[Q] Big problems with my Galaxy....Help needed!!

Since yesterday my Galaxy S got stuck. It doesnt start anymore.
What happened?
I flashed my rom to the newest ICS. Everything went well and I used it a couple of days. Yesterdaymorning I did wiped the battery stats and cleared the Davik cache. I rebooted and it got stuck in the bootscreen.
I tried to got in recoverymodus but that was not possible. Bootscreen was all I saw.
Then I tried the downloadme. That is working BUT odin did not see my phone and KIES did also not recognize it. I have the right drivers. When my phone was working it was also not recognized because I am afraid the USB port is not good anymore.
Does anyone have tips?

can you go to recovery?

unfortunately not.
if i do the 3button trick the sreens stays on the bootscreen.

Change your drivers to the Nexus drivers in OP of TH ICS thread and try a different USB port.
Once in odin flash the initial CM7 kernel without reboot then go into recovery and reflash CM9.

installed nexusdrivers.
still nothing happens.
any other suggestions?
thx for the help!!!

Different USB port?

tried all 4 and another laptop
also used different cables.
almost start crying

-prereq-
install samsung drivers for your device and windows install type (x32/x64). It's quite important that you install 64 bit drivers on a 64 bit box and not 32, because they are ****ty and work 7/10 times used.
1. be sure to use the same port.
2. be sure to use ONLY the original cable that came with your phone
3. Make sure your phone is able to enter download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
if it does, it should install your drivers without issue about then.
4. If you can't use odin to restore your pda/csc/modem, then use heimdall. If that fails, you need to commandprompt heimdall into flashing with 512.pit + required files (refer for help to the heimdall readme included in their install) file after unpacking pda,modem,csc into the heimdall commandline exe.
If 4 does not work you need to unbrick it via 1clickbrick. It's a jar file you donwnload, dblclick and use.

thx for trying to help me. but I am afraid my USB port (mini) on my galaxy is not working. Tried 4 computers, several drivers but stil no connection possible.
Any other suggestions?

Had the same problem on Windows machines - for some reason two of my Windows powered computers stopped recognizing my phone. Tried different drivers for no effect, so I gave up and tried it on linux and successfully flashed new kernel using heimdall.
I don't know if this is a legitimate solution because it's like going around the problem instead of solving it, but if everything else fails, try different operating systems.

try charging it..does it charge?
if it doesnt then go in a service and ask them to take a look at it.they will do that for a pack of cigarettes in their extra time.if its fixable and cheap(dont think of replacing the entire motherboard...sell this one for parts and buy another one, or find one with broken display and take em both to a service and tell them to replace the screen from your phone to the other)

Brick or what?

Hi guys,
In my hands come SGS which cant boot up, same trouble like in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsGuKUv_s2s&feature=related
but my SGS bootloopin´ this.I have instaled Kies, and shut down Kies and Kies tray agent(Only for Driver to ODIN).But it didnt work, so i have linstaled another drivers, and nothing new.Phone boot up to download mode without problems, but cant boot up to recovery.I have to try tutorial with download mode(Like with JIG) without JIG and didnt work.So what must i do to save the phone?Thanks for all answers.

Not really clear but if you can get into download mode and Odin recognizes phone then flash new firmware. But I suspect you are saying Odin isn't detecting the device.

Buy usb jig on ebay, put it in downlaod mode and reflash some stock kernel. It should do the trick.

if you were flashing an ics based rom you need nexus s driver's on the PC for Odin to see your phone as the stock Samsung one is no use now.

I`m in trouble
Hi guys.
I can`t make my windows 7 recognize the SGS...I`ve already tried the USB_samsung drivers, even for Nexus...but the error 43 always appears.
I can turn on the phone in CWM but anything can be done, always data problems...so I only can put it on Download Mode, but I can`t download anything, the Odin doesn`t have a Comm Port communication.
I was restoring for Factory Default when it happens...I was using the MyUltimate 1.3...after I flashed the ICS RC 4.2...and now anything works.
Sorry about my English...I`m Brazilian.
I really appreciate any kind of help.

picture of my problem
I forgot to post a picture of the CWM messages...it`s attached...thanks a lot

Does anybody know if doing a JIG download, like if the device was bricked wouls resolve?

Another problem with odin...

After following this tutorial:http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...-unbrick-mini-s5570-bricked-black-screen.html everything went right until the close-to end step. Odin doesn't install its self-driver and is still stuck at setup connection for 6 minutes so I closed it. Can you help me? I just got this device since 2 days ago I followed EVERY step on that site except I changed from vol dn+home+power to vol up+dn+home+power because odin won't recognize the device on normal download mode, it will discover only in emergency download mode. This problem once occured to me on Galaxy Ace and now the Mini, too. Sent the previous device to service but I'm too lazy to take Mini to that place.

Hi to everyone.:
I'm from Chile and i have an SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE, model M.
The last night, i install the GREAT Kernel of Mr.Baugis, but i have a BIG PROBLEM.!
I don't now my brother did, but I think it went to recovery mode and made some adjustments(tried to install an android, I think) and restart the phone.I turn on, says the phone model and not pass the screen "Rafael.Baugis Kernel" I have waited up to 10 minutes to do something but nothing.
Really, i need help. I love this cellphone and i need it to work
PS: if the issue is not going here, Move it please
PS2: Sorry for the bad english

Did you try clear data/factory reset and clear the dalvik cache? If you did and still end up in a bootloop, flash a new rom. If that did not work too, flash the default stock firmware through Odin. Hope it helped

If you are able to get your phone in download mode (volume up + volume down + power) then simply follow any guide from this section explaining how to flash multipackage stock firmware. If ur phone is not getting detected in odin, that is also explained in multiple threads here. As long as u can get the phone in download mode, you should be able to fix the problem. Let me know if u still need exact directions

I had the same problem like you have.
At first you must uninstall Samsung Kies and install these http://www.mediafire.com/?n412p5v6golq4sn official USB-Driver from Samsung.
Start Odin 1.85 and Run it as Admin if you have Win7. Connect your Ace and check if your device get displayed in Odin.
Then go into the download mode and flash your firmware.
If you can't get into the Download Mode you must buy a USB-Jig from Amazon or wherever.

thanks

Brick Samsung galaxy mini 2

Hy friends.
Last month I flashed stock ROM. I rooted it and I installed cwm. Two weeks ago I did a factory reset from settings, and it doesn't boot. I can enter in cwm and in download mode, but my PC doesn't recognise it. I have drivers installed, Samsung kies etc, but it still doesn't recognize it.
Please, can someone help me?
Sent from my ST21i using xda app-developers app

That's mean your phone is not bricked. Try to reinstall the drivers. Go to download mode and enter it. Run Odin 3. It doesn't matter if Odin not detect it as GT-S6500 for example Odin detect it as T/(V) or any other random word. Click PDA and flash the stock rom or flash CWM.

I try to reinstall drivers, even on 3 computers, but it said that USB device was not recognized., so Odin can't see it.
Edit: I have cwm from gt s7500, can someone upload one for mini 2?

It's probably stupid idea, but did you try another USB cable, because I was in similar situation and after bunch of drivers installed on several computers i found that the problem was in the USB cable. Tried another USB cable and it worked like a charm. At least it worked for me.

I didn't try that, I will try it later, now I'm on a trip with my family and then I have just my tipo.

It may also seem stupid, but you could try Heimdall, an Odin-like software, that may recognise your device, or you could even make sure that when you install the drivers, you should right-click on the .exe file and run as administrator. It worked for me once.

I suggest you change usb ports or use another cable

this is not a brick, i'm not sure what's the problem... did you install drivers?? did you try with odin 3.04 and 1.85?

Drivers are ok, my friend's mini 2 is recognized. Now phone won't boot (charged it for three hours)

Unfortunately I have the same problem :| it is called Recovery-loop and I started to try to fix it about one month ago or more. Now i am trying to send a PM to @thewisp with the problem and for that I need 10 posts Did you asked him about this problem? He is the most active developer for this phone and he might know what we should do .
When I will fix it (i hope soon) i will tell you every step that i made so you will fix your phone too.

I was afraid of jumping to custom roms because of bricking my phone but after learning how to do it I didn't think it was possible to brick your phone. Well I guess it is.
As you probably have tried every trick there is, your best bet is if the dev knows how to solve it.
But if you can enter download mode and odin does not see the phone, and drivers and cable are ok, it will be hard to fix if possible.

you're right. There is really LOW chance of bricking your device by installing custom ROMs. If you develop customs ROMs, then it is easy to brick you device.
this bug is not called "recovery-loop". This has been fixed in the latest CWM builds for Mini 2, it's your own problem if you haven't upgraded yet.
Anyway, I had a similar problem once, odin just wouldn't recognize my device whatever I do.
This worked for Mini 2:
1 ) unplug USB cable
2 ) Power off device
3 ) Start it in download mode, press volume up button to continue. Do NOT plug in USB cable.
4 ) Open odin as administrator
5 ) Plug in USB cable
if this still doesn't work, try rebooting Windows and try again. Should work.

I think is hard brick, because phone won't charge now, it' s dead.
Thanks for all replay and thanks TheWhisp, but i don't know what i can do.

Get the battery out, wait 1-2 minutes, press power button for 30 seconds (while the battery is out !) then put the battery in and try to start it in download mode (Vol - + Home + Power) ! Worked for my hard brick , the phone won't start not even when charger plugged...

hey man try this method:
1. Battery out. 4secs or more. Battery in (Remove SIM card and SD Card to be saved)
2. Volume DOWN + Home + Power Button. Hold it EXACTLY 5 SECONDS!
(NOW YOU IN DOWNLOAD MOD)
3. You will see or hear nothing! but remember you are there!
4. After when you got in download mod if you remember you need to "Press Volume UP" to confirm it. So press Volume UP and wait 2 seconds
5. Connect your mobile to the PC (Desktop ODIN Running). You will hear the sound. Which mean your phone connected.
6. Flash any stock firmware as you like....
Good Luck!
