Why on Earth were you flashing with the rear firm off? Maybe you must try a jig

That happened to me, too. Only sending to Samsung Support and get a new Mainboard had solved the problem...

while flashing does not galaxy use usb cable to increase battery?

wrong forum for this post too.. not having a good day huh?

I think he took off rear firm, it wasn't a battery discharge. Simply his battery went out to take a ride while flashing.

If you flashed the sbl, you can bring it back in download mode with button. Next time, post this in Q & A, this place is for developpement

Thanks, Yes the problem happened when I was flashing the SBL.
I posted this in the right forum, but how can I enter the download mode with button? note that I used android SDK and USB debugging mode to enter the download mode because the Sound UP + Home + Power on buttons combination did not work.
Many thanks

If the buttons didn't work you should have tried to fix that first rather than risk a brick, which you now have. Maybe you could try a jig to get into download mode? You can get them on ebay pretty cheaply.

When you boot your phone, do you have the phone to triangle to pc logo, or nothing ?

It's Sound DOWN + Power + Menu button for download mode.

Isn't it sound DOWN + Power + BACK button for download ?

To go in Download mode, press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power Button

Hard Bricked - can't get into download mode

I have a very serious problem. I've managed to brick my device. I decided I wanted to install CM 10.2 on my E988 (Taiwan version) but it didn't work. I rooted, installed freegee and also had cwm. I put the files on my sd card and then formated data, cache and dalvik cache. When I tried to install from sd card it said can't partition non-vfat. So i decided then that I would push the files using adb to my devices internal storage. I managed to do this but when I did it said installation aborted. It didn't have anything else in the log. At the moment I can access cwm but I can't seem to do anything with it. I can also charge my device but the charging image is missing.
When I try to access download mode it comes up with the factory hard reset screen which does nothing.I am at the moment downloading the stock image kdz file but I don't think I'll be able to do anything with it.
When I boot up my phone it still says that freegee is installed.
I got the CM rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439827
On that thread it says that you need to remove the first four lines of text in the updater-script file. However, in notepad, it depends on how big your window is to how much four lines of text is. Further into the thread, a user asked how much was actually meant to be removed and someone replied with all the way up to 'mount'.

Try, Remove battery and put again your device, hold Volume "-" and Home button and Power button, after display confirm put power button 3 time.

It's OK. It turns out that to get into download mode you don't have to press the power and volume buttons, you just have to press both the volume buttons and then plug in the USB

How to get there?
Power off phone
Hold power and volume down
when you feel vibration or see splash screen release power button but keep holding volume down.
Select menu items by volume down
Action your selection by power button
TIP, reboot phone is the last entry in the menu.
RECOVERY MODE
Is achieved by going into a bootloader mode.
this offers a menu with the following menu
Recovery
Fastboot
Normal
Image is fuzzy as its difficult to focus on it.
BEWARE font is tiny and difficult to read without magnify glass!
bootloader menu is about one nineth of the screen height
How to get there?
Power off phone
Hold the power and volume up
when you feel vibration release power button and continue to hold volume up
Select menu items by volume up
Action your selection by volume down
.....YES its not the same as Factory mode
more to follow later when I can take some decent screen shots
LONG PRESS POWER
You may be aware that while in either mode, long press the power button will for some options allow the phone go thru a reboot.
I just tested factory mode second last option, unfortunately it still treats the long press as
action current selection but then shutdowns and reboots
so don't try it on a factory reset unless thats what you want as you risk soft brick
good luck

Thank you for info, really nice!

I have added a long press power option to first post that might assist for some people. YMMV

Hello Guys,
I need help... I was mad because not been able to 1080p or 60fps playback on youtube. I decided to change the ro.build.version release from 4.4.4 to 5.. When I reboot the phone battery was on 1% (it was on 46% before) Then i used the backup of the build.prop and replaced it. Then i reboot the phone. The problem is that now i cannot turn it on. It stays loading with the Jiayu logo. Sorry for my bad english, i speak spanish.
Thank you

How to enter Recovery mode, with Verizon?

Can someone help me get into recovery mode on my Verizon G4? I want to clear the cache.
I have read to turn it off, then press & hold Power and Volume Down, until the LG logo appears. Then release only Power, then press & hold Power again, until the recovery screen appears. And I'd swear I'd gotten in this way on a previous Verizon G4.
But I can't get it to work on this phone. Either on software 610B, or having just upgraded to 611A. It either just boots up normally, or if I keep holding Power, it seems to just reboot again.
What am I doing wrong? Sorry for the basic question, but I've tried it a bunch of times, with no success.

It's probably the same as the g3. I would just hold volume down and power until the stock recovery popped up. Not letting off at all.

That did it, thank you! That was easy. And this was different than what I had read elsewhere.

I originally read the way you described first for my g3. So you can only go with the info given. I just happen to figure out just holding them works best. If you have root access just get quick boot from the play store. Makes it easy to get into custom recovery.

Zenfone 2 (Z00A) No bootloader + no OS + "Broadcast tv" loop

Hi Developers.
This is my first post but I've used this forum for many devices before.
This is what happened:
Atfer update to android 6.0.1 (M), I got some "bugs" (freeze) after I tried to root the device (using this method). I failed the first time I got a bootloader loop. I googled it and found this method (same commands but adding a "fastboot splashscreen.img"), then my phone just got a blank screen loop. My next step was the xFSTK method (this one). My phone booted "normally" and then I tried to update it to 6.0.1.
After that, my phone just got stuck in ASUS logo. I tried the xFSTK method and in the middle of the Flash Tool process, I interrupted it, because it was taking so long. I tried xFSTK process again but I got a "FW+iOS failed" and the attached screen loop (like a broadcast tv).
Please... Help.
(note: I don't speak/wrtie english very well. I hope you guys understood me)

Solved, thanks to sukhwant717 for his post
And his quote:
those who are not able to keep device connected. take care of few steps
1. in xFSTK option menu change the flag override value to 0x80000807 not 0x800000807 ( don't forget to click gp value over ride)
2. while connecting to xFSTK attach usb to computer. hold power button for 20 seconds to make sure it power downs completely. then hold the power button down and click power button. wait till device vibrate or computer makes detection sound. leave power button but keep holding the volume button for few seconds
