Hi there,
I think I have flashed an incomplete downloaded rom on my phone in CWM and has now messed up my phone, i made a nandroid back up to my external SD card before the process. After flashing i then tried to restart my phone from philz touch latest version and my phone is now in a bootloop. I cant enter CWM again and cant enter either flash mode or fast boot mode - evey time I plug in my USB cable the LED turns red straight away even though i hold the volume up/down button.... I have tried to do this several times and even after hard resetting it - anything i could do now without flash mode or fastboot working - maybe ADB or something
Thanks

It says error device not found and then waiting for device during the boot loop - even though a red light comes up on LED when i plug in USB cable from pc and then the bootloop just starts again
Should I wait for it to charge to nearly full battery before trying again?

Since i live in Brazil and here the galay s i9000 version is much different then our captivates and there is any place where i could try to fix my captivate i´ve decided to donate US$ 50,00 for who helps me fix my phone.
Here is exactly what happened:
I was already on cognition 2.3b6 but decided to flash back to stock and flash it again to 2.3b6 since i´ve never flashed back to stock and sincer i installed the firts custom room.
I installed the stock version usin odin 3 ( the files from cognition download threat ) and i didnt disabled lag-fix netheir deleted any folder or anything at all.
The installation to stock was succesful, then i used one click root installed the rom manager and selected the 2.3b6.zip
After rebooting it went to recovery screen as usual.. i selected the reinstall packages options and it reboot again, now it stuck some time on the at&t logo ( never had the voodoo voice ) ...and the rebooted again..
and here is the part where i know i was stupid
this time it entered on clockwork recovery mode then i tryed to backup and mount and it came back again to clockwork recovery mode... then i decided to wipe data and cache... then to format my sd card ( stupiedest point ! )..after i tryed to install packages again and after reboot it stayed like it is now
without the usb cable... if i turn it on it goes to at&t logo screen then it flashes on at&t logo... and then boot on recovery mode.
if i put the battery...plug the usb cable and try to turn it on.. the phone doesnt go to at&t logo.. it just stays on the charging mode.
i already tryed all download modes and none of them worked...
here is the list of things i´ve already ordered from sparkfun if i need to build that JIG thing...
1 - $10.95 - COM-09258 - Resistor Kit - 1/4W
1 - $3.95 - BOB-10031 - USB MicroB Plug Breakout Board
other info:
when i get on the at&t logo or recovery mode odin recognizes the phone as a com 4... so i cant flash it with odin...
and when i try to reboot on download mode using adb i receive an error msg " [1] segmentation fault " when i try to get the SU
any help ?
Can you still get to clockwork recovery?
If you can still get to cwm, download this http://www.ponack.net/designgears/JH7_OTA.zip and copy it to your external sd card, and try to flash it.
For download mode did you try:
1. Start odin
2. Remove battery from phone
3. Plug usb cable into phone
4. Hold down both volume buttons
5. Put battery back in while holding both volume buttons

If it's still on the internal sd card and you can get to recovery, choose the option "reinstall packages" it should do something and then it may kick you back to recovery 2e and then try one more time.

Search for instructions on building a jig. It is a device that forces download mode, you need a spare cable our connector to cut up and some resistors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512

so my only hope is tat jig thing ?!
if yes i will stay a while without my phone =/
Wait so what happens if you have odin one click open, then unplug usb, pull battery, then put the battery back in and then plug usb in while holding both volume buttons. That's usually the surefire way to get download mode.

No.. the Battery trick should work. If your getting the battery charging while the device is turned off and the USB is plugged in that battery trick should work.
I've horked my phone harder then you have an still managed to get back into download mode.
The trick is remove the sim/sdcard and battery.
Plug in the USB
Then jam the battery back in.
Also.. if it's looping at the ATT logo you might have it up enough to do ADB commands.
See if your computer is recognizing the device. - ADB Devices - If it returns a value then you can just do:
Adb reboot download.
And Odin 1-click as normal to restore it.

it keeps frozen on the charging circle ( the grey circle doesnt keep moving )
I'd try pulling the battery again - it takes a few times to try and get it.
But.. I would try doing the ADB commands and see if you can get it into download that way.

Hi everyone,
After trying to flash the latest SlimBean rom on my Galaxy S, I ended up with a boot loop and no more recovery mode. I can always access to the Download mode but my computer doesn't recognize my phone when I plug it in, so I can't flash a new kernel to retrieve the recovery (thing that I had already successfully done before). When connecting the phone to the PC, no sign of life, no noise, no new device in the device manager... Tested on another PC, same thing (I did not test with another cable though, it could come from there, but it is doubtful). Drivers are up to date, it works with other phones.
I also tried with Heimdall, nothing appears in the USB device list relating to my phone (not surprising though).
I saved my GS a lot of times before, but this time I am stuck with this... Any idea or it is just hopeless ?
Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work !
Are you sure no recovery as you need to flash it twice due to partition changes make sure you hold volume down home and power until the screen flashes then let go of them its guaranteed to get recovery if its there
Sent via that ninja standing right behind you
Yes I'm sure, if I hold down-home-power I can access to the download mode. If I hold up-home-power (like I used to do to enter the recovery mode) it just keeps boot looping.
OK well you will need to try a different computer I guess one that detects your phone

Nothing....it just died. no lights, no vibrations, no nothing...I have tried all the combos with the vol buttons and the power.
I think I'm in the same boat. Flashed the latest PA then reboot just stayed on black screen. Holding power causes short vibrate every couple of seconds. Connected to PC and able to boot into fastboot mode. Is my best recovery method to just flash the latest ftf?
Its most likely a kernel issue. Flash the kernal you need for that rom
is it ok in mode flashtool ? (vol- , power, plug in) if yes flash an official rom ftf by flashtool
try holding VOL+ and Power button for 10 sec then try entering fastboot or flashmode
same problem but my xperia vibrates but not open

By using volume down and power you can boot to fastboot and then try flashing the Rom using fastboot method
Second if you find other max 2 , you can restore the partition from other max 2, partition you have to restore are boot , system, system image, cust ( dont restore efs ,firmware partitions

Did you tried volume - and power button to get into fastboot.
If your device boots you can also try adb method to boot into bootloader ( fastboot)

is there somewhere we can chat?
https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/94776/discussion-on-question-by-need-help-mi-max-2-soft-bricked check this up theres also one guy whos helping if you want to help just use this.
I believe i've royally screwed up and i want to know if there's anything I can do to save my phone.
I downloaded the latest BeyondROM from here after being on a previous version for about a year (not sure which one I was on):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...evelopment-exynos/rom-beyondrom-v6-0-t4017921
I flashed the zip file through TWRP and only after flashing did I realize that I was on TWRP 3.3.1-11 and not 3.4.0-3, which I'm guessing is why my phone is now stuck on the boot logo when I boot it. I went back into TWRP and cleared the Dalvik & standard cache again after this but no dice.
But it gets worse. I then tried to upgrade to 3.4.0-3 by flashing it from TWRP 3.3.1-11 using the recovery partition, hoping to reflash the firmware after doing so.
After doing this and my phone rebooting, not only am I stuck on the boot screen, but now I can no longer enter recovery mode either by holding Bixby + Vol Up + Power. My phone isn't recognized by my PC or Odin now either.
Is my phone completely bricked, or is there a way to salvage this mess i've made?
Could really use some help.
Thanks guys.
If you can go to download mode, try re-flashing the stock Samsung firmware via Odin.

Thanks for the suggestion, however that's my primary issue. I can't get to download mode (which really should be recovery mode since I have TWRP).
Do you think it could be an issue with me rebooting to recovery mode after upgrading TWRP using TWRP itself? Maybe my phone needs to be hard powered off once to access TWRP again?
And since I have that failed ROM install, the only way to power off the phone would be to wait for the battery to drain.
Power+volume down+Brixby goes right into download mode bypassing the recovery

My phone just keeps restarting when Power + vol down are held. Looks like draining the battery didn't help either. I'm stuck on the boot screen even when plugged in with 0% battery. When I remove the USB Cable and hold Vol down + Power, the phone seems to turn off because there's no battery, but immediately after plugging in a power cable, the phone automatically turns on by itself again.
You can try this, but best not to flash anything without charging battery first. You can charge while phone is off:
