bell Recovery mode trick

1. download and open odin 4.03
2. With oden 4.03 running connect the phone
3. remove battery
4. hold volume- home and power while inserting the battery
5. smile you should be in recovery
(worked for we with a bell phone with 3 button disabled with the connect to computer screen)

getting into recovery mode isn't hard -- you can use ADB tools and it's MUCH easier
the problem is getting into download mode -- I was told these are different ?

You can go into download mode with adb too or something similar, i'll try to find the link when i get to my desktop

Can those who have 3 button disable try wht the OP suggested ? I dont understand wht u 2 are talking about :S
Yes getting into recovery/download is easy w/o 3 button when u have a working firmware, its when u don't u end up a with a $600 brick. If what OP says is true, it should allow u 2 enter recovery/download even in a situation like the one previously described.

Wow - if this works it could really help a lot of folks out... anybody without 3-button recovery want to try this?

Tried the procedure described but no luck at all (at least with my phone). Thanks for the trick though.
I'm already sick and tired of having to cross my fingers every time I flash a firmware via ODIN, knowing that I only have one shot to get it right.

Assuming if this procedure works, will the phone be able to get into recovery mode the next time without connecting to Odin?
If it doesn't, the phone is still going to be a brick when it fails to boot.

anyone got link for Odin4?
i'm still using Odin3

I tried this also. Doesn´t work for me.
Seems rather pointless plugging it in to Odin if the computer cannot recognize the phone, if it could...then we wouldn´t have a problem to begin with.

[Q] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II soft brick

OK I was trying to flash an unlocked kernal via ODIN last night, something went wrong and now phone is stuck on the phone--!--computer screen. I cannot get past this screen. vol+home+power doesn't do anything but loop to the same screen.
It shows ODIN MODE in red at the top of the screen, but ODIn won't recognize the phone, nor will Kies (not running at the same time). Computer makes USB connected/disconnected sound when I plug and unplug the phone.
I have tried One-Click Unbrick, did not recognize that phone was connected.
Help!!

which model of Galaxy S2 do you have?

there''s currently nothing to flash this phone
it came out only 2 days ago
DEV are still working on finding root
so, the best suggestion is to take it back to the store and get it exchanged
or wait a few more days/weeks until a flashable release becomes available to fix the mistake

I know, I was hasty and now this. Even when there something available to flash, the device isn't being recognized by ODIN. Any troubleshooting help for this?

When I managed to get my Vibrant into that mode I could pull the battery, hold volume up, put the battery in, press and release power (still holding volume up) and it'd kick back into download mode everytime. Once in download mode I could plug the USB in and a running ODIN would see it pop up. If ODIN wasn't running and USB was already plugged in things wouldn't work right.
I haven't tried ODIN on the GS2 yet (I'll wait for a root ). I did find the vibrant nearly impossible to brick though... trust me I unexpectedly tried quite hard.
You might need the newest ODIN for GS2 support, and possibly newer drivers.

I'm a bit new to this, but a custom ROM shouldn't affect your recovery mode. Are you sure you are using the correct buttons and methods to boot recovery?
Might want to make a new thread instead of necroing something from when the phone was 2 days old.

I have GT I9100 and done the same thing and got the same result . stuck at setup connection with odin
Please Help

Go into device manager when is plugged in and if it says qhd-usb or something like that its a hard brick. What tipped me off was you said it makes two noises when you plug in. that's a tell tell sign your hard bricked

You should try to uninstall then reinstall driver, and try another usb port. In my experience, Odin seems to be picky, it only recognizes your phone if you plug it in the usb port that you used in the first time.

Recovery is accessed by holding both vol + and - while starting the phone. Hold them both while pressing the power button, then release the power button when it vibrates, keep holding the vol buttons till you see the recovery screen.

[Q] Bricked GS2 E4GT

Alright guys, I'm lost here and could really use some help.
I was trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic Touch 4G for Sprint. I most likely flashed the wrong bootloader or something in Odin. Long story short, I bricked it.
I went into download mode and tried again with different (presumably correct) files. Now it automatically boots into system recovery mode. I can still access download mode but both Kies and Windows fail to recognize the device (meaning I can't use Odin).
Also, when in recovery mode I can't select anything. I can scroll through the options but the only button that does anything is the search button which seems to just toggle text on the screen.
Any help is appreciated.
*UPDATE*
When booting into recovery mode when it says updating application it now says:
--Updating application...
E:install-application_for_customer:can't unmount/preload
copy application failed.

same problem here bro, im sure someone will figure out something

I had a problem with the Galaxy S the other day and it wasn't even turning on. I used a jig to get into Download mode which you obviously can do and then tried Odin. It would not recognize my phone just like yours is doing. What helped me was a program called Heimdall that found proper drivers and reloaded the stock rom and boot.im which helped me out of a tough situation. I am not sure where it is for our phones but see if you can use that program instead of Odin. It worked for me at least.
Sorry thats the best I got

Try plugging it into a different computer and see if the computer reacts at all, make some USB ding sounds, etc. If there is no reaction the USB port is not active and new drivers wouldn't help. If it reacts but doesn't ultimately install the drivers because they aren't present, that is ok, just have to find the right drivers for it to get recognized.
If you have no reaction from the new PC, try booting into Android and press ##8778# in the dialer. If a screen comes up, select "All" and press the [Back] capacitative button.
I don't know if that will do anything with the ROM/bootloader you have installed, but it changes what interfaces the USB port exports on the regular E4GT software.

It won't respond when plugged into any computer. Also, if I could boot Android I wouldn't have a problem.

Check what you flashed. If it was for another phone install the drivers for that phone. This typically happens when you try to flash something for another phone and it looks like that phone to windows.

Excellent idea! That makes sense. Based on the links I posted earlier, can you figure out what drivers I need to install?

I'm honestly considering this right now...
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/

If you don't hear the USB ding sounds at all nor see any reaction from the new PC trying to find drivers that aren't there, new drivers won't help. The PC doesn't see anything because the USB interface isn't active.
If you can play around with various resets and get to the point you hear ding sounds or the PC starts reacting, then there is hope.

Hey OP this thread deals with drivers I have a feeling some or all of the info in this thread will help you out. There are links to international sgs2 drivers and other useful info. like the earlier post stated knowing what you actually flashed is your first step at getting your computer to recognize your phone if ya flashed it to another version then you need the drivers for that phone installed in comp.

Rather than trying to fix it myself what do you guys think about just taking it to Sprint? I read somewhere that you can clear the flash counter with a Jig so sprint won't know I tried to root it.

[q] asking about phone brick!

When I finish restore my back up, I reboot my phone and it get brick (JUGG 5.0)!!! I cannot even press any button to turn the screen on!! Already try with different charger, battery and sim card also!! Does someone have any idea please!!

Try the long power button press. Press the power button and hold it for like 10 seconds (Maybe more, it always feels more then 10 seconds). The phone should vibrate 3 times and then you release.
If that doesn't work, then see if you can get into download mode and get Odin to recognize your phone.

I already try, I press it nearly 1 minute, but the screen doesn't turn on!

what exactly are you doing? you were making a backup in cwm, it finished and then you rebooted?

I flash a new Rom, but I don't like it. So I use Darkside Superwipe to wipe all cache and data of that Rom so that I can do the back up. After the back up process is finished,(I see everything runs well). I reboot the phone and it gets brick.

No, it doesn't work. All the buttons freeze now

You most likely are hard bricked, but you still have a slight chance to get into download mode. Not sure how you managed a brick by restoring a backup, but I'll try to help.
Ok, you are going to need the drivers for your phone. http://www.mediafire.com/file/6onrjbyd46j4lhj/T-Mobile_t989_GSII_ADB_Drivers.zip
You need odin as well, download it. http://www.mediafire.com/?u868rqz4qn0ta34
These links were provided by KonstantinKeller
Go here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and make an account. I use sammobile because it contains everything in one shot. No need to get radio and crap from other places. After you make an account go to firmware section and type t989 in the search box. download the t989uvkid. ASSUMING YOU HAVE AMERICAN T989
After you have completed the download you are going to need to unzip it with 7zip to extract the tar.
Plug the USB cable into your computer, without plugging it into your phone.
Hold VOL UP + VOL DOWN while plugging in the USB cable to your phone. Stop holding buttons when the ''Warning'' appears.
Press Volume UP and start ODIN (Run as Admin on Vista and 7, just to be safe)
Click PDA and locate the MD5 file you extracted earlier.
WAIT FOR ODIN TO RECOGNIZE YOUR PHONE. THE COM PORT WILL TURN YELLOW AND HAVE A NUMBER
MAKE SURE NOTHING BUT AUTO REBOOT IS CHECKED!!!!!!!
Press 'Start' and be patient. It will take a few minutes because it is a large file.
phone will reboot automatically.
If you can't get the phone to be recognized try different usb ports or a different computer if you have another. This may not work at all, considering it sounds like you are hard bricked. Good luck!

[Q] sgs3 failed rooting attempt

I tried to root my sgs3 today and wasn't paying attention and used the wrong guide. I used the stuff for the non-us phones. Now when I turn my phone on, the only thing that shows up is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I've tried using kies to reset it but I had never used it previously so it is unable to connect to the phone. It basically has 2 states now, off and the one described. is there any way to fix this?

Enter download mode by pressing the three keys power button+home key+volume down.
If it doesnt work enter recovery mode by pressing power button+ home key+volume up
And if both won't work you might have to use a usb jig

listen to what people are saying to you. go into download mode. Your phone turns on and it should be able to go into download mode now.

Just to clear things up. When the device says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." It is putting itself into download mode and you should see the normal download mode text at the top of the screen to clarify "Product Name, Custom Binary, ETC". The previous posters are correct, you must flash via odin. Follow the guide here very carefully and it should be fixed.

Remember the recovery screen you are seeing IS download mode so pretend you already put the phone in download mode and follow it from there.
Best of luck!
