Got an at&t tab here, I upgraded to JM6, flashed the modem, and rooted it, all was well, untill I realized that I couldnt get into recovery to wipe. So I went into d/l mode, and couldnt get out, loaded up Odin3 and attempted to flash the bell modem again just to get it to reboot. Well it froze up, and now all I get is a communication error picture: "phone ----- !-----PC"
Help please, its brand new and going to be sold
From my experience you can power off the unit, put it in dl mode again flash the Bell modem with no partion, no pit and with reboot selected and it should do a regular startup!

I lost d/l mode. But somehow the second time I attempted to flash JM6 with odin, while seeing this error message, it worked. So its working again.
But I have no recovery anymore is this normal?
UPDATE. Seems after JM6 I have no recovery and no bootanimation(have sound). I get a black screen with a thin vertical line on the right side of the screen. Any advice would be great
The phone --!-- computer problem is solvable.
Power off your phone, and power it back on with holding the volume down button, when you see the --!-- sign release the buttons.
You are now in download mode, although you cant see the little android with the shovel. Connect it to a pc with an odin 1.7 open and you will be able to reflash it.
When I got the error picture: "phone ----- !-----PC" after messing with JM6, I just reflashed it at that screen with the full JM6 package. I dont think you can downgrade from JM6...
I just flash pit file at the phone ----- !-----PC screen then when it reboots it will boot loop. Turn it off then hold vol down and power then when the screen turns on let go of power button but still hold vol down. That will get you in download mode. You can downgrade form JM6 but you have to try 3 to 6 times before it will work. JM6 to jj4 then at&t rom is how I do it.

Interesting that you claim you can get back to JJ4 from JM6. All i get is boot.bin error so id like ro know how you did it?

Cmon guys, read the thread. I got the error fixed, now I have no recovery or boot animation.
Does the tab boot up at all? if it does you can try and do a factory reset from settings and see if that clears it up. You will loose all your settings and third party apps but this seems to be a requirement after flashing

Tab boots up fine, everything works, I just have no recovery or bootanimation, the sound plays for the bootani, just no picture.

You need to tell us what filename you flashed and what .pit file if any you partitioned with.
It sounds like you flashed P1000OXAJM6.tar without partitioning which is probably not going to work.
Never put the phone into download mode unless you have a file ready to flash.
Flashing the file in my sig will probably fix your Tab.

I followed the instructions in the OP of the JM6 thread, and flashed the files that I was linked to in the OP. I checked the box to partition. After I flashed the bell modem as I am on At&t. Then I rooted via SuperoneClickv1.5.5.
Now I have no recovery or boot animation.
I was already d/ling your file to check if that fixes anything.
Ok I tried your(rotohammer) file, and still no luck, it did save me from the root proccess tho.
adb reboot recovery, and adb devices will show the device is in recovery, but I have a backlit screen with a thin line down the right side of it. Which is the same thing I see during boot, after the at&t image.
At startup I will see this screen untill I press the lock button twice, first time shuts the screen off, and second unlocks as normal.

This Video say it all....! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmpWC73pig4
ive seen the screen you are talking about i messed up and flashed the pda file in the wrong place, what i did though is flashed the Stock ATT firmware in the pda section didn't select partition and this file seemed to re-flash everything there is a thread here in the forum, it should be on the first or second page
better yet here is the link http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/T-Mobile/ATT_Stock.zip

This procedure will get you back to stock JPU ROM via Odin and Download Mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10449932&postcount=7
Then once your phone is working again you can go ahead and flash to a custom ROM which I'm guessing you know how to do. Let me know!
Ok dude I`m doing it now, fingers kriss crossed!!!
Ok this happened....
I took usb out, restarted pc, then phone went into recovery mode, I did a factory/data wipe, same with cache, was about to restart phone, now there`s a white box with an orange arrow comming out of it and a little green android man?
I pressed menu button, it brought up recovery, I restarted, went passed the white logo screen to swirling S logo screen, also played music, now at black screen....
Still in black screen but every 20 or so seconds it vibrates once then 3 quick times???
After sometimes it is required to do a factory reset to get it working.If your flash was succesfull try to factory reset it in recovery mode.
Tried Odin again and got the same error, so when I get into recovery mode I should factory reset everything?
Tried to get back into recovery from download mode and got the bricked screen!!! Its hopeless now is`nt it
I can still get into download mode.....
I dont really get what you are trying to do.
Can you get in recovery mode and do a factory reset???
I was in recovery and did that and it got to the swirling S logo screen then screen went black, vibrated once then 3 short ones every 30 or so seconds and thats it, it did`nt go any further.....
I keep getting a FAIL when I try to flash using Odin
I notice when I`m putting in the info in to PDA PHONE CSC areas, I dont see where I`m supposed to use this..
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
I followed it all step by step, or i dont see it in the steps
Hmm i had that screen many times but always able to flash with Odin.Are you sure you got the drivers on your pc?Make sure that you havent Kies running,on try or in backround,or any other program that is used to connect your phone.Also its always good to use a free USB port on your pc,and by saying free i also mean that it not one of the front panel USB cuz those ones sometimes are shared.
Start at the beginning .

Repartition was checked, should I put the modem one in the phone section?
2. Open Odin AS the Man said .
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
I`m still getting a FAIL on it.
I download that Odin, reinstalled the Samsung drivers and disabled anything related to the phone.
I tried it even without the sim car and sd card in cause I read one post that had tried it and it worked.
From the instructions it looks like I`m using 3 of the 4 files download, remember that modem one.
I definitely have to use that same file twice for PDA and phone?
I followed these instructions to the letter...
file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/xda-developers%20-%20View%20Single%20Post%20-%20[Q]%20i9000%20can%20not%20boot.htm
I`m not sure which one is the right Odin to use, but I tried the both of them and still the same results.
There both v1.30, the gt-p1000 is the one from the previous post..
I`m even trying different USB ports...
Ya fuppin BEAUTY, I did it, I put into the phone section in Odin that modem file and here`s what I got...

Ok first of all I want to thank the 2 of ya`s for all your help, I really appreciate it!!!
Now that I`m up and going for some reason my pc does`nt see my phone even tough it says I`m connected on my phone?
I restarted my pc, reconnected phone nothing...
If its not one problem its another...
A friend asked me to repair her phone, it seems that some guy tried to carrier-unlock it and some other guy tried to flash a Firmware for other model. When the phone got back to her it was broken. So she gave a bricked phone to me and asked me to repair it.
Well the thing seems to be soft-bricked, it's stuck in a bootloop, it displays the samsung logo twice, turns off and then on again until batery's removed.
It won't go into recovery (HOME+POWER), but it works in DOWNLOAD mode.
I tried flashing the stock firmware for the phone (S-5830), I even tried with the version for my country and original carrier. It won't work, ODIN gets to flash all the files, then reboots the phone and It's in bootloop again! Tried some other firmwares, none works or goes into recovery.
Also tried flashing ClockWork Recovery via ODIN, no luck. It won't go into recovery for doing the wipes.
So right now I'm scratching my head. I'm noob with samsungs, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it's just that this phone is broken.
If this guy messed with the EFS file, that may be the reason it's in bootloop? Is there any solution?
EDIT: THE MODEL IS s5830 SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE! I USED THE RIGHT FIRMWARE!
PD: SORRY FOR MY POOR ENGLISH, I'M SPANISH. THE PHONE SSN IS S5830GSMH original carrier: ORANGE
Thanks you very much!!

Sorry I messed up the numbers, I spent hours last night with this and I'm going crazy. The cell phone is a S5830, that's what I can read under the battery. So I'm in the right forum and used the right firmware.

I tried newest and oldest firmwares. I don't know what the latest version of Odin is, I tried 4,38. Still not working..
BTW I FOLLOWED EVERY SINGLE GUIDE I FOUND FOR UNBRICKING AND FLASHING, AND I CAN'T GET THE THING TO WORK.
Use Odin v4.42, install the drivers properly and flash the stock. After seeing the pass option in Odin, disconnect your phone from pc which will be stuck in a boot loop. Now, take off battery, put it back in, reboot into recovery ( power + home button, release power button when something appears on screen. ) & select factory reset option ( volume key to move up and down, home button to confirm and power button to go back to previous menu ). Now select reboot system now. Done !!

NOPE. Tried with that Odin version, it finish flashing, PASS, reboots and the screen is flashing (doesn't show battery loading) until I unplug.
I remove the battery, put it back again, HOME+POWER but still in bootloop, it won't get into Recovery!!
It just flashes Samsung logo twice, reboot, flashes again, reboot... Stuck there, no recovery!! I already flashed this device dozens of times with different firmwares, Stock, Carrier locked, custom, etc... NONE ALLOWS ME TO GO INTO RECOVERY FOR THE WIPES
Go to the service centre, they'll fix the problem for you.

Hi all.
A newbie, I ended up lost after trying to flash the latest CM 12.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active GT-I9295.
At first, there was an issue with the recovery, which upon entering showed black screen instead of the tool itself.
Trying to fix this, I managed to remove the recovery through flashing the Stock ROM, which has failed in Odin on the "system.img.ext4" instead - could not paste screenshot link here, feel free to ask for it, please!
I must say that I have tried hard to figure out what to do with the mess I have caused, but now I am helpless.
Would anyone give me some nice piece of advice to get my phone going again?
Thank you so much!

Did you try odin 3.10 by any chance? That could be the problem. Use odin 3.07 or 3.09, boot manually into download mode with complete shutdown & using vol down + power key and odin the stock ROM, reboot and do the same with TWRP (hold down the vol up key after flashing recovery when it is rebooting)

Hi there, Jason.
Yes, I did exactly as you say - got to the download mode, plugged in, ran Odin (tried 3.10, 3.09 and 3 v1.85) started flashing the latest Stock ROM and the I only got as far as the "system.img.ext4", when the download failed. Sometimes that happened even earlier, saying that there was no PIT etc.
When trying to flash the CWM recovery, it goes through OK, but then when trying to get into it, the screen just goes black, as described in my previous thread - "CWM or TWRP Recovery Black Screen".
I am stuck.
But I still hope that I am not a proud brick owner

Are you using the original USB cable if not then try with another cable. Also what is the device name shown when you boot into download mode

Hi. Try this:
Remove the battery and USB cable from your phone, and wait at least 3 seconds.
Place the battery only back in your phone.
Fingers on volume down and home, then another on power. (cold boot directly into download mode - this is important!)
Press up to enter download mode.
Insert USB cable into phone and lie it down somewhere it won't move or be touched during the flash.
Download a good current copy of Odin from:
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.10.7.zip
Extract the archive and run Odin.exe
Download this emergency recover tar for your device (newest firmware revision available as of right now):
https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/recover/BL_I9295XXUDPA4_RECOVER.tar.md5 (also has official TWRP 3.0.0-2)
Insert "BL_I9295XXUDPA4_RECOVER.tar.md5" in the [BL] slot.
In the Options tab put an [✔] in the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox.
If you don't have anything you need on your internal storage, put an [✔] in the "Nand Erase All" checkbox.
Click [Start].
Once the progress bar is near finished, place your fingers on volume up and home to enter directly into official TWRP 3.0.0-2.
If you used the "Nand Erase All" feature earlier, you will need to go into Wipe -> [Format Data] -> type "yes" for your data partition to be usable again.
Hopefully this will get you past your black screen issues.
PS. Remember to flash stock boot.img with your system.img.ext4, as you cannot boot a ROM without a matching boot image.
This morning I saw that I can update to the new Android 10 version on my Galaxy S10.
I was happy and of course updated directly.
Everything worked fine, the update was downloaded, installed and the phone rebooted.
And from there it hung in a boot loop.
I had already unlocked the bootloader 2 months ago, but only to flash the original firmware again because of an unsuccessful attempt to install TWRP.
Now the Galaxy S10 starts up, shows the information that the boot loader has been unlocked and then the boot logo and vibrates.
Then it goes straight off and starts again.
I cannot use the key combinations to get into the recovery or in the download mode.
How can I solve this problem ?
(Sorry for my bad englisch i come from germany)
You can try following:
Plug your phone in the PC with the USB cable. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and hopefully it will boot to download-mode.
Otherwise try (still plugged in) force shutdown/restart by pressing/ holding Volume Down + Power - as soon as the screen turns off shift to pressing/ holding Bixby + Volume Down for download-mode. Try it at few times as its all about timing.
If still no luck, unplug your phone and let the battery run out. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and plug in to get to download-mode. This may take some time as the phone needs to recharge a little before it reacts.
Once in download-mode flash your software before the update via Odin - I would use Home_CSC first trying to save your data.
Got exactly the same problem today. Don't know which one I flashed in november though
So how to keep (maybe) the data? flash only HOME_CSC?

Yes to using Home_CSC but to be safe I would flash all 4 files (AP - BL - CP - HomeCSC) as some people have reported their storage gets corrupted/ shows wrong capacity.
Use either Samsung 10 (BSKO) or latest Pie (ASJG). Both should be ok as you are flashing the bootloader when using all 4 files.

Thanks!
I got into the download mode.
I used SamFirm to download the firmware but it was Android 10
Right now i am downloading Andoid Pie from updato.com...
No premium, i am just a free member, so it shows me "20 Hours left"
Where can i download the latest SM-G973F Germany (DBT) Android Pie Firmware for free and without that high speed restriction ?
I think i have to put the home_csc file into the CSC field in odin ?
Didn't work for me, neither ASJG (Pie) nor BSKO (Q).
Had to wipe data, beause system nerver booted again.
Lost all my data. Congrats Samsung to this very best update mechanism. Nerver had on any Nexus nor OnePlus.
Maybe you have more luck.
download mode its not opening idk what i need to do im gonna lose my mind ( sorry for my bad english )

Have you tried all 3 of my suggestions listed above?

Yes to using Home_CSC but to be safe I would flash all 4 files (AP - BL - CP - HomeCSC) as some people have reported their storage gets corrupted/ shows wrong capacity.
Use either Samsung 10 (BSKO) or latest Pie (ASJG). Both should be ok as you are flashing the bootloader when using all 4 files.

I flashed G973FXXS3ASJG to my Galaxy S10.
First i tried only homeCSC but it was still brick.
Then i flashed only AP, it worked.
But after I set up my smartphone again, I saw that I only have 32 GB of storage even though my Galaxy S10 is the 128 GB version.
Then, as you said, I flashed all four files (AP - BL - CP - HomeCSC).
It still shows me that I only have 32 GB of storage

When I first read your post I thought:
Seriously…. Seriously…..
I mean, why the heck would you only flash one file (you were actually warned against this) when it is just as easy to fill-out all 4 slots in Odin? People amaze me!
Okay its Xmas, so back to helping:
‘What you have experienced is a side-effect of using Odin to flash an AP file to your device with the CSC slots left empty. Never flash a full AP file on this range of devices without also filling at least the HOME_CSC slot. It is safe, however, to flash only a recovery image in the AP slot.
To attempt to repair the damage, you need to boot to TWRP, select Advanced Wipe, tick Data, select Repair or Change File System followed by Resize File System. Your /data will return to its former size, but you will probably find you have lost some data.’
Above is quoted from #ianmacd
So, if your phone is on stock Pie (minimum ASIG), with OEM unlocked, try this to get TWRP installed in order to use above rescue.
Go here and download Multidisabler: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ynos/g97xf-multi-disabler-encryption-t3919714
Go here and download TWRP Magisk Patched: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ynos/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s10-magisk-t3919248
Now read post #2 in the TWRP thread for installation guidance…. When you get to no.10 flash the Multidisabler you downloaded instead and then skip to no.12
After no.12 reboot, boot back into TWRP and try the Data fix above.
If all goes well you will have full storage capacity again, TWRP installed and rooted with Magisk.

You can try following:
Plug your phone in the PC with the USB cable. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and hopefully it will boot to download-mode.
Otherwise try (still plugged in) force shutdown/restart by pressing/ holding Volume Down + Power - as soon as the screen turns off shift to pressing/ holding Bixby + Volume Down for download-mode. Try it at few times as its all about timing.
If still no luck, unplug your phone and let the battery run out. Then press/hold Bixby + Volume Down and plug in to get to download-mode. This may take some time as the phone needs to recharge a little before it reacts.
Once in download-mode flash your software before the update via Odin - I would use Home_CSC first trying to save your data.

Yeah, I can see you have started a thread with your problem.
If the first two of my suggestions doesnt work for you then you have to let the phone bootloop until the battery dies/ runs dry and then try my third suggestion.

Hey Bro, I bricked my phone as well in the morning while updating to android 10 but I just had my bootlocker unlocked but no root on it. Could you tell me if there is any possibility to backup the stuff on my phone? Right not Im waiting for my battery to drain to 0% that I can get into download mode and try something out maybe you have a tip for me
Can someone send me a prepatched magisk ap file for HK 9730 Android 10. I don't know what I did. I just pre patched it myself and flashed with odin just like ANY other update but this time, it gets stuck at Samsung logo. I waited a good while too. Maybe I didn't have the right magisk version which is why I'm asking if someone has a pre patched that works, idk but I don't want to lose my data.

My suggestion is to download the complete stock firmware- be it Pie or 10 (Q) - and then when flashing all 4 files via Odin use the Home_CSC file to try to retain your data.
I use FRIJA to download firmwares as the d/l speed is very good.
Bear in mind, if you at some point intend to root and/or install TWRP your phone will be wiped in the process so backup your stuff before going down that road.
Hi, i have the same problem, i can't access to download mode, i have access to twrp recovery but i can't do anything, if i touch the recovery screen, the phone reboot, have you any suggestion please, to recover my phone?

I am also experiencing this issue that the OP is having with their S10. I also have an S10. There was a software update for my phone and now I wake up to my phone boot looping itself to death.
For someone that lives in the United States, which firmware should I use to recover my phone? I ask because there is like 20+ countries to choose from for the exynos G973F model

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N9600) that will not boot. So far I have flashed 2 official firmwares with Odin, and on the first boot attempt after flashing, it will show a percentage bar that counts up to around 5 or so percent before skipping to 100 then looping again. It only does the percentage thing on the first boot after flashing. When I try a factory reset from the recovery I get a no pdp scenario error also. I have tried all that I can think of and even took it to a Samsung Service centre but no solution. I would really appreciate any help I can get.
