[Q] Phone will not power on after failed Odin restore

I decided to upgrade to Cog2.2beta5 from Cog2.1.4 today using ROM Manager. Everything seemed to go well but after install and reboot all I got was a black screen and subsequent reboots landed me at the same result.
So I thought restoring back to stock with Odin One Click from this forum, the one with all the ROM files built right in, was the best next step. I downloaded Odin and followed the instruction to the T and it got stuck at the PIT step. After a few attempts at it now my phone won't even power on. I've let it sit without a battery in for several minutes and even charged it on a wall charger for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. Still won't power on or respond at all.
I'm fairly new to all of this... Any ideas on what would cause a total melt down of the phone to the point of not even powering on? It has been flawless for me since launch.

Didi you download the drivers? also did you unplug the phone while doing the flash>/

pull battery sim and sd if you have one
Wait a minutes or so
plug in USB
hold vol up and down
put in battery
If the phone does not immediately go to download mode, you have a fancy paper weight that doesn't even weigh that much.

I did download the drivers and from everything I could see, my system and Odin recognized the phone without issue.
I had to unplug it during the process because the process froze in the same spot for well over an hour. I didn't see any other choice.

Guess it's a paper weight then because the phone won't power up at all let alone go into download mode.
Thanks for your time guys.

sounds like you might have done exactly what i did with my first captivate and yes it IS bricked! i know you will read "its impossible" to do that but i "thought" i followed the correct steps and flashed only a pit file. what it does is repartition your file system but apparently nothing is added after that...
not sure what steps you took on odin but it sounds like you got the same error i did and then the same issue so im going to assume the same thing has happened here...sorry matey

I had mine hosed for a while and this is what I did to get it back.
When it is unplugged and everything is out of the phone (sd, sim, batt) , hold the power button down for 10 sec, then release.
Put in battery, hold vol up + vol dwn, Plug into different usb port, Plug into phone.
That should get you into download mode

Mine did this too and the steps mentioned fixed it for me

I too accidently only wrote the pit file and it wouldn't do anything at all just blank screen . Make sure you remove everything open Odin one click, plug in your phone with the USB cable, hold down volume up and down and plug in battery it should start in download mode. It does work.

What did you try to flash with Odin? (with version, variant #, with/without bootloaders)
What was the Odin log?

nothing, no roms yet. i was in the first part of the instruction. this is what i follow
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
6. Be Patient, the first boot will take a while
where can i find the odin logs?

[Q] Help me please!!

I'm running Cognition v4.1 (yeah it's old but it was the first time I ever flashed a ROM)
A couple weeks ago I started to experience odd issues with my phone so today I went into recovery mode and formatted the boot,system,data, and sd_card portions then I wiped all the data (I removed my SIM and external SD prior to this) when I hit reboot the phone has been sitting on the AT&T World Phone screen for over 40 minutes now.
Can anyone help me fix this?!?

yup boot into recovery and flash a rom.
dont FORMAT system, or boot, that erases your rom. dont manually format stuff.
if anything ONLY DO factory reset, or clear cache, or delete delvik cache
---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------
oh you wiped your SD card, there go your downloaded roms....boot into recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB, plug in USB to pc and copy ROM.zip . UNMOUNT USB and then flash the ROM

This is what happens when a newb gets too much confidence.....
So since I was on a 2.2 ROM before I need to find another 2.2 to flash?

at least you knew and told us what you did. that got your phone back.

Okay so do you have any ROM suggestions? And if you have the time make it fool proof for me to get a ROM installed?
I can get into the Recovery menu and went to mount and usb but I couldn't see it when attached to my PC.....

1st question, DO YOU HAVE the gingerbread bootloaders yet?
if so you are able to go with any rom gingerbread or not.
if your phone didnt come with gingerbread and you have not had gingerbread on your phone (running) you DONT have them.
but you can get them and its a very palm sweating 10 seconds. LOL.
if you dont have them and dont want to go that far yet.. FIREFLY 3.0 (2.2 android) is THE BEST BY FAR in my oppionon and many others.
after selecting mounts ans storage, select mount USB from the bottom of the list, and it should pop up on your computer very quickly compared to when android OS is loaded.
then you should just be able to copy right over. if not the kernel you are using might have broken mounts. you will have to ODIN flash a different kernel...
start there...

I don't have the GB bootloaders I was going to go to stock today and get them and flash the new Fasty ROM but I'll give that a go and let you know how it turns out!

well you could flash one of the new gingerbread one-clicks WITH bootloaders.top of the dev page. " all one click packages " stickie thread,

Nevermind. I'm having trouble finding the correct drivers and where to get odin one click from..........
I got a different laptop from when I first flashed >_<

Okay I have drivers and Odin (didn't see it was at the bottom of the post) I followed the instructions and my pc doesn't recognize my phone (this is one of the problems I was having with my phone the last couple weeks was that even when turned off and plugged into pc the phone would just power on and not be able to connect.) I'm also on a windows 7 laptop I'm going to try it on my old XP desktop

And I installed the drivers and odin on my desktop same thing the phone was not detected after being put into recovery and plugging int the usb cable.

You use download mode not recovery for odin...
Open odin on the computer.
Pull the battery and remove your sim + sdcard.
Plug the usb into your phone and computer.
Hold down volume up and down, and put back in the battery.
You should be at a yellow screen saying "Downloading".
Then you can use odin/heimdall to flash stuff.

I can't get it into download, I do just as you say but it flashes the AT&T World Phone screen then goes black then flashes it again before going into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix

Dont touch the power button in that process

Okay I did it without holding the power button and my phone either tries to go into charging while being off (I presume I don't have both pressed) or when I feel like I have both pressed and insert the battery without touching the power button it just stays at the white AT&T World Phone screen =(

cant be in charging mode. if you see WHITE ATT screen YOU TOUCHED THE POWER.
odin must be open first.
unplug
take out battery.
put in battery with the screen black....
HOLD BOTH VOLUME buttons
put in USB
keep buttons held until you see yellow triangle.

No go. It's doing what it has for the last couple weeks as soon as the USB touches it regardless of the vol +/- being held down it goes directly to white screen.

Should I just follow this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434
I can't get any PC to notice my phone in any fashion and that's something that started happening a couple weeks ago

you said you flashed it from another pc before, have you tried that pc? and is it the ATT white screen or just a blank white screen?
that thread is talking about pure white screen

That PC is 2 hours away and when I gave it to my mom I formatted the drive and reloaded windows but here I have my Win7 laptop and a win XP desktop both are producing the same results as soon as the usb is plugged in it goes directly to the white ATT screen. I'm working on getting a video with my webcam to show exactly what is going on.

[Q] Is it bricked?

Phone locked up while using web browser. Turned it off. Pulled battery. Tried to restart. No powerup. Nada. It's rooted with Jocala's custom kernal on the stock, current-update ROM. CWM installed. Study these symptoms and comment on whether it is dead due to hardware or software fatal, unsolvable issues:
1. When I try to boot up by holding in power button and volume up button, nothing happens. It does not turn on and does not boot into recovery regardless of how long I hold those two buttons in.
2. When I try to do the factory reset trick of holding the volume up/down entire button pressed in (not power up or power down but the whole button pressed in) plus the power on button, the screen lights up with the SAMSUNG name in white, and then immediately the screen goes black and white letters up top read RAMDUMP MODE. Cause: Force Upload. That stays on forever and ever until I power off the phone or pull the battery, and the whole thing repeats if I try the process again.
3. I tried pulling the battery and holding in the power button for about 20 minutes and that didn't fix anything.
4. Booting by holding the volume-down button and power on boots into the "WARNING -- A custom OS can . . ." screen with the exclamation point in a yellow triangle , and I can use the volume up key to continue with the loading a custom OS, and when I do volume up, I get the ODIN Mode screen, the android robot icon and the words "Downloading . . . Do not turn off target!!" If I plug into my computer, the computer doesn't recognize the phone. When I plug it in with Kies turned on, Kies says it is trying to connect, but it never connects, even if I let it plugged into Kies for hours. I don't get a Kies error message, either.
I have tried all these tricks with SIM card in and SIM card removed. With MicroSD card installed and MicroSD card removed. I have tried spare batteries from my other phone that are good and fully charged. I have tried using different USB cables that work for data transfer on my other phone. Am I missing a trick? Is this patient dead on the operating table? Must I part with $175 to buy a new phone? Please, Android doctors, provide some patient consultation. Thanks.

I am going to assume you have the galaxy exhibit 4g t679? So when you plug it into your computer in Odin mode and then run the Odin program it isn't being detected? Do you have the USB drivers installed?

Yes, current drivers are installed on the computer. When you say "then run the Odin program," what do you mean? My plugging in process was simply to get into the Odin Mode and then I plugged it into the computer. At that point, in Windows Explorer, the computer did not recognize that an external device was plugged in. I would normally get a new F and D drive showing when I plug a phone in.
I am not aware of what this "Odin program" is that you mentioned. Please elaborate. After my initial root process, I have used CWM to flash zips off the microsd card and have not been plugging it into the computer to do things, so I might be deficient in my knowledge of what to do with the computer when the phone is in Odin mode. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

You are going to have to search for a guide on how to use Odin. There is a link to download the program here:

I am getting some hope. But since I can't boot the phone, I can't get in to make sure USB Debugging Mode is selected. Will this prevent me from connecting to ODIN? I found the ODIN download and the recommendation to also download drivers for DOWNLOAD, and I'll do that. But will the USB Debugging issue cause me difficulty? I can't get to this until this evening, so that's why I'm asking rather than just trying. Please advise. Thanks!

Using Odin without ROM saved to internal memory?
Will I be able to use ODIN to fix the phone if I haven't yet saved the replacement ROM to the phone's internal memory? The instructions I see for using ODIN all seem to assume that the phone is working and booting up, and they start with the instruction to save the new ROM file to the phone's internal memory. Since I'm trying to restore a bricked phone, without having the ability to first copy the ROM onto the phone's internal memory, what are the steps I will follow upon opening the Odin software and connecting the phone? Thanks again for the input so far. Maybe I can save this bricked phone (my girlfriend's phone -- so I will look like a true hero).

OK i see your confusion. On the wiki there are two types of ways to return to stock. One is through recovery, which i am assuming you can not get into. The second is the Odin way. If you can get to recovery that would be safer. I think the way that works for me is take out the battery, plug in USB, hold volume up and insert battery.

Odin is going to flash the stock ROM to the phone. You don't need to copy anything to it. The steps you need to follow are in the link I posted to the wiki.

Odin failed, now now powerup or ODIN or recovery
Oh, no. The ODIN factory restore failed, the phone did not reboot, but instead the screen went totally black. I let it sit plugged in five more minutes and nothing. I can't power it on, I can't boot into ODIN or recovery. Seems dead. Is this the end of the line?

Yes you probably have a hard brick, so return to T-Mobile or JTAG are your options but what did Odin say. Please go through the steps you took to restore it. I have odined maybe ten times and never had a problem.
Edit: did you select the ancora.ops and the tar one under one package?

Won't power on at all. Dead forever?
OK, so it won't power up and won't boot to ODIN or to recovery. No combination of button pushing does anything. Nada. Black screen. Is there any final trick to try? Or do I throw it away? I already bought a replacement (it's my girlfriend's phone -- same as my Exhibit -- so if I can fix it, we'll have a spare)

Send back to Samsung. They will replace it for minimal charges.

[Q] Boot loop with purple LED??

Hey guys,
A while back I tried to root my Xperia T and putting CWM on it. Something went wrong and I don't exactly know what. It went into a boot loop.
Every time it starts up, the LED turns purple for a couple of seconds and it reboots again. I waited for the battery to drain and honestly forgot about it.
Now i found it again and i want to get it out of the boot loop. The wierd thing is that I can get into ClockWorkMod recovery but nothing else. When in startup and I push VOL- it goes into CWM without a problem. It's like the normal firmware is missing and it can only get into CWM. Is this possible?
And i am trying to flash the stock firmware on it. But when i try to connect with my pc (drivers an flashtool in place and working) it doesn't really seem to connect. It worked 1 time out of the last 5 tries. But when i tried to flash, it said ERROR. The phone get's the blue LED when i connect it. but this only workes if my timing is exactly right in the boot loop. I will try to manage it again to get some screenshots.
I'll update when i have screenshots and everything (with the proper ERROR code)
In the meantime, does anyone have any clue of what is going on?
Thanks:good:,

Blue LED means you're in Fastboot mode, you need to put it into Flashmode (green LED) for it to work. If Vol Down puts it into Fastboot mode, then Vol Up would put it in Flashmode (I assume). Considering you're talking about timing, then it seems you don't know how to put it into Fastboot/Flash mode properly.
1.- Turn off your phone.
2.- Connect the USB cable to your computer
3.- Open Flashtool
4.- Press down the corresponding volume button (keep it pressed), and connect USB cable to your phone
Alternatively, you could also connect your sdcard to your computer and copy a flashable ROM to it, then flash it in recovery. It seems your /system partition/folder is either incomplete or damaged.

Hey,
thanks for the reply.
The problem is that i can't turn the phone off. The only way it stays off is when the battery is dead. Like it is now. I have just tried what you said. VOL- gives the green LED for flashmode. But even when it is in flashmode and connected with my pc(pc also said it's connected) it keeps rebooting. So the connection switches on and of every 30 seconds or so. I found out that there was a wrong file in the flashtool firmware folder. after trying to flash the standard firmware it tried to do something else. I've removed the file and set it up right.
When it was connected (green light and everything) I got this;
"09/025/2014 17:25:27 - ERROR - (Bundle.java:440) - Cannot delete C:\Flashtool\.\firmwares\prepared\system.sin"
"09/025/2014 17:25:39 - ERROR - (Bundle.java:440) - Cannot delete C:\Flashtool\.\firmwares\prepared\system.sin"
And that was all. I will try again in a few minutes, but maybe I missed something.
[EDIT]
Tried a few more times. VOL- to flashmode, connected with pc. Flashtool starts loading the green bar.
After a couple of minutes it stops and Flashtool says this:
09/021/2014 18:21:11 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:523) - Read error :31 : Een apparaat dat op het systeem is aangesloten, werkt niet.
09/021/2014 18:21:11 - ERROR - (X10flash.java:524) - Error flashing. Aborted
(Een apparaat dat op het systeem is aangesloten, werkt niet. -> English -> The device that is connected to the system, doesn't work.)
And the thing that irritates me most of all is the X10flash.java:52.. part. Why does it say X10flash when a Xperia T lt30p is connected en i'm trying to flash LT30_9.2.A.1.205_CH or LT30p_9.2.A.0.295_Generic IT.
I can't wrap my head around it.
I put some attachments in here so you can see what I see. Can someone see what I'm doing wrong or not doing at all?

I seriously do not know how or why. But i did it. Flashtool did not give a log or anything(with previous phones i saw a long list.) it looked like it did not do anything. but the phone is booting into android as we speak!
Thanks for the help Antiga Prime! not a lot, but enough!:laugh:
Now i need to find out how to delete all thisXD

Take the battery out and in, then leave it connected to the charger for one full day, don't do anything with it.

Xperia T doesn't let you take out the battery that easy. But it's fixed. I just need to know how to delete this thread

I believe I have soft bricked/hard bricked my LG G4 h811 . Can anybody help me?

Okay so I'm a newbie to rooting. And I was on this step where I let the tool install some files to my phone and it said to unplug and pull battery, the next step said to hold power and - volume down button and release power when I see the LG logo while holding the - volume down after a second quickly hold power and - volume down to access factory data reset and settings. So it restored my phone back to factory settings and no root, the video said to try again but the problem is that my phone will power on anymore and is unresponsive when I charge it. So I took the battery out for a min. and the phone turned on but got stuck on LG logo and freezes then it shut off. I tried to boot it up again on LG logo screen, the corner it says Secure booting Error
Error code: 1009
MODIFIED!
And it froze and shut off. Now whenever I try to boot it up it gets stuck on LG screen and shuts off or when I'm in factory reset it freezes when I press yes. I put it into download mode and try to install the LG G4 stock kdz file but my computer couldn't connect with my phone for example, I plug my phone into the computer via USB but nothing, no sound and no charge now it won't turn on at all. I hope this wasn't too hard to understand and I'll greatly appreciate any kind of help, thank you.
.

I wonder if LG or T-mobile is pushing an anti-root tool that hard bricks the devices. My device was working fine until this morning after my alarm went off - Mind you, I have been rooted since the root came out. I unplugged the phone, put it in my pocket, and it got really hot, then it does the same as yours; except, my phone shows bootloader:unlocked when i try to reset it. So, yeah, you are hard bricked. No recovery from what I hear. U got a paper weight. I do not believe any of the G2 or G3 fixes will unbrick our devices. I think it may need a jtag.

I don't think I could do that, since my pc can't connect with my phone. I plug my phone via USB to my pc but there is no connection
