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.

Looks like I'll need to try a jig. I can't lose too much as they only cost 99p on ebay
Hi,
the USB Jig won't enter Download Mode if you can't do it with Vol Down + Home + Power
The problem.
When I boot the device it just stays at the Sony screen and does not progress any further. I am still able to turn off the device by holding the power button and the volume up button, I can reset it by holding the button longer waiting for the vibration, and I can hard reset by waiting till the three vibrations.
What I was doing up to the point it happened.
I was trying to get a custom ROM on my device, I had it previously rooted so I thought I would go further. I installed CWM on my phone I wiped data, cache, and dalvick then I went to install the ROM from SD card. During the attempt at installation I got some symlink errors with a status of 7. Not sure what to do turned off the device when I decided to put back its previous I turned it back on and arrived at the problem.
What I have done to try and fix it.
I have done the soft and hard resets, I tried using the PC companions repair tool. When it asks me to turn the device off hold down the power button then plug in the device nothing happens(I have tried this several times.) I downloaded the flashtool and the correct ftf and tried using that, but it doesn't detect my device when I hold down the volume button and plug it in. So it seems that the flashboot is not working on my phone.
Any suggestions on what to try would be much appreciated and thanks in advanced.

You probably didn't install the ADB drivers. Install them from the Flashtool folder (use the ones for TX) and then try flashing your stock FTF again. Remember to put the device into Flashmode.
Basically what happened was that while flashing your ROM the script that flashes everything deletes everything from the /system partition, then you got an error and the installation was incomplete, therefore there is no proper system to boot into. You could have easily avoided what happened by flashing a different ROM had you not powered off.

Thank you for response, I went and used the Flashtool-driver.exe and installed the Flashmode drivers, Fastboot drivers and the TX drivers. But it does not seem to have changed anything. To enter flash mode on the phone one has to hold down the volume down button while plugging the phone into the usb when it is powered off, right? Flash tool just sits at the instruction animation titled Wait for Flashmode. When I try to enter flashmode I do not get a response from either the program or the phone. Any more suggestions would be welcomed.
Thank you for taking the time to help.

Yes, that is how you enter flashmode. Turn off phone, and keep volume down button pressed while you connect the USB cable; the LED light should turn on with a green light. If you're phone is not entering Flashmode, then you might have a faulty USB cable, or there might be problems with your USB ports, either on your computer or your phone (try with different cables/computers).
Also, check your Device Manager (while phone is connected) to make sure the drivers are properly installed. If you have Windows 8, you should have had to turn of Driver Signature Checking in order for the drivers to install properly.

Yeah I turned off the Driver signature checking on my computer when I did it. I'll go buy a new cable and try a friends windows 7 computer. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with the USB port in my phone. Thank you for your help I'll let you know how it goes.
Thank you everybody for your support. My phone is now working. After my phones battery died I was able to get it charging, when it had enough energy it booted itself to the Sony screen so I turned it off and grabbed my new micro USB cable and was able to get it into flash mode. Everything is now working great. I wish a special thanks to Antiga Prime for taking the time to help me.
Hello to everyone. I have in my possession an Asus Memopad 7 Me173x as the title suggest. It was given to me from a friend to recover it but it seems harder than I figured. Usb debugging mode is not enabled, it cannot go to recovery - when I boot it into recovery it shows me a dead android with a red triangle. I have tried flashing it with numerous different roms using SP Flash Tool, getting all sorts of errors, get past one stumble upon another one. I Installed Linux on my desktop pc to try and flash recovery using fastboot, I added the proper text for the android rules file, but I'm getting the "waiting a device" error. The tablet isnt hardly bricked, like it doesnt turn on. Actually the thing is it boots to android, an error pops, the tablet restarts over and over. When I power it on once, I have to take it apart and remove the battery, because it cant turn off, just keeps rebooting. I thought if I could flash custom recovery and use an sd card to install stock rom using the recovery it should fix. The bootloader is locked, usb debugging isnt checked and the tablet doesnt boot properly. Any guidance towards fixing it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I'm also new to linux, but kind of getting along.
I did a google research if there is a way to enable usb debugging if the tablet is bricked, but sadly I did not find anything.
Hey guys, I need your help, I bricked my phone yesterday, and trying to solve it I used miflash, but now that the process finished my phone only vibrate and show a green light and then start a loop , and my pc wont recognizes my phone, somebody can help me please?
sorry for my bad english
Could you give more info? Which phone, what bricked the phone, bootloader locked/unlocked, what do you see in device manager on your PC?
Are you able to go into fastboot?
There's another user dealing with a bricked phone currently here, see if anything there helps you out. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/help/zuk-z2-booting-anymore-restore-t3539804

So in the last days I bricked my z2 pro by closing the bootloader with a custom installed, and to solve the problem I put it in EDL mode and I used the flash mi, but now when I press the power button it just vibrates and flashes a green Led, but it does not turn on, I already tried several combinations of buttons to get into fastboot and nothing, and when I plugged the usb into the pc it shows nothing
I have an XZ1C that I seemed to have damaged the bootloader during a flashing operation.
I have a working OS and can reboot the device with adb without problems via an "adb reboot bootloader" call.
When the device comes back, I'm unable to install the device drivers since the USB IDs are different than are supported from the regular XZ1C driver. My device is reporting as VID 0FCE PID 0DDE. This still seems like an Xperia IDE, but the ID is not supported from the regular Xperia driver.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can reflash the proper bootloader, or have pointers to a specific driver that might work given the odd mode that I've managed to mangle my XZ1C into?
Much thanks!
I didn't understand, what you mean with I can reboot the device via adb....
From my personal view : if the bootloader is broken, no connection via adb could be possible, no fastboot is possible and so on....
Maybe I'm wrong?
If the device is available, is the USB debugging in the Dev menu and OEM unlock enabled? Could you accept the fingerprint?
The VID/PID combo of 0FCE:0DDE is the fastboot device identifier.
If you're trying to get to flash mode, the procedure is to:
- Disconnect the phone from USB.
- Power off the phone.
- Hold the Vol-Down button.
- While holding Vol-Down, connect the phone to your computer via USB.
This will activate flash mode with a VID/PID of 0FCE:B00B.
You can tell the difference between the two by the color of the notification LED.
Fastboot mode has a blue notification LED, while the flash mode color is green.
Not sure I understand fully what you mean but if you're running windows, change the driver manually to Android ADB device once it's plugged in. Windows should recognize fastboot mode at that point you can flash a new boot image.
