It will reinstall the USB Driver named "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" . Wait until it finish .
2.Uninstall Kies and the USB Driver named "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" on Add and remove programs on Control panel , Then after you install Kies again then do the directions on Step 1 installing your USB Driver.
3.Try Redownloading Odin v 1.85 , Click on my attachment to download.
4.Make sure your Kies is up to date.
5.Make sure that your battery is 100 % fully charged
6.Remove your SIM Card before flashing , That could interrupt the flashing process.
7.Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and go to Processes and terminate the process named "KiesHelper.exe" and "KiesTrayAgent.exe" and if you're using ADB then terminate the process named "adb.exe" ( Im not sure if adb.exe is the correct name of ADB process,Correct me if im wrong)
8.Make sure before you press the "Start" button on Odin you should Notice these two thing before pressing the Start button : ID:COM and make sure you have got the "Added!!!" word on the box (Where you can see if flashing has successful ex. Success 1/0 Failed

[Q] P350 fastboot bricked

So I used ROMmanager to get clockwork recovery mode. Now when my phone entered the recovery mode it just say:
"Fastboot mode started"
"udc_start()"
If i connect my USB cable to it it says --suspend--
Now i tried using KDZ_FW_UPD in Emergency mode to restore original firmware but it cant find the phone. The log is:
[R&D Test Tools Log File]
10:50:59 : Launching SW update
10:50:59 : Unpacking KDZ
10:51:14 : KDZ file extraced

10:51:17 : LGMobileDL Load.
10:51:17 : Port = -1
10:51:17 : Connecting to phone
10:51:17 : PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
10:51:19 : ===FINISHED=== ​
I tried this procedure on 2 pcs but no luck. It seems that my phone can't connect to PC with usb cable.
I installed LG Moblie United drivers and disabled the lg modem thing in device manager. I am using Windows xp Proffesional SP3.
So does anyone has any clue what I am doing wrong ? If u need more info just ask.
Maybe if I try from some linux distro it will detect my phone ? But what tools to use then ?

Use fastboot to recover the phone. Check the wiki at the Troubleshooting section.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------
I recommend using drivers latest version. Last time I checked, United Mobile Driver was version 3.7.2 release 4.9.8.1 and Modem Link Driver was 1.0. I'm providing links for download from my personal Dropbox folder because I don't remember from which LG site I downloaded them from.

Didn't I said i did that ? My PC wont recognize my phone in fastboot or emergency mode, with fastboot being stuck at udc_start() and when i connect USB it says "-- suspend --" ,
I tried this guide madmanzrocks still dont see phone.
deleted lg modem, reinstalled all usb hubs, tried 10 versions of LGunited drivers, used both official update tool and kdz nothing works(can't detect phone), and also tried from cmd.
My problem isn't how to unbrick but rather why my pc won't recognize my phone :/

So, no feedback (USB Device connected sound) when conneting the phone? I assume you have tried all ports available.... Long shot, but maybe the phone's USB connector is dead... You have some background on electronics? If so, you can follow the service manual I reposted recently at the General section to check if the connector is gone (p. 113).

yeah tried all ports, I¨ll try on several other pc's. no connection sound, but phone is charging. I have quite some background on electronics so ill check it out when i try this on couple others pc's. Don't want to dissaemble it quite yet and if it rly is dead repair will probably take more money then i spent to buy it(I got it 2nd hand for around 50 $). It happened before that my PC coudn't recognize some devices but never like this. I ussualy get device not recognized, malfuctioned or smthing like that .

as I mentioned the same problem was solved bu connecting the cell phone with the battery removed. But if even that doesnt works for you, then maybe there is a fault in your PC. Does your PC instantly recognizes USB Pendrives? And which OS are you using?

Don't know if it helps or you already tried it.
Start fastboot v2 and start the flash so it waiting for device.
Then plug in usb and start phone in fastboot.
That worked for me before.

I can try.
First start fastboot v2 on your computer.
Load the recoveryimage amonra or cwm5 (not cwm6)
Start flash so it say searching for device.(or something like that)
Plug in usb in computer.
Start your phone in fastboot.
Plug in usb in phone.
If that don't work you can try to instead of start phone first start it with usb cable.
Can need to unplug usb and plug it in a few times if the device say suspend.
Hope it helps.

Can you please add the links to this files or the files? I would be very thanksful...

Up to this point i tried all the methods you guys told me and some i found myself. Nothing worked for me as my PC stil won't recognize my phone, I have also tried all this methods on 4 PCs(2 had windows XP Proffesional SP3 with all the updates, and 2 had Windows 7 SP1 with all the current updates installed(note that 1 version was 32-bit and other was 64-bit).
My conclusion is that the USB connector is DEAD, even thought i can still charge my phone trough it. I probably won't be trying to fix this anymore as I've found an 4th gen iPod and i'll be using that from now on.It is true that i can't make calls(at least not the standard way, you know, it doesn't support SIM cards), but i have my old dumbphone phone for that and this will be used for just about anything else.
So thanks to all of you guys that tried to help me but i fear this is unrepairable. If anyone want's this phone I'll give it to you for free so you can have some fun cracking your head to see what is wrong . I only ask that if you find a way to fix it you post it here and notify me about it(send me pm).Otherwise do whatever you with it.

I have solution

[Q] Samsung Galaxy W Download Mode USB Problem

Hi guys !
I rooted my phone and then tried to setup some roms. But when I try to go in the download mode, it says "Downloading... Do not turn off the target" but on my computer, it cannot recognize the usb. I setup the usb drivers, tried another ports and there is no problem about my usb cable. It works normally, but whenever I go in the download mode, this thing happens and I cant continue to Odin. Does anyone know anything about that ?

You can install it easily if your phone is rooted just
-put the downloaded recovery.img in /mnt/sdcard
-download & install "Terminal Emulator" in play store
-open it then type "su" and click enter
-allow root access..
-then type "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13" then click enter
-then some text will show in bottom
-exit terminal..
check the recovery by turning off the device then turn on with volume up botton, home button, and power button pressed together..
until "Galaxy W" screen shows up, release the power button only.. then you will enter CWM

What version of windows are you running, it couldn't work on windows 8 and 8.1 so i installed 7 and all the drivers for the phone and it works, i dont have the phone now but i do beleive that will, anyway... if you have bootloop that means you are still able to pass the bootloader screen right?? then try to go to recovery and flash roms from there, having an sd card would help transfering roms from pc directly to phone....

Reply again if you need some assistance.. I'm not online very often

i have windows 10 pro.
yes, first the samsung logo apears then the galaxy W logo.
it stays 1 or 2 minutes on this galaxy W logo screen then it reboots.
is it even possible to flash it with the original bootloader from a sd card?
and would the original bootloader detect this type of image (.tar.md5) ?
Thank you for reply

You can try putting any custom rom and flash from a custom recovery if you can access it, if not download the stock rom and get a windows 7 pc. make sure you install all the samsung drivers ( kies should do the job ) and try flashing it from odin

Download mode Windows 8.1 10
To connect your phone in download mode on Windows 8.1 and 10 you need to apply this registry file (in my attached zip file).
Mirror Link
It happens for most old phones.
More Info: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/us...ows-8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43/
Also note Odin3 (the one which is used for newer phones) doesn't work for Galaxy W! (Use Odin Multi Downloader.)
--------
Update: It seems that this registry key isn't needed. Make sure to connect the USB cable after downloading... screen appears. If it wasn't recognized try disconnect and reconnecting the USB cable or try other USB ports on PC till it gets recognized.

still doesn't work for me, can you please post the drivers you are using ?

If you see the USB device is not recognized error it's not a driver issue.
Windows automatically downloads the drivers through Windows Update. BTW here are the drivers:
SAMSUNG.zip - 13.5 MB
