[Q] Samsung i9105p completly bricked

Hello,
Yesterday I wanted to partition my SD card for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (i9105p). And I followed those steps on a website (sorry, I'm new on this forum, I can't post the link... Googled "How to manually partition your SD card for Android Apps2SD" and go in the first website).
On this website, I used Android Device Bridge (ADB). (Step 1: in ADB, I wrote "adb shell". Step2: "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0". Step3: "print". Step4: "rm 1", "rm 2"...).
I think that I did a very very very bad thing in step 4. I removed all the partitions of my internal memory (including the SYSTEM).
I followed all steps. At the end, I push the Power button to select "Reboot your system". And the screen became black and then nothing !
My phone can't power on. I can't go into recovery mode. I can't go into download mode. My phone is not detected in my computer !
So my phone is completly bricked !!
Before doing this, I had Cyanogenmod 11 thanks to the post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-plus/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-t2800254
Please tell me that there is a solution.
Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for replying.
I didn't know the usb jig. When I googled it I found that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-usb-jig-faq-frequently-questions-t1402286
I think that it's only for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (but I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (i9105P)).
And, according to this website, it solved only soft bricked phones. However, my phone is hard bricked, and maybe worse (if it's possible...) !
Indeed, I think that I completely removed the OS (since I removed all the partitions !) and it cannot boot !
Are you sure that it can solve my problem (before I buy it) ?
My phone had at the beginning 8GB.
Is there a way to boot the phone on a SD card ? (I have 8GB on it)
If there is, can you explain me how to do it step by step (I'm a newbie, I don't understand everything sorry).
Thank you again.

Usb jig works every Samsung phones. Usb jig can safe your hard bricked phone too.
When u put jig in, ur phone boots to download mode and you are able download Stock firmware to your phone.

I am not completely sure if it will help. If the download mode stuff is also stored on the mmc chip, how could it boot to download mode then?

No even your bootloader is erased(at least I think so). And even if you can boot to anything, your efs partition is wiped and things like radio, bluetooth, wifi may not work anymore

Galaxy s6 stuck at boot? Unable to fix

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks

The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

Have you made sure you have the latest Samsung drivers installed on your computer?( http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117) And after that, try to see if Odin recognize it download mode, after you have confirmed you wanna flash new Rom ( volum up)

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.

Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.

Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

So it doesn't recognize it all all? Doesn't give you unable to read device error or anything?

First thing to try would be flashing stock firmware with Odin.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb8iduv2o9i1ece/G920TUVS3DOJC_G920TTMB3DOJC_TMB.zip?dl=0
I recommend Odin 3.10.6
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dlmxtc0ic7u7ew/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip?dl=0

already done, with same results stuck at boot loop, tried to add a custom recovery which got denied by knox

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.
Report back

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help

If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.

Reflash your phone with one of this ROM will help you to make your problem resolved 100%

Help - Need to access Note 3's internal data, phone rebooting

Hi,
I've searched and searched, and posted on other forums looking for help. If anyone can help me, I would truly appreciate it.
My mother's phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005) recently updated itself to Android 5.0. This somehow broke the phone, and now it is in a reboot loop. Once the phone starts up, it will reboot itself within a second. I can still run it in "Odin" mode, and in recovery mode. Safe mode doesn't work.
Most people would want advice on how to fix their phone, but I've come to accept that it will need a factory reset/flash. However, I would really like to backup the photos on the internal memory. Is there a way?
I have tried:
1) Deleting the cache;
2) Using Odin tools to load different firmware versions on the phone (4.4.2, other 5.0 versions for different carriers);
3) Safe mode.
Nothing has worked so far. All I want to do is have the phone start up and remain on whilst I plug it into a PC and copy the photos. I'm willing to try anything, so if you have any tips, please share them. If there's anymore technical information I can provide to help, let me know.
Thank you.

If you have installed the TWRP you can try to make a backup and then still via TWRP copy it to the PC by using OTG and TWRP file manager, and then open it

Thanks. I've heard a lot about TWRP but haven't used it yet. The phone isn't rooted but I can hopefully root it and try your method. Can you please elaborate on OTG a bit? Haven't heard of it, but I'll look it up.

Ok, so you can install the TWRP w/o root using odin. The OTG is a specification that allows any device capable of acting as a host (such as a smartphone ) , to communicate with USB devices, and so with OTG you can copy files from your phone to a usb or viceversa. :good:

Hi Guys,
For unknown reasons my fone went DEAD (BLACK SCREEN... NOT A SINGLE SIGN ON CHARGING OR USB).. Need advice what to do ??? is it dead or can be brought back to life by FLASHING ???
Any senior member or someone please help me ...

If you connect to pc how will it be?try charge it first.then connect to pc.if detect, flash stock rom.if cant,try find spare battery just in case.

FOne is not showing any charge sign or anything... just QD LOADER 9008 in Device Manager

Do you see charging light when you plug in the charger?
As long as the phone receiving power you can fix it.

Try connect to kies.does it detect or not? if you able to flash. try flash it to 5.0.1

What was the battery level (approx.)when the phone died?
You might want to try cleaning the battery and internal phone contacts with some Isopropyl Alcohol and a Qtip.
See if that helps.

No Sir still no solution of this problem

I helped a good man, he sent an image of the device. I recorded this image of the sdcard and the device will start with "Download" mode. Next, it is necessary to firmware flashing.
915F - sorry - region "SER". But the main thing - is to run the device, further will flashing firmware what you need.
Site do not give insert a link to a file. Write me in the mail - "[email protected]" I'll send a link to file/
Write the file need with program "win32 disk imager". If this method does not help is probably a problem with the hardware.
Good luck.

As per the screen shot posted it seems your pc picked up the correct driver. Now all you need to install is Odin. Then go to samobile.com and search your phone under Firmware. Make sure you got the exact model (pull out the battery and look for exact model #). Once downloaded go to Odin and check AP and select the file you downloaded. Then put your phone on Download Mode by pressing Vol Up + PWR at same time. Follow the instructions on your phone screen.
Once you connect your phone to pc it will show up as Port 3 or 4 or wherever the driver is connected to.
** As long as on Odin your phone gets picked up you will be able to push the firmware. Once you can do that you pretty much fixed it. If it's wtong fw then you will get a notice right away, if it's correct then you see the progress bar changing.

BL is corrupted, need to repair it,
Since this is a Qualcomm based device, you can flash only BL files to an SD Card then boot your device from that card until you get into Download mode,
then reflash the device with Odin,
Follow this guide:
1. Download debrick (BL) file from HERE,
2. Download Win32DiskImager from HERE,
3. Get an 32GB SD Card and connect it to PC,
4. Setup Win32 and Run it then do as the following picture,
5. Just let it finish, Then disconnect the SD Card,
6. Make sure the device's battery is well charged,
7. Put the SD Card into the phone,
8. Now you need to boot device into Download mode either by using USB JIG or by holding (Vol-, Home and Power),
9. Once device boot into Download, Pull out the SD,
10. Now just flash the phone with Latest FW (either Factory or One-Package will do the job),
11. There is no 11, we're done ..
##NOTE: Solution is TESTED and it works.

@mirosaw2 Will this also work with the SM-N915FY? Will this keep my data (contacts, SMS, photos etc) on the internal storage? I have my SM-N915FY in a state where it wouldn't recognize any commands, but it makes a connect / disconnect sound on my Windows computer when I just connect it via USB...
My original question is here.... https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/note-edge-sm-n915fy-bricked-dreadful-t3754559
Edit: I just tried it and it worked!!! Thank you very much, now I'm able to restore my data and then I'll try to make the error gone with this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66879466&postcount=10

[Completed] Help! Seriously messed up ROM mod on Galaxy Tab 10.1

So I got this free Galaxy Tab 10.1, and tried adding a Custom ROM to help it run better, and be able to run some apps that the old android 3 os couldn't run. As of now, it has CWM v6.0.3.6 installed, as well as a KitKat ROM. This ROM seems to have been corrupted, and now the keyboard constantly stops working (receiving constant pop ups about it) and it no longer will connect to my PC via USB, although it still charges when it is plugged in.
I made a mistake when I was installing this ROM, and my backup stock ROM was never loaded onto the tablet.
My original thought was to use the install from sideload option to get a different ROM onto it, but it doesn't detect even in Recovery mode.
Odin does detect the device, so is there a way to use this utility to fix this problem? Or maybe some other option that I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for the help

Greetings and welcome o assist. If odin detects your device then kies emergency firmware recovery should work, that will return your tablet to its original state. The other option is to flash a different rom through recovery, just download it to your sd card and then flash it
Good Luck

I booted the device into download mode, where it is detected by Odin. Kies can tell that something is connected, but it just continuously tries to connect. The device does not have an sd card slot, so there is no way for me to add a different rom to it.
EDIT: Kies does not detect anything being connected at all if the device is booted normally.

Additional update:
By using the calculator app to copy paste numbers, I've gotten the device connected to my phone's hotspot, along with my laptop. Perhaps there is some way to force a file download over wifi? The device shows up in my network places on my laptop, but the folder is empty.

If you start kies and select emergency firmware recovery it will ask you to put your phone in download mode and connect it. Does kies recognise it then?
