[Q] Please help!! Galaxy s wouldnot turn on!

Hi there
Right now my Samsung Galaxy S wouldn't turn on.
Before this happened, I tried to flash DXJG4 on my device but ODIN got stuck at factoryfs.rfs for ages (more than 10 minutes). So I unpluged the device and took out the batterry. Then i inserted in the battery again and press Volume Down+Home+Power Botton (to get into download mode again). but nothing happens. Cannot even get anything to come up no matter what i press.
Im freaked out right now. Can somebody please help?
Edit : The screen comes back up now after a 30 minute darkness. phew!
Tried to flash again but still stuck at

any idea please?

nothing even comes up when i plug in the charger

Maybe try to download firmware again as well as pit file. Then try to flash it again. Its really hard to brick this phone. Of course I understand that you have usb drivers properly installed and you know well flashing procedure with odin.

wait, so it does not even turn ON at all?
it'll not be possible to flash anything if you can't even mange to turn it on
at the very least in the worse case scenario you should see this fail screen of a bad flash

you could try going into RECOVERY MODE first,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
then select the options to Wipe Cache, then Wipe Data
reboot,
now go back into Download Mode
and try to flash with Odin3 again
and make sure Check the box to REPARTITION

can you go into the download screen?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M
if you are able to go to that screen, then you can flash with Odin3 again

No, can't go into download or recovery mode

then, you wont be able to do much to fix it.
take it back to the store, tell them your computer rebooted when it was updating.

thank you

I had that problem also (the one from the picture)....
Don't take your phone to the store... =)
Just try this:
- Remove battery+sdcard+power cord+everything you can
- Press AND HOLD the "Volume Down" + "Power Button" combination
- Count to 3 and say "Cú da velha"
- Ask someone to plug in the battery
Welcome to download mode... I hope =)
tell me about it

Hello guys.
I just have one very weird problem with my phone.
Previously, i've been using the asian singapore firmware dxjf4. Today, I decided to flash over to JG5, but didn't like it. So i flashed back to my asian firmware.
What happened is, during the point of flashing, my phone says
E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
Then installation of firmware terminated. Therefore, my phone is still bricked, and I don't know how to revert it back to the asian firmware.
When i flashed the european jg5 firmware, i had to add in the .pit 512, the csc, the pda, and the modem. But for the asian firmware, i only need the pda. So did i flash incorrectly? please help!
Do i need to do a factory data reset before i flash?
Or is there a special way to flash from jg5 to dxjf4?
I wouldn't want another firmware as a solution, because the singapore firmware has specific features and i got certain carrier benefits from the 2 year contract phone line that could enable those specific features.
Thanks.

[Q] Movinand.mst....forever..

First time updating my firmware with Roto`s latest Full installl.. I followed the instructions to the letter.. yet everything goes well, but ODIN just is hanging on moviand,mst no errors, it seems to be doing something, I just dont want to unplug and be left with an orniment Been 10 minutes so far.

If you're still stuck, you can unplug it and start over. But before you do, jot down what the Odin log shows, so we can tell what got flashed up to the hang.
Also, post more info, like what firmware you were running, what brand unit, etc.

Will do.. Thank you sir.

roto's the man for any problems as always lol

I have a sch-i800 tab (verizon) at this point. Odin is waiting forever with movinand.mst
Any thoughts to unstick?

I am in the same boat with a Vzw Tab. Has there been any luck with anyone since Feb?

any fix for this?
I'm on a Verizon Tab and getting stuck at this part too. Been an hour so far. Does it take a long time? How do I fix it? Thanks in advance.

Still nothing on this???

just happened to me finally failed tab shut down and will not turn back on

I'm in the same boat. Trying to flash Roto-JMI-Fullv2 after a botched flash with CWM. Tab is currently showing the hone, triangle and PC screen, and Odin 1.70 is stuck on movinand.mst. My tab is a verizon unit.

Does anyone solved this movinand.mst freeze problem?

Ouch! Bricked mine too. Too bad that Tablet was really a nice device.
I guess when Sprint says they don't want your device updated you'd better listen.
I can't even get back to factory reset now.

Any update on this?
I am on the same situation:
Odin hangs at movinand.mst
Here's the log:
Code:
<ID:0/018> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/018> zImage
<ID:0/018> param.lfs
<ID:0/018> cache.rfs
<ID:0/018> dbdata.rfs

<ID:0/018> movinand.mst
<ID:0/018>
<ID:0/018> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tired out of curiosity to create a new package WITHOUT movinand.mst, and it flashes with no problems (but of course would't boot!)
So I guess the problem really is at movinand.mst?
Another theory: maybe it's not movinand.mst per se, but just that Odin hang after certain time, and being movinand the last one it happen to be there?
At a certain point I had to replace my USB cable. As I was in China when I bought the spare cable I cannot be sure about it's quality, maybe slower cable- causes odin's timeout?

seems the problem is actually movinand.mst
I created 2 copies of the .TAR, one with everything BUT movinand.mst, one with only movinand.mst. The first one loads with no problem, the one with movinand.mst fails.
With other fw (eg: XXJQ1) i get the same situation on hidden.rfs.
something wrong with these 2...

it's defintely me
I am having problems with all possible roms: i have tried JME, JQ1 and others, always something wrong happens at the end.
The best I can get to is to get to the flashing logo, but no boot.
I have tried chainfire's SGTBootloaderCheck-1.0 (while in recovery mode) and it tells me I am clean..
i dont know what to do, it doesnt look like a heavy brick, but I cannot get out of it!

Can you still enter download mode? try manually flashing factoryfs and kernel from a stock rom via heimdall.
That usually manages to get me out of a soft brick.

@will
I had the phone and pc screen to after a botched odin load. Its rather known as the "you suck at loading software" screen lol. Rest assured its just a soft brick if you can atleast get to it or see it so all hope isn't lost. Its another download mode screen basically.

Although mine is the tmo version relatively the basic mechanics should be doable.
I fixed mine by plugging it into the computer and once that screen comes on odin should detect it. It took a while so just be patient. Once odin shows the yellow com box have the pit and the roms tar file ready. Click Start and it should catch and load the rom. That's what i did and it got me back up and running.
If your battery is dead then just plug it in the wallcharger for 2hrs. Should give the battery enough charge to complete the procedure.
My advice is to find a stock Verizon GB rom with pit and tar files. After that just look for a custom kernel that gives cwm.
After that you can flash other roms once your back in action. Hope this helped a fellow gtab user ;-)

hi @Derrian, i can get to download mode.
I have tried many Rom's but all fail at either hidden.rfs of movinand.mst (depending their content).
Could you suggest me any ROM in particular you have tried?
Do You think it has to be THE original from brand (china unicom) or it can be any stock version?
thanks!

I would suggest using Boca, it is in my opinion the easiest to flash.

I cannot flash the Base ROM

I am reading Boca's instructions for the first time.
If I understand correctly, the bases are the same as Overcome: the assumptions is that you install the ROM using CWM recovery of a clean and working GB_Stock_safe_v5 install, then flash OC's kernel to convert FS to ext4.
But in my case I cannot Flash GB_Stock_safe_v5, as Odin would fail at hidden.rfs.
I am not sure that is a good idea to change FS formatting on a semi-bricked tab as mine?
Could I revert back if something goes wrong?

Unbrick Note from wrong ROM

I accidentally flashed wrong ROM (SII CheckROM) on my Note and now it has stopped booting. IT is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 screen and screen starts misbehaving.
I cannot goto CWM recovery all I can still make it to is Stock recovery. How can I Unbrick this state?

Are you able to get into download mode? (Power off, then power on holding VolumeDown + Menu + Power all together until the screen comes on?)
Then you'll be able to flash a rom via Odin...

if you can get into download mode, which is what i assume you mean by stoke recovery you can flash the rom using odin on the pc

I have the same problem, I accidentally flashed a galaxy s2 kernel, and my screen misbehaves after logo. Now, I can't get into download mode since it says low battery. I've been trying to charge it with wall charger, even though back cover gets warmer, it still says low battery. I've purchased an Anker universal charger, left the battery overnight, nope still no luck, should I buy a new battery ?

Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume

odd note
hello all,
my case was a bit different, after the ics leak, i rooted and flashed rocketrom without problems, then i flashed kriskelo also without problems but wanted to go back to rocketrom, the problem is that the device got stucked in the galaxy note gt 7000 screen with the rooted triangle after i tried to recover rocketrom via cwm, i have back ups from all the roms, lcy, rocket and kriskelo except from the GB but the phone doesnt boot, i tried odin but it get stucked in the "network connecting" and it doesnt go far...im downloading now the stock gb and will try the antiguangenius way, just a small question, do i have to flash only the bootloader (file attached in the post} and then the stock rom or just the stockrom directly in the pda? what is the nt7000 bootloader file?
extra info, my phone enters in cwm recovery without problems, and if i connect the usb on it with the galaxy note gt7000 screen, i get the yellow flag ( i assume is the download mode, isnt it?) so its not completely bricked, i see all the menu from cwm and can also recover, but it wont boot anybody could help? im afraid how much it would be bringing it to the SSC...
thanks in advance

Sorry with all due respect, how can one accidentally flash a SII rom onto a N7000 or a N7000 rom onto a I717? Do you people think we all are stupid because we don't flash roms that were built for other devices onto our Notes? Why don't people think before they flash? I mean it's known that men cannot think clearly when they see a naked women with big b.... but I did not know that this effect also takes place when they see a phone and a rom

Help with brick please

Hey all,
As per title, A while back I rooted and installed a few custom roms on my unit before sticking with one named
"GT-7000_SweetROM_V11.1_LTA" and all was going well until a "super user" app update and a "low battery" met in the middle and my phone lost power and turned off.
Now my phone will not boot and freezes on the samsung logo, pressing vol up + power + home will, not bring up the recovery mode
but vol down + power + home will take me to a download screen, Odin, if my research is right.
I've read a few posts with the same symptoms as me but with different reasons for getting there in the first place and I'm unsure of what to do.
If my reading has been correct I'm not hard bricked but am in a bit of a spot and PC Odin can help me out, but then there are different versions of Odin as well.
Just some more bits and peices that I can think of to try and give you all as much info as possible. here goes,
I do remember Philz ???? something on my phone and was able to switch between roms by placing them on the external micro sd card and using vol up + power + home to navigate a menu.
Whilst writing this post I have had my unit plugged in via usb and it justs sits there with the battery icon showing but it shows no movement ie: the little cirle will not spin nor will the green charge level go up. Also it tried to install "mobi" something onto my pc.
Another problem I'm having is finding a valid download link for PC Odin any help there would be cool.
If you need anymore info I'll do my best but I'm very new to this, many thanks
E2A: have downloaded Odin and phone is reconized there just need to learn how to use the Prog

Download and flash PhilZ kernel 15.5 odin version. Flask on via odin (put it in pda tab and flash) and see if you can get your phone working again or can get into recovery. If not download and.flash whole stock jb rom. There is also a ltc rom odin version recently posted in one of the two dev threads.
As how to use odin for note, find the famous sticky thread by dr.ketan in our n7000 forum.

Yeah low battery which doesnt seem to be charging acording to the widget but I can enter download mode whilst plugged in to usb but not recovery
just for info my phone acts the same wether plugged into comp or the wall socket with samsung hardware
guess Im screwed eh?
thanks

I would try a new battery.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I'm sure the battery is fine it's the phone thats mucked up, I've not had any problems to idicate my battery was failing
Are there any other avenues I could explore? I'm willing to get a new battery but then I could have 1 phone and 2 dead batteries and no way of charging.
When I tried flashing PhilZ kernel and the jb rom with Odin it was Odin that did its thing then reported to have failed, the phone had power to it the whole time and was showing the download screen with the message "do not turn off target".
thanks for you help so far

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> PhilZ-cwm6-DDLSC-ODD-5.11.2.tar.md5 is valid.

seems to be hanging on a connection

1. Install the latest drivers from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956/
2. Reboot
3. Disable all antiviruses
4. On your phone:
a) Boot into download mode
b) Plug your phone into your PC (only plug it into the USB 2.0 ports, don't do it on 3.0 or 1.1 or 1.0 etc.)
c) Follow the on screen instructions saying something along the lines of "Press volume up to continue" - you want to continue
d) Check whether Odin has detected your phone, if it has continue to step 5
5. Flash a stock ROM or kernel
6. If it succeeds, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset <= ONLY IF IT ISN"T ICS

OK.. Odin is not able to get to the PIT mappings.. There seems to be some connection issues. Check with newer version of Odin.. Also probably a different pc.

done all of this with same result, as soon as I try to flash ROM Odin waits a while then reports fail
Tried with latest version of Odin, 3.07 and that just sits at 'SetupConnection' in the dialog box

Thanks for input guys

I got that mobogenie rubbish by accident once too, it came with daemon tools.
Can you perhaps try those steps on another computer?

I do have an old lappy but it has Ubuntu installed and that drives me nuts lol, only other option is to put Odin plus Rom onto memory stick and visit a friend..
You said something about PIT and Ive seen some posts on it, I guess that roue is last resort?
really appreciate you help here

If there is a proper connection, then odin should be able to get the partition mapping from the phone and will be displayed as
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/004> Initialzation..
<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

and if I cant get a proper connection (I can't, Odin never gets past SetupConnection) Im doomed?

That's why try on a different pc.

There is no revert back to 4.4.2. What you've linked to is jelly bean. And there is no going back there. What is your issue exactly?

Have you tried either pulling the battery or holding the power button for about 15 seconds to boot back into system? ? Or is there no system to go back to? Which there should be with stock recovery.

Battery pull shuts off phone then I put it back in and it just goes to download mode. if I hold the power button for 15 seconds it just boots back into download mode. It is stock recovery.

Uh oh. This is beyond my comprehension. I don't know how this happened with a stock recovery. Hold tight and someone else should be able to help better than I can. What were you trying to do when this happened?

All I can think to do is boot into recovery and hit reboot system. Then let it sit. It usually takes mine about 5 mins from there. We can't use odin and without safe strap there is no flashing a replacement rom.
If you can get to att boot screen give it as long as you can to boot

Don't have any of those options, all I have is the download screen. Knox isn't tripped and it still says Official

That's crazy. From a dead phone if you hold volume up home key and power button in that order you can't get to recovery? I don't mean to state the obvious but I don't know how familiar you are. I've had 8 note 3s and I've never been in a spot where I can't get to recovery.

Im sorry. I thought I'd take a crack at it. I don't know where to lead you from there. I wish you the best. I've bricked a few phones myself.
I hope you get it resolved. SOMEONE here will be able to help you.

I sent you a PM if you could look at it, it may help.

I'm in the exact same situation and have been trying everything that's been posted but still no success. I'm going to hangout here and see if we can find something that can be done or point us in the right direction. Just letting you know you're not alone on this bud

Hey guys. Check out my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65467618&postcount=6, read through everything and start at step #4 where you flash the NC2 stock image in the odin AP slot, this should get your phone working again. After that feel free to continue to follow the steps to root, etc. Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll do my best to continue to help.
As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is fine. I've went out of my way testing these to try and permanently brick this phone. I even got it to stop being detected by a computer while in download mode and was still able to recover.
Best of luck

I have a question and I hope someone is still reading through these threads. I have a Galaxy Note 3 AT&T SM-N900A. When I bought it a couple weeks ago, (I already own another one but a T-Mobile variant, to which I've had no issues) I wanted to root it. So I did. Then I removed some system apps. Then I realized I wanted to update it since it was only 4.3! Well OTA was out of the question and so was KIES as I rooted. SO I thought it'd be best to unroot and flash stock firmware and continue to update via OTA. That has not happened. Every time I try to flash stock firmware, regardless of the version of Odin, regardless of where I downloaded the firmware, I always get a fail!!! NOTHING WORKS!!! I even unistalled KIES, reinstalled drivers, tried different USB chords, including the one that came with the phone!!!! I just want to get it back to it's original state so that I can update it via OTA or KIES. I'll paste the ODIN message and a thumbnail that has a screenshot of my phone in download mode when ODIN fails. If ANYONE can help in ANY WAY, I'll donate!!!!! I'll do almost anything!! This is driving me crazy and I'm not one who likes to admit defeat and bring it to Best Buy, especially since Best Buy is over an hour away from here!!! There has to be a way I CAN do this! Here is the ODIN fail message:

Odin may be failing because the bootloader on the phone may be newer that the bootloader you are flashing.

So I need to root it again first, then update it to Lollipop using this guide, correct?

Rooting has nothing to do with installing recovery, boot loader, or ROM.
You are using the wrong file for your phone.
