[Q] Samsung Galaxy SL : Can't Recover ! Need Help

Hi All,
I was using Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003) with Android Gingerbread 2.3.6. I wanted to install CM10. Here what I did.
-> Rooted the phone using Odin (Windows)
-> Installed CM10 through SD Card
-> Installed gapps through SD Card
So far went well and I was able to install the ROM. But my key board was not working. So I wanted (I got scared on rooting) to recover my stock ROM (which I took backup through CWM)
Now my phone got soft bricked. It goes into boot loop (Samsung logo). Doesn't open up recovery. It goes into Download mode. But none of the computer recognizes it. Odin (Windows) doesn't, Heimdall doesn't, ADB doesn't. Fastbood Doesn't.
I am desperate for a solution to bring my phone alive.
It does turn on and it goes into download mode. But not able to find option to flash the Rom.
I am new to the forum and this area. So sorry for my ignorence

If you've flashed "[ALPHA][ROM][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10 for Samsung Galaxy SL - Alpha 4 - Farewell Release" and re-flashed other roms other than Alpha 4 without repartition(going back to Odin-Pit-XXKPE/XXKPQ-DDLF2/or any-root) I think you've hard bricked your phone...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048672

Thanks.. I also think so. if I give it to Samsung service center.. can they recover it (it's out of warranty) - if it is less costlier than a new phone ?
Thanks,
Achir

as far as i know, if you can go into download mode then your phone is not bricked.
just flash back to CM10A4 and follow the step to go back to stock.

How can I flash ? No computer is detecting my device. What alternate option I have ? Can a Jig help ? I think jig is just to put the phone in download mode.
Thanks,
Achir

Lola's i9003 was dead because it does not start... but my friend in this case achir SL is still recoverable...
@achir:dont panic and dont flash unnecessary things...You have soft bricked your SL.. too much of flashing and a small mistake can brick your phone.
and since you said your phone is not detected by ODIN but you can still go in download mode... so here are the steps which can help you..
1.Install samsung USB drivers for I9003
2.Install net framework on your PC
3.Disable your computers Antivirus and Firewall(it may interupt with ODIN process)
4.Restart your PC.
5.Connect your phone in download mode.
6.If its detected by system but not by ODIN then unplug and then replug the phone, repeat this process untill your phone is recognised by ODIN(rebooting of PC should also be done if necessary).
7.Once connected/recognised by ODIN flash a stock firmware.
8.Be patient because the first boot will take a long time.
let me know if it worked well?

You need not worry. I too had a bricked my phone exactly on Jan 1 (and missed wishing my friends as my phone was off).
See my forum where i faced the same issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076250
As our members have mentioned you can reinstall the Samsung drivers in the PC which will make ODIN detect your phone. :good:

Okay. I re-installed the driver but still my PC doesn't recognize it (unknown device). My Mac and my friend's Linux can not recognize it.
I have my personal Mac (Windows is in office laptop which doesn't have full admin). But I tried with Heimdall and ADB in my Mac (I assume doesn't need driver) but they can not list my device.
Now my critical problem is making my Mac detect the device so that I can proceed with some recovery (if at all possible).

You case is very similar with lolation. From cm10a4 with mtd fs direct flash rfs fs. Lolation go to service center.

I tried a lot but it seems no computer can recognize the phone. It seems service center is the only option

Have you try using another usb cable?(maybe the usb cable you're using now is defect)..According to Dhiru, either Alpha 3 or 4 won't result in a hardbrick...read here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35505300#post35505300

I simply remove the internal memory and flash a custom phone image, it usable but without external memory.
If you cannot connect to the odin3, use Fastboot mode

[q] depressed and need help

DESPERATE FOR HELP!
I bought a LG G2 D802 after deciding that ~ thats the phone i needed and after i bought it of course it had the 4.4.2 when i really wanted the 4.2.2
The reception was horrible too in low signal zones i had 90% of time no signal so after studying a little i decided i would Root it & install a new Rom possibly a Tmobile Version so i could fix my reception with Wifi-calling. Rooting was straight forward and no problems but Twrp was horrible i tried different ways and i couldnt install a recovery that worked or opened. Before i started playing with Twrp i made a Back up of the stock just in case.
AS it was BOUND to happen ~ flash errors occurred when i installed autorec.apk and rebooted. After that all i get is:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
and when im connected by USB
-reset-
-portcharge-
fastboot: proccessing commands
Pretty popular on the forum. So i tried to keep my cool and went through all same cases> I tried to get Recovery ( never installed right so ) tried to fix it by a method someone shared on the forum ~ didnt work Fastboot would flash the new recovery but once i went through the reboot and factory settings would go back to same black screen with fastboot mode started. To make things worse my download mode pops out and stays half a sec before it goes to same Awful screen. Tried to fix download with Laf file ~ fastboot erase and flash new one for my version as suggested by another member who unbriked his LG G2 didnt work ~ same issue.
ADB doesnt recognize the device. I have installed all device software in the beginning when i was rooting and trying to install Twrp. its an LG G2 with no SD slot and not a removable battery. Im losing all hope i dont know what to do anymore. If you guys can help me would be a life saver im close to smashing it to pieces and go back to my old Blackberry~...~
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: Please help !

I dont know! I can Erase and Flash .img files into the phone ~ by using CMD and the SDK but i dont seem to be able to flash a system.img the one i have is 3gb and says error allocating memory. I dont see my device on adb ~ and fastboot shows ? Fastboot as device. I went and installed Ubuntu into a Virtual drive to try to push files into phone so i could access download mode or recovery. No luck there i couldnt find the phone under devices either.
When i use CMD on the PC and flash recovery recovery.img or any other image command the phone displays the work being done. So i think i am connected to Fastboot.

[Q] Hard Bricked Moto G 4.4.4 Solution??

Hello Friends,
Now i m going to tell you everything which everyone should keep in mind to avoid bricking our beloved Moto G.
I have unlocked my bootloader to enjoy full root features in my mobile.So rooted it on lollipop stock rom.
And found that some old Gameloft HD games like 9MM,tintin etc shows incompatible handset.So tried to change build.prop file in /system folder to convert my mobile name to Samsung Galaxy S2 to install the incompatible games and then messed up everything and my phone won't restart but however bootloader, recovery is working.
In this step I should have tried to restore my original build.prop file by using adb commands or fastboot commands.But I didn't knew this and tried factory reset in recovery menu which didn't help and adb commands failed to work.
Then I searched online and used fastboot commands to flash to 4.4.3 Stock Rom and it worked fine.
I should have left my mobile in this Rom.
But official 4.4.4 system OTA file didn't let me do that which in turn made my mind to download and install 4.4,4 OTA
and here goes my problem,Downloaded successfully and tried to intsall but it didn't
My phone won't boot,no recovery,no bootloader,no adb ,atleast no fastboot commands
except qhsusb_bulk shown in devices and sometimes usb input device or vmware usb device with white led light blinking
Anyone faced similar problem and got solution .Please Help

Reserved for any solutions

This could help
Hi!
I'm on the same problem but with a Moto X 2014. I've found this page (shown below). I tried the qboot program but I've got a fail while starting fastboot. I was thinking that the problem might have been windows 10. Now I'm back to windows 7 and I'm trying to get the qhsusb_bulk device detection.

by the way, have you found any solution? I'm still trying to get the qhsusb_bulk device recognized by windows 7 and I don't know why I can't get there.

I wanted to put a new rom on my Lenovo, so I started here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a850/general/tutorial-install-cwm-twrp-lenovo-a850-t2642431
I thought making a backup would be wise.
My Baseband model did not have ROW or CN in it, so after trying all four options EN/CN CWM/TWRP options, all failed an my phone would just reboot.
May be my mistake was trying a few more versions of CWM/TWRP, after one of which my Baseband model was gone...
So I decided to just go ahead and install a new rom without a backup. I installed the VCOM drivers (Win 8.1, a bit of hassle) and downloaded: http://www.needrom.com/download/a850-stock-s123-multilanguagegappsroot/
Тhе flashing process went OK (I got the green circle), but after disconnecting my phone and putting the battery back in, it would not start at all. Not even recovery mode.
I tried flashing another rom, but the PC/flash tool would not detect the phone again.
Тhe only sign of life is the red led when I connect the USB to the PC (without battery).
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S.: Also the phone stopped detecting my SIM cards while trying different CWM/TWRP versions.
P.P.S.: I actually was able to get a response from the flash tool by holding power, volume + and volume -, and got: ERROR 4032 : Enable DRAM failed!

Very helpful, thank you...
After trying many different SP Flash Tool versions and ROM, I was actually able to resurrect my Lenovo by doing a Firmware Upgrade with the latest SP Flash Tool (version 5 something) and using a A850i ROM from needrom.com
No issues so far, but I'm basically back where I started from

i think u have flashed a850 4gb version firmware. same thing happen to my phone. but fixed it with a850i firmware.
