I think I can use a little help.
I tried to update my SGS from I9000XXJF3 to I9000XXJF7.
I followed the steps with Odin etc etc....bu now my device does not reboot anymore! It only shows a white screen with blue letters "AT&T WORLD PHONE".
I can not get the device in download mode or recovery mode anymore. When I'm pushing volume down + home + on/off button, it shows the same white screen.
What can I do now? I hope I didn't brick the device....
Can't even get into the menus to flash? Wow.. I don't think you can fix that.
Nope... this sucks big time! Pff I cant stand it anymore...i go to take a sleep now. Tomorrow i try again, but i dont feel like it is going to work!
I tried everything, volume up + home + on/off button = White screen
volume down + home + on/off button = White screen..

AT&T...
Mate, did you flash Captivate with I9000 firmware? They are, kind of, like 2 different phones...
You can use I9000 firmware, but only if you use standard modem file (that from what I briefly read, I can be completely wrong).

Did you remove the battery and force a fresh boot into download mode?
And yeah. Are you sure you don't have a captivate and not a SGS i9000?
Remove the battery which might force a reset of the device.
Once you put the battery back in see if you can get into Download Mode again then go through the reflash firmware again. Make sure your using the correct files.

Beat me to it.
I have the same problem, I tried to get the phone into download or recovery mode, but no success, it switches between AT&T white screen and black screen all the time...I'm trying since last night, this is frustrating...
Yes, exactly the same problem with my i9000. When I try to enter in donwnload mode I have a white screen with a blue text "AT&T world phone" and it is blincking.
Can't enter in download mode, can't flash new ROM witk Kies......I can do nothing...
Can anyone help me please? There is any chance to recover my phone back?
Thank you very much.
My e-mail is "[email protected]"
Yes, after hours and hours of studing the problem I can confirm:
By mistake, I was using Odin for Captivate , on trying to bring back to life my i9000.
Now, what can I do? There is any chance to get the phone in to the download mode?
Thank you very much for your time and patience...
OK you used the wrong ODIN version... but I thought ODIN doesn't touch the bootloader? So if this is also correct for the captivate version of ODIN, I think there is still hope.
Maybe you can find something useful in the captivate forum.

Same Problem Here This is My most Stupid Firmware Flashing ever made.
Please Help
cant find any info in the captivate forum
Download the correct ODIN, PIT and Firmware. Set them up on your computer.
Remove the battery, SIM and SDCard from your phone. Wait a few seconds.
Re-insert your Battery only.
Put the phone into Download Mode - volume down + home + on/off button
You might need to try this a few times I don't always get it first time.
Connect the phone to your computer by USB and confirm ODIN see's it.
Then flash the firmware again.
Wait for reboot then switch off and re-insert your SIM, SDCard.
Should be right now. Fingers crossed for you.

If you can put your phone in download mode you're not bricked.
Use Odin to get back to stock

i still get fail from odin....thats actually the thing i dont get....can it be from drivers?
Are you using the cable that came with the phone? I had the same problem and its because I was using another cable. If Odin isn't working. Kies should work as well. P.m. me if you need more help.

If you are stuck in a bootloop after running the recovery file in odin (it's 1.6 GB unzipped), which is the way things sound, pull the battery and go into stock recovery. Do this by replacing the battery, holding volume up, home, and power button until the ble recovery shows in the upper left then let go. In stock recovery, scroll down 9using volume button) to wipe data/factory reset. Coose that option with the power button. You will lose ALL data on your phone and you will have to go thru setup again. When it's done choose reboot in the menu and let it reboot. Don't freak if it takes a while. In a minute or 2 you will see the screen dim and it will boot. Go thru setup, root again, install custom recovery, and if you were wise enough to have done a backup tp your SD card, you can get it back.
Good luck, there are tutorials on Youtube if you care to search for them. Here's a good one -

Good suggestion :good:
I think the issue is that he's making things more complicated than he needs to.
A step by step by the op would be helpful if your suggestion doesn't resolve the issue
---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------
Op, you're a little confusing.
Are you able to successfully use ODIN and flash stock firmware, but get stuck in a boot loop or freeze on Samsung splash?
Or ODIN fails?
From you're posts it sounds like both issues are occurring, but I think it's a posting conflict, and your issue is one or the other, unless I'm wrong, which I've been before
when i try recovery it goes to boot saying loading recovery than it goes full off and after boot screen again...i tried twrp and still nothing but the good thing is that odin passed that ..the only thing it didnt fail....maybe i didnt have the right rom ...i am downloading the official i9505 rom and i hope it will work this time....but plz if any1 can help i would apriciate it
Odin problem
I am also having a odin problem. I have tried jdownloader2 as well. Everything is giving me an error on extraction. My phone is stuck on the pulsing T-Mobile 4G LTE. Please help...my wife is looking at me like I just wasted money on a useless brick :silly:
Make sure you guys ODIN the correct Stock Firmware for your model device.
Make sure you ODIN the correct Custom Recovery for your model device.
And if you're Rooting, for example with CF-AUTO-ROOT by Chain fire, make sure you ODIN the proper version for your device.
In addition, check your USB cable to ensure it's working properly 100% of the time and have enough battery juice to perform the above procedures.
Odin problem
I have double check all the stock firmware. Got the files from 247extreme.com, given to me by DarkMenace. Several downloads of the same files...nothing seems to pass the MD5 check. The USB cable is 100%.

Go into Stock Recovery
Wipe data and Factory Reset option
Boot
And everything will be good
I had the same happen to me regarding the Android on his back with a Red X.
I had to research to find what this mmeant and what to do.
After ODIN, I would freezeion Samsung splash twice.
Pull battery
Install battery
Press Power and Vol up buttons till you see the upper left hand blue script, andtrelease buttons to get into Recovery.
I went into Stock Recovery and chose the option where it says Factory Reset.
I then Booted Successfully.
Afterwards, I ODIN'd Custom Recovery, TWRP 2.5.0.2

Hi, I'm kinda new to rooting android phone.I just got a galaxy s6 edge from tmobile and I would lIke to root the phone. Searching around the forum but still doesn't ubderstand how's it work. So I got a galaxy s6 edge, baseband version G95TUVU3DOI1, come with 5.1.1 SMG 925T. Question is if I'm root the phone will i able to restore back to stock firmware, will tmobile able to find out if I rooted or not? Because I'm in Jump! Program and plan to switch new phone next year. And its there any easy step by step guide to root the phone. I don't really care about Samsung pay, would like to have fingerprint sensor if possible. Thank you
Before you do anything, understand that you WILL TRIP KNOX AND BREAK SAMSUNG PAY. Also, it is your choice to modify your device and this process seems to work differently for differnt people, so if anything happens, it's on you. However, there are several threads here that can help you if anything goes wrong
Okay, make a backup of all your stuff on SmartSwitch
You're going to want to download ODIN 3.10.7 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
Then you're going to want to download UniKernel v8 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...d-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395
Open ODIN on your computer and don't touch anything yet
Then you're going to put your phone into download mode by turning it off, then holding POWER+VOL DOWN+HOME until a blue screen appears.
Press VOL UP to enter download mode and connect your phone to your computer with the cable that came with your phone
Wait for the little box at the top left to turn blue
On ODIN, click the AP button and locate the UniKernel v8 file that you downloaded before
Once you've found it, double click it to fill in the AP field with the file
Click START and do not touch anything until it's done.
Your phone will restart and once it comes back up, you'll be rooted. It can take several minutes for it to fully boot, so give it time.
Now, this is optional, but if you want a custom recovery to flash custom ROMS, download TWRP onto your computer from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...recovery-twrp2-8-6-0-g925t-5-1-1-of6-t3143002
Flash that file through ODIN using the same process as you used to flash UniKernel.
This recovery will let flash custom ROMs. I recommend XstreStoLite as it is very good on battery life, but you will not be able to use WiFi calling or VOLTE. You can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
Let me know how it goes.

Yes. There is a small chance, but the method I described is the exact same method I used on my device and I've had no issues. Even if you do, there is almost a 0% chance of a hard brick unless you touch something you're not supposed to touch, and if you do soft brick, there are a few threads here that should be able to help. More than likely flashing stock firmware will fix any problems you have.

Where are you getting the firmware from? What version of ODIN are you using? What port are you using in ODIN to flash the firmware?
There is a Mega download of the DOI1 firmware somewhere around here. I recommend downloading that and flashing using the AP port in ODIN 3.10.7, using the cable that came with your phone. This is the exact method I used to return to stock with no issues.

You mean your phone sticks at the "Set warranty Bit : kernel" black screen? It soft bricks?
Doesn't sound good. But you need to tell us what you did, did you just turn it on? Any recent updates just before and any error messages? Did it force close before or shut down due to low battery the time before you got this message? Does it stay on the same screen or boot loop?
Do a battery pull & leave it for a bit before putting it back as a start.

It seems to have made a simple upgrade .....
Figure out what firmware you were on before it stopped working then download it and flash it with odin. That usually makes everything good to go. Kernel bit just means that a custom kernel was flashed or got corrupt. Also flashing the firmware shouldn't wipe your old files.
same problem here on my galaxy S4 mini , ""SET WARRANTY BIT : KERNEL"".....z phone stays on this screen and when i want to unpower it, it reboots unceasingly on the same screen with this warning, i have to take off the battery to shut it down completly....i think the galaxy S4 mini was on a crappy lineage 14.1 (this rom as lots of problems) What is ur SOLUTION friends ... ????

I read a little about using qfil some time ago, and even if you can find the files I don't think it will work on Samsung phones, though I stopped researching when I read the following link (luckily my phone was not bricked, so I didn't need to), he says QFIL won't work as Samsung do not use the default options (well that was my understanding)
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload_edl/
I think the only option is take it to a repair shop for jtag or new emmc/motherboard, but I could be wrong. (or buy an old phone with cracked screen and use the motherboard from that)
While I was searching the web for files the phone was connected to the pc. It didn't show any signs of life until a battery icon suddenly popped on the screen. I was even able to boot into download mode, but when I went to recovery it said "No Command". Odin recognized the device, I flashed stock, but when i tried to boot it up, It was in a bootloop. I tried flashing many times with no success, still bootloops. Even after the flashing the recovery was in "No Command" mode. Yesterday i tried to flash it for the last time with the same rom, and this time it just booted to the Samsung logo and then turned off. Now I'm back to the 9008 mode. I tried the sdcard method with a debrick.img, no success. Any idea what might be wrong with the phone?
Okay so now I'm again in download mode, but everytime i boot up the samsung logo distorts and stock recovery shows up but it says E: Can't mount /cache or smth. I've read that i need the correct pit file, apparently the one I have is for the 8gb version. Can anybody send me the .pit file for the 16gb version?

Yesterday i tried to flash it for the last time with the same rom, and this time it just booted to the Samsung logo and then turned off. Now I'm back to the 9008 mode. I tried the sdcard method with a debrick.img, no success. Any idea what might be wrong with the phone?

Okay so now I'm again in download mode, but everytime i boot up the samsung logo distorts and stock recovery shows up but it says E: Can't mount /cache or smth. I've read that i need the correct pit file, apparently the one I have is for the 8gb version. Can anybody send me the .pit file for the 16gb version?

Hey, Hi.
So same thing happened with me, I was on Stock Kitkat S4 mini i9192, phone froze while using and never booted up. But then I left it connected to laptop and it vibrated and showed the battery icon and I got every problem same as you, like no command, boot loop, and again phone went into QHS_DLoad mode.
I want to know that how did you manage to get back into the Odin Download mode again because since the last time my phone didn't show any sign of life and I also want to know if you were able to fix it? I have not tried debrick.img yet. Please help to fix my phone :laugh:

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I found out that the flash memory of the phone was dead. After all I've done the phone just turned off, and never turned on again. I also found out that this phone is known for dying memory chips.
Howdy. Does anybody know what happened here and how to fix it???

Thank you, I was thinking that once the battery is empty and when you connect it via USB mode, it reboots itself, so maybe that is why you got the second chance with it but when I got the phone turned on, I charged it up to 90 percent and now my battery is not draining. Previously my phone died when it was having around 35% of charge which was drained in 20 days. So I have avery strong reason to believe that its just a corrupt bootloader and I have to flash using pit.

I did try flashing with .pit, but to no avail. Actuall, it recalled to me right know, god knows how I managed to flash stock firmware., BUT, everytime the phone started booting, the samsung loading logo would become slowly more and more distorted, until all my screen became pink with white stripes. It was strange.
