I downloaded the Jedi Mind Trick JB 2 ROM and installed it via clocwork mod recovery .. That went fine but it took me a few days to realize I didnt have a working video camera anymore on my phone.. so I thought to flash a stock ROOTed rom instead...
Then I found this threat about an updated version of Jedi Mind Trick's ROM labled JB 3.. So I wiped as much as I could in recovery and chose to format all the options it gave me in recover , Format system , data , cache , emms(or something) .. and now when I boot the phone , it shows the first flash screen , and the samsung logo starts to shimmer then it reboots back to the splash screen and repeats this process everal times before just going black and sitting there..
So I've successfully bootlooped my phone doing this..
MY PROBLEM -- I don't know how to charge my phone or connect to it to install anything else..
Is this a serious problem? How can I charge my phone to continue troubleshooting it? It still has some battery to try some things but I don't know how to hook it up to transfer any other roms to it via USB cable and PC in it's current state..
I'm very computer savvy but I'm trying to learn this phone modding stuff and I realy hope I didn't brick my phone in this process.
Can someone please help me out here? I'll be on the forums religiously until I figure this out.
What should I start doing first??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
still working at it
I think I'm at the point of having to use ODIN to flash a new rom since i cannot simply copy this rom to the sdcard to use clockwork to flash it .. Am I correct on this ?
For some reason this rom I found (should be stock rooted tmobile gSII rom) does not want to open from ODIN's PDA button cause its in .zip and not .tar or anything... I'm not sure how to flash this rom with ODIN ( I'm not even 100% sure this is how its supposed to go) Any suggestions ?
phew
UPDATE - So I managed to research enough to find out that there is no way to flash a CUSTOM rom with ODIN.. SO I had to download a stock (presumably rooted) t-mobile rom and flash THAT ...
Now I'm back up with a rooted rom and will begin re-installing clockwork and then my custom deodexed rooted rom afterward.
Thanks for all who almost kinda tried to care to reply in this past 2 hours =) -- As previously mentioned.. I am a nerd.. I just suck at phone modding. Haha
So , looks like I'm in the clear now and don't need any more support on this particular topic yet.

Is this true? Through a recommendation (haven't done anything to my phone from rooting/flashing KANGSJUGGERNAUT2 years ago), I tried to flash CM10 and ended up with a bootloop myself. Tried flashing through ODIN but it kept crashing; does anyone know why?
Afterward, I tried to reflash it through CWM and from then on bootloops into a installation process that never completes.
For some reason my CWM turned super slow, freezes/hangs and reboots after a few minutes.
I gave the phone to a friend who does this stuff on the regular but he said my initial flash wasn't complete cause in download mode says I'm still running official? No clue.
I was told this via email/chat: "No luck, it won't even boot anymore, I think I'll just bring it back tmrw morn
10:43 PM
Sorry I'm at a wedding (yea I know random) I left my phone with coat check
OK I've narrowed down the reason but not the solution, you had an AOKP based ROM which fundamentally is based on CyanogenMod, but it wasn't correctly flashed as the phone still thought it has factory ROMs still running
11:10 PM
Clockworkmod(even though it was working before) wasn't accessing the partitions of the phone correctly so it wasn't properly wiping or flashing properly.
11:12 PM
So basically from the first time you flashed cwm it didn't flash properly then the next time you flashed using the new recovery it didn't flash anything it was supposed to do itself properly , so basically it was a chain of events in addition to a bad boot loader, that's why it never went to recovery or download mode correctly
11:13 PM
That's something that had to do with the way the phone was built meaning you may of had a bad bootloader from the very begin and are now feeling the synptoms
Basically, and I would hate to be the reason or partially the reason you have a dead phone, basically it was a matter of coincedencr that it happened as this could of happened at anytime, once you have a bad boot loader its pretty much down hill from there"
Any helpful insight as how I can rectify this? is my phone truly dead? Sorry about the quoted format, it was copied and pasted.
If I were in your boat, I'd use Odin and flash the stock 4.1.2 ROM.

The phone won't turn on, unable to go into recovery and download mode; plugged in usb (hear connection beep but pressing power button plays disconnect button) to no avail. What can I do to unbrick?
Stock 4.1.2? Possible over a hardbricked T989 with old 2.3.6?

sorry but i have to assume that you are not doing the 3 button recovery or download mode right.
Pull battery, put battery back in, hold power button & Vol +/- untill you see SAMSUNG on the screen ---> let go off power button(keep holding
Vol +/- button) .....u will see recovery. (assuming you did flash cwm before).
Let me know.

I believe I am doing it correct, I have been entering recovery and download mode many times, right before I soft bricked it.
And sorry, no, I've tried many times, many methods and my phone is confirmed as entirely hard bricked.

you can try using adb and put the phone in dl mode.
sometimes its as easy as pull battery and wait awhile (20 min or more) and try again.
if you've exhausted all possibilities, you can use a jig to force a dl mode.

I don't know what adb is, or how to use it; I have, however seen my friend RDP to my desktop and do something and used the term 'adb' in his attempt to code through the phone.
I've done that battery waiting period, for nearly an hour and still no result.
After doing some researching, I have found that many people have stated a USB JIG would not be applicable to a 'hard bricked' phone. I really wanted to try as it looked like the most, simple and inexpensive solution.

It might as well have... :crying:
Last night I installed geefree on my phone from the app store and used it to install TWRP. I downloaded a nightly CM11 and an appropriate gapps. Using geefree I rebooted to recovery (never figured out the button combination to boot to recovery "naturally") and installed both of the zips. This could be where I made my mistake, I installed both at the same time.
Now my phone loops, displaying the LG logo for a few seconds, then shutting off and rebooting before repeating the process. I can't seem to get it to go into download mode or the recovery menu. I've tried power+up, power+down, down+up and each of those while plugging the device in, etc. I can get the device to a hardware key control mode, though it doesn't seem too useful.
How can I save my phone? This forum has been a great resource in the past and I'm very grateful for the many tutorials I've followed rooting other devices. Hopefully you guys can save the day once again!
Volume up plus power is how to access recovery on sprint.
What stock sw version were you on before you flashed cm?
Did you wipe data before flashing?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I was using stock 4.2.2, I believe. I didn't wipe the data (shame on me), a bad habit that I picked up from my first rooted device, the Samsung Moment. It didn't ever matter on that one, afaik. Thanks for the reply!
Edit: Volume up and power whether plugged in or not takes me to the hardware key control mode screen.
Second Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&page=35 I also found this thread where someone seems to be experiencing similar issues and they fix it with "LG Utility." Is that a PC application? It's a little vague to google, but I've been trying!
I have a bootloop issue every time i flash a rom i have to wipe all but sd flash roms and gapps the i do a restore from twrp and oly restore my boot image only and they boot no prob
I'm kind of starting to suspect my power button doesn't work at all for whatever reason. I have a lot of difficulty getting the phone to shut down, then it doesn't seem to easily power up. It's a strange collection of problems. Would a Sprint repair place be able to fix this?
If they have parts on hand if not either a swap out or a sendoff
Same problem here - bootloop and no download mode - CWM works! - urgently need help
I guess I have the same problem as InlineFourPower (apart from that my power-button has no problem).
I am stuck in bootloop since I tried to upgrade to Kitkat a few days ago. Now I can´t get into download mode any more, nor into fastboot or anything else. Only CWM works.
From within CWM I can successfully flash ROMs but that doesn´t help, since afterwards I am still stuck in bootloop. It is possible, however, to push files via adb-commands while I am in CWM.
Does anybody have an idea how to go from here or how to get download-mode back?
Device is recognized but can´t be mounted - bricked forever?

I tried a few things on Linux.
After terminal-command "ls /dev/sd*" when the device is unplugged from the computer I get "/dev/sda".
When the device is connected via USB, I get: "/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
So sdb is my LG G2.
So I went on to the next command: "gdisk -l /dev/sdb"
As a result I get: "Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 123."
Does it mean that the phone isn´t mounted or what? Now I´ve connected my phone to another Linux machine with the same result. It is recognised (p.e. as sdd), but there is no sdd1. Seems as if it is recognized, but can´t be mounted. Does that mean my device is bricked for good? That´s it?
to get the phone into download mode you have to plug the usb cord in and hold VOL+, so to get this right as I have a case on mine, plug the usb into the phone first then hold VOL+ and plug into usb port on the computer.
it does take a loooong time to power down the phone with the button when stuck in a boot loop, just keep holding it until it shuts off, it will shut off eventually!!
plug the phone in while in download mode to install drivers and set com ports, then unplug before you begin your flash with LGFlashTool, hope this helps you out.

Thanks Cronic2009 for your advice.
There are, however, szenarios where download-mode is not accessible any more. Neither by using the hardware-keys, nor by using the adb-command.
After four days of resarch and a lot of trial and error, I finally unbricked my F320L using the two adb-commands outlined at the beginning of that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Worked like a charm.
Thanks everyone for your advice.
no problem buddy, glad you got it figured out, good luck to you from here on out!
FYI, that link doesn't work
I just wanted to ask anyone who might know, since the bootloader of the LS980 is locked, we cannot "break" this correct, so no matter what commands we decide to run through root, we cant touch the true bootloader there for LS980 fail safe? (Besides Acts of God, EMP, ect)

Thanks for letting me know. I corrected the link in my previous post.
Be sure if you use a aosp based rom to flash the ZV8 modem. Your can use dr87 or furnance kernals after you flash the zva modem althought i have encountered soft brick due to this.

Borderline noob here, so please bear with me...
I have been using TWRP 2.7.0.0 to do all my work, and I was able to get the Lego ROM installed with ZVA. I got into too big of a hurry and forgot to make a backup of stock. I've also been unsuccessful in trying to install ZVC modem and firmware. Thankfully ZVA works as does the LEGO ROM, but I'd like to have stock there to access as well. The stockZVC that's on the Android Development page has been getting stuck (bootloop?) on the Sprint Spark logo. I've done TWRP's factory reset with no success. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!
Yes sir I've tried that and more to no avail is there anything I can do through adb I'm on stock recovery phone doesn't stay on long enough to install anything

Sounds like you softbricked it. Here's how to fix that (note the tablet MUST BE plugged into a PC to fix this) :
mitchellvii said:
If you have flashed a rom and your tablet "soft bricks", i.e. it gets stuck at the Samsung splash screen or boot loops Recovery there is an easy way to recover without having to reflash the original firmware in ODIN (assuming you were smart and made a NANDROID backup before flashing your rom).
TURNING THE DARNED THING OFF:
Here's the problem. If you are at the Samsung splash screen or boot looping Recovery, you cannot turn your tablet off by just pressing the power button and you can't pull the battery. This prevents you from getting back into Recovery and restoring your NANDROID backup. So here is what you do:
1) Plug your tablet into your computer (this is important!).
2) Hold down the home, volume down and power buttons until you boot into download mode. Once you are prompted, push the volume up button to enter download mode completely.
3) Now, once in download mode, hold down the power and volume down buttons (not the home button this time) until you screen goes blank (your tablet MUST be plugged into your computer for this to work!). Release the buttons and you will see the battery symbol on your screen. Your tablet is now off - thank god.
4) To enter Recovery mode, hold the home, volume up and power buttons down until Recovery loads.
5) Restore your NANDROID backup.
Disaster averted.

I would recommend redownloading a stock ROM and flashing that using Odin. Good luck!
Stock roms are country specific. If you bought the device in China, you to have to install the Chinese version or else you will always be in a bricked loop state.

Any idea where to find USA specific stock firmware? I've looked on Samsungupdate.com and sammobile.com with no luck.
Everytime it's the same:
people are experimenting with their expensive tablet/phone without knowing what the consequences are!
And then, when the experiment fails, they don't know what todo and other people may come with solutions!
Get first some more info before "playing" with your expensive gadget!

Good point. I'm a flashaholic with my phone but intended to leave my T805 unrooted. However, I couldn't accept the SD card limitations and not being able to choose which apps to have on my tablet. It should be my choice not Samsung's and this might be causing people to try rooting without the necessary knowledge. Rant over.

Hi All,
My parents in law handed me there phone, with a 'it thought' simple question.
They have an Wileyfox swift 2x with a touchscreen that doesn't respond anymore.
I thought.... resetting to factory defaults would do the trick.. but it doesnt change anything.
So now i would like to downgrade or updrage de OEM. But for so far i know, that can only bee done with USB debus enabled.. A function I can't enable because, funny as it is, the touchscreen doesn't work.
Any great tips that can help me?
I also tried to update with a sdcard, but i can't seem to find a wording Factory Rom.. it keeps saying the updates are for 'marmite' and my device is.. '' empty brackets.

boot the phone into fastboot(bootloader) *using hardware buttons
then using fastboot you can flash & reset the phone
this should work regardless of usb debug
this should work even if bootloader is locked if you are using official firmware
you can try using google accoung to wipe the phover wifi if connected to internet
you can try to remove and then reattach the screen
but really you should buy a new screen from internet and attach that
Hi KevMetal,
Thanks for your very quick awners. When i enter the bootloader menu.. i only have the options,
- Restart bootloader
- Start
- Recovery mode
Cant find a option like flash & reset.
An for the screen. A lot of therds state that its a OEM update issue and not a hardware issue. The screen is fully intact..

when you are in the bootloader menu
select recovery
*you select recovery by moving with volume buttons and selecting/yes/enter with power button *touch not needed
in recovery you use the volume buttons to navigate and power button to select
navigate to reset using volume button
then wipe / reset / clear cache etc

if your device is no longer recognized as marnite it meand you installed some incompatible rom or you are trying to install a custom rom using stock recovery ...wont work ...you need a stock rom ...flashable in stock recovery which is in the marmite forum thread with collection of stock roms

Update: tried with laptop still same thing, is there anybody that can offer a suggestion? I even unplugged the battery and plugged back in. I also tried several older versions of Odin.
Well since nobody knows what to do my research indicates possibly nand chip has failed meaning hardware issue. Gonna look at returning it.

Hi,
Did you end up fixing the issue? I think I have the same issue as yours on a SM T800. It came with 4.4.2 so when I tried to update to Marshmellow it failed and it restarted fine, and it told me to update via my pc using Kies or smarth switch. So I did so and guess what happened Smart Switch failed as well but now it bricked the tablet. So when Smart switch tries to install the recovery, same thing. So I now have a brick! So I am trying to find out if there was a solution or not. If not I will just have to wear it.
Thanks.

You're saying you can't get it back into the Odin download mode?
Hold HOME+ VOLUME UP+VOLUME DOWN+POWER. (Keep holding)
When the Samsung splash screen comes up, let go of the VOLUME UP button.
When the Odin warning screen comes up, let go of all buttons and click VOLUME UP.
Even when I was sure mine was soft-bricked, I was able to get it into Odin download.

In my limited experience with Odin, I find it to be a very stable, robust, and reliable application. Having said that, and not knowing what version you're using, the usual suggestions are:
Try another (older) version of Odin.
Try another USB cable.
Always use a USB 2 port.
Try a different firmware package making *certain* it's for your model tab. (<- This is what's most suspect - IMHO.)
As long as you can still invoke the Odin downloader on your tab, there's still hope.
Good morning, Sir
News update, detailed search carried out, found the latest specific Samsung Firmware, (XEH-T805XXU1CPL1-20170111202424 with MM.)
The procedure with Odin has been successfully completed. (end of good news) At the end of the operation the tablet remains with the logo samsung bright intermittently . performed hard reset but remains stuck on the initial logo samsung always bright intermittently.
Suggestions?

PM SENT.
Yup. Been there. Done exactly that. I fixed it by subscribing to SamMobile, then paying for and downloading the OEM firmware. That's probably the best news, You can always get back to a box-stock condition. If you have the patience, you can download the firmware for free.
EDIT: Once I got back to stock, I looked for and found:
DAMMIT! I keep forgetting we have two different tabs. Obviously Klimtwifi is wrong for you.
lineage-14.1-20200321-UNOFFICIAL-klimtwifi, installed it with Odin3_v3.11.2 (Not sure it matters.)
Then rooted it using Odin: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/android-basics-root-with-cf-auto-root-0167401/
And, once rooted, installed the Official TWRP app from Google Play. I always use the next older version of TWRP (twrp-3.3.0-0-klimtwifi) because TWRP doesn't like me much.
Then, rebooted into recovery and flashed GApps (open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20200417)
FWIW - This is from feeble memory, and I still have all the files - both those that worked and those that didn't - all in the same folder. So if something doesn't work for you, I've got what worked for me.
All said, getting LineageOS on this thing was far, far simpler that trying to get it back to stock.

IS A build guide available ??
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 LTE is no longer maintained.
I just thought I’d switch to android 4.4 ....
The problem comes from the loss of boot files?

This should get you where you want to be: http://www.lineageosdownloads.com/download-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-lte-lineage-os/
I'm not sure what caused the problem in the first place. I was just very relieved to see it boot when i got the stock ROM back on it.
Did you restore yours back to stock? It's good practice.

Good morning,
The tablet is Hungarian (made search via samsung and s n), I install unique files (extension .md5).
installed the version K.K. 4 , the only novelty the presence during the first restart of the colored logo, performed manual restart and hard reset /wipe ,
At the end it remains with the Samsung logo bright intermittently (Samsung logo power etc.etc.). Found the multifile firwarware.
Odin does not recognize extension . enc4 and (oddly ) I find nothing to extract Files...

Did you find your model number on the SamMobile website? That's really where you need to start. Once you have the correct OEM firmware, using Odin to install it is a no-brainer. You need to get back to stock before you can move on to custom.
What is your complete model number?
Send me a private message. I think I may be confused and am causing you extra confusion.

Good morning,
Downloaded and installed the latest version SM-T805_t805xxu1cpl1_marshmallow(Android 6.0.1)_Xeh_factory Rom (4 File)_20170111.zip.enc4. (decrypted with an earlier version of samfirm (3.9 ).
the installation procedure of the 4 files, AP, BL, CP, CSC, does not involve problems.
Unfortunately at the end of the procedure the Tablet does not restart automatically, and after its hard wipe reset remains locked on the initial logo samsung always bright intermittently.
During the tests I noticed that holding down the power button tries to start. The second samsung logo stands out completely but does not pass the stage.
The feeling he can’t make it.
A new PIT file?

Good morning, first of all
I want to thank you for your patience and time.
Performed yet another installation test with Odin this time with Android 5 (XEH-T805XXU1BOJ1-20151111094815) similar result, you have precedents.
But with a novelty
.At the end of the installation, the tablet remains off, as in the pretending tests, I try to start it normally but nothing, in addition to the ever-present Logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) flashing intermittently.
I press the power button for several seconds with the result of making the second samsung logo appear (colored) with an Android loading start, release the button, the device turns off.
By re-activating the flashing logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) normally.
Holding down the power button starts
Android update - optimization of the accompanying application (192 tot), a few minutes later always with the power pressed, the process ends and the installation of applications begins, after a few seconds, the first APP starts., the tablet turns off.
By turning it on again and the intermittent luminous logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) reappears.
Repeating the procedure (power button pressed continuously) you get colored samsung logo and the writing (alkalmazàsok telepitèese) installation of applications and turns off.
I perform a wipe data / factory reset obtaining:
--wiping data—
Formatting / data ...
Formatting / cache ...
Formatting / sbfs ....
E: unknow volume for path [/ sbfs]
E: unknow volume "/ sbfs"
Complete data wipes.
I run reboot system now.
The tablet turns on with the intermittently lit Logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S).
By repeating the whole procedure previously described, no changes are obtained.

Neither Google nor I understand that phrase. Do you?
Irrespective of that, I'm at my wit's end. And, assuming you're following the published directions, you may be looking at a hardware failure.
Just to confirm, before all this started for you, this was a working tablet?

good morning,
the tablet was working, during a game session started to reboot, always and only with the logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) bright intermittently, performed hard reset, I did not fix anything. The only news, these days, after Odin, is the complete installation of android 5 with the power key pressed all the time.releasing the tablet key turns off . At the next power on I get the logo (Samsung Galaxy tab S) bright intermittently.
thank you for your patience and professionalism

This is the screen you see *before* you invoke Odin and connect the tab to your PC?
