Galaxy Fit Hard Bricked !!!

Guys ,

everything was fine but when i choose to reboot the device
it never waked....
tried odin method also
reinstalled the usb drivers but no luck
i just can boot into emergency download mode ( vol up + vol down +home + power)
odin recognizes me at that mode
but stucks at setup connection ....

As per my knowledge if you can go to download mode its a soft brick. And are you flashing through one package if yes then don't use all four file and then try to flash

If you can go to the emergency download mode their is a method to unbrick phone
Maybe try this?

Also what were you flashing?

Hello, I don't mean to hijack your thread but I am unable to go into download mode on my phone too. I have been using CM 7.2 rc2 and CWM recovery. I need to flash the original firmware through odin to go back to the factory GB. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

i think download mode is just vol down+home+power .... no vol up

Yes But Asad007 has said he was unable to go into normal download mode and instead tried to use the emergency download mode Which I think cannot be used to flash New Firmware....

i was just wandering around and i found this thread
hmm interesting....

I have exactly the same problem like you,odin find me only when i press volume up+ menu+ power wich is dump mode from what i know.
I buy a Usb Jig now i wait to receive it ,i think is the las thing that i can do ,then i will send to samsung warranty to replace the motherboard ,will see if will do that.
This is a hard brick so no method listed here don`t work because the screen is dead and computer see it only if you use dump mode

USB Jig doesnt support

As some of you speak of changing motherboard ... does such procedure cost much? Or do you guys all make this via warranty?

i believe it's all covered under the warranty.
though i doubt that they actually change the motherboard.

asad sir i know i m noob here but i have an suggetion my phone alsdid this and my comp. was not recognizing that then i tried from other computer and it worked i hope this would surely help you........
and if work than plz press thnx cz it wld be first thnx for me......

If your phone has bricked try using riff box jtag.

[Q] Can't get to download mode

How will I flash custom rom when I can't even get to download mode? CF rooting won't help because it requires odin and odin will only detect your phone when you are in download mode. Volume down+home+power puts me to recovery. Same with volume up=recovery mode.

How exactly do you do the three button combination? Do you just press all three buttons at the same time? I suggest you press the volume down button and home button first and then the power button. Make sure you're pressing the volume down part by only letting the least bit of thumb press the volume rocker.
Just out of curiosity, what's your firmware?

I did that already. Volume down first then home then power. This is not my first time flashing and I should say this is the first time that I encountered this.I tried 3 times but it takes me to recovery. I'm on DXKB2 btw.

Just making sure, bro. No need to get mad or offended. might sound like a stupid question but I just wanna know is/was your phone carrier locked at some point?
Anyway if you can't find a solution you can always just fake a problem and bring it in to the samsung service center.

It's okay. It's always hard to figure out people's tones when online. In any case, why don't you just fake a problem and send your phone in for repairs? It's still under warranty, yes?

Hi.
My GT-I9003 recently freeze at the startup and I would like to re-install all the firmware and drivers but I can't go into the download mode which i press vol- and enter and power button.
Do anyone know the reason for that and how to solve it? Thanks in advance for any opinion.

Can you go to recovery? What do you mean freeze at start up? Bootloop? I'm pretty sure you can get to download mode if you're on bootloop. Try it couple of times! Sometimes I failed to go to download too. Make sure you pressed the buttons correctly. Volume- first then home then power.
Hit thanks if you like my post.

Thanks for your reply. I'll keep trying.
Yesterday I still can go to the recovery mode but today looks like it can't. Usually the phone will vibrate when we power on it but now it looks like it won't vibrate. Instead it will on when i press the power button for quite a while and let it go, only it will on without vibrate. So weird..
My phone will always freeze at the logo there and can't go to the menu already. That's why I thought of re-install the whole firmware stuff.

hmm i think there was a promblem while flashing it. are you sure you pressed the 3 buttons download mode directory properly? i used to have the same problems way back while having the phone.
there is my way of going to download mode using the 3 button combo...
1. press and hold the home and the volume down button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. wait for the download mode button appear.
my other way is for rooted phones with cwm recovery....
1. press and hold the home and the volume up button.
2. then add in the power button and keep holding them.
3. when the samsung logo appears, release the power button immediately.
4. wait for the recovery to appear.
5. go to advanced options.
6. you'll find an option there to reboot to download mode.

Hey hey. Sorry for replying you so late. At last I manage to do... Tried for a few times last time and thinking of trying again later. 2day, after tried again, it manage to go to download mode. I guess my method of pressing the button is wrong all these times.... Anyway, wanna say thanks for your methods. It helps me. :good:

sometimes you need to put off battery from device for one minute put then to phone and then voldown home and power. must work.
make sure that phone is not connected to charger or via usb
probably you know this but i write for the case. and future guests
cheers

why not you guys learn how to use "adb"
it is good and fast
1. install the samsung usb driver or if you have kies istall than skip this.
2. unzip and copy all the 4 files ( with out the folder) into windows/system32 folder
3. reboot pc
4. set you phone in setting-application-development-USB debugging mode checked.
5. connect you phone to pc
6. lunch you cmd prompt
7. type adb reboot download, if you want to download mode
8. type adb reboot recovery, if you want to recovery mode
that is
beside, adb also can go into you phone system partition, do the thing like linux terminal.

Samsung Gio Stuck on Boot & Can't enter Recovery

Earlier, my Gio told me about rebooting for something about wiping data or something like that.
There was no other option so I pressed the button and it restarted now its stuck on a screen, not sure if it's download mode :/
It has the Android mascot and a box with an orange arrow coming out of it, with a progress bar on the bottom that does not move. The screen also flickers. I have tried plugging my phone on the PC but it does not work. Have any idea how to fix this?

[q] cwm wont work

banging my head against the wall here , wasted 2 days reflashing phone
I followed all the guides and searched high and low for a solution to get CWM on my tmobile blaze 4g
I have stock GB , 2.3.6 on my phone
was able to root and have superuser installed
anytime i flash CWM via odin , it says successful and when I try to take out the batt , hold vol up/down and power , i still get the default stock recovery over and over and over again .... about to throw this phone in the garbage
I flashed it the same way it says in instructions , place the cwm file in the pda section , make sure partition isn't selected then hit start
FYI
no i dont have kies running in background , or any other program that would interefere with pc odin
I would seriously appreciate any help
PS. am I trying to get to CWM the wrong way , or ist he default to getting to CWM is holding power/ volume up and down , then inserting battery while usb is connected

[Q] How to root when you can't get download mode? 4.2.2

Okay, I've got this Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that's been updated with the OTA 4.2.2 update that will not turn off. I want to sell it but I don't want the new owner bugging me about it not being able to turn off. So I decided to root it and put Cyanogen Mod on it but I can't get it into download mode to flash it. I can only get it into ADB sideload from the stock recovery. Also, I can't even find the option to put it in USB debugging mode.
So my question is what's the best way to root and add CWM to this device while it's like this? I would download ROM Manager from the Playstore to start the process but I'm afraid it will brick the device. When I tried to flash the CWM zip to root it from the stock recovery I get an error saying it was unsigned or something to that affect. I've rooted many devices but this one is driving me nuts! What a screwed up update.

Are you able to reboot your tab when pressing power for some time?

Are you holding the right buttons to enter into download mode? (Holding Power + Volume-UP)
In order to enable debugging on the Tab 2, you must go to Settings>>About Tablet. Keep tapping on "Build number" then eventually the Developer Options tab will display on the left. Tap on Developer Options and you will see on the right where you can enable USB debugging mode.

Yes, it will reboot but it wont stay off. When I try to get it into dowload mode it will just quickly say "no command" and go to the the menu. Seems Im stuck on this version forever.

No you are not there are always two ways. Let me think. Your tab is rooted ?

I have a p5113 and to get into recovery is Power + Vol down. Download mode is Power + Vol up. If you are able to get into recovery I know something that may work for you. This will install Philz Touch Recovery. I use it and it works well. Download the .zip file pertaining to your device (p5113).
- Download Philz Touch Recovery (.zip): http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16057#files
- Download SuperSU (.zip): http://download.chainfire.eu/372/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
Copy the .zip files to your device's microSD card and flash philz touch from Recovery Mode. Reboot back into Recovery Mode and flash the SuperSU .zip file. This should root your device.

Yea bro but he is also unable to boot into recovery dont know what problem is this. But I m sure it is boot loader problem.

I was finally able to fix the problem with not being able to shut down. I finally got the device into download mode after several tries. Once I saw that I quickly opened up ODIN and flashed clockwork mod recovery. After flashing that it shut down properly afterwards. I have shut it down 5 times in a row now and it shuts down and stay shut down every time. Im totally satisfied with that! Thanx for all you guys help.
I got it into download mode by plugging in, and shutting it down until I got to the battery charging icon (will only shut down plugged in after 2 or 3 attempts). After about 30 seconds hold down the power button and the volume down button simultaneously until the warning screen comes up. The tap volume up (button closest to the power button).
