[Q] Can anyone help unbrick my phone...

I tried running Odin to unbrick back into recovery, but apparently didn't have the drivers installed (to my surprise). I hate to say it but I think I've reached the point of no return...any help would be very much appreciated.
Edit: I can't even get into dl mode and I don't have the samsung logo on the screen anymore...just a phone and computer logo.

May be you are not in dowload mode correctly.
For download mode:
1. remove battery
2. connect phone to computer
3. put battery
4. press volume up and down buttons only (no power button)
Try these steps, hope its helpful.

As far as the driver issue is concerned, downloading "Kies" is the easiest way. The phone doesn't actually work with the software, but the process of installing it will take care of any driver issues.
Search Kies in google to grab the download.

Try one click unbrick ^^ it work on mine

That is a download mode. It's just your Infuse saying man, something ain't right and I ain't going no farther.
Just install the samsung drivers, plug the phone in, let the drivers install and then run Odin.

That's the thing...odin would be a breeze, but I just can't get the right drivers for odin to id it...so I guess my solution would be to get kies to id my phone so I could dl the drivers and run odin, right? Easier said than done I suppose...

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really do appreciate it...

Don't plug in your phone at all. Open up Kies/Kies Mini or whatever you have, and under the options it should have an option to install drivers. Once they are done, close kies, reboot your computer, open up Odin with whatever you are flashing, and then plug your phone into download mode.

So I shouldn't sync my phone to get drivers via kies?

No, the program itself can install them without the phone, at least kies mini will. Or you can just download the driver from here:
32 bit drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?0b45zo7o75rc5d5
64 bit drivers: http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re

It said I successfully dl'ed the drivers, yet nothing has changed...used kies mini, restarted my comp, and tried to sync, but it still can't recognize the phone...hate to admit it, but I think I've exhausted just about every solution I could find or think of :/

get rid of kies. it's a useless program. also if it's open odin might not work, even if it's open in the background like in the system tray.
the drivers are in the most logical place you could think of. on the samsung website under device support.
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...445/SGH-i997_Infuse4G_USB_Drivers_5_2_0_2.zip
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/at-t/SGH-I997ZKAATT
use the samsung cable if possible, others should work but on the older moment/intercept style phones a specific cable seems to be required. it couldn't hurt to make sure you have the correct cable.
even if you have the phone + computer screen it doesnt automatically mean you are in download mode. you may still need to do the download mode proceedure from battery pull (to make 100% sure the phone is off before you start the proceedure)
the best way is to
1 open odin
2 pull battery
3 connect the cable
4 phone should be face down
5 hold the volume buttons at the same time
6 with volume buttons depressed slide the battery into place
now you may see dwnload or you may see phone + computer or you may even see a black screen but there is a good chance that if the drivers worked that you will see a yellow box in odin
good luck

I can not get anywhere, but i am installing the 64 bit drivers as im running win 7 64. I will try again, but for anyone else who has no other options and a tiny bit of cash there is some hope http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-infuse-4g-jtag-brick-repair/ . Suprisingly, this is not a scam as many, many people say it worked for them.

Get UnBrickable mod. That works well. I use it whenever I put my device into download mode. Just send me a pm and ill do it for $30+shipping. UBM lets you upload download mode to a device regardless of its state. I spent alot of time researching the methods and I came up with the mod for this device not too long ago.
UBM is the best option. Here is a demo on a captivate. We rewrote the HIBL for compatibility with the infuse4g

Thanks for all the help guys, but absolutely nothing I tried was working and I was short on time and patience...so you gave in to the JTAG unbrick service. I couldn't stand to pay for a service that I was sure I could perform myself, but when it got down to it, I didn't have time to deal with I all. I can confirm that it is a legit service. Great communication and Josh does quick work of getting things working again...I'm a firm supporter of DIY, but if you do reach the point of no return like I did, it's a very reliable resource.

I have a suggestion. I also had this issue. The problem was my main PC. I simply used my old laptop and it worked like a dream. I know thus seems too simple but it has worked for several people.
Use GTGs Ultimate Unbrick on a different computer.

[Q] Droid Razr Locked or Bricked...Please Help!!!

Admins, I apologize if i post in the wrong area. I searched and followed the rules to the best of my knowledge. Please go easy on me? I am going crazy trying to figure out what to do. My razr is rooted. I downloaded a font updater app from the android market, updated some fonts, used the reboot button in options in the app, super user granted permissions and it went to reboot. It is now stuck in the bootloop. i have held the power and volume down button to do the hard reboot but it stalls at the first boot screen. I held down the power and volume down button until screen goes off then released and pressed it again quickly and it brings a screen which says the following...
AP Fastboot Mode (S)
0A.66
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery, OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
(NOTE: I have the USB cable plugged in to my PC at the moment)
PLEASE help me??? I am not a genius at mobile devices or much else for that matter. What can I do to fix my phone. I'm on US Verizon using Motorola I am using a stock gingerbread rom with 2.3.5 and rooted. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
OnTheLevel

This is the thread you want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416058
There's a dedicated forum for the RAZR, you'll have more luck there. I only found your thread because I was searching for other things.

I have two solutions for u:
1. flash your phone with any rom you want.
2. find a file named "DroidSansFallback.ttf" on another phone(/system/font)
or rename a correct ttf file to DroidSansFallback.ttf.
download the attachment, use your file replace the
system/font/DroidSansFallback.ttf in the zip file.
rename the zip file to update.zip
reboot to recovery to install teh update.zip.
(or you can use a recovery tools to install it)

Problem Solved
Thank you guys for the replies. I have fixed my razr by using the FastFlash files I found. I am so new to this all and searched so many different places that I can not even remember where I downloaded them from. My apologies. Next time I will try to be more diligent and explain what I did to fix the problem for others to use for possible resolutions to their own similar issues.
Thanks Again,

make sure you are using a usb 2 port not usb3. if that doesnt work try another usb2 port if you have one.
im not sure what files you have to flash, but if you got to the 926 development forum and look for the razr utility made by me, may be a page or so back. download the one you need, there are many versions. all instructions you should need to use the tool are in my post there.

USB2, not 3

First of all, thank you. it is really important I get this phone working again! I will look back, I just don't understand how to get a command line prompt to send files. I can get the dead android on the screen, but don't know how/where to go from there. I have been able to acess the menu with the "recovery, fastboot, and ap tools" and there is another screen I have gotten to, but don't know how I did it, with a blue menu that has something like "send ADB file" or something like that and another few options. which part of the menu do I have to be in? and how do I know if it is a usb 2, not 3? if I go into the fastboot screen where it says "phone is locked, status 0, I can hear it connect when the computer beeps, but it doesnt show in my computer. the phone will say"USB connected" though.
Thank you for any guidance you can provide. not that I wanted to do emergency surgery, but I have been meaning to learn this stuff anyhow.

usb 3 ports are usually blue in the center, but not always. the older your pc is, more likely you have little or no 3.0 and mostly 2.0. the newer the pc it, it tends to reverse that.
fastboot is the one you want to choose. after choosing fastboot, you dont need to do anything else to the phone. thats basically download or flash mode.
all the rest of the work is done by my script after you start it.
one other thing, since your phone is Locked its important to get the proper version of the utility. your options are only to flash the same software or newer. if you dont know what version you were on, you will just have to use the newest version to be safe.

When I click on the " This, and this" haha. all I get is a screen full of nonsense. it doesnt save anywhere on my pc.
or is it actually going to the phone?

They are downloading now. When they are done downloading, I'll see how I do from there. SHould the SD card be in the phone, or directly in my laptop with an adapter? and...All my equipment is at least 6 years old. I checked, and have no blue USB ports. I have an antique Vaio and a gateway netbook.
I have both open, so I can download on one, and research with the other. lol.

the flashing has nothing to do with your sd card, but if you have something important on there and want to be sure its safe, you can remove it.
in some of my scripts, there is an option to wipe data or not, im not sure about the one i gave you. if the option is there, you should choose the wipe option, unless you have something on the phone itself really important you are trying to save.

Take out battery, sim card and memory card and then put battery only in, plug in usb 2 to computer and the micro usb to phone and then you should see the orange light come on and this will indicate that the phone is connected then open adb through android sdk and type adb reboot bootloader and tell me if it works

2) Packages for devices that are at the end are divided into 32-bit and 64-bit. Are the bits of my operating system or the phone (if they have)?
excuse my ignorance.
3) What is RUU and where do I find the right one for my device?

I think because it corresponds with the region is Europe, the cid not know what is.
In the manual it says to download the latest RUU for my device, then the second ones I've found I should be the third, 2 October 2012. But if there were others on that page are not there?
There are so many, I do not know where to go get:

yes you run the exe from pc

There is a slight problem, the first command that I write on the terminal,. / Brickdetect.sh, I should recognize the device bricked. Instead it is not found. How so? When I attack my phone to pc, QHSUSB_DLOAD appears in the device list, but marks it as not specified.

[Q] AT&T LG G3 D850 Bootlooping/Bricked Issue?

Hello. So I woke up two days ago to my AT&T LG G3 continuously boot-looping. With further investigation (and many attempts to factory reset), I come to the conclusion it might definitely be bricked. It does let me go to the factory reset screen and download mode, so I'm assuming it's soft-bricked.:crying:
I've been through many forums and many sites, accumulating all sorts of downloads which include LG Flash Tool 2014, LG United Mobile Driver, the stock firmware for the D850, the .dll file, LG PC suite (which will not connect to my phone[in download mode]), and a couple others. On all these tutorials, there was always a stopping point because I either could not find the correct file it was telling me to find (so I tried different downloads and zilch), or was not connecting to my phone.
Wondering why anything I tried was not connecting to the phone, I went to the device manager to look at the ports, and it showed me QHSUSB_BULK under the "Other Devices" List. (Note: There was no option for the ports. Not sure why.)
I tried to find the driver online and install it and I tried a couple different files and they all had the same message of encountering an error.
My phone is in download mode, ready and physically connected. I am now not sure what move to make at this point.
HELP!
Also, the driver site I used showed all the driver downloads to fix the QHSUSB_BULK issue, and they all said Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008. I'm not sure what that means, or if knowing more about that can help me fix this problem. I would like to know more about that as well.. Thank you!
{UPDATE} {6/2}
So I found a way for the computer to read my phone (well, a little bit). I needed to get it to read it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". It's more of a step in the right direction. I still need it to eventually read it as LGE whatever it is. So I got it to QD loader mode by downloading the correct driver file after many sad attempts and many computer restarts later. Unfortunately, I still am having trouble finding the correct DL's to get it to read it as my phone. I'm also told I can flash it through BoardDiag. I've been attempting to do so but again having no luck. It keeps saying there's either a file it doesn't want in there (after extracting .mbn files [which I have no idea what i'm supposed to do with them]), or it says "There is no partition file(rawprogram0.xml). Mainly the latter. This is currently where I'm stuck at.

What i'm wondering is about the KDZ files. I ended up with a few different ones. I'm not sure where those are supposed to be located

That's why I said you'll need the .TOT, I couldn't find any .kdz files . follow the instructions that use the .tot file I think it's the second post I'm not sure .

Found what you meant, didn't realize there was another set of instructions underneath the KDZ post. But Step #5 tells me to copy the the Megalock.dll into the C:\LG\LGFlashtool file. I have the dll extracted and ready to go, now I cannot find the the Flashtool file. I enabled hidden files and it's still non-existent. I used the file that was given to me.

Yup I know. I'm home from work now. Go to this site and download the LG Flash Tool https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B34qnFE3O_HbcHM5LWFKcU84WjA/edit
It will install, and that's the proper flash tool so you can put the megalock.dll file there.
---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------
I assume you can follow instructions, but since I've done this about 5 times now lol I'll just walk you through it. Make SURE the right drivers are installed on the PC for the phone. Plug the device in to the computer. Open Device Manger on the computer. Go to the Ports section in device manager, double click your device, go to Port Settings tab, click Advanced, and change the port com number to 41. Hit OK, then OK again. Then open the Flash Tool. The screen should pop up eventually, click manual in the upper left corner, click the little ... dots to the right of the blank box that says DLL and find the DLL file you already downloaded. Then under that, where it says S/W, click the Add button to the right and find the .TOT file. Leave all other selections the way they are. click ok. On the next screen, click the little yellow arrow in the upper left hand corner. It will start doing things for a second and then stop. Now unplug your phone from the computer, leave it out a second, then plug it back in. Bam, everything should start working. When it's COMPLETELY done you will see a number 3 on the screen. Pull the battery, put it back in, you're done.

That's where my problem is.. It isn't giving me the port option. It says QHSUSB_BULK under neath the tab "other devices" there is literally no Ports and Com LPT option. When I click view > devices by connections, the QHSUSB_BULK shows up under a tab called "Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Root Hub". Not sure if that means anything in any way. I downloaded and installed the LG Drivers and they were successful. But nothing is showing up. I would send a picture but i started this account today just for this issue so it won't let me send any external links.

Well that's interesting. I've never come across that issue before. I did some googling and I'm thinking Renesas is the manufacturer of an important component inside our phones, I didn't get too deep into it. I did also find this , but i wouldn't try it unless you're absolutely sure there's no other way you can fix your device. It sounds kinda risky. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853

1 problem with that, Are you using a USB 3.0 port and or a USB hub? That can be your problem, It needs to be plugged directly into the computer AND it WONT work with a USB 3.0 port. USB 2.0 port only.
About the com port not showing up, Are you running Windows 8? That might be the cause.

Im a little confused as to whats going on here, having trouble finding the correct DLL? Theres only 1 DLL file for the D850 which is in my guide.
You should just plug in your phone while holding volup and it will go into download mode, You change the LGE com port to com41 and your good to go to use flashtool.

What downloads are not? Link? I have 1,000s of files. And there's no problems with any of the files in my guide currently.
It was down for about 1min this morning and down about 5 min earlier due to upgrades and reboots but other wise they have been working.

I followed your original guide letter by letter and it worked just fine....but only after I uninstalled all android related drivers and only installed LGs. I had Motorola drivers for my previous 3 android phones already installed and something between the Moto and LG drivers didn't quite jive.
And a big tip I highly recommend is to only use a USB 2 port that's directly connected to the motherboard. Simply changing from the front panel to the back port fixed all the flashing errors my Atrix HD was having. I've always used a back port since and every bad flash after that has been either user error or a bad download (md5 ftw).
You said a lot of that, but Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears and all.

Samsung galaxy note edge (sm-n915f) super bricked - need help urgent

Hi Guys,
For unknown reasons my fone went DEAD (BLACK SCREEN... NOT A SINGLE SIGN ON CHARGING OR USB).. Need advice what to do ??? is it dead or can be brought back to life by FLASHING ???
Any senior member or someone please help me ...

If you connect to pc how will it be?try charge it first.then connect to pc.if detect, flash stock rom.if cant,try find spare battery just in case.

FOne is not showing any charge sign or anything... just QD LOADER 9008 in Device Manager

Do you see charging light when you plug in the charger?
As long as the phone receiving power you can fix it.

Try connect to kies.does it detect or not? if you able to flash. try flash it to 5.0.1

What was the battery level (approx.)when the phone died?
You might want to try cleaning the battery and internal phone contacts with some Isopropyl Alcohol and a Qtip.
See if that helps.

No Sir still no solution of this problem

I helped a good man, he sent an image of the device. I recorded this image of the sdcard and the device will start with "Download" mode. Next, it is necessary to firmware flashing.
915F - sorry - region "SER". But the main thing - is to run the device, further will flashing firmware what you need.
Site do not give insert a link to a file. Write me in the mail - "[email protected]" I'll send a link to file/
Write the file need with program "win32 disk imager". If this method does not help is probably a problem with the hardware.
Good luck.

As per the screen shot posted it seems your pc picked up the correct driver. Now all you need to install is Odin. Then go to samobile.com and search your phone under Firmware. Make sure you got the exact model (pull out the battery and look for exact model #). Once downloaded go to Odin and check AP and select the file you downloaded. Then put your phone on Download Mode by pressing Vol Up + PWR at same time. Follow the instructions on your phone screen.
Once you connect your phone to pc it will show up as Port 3 or 4 or wherever the driver is connected to.
** As long as on Odin your phone gets picked up you will be able to push the firmware. Once you can do that you pretty much fixed it. If it's wtong fw then you will get a notice right away, if it's correct then you see the progress bar changing.

BL is corrupted, need to repair it,
Since this is a Qualcomm based device, you can flash only BL files to an SD Card then boot your device from that card until you get into Download mode,
then reflash the device with Odin,
Follow this guide:
1. Download debrick (BL) file from HERE,
2. Download Win32DiskImager from HERE,
3. Get an 32GB SD Card and connect it to PC,
4. Setup Win32 and Run it then do as the following picture,
5. Just let it finish, Then disconnect the SD Card,
6. Make sure the device's battery is well charged,
7. Put the SD Card into the phone,
8. Now you need to boot device into Download mode either by using USB JIG or by holding (Vol-, Home and Power),
9. Once device boot into Download, Pull out the SD,
10. Now just flash the phone with Latest FW (either Factory or One-Package will do the job),
11. There is no 11, we're done ..
##NOTE: Solution is TESTED and it works.

@mirosaw2 Will this also work with the SM-N915FY? Will this keep my data (contacts, SMS, photos etc) on the internal storage? I have my SM-N915FY in a state where it wouldn't recognize any commands, but it makes a connect / disconnect sound on my Windows computer when I just connect it via USB...
My original question is here.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/note-edge-sm-n915fy-bricked-dreadful-t3754559
