help?!

ok.. i was on s7/hellraiser with infusion kernel. since running this rom, my pc no longer recognized my phone. i tried flashing a rom thru cm7 but got stuck on the samsung logo. after, i tried flashing back to s7 & infused, as they are both on my sd card, thru red CWM, but im still getting stuck at the samsung logo. my pc wont recognize the phone to odin back to stock so.... wat can i do??? plz and thnx

Did you try using Heimdall? Some have better luck with that. A factory data reset might fix your problem, because you seem to be flashing a lot of roms over each other. The bootloop might be fixed by a reset, if not try again with Heimdall. Otherwise I don't know what to tell you
Edit: Try using a different USB Port on the computer or even a different PC all together. Also try using another cord.

sounds like a driver issue. install ubuntu and use heimdall. that'll fix any driver problems
try pulling the batter and inserting it with odin open, the usb cable inserted, and holding down the volume bar. after that doesn't work delete and reinstall the drivers. or go with linux and never have a driver issue with the phone again ( may have driver issues with video and wifi and attached devices though)

in heimdall once you load all the files (no pit because you don't have bootloaders) click flash or start or whatever. if the phones isn't connected it will let you know.
there is also heimdall oneclick return to stock. set the. jar file as executable and launch in terminal. the thread on oneclick should explain the comand needed and how to install heimdall backend from inside heimdall oneclick (if you don't have it already.)

did you install the android SDK

Captivate totally unresponsive

Hi Guys,
I was on ICS and was going to wipe out everything and reinstall everything fresh. I got stuck on the Icy glitch Kernel and so I decided to use ODIN and go back to stock. I think the extraction of Odin was not done properly and as a result when I flashed it did all the steps but when it got to the reset step the phone did not reboot. And now it is totally unresponsive,
Is there anything I can do to revive it?
Thank you

Which Odin back to Stock did you use ? Can u still get into download mode ? Does your phone show any signs of life at all...even when plugged into a wall charger ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium

Well if your phone isn't even booting up then u might have to resort to puting it in download either using a JIG OR using a three button method that can be found somewhere in the forums or through google. Also try to see if this version of odin works for you:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I think I'm bricked, what should I do?

I flashed a Jellybean touchwiz rom for Verizon GS3, and went to reboot and now nothing, zero zip nada. No charging led light, no way to get into recovery and no response.
Anything I can do?

what happens when you do vol up + home+power button?

Absolutely nothing. I tried to get back into the recovery to see if I could restore my backup and nope.

did you try leave it pluged in for 30mins ?
does it vibrate once when you try to turn it on?

No vibrating and no sign of life at all. Even when plugged into my computer, I was going to try the unbrick guide but it listed that I should be able to get into the recovery still.

leave it plugged in for a while to make sure its not drained battery
do you have a usb jig?

I don't have a USB jig but this is possibly good news. I removed the battery and SD card and plugged it into my computer and it tried to install drivers (failed but tried) and the led light comes on red.

if your gettin led now you more then likely need to let it charge

It doesn't give me the led with the battery in

Plug it into a wall charger for at least 30 or even better if you can get a battery from someone.

I think its gone still nothing.

red led means qualcomm download mode. sounds dead to me

Yeah, haha. I saw it and mentally prepared myself for it. Literally just got the phone today so Verizon had no qualms with just sending me a new phone. Guess I'm reactivating my Rezound in the meantime. Thanks for the help guys.

you know
I am surprised. That also happened to me the first time i flashed that very same rom (touchwiz) with twrp . I have done this so many times , i literarily can flash a rom on the way to work .
I was in shock , i still dont know how the heck can i flash a rom and brick .
I plugged mine into windows and i got the device manager driver error from hell . and my phone never came back up again
I stayed away form twrp and touchwiz and i still cant possibly comprehend how a simple rom flash can brick my phone .

Which ROM did you flash?

you could probably send it to get Jtag'ed for around $60 if your warranty is invalid (ie used device)

You just hard bricked it. I did the same thing. Check here - post 5 shows the same symptoms :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770341
And here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791721
I was pushing a copy of root66 that I hadn't md5'd. Took a JTAG to bring me back (twice) .
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

So, in the future, md5 checksum absolutely everything since I'm assuming now that that is why this happened? (Since I made doubly sure I was flashing a rom for my phone).

If you still have the file you downloaded, you can check it. That would answer that question. If it checks out fine, then we have to look elsewhere for the problem.
BTW, MobileTechVideos.com can bring you back - based on my experience with them, I highly recommend.

Please share exactly what you did so others can benefit from your unfortunate experience.
What ROM did you flash?
Did you use ODIN or a recovery?
If recovery, which one - CWM or TWRP?
Was there any unusual condition you can think of ... low battery, USB connected to computer or to charger, etc?

remove clockwork

my usb port has failed. i cant charge, or get it to work on a computer at all. if i restart it while its plugged in it will show its "charging" but looses about 1% battery every 5 mins. is there a way to return to stock, unroot, and remove clockwork without the use of a computer and odin, cause i cant get it to recognize, even trying on 3 different computers, and the toothpick trick, and restarting it while plugged in. the techs i talked to said the usb seems to have failed, and to do a factory warranty im sure it needs to be total stock, and my custom counter was never tripped. thank you in advance

First try with a different cable. Often times this does fix things at least for a bit. Secondly if that does not work, then while plugged in remove the battery, wait for a few seconds say 15 or so, and replace the battery. Hold in the power button while doing so, as well as you can try the Vol + & - buttons. See if that gets you into recovery.
If all fails, then you might end up having to pay to have the usb repaired.

I believe vincom has posted an excellent method for unrooting and returning to stock without Odin in his stickies. I suggest you take your search there.

I've tried several cables to no avial. I can unroot using vincoms method but that still boots clockwork not Odin since the USB has failed . I didn't know if there was a way to remove it since it wont boot stock recovery. I have all the stock fw just no way to flash.

If you can temp-root by any means, do that and from temp root use dd to overwrite the recovery with stock one.

Your having problems with your phones USB port.

bender is right, there is a link in my "restore to stock" and the 1stop sticky for returning to full stock w/a dead usb port if you can get into cwm/twrp, i asked for it to be stickied but to no avail, here you go HOW TO INSTALL STOCK ICS W/OUT ODIN USING CWM/TWRP - even w/a DEAD USB Port , its really easy, all files needed are in the op, you just need to be able to boot into cwm or twrp, but be warned, if you install the stock recovery on a phone w/a dead usb port you wont be able to install a custom recovery again, so make sure the flashed stock firmware boots properly before flashing the stock recovery.

I found it and it sticks in bootloop. Sorry I left my working phone at work and couldn't reply. I can't get it to wipe it freezes but I see your post to fix it ill try that. Thank you vincom I just kept missing it spazzing lol.

you need to get into recovery and do a reset data and wipe cache partition, you should be good by then, you did get to the part to flash the stock recovery right, if yes then it really doesnt matter since it is stock and you are returning for warranty repair/exchange

Constant rebooting

I have the cricket model. Sometime last night my phone started rebooting on every ROM and kernel. Nothing I do will get it to stop. It doesn't happen in TWRP and that's it. I thought maybe it was a battery issue as I haven't been able to fully charge it because of this issue but that's not helping either. I've been trying to use the upgrade tool but in this state the computer never even recognizes the phone and I can't even get that far, plus it reboots even when in download mode. I'm about to call cricket and see if they can just send me a new one since I've only had it a week but is there anything I can do? Does anyone have a boot IMG for complete stock 60450 ?!? EDIT: Got the tool to recognize phone and start process but what do ya know phone reboots even deep into download mode. It just always wants to restart to the system for some reason, except for when on twrp. UPDATE:EDIT: Turns out the reason the upgrade app wasn't working is because i didn't have enough space for the update to download on the PC . I didn't realize because the app never stated why it was restarting my phone or disconnecting so I just assumed it was related to why my phone kept restarting on all ROMs. Wow lol I feel so damn stupid for not thinking of this 2 days ago. Its installing now and hopefully this fixes my reboot issues. Thanks to everybody here for helping and answering my 1000 question's on every post. Really appreciate it.

it looks like motherboard is gone. I hope you can return it when you have custom rom installed.

I've had the phone for one week lol. Motherboard is gone? Could something be messed up in build prop somewhere? I did try to use a DPI changer app on stock rom once or maybe xposed? I've done a lot of flashing since I got it trying to find the perfect setup. I just noticed that the USB cable it came with is crap so now that I'm using a different one I'm hoping that low discalobrated battery was the issue. Charging it up proper and gonna see what happens after. Also for some strange reason the Flyme OS ROM is the only one that doesent seem to want to restart as often. It still does but it lasts a lot longer before doing so , why idk lol.

turn off the phone, charge it fully and then run the upgrade tool to go back to stock.

I wasnt previously able to corectly charge becauss when i would turn the phone off to charge it wpuld power up instead of gking to the charging acreen. I think the USB cable that came with the phone might have been faulty and I just didn't notice it somehow. Now that I've charged the phone to 50% Flyme is up and running without a reboot, although running quite hot....which could also be the issue. Maybe the metal on the USB tip got toasted. That would explain my reboots in download mode but it doesent explain why the phone never once rebooted on me while in twrp and why it would reboot even while not being charged and had like 30%. Gonna charge it up to 100 and try the tool again.

if you can boot to flyme, and got no reboots in TWRP i suggest you flash from TWRP your previously mad ebackup..if you dont have any, just flash stock kernel or look here in threads, there was a thread and it contains TWRP backup of stock rom..if you find TWRP backup of your STOCK 6045O then flash it from TWRP, and if you dont observe nay reboots, it was due to the kernel. IF it still reboots send it to warranty repair.

Well I'm back on CM now with no reboots. I guess my USB cable just sucked and my battery calibration was off so the battery was showing more than it actually had and probably causing instability. However, I still can't get the tool to work. It just reboots at around 22% exiting me out of download mode. BTW I've searched and scowled almost every thread and I can't find a stock kernel. There's the arde one but I thought that was just his custom kernel for stock. And the twrp back up I definitely can't find. I seen the thread but there was no link.

If it was the USB cable why is mobile upgrade tool rebooting the device at 22%? It makes no sense. It could be the pins on the usb socket on the phone or i dont know.
You should ask someone with the 6045O device to send you the boot.img (aka kernel) of stock 6045O.

Well I first noticed my cable was funky when I loaded up Flyme it kept making an unplug sound and I thought it was just the ROM glitching out but I changed the cable and it stopped. About the tool......I have a Windows tablet that it's only USB connection is one of those mini USB to full adapters and it's a little loose. I have zero problems with it plugging my phone into it for file transfer or for adb, it's all fine there so idk why it would be causing an issue with the tool, last time I tried it k specifically made sure all connections were sturdy and didn't move the whole time and it still rebooted. I noticed somebody in one of the threads said his device did the same thing though and that's why he couldn't use the tool as well......nobody ever replied to him lol

Ahh I spoke to soon. Restored my stock, because that's what I prefer for even at OC it still doesent make the phone nearly as hot as CM ROMs and the restarts came right back even with a decent charged battery. I'm back on CM again though and its not happening. Doesent make much sense because before the restarts were happening across all ROMs. It can't be the kernel in my stock restore as I had used it a bunch of times before with no issues...... Though it is saved on my external SD..... But so is the cm build I'm using. Idk whats going on here. Just wanna return the phone to full stock and call it a day lol. Edit: spoke to soon again lol. There goes CM rebooting, although it took way longer than stock to do so.
