[q] downloading do not turn off target

HELP HELP HELP -- I recently plugged my phone into my com to transfer music. samsung kies then started up and told me i needed a firmware upgrade. I proceeded to upgrade and mid upgrade i received an on screen message that my device wasn't recognised and the upgrade was auto cancelled. I now have a message with bright yellow/green trianle that says "do not turn off target". I have reinstalled kies - no luck. knocked phone on and off -no luck. i'm at a loss with what to do with the phone now !! phone not even being recognised by com or kies. Can anyone help please??? many many thanks in advance... thanks. ian.
Seems that you're new to that, so let me explain: if you see the yellow triangle with the android, you're in download mode. Normally, you access it by pressing power+home+vol down buttons while screen is off. As long as you can access download mode, your device isn't bricked. Now that you can't access anything else than download mode, you have to flash a new firmware with Odin. I recommend you to search for the JW4 firmware here in general section. There you should find help on how to flash it(best is Faryaab's thread).
maybe you can try and do a hard reset and flash a ROM from yr SD card..reboot in recoverymode..if the phone does not reboot..try and run the rooting program,might work.But most likely you'll have to reinstall the firmware...

Yep, I don't think that he has rooted, so flashing a ROM won't work.
hmmm....i get it..best thing to do i think,when it's up and running again..DoOMlords easy rooting kit worked fine for me.No problem getting it to work and you've got more options to fix any problem..good luck to the poster anyway xx

I don't really think that he rooted his phone ever before, so I don't think that he needs root now... but if he wants to try it out, CF-root or DoOMlords rooting kit are the right choises.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 Not Booting [Stuck in Recovery Mode]!

Hi,
Today in an attempt to upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT P1000from Android Froyo to Jelly beans, I tried rooting my device, which bricked the device, (guess that is what the condition of my tab is referred to).
As the first step, I rooted the device using z4root. It was successful. Afterward I installed ROM Manager from Android Market Place to take the backup of original ROM, which I couldn't take, as the device went dead before I could do that. After installing ROM manager, I installed ClockworkMod recovery.There was not any compatible version of CWM for my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT P1000, so I think I installed CWM 3.x or something. Afterward the device was restarted and instead of returning to the home screen it showed a recovery screen (see recovery.jpg), and no matter which option I selected, I was shown a warning sign and droid (see error.jog). Is there any way to get this fixed? or is my tabgone for ever?
The device is not locked with any carrier. I bought it independently in 2011 from eBay India. Before this happened, it was working fine.
I'd like to add that USB Debugging is not enabled. After rooting it, I disabled it for some reason, I cannot remember. I am new to rooting and stuff, so please be patience with me.
Please help.
Thanks
Bikram

Thanks Priyana for your timly reply. I am going to download the guide and follow the instructions given there. I hope it will not be too much for a noob like me.
I do not have access to internal SD. When I connect my phone to my Windows 8 PC, drives do not appear. What to do? And I'd like to add that my tab was only 50% charged when this happened, and since than it has lost some juice. Is there a way to charge it? Will connecting it to wall charge it as it did earlier? As I take it from your document that tab needs to be fully charged before I can attempt any of the steps. Please help
I always use external SD with a card reader in PC.
They are so cheap.
For battery. Just plug it to wall charger and keep on charging.

I have followed the steps. Connected my tab to computer after putting it in download mode and firing up Odin 3.71, but still the screen of the software is blank, where it is supposed to show ID:COM. There is no COM port identified. I am on Thinkpad E430 3254 N2Q running Windows 8 ultimate 64bit.
How should I fix this?
Thanks

[SOLVED][Q] need help, noob here

my friend gave me his galaxy captivate. he was messing with the software an screwed something up an he gave up trying to fix it an gave me the phone. it is a galaxy captivate with froyo 2.2 what happened as he told me is he flashed a new kernel with rom manager, but rebooted the phone before he was suppose to. now when it boots it shows the i896 on startup but goes to this glitched out screen with random colors in lines, the phone vibrates a few times then restarts itself an repeats. is there anything i can do to fix this?
Go to this post and use the Odin or Heimdall One Click that will give u Stock GB 2.3.5 i897ucKK4. Be sure to use one that includes the Bootloaders...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
And don't use Rom Manager. It doesn't work well with the Captivate.

[Q] possibly hard bricked SCH-i800, installed wrong rom

Thanks anyone for any answers in advance
OK so I was running cm10 a couple months ago. It was fine for about a week until it just sit down and when I restarted the tab, it only went into a loop. So I was trying to go into recovery mode and it was working. My lap top wasn't reading the tab. Maybe cuz it had a virus. I solved the virus but I accidentally did an update with wine uscellular software updator and it was still looping at bootloader. Then I thought I had the right. Tar file
And it was the wrong one, it was for the Samsung fascinate. So now it won't even go into download mode.
Only thing it does is the flash turns on when I plug it into her supply into wall socket.
This is the screen
help would be greatly appreciated. Just want to get it back to stock
Thanks
???
Nothing , no one has an answer. Not even a noob comment?
Not much to say when someone flashed a wrong ROM....
If your bootloader is overwritten, you can't get to download mode. Not sure if resurrection mod works for your tab.
Which means JTAG is your only option.

Hard bricked g870 active

Does anybody or can any body get me a scatter file ? Seeing as how its hard bricked and dead to the world I cant try to resurrect it without one. Maybe a 900a may work if they are close enuff.
hey can someone that has a 870 active please use sp flashtool and create me a scatterfile/? i hardbricked mine . need this scatterfile to bring it back up to life. if you need more info about it just let me know. it just reads memory locations so it can map them to flash certain files back to them , need it to recover the bootloaders sections. its like a pit file for odin it just flashes without it being in download mode.
Some help would be nice uh, Hi^~^
OK mate I've get away from modding my phones from 2 years now but if you guide me throughout the process I'll give you the file you need a g870a here ~ text me or whatever you want to [email protected] English or Spanish is welcome

did you end up getting the scatterfile?
Oh I fixed it a while back. By the way our phones are almost unbrickable as long as its just software related. I mean I hardbricked it and got it from no lights sounds or even charging screen, I mean nothing so if you happen to do that it's still fixable, and I have all the files to recover it.

There's alot you can do for that if you are rooted its simple if not then you have to go back to stock firmware. Depending on what you we're on and trying to do
