[Q] My galaxy i9003 soft bricked???

Hi
Some help please, I installed cm 11, on my i9003 from DDMF1, I HAD lot of bugs in it, camera bug in third party app, battery drain, i decided switch back to cm 10.2.
Here what i did wrong, i flashed straight from CM through cwm, i got aborted error, then i gave up, my phone drains in 2 hrs, so i tried to install DDMF! from back up of cwm.
it didnt work either, now phone stuck at samsung logo, it doesnt switch off too, i have to remove battery to switch it off,
i tried some searching in forum downloaded DDLF2 , phone goes to download mode, but my pc cant recognize it, it says unknown device.
reinstalled kies and drivers no use. now am stuck.
please advice, sorry if my english is bit bad

[Q] please help, softbricked galaxy s5 active

i made a extremely poor decision and was trying to change the boot animation loader when i actually changed the boot cmd and now it boots to samsung then to download everytime,. i can get into the onboard recovery yet i cant access safestrap and none of the many many drivers ive tried i cant get the phone to show to connect, its listed as unknown device in my device manager and ive hand picked the ones im supposed to have to other ones. ADB doesnt see it either and i was wondering if there is cmd for adb to find myu device, if you help me guys i promise ill only practice on hand me down smart phones.

This may be a dumb question, but have you tried Odin? I have had situations similar to this with my Samsung devices and always thought i bricked. But as long i could get into download mode, i could Odin back to stock and start over.

ya but i havent even tried loading a file into odin cause it wont see my device
and i have installed the samsung drivers but after this happened my pc wont see the phone

has to be a way to get a connection between the pc and phone

I'm not an expert so I'm not sure. Do you have the correct drivers installed on PC?

Try different Odin versions. And make sure you have the proper drivers installed on the PC.

ya ive actually read that it probably doesnt have the function running to talk with the pc cause it cant boot. im all set up to reset the phoone. just need it to appear in my odin
..does kies still work?

When you boot to system
It doesn't show anything right ??
but the touch is still functioning
Sent from my GT-i9300 running cm11 using tapatalk.

when i just boot it goes to download mode and says "could not do do normal boot"

i can access recovery mode and download mode but i cant get drivers to show it, and it used to show it until i did this, can i put a file on my micro SDcard from my pc via card reader then install it in recovery mode ? like firmware or a memory wipe reset?

If you can get into recovery, I believe that would be possible. Couldn't hurt to try. As long as you can get into recovery and all the recovery functions work, I don't see why you couldn't.

fixed it!
well after two nights of reading i got my pc to discover the device by changing ports three different times to find one that seamed to like it. and also installed kies and installed the drivers from them, (figured couldnt go wrong after as many as ive used from samsung and others). so win7 pro / altered boot command and only stock options afterwards sucks big time. ty all for helping me

never let up

[Completed] Android Note 2 stuck on firmware encounter an issue

Hope this is the right place to be asking this question
First timer so pls excuse if i miss out anything.
I was doing an ota firmware update to my t mobile Samsung note 2 (SGH-T889) using kies 3.1. My phone was stuck on 41 percent for about an hour so i disconnected the phone thinking that it will reboot and ask me to reconnect. Well since it didnt, its been stuck on this firmware encounter an issue please selcet recovery mode in kies and try again.
I hooked it back up and now in kies it just says connecting but nothing happens.
i tried putting my phone in download mode to see if itll connect to kies and still nothing. The phone wont allow me to get into recovery mode due to this issue. Im a mac user so i even downloaded wine to use odin i downloaded all samsung drivers needed for a connection and odin cant even detect my phone. Im not sure if usb debugging is on in my phone . I cant access nothing on my phone i tried many tricks on youtube looked at xda forms i even went into tmobile and they didnt kno what to do. Im using the factory usb, i tried diff ports and just cant seem to get a good connectiong between either programs. Please helps its been 3 days without a phone..thank you

[Completed] Need help with Samsung Galaxy S4, Model: (SM-S975L)

I'm not sure if my phone is soft bricked or hard bricked. My phone was having some kind of firmware issues so like an idiot and not backing anything up, I tried to flash a stock firmware on my phone with odin and it failed. My phone is not rooted or anything it is complete stock and now when I try to boot up the phone I'm not sure if it goes into recovery automatically or what but when I turn it on it goes to this screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". If this is not recovery mode then I can only go in download mode I have tried going into recovery mode. I've tried odin several times, using different usb cables and different usb ports on my computer and still nothing, I have used Samsung Kies and Kies 3 they both fail and then tell me that I need to do emergency recovery from another computer with a code but it is just blank when it comes up it does not give me any codes. I've even went to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery and still shows no codes or anything it is still blank.
Suggestions?

I fixed it, for anyone who may have the similar problem this will help you: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-sm-s975l-twrp-4-4-2-custom-roms-t3009757
For me, all I needed to do was flash twrp recovery and my phone started working again so I decided not to mess with anything else

samsung galaxy s6 won't get recognized by computer so impossible to flash Rom

I have a massive problem, after days of research i have found NOTHING..
Ok so i had a rooted samsung galaxy s6, i was getting a bit tired of having it rooted (didnt really serve any purpose) so i decided to unroot via the superSU app then i restarted my phone and it hasn't been able to turn back on ever since.. it'll show the logo over and over again when i try to turn it on. I tried wiping the cache partition, wiping the data, rebooting it every single way possible, no luck..
So i decided i had to flash the Rom using the latest version of Odin but the problem with that is that now my phone isn't getting recognized by my computer i have tried installing the proper drivers, changing usb cables, ports, computers.. I even tried installing samsung smart switch and kies but nothing works.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem please help.

Have you tried to get into download mode and run the emergency recovery feature via smartswitch?
I had the same issue with an old S6. The emergency recovery feature asks you the model and serial number of your device and immediately recovers it when you have a bad software restore.

If you can get to recovery mode, you should be able to get to download mode. Serial #s are easy to find with a simple google search. It will depend on what version of S6 you might have.
