This Thread Is For Them Who Bricked There Phones
Don't start a new thread for your bricked phone & post here.
We will help you with every possible solutions.
Here are some quick tips :
(Here I'll use the terms like Download-Mode & Recovery-Mode, If you dont know what are they please click here. There "BOOT to RECOVERY" & "BOOT to BOOTLOADER" means how to enter into Recovery-Mode & Download-Mode respectively.)
A Bricked Phone May Have One or More (Below Problems) :
1. Booting to the ROM(Android) not possible.
2. Booting to the Recovery-Mode not possible.
3. Black screen or Bootloop(Repeated Restarting of Phone at Boot Animation or Samsung Galaxy Y Logo).
Possible Solutions :
(Remember there'll be data loss using these solutions so always try to keep a backup)
1. If you can still enter into Recovery-Mode
(a). Try to clear Data & Cache then check.
(b). Try Installing a Custom ROM using CWM(ClockWorkMod Recovery) & check.
(For Custom ROM & CWM Visit here.)
2. If Recovery-Mode didn't helped Enter into Download-Mode & flash an odin supported stock rom(using ODIN 1.84 or 1.85) from Doky73's Thread(Flashing Guide in 2nd post).
*You can inform me, if anything left out.
Note :
1. I'll be not held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
2. Before posting try to search for similar type problems out there & try the solution, if that doesn't solve your problem then post here.
Make this a sticky.. there are many users who say that their phone is bricked
help! bricked SGY
galaxy y bricked
i bricked my sgy last 3 weeks.
here's what i did.
-installed creedsix rom.
-installed UOT kitchen Themes.
-wipe data
problem
-stuck in bootlogo
-softbricked.
-cant go to recovery mode
-flashed too many times, still stuck in bootloop
i flashed at least 20 times, with different firmwares.
but still no luck, still boot lop.
my professor said something about secondary bootloader that might help. but i had definitely no idea what it is.
i asked some techies on the mall, and they said that this phone must undergo the JTAG process. but it cost $20.
help me. thanks.

can you go to download mode??
(try pressing volume down+ home button + power button all at the same time)
if it still can, then your SGY is still good
go to this ---> thread
and just flash your country's firmware
From where you got the firmwares.... How you flashed...
Ever tried re partitioning.... Ever flashed boot loader....
For info... Jtag or boundary-scan is used for testing & servicing high technology electronic boards...

just for info, jtag will not fix the problem. IT IS SCANNING.. like trouble shooting.
that only means that those technicians are pretending to be well educated but the truth is that they only wanted to get some cash out of your pocket.

this one will a little bit off topic...what is creedsix?is it a rom for SGY?
if the phone still can boot that means everything is fine. pull out the battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert the battery, do three magic combo button, you'll enter recovery mode. don't worry about our bootloader. our bootloader is stored in different partition thus installing any custom rom won't affect our bootloader. as far as i know, there is only one person who have messed up with bootloader and got an ultimate hard brick.

a hard brick is when our device doesn't respond to power button.
the guy that I've mentioned above is doky73. he accidentally flash a bootloader for sgs2 into his sgy. last time he said that he send his sgy to samsung service center and buy a new one. I'm not sure if samsung has revived his sgy.
edit: I didn't to offend him but I think I've mispelled doky's username. edited.

whatever It may be... You should never mess up with bootloaders, if you don't actually know what's there significance...
Brief description on android starting process :
pbl(primary boot loader "boot.bin") executes first and then it executes sbl ...
Sbl(secondary boot loader "sbl.bin") is responsible for responding to combos...download mode.. Intercepting odin commands..... booting system...booting kernel.... Charging your battery while switch off... Etc etc
Harm anyone of them... And Your phone goes into lifetime hibernation, Hard-bricked.

Hi to all, it's only my second post but i have a major problem with my samsung s-5360. it's won't boot anymore, but it can enter cmw and recovery. This is what i did wrong i believe. At first i installed morocs 1.8 kernel on creed fusion version 3.1 and it wouldn't boot anymore, so i ended up using a back-up i made before with cmw. And it worked well and phone was booting again and was on stock again. ( because back-up was made with stock-version obviously )
Then i thought: well let's try repensis noob version. And installed it and there was also an update 2 and installed it over it as well before booting the os, maybe this is what i did wrong dunno .. But afterwards it didn't boot anymore and whatever i tried, restoring one of the 3 images i made, or using one of the roms posted here like Creed fusion 3.1 rom or Aurora 2 nor Chobits didn't work.
I also tried reverting to stock with odin 1.85 but when i connected my phone via usb to the pc, odin didn't see my phone. ( after selecting the 3 tar files in odin ) Maybe i'm doing wrong something there.
What i also have to add is that when doing factory wipe in recovery it says formatted E: but unable to format E:\dev10 and dev11. clearing cache is no problem and also cleared dalvik cache. Can you please help me out ? I know, it sounds very noobish but well, i have to face it because can't do it myself without help anymore it seems ... Thanx a lot in advance.
please make sure that you've installed the driver and plug the usb to computer only on download mode when flash with odin. dev10 and dev11 are the partition for data and cache. that error means something was wrong with your recovery mode. you'll need to install a fresh stock rom with odin.

to be precise: the guy was Doky73...
I was playing with different revisions of SBLs because on SGS2 some old SBL gives the possibility to reset custom bin counter via JIG. At a given point accidentally browsed SGS2 bootloader instead of SGY one...
But I did perfect job, the service center wasn't able to detect the cause of bricking, but they recovered my phone under warranty. (I think they're not reading this forum )

i rooted my galaxy s5 and it always fail in recovery... and when i get out from the download mode, everything's ok, my galaxy s5 worked well.
and the problem came one hour ago, i reset my phone to factory settings and tried to root again and it works!!
but the process stucked at cache.img,

i tried to recover my device with samsung kies, but kies cannot detect my phone.
i need your help guys...
im an android newbie, just moved from ios
please help me
I had the same exact problem. Flashing CWM Recovery got me out of that nasty screen. You don't need to use the recovery - the mere act of installing it seems to have done the trick for me.
In the end I couldn't root but I am glad my phone works.

Andy Ibanez, I love you man! I thought i was in deep muck when i came across your solution. Thank you once again!
It sounds like you had a failed i.e. partial write and /or partition corruption.
Flashing a custom recovery is an expedient fix, but you may still have corrupt partitions that can cause you problems later. You should find the appropriate PIT (partition information) file to match your current firmware and flash that to assure a stable system.
Hey there
I had the same problem. The screen showed the ' firmware issue' message.
I used the odin 3.09 to flash the CF Root again and this time it worked properly.
i didn't loose any files and the root works perfectly
---- Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900H user
Dear Xda peoples,
i decided to root and install a custom ROM after owning my note 3 for a couple of months,
running android 5.0 lollipop this is my first rooting & custom OS experience ever...
so far i have managed to unroot my device, checked and tested this superuser acces and such !
so the next step was to flash a custom recovery to my note 3, i tried 2 ways.
1 was by Heimfield or something, after alot of trouble withouth any particulair results
2 was a clockwork recovery by odin and this succeeded according to ODIN....
next step was BOOTING in recovery mode.... pressing volume up, home and power button at the same time..
there is just no way i get it into recovery at this point. it starts downloading mode and gets stuck into this mode untill i re-flash the recovery and let the device auto reboot by ODIN setting....
i tried taking out the battery for a few seconds and didnt manage to get into recovery from this point either.....
i've managed to get it into recovery before. once and this was the stock recovery.... not the clockwork one...might have been overwriten as i have read...
please HELP ! i really want a taste of cyanogenmod on my device

Because I can't get into CWM recovery...I can't make a backup either (possibly considering "unrooting" and starting over)?
Please help...I'm trying to root so that I may tether...?

Hello guys, so yesterday I rooted and installed TWRP on my Galaxy Note 3, but i've got 2 versions of TWRP one was HLTE and one was HA3G, the first time I installed the HA3G, but when I was trying to install the HLTE ( The wrong one for my phone because I don't have LTE) odin froze on some thing, So I was stupid and I shut down my phone while it was updating and now I'm stuck with the " Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again" But when I try to recover it with kies it says that SM-N900 is not compatible with recovering or something like that. So I'm trying to bring it back with odin. I've downloaded some .tar firmware repair files, but they're not helping. I've tried to flash the stock firmware that i've got from sammobile.com and now I'm trying to flash the TWRP HA3G, maybe it will help me do something but like with the others this stopps at some random point. And whatever i do it doesn't show a proggres bar in odin it is only showing the blue text at ID:COM. Right now I'm in download mode with 'Current binary: Samsung Official" and " Sistem Status: Custom " even tho I didn't manage to succesfully install a custom rom. When I was trying to install a custom rom there was always the error 7 before I bricked my phone with odin . Please help me if you can, I can sharescreen trough skype if this is any helpful.
P.S The recovery on the phone isn't working aswell.

How
Hi folks!!!
I know is very annoying this question....
But already look in a lot of forums in XDA, but without luck....
So I first start with my background about restoring and flashing devices.....
MY first flashing device was a Galaxy S1 with Cyanogenmod.
Later a flash 1 Galaxy Young, and after I fixed a different and default random soft bricked Galaxy Young.
My last flashed device was a S5 with LineageOS 3/4 months ago....
Im did so installing CWM when was possible, using Odin , or ADB....from Linux and W$.....
Until I get lost my last phone Galaxy S5...
So I had to buy a 2° hand phone quickly....he was working OK... for a while ....the time has passed and become more and more slowly....so I decided to make a reset factory .......very BAD IDEA... I didn't take build information....just the model...GT-I9500....
The same info appears in the Odin download Mode....
But there is no tag with SN, and IMEI neither on the back... :'-(
So I get stuck in the Download mode ...but there IS NOT TAG about ODIN mode in this screen.....at least if
unplug the battery, and restart the phone holding PWR+HOME+VOL. DOWN .
[ EDIT ]
Trying to flash stock firmware with Kies ( who request a valid SN, what I take from web ) in the next models
GT-I9505
GT-I9500
give me this message ( in spanish =) ) ==> "este modelo no admite la inicializaciòn" , which means " this model cannot be initialized" .
[ end EDIT ]
I also tried smash (softly...covering with a canvas ) the power button...but without luck...
Seems like the phone is factory locked..... what I had read may be by AT&T or Verizon....any way to know which dealer?
Any idea or recomendation where to start ???
Its ( maybe ) JTAG cable the ONLY way/solution to fix this, or even this is NOT a solution...?
I will waiting for your answers....
TIA
PS: sorry if I made some mistakes with the english

Hello Rhoban, and thanks for your reply!!!!
and YES, Odin recognize the phone, the flash result is PASS, but the phone continues stucked on the same "Download" screen...
Because I dont have SN and IMEI neither, I dont know which ROM to flash..
After tryed to reset factory whithout luck, I tried to flash lineage, without any result.
Also because I cant unlock bootloader, I supposed to the phone was from Verizon or AT&T.
I tried to flash this ROMS's , setting the image on AP field from Odin

Hi, the same download screen before you started flashing? Do you have "no reboot" ticked? (Heimdall user sorry) After pass just restart the phone and wait 10 min or so.
Also because I cant unlock bootloader, I supposed to the phone was from Verizon or AT&T.

Never read into this, but resources are there( Seen some topic titles), there is hope for Verizon and AT&T users.
also i tried to flash the next PIT files and same result...nothing changed
SCH-I545.pit
SGS-I337_16GB.pit
adonis.pit

Did you have a backup? Flashing the wrong pit file might hardbrick your phone. I guess the above where blocked bij Odin (Lucky you).
In short:
Connect your phone in download mode> open Odin> click PDA or AP > Select the stock firmware > start.
You mentioned your device being a GT-I9500, but the ROMs you said you have downloaded are for I545 and I337, both of which are Snapdragon models. The GT-I9500 is the Exynos model.
So that may be your problem.
Thanks LexHimself for your advices! I had backed up already the contacts and pics.
and thanks Rhoban ....for you suggest I have to start again from the beggining, looking for the rigth ROM for my device... so thanks for put spot on the processor model !!!!
So I gonna start again, looking for the right ROMS...
I will post as soon has news about flashing Exynos rom´s....
thanks guys!!!
[SOLVED] !!!!
Hello guys!!!!
As Rhoban point me, I have to look for the right recover image ,and ROM for my phone GT-I9500, with Exynos processor, who has code JA3G, so with that code I can address well .
So I download this recovery image "philz_touch_6.12.8-i9500.tar.md5", and after install, I download and install the right LineageOS ROM for my system.....
but this would not have happened, if I would started for look for the processor model as FIRST STEP...
so THANKS SO MUCH RHOBAN, and thanks LexHimself for your advices!!!!
??????
Cheers!!!!
