[Q] Help getting from Cognition2 beta5 back to stock, no Odin..

Hey there, i have searched around for a day or so and found a similar post on here but no real answers thus far. There is a ton of information out there so i may have missed it but my phone is having issues so i really need to wipe and go back to stock, then update from there...
Running Cognition v2.2 Beta5.5 UCJ16. Love the rom but i have had some issues and decided to upgrade to the new Cog rom then found out i cant without going back to stock first. Tried to do that with "Odin" but i get the USB not recognized when going into download mode, Odin will not pick up the phone. I did read the entire Odin faq and saw that other ppl have had this issue but did not really find a solution. I can get into dl mode fine and i've never ever had an issue with my cpu not picking up the phone via the USB until now. Tried the adb reboot, volume buttons, everything in the faq, it's a no go & all my drivers are up to date. So far i can't do anything and it's getting a bit frustrating lol.. I rooted with the Galaxy S One click Root by TGA_Gunnman, not sure if that helps any.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!!

Also meant to ask, if i can't go upgrade to the new version of cognition can i flash from that one to a different rom and them maybe back to 2.1? I'm not a noob to rooting and flashing i did my last 2 phones and have rooted this one, i haven't had one single problem with anything of my phones until this one...

Try a different us port the ones on the back seem to work better

Already tried that same result, it won't recognize the device. I have to go out of town in a few days and need my phone to quit acting up lol. If i can't get it resolved by tomorrow i guess i'll just start trying to flash other roms and see if i can find one it will take and go from there..

Usb debugging turned on? You have odin opened up BEFORE you put your phone in download mode? Technically you don't have to odin to stock you just have to odin to a Rom that has 2e recovery. So you could try that if you can't get one click odin to work.

Yes i tried it with de-bugging turned on and odin running before hand. Pretty much tried everything in the Odin thread and about everything else i could find with google. The phone's just acting funky and not accepting it

How are you putting your phone into download mode?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I'm getting into download mode through doing the volume up/down then inserting the usb cable with the sim and everything out. I believe it's method 3 listed in the Odin post, it does go into download mode but i still get "USB not recognized" from both the front and back ports..

Finally got it fixed! Just tried it out on my friends laptop and everything worked flawlessly. Must be a problem in my Desktops USB somewhere but it is still odd as it worked fine and still does, just didn't work with Odin. I've seen other people with the same issue hopefully someone else can learn from my mistakes....Just try another PC lol.

[Q] Bricked my phone and don't know how to fix

I really need some help with my Zio m6000 cricket junk. I bricked it and can't figure out for the life of me how to fix it.
I read post after post in this forum and did everything I can think of and nothing is working. I have all the programs I think I need to dump the rom on my pc. None of them will even read that the phone is connected to the pc.
I sent message after message and only a few have responded but none knew how to help me. I thank those who did try though. I know there has to be a way to unbrick a Zio phone by now. None of the posts in the forum explain this in full detail because they are ALL from a year or more ago, or just don't explain in todays times how to do it.
I'm so close to just taking my hammer and smashing the phone and take the total loss with it. I can't affored to buy another phone, and Cricket service eats a **** for helping me replace the phone.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME INSTAL, RUN, PROGRAM WHAT NEEDS PROGRAMMED OR WHATEVER IT IS I NEED TO DO TO GET MY PHONE WORKING AGAIN????????

(SOLVED)

I'm not the most experienced, so I am not entirely sure if this will work, but I know it fixed my bootloop issue. Have you tried doing a factory restore? To do so, hold the power button and the volume down button. A screen will pop up, simply navigate using your scroll ball and select the factory restore option. Note that this will erase all Apps and user data on the phone (mine stayed rooted and kept some of the settings I changed via file manager). Sorry if this doesn't help, I hope that you figure it out soon. I'm sure some people on here can help you more than I can.

1. connect your phone to your computer via USB
2. Place phone in Modem Download Mode By holding the Power(red) Call(green) and volume up and down buttons.
3. Run the updater let it run its course.
4. Let it reboot (or manually reboot) - it may take up to five minutes to boot.

Thank you guys for all your advice
Thank you all, sinisin got me on google talk today and helped me step by step to reflash my whole phone to the new rom and get it working again for me . I would NEVER have done it myself, if anything I would have made the phone worse trying. lol, I have to thank you all for your help but most of all the biggest thanks has to goto sinisin for being very patient with the whole process and getting my phone running again for me. THANK YOU SINISIN.
So far i'm killing the battery for the calibration part of the instructions and all seems very good so far.
I also want to say and give extreme credit to all involved with making the custom 2.1 rom and getting it working. THANK YOU GUYS. ITS AWSOME! to what I've seen of it so far. I haven't messed with it just yet but getting ready to reinstal most of my apps back to my phone and DELETE clockworkmod from its sd card so i hopefully never brick it again using that crap. I knew better and was such a dummy noob for trying to use it.
Thank you again guys as well as you sinisin,

Hey ive tried this method but it keeps looking for the phone in debugging.
It only stays in Fastboot and thats the only thing that loads up.
Ive tried flashing the system.img's that i have found all say successful but it always boots back up into Fastboot.
Let me know if you have another method or any suggestions.
Thanks

If your M6000 Zio is a brick, run the leaked 2.2.1 from Zclusive. You will need to put the Zio into modem download mode then start the update.

If it is going into fastboot your not pressing the correct buttons on boot up. You have to push the Red, Green and Both volume buttons simultaneously and the phone will boot into Modem Download mode.

Update Failed
Ok I have installed the Modem drivers from Kyoceras website and made sure its connected in download mode. It says download mode on it.
Then I downloaded and opened the 2.000CR.5 etc
When it looks for the phone it says Update Failed.
Never picks it up. And I am running Windows XP just incase you wanted to know.
Its SP3.
Any ideas on why its not working for me?
Thanks again everyone for helping

Tried updating to ICS through KIES. Update failed

Hello guys.
I really need some help. Im going away for 2 weeks on 4 June. And after i come back ill be ghone after 2 days again for 2 weeks and i need my phone!
My story:
I saw an update for my phone to ICS. So i plugged on my laptop and put the update on with KIES 2.1.3.
At about 64% the update didnt go ferther and it gave an error report.
The program KIES shut down, and my phone turned off.
I putted everything back on. But now my phone says this:
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again.''
KIES doesnt see my phone anymore. And the recovery mode i found on the internet.
Volume button up, home button+ power button doesnt work.
It keeps going to this screen.
My phone was 2.3.6 standard, non rooted etc etc.
How can i fix this fast?
I tried rooting and flashing, but i just cant do anything with my phone exept this screen i explained.
Thanks in advance.

Just download ODIN app for Windows, get right stock firmware from development thread ( Dr. Ketan's post ) and flash it with ODIN. It's as simple as clicking select file and start. Everything is described in the thread with firmware downloads.

Yes. Then there is hope. Now I recommend you to try flashing one of the stock roms from dr.ketans thread in development section.
Its not very complicated. But feel free to ask if you need more help.

I just cant explain how happy i am with this forum.
Brings so much luck into live
Thanks.
Ill see if i need more help. Hopefully not.

Is there any dutch ICS rom?
Or should i stick with a basic english?

I got exactly the same problem. Called T-Mobile's helpdesk. With everything I asked, the girl said, it's in the manual. Finally, the best she had to offer was for me to send my Note to Samsung.
So then I started looking for a solution myself and found it here.
Solved it with the said solution. Flashing with Odin is a piece of cake. Thanks for the expertise folks.

Good thing we can help. Wouldnt call myself an expert though

Well i searched for hours to. My sister had her S2 upgraded with KIES. That worked, but the ICS update itself was plain suck.
I fixed it thanks to XDA forum. Nothing found on the internet exept sending to help desk.
Same with what i got now.
But now it is fixed and im thankfull to the ones helping.
Now i am willing to try ICS without KIES.

So it wasnt an option.

BTW, after getting my Note up and running again, I used KIES again for updating to ICS and this time I had no problem at all.

For me this didnt work. KIES had an upgrade, but seems like it still doesnt do the job right.

Ran some tests. Now i am back at the issue.
Now Odin doesnt want to continue updating like KIES always does.
I wish i didnt do the tests...

[Q] LG Optimus 4x HD gets stuck on boot animation,please help

Hi All,
Sorry if this is a duplicate but everything I have seen at least has not helped me further.
I wanted to root my phone yesterday and everything (tutorial here with o4xr) the went well till it installed busy box where the computer froze and then shut itself down and so I tried to turn restart my phone normally. Now its stuck at the bit where the LG animation is and goes no further.
Here is what I have already tried:
Rerunning the o4xr/root method again
Hard Resetting (selected and running all options available)
LG Service App (windows) -> always fails on communicating with device... works up until that and I do see the SW Ugrade splash.
My version is the EURO Open v10h or something like that.
Please help me fix... This is the first phone I havent been able to root, any suggestions?

Need help with stucked S7

Hi
I recently tried to root my phone from this guide: devs-lab.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge
I followed the instructions and flashed this file from ODIN:
Samsung_G930x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
The file transferred ok and when the phone started rebooting it just stopped with a fault message on the screen.
Now the phone is stucked and i can't get contact with Odin. Odin recognizes the phone on the port but i cant flash to the phone.
The only way i have a chance to install on the phone now is with SD-card, because i am able to get to the recovery mode.
But when i try to install new stockware i just get signature failed message.
Does anyone know how i can get out of this mess ? I know its possible to turn of the signature check, but i cant get any options like this in the menu ..... BTW the phone is a G930F
I would really appreciate all help !
Thanks
Tom

Hi,
I dont remember exactly the fault message because my phone has been sent to service. But i will get it back in a couple of days. Then i will tell you the entire message. But is was something about kernel fault....
The service center says i have to replace the main board on the phone which cost almost the same as a new phone....
But i'm sure the main board is not broken...

Blah that's never good. Though I don't always trust things HAVE to be replaced at the hardware level. But it is what it is. Hopefully when you get it back all will be working for you! Unless it was just a bad chip, failing at the same time you were trying to write the new files to memory?

Actually i'm hoping to fix the phone withouth replacing the main board since it is so expencive.
So i asked them to return it withouth replacing. Because as long as i can get the phone in recovery mode its not broken. I just need to get pass Samsungs signature verification somehow... Then i can install new firmware...
Still hoping to get help. I will post the error message as soon as i get the phone back,
Thanks so far

I think I did the same thing when I first got the Phoenix, and did not research and do not turn the OEM Unlock feature on. I messed up things and through a lot of reflashing and panic searching, got mine to come back.
I since have seen others post issues that sound horrible but have been recoverable. We'll help you try to figure it out once you get the phone back.

Hi, i finally got my phone back.
Been trying different things like installing new firmware by using the SD-card. And also by using ADB, since the phone allows me to install software through ADB.
But no matter what i do the phone tells that signature verification failed.
I think one fault i did when installing the twrp custom recovery from ODIN i forgot to press the key combo and it started up with the original bootloader. Then it got stuck with the error screen i told you about.
I have uploaded a picture of the error message below.
If anyone knows how to get by the signature verification test then maby i could be able to install new firmware....
Thanks again, i will be grateful for any tips that could help me !
Best Regards

Good NEWS !!!!!
I managed to get the phone working again...
What i did was:
Holding the volume down, home and power button at the same time. When the phone went black i plugged in the USB cabel from the computer.
The error message came up 2 - 3 times but i kept holding the buttons.
Eventually it went into download mode and i used ODIN to flash the firmware...
I hope this could solve the problem also for others facing similar issues.
Thanks to BWolf56 who posted in a forum here. His tips fom 2011 .... helped me.
