Possible Brick with Pic

I dont know if this is officially bricked. I cant seem to get anything to make it go into download mode. I have never seen the screen in the pic before and did not see any other thread that listed a fix for this. I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
thanks,
Jay

Soft brick. Just hook to pc open odin, add pit file and tar file. Press start.

does the computer recognize the phone when u plug it in? does odin recognize it?

Thanks for response, Yes odin does recognize when phone connected, but never able to get files to install!
Edit: It was a soft brick, Win 7 was not picking up phone. Xp to the rescue. Thanks for all help

make sure you have the sd card and the sim out. then download the latest odin (it is found in Dev section now) and the latest pit. Then go through all the normal odin procedure...... me ......... I would first odin back to Froyo that doesn't brick (no repartition --leave unchecked)then Odin back to JFD (check repartition)..........
That should work......... good luck

Pull out battery, hold both volume up and down buttons, plug in USB, and hold power. That should really put your phone into download-mode

Also you might want to try a different version of odin.

[Q] bricked s4

Hi I installed the root for my s 4 i9505 but i used the i9500 and now it is stuck on the kies thing. I was wondering if there was anything i could do and also if someone has the pit partition for the h3g stock rom i could try that way. Any help is appreciated.

Try to flash back your stock Rom with odin, should be fine.

i have tried that but it keeps on saying there is no pit partition. Do you know where i could get the pit file?

you don't need to get complicated. just download an official firmware that is Odin compatible, and then install in odin (open is as PDA).
before that, shut down the phone (keep power pressed). restart in download mode (volume down, menu then power), with cable plugged out. you will go to the download screen. connect the cable, start odin... and there you are... (at least this is what I did with mine when I got stacked to the kies screen)

I will try that again and get back to you. I am downloading an official firmware now and will try that.

and maybe, if that does not work, an forced update via kies might still do the job....

How do i do a forced update via kies? Kies does not recognise my phone when i have it connected. Should i try connecting the usb to the back of the computer rather than the front?

Try Flashing another Kernel

I don't know exactly what that would do.
You cannot flash another kernel, as there is none yet.
You need to be in download mode for kies to recognize (volume down, home, power). It should work to do Emergency firmware recovery in Tools.
Anyway, I am quite sure that running from Odin works. Have you tried to follow the steps I mentioned?

No still at work finish in 20 mins. I have tried all that yesterday but Odin still kept on saying no partition thing and kies I did the emergency firmware recovery but it did not connect to the phone. I will try again but this time connect the usb to the back of the computer.

Do not flash with re-partition only in an EXTREME case !

what will it do if i do? as i am getting frustrated as then the phone will be a £600 paperweight

Repartition is supposedly going to wipe all data on your phone, but it's also a death button that makes you ODIN freeze and making your phone not boot up so proceed with extreme caution
It uses the .pit file to repartition the space the pit file holds how much to allocate to /system, /data. If you leave it blank and flash, it'll drop the files your flashing into the existing 'slots'. If you select the pit file and repartition, it'll reallocate.
Only select that if the instructions for your rom require you to do it.

Thanks it works. I put the usb lead at the back of my pc and installed the stock rom thanks for your help guys

[Q] Odin accidental zip flash =/

I was supposed to unpack the tarfile from the zip, but since my computer decided to not recognize the zip and using the rar icon I thought it was the tar itself and flashed it only to realise my mistake as Odin said the flash failed. As of right now, every time I start my device, it says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and shows a picture that looks like *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Kies emergency recovery does not recognize the device.
Trying to start the phone in recovery mode takes me to the *Phone**Triangle**Computer*.
Download mode > Flashing a stock rom = fail (Yes, it's unpacked this time)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
P.S. Now before anyone bothers to help me out here.. I know.. I'm an idiot, and anyone who takes his or her time to help out here is my hero for the rest of my life <3 D.S.

see my sig for pit file with odin :good:

Alright, so I got a lot further this time.
I figured out how to get into Download mode again, suddenly I need to press and hold the combo a little while longer than I did before, or it will go to *phone**triangle**computer*.
I got the official firmware into PDA in Odin 3.07 this time around and connected my phone to the computer after I loaded PDA.
I then pressed start and VOILA!!! Thanks fellas!

You welcome enjoy

PLEASE HELP! Odin not flashing and phone not booting up

Hi there
I just recently flashed the latest firmware & bootloader using ODIN and then the phone just got stuck in the splash screen. I tried rebooting to recovery several times but it just doesn't work.
I can access download mode and ODIN detects the phone, but every time I try to flash TWRP or firmware it gives me an error.
Sometimes the error says "There is no PIT partition", and other times it just says "FAIL! (DeviceInfo)".
The device is useless at the moment and the only thing I can access is Download Mode to no avail.
Please help me!
