had a cable come out while flashing my 6700 rom. I performed the hard reboot and is now stuck in bootloader mode. The top of the screen only shows serial and the bottom shows version 1.04. I read alot of the other threads and downloaded the various programs to fix. However my pc does not recognize the phone via usb. Any suggestions?

Hello,
this is what the problem is, the power button doesnt bring it back to life. i do a soft reset, it says press zero to clear, i do that it doesnt work. then i do a hard re-set and it shows 'serial', i plug in the usb and it changes to USB (think that's what is called the boot loader'.
now i ran teh exec official firmware, it managed to update it onces but after that i did a soft reset and it didnt come to life. i repeated that process again but this time the firmware didnt even manage to communicate with the device as it said unknown usb device. and then i got an error 101, connection error
any ideas whati can do to make sure it gets restored, i am really going nuts now!!
Same Problem
I am having the same problem with my 02 exec. My phone keeps on being in bootloader, I have tried mtty and I don't have usb connection. Hmm I have tried uni_exitbootloader ,but it tells me that it can not open my usb port. Which sucks. Truely and I am stuck. I am running vista. So I am stumped because I don't know what else to do.
Me too
I am stuck on bootloader page the one that says USB at the top and V1.00 at the bottom. I have Vista so can not use mtty or the other one. I have turned off the USB on Windows Mobile thingy from Vista like activesync. I can get the white screen to show O and X for either factory reset or exit. And I have tried the bootloader screen as noted above. So can anyone help?
i got it working for 2days and then when i was on wifi, it crashed again and wont start again, i get to serial/usb mode of bootloader and also to hard reset when i press 0 to clear everything. but then it doesnt start again.
i thought it was something to do with the battery so i put in a new battery but that still doesnt help.
can someone send me a link to mtty and what to use it. i shall give that a try again.
thanks
mines just still stuck
same im still stuck in boot loader wont budge from he bootloader screen with serial v1.00 on cannot connect via usb as the connection broken i use a extrunal battery charger and got serveral batterys any help yet?
With no warning, my phone froze today (it's done it a few times, but a soft reset's fixed it) and nothing, including a hard reset, seems help.
I can get into bootloader and hard reset screens, however it gets 'stuck' on the Orange splash screen. The numbers in the corner flash up for a split second and then disappear.
I haven't been flashing ROMs, I just picked it up and it stopped working. I have tried the instructions here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery) but the computer can't connect to it (both with Active Sync on or off and Active Sync USB connection on or off)
Can you make any suggestions?
Thank you!
When you go into bootloader, do you see USB on the screen? Wot are your IPL and SPL?
Im surprised flashing with Jesterz did not work, that was my first step in recovering mine and it worked
When you tried this, did you unplug all other usb from your PC? try another cable? sounds daft but only one usb port out of 4 worked for me. Give some more info on what you did and what happened?
Okay, so I've already done a quick search of the forums and haven't found a situation close enough to mine to remedy my problem.
I was trying to update my ROM. I was flashing it when the progress bar stopped around 13%. After that, When I tried recovery, it seemed to stop detecting the phone at all. That is when I started looking around for other fixes.
Phone will start up into boot-loader(the tri-color screen), which shows
HERM100
IPL-1.03
HERM100
SPL-1.11
Now the main problem is that none of the updaters work because my computer cannot even detect that the phone is plugged in. When I try to plug it in, the computer shows "Unrecognized device". I use Windows Home Premium.
I've also tried MTTY. There is no USB option from the dropdown menu. I've killed Windows Mobile Device Center before trying this option.
Help me guys! What should I do?

Hello there,
A few days ago I bricked my Elf by executing a tweaking util. The device wont start anymore, no LED lights...nothing.
I tried to follow the how-to-guides to unbrick, but I stucked with entering the bootloader mode. After pressing Power+Camera button, the tricolor screen appears, but without the RUU message in the top right corner. When plugging in the USB cable, the device shows USB at the bottom, but WinXP returns with "unknown device" and driver installation isnt possible.
When using MTYY the USB Port isnt available (I think this is connected with the driver install issue).
Has anybody a solution or a hint for that?
Thanx in advance
Philipp
I am new to posting, but I have followed XDA for a long time and used it to install custom ROM's on other phones. However, I now have a problem with my wife's Samsung Galaxy GT-S5360L. I have searched for hours, but can not find a solution.
The phone is stuck in a boot loop. I can enter stock recovery mode. When I try to perform a factory reset, I get the following message:
E:format folume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11
formatting /cache
Data wipe complete
After wiping the cache partition, the phone continues to be stuck in the same boot loop after reboot (Samsung logo appears on screen, followed by animation, back to Samsung logo).
The phone will not enter into download mode. When I press power+volume down+home, I see a white screen, followed by a black sreen, followed by another white screen. the suggested method of removing the battery, SIM, and SD card, and plugging into the computer while holding both volume buttons does not work. Odin will not recognize that the phone is connected.
I tried to connect the phone to two different computers. One runs Linux mint with Windows XP on a VM. This computer has always worked for flashing ROM's to other phones. Odin would not recognize the phone, and I received messages that the device was not properly installed.
I then tried to connect the phone to another computer with Windows Vista. This PC has Kies installed and Samsung drivers. Kies would not connect to the phone, and I also received messages that the device was not properly installed. Odin would not recognize the phone. I should note that the phone has interfaced with this computer sucessfully before.
This phone has never had a custom recovery or ROMs installed. It only has the original stock ROM. Is the phone's hardware defective, or can it somehow be fixed? Please post any links to threads that I may have missed. Thanks.
Download mode is only effected by a change in bootloader normally by Flashing incompatible firmware or a hardware fault
For flashing via odin kies is not required - its useless as it's not compaitable with the galaxy y for this purpose
You just need the Samsung USB drivers available from my firmware thread (links in signature)
It maybe possible to still flash the device
Once USB drivers installed
Enter download mode
Connect USB to pc
When the white screen appears push Vol up
Wait a few seconds
Open odin
Put the 3 firmware files in their places & flash
If it doesn't flash you will either need to flash a new bootloader via a jtag (repair shop) Or replace the motherboard - either way unless you can get it done very cheap it's more economical to buy a new phone
Thank you marcussmith2626 for your sound advice. The phone is working again. I will share the problems I solved in order to flash the stock ROM. Hopefully this will help anyone else that may have a similar problem.
The Samsung USB drivers had been previously installed on my PC running windows vista. I installed the drivers so that I did not have to use the bloated Kies software. However, when I tried to connect the corrupted phone to the PC via USB, it was not recognized, even though the correct drivers were installed. Below is the procedure I had to follow in order to connect the phone:
1. I connected the phone to the computer via USB. The phone had the battery installed and was powered off. After connecting to the computer, the phone started charging (battery icon on screen). Connecting in download mode at this point did not work. The phone must be powered off.
2. When the "found new hardware" notification box appeared, I had to make a note of each device that had been discovered.
3. I then had to open Device Manager from the control panel and find each device (the name in Device Manager matched the name in the new hardware notification).
4. I right clicked on each unknown device and selected "update driver software"
5. In the next menu, I selected "Browse my computer for driver software"
6. In the following menu, I selected "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"
7. This brought up a list currently installed drivers. I selected the Samsung phone driver.
8. The driver then installed for the selected device..
9. Steps 2 through 9 were repeated for each new device discovered by Windows (each device listed in the "found new hardware" dialog).
10. I started the phone in boot mode (power+home+volume down, phone still connected to PC). I saw only a white screen. However, when I pressed the volume up button, the phone connected to the PC. Odin recoginized the phone and the stock ROM was flashed.
So, even if you only see a white screen, download mode can still be active. In my case, the drivers on the PC were not working correctly, probably due to the corruption of the original stock ROM. The drivers can only be added on my PC using the above method. The option to choose from a list of currently installed drivers was not available from the found new hardware wizzard.
Also, I will also say for reference that in the USA, the stock ROM from Brazil is the one that should be used so that the phone broadcasts on the proper GSM frequencies.
