Emergency please help!! - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys please someone on here help my dumbass!
I smashed my galaxy note 5 out of anger today and really need help!
I rooted my phone with a custom kernel about a month ago and it constantly rebooted during calls etc.... I wanted to use Arter97's kernel with CWM but it will not boot into recovery.
My phone will not connect to the pc but will only charge! I have tried every option and no luck! I tried my other galaxy s6 and the drivers worked but not my note 5!
The root used to work before but I did a factory reset and not it says root is not properly installed!
My issue is phone will not connect to pc to use ODIN and CWM will not boot into recovery to install Arters Kernel for my Galaxy Note 5 SM-N920W8
Please help me before I cause some serious damage to anyone gets in my way in real life!

The device still works, just the glass back of the phone broke. The phone is not being recognized by the computer at all even before I smashed it.. I tried every method but it works on my s6 right away but not the note 5. It says my phone has no root now after I factory reset but my kernel is still the rooted version... 3.10.61 noble kernel v0.1
Did the root damage the hardware that it would connect to my pc?

Try a different cable and a different USB port when in download mode.
I had the same once, it's not the end of the world.

I've found the more generic the cord the more likely it will work especially if your port is bent

Tried multiple ports and multiple cords... Nothing.. at all phone is in a bootloop that wont clear either

I went to a few stores they said They have to change the motherboard for my note 5 SM n920w8... apparently that is why it changes with the usb on the pc but not data sync.... Im kinda lost on this because why would it do that!
Please help they are trying to charge me 240$...
To anyone who can help me fix this issue I will be more than happy to pay 130$

It seems like I have multiple issues now, The phone is in a bootloop and will not pass Samsung Note 5 Logo, and the other problem is the device is not being detected on my computer.. Now it kinda seems worse because I am not even getting the error anymore it just won't connect.
I can still enter Odin download mode and Recovery mode yes.
I took it to the shop and they said they can fix itbut will cost around $240.00 to replace the motherboard so it can connect to the computer. If I can make it connect I can fix this whole issue..
I have tried multiple cords, multiple computers, disabled and enabled drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, updated drivers, every possible way you can think off with the computer.

Just curious - How did you arrive at the $130 figure?

Just in case you don't know press power volume up and volume down and hold until download menu appears

i think i broke my infuse :(

first of all it was working all good with jvu saurom port then out of curiosity i decided to go for jbparanoid,
after that everything is good but i decided to go back to gb(jvu saurom port) i cant seem to load it to red cwm after flashing the port of jvu,
so i tried formating /system/cache/data still no red nor regularbootup
stupidity strikes i decided to format boot :crying: there i got the samsung logo but wont even start to boot nor i cant access blue or red cwm :crying::crying:
now im on my laptop trying to go back to stock and Download mode it cant even show the option its just samsung logo and it cant even be recognized by my laptop tried uninstalling everything that relates to samsung and fresh install kies and samsung drivers but no luck tried heimdall/odin it doesnt go it cant even recognize my phone :crying::crying:
i need help im pretty close to darkness here :crying:
THANKS
btw my laptop is running windows7 64bit
Try pulling the battery then put battery in and hold volume up and volume down then plug in USB cable and see if it goes into download mode. If it doesn't the ONLY two things that will possibly work is a USB jig or getting a memeber who can JTAG it and recover it for you.

Sometimes it's just a matter of waiting and perseverance. Try disconnecting your phone from the computer, taking the battery out, leaving it for 10 mins. & then coming back and trying again.

do you get any kind of error message when you try to connect the phone.... I had a similar problem and had to redownload the drivers ..... then was able to get the computer to recgonize the phone... the other issue you might have is a bad USB cable.

Err disregard that, forgot you cant boot. You try odin on a different computer?
nope can't find it on my mac or pc or the other pc
You have another cable you can try to see if its the cable? Also will it atleast charge when you plug it in?
yepp it charge! and i have tested diffrent cabels!
Have you tried reflashing a rom or restoring a backup? Also what were you doing that made it not boot?
If it's stuck on 'the logo' then how is it bricked?
Reboot into recovery and flash something else.

Dude chill out your phone didn't brick if it did you wouldn't get to download mode hell it wouldn't be on at all. Just follow these guys advice and you will be fine. Oh and FYI your phone is stuck on a bootloop.
I would suspect the cable. I have tons of good quality Micro USB cables from phones past. ADB can Win7 can only see my S3 using the cable that came in the box. Others will charge it and view storage but not let me push stuff to it.

I had to call VZW for a replacement USB cable because I like to keep my nandroids on my computer for backup, and it would freeze or not work, so I broke out the HTC USB cable, and it worked great, so determined either the Samsung cables blow, or mine was bunk.
it would charge and do everything else just fine, just couldn't move media without it disconnecting
Can't i do enything with sd card? it's rooted and evrything!

Samsung SL I9003

Hi all,
Please help... I tried to flash my SL I9003 and somehow the connection broke in between.
Now the mobile doesnt power on and when connected to the laptop, I just see the processor getting recognized and then disappears. within 2 seconds.
I tried with USB Jig but nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Please help. I dont want to loose this phone dead.
Does Odin recognize the phone? I mean, with Odin on, press volume down + power, connect it to the laptop and see if the phone goes into download mode so Odin could recognize it (COM status shown)
Hope this helps

this should be in the general .
take out the battery. put back in and get into download mode if possible. if not, to the service center you should bring it..

your username 9000
you are sure that you are in the right section ?
If not you COME to burn your motherboard
The only solution, samsung service center with your operator
If longer supported you still have to flash the board with a Jtag repair tools Professional equipment
You shook minimum 60 € without success if really toasted your motherboard
Sincerely ...
Thank you all for ur suggestions.
@kralin, the phone doesnt get recognized using the odin. doesnt startup and no lights and no logo. I have installed the processor drivers in my windows 7 laptop and when connecting the phone, it recognizes the processor for 2 seconds and disconnects.
@imjustafq, this was the first step when I thought I bricked my phone but to no use.
@LoLaTiOn, dont worry about the username. I am in the right section.
I tried to check with Samsung center and they said they dont know what to do. not tied with any operator though..

[Q] Need Help: Unbrisk Samsung Infuse i997R

Hi,
I have got Samsung Infuse i997R, which I unofficially upgraded to JB 4.2 and then trying to downgrade, got bricked.
Samsung Kies/ODIN no more detects the phone. And its not switching to Download mode either.
I already used Volume Up+Down options as well as Jig solution. Though, display show me to connect to to Samsung Kies but its in vain.
Can anybody suggest me some way out here to bring life to my phone.
Thanks in advance.

I know I have done some series of mistakes here while playing with my phone android but here is the sequence:
The phone was earlier bear GB 2.3.6 which I have upgraded to JB 4.2 directly using Clock mod & all (the steps available on most of site).
After upgrade I came to know that my IMIE number goes invalid; thus o more phone calls were working.
Followed by this, I tried downgrading it after which my phone got stucked in Download mode.
I accidentally pulled the USB cable post which it was not going into Download mode either and displays the warning message to connect to Samsung Kies.
But now, neither Samsung Kies nor ODIN recognizes it. I tries to get into Download mode again using Volume UP+Down combination as well as Jig but its not working for me either.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Had the same problem and seems there is no way out w/out being able to get into dl mode.
I was already on 4.2.2 rom beanstock & wanted to flash a different rom, did all the correct things in the correct order.
What I DIDN'T do was format the system option while in cwm and I have (I think) major incompatibility problems.
ok so if I could get into dl mode i'd could flash back to stock & start over. NOT without a dl screen.
from what I can see & read there is no way out of a hard brick like this.
yes, tried every possible combination of two button, battery in battery out, usb cable in out, different usb ports on computer.
not much help anywhere when in this problem mode.
looking for a cheap i997 & pull the main board & put it in this bricked phone & hopefully get into dl mode.

Won't connect to PC no matter what (Tried everything)

Well I've tried everything to get Odin and Heimdall to see my phone and NOTHING will work. I used the .apk to get root access and put the modded bootloader on the phone to flash it. That all worked fine but I flashed a new rom with an incompatible bootloader so now I can not read anything on it and it will only bootloop the samsung logo.
I've tried every driver I can find and multiple USB cords. My Galaxy Mega will connect to Odin without any issues at all (So I assume it's not the USB cord or USB slots on the PC), however NOTHING will allow this darn Infuse to show up.
I am using Windows 8 on a Lenovo PC (if that matters). Does anyone have any suggestions that might be able to get me to be detected by Odin so I can take it back to stock and start fresh? Really getting annoyed with this phone's unwillingness to cooperate with my PC.
Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.
So, I guess nobody has any suggestions on what I can do?
Have you tired using Heimdall?

Absolutely nothing happens at all. I've tried two different computers now, with a total of 6 different USB cables, and EVERY driver I could possibly find.
Even before I bricked it, it would charge via the PC, but would not show up any options for PC connectivity.
I may sound stupid but how u putting ur phone in DL mode ?
Yeah.....its typed on Note 3.

I pulled the battery, held in both volume controls, plugged in USB cord, then popped the battery back in. It gave me the warning screen about flashing another OS, and I had to hit Vol Up to confirm going into Download mode.
....Any suggestions on where to go from here?? This is getting to be rather disheartening.
It's a long shot but try using another computer. I can't think of any reason why it would make a difference but it's worth a try.

I've already tried that. It would not show up on that computer either. A buddy is gonna bring over a laptop in the next few days so I can try it on that one, but since it has already failed to be recognized on two PC's, I imagine it will also fail on the third.
You might need to buy a jtag for your device.

If you are able to get your phone into DL mode, it sounds like it is still salvageable.
The idea is to get a device recognition with a PC.
If you have already remove and re-install the original samsung drivers, tried different PCs, different USB ports and different USB data cords - then it could the the usb port on the device that is not working correctly.
You can try gently forcing the port in different directions etc..or just take the risk and replace the port yourself or sending to a repair shop.
USB replacement runs about $35 to $50. Mobiletechvideo's currently charges $35

your problem is simple : uninstall all the drivers and Kies. Then reboot and reinstall Kies. now you can connect your phone with odin. It's because in some way, you got your drivers corrupted or changed and they are not able to be used with odin. It happens to me so many times that i cannot count them
So good luck with this issue but im pretty sure you will get rid of this problem with this procedure
Have a nice day !
