So,after flashing android 4.2.2 on my galaxy grand duos i thought to switch back to my stock rom via odin. While the downloading procees of the stock rom i removed the battery. But when i turned it on, it showed a black screen (a little other colours in the centre). Is it hard bricked or what ? Will a usb jig for samsung galxy s2 work on it ? Or can i just get it repaired by th samsung service centre ? PLEASE HELP !

Interrupting an Odin flash by disconnecting the cable or by removing the battery can possibly lead to a hard brick. I guess its off to the Service Centre (if you're under warranty) or motherboard replacement (if you're device is no longer covered).
P.S. Don't mention words like 'flash' or 'brick' or 'Odin' at the Service Centre. Simply act dumb.
Hi, sorry for my bad english, I speak spanish, well, this is the situation:
I have a S4 Mini LTE, but the phone will not start. I tried to flash roms through ODIN, but always the ODIN gets stuck in "Initialization."
I've tried:
- Change cable, use another USB port and use another PC.
- I tried to use a PIT recovery partition or an original that I found, but the ODIN stucks.
- I used different versions of ODIN.
I searched other issues here in xda, but find no solution, only the phone enters Download mode.
PS: The phone does not turn the logo of "Samsung Galaxy" is displayed and no phone enters into recovery mode.
We would really appreciate your help in what they can contribute. A hug for everyone.
I have the exact same story with my S3 SPH-L710, and no good ideas from anyone. Sorry no help, but at least you know you're not the only one.!
Hi there!
Did you found an solution for the " stuck at initialization" problem? I have the exact same issue with odin. I got always stuck at this point no matter which odin version i use...Have a GT-I9195-LTE and it died two weeks ago. I only can boot into download modus, but from there nothing works.
Same here. Samsung support says my Display is broken an it will cost 159 EUR to repair it... I think/hope it's a software problem. So I tried to install a new firmware but got stucked at initialization, too. Still nobody with a solution?

does Odin show a port number? If not then it's probably not finding phone due to drivers.
If it is finding phone ok sometimes usb can get locked, you can "reset" usb by taking battery out and it will hopefully pass initialise.
Hey! Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately Odin shows a port number and I restarted the phone and the computer several times. I also removed the battery from the phone for some days.
I have the same problem. Has somebody found a solution to this already?
Same here. Exact same problem as alexlalejandro .
@ alexlalejandro did you find the pit file for i9195 LTE 8 GB ?
If you have can you show me where please?
I think my phone is really dead

Hi everyone. Yesterday i tried to change the region of my Galaxy Watch 46mm like written here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/changing-region-galaxy-active-2-t3983895
While i was downloading the firmware to the watch i had a blackout at my PC. Sice then my watch crashed.
I just see the the picture below.
Can anyone help me to recover it by myself?
Thanks alot
Seems you have LOW chance to repair without USB cable...
Check all optins in Reboot menu...
But on your Photo all "evidence" for damaged Download Wireless...
Evidence A
Reactivation Lock is ON
Evidence B
Look in the line AP SWREV... all are 0
But this is not normal as we have Software Revision 1...
Normally B:1
Here is Video how USB cable work:

Best Regards
Rebootmenu is not Accesible. Ist just this screen on the photo i can see.
I've ordered the mentioned Dockingstation and give it a try, thank you!
Thank you very much @adfree
It worked with the usb method.
Got it fixed right now, next step i'll try to change firmware again.

Hello! Warning post for those who has r820 manufactured in august 2021 with stock firmware R820XXU1DUE3 tizen 5.5.0.2 Have two r820 watches. First one after flashing with netodin to tizen 4 firmware became very strange brick - screen all black, no image at all, short vibrating when long press power button. Managed to blindly enter wireless odin mode and successfully unbricked it with flashing to 5.5.0.2 R820XXU1DUA3. The second one was flashed to combination COMBINATION-FT55_R820XXU1ATJ1 and has the same brick (black screen, vibrating on power button). But sadly i cannot enter it to wireless mode blindly by now. Any solutions please? Can we flash watch with cable and test points WITHOUT entering Wired Odin mode on the watch? Help please!

Watch is working, screen just doesn't show image. So you can try to enter "download wireless" mode blindly like you did it before no image. If you have combination then this mode is 5th line in menu. If you have stock this line is 3rd in the menu
Note that if you flashed tizen 4 over tizen 5 your wifi could be disabled and the only way to unbrick is to sold usb cable to pinouts on the main board and flash via regular odin mode.
Does COMBINATION-FT55_R820XXU1AUE1 this firmware really work on august 2021 watches ?
I have already bricked my new watch and applied for replacement. iam afraid to try it so if you have that combination firmware, please share it.
Pls help to solve the issue... I tried many times to enter download wireless mode... But i couldn't...
Pls some one help me

Hello, I have same problem after trying change region on R820 (august 2021 too) by downgrading tizen to 4 from stock
R820XXU1EUK2
Without picture on display I updated to COMBINATION-FT55_R820XXU1ATJ1 by Wireless Download with no effect, but after that I can't find Wireless Download mode and R820 Wif AP.
Now I connected with USB and Odin3 (latest 3.14.4) and blindly found 2 usb modes, in one of them trying flash
R820XXU1DUA3 (and any other)
It stuck on "Set Partition"
Changing Odin3 version to previous 3.13 gives no effect.
Now I haven't any ideas...
UPD. Solved by using short USB cable...
UPD2. COMBINATION-FT55_R820XXU1ATK1 breaks display too, do not use it

Hi!
I did the same mistake and my watch is behaving the same as mentioned in the first post.
Please help me how can I go back to download mode blindly.
I am trying to get back to download mode since yesterday but no luck.
When I long press the power button, it vibrates and then after pressing multiple times trying to go into download mode.
Please help
Thanks @fenderstrc for confirming that the combination file: COMBINATION-FT55_R820XXU1AUE1 works. I managed to install it on my August manufactured GW Active2. After changing the CSC to BTU, I installed DUA3 firmware successfully without any issues. I did not get ECG and BP(anyway can be installed via Dante's techniques) but managed to get Samsung Pay which I really wanted. Still haven't got the latest EUK2 ota update though
Update: I managed to get the OTA to work by changing the region to XAR. Funny enough, after changing to XAR I got ECG,BP and Samsung Pay without any issues or mods

Thank you fenderstrc for the info. COMBINATION-FT55_R820XXU1ATK1 and no screen. Sorry for bothering, but I am trying to fix it, but no success. How can I tell if the watch is turned on or off? Does it matter if I want to enter Reboot mode? Do I need to press both buttons to enter Reboot Mode as in the video? If it shortly vibrates, does it mean it is restarting? How long should I wait before I press the power button 5 time to enter Download wireless mode? After long pressing to select Download wireless mode, should I press the power button twice to enter AP mode as in the video?
Can you please help me with these? Maybe upload a video with these stepes with the watch screen on?
Thank you,
Joseph
