[Q] How do I save my (bricked?) phone? (after system wipe :( ) - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here goes: in a stupidity attack, before installing a stock rom, I wiped everything but the external cared (YEAH, the SYSTEM too). I then flashed the rom, and it never installed (my phone got stuck on showing the "samsung galaxy s advance" for over half an hour).
(might be relevant: the phone was rooted, and had CoCore + TWRP installed)
What should I do? How do I get my phone back? Can it be saved? :crying:

Is the device still can enter the download mode? If yes. Downgrade to GB. Find a guide in the general section on it. Good Lucks.

thanks, I managed to recover it through TWRP

thanks!

Referring to that matter, the same thing has happened to me but even the stock GB is stuck on the Samsung logo. Also, it looks like a bootloop, it keeps restarting.
Any help is appreciated.

I closed my phone (took the battery out) and then pressed power-soundUp-button for recovery, and reached the recovery. I restored from a backup I had on my external card. If you don't have a backup, you can put stock rom on your external card (directly from your PC with a card reader dongle) and flash it.
The other option is to install a stock rom by downloading it to your phone through the computer with Odin. That means that you download Odin and stock rom. To do this you still need to take the battery out (to close the phone), put it back in, and then press power-soundDown-button to download (the difference here is sound-DOWN). Then work according to the tutorials about using Odin (don't forget to open the file as admin!).
Good luck!

Are you trying to do a factory reset/wipe data via stock recovery?

I think I have done this, yes. Do you think this was the reason for the bootloop?
However, I've now succsefully flashed Slimkat, it looks promising.
I hope I won't have to turn back to GB or JB in the future.

Boot Loop - Tab dead?!?!?

Tab is running CWM Recovery and Gingerbread Overcome Rom beta 1. Has been running fine for 3/4 days. Yesterday the tab froze and rebooted twice. Tab was left on last night while on charge. This morning when I unplugged the tab it was off, so I switched it on but it is stuck in aboot loop. The Galaxy Tab Samsung screen displays but then just reboots.
I can get in Recovery and have performed a data wipe and cache wipe, made no difference.
I made a CW backup on Tuesday and checked afetr that it was on the sdcard, it was. However if I now try and do a restore from CW it claims there is no backup...
Is my tab dead? Is my internal memory dead?
I'm comlpetely lost now....
Can you get to the flash zip option in recovery? If you can try to reflash the ROM from the SD card. Have to tried starting over using Odin? Hope this helps. Good luck.
I can get to the flash zip but they are not there? This is whats making me think maybe there is an issue with the internal memory?? The tab has been freezing and rebooting at least once a day for the past 2 weeks or so?
Haven't tried the odin route yet, will give that a go tonight
If you wiped everything then yes, that will delete your internal memory.
Follow the Overcome guide to use Odin and restock to the GB safe rom, then go back to Overcome.

Haha, itbis
All youll need is:
Odin 1.7
P1_hidden.pit
GB-stocksafe.zip (i think thats what its called)
And the Obercome beta rom.
Hope it works out well for you.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
this also happened to my tab (because i was playing around with my system files) i just reflashed the ROM and it was fixed, dont worry about it being bricked as long as you can still access CWM and download mode
hopefully you backed up
good luck! hope you get it fixed!
Think I could be in trouble. Followed the odin steps and got a big Red fail on Completing (Write) - Fail
Now whenever i turn it on all I have is a phone icon with a broken line going to a pc icon, cant even get into recovery!
Just flash dbdata. Don't worry, it's not bricked if you can still power it on and odin recognise it.

There is a dbdata.tar file somewhere on roto rom's thread or chainfire's gingerbread rom. If it's a zip, extract it beforz. Flash it as pda.

I've had random reboots running a few different roms. It sucks and it does require a complete wipe. I end up going back to heimdall and reflashing all vzw images. Then I'm on a clean path to a fresh start.

Tab won't even switch on to alternative mode now other than when it's plugged into the wall socket power charger!?!?
Anyone able to offer an help? The tab will not boot unless it's plugged in charger, so when plugged into pc/laptop will not boot so I can't get to download mode..
Have managed to get it to switch on now but still getting the write failed when trying to flash the PDA. Have tried the GB Stock Safe and have tried the official samsung, both fail. This really does sound like an internal memory issue to me as everything seems to work fine until itgoes to write to the memory, does that sound feasible or am I just panicking?
One piece of advise...make sure that your battery is fully charged before you start anything....like if you plug it in will it show it charging...because if you start messing around with Odin or flashing and it dies from lack of power....then you will be SOL....I just had to send two into Samsung in the U.K. to get them flashed back to normal....but followed the Overcome rom instructions and both now have 2.3.3 android...Good luck!

Woke up this morning, my Note was dead...

Hi there,
I had no problem with my Note until this morning when I woke up.
My Note was turned off, I tried to turn it on, impossible.
I plugged the usb wire and I saw the battery logo and it was fully drained.
It's weird because I usually hold 2 days with my phone and yesterday, before sleeping, the battery was almost full.
More than that, I use Green Power, so all the connectivity services shut down during the night, there's almost no battery consumption.
So, I tried to turn it on, many times, impossible... it's stuck at the blinking Samsung logo.
I use the LQ2 rom with the Franco's kernel R5.
I've also tried to wipe cache & Dalvik's cache in recovery, but that doesn't change anything.
I'm beginning to be a bit worried because I've red some post on the forum saying that the Note's CPU can burn...
Please help ! Thanks !
are you overclocked? but even if you are, if the device goes into deepsleep, it can't burn...
i wonder what really happened..
How long have you had Franco 5 running on it?
I got stuck at flashing logo when I tried to upgrade from Rocket ROM 3 to 4.1. Ended up having to do factory reset. Now on RR4.1 with CF kernel. Hoping it stays stable.
So if all else fails do the factory reset as per ROM instructions and hope that gets you through.
I don't overclock the device, I try to run it as simple as possible, as long as I have Gmail, I'm happy.
I don't know what happened... I was running Franco's R5 since the day he released it, without any single problem !
I'm now on a Windows, I'll try to run Odin and flash it.
Yes, no idea what appened.
But the best is to flash a wipe stock Rom from Odin PC.
How to check if my cpu is not burned ?
I flashed a new rom with Odin, the phone doesn't boot anymore...
The file I flashed: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/159007364/ad4ff19/N7000XXLQ2_N7000OXELP6_SER.zip.html

I hope your PBA is not cooked like mine. I was on franco's kernel too before I could revert back to safety, it was dead. Are you able to get in download mode? When flashing or wiping, do you get errors on datafs or factoryfs?
If you have warranty, Samsung service center

What do you mean with PBA ?
I can go into download mode and before flashing the rom with Odin, I could go into recovery without any problem.

First of all the CPU is fine, since you see the Recovery screen.
From Recovery flash Abyss 4.2, reboot Recovery (from Advances).
Wipe user data, Cash and Dalvik Cash,
Flash any ROM.
I had a very similar problem. Resolved by reverting to Franco R4.
Good luck!

When I do that, before flashing the latest rom, I was going into recovery.
Now that I flashed it, I land into a "Android system recovery (3e)".
It's a blue menu like the CWM Recovery but with less options.
I suppose that this is the default recovery system bundled by Samsung...

Now that I flashed the original rom, I lost root, how can I do that ?
When I first got my TMobile Galaxy S2, the first day it died completely while I was sleeping. I tried turning it on and I would feel the vibration of the phone trying to turn on but it wouldn't. I figured the battery had drained so I plugged it in the charger, but the phone wouldn't stay off and charge, it would try turning on over and over. It went into a crazy bootloop. It was my first time with the phone so I thought it went crazy and called samsung.
Eventually the phone got enough of a charge to power on completely without shutting down. I eventually realized that if my phone died completely, what I had to do was use my Car Charger, which didn't turn my phone on and showed me the little battery indicator showing it was charging.
I don't know if this is similar to what you experienced but hope it helps.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
a similar thing happened to me earlier,
I would advise you not to have wiped anything whilst on ICS even with franco kernel.
If you can go to download mode, do so then using pc odin flash a stock rooted GB rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535025
then flash cwm recovery. following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
then wipe data, cache and everything else.
you should be back to GB then flash whatever rom you want, I would advise you to flash paranoidandroid which is superb.
the only difference I had with you, is that i did not wipe data or cache whilst on ICS so this may not work for you as you have done that.
But this method worked for me.
Ok, I'll try to flash the GB rom, and I'll be back to get you update of the situation...
I think I'll be back on HTC soon... I don't understand why the phone reacted like that...

I9305 is it bricked?

Hi Guys.
Got an I9305 here, I rooted it (apparently fine), then (via recovery) flashed a cusom ROM, rebooted but it stayed on the I9305 screen. Now I can't get to recovery, it will go to download but I can detect it via heimdall, and it still wont boot. Have I killed it or is there anything I can do to resurect it? I've been searching the forums here for ages, but I'm just going in circles with getting any closer to a solution.
Ideas?
-S
If you can get download mode then try flashing a stock ROM via Odin.
You're still in luck when you have download mode, when you don't have that or recovery then you start worrying.
PS: don't forget you have a I9305 when searching for a stock ROM.

I can get to download (the only place I can get), but neither Odin or Heimdall will connect to it, they both just sit there as if the phone isn't plugged in.

Have you used Odin/Heimdall before?

OK got it connect now, I've used Heimdall several times on my I9300 without problem so I think it's a hardware problem. I flashed a new recovery and can now get to that when needed but it still wont let me boot any ROMs I flash, it just hangs at the I9305 screen. Is there anyway I can reset the custom binary count from Heimdall/Odin or recovery so I can send it back to get replaced/fixed?
Try this before doing anything drastic, It's stock but rooted but do it through Odin.

These roms you've been flashing, do they contain a kernel? Hanging on boot screen can be indicative of a couple of things, firstly, if you have the wrong kernel, fix that. Secondly, try clearing data and cache, this can work wonders. Thirdly, if ADB is currently enabled, try bringing up a shell through it ("adb shell", note: not in recovery obviously, as this mode is already working fine) and type "dmesg", this will print out what the kernel is currently doing, usually if something is erroring you will see the same text re-appear multiple times. If the kernel initiation gets stuck in a loop it will literally never get out of it so that would be a good way to see that, could be a piece of hardware is damaged. Since you can get to recovery I reckon you should be able to mount system/data in that and enable ADB in android if it isn't already, I don't know how to do this though.
Good luck!
Something that's helped me before in this situation was:
Go to mounts and storage in recovery and format System, Data and Internal storage.
Then download stock firmware and Flash via Odin.
This pretty much wipes your phone of everything and gives you a fresh install
You have to wipe data after flashing a ROM
Hi Guys,
I tried flashing a stock ROM via Heimdall again, and this time it worked. The phone is still very flacky though, so I'm convinced it's a hardware issue. Managed to triangle away and get everything stock, so they should never know when I send it back for replacement ;^>
Thanks to all for your suggestions.

[Q] Soft/Hard Bricked n7000?

Hey Guys im new here. In a REAAALYY messed up situation right now.
PLEASE HELP!!!:crying::crying::crying:
Had Carbon kitkat 4.4.2 rom flashed with Philz touch 6.19.
Phone suddenly crashed while using Whatsapp. It did not switch on,when i tried.
Tried re-flashing original stock 4.1.2 firmware (india version,coz im in India).
Used only PDA file(thats what was suggested in a website).
Flashed with Odin 3 v3.07. Got a "PASS" message.
BUT now came the problem. Phone got stuck at Samsung logo and switched off. Battery was about 70%
So I removed battery and restarted phone but same problem. Then I booted phone to stock recovery.
Did "data wipe/factory reset" and then "reboot now" option. Same result,i.e booted till samsung logo and then switched off.
So I again re-flashed stock 4.1.2 firmware(india version),but this time using Odin 3 v3.04(i know it may not make a difference).
Again got a "PASS" message.
Now, it started booting ,started downloading apps(eg:"downloading apps 32 of 63"...,etc).
After this phone booted to Stock Recovery.
This time i did "Reboot now"
It rebooted back to Stock recovery.
Again i did "reboot system" and then it booted back to stock recovery.
So kinda stuck in stock recovery loop.
If i unplug phone from PC,none of the buttons give a reponse(No download mode,stock recovery)
Is it hard bricked,coz when i plug phone back,i can get to download mode and stock recovery,just that it keeps rebooting to stock recovery again and again.
PLEASE HELP. Found everywhere on the net possible,couldn't find anything!
My dad would kill me if he got to know! :crying::crying::crying:
i know im asking for too much,being a new member,but please reply ASAP. Im freaking out here

Anyway, i tried charging via wall adapter, but then it automatically boots into Stock Recovery, even if i do not press any buttons.
even If i remove battery,put it on again and then put phone on charge,it automatically boots into stock recovery, without pressing any buttons.
And of course,pressing"reboot now" again boots it back to stock recovery.
Odin flash was successful with "PASS" message, and also i tried to factory reset and then "reboot sys now" but it made no difference.

and if it did , did it boot up into the last firmware you had tried to flash?(i.e.,ICS,GB or JB)?

I tied to install the program, chose variant with backup in the installer, but now my phone is stuck on loading screen for like 20 mins, showing samsung animated logo.
What can i do now?
Are your rom is stock or custom ? And are you using which recovery ? Twrp ?
Restore your backup.

I don't even know what rom is. :S
uhm, well and i dont have a copy of my phone's system on PC or something like that. I'm not even sure if the installer really did a backup.

If i know how to do it! I'm kinda lame in phones and android. Could you tell me something i can do now? I'm currently trying to find some program for PC now, so i can connect my phone and hopefully do something
Even hard reset (Volume down + Home + Power buttons at the same time. ) does'nt works now. i keep getting the loading logo.
It seems you are new to android, custom ROM, recovery etc. and this indicate you haven't took nandroid backup of your ROM to restore it later... Now what you can try is, go to stock recovery with pressing phone buttons combination ( google it according to your phone model ) and do factory reset (warning- it will wipe all your data but may set your phone to boot and work ) ..at least try it when nothing is working

Just Google "How to back to stock with odin and write your (phone model). If you follow the guides carefully your phone will format you will lose your all data but your phone is will work.

Will try tomorrow, TYVM!
I managed to update my system via Odin program, everything is fine now! Even my settings\apps survived!
Thanks you all for the help.
The problem is solved.

I almost bricked my Samsung G5 (the ATT version with the screwy locked bootloader, I think?) almost this exact same way about two years ago. It took a bit with ODIN and some time on the forums here, but eventually I got it working again. Not fun but I am glad everything worked out for you as well.
To be honest I learned more successfully trying to unbrick that phone than I ever would have had I not royally effed up....
