For those having issues booting into recovery mode... - Vibrant General

I too, had issues at first. I fixed them by a few easy steps.. (well, not so easy to figure out at first.)
1) Uninstall your device drivers for your phone. You can do this in Windows 7 by plugging your device in and going to Control Panel > Hardware > Devices and uninstalling the SAMSUNG_android. Once this is done, unplug it and plug it back in. An attempt to install the drivers will be made and the ADB one will most likely fail. Double click the SAMSUNG_android to bring up the properties for this device. Click the 'Hardware' tab. Click the 'SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface' and hit properties. Then Driver > 'Update Driver'. Then select 'Browse my computer for driver software'
2) Download the drivers here: mediafire.com/?t9koyznu5ryygyt and extract them somewhere. Point the driver installation wizard to these drivers with 'Browse'. Hit 'Next.
Congratulations, your drivers are installed! Have fun rooting your Vibrant. I recommend the one click rooter, although it is just a copy of the update.zip and reboot function.

I guess I'm confused. What do drivers have to do with booting into recovery?
Power off
Hold Down Vol +/- and power at the same time.
Walla you have Recovery
----------------------------------------------------------
If your talking about Download Mode
Install your drivers
Plug in USB to PC, but not phone
Turn off Phone
Hold Vol +/-
Plug in USB to phone
Hold +/- for a second
Release Vol
Walla you are in Download Mode

That wasn't exactly working for me and others. I couldn't get into that mode by holding the buttons. The method I listed above managed to get me into recovery via adb, however.

No luck with odin.

Okay im running windows xp, and i have all those drivers installed...
http://www.userdrivers.com/PDA-Mobil...dows-XP-Vista/
and http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
so what am i missing to get my vibrant to be recognised by odin in download mode????
What are you running currently?
simply honey 3.6..... gingerbread
By chance did you forget to enable usb debugging?
idk, i flashed from a 2.2.1 rom to simply honey 3.6 through rom manager, but i did have it enabled through before i flashed for sure.... And usb debugging is not required for download mode as (i think) thats a whole different thing???
It needs to be enabled to use Odin. Also, sometimes for Odin to see my phone I have to unplug my phone and open Odin a few times before I finally get Odin to see my phone. It's very finicky for me, always has been

Go into windows device manager. Make sure that your computer is even seeing the device and that it has recognized the drivers for it. If it recognizes it, try rebooting computer then restart the process. Also make sure your phone is actually in DOWNLOAD mode. Not Recovery mode.
If you do not know the difference between the two, let us now and we'll assist further.
Happy hacking!
I use to always have trouble with Odin..then one day someone mentioned they always right clicked on Odin and chose "run as Administrator", I have never done that because I figured I was the administrator....but once I did it, never had a problem since.
Another problem I run into (well not anymore) is the USB port I plugged into. If I was on a hub or something it wouldn't work. If I plug right into my computer it works properly.
I also use adb commands to get into download and recovery when I'm Odin'ing. It also let's me know if my phone is detected by the OS.
#adb devices (should show your phone listed)
#adb reboot download (reboots your phone into download mode)
#adb reboot recovery (reboots your phone into recovery mode)
You'll need the SDK installed for adb to work.
Since I started doing these things, I have had ZERO problems with Odin and flashing my phone.
ay.. usb debuging was enabled before i flashed... now if my turn turns on it goee onto a bootloop... so everytime i cinnect my phone to the computer it says device not recognised. ohh and one thing to mention is that my computer doesnt have a highspeed usb port
Three button to download mode - power+vol up+vol down and see if you can get it into download mode then plug in usb (1.0 should work), then run odin...
otherwise i think you're looking at trying to make one of those jigs or replacing your phone...
try
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Afaik the three button combo is for
Recovery mode. Follow the above directions up to the power button part. While holding both volume buttons, it should go directly into download mode when the usb us plugged in
Try removing all drivers then reinstall if xp doesn't pick it up
Beware of angry gingerbread man
power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
Install samsung kies mini. It gives you the correct drivers. I once installed those and it messed it up. So install kies mini.

Fastboot is dead? I can't start fastboot on my device.

I am sure I have properly installed usb driver for my nexus 7, since I have unlocked and rooted my device.
When I reboot my device to bootloader, my PC detected a new device connected, but fail to recognize it.
Also, I can't do anything when I am in fastboot mode, e.g. no effect for pressing power, vol + or vol - button.
Now, I want to return to 4.1.2 stock image, but I cannot do that on fastboot mode.
Any solution/ work arround to save my device??
Looks like drivers got screwy.. Install PDANet and let it install the drivers for your device..
http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
One your drivers are up to snuff and you can access your device when in the bootloader again you can remove PDANet and the usb drivers will stay in place.

I re-installed driver by PDANet, still I can connect Nexus 7 on normal state, but not in bootloader/ fastboot mode.
I am guessing the fastboot is dead and not related to usb driver issue.
Since there is no any response when I am pressing the button. The fastboot mode is hanged.

ADB Drivers not working Windows FIX

The drivers have been tricky with the Amazon Fire to say the least, and this seems to be because windows recognizes the driver as unsigned. To get around this issue, you will need to temporarily enable installation of drivers that are unsigned.
First go to Settings>Update and recovery.
from there click on advanced startup.
Your PC should say "please wait" then pull up a menu.
In this menu click on "troubleshoot" then click "start up settings"
Your PC will now restart
The PC will now boot into Startup Settings. Click 7 on your keyboard to disable driver enforcement then hit enter.
Your PC will restart once more.
Now your fire drivers should install as they are intended. Allowing installation of unsigned drivers can be a security risk, so once you have completed this process and installed the drivers reboot your PC and windows will automatically turn Driver Signature Verification on once again.
its smart to uninstall the fire drivers and reinstall them using the driver signature mode to make sure theyre installed correctly.
its also worth noting that in my case, the device needed a different driver from the downloaded for each mode (normal/on, fastboot, sideload), there is another thread on here for this but Ill add it here just in case someone else stumbles upon this first.
when installing the drivers in device signature mode, youll want to put the device in all 3 states while in signature mode to make sure you dont run into any problems trying to return the device to stock or moving on from fastboot etc. ( i did this, it was scary..)
1. when installing the drivers in signature mode youll come across 3 different drivers to choose from, the first driver "android ABD interface" is for when the device is in normal/on mode.
2. youll need to next boot the device into fastboot mode, i used the rootjunky amazon fire supertool and booted the device to fastboot, then disconnect and reconnected it to my pc and chose the second adb usb driver "android bootloader interface"
2. after installing that driver disconnect the device from the computer and power it down. power the device into the recovery mode by shutting it down then holding volume down and power (when holding the device in portrait orientation the volume down button is the one to the left) and navigate to the option that requires you to connect your device to a PC to load software (sorry i cant remember what option it is) it will say something like its waiting for a connection, connect the device to the PC and install the final driver "android composite ADB interface" now every facet of operation should have a driver, reboot your PC out of driver signature mode and if you were in the same boat as me, you should be able to sideload back to the android os, and flash roms or whatever else.

MSM8994DownloadTool.exe Won't Work For My OPT

MSM8994DownloadTool.exe Won't Work For Me
I need help.
My phone is stuck on the fastboot screen, meaning I can only Power if off and into Fastboot (using the Vol+ and Power buttons). Other than that, it does nothing. I cannot get into the OS at all, which means I can't enable USB debugging or anything. Fastboot recognizes my device, which is a OnePlus Two), but ADB won't, nor will my Windows 7 PC as a USB device. With that in mind, I followed all the steps in the posted guide. I get all the way to running the "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe" and nothing happens. Its as if the Recovery Tool doesn't even see my device. So, I'm really stuck and don't know what to do.
For clarity, here's exactly what I did (see below). I get all the way to Section B, Step 2 and that's where it breaks down. There's no different line, and no process ever runs, even after waiting 30 minutes. I ran the tool as Administrator, but still no luck. Can anyone help me? Just as additional info, my Mac also does not recognize my OPT as a USB device. Also, I tried my backup USB-C cable from the OEM, with the same results.
A. Install the Certificates followed by the Qualcomm drivers.
1. Restart your computer with Driver Signature Enforcement Disabled (Advanced Startup) Let me Google it For You
2. Open the folder "qc" and install the Test Certificate in the following Stores: Trusted Root, Trusted Publisher, Third-Party Root and Personal
3. Run the Qualcomm setup wizard (also located in the qc folder)
4. When completed, restart your PC again with Driver Signature Enforcement Disabled (Advanced Startup)
5. Turn off your phone and disconnect the USB cable from the phone.
6. Hold vol-up and plug in the USB(Do not press Power button). The screen will stay black but you will hear a sound from windows that a device is attached.
7. The driver should now automatically install. If not, go to device manager and right click "Unknown Device" and click "Update Driver" Search up the QC folder and press ok. The driver should now install. (Got the RELINK issue? Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=46)
B. Flashing Process
1. Open the OnePlus2_14_A.11_151211 folder and open "MSM8994DownloadTool.exe"
2. Look if your phone is detected in the list. everything is Chinese but you will see one row with different chinese text from the rest within the list. If not, recheck if driver is detected in Device Manager (If not, go back to Step A - Line 4).
I think you have a bad download, try downloading it again and download the 3.0.2 version if you can.

I've bricked my op2 a while ago. I'm a real noob so I don't know if it will work but have you installed the adb mac drivers or try "fastboot continue" while in fastboot. Just don't give up and keep try. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Thank you very much. I have the latest version, but still nothing. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but my OPT wasn't being recognized as a USB device even before I screwed up.

I'm guessing it is just hard-bricked since I have no other way (besides USB) to interface with the device.

Try connecting your OPT to some other guys pc and see, it may be because of your pc's end that its not getting connected.
And if the same thing happens with a different pc then yeah your usb port or something is fried. Try going to service center if the same thing happens again.

- You have it Your phone is switched off
(Let it reboot once after that don't leave the power button and after that led will get off for small time this is the time you have to remove finger from power button this is tricky )

Update: Deep flash using Deep Flash Cable And Procedure to make a deep flash cable
Cut the outer rubber and metal covering of usb cable.
Strip a small portion of the black and green wires carefully preferably using a needle to avoid the copper wires to be torn.
Then plug the usb jack into the pc and phone and keep mi flash tool open.
Then touch both the wires(shortcircuit the green and black) using a needle or blunt edge of knief for about 4-5 sec and then remove.
The phone must be in 9008 mode now with COM port open in miflash tool
Now Flash To Your Hearts Content!
After flashing carefully cover the cut portion by putting the rubber casing first and then covering with electrical tape.
So be careful not to tear anything you just need to precisely cut the covering (around 0.5 cm) in the shape of a ring
Happy Flashing!

Update: For saving your user data if your phone gets bricked by bootloader getting locked ONLY follow the below guide
How To-
1. How to switch it off
-firstly this is happening because you have locked you're bootloader
- You have black screen and led on so just hold power button then Zuk logo will be flash after that you will get black screen again and again the phone was preparing to reboot but before that the led will get turn off immediately release power button
- You have it Your phone is switched off
(Let it reboot once after that don't leave the power button and after that led will get off for small time this is the time you have to remove finger from power button this is tricky )

Update: Deep flash using Deep Flash Cable And Procedure to make a deep flash cable
Cut the outer rubber and metal covering of usb cable.
Strip a small portion of the black and green wires carefully preferably using a needle to avoid the copper wires to be torn.
Then plug the usb jack into the pc and phone and keep mi flash tool open.
Then touch both the wires(shortcircuit the green and black) using a needle or blunt edge of knief for about 4-5 sec and then remove.
The phone must be in 9008 mode now with COM port open in miflash tool
Now Flash To Your Hearts Content!
After flashing carefully cover the cut portion by putting the rubber casing first and then covering with electrical tape.
So be careful not to tear anything you just need to precisely cut the covering (around 0.5 cm) in the shape of a ring
Happy Flashing!

Zuk Z2 Pro Stuck in EDL HS-USB 9008 Port and automatically connecting and disconnect
Hi,
My Zuk Z2 Pro is stuck in EDL 9008 Port. Phone is totally bricked and no sound, no light, no vibration. When i connect with the computer, phone is connecting on HS USB 9008 port and get disconnected after 20-22 seconds and again automatically connected with in half second time.
I am facing this issue after flashing a ZUI 1.9 by using a QPAST/QFIL application. I think i have made stupid mistake by flashing a phone with "ERASE ALL BEFORE DOWNLOAD" option.
I have tried every scenario to get stable this 9008 port but no luck. Since last 5 days i am studying forums and applying every kind of solution but same result.
I am writing this post with high expectations and hope someone will take notice and help me to get rid of this problem.
I can pay through paypal if someone wants to provide professional services to resolve this matter
I will appreciate if someone have any idea and can help me. Thanks

You need to completely poweoff the phone (difficult in hard brick actually) before this procedure i have forgotten the way to do it, was given on zuk.eu i think, dont worry it may take time but these days hard bricks is repairable too.

What do you mean by perfect timing?!?
Never mind. Got my laptop to recognise it and flashed successfully.
Don't know what made it to change its mind!?
What happened?
- was trying to flash and cable got disconnected by accident.
- my phone started to vibrate and blink at the same time for every 30 sec(no zuk logo nothing) and can't seems to be stopped.
- laptop doesn't seems to recognise when device gets connected (no 900e or 9008 port shows up at device manager)
What I did?
- Reinstalled my windows (no problem for me as I only keep system files on partition c)
- Disabled driver verification (windows 10 thing)
- Installed zuk driver, adb , mi tools inside partition c(all inside a folder called zuk)
- used cable that came with phone instead of 3rd party to deep flash

PC is not detecting my device now, but earlier I unlocked bootloader and flashed tw recovery, but I wasn't able to boot to it, and on qpst, my phone is detected as Diagnostic Port 900E.
