Do you get no power when you turn on your phone? Nothing shows up on the screen at all. You have the worst brick possible that is recoverable. I wished this post came out before I did a warranty swap.
Here's how to fix: Credit goes to OP
- You need Odin program before starting.
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Insert battery.
5. Connect usb cable.
6. HOLD VOL+ and VOL- while plugging in USB
Got download screen and flashed with ODIN..
Let ODin finish.
*** This program recovered my dead phone with no power, nothing shows up on my screen. - Dead and also a stuck boot up screen.
I saw another post that has the similar set of instructions 6. HOLD VOL+ and VOL- and then press the power button. Nothing happens.
I am curious how people this post has helped. Can you respond when you these directions gets your phone up. Thank you.
this is cOLD. and has been posted numerous times.
A.K.A. Check [STOCK] Odin 1 click. and this does not recover from a completely dead phone that doesn't have button combo to download mode.
I thought that was what we all did to get into d/l
Some tools developer or reseller said that the phone is bricked,
and need Jtag tool to do recovery.

Jtag is usefull for empty or totally corrupted ROM recovery.
But if you see this, your phone is FAR from brick !
Just press the keys, bring it back to download mode
Then plug to cable and flash a working firmware again.
No special tools is needed,
No need to waste time and money send for repair,
Don't waste your good phone and don't break it for jtag.

as my case....but i still can't enter download mode or recovery mode
and now... my pc can't detect my phone again...
what should i do now OMG
Are you seeing the Phone-!-PC symbol? I was in a situation where my phone wouldn't accept the the up/down key press to enter download mode. I ended up having to make a jig which basically will force the phone into download mode. You can search the forums on how to make one.

No, if you see that symbol, you can recover using the method in first post to get to download mode. That is how I got past it.

This is what most people always do to enter dl mode.
However, many phones shipped without the button combos needed for it to work. In that case it is possible to make a USB jig to trigger download mode manually. see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551

I have the same problem but I cannot get it to download mode. My phone is completely dead no power no sign of life. The only thing I notice is when i put the battery into the phone for about 15 minutes the phone is getting hot so I don't know if this is a common problem for bricked phone.

Try these steps to see if you can get the red text to show up. If you can, you are still recoverable using the steps.

I had the exact same "phone - ! - PC" brick screen and vol up + vol down + power only took me to "unknown upload mode". I eventually figured out by myself that holding ONLY vol down + power for 10 sec is what takes you to download mode from that particular screen.
Summary: Anyone who's getting "Phone--!--PC" and the three-button combo takes you to "unknown upload mode", try holding vol down + power for 10 seconds.
dead phone
The guys just turned off my phone and didn’t turn on, didn’t enter into the backup, I can’t flash through ODIN because even after installing the drivers, the computer sees the phone as a ULC1 device and cannot install the drivers needed for the phone, who had such a problem decide? samsung j100fn

Help me plz .... I'm confused ...
That ain't no brick. You're in the recovery console. You have to hit a buton combination to get out of it.
Press one of the volume keys together with the power on button (red phone). I think it was those. Could be another combo though.
Still not working sir I used vol down + power not happend anything, when vol up + power my tattoo start blank screen and green led indicator only ...
Hy!
I can (very cheap) buy a HTC Tattoo which is broken.
The problem is (seller says) : When he try to turn on HTC Tattoo its just vibrating.
Can anyone say me is it hardware or software problem?
(Sorry for my bad english I am from Croatia.)
Hi, the easiest option is to remove the battery n replace it, then turn the phone on. The other option is to keep pressing the buttons home and call end, together.

Hi, is the display working? Well, there might be many defects in the phone or might not be... its like a gamble, you can buy the phone and get it repaired, it might cost you a lot. The call is yours.

I've downloaded (recovery-RA-tattoo-v1.6.2.img) but i don't know how to flash it...
If you cant get your adbd on the phone working, you could try to go over jtag to get a shell. But first download the android sdk from google and try the adb in there.
little development....
I managed to get these options(see attachment) pressing HOME+END after boot, but i can't select any options...
I tried to press every button and i can't enable the selection or move up/down the selection...

Sorry for the late response, you can go to the boot screen by pressing the home button and end button together... This method will only work if the phone is rooted. Else, create a Gold card and get into the fast boot mode by pressing vol down and end button simultaneously lemme know if it worked.

Madaleno, looking at the attachment it shows that your phone is not rooted, which means that you cant apply update via SD card.. it will give u an error message. Create a gold card by grabbing a smart phone from someone, it can be windows mobile or android based.... Once a gold card is created, you can flash a stock ROM. To navigate on the menu, based on ur attachment, use volume up and down keys and call button to select.
If it is not rooted maybe you still have warranty for the phone so you can send it to free service.
Well... no warranty...
And volume up/down does nothing...

You don't need your tattoo to make a gold card.
Ask someone with a Android device, and put you sd card and do it.
Cheers
Got GOLD!
I've used a symbian to read CID and created a goldcard
Can someone give me some guidelines what to do next?
With your phone turned off, press power + volume down buttons at the same time.
Then wait a litle and press back until appears "FASTBOOT" in the screen.
Then connect the usb cable and flash the stock ROM.

so i improved it to be like that = vol up+ vol down +power and wait the screen gonna be black then back to ! then go black again when go black again do the download combo power+ home + vol down ..
it will enter download mode and flash your rom and have fun ..
u don't need to send it to Samsung or buy usb jig
note: maybe this method will not work on devices cant do the 3 button combo
or the devices has a corrupted boot loader but i tried it twice ..

Your description is really hard to understand.The screen you are posting about means NO Death.Actually i have had it a few times,and download mode is accessible from this screen,recovery mode is not though.This screen refers to a bad connection while flashing which is usually not harmful(unless you are updating bootloaders) and it is easy to recover from it.

Agreedwith you.
Wow....a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.
The second poster is right...you didn't actually do what you thought you did, whatever it is you thought you did as the first post is nearly gibberish. Read a little more on the different states your phone can be in and you will understand.

Umm.. Maybe its because you were pressing the wrong keys in the first place. I'm surprised you got that combo working in 2.1 (which is what you are implying)..
Also, the picture you showed I've had a few times, and I never needed a jig. You simply pull the power, use Home+Vol down+power, and THEN plug the phone in by USB. JIG's are RARELY needed, and in some cases, people who think they need a jig might just have a faulty phone, or may simply not be willing to experiment to get it working again.
Sorry, its good that you are contributing, but I myself recall posting similar posts to the forum many times in the past, and many others have as well. But nevertheless, good to hear that you got it working!

DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!!
This method is basically same as the normal stock rom flashing tut, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" Prob, (Just Google that)
. 2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Now flash ur Stock rom via odin...

Problem still persists
Hi everyone!
I had this very same problem. It's my sister's phone. She was promted to install update (I think it was firmware, but not sure). Anyway, the update was stuck at 86%. She lost the nerves and turned off the phone during install athough she shouldn't have. Then the phone was stuck at Samsung logo screen. I did some web browsing, and flashing using odin came up as a perfect solution for me. And I did it! Everything seemed perfect until the end. And just as I thought I finished, and did everything right, the phone (that was still in progres of flashing) just turned off and now I can't get it to do ANYTHING AT ALL since!
I've tried everything I found on web, inclouding suggestions from this forum, trying with usb cable and without battery, but nothing worked! It's simply dead!
Can anyone suggest anything new before I take it to samsug service?
Thanx in advance!
Try to flash with ODIN.. by this method
1. Remove ur battery
2. connect phone without battery
3. press volume up/down + home key
now your phone must be Download mode
4. Now Connect your battery

Hi. Previously I flashed latest TWRP on my B03 Oreo in attempt to root my device but seems like TWRP not mount the internal memory. So I found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/how-to-fix-unable-to-mount-data-t3830897 and followed it but then I stucked at "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." screen.
I also cannot force shutdown the phone, pressing multiple combinations of power button and volume buttons also doesn't effect the phone at all. Now, i am waiting for the phone's battery to drain until zero. Maybe anyone can help me? If I can boot into EDL, I can reflash back the firmware of my phone and maybe that will solve the problem.

I follow that thread because my TWRP do not mount the internal sd card in the recovery mode.
I actually used Nfound version of TWRP but it never boot to recovery mode at all.
I cannot press anything at the screen right now. The screen seems to stuck. Is there anything I can do via wire to pc other than adb since adb cannot detect that screen as either edl or fastboot or adb mode.

I have a similar problem. My Axon 7 stuck in EDL mode, but no software can connect via USB. No button works, screen is of, no LED. Only sign of life is the 9008 com device in device manager, when I connect it with USB.
I've put it into the freezer right now, to wait until the battery drains. But I think it will take a while, because it was nearly full and the screen is off and not much energy is used for EDL mode.
Any other ideas guys?

Solution: Got it back to life by draining the battery in the freezer.
I am in the same position, but with no OS and now cannot get to TWRP. Toolkit and MiFlash do not see the device.
Heading for the freezer.

if they don't see the device, then you are not stuck in EDL...?
How do you see the phone in the device manager? Or do you see it at all?
Otherwise you're putting it in the freezer for pretty much nothing, as it'll still not be recognized after you charge it again. you might damage the battery (reduce its capacity).

I had been flashing bootstackers and matching roms to no avail. Error 08 on TWRP twrp-3.2.3-0-ailsa_ii .
Now, after letting it just sit for a day (?battery discharged), it won't boot into even the warning screen and definitely no recovery.
Disconnected from the PC, Power button gives a brief red led flash. Power held gives a 3 sec red led. Power + Vol + and - in various combos , just the 3 sec led.
Attaching to the PC gives this white screen, which goes off after a couple of seconds. Power button brings it back on, and it stays on, until I disconnect from the PC. Holding power for 15 secs while connected turns the screen off, and pushing power again turns it back on, or sometimes it comes back spontaneously with a few lines across the screen.
Power & Vol +/- combos just bring back the white screen with a few more lines...
It does not show up in device manager, but momentarily is seen by Axon toolkit as an ADB!
Thanks for any guidance you can give.

You can just attach screenshots to xda, i can see them that way too.
I really want to see this white screen, that sounds very weird. If you can get it to be recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 then you're going to be able to flash whatever from EDL Tool.
So this means you CAN enter TWRP? If you are in TWRP then your phone is just saved, because you just need to know what to flash...

I am trying to use this tool
to flash an edl ROM. Any suggestions which i should use?

I just managed to flash A2017G_B10_FULL_EDL, but I had to hold vol+ and - throughout the process! I used Axon 7 toolkit and Miflash 2016.08.30.0. Just going to reboot and factory reset now. Thx for your help C a U.

Now that I checked my response wasn't even sent lol. Good that you could fix it on your own. Just a heads up, you should use EDL Tool (or standalone MiFlash) instead of axon7toolkit, axon7toolkit is outdated and finicky already.
Hi All,
Apologies if this is not posted in the right forum - ADMINS please move if applicable.
Thank you for all the great MODS and Support received over the years, you have supplied me with great reading material and DIY tips.
I have been flashing and modding since the Galaxy S2 and had my fair share of bricked devices , which I always fixed, but this one baffles me as I did not do anything to it, yet!
Little Background
Bought my wife a new Samsung Galaxy A20 (SM-A205F/DS), she dropped it :silly: and screen got broken.
Order new screen and replaced it, before closing I tested device tested and everything was working 100%
Phone worked like it should, then I closed it and now the phone is not booting up.
What have I tried
- Tried the Recovery Mode (Power + Volume Up) - No Go
- Tried to get Download Mode (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down) - No Go
- Tried battery reset (Power + Volume Down) - Phone Starts but gets Black Screen and turns OFF
- Tried battery removal (Remove and Re-connect Battery on Main Board) - No Go
- Tried Data Cable Start - No Go
- Tried ODIN - No Go - Does not detect Phone
- Tried FlashTool - No Go - Does not detect Phone and also does not have MediaTek Chipset
- Tried ADB and Fastboot - Device not detected
Error Code Received
The below only flashes on for 1 sec and ONLY appears when pressing the Power Button - had to record and take photo
Code:
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [BL:Recovery Mode Set by key]#
Support SINGLE-SKU
#Block-Based OTA
Supported API: 3
#MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#
Rebooting....

It responds after 15 seconds, showing the Samsung A20 Logo Secured by Knox, how long should you keep the Volume Up + Volume Down Buttons
If the screen turns on plug it right into the pc and see if it can be detected by Odin or by "adb devices" and try to recover it

Hey, I have tried that already, the screen switches on and stays on for +-20 seconds and then turns off before displaying the Samsung Logo and if you press the Power Button again it displays the Error Code as per my original post and switches off, if you press any other button it does nothing

I got it to work with your suggestion but with a twist.
For the device to get into download mode you must have the USB Cable already connected to your phone and pc.
Odin detects device, will flash software later and give feedback

Hey, ok I tried all different stock firmwares - from earliest to latest and all result with same error state as per the original post.

Is there anything else we can try or is this now just an expensive paperweight

I have tried, but as suspected OEM Lock is still Active and there is currently no way of disabling it, as I do not have access to the main os.
Im sorry, if you used Odin and unchecked auto reboot, you have to hold power and down for 10 seconds, then immediately hold volume down and power for recovery then boot to system. If installing twrp that is. That screen doesn't change after a flash with auto reboot off. I'd reflash and reboot to recovery from what I'm seeing
Or
If your good with wires you can short pins 4 and 5 using 333k resistor and plug into phone, it'll get you to download mode
Same Exact Problem
literally the same exact problem / symptoms.
It happened to me immediately after an automatic system update
it seems to me that the aftermarket screen somehow lost full compatibility.
i used odin and also tried installing all the available updates and they were successful but issue remained
please let me know if you come up with a solution i will do the same if i find one.

Can anyone help us?
