for some reason i went to reboot my phone and it wontboot just hangs.. can boot to recovery and do a factory reset.. but still wont boot.
cannot boot to download mode with vol up keypad and power.. just continually reboots to the samsung white message and starts over.. any suggestions or should i just send it back?
got it working whey.. it wouldnt boot up to recovery.. got it to goto recovery during a boot loop by plugging in usb.. i think.. the only think i can think is that earlier today i replace the mms.apk and mms.odex with an earlier version from jf3.. didnt like that at all. but i didnt reboot till later.. this was to try and work around the messaging bug in jg1.. .since i had to reinstall i am happy to report as previously reported that the the csc from jff messaging works fine the the modem and core files from jg1.. (that is what i reflashed it too..)
[Q] Help! Think I bricked my phone!!
Flashed to WJG1
Started Odin,it started to do its thing.halfway through I got the USB disconnect sound.Odin stopped , I now have a green screen
And u cant boot it to either restore or download mode?

Remove battery! put it in again!
Start in download mode! (volume down+home+power)
and reflash!
Keeps on happening.Have tried WJG1 and WJG5.With WJG5 I thought it was going to work.Got 3/4 of the way then it disconnected.

Did you use the other 512.pit file? and did you check re-partition?
Make some screenshots!
Yes to both
Did you install the latest version of Kies? (just for the driver?)
And did you close kies before you started flashing?
I think its worked.
YESSSSS
Im on WJG5 ....shall I just leave it on that. I thought I would roll back to JG1 with r2, as I was having problems with it forever scanning the SD Card, and with MTP mode keep on flashing ...initializing.
Which it is doing right now
I have the latest version of Kies installed...and I never open it.
Edit: SHOULD I be able to roll back to an earlier firmware?

As far as i know you can flash whatever firmware you would like! the best option right now is to use JG5!
Correct me if i'm wrong!
Are you on WJG5?
Do you have any problems?
The MTP constantly initializing (Not sure thats a real problem as I turn it off and use mass storage, but it should work so I want it to)
The constant Media Scanning.
Doesnt feel particularly quick.
And with WJG1+r2 I could run scripts for lag and market and it was pretty quick.
Can I run the scripts with WJG5?? r2 made it nice and easy.

Yes i am on WJG5! you can root it and you can use the lagfix!
I am currently using it without the lagfix and it works great! no blackscreens whatsoever!
Question! did you remove the simcard and sd card when you where flashing with odin?
It shouldn't be scanning for media all the time! don't know whats wrong!
Yes I did.
Following a tutorial which says to uninstall Market from Applications.When I go to Applications(clicking Fliter>All) and bringing up Market there is no option to delete
Here mate, have a look at some suggestions.
And some other quick - you should have run kies before the flashing, so it would install all the drivers, it might be your problem.
Maybe a moderator can pin this, ot some other inbricking topic/guide?
Link to tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725858
Yeah but I have flashed it about half a dozen times previous with no problems.
Well, I dont know what happened, but after setting up my phone pretty much as it was before I thought "I didnt do a factory reset after flashing the rom", so I did so.Rebooted,went to Market and all apps are showing
What does a factory format do??
I thought it would wipe everything off the phone?
After doing one on my newly flashed SGS, I had a look at the SD card and all the folders of games/programs were still there.
i was afraid too when i flashed with the latest firmware last week
odin did nothing, so after 10 mins i remove the usb cable and put it again
then restart computer and put the usb cable ... but the computer didn't see the phone
i turn off the phone, it turn on automaticaly with a nice logo with a phone and a computer... like the phone wana tell me : "You dumb idiot, you bricked me"
I was near to be killed (its my wifes mobile, not mine) but then i tried to return into download mode and it worked and lucky the computer saw the phone
ps: i did this night, when my wife was asleep, so she didn't noticed, but if she noticed or if it was bricked ... well i guess she would kicked my ass and i would be 500box poorer
Hi there,
I noticed I can't get in download mode anymore. Whatever I try it won't show the yellow triangular download sign. It just boots into cyanogen.
I have tried the 3 button trick but recovery nor download works. That's when I had the idea to apply the 3-button fix. adb reboot recovery brings me in the cwm recovery mode. adb reboot download just reboots the phone. I even tried the 300k ohm jig which always seemed to work as a failsafe. That also just boots the phone into cm.
I have checked with my brother who also runs CM nightly 101 and for him the download mode works fine so it is my phone, not CM.
The phone works fine now, is rooted too so I wondered if there's any way to fix this by rewriting the bootloaders. I want to have this fixed as a failsafe is flashing ever fails or if one of the nightlies gets corrupted.
Is there anyone who can confirm the download mode is in the primary bootloader (boot.bin from a stock rom) and is it safe to just flash_image that to the boot partition or will that be a guarantee to brick. The idea is that I still have root console access so I have to fix it from there.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Tried the tricks with and without pc-usb/charger and it made no difference. The 300k ohm jig trick can't be done with power or computer connected since you have to use the usb connection on the phone for it. It usually was my ever working failsafe.
I also tried the quickboot app without any luck. It seems it is responding to the download command but the code isn't there anymore.
Hey try going into download mode by touch controls although I haven't ever used cyanogen but i assume as every custom rom has this feature cyanogen must also have this! The download mode option in quick network options when u press the power button for 2 seconds ! Although it isn't safe but you cab try this and then if it goes into download mode then their must a way to go into download mode manually!

Holding the power button for two seconds indeed brings up the profile/reboot/shutdown options. Selecting reboot only gives two additional options, reboot and recovery which do as they say. I can boot cwm recovery but from there I can't go into download mode either.
Try downloading terminal emulator and then reboot download or ADB reboot download

Tried it from the terminal with reboot download. Also tried adb reboot download long before that. It just reboots and starts. I have the feeling the piece of bootblock that's holding the download mode isn't there anymore.
There is an option in recovery to boot into download mode, Have you tried that ?
It sounds to me like that part of the bootloader is corrupt / missing.
Does the phone still work normally ? can you still continue to use it daily without the download mode option ?

The phone works fine otherwise. I just want to fix this before it stops working fine and I need the download mode.
Recovery boots into CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5 which I got with CM7 with no option to return to the stock recovery or download mode as far as I can see. Also zipped updates from sd-card install fine from CWM recovery mode. If I just knew where to find a cwm ready zipped bootloader that will fix this.

Thats a good idea, I think that should be made, Would save a lot of hassle...
In my recovery under 'advanced features' the option is there to reboot into android or reboot into download..
In order to go from CM7 - Stock, do you need re-partition with all 3 files ? or can you flash it through recovery ?
If so, flash it to stock and sell it to someone who has no idea about Custom ROMs / Hacking. (like me 12 months ago )
EDIT: is this issue not kernel related by any chance ?

Well I have no clue to make any package and I don't dare to flash_image some random boot.bin.
My recovery -> advanced only has reboot recovery which brings it back into recovery.
I'm afraid bringing it back to stock also needs odin/heimdall, that brings me back to the initial problem.
Selling it gives me the money for half a new phone. As long as its working fine I'd like to stick with it. My worst case scenario so far is that I'm stuck with CM7 nightly #101 for the coming 1.5 year which is annoying but far better than the slow stock samsung hands out.
The issue can't be directly kernel or CM7 related. My brother has CM7 #101 running and download mode works fine with him. (And no I can't secretly swap phones ) He doesn't know how to work with odin so I arranged everything for him. Exactly the same steps as I did my own phone. Perhaps a glitch in flashing or something.

Hmmm... tricky one to fix..
I have no more ideas i think flashing bootloaders through recovery would work like you said, But unless its a tried and tested method i wouldnt recommend it at all.
Have you posted this issue in the CM thread ? perhaps you could PM one of the Devs for assistance, or whether the whole 'flashing bootloader in recovery' idea would work at all.
You have nothing to lose by asking them.
Hope you get a solution... But until them im out of ideas.
Keep us updated if you get a fix.
Good luck man !!
EDIT: one more idea, Sounds risky but.... What if you made a nandroid backup on your brothers phone and restore it on yours ?? Thats if nandroid does back up bootloaders im not sure

Thanks for thinking with me. I'll give the nandroid solution a go if there are no other replies within a reasonable time.
I'll post the same question in the CM forum but contacting the CM devs could be hard. They don't give any official support to nightlies and I can't say I'm convinced it has anything to do with CM at all. Though they do have the knowledge to answer the question or build a package to repair it. But you're right there's nothing to lose in asking.
Ofcourse I searched the forum before posting and found out I seem to be the only one ever with this problem. The solution could be as rare so I'll keep you posted if I make any progress beside here. That's what the whole idea behind this forum is for right?
True man !!
And if you get a solution or a dev to make a flashable bootloader. It could help other people in future
Good luck. Keep us posted

Interesting but that project still needs a bricked i9000 to tear apart. I don't have a captivate. Well if it ever becomes really bricked I'll consider donating mine.
And I'm okay with handling computers (yes I consider the phone a small computer about 400 times faster than my first pc) but when actual soldering is involved I give up.
fixable?

Hi! If it still doesn't work, try downloading ROM Manager from the market and install the latest CWM. It sounds like your bootloader got modified/locked.

BTW , same here
Dear All,
I need some help!
I had a weird issue with my tab over the weekend where it would boot to the upgrading dialog, but would only say application 1 of 1, rather than the usual 50+. This would run for hours, so I decided just to reflash the os again without a clean wipe. I imagine this may have been a bad idea. So, I went into CWM and went to flash again, but the tablet crashed just as it started the flashing process, which was bad enough. However, when I went back into CWM, I remembered Nandroid backup and I hoped I had made one! However, rather than hit recover, I selected store (clicked without thinking), which was the cherry on the top of my day of major you-know-whats.
So, the .zip (I think it is v10.1) appears to be corrupt, so I can't flash my original again.
I can't boot the OS to transfer over a new .zip (10.2 would be nice) as I normally would, as I can't start Android at all.
Putting the files on a FAT-formatted USB key isn't recognised by CWM. Trying to mount usb storage gave an error regarding lun path.
So, my questions are:
1) Is there a way to transfer an image onto the internal storage of my tab via CWM, or get it to recognise the USB storage?
2) What are my other options, if 1) isn't possible.
3) If 2) is answered in the negative, have I just made myself a fancy coaster and a good excuse to get a LG G-Pad?
Thanks for your help!
If you can boot to download mode you can use ODIN to flash a rom.

Hi upconvert,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I can get to download mode and I did try to flash a stock ROM from a hotfiles link provided elsewhere on this site last night. However, at NAND Write Start I get three errors on my tablet: WritePartition, DownloadPartition_odin, and Tegra_Nand_Write. I'm not sure what they mean (google didn't reveal any added info). I'm assuming it means the flash storage is either write-protected or can't be found?
I'm going to try and download the ROM again in case it was corrupted somehow. I will retry in the meantime but after I've wiped it again. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
Ok, I was able to wipe /data, but it seems to be hanging when trying to wipe /cache. I'd expect it to be finishing in a few seconds, but this is going for minutes.

Have you tried to format your sdcard from CWM?, cuz formatting it might let the nand write errors disappear
I didn't follow everything you said so I don't know if you've tried the adb files push through USB or not
so if computer can recognise your device through adb try this METHOD
Oh and by the way, SAMMobile website has a new mirror website, so now you can download Odin tar files again
Directly Here is the latest FW for P7300 , and if you're more comfortable with dev-host mirror than Here you go (the two files are the same latest release)
and Here is the the latest FW for P7310, I don't have any other mirrors for that
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I can't even get access to CWM anymore. Goes straight to Odin download mode after the Samsung splash screen. Unfortunately, I found another post on XDA that seems to explain my problem:

Hi so I was trying to use CF to root my phone and ended up screwing it somehow and bricked. I thought I'd followed the instructions well enough but I obviously did something wrong. Now my phone is stuck saying it needs to recover with Kies. This is my first Samsung phone but I'm not new to Android.
I tried installing the stock firmware through ODIN but everytime I flash it gets to installing the system ext4 and fails. I also wasn't able to recover using Kies(not even sure how you use it tbh).
If anyone could help me it would be mucho appreciated. I'm pretty pissed at myself right now.

Your phone is NOT bricked. If it was the screen would not even go on.
Have you tried going into recovery mode (VolumeUP/VolDown/PowerButton)
and once in Recovery Mode do a factory reset or Data Reset forgot what the
exact wording is in the stock recovery.
If you flashed twrp recovery it's ok too, just select "factory reset".
After doing that the phone should no longer display anything about Kies.
If you get to the twrp recovery screen you should be able to flash a stock
rooted rom without any issues.
If all you get is the stock recovery screen then you should be able to odin
flash the official Samsung Note 4 kitkat 4.4.4 NJ7 firmware which you may
need to download the firmware from http://SamMobile.com if you don't
already have it. (be sure you have the correct firmware for the Note 4 N910T).
Be 100% sure that the phone is FULLY POWERED DOWN before going
into Download Mode to avoid odin errors and issues.
Good luck!
Thanks man. I had tried Odin at my office and nothing doing.
Got home took my time and was real calm about things and voila. May have been an md5 issue with the firmware file. Just relieved I didn't have to RMA it.

Can you check for the file with md5 before you flash from your phone? I forgot where to dig for this info.
All I I have done before is on my cook rom file, I just open it with WinRAR and test for error. If no error, then its good.
On my Home PC I have a program that will put a check mark next to a file if it matches the md5. I also have Winrar at home.
I was just using the default Windows zip program and I have had problems with that and installers/roms in the past.
The only other things I did different were I removed the SD card and installed the drivers before plugging my phone in instead of letting Windows download them automatically.
I also removed the battery after I left work so it was out of the phone for a couple of hours.
The final thing I did was calm down lol after the initial shock of seeing a softbricked screen on my brand new phone.
I'm all rooted now with TWRP and running Hyperdrive so it's all smooth sailing from this point forward.
You should check md5 on phone once you done transferred to phone from PC

The imaged you linked is considered a download mode, you should be able to flash from it.
That being said, the error you got often means your internal memory is dead. Which also means that you can't get what was on it (Think of it as a hard drive that just died). Your best bet after trying to flash stock would be to partition an SD card and run from it (there's a guide on how to do it on here).

Try reinstalling your drivers to get your phone connected.
But I'm pretty sure you'll have to partition an SD card. Your internal memory sounds dead.
Amazing Reply! but Still need help

You gotta do some basic research. Here's the stock ROM (without bootloaders): http://www.mediafire.com/download/w..., NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip
Just loat it up on Odin and flash away. You can't get in recovery cause your phone can't load anything atm, it needs a clean flash. Just make sure nothing interrupts Odin while it's flashing.
Almost Done

You can give Heimdall a shot (note that it will install its own drivers on the usb port you'll use it on so Odin won't work on it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5..., NO Bootloaders, Wipe-Heimdall One-Click.zip
If that doesn't work, I can say at like 95% that your internal memory is dead and you'll have to partition an SD card if you wanna get it running. There are guides on how to do it on here.
I've seen that image often. Uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for Samsung helped me. Flashing a captivate can be a little convoluted granted all the different methods of acquiring root and flashing a rom that's been used through the years ... and subsequently posted somewhere on the internet. I'd suggest the following .... once your device is recognized in Odin.
1. Flash I897UCKK4 with Odin (no root) for gingerbread stock rom
2. Download and install KK4root. Run Kk4 root "run" exe in the kk4_root folder. Corn kernel is installed with modded recovery system
3. From Corn kernel recovery click "root extras" to get su and busy box installed
