Help!!!

I can only boot into recovery, I can not boot into download mode, nor can I boot into any ROM that I flash. Most recently, I was operating the most recent PAC MAN ROM. I am unsure how to get back into anything. Is this thing totally bricked?? Any help would be great. I am using clockwork mod recovery. Please ehlp

When you plug your device into your computer and open up odin does it at least say added!!
Also are you sure you are entering download (odin mode) correctly
Are you trying to go into odin mode while plugged into your computer .. if so try without the computer (unplugged)
Thanks
EDIT: Can you get into recovery mode ?

No. I can enter recovery only by the button method. I also can briefly enter download mode with the green android guy for like 3 seconds and then the phone shuts off. I think the bootloader is bricked. It is weird though, I can get into recovery. When attempting to use Odin, usb doesnt appear to work either. cant even charge the phone

Since you can get into recovery .. can you try to tell it to boot to the boot loader or boot screen .. i forgot what the option was .. also can you post your specs like
Galaxy s3
Baseband
Whatever .. more people might want to know this information as well

How are you on clockwork mod recovery when ML1 Baseband / Bootloader is unlockable ?
Are you sure its ML1 ?
Also have you tried to install the universal drivers for your computer so the device manager can recognize it at least ?

I dont have that option in the cwm recovery i am in. I believe the cwm im on is 6.0.4.3. Also, when the phone is pulled in, it will not turn on at all. Everytime I put the battery in, it tries to boot, i see the samsung screen, then it goes to the blue android guy for like a tenth of a second and the phone shuts off. Same thing with download mode. It attempts to go to it....I see all of the info in the top left hand corner of the screen and the phone shuts off.

If you have a bad cable change it
If something else is going wrong you can call Verizon and play dumb .. instead of calling Assurian you should call the regular total care protection .. say you have a hardware issue and that you where charging it and then all of a sudden something happened
* You never know .. its all up to you .. nothing else you really can do
1. Recovery
2. Download mode
3. Try adb reboot boot loader
4. adb reboot download
5. New Charger
6. Warranty swap
There is a good channel on irc
irc.freenode.net and the channel is #verizons3 .. there is live support there

These are ADB commands. Download "Terminal Emulator" and type in the following command to boot into download mode from within your rom:
su
reboot download
Edit: Added that you must grant "su" for the command to work. Just type it in.

PLEASE HELP! Very concerned have hard bricked phone!

Hi Guys,
So the story is that I was updating my Xperia Z3 (details below) from TWRP 2.8.6 to 'twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga' using the instructions androidnewsbox.com/2016/02/08/how-to-install-and-update-to-twrp-3-0-0 and after flashing the new TWRP the phone can no longer enter recovery mode and I get no other booting/loading screens.
I had 100% battery when I started the process.
It does still do the little vibrate thing when I hold down the power button but nothing happens after that.
When I plug it into the PC the LED flashes red, then green then goes off.
Reading the instructions twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz.html I did use the 'install' function not the 'recovery' function. Is that likely to be the mistake I made? If so is there any way to recover?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Model: D6653
Previous TWRP: 2.8.6
Android version: 5.0.2
Software version: 23.1.A.0.726

Use flashtool to reflash a new system image (ftf). You're using stock so probably your kernel doesn't support FOTA-Kernel partition flashing.

Great to hear back from someone.
Unfortunately I don't think that I can just flash a new ftf using flashtool as I cant get into fastboot mode.
I have been working through the following online tutorial
engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
I have installed the USB drivers on my PC from here
androidmtk.com/download-sony-xperia-usb-driver
And i can get the ftf file from here (mine is 1288-6090)
xpericheck.com/device/D6653
Unfortunately I am unable to put the phone into fastboot mode by holding down the power and down buttons. Nothing happens.
The tutorial above also tells me "If phone not going to Fastboot mode than connect it to PC by USB. Hold Volume Up and Power button until you get company logo or backlight."
This also does nothing and I get no backlight or company logo.
FYI if it helps about a year ago I rooted my phone using a tutorial very similar to this
oneandroid.gs/root-xperia-z3/
I will keep working on the problem and post any updates as they come up.

First hard shut down your phone by using combo, after that, download the ftf for your phone (1288-6090 is the customization, what you need is an ftf that its compatible with your phone model, download flash tools, install the drivers that come with it, and using xperifirm (Included in flashtools) you download the firmware) After you have all settled up, proceed to flash your phone, select firmware and then it'll ask you to connect your phone in flash mode not fastboot mode, you can do that by pressing vol up + power (press them and while pressing them connect the usb to the pc). Then the flashing process will start. You can find many tutorials around here in xda. Do not use external tutorials, go find stuff here. It's way more reliable as many are made just for your phone.

Hi and thanks again.
This gives me plenty to learn about and go forward with thanks heaps.
I will give this process a go later today but I have a few questions if you dont mind.
hard shut down your phone by using combo

I am not familiar with any combo and without visual ques from the screen or LED I cant tell if it is off. I have a button that says 'off' near the sim card is that sufficient?

Yes that one, If you press it enough (about 5-10 secs) the phone will shutdown and It wont try to restart. This is what you need first.
h3llcat said:

No, only when connecting the phone to start flashing the system software, you will see a green light in the notification led that will then shut off and flashing process will start.

This is a great almost-up-to-date guide http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
XperiFirm is included in flashtools now so you don't have to download it, but to get your firmware you have to do the same steps but opening xperifirm from inside flashtool.
You can download flashtool here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php

Seems to be a success!
Thanks heaps for all your great assistance.

Did you get the Z3 D6653 going again?
Hi H3llcat,
Jumping through some hoops with the D6653 myself... did you get it to boot up? Not sure how far you went with it, if still an issue charge it back up and let's try a couple of things; I realize it'll just be sitting there all dumb and dark like, but do it anyway. So let us know.

Not sure if this is worth mentioning but this thread is 2 years old.
Yes I did get everything working, xkeita was a great help and the guide he sent me was useful.
Have you got issues yourself?

Please tell me i didnt kill my phone!!!

Ok so my fiancé pointed out that her phone got an update and I liked how it looked so I wanted to update mine. but I couldn't because of root. and so since I never use my root I went into super su and hit the unroot button and then my phone reset I have been in bootloop ever since. before someone suggests NO I cannot use ODIN because it wont register my phone being plugged in. YES I have the proper driver installed I triple checked and no my computer does not register the phone either. is there anything that I can do?

You didnt kill your phone!!!
The reason of bootloop is that when you press unroot in superSU it also restores unpatched stock boot.img which doesn't boot with custom recovery.
Hold power + home + volume up + volume down for 7 seconds to hard reboot your phone and enter download mode confirmation page. Press volume down to exit downloading mode and immediately hold volume up + power + home until you enter recovery. Do a factory reset.
Enter download mode confirmation page again by same method and press volume up, connect phone to your PC. Now if Odin doesn't recognize your phone then that 100% Driver or USB Cable problem. Flash latest official firmware and you should be good to go.

Nice tut! Anyway, if he still can't get recognized by PC, i suggest to try different PC, i had the same problem a while ago, my pc wouldn't recognize my phone in odin no matter what. Then i checked on my friends PC and it worked like a charm. It must be USB ports problems.

if your pc does see your phone but the odin still fails you can just use smartswitch and do emergency recovery tyoe your model number and imei in and sit back and relax and you are done

Thank YOU!!!!!!

Nonsense.... I used it when I trashed my EFS / Modem
Smart Switch does work, check your USB drivers and internet connection.
At the end of the process smart switch does verify a lot of thing, when your CPU from your computer is slow it will hang a long time on 94%

i can try via teamviewer to help you

Hey guys,
I just bought the Samsung J4+ (SM-J415F) and now have a dead phone after flashing a firmware. It doesnt turn on. I cannot put it into recovery mode. The screen is always black. This is the order of events:
1. I succesfully flashed twrp + supersu (i followed the steps from this page: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...j415f-t3876876)
2. After doing that i had a bootloop.
3. I decided to flash the following rom to get rid of the bootloop: [up_vnROM.net]_J415FXXU1ARIK_J415FOJM1ARIK_EGY_8.1_FULL (https://www.firm-ware.com/2018/10/sa...-download.html)
4. This also worked successfully and i saw the android symbol for a few seconds. However, then the power went off. Now the phone is dead.
It seems like i can turn it on to download mode (screen still black tho) and connect it to odin (odin is recognizing the phone) but if i try to flash again it stucks on "setup connection". I am using odin 3.13.1. Yes I already tried to run odin as administrator but it didnt change anything.
Any ideas how to bring my phone back to life? Any help would be appreciated.

This will happen if your cable is not connected to both PC and device.
The device needs to detect it is connected to a PC.
I suggest changing the cable.
Secondly you can try booting to Recovery mode. (with cable out)
As soon as you see that flash hold POWER + VOL UP only until you see recovery mode.

Hi, can this be repaired by service center?

If warranty still here, they should repair for you, although most likely they will go ahead and replace the motherboard.

Oh my bad.. it is not under warranty anymore, this will cost me a lot right? Is there any chance of connecting back to download mode? I cannot access it anymore, it will show connect to PC only but Odin cannot setup connection though it is added successfully.
Thanks.

have you download the updated odin?

Try with latest Odin, patched Odin, or even running Heimdall(google 'Heimdall samsung') in an Linux virtualbox.

There is a procedure involving complete shut down, then holding certain buttons and somehow (with your fifth hand) connecting cable between device and PC. Probably with Odin already running on PC.
I'm sorry, I don't remember where I saw it described. I think I used it on my SM-T290, so start by checking the T290 and T295 threads.

I don't know what the options on your new recovery screen are. (Do you know what "RDX" is?) I can't read the first stack of options.

Have you tried:
tablet shut down, no cable

I'm hoping that option
Code:
[To PC] Connect a USB Cable
means "If you want to connect to a PC, now is the time to connect a USB cable."

Upload Mode means RDX Tool...
