[BRICK] my sgr died today :( - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

before 20 mins i was surfing xda using tapatalk whith my sgr with wifi connected, than i put my phone and gone away for just a moment and after that when i picked up my phone it was maybe switched off, i thought its gone hang so i tried reseting phone with long pressing power button but no luck, than i removed battery re inserted it but my phone is not powering up, i tried connecting both charger and usb cable but nothing its f...ked up.
now main problem is i cant give it to SSC as i was running XWLA4 build with titanium and unknownzd's kerne any suggestions guys? plz suggest
(i have tried inserting usb jig after re inserting battery but its not powering up)
EDIT: my odin counter is 0, is there any way to flash all the data stored on phone (including system memory) so that i can claim in ssc that its not booting, and after they boot it they dont find that its using custom stuff?

sorry, i think you are in problem nothing we can do now better take it to Service Center..

You can try repair dead APX mode method if you have a backup of your efs folder. Tried that once just to reset counter, maybe it could bring your phone back from the dead.

i do have backup. i just wanna boot my phone in download phone so that i can flash stock indian and atleast can dive in ssc

update: just phone booted in download mode but not able flash using odin its saying error: nand size big

My R died once too, but when I removed sdcard and put it in a freezer for like 10 minutes and then I could boot it up and it was working as long as I didn't turn the screen off - it was enough to do a backup and so on.

Stupid questions, but are you following the guide in 4-5th post? Did the steps above Odin went fine? Last but not the least are you using PIT file to re-partition with Odin?

after trying some times finaly i succeed to falsh but now my phone is in boot loop

guys my phone is not displaying storage drives in recovery mode what the hell is happening now
have anyone tried this method before to recover his sgr? have faced such prob?

Congrats. Now you can atleast take it ssc right?
Maybe you could try the process again just one more time to be sure, only if you want. I'd prefer taking it to ssc

finally my phone is booted perfectly, restored cwm backup and now its going ok but my imei is messed up, my whole 3.5 gb internal sd has been flashed (it was full of game data files which i took many night times to download )
if i want now i can claim a BRAND NEW MOTHERBOARD as my imei is messed lol

Didn't you restore the efs folder? That should solve the imei issue.

Ok this actually sounds similiar to something that happened to me, so here goes:
Was using Odin back to stock and something went wrong during. The phone screen went into a rainbow/starry clusterfack and then black. Couldn't get into download mode or anything, everytime I booted the stars came back or nothing at all. So eventually I just did what I would do if going into download, pulled batt, plugged in while holding volumes. Nothing came on to the screen but decided to continue, so I hit the volume up do accept the warning screen even though I couldn't see it and finally my phone showed up on my PC. Hit start in Odin and it worked and downloaded luckily. Sorry for the long explanation but, give this a try.
odins not seeing nothing from left to right i see
a phone --!--and a pc with a black screen some how it looks like its in some ultra low download mode :/
i see this

Never seen that but, it looks like your phone is having problems connecting to your PC, try rebooting the PC and then reconnect usb and phone.
Also I did a little googling, and I believe it means a bad flash, some ppl have fixed by a hard reset so try that link.
Here's the thread with different options, not our phone but same situation: thread

That is a form of download mode. Open odin and try connecting phone to pc ans see if odin reads it. If it doesnt kerp trying it will eventually. I had this hapoen to my captivate

yeah this phone its hardcore unbrickable... haha as bbwolf said its just a DL screen that usually appears (at least to me) when i connect the infuse and use odin with front or externally conected USB ports also happened to me in all 3 ports of my bro laptop
Instead using the back USB ports will prevent the outpowering of the usb port and you will flash flawlessly but Infuse its harcore you really have to mess things up to brick it... if even possible 0.o
If happens again relax... go to a desktop and flash with a back USB u will be back on track in notime
Samething happened to me, I ended up getting a factory replacement. The same day I placed the order with att I finally got Odin to work.

Had that exact screen when my phone took a tumble half way in a odin flash I took battery out plugged back in and odin recognized and flashed took a really long time though to flash longer than normal not sure why

Skyrocket Stuck on ATT Rethink Possible Bootup screen

I tried flashin to stock firmware through Odin, and it said it passed/ flashed successfully yet my phone just stays on the at&t Logo, any advice?
I NEED my phone for work tomorrow and it's already getting late. I've reflashed twice now. I'm starting to panic.

My phone wont even connect to Keis Air, i tried connecting my phone while its in download mode and when its stuck in the rethink possible screen. Still wont connect to Keis Air.
They way I was able to fix mine was to first open Kies then select initialize firmware and connect phone to USB port in back of PC. Follow the prompts they will ask for model number and serial number it is located under battery. Select OK. Once firmware is finished Downloading it will prompt you to accept, disconnect phone from PC and then place phone in DL mode by removing battery reinsert battery press volume +- and then volume + to continue once you do that then connect phone to PC via USB and follow screen prompt on PC. It took me about one hour for mine to finally return to stock. I'm going from memory because I'm not sitting in front of computer at this time. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can help. Good luck.

Go to Samsung and make up something, if Odin can't recognize it or you can't get into recovery, you cannot flash anything.

Help please.

I am in a state of fear, fear that if i turn off my phone and turn it back on it wil go straight into emergency mode.
Its very wierd,my pc running on windows 7 doesnt recognise my phone(all drivers are intact and installed) in both emergency mode and booted mode and even when the phone is off and i plug in usb,the yellow screen of emergency just pops up. Also i cant boot my phone cause one touch at the power button and yellow screen pops up. The good news though is,after countless attempt at taking out battery then inserting it again and trying to power on,the phone wil boot normaly again. And one more wierd thing is, if wen inserting the usb,the emergency screen doesnt pop up(happens rarely) but lg logo does,then my laptop recognises my phone,and in this way i change my rom from OpenOptimus 2.2.01 to stock v2.3 using kdz updater. Right now its booted and runing normaly except for usb mass storage mode and usb tethering(cuz my laptop doesnt recognize my phone)
I know smethng is wrng with my phone bt i dnt knw wat. Pls help me!

Calm down man.
Let's try and go through the options.
Was it always like this with the yellow screen? WHat did you do to get it there?
Try a reset in settings manually. This will bring it back to brand new state.
Hopefully we will be able to resolve this.
Hit Thanks if you found this useful.
First thing if something is wrong is a factory reset.
second, be precise on what you did that soft-bricked your phone...
Thanx in advance for trying to help.
Wel i am nt realy sure how and wen the problem started.
As far as i remembered my phone had the folowing.
1. Cmw recovry(from rom manager)
2. Link2sd wit 500 mb ext2 partition in sd card.
3. Open optimus rom 2.2.02
4. Set cpu to enhance gaming.
And as far as i remember, the problem started wen i tried to boot into cmw recovery.
Pls help.

Try this,
Switch off the phone then,turn on the phone pressing and holding Power + Home + Down volume key at the same time (for five seconds), the phone will turn on and perform factory reset immediately.

Maybe, it is a hardware issue. The phone being physically broken? Because if the prob persists even after a reset and a flash, well I am a bit unsure.
Could it be the bootloader?and if so, is there a way to fix it back to factory setting? Cuz i dnt think it wil boot at all if its hardware problem.

Hey,
Anyway, it could be a small hardware issue like disconnected wire or broken circuit or somthing.
You could try and re-lock the bootloader.
definitely hardware failure coz my ancient z71 acting almost juz like that before

after looping in emergency mode for few days,and me trying to revive it my phone is now dead.
i cant do anything with it except take it to service centre.:crying:

Tab got water in it dry'd out now any ideas or advice to restart?

last week my 7.7 got wet.noted that the camera flash was flashing on and off.and staying on..
first step i reoved the screen from the front with metal sim card tool.
then disconnect battery,then remove all circit boards etc.
next step i put it n a box of uncooked rice to dry it out.not sure if best way but works..
today i decided to try it so re assembled it again.
plugged it in and found its charging with battery icon when plugged into charger..
first sign of hope..
try to turn it on..
loads up alittle no noise then boot loop at samsung logo.
try go download mode...
sucsess have got download mode.. but cant get recovery mode it starts but hangs up and boot screen again.
(my last rom was multiwindow 3.5 skyhigh rom.)
try flash sfock JB rom with odin..
finnish get pass..
reboot get noise but stuck again with bootloop.
try flash twrp 2.6.0 so can try wipe.....
twrp wont load up after pass in odin..
reflash stock jb but no luck again....
can anyone think of anything i could try?
or recommend another recovery?
i accept it maybe is all over but would like to try to fix it...after seeing something on screen i have hope it can work again...
just bought a note 3 now so dont need it but would like to have it back for watching movies at work...
Put it on charge now for a while...
Update checked recovery mode and have got stock recovery to work now.
Can I do a factory reset with stock recovery or is that not adviseable?
