Dear all,
I have only recently lost my IMEI und tried everything to recover it. As a matter of fact I had made a backup before and tried to restore it and it didn't work. Today, I tried doing that another time and after that I wanted to reboot my phone but after it shut down it just doesn't boot up anymore. It shows nothing, only the black screen. It seems like it doesn't react to anything, I also tried to pull the battery but that also wasn't successful. I also can't get into Download Mode.
Any ideas what I could do?
Charge the battery or try another battery first .
I did both, I charged the battery but it didn't help and I also tried another (fully charged) battery, without success.
try to connect with kies 3
Kies doesn't recognize my phone.
Service centre repair your next step .
I'll let my carrier send it to Samsung and tell them that it crashed after trying to update to Lollipop via Kies, I read that this worked in some cases. If it doesn't I'll have to have it repaired.
What do you guys think about those "USB jigs"? Do you think those could help me with my problem?
YAAAAY!
Thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625332 I was able to unbrick my device and by flashing a new PIT-File and a Stock ROM even my IMEI came back. I think my partition was somehow messed up because after flashing the PIT-File it began to work properly, but I flashed the Stock ROM to have a "clean" system again and installed Cyanogenmod afterwards with success.
So how does this fix work if the phone is unable to connect or power on ..
OP yes try the usb recovery jig to see if it boots to download mode .
Well, it did help. After I had put the Image on my SDcard and removed my SIM card I was able to boot my phone, this was the main issue. The rest was child's play, I flashed the PIT-file and a stock ROM and everything was working fine again.
flash new PIT file

stock ROM
I have never been able to find a stock ROM for Blu devices. I tried finding one for my Blu Studio 5.5s and Bluproducts Support says you must mail your phone to the repair center, that they will not supply ROMs for their phones. Sad situation.
Also it's too late to warn you but anytime you connect a USB device that is known to work, even a little bit, when WIndows says that something needs formatting, NEVER do it, it usually means that there is a problem communicating that Windows believes is an unformatted memory card. This is hardly ever the case.
I guess we are on our own with these Blu phones until either they either take off in popularity and we see more recovery tools or they quite making them and after we have bricked them all due to lack of recovery tools.
Blu Factory Default Recovery for BLU 5.0 2/ 5.5s
Hello BLU User of 5.0 2/ 5.5s
Okay the first thing I will say " DO NOT..... I REPEAT.... DO NOT USE ANY Version OF AIO FLASHER "
because the program is a real B.S flasher.... 1. it hangs like crazy
2. their is no progress bar/ status bar
3. the only real thing that works is backup
4. all partition on drive is NOT PROTECTED
Meaning all partition will be erased if you f-up
hit yes when you should have press NO..
now with all that said both phone are great 5.0 2/ 5.5s
I Already Brick the crap out of Blu 5.0 2, Now I have the Blu 5.5s
All I want to do is Drop CWM on it..... to no avail..
I Can tell you this....... I manage to f-up the stock default recovery
so now there is no default recovery for on a brand new phone
I got it rooted no prob... all of my backup come without default
recovery..
the Question is how can i recreate the default recovery partition
on main system memory card or would it be possible to create that
partition on my 64G SDCARD Via the Computer ?
Edit:
Fixed: Reflash Preloader / EMI from original ROM - Boot into Factory menu (Not Recovery) Turn off the phone.
Start SPFlashTool - Select Scatter.txt (Make sure its Scatter from the Original ROM) - Flash Original FULL Rom - Reflash Boot/Recovery/Pre Entire ROM -
Adb Install Update
Done!
---------------------------
I have managed to brick the Blu Studio X today using SPFlashTool.
EMI Obtain DRAM Fail.
This started when I replaced Factory recovery with CWM which turned out to be even worst than Factory. I got it Rooted without issue but in an effort to Flash back to Stock Recovery, I was unsuccessful.
The phone is detected by the PC now but I cannot do anything. The battery is integrated also.
What I need is the entire Blu Stock ROM including the Preloader. Without this, I cannot Unbrick it. Any help or ideas would be great.
Very urgent please, how do I get into bootloader (factory menu) without going through recovery? My D830u is in a Blu logo boot loop without recovery or anything. I need fastboot mode
Hello All,
I Hard bricked my N9005 while downgrading form Stock 5.0 to stock N9005VJUBMI7 (4.3 ?).
Note 3 N9005 32GB .. was working well on Android 5.0, except GPS issue and battery drain issue. So, I thought will go back to older stock ROM.
While flashing N9005VJUBMI7 (from Sammobile ) on Odin, without any PIt file and Re-partition unchecked. Odin flash completed and it said successful.
But, after this, phone never booted. Power button doesn't work. Download mode keys won't work. Recovery mode keys won't work. Charger doesn't work. USB doesn't detect on PC. LED never lit. Is this state called HARD-BRICKED? Or its a step ahead and completely dead ?!
I tried the debrick.img on SD card method using the thread by ValenteL. Followed below steps:
On Windows 7, used win32DiskImager, and created the rescue micros SD card (16GB) using debrick image of 4.4.2. Inserted SD card on phone, put battery and tried to see if phone boots. Unfortunately, it didn't Tried to play around with all keys, long press for 30 secs, usb cable, charger.. etc. But, still no luck.
Please let me know if any suggestions to bring the device back alive!
Thanks in advance !!

Sorry, my phone is too adamant. It won't go to download mode. All I want is to get it into download mode! Would jig help? What you think? Spend some 3$ on eBay?
Worth a try with the jig before paying for a service centre repair .

Tried the ebay JIG.. No luck. Note 3 still not up..
JIG is good.. ensured with other (working) Samsung phone. It puts into download mode, but not to my Note 3
I rooted my mobile which worked perfectly, after the initial reboot after rooting. the mobile will not boot since the battery died tho it just goes to a pink static screen after the logo.
It wont let me boot into recovery but i can still boot into download, however now Odin will not see my mobile and i have tried all the drivers uninstalling and re installing to no avail.
Tried several Pc's and new USB cables!

Update
So after brute force restarting into download mode several times i was able to get Odin to detect my mobile, however the sm-a310 failed, i then used the old root file which let me back into my phone, but again after 1 restart im back at square one so all is not lost ... its defo soft bricked and i can gain access very rarely but i don't know where to go from here.

You`ve to flash the Stock firmware through Odin, then do a Factory Reset.
After successful booting , then you try to root it again.
Got to Sammobile website and download any unbranded Firmware perfect for your device and flash through Odin in Download Mode.
BTW, how you rooted your device ?
And Make sure to check your device`s Battery level before doing any thing.
Hello,
i have a problem with my 1 week old yotaphone and hope you guys can help me to solve.
Let me say, this is my first android device. After a long time using iphones i saw this 2-displays concept and wanted to give it a try.
But now my problem and the way to:
The phone was brand new and first of all i charged it for a wohle night.
After that i put in the sim-card and started the phone and walked through the start-procedure with WLAN, Googleaccount etc.
Then the phone told me about an update and i started it over WLAN.
The phone was downloading, rebooting and shows me a white window "updating x of 127(?) Apps".
Somewhere in the middel the phone rebooted again and now its in a bootloop.
What is possible with the phone right now.
I can start the phone wit the bootloop (powerred byAndroid, then restart)
I can use "Power + Vol-" to bring it into downloading mode
When i use "Power + Vol+" nothing happend.
When i use "Vol+ + Vol-" nothing happend.
The akku of the phone is empty now and it only works with usb or power unit connected.
In bootloop or downloading mode it is not charging.
What i tried.
What i try:
I read many topics with bricked / bootlooped yotphones and how to flash or cache whipping.
i connected the phone to my pc and used yotoflasher with many different firmwares.
I used fastboot:
- flashed the system.ing with differnet sizes.
- tried different custom recovery.img from different threads here and from other sites.
Even a complete new image, moddified RU img doesn`t help.
The phone stays in bootloop.
Yes, it`s a warranty case, but before i start to strech my nerves by handling with the dealer and shipping
this phone back to china i will try everything else and hope you can help me out of this situation.
Thanks a lot

If your phone displays Downloading... and fastboot keeps saying waiting for device then there is something wrong with the installed ADB driver. Check some of the posts in this forum like this one on how to fix this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/yotaphone-2-yd-206-china-flash-firmware-t3306797/post69311402#post69311402
Strange that you had an OTA (Over The Air update). You didn't do anything between the SIM/Google registration and OTA ?
Normally there are no OTAs allowed on yd206 phones bought from China/HK , where did you buy it ? Chinese retailers have their own firmware that they put on phones , for me , maybe you had bad firmware installed.
The warranty of your phone is voided if you flash yotaphones bought from China and HK .
When you use yotaflasher do you get error message or "waiting for device" ?
To flash the Yotaphone , it should be in developer mode , but you couldn't put it in this mode because it first did the OTA that started your bootloop. Android apps are updated like that ("installing x of 127") when it gets updated to lollipop. Normally the OTA should have worked OK. Did you allow enough time at the Yotaphone logo after the first reboot ? It stays on this logo for 5 minutes before starting. I made this mistake.
The OTA started just after you set up Google etc ?
If so, normal yotaflashing will never work, but at least you havent broken the warranty . The thing we need to know is what exactly happened when you tried to flash , what errors messages appeared ?
If you did not put the phone in developer mode, then you cannot easily flash the phone, so your best possibility is to return the phone. Normally you can contact the seller by chat or email . Some are very good in exchanging.
It IS possible to flash your phone using fastboot, but I would not personally attempt it and you would lose your warranty . You need rootkits, SDK toolkits, universal drivers and images. Google "bootloop without USB debugging".
When I flashed my yd206 , (after many attempts) I flashed my yd206 to yd201 Russian KitKat ROM first and then did an OTA to lollipop.
I just bought a BNIB Note 3.
Samsung Note 3: SM-N900W8
Symptoms: Won't turn on, no lights, no load screen, no recovery mode, no download mode.
When I hook the phone up to the PC via USB it does vibrate and sounds the connection ringtone
What I was doing when this happened:
I had just recently rooted using "KINGRoot" - checked root and it was successful
I installed "TWRP" and booted into recovery mode and it was a success as well(I didn't actually run here yet)
***I installed and opened "Flashfire" to Flash the LINEAGE OS to my Rom buuut I didn't actually select the Lineage pack and I accidently pressed FLash(insert expletive here) *****
So Flashfire went through it's loading and when it was done it shut off and then the symptoms started.
It's a Note3 from Bell with all of their bloatware on it and I wanted to clean it all off and run a clean/efficient Note 3 cell with Rogers. I'm not looking to keep any of the data currently on the phone as there isn't anything currently on it. I just want to be able to install Lineage and use my Note.
I've searched for 30 hours pretty solid so far and unfortunately I haven't come across a clear solution. Can anyone give me a diagnosis and a tutorial or a link to a fix.
I'm open to loading from MicroSD, USB Jig, Samsung Kies....anymore information you require from me as away and I'll get back ASAP

I tried the battery in another Note3 and my battery is 52% charged and had no issues booting the tester phone.
I have the phone being tested for any Hardware issues right now.
If it's not a hardware issue will I be able to force a Rom(whether OEM Firmware or other) to install via MicroSD or USB jig?
When the phone is connected to a Windows machine, does a new device appear in device manager?
Have you tried to force it into download mode with a USB jig?
For flashing ROMs to the sm-n900w8, the simplest method is to flash TWRP, boot to TWRP, wipe everything, and flash the desired ROM.
If nothing works, you could take it to a cell repair shop and hopefully have it repaired with a jtag cable or a similar method.

No, the PC doesn't see the phone.
The USB jig or MicroSD force is something I'm researching to try next(feel free to provide any good links to set up a jig(I've done this with Ubuntu on my laptop but this has a more intimidating feel to it)). The Tech at the shop I took it to test the hardware says "the motherboard" is broken and he'll fix it for $60.
For future considerations I'll learn to use TWRP flashing ROMs.
If the shop is offering to fix it for $60, they may be just force-flashing the firmware with something like an Octopusbox.
The USB jig may force the phone into download. If it doesn't, I don't think you'll have a choice but to pay to have it flashed. Unfortunately, Samsung will not help as rooting would trip the knox counter.
USB jig ebay are the usual cheap source.
