Help please! I think I bricked my Galaxy W

Okay, here's what I did.
1. I flashed latest latest miui 4.1.17 - OK booted, no problem
2. After installing/restoring apps then reboot, internal sd card is not mounted
3. So I search the net how to mount the internal storage, and I saw this
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-when-you-internal-8g-sdcard-not-mounted.html
4. Unfortunately I was a bit sleepy and didnt read the whole page and just follow the instructions
which is to input via terminal emulator: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0
5. Then rebooted my phone, and then it didnt boot. Its all black now. Cant enter download or recovery modes.
Help please...I think Im gonna die :crying:

Damn, don't die dude it's just a phone. Life's worth is a hell more than that. Anyway, since you can't enter download and recovery mode, idk how to help you. Maybe you can ask @arsradu or go to the nearest service center.

if your phone does not boot even in download or recovery mode , and when you plug it to pc via usb and the pc can't reconize it and show something like i think "QHSUSB_DLOAD..." , then your phone boot partition is broken , it happened to me once and i think most of the members here at least once so don't worry , your phone is not dead yet and all you need is a "J_TAG" not "JIG", i think some members here have this special cable , i solved my problem in a repair shop using this cable, at least you know now where to begin search , good luck

Yes, I did experience that "QHSUSB_DLOAD" when i plugged my phone and I can hear a sound that it has connected but no luck on odin. I have a usb jig and it didn't work. I searched the net and the only way to solve is by a JTAG RIFF BOX, and was surprised of how much one costs. Anyway, I visited a shop that has that jtag and they said they can solve it for 30+ bucks. I hope to revive my phone soon.

[Q] Booting problem

hi. I encountered a problem on my phone that doesn't boot properly.
When i tried to switch on my phone it showed at first the welcome msg "Samsung S4 mini gt-i9192" then after that, a pitch black screen, could not properly boot. But i learn that it does not turns off after the screen turns all black, i have to press the power button first to turn off the phone.
This problem started when i installed an app with some compatibility problems.
I wanted to root my phone hoping that can solve the problem, but then again a problem occurred when i tried to connect my phone to my laptop. It fails to install MTP usb device to my computer. I tried connecting it again provided that samsung kies was installed but again failed to connect my phone. Therefore i cant root my phone because i cant copy the files needed to root to my phone sd card.
I tried reinstalling kies, installing mtp drivers but nothing happened. I tried also restoring the previous boot image, restoring factory settings using recovery mode. But then problem still exist.
And fyi my phone can't mount any external sd card using recovery mode. And i think it was not in a debugging mode.
Phone: samsung s4 mini gt-i9192
firmware: i dont know
So basically, the problem is:
my phone wont boot,
i cant connect it to my pc
and i cant root it.
How should i root or even flash my phone when i cant connect to my computer? Do you have any idea on how to solve this problem? Any solutions or suggestions would be much appreciated. tnx.

Have you tried putting the phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) and then connecting it your p,c , if not give this a shot it should pick up the drivers , once done , take out the usb cable hold the power the button to shut down and boot up .
since you have not mentioned your OS am assuming it is windows , try taking out Kies via some software like revo uninstaller which will remove all directories plus all registry entires then reinstall it if you really need it.

dial *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.

yah, thats what im thinking. i just brought this here hoping to solve this problem without going to a shop. thanks anyway.

aac. To me put your phone in download mode then use moborobo(a windows software) . Just open it and it will install the driver. If it dies not work then use adb installer . Remember you should have only any one of the software at one tim means either moborobo or kies or adb installer
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

btw have you tried to boot the phone in safe mode ?? if it boots in safe mode it is still fixable without going to service center. power down , power up+ tap the menu button 3 or 4 times at THE same time to boot into safe mode if it boots into safe mode that means the hardware and OS is fine if it does not well then your out of luck.

go into bootloader, use fastboot.exe to command "fastboot erase cache" without quotes.

What did you do? You tried to flash something through tethered recovery?

You can try to press and hold power to turn off the phone.
Then press power and volume up, when there is vibrate, release the power, hold the volume up till you see asus logo. Wait and you are in fast boot. press down and choose recovery.
when you see the dead android and !, press power and volume up then quickly release them both. Now you can wipe cache.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I had tried everything.. but the dead Android with ERROR does not go away. I gave up and went to a handy shop to see if they can restore the system. In the end there are many little things and tricks you need to knowI and if you have not the experience, maybe it is better to use a technician.
i let you guys know what they did.
Thanks again...
By the way... STAY AWAY from EGLOBAL CENTRAL. 3 days later and after emails, etc.. no reply what so ever... great customer service ( company in Honk Kong, phone from UK ( never answered ) and website for every nation...germany, Ausztria, etc.. but nobdy to talk to... )

I accidentally formatted bootloader, and now my device unable to detect,boot or anything. Is there anything I can do of ?

welp, i tried to install custom rom ( which need to download the rar and paste it into INTERNAL) but i accidentally paste it to my SD card. Then i start to install it.
Then i said it's uninstallable, I just restart my phone and everthing went normal buy my wallpaper screen turns black and unable to read it tho USB ( Just the standby screen shows wallpaper)
Then my brothers came out and said that all you need to do is format it again and reinstall. We tired countless times . But then it have another option which above Format everything but not bootloader and another is Format everything and bootloader.
Then my bro press it and ... It became bricked.
it's still warrantyable so .. I plan to play dumb to the warranty company if I can't fix it.
( even if i play dumb idk what reason I need to come off, if i say yesterday the battery from 70% drop to 0% then it unable to open again )
PS: before this happen my battery happens from 70% drop to 0%, after charged. it's fine
PPS: give me a good excuses to play dumb C::

Wait, wait. How did you format the bootloader? No recovery should have this option! The only possible option to hard brick the P8000 is to pull out the USB cable in the exact moment when the SPFlash Tool writes it. So, can you elaborate a bit more about what you've done? I'm pretty sure you're missing something.

Hi,
I did something similar with my HTC Desire 616. I choose "Format All + Download" option with SP Flash Tool. The phone soft bricked. Later I tried "format whole flash (including bootloader)". It's still soft bricked...
Is there a way to revive my phone back??? :crying:

I had the same problem - but it is possible to set the phone to a special bootloader mode called META mode - see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TmXtOA0IA
To do so you have to open the phone and disconnect the battery. You can find a howto easily on youtube.
Then set up everything to flash the phone (SP-Flashtool, scatter file, etc.) and push the volume down button while connecting the phone to the computer. This switches the phone to META mode, the computer can recognize the phone, installs the preloader driver and finally flashes the phone
Maybe you have to do the procedure twice because on the first connection only the preloader driver will be installed.
This worked for my P8000(B) which I treated with SP-Flash Tool and "Format All + download"
Be aware that you formatted the NVRAM and lost your IMEI's

Tecno spark 3 pro clone flash file mt6570 android 9.0 firmware
Hi
I need your assistance, please help me find the firmware for the above phone. I recently tried to flash it with a Spark 3 clone firmware i got online but it gives an error STATUS_PARTITION_NOT_FOUND and also i accidentally formatted the bootloader on SP Flash Tool so the phone is a brick, it can't charge, and it can't turn on. I have screenshots of the About section when the phone was working, which contains the phone's features model and build but on opening the back cover of the device, i realized its a clone phone and i cannot determine its real model to get the exact right flash file.
Thanks

Question How to fix Poco F3 stuck in Fastboot?

I recently installed ArrowOS to my F3 and everything went well. Then I tried returning back to MIUI, flashing it through recovery didn't work so I used the MiFlash tool. Unfortunately I accidentally chose the Erase all and lock option but I exited the application halfway. Now my phone is stuck in fastboot and doesn't turn off, holding down the power button only resets and returns to fastboot. I tried reflashing MIUI both in fastboot and Miflash but both failed. I also checked if my phone was still unlock through MiUNlock and said it was unlocked, though the unlock icon isn't present when the phone is resetted. Is there a way to fix my issue, I'm really concerned if this will permanently break my device and possibly burin in the fastboot logo on my display. Any bit of advice and help is appreciated.

Lol , help you how?
Guess what's wrong ?
What error? Post everything first
Your phone is not locked if you removed it before end

Its just stuck in this step in both keep data and wipe all data.

Looks like usb cable contact issue to me , could even be locked if your halfway is 10min into flash or something... It also happens when you flash consecutively without rebooting
Check pc usb port , plug into usb 2.0 port
Check cable , use original cable
Reboot phone before every flash attempt
If one firmware doesn't work download and try another one ( Only if it spits out crc error : step 7/9 , any other error or lower step like 4/9 re insert usb cable into phone and don't touch it , the phone is losing contact ). Crc error is a real bich , you are on your own figuring that out , don't even bother with guides like removing crc check.
You are failing at the very first step , open mi flash logs from it's dropdown menu and either send screenshot or zip the whole folder and attach it here

1. Make sure ur device is unlocked bootloader
2. Download and extract this file https://t.me/PocoF3ID/494392
3. Double click hentai_go_away.bat it will help you out of fastboot and get you to twrp. From there u can install whatever rom u want.

Reboot phone by holding power button for 10-15seconds , hold power down as well , don't let it try booting up at all.
Your best bet is to boot it straight into fastboot , not let it fail the boot and enter fastboot by itself

Reboot phone , remove usb cable from phone , rotate it 180° and plug it in again. Don't touch the phone at all after that. Move away from pc table , click start and watch it from distance.
Fastboot commands are not going through correctly from what I've seen in the logs of one folder.
Send screenshot if it errors out again, and logs...
Honestly idk what to tell you , bring the phone under light and inspect the usb port, same with pc port and cable , if all is good keep rebooting the phone and plugging in the cable in and put after every flash.
I had the same issue before , my usb port had water dmg and would act the same way. Flashing fine one time , and other time erroring out in many different ways.

That's not the log file for error above... But I found similar one in folders above.
Clean the ports before you sleep... Power off everyrhing , phone pc , remove usb cable from charger and clean them all with cotton - if you have 97℅ or higher alchohol you can soak the cotton in it and clean the ports.
If not just send it back to service... They will prolly replace your motherboard if the flashing fails on their end as well , usb port will only be replaces at the very end of their troubleshooting.
