i have a real problem, trying to flash my samsung vibrant with odin, (installing the unofficial update) my phone was bricked, i cant get into download mode, the key combination vol-up + vol-down to get to download mode is not working, i can't get into recovery mode either, (well getting into recovery mode has never worked) i tried using adb reboot recovery with sdk and it comes as device not found.
Am i screwed or there is any way to unbrick?

Take out the battery, wait a full minute. put it back in and the case back together without inadvertantly hitting either the power or up/down keys. Now press the down key. While holding it down, hold down the power key. If that doesn't put you into download mode, you have done the impossible. These phones are (almost) impossible to brick.
I have seemed to have done the something similar as I was trying to reflash with ODIN and the phone went black, I left it alone for several minutes and now when I try to turn the phone on I just have a graphic with a phone and a computer with a little triangle with an exclaimation mark in the middle and nothing else happens.

I really think i have the done impossible, there is no download mode nor recovery mode, (well, this has never worked) i don't know what to do, i'm getting my phone replaced.
I tried using adb on my computer, but the device is not found, my computer doesn't recognize my device.

i beg to differ
nothing is working for me either
So I went to This Site pathikshah. com /blog / install-android-2-2-froyo-galaxy-s/ (sorry about the spaces new user and xda wont let me post links, not spamming honest), I did exactly as it said it was working as planned until it reset after install. First instead of the vibrant screen coming up it now says:
Galaxy S
GT-I9000
Then It goes to:
Android System Recovery <3e>
on that screen it says twards the bottom:
update media please wait
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
so when I try to scroll through the recovery menu I have to push vol Up to scroll down
also it does nothing when i press the ok button (power button), unless I hold it down then it resets and goes back to the same recovery screen
I rooted the samsung galaxy s then added a rom and the rom is crashing my phone I've tried aboslutely everything don't know what else to do.
i also have a problem
i have install ROM manager and make a back up
went i try to recovery my backup it give me first the original recovery mode i know i have to select update.zip to access the clockworkmod recovery (ver 2.5.1.2 last one) i use the option restore and start it
now my phone just reboot in recovery mode
i'm looking if some one have a working ROM backup
tnx for your help
Drago.

Thank you for the video link. I was up to that point unable to get the download/shoveling droid screen. Now I'm in the process of finally getting the phone back to stock after downloading the t-mobile update that cam through and bricked the phone.
no downloading mode
Hi i was hoping this will help me to reenabeling my bricked samsung. But i cant get it in to downloanding mode. the 3 button way isnt working and the way showed in the movie neither. Is there an other way to get the phone back to work?
I have tried all the methods posted here as well as many others from the link posted above. But to no avail.
I did everything successfully up until the reboot. Whereupon, it would not start. No amount of button combination helped me. And taking out the battery pack is no help either. It just won't start. I could use any advice.
Thank you.
I'm in the same boat now, attempted to odin back to stock and now I have a brick. It's just blank, I cant get it into download or recovery mode using any method described.
Is my only shot the jig method I've read about now?
EDIT
Nevermind, I got it. Pulled the battery, replaced it, held down both power buttons, inserted usb (already plugged in comp w/ odin open), boom..entered download mode and flashed..

Remove the battery and insert it again, now keep pressing the volume buttons and connect the USB cable to your phone, the usb cable must be connected to your pc first.
hey, i also experienced bricking my phone. is there a step by step process how to unbrick it? i need urgent help please. by the way im using samsung galaxy s 4g (
after i have gone to download mode. my computer cannot recognize my device. help me please.
to the post above me. Sounds like you have a bad usb data cable. Grab you a new cable online and you should be good to go
I'm assuming you have already downloaded the drivers to your computer. Sasmung.com will have them
Hi all,
sorry if posted on wrong forum or if its already posted but....
I have searched for similar problems but havent found any that is similar to my problem let alone that has answer. Im a newbie in this so bear with me please. I was dumb to try all that but now I really need help as Im losing my mind with unsuccesful searching...
Ill make a list of what I did in that order on my HTC Desire and what happened:
0. installed htc sync usb drivers (which are present at all time even now in device manager) and then uninstalled sync;
1. I did unrevoked step by step as on instructions;
2. Tried to use custom rom but didnt want to install so I searched and found I had clockwork 2.5.0.7 which I think doesnt work on Desire properly;
3. Went to menu>settings>app>manage apps but couldnt find clockwork mod to uninstall (maybe because I did revoked from windows 7? );
4. downloaded downgrade to 2.1 and went through the proccess which went fine (didnt check phone info if it actually downgraded it);
5. downloaded another unrevoked 3 (which was supposed to have different clockwork version) and it restarted my HTC;
6. now the problem - It rebooted into black screen with phone image and red triangle with "!" mark inside.
I tried every combination of buttons - down volume + power, up volume + power, back + power, down volume + back+ power and home + power but ONLY up volume + power gives ANY result (which is not much)
At volume up + power I get blue "recovery?" screen text and options to reboot, install update.zip, wipe cache and wipe data (something like that). Rebooting just gets me back to black screen, wiping both options goes through but I cant see if it actually works, and installing gives me error which says it is unsigned file. That is all I can do on my HTC now
When I connect usb cable from phone to PC I hear "connecting" sound (also disconnecting sound when I unplug) but when I run RUU it says error 170 (it cant detect my HTC). Also when plugged to PC orange light is not working (like when its charging).
Im panicking atm and dont know what to do...please help me
Thanks in advance,
Zoran
Edit: forgot to write one thing - when I try to power it on from start, and before blue text recovery shows, it says in yellow text E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
HI;
dont know How your recovery menu look like , but you should find something like : WIPE DATA / FACTORY RESET AND it should work :/ !
I have tried that (yes there is that option) but it doesnt change anything, it still gets stuck. I managed to get my friend (he has same model) and I put my sdcard in and I copied PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip from this page xttp://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
I went to the only option I had available (apply update.zip and it said again it cant install it because it says E:signature verification failed....
Im really out of ideas...
when im trying to enter the fastboot mode [voluim up+power buttom]
its just transfering me to scree with android logo and it says
"Standart set configuration"
and its stuck there.
i also tried it when usb pluged.
it worked at start, it start happened when i tried to enter the recovery.
what should i do?
standart set configuration... what?
what are you trying to do in the bootloader?
you simply turn the phone off. hold volume up and power button, don't let go of it
just- standart set configuration
with android logo and black background.
i have tried to get into recovery to root my phone.
and yes i just hold these and release it when it turned on.
i also tried to keep holding the the bottons even when it turned on and im getting this
usb control init
usb control init end
you know what is the problem? X:
edit: i think i confuzed with fastboot.
i cant enter the fastboot.

bootloader != fastboot.
Fastboot is accessed through Android 2.3.X SDK.
http://www.pdasoft.cz/files/root/obrazky_k_clankum/2011/Google-Nexus-S/31-Nexus_S-bootloader.jpg
thats the bootloader. So yes, you're already in the bootloader.
If you want fastboot to work. Look for the rooting thread stickied and follow those instructions. You also need nexus s usb drivers for fastboot to work.
EDIT:nvm i fixed that.
thanks
Hey , how did you solve it , i am stuck

Hello, I've been the whole day reading about this problem, and didn't found anything, have been 8 hours trying to restore my phone, but unsucsefully.
I've tryed to install a Custom ROM on my Tinji 9300, but I selected to Flash the "PRELOADER" option, and now I'm unable to fix it...
The device connects to the PC in Recovery Mode pressing Volume UP & Volume Down & Home & Power Button and being the battery unplugged. After I plug the USB and the the Battery and recognizes the phone, it's not totally Bricked. The Screen doesn't light up and nothing happens, but it writes on FlashTool.
I attached the screen of the error, I don't know what to do anymore, I am very tired and don't have any ideas...
This is the exact model I bought:
aliexpress(dot)com/item/Newest-Tianji-i9300-S3-MTK6577-Android-4-1-1-3G-Smartphone-512MB-4GB1-2GHz-4-6/709668717.html
Thanks for your help guys...
Please, someone help.
I experinced the same error message while trying to flash Alcatel OT 918..searched for solution but never got any.
At last i flashed a custom ROM(Andread 2.0) which worked after attaching a new IMEI coz at first phone couldn't connect to network due to IMEI issue.
But then my phone can't go back to the original ROM.
If u find help on the DRAM error please share.

u need this file!!!!!
s3d12-27.rar
While i was trying to install the latest official rom to my device (The new Padfone Infinity A86 T004) it is bricked, Now i am facing a very bad (miserable) situation.
When turning on the device it shows me the ASUS logo and in top of the screen a message says : ERROR: Can not boot Invalid boot image!!
And my big problem is that i can't access any of ADB, recovery mode or even fastboot. the phone is undetectable by my PC at all.
I don't know how to force fastboot ... if i can reach the beautiful fastboot mode i will be able to handle the next steps in the fixing journey.
I have red that as long as the device shows something it means that it is not totally bricked .. but how to get out of this situation?
Any suggestions ?
Sorry my englsih is´nt good.
So you can´t broken your phone with OTA Updates
You can delet all files and sysfile and the asus isn´t broken.
you just need patience.
make sure you have the correct driver
turn off your phone,
press vloume up and power, so the phone stay with boot logo, so you are in the fastboot mode.
there you can use my exploit btw the howto downgrade A86, but the downgrade dosent works.
so unzip the newest rom .zip out of asus page....
copy the boot.img and recovery.img in your minimal fast adb folder
so you can:
c:\ADB>fastboot -w ( really wipe all partions and data of your phone!)
c:\ADB\fastboot flash boot boot.img
c:\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
copy the complete OTA Update Zip on your phone (internal sd or external is matter)
reboot phone and install the zip out of recovery.
there may be errors come to the first, if that should be the case
then repeat the case up to 3 times
I hope you can read and understand it .
if you need further assistance , please contact me at any time , like even on my homepage lange23.de

Thank you for your help.
The issue is that the phone now is not detected by the pc at all , i can not access the fast boot ...
Do you really pressed Volume up and Power at the same time, if startet???
If the phone during normal start at the stops bootlogo that's not fastboot!!!
Turn really off an than hold volume up an press Powerbutton, hold it up to boot logo.
then you are really in fastboot mode!

after turning off
when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button => and after 1 second an error appears ERROR: Can not load Invalid boot image!!
when pressing power button + volume down button a menu appears with two options 1.Enter recovery mode and 2.Exit update mode.
when choosing option 1 , the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears without the previous error message.
when choosing option 2 , the the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears and the previous error message.
all these cases the phone didn't go to fastboot mode and never detected by the pc.
when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button don´t keep pressing volume up,
fasboot mode only power & up, until the logo. Pressing this two to logo and then left them. the logo sty tuned in display so you re in fastboot
if you pressing up too jump in question menü,
if you pressing at startup power & down jumped directly into question menü, but this menü is wrong for you. you need only fastboot nothing more

Yes, no recovery
And yes PC does not find any new devices
I can not understand it...
I once the boot.img deleted in the phone and also get such error message .
but my systems find an Android device and i can use the fastboot
Any way , a good news that the phone was only few days out of its package and i managed to return it back to the seller and will send to me a new one.
But i am really disappointed with ASUS not to make any unlock tool for the new padfone infinity.
Once, i believed that as long as there is no physical damage in the phone, there will be always a way around to fix it by fastboot. but it discovered that it is not correct and the fast boot itself can be damaged..
Any way thank you so much the only man helped me here sinus23.
I got this problem too
Me too
I got this problem
guys you got to do this , i am having yureka plus5510a no fastboot no recovery
bros no recovery no fastboot boot loop tried all combination not charging nothing what you think you guys are genius give me some let me tell you the whole thing how i ended here .. its all started with the king root(worst decision ) i wanted to flash twrp in my yu yureka plus 5510a no idead what " A" stands for then i used flashify from playstore and downloaded the twrp by the official twrp and flashed it with the flashify and boom boot stuck with no recovery some how removing battery and connecting the phone goes to the charging disp from where i did enable the fast boot but cmd was not able to identify adb devices nor the flashboot commands were working so i did same with win 10 powershell but nothing no devices , so i decided to use a method of ygdp , much hopes with this used ***** 5.1.153.00.P0.160604.8675_I02.def.CPB ******* dont know where the log file is but it was showing old bootloader error downloading and error and error and terminated at 2 % , then this one of your thread by unziping the official files and clicking on flash-all.bat file which he provided img(1) "some trials your phone will be all right " i tried with some "waiting devices error " message but then it just started something happened oem unlock blah_blah and then successful , tried to boot again but this time phone was automatically jumping into fastboot mode , then i finally tried one last time in that power shell thing by typing using cmd and applied fastboot code , even no devices was showing in powershell ,, but then i used some different code something like "fastboot ix902 recovery " and i was able to install a real old twrp recovery.. phone was showing the cyanogen loading ....but later after 1 hour i felt its stuck = + = but luckily recovery was working but but dont know why the buttons setup used to go in fastboot mode was now taking me in recovery,, and fastboot was no longer acessable , i was fine with it so i downloaded latest recovery from your respected thread file named as " twrp-3.0.2-0-20160604-UNOFFICIAL-tomato.img " i wanted to install nougat aosp so i thought its a nice idea to update the recovery first i. so i did the normal recovery update from the recovery it self , and now i guess that recovery was so old , the new one was kinda mindblower for the older one and booom no recovery , no fastboot , tried all the combination and came up with this one volume+ vol- and power shown img (2) same as boot logo but a small "official" tag
pls help i know this post dont suits your professional level , right now i havent slept from kinda like three days cause of exams and this sarcasm of being in trouble.. like my every devices is rooted o in onyx m in tab 2 , it frustating pls help ........i will edit this and make it more polite but if you are one who can solve this .. i am ready to donate man. cause u deserve it , it will gonna be learning experience with you i will be totally into the reply and pls dont scream for drivers i did installed coolpad driver adb drivers everything required i feel yureka is a real fake company their parts isnt distinguishable i did al the steps nicely and cleanly except the (kingroot ) and pls dont brag about the old threads , they didnt helped me much.. and probably why my phone is kinda dead
