Hello.
1st you should search Google and this Forum for recovering your device, setting ClockWorkMod Recovery (or other Recovery); and learn how to either flash the recovery and rom.
Since there are tons of threads around, and you seem not to have done any research i'm writing a "brief tutorial" on how to do it. If you feel lost you have some references bellow.
Just do some search, you will get there, as i included the most of the tutorial info bellow . :good:
If you need further help: Make sure you've done some research, and only then ask for help.
Note: I'll be assuming that you will find some files missing around the XDA Threads. In this case send me a Private Message (or ask here) for a specific file.
If i have it i can send you a temporary link.
Before Starting you aknowledge that you are responsible for the action done to your device.
Either Ways...
1) Enter Download Mode.
- Remove USB Cable;
- Remove the Battery and palce it back;
- Press: Volume Down + Menu Key + Power Button (Do not release the buttons until you see the "Download Mode Logo")
2) Download Your ROM
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT CONFUSE THE ROM NAMES!
For Example there are 2 Samsung Models wich have a very similar model name (i9003 and i9300).
Make sure you have selected i9003 (wich stands for Samsung Galaxy i9003 SL).
3) Download and Run "Odin" (or Heimdall) - Used to Flash your Rom Files.
4) Run Odin; place the ROM files under the correct place and Start.
TIP #1: Always make sure you follow the ROM Developer Instructions.
TIP #2: While using Odin Never (EVER) check the EFS Clear; or Nand checkBoxes.
5) After Flashing your ROM; put your device under "Download Mode" - Same procedure mentioned above;
6) Reset ODIN and Load your CF-ROOT file under PDA section. (Must be a CF-ROOT for Your ROM)
7) Load your Device under Recovery;
Once again; without your USB cable connected to the device:
- Press and Hold: Volume UP + Menu Button + Power (Release the buttons when the Boot Logo is displayed)
Voilá! You are now under Recovery Mode.
Note that CF-ROOT:
- Roots Your Device
- Include ClockWorkMod Recovery
Some Extra Tips : These are very important! (In case you lose your IMEI - While Flashing Roms)
- Go Learn on how to Backup your EFS
- Learn what is the EFS
Please Press Thanks Button if this helped you. This will keep me motivated to waste some time writing tutorials like this)

Ok. Sorry about that. If you dont specify what you know and what you've done we (users) don't have a clue about what you know. x)
Have you tried putting into recovery without the USB Cable?
If you did follow to the next step.
There is a rumour saying that there is a button on the back of the phone (a tiny hole between camera and speaker). - I never tested (never needed to)
Remove the back cover to access it.
That button combined with: Vol. Down + Menu + Power -
in this case: Pressing that Tiny button with a clip + Vol. Down + Menu + Power
Release when the device enters Download Mode.
Let me know how it went
Another way would be more difficult (just seen it today on youtube): (I wouldnt try this thing on my device though...)
Like connecting 3 resistors (resistences? - dont know how its called in English) toghether and touching the two first pins of the power conector (on the phone).
"The 2 first pins": counting from the side where you plug the speaker.

Yeah... Connect 2 point . is the way of test point. . thanks
No problem. Glad i could help.
There's also a thread on the General section for JTAG it may also be good help.

Infact the only problem is i havent the jtag
If i may suggest...
If you have some minimal knowledge on cable connections/electronics then:
Get a usb cable you can "destroy" and do the connection.
Or google for: android usb cable schematic.
Cut your usb cable in half (dont cut too close to the plug so you can re-assemble the cable), do the connection to load it under Download Mode, re-assemble the cable (properly - so you dont damage your device); flash a safe rom (like Full DDLF2).
Thats how i would do.
Just proceed with caution and patience.
Note that this is a risky thing to do and that im not responsible for any damage that could result from that procedure.
If you dont feel confortable with the procedure ask some friend or familiar that can help you out; cuz i dont want your phone to burn.
X)
Even though i never tested, it seems pretty simple to me.

Maybe..
I think you are pressing the button combination for too long. I once had a similar problem.
Leave the buttons as soon as you see the Samsung logo. make sure if you're pressing all three correctly.
PS: that secret back button doesn't work for me.

okay so i've seen where you use the volume up + down + power to go into downloading mode but how do i get to the little digger guy with the shovel? because using odin i dont know if i need to be on the screen with the shovel guy or on the screen where i have the option to reinstall packages, reboot the phone can someone help me?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
reading the stickies is a good place to start
but i've followed that thread step by step and i cannot for the life of me get odin to work
every time i do the volume up+down+power it goes into system recovery mode
If your phone functions you can use adb to get in there too. From your SDK tools folder just type "adb reboot download" and it'll send you directly to download mode
its not the recovery mode i have the problem getting to but when i do get there odin wont recigonize my phone and i need to reset to the stock rom which is why i have a feeling i need to get to the android guy with the shovel

Follow these steps exactly:
Close odin (if it's open)
Unplug phone from USB
Remove SIM/SD card
Remove Battery
Open Odin
Put battery back in
Plug in USB
Hold both volume keys THEN hold power
Continue holding all 3 keys, the screen will come on, DO NOT LET GO
The screen will go black, then turn on again- as soon as it turns off for the second time let go of the power button but continue holding the volume keys.
In a couple seconds you should get the download screen

I understand the frustration, there are a lot of stickies currently and numerous pages to browse to find information on entering download mode.
Try this:
1.) Remove the Battery, SIM card and micro SD Card.
2.) Reinstall the Battery. (DO NOT TURN ON THE DEVICE)
3.) Hold ONLY the volume buttons down and then insert the USB cable.
This should bring you into download mode (The android guy/shovel and will say "downloading....")
You do not need to press the power button at all for this method. Also, be sure to have installed the drivers for the device.

Yes, this is what I did and it works like a charm.
ONLY hold in the Vol-Up/Vol-Down buttons while plugging in the USB cable.
DO NOT press the power button.
thank you so much colton!!!! that worked so easily
haha, I see, you were using the directoins for getting out of the cell-!-cpu screen...

The phone is bricked. I flashed to the i9000 firmware and was about to root the phone and didn't bother to flash the new kernel yet. I get into recovery to go to reinstall packages to install the root, and to my surprise the power button didn't work to select since I had the wrong kernel. SO I do adb reboot download and then I try to flash the new kernel. Odin just freezes there and doesn't do anything, I unplug the data cable and then it says FAIL! on Odin. I take out the battery and put it back in to see if the phone will still boot, and now I'm stuck on the phone/computer. People have tried helping and they told me about every single key combo to put it in download and none of them work. When I told Vol+ and power the screen flashes black and then I wait for it to do it the second time and i let go of the power and it stays there at phone/computer. I've done everything I can possibly see to do it and this is my last hope to get it to work again, or else I have to take it to AT&T and lose all my stuff on the internal SDcard.
EDIT: AT&T refuses to replace the phone.
From designgears' one click Odin thread. Not sure if you tried this, but it might work.
Good luck.

"We can't replace the phone since you are not the original buyer of the phone. Talk to the person you traded with to get the receipt"
Apparently my phone was stolen because when I mention the receipt, he doesn't reply.
HI FELLOWS, JUST A HINT
here is the most easy and straight-forward way I discovered to unbrick or overcome any flashing error no matter what it is (it applies to lg o3d, and thrill 4G, I think it will apply to their fellows)
1-you must have drivers installed of-course
2-remove your battery
2-open your pc device manager and look at COM and PORT section
3-hold volume up button (only) and connect your mobile to pc through USB while pressing this button, and keep pressing until you see a new port has been added and installed in your COM and PORT section (about 15-20 sec), now you can release the button, be sure that port will stay apparent after releasing the button, or repeat this step (with longer press on volume up button)
4-put your battery back and don't touch your phone again
5-now start flashing by following these 2 tutorials in order:
a-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781
b-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929

Bricking and restoring from a bad flash are 2 completely different things, This method will restore from a bad flash it will not however recover a bricked phone.
You need to change the title to the following:
"How To Fix Bad Flashes And Softbricks"
Unbricking is not always possible.
It's only possible with a soft brick.
Hard bricks are obviously what they sound like. Paperweights. xD
Bmorn V11, Goclever A73, Eken T02, Aldi Minitab, MyAudio Tablet Series 7, ASK 748SP at the very least look the same and are probably the same tablet. So much so that I ordered a Bmorn touchscreen for my ASk tablet and it worked. ...until I factory reset it from settings a few weeks ago, since then it started freezing up ocasionally and now I get stuck at one of the 3 boot logos but I never see it boot all the way. I hope it's not hardware failing.
I found a button behind the microphone pin-hole after trying vol + and power + home and the like for hours. Can someone please tell me how I get into what i presume is called recovery mode ? I tried pushing that hidden button with the power button, but it doesn't work. Is there even a recovery mode for this device ?
Someone claims there is no recovery mode and vol + and power should work ? So what's the deal with the button behind the mic hole ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406429 "The device was strangely rooted when I bought it from the retailer. The instruction manual strangely says to boot into recovery mode by holding Vol + and the power button. I called the support company and they said that a recovery needs to be installed first. Using Root Explorer there is no recovery folder. (/recovery) - is there supposed to be?"
I'm on linux, do I really need windows to flash this ? If I fail, can I try again ? I used to get along computers really well, but android is currently totally confusing me. I found several images that might work, but I really don't mind trying out unofficial images. If I can try them one by one I'll figure it out eventually, but I'm afraid I might brick it or something. I've read about flashing bootable SD cards, but I guess that won't work here ? Nor will the images that are supposed to be flashed to an SD card work ?
I guess I'll have to bet on an image and find a Windows (I'm on Linux) machine and the rest is trial and error ?
Is there a page somewhere I could read to figure out the basics ? I feel really confused by all of this. Thank you !
I also found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23769918&postcount=3 which explains how to flash this, but maybe i don't need to go through that if there is a recovery mode ? And it also seems like those instructions are for t01, and it doesn't involve that hidden button at all. I guess this isn't what i need, right ?
I guess this should work:"Turn off your tablet.
You will find upgrade button located in microphone hole on the right side of your device. Press this button using e.g. paper clip. Next connect your device to your PC while
holding upgrade button" (http://www.goclever.com/data/upload..._d4d0bde076ab401d6cb98bb1b77713165b6ffb11.pdf).
I can't turn off my tablet. All I can do is force it to quit by holding the power button for 5 seconds, is that enough ?
I managed to get adb and although lsusb lists the device, I can't connect to it with adb. After a minute or two lsusb doesn't show the device anymore either. Do I need to have debugging enabled or something ? I was hoping to reset it with
Code:
adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
Please help!
Hello! This is a distress call, because I think I brickered my S10e, through my own fault ...
Trying to install the TWRP according to the instructions given in the Hades Rom, I made two unforgivable mistakes, since years of flashing roms ...
1) I took the wrong installation file (I have the G970F/DS, and flash the beyond2lte file, instead of beyond0lte)
2) I omitted to force boot of TWRP just flashed.
Result: I cannot enter download mode as I did before (the phone does not blink), and trying to enter recovery, out of 20 attempts, it only turned on 2 times and does not go beyond the warning screen that the oem is unlocked, and it is not a safe state. I press power to continue as it says, and the screen turns off. Of course it doesn't start normally with the power button either.
I found out recently that been connected to the PC, it is recognized by it, and I even could access to it though the Windows explorer... Ergo, it's not dead, but the screen is in the infamous "black screen of death". Tried the usb jig emulator, by sugestion of denon480, but it didn't work (see screen capture).
Is there a way to force it into download mode, to flash the correct recovery, or eventually an official firmware? The cell phone is immaculate, I can not resign myself to it turns paperweight !!!!!
I put this here, because the problem was in TWRP recovery flashing, I didn't arrived to the Hades ROM installing process, and this way I can reach more people...
I appreciate any help.
Cheers

I don't even think it is possible to brick Samsungs like that. Are you following the right steps to download mode? Ergo,
Step 1 – Turn OFF your Galaxy S10.
Step 2 – Now press and hold the following buttons on your phone together: Volume Down + Bixby Button.
Step 3 – Next, plug in one end of the USB-C cable to a computer and the other end to the phone. As soon as you will connect, your phone will power on.
I have the same problem. I do not know if the OEM unlocking has something to do with that as I can not turn on OEM although it is not missing but it is not active and can not be turned on. I tried all the solution available online but it looks like no one knows what to do even the so called experts know nothing at all and the only things they know is the direct easy way. So disappointed
Same problem here... any solutions?
