what shall be the steps i should be doing in odin? also i cant understand the proper function or procedure to be done for my fault.
Also please understand that i actually installed CWM from rom manager and later i freezed rom manager using titanium backup. After that the recovery was working fine manually. i stupidly factory reset the phone without unfreezing the rom manager. may be this is the reason why it got stuck up.
just tell me that is there any way through which i can flash my old backup stock rom using PC(created using CWM recovery) also tell me that is there any software which can clear cache by connecting through pc. so that i can give it a try.....please help me.
am very badly tensed...

Yeah i googled..but no results came up for my model... I downloaded one which is latest of version ...Then i installed it. also read that the back up files(of ROM) must be in .tar format in order to flash it from odin. Also the phone must enter some kind of FORCED UPLOAD MODE (saw in case of samsung).
what shall i be doing to enter that download mode(same as upload mode i guess) which you mentioned above.... Is there any converter to convert my back up files to .tar
Use this link and follow the steps u can easily unbrick your phone.

Reboot to Odin mode and connect your mobile to your PC. Download Odin to your PC. Then search a method on how to flash stock rom on Galaxy Fit with Odin. Follow the instructions.

Colud you take backup from your sd card and formatted again and put rom and recovery versions you have.and test again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12&nocache=1&z=1710748479235917
and follow
First of all, the phone is not bricked, obviously as long as it has a recovery and will turn on at all. As for a fix, try a seperate-file firmware flash, google "upgrade galaxy fit to 2.3.4", or something like that, also, try flashing a CWM recovery with ODIN, and just flash a CM7 ZIP or any other ROM, it will not be able to mount /system/ beucase the default samsung SYSTEM format is EFS, which CWM can not read, it can only read EXT file systems, soooo, install the recovery and a custom ROM, see what happens
Flash Froyo!
Hey there,I also suffered a lot sue to this ! Ultimately i flashed a froyo rom and everything was back to normal! :good:
@Enymous
Just ask ur friend what he did to the phone!!:sly:
Usb debugging needs to be enabled.
Next thing is:- Stop worrying!! Flash the same firmware version(if u remembered exactly) which came preinstalled from factory. It may b froyo or gingerbread. Download that particular firmware & note that if u were having froyo preinstalled & have downloaded the same exact firmware, then it must be a 4 package firmware(i.e. containing 4 files when u uncompress it). U can use Odin 4.42 & follow this sequence (even if u know) :
*Install Samsung mobile drivers on pc.
*Take out & reinsert battery.
*Press "HOME,POWER,VOLUME-DOWN" buttons together for download mode.
*Launch Odin 4.42 as administrator.
* Connect the phone to pc & wait till u see COM PORT mapping box turned yellow.
* Now set the files from the froyo package that u downloaded in exactly the same sequence as follows:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
BOOT: APBOOT_S5670.....tar.md5
PHONE: MODEM_S5670.....tar.md5
PDA: CODE_S5670.....tar.md5
CSC: CSC_S5670.....tar.md5
Press start & wait till u see "PASSED"
Meanwhile ur phone will reboot.
Then it will b back to life(with froyo) guaranteed.
First try these steps!! I know it 100% works. coz I m used to all these issues.
Good Luck!!:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
Hello, i think my thl t11 is bricked, i just got it yesterday and looked for rom updates so when i started to do whats here
Step 1: Download the custom ROM copied to an external SD card root directory
Step 2: the shutdown state. While holding down:
– Power button + volume button up, to enter the recovery mode.
– Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data
– Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe cache
– Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Step 3: Return to recovery main interface Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Select your ROM
Step 4: Brush complete, restart the phone Patience required – first boot takes a while.
When i used the wipe data /factory reset the phone did restart and when it begin to boot it keeps a black screen indefinitely.
please help me!

Hello,
I had some issues in phone and had to wipe all the data in it (from recovery mode) with the thought of flashing the firmware after cleanup. The only way i know to flash this firmware is by SP flash tool and here's the issue!! the phone wont connect to the pc in switch off mode which is a need of the process. I've gone through a lot of forums on different websites including this (I asked for the issue on forum but didnt get any help), a lot of forums start from after the mt65xx preloader shows in the device manager.
The things i've tried are deleting the drivers of MTK device(The only thing available related to this phone) from my pc with the help of USB Deview , Tried pressing volume up button while connecting the phone(Without battery) to pc and even inserting the battery just after connection.
Any help would be grateful..Thanks!!
P.s- Unfortunately usb debugging is off in the phone

Hi, is your device completely dead? Or it boots?
If your device's is alive, get sprout4 Stock Rom and flash it via custom recovery like Philz or TWRP!

Hello, thanks for the support
The phone boots and get into a bootloop, as i mentioned that i wiped the data out, and i can enter in recovery mode but not in fastboot (maybe coz usb debugging is off).
I had no idea about sprout4 and that android one devices have common ROM and recoveries !!!!
I have found my device listed on this page but how do i flash recovery in my phone? The way i know is through ADB and that wont work.
I would like to know if theres any other way to do it .
Thanks!!

Oww, that's cool bruh.
Hang on, I'll link you a Sprout4 Full stock ROM [latest one]
All you need to do is, just enter into recovery mode then wipe everything except micro SD, flash the given Rom zip, give few minutes, once the Flashing done, reboot!
Edit - Rom Link - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686681827315150
*.Note that, all the sprout4 roms compatible with each other, so just download the zip, put it to your SD, reboot recovery, wipe all [Wipe system, data. except SD card ], flash that zip, reboot!
No need for ADB stuffs.

urgh... Stock recovery doesnt show 'install from sd card'. The only options visible are apply update from sdcard , ..from adb, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.

You were on stock recovery!!!
Deym, I thought you were on Custom Recovery like Philz or TWRP!
So now, @Sp5297... Your device is just bootlooping? And before this had took place, you were on stock Rom right? What was the build number?

Err... I misread that, pardon me.
AFAIK, if you wipe data / factory reset from stock recovery, then that's not at all an issue, just reboot the device that's gonna work.
You can't i guess, fastboot / ADB modes requires theyve to enabled from settings /developer option. So it was looping / you can't do that either.
First tell me what build you were on before this took place.
Flashing the very next OTA[prior to that] via stock recovery will works sometimes.
@saichin n I have the same problem with my phone, I tried to use sp frashtool but as sp5297 the phone doesn't connect with the pc (it connects only when i do apply update from ADB). When i plug in the pc without battery it's just dead. My mobile is Karbonn Sparkle V
Edit: It started to bootloop me when i tried to start a game (soccer stars official). When i start it it just crashed the UI and i restarted it via power button
Hi bro. I have the same prob with my Karbonn Sparkle v (Not rooted) with 6.0.1/MOB31E
Hi bro. I have the same prob with my Karbonn Sparkle v (Not rooted) with 6.0.1/MOB31E . I am stuck at bootloop too and cant flash any roms as it errors that earlier version can not be flashed or so. I am not able to connect my fone to PC as well, its not detecting, Can I flash anything from SD Card ( as in recovery it gives option to update from Sd Card). I have tried factory reset, cache cleaning but nothing wokred. could you please advise me on this??? appologise, not sure where to write my query, as i just joined today.
Is there anyone here facing same with my situation? today i bricked my J4 plus, Dunno if its hard bricked or soft brick, I can't enter to download mode and system restore anymore. Im just trying to get oreo back because i fell little laggy on my current os (pie). I went to samsung service center and they told to use JTAG to get it fix but its too expensive for me to pay hundreds buck for this.
Thank you
its not bricked. your battery is full drained. i had the same problem and how i fixed!!! i presed all 3 buttons and put usb cable to my pc and my phone. it goes like bootloop starts and shuts. you will wait with pressed buttons from 5 to 10 mins depend how low is your battery. and finaly will go to download mode and you can flash it then!!!
Bricked my J4+
Can someone help me with a bricked J4+?
I wanted to install TWRP, I followed the guide to the letter on how to install TWRP.
After successfully flashing TWRP 3.2.3-0 and flashing RMM bypass zip (without booting to the OS) I also performed a Wipe Cache in TWRP.
I booted to the Samsung OS and the system overall felt laggy.
I performed a Factory Reset, still the system felt laggy.
I decided to use Odin and install the Samsung factory system (thus go back to Samsung OS).
I booted successfully and decided to give TWRP 3.2.3-0 another chance.
Odin resulted in FAIL when trying to flash with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I tried different versions of Odin (from last to previous ones), different USB ports, I even tried another PC but no success.
I performed another factory reset and now the phone is hard bricked I guess because it will power on...try to get in stock recovery and Erase...and then power off. I can't get to download mode or stock recovery.
Any help I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks.

I took the phone to a repair shop because it is hard bricked and it needs jtag to unbrick it.
As soon as I have it back I will try again to install TWRP.

This is a phone from work and I did toggle EOM unlock and USB debugging in order to flash TWRP.
I did not enter any password, face unlock, pattern or sign in to google....nothing of the sort. As soon as I opened the phone from the box tried to install TWRP knowing it will erase everything after TWRP installation. I really hate Samsung UI and wanted to try Lineage OS or another custom ROM which is not laggy like ONE UI.
After installing TWRP the phone became very laggy (obviously I did not perform a format data...my bad) I did use Odin and flashed the corresponding firmware of the phone and it did that successfully.
I tried to give TWRP another shot by flashing it again but I was getting a FAIL in Odin with the following error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
After this I tried to flash again the same Samsung firmware but kept getting the same FAIL and the same error: Can't open the specified file (line: 1892)
I have tried all versions of Odin but the same FAIL and same error.
Now I can't even get into Download mode or Samsung recovery mode.
I press Volume Up + Volume Down and insert the micro USB cable....the phone takes at least 10 seconds to power up (Samsung logo) and then I see a blue screen with Android robot trying to perform an Erase and then fails and the phone powers off immediately.
As soon as I get the phone I will check your link on XDA and try a GSI ROM.
Which one do you recommend...this is a work phone, all I care about is speed and fluidity and it has to be a daily driver.

yeeeahhh. i am knowing that in hard way. you can check user data only if you have ORIGINAL firmware and not rooted phone(mean twrp),if you have rooted(twrp) then flash with or without user data. some firmwares on web can flash with user data, some cant.anyway as i say you can always ask for help.i will gladly help if i can. good luck.

What you're describing are symptoms of a flat battery and a direct boot to recovery.
To boot to download mode plug in the USB cable first then hold vol up, vol down and power until download mode appears.
There is absolutely no way TWRP caused the lag. TWRP runs in its own minimal OS environment and has no effect on a booted android OS whatsoever.
Lastly your device wasn't hard bricked, a device that powers on even if it doesn't boot is only soft bricked.
Usually recoverable using the right procedure.

There is absolutely no way TWRP caused the lag. TWRP runs in its own minimal OS environment and has no effect on a booted android OS whatsoever.
Lastly your device wasn't hard bricked, a device that powers on even if it doesn't boot is only soft bricked.
Usually recoverable using the right procedure.

I managed to boot into the Revovery and perform a factory reset, now the phone booted normally.
I will try and install TWRP.
When these strange things happened the device had over 80% battery...at least that's what it showed on screen.
Now I see that indeed it was flat 0% and you were right to point out that this is a flat battery problem.
Thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

Yes Thanks. I am at 100% battery. Can I ask a few questions on how to install TWRP?
I am on Android 9.x.x PIE.
Install TWRP and immediately force reboot to recovery.
Flash the RMM bypass.
Format data
Boot to Samsung OS.
Is this procedure correct?
Thanks.

It's correct, but if you want access to the data partition in twrp you need to also install the encryption patch.
You will also need to either install magisk or some other patch that disables dmverity.
