Develop Bugs

PLEASE HELP possibly soft bricked

I accidently wipe my phones internal storage including backups, Im running latest TWRP and it wont read my sd card. I have a custom rom on the sd card but i cant access via recovery. phone boots to recovery and even download mode but i dont think my usb debug is checked and i cant get thru with odin. Im crunched for time as my wife is coming home in an hour and she will be furious if i bricked my phone i need help restoring before she gets home. thanks.
Heres how I fixed the problem, it was easy after doing but confusing getting there. Since the phone would not boot past the galaxy s3 screen there was no way for me to select USB debugging. That option totally did not allow me to use the Galaxy S3 toolkit listed in android development nor could I select and run any of their lists of "Root" roms because something would happen where ODIN didnt boot it correctly. It ran it at first then "Boot" came on then "Reset" came on then "Pass" came on but nothing ever took. I went to samsung-updates.com selected the ICS factory rom and saved it to desktop. Then I unzipped that rom to unveil the TAR file and flash that via Odin and Bam it ran thru no problems. The problems I ran into earlier were links from other posts and it turned out they were either bad links or not for the phone. I actually tried one guys download link that claimed to be specifically for the T999 us version and it turned out to be for another phone all together Im just lucky that flash didnt brick my device even more. Anyways Odin was my friend it was just a matter of downloading the "Correct" rom. thanks to all that helped I appreciated you all taking the time to answer.

I would download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682. You should be able to use your PC to flash your Nandroid, although i have never done that.

It doesn't matter if USB debugging is checked if the phone is off.

when i boot to recovery it boots to manual mode anyone know what to do next?

You can flash stuff from your computer in download mode through Odin. I hate doing it myself, but will try to look it up for you

when i run in oDin it completes and gives me a pass at the end but the phone never auto reboots even though that option is checked. the phone stays on the galaxy s3 screen and never changes from there.

Boot to Recovery and reset factory defaults. That will fix it. It will still "stick" on that screen, but after a couple minutes, it will continue.

I booted to recovery did a factory reset but it still stayed on the samsung galaxy s3 screen for over fifteen minutes now. I even tried the rom toolbox someone suggested earlier but upon flashing a stock rom it prompts me to check usb debugging and I cant get past that screen.

Stock kernel! That should do the trick! Can't believe I forgot about that. Try that and it will boot up fine.

I was running paranoid android prior to this mess and yes your probably right about the kernel but I have downloaded from samsung-updates.com the ics kernel patch but its in a zip folder so i DL winzip to extract it but that doesnt seem to work either. IS there a stock rom download with a kernel i can download and use with odin?

Found a rom and a kernel in the development section and ran it thru odin and it still didnt take. I noticed that the rom flash thru odin only took about two minutes and not once did i see where the modem cycle was being applied. Still no luck for me. Since my phone does not boot pass the galaxy s3 screen is it possible to get the phone to mount via usb cable and copy the roms to internal storage and install via recovery?

Finally got it working again. Thanks to all that helped.

triangle away 2.2 problem

im using rooted stock rom, when i boot with triangle away, it say im in custom and counter is 1, so i use it to reset, but after i check again, it still the same, anyone can teach me how can i get rid of that?

Do you have a custom recovery? Chainfire states quite clearly that using a custom recovery will cause that.

Stock recovery, havent flash cwm
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium HD app

Same problem but i don't flash nothing in download mode. Only ROM in stock.

i had this issue apart from reflashing back to stock rom i read that if you did a factory reset it also works. Its just a pain installing all your apps again and setting the phone back up again.

But what will trigger this again? It quite pain if i need to do this frequently

Strange, on Note N7000 Triangle Aways sets everything to zero and samsung official. At N7100 I have custom with CWM.

After reset with triangle away,u must wipe cache and wipe data(factory reset)..then it will be 0..working for me..

Unless you're needing to return your phone, I wouldn't worry about it. You can still get the OTA updates by getting them from sammobile and flashing with Odin.

I understand Panic Mode but you need to step back and take a breath before you "fix" anything.

ok so you can get to recovery? Flashing Roms will not allow it to boot am I correct? I would factory reset, Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, flash a working rom with a verified md5, wipe cache and dalvik again. reboot

yes it needs to be in download mode and you need a tar file. It sounds like a bad SD card. Keep the file on your pc. Plenty of rooted and stock tar files around...

[Q] Please help with flashing

Hey sorry if this is the wrong thread im new to this forum :laugh:
So today i decided i wanted to root my phone and overclock my s3
im currently using t999v i believe and thought that maybe i could overclock using Siyah Kernel ( so stupid of me )
i found out the hard way that it doesnt work and now my phone loads up the samsung logo and then the samsung galaxy s3 and than a black screen with a blue led.
i can get in to cwm based recovery but when i try to wipe everything and factory reset it just goes back to black screen after the samsung logos.
please dont bash on me as i know this is enough punishment for not reading enough but any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you

If you're flashing in Odin and it's not working, you need JTAG to unbrick your phone.

Try this:
Find the correct PIT file for your phone and download the correct root66 for your phone.
Open Odin and connect your device
1. Load the root66 file in the PDA section
2. Load the PIT file in the PIT section
3. Tick Auto-Reboot, Re-Partition and F. Reset Time.
4. Hit Start and wait for PASS
5. Reboot into stock recovery and factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.

Can't Unbrick My T-Mobile Galaxy S4

Hello there, I'm stuck here with what seems to be an unbrickable TMO Galaxy S4. I've tried just aboout everything under the sun and it's still stuck in bootloop. Heres a list of things I've tried and hopefully someone and help me get this thiing up and running soon.
1. Factory Reset, then flash the MDL firmware thru odin. It passed, restarted then finishing installing in the stock recovery. Went to the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen, blacked out then rebooted = FAIL!
2. Install a custom recovery, wiped the entire phone(formatted data, wiped system, data, cache, internal, dalvik cache and did an factory reset. Then flashed Darth Stalker X1. It tried booting the first go then the screen went haywire and the phone got incredibly hot. pulled battery and it booted all the way up and a few hours later back to bootlooping but now that last fix doesn't work anymore. FAIL!
3.Updated to the MK2 firmware, wiped everything again, tried booting. Still bootloop. Installed Custom recovery Wiped everything and tried 2 different roms 1 including the X1 from before. Still Bootloop. FAIL!
4. Now I've updated to the lastest firmware, NB4. Downloaded and flashed NB4 roms like Insane Kit Kat V9 and more. Still the same results. Only time I even got a glimpse at a boot animation is when I flashed a CM based rom but its still bootlooping. FAIL!
I'm so lost on what to do next, I just need some guidance to get me on the right track to success. Please anyone who knows anything help me.

Here's some pictures of the phone

If you can't do it through kies just use Odin. The official nb4 firmware doesn't work but Fenny fixed it. Go to the link provided and download his fixed nb4 full firmware and flash it.

Looks like you've done quite a bit to fix this problem, but I'll throw in a few suggestions. May not work, but it won't hurt. Some of this might seem redundant, but who knows; it might help.
First, because KNOX has already been tripped, I'd try to flash a non-TouchWiz ROM via recovery. Once you've flashed CM11 or whatever you choose, I'd grab the charging cable that came with the phone and flash the NB4 firmware via Odin. (The reason for flashing a non-TW ROM then restoring to the factory image is that I've always encountered problems when restoring the stock image from a TW ROM like still having user data intact and other odd stuff. Flashing non-TW guarantees everything is gone.)
If you can't boot from that I'd try to manually update your modem to NB4. I know it should have flashed via Odin you updated to NB4, but I've noticed that sometimes the modem doesn't update when flashing the factory firmware in Odin. I've never updated my bootloader past MDL; just custom recovery and updated modem/baseband) and when using Odin to restore back to MDL, my modem will still say NB4. It wouldn't really cause a problem with MDL bootloader and a newer modem, but I could see how there could be a conflict if you still have the MDL modem and newer bootloader.
Good luck.

Smh nothing is working but I'm starting to think the reason why is because it's not officially SGH-M919 since after flashing every official firmware I found from MDL to NB4 and system status still comes up as custom. I will try and flash the m919n in the morning. Good idea or no?

I didn't realize it wasn't the Sgh-m919! You are correct about flashing the wrong firmware. You first need to figure out which variant your phone is so we can find the correct firmware. My apologies I was under the impression that you had a m919 when you said it was a tmo s4.

Yea that's the thing, I was under the impression it was an m919 as well that's why I posted the pics. When I initially got the phone it had m919 when booting and in the download mode. But after all those testing I'm now assuming that the previous owner change it somehow to show m919 instead of what it really could be. So the question now is what variant this is or how to figure out what it is?
