Hi everyone,
I got a real cheap cell phone to have it as a backup cell phone, it already came soft bricked, I was able before to enter into download mode. So, after lots of attempts (even I had already fixed other cell phones with same issue), Odin would say PASS but phone would continue with the same issue, stuck in logo, nothing else, no loop or anything, just stuck in logo. For my last attempt I tried flashing 4 files, including PIT file, and theeere it is, stopped working. So, I actually bought a usb jig and did not work. Any other suggestions? I gave a look into a youtube video titled "FIX DEAD / Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S3 i747M - Easy Method using SD card & debrick image" and it looks pretty solid but I have no idea where to get a repair image for my model or how to mount it into the SD card. Please help, this is really frustrating.

The method you're speaking of is this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
The tools are there and the "how to", you just need the debrick.img for your specific model number, find someone here with a rooted device just like yours with the same model number and firmware, get them to pull a debrick.img from there device, it's fairly simple using the Terminal Emulator app and the correct command. I've used it to make a debrick.img for my S3 but my command is slightly different than yours. I don't know the exact command you'll need for yours so you'll have to research that yourself.
If the jig didn't work and the device no longer charges or vibrates when you press power then your device is hardbricked and this method is probably a waste of your time.

Hey !
I was trying out the ROM Manager and was checking out the roms available in the list, i accidentally pressed a wrong model and my device was flashed...now my phone is hard bricked, it doesn't even switch on in any mode.
i cam across this link for Samsung Galaxy S
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838942
here he shows how to get the phone into download mode.
Wanted to know if the same procedure can be used for a Samsung Galaxy Ace ??
thanks in advance ...
an exact thing happen to me.but i manage to get my pc to detect the phone by pressing power+volume up+home (i dont know what mode).odin detected my phone but the flashing stuck at setup connection..because it was not in downloading mode i guess...
same as above, help needed!
additional info: pc and odin detect phone bot not kies, on kies it keep saying connecting....and theres no display on the phone
same here wont do anything
same with me, my phone wont start even on download mode so you cannot use odin.. please help.
same case , i accidently pressed wrong phone version and my phone was 'bricked'
any help ?
Same happened here! Has anyone found a solution??
Edit: All right. Here's what I did:
1. Remove the battery from the Galaxy Ace
2. Connect the USB cable to the PC as well as the phone
3. Hold: volume down + home + power buttons all together and insert the battery while you're doing that (could be a bit tricky but it works)
4. Now you should be in download mode with "downloading" on your screen
5. Open up Odin v4.38 and flash your stock firmware (find it on samfirmware)
6. That's it! It should be fully working now (at least it did for me)
Tell me if it works for you guys!
its okay alr , i bring it to the service center it claims my motherboard spoil , it changed a new one for me
@ramy.s - i tried what you did but still nothing happens.
@donomeoww - how much did it cost you for samsung to replace your motherboard? i know jtag can be an option to revive the unit but sadly the model is not yet supported, lucky for samsung s5570 though they already have jtag support on 1st week of april.
same thing happened to me.
did different methods to bring it to boot, even the two-prong diy to force to turn it on, still no go.
in the end, store replaced the device...with a bnew one of course.
Did anybody successfully revived bricked ACE??
Found expensive solution...
google "riff box samsung galaxy ace"
Samsung SGA revived
hey guys, i bricked my phone last april then the only solution to revive it is by replacing the motherboard or by using JTAG. btw JTAG support for samsung was released last May 12.

It just corrupts your motherboard
So a hardware issue can't be solved from home
Only option I guess is Service Center
Hope you have warranty
ROM Manager is a tricky tool
It hard bricks your phone if you do even a step wrong !
Ps ....Im just cautioning everyone so that it doesn't happen in future to others....

reloading tar by odin:laugh:
So it appears as if my Samsung Galaxy s3 running i535 and 4.1.2 has become "Hard Brick" somehow. The screen just stays black and wont light up. If i plug it into a wall charger or my computer the LED light will go into its reddish-orange color but i am unable to enter the modes that articles suggest such as download mode and recovery mode. I just read the post of the person unbricking it by using a class 10, 16gb microsd card and .img files along with a program called ODIN. Would someone be able to please link me to very detailed instructions on how to do it and all the proper files. I believe i would need a file from someone;s currently rooted phone. I dont want to send my phone away and pay for a JTAG
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

I bricked my phone and came across the same information regarding the class 10 card. I can't post links but youtube search "Unbrick HARD BRICKED Galaxy S 3 on Verizon (i535, CDMA)"
He explains how to do it in a roundabout way. He also has links in description, I believe.
Hi.
I'm a complete noob, but I have spent weeks reading the various forums, and pretty sure no-one has answered my question elsewhere. Thanks in advance for any help pointing me in the right direction.
I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus GT-S7580L that I hard bricked trying to flash a custom ROM (solaris trend by pollog09) using CWM recovery, superSU root and Odin to flash. (I had previously successfully flashed Sandpox's cyanogen mod, successfully, but it was very unstable) I have since replaced the phone and don't need it, but I want to learn this stuff.
Phone is hard bricked: No vibrate, no LEDs, no boot, no download mode, no recovery mode, no recognition by PC ( linux / win). (Battery is fine, and appears to charge when in phone and connected to wall charger)
I have tried to enter recovery mode with USB jig - no response at all (jig works in other phone)
I have tried to create a debrick image file to try boot from SD card - not sure if I did this correctly:
- I installed CWM recovery 6.0.3.7 onto my new, identical phone, copied the T999_Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick.zip file from " [HARD BRICK ?] - I919x - Make your debrick.img and have it on extSdCard by security " as is onto an SD card, booted into recovery and installed it from SD card. It seemed to work and generated a debrick.img' file. i then used win32diskimager to write this to a 4GB SD card - i could only source a class 4 4GB card (no-one makes small SD cards anymore, and I don't think they ever had C10 ones) I tried this debrick image on SD card (as well as on 16GB C10 SD card) in my bricked phone - nothing. Tried numerous times and numerous rewrites (>20)
Q1: Did I go about making a debrick.img file correctly?
Q2: Does anyone have a debrick image of Samsung Galaxy trend Plus GT-S7580L available for me to try?
Q3: Are there any other options other than a paid for JTAG? How likely is it JTAG will work
Q4: Are there DIY JTAG solutions? - I'm prepared to sacrifice the phone, do some soldering?
Thanks

Thanks.
Yes, appears to be the same ROM, looks like the same link I found from the HTCmania pages - (I don't speak italian) https://mega.co.nz/#!9ZIhXZBK!0LYtGkruoEiHu16Iqul-6fPPeR5BioRpAgs54jKpdXQ - I downloaded it 20/3/2015, though my version is 493MB and the current mega link is 470MB.
Whilst flashing it thru Odin, it just hung - I left it >5 hours (cf the stock ROM and cyanogen ROM were flashed in ~10 min.) Odin froze completely, no sign of progress) Finally I just unplugged it, as a hardbrick.
FWIW, not sure where but somewhere i read that it worked with both GT-S7580 and G-S7580L. (never trust what you read on the internet?)
My closest JTAG service have let me know they cannot repair it. Looking at the RIFF JTAG boxes available on eBay, GT-S7580L is not well supported. Time to mount it in lead and use as a doorstop.
But still keen to know how to make a debrick image, and try someone else's version...

Hi everyone, first of all i wanted to thank you for clicking on this thread and im getting straight to the point;
I have recently rooted my phone with no issues and after this i had decided to install a S6 edge twrp recovery onto my device and i did so and i immediately have got a soft brick well i think it is a soft brick however it could be a hard brick as i am not pro at this, so i read some articles on here and decided to connect my phone to odin and install stock firmware and it had failed so now my phone can still go into download mode however it is not recognised by odin or any other Samsung programs such as smart switch and kies. I have tried 2 different USB cables all the ports on my laptop and no luck. I think it is the right time to mention that i also have the phone bricked on the light blue screen with the message ''An error occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in Smart Switch PC software'' It means a lot to me as this is my only smart phone and i really need it for my education and i would really, really be thankful if someone is willing to help me as i simply need this phone as cannot afford to buy a new one, thank you in advance Maciek.

Greetings and welcome to assist. In the smart switch software on your pc there is an emergency firmware recovery option that should repair your phone. As long as you have download mode the phone is usually recoverable so don't worry. If you put your phone in download mode and follow the on screen instructions from emergency firmware recovery you should be fine
Good Luck

I have a Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus, I've tried everything to fix the problem i have. Its stuck telling me i have to use smart switch to fix my phone. Ive tried using download mode and odin and restore stock firmware of both new and the same version of android that was on the phone before the issue (5.1.1). The internal storage got wiped, since this happened i was unable to boot the phone past this point. Any time i use odin it fails at the pit file when i try to use all 4 files to repair. Smart switch doesnt even see my device in the emergency recover, I'm at a lost of what i should do, there is nothing on the internet with the same problem i have. Ive tried reinstalling drivers that also doesnt work. Odin sees the device but cant do anything with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i cant even shut the phone off without letting it die...
Still need help with this, I'm sure somewhere one of you have had this problem and know what to do.
Still stuck on emergency recovery and cant flash anything because the device wont allow it
