Bricked/dead SGS,

Hello guys, i have a problem with my sgs .. after downgrade from jv9 to froyo i've got my sgs bricked.. cannot enter do download mode by 3 button combo and by usb jiig is well ( jig is working, checked on sgs2) only thing happening is when i connect it by usb cable to my laptop i getting info the windows cannot find the driver for it and after few seconds is disconnecting.
Any ideas how to get it back to life ?
Thanx.
ps. sorry for my english. Cherrs

What happens when you turn it on normally?
At what screen does it stop?
Can you enter recovery mode?

its totally dead.

Remove the battery, wait a few minutes ( In fact, 30 sec should be alright ) the put it back. Press power button, if you see the phone -- triangle -- pc image, then just remove the battery again, put it back and plug your jig. If you see nothing i'm almost sure your screwed.

Steps:
First Remove your battery and wait 60 seconds
Then put the battery back in
There will be a small hole in the right side of the camera like a soft reset hole
take a paper clip
insert it in the hole and wait 25 seconds while pressing it in
then go into the download mode but the volume down +home button + power button
If the button method doesn't work try using the jig
Now it should work

Can you try running USBDeview from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html . You should see all your existing devices like mouse, keyboard etc. Then plug the phone in, and if it shows up in USBDeview tell me what it says in these columns for the phone device:
VendorID, ProductID, USB Class, USB SubClass
You may need a couple of tries to get all the numbers if it's disconnecting after a few seconds.
I'm interested because it could be the type of brick we are trying to fix in this thread where the bootloaders have been corrupted and it is going into processor recovery mode. We don't have a fix for you but if I'm right it will confirm that you need to get the phone reflashed by Samsung. Ask them how they do it while you're there.

hmm i cannot see any hole on the right side of the camera.. there is only connector looks like gps antenna.
i tried on 3 different batteries and i tried to take battery out for few minutes and still not work..

hmm so what if there is that bootloader fault?
this is o2 brand phone so do you think guys can i just go to o2 and say that stops working after kies upgrade or some rubbish like that ? do you think that will work ?

Just say to them i was updating my phones software via kies and my pc crashed because of some other application so it got interrupted in the half way now i can boot into my phone.

do you think they will accept it ? i mean .. if they will fix it and say this is my fault then i'll need to pay for this fix ?
anyone guys has experience with it ? how long it takes ?

Yes, they won't be able to tell what caused it, though your custom firmware could all reappear if they only reflash the bootloaders. But at least your phone will be fixed.

hmm ok but if they will know i had custom firmware they will charge me for repair ?
how log it normally takes ?
actually i was flashing the branded o2 froyo firmware while it happens.. but i got info from odin unsuccessfully flashed...

The brand market can see if u rooted the phone,
But i i also got this kind of brick, when i instaled a 9000m modem to my int i9000,
what i did i heated the phone, this is not a joke, a heated the phone used adb to enter download mode and i flashed stock 2.2 from samfirmware.com
The phone newer worked well so my provider changed the phone and didn't saw that i root it.
try adb and heating than the 3button combo.
good luck

Yep, that confirms that your initial bootloader is trashed and the CPU has gone into USB recovery mode because it couldn't load the bootloader. The only fix currently is to get Samsung to reflash it, or get someone with a Riffbox or other JTAG equipment to fix it. Heating the phone will not help you, neither will reinstalling Samsung phone USB drivers.

Well mate; if we are talking about the usual samsung galaxy s , when we open the lid there definitely is that small gutter with a hole in it . That little diaphragm can be pressed by a blunt pin.

Your provider should fix the phone no problem.

Changing the Region on the galaxy active 2 issue

Hello, I've recently tried changing the region on the galaxy active 2 via this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...MiN5CS86QmXpZW-MZ718kfZbI96QBVrg6ECIYESrQfhF8
and after step 9, my watch entered "Odin Mode" and I can't seem to turn him back on or get out of it.
https://imgur.com/HxAUwql - A photo of this mode.
If anyone know anything about it, please let me know. Thanks!

From your Photo...
You have SM-R820...
Result looks like you flashed wrong Firmware... maybe from SM-R830...
So Download wireless is dead/blocked... you need USB cable:

To leave Odin Mode aka Download Mode you can hold Power Key for few Seconds = Hardreset...

Bricked 55c6us after updates attempts

Hi guys, first of all I'm sorry if is there a threat about this already. I've looked around before I started this new one.
I was having problems with Netflix rebooting my TV in the last entire month, so I downloaded myself the update in tcl Brazil website, and flashed the latest version. The problems persist, so I contacted TCL support to start procedures to have my problems solved and maybe have my TV replaced once I have one year warranty. By email the support team gave me a link to download another version of the update firmware, claiming the one I got from their website was out of date. Well, I flashed the new firmware once, factory resetet again and problems kept coming!
then I cam here in the forum and found this link support.tclelectronics.com.au/software-version
from tcl Australia, so downloaded the indicated version to my TV model 55c6us and tryed to flash it.
Well, now I'm stuck in a black screen, with no tcl boot logo, no android logo, nothing... Ive turned off and on several times holding the power button, doing all the steps to flash from USB but can't reach any boot or recover screen!
Is there a way to flash using and male to male USB cable connected to my pc? if yes, please link me. Don't know what to do =(
Thanks a lot!

had the exact same problem when trying to update to the new version. did you figured it out?

atualization: seems like the usb 3.0 port, not the service usb port now is flashing(it changed), but seems like the android OS is being built in the pendrive, by mistake. unfortunatly in the service port the firmware is not recognized anymore, i think changing the firmwere messed with a lot of things. would love if someone could help me a little. thanks

update ' i have found that i can update with .pkg files and when i do try they kind of crash but always generate some android files inside the pendrive. now i could du it on the service usb, but without video. just realized too that the tv actually turns on and enters a menu with aprox 25 options. i can hear the scroll trough the options when pressing down on the remote. but no video at all.

update ' found that the menu was the fresh installation menu, choose language and etcetera.
could configure the tv. but NO IMAGE AT ALL.
i was able to send a youtube video to the tv, the audio worked perfectly. the backlight is lit but looks like the lcd is off.
just cant figure out what did happened with the image. even in a factory reset there is no image at all. tomorrow will try t do a shop reset as last resort. if someone could help me it would be very appreciated. thank you

[Need Help] Bricked Sony Bravia Android TV (KD-55X8000G)

Hi all,
I am having a problem with my Sony Bravia Android TV (Model: KD-55X8000G).
I updated the latest firmware (V6.6555) for Asia Pacific (I am from Singapore). Since then, the TV keep rebooting. So I tried factory reset multiple times but no success. Now the TV is just stuck in the Sony logo without any LED light.
I did some research and found that this symptom means the firmware was corrupted, which eventually led to my TV being bricked.
So how do I proceed in un-bricking it? Is it via the fastboot command via android SDK? How do I solve this rebooting / stuck issue?
Note that my model is out of warranty despite being 2019 model because this was a replacement TV for 800C model and followed the old warranty which expired on Dec.2019.
I checked with my local Sony services and the charges (including replacement of main board) will cost about SGD 600 to 800. So it is not worth the service; I can use this amount to get a new TV.
I find it a pity that the whole TV is redundant due to the main-board / firmware issues; the panel is still in good condition. So I am trying my best to look for solutions without having to seek the costly services from Sony Support.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, just download the latest firmware and install it (latest is 6.6.575) from here: https://www.sony-asia.com/electronics/support/televisions-projectors-lcd-tvs-android-/kd-55x8000g

Thanks for the info but I already did managed to solve the bricked issue with another method.
However, when I updated to 6.6.575. Many issues from the previous firmware still persist. TV will reboot randomly; some apps will crash randomly too.
Any idea to solve this issue?

how you solved the brick? I think you didn't solved it right when I read the issues you still have.

This is what I did after researching online:
1) You must first get a flashdrive / thumbdrive which must have minimal storage of 32GB and be formatted to FAT32.
2) Download the latest .pkg file from Sony support for your model.
3) Transfer the .pkg file to your thumbdrive.
4) You attempt a factory reset via power +vol down button. I am pretty sure that you know this method from Sony Support website.
5) If unsuccessful where you encounter the frozen screen, insert your thumbdrive while the TV is powered on.
6) After inserting thumbdrive, power off the TV by removing the power plug.
7) Attempt factory reset with the power + vol. down button again, and just let it run where it will show a white circle (may take up to an hour), this step is actually like a forced firmware update where the TV will factory reset and update from the .pkg file at the same time, hoping that it will re-flash / reformat your firmware properly, but if exceeds an hour, just power off and take out your thumbdrive.
8) Power on your TV again, and after a few minutes, it should be able to proceed to your welcome screen. but note that it will reboot again for second time, so don't enter any information for the first time.
9) For the second welcome screen, just ignore and skip all the settings until you come to the home screen.
10) At home screen, you just go setting and try to find the factory data reset and select that option.
11) After factory reset, just do all the settings shown in the welcome screen.
12) You are good to go.

but do note that I am still having random reboot after upgrading to the latest firmware.
When at previous firmware, I had random reboot, so I did factory reset many time but to no success. Keep factory resetting until it suddenly became bricked.
This explained why I was asking here for advice to solve the brick, but few days later I managed to research and came up with a method in attempt to bypass the bricked / freeze screen which was successful.
but now it is the random reboot which I am unable to figure out.

Do you have some Harddrives or some peripherals connected to TV? Have you done the step 10 in the guide you posted?
