Hello!
Not sure if here is the correct place to ask this..
I was flashing a new firmware on this device a few days ago and it went wrong at 70%. I am using Multimedia Production Tool and after the error I can't get in ADFU mode anymore and can't even rollback to my backup fw. The program just don't recognize the device and when I plug the USB cable it starts and got stuck on the start screen (images on attachment).
Anyone has this device and has any hints to me? Is there another way to flash the fw to this device?

I've tried a few other forums but haven't got any replies, I guess since the Galaxy 5 isn't such a popular device. I figured if there's anyone who can help me they will be here though.
I wanted to put CWM on it so I could get a CM7 port on. Unfortunately it's just about impossible for it to get detected on USB. I've installed Kies (and even the generic USB drivers found in the SDK). In 2 days I only got it to connect once, and then I went and bricked it.
The one time it finally connected I ran Odin and tried loading CWM onto it. It still hadn't finished after half an hour so I figured it ended with an error that was never displayed. So I unplugged it and as expected - brick! I can get into download (upgrade/firmware) mode so I think it can be fixed if I can get CWM on it (and just install the CM7 port I had originally intended to put on).
Problem is I cannot get the darn thing to connect! to my computer I've tried two separate PCs, one running Window 7 x64 and another running XP x32. Is there a a certain process of connecting things? I haven't ran across anyone making mention of one.
Has anyone else experienced USB problems like this with Samsung phones? Would it even be possible to flash CWM on after it's been bricked like this? When I boot (normally) all I get is an image showing a phone and a PC with and exclamation error connecting the two. Please help!
Try to look for stock firmware on the forum.xda-developers.com and flash via ODIN. You need to be able to put the phone into download mode, so maybe get an USB jig. That should do the trick. Odin has to recognize your phone. First of all right click on the ODIN executable and select "Run as administrator" on windows. Plug the phone in the DL mode and wait until it appears as active in Odin. Then flash the ROM and pit file. (Don't use ODIN one click). If ODIN does not recognize your phone try a different USB port or reinstall Kies. The Kies trick was which I used and it was able to recognize my phone.
Thanks, martin0176. I can still manage to get the phone into download mode - it's getting recognized by a PC that's the problem.
Could you tell me more about the pit file? I only have an ops file.
Try a different cable. I was having the same problem on the Samsung Continuum and it turned out that the cable was working for power, but not for data.
So sad. Just bought this phone. I tried to upgrade to ICS via but used the Galaxy S firmware (gti9000) by mistake...turns out ICS isn't out yet for my phone, the SPHD710. While flashing I managed to upload the "modem" file but when it was writing the file (it says "wait 2 minutes for write") odin froze.
and now..
Here's the situation. The phone will boot into the gti9000 firmware (i.e I get to home screen--so I think I'm semi-bricked), but WiFi won't work and the phone crashes a lot. Basically like a "safe-mode". Here are the conditions I'm dealing with
1) Windows 7 will not recognize phone when plugged in. It charges but does not show up in device manger
2) Odin does not recognize the phone at all. It was recognized for a split second on my laptop when I was installing/reinstalling drivers. Can't replicate this.
So basically I'm stuck. I tried going into recovery mode and applying update from SDcard (to revert to stock) but i the SD card won't mount
Anybody help??? PLEASE. I don't want a $500 paperweight.
I can give as many details as you like.
Thanks so much!
i am loosing it....
i tried every thread about bricked phone - and nothing solved my problem.
it all started when i tried to use th LG FLASH TOOL to upgrade firmware and by mistake i checked "Erase Entire AP" and since than my phone wont turn on.
when i connect the usb cable - i get a notification of OMAP443 but it goes on and off rapidly like it is connecting and disconnecting at the same time - not stable.
i download all drivers, even tried to manual fix the driver with the inf file, but nothing - still unstable.
i also bought a special usb cable that has 56K-130K-910K - i tried all modes but did not get the download mode screen as shown in one of the guides here.
i need to stable the connection between the phone and the pc so i can flash the firmware.
any suggestions ?
please help - anyone :crying:
You have probably used Smartflash,not Lg flashtool.
I can make your phone to stay connected to pc but you won't be able to flash anything
Your phone's cpu is in debug mode now.
Signed bootloaders are needed to recover it with Linux, or a script for omapflash for recovering with windows..

Does it work?
I have a Xperia S running cm 12.1 with unlocked bootloaders TWRP installed and i tried to partition my SD card [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584759] but clearly something went wrong and now the phone wont boot. I made a lot of research and tried everything but all the guides require to be able to boot into flashmode . My phone is dead the only sign of life is a red led when its charging which after some hours of charge will shut off. When the light is off and the phone connected on PC, the PC can recognize the device on unspecified devices (QHSUSB_DLOAD). i have installed all the needed drivers from Sony, google drivers from sdk, and adb drivers(adb wont see the device and i tried everything to do so, but nothing seem to work). I got a market for android on my pc called mobogenie that when i connect the phone it detects that a phone is connected but wont see what phone.The hardware reset buttons work but its useless in the current position. Concluding, the phone is bricked and wont open in fastboot-flashboot-bootloader-TWRP, its recognized as a device but not as "Xperia s" i got all the drivers and i want to flash the original firmware (already downloaded) to fix it. A possible problem is that the partition table is destroyed and after the flash it will hopefully be restored. The problem is not on the hardware but on software. I tried to trigger the download mode with the Samsung way (USB jig, 300k ohm ) but nothing happened as expected. Every solution i found required flash mode which is not accessible at the moment and i tried lots of things to go into fastboot(ever the rubber band trick,remove the battery etc). PLEASE help i dont know what to do, please help me flash it (i already got flashtool, Emma) or anohter solution. Thanks for the help in advance. (its my first thread in the forum, i hope to post it on the right section, i posted it here because i need the assistance of the developers i guess)
Hi,
You've asked in the correct section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-s/help/how-to-unbrick-xperia-s-lt26i-tried-t3265523/
so I'll close this thread.
Hi Guys,
I got a Moto Z from US recently(I live in Asia).One day I was charging my phone.I got uncomfortably hot.So I decided to power off my device and when i restarted it,it got stuck on bootloop.I did try factory resetting my phone and then went to Motorola Service Center.Even though it was under warranty they refused to service it because it is from another country(Even though I agreed to pay $300 they were charging for a MoBo replacement.
After any hope of getting the device up and running,I tried to update the device in fastboot mode.I made the mistake of using an older firmware thereby Hardbricking my device
I did manage to get it to back to life by using this file
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...-to-unbrick-moto-z-hardbricked-t3590133/page2

Step 1: If your PC detect the phone as QUSB_BULK device, install the drivers provided. If it detects it as qualcomm device 9008 or something, then move directly to step 2.
(If your PC is not detecting your phone then try removing the battery and then plugging it back on. Connect to the PC and press the power+volume down button for 2 minutes. Keep trying this this with different USB ports until the PC detects it.)
Step 2: Now extract the blank flash file and run the 'blank-flash.bat' file. Your phone should boot into fastboot now.
Step 3: Now you can flash your stock ROM or any custom ROM. I suggest you flash TWRP and boot into recovery and flash a custom ROM first. And then flash the Stock ROM later if you want to because flashing stock rom is very tricky in Moto devices and you can end up screwing your device even more during the hardbrick phase.(thanks to:manish54 ,benzinerwin)
Then I started to update the stock ROM.But it wont take any gpt.bin(GUID Partition Table) files.
(error)Preflash Validation failed
Without GPT I cant update anything at all.If anyone can help that would be great.
