Hey so I just tried to edit the logo.jpg file in the PARAM partition on my galaxy s6 .
But I think I used an image that was too large (both in file size and in actual size).
The last command completed without errors so I rebooted my phone and now it just black screens on boot.
I can get the charging icon if it's plugged in while off but if I try to power it on I just get a black screen and , ocasionally (I don't know why) I get a glitched version of the image a flashed.
I cannot access recovery mode or download mode as they are giving me a black screen too.
The phone just stays in the black screen and leaving it does not make it progress to android or anything else.
Is it fixable by any mean or did I brick it for good ?
It should go to download mode if you only change logo.jpg.
Try press volume down + home (press hard) + power for 10 seconds.
If you cant go into download mode, you cant do anything to fix this.

I tried to put in the mod for the circle battery and the evo black bar on top of just having the circle battery in already.. minus the black bar mod. I went to update it from recovery mode, it turns on with the ATT and the Galaxy S screen... then just goes black. Not sure what to really do about this other then messing with any more mods after this.
I tried Recovery Mode and deleting everything and then rebooting it... it did nothing.
this happened to me too... 3 times actually.
Not really sure what causes the problem, but at this point you're gonna have to reflash the firmware. Use the Odin oneclick downloader to reflash to stock, then odin v1.0 to flash to what ever firmware you had on before.
In order to do this, you have to put your phone into recovery mode. First open up odin one click downloader. Next, hold the volume up and down button (if your on the i9000 firmware, just hold down the down volume button) and insert the usb. after a few seconds, a new screen should pop up saying it's in download mode. (the screen should say "download, do not turn off target!!!") then hit start on odin.
When you do the black bar/battery update, make sure you re-download it, put it into your sdcard, then rename it. DO NOT reinstall an update that you've already installed. this will also screw up the firmware.
download mode was a bit trickery for me to get into.....
here are my steps...
Open Odin3 and get the pit file and pda tar file inputted.
then plug your phone into usb.
turn on the phone to just the charging graphic...
from there hold the vol up nad vol down buttons and then hold the power button.
The graphic should disappear, let go of power when screen goes black and then it should go into "download mode"
it took me over 2 hours the other night to get into download mode.
Well I got it into Download mode and on Odin it's saying File analysis and do not turn off target... so I guess that means it's working?
Well I think I just bricked it for good now. I had it in download mode, it started to reset everything and the screen turned green for a little while, I thought something was wrong when that happened so I just took the battery out again to turn it off... now it won't even turn back on.
So the phone is still pretty new, not much was installed on it at all except Root/SuperUser. There were a few other apps but they are just games. What happen is I did the RyanZa LagFix mod by Tayutama and at first I couldn't put the phone into recovery mode. Later I found out that I had a newer batch of the Samsung Vibrant where the volume up + volume down + power function has been disable by Tmobile so I had to try another method to get into recovery mode. What I did was I use abd/androidSDK to get my phone to reboot into recovery mode and followed all the instruction for the RyanZa Lag Fix . So the installation of packages works and the phone booted up. Then I went into MRC Script to proceed to the next step. Here is where I had the problem . The phone took a really really long time to create the 1gb file to extract file and then it ran a long list and kept going back to "creating a 1GB storage file" over and over again. So i just thought i'll leave it alone to do its thing. The process took so long and then it froze.... I had no choice but to restart it. When restarting, all i get is the vibrant screen, then I hear the sound to the Galaxy S screen but I don't see the Galaxy S screen . After that the screen is totally blank and dark, the 4 sensitive touch button still lights up though. After all the light went out, if I touch the screen the sensitive touch buttons still lights up again but nothing on the screen or sounds. I guessing that my phone got Bricked! I looked all over for help to recover my phone because I see some users did it using ODIN. However, I can't use ODIN because I cant put my phone into download or recovery mode since Tmobile took out the fuction of "holding volume up +volume down then press power" to get into recovery or download mode. The only way I could got in before was through adb/SDK but now that doesn't work because the phone isn't booting up. Is there anyways I can solve this issue or is my phone totally dead? =( please help if anyone know how or had similar issue. I've done this with my brother's Vibrant later and it works fine for him because his Vibrant is the older batch with the "volume up +volume down +power" function still enable. Much appreciation to all the help I can get from everyone. Thank you!!!
Methods I've tried to get the phone into recovery/download mode:
1. take battery out, plug usb in, put battery back in hold up (also tried down) and then press power.
2. I've tried volume up + volume down + power wait for vibrant logo to flash 1 time (also tried 2 flash and 3 flash).
3. I've tried the same methods above and holding it for a long time as well.
I did all the above methods when the phone is off so the only thing that it did for me was flashing the vibrant screen once, then the battery show up with a spinning waiting sign... It didn't put my phone into any type of special mode at all. I hope some of this information would help most of you get an idea where my phone situation is at. =(
have the same problem
someone please help! very much appreciated
Similar issues... I can only enter the "Vibrant Samsung" screen...
Press Volume up + Volume down + power, the logo just blinks, no recovery mode.
I also tired what others said, like plug the usb, open Kies, still can not enter recovery mode.

As soon as ur phone boot up ur computer should make a sound that its connect to ur phone ....than type
cd/
cd /AndroidSDK/tools
same situation!!
zzzzomg i'm stuck in the same exact situation!! please help!!
i was following a step by step instructional video for fixing lag on youtube and i went thru the steps just fine. but then decided to re-do the process because i thought I missed a step....so when i went to MCR to run the lag fix and waited for the 1g thing to be made, my screen locked out (after 30 seconds) then it wouldn't load up the screen. So I took out the battery and rebooted my phone, and it gets stuck at the vibrant S screen. AHHHHH Please help!!
Insert battery, Plug in usb, vol up + power. Took me straight to download mode
I really need help with this two. My phone goes into the S logo than goes black and the 4 lights come up on the bottom. Please Help someone
I had the same problem, solved it by booting into samsung recovery and wiping user data, new it was voodoo and I couldn't get into the phone to disable lagfix, wiped user data and voodoo noticed upon reboot with Linda narrating the redo of the lagfix. Btw I did it to myself by battery pull, the first start takes an amazingly long amount of time.

If you can not trigger the download mode and have the [ Phone < ! > Computer ] picture on your screen, the phone is bricked!
I tried the resistor trick, that did not trigger the download mode.

Download wkpark 1.25a custom uboot/xloader
Connect phone to pc without battery
Omap device should appear but disconnects few second
Install omap drivers located on wkpark 1.25 folder
Open wkpark startfastboot.bat
Connect phone without battery
Choose #6
You have to insert battery within 5 secs given time
Your phone should have silver lg logo with fastboot on top
Try to have cwm/twrp or

Instead it will only give you a stock bootloader
There are 2 download mode image
1. Green arrow
2. Silver arrow
Download kdz_upd_fw
Download a stock v30_00.kdz fw file
flash it using kdz firmware updgrade
I use to pc just to recover this phone
While i was trying to install the latest official rom to my device (The new Padfone Infinity A86 T004) it is bricked, Now i am facing a very bad (miserable) situation.
When turning on the device it shows me the ASUS logo and in top of the screen a message says : ERROR: Can not boot Invalid boot image!!
And my big problem is that i can't access any of ADB, recovery mode or even fastboot. the phone is undetectable by my PC at all.
I don't know how to force fastboot ... if i can reach the beautiful fastboot mode i will be able to handle the next steps in the fixing journey.
I have red that as long as the device shows something it means that it is not totally bricked .. but how to get out of this situation?
Any suggestions ?
Sorry my englsih is´nt good.
So you can´t broken your phone with OTA Updates
You can delet all files and sysfile and the asus isn´t broken.
you just need patience.
make sure you have the correct driver
turn off your phone,
press vloume up and power, so the phone stay with boot logo, so you are in the fastboot mode.
there you can use my exploit btw the howto downgrade A86, but the downgrade dosent works.
so unzip the newest rom .zip out of asus page....
copy the boot.img and recovery.img in your minimal fast adb folder
so you can:
c:\ADB>fastboot -w ( really wipe all partions and data of your phone!)
c:\ADB\fastboot flash boot boot.img
c:\ADB>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
copy the complete OTA Update Zip on your phone (internal sd or external is matter)
reboot phone and install the zip out of recovery.
there may be errors come to the first, if that should be the case
then repeat the case up to 3 times
I hope you can read and understand it .
if you need further assistance , please contact me at any time , like even on my homepage lange23.de

Thank you for your help.
The issue is that the phone now is not detected by the pc at all , i can not access the fast boot ...
Do you really pressed Volume up and Power at the same time, if startet???
If the phone during normal start at the stops bootlogo that's not fastboot!!!
Turn really off an than hold volume up an press Powerbutton, hold it up to boot logo.
then you are really in fastboot mode!

after turning off
when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button => and after 1 second an error appears ERROR: Can not load Invalid boot image!!
when pressing power button + volume down button a menu appears with two options 1.Enter recovery mode and 2.Exit update mode.
when choosing option 1 , the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears without the previous error message.
when choosing option 2 , the the menu disappeared and the asus logo appears and the previous error message.
all these cases the phone didn't go to fastboot mode and never detected by the pc.
when i press volume up + power button the phone vibrates and the asus logo displayed. then i release power button and keep pressing volume up button don´t keep pressing volume up,
fasboot mode only power & up, until the logo. Pressing this two to logo and then left them. the logo sty tuned in display so you re in fastboot
if you pressing up too jump in question menü,
if you pressing at startup power & down jumped directly into question menü, but this menü is wrong for you. you need only fastboot nothing more

Yes, no recovery
And yes PC does not find any new devices
I can not understand it...
I once the boot.img deleted in the phone and also get such error message .
but my systems find an Android device and i can use the fastboot
Any way , a good news that the phone was only few days out of its package and i managed to return it back to the seller and will send to me a new one.
But i am really disappointed with ASUS not to make any unlock tool for the new padfone infinity.
Once, i believed that as long as there is no physical damage in the phone, there will be always a way around to fix it by fastboot. but it discovered that it is not correct and the fast boot itself can be damaged..
Any way thank you so much the only man helped me here sinus23.
I got this problem too
Me too
I got this problem
guys you got to do this , i am having yureka plus5510a no fastboot no recovery
bros no recovery no fastboot boot loop tried all combination not charging nothing what you think you guys are genius give me some let me tell you the whole thing how i ended here .. its all started with the king root(worst decision ) i wanted to flash twrp in my yu yureka plus 5510a no idead what " A" stands for then i used flashify from playstore and downloaded the twrp by the official twrp and flashed it with the flashify and boom boot stuck with no recovery some how removing battery and connecting the phone goes to the charging disp from where i did enable the fast boot but cmd was not able to identify adb devices nor the flashboot commands were working so i did same with win 10 powershell but nothing no devices , so i decided to use a method of ygdp , much hopes with this used ***** 5.1.153.00.P0.160604.8675_I02.def.CPB ******* dont know where the log file is but it was showing old bootloader error downloading and error and error and terminated at 2 % , then this one of your thread by unziping the official files and clicking on flash-all.bat file which he provided img(1) "some trials your phone will be all right " i tried with some "waiting devices error " message but then it just started something happened oem unlock blah_blah and then successful , tried to boot again but this time phone was automatically jumping into fastboot mode , then i finally tried one last time in that power shell thing by typing using cmd and applied fastboot code , even no devices was showing in powershell ,, but then i used some different code something like "fastboot ix902 recovery " and i was able to install a real old twrp recovery.. phone was showing the cyanogen loading ....but later after 1 hour i felt its stuck = + = but luckily recovery was working but but dont know why the buttons setup used to go in fastboot mode was now taking me in recovery,, and fastboot was no longer acessable , i was fine with it so i downloaded latest recovery from your respected thread file named as " twrp-3.0.2-0-20160604-UNOFFICIAL-tomato.img " i wanted to install nougat aosp so i thought its a nice idea to update the recovery first i. so i did the normal recovery update from the recovery it self , and now i guess that recovery was so old , the new one was kinda mindblower for the older one and booom no recovery , no fastboot , tried all the combination and came up with this one volume+ vol- and power shown img (2) same as boot logo but a small "official" tag

If the word "Samsung" is slowly flashing with LED light then leave it, it will start in around 5 minutes.
If this does not happen then you will need to boot into system recovery and wipe/factory reset, then reboot and wait.
To force reboot to recovery:
1. press and hold ...volume down + home + power until the phone goes off
2. as soon as the screen goes black press and hold volume up + home + power until it reboots to recovery
3. choose wipe/factory reset, then choose reboot and wait.
