battery isn't charging, USB doesn't work

hello guys,
i have 2 Problems with my galaxy R.
My mobilephone doesn't load the battery when i plug in the charger. If i shut down the phone and connect the charger, the phone goes on and the empty battery symbol is drawn an the screen and the refresh logo of the battery is shown. But after 1-2 second's the screen is black and the phone turn off, this repeats the whole time.
When i turn on the phone, it starts without problems, when i plug in the charger it does nothing. I tryed to plug in the charger during the night, and the pho73ne loadet from 59% to 73%.
I have the Galaxy R with 3 Branding (Firmware, which was installed, when i get my galaxy R), but i have rooted the phone and have clockworkMod 4.xxx.
Now, i wanted to flash the firmware again (for warranty, to delete root and clockworkmod), but i cannot connect my phone to the pc. When i plug in the usc cable, my notebook don't recognize my phone and the phone does nothing.
My question now is, how can i remove root and clockworkmod, so that i can give the phone to the shop for warranty?
I hope you have ideas for me, and sorry for my bad english, i'm from Austria

now i made a video...
see here:

Hey buddy! This is what exactly happened with me! This is a physical damage. So there's nothing you can do by flashing other ROMs or stock ROMs or so....
Check out my thread here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663812
I've explained everything about my case and how I was able to revert back to my country's stock ROM, unroot the phone and revert back to stock recovery.
Then I gave my phone for repair to SSC and they told me that it's a physical damage. They changed the whole charging port of my phone. Took 3-4 days though. Depends on availability of that part.
And since my phone was in warranty and SSC guys are dumb, I got it done for FREE!!

Hi buddy, I appreciate that you haven't started a new thread. Could you tell me which language you know ? I am asking because then I could understand your issue clearly.
If you would have searched a bit you would have surely got the answer in the FAQ's post (in the newbie guide thread), check this out:
Q. My device is not being detected on being connected to my PC but I can charge it via the wall / normal charger ! What to do?
First of all check if you have the latest Samsung Kies software installed as it also installs the latest Samsung USB drivers along with it which are required to connect your device to the PC. If they are installed & still your PC doesn't detect the device then you probably have corrupted drivers. To resolve this follow these steps: Uninstall Samsung Kies / Samsung USB drivers currently installed => Restart your PC => Reinstall Samsung Kies / Samsung USB drivers.
Q. I can't charge my device & my device is not being detected after connecting to my PC & Odin is not detecting my device ! What to do?
(The solution is valid only if you are experiencing all of the above conditions simultaneously)
Checkout this thread which could help you: => [Partial Fix] Galaxy R not getting detected on PC nor charging via a charger. ​
Hope this helps.

Galaxy Fit GT-S5670 - MIBIB Download & SETUP CONNECTION

This thread is for those friends who are new to android.
I found that many of us, who wants to move from custom roms to stock roms through odin, have faced some big problems like MIBIB download or SETUP CONNECTION . This happened with me as well... when I moved from cyanogenmod to froyo. So, based on my experience, here are some suggestions which may help you:-
When you select the OPS file, check its name. Its name should be "BENI_v1.0.ops" (without quotes) otherwise odin will not show your device's model number at the top and will stop at MIBIB Download. Please Note that as soon as you select the ops file, odin will show the model number of the device in its title bar regardless of whether the phone is physcally connected to PC or not. In my case, the mbib download problem is solved by renaming the OPS file. You can now install the stock firmware as normal.
If odin is showing the message "setup connection" and your Galaxy Fit is still connected to PC (i.e. COM port mapping box is yellow), then try another stock firmware. In my case, odin stopped at setup connection when I was installing froyo, so then I tried the One Package Gingerbread firmware. And Odin successfully installed it(you can also try another usb port). After then, I went for Froyo once again & Odin successfully installed it too.
Please remember that doing things unknowingly may damage your device. Once the phone is in DOWNLOAD MODE, it can not be switched on either normally or in recovery. It can only enter in DOWNLOAD MODE. I had the two firmwares when I did all this.
Hope this helps...
Press thanks if I helped you...

U saved my day ....

Note that if ur usb port malfunctions then odin will not proceed further. I recently noticed this major issue. Other errors like "checking plact platform verification" appear due to usb error. Try another pc or laptop(recommended).
1st & 4most, it's necessary that u tick "USB debugging" under "Android Settings->Application Development" b4 going to download mode.
Also, disable any antivirus, firewall...uninstall kies...& at last install/re-install ur Samsung Mobile Drivers. Use Odin 4.38.
The screen u mentioned appears when u exit download mode & try to switch it on either normally or in recovery. Don't worry...!!
1. Take out & re-insert battery.
2. Press "Volume Down & Home & Power button" & you'll again enter downloading mode.
If u want...I can provide u the firmware files that I always use
Hope this helps...!!!

Galaxy Sl boot loop after physical Damage

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

Put GT-P5100 in the search box and choose the Rom that you want from the list. You'll need to register to get the link.

You need to quote me in your reply or I don't get a notification.
There's nothing to stop you rooting it again and extracting the data from your nandroid backup once you've installed the Rom

You can't really restore them, because they're on a different ROM, it'd overwrite all your fresh and fast ROM.
In two words: you can't.
You will need a country specific firmware, where did you buy your P5100; was it from.. anywhere in the world? Check for a sim card slot.
If it doesn't, get on to reading!
1. Find how much bits your windows is.... this can be done by opening the start orb in the bottom left corner, then right-click on computer. Click Properties, and look for 64 or 32.
Pick 64 if you have 64, or pick 32 if you have 32.
2. Install drivers according to your bits.
These will ensure good experience.
- 64bit: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOB...dows-x64.shtml
- 32bit: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOB...dows-x86.shtml
3. Download UK recovery! That is, if you don't have a SIM card slot.
Find here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=22456
Now, I was quite lazy to write a tutorial, so I did copy some sources. they will all be given credit.
1. Download and Install the Samsung USB drivers to your PC from the link above. Reboot your system once after installation. If you have already have KIES installed you can skip this step
Extract the Odin Package you downloaded earlier to your desktop. Look for the Odin exe file. That's the only one we would be using
Extract the downloaded stock firmware zip file to your desktop
On your Tab, go to Settings > Developer Options and Enable USB Debugging
Now Power off your Tab completely. We will now be putting your device into Download mode or Odin Mode as it is also called. Download mode is basically a Samsung Exclusive mode which allows flashing of firmware via Odin. Odin can only communicate with Samsung devices when they are in Download Mode. To get there, press and hold these keys together: Volume Down + Power. Then press Volume Up to enter download mode
On your PC, launch Odin by double clicking the exe file in the Odin folder. Just make sure that Samsung KIES is not running on your PC at this time. KIES and Odin don't like each other very much.
Connect your Tab 2 to PC using the OEM USB cable. Any microUSB cable should work, but I prefer to use the one supplied with the phone to avoid any unforeseen complications. You should see the message Added!! in the main Odin message box like in the screenshot below, as well as as COM Port number in the first slot directly above the message box, which tells you that Odin has recognized your device
odin_zpsc9caf496.jpg
In Odin, click the PDA button, locate the stock firmware .tar file that you extracted in Step 3. If there are additional file for the modem and CSC, add those as well. Make sure the Auto Reboot and the Reset Time boxes are checked and Re-partition box is NOT checked.
Double check everything in Step 8, then hit the Start button to restore your Tab 2 to stock Samsung firmware
Once Odin has finished flashing the CWM recovery, your Tab should automatically reboot. And if the flashing was successful, you should see the word PASS! against a green background at the top-left in the Odin window. This means it is now safe to disconnect your device.

get a fresh DL of your firmware from a reputable source and reflash it in Odin, if that doesnt work, get a fresh DL of Odin. I use sammobile.com/firmwares for my FW's and i use samfirm to download them as they literally go 4 to 5x faster on Frija or SamFirm. Frija and SamFirm are damn near the exact same thing, so its a eenie meenie miney moe thing there. But for sure use one or the other unless you dont care about a 20 min disparity LoL
if the flash with fresh FW and fresh Odin downloads dont work, try a different cable. Then a different computer. I have 7 computers and for whatever reason, one of my lappys just wont link with the target devices very well... not sure why... im sure i just havent made the proper sacrifices to the USB gods on that particular machine. purported deities aside, literally all of whose things could be the culprit... well.... minus the USB gods one, of course

Hi, I'm new here, basically I made this account just to get help. I have the same issue, I bought my S8+ back in 2018 and never received OTA updates automatically, it's still in Nougat. Recently I decided to update the OS to Android 9 based off of Sammobile, the model number is SM-G955FD, in the Service Provider SW ver. it shows SM-G955F only(is this an issue?). I dowloaded the latest firmware for SM-G955FD with csc XTC. Now there is the other thing where the volume up button isn't working due to water getting inside, it still works. The key combination can only get me to recovery mode same with ADB, when I try to reboot to bootloader(OEM unlocked) my phone just restarts, same with ADB reboot bootloader, when I do ADB fastboot it gives a blank response. That being said I can't proceed to flash with Odin, I'm thinking of using ADB sideload but I don't know where to find the zip file or whether it's the same one I downloaded from Sammobile(pretty sure it's not).

in cases such as yours with micro usb equipped samsungs in the past, there was a jig that you could plug in and it would automatically put t he phone into download mode. All the jig did was provide 300k ohms of resistance between 2 of the jumpers inside the micro usb port. I wasnt able to find a type c jig, but there are type c test boards that basically expose every pin in the cable into a nice wide board thatll allow for easy connection between 2 of the jumpers by hand to test it out. I did read somewhere that the newer ones require 301k ohms, but its hard to say. The usb port board is 13 bucks and a resistor is gonna be less than a buck. Maybe worth a shot since the micro usb jigs were gold

also, the only difference between the F and FD firmwares is the D is for dual sim

ich have same problem
