Hold the red and green button down and press and hold the power/reset button on top and wait until a screen pops up.

Typically you put it in bootloader mode and then reflash as normal. Are you not able to get in to bootloader mode?

I can on a good day.. The phone is very unstable for the moment.. But when i try to flash a new ROM from Bootloader, Active Sync can't detect the device. Is that normal?
The phone is unlocked, and it shows "USB" on the screen when i plug the USB in Bootloader..

Yes. All you have said above is absolutly normal. When you see the "USB" just flash it. Have you ever flash your device before?

I Think I Bricked My 8125

I was installing a new rom and my laptop shut down at 98% done. Now my 8125 will only come on in boot loader. PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP
Try to reflash your current ROM, start the flashing thru the Bootloader Screen..you're still lucky you still got the bootloader UP.Hehehe
Goodluck
I'm trying that. it started to work once but then my fing laptop shut down again at 98% again. I think there is something with that rom. Now I'm trying to flash with original rom but it is telling me that it is not connected now.
Ok, try to re-download the ROM installer again..if still fails, try to load the ROM thru MiniSD, that would be the last option you got if all still fails.
ya u can try to download also a dif rom installer or try it on a dif computer

I don't think you're in the bootloader mode when you try. The screen should be three colored and when connected to USB it should say USB at the bottom of the screen.
As mentioned before. You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.
OK, I think there's been a miscommunication.
1.) Download the RUU
2.) Get into bootloader mode (You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.)
3.) Connect your phone to your Laptop or PC
4.) Execute the EXE ON YOUR LAPTOP OR PC and follow instructions.
That's what we're trying to say. Hope it helps!

Remove your battery. Reinsert you battery. Holding camera button press the On button. That should put you in bootloader mode. Everytime I've been this bad (and it happens every so often with the weird ROM's I screw with) I have to use the 1.05, nothing else works.
Good luck!

did you flash another ROM?
looks like its time for a hard reset. hold down the red button and press the reset button with the stylus without letting go of the red button. press up and it will reset the phone. remember, backups take space, but save you later =]

hopefully you did Hard SPL before Flashing if so you can relax your phone isn't bricked. to get it working again go to the tri colored screen by holding power and side camera button and while holding that tap the reset button on back. when you get to the tri color screen plug your phone to the computer and flash a different ROM that has been tested to work then your good to go hope this helps

I'm a little confused. Was your phone S-OFF before you ran the RUU? How did you root it and make HBOOT S-OFF?

Ok, if HBOOT says S-OFF that means you're rooted. What happens when you try to turn it on while holding power and volume-down? Will it turn on? What appears?

It sounds like your bootloader is very very messed up...we're going to need to wait for someone who knows how to fix that, or if it is even possible.

[Q] Can someone help with the solution?

Hey guys,my phone will automatically turn itself on when i insert my battery. Then after the Samsung logo, the screen automatically turns black. I first suspected that it was a battery problem, but that did not turn out to be the case. I think it has something to do with the power button. I also tried to boot it up into recovery mode but the screen still went black before i had the chance to do anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Why you said that the battery is ok?
It's definitely a stuck power button
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Try to let the battery drain and make the phone die, then try to charge it when its off and get to download from when its off.
Also have you tried a jig to get into download mode and stay there?
