[Q] Optimus black stuck on firmware update screen

The story so far...
Bought a new Optimus Black and gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday a couple of days ago. After playing with it for about an hour she put it down, I picked it up and decided to have a tinker. I installed Cyanogen mod 3.5.1 after rooting it with Gingerbreak. So far so good but I didn't really like the look of the ROM and the absence of a Market seemed like hassle so I used ClockworkMod to restore the backed up stock ROM.
It's still working fine but now I see there is an official update from inside the phone. I presume it's the upgrade to Android 2.3 so run it and reboot the phone. That's when it all goes wrong. I'm now stuck in the CWM recovery screen. I try all the options, following any online guides I can find that were supposed to have worked for people. I try restoring the backup, restoring cyanogen, clearing the cache, dalvik, everything but nothing happens and I keep booting back into the CWM recovery screen.
Next day I try the LGUnitedMobileDriver and the phone recovery option but despite trying several times I can get no further. A friend tried to use Odin to restore it but got no success. Finally, we tried restoring with a KDZ file with
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, Windows Enabler and LG B2CTool and now the phone got stuck in yet another loop - a black screen with 'updating firmware'. The LEDs flash for a minute and it reboots and does the same again.
What's more, the phone will now no longer charge or turn on without being connected to the mains.
What are my options here?

Follow the tutorial given below.

Thanks, but I've already tried that and it doesn't work. I'm forever stuck in the firmware update screen.

have you tried the CS_EMERGENCY option in R&D TOOLS? Wait I'll find the link..

The CS_EMERGENCY is the only thing worked, he used a german V10A ROM. If you managed to unbrick it, you can flash it again with your desired KDZ, or use CS_EMERGENCY and flash directly your desired KDZ. TRIAL AND ERROR.

Emergency c-section... nope, I will try that now!

Said that it will get stuck at 4% but it is still flashing. Just wait for the phone to reboot by itself.

It just crashes with a fatal error as soon as it gets to the second tab (downloading) on both PCs I tried it on. I tried several KDZ files with the same result.

Does anyone know if it's possible to physically change the ROM on this phone and if it would be worth trying that before binning the thing?

Does it have warranty? Why not RMA it, I think it has a hardware problem now since you mentioned it doesn't charge anymore. Also, have you tried a different USB cable?

The warranty gets voided as soon as you root or mod a phone and it's probably as expensive to get it fixed outside of warranty as to buy a new one.

Most of the time they change the board right away if it can't boot (as many as I've read) board was changed and none just revived the OS. So they won't know you rooted it. Just specify that they should contact you first before making any changes.

true.. you can just tell them that you received an update and upon getting it the phone wont boot anymore.. just dont tell them that you rooted it or tinkered it in any way.. i'm sure you'll be able to get your warranty that way..

Did I birck my Note trying to flask Paranoid Android ?

Ok....you have heard this many times before but Ill ask anyways in the event someone can help me.
I am a newbie to rooting although Ive had my Note for months.
This morning I rooted successfully .
I also dloaded clockwork mod and watched YouTube tutorials on it.
Then I thought id try flashing a new ROM and Paranoid Android looked the easiest. Just two files - the zip and the fix. So i downloaded them to my CD card and then booted from RomManager into recovery mode.
Here is where I truly stuffed am I am guessing.
First I went into the immediately available option of 'instal file form SD card" and tried loading both Paranoid Android rom files .
I got Signature not verified etc
So then I went a step further and went into the clockwork mod folder instead ( where all font is blue and it becomes a touch screen menu ) and both files were there also so I hit the Paranoid Android zip file and it seemed to be actually doing something so i thought you beauty ! Some white lines of text came out, it stalled for a few minutes and then the phone just turned off and that's the way it is. DOINK.
I cannot turn it on.
I cannot boot into recovery mode.
My pc doesn't recognize it as a drive.
Kies wont recognize it.
so I have two questions ;
A) Is it resuable ?
b) Of I cant do it will Samsung service center be able to re-load the OS or whatever or is the unit well and truly fried ?
thanks

You obviously did not read the OP since procedure is clearly explained. What you did is just nonesense.
Does download mode works?

Did you flash Parnoid Android rom over an ICS rom, that's what I did and my Note was hardbricked. I got my Note back yesterday from the repair centre, its easy to forget to remember to read the instructions sometimes and it can happen, not to worry though...its not the end of the world, the repair centre is an option

you dont provide enough info..mainly exactly what rom and kernel you were on when you tried to flash Paranoid.

Maybe he should start writing in the correct forum (Q&A) and even better: read there first and find a lot of related threads and exact informations.

Take seals advice. He's an expert now lol. Btw glad to see you got your phone back! Get that rom going!

You guys are going to keep teasing me about my bad rom aren't you's?
Btw...I didn't brick my phone due to my rom, I bricked my phone because I flashed a CM9 rom over a ICS rom (my rom was based on a ICS rom).

Can you get into download mode?

Service Center here you go!

I flashed from the recent android 4.0.3. Asian version ( I am in Cambodia ) . I believe the mistake i possibly made was going in to CWM files in recovery mode and doing it from there ?
Anyways....its back with Samsung RC now so hopefully they can rectify back to normal . I hope they dont see all the root files etc in the SD card. This is Cambodia so I doubt they'll care.
They'll be fixing the screen i cracked a few weeks ago too. Dropped it and it chatter like a bullet hole. So....my note will be all minty when i get it back....albeit $180 later !!

Yes, i came from cambodia too, actually for that price over there it's quite expensive.
any way, good to know that some one from cambodia is using Galaxy Note, impressive!

EVERYONE is using the Note here. Especially the girls. They love it even though they can barely hang on to it
$180 is for the Screen only. I believe ill get the OS redone for free.

Yeah you really suck at following instructions since you didn't do anything correctly.
You saying it does not turn on is indeed unclear, since you mention right after "it does not enter into recovery mode". So if you made the distinction., one can wonder...
So if you can't turn it on at all, including download mode, your phone is hard brick and needs to go to RMA, and since it is not due to emmc bug obviously, rma can be refused by Samsung because if they investigate they'll see that you flashed a different recovery.
Sorry dude, it's just about how lucky you are now...

Here is the rub.
Samsung rang me yesterday and said the phone needs;
New Screen at $150
New motherboard at $150
New front camera at $25.
Ouch
However....
Apart from the cracked screen (which happened weeks ago) up until I rooted and then ****ed the phone with my atrocious attempt at flashing the new ROM....the phone was working with no worries at all.
Can I ask the techs here as I have no idea ;
Would the motherboard be a victim of the flashing attempt ? If so....I am in the wrong and will pay all monies. I am guessing it is directly related as the phone was fine until the flashing attempt. If not......would the shock from the fall weeks ago have caused a failure in the MB ? Or could that just not be related at all ?
Basically, I am wondering if i have a leg to stand on with trying to claim warranty on the MB ....When they contacted me yesterday there was no mention of the phone having been rooted " you have been a naughty boy !! ". Actually what they said was " you dropped your phone and now the motherboard is broken "
thanks

I guess.......and next time when you wanna root etc. just have the patience and read everything that is written here.
Never the less some phones are more durable in that matter ( i don't know why ). Some phones are like butter, 1st attempt and you are rooted. And with another you sweat like a pig and even then you can't do it right :laugh:

well
Well,
I hope it'll get better
thanx

Before bringing your phone to service you could try:
- a factory reset. Maybe the unsuccessfull rooting attempt has messed up something you can fix this way.
- flashing a RUU and see if the issue remains. This usually sorts out...

Fasching Kernel + Baseband only - Phone dead!

Hi
i had paranoid android installed but the baseband was the wrong one..
(I installed iHackers 4.1 without flashing kernel + baseband because then i landed in a bootloop)
When on ihackers i installed paranoid android 4.4.4 over it and it worked. But also like in ihackers
i could not connect to my network because of the wrong baseband.
So i downloaded C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf and flashed only the baseband without wiping anything..
Restarted .. baseband hasn't changed but the system booted and everything was fine.
Than i flashed only the kernel and the baseband without flashing anything else and wiping anything.
The phone went dead. Really dead. Power + vol+ which allways worked (3xvibrate) not working.
LED not working .. Just dead!!! i have it on the charger because before the last flashing it was @ about 15 - 20 % accu.
But even when i connect the charger .. no led .. nothing .. its playing dead.
Any Idea? (it is .. now that i remember .. not the first time a z1 went that dead on me.. I had a z1 before which did the same. now in retrospective I remember flashing kernel and baseband (ONLY) also on that phone.. and it went dead.
If somebody likes to trash his/her z1 try flashing only baseband and kernel. (I am sure the kernel and the baseband are the correct one for the firmware.)
Any ideas how to reanimate my z1?

You have flashed a stock kernel to a custom rom, so of course you will get a bootloop.
Solution, flash a stock FTF, after leaving the phone on charge for a few hours
and post your questions in the Q&A section

Cant get into flashmode or fastboot mode.. it does not react on any button combination

yes .. i pushed it several times and also for ab 12 sec. nothing happens.

This happened to me when I first got my Z1. Unfortunately I had to send my phone back to Sony which they ended up replacing the motherboard.
They won't be able to detect any custom firmwares. Waiting time is unfortunately about 14 business days once they receive it...
If you phone is unlocked be sure to let them know so you get an nck unlock code. You will have a new imei.

This is not a motherboard issue, it just needs charging for a few hours and then reflashing. Also he has lost his warranty due to unlocking so since this happened as a direct result of flashing custom roms he wont e able to claim on warranty

I understand this is not a motherboard issue, however the exact same problem happened to me months ago. Even after waiting overnight and trying to enter flash mode again it would not respond properly.
Sony's solution is to replace the motherboard at the repair facility I'm assuming because it is the easiest method.
I can almost guarantee this is what will happen when you send it in and they won't deny you warranty.
If you cannot get your phone into flash mode after a few hours, try again overnight. If not I would send it in, or get your carrier to replace it.
Repeat this magic phrase: "I updated my phone and it wouldn't turn on"

Hi,

No,
old version is .39, and the new from .108 is .51

Hey thanks for your answers @ all!!
The failure was that i flashed roms / ftf with very low battery. Than i charged for a few hours and flashed again .. and on and on.
At some point the accu seems to got broken.
I send it to a repair facility used by sony and they confirmed that the accu is dead.
It seems that i get a replacement. (on warranty)
Thank you again. ! SO!!! What we learn from this is "Only flash your device when its charged!"

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

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?

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 !

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.

Great to hear... Good luck from here on out!
This is a good sign not to listen to tech support. They don't know, or mess with this stuff, as much as us!
Happy flashing and hope no more scares from here on out...
