[NEED HELP] Bricked Galaxy Mini S5570 - Samsung Galaxy Mini

Device: Galaxy Mini S5570
Bricked while trying to flash custom recovery (not sure which one, I wasn't the one trying, but I'm guessing it was not made for this device and that's what produced the problem.)
The phone goes into download mode, but is not recognized by Odin, and windows says "Error code 43" meaning it does not recognize the device either.
In Device manager there's an "Unknown device", the Hardware ID of which is "USB\UNKNOWN" (Not much help, huh?)
The phone won't go into recovery mode, it stays blank if I try volume up + Home + Power
and if I try to boot it up it hangs at the Samsung splash screen and stays there.
I've double checked my drivers, cables, and tried another laptop.
Laptop running Windows 7 x64 bit
anyone got any other ways to help? I've tried everything I could find on the internet with no luck yet.
I'm very optimistic about it since it goes into download mode, I just need a way to make windows recognize the device or boot into recovery.
Any help or other ideas are appreciated, and thanks in advance

Anyone ?

Yeah, I tried that, and it didn't work.
I no longer have access to the device to try to solve this, the owner decided to send it to a service center.
Thanks anyways Cheers!

Tab 8.9 3g Bricked?

Hi all,
I have got the UMTS version of the Tab 8.9 tried to install the current version of CyanogenMod. (Thisone : cm-9-20130106-NIGHTLY-p5.zip via Recovery. During the flash process the message "Can not access SD card" appeared. Then I tried re-booting and since then, the tablet remains black. All tryings to get into download or recovery mode fail. I have already tried the common key combinations.
Does anyone have an idea what more I can do?
When connected to the PC, Odin recognices nothing - but Windows detects a device called "VET". With ADB I see no device.
Should I maybe just install the correct drivers for VET and can still flash via Odin? Or at least connect via ADB?
Does anyone have any idea what the device VET in the device manager of Windows 7 means?
And if not: Do you have any idea how generous Samsung in such cases appears? Warranty is still there so maybe I can say I did the software update via kies...
For any tip regarding this I would be very kind!
If Odin still recognizes the device I would try to flash the stock rom. You can get it at samobile.com. make sure you get the one for your specific device. Samsung is pretty good on the warranty. I warranteed an i957 with them that was bricked.

thanks for the hint
the problem is, odin doesnt recognize it...
I'd warranty it then. It's hard bricked and you are not going to be able to fix it.

Bootloop, Can't go to recovery mode and device undetectable on Windows... Help?

Hello fellow members,
Before you go and advice me to search the forums before posting; I did that and did not find any solution... Here's my horror story;
I own a Galaxy S (GT-i9000). A while ago I installed Tsunami X on it along with Semaphore. When my phone was booting up, I accidentally removed the battery and when I tried to turn it on, I got stuck on a bootloop. The phone does not go in the recovery mode, and when I put it on download mode it does not get recognized by the computer (used 3 different computers, all with Samsung drivers and Kies.) which means that I cannot use Odin to flash it with a different ROM...
I am in a desperate need of your help as I searched all the forum for answers and did not find any... Thank you in advance
AW: Bootloop, Can't go to recovery mode and device undetectable on Windows... Help?
Maybe the usb cabel is corrupt. Did you already tried anotherone?

For getting into recovery, try the 3 button option (Power + Home + Volume Up). Press these 3 buttons till you see the kernal logo.
For boot loop, try re-installing the ROM with data/cache wipe.
For USB,
(i) re-install these drivers 64 bit | 32 bit and then
(ii) check cable
(iii) follow this link for exhaustive solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571

I too have the same problem:
- SGS wont be recognized by PC (tried 2 differnet laptops and also different usb cables, nothing worked)
- Tried Odin and Heimdall (both didn't recognize the device)
- tried to flash the broccoli-aokp ROM: aokpcb_galaxysmtd_r2.1-beta-20120610-1843
- when i try to go (by the 3-button-option) into the recovery menu the device boots, shows the normal Galaxy S screen and then instead of recovery the ROM itselve tires somehow to boot (i get the bootscreen from the ROM)
- Also tried to make it visual for Odin/Heimdall via zadig.exe, didn't work...now the driver won't even install
- even tried it via cmd and the adb command, also no devices attached
Alltogether: i cant falsh any ROM via Odin nor CMW
Is it bricked? (Never had a bricked phone and dont know how to recognize this)

Nope, neither the 3-button combination works (i get the normal galaxy s start up screen, and then instead of getting the recover ui the ROM somehow tries to start and i get the bootscreen...and then the bootloop starts) nor through the adb commands in cmd (no device detected)

Cannot access download or recovery mode after failed flash

Hi,
I attempted to re-lock and then flash my i9305 yesterday with the latest firmware,
However, I must have done something wrong, but the Odinupdate failed and I now cannot enter Download or Recovery modes from a powered down state.
Instead, I am presented with Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. When I try to power up the device, all I see is this message "Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Even though the handset doesn't boot up properly, Windows seems to detect it and the driver support kicks in but Kies and, ABD and the GS3 toolkit will not recognise the existence of the handset.
Is this now dead and irrecoverable or can I fix this?
I have checked out the usual links on here to see if I can get the handset to startup in recovery mode again.

I hope someone can help.

Help! 4x hd CWM bootloop error! Flashed wrong CWM.

Hello I have an unlocked Lg optimus 4x hd software version 4.1.2 JB. I recently successfully rooted it but CWM said there wasn't one available for my phone on the rom manager app so i found one. I would post a direct link to it but apparently im not allowed to yet.
I realised that this was realised almost a year ago after the fact, this probably is what messed my phone up.
I installed it and ran it, when my phone rebooted it was stuck in a boot-loop. I can still access the default android recovery screen and I tried hard resets and clearing the caches but I'm still stuck on the LG logo. My computer still says that its installing drivers when i plug the phone in but it won't let me do any thing. I have looked around the forums and the solutions i found aren't helping me. Any help would be appreciated.

Access the android recovery screen, then select adb sideload.
if you can access adb mode, you can use all in one tools.
ALL IN ONE (TOOL)
Try this way.
Good luck

How do I do that. I feel like I've tried it before. CWM didn't load properly on my phone so I cant do anything involving the use of it.

You just need to be able to get in S/W Mode by pressing "Vol- & connect to PC".
For a better flash try to use LGFlash Tool, look here:

great it looks like im nearly there but where you saw three ports active and one actually downloading i only saw one active but it wasn't downloading, i feel as if though it could work i just need a little more help. Sorry if this is wasting your time...
simple, run windows enabler to ON, connect phone in S/W mode, go to device manager -- modems --- LG xxxxx *13 ... and the number is the port ... for me i have 13 port selected .. or you can try one by one ... if one fail ( RED --- FAIL TO OPEN) then try another ...
Thank you everyone!!
It worked thank you guys soo much!!
Hi there,
I flashed the wrong cwm as well on my gf phone. (she's going to kill me)
Anyway, the All-In-One tool does'nt help me. I can perform the root (which is useless, because I cant even boot) but I cannot anything. I think it's because no sd is mounted.
Code:
Choose The Number :-7
Now connect your phone with "Debugging" enabled .
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Copying files ,, Please wait ...
failed to copy 'O4X_OR_R.img' to '/mnt/sdcard/O4X_OR_R.img': No such file or dir
ectory
sh: cat: /mnt/sdcard/O4X_OR_R.img: No such file or directory
rm failed for /mnt/sdcard/O4X_OR_R.img, No such file or directory
I can't even boot into the S/W mode. I just get a grey (or sometimes blue) screen.
Please help!
try to take the battery out plug the phone with a cable on your computer. Insert battery again. Flash firmware
edit: it seems like your all in one tool doesn't find the image.

flash a firmware using LG-KDZ-UPDATE-TOOLS. Search them in google,
Follow instructions found in the internet. I can give you a link but its in german. There is probably an english equivalent here somehwere.

ACE S5830 hardbricked, drivers are not getting detected.

I just hardbricked my S5830 while trying to install cwm.
Actually I tried to install cwm without rooting the phone, and when i checked after this the phone was not going to recovery even samsung default recovery was gone.
Now there was no way through phone to install cwm. So i tried to factory reset the phone. My bad luck, phone is not getting on now.
The problem I am facing now is I am not able to use odin as drivers are not recognising the phone. It always gives drivers malfunctioned error. Even for the adb drivers too.
Has anybody faced this issue?
It is going to download mode. But in pc it is not recognising the phone. I installed all the available drivers.. But still the same.
Thank you in advance.

Have a look in the rooting and troubleshooting threads.
If odin isn't recognising your phone then:
1/ drivers for "download-mode" not installed properly.
2/ phone is not actually in download-mode.
3/ usb cable or pc usb port is faulty.

I am glad you replied.
I think the drivers for download mode has not installed properly.
I searched in rooting and trouble shooting, couldnt find the proper drivers which detects. Even i installed windows 7 as someone mentioned in some thread. Still nothing worked.

1/ All I can suggest is install drivers/ odin as administrator. Windows should detect running phone with "ding-dong" even in wrong mode.
2/ remove phone battery for 20 secs.
3/ replace battery.
4/ press and hold down home button, down-Volume & then press power for 4 secs, then release power.
5/ keep holding home and down-Volume (about 5 more secs) until screen flashes and "downloading" is displayed.
6/ release buttons, plug phone to pc, flash stock rom with odin.
