Yes, i have THAT bad luck. I was using de Odin3 one-click downloader to restore the original flash for my i9000, and the power shut down during the second phase (COM14 i think i remember). Now the phone boots, shows the At&t screen and then reboots, stuck on a never ending cicle. If i put the usb cable, it doesnt power on. I cant put it on download mode or recovery mode either, is it totally bricked?

Ok, so I installed the LG G Pro 2 ROM, had it rooted and ofc had stock recovery ... My Wi-Fi (for some odd reason) didn't want to turn itself on, so i tried to restart the phone .... It got stuck in a bootloop, so I'm having following problems ... I entered stock recovery and tried to wipe the rom, no help, still stuck in recovery .... Can't access download mode to flash a KDZ file, since I cant really "shut" the phone down, rather just "restart" it by long pressing the power key, and if i try to hold the vol up button while connecting it to the computer to enter download mode, it fails every time and it just goes to the LG logo and get's stuck there .... Can I somehow shut the phone down completly or flash a kdz file from stock recovery ?
Edit: OK, I somehow did shut it down completly ... I think i held all 3 buttons at the same time for like, 10 - 15 secs and it did shut down completly ...
So - sorry for the thread, mods can lock it!

download mode. try holding power button down for 20+ seconds. now hold volume up button while plugging in usb cable.
Don't know what could be wrong here... I've tried to boot the device into flash mode:
1. keep reset button pressed
2. insert power cable
3. connect the other end of the USB cable to PC
After the steps above I saw the usual android robot on the device screen, then I simply disconnected power and USB cable (nothing else has been done). Now if I power on the device it boots always in download mode... I can boot the device into "flash" mode in the same way, but _without_ connecting power cable, the device is recognizable by the Rockchip Batch tool or the rkflashtool. With the last tool I can read/backup everything, but the device is booting only in the download mode. I'd appreciate any ideas.
EDIT: Sorry for the noise... It just takes a long while to boot with different android logo the first time after entered flash/recovery mode.
Sorry, wrong thread ...
Hi Guys!
I'm new to XDA developers, but I've been following this forum for many years.
I would like to resurrect my old phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4 Value Edition (GT-I9515), witch is most likely bricked.
About one year ago, the device started to randomly reboot, until it no longer powered on (It was NOT rooted or modded).
Recovery also did not work, so I decided to flash the stock firmware with Odin. The flash failed, so i decided to follow a (really stupid ) guide that said that to solve it was necessary to flash a PIT file of the Samsung GT-I9505, so I tried it.
Since then, I'm not able to boot the phone anymore.
What can I do with the phone now? What have I tried? I'll try to be as clear as possible:
Recovery mode:
I can boot into recovery only by pressing VOL UP + POWER with phone connected to charger, and then inserting battery keeping pressed the buttons, but when I try to boot into Recovery Mode, 3 different things can happen:
It does not power on
It vibrates, then reboot and freeze in Samsung GT-I9515 logo
It vibrates randomly and then open successfully the stock recovery
Download mode:
I can boot into download only by pressing VOL DOWN + POWER with phone connected to charger, and then inserting battery keeping pressed the buttons, but when I try to boot into Download Mode, it seems that the screen freeze at a certain point while loading the recovery mode warning (this warning loads slowly, like a slide from top to bottom). The device rarely fully load the warning, and when it does, when I press the VOL UP key to confirm entering download mode (sometimes it does not respond to VOL UP click for confirmation and i must reboot) Odin is able to find the device but during a flash the Odin log stop at Setup Connection, so the device is not responding.
Normal boot:
Yesterday, after hundreds of attempts, I was able to start the phone normally (I don't know how) , it asked for the initial configuration and language, but when I turned it off, the problem reappeared and I was not able to boot it normally. In most cases, the device freezes in Samsung GT-I9515 logo, it continues to restart or simply does not vibrate or power on.
When charging, I don't see anything such as the charging battery icon or the LED.
I realize that I was wrong to flash that PIT file, but is there anything I can do to make this device work properly?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Noone?
After the oneui 2.0 finished installing it rebooted but it wont go past the boot logo and keeps going off and on off and on...wont boot into download mode or recovery mode wont do anything.... just gata wait till the phone dies basically .... tried connecting it to my pc but just wont do anything else....help?
Looks like soft brick. Try power+vol down, then when phone screen goes off press bixby and vol down and immediately connect the cable, it soud put the phone in download mode.

or he might just have needed to do a factory wipe
Can be, but in that case it should be no problem to enter recovery, but he says that it doesn't go as well
Hi!
I have a problem with a galaxy a40 device, I flashed a stock ROM with Odin, everything went fine, green lights, PASS and all, but now the device just won't go pass the SM logo anymore. When I turn on, logo appears 2-3 secs I get a warning of the unlocked BL then logo comes back and after a second the phone restarts itself and the same goes on forever ( well about several hours, and after that it just shuts off somehow ). I cannot enter recovery mode or download mode at all. I keep pressing the combinations Power + Vol Down, Power + Vol Up, All three and every combinations I have just found on the internet so far. Odin doesnt recognize the phone, which is not a surprise since it won't start up. I have tried with adb but waiting for device is all I get.
How is it even possible that I cannot enter download mode at all? There was no problem with the physical keys, and the power still works, I cannot test the Vol buttons tho.
Has anyone ever had a problem like this? How can I come back from this? Is there a way to flash a ROM without download mode or turned off phone?
Thanks for any help!!
The download mode for this model is different from previous Samsung's :
IIRC, with the phone off, you need to hold VolumeUp and VolumeDown, then plug in the USB cable connected to a computer (you may need to press Power to power up the phone, I can't recall properly).
From there, you should be able to restore a stock ROM with Odin.
Let us know if it helped !

Here the same problem, have a40 in loop and never get rocgnized for computer, tryed many different cables, and installed a booring large amount of drivers software and nothing...
you need to power off device completely. let battery drain if you can't shut down. press and keep holding volume down + plug in usb cable for Odin3 (I doubt both?)

Generic answers, repeated 800 times why really need to waste a post with that? and that not was the problem:
1- For no usb recognition, is this phone bad design, in the back tap where is the battery in the samsung logo more or less if you push with fingers and charge is because the design of baterry is so crap and your usb port goes off when the under tap cable moves or just get little out of conection. If you can get working after push, usb on phone will do too.
