At first I should say that it is not my phone and don't know how exactly what happened to it
One of my friend gave it to me and told that after dropping from 1meter on the ground phone
start auto rest some times in day and after one month it got boot loop.
he take the phone to a person to fix but that guy
Said :the hard don't work.
so he decided to buy a new phone and now he asked me to find a way for fixing.
I don't believe that the hard don't work cuz I have damaged my phone hard by repapartitioning from Emmc to MTD.if the hard dosent work the phone shouldn't turn on.
Now I have a galaxy sl which could be turned on and can go to downloading mod. what should I do? his owner said he have flashed a Rom once but no result.
is there a way for fixing?
We can't say if there is a hardware damage, for sure. But, if you want to flash a new firmware, check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
If the phone works well after flashing new rom, then all is fine. If not, you can go to Samsung's service center and get it checked.

Unfortunately the pc say it is unknown device I have tried different ways but no result...
Is there a way to install the cwm from stock recovery?
As far as I know, you need to connect your phone to pc to install any cwm. try reinstalling the Samsung mobile drivers, and reconnecting the phone in download mode. as long as odin detects phone in download mode, everything else is secondary.
if the internal sd is gone just stick in an external one and try flash a new rom it will install to external sd (if works like the i9000)
have you installed kies or the usb driver only package ?

the sd card work(dont know about internal)and when i go to stock recovery it detects but. ihave installed samsung usb driver
and i had galaxy s3 too so i know how does samsung devices work..i am wondering is ther a way to install clockwork recovery on galaxy sl with stock recovery...cuz when the phone go to download mod windows says unkown device .
i dont know what should i do
with odin 1.85 or 1.83(later versions seems to have some issues with this phone) even if windows doesn't recognize the phone it must be shown as a connected com port (with my original rom the phone has never been recognized by the sistem)
if this dosen't occur i think you cuold try to use hendmall on any linux live distro or adb but with standard recovery i don't know if you can access the phone trought it
the install update from .zip in standard recovery if i remember well dosen't workin this case it gives error probably because the original samsung rom packages are recognized by the SS_DL.dll or any other file inside of it inside all the official roms but this is just my modest opinion i'm not sure at 100% on the ddl story you have nothing to loose anyway so you can give a try with this way

So sad. Just bought this phone. I tried to upgrade to ICS via but used the Galaxy S firmware (gti9000) by mistake...turns out ICS isn't out yet for my phone, the SPHD710. While flashing I managed to upload the "modem" file but when it was writing the file (it says "wait 2 minutes for write") odin froze.
and now..
Here's the situation. The phone will boot into the gti9000 firmware (i.e I get to home screen--so I think I'm semi-bricked), but WiFi won't work and the phone crashes a lot. Basically like a "safe-mode". Here are the conditions I'm dealing with
1) Windows 7 will not recognize phone when plugged in. It charges but does not show up in device manger
2) Odin does not recognize the phone at all. It was recognized for a split second on my laptop when I was installing/reinstalling drivers. Can't replicate this.
So basically I'm stuck. I tried going into recovery mode and applying update from SDcard (to revert to stock) but i the SD card won't mount
Anybody help??? PLEASE. I don't want a $500 paperweight.
I can give as many details as you like.
Thanks so much!
I've sensation Xe which has problem. This device was given me as a gift from one of my friend.
The main problem with this device is pc doesnot recognize it. I've tried with 3 pcs, different cables, factory reset,
changed micro sd card, checked the device in usb mode, checked ask me before connecting device etc, i mean every possible
solutions out there.. My main concentration is even when i try new pc there is no response from pc like any sound or like
installing driver for pc.
The device charges through usb. I've installed latest htc sync for my device.
I've heard about usb bricking but i don't know whether it is related to my problem,. Every thing ,except connection with pc , is
working fine.
And other thing is my phone is s-on, unrooted, locked bootloader, lates ics 4.0.3, 1.27.00, stock recovery.
My phone is never rooted or unlocked , so my guess is my friend updated to ics through ota.
Now beside solution to above related problem , it'll be kind if anyone help me with a guide to
flash custom rom, it may help to sort my problem. Pls remember to flash custom rom
i need to do something before like unlock bootloader s-off etc. As usb is not working in my device, so i think
flashing custom rom in my situation is little difficult. please help me to get ot of this problem.
Sorry for my bad englist as english is not my mother tounge.
You could always put the sdcard into a card reader or another phone, copy the files across then apply the update? Could be a corrupt MISC partition (IIRC) this used to happen on the Legend.
To apply an update you would have to extract rom.zip from a RUU. To do this you need to download a RUU and run it (with no phone connected) open task manager on windows (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC) look out for ARUwizard.exe, go through the RUU clicking next untill the ARUwizard pops up then right click it, choose open file location and scroll down to ROM.zip copy this file to desktop. Rename it to PG58IMG.zip make sure its not PG58IMG.zip.zip as that wont work. Copy to sdcard then turn phone on using power and volume down, it will scan the sdcard (hopefully) find the file and start updating. A reflash could well repair the problem

Hi,
You can flash custom ROM with s-on.
Look HERE
Try installing THESE DRIVERS then see if your pc recognizes your phone.
Check my signature for many links to s-offing ,if you want to go that way.

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,

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.

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

Hello!
I have Note 1 N7000, about 2 and a half years old and I'd like to keep using it.
It has it's original OS 4.1.2, factory reset has been performed about 2-3 times.
None of the USB functions work - data transfer, tethering, OTG, nothing. I can only charge the phone (but not with any cable which indicates a bad [worn out] USB port).
The problem came out of nowhere (as it always does) - one day I wanted to transfer files via cable and the phone simply couldn't be recognized by the PC.
Before that I disabled some google's apps (and some others) that I never used so I performed a factory reset just to make sure I didn't disable somenthing required by usb to operate but with no luck.
I ordered a new USB port (the little board with usb) from ebay and installed it today by following instructions from youtube.
The phone can now be charged with any cable (as expected) but all other USB functions still refuse to work (not as expected).
I'm currently out of ideas, what could be the cause?

i would re-flash stock. you should be able to find a guide and files in your devices forum.
you could have some corrupt files, and a factory reset wouldnt fix that.
if stock doesnt fix the problem, you likely would have some additional hardware issue, im not sure what it would be though.
short story: I installed custom ROM (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179332 - the v16) and it still doesn't work.
Long story:
Stock recovery didn't let me to create a backup, nor it allowed me to install ROM from SD card. I couldn't flash via Odin or some other similar tool because my phone's USB doesn't work
I figured out I should try a custom recovery.
Is there any other way to flash a stock ROM (or any other) than installing it from a SD card? I haven't done this before so please, be patient
I found PhilZ Kernel (5.0.3) and CWM recovery (6.something), merged into a single .zip that could be put on a SD card and installed from there. It said it was for XXLT5 (which is my version of 4.1.2) if that matters.
Installed it and now I had that CWM recovery that gave me the ability to create backup and flash from SD card.
I downloaded stock ROM from SamMobile.com, identical to my original one (XXLT5, my country, my operator, TWO mark), put it on SD card, did a full wipe and tried to install it but it said "installation aborted".
Then I downloaded another stock from the same site, also XXLT5 and Croatia but no carrier specified, TRA mark. It was the same size (786 MB) as the previous one if it's of any importance.
That one also refused to install.
Then I searched for a custom ROM until something not too wild shown up, the link is in the beginning of this post.
It installed normally from SD card and it behaves normally too, except for the fact that the USB problem persists.

you cant flash stock firmware through recovery.
take a look at this. it flashes stock firmware from on the device.
you will need to verify there is a version for your device, and how to use it. i have never used it myself. seems simple enough though. put firmware on device, flash with app. done.
Thank you for this, excellent app.
I flashed stock ROM successfully, but USB still doesn't show any signs of life (the only thing it does is charge battery).
...not a very bright future, right?

right, now that you are clean stock, there should be no reason its not working other than hardware.
edit, maybe try some different usb cables, could be you got a bad one.
I have several other cables and other phones (and other PC-s) at home. All combinations work on every PC.
It's only my phone that doesn't work regardless of which cable I use (or which PC I try to connect it to).
One friend suggested me to downgrade it to 2.3.5 (and then try to update it back to 4.1.2 in case it works [or even if it doesn't ]). His idea is that it might work because gingerbread uses USB mass storage protocol instead of MTP.
I downloaded some apps (tried a few of them) which switch from MTP to USB mass storage (in 4.1.2 ), one even required reboot after changing the setting but none of them gave any results.
Somehow I doubt this switching back to 2.3.5 would work, should I even bother?
Hi guys, after many tries, many googling and youtube research, I dicided to share my problem with our community
1. At sunday, my galaxy tab started to restart continuously, It was recharging and I took some time to see.
2. I tried to activate USB DEBUGGING but when It Restarts, it's usb debugging is disabled again.
3. I'm using Stock Rom Again...was;
4.Using Stock Recovery.
5. Tried to install many others recovery's with odin and it seems to be ok but after a restart, its all back to stock recover.
6. Tried to install Stock FW again by Odin and its stuck about 50% FAIL
7. Tried to install CFW and Other Roms by SD Card but it shows a messege "Failed to check Signature" aborting... maybe because of stock recover.
8. Not rooted, usb debugging DISABLE
9 Tried to activate USB Debugging by odin, installing a patch, without success.
10 Samsung KIES does not recognize it in Download Mode.
11. I have samsung drivers installed.
one more information, when I start in recovery Mode, it shows first an android pic and a messege NO COMMAND, then proceeds to RECOVERY(STOCK).
What Can I do?? I Did Everything I can find on Internet. Is there a phisical problem??
Best Regards!!
Seems like a similar issue like mine. Check my post about behavior of my tab 2 7" (P3100) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/p3100-16gb-bricked-emmc-bug-to-t3707134
If you have symptoms similar to mine or any mentioned in the links in the post, then it seems you have a faulty emmc (internal memory).
The only solution i get to hear up till now is either to get motherboard replaced from service center or get emmc replaced from repair shop or get it jtag'ed.
Other solutions, which would avoid jtag or other service, like dual booting from SD card existed here in xda for p3100 but having stuck in stock recovery brought limitations.
If possible share all things you tried and solution if you found any.

Tks for the answer, I guess we have the same problem, by the way, I already read your topic (lol), Surelly I'm gonna find some technical assistance , the hard thing is to find these kind of stuff, but let's see. I'm gonna share any solution, see ya!
If you install a custom recovery and then reboot to system, it will automatically install the stock recovery again unless you are rooted. To avoid this uncheck the "reboot system when finished" box in odin and after installing the recovery boot directly into it.
Stock recovery is only for installing official updates, not for custom roms. You need a custom recovery for that.

Thanks, but we I tried this too. The issue is possibly our emmc is gone into permanant write protection state as far as i have studied. i tried unchecking the "reboot system when finished" box and even pulling battery after getting odin status as success for recovery as suggested in some threads but nothing helped.
Even if i do a factory reset from recovery all data would remain as is, nothing deleted!
@blankfile99 i agree its hard to find stuff, for me jtag service is more than 500kms from my place!
I am searching for any possibility to boot from external sd card. The thing existed for p3100 (one mentioned here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866675 which allows sd boot) and the other is the blackhawk NEXT https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285366 but this is not suitable for our case where no modifications in emmc contents are possible. Devs were able to carry out sd boot for nook color tab .
But again I am stuck trying the dual boot mentioned above at how to flash the sd boot build rom zip file to sd card since stock recovery gives signature verification failure....
Great struggle to keep the tab working...

I had the same issue - here is what I did (I'm writing this as much for me later on, as for you!). This should be fine for your device - but of course, the usual "no guarantees" applies.....
I assume you have downloaded the appropriate files ?
- I used philz_touch_6.57.8-p5100.tar.md5 (google it)
- Odin3 v1.85
1) Install / Start Odin on computer
2) Start device in download mode For my P5100 - I held down power and the UP volume button.
3) Connect USB cable to computer. In ODIN, Click PDA and select the downloaded philz_touch_6.57.8-p5100.tar.md5 (or whatever you're going to use).
4) in ODIN - UNTICK "Auto- Reboot" and Re-Partition is unticked - leave Reset Time ticked.
5) Click start. you should get the "PASS" All threads completed.
6) Disconnect USB cable
7) - important bit - Press and hold down POWER and Volume DOWN together at same time for about 15 seconds. This hopefully will restart into PhilZ mod.
Let me know how it goes.
I have decided to install custom rom on my Samsung tab 2. but it's not connecting with my laptop(not recognized).I think there's a driver problem because in device manager It is showing "Unknown USB DEVICE". Can anyone please send me the Samsung tab 2 gt p5110 driver software or any folders which are use to connect. (I have tried many times but I can't find a good solution )

Have you tried reading and following this - also read the older threads
You may need to install Samsung kies
You should also try with a newer / different cable as that could be the issue. I had this same problem and when I swapped to newer cable it solved the issue. Just try different things.

Hi clappertrap, Thank you for your kindness. I have tried Samsung Kies but I haven't tried a different cable I have order for OTG cable and USB male-male cable. I think this will work.
