Hi guys, I've been scouring Google for 3 days now and can't come up with an answer, everything says use Odin for this and use Odin for that... well I can't.
A few days ago I downloaded an app from the Google store Linuxonandriod or something like that, it's pretty much an installer to place Ubuntu on your phone side by side with Android, the instructions began with rooting the phone, I began that process and believe I accidently loaded the incorrect pda to the phone (I have so many files now on my comp, I have no clue which one I selected). Odin rebooted the phone and that's that.
If I try to turn on the phone it goes to the first screen that just says SAMSUNG then turns off, never getting to the Samsung Galaxy III screen. The USB on the phone seems to have been botched, none of my computers will recognize it (Windows or Linux), the phone will not even charge. I can however get into both recovery and download modes without problem.
Naturally, download mode does no good because the USB is useless and I do not have clockwork mod installed on the phone to bypass the verification error.
I tried to simply install clockwork via recovery in hopes that would do something, but I get a verification error with that.
Is there anyway around this using the SD card or am I holding a $300 paperweight?
Thanks

Thanks, for the link. I did check it out, but couldn't figure out what the poster was talking about with drive letters and such. That dmesg | tail told me nothing about my sd. I unzipped everything to the card by a different method but my the computer still wouldn't recognize the phone, so booting back into windows did nothing.
Sorry for the delay in response, I've been extremely busy with work.
I'm still at a total loss on this.

Hi,
I recently acquired a Kindle Fire that was previously used as a Demo unit in a store, I'd like to get it out of Demo mode but having tried since Sunday (and following several threads on here with similar problems) with no success I thought I'd see if I can get any help.
This is my first Kindle, so I'm new to that, but I've owned several Android devices in the past, so I'd consider myself fairly familiar with ADB, Fastboot, etc.
Since I can't get into the settings on the Demo unit I haven't been able to enable USB Debugging, to cut a long story short after playing around all day Sunday trying to get KFU to communicate with the device I gave up and ordered a Factory USB Cable to get it into Fastboot mode.
That arrived This morning and the Kindle is now in Fastboot mode, but I'm not sure what to do next, the PC (Windows 8 64bit, but I've also tried on Vista 32bit) sees the device as: Otter2-Prod-04 with a yellow exclamation mark icon and KFU still doesn't seem to be able to communicate with the device.
I'm running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
Never mind, I got KFU to recognise the device finally but I think it's bricked it, it's just black now with no light on the power button or anything.
I don't suppose there's any way to fix that?

I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

Good, at least you're up and running
I recently got a Epic 4G Touch from a friend who was upgrading. After messing around with it, I decided to try get CyanogenMod running on it. To make a long story short, I can no longer get the phone to boot, but I do have access to the AGAT custom recovery. I know I could use OdinExecution, but the phone is no longer recognized by Windows when plugging in USB - probably after flashing the kernel.
My question is what should I do from here? The only other way to get data onto the phone would be microSD, unless I can get USB working (I doubt). I was pretty foolish to go into this without more reading, and for that I apologize.

If you can get into recovery, I would try going here and flashing one of the zips found there.

If by chance you can get into download mode and if the links are not working you can always use this

Thanks for the reply,
I managed to get a custom ROM installed, so at least I'm able to use the phone. Now I need to figure out how to get USB working again. I took a snapshot of the device screen:

Is there perhaps a compatible kernel I can try?
Hello there! Apologies for the vague thread name, I'm actually unsure what is wrong with the phone -long story short, I've bought it in CashConverters, thinking I could earn some (M9 for thirdy quid? bloody hell).
The phone does turn on, so I don't think it's hard-bricked. When the phone is turned on, it goes to this menu
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
REBOOT and REBOOT TO BOOTLOADER result in the same, as does turning it on after POWER DOWN.
After pressing BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE, this menu pops up, and pretty much goes back to the first one upon VOL UP or VOL DOWN.
BOOT TO RECOVERY MODE does work, and results in this menu
I have once attempted to "apply an update from SD card", it resulted in this, and decided not to test my luck.
Couple things to note, I do IT for a living, started working on it yesterday, 2pm - 2am, mostly reading through XDA and android pages, didn't manage to find a solution yet, and I'll stab myself with a spoon if I failed at searching.
My question is: can I fix it? Is it worth it?
You could flash a RUU.exe if its a tmobile, verizon, sprint etc. Other than that i dont know... You cant even see what firmware number you got

I assume it's O2 because it says himauhl_o2_uk, plus an O2 sticker. Other than that, I don't know, as I can only access recovery, and literally got it in that state.
Edit: I assume it's caused by someone disconnecting the phone while updating through HTC Sync, but I am unsure.
I am having this same exact issue with my Sprint M9. I have tried installing the 0PJAIMG from the SD Card and no love. Get error E:footer is wrong signature verification failed.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
[HELP] G532M Can't upload firmware via "DOWNLOAD MODE" since it gets stuck at half!
Hello everybody, first thread on XDA.
I will tell you about my problem since it seems to be unusual.
I have a J2 Prime G532M that one day suddenly when I woke up and I turn on my phone a blue screen with the following message appeared "this phone has been flashed with unauthorized software [...]" this made me confused because my phone had the OFFICIAL ROM and I've never rooted it.
So I downloaded the official rom from Sammobile and I tried to flash it via Odin. The weird issue here is that when I try to flash it it stucks at half of the process. Sometimes at 12% exactly when it arrives at 360mb/3.75gb uploaded to the device. I downloaded two differente roms bc I thought that the first was corrupted, but both of the roms makes the same.
Also, when the phone is in Download Mode after disconnecting and reconnecting the phone to the computer Windows shows me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
"The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it".
When I first connect the phone everything its OK. After a while (10 seconds approx) the phone stop receiving data from Odin and when I
reconnect it Windows shows that.
What my problem could be? i'm reading all the comments. Thanks in advanced.
Try using another usb cable. Maybe it's because of your usb cable. Because my phone is J2 PRIME SM G532G Variant I was FRP locked by google but then when I try to flash my stock rom via Odin it stucks and stops halfway of the process. So what I did is just changed my USB Cable and it worked for me. Hope it works for you too. There are a lot of options changing your usb cable. Or so I could analyze the real problem here include the logs of your Odin here when it stopped halfway. Copy your Log and paste it here.
