[Q] HELP!!!

Ok, I think I totaly screwed up my captivate. I was trying to update to froyo 2.2 using the Odin one click method, but that didn't work, so instead I tried to instal it by following this guide on youtube (can't post link - new user)
after I did the adb reboot recovery my phone went to the recovery screen. heres what all it says:
update media, please wait...
update media, finished
#MANUA MODE#
--applying muti-csc...
installing muti0csc
mps_dat val:SER
copy_multi_carrier from: SER
multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/SER/system/
copy_common_data
I tried to select any of the options in recovery mode, update, fatory reset, etc, but I can't select it. I know you're suposed to use the power button to select, but it does nothing. I think its because of the firmware shown on that website, where you would typically use a home key to select.
Please help! I've been working on this thing for hours and I'm completely lost! Is there anything I can do to fix it, or is it totally bricked?

ok my phones now restarted, and its running froyo 2.2, however its turning the wrong orentation and I'm note sure if I can use restart recovery. I just want to put this thing back to factory software!

use the odin 1 click for stock firmware and to update you dont go into recovery you go into download mode

Thanks! I got it back up and running now. In the progress of restoring my backups. Man after this mess, I'm just going to wait for froyo 2.2 to come out...

[Q] SGS i-9000 dead?

Yes, 1 post = noob......well spotted
My SGS GT I-9000 will not even load now. Here is the history:
Australian phone running 2.2 (optus)
Rooted it and installed a Darky rom (9.something I think, worked fine)
Then installed DarkyROM_v10.2.2_Extreme_Edition (worked fine)
A friend recommended CyanogenMod, so I installed CyanogenMod-7.1 (I did not do a nand back up)
Not really feeling CyanogenMod, so want to remove it.
Tried installing 2 other roms in the usual methods and would not load them, kept defaulting back to CyanogenMod-7.1.
Then tried to install a stock rom with the following process:
1. Make sure you have extracted the contents of the Firmware and ODIN rar files to a folder.
2. Turn off your phone and boot into the Download Mode (Volume DOWN+Home+Power Button).
3. Start ODIN. Then connect the phone to the computer. ODIN will say 'Added!'.
4. Then, in ODIN, select the following file in PDA: JPY_JPY_JPY.tar
5. Leave everything else as it is shown in the screenshot below:
5. Now, click on Start.
6. When ODIN says 'Close serial port and wait until rebooting', and the phone reboots, disconnect the phone from the computer.
Now my phone boots into the original SGS boot sequence and then stays blank and every 1 minute or so vibrates. It will not boot into recovery mode (Up+Menu+Power) or download mode (Down+Menu+Power).
I loaded Samsung Kies onto my PC. It recognises the phone as a SGS GT I-9000, but can not access anything.
Do I have a dead SGS?
Cheers

[Q] Galaxy tab 7.7 p6800 on official ics blocked

Hi everyone,
For two days, my tablet (p6800gt officially ics rom via odin for some months), without any particular manipulation does not start ... when I plug the battery charger ,the battery icon display without any progression.when I unplugged the battery and I tried to start the tablet, it remains blocked on the samsung boot logo .impossible to access the recovery mode to do a factory reset ... I can only get to download mode (power + volume down). I tried to reflash the official ics rom via odin pc without results ... I'm looking in the forums for 48 hours ... I'm completely lost and I really like this tablet ... who can help me? ! .. Thanks in advance.....Sorry for my bad english

What you could do is to flash a cwm recovery Odin version as you have access to the download mode.
Then you may have access to the recovery mode to do a factory reset then try to reflash any official ROM.
Don't forget to be patient after the ROM reflash (at least 10 or 15 mn wait)... ^^
If that doesn't work, redo previous operation, go to recovery ==> advanced mode, and format all available partitions (backup your external sdcard if you have one)... and do the flash again...

Greetings;
Have you solved your problem?
If not, tell me what Android version are you running on your device?
i.e: Gingerbread; Ice Cream Sandwich; Jelly Bean or KitKat.
Assuming you are running stock firmware i believe that either your brother flashed a wrong CF-Root for your device or used an application that could not root your device properly.
Either ways don't worry since your device can enter both Download and Recovery modes, it means that you can debug it.
[Rooting]
The best way to root this device is by flashing CF-Root file.
By flashing this file (CF-Root) you will be installing:
- ClockWork Mod Recovery
- Script that will root (automatically) your device.
- ext4 application. (do some research to know what ext4 is and how it os often used)
Small note: Since you will be rooted you will be able to overclock or underclock your device as well increase your device performance and battery duration.
Just PM me or do some research if you need some info regarding these configuration and settings.
[Fixing your issue]
Download Universal CF-Root here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056
Read the instructions before proceeding.
Now boot your device under Download Mode.
To do so:
Unplug USB Cable, Power Off your device and press the following key combination:
Vol.Down + Menu/Home Button + Power Button.
Release when the device enters download mode.
Now open Odin.
Under [PDA] load the CF Root File you've downloaded.
(Do NOT change any options inside odin if you dont know what they are for. Or you may get your device useless).
Put down your device so movement is done into the USB Cable (just to prevent bad flashing when you have low quality USB Cable).
Press Start and let the operation to complete.
Odin will display a message saying: "Pass" highlighted with Green.
Check if your device restarts (it may not restart yet)
If your device boots properly backup your data and follow the next step. If it doesnt boot properly follow to the next step.
Voot your device into recovery mode.
To do so: Power off your device and make sure it is not charging or connected to USB cable.
Then press and hold the following key combination:
Vol. Up + Menu/Home Button + Power Button.
Release after the Boot Logo is shown and you will enter recovery mode.
Now you will perform a Factory Reset.
Inside CWM select by the following order:
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Clean Cache
- Factory Reset
Note that Dalvik Cache is not shown at the main menu.
I dont remember the location exactly but if im not mistaken you can find it under "Advanced".
After you perform these 3 options the device shall reboot properly.
(it may take a little bit longer this time. Just be patient).
Since i dont know what was done to your device, there is still a chance that your device wont boot.
Either ways please let me / us (at XDA) know if it worked for you.
It is important (at least for me as a quality standard) that you are able to repair your device.
Best Regards
Please press thank button if this helped you. Since this will keep me motivated to continue helping.

Thanks for your reply. Frankly speaking I don't remember which Android version I was using may be Gingerbread (Is this important)
I downloaded "bagaria-09.GT-I9003_PDA.tar" from the link given by you and following procedure that you have mentioned. After odin says "Pass" I switched off my mobile and started in Recover mode it took around 15-20 mins to show recovery option. after this performed
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Clean Cache
- Factory Reset
and then Reboot. As you said phone is stucked on boot image for more than 15 mins then an loop on "SAMSUNG" logo after more 15 mins phone is showing "kernel panic upload mode"
Can you help me further?

Hello amoghs;
Again sorry for answering after so long; I'm not so often at XDA Lately.
Yes.
1st: Try Remove the Battery, then Put it Back and Try Again.
If this doens't Work:
1) Turn your Device Off and Press:
Vol. UP + Home Button + Power (To Enter CWM / Your Recovery Mode)
2) Select: "Factory Reset"
Let me know how it worked for you.
Note:
- After Flashing a ROM it is Normal that your Device Takes a little Longer to Boot on the "1st" time.
- Phone Stuck on Boot Logo and Looping: Boot Issues (Either Requires to Remove and Place Back the Battery; or Re-Flash the ROM or Stock Rom in a Difficult Stage).
Notes:
- After a Flash Perform a Factory Reset (To Clean Up Old Stuff).
- If you Experience: "Kernel Panic":
a) Remove Battery and Place it Back - (Works on Most Cases)
b) Flash your ROM again and DO NOT Instal Custom Kernel (May be Wrong Kernel or Bad/Incompatible Kernel Programming)
c) Phone Restarts by Himself: Reflash ROM, Try MinFreeManager or Similar APK (Application). Try "Optimal" Settings. (I dont recall the Presets names - But you can Safely test them - Even if device gets stuck. You can always revert to previous state).
d) Any Hard-to-Solve Issues: Just do a "Clean Flash" of STOCK Gingerbread (Check Sammobile Website - Invalid Download Links Just send email to Support Requesting the File)
or Flash "DDLF2 2.3.6 (Also Gingerbread). But always try Stock 1st to remove most issues, and only then Flash your Desired ROM.
Also if you haven't fixed the Boot Issue already: Do note that you can recover your device Boot.
NOT Dead Yet!
Please do let me know if you solved your Boot problem.
Best Regards;

Galaxy S6 Hard bricked need help

So i wanted to root my Galaxy S6 and found a tutorial.
My smartphone was 6.0.1 and the modellnumber was GM-G920F
I installed the SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G920F kernel on "Ap" in Odin,
after that the TWRP 3.0 also on "Ap" in odin.
I started it and the root was sucessfull but after i restarted i was stuck in bootloop.
Read somewhere online that i should wipe all data so it could recover to stock version ( i know i where stupid on that moment but i panicked), and i did it.
The only thing that was left on my handy is twrp, the normal down+home buttin odin mode doesn't work anymore.
Only option was to reboot into download mode in TWRP. I downloaded the 1,8 Gba stock md5 version for Galaxy S6 and tried to install it with odin. Sadly it stops every time after "hidden image" it fails.
I hope someone can help me.
(sry for bad english, isn't my native languange)

First install the s6-modem file with Odin.after install the vador Rom for the s6 using twrp install zip file vador Rom and u should be fine!!
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

use smart switch an everything will be fine and flash supersu 2.71 next time to dont get bootloop

I connect my S6 to smart switch and it says its not compatible? Says Galaxy S6 not compatible.

[email protected] did u read my text? It says that i can't install the modem bc there is absolutly no firmware on the smartphone and it doesn't let me install one.
[email protected], i have the same problem like [email protected]
Its an unknown device for smart switch.

Power down your phone completely. Boot up in download mode (power + home + volume down). Open Smart Switch and click on "More" on the right upper side of the window, "Emergency software recovery and initialization". Click on the "Software update and initialization" tab. Insert the model of your phone, e.g. SM-G920F and click search. Now insert the S/N of your phone. You can see it on the bottom back of your phone. Click confirm and it will Download the latest stock firmware for your phone. From this point on it's self explanatory. You have to be patient because it's a long process.
