Hey guys, I hope you can point me in the right direction.
My son decided that he wanted to try and root his Galaxy using Odin. Nothing I would ever tell him not to do, but he is young and never fully reads through the directions of a good root process before beginning. It started off with a problem of only booting to a frozen battery icon, and never going any further. It would not even let you turn the phone completely off. It would simply reboot back to the battery sign which didn't budge. So he had the brilliant idea of trying Odin again, except this time, he left the Delete Partition checkmarked. While going through the process, his computer lost power, and of course the process was interrupted. Only now, the Galaxy Tab will not turn on at all. When we plug the tab into the computer, Windows states that the USB device is not recognized. However it will let us in to the device file folder structure, although everything is empty. Is there anything that can be done with this machine, or is it simply Totalled?
Thanks for any help you can point me to.

Ill start with a thanks for the time.
Samsung GT i9300 Galaxy S III
Vodafone (Not certain)
No Root
No USB debugging
No screen
Need the images from internal memory.
I have a Samsung GT-i9300 Galaxy S III with a faulty screen. When I boot the phone all I get is what looks like frozen static with the odd spot of random colour, no boot sounds, I've left it for a few minutes and tried tapping around but get no feedback or sounds.
the device is not rooted, I cant imagine USB debugging is enabled as the previous user barley knew how to turn on mobile data....
what I want is the images from the devices internal memory before I flash the thing.
Now without debugging enabled, from what I've found out so far, I need to use ADB, I've looked around on line but cant find anything that doesn't assume I have some existing knowledge. I am by no means a completely useless with this stuff, but I haven't really gone further than installing custom ROMs.
Can anyone point me to a noob friendly guide or some step by step guide for this?
Hi,
This thread may help… but unfortunately, you'll need to learn as you go. Some basic know how is needed.

I have a i9063t and apparently it's hard bricked. I won this a couple months ago and it had a problem very annoying of reseting alone all the time, mostly when I was in the middle of something important. I tried to put it back to factory but it didn't fix the problem. So I tried to fix it thinking "This may be a software problem, since it has no official update, I'll put a custom rom in it!" ... Installed Odin, Kies, wiped to factory, put it download mode, connected and chose a rom that apparently worked for this device. Then something happened. Odin just crashed, and my phone it's stuck in the samsung logo. It doesn't go to download mode anymore neither recovery mode! When I turn it on it goes to the logo or the charging animation if it's plugged. Odin doesn't recognize it anymore since it doesn't go to download mode. I'm really desperate for this, is my only phone and I have no money for a new one or technical assistance (will cost me almost a new one) and I really need it (and feel pretty stupid that I've bricked it). I've tried a lot of tutorials but all of them requires download mode. I've also read somewhere that all the bricks may have a solution, some are simple, but some are funky. I really really need help here. This ! is always on top. Anything you may know is helpful, please.
Hi,
Thanks for using XDA assist.
Unfortunately, when your device can not access the recovery or download mode, your phone may not be able to be repaired by the user. You may be able to use the Emergency Firmware recovery in Kies to restore your phone to stock firmware, that's only if it can detect your device. Maybe a mobile service center can restore it back to life, but they do charge quite a bit depending on where you live.
Alternatively, you can register a XDA account and post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum so that someone else may be able to help you out.
Good Luck! - gsstudios
Ok so i tried rooting my metro pcs galaxy j7 following the instructions from this youtube video i found... I would send the link but this website won't let me. It's titled "How to root Galaxy J7" and its made by "RootAndroidz" if you would like a better idea of what I did to root it and what I might have messed up on...
Ok so i got the the last step. after completing the download of the root. the step where it says to turn off your phone and hold down the top volume button, the power button, and the home button... and wen i did that instead of showing up the screen with the options it showed a message saying "recovery is not sceandroid enforcing" i don't even know what this means. I'm guessing my phone got softbricked? i don't know man I'm not technology savvy. but i tried. either way i want to root my phone and clearly it didn't work. also if my phone now has serious issues because of this i don't know what I'm gonna do... please help. thanks. sorry if there are bad typos. i tried going back and fixing them all.
