Before I go into the detail, I did follow the link for recovery. My problem started when I decided to flash a new rom Task650 10. I was on Task650 7 version rom and downloaded and followed the steps, it booted up normally and then froze up and started the boot loop process. I had this in the past and was able to use the steps with APX and load the bootloader and the CWM recovery. Now I cannot get it to work. when I load the CWM recovery it does not do anything just boots to the charging screen? I also tried to ODIN recovery method. I put the tab in download mode but Odin does not see the tab, no comm port comes up within the ODIN. Not sure what is going on I've done this in the past so only thing I can think is my PC changes or maybe the cable is acting up? I am running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit AMD.
If there is anything i missed or something else i could try I would appreciate the input.
Thanks
Update: Problem was with my PC, Switched to a laptop and all is well. Phew

Hello everybody,
i´m new here and have a great problem on my Galaxy S I9000.
I hat Android 2.2 installed on that device and wanted to install Cyanogenmod by this guide (cant post links)
The Problem i had was i couldn´t get into the downloadmode or recoverymode (Volume up/down, home and Power button)
So i made it with the Android SDK (adb reboot download) to get into the downloadmode.
Once I was there i made the part with the heimdall flash --kernel zImage.
In the end it said the Installation was succesfully and rebootet the Phone. Now it always reboots and only shows the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen and then restarts.
Notice, i didnt do anything else instead the things above (no rootet phone, no flash or something like this). I also had problems installing Android 2.3 with Kies on this device so i tried it with 2.2.
Is there a chance for me to get the phone back to stock? If i connect the USB to the PC it sounds like it detected the device, but then it restarts.
If i only stick in the USB cable to the PC without booting the device a round loading screen apears but stock.
Odin also dont show up anything. Is there anything i can do? Thank you.

For USB Connection issues try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571
For recovery try to Flash Rescue kit for i9000 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29331775&postcount=1
Sounds like you flashed kernel only, so the proper system is missing.
Try to get into download mode again, and flash a complete ROM (kernel, phone, csc, database, pit512, repartition...) using Heimdal or Odin. Search sammobile.com or the forum to get the ROM/version you need/want (if stock is your choice, use the 3-files-firmware).
If you want to install CyanogenMod, you'll need to get into recovery mode and install the CyanogenMod.zip from here.

ok so i have a pretty big problem and very minimal experience with flashing and rooting. Reading and studying many many forums i have peiced together what i have done wrong to do brick my tablet. So to begin a few days ago i managed to wipe my stock recovery and flashed a non existant one, reason being is i didnt download a recovery and unzip it in the required folder. the following day i had it rooted, that was successful. i installed an app from the android market which required root access and a reboot. It is now in bootloop on the "Asus Inspiring Innovation Persistant Perfection" Recovery results in the "Dead Andriod" screen. i have tried flashing using easy flasher but i cant get into APX mode to do so. if i exicute apx mode and plug the usb into the pc i dont get a response, but if have the cable already plugged in and exicute apx i hear chimes and i get "win 7 apx drivers not installed" i tried easy flasher and successfuly flashed WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher asus stock rom however it still stuck in bootloop. i tried the recovery feature that came with easy flasher but that still result in bootloop when i boot from recovery. i have tried many recovery mods and none seem to work. im doing something wrong i just need someones help getting me out of this i dont want to make anymore mistakes. i have done enough damage. im taking this as light as possible, im a noob i watched the xda noob video and i read a t101 guide on a thread here on this website. many thanks for caring about a strangers issues.

Try this:
Open page with EasyFlasher
Download EasyFlasher
Restart your device into APX (power off than power on while holding volume up - screen will turn black and it will look like off)
Connect your tablet to windows computer. If you already have APX drivers just continue with next step. If don't, windows probably show you info that they didn't find proper driver. Just download APX driver (link on Easy Flasher page), open device manager on windows, right click on APX (it will have exclamation mark next to it) and choose update driver and select manual location to location where you extracted apx drivers.
Download the latest ASUS stock firmware (link also on Easy Flasher page)
Choose Flash Asus stock zip / Unbrick and select location of downloaded stock
When finished, click on flash button in Recovery area.
reboot and pray

Please search for similar threads. This same issue is being posted over and over and over again. When you were making this post, what "similar threads" or "similar topics" showed up? Did you check them for a solution?
yes sorry i looked at all of them and they all involved well just flashing the stock rom but i cant get my computer to see my gs4 on download mode...i got the drivers and odin installed.
Well, this thread has a couple of ideas...

You might also want to look at the TWRP thread in the development section.
Try again to get into recovery, the key sequence can be tricky, make sure you are doing it just right. "Doing it just right" has been discussed many times.
Also, look at this thread, maybe it will help...

Yea, I realize that thread is about MF3, but it still has ideas that might help you.
There are also a ton of threads about how to get your PC to recognize ODIN.....search.......good luck.
yeah ive been at it for hours man those links can all access the recovery i cant... i tried everything got the drivers up tried all the odins and its just stuck on "downloading do not turn off target" and my pc doesnt see it...
Odin finally recognized it on the pc in download mode and i was able to flash the stock rom but it seems it wasnts successful...it still just vibrates and vibrates when i press the power...

Take battery out, back in, power+volumedown, download mode, Install Samsung Kies, do Kies update, connect to PC, Tools-> firmware initialization, take battery out and type model/serial Number, wait patiently until it finishes.
Try different USB port or different PC. Use stock USB cable comes with original box.
If Kies screen get stuck at model number section, you did flash MF3 triangle thingy -> unsolveable brick. Have to go thorugh warranty replacement.

I am sorry to start a new thread but I have been reading threads and trying things now for over 7 hours straight. I have bricked my mothers A500.
I installed Skrillex V8 bootloader to my own tablet with Thor 1.7.3 recovery and a CM10.2 rom, everything worked fine. My mother liked how my tablet had way more battery and seemed faster then her own so she asked me to do it to hers.
I did everything the same except I had deleted the files and had to find a different bootloader so I found the "lightspeed" version of Skrilex V8 and as it seemed to just be a re-skin figured it was fine.
I downgraded to the unstable 3.0.2 build then installed iconia root and a Thor recovery via acer recovery. I then installed the lightspeed bootloader via thor with intentions of then installing the newer thor and rom after.
This is where im stuffed, after installing the new bootloader it is screwed. I cannot enter recovery or boot the primary kernal. I attempt to enter fastboot and although the tablet goes into fastboot it outputs errors and has random lockups and freezing on the tablet which the computer identifies as it being disconnected.
I have tried searching the forums for an answer and have tried everything I can understand but I am truely boned. As I am writing this I am installing packages to my Ubuntu laptop so that I can obtain the UID through the terminal in hopes it will work with APX and blackthunders tools.
If I cannot get it working I will simply wipe and give my mother my tablet, But I would really like to try and get this son of a ***** working again. I am currently incredibly annoyed at it and am probably missing something obvious. Please help me.
[UPDATE 1]
I have managed to obtain my CPUID and thus my SBK through the method described here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751978
I am still unable to use any tools as my PC will not recognize it in APX mode, I have reinstalled the drivers, restarted, tried multiple USB ports, uninstalled the failed unrecognized device and started from scratch a few times and I just cant seem to get it to detect them. Also tried other USB cables incase it was iffy, checked contacts on ports. There also cannot be any env variable or reg conflicts as I used my diagnostic machine to check it and it booted into its clean OS.
the APX seems to work with my linux unit though, but the blackthunder tools are for windows...
[UPDATE 2]
Using the tutorial here ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444187
I made it boot into the APX mode with the yellow acer logo and the APX mode text at the top, however I left it for a while and it didnt seem to finish flashing, using lsusb I can see its still connected to the linux box but it is clearly not flashing properly.
I am going to leave it for a bit then try unplugging from linux and plugging into windows while in the yellow acer logo screen with verbose output and see if blackthunders tool detects it.
[UPDATE 3]
DO NOT try what i did in update 2, I believe i removed it when it was formatting the partition, it wont even boot to the bootloader now. black screen with white light on power button and cannot be detected as APX.
[UPDATE 4]
I treid a few more times at getting it into APX mode and it turns out its just being dicky and freezing randomly, however, by trying a few times (this is dangerous but i had nothing to lose at this point) to run the Nvflash script on my linux box eventually it run through and installed the v9 bootloader. This bootloader allowed me to go into Fastboot without the freezing or crashing or loss of communications i was experiencing before. I then using fastboot flashed a recovery appropriate to the v9 bootloader and am now using that to flash a 4.3 rom. This should completely fix all the problems.
I am now sure (as previously I could only guess that the problem was caused by a dicky install of the lightspeed bootloader (a custom variant of skrilex v8 designed to match the theme of the lightspeed rom).
[UPDATE 5]
Working

Can you extract the partition 4 using nvflash --rawdeviceread to a file and share to me? My A500 is bricked and cannot download to it. only --rawdevicewrite works.
Thanks!
Good evening! I hope you can help me.
I flashed LineageOS 14.1, but I wanted to go back to EMUI. I made all the wipes and tried to flash different stock firmwares through a forced update (volume buttons + power button), but it never worked. At that point, I read about a guy in this forum who suggested to create a flashable zip with Huawei Update Extractor: I followed the suggestion and tried to flash it with TWRP. No error was given, but when I tried to restart, TWRP told me I had no OS installed. I thought it was strange, so I tried to restart anyway. That's when I got in rescue mode. I can't get into the recovery and I can't use fastboot. What rescue mode shows me is:
RESCUE MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
Update User Guide:
*link*
*android avatar*
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Pressing the three buttons, I'm able to force an update. The problem is I can't find a firmware that doesn't get rejected. With Lollipop firmwares, it starts to install, but it fails at 12%. With Marshmallow ones, the installation process doesn't even start.
What can I do to make it work again? I'm very sad because this phone was gifted to me a couple of days ago and I already messed it up. I don't even know how to turn it off.
What can I do to get in fastboot mode? At that point, what should I do to flash the stock firmware? Or maybe do I need to find the first stock firmware ever installed into this phone to make the forced update work?
Please, I need help. Thank you in advance!
P.S. The phone's model is ALE-L21. I live in Italy, so I assume it's a European version.
Did you managed to fix this?

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I found out that the device is recognized by my PC if I follow these steps:
1. Connect the phone to the PC and wait for it to go in rescue mode;
2. Wait until the notification LED stops to blink;
3. Disconnect the USB cable;
4. Press volume - and power button;
5. Reconnect the cable.
At that point, the screen turns black and the phone is recognized as "㌲㔴㜶㤸". I installed the drivers and now it's recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I should be able to reflash the partitions and make my phone work again, but I'm still trying to understand how to do it correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

fastboot detects your device when you plug it into your computer?
I mean, if you run "fastboot devices" it shows your phone?
I've had this same problem but with an P8 Lite 2017, after flashing some ROM that supposedly was the stock one and trying to flash recovery I ended up with my phone bootlooping into rescue mode, I was able to "bypass" this thing rebooting my phone like crazy, seriously like after 20 reboot it finally booted into the damn ROM and I never touched the phone again. Sometimes when the phone ran out of battery and tried to power it on the phone booted into rescue mode and again after some reboots it booted to Android but now I want to install a custom ROM or at the very least root this damn phone so that's why I'm asking you if you have solved this, if you do then probably if I follow the same steps I would be able to fix that screen, hopefully.
If you are able to flash something start with flashing all recoveries your update.app has, maybe that's the problem (at least in my phone it is).

No, it doesn't show anything if I write that command...
I guess mine won't ever boot into the rom because it seems like there's no system installed. I made some researches and found out there are some softwares that let you reflash the partitions IF the phone is recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I'm still trying to figure out how to do it correctly though. I feel like if I do something wrong, then my phone won't probably turn on again.
In your case, you should be able to flash a custom rom without any issue. You just have to be very careful and inform you as much as you can: I don't want your phone to end up like mine?. Anyway, it seems pretty hard to go back to the stock rom, so think about it before you flash a custom rom. Also, make a Nandroid Backup is very important.
