I don't think I've bricked my phone, I hope you can help me. Done some reading here, but still a big time noob! Trying to flash back to stock for the Verizon upgrade, my phone is stuck on the screen with a gold triangle and a exclamation point in the center of a cell Phone and a computer. I found a thread with a similar problem. I can't seem to have a successful flash in odin. I keep getting a fail when i flash the test file. I would be content if I could just get the phone to boot and have my Miunia Rom working again. Someone please help.

That means you have no kernel our rom in the phone. Not sure what this "test file" you are trying to flash is, but I'm not surprised its failing. Flashing dl 17 should work. If not, flash the ec07 leak, with the proper pit file, repartition unchecked. Then flash dl17.
Dished out by my dumb digits
now it's worse, I hit the dark abyss
So, I flashed(with odin) the clean Eco7 stock with with the correct pit file. It seemed to be doing fine, it got all the way to recov.bin but then I froze there for about an hour. At this point i didn't think it was going to pass anyway so i unplugged the phone and stopped the program(oops?). Now my phone is even worse, it seems lifeless. The phone won't even go to down load mode. I found on another post where someone else was also getting nothing, no power just blackness, and I followed those directions. Still a black screen. It seems more grim than ever! One thing I have noticed that while attempting to flash, a few times my computer completely rebooted. Out of know where! This has happened about 5 or 6 times. I'm just about ready to turn on my old flip phone but I just don't want to give up yet! Any more suggestions?!
Oops, is right. You may have hard bricked yourself. I've tried helping people out of this one before, with no sucess. That is the reason I told you to make sure repartition was unchecked. You can try to power on, and issue an adb command, if you have it installed. But, I doubt it will work. The reason you don't have download, at this point, is because you don't have a secondary bootloader on your phone, anymore. It turns into a catch 22. Download mode is supposedly hard written on the chip. So, you could use a jig to force it into download mode. I'd say that that is your best bet, at this point.
did uncheck repartition
I did uncheck repartition but obviously with no avail. I Will try the"jig" but I don't know anything about it. Is this a file I can download or what?
No matter what happens, thanks soooo much for the efforts to help me!!! Especially wolf??
No. A jig is a piece of hardware. Do a youtube search for 'download mode jig' and you''' get some good hits. You'd have to construct it, or get ahold of some of the devs that have. I don't recall the name, but one dev made one for the Fascinate. I'd imagine it would work for our phone too.
If anyone can remember who it is (I want to say Adam Outler, but I might be wrong) pipe up.
Hi all,
Long story short, I accidentally bought a Kindle Fire HD 7. I was hoping to root it but I've had nothing but difficulty. Can anyone help me with the things below? ** Please don't reply if you can't - the disorder and unmoderation of this forum is part of the confusion problem **
- The apps that are given on this site mostly don't work for 7.2.3. Is this an issue with the version?
- I kept getting permission denied errors. Nothing that pushes over, pushes successfully - yet it says it does
- When I finally got something "rooted", my status bar and home bar (at the bottom) are all gone. I can pretty much do nothing with it
- I can't figure out how to restore. I can get into FastBoot mode fairly easily, but when I try to do anything I get "waiting on device" errors. Any ideas?
- I'm a Mac guy, but running Windows 7 to do this. I've tried various versions of drivers posted on the board, but W7 is just a PITA to work with. When it goes into Fastboot, it comes up as an "unrecognized device" in Device Manager. Would this be part of the problem? I've tried to associate drivers with the unknown device, but it keeps saying the driver it has is the best (even though I've removed it).
And while I admit, an emotional rant after spending way too long having to do the above..:
- This forum is a complete mess.. can people with KF HD 8.9's get out of the forum and quit replying or giving advice on the wrong device? Mods, please shut down or move KFHD 8.9 posts. For people trying to find out info, it's seriously a mess.

Ok what is the state of your KFHD? 7"? I would try to use this toolhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 to restore your kindle and getting back to a working state. If you have any questions post them in here or that forum and I will try to guide you through anything. You should not try to use an automated root tool if it isn't for your specified version(7" 7.2.3) and using a automated tool, I think personally, is just not good in general. What does the device manager specifically say when you are in fastboot? It shoulde look like this:
Thanks for getting back to me. I have indeed also tried that, but I encounter the Fastboot problem mentioned above. I can get it into FB mode fine, but when I go to do anything, it gets stuck at "waiting for device". I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?
I'm using Windows 7 (gah)... just for the purpose of this. Believe me, it reminds me why I've left Windows looonngg ago
PS All automated tools were specific to my model and version #.. i wouldn't do otherwise.
And I forgot to say, it shows the yellow triangle warning signs.
I have however installed all the right drivers that I got on various places on the forums. Any ideas why it's doing that? (USB debugging/ADB is enabled of course)

Try to reinstall the appropriate drivers.. first uninstall the ones you have now then reinstall.. if you have the yellow triangle in device manager the drivers are not installed correctly
I've tried that.. not sure what I need to do now. (I hate Windows)
The drivers appear fine when not in Fastboot (ie regular ADB) just not when in Fastboot

You do know that ADB and Fastboot are different.. Correct? They are two different cmd lines to execite comds to your kindle..does your kindle boot? What is its state? what are you seeing or does it even run at all>
I thought I made this clear in other posts, sorry
My Kindle boots fine normally, but in my attempts to root it, it's screwed something up (my menubar doesn't appear). I wished to restore it using the tool above.
I can get it into Fastboot, but I can't actually perform any actions due to it saying "waiting for device". Most ADB functionality works fine, i.e. to push apps. But I also can't get it rooted.
My issue is that when it is in Fastboot...not when it's not. That is what I'm trying to figure out.

Have you tried Kindle Fire First Aide tool and the restore option of you version?
Yes, I have.
And my issue remains - when in Fastboot mode, it also gets stuck on "waiting for device".
When normal boot, ADB functions are fine. It communicates.. things happen
When in fastboot (I have a WordArt looking 'fastboot' logo on the screen) then nothing appears to communicate, and my Device Manager claims it has an "Unknown Device" that it wont let me manually install drivers for.
Windows 7 is x64 if that makes a difference

Try a factory reset on the device and if that doesn't work go to Chris's thread, KFFirstAide and post your problems that you having with the software. He will help you figure out if something is wrong with your device or its the software. I would think its user related, in the nicest way possible. A lot of times we get are selves all worked up over this stuff and forget to specific steps, I am guilty as well. Maybe take a step back for a few hours and then give it another shot.. Sorry I couldnt help more but I currently don't have my KFHD bc I just got a new one shipped to me and still waiting for it to arrive.. If i had my device in front of me I would probably be able to find you a solution.. Its been three weeks since I have seen a Kindle and my memory is vanishing
How do you propose I do a factory reset?

So I got it restored; I had to execute the app open in adb to get into Settings. Still can't figure out how to get the Win 7 to recognize it in Fastboot mode.. I just get "waiting for device"

Do you mean you get that when you select the option to reboot into fastboot mode, or that you are already on the fastboot screen but nothing is happening?
I had the exact same issue with missing status bar and softkeys, cazy annoying. So hopefully I can remember exactly what I did, depending on your answer to my question though
In regular mode, I had missing status bar and softkeys. I restored factory settings (by using adb to get into the settings screen). They are now back.
Now, I have it rooted (well, I have Superuser loaded at least and it appears to be working)... but that is all. It still feels half-done to me.
With the FirstAide tool I'm getting into Fastboot and then I was going to use it to restore it using the Restore Tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951254
But it doesn't work.. I can load into the Fastboot screen (wordart logo) but it doesn't connect to the device... I just get "waiting for device" and that's where it stops. The WIndows 7 PC I'm using just says that an unknown device has connected and leaves it there.
Ideally, I wish to load Google Play etc, but I can't do that using the First Aide tool. It throws a lot of permission denied errors at me.. reboots several times, says it has been successful but none of the apps are there.
Ideas? I feel like I'm getting closer... perhaps..!
Have you tried running a app that needs root and seeing if the "grant permission" window pops up when you run it. There is a root checker app that you could install from the Noobs Guide to rooting, which should do the trick. SUChecker.apk http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069117
If you have managed to get the UI bars back, how come you want to use the restore tool to reset the whole kindle?
If you root is working fine, and you want to install google play then follow the Alternative Manual Install from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 instead of using the first aide tool, which seems to be giving a few issues at the moment.
Another random solution is make sure you are using a usb2 port instead of a usb3 port(if you have one)
Hi guys, Last night I accidently unplugged my phone while installing ClockWORKMOD recovery. Now when I boot my device it is stuck on the Downloading screen. I tried everything including the posts here but the Odin software doesn't see my phone and removing the battery and reinstalling does nothing. I even wiped the phone and factory reset via the clockwork... No Luck. It will not install the Crash ROM either. I get error 7.
It seems like I bricked the phone but I know there is always a way back to life. At least I hope. Any help guys would be great.

You need to properly install the correct drivers on your PC. There should be no reason that ODIN doesn't see your phone if they are installed correctly. A quick search of the forums should get you the proper drivers to install. You can also try Kies emergency recovery, but it is hit and miss. Good luck.
+1 if you can get into download you can Odin. Use the usb ports in the back of the pc. You might have to use a different computer also. For the life of me I can't get Odin on my pc to recognize the device but I have no problem with my laptop.

That's the thing, these exact same types of threads just keep rolling through one after the other...people don't search and they don't read. That's the reason they are in the situation they are in to begin with and it seems they just don't learn.
Fortunately, the AT&T S4 forum has come far enough along that the sticky threads and the threads like your guide can be linked for these people to put a little time into finding a solution for themselves. Most of them don't like it (they want it done for them), but if it is all they get, they will finally have to do something the right way on their own.
Actually, a few people are thankful for being pointed in the right direction, but most are still pissed because it means they have to do what they should have done in the first place...follow XDA rules, use the search function, and read. If you don't do everything for them and hand it to them on a plate they call you names and say you are a ****, unhelpful, etc... I just laugh about it because it becomes clear why their phone is F'ed up in the first place. The thing is, sometimes you just can't help people. Just every now and then, someone comes along that needs help and is willing to do things the right way.
You can NOT have kies drivers and samsung drivers loading at the same time, I do not use kies at all, and my pc has NEVER gave me a issue yet using odin, including in my G3 days. uninstall that worthless kies and proceed. If you have to use kies, load it as needed then remove it.
And as always with the lovely microsoft windows, after you un-install anything you have to reboot, for it to work properly.
Linux is my BUD!
Hi guys, every time I flash my phone it doesnt seem to do anything. It just reboots up with stock rooted stock firmware. I dont know what I am doing wrong. I have used odin, mobile odin, twrp, cwm and still I cant get anything to work. i have tried to flash pacman, google play edition and several others with no affect. i am completely stumped

Try flashing Philz Touch recovery, its the most stable recovery imo. Available for both the I9500 and I9505.Flash the .tar file with Odin in PDA.
I keep getting the message e signature verification failed. i have used auto root. i have enabled usb debugging. i have done everything in the steps of the rooting process and flashing process.
Slight progress
So I downloaded CWM recovery again and toggled off signature verification and I successfully managed to install my ROM. New porblem now, when I reboot the device it goes straight back to recovery mode every single time? Help please?
Hi - so I dont know if you guys think Im being stupid and/or lazy and havent found the right thread or if I am just asking a stupid question. If I am would someone kindly point me in the right direction and forgive my ignorance. If I am not being stupid can someone PLEASE help me with an answer. I have posted on several forums with this question and no one seems prepared to offer a solution. This is by no means a rant at forum members - I just hate being defeated by technology - and I have waited a week now for someone to offer me some much needed guidance.
Hi everyone, I've searched and tried some solutions for this but the problem is the display is permanently black, not even samsung logo is displayed on bootup.
My GT-i9505 has a CWM recovery installed and a custom ROM, and today it notified me that SU Binary needs to be updated, so I updated it and it said Success, recommend to reboot, which I did.
It seemed to boot up but the display was constantly black. Manually turned it off by holding down power button, then restarted but still nothing.
I have Odin and samsung drivers etc, just not sure if I should try and flash a stock/new Custom ROM from Odin or if theres an easier way to do it (maybe someone can guide me thru the CWM recovery and be my eyes since my screen is Black?)
Please and thank you.
First of all, you better switch to TWRP.
Second, maybe try flashing a SuperSU zip through the recovery.
If that doesn't work, then try dirty flashing your current rom again.

do you have a HDMI adaptor cable aka MHL adaptor or a chromecast type device at home ? it maybe that your screen has just died and that it's nothing to do with the binary (if it's booting normally albeit with a blank screen).

Good idea, I do have chromecast but will need mini HDMI cable/adaptor to check. Although it would be massive odds against random screen death, since it was immediately after reboot from SU binary.
Thanks for the intelligent reply, glad to see there are still some helpful people here.
if you can borrow a lead and your screen is being mirrored you can download an image file of TWRP and flash it with flashify from the store. I doubt screen mirroring works from the recovery
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
unzip the attached file and copy it to your SDcard then find it within the flashify app...
Awesome OK that gives me a starting point TY. When I connect the MHL adapter will it mirror automatically or will I have to try to blindly press the mirror symbol? I haven't used an MHL adapter/cable before. If it works then I'll use Flashify and hope it restores the phone screen.
if it's going to work it will work without any selecting of options, it's automatic...
If the you run out of solutions, you could flash a stock ROM back to your phone as this will bring the phone back to the factory settings; however, you will lose your data and installed apps.
If you decide to flash back to stock using Odin, I suggest launching Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect the phone in download mode, flash the rom, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds and replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset, and reboot. Be sure to use the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your phone.

Since you said you have CWM recovery and a rom installed I assumed you would knew how to flash stuff. Unless they were flashed by somebody else?
Anyway, flashing SuperSU.zip is as easy as googling for the zip then boot into recovery and flash the zip file.
Unless the recovery is dark too. Then that's a problem.
And flashing the rom again is done the same way. No need for TVs and chromecasts.
Theoretically, flashing the SuperSU.zip should work, as it replaces the binaries.
Flashing the rom should work too. Unless you have a dead screen. Then no software can fix it.
When you're using apps that modify system files things like this can happen. Something may have went wrong during the update.
@GDReaper he's already said "how can I even try that when there's nothing but blackness on my screen?" to your suggestion of flashing via recovery so MHL will help him
1) to see if the phone is running normal minus the screen
2) to replace CWM as you suggested without using recovery (which he won't be able to do even with MHL).

So I probably misunderstood him. He said it is booting and so I thought that, during the booting, the screen works, and only when you are about to go into the OS the screen is black (As it happened to me before). My bad.
If the screen is black during the whole process it means the screen is busted. And it was probably just a coincidence, as I don't really see how updating the su binaries can damage the screen.

Ok. Then it is definitely a screen problem. Changing software won't fix it.
You have to get a new screen.
I've tried the cable, no output to HDMI though. Phone is operating but in complete black screen from power on. Have tried to tap the screen mirroring button blindly (by touching all the top system buttons one by one) but no change. This leads me to think it is a software/firmware issue, somehow the SU binary has affected graphics output???
So my only chance now is try to flash using Odin? I have downloaded a new Custom ROM, ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.4-20160223-jfltexx but I think I can only flash that one using recovery which will be difficult blind, unless someone can give me precise button sequence. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what recovery I have on there, but I think it may be the touch version...
I flashed TWRP using Odin no probs, but still no use as screen is still blank from power on.
I was going to revert to stock first but sammobile.com downloads at only 15kb/s so I'm not waiting 2 days for that 1.5gb download.
Can someone please give me a link to a good download for my GT-i9505, that I can flash with Odin. I want a light Custom ROM but if not possible to flash from PC then I'll try stock first.
Thanks,
Hi guys, I have a similar problem. I had a notification saying I need to "Update the #SU Binary". There was issues with the update, it gave me the option of restarting or trying the update again. I selected to try the update again. It failed again and now the screen is black with constant error messages, saying "Unfortunately, Galaxy Apps has stopped", "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped". Pretty much the same error message recurring with every app that would normally run on start up, then the phone just reboots itself every 5 minutes after the error messages have all done a round. I am desperate to recover the data on the phone.

I was going to revert to stock first but sammobile.com downloads at only 15kb/s so I'm not waiting 2 days for that 1.5gb download.
Can someone please give me a link to a good download for my GT-i9505, that I can flash with Odin. I want a light Custom ROM but if not possible to flash from PC then I'll try stock first.
Thanks,

SamFirm should speed things up.

Hi guys, I have a similar problem. I had a notification saying I need to "Update the #SU Binary". There was issues with the update, it gave me the option of restarting or trying the update again. I selected to try the update again. It failed again and now the screen is black with constant error messages, saying "Unfortunately, Galaxy Apps has stopped", "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped". Pretty much the same error message recurring with every app that would normally run on start up, then the phone just reboots itself every 5 minutes after the error messages have all done a round. I am desperate to recover the data on the phone.

There isn't much you can do. Backup user data and factory reset.
