Good to all, yesterday I downloaded an operating system for my phone, it came from a brick, it turns out and I did flash by dload folder by pressing the 3 corresponding buttons. It arrived at 100% normal and it restarted automatically, but it does not give image, is in black screen. I had the idea to connect it to the pc, and it recognizes the pc, appears in fastboot mode and appears in My Pc an ADB device.
Someone please help me solve it. Thank you

You said it booted up to Home screen and you were able to use it as it was supposed to be? Have you tried force restarting using by holding the power button?

I got you. For using the dload method you don't need a screen to see. Just keep holding all the 3 keys together (Volume up, down and power)
try this or if you already did let me know.

My friend, the phone was fine. What I did was to install an update and reached 100%, after that, the phone automatically rebooted and did not turn on the screen anymore, it turned black, I connect it to the pc and it recognizes it by fastboot and adb, but it does not present any image

Bro can you can try to unbrick using dcunlocker , may be it give some luck , we have no other options.
As you said your device is detected by ADB, so why don't you try to boot it into bootloader then extract your Update.app from dload folder and flash them using fastboot commands manually.

But sad thing is the phone is not allowed in his country:crying:
What is his country? And if it was bought from China/Hongkong/Singapore the seller will take the phone to repair. & and if the phone is from somewhere else he needs to contact the Huawei support of that country and that's it. If he is lucky he will get a free Airway bill (like I got an hour ago) from Huawei and KABOOMH! His device will be fixed and sent back to him via mail. Simple.....................

Also he can repair it through the huawei service of his country by paying a lot of money.

Hello!
It seems I have the same problem in the op.
My honor 8 seems being bricked: it does not boot, does not vibrate, the LED does not light up and the phone does not give sign of life.
There is only a beep when I plug in the phone to the pc anche when I type "fastboot devices" I see the serial number on the phone and the little icon on my desktop like in the pic above.
I tryed unbricking it using multi tool with boot, cust, recovery and system.img and the flash is okay but after this flash the phone is in the same situation before the flash.
I asked in the multi tool's thread and someone told me it is the "Black fastboot issue".
I Google it and I find this thread..

Yesterday, I tried a oneclick root application but turns out only to complete the mission halfway. After pushing volume up and power button, I see
Lock state- unlocked, but Rom manager told me I'm not rooted
Today I found several thread, including the sticky thread on the top of the forum page, to root it the regular way. However, when I proceed to
fastboot oem unlock
nothing happens on the phone screen
Then I tried next step
"fastboot flash recovery 3024v3-i9023.img"
the picture of what happened is attached

I try the recovery option on the phone, but few seconds later exclamtion sign and android robot show up. I'm able to get out of it and go into android system recovery, which only has 4 option
reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I tried both wipe option but they are both fruitless except wiping out all my data. They didn't change the lock/unlock property.
My i9023 is on 2.3.6, don't know if it matters.
So here is my situation, this is my first attempt to root the phone.
Guys help me please.
Did you get it rooted?
Have you tried this?

No matter how I try, it's always android 1.0 device...
Just in case we are missing the obvious, when you run your fastboot command, is your phone plugged into your computer via usb, and with your phone on the bootloader screen (power button + volume up when your phone is off)?
also, try:
fastboot devices
Guys, finally get it rooted and installed cm7.1. But the driver still seems to have some problem. It still reads android 1.0 in the device manager on the computer but the cwm is flashed in accidentally. Everything after is easy.
Hello all,
Yesterday I was trying to flash JB, flash it successfully but then when i need to flash gapps the rainbows inside recovery was so annoying that i try to flash a GB bootloader, I think because the driver or something else the flash wasn't right and since then I got a expensive paperweight. Trying to boot in download mode the phone turn on showing a completely white screen for about 3 seconds then the phone turn off and thats is a eternal loop. turn on > white screen > turn off. When the screen is white ODIN and Heimdall recognize the phone but the device simply turn off after seconds so is impossible to flash something.
Today i got a JIG MicroUSB try to boot in Download Mode with it but does not work.
Help I read several threads along XDA but nothing could help by now.
Thanks in advance
I sure hope that you tried flashing some other things using Heimdall or Odin before using your choice of software to flash bootloaders.
In this state you're in, have you tried the battery pull, hold volume buttons, plug in usb, put battery back in, continue holding power button method to enter download mode?
If you can get to download mode this way, you aren't bricked.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
Seems to me you have definitely bricked it :s A bootloader flash is practically the only way our phone can be bricked. That is why it is recommended to flash other things first to make sure odin has no issues with drivers and such
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
Sure I flash another things, and yes I try all the combo buttons to enter in download mode. Nothings happens i can't get into download mode.
In case that I hardbrick my device there is another easy solution.

You may be right, but we don't know for sure that he's bricked yet. We've seen several close calls where the Infuse has made it through - even after a borked bootloader flash.

Yep a lot of times.
You mention that Odin sees the device for a moment before the device loops. As a last ditch effort, you may be able to issue an "adb reboot download" command using adb on your PC. No guarantee that this will work, but it's worth a shot.

You can download what you need for adb from here: http://d-h.st/2mi
Extract the zip package, browse to the unzipped folder where you'll see adb.exe and some other files. Place all of those files in the Windows folder on your C:\\ drive. Then, press the Windows key on your keyboard + R so that the "Run" prompt appears. Type cmd and then press enter. In the command prompt, type this just as Odin sees your device (keep an Odin window open to be sure):
Code:
adb reboot download
The problem is, if both your primary and secondary bootloaders are screwed up, you may never get into download mode. It's worth a shot to try, though.
I agree jscott, I believe there's still hope !
I have managed to rescue my infuse from some dark moments.. once I used this one-click unbrick and I managed to save it.
See if you have my same luck with it
Through ADB Shell was imposible that recognize the device, JAVA One Click works for a moment like Odin but the device desconnected so is not much what i can do. Here post a PIC of what a can reach through ODIN so my question will be if i can make ODIN doesn't check MD5's and flash direct or something similar.

Sorry, but neither Odin or Heimdall will work unless you are able to get the phone into download mode. If it turns out that you really have borked the bootloaders, you won't be able to get into download mode. Someone will have to make a jtag repair like in the video below to restore your phone. The guys in this video are reputable and can fix it.:

Thanks man, yep looks like I screw both bootloaders, unfortunately the guys in the video are in the states but I from Colombia so may be difficult and also expensive send my phone for that fix, anyway today looks like i find someone that could fix my phone using the JTAG cable and box for about USD$50.
Any solution that finallly find to fix my phone i'll be posting here.
Here's a thought have you tried a different USB cable and USB slots. I have 2 phones one likes to connect to front of my PC the other in the back. Plus USB cables get worn out a new one may connect better.

Try taking your battery out for a few hours..or better yet, a day. Charge your battery fully using an external source or use a different fully charged battery, after a day and then try again.

I was flashing a kernel and my cord came loose handbills couldn't get anywhere either. Didn't get white screen just a picture of a phone some dots a triangle more dogs and a computer. I found something called one click unbrick. I know you are a different situation than I am but it's worth a shot maybe.

I have a strange issue with my GS3 Verizon. I was running Clean ROM 4 and then recently wiped it and put Clean Rom 7.0 on it. Everything was working fine until last week it started just powering off randomly. So i'd pull the battery, reboot, and voila, it worked for a while until it randomly powered down again. Today i was thinking maybe it was Clean Rom causing this so I wiped it and installed Wicked Sensations. The problem only worsened. It started powering down like every minute. Now not eve a battery pull will get the phone back on.
Verizon is sending me a replacement, but i have to get this phone unrooted and back to stock so i don't have to pay a 300 dollar fee.
Can anyone PLEASE help me get this done? I have Samsung Drivers and Oden but doesn't recognize this blank screen device...
Thanks

How can I flash when the phone won't even power up? I can't get it to go into recovery or anything right now. Oden doesn't recognize anything either (i'm assuming because there's no power to the device?)

So you can't turn on the phone even with the power plug in? is there any indication where the phone has power, like vibrating, flashing light, sound etc..? I don't think your phone is brick, most likely hardware issue since it's acting up before it die.
Exactly...there is no sign of power whatsoever. Verizon is sending a replacement but i'm worried they'll figure out it's rooted w a custom ROM flashed...so i was hoping to find a way to get unrooted and back to stock before it is sent back to them...
BUT I will say....when i plug the phone into my mac, i get the dialog box from VMWare fusion that asks do you want this device connected to Mac or Windows...but then Oden doesn't see it on Windows side and Android File Transfer won't notice it on mac side...but at least there's recognition that SOMETHING was just plugged in to the machine... hope?

So pretend the screen is dead, boot it into download mode,(hold down the 3 buttons) wait 30 sec, then connect the phone to your pc see if your pc see the phone through Odin.(even though the screen is black).

Are you not putting your device in download mode first? You must first place the phone into download mode yourself. Also make sure those USB ports are USB 2.0. USB 3.0 will cause that exact error your getting as well.

Yup. USB 2.0. Yes, I put the phone in to DL mode before plugging it in. Sometimes it flashes almost all the way then gets as far as checking minios then blue factory reset screen and I'm stuck there due to flashtool failing to read the phone -again-.

Remember it's almost always going to fail after 80%. That's supposed to happen as the reset is just rebooting. Since your getting mini os did you reflash choose board_dl?

No, I used update dl, what flashtool was set at when I installed it.
Edit: And now I cannot get into DL mode anymore. Just a minios thing then a blue screen with the number 2 and 'Factory reset' on it.
Can't do anything otherwise. Stuck there.

Not sure what you mean by madness? That screen is normal you use the vol up and down and power button to choose reset or reboot..

Decided to root my second hand Samsung S8 + but have managed to get stuck on the screen below with not a clue on how to get out of it. I am unable to swipe to unlock.
My first attempt at rooting so please keep any reply's simple as I do not seem very adept at this black art.
I was following this guy. https://galaxys8root.com/galaxy-s8-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s8-or-s8-plus-on-android-8-0-oreo/

you didnt brick it thats for sure, it seems that you got 2 overlays of the twrp (unlock / enable write access) maybe try a reboot into twrp once again

okay so TWRP got a timeout mode just like any android does, after a certain time it goes on a black screen and when turned back on you get the swipe to unlock screen that you are seeing.
Under that lock overlay is your first setup, it asks you to either use twrp in read-only or enable write for it (enabling write makes twrp possible to deny the replacing of TWRP for the default recovery mode)
You should be able to just turn off your s8 and reboot into TWRP
*Note im not responsible for causing a brick, its a unlikely event that will occur but thought to mention it

Holding the power button does absolutely nothing so I have no idea how to turn it off.
Holding the power button and volume down gets me to this screen but the phone does not respond to touching or swiping?

As I mentioned in my first post I am new to this so you just telling me to 'reflash' is pretty meaningless.
So again I ask for more detail?

I am guessing that you mean use Odin to install the TWRP.tar file again? If so nothing happening after clicking start.
Trying to reflash with the correct firmware does zilch also.
My problem with this is after downloading the correct firmware and putting the files in there correct boxes and pressing start the only thing that happens is on the left side Odin box I have File analysis which is correct below that is setupconnection and then nothing seems to be happening.
I am assuming that this is because I am not in download/recovery mode but stuck on the twrp lock screen?

Nope, that just removes the big white padlock for a while.
The power + vol down + bixby is really built into the phone. I've yet to see a situation where that combo won't reboot. How long have you held the buttons? Sometimes it takes 15sec or so. Also, try to see if twrp is giving you ADB access by default and try to reboot that way. Also. Very worst case is you let it die, then when you plug it in do the key combo to get into download mode, flash whatever file you want and keep going.

You sir are a genius as that has worked and I do not understand why as I am sure I have tried that combination before now.
I am now on the Download page what is my next move please?

Not a genius by a long shot, but have felt the despair of having a pricey paper weight on my desk before haha. Well. You can try flashing TWRP again, see if that shakes it out of its little loop. Otherwise, you can flash the original firmware like you were saying earlier just to get back to normal. I'd try flashing twrp again and see if that fixes it first.

Will have one last go at twrp if no joy will hopefully reflash it with stock. Thanks again though I might well be back here.

I don't bother rooting anymore. If I want to rid myself of bloatware, I just flash using the Unlocked no carrier firmware.
Of course this is just my opinion, and I know there are other reasons. But if someone is a real novice, they should probably stay away fro rooting, or risk that pricey paper weight.

That is all that I pretty much want to do. Where do I get the Unlocked no carrier firmware from though surely the stock firmware will be free of carrier bloatware though to be honest I would quite like to get rid of some of the Samsung rubbish also?

First off is your phone unlocked from the carrier? If so you can google and find the firmware for your device. You can also search XDA under Samsung S8+. You will be using ODIN, so you should be familiar with that.
