It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.
Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.
reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

thanks, im not going to be upset if people make fun, they can do it because i was so stupid not to see that the soft is for another phone and brake it with my own hand. Isn't on this forum someone that works for Samsung and can tell me for sure what to do , or if the service can do ?

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

im sure samsung can fix it evan by changing the sd in the phone with the correct soft will solve it, but i want to see if there is another way of doing it
Is there a way to go back after the fact?
and for a follow up question. I had about 6 copies of an old phone, how can i delete them.(or where are they stored?)
People know what i am talking about right?
During the initial setup right after the NFC tap and go.
My two questions are still, Can i do this after setup, and how do i delete that data?

The copies are stored on Google servers. They don't have a way to delete them as of yet.
If you'd like to try to restore again you must factory reset and it will get you back to that phone restore again.
I wish there was because I have 30 of them now.

I didn't see a way there.
Also my new nexus 6 is not putting data there even though i say its ok. I just have all the test roms i did with my LG G3 and lollipop. How can i make sure my phone is uploading the data?
This seems like such a great feature to even share app data between like a tablet and your phone. I hope they expand this really bad.

I contacted Play support last night to RMA my Nexus 9. The girl said I had too many Google devices on my account, and asked me for a second email address to assign the ownership of the tablet to. I laughed and offered to send a few older Nexus devices back.

That's funny actually because you can't remove your devices. It sucks when you look through your list but hopefully they will let you delete old ones soon.

Its annoying because if you flash a different ROM on a device, that device now shows up twice in the Play Store settings (https://play.google.com/settings)
I have numerous Nexus 4/5/7/6/9 entries. I was once told that after two years of inactivity, the device drops off, but I have an old Acer tablet with a last used date of July 23, 2012 still sitting on my list.

Hi guys,
After a couple of weeks trying to solve my problem, I couldn't help but submit it to you all. What a shame!
I received an old HTC one m7 by a friend who is so rich he can afford to give away such a smartphone he gave up using it since he has a problem a few months since he bought it. The phone stopped working, so he asked a friend to repair it so he could use it again. Well, the guy who modded the phone (I don't know who he is) said the phone could not be reset, and he should have modded it with a cooked ROM.
And here we are. He flashed a ROM I still can't identify, with an improbable CWM recovery in Thai language. This ROM is jelly bean based, it's widely bugged and speakers don't work. Since my friend couldn't use the phone to make calls anymore, he switched to an iPhone (heart attack!) and abandoned this amazing phone.
Now I have the phone, and I'm going crazy trying to find a solution to bring the phone back to it's old glory. Since I'm a poor owner of Sony devices, I have no idea of how to mod an HTC, and unfortunately many guides on the internet expect that every single person on this planet knows what they're talking about.
Here are my troubles: I don't know how to check if the phone is S-off (and I have no idea of what it means) or what is its CID (what's that?!). I can't flash a twrp recovery, and I can't speak Thai, so I can't use the current recovery. I don't know if the phone is branded. Bootloader is different from the ones whom I find the screenshots on the internet.
Can anyone solve this enigma?
Here are some screenshots.

Yeah your right about 1 thing, its old
that baseband is something ive never seen before
everyone on here is going to ask you this question, and so am I, we need your fastboot getvar all without the IEMI and serial number, but as you probably don't know how to use that, then do this for now:
hold down the power button and select restart, whilst the phone is shutting down, hold down the volume down button, don't let go until the phone comes back on, should come back on to what is known as the bootloader screen, please take a picture of this and post it.

Also tell us what your phone's original Model ID is. It will be written on the back end, at the lower side.
That way we will get the idea of your query from which region the phone was made to work and on which network.
Because seems like it's firmware was converted.
Here it is! Does anyone know Thai? Or Chinese? Or whatever the hell is this?
Model PN07100
Does it sound legit?
I'm gonna try to obtain the getvar thing by googling some guides.

That's Chinese. And does not look like the HTC One M7 bootloader screen. The ROM also did not look like stock Sense 5 (bits of it did, but that might just be HTC apps installed from the Play Store). Get the fastboot getvar all results, but for now my suspicion is that it might be a very nice looking clone.

That is recovery mate not the bootloader, did it boot straight into that by following my guide ? the picture below is what you are looking for and should of booted too:
Guys I'm amazed! :'D
Well, it's probably a clone. I've just found this on the internet, I've checked the battery and... It's 1600MAh!!
Damn, those Chinese guys take cloning pretty seriously!!
Enigma solved!
I'm wondering if there is any chance either to flash a ROM or to update it, because speakers and Bluetooth don't work.
It's an HDC clone.

Hey dear Community,
sorry but i translate my question with translate.google.com
And it's like this.
I bought the Alcatel Idol 4 me a few weeks ago.
Super price-performance ratio.
Now I have only the problem that I never in large Internet find a way to root my phone.
I tried already all I know Tools.
I also Kingoroot written an email with the request to find a solution.
I guess that this will take longer so again here the question.
anyone of you an opportunity that Alcatel Idol 4 (6055K) to root?
urgently need a root.
Dear greetings and thanks in advance

Would be keen to know too, also a idol 4 (non s) user.

It's a brand new device. I don't think many devs have it at this point.
I think this now impossible. Bootloader fully locked. Unique what we can - search hole in security system of Android 6.0.1. If we found as minimum temporary root - we can unlock bootloader. And forever... Warranty void permamently! So we have no right to mistake.

I'll be keeping my eyes open. It really is a nice device. If there were some way to switch the placement of the boom key and power button, it would be ten times better though.

hi
As i noticed , in developer option , you can switch OEM unlocking , which allow bootloader to be unlocked.
So i don't think that is gonna be so hard to do, just patience until someone who know alot start to make some way to root Idol 4/4s
I'm pretty sure the OEM unlock has no function currently as we can't pass fastboot commands to the phone just yet.

There is. You can actually set the boom key to turn on the display, then all you need is the following app to turn the display off:

Honestly, I consider this a sort of prose poetry. It's beautiful :crying:
I have some AT&T S5's that I have acquired and they seem to have a custom firmware of some kind. Possibly an unlocked bootloader? Just curious as to what I have. I have included a picture of the boot screen.
The bootloader's are unlocked!!!!!! I managed to flash twrp on it and it is working properly!
I noticed it says Modeeveloper under the download mode. Maybe there's a way to figure how these are unlocked.
I have about 40 of these. Devs pm me if interested.
I know somebody with the same problem, started the other day. BS the bootloader is unlocked.. Whatever it is, it has hijacked the phone to the point that it freezes on the boot animation and loops. Tell me, how do you come into 40+ devices with this issue and why are you trying to offload them as if they're something special?
