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

Trying to flash but can't make it work on PC(XP Pro SerPac 3). Can't seem to find anything to make a sd card work. I 7Zip files but phone dosn't do anything with it. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something stupid. Can anyone help???? Really trying to learn andiod, I love this stuff. forgot I don't have a sim card in it yet. do I have to have it for android to work, cause it worked like that when I first got it.

Flashing Star A2000 phone
Hello friend,you have to use the software SP_Flash_Tool_v1.1110.00 HEREat your computer to flash this phone... Also you need the USB driversHERE for this phone...
You need the phone ROM software for your Star A2000 HERE After downloading this ROM you have to extract it at your PC.Then you have install the drivers when you plug your phone cable to your pc.After that you have to open this SP Flash Tools and click Scatter Loading and locate the extracted ROM Folder and choose Android_scatter.txt After that remove all the "tix" and leave only Android (system.img)to be checked.After that turn your phone off and when you plug the phone cable to your pc you have to press F9 on the computer when this SP_tools is at your active window on your desktop.If everything is fine you have to see in yellow % moving from 0 to 100 %.If not you are not installed usb drivers or the usb com port is different.Try from another usb plug... If you see 100% and then OK and green cirle the phone is flashed.Power on your phone and leave it maybe 10 min. to loading.Hope you understand my bad English.
Dear xda,
Last night i tried otg on my rooted s4 clone. according to all apps installed, it is usb host capable.
So here is what i did, i used usb host diagnostics, and usb OTG helper [root]
And none of these detected my usb, but i'm sure i could get that working with a little time. The problem is that from this morning the network is not working. Literally the whole network sign has disappeared. it appears, looks for network, and disappears. I put the sim into another phone and it works fine. I the other sim from the other phone into this one, and same problem, so the problem is with the phone. I'm very worried that it cannot be fixed. did the otg cable and usb fry something in the phone (doubt it)? Do i have to flash a rom or something? Right now i'm backing up with titanium and i will try to reset. I already tried reboot multiple times.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you.

Hi,
Since your phone is a clone, you have not done much besides try to install a different ROM or try some Factory Reset from recovery.
Therefore you can track the topic below and try an update / flash.

or

Thank you, will do.
Okay so some of you might know that there is a ram management fix for the Samsung S6 by editing the build.prop file. I tried doing it and my phone went into a boot loop(it just repeatedly show the white text of SAMSUNG GALAXY S6). My phone is rooted by the ping pong method which doesn't trip knox. The last 2 things I want to do is go to a samsung store or flash a stock rom which wipes my data.
I saw a video that you can fix it by using adb. However, when i plug my phone in my pc while my phone was in recovery mode, the pc doesn't detect. But if my phone is in Download or just its boot loop mode, the pc detects but it often says "Your last device is not recognised or malfunctioned" or something like that. Yes I do have drivers installed including Kies3.
All I want to do is just to fix my s6 build.prop file without
1. Tripping the knox,
2.Not visiting the samsung store
3.Factory resetting my phone and flashing a new rom.
Please help. Thanks
*********EDIT***********
I found out that you can flash a zip file that restores the build prop file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2212168
It's one of the replies to the post.
But I'm an odin noob so... how do you flash it???
***********EDIT AGAIN*********************
Okay... soooo I'm stuck now. I can't even get my s6 to connect to my pc. It just says usb device not recognised.
I already tried:
-Redownloading samsung usb drivers.
-Installing Kies3
-Installing Smart Switch then clicking more and reinstalling usb drivers.
-Using different port.
-Using different wire.
-Blowing into port and phone port to clear debris.
Help :/
At first,i want to clear my issue.
I have karbonn sparkle v (NOT ROOTED).this phone got september update and stuck at android is starting,optimizing applications and google logon screen.
Then i decided to factory reset the phone with recovery boot but didnt works.
i thought that may be recovered from installing old update i.e.august or previous..i searched and downloaded the update file and update from sd card as mentioned in some of the XDA posts...didnot work.
at final,i decided to stock recovery using SP flash tool.got stock rom and driver installed as mentioned in XDA post and other videos as well.MTK VCOM driver as well as mobile drivers installed and stock ROM downlaoded..But when i open latest SP flash tool and try to connect to phone.it did not.. it tried all possible ways to connect like removing battery ,or removing and inserting with volume button pressed or other...while connecting without battery ,nothing happens in PC driver list,no sound nothing.Sp flash tool doesnot recognise chip and downloading /flashing could not happened...
i had flashed some phones using same method and while connecting with pressing volume key ,flashing started.
But i this case ,what happened i dont know,device is not connected but charges and same stuck at boot screen and device manager shows SPARKLE V in portable device list.
I hope some help make my phone .
