Info From the masters needed - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

short story usb port is messed up , unplugged phone one day and a tiny piece of the phones contacts came out and was still attached to end of the usb cable
received replacement phone today but I need to return to stock firmware on this device , I've already wiped and reset defaults but now im in twrp and cant get stock firmware to install, in twrp I click install , I see my file
G900W8VLU1AND1_G900W8OYA1AND1_RWC.zip
but when I flash it just says failed
I've tried re downloading and tried another file as well , any help ? , just need to get anything on here atm so I can ship the device back.
obviously I cant use odin as the usb port doesn't work, and I now have no os on the device.

anyone ? , like to get this unit shipped back to provider asap

I'm not sure if its still around or if it works... But there was an Odin app that allowed you to flash things, as long as you were rooted of course

This is AT&T Samsung S5 forum so I assume you have this phone. If you do this is wrong file and if you even have correct file and your phone is on newer firmware you can't flash older firmware just like that do to lock bootloader. There is guide how to downgrade in general AT&T Samsung S5 forum.

OK so if you can get into download? If you can then its a matter of getting Odin to see the phone - which really means getting windows to recognize the phone. This would mean that odin does not light up in one of the com ports.
If this assumption is right, make you have the latest drivers (see other posts - I had a link in another post so if you look for my posts you'll find it), reinstall kies (but do not have it open), clean the usb port/cable on the phone and computer with alcohol just to be sure (that was my old issue and it takes forever to troubleshoot), then put into download with jig (I assume you start with a battery pull?). If you've done the kies/drivers thing (good chance if your asking on this forum - just try the cleaning).
You can also try various different usb ports - the theory is the one at the back of a desktop work best but my laptop ones seem fine (now - see cleaning above).
I know this is not that step by step it sounds like your trouble is the connection not the steps as you have already attepted the flash.
If still not working , try to vary the connect order (odin first, then connect or reverse etc).
From there follow a good odin guide and flash a full stock firmware to start (presumably your official one).
I believe you are only truly dead when you cannot get to download mode.
Good luck!
Thank you for taking the time to send that post ; one last thing ... any thoughts on getting my sgs to "day 1" , like before all the trouble I was stock eclair 2.1,Vodafone,blah,blah ; how do I get back after formatting both my internal + external , I'm presuming I've erased my stock FW?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I think you also got similar advice to mine on another post. Don't worry about going to day 1 with eclair. If you flash a stock froyo firmware with odin you'll have a phone like it came out yesterday. Now, it will also likely be unrooted and maybe locked (I'm not unlocked so I'm not sure about that part).
So once you get to the stock firmware you'll need to root again and maybe unlock (stock is stock after all). You may want to just try Darky's resurection rom (for Odin use)
, link here, which should make your phone faster and keep you rooted and unlocked.
If you don't care about root etc, then I think stock is fine as long as it doesn't lock the phone to another provider (use the search function in the forums). One warning is once you know how to change things (and recover) you might spend hours trying to play with the custom roms just because you can .
Good luck in the AM

Can't connect to pc

Bought this Galaxy S yesterday
I cant get it to connect to my pc
i have done the following.
-installed and reinstalled Kies several times
-Installed and reinstalled drivers several times
-Tried 4 different usb cables
-Tried in USB debugging mode
My phone connects to the pc and then i get a message that my phone is not recognized (windows error 43)
The phone does charge . I have tried all of the options like Samsung Kies , Mass storage , Media player
Nothing seems to work when i select media player option the mpt application starts to crash , i have read on forums that if the mtp crashes i can just select mass storage mode but when i select mass storage mode my pc says device not recognized
When i checked the Build info it says on Kernel Version 2.6.29 [email protected] #4
Firmware version is 2.1-update-1

I'm trying to see if the issue gets resolved after upgrading the firmware
My computer detects the phone but says there is something wrong with the device
So i guess Odin will also be unable to detect it

Are you absolutely sure that the guy sold it coz he WANTED to, & not coz he HAD to??
It's quite probable that he damaged it & then since can't fix it, so sold it away!
Anyway, Try factory reset!
If that doesn't work,
Use the Volume DOWN+Home+Power button combo to get into DOWNLOAD MODE, THEN see if the PC detects a device connected. With all those drivers, it should.
If it does, then you can go ahead & flash it using Odin, or EZOdin

My phone was stuck on an infinite reboot once. I didnt have a Nandroid backup so I used this tutorial:
http://enzag.com/technology/android/how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-to-gingerbread-2-3-6/
You will be reverted to a stock rom and you will lose your root. You can change the firmware in the guide with whichever firmware you want. It makes no difference

If its not entering either download mode or recovery mode, you will have to take it to the service center. You have bricked your phone.
Send it to the service center and don't mention them that you are rooted and they will replace your motherboard and give it back to you!!
They will do it for free if you have warranty. I had mine repaired just like that. I had also bricked my device with Rom Manager before!!
You have already posted this in the general thread why have you posted it in accessories?
Using rom manager can hard brick your phone the only option would be to take it to service center , say that it broke when updating through kies.

DO not mention Kies at all. I had a friend who needed a replacement for his phone which Samsung denied because he updated the software. He is still fighting with them because his phone is under warranty.
Just act stupid when you go to a service center and act as if you dont know anything about your phone. Just say you plugged it into the computer to transfer music or something and it went off and didnt come back on. If they manage to fix it, your phone works again. If they dont, you get a new phone. Its a win-win

But kies is Samsung's official software. Its bad customer service by Samsung. Can't see Samsung having much of an argument against your friend.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Go to Samsung service centre, and tell them that you wanted to update your software up to date, and something went wrong in the middle of the update, server's critical error or something, and now on it doesn't boot at all. Just don't mention Odin, or that you were rooted.
Sorry dude, service centre. Happened to me in the past. Just tell them that one fine day, it couldn't boot. Worked with me. DO NOT MENTION ROOT, ODIN, OR ANYTHING THAT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. They'll repair it for free if you do as above
Thats exactly what my friend told them. They are making some bull**** reason that the Kies he was using was downloaded from the internet and not installed from the CD in the box. The CD one was an old version and couldnt have updated his phone ever. Anyways I lost all hope for any Samsung support

Errmm.. dude. Lol service center. Any Galaxy Ace rom manager touches is automatically destroyed.
Just have a try at the service center. If they won´t repair your phone you can use it paperweight.

*URGENT* Huge Problem with my S3 Mini

Hey XDA guys,
I've got an I8190N
I've got a pretty big problems and I need the help of your big brains.
Well a long time ago (17th September 2013) I posted a thread about a problem with my phone, when I booted up, it had this screen:
*Image should either be here or in the attached thumbnails*
So about 3 weeks ago from today I was trying to install a new CM11 ROM update from Maclaw but after I put the zip on my sd card and booted into TWRP recovery (2.6.3.0, just in case it needs mentioning), the phone shut off in the middle of the installation, I thought it was just the usual bugs I get whilst flashing ROMs so I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on.
After a couple of attempts I finally realised that it's able to go into download mode only, I think that means it's soft-bricked right?
So I kept trying to re-install the stock ROM (unroot, unbrick etc) through odin but it kept failing.
I sent the phone to repairs and they wouldn't repair it (because it's rooted obviously, I thought maybe they wouldn't know but of course they did).
I obviously can't get a replacement and start over again because the warranty is void now that I've rooted it
So now they've sent it back and it's currently a paper weight that can go into download mode and refuses to install stock ROMs through Odin.
What do I do? I really need help guys (I don't need to worry about backups because I always backup)
Please answer soon, otherwise I'll be without a phone and my phone company will keep charging me for my contract eventhough I'm not using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help given

I believe that kies has emergency firmware that you can use to revive your phone? Try that. What does it say when it fails in odin?
hello,
so you can still go into download modus?
try the latest recovery (2.7 if i'm correct...) and flash with odin.
then try to boot into recovery and reflash the latest mclaw (or any other) non stock firmware.
think about it that you have to unzip the odin firmware package you download from maclaws site ( i forgot it and got messing around 2hours ago.... also staring at the erro in odin and thinking W*F is happening :cyclops: but then i realized i need to unzip the package...
realy good luck.....
Hi
Odin flash pit file
It just says the big black FAIL in the red background where it's supposed to be PASS in the green background
Could you guys give me download links to the PIT files, TWRP and the firmwares so I could get the right ones please?
Thanks
LOOK HERE
(i8190_goldenxx.zip) is the pitfile for I8190 only and i8190N_goldenxx.zip for I8190N version
BUT: these are NO flashable files - extract them and choose xxx.pit in Odin.

Could you give me a link to the pit file please
Do you have a link to the firmware I should use because tys0n gave me one before which was the service firmware (like 1.29gb) but it wouldn't work for this problem

Samsung note 5 stuck in a boot loop

Hello,
I am a noob... My note 5 went into boot loop several days after installing Avira (after the last update my phone said I had a virus... I should have known better)... I have spent many days researching and trying different things... most advice came from XDA so I joined. I have learned a lot but still have no success.
Samsung says I need a new phone... the local store took out the battery with no luck... They said its a gonner. Really??
I can get the phone into download and have it talk to my PC, but that is it... I cannot get into recovery or reset the phone
I was able to downgrade to OK3 using odin and passed, but still boot loop
I have purchased software to recover data, but FRP has blocked it
I have tried many different ways to remove FRP, but all have failed... I don't think I ever put this phone in debugging mode so I think that is why the other things have failed.
Is there anything I can do? Can you point me in the right direction (as long as it is not the trash can)
Please help.
Since you can get into download mode , have you tried to flash a full firmware package (make sure of model number first) via Odin ? sammobile has most firmwares. I would start with that. Good luck
Thank you so much for responding... I flashed ok3 from one of the links posted on this site using Odin and it passed successfully, but did not fix the problem. What would be the full firmware pack and were could I find so I know I have the right one

Just use smart switch. You don't have to worry about which firmware to be flashed. It will decide for you.

I tried that before with no success, but since Smart Switch had an update I tried it again... It says it does not support my SM-N920P.
I tried emergency rescue and it recognized my model number, but says I entered the wrong SN... I pretty sure I am entering the right SN
