[Q]

Hi,
I have one question.
I have a Samsung gio that I hardbricked ( I know, that only samsung. Could help me on this)
The question is: when I press vol up + home + power the mobile enters in a mode that my pc recognizes. And install the drivers even odin detects that. So what is that mode, and for what is he for?
sorry the bad english

Anyone?

How do you know that you hardbricked it and only Samsung can help you?
The key combinations vol up + home + power and vol down + home + power get you into either recovery mode or download mode.
If you can get in download mode, you could flash a new firmware onto your softbricked phone.

I know that is hardbricked because I flash a Rom manager recovery, so I assume that I damage the SBL (or the Pbl).
I can't put the phone in download mode, even with a jig. I just can put in recovery mode ( vol up + home + power) but without any image on display. I already try to flash in this mode but odin stay stuck in "setup connection... ".
Correct me if iam wrong, but isnt the phone hardbricked? And in this state I think only samsung or someone with a jtag could help me, right?
Thanks for answer

[Q] Bricked my I9001?

Hey guys,
I tried to install TW4 but that didnt worked for me.
Now i only have a black sreen when the phone starts.
And i cant get Odin to work because i cant connect the phone to the pc with usb.. i only can get in boot mode.
Anyone know a soluction to my problem?

Can you get to Download mode...home+volumedown+power button combination??

Is that the same way as going into boot mode?
instead pushing vol.up button i need to push vol.down button?
Edit:
Yes i can get in download mode

so if you can enter download mode there is no problem, just install new rom ...

when i try to install a new rom with odin it gives me a massege "connect a telephone" but it is connected through usb..
i got the ops file in odin and by "one package" i put the md5 file.
But then i get that massege "connect a telephone"

Try an other USB-port, make sure Kies is not running and use Odin 4.43.

i dont have kies on the computer and i use odin 4.43.
i tried another usb port but no changes..

But Kies includes drivers for the phone - so do you have properly installed drivers for your phone?
OT: Is there a chance to take back given "Thanks"? I accidentally pressed "thanks" instead of "quote"

Yeah but such a problem seems to occur relative often.
I would try to reinstall drivers, maybe with the Kies-drivers or use another computer.

I have similar problem. There is the same symptoms.
I have try:
- other usb ports
- other drivers (original samsung / kies drivers)
- other pc
- kill kies processes
- misc roms
and.. nothing..
I cant get recovery mode.. There is ramdump mode instead of recovery :/
Actually my i9001 is bricked and I cant load any rom..
Maybe my sgs is locked by bootloader or something?

if ure entering ramdump mode then u dont have the correct combination of buttons down when booting up:
Vol + / Power = Recovery Mode
Vol + / Home / Power = Ramdump Mode
Vol - / Home / Power = Download Mode
cheers

At least your guide on how to get to recovery is a big fail. That works with I9000, not I9001. Vol + / Power, WHEN the samsung text appears, release both buttons. AND when the lights in the softkeys turn on, quickly tap MENU, that's how to boot to recovery mode

well sorry if i left that part out, i assumed he would know how to navigate the recovery mode once he actually got the button combo right. and the only fail here is ur rude attitude, deff. no need for that around here imho.
aside from that, all these instructions are correct.
cheers

I solved the problem.
Unfortunately not on my PC. My i9001 needed a box which I solved all mistakes.
Now I have Gingerbread with root
Unfortunately I still hav a problem with my PC which doesn't want connect with sgs.. :/
I will try trial and error method.

[Q] Samsung gt-s7562 duos won't go into download mode

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help with this.
I have the Galaxy S duos which has problems with connecting to data for both sims. I am trying to flash a later formware in the hope that it is more stable. I have the firmware, kies, odin and drivers.
The problem is that the phone will NOT go into download mode. When I press and hold the vol down/menu/power buttons I go into a Factory mode instead of download mode - the following options are available in this mode:
Full Test
Item Test
Test Report
Clear eMMC
Reboot
When I press and hold the vol down/power buttons I go into Recovery
Is there anything I can do to get into download mode??

just press and hold volume down+home+power at a time
and when device vibrate just leave all keys
then download mode will appear then just click on volume up
but its important to leave all key when device vibrate
thanks

Same here. I don't know what to do!

I have the same problem with my phone , but when I checked the IMEI of the phone by site imei.info, I saw that the phone is a copy ...

Step 1 – Turn OFF your Galaxy S Duos.
Step 2 – Make sure your phone is unplugged from the USB cable.
Step 3 – Now press the following keys on your phone: Volume Up + Home + Power.
Hope this helps......bcz it works for me and all other, and might not work in some cases like......Replica version etc

its not original its china high copy if you choose lear emmc it will be format try it if its dont work with you search for a firmware to youre mobile .......
anyhelp told me

PRESS POWER+VOL DOWN+HOME keys after it vibrates TAKE YOUR HAND FROM POWER KEY and keep pressing on VOL DOWN AND HOME......works for my old phone

Reboot only in my case

its MTK phones sir...i'm sure 1000%
this is good firmware for this phone(tested)

:highfive::highfive::laugh::laugh:

Thats gr8. If download mode works then u don't need to worry at all. Flash stock firmware via Odin & everything will b alright then.
Btw download mode is accessed by pressing & holding Volume down & Home & Power buttons together. You'll see "downloading" written under a yellow triangle:sly:.
Note: First ensure that u know what u r doing, then implement those steps. Using Odin unknowingly may produce some undesirable issues

hey stop, before doing anything check this link maybe you won't need to format your fit

I don't know that but I can tell you that I used that thing and it worked for me although after a reboot my phone was in the same condition but it was good for me since, I was able to take backup of my data.

Samsung S7/Edge Volume Buttons don´t work in certain situations

Hi,
i bought an used S7 and found. that the volume buttons don´t work, when in Android 6.0.1 or recovery-menu.. but when starting up with "volume down" + "home" + "power" it is working, otherwise I wouldn´t come into recovery.. right?
so I think the problem is software-based.. but how I can factory-reset or something, when I can´t navigate in recovery-menu to go through the wipe-options..
Can I have a chance connecting a keyboard via OTG to navigate in recovery?

If you flash the stock ROM from Download Mode (Volume Down & Home & Power) and add the CSC section of the ROM rather than HOME_CSC, it will factory reset the phone for you after the flash
Flash AP, BL, CP and CSC
Use ODIN 3.12.3 or newer
Get the ROM from updato.com

but I can´t come into Download Mode, only Recovery.. when pressing Vol up + Home + Power or Volume down + Home + Power, both times I only access recovery

Sounds like your volume buttons are both hitting the UP switch inside the phone
Need to find a way to fix that physical problem

but when so, why in android both switches do nothing and on start both do vol up? :-/

Maybe Android OS cannot function with damaged buttons but phone hardware can
No idea, but if the problem exists outside of Android OS it is not a firmware / software problem
Did you get the phone wet or dropped?

but outside Android OS atleast vol up work.. maybe I have to open the backcover of the phone to make sure, what is the case with volume buttons?

Update?
Raider2k9,
Did you ever figure this out? Mine is doing something similar, but with only the phone only booting into safemode because the volume down key is pressed and nothing happening when the phone is on.
