Well, i think there is a problem with the display if is booting and in recovery is the same. You can try to flash with odin stock firmware but you have to do it "blind". Search for odin tutorial anf follow step by step even if you don't see enithing on screen.

If you want to go blind into download mode maybe the following will help:
1: hold power volume down and home button for around 5/6 seconds then let them go
2: press the volume up key and see if odin recognize the device.

Before we proceed, make sure:
1-You have installed your Samsung Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P USB drivers on your PC.
2-You need to enable USB debugging mode (Settings>Developer options) which is deactivated by default.
3-Your SII Plus GT-I9105/P should have 70-80% charge remaining.
4-Your SII Plus GT-I9105/P should be factory unlocked.
5-Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data stored in phone memory in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.
6-Make sure that kies program is not running & disable antivirus.
How to do it:
Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up. (For some phones, when you see the construction Android robot and a triangle, press Power again to confirm to enter into Download Mode).
Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy SII Plus GT-I9105/P to your computer.
Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn blue and will show the COM port number.
Step 4) unzip the downlowded file, u will get a Home.tar file.
Step 5) click on pda in odin (if odin 3.09 choose AP) and choose the file "xxxx.tar.md5"
Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic)
It is recommended to make hard reset after flashing to have a fresh official firmware.

[Q] Some other functions of my device not working.

Hi there. I need help for my device. After I rooted my Samsung galaxy core I8262 i'v planned on installing the CWM Recovery. But before that, I tried to back up my device using the TITANIUM Backup. While the backup procedure is on the process my phone shuts down (because the battery is low i guess). After then, when i turned on my phone, the boot process stops only at the SAMSUNG logo. But after a couple of restarts (maybe 10 i guess) my phones passes the boot process of the SAMSUNG logo. Now while i'm using my device I've found out some other malfunctions like:
1) I can't detect and bluetooth devices even other devices tried to detect me but its undescoverable.
2) I can connect to a hotspot device, but i cant access the Internet even if it has a connection.
So far those where the problems that i had encountered yet after the backup problem occurs. What should I do in this kind problem? Should i upgrade my firmware?
Thanks

How will i do that? Thanks?
I already have an Odin v1.85 but I dont really know how to do it?
Im new in this ^_^

Download the stock firmware from the site SamMobile, then turn off your phone and press Power + Volume ↓ + Home and vibrates when the phone leaves the power and press volume ↑. Then connect your phone to the PC, open odin, click pda and select the file . md5 of the stock rom you downloaded and click start.

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.

[HELP!!] Hardbrick after installing TWRP

Hi guys,
So today i tried to install TWRP on my Galaxy S8+ with odin
after reboot it asked for somekind of reset so i did but TWRP wasnt installed.
I tried it again but before it rebooted i checked if TWRP got installed and still no TWRP
so i flashed it again without booting in to the phone.
Phone reboots.. well actually NOT.
its not booting up and keeps showing me the Samsung Galaxy S8+ text with powered by Android below.
So now i tried to flash the stock firmware again but odin keeps saying FAIL (DeviceInfo).
i only can get into download mode, recovery mode buttons doesnt work.
also tried it with Smartswitch & Kies but after downloading the firmware it wont recognize my phone.
Please someone help? i really dont know what to do anymore...

You can download Samsung Smart Switch and choose the emergency software recovery option. You'll loose everything on the phone but it sounds
as if you're already there.
It will ask for your phone serial and exact model no., then it will download the latest release and install.
Usually will work from the screen your on, but if a prob., boot into download mode.

What device model do you have?
I assume its a 955F or FD?
Please dont tell me you have a U version.
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, S7 edge or S6

1. Download earlier firmware AQF7
2. Hold power, volume down and bixby button for download mode
3. Open Odin on your PC
4. Add the AQF7 BL and only this
5. Hit start and straight after this hold the 3 buttons in again power, volume down and bixby (this should fail at first and bring you straight back into download mode)
6. Now back on Odin spam the start button this time (this should flash the BL and have you sorted again)

This - you probably have the newer AQG5 bootloader, which TWRP doesn't support yet.
So follow the instructions above, flash back to the previous bootloader, the you'll be able to flash TWRP ok.

I had the same issue once before. What the fail device info. I think I fixed it by using the most recent update (I think). And messing around with csc files. All this was done half assed in desperation. Then went back to the unlocked firmware and stopped messing with it. Yes Smart switch didn't do crap. Use updato.com to obtain your firmwares

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.

HI, thanks for the reply, actually the tab has been added and recognized in odin, but while Odin will try to setup connection if always fail. and bootloader screen is not showing anymore only this new recovery screen which is totally different from the original and from those I have seen in the forum. attached image is the new recovery screen when I press Power + vol. up button.

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.
The tricky procedure I am trying to remember had to do with triggering download mode, and getting Odin to connect. Try to find a more reliable description of the procedure, it will probably include an explanation of what problem it is trying to solve.

Well not long before I saw someone enter this ss rdx mode. Maybe it is some sort of crashdump mode or something. Let the battery drain down and try to boot up again.

Have you tried:
tablet shut down, no cable
run Odin on PC
boot tablet
connect cable between tablet and PC
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...
Upload Mode
There are several modes that Wave bootloader supports for certain purposes. The normal mode and low power mode just start the Nucleus kernel. I'm also pretty sure everybody knows what a DOWNLOAD MODE is (one with the red letters, but if initiated...
