[Q] Phone is a brick after deleting framework-res, help?

K so like an idiot i deleted framework-res, and now my phone turns on to a black screen. I've tried to reflash it with odin and odin 1 click, but it always gets stuck at "file analysis". I don't get why because I used odin 1 click to install froyo in the first place so I know it works.
Anyway, I have no idea what to do, as I can't get any files on or off my phone because ADP will always say the device is not connected.

if its stuck at file analysis keep fiddling until it goes past that for instance plug in into download mode with it open and then unplug and replug it in. just keep trying.

i've been trying for hours... rebooting.. reinstalling.. everything. it won't get past File Analysis...

Are you trying to use the odin 1click to flash back to jf6? That might work.

nope, still hangs at File Analysis

i have done the same and now back up i used an old odin to go back to original stock and then updated to froyo after. If you can use sdk adb reboot recovery and fromat your sd card then try odin again this worked for me

maybe try restarting computer. make sure you dont have anything adb related running. pull battery. start odin one click. put battery back in. hold vol-up and down at same time(just the vol. buttons no power) plug in usb from comp. to your phone while you still have the vol. buttons held. should be in download mode. click start.
and if you wanna try pushing a new framework, i guess you could try to boot into recovery and adb should see it then as debugging mode is auto on in recovery mode. let us know.

Are you using 64 bit Windows 7? I am and had a similar problem. On my original attempts to flash my phone with earlier versions of Cognition, I learned that if you don't disable the lagfix, you can have a problem. Assuming you used one I hope you disabled it. I also used odin 1-click at the time and it didn't work terribly well, mostly due to the voodoo lagfix ext4 filesystem.
Secondly, I've also found that it's best to go into download mode using the following method:
I do a battery pull, remove sim and sdcard (if you have one), put battery back in. Make sure your USB cable is plugged into a USB port on the motherboard, not one of those front USB ports (they sometimes don't get enough juice, you wouldn't want the device to disconnect in the middle of a flash). Hold volume up/down and plug in the USB cable. Odin one click should recognize the phone is hooked up to a COM port. At that point, you click the start button and it flashes. It should not take more than 1-2 minutes to flash. If Odin looks like it it is not working, rather it sits at Verifying or does not actually move at a brisk pace, it's not going to work. You can let it sit for hours and it will never flash. If this happens, do the battery pull and try again. My first time doing this was rather nerve wracking as i thought i bricked my phone. Had the screen with the phone/exclamation mark/computer and the computer did not detect my phone via USB. I've seen people who say reinstalling the Samsung drivers or rebooting the computer or switching USB ports might help as well.
Ever since i figured out the above, i've been able to flash my Captivate on Win 7 64bit without a hitch. Currently running the latest build of Cognition 2.2 and loving it.

I've done all of the above and Odin hangs on Verifying, ADB gives the same error message on every "ADB" command : "error: device offline: (while in recovery mode)
My computer/Odin does recognize that it's plugged in, but it won't mount and let me into the SD card or format it, etc.

You should post what you did to fix it in case someone has the same issue
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Yes he should.

What did you do to fix it? Do tell.

10 bucks says he succeeded once he read the directions properly.
Reading is hard, that is why so few people do it.

Same exact thing happened to to me 2 days ago. All I did was:
1)take the battery and SIM card out, wait a few seconds,
2)run Odin3 on my PC and hookup the USB cable to the phone while still off
3) hold both Volume buttons down while phone is off and connected
3)at the same time, slide in the battery with 1 finger or have someone do it
4)keep volume keys held down as the battery is installed and my phone turned on straight into download mode
5) phone pops up in Odin3 and just click Start, flashed to stock JH6
I am 80% sure I wasn't holding the power button while holding the Vol keys. If that doesn't work above ^^^ hold all 3 buttons and it should go into download mode.

so.. I fubard framework.apk trying to get teh circle battery mod on my phone (it just hung forever and *poof* black screen o' nothing after I pulled the battery)
So.. I'm following the directions but windows keeps finding the phone as some type of crazy serial device and is asking for drivers ... so I'm fux0red methinks.
Any help is appreciated - but I think I did a real number on this thing.

Ok... these are the steps I've done.
Shutdown the device.
Pulled battery, Sim, SD Card.
Popped the battery back in.... didn't power it up.
Turned on Odin3
Popped the USB cable into the phone while holding both volume buttons.
I get the lil triangle.
... then I get a windows message stating "SERIAL GADGET" and the XP wizard comes up looking for drivers. It doesnt find anything of course.
So.. I rinse and repeat and it can't find the device.
So what am I missing o wise XDA folks?

Have you searched for the drivers and installed them on your xp machine?
I'm still a noob so I'm not sure of it will help.
Please though, once you get it sorted please post your solution here for the benefit of those whip comer after you.

Get the right drivers if you havent already and find the USB port that works. Post 8 above is very good. On my netbook, only one of the three usb ports works for the captivate, i've marked it since with a happy face.

Ok.. at home now on my Win7 machine - all is good in Odin restore land...
Except - I flash using the Odin 1 Click and still boot to a black screen.
I think because I had the Voodoo lagfix on it - it won't format correctly and load the rest of the ROM onto the SDCard

[Q] Build 1012: Which ODIN to use?

I'm on a warranty exchanged 1012 build Captivate. I initially decided to go ahead and flash a new ROM to it, and proceeded to do so using Odin 1-click like I had done so many times in the past with my old 1008 build Captivate. Odin hung for quite some time, and I feared the USB cable I was using was faulty to a certain degree. No biggie, just restart the process and all would be good.
That wasn't the case here though. It simply doesn't boot anymore. I believe it to be a soft brick as there is an image available on the screen. It's the wretched cellphone --- computer screen. I attempted to reboot into download mode like I had done using the VOL+/VOL- and USB insert method, but all that appeared was this symbol. I was simply trying to restore to stock 2.1, as this Captivate came with stock 2.2.
I've even built a JIG, a couple actually, using varying resistors. The first JIG I built before attempting the ODIN flash that killed my phone. Prior to flashing ODIN, the JIG appeared to work brilliantly. It put my phone into download mode about two seconds after contact. Now all it does is bring up that damn cellphone --- computer screen.
What is strange is that the phone, when plugged into the computer after I attempt to put it into download mode using my JIG(s), the computer will play that sound that it plays when it recognizes a USB device. In addition to that, if I plug it in when ODIN is open, ODIN recognizes the phone and displays a yellow block with "0:[COM11]" in it.
I went ahead and downloaded the necessary things from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36
and began trying to flash to stock using his instructions. So far ODIN appears to be running, but is stuck at modem.bin.
Maybe its not making any progress at all, but I'd like to hope so. Does anyone know if the 1012 batch can get into download mode using a method outside of the normal key presses and JIGs? Any recommendations for me to revive this Captivate? I did enjoy the fact that it didn't shut down on me every 30 minutes. The GPS still sucked on it though. But I need to bring it back to life, just don't know what other options there are. As far as I know, if the screen presents you with an image of any sorts, its just a soft brick and CAN be recovered.

Can't use one click with your build number. You would need to use full odin. There are numerous articles here on how to do that.

Yeah, found out the hard way. I do wish there was a stickied post that broke down the build numbers and the various caveats of each build number, including tried and proven methods of restoring to stock and other things.
My situation was quite strange, as ODIN appeared to recognize the phone even though it only displayed the "cellphone --- computer" icon. I'm wondering if the failed flash screwed up the download mode graphic and replaced it with the "cellphone --- computer" graphic? Either way, it didn't "appear" to actually be in download mode, it was.

That screen only means that a flash was incomplete. Flashing anything even a modem successfully will get rid of that screen, granted your kernel/rom was broken so it wouldn't have booted properly but that screen would've went away, replaced by a bootloop. so to fix it completely to an up and running state an entire rom package is needed. Like you used.
Just informing you that, that screen isn't the **** your pants moment. that time comes when the phones does absolutely nothing, as long as there is ANYTHING you are 99% of the time ok. That 1% is when your usb port on the phone is broken, or your pc drivers just all of a sudden decide to extend their arms and give you the figner, or you try odin again with the same faulty connection that gave you the bad connection/incomplete flash and that time it hangs on the bootloaders and bricks it.
Odin recognizes my phone in all modes except completely off: booted, recovery, download and I just tested the phone...!...pc screen on purpose by yanking the chord during a kernel flash got that screen of coarse cause the flash was incomplete. But unless the phone is in download mode it doesn't initiate download protocol and odin will hang on setting up connection.
You can't really have a guide line for what works on what builds for any certainty because every phone of a certain build doesn't behave the same way.
I have 3 captivates I flash. 1, a 1010, and 2 are 1012s all of them have no issue whatsoever with odin one click. It's just the luck of the draw...

I recently had this EXACT issue. The way i fixed it was building a jig out of 3 100k 1/4w resistors and forcing my phone into download mode.
Studacris helped me out there!
if your still having issues, its http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079000

I also just went through this. I just had to keep trying. The jig is what saved me.

[Q] I Killed my Captivate

So lately i have been having a ridiculous amount of issues on my phone. RAM was constantly used up it kicked me out of programs all the time, battery sucked, itd be laggy and jumpy power button stopped working etc. so last night i decided screw it i was sick of it and i was just going to start fresh so first i just did the system reset or whatever on the phone.
Now heres the problem, after the reset i turn the phone on it boots up and goes to the tutorial, when i either skip the tutorial or finish it i get an error message saying the tutorial isnt working properly and asking to force close. so i close it and then all i get is a black screen with the clock on the top. Not of the buttons on it work and it wont do anything but pull down the menu.
ive tried the odin 1 click master clear but it and my computer wont recognize the phone along with me putting it into download mode and trying to flash to stock. Odin doesnt see it and my computer says the drivers are broken and it wont recognize the device.
I re-installed all the drivers but the same results occur. I did however manage to have my computer see it when i put it in samsung keis mode (can still choose that from the drop down menu when i plug it in) however i dont know if that will help anything.
So any and all help will be greatly welcomed as i now am without a phone and need it very soon. Thanks

If Odin isn't being friendly to your phone, try using Heimdall. You can get all the same things you need from Odin, but it's a different set of drivers and a different program, which might solve your issues.
If you need one, here's a Heimdall One-click to stock Froyo that AdamOutler made. It's really easy to use - just download it, let it install, and click flash.

alright ill try it and see how it goes thanks a lot

no luck. Heimdall doesnt recognize it connected and my computer still says it wont recognize it so im guessing thats the main issue first...

If you haven't already, try turning your phone and computer off. Then reboot the computer and let it settle. Once it's all set up, move your USB cable to a port at the back of the computer (or somewhere else on the computer if it's a laptop).
Once you've done that, start up Heimdall. Once it's up and settled, start up your phone in download mode, then hook up the phone.

both have been restarted a couple times but ill try that again. i grabbed a different usb cable as well. this time it allowed heimdall to recognize the device at first but when i started it said no drivers and it i followed the instructions it said after however the options heimdall said werent available. im confused why it would so no drivers as i just reinstalled them and when i plugged the phone in for heimdall it said drivers installed.
but no at the end of trying a couple times the device is back to unrecognized and heimdall cant see it

Heimdall uses a different set of drivers (libusb) instead of the ones that samsung provides. I would suggest that you go ahead and uninstall the Heimdall drivers as well as the samsung drivers, reboot the computer, and run Heimdall again. Let it finish installing the drivers and be ready, then reboot one more time and try again.

eventually got it working and got it back to stock 2.2 however my 3g isnt working and when i try to run the update on the phone to gingerbread it wont connect to att. i thought maybe i could just flash up to gingerbread but when i put it in download mode and connect it odin still doesnt recognize it and this was after rebooting both

If you were able to get it to work with Heimdall, and you're wanting to go to stock GB, I would suggest using Adam's UCKH3 Heimdall One-click. This will flash stock AT&T Gingerbread (well.. technically that doesn't exist yet, but..) and the i897 Gingerbread bootloaders at the same time.
Just make sure you have all your important stuff backed up to something that isn't your phone before you do it, and that you have a good connection between your computer and phone.

well that one worked so thanks but still no 3g or any data connection

Just to check, make sure your IMEI matches the one on your phone.
To do this (assuming you're on AT&T), go to the dialer and type *#06#.
Write down that number, then open your battery case.
Take out the battery, and look on the sticker with the barcode. Above the first barcode should be your phone's IMEI. Double check to make sure those match.
If not, you may have some issues with the contents of your /efs folder.

nvm i figured it out. had to reset the access points or whatever to default. now onto to re rooting. thanks for all the help. know anything about the power button not working? i thought it mighta just been the software before but its still not working. do fixes exist? because i really hate using AnyLock to use my phone.

If you're wanting one that's rooted and has CWM, check out the one in my signature. It's stock KH3 gingerbread, with CWM, rooted, but no bootloaders.

hey just wanted to thank you for helpin me out all day. that last heimdall gb helped me about immensely. ive finally been able to install some custom roms and what not successfully. i used to follow every direction super close and nothing ever worked but finally going my way so thanks a bunch ha

Bet this can't be fixed

No firmware and USB problem
I have a large problem, my wifes galaxy s won't go by the first screen (says GALAXY S GT-I9000)
So i thought i'd fix it using odin using the 3 button combo. But that isn't working anymore.
Luckily i have a usb jig which gets me to the download mode ...... but !
When i connect the pc cable (tried 2 OE samsung ones) i get device not recognized so i can't use odin to fix it.
What can i do, or do i have to send it to a repair centre to be resurrected ?
I have searched and searched but not found any topics with the same issues i have on her phone.

Need a bit more info i.e were you flashing the phone??if so which rom?

Then phone was playing up so i flashed darkys 10.4.2.
However the usb connection wouldn't work so i flashed it to standard JVT
using mobile odin.
Then i rooted it and went to go into recovery mode and it wouldn't turn on.

I tried to help the gentleman , but no luck . From what he told me , phone turns on after battery insertion , and It is not recognised by usb => so odin not usable .

If you can get to download mode but the phone isn't recognized by your computer then i'd say it's a driver issue. Install your phone's drivers again. To do that, just installing kies is enough BUT be sure to open task manager in windows and kill any process that has kies in it's name before opening odin.
If that still isn't flying i'd try using different USB ports and even with a different computer.
Extra advice:
- try not to flash bootloaders for now. That means picking a rom that has no bootloaders included but matches your phone's current bootloader. If you were using gingerbread flash a gingerbread rom, if you were using froyo, flash a froyo rom.

phone not starting up past first screen (GALAXY S GT-I9000 in white on black screen), phone not recognized neither by pc nor laptop ( usb drivers installed ) , phone turns on after battery insertion without pressing anything.

This manual is from a German board
Take the battery out, then hold the 3 keys combo for download and put the battery back on. Now you should start the download mode.
If not, then try it with a jig.
Good luck!

GOT A JIG. WORKS FINE.
But pc wont recognize it !!

Have you double checked that you have the right drivers installed? I know you have to use the Nexus S drivers for CM9, not sure about Darky's ROM.

Drivers
Download drivers 64 bit | 32 bit from here and install.

It is NOT the drivers as my other galaxy s connects fine every time.
Drivers have been removed and installed repeatedly.

I would suggest a different computer, maybe a different cable. I have this same issue with my infuse, hope you get this resolved.

Already tried that as well

You could try Adam outler's unbrickable mod.

Pasted from other thread:
I just wrote a wall of text b4 and my browser crashed GG
Well, here we go again, i will only tell what I did/the process
I did a nandroidbackup, then i wiped all data (data+cache+dalvik), installed CyanogenMod 9 (Build 16), it rebooted automaticly, so I entered recovery again, installed Google Apps from there, wiped data and cache (no dalvik), rebooted.
Ended up looping at the Samsung screen (not animation), and I couldnt do the 3-button-combo, so the NANDroid backup is useless.
I can enter the download thing, but i dont even know what it does.
Tried plugging it in the charger (after letting it dry out during the night), and only the loop thing appears. Cant do anything.
I see that theres something called odin (Since my download thing is working (VolDown+Home+Power) if its that you mean.
If its possible to fix my phones state, please tell me how, since I startedrooting, flashing and stuff yesterday (Gotta start at some point) and followed HDTechVideos tut (On his website)

I have nowhere near enough ability for that. Pity though.

Your problem is most likely the USB port. Maybe cleaning it might help. It happened to me for a few months then when I got the S2 I stopped using it. Began to use it as my home 3g wifi modem and kept it on charge the whole time. A few weeks later tried connecting it to the computer and it worked first go. Ever since it has worked perferctly. I suspect the problem possibly started by a rain drop getting into the port.
Mind you, even when it wasn't being recognised by the PC, I would constantly connect, remove, reconnect, reboot PC and phone etc and it would sometimes get recognised. Other times it wouldn't connect but Odin still recognised it.
Sounds silly but try leaving it on charge as I did and maybe, just maybe you'll be lucky like I was.

Well as of today it is away to the O2 repair centre.
Its under warranty (unless the find out it was rooted etc) so fingers crossed.

[Q] Completely dead N7000. Hardbrick I think.

Howdy there.
First off, this is not "just another bricked Note thread".
I got this thing from a friend who did not have a clue what he did with it, but he told me he tried to "root it or something" He didn't have any files left, or any memory what he used.
I have for weeks tried every single trick in the book, followed every tutorial, and it shows no sign of coming to life any time soon.
When I got it, it just got stuck on the Samsung flash screen. I couldn't get into any sort of recovery, but I got into download mode, so I tried reflashing the stock firmware with ODIN, but it got stuck on NAND WRITE START for 2 hours, and then failed. All Kies processes were killed, I double checked.
After that, it only shows the "Firmware update failed, start emergency recovery mode in kies"
Kies does not support initialization for N7000, doubted it would have worked anyways.
After this, I went on to read about the brick bug for N7000
Since then I have tried repartitioning the device with all kinds of pit files, I have tried installing about 20 different firmwares, I have tried installing just a kernel, both stock and others, and NOTHING works.
Some pit files get stuck in DO NOT TURN OFF DEVICE for 6-24 hours, until I have disconnected or battery has run out, and some fail by themselves after 20 minutes.
Firmwares get stuck at NAND WRITE START, and fail after about an hour
Kernels fill up the bar with the green dots showing it's doing something but as soon as the log says "NAND Write Start" it gets stuck.
Is there ANYTHING still worth testing, before throwing it in the well? I will not go to a service center and pay to fix a spare phone that will lay in a box until I MIGHT need it some day.
It doesn't matter if my storage space goes down to only 500mb space with some sort of repartitioning, nothing matters. I just want it to run.
I do not have any recovery, and I haven't successfully installed any,
Basically the only thing I can do, is get to Download mode, and the only program so far finding it is ODIN.
I am very thankful for any help, and don't hesitate checking if I forgot something very basic, I might just as well have forgot something very important, but I feel I have tried everything.
Thank you!

Well, okay then. Thanks for clearing that up.
I just figured that it's something worse since NOTHING works, hence the "not just another" meaning "not just the same as the others". Atleast I thought it meant that. Perhaps my English isn't so good. Oh well.
I have read dozens of other threads about this where people have been able to get into recovery mode, repartition, or flash a new kernel, or at least SOMETHING, but mine just blocks everything.
-Jimi

Okay then, let's simplify the question/request.
Is there ANY way at all to scan or/and repartition my emmc?
WITHOUT a recovery.
WITHOUT it accepting anything through ODIN, not even the standard pit file, or any of the custom ones I have tried from another thread.
WITHOUT adb.
I can only get to Download Mode.
Heimdall seemed to understand my phone a bit, but couldn't flash anything.
Kernels got stuck at 100%
Factoryfs got stuck at 4%
Recovery got an error "finishing the packet" or something.
Could I use Heimdall to scan or repartition my emmc maybe?

If you are unable to Odin flash a recovery or stock rom then there's no other way. If you found other methods but is still unsuccessful then your phone is dead anyways.

I have seen the NAND write stuck error sometimes goes away on a different PC. If the memory is not already broken but worth a try.. Also use original USB cable, main PC usb port, odin 1.85.

Nah, I think the memory is broken.
I have only tested with odin 1.75, but on 3 different PCs
My laptop with Win 8.1
My old computer with XP
And my work computer with Win 7 home
Still, I do not want to give up!
In my frustration I started to flash everything and anything that just had a N7000 tag on it, and somehow somewhere something happened.
I do not have the "firmware failed, use kies recovery" message anymore.
I am instead getting the Samsung splash screen, but it freezes there, I can't do anything.
And also, if my device is off, I can charge it! The battery shows up, but then it freezes with the circle in it before it fills with green to show how much it is charged, but now it atleast accepts charge. Before it didn't.
But I still wonder if I could not scan and repartition my phone with anything else than recovery mode? Perhaps I could flash a repartitioned custom Pit file with Odin if I could just scan it somehow?

I got a similar problem with my uncle's Note. It was working fine all these years, until last month when I rooted it to upgrade it to 5.1. The phone worked for over a month post upgrading.
However, now, when I power it up, nothing happens, absolutely nothing. If I connect it to a power source, the offline battery charging symbol comes up saying 100%. Recovery mode doesnot work, though I can go in Download mode.
I tried a couple of stock ROM images through ODIN. They were flashed successfully, but the issue persists. Looks like another dead Note.

Thanks for your reply. Couldn't check it until last night. I was running NightOwl when this happened. Last night, I thought something and flashed the same Philz recovery through Odin and some how it worked.
I have started realizing that it is a hardware issue, since the device does not start without being connected to a power source. 1 out of 20 tries take me into recovery (of course while the device is connected to the charger, or else the screen is always black).
However, the recovery doesn't stay too long. I tried flashing a newer version of NightOwl, but while the recovery is still opening the package, the phone restarts .
One weird thing is that the phone doesn't starts without being connected to the PC or the charger. But when connected, within seconds, the offline charging screen says 100%, which is making me believe something is wrong with the hardware.

Part of the "hardware" is your battery...
