You may need to recover your device through odin, but 1st you should be sure that its going into download mode. To check it you may follow the steps below:
1. Take out the battery & put it back
2. Press the vol up & down button together
3. Now connect phone to PC via usb cable while keeping the vol buttons pressed.
The screen shall turn on and show downloading. If this is working then there is a fair chance to recover your phone.
I will shortly post a link to recovery steps.

Pull out your battery for 10 mins, reinsert the battery and now on startup try entering the recovery mode. It will most probably boot in an emergency arm recovery mode but let you connect to odin and update your firmware.
Good luck!

U cannot go download mode?....:/Try somehow..without battery..or do something... and flash a stock 2.3.5 with odin...

Try this steps:
- remove sim card, and sdcard
- remove battery for even less than 30-20 seconds
- hold volume down, home key and power button simultaneously and put the battery, it will go directly to Download Menu
None of this works bro for SGM.....Be careful...Dont install ROM manager no matter how pro you are at changing ROMs.

Try removing the battery and pressing the power button in for 1 minute. If that doesn't work, you need to flash some new firmware.

Try this link
but how do i root my phone if its not turning on? I can go to only Downloading mode.
Don't worry just do this:
NOTE : It would be best to have your phone fully charged before flashing
1. First install the drivers ONLY if you haven`t already installed them, also if you have Kies installed there is no need to install these drivers, but you are better off installing these anyway : http://dev-host.org/ZRA
2. Download this package (it includes i9000 stock rom+kernel+odin) : http://dev-host.org/RAE, if you have a Captivate or a Vibrant just download a stock rom for your phone model and find a kernel which has root and cwm in it.
NOTE : The next step will require using the 3 key combo for accessing the clockworkmod recovery and also the download mode.The 3 key combo used below is for the Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. If you own a Captivate or a Vibrant please click this link and choose your phone model to see what 3 key combo must be used, as it differs from one phone model to another : http://tinyurl.com/6q6ajpx
3. After you have extracted all the contents you downloaded and installed drivers, put your phone into download mode using the 3 key combo : volume DOWN + home button+power button, keep those pressed until it goes into download mode.
4. Connect phone to PC via USB Cable and open Odin (windows should detect the phone and install some drivers, after it`s finished you should see the message "Added!" in Odin which means Odin succesfully detected your phone so now you are ready to flash)>check Re-Partition Option>press PIT button and browse for the s1_odin_20100512.pit file, press BOOTLOADER button and browse for the APBOOT… file, press PDA button and browse for the CODE….file, press PHONE button and browse for the MODEM….file, press CSC button and browse for the GT-I9000-CSC….file. PRESS START button and wait for the green pass notification in Odin.

[Q] Is it bricked?

Phone locked up while using web browser. Turned it off. Pulled battery. Tried to restart. No powerup. Nada. It's rooted with Jocala's custom kernal on the stock, current-update ROM. CWM installed. Study these symptoms and comment on whether it is dead due to hardware or software fatal, unsolvable issues:
1. When I try to boot up by holding in power button and volume up button, nothing happens. It does not turn on and does not boot into recovery regardless of how long I hold those two buttons in.
2. When I try to do the factory reset trick of holding the volume up/down entire button pressed in (not power up or power down but the whole button pressed in) plus the power on button, the screen lights up with the SAMSUNG name in white, and then immediately the screen goes black and white letters up top read RAMDUMP MODE. Cause: Force Upload. That stays on forever and ever until I power off the phone or pull the battery, and the whole thing repeats if I try the process again.
3. I tried pulling the battery and holding in the power button for about 20 minutes and that didn't fix anything.
4. Booting by holding the volume-down button and power on boots into the "WARNING -- A custom OS can . . ." screen with the exclamation point in a yellow triangle , and I can use the volume up key to continue with the loading a custom OS, and when I do volume up, I get the ODIN Mode screen, the android robot icon and the words "Downloading . . . Do not turn off target!!" If I plug into my computer, the computer doesn't recognize the phone. When I plug it in with Kies turned on, Kies says it is trying to connect, but it never connects, even if I let it plugged into Kies for hours. I don't get a Kies error message, either.
I have tried all these tricks with SIM card in and SIM card removed. With MicroSD card installed and MicroSD card removed. I have tried spare batteries from my other phone that are good and fully charged. I have tried using different USB cables that work for data transfer on my other phone. Am I missing a trick? Is this patient dead on the operating table? Must I part with $175 to buy a new phone? Please, Android doctors, provide some patient consultation. Thanks.

I am going to assume you have the galaxy exhibit 4g t679? So when you plug it into your computer in Odin mode and then run the Odin program it isn't being detected? Do you have the USB drivers installed?

Click to expand...

Yes, current drivers are installed on the computer. When you say "then run the Odin program," what do you mean? My plugging in process was simply to get into the Odin Mode and then I plugged it into the computer. At that point, in Windows Explorer, the computer did not recognize that an external device was plugged in. I would normally get a new F and D drive showing when I plug a phone in.
I am not aware of what this "Odin program" is that you mentioned. Please elaborate. After my initial root process, I have used CWM to flash zips off the microsd card and have not been plugging it into the computer to do things, so I might be deficient in my knowledge of what to do with the computer when the phone is in Odin mode. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
You are going to have to search for a guide on how to use Odin. There is a link to download the program here:

I am getting some hope. But since I can't boot the phone, I can't get in to make sure USB Debugging Mode is selected. Will this prevent me from connecting to ODIN? I found the ODIN download and the recommendation to also download drivers for DOWNLOAD, and I'll do that. But will the USB Debugging issue cause me difficulty? I can't get to this until this evening, so that's why I'm asking rather than just trying. Please advise. Thanks!

Using Odin without ROM saved to internal memory?
Will I be able to use ODIN to fix the phone if I haven't yet saved the replacement ROM to the phone's internal memory? The instructions I see for using ODIN all seem to assume that the phone is working and booting up, and they start with the instruction to save the new ROM file to the phone's internal memory. Since I'm trying to restore a bricked phone, without having the ability to first copy the ROM onto the phone's internal memory, what are the steps I will follow upon opening the Odin software and connecting the phone? Thanks again for the input so far. Maybe I can save this bricked phone (my girlfriend's phone -- so I will look like a true hero).

OK i see your confusion. On the wiki there are two types of ways to return to stock. One is through recovery, which i am assuming you can not get into. The second is the Odin way. If you can get to recovery that would be safer. I think the way that works for me is take out the battery, plug in USB, hold volume up and insert battery.

Odin is going to flash the stock ROM to the phone. You don't need to copy anything to it. The steps you need to follow are in the link I posted to the wiki.

Yes you probably have a hard brick, so return to T-Mobile or JTAG are your options but what did Odin say. Please go through the steps you took to restore it. I have odined maybe ten times and never had a problem.

Won't power on at all. Dead forever?

You have the right area so don't worry about that.
It looks like your phone is done for good, but let's try to salvage it. Follow the steps carefully to avoid messing it up even further.
1.Make sure your battery is charged. Use an universal charger or something similar to charge it if not.
2.Unplug your phone from your USB cable or charger.
3.Put the battery back inside but do not power it up yet.
4.Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the HOME button. While holding both of them, press and hold the POWER button. You should be prompted with a DOWNLOADING message. If nothing shows, then it's dead.
5.If you are shown the message, then you can still make it work. Make sure you have all your USB Drivers installed. After that download ODIN.
6.Open ODIN and plug in your phone while it is still in DOWNLOAD mode.
7.If it recognizes it, follow the steps here and you should be done.

4.Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the HOME button. While holding both of them, press and hold the POWER button. You should be prompted with a DOWNLOADING message. If nothing shows, then it's dead.
5.If you are shown the message, then you can still make it work. Make sure you have all your USB Drivers installed. After that download ODIN.
6.Open ODIN and plug in your phone while it is still in DOWNLOAD mode.
7.If it recognizes it, follow the steps here and you should be done.

There is not much left to do. If there is a method of fixing this type of hard brick, the chances are very slim. You're better off sending the phone to Samsung Care.

Connection: 0 is drivers or kies problem. Uninstall all the Samsung USB drivers and re install them and also force stop or close kies running in background.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Bootloop

hello, I have a problem with my galaxy note 9. I mistakenly started an update with a different firmware from mine (I have SM-N960F). So now it is in bootloop on the screen installing system update. If I press Power + Volume Down the phone can simulate the removal of the battery by switching off and then restarting immediately. I can not get into recovery mode nor download mode. The phone is not recognized by the PC and therefore I can not use odin. How can i do?
Hold down Bixby, volume down, and power button until you see the download screen. Then flash through proper firmware.
if I try this combination of keys the phone will reboot on the logo screen until I stop (and then go back to that of the installing system update)

Ok. Try Bixby, Power, and Volume UP. See if you can get into recovery.
no, nothing happens..
If one wants to remove the carrier boot/flashscreen does one just flash an unbranded firmware? hate the carrier startup splash screen...

Dang. That sounds like a hard brick to me. If you can't get into download, there's nothing you can do. Hopefully someone here can find a solution for you, but sounds like you're bricked.

I think you accidentally clicked on for wrong thread. Your question has nothing to do with the OP's problem.

contrary to what some might have suggested in this case dl mode can only be achieved if phone is OFF. ( on the note 9 dl mode button combo changed so... :cyclops: )
so if you cant get to recovery and select power off. let it drain out. then plug the power for 10 min to charge it. leave it powered off
then unplug. hold vol down and bixby with one hand. while holding those 2 buttons plug the usb cable from your pc.
should revive to dl mode

Yes, but I celebrated too early ... now I have another problem. I downloaded a firmware from updato.com and unzipped. I assigned the entries bl ap cl and csc, and started .. now the process is started on "set partition" and on the device the horizontal bar has not loaded. now it is still .. and yet the phone has been recognized.

you need to know what model phone you have and flash the matching firmware.(get latest)
you can also use samfirm tool to get latest firmwares.
you cant downgraded bootloader so maybe you just choose a too old of a firmware.
also be sure you use Odin v. 3.13.1
also check that you are using a good USB c cable/USB port on PC.

Yes.. there was an error non odin 12.3
It's finally work:good:
Glad you got it working. Sorry if I steered you the wrong direction. I wasn't implying you could get to Download mode with it powered on. I assumed you were trying it with the device powered down. I should've been more clear and I almost asked you that.
Glad Bober got you up and running.
Hi all, I got a boot loop on my note 9 n960n after I was enable the "encryption"(didn't think straight..). After I pressed "reset and the phone will go to TWRP recovery but it will not allow me to stop so it just keep looping whenever I press "reset". I cannot power off the phone also. Any advise is appreciated, thanks in advance.
I solved the problem eventually..
same problem here.
wait a lot of hours battery to go down and put in download mode but now odin didn recognize it.
Any advice,please

Have you tried:
1. Plug phone into computer, with odin running
2. Turn phone off (if bootlooping skip to next step)
3. Hold bixby and volume down buttons, then turn phone on( or wait for phone to power cycle if bootlooping)
4. You should now be in download mode
if i press power button it will stuck in installing system info again

seems you might not have flashed a complete firmware set ( all 4 bl ap cp and csc .md5 files. were you trying to downgrade by any chance?)
also u should state what got you in that jam in the 1st place. because just responding to an old thread dosen't give much info on your current situation.
