So i tried to root my tablet yesterday and i didnt notice at first that i pick an mx5 for an older android phone i have. So i stopped odin on my pc and the tablet was stuck in download mode frozen, so i took the battery out and now it wont turn on, but when i plug it in to my computer it still shows up in odin but xant connect to it what can i do?
Why did you take out the battery? Letting it die could of helped. Did you press start of anything in odin? Or did you stop odin while it flahed the md5. This could determine if your partition isnt messed up. The only tip I got right now is to take it to samsung and get it repaired.
I took the battery out to see of i could reboot it but it didnt work and yes ot was mod process in odin before i realized what i had done, i dont really want to send it into samsung because i dont want it to be gone for awhile, could a computer repair store do it for me?
Try this. Read post #1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2838473
Thank you so much got it working again, time to log some crazy jerrys game hours
So that link that i gave you worked?
well i tried it, but it didnt work when it was in the computer but connecting it again must have done something cause i was able to get download mode so i just flashed the proper files and got it working

Ok, I tried doing that boot logo thing by Rodderik.
It failed and left me in download mode. I know of no other way to get out of it download mode other than flashing something. The computer didnt want to see the phone, so i did a battery pull and it would only let me put it in download mode, or else i would get the cell to computer screen.
So i tried doing eb13 flash i had on hand... it froze 1/2 thru at factory... so i tried ec05 and tried to flash that... odin sees the phone but when it gos to do anything it fails out the gate. I was having better luck with eb13 so when i tried that, it started doing the same thing.
The pit is in the pit slot and the tar is in the phone slot....
I'm going to go buy a new cable... anyone else can think what might help???
have you tried putting the .tar in pda. that is what usually works for me

This ^^^^^ and try different slots. Also try it with the battery out, plug it into the computer then hold 1 and power to get into download mode. Flash without the battery. Then when it goes to reboot, disconnect and put the battery in.
do what these guys are suggesting and pm me if you still need help with the logo thing and i'll fix ya up
I got it to work. i tried putting it in the pda slot, but before reason the first few times i tried it failed on the get go. reinstalled the drivers and then it worked like a charm.
Rodderik I'll give it one more try before I Pm you and thx for the reply guys
I've owned my SGII since release, went through a few roms, never had any issues. I have been running liquidsmooth for a month or two, without much issue. Although, lately stablity has dropped off a little. Nothing bad, just a freeze every few days and other minor hiccups.
Then something bad happened.... Last night I was using the phone and it turned off. Then it wouldn't boot. Battery pull, and rebooted but no joy. Then I booted to recovery (TWRP, but I'm not sure which version) and found that it said something along the lines of "E: could not mount /system", along with lots of other similar failure to mount messages. Oh well, I guess I'll just wipe it and flash something new. Any attempt to wipe would hang and then the phone would turn off after a few minutes.
Then I went to flash the stock setup from odin (using the howto from the dev section) , but it too would fail every time. I even tried different builds from samsung's official roms, but they all would fail to install on the phone. I read every thread I could find, and the next thing to try seemed to be an emergency recovery through Kies. That also failed, except it left my phone hard bricked. I can't get into download or anything, nothing shows in the device manager, just completely dead... I made a USB jig, but no luck there either.
I'm completely frustrated... I don't know what to do now... Buy a MB from ebay? The phone was flawless before all this. Any suggestions? I'm using a blackberry pearl for now, I can't let that happen.
Have you tried the Jig on another Samsung phone so you know the one you made physically works?
Some people have managed to get into DL Mode by pulling the battery, SIM, SD, etc. For 5 - 10 minutes then connecting it to the pc with Odin running b4 inserting the battery to enter DL Mode.
Otherwise mobiletechvideos has a really good reputation and turn around time for JTag service.
There is a chance its a hardware problem, and hopefully another member on here can shed some light on the possibility of it being a HW issue or not..
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have another samsung phone to try the jig with, but I'll see if I can get a friend to let me hook up this crazy looking thing. I got the resistors set up to 299K, hoped that would be close enough, but perhaps not.
I tried that plug-first-battery-second trick to get into DL mode, but that's not working either.
I looked at the jtag service too, but my fear is that I have corrupted memory. In that case, I wouldn't get a refund if I still couldn't get to a fully healthy boot. It seems odd though... not like it's a common trend for this particular model (that I've seen).
Just seems so strange that it happened for no apparent reason... before it was hard bricked I was able to USB mount the internal storage and access and transfer almost all the contents, except for one folder. I wonder if that one part of the memory caused all the problems?
Again, thanks for the suggestions. I'll keep plugging away at anything that might help, and in the mean time I guess I'll keep my eyes out for broken phones or some way to salvage a board.
If im not mistaken, a hard brick should show up in you device manager as the board itself when connected.
Does anything show in you device manager when its connected? And have you tried using a different PC which has never had Kies installed on it, where you just install the drivers for the T989?
Odin tends to fail at the modem or due to the presence of a .PIT
I got myself out of a brick which started over the a very similar issue, but due to a bad flash.
After 5 hrs of getting nowhere (I was using a Jig) I would get Odin to recognize the phone (My Screen was NOT displaying the DL Mode screen, It was going into DL Mode but other than Odin recognizing it, there were no signs of life!) after enought tries but flashing to stock would fail. I ended up taking a shot at flashing the stock kernel using 512.Pit from a T959, Reflashing the same Kernel, then flashing recovery. I don't advise anyone do this as that PIT file is NOT for a T989, and it may have been BS luck not the use of that PIT file that did the trick.
But I did get it back running %100
Good tips, thanks! Were you using the jig to get the phone into the black screen download mode?
I hadn't tried another PC, although I did make sure any Kies processes were disabled. I just tried another computer, but still nothing gets recognized. Oddly enough, not even the basic "hard brick" USB driver shows up in the device manager.
Thanks for the additional ideas.
This happen to me before, I just cleared cache and Davik then rebooted recovery then flashed another Rom.

Unfortunately for me, since data, cache, and system couldn't be mounted, I couldn't successfully clear them.

I would put the jig in with the battery and everything still removed, and alot of trial and error trying things like battery first then connecting the cable with Odin always being already running. Then doing the reverse, etc.
When I did get Odin to recognize the phone, one thing I learnt is when it would detect, it only ever happened after having killed and reopened Odin. I have no explanation on why using "End Task" after each attempt to connect and opening Odin again made a difference but it did.
Have you had a look at the QPST thread? I would ask one of the members contributing to it about why you would or would not see the board. And you could always try installing the boards drivers manually, or enable "Show hidden devices" in your device manager.....
Did you contact the guys at mobiletechvideos and explain the details?
You were able to boot to recovery, so it sounds partition related. But I would try just to flash the stock UVLH1 kernel and recovery with Odin vs full stock rom if you do get it to detect. And if it does detect with Odin eventually do not let it reboot or loose power. Just Kill Odin, unplug the cable if you need to, Start Odin again and reconnect the cable. Once in DL Mode it will stay in DL Mode as long as you have the reboot option in Odin unchecked, etc.
Also if you can get the battery charged fully somehow, your best shot is with a fully charged battery.

Hello.
I've tried to update from leak 4.1.2 to final version but bricked the phone. Everything went well until restart. Progress bar in recovery went to the end, odin told that it's finished and it restarts the headset (green square) but the phone did not started.
Battery is OK, the phone does not start in normal mode nor in recovery ( +vol- +home +power) however, when i try to run recovery and the USB cable is plugged, my PC says that new device is found ("u8500 usb rom")
Odin dont see the phone.
Is there something that may help?
EDIT: ok, I found that in most cases only sending the phone to retailer will help. Please, anyone know if after they reflash the board they will know that I flashed the phone in past? (flash counter was "2" )
Can u enter the download mode and try a reflash? I got the same Problem with my first ace 2. Under jellybean the touchscreen did not work anymore and gingerbread wasnt able to Boot (downgrading and upgrading With pit file worked a lot of times before). Then i tried „heimdall" (an alternative To Odin) and.... Totally bricked my phone... No download mode Or something and the phone wasnt able to turn on. But Samsung gave me a New phone and because the download mode didnt work they couldnt check the flash counter....

Found several methods to unbrick. Quite cheap (first 2 $ jig second 20$ jtag). My man at Samsung says that it is possible to read flash counter even at hard-brick state so Sammy service is a last resort
Will update if it works
They can check flash counter when phone is hard brick? Put cable from wall into ace 2 usb port - you burn it. Then they cant check.

Hi, I had also hard bricked my phone some weeks ago. You can read it here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39350626#post39350626
Now is my phone back, 100% working. I was very surprised, the flash counter was still saying "2". Probably, they have no time to check it. Or for service station is it OK to have more business. I did not pay any money.
Hello,
tonight I was out with my friends, and I was told to take pictures. When I did, I unlocked my phone and immediately got a "system.ui stopped working" error and then my phone froze. when it freezes i usually lock my phone and continue from there, but then it wouldn't turn back on, so I took the battery out, and put it back in, and now it won't turn back on! I've taken the battery and SIM out, held the power but to drain power from the phone, but nothing happened. so when I got home, I went to my PC and plugged the two in but my PC doesn't even recognize the phone! Although when i plug in the phone without a battery and try to power on, Windows repeatedly plays the device connected and disconnected sound, but windows explorer doesn't see it.
The phone will charge though, nothing says it does, but I put my tongue on the battery before and after leaving it on charge, and results were much different.
I've tried a ton of things to fix this, but nothing has worked. I really need help for this has many pictures, apps texts and contacts on the phone! If anyone might have a clue on how to fix this, please say so, I really need help!
Other info about phone:
Rooted
Unlocked
Running CM11 (latest stable build as of 14/11/14)
Stock Kernel
Always get "System.UI has Stopped" warning, but no issues until now
USB Charger does work properly
I will take any and all advice! It's really important this is fixed ASAP!
Thanks
Cole, or CyanoNexus
1. Try Odin3 & Download mode to get back to stock
2. Failing that, try http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-unbrick-guide-galaxy-nexus-maguro-t2146790

Thank you for the reply, but either method does not work. As I had said, my PC does not recognize it. Do you have anything else?
Bump? Sorry, really need help!
Bump again..
Dear all. I have a note II that has gone wild. The phone was working fine but then I received a note 4 and put the note 2 aside. Then I was trying to install root and was able to do so by installing TWRP V2.8.3 and everything went smooth and the phone was rooted. I then used the phone for a while but switched to the note 4 after. Now, 5 months after, I wanted to check something on my olde note II. I charged the phone and switched it on but it was stuck on the Galaxy note II screen I rebooted then rebooted but still the same. I went in the TWRP recovery to try to do something but I was not able to because it says that it cant mount storage, cant mount efs, cant mount data, cant mount cache and cant mount system.
Then I have decided to install the firmware image from zipped file but that did not work as it sees that the internal and external storags are 0 and cant mount them.
Then I opted to try and install the firmware PDA through Odin but that also did not work as Odin was not able to detect the phone. Now I'm clueless and not sure what to do the only thing I'm able to do is boot in TWRP recovery and that is all. Can any one help.
My phone had the latest official rom from samsung the 4.4.2
Please help
classic, just search. there is a thread with tutorial how to get your n2 back to life. you could also have sds, but try different odin and flash with pit
Ok now I'm in a worse situation. I have managed to get to the download mode and connected it to ODIN and tried to flash with the stock rom but at the end of the writing process it failed and started to get a message on the phone to connect my device to kies and try again. I tried that but did not do anything. Then I tried Odin again but this time I unticked the auto reboot. then clicked start. The same thing happened as before and writing failed now though my phone is blank it does not show anything and it does not want to turn on and no LED that is turning on nor the charging icon. I searched the net and someone suggested that the battery is damaged. I replaced the battery but still no go. Please I really need to get that phone back alive. I think I bricked it. any ideas or directions to help me with this annoying case. I cant even boot to recovery nor download please help

Odin dont detect Phone in Download mode, right?
So test another USB hub or an other or Official Samsung USB connector.. When nothing work try another PC and Flash the Firmware in PDA.

As I said when I remove the battery and insert it back the phone remains blank no response to any button pressed.
What I did is that my phone was stuck on opening screen samsung screen. Then someone suggested to flash it with the stock rom. So I went to Sammobile site and downloaded the latest firmware. I tried to install it to my phone using ODIN and just before the end. ODIN failed. I tried it the second time and the same happened. then the third time I read that I have to untick auto reboot. I did and tried ODIN for the 3rd time and on the third trial I got the same fail message and then I wanted to boot into download mode for the forth time but this time the phone went dead and not responding to any button press. I hope that this explains the situation

No worries bro. At least you are trying. I have never seen this before either and I'm stumped and where I'm I dont think I can find any samsung pro shop. All what they are going to say is the motherboard is dead and you need to change it. I do have another phone but I hate it when a devise does this to me
