Hello there
My Phone galaxy s iii i9300 just hangs and shutdowns or forces me to shutdown by holding the power button. I could have rooted, flashed custom recov and changed OS but the issue is this phone does not connect to pc at all. The reason for that is that I gave this phone to a repair guy to fix charging port issues and that guy somehow managed to mess up the pcb traces of the port which are responsible for PC connection and now the pc connection thingy doesnt work at all. So I am kinda stuck please tell me what to do. I have tried kingo root for rooting I get some weird java lang error, tried framaroot but my device isnt vulnerable according to it. What should I do?

hey guys is will need some help with this device im not kind of a noobie on this kind of things bcs i been working with several phones, like the veteran xperia10, galaxy ace, motoroi2, etc etc. but never with a tablet
here is what it happens a friend ask me if i can upgrade his sgt-p1010 to a newer version, honeycomb or maybe ics, i´ve read a lot of posts regarding this on how to upgrade it trough odin everything was fine until the reboot of the device, bcs by my mistake i flash a rom of the 7.7" tab and this one is a 7" only now the tab is not turning on, odin is not recognizing it, either samsung kies or the pc. buttons are not responding it wont charge and cant enter to download mode.
I REALLY NEED HELP FROM U GUYS, HOPE U CAN HELP ME
ps. srry for my english :laugh:
This kind of thing can result in the inability to boot which can only be repaired by the use of specific hardware, i.e. this could be a "hard brick". Then again, maybe it can be restored to working order by flashing it again (a "soft brick"). So the very first thing you need to know is, can it get to download mode?
Turn it off, if it's switched on, and charge it for a couple of hours,say four hours. Use the original charger connected to mains. It doesn't matter if it shows anything, or nothing on the screen, let it charge. This is to make sure flashing it won't fail because it doesn't hold a charge.
Now connect it to the PC with the original USB cable. Then after making sure it's switched off, switch it on by pressing the On/Off button, while simultaneously the Volume UP switch. Press them both at the same time, and keep them pressed! If you're lucky you'll get the yellow graphic with the download text. A phone symbol, an !, and a PC symbol is fine too. Even if it doesn't show anything, you may be in download mode, so install the right drivers, and hopefully Odin or Heimdall will recognise is, and will allow you to flash the right ROM.
well i already let it charge for all night long and nothing happens after i perfomed the flashing the screen was totally in black but it doesnt shoes anything i mean the tab was turned on, then apparently batterie dies and after that is not charging. already tried with the heimdall thing but it says that device is not connected.
I think that this is going to be a HARD BRICK
so do u thhink there is another way to solve it?????
or it will be necessary the JTAG stuff???? bcs i dont want to try that it seems that is very difficult to me bcs i dont know nothing about hardware jejejeje
You have installed the Heimdall driver? It's called zadig.exe. Then you have to go to download mode and connect the Tab to the PC with the USB cable. Then Heimdall hopefully will detect the Tab.
If there's no way software will revive the Tab, it's hard bricked and will need hardware to get it working again. There's this guy mobiletechvideos.com who will repair any kind of brick. Basically he uses the JTAG on the board of the Tab and a special box to flash the right ROM to the Tab, even when it's dead. Some here have tried the service, and they say he's quite reliable. Another way is to modify your Tab with Adam Outler's Unbrickable Mod. It's brilliant, you can't soft brick your Tab after that, but it involves soldering very small components on the board of the Tab. The mobiletechvideos guy can do it for you I believe.
Well, I guess you just got a hardbrick .
The only way to fix this problem is go to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER.

Hi guys i think my galaxy s4 may be hard bricked. i took my phone out of my pocket today to find it completely dead. The phone is rooted and was running jamals 4.3 ge rom. The only explanation i have is that i bumped it in my pocket and it somehow installed the ota update for the google edition phone. very unlucky i know but i cant think of any other explanation apart from hardware failure. When i try to power the phone now i get a flash of green across the screen and the phone vibrates. i then get a solid blue led in the corner. Ive hooked the phone up to the computer and odin recognises it as com5 and blue. ive checked device manager and windows recognises it under portable devices as jussa sam (my phone) i am unable to get the phone into download mode its completely dead apart from a blue led. Any suggestions? ive ordered a usb jig to see if i can force it into download mode. When plugged into the charger the phone is getting very hot.
If the screen goes on, you can repair it.
Put out battery and put it in again.
vol down+home+power button
That must work with odin.
If not try with kies.
My guess is that you have a hardware failure. It's almost impossible to brick it in the way you descriped. You just got unlucky. Nothing you can do that will fix it.
looks like you killed your bootloader. And so the regulation of charching and booting
try kies. if that not works, deinstall the driver from your phone.
restart computer and plug in your phone.
Look what driver will be installed
The OTA would not install on a rooted phone, it would fail during the process and revert back to normal booting.
Convinced its hardware fault nw. Will put it in to Samsung for warranty hoping they won't be able to tell it's rooted. Pic of screen in link http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m217/justinneumann01/Mobile Uploads/image_zps619f1980.jpg
Hi every one,
I have a G900V that runs a cm ROM(I flashed the custom rom), the phone was fine until 3 days ago,
I tried to boot the phone and nothing happen!?? black screen, no sound no thing respond!!
There is only a vibration when I plug the battery, even if I don't press the power button.
I tried to go recovery or flash but no chance. My computer recognize the phone when plugged as Samsung_Android but I have no access to files or anything else.
Odin also doesn't recognize the phone.
I m thinking to try the unbrick way but before I would ask for your advices please.
Thank you
The phone is a refurbished Galaxy S5.
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
Dead battery would be first check .

Battery - I did the "spin" test on the battery and it doesn't show any physical characteristics of an overheated(bulged) battery. I'm going to test fit my battery into another note3 and I'll respond 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.
So I gifted my mother a Galaxy Tab (SM-T355Y) a few years back and it was behaving fine until a few weeks back. Now it gets in an infinite bootloop when we try turning it on (I see the black screen with Galaxy Tab written in white, and it boots again and again) and it simply won't budge. I cannot access recovery in this state as pressing the required buttons still keep me in the loop.
Now flashing the stock firmware on Odin would be the logical go-to in such case, but I cannot get Odin to recognize the device when plugged in on Download mode. I keep getting a message saying 'Windows doesn't recognize the device', but it recognizes my S10 perfectly and I did install all necessary drivers when I had plugged in my S10 for the first time.
I think the drivers for both S10 and the Tab should be the same. Am I missing something here? I hate it when I'm not able to fix an android device myself, but I seem to have hit a roadblock in this case.
PS: I don't come from a tech background and I've learnt all things android on XDA, so excuse any gaps in my understanding.
Cheers!
