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.

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

Galaxy A6 Plus A6050 Root

I haven't found any root related things for this model , i tried using other A6 Plus models TWRP.img but Odin always says PASS and my phone reboots with no TWRP installed. and btw I dont think theres a possible way to boot into download or recovery mode without using ADB cuz only doing VOLUME DOWN + POWER doesnt work or maybe im wrong . but after going into recovery mode adb doesnt recognize my phone connected to PC , i tried doing the unplug and plugging back in trick but still didnt work same with updating the drivers

Hold vol down+bixby for a few seconds then connect usb to pc.
Kies only for old phone like note 3/S5. Newer phones need Smartswitch
I have tried many times and watched YouTube tutorials I cannot seem to get my phone into that mode. Maybe my phone is faulty.
Are you sure your phone is a genuine Samsung phone?

stuck in Google logo and the Volume Buttons broken

I did a huge mistake. I wiped the System and the cash and data on the phone and reboot it, then the phone stuck in google Logo. The problem is I can’t go to Recovery mode because Both up and Down Volume Botton are broken. Is there any way to activate the adb, in this case, to turn the Recovery mode, then flash a new Rom? I tried the adb reboot command, but the phone was not recognized.
or is there a way to Force the phone into recovery mode?
please i need Help

You should just replace the volume buttons.

I’m afraid to say that, but it can’t be repaired
@olofoego,
The only way for you is to bridge volume down button pins on your motherboard. Search the web to find out the required pins. When you find the required pins then u should bridge them, connect usb cable to your pc and phone and wait until your phone will boot into fastboot mode. But be very careful because u can break the motherboard.
PS: I'm not responsible for any damage u can do to your phone!

Asus Rog Phone 3 Uber hard brick

Hi Guys,
I really need help with this one. I have tried almost everything.
Here is my problem.
I have an Rog phone 3 strix edition QUALCOMM based.
I repaired the screen because i dropped the phone.
Everything was fine working well. Me with my big head decided to do an factory reset to wipe everything clean from the phone and then the problem started.
The phone was restarting every time i plugged in a usb c cable. If i wanted to listen to some music on headset wont work because it will end in a bootloop.
Now the phone is stuck in CSC Fastboot mode and PC wont recognized it. The screen will turn on and send me to CSC fastboot but that's it. I can turn it back off.
Can i Revive the phone or is it food for the recycling bin?
Please Help.
Sincerely,
Ayolyas
With some effort you should be able to get back on track - unless it's hardware related to the display change you've done.
Can you do a reboot to bootloader from the boot menu? If you can confirm if you have fastboot access. If you do, RAW flash the device.
Worst case, you force the device into EDL mode and do a flash from there, but leave at as the last option.
If the relpaced display is causing harware issues, that's a bigger problem...
Hi Andrologic,
I cannot reboot to the bootloader. I am stuck in csc fastboot. I was trying to put it in edl mode i even bought an edl cable. But i have no idea how to use it or how to put the phone in edl.
I went back to the repair shop but the phone was working fine when it left the phone shop. The problem started when i decided to go for factory reset.

So, when you turn on the device, it falls into CSC FB and you can't navigate anywhere at all from there?
What happens if you try to do a RAW flash from CSC FB?
Flashing it in EDL mode may otherwise be the only option. Power off the device completely. Then hold Vol up+down pressed and connect to the USB side port. You should land with a completely black screen and on your pc see the device identified in 9008 mode - that's EDL. Since you have a flash cable, you can obviously use that too.
Remember you need Qualcom drivers installed to work in EDL mode. There is a guide with steps for EDL flashing somewhere here on the forum. All the steps are explained.

I cannot navigate anywhere from csc. If i try to reboot bootloader i will end in the same place.
I try to connect like you told me Vol up + down but i ended up at the same place. An raw flash from csc fb how do i do that?
And the steps for edl if you can help where to find those steps because my google history is full off items and still no luck finding the right one.

Yes, you have flash cable, so getting into EDL shouldn't be an issue any way.
This is a useful video on how to use your flash cable to force the device to EDL:
Just remember you need QCom drivers installed to flash in EDL mode, the normal drivers won't do it in EDL.
What is the device identified as on your PC when in CSC FB? Can you send any FB commands to the device at all? Does 'Fastboot Devices' return your device id? If so, try first to do a RAW flash from the Fastboot state you are stuck at. You don't really want to mess with EDL if you can avoid it. Download one of the RAW rom's from the links here on the forum. Version number doesn't matter as long as it matches with your device version, i.e. WW assuming you're on Global.

Hi,
Nope. I can get into EDL mode so i think it is hardware related. You can say it is fresh for the garbage.
