[Q] death fone after apdate firmware

Hi, yesterday I played with my phone. I had CM9 stable version, but I wanted some new kernel. I downloaded semaphore for my phone and rom and tried to instal it. but after turning my phone on I saw only rebooting animation for about 20 minutes. I tried to use my backup (made in CWM), but it does not wotk. it happened the same thing (looong boot animation). I tried one more time to restore my backup, but it was worse. In recovery I didnt see any card(some error with mouting it). I tried via Odin flash new rom(official in my country), but after it I see only boot animation of Samsung,see the big S,after a few seconds is my screen black, only in irregular intervals my phone vibrates and soft key lights.
I can see download and recovery menu. In Odin I am unable to see my device, so I can not try to flash another rom.
Can somebody help my, or at least say me, whats happen,please?
(sorry for my language,but google translator cant make miracles and my language skills are not very good)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
need to know what is your phone model . Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
you can get a rescue kit from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions
use only ROM and solution for your model
(Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.)

[Q] The bricked Droid PRO details

Yesterday I installed a custom rom
Today I flashed the verizon stock rom to see if that solves the problem (I've done before without any problem, first making a wipe data). But when the process is complete, the phone is stuck at bootscreen logo droid (not at M logo).
I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and did a wipe data.
Then the phone does nothing. I clicked on the Android but nothing happens. I´ve tried making wipe data lot of times but nothing happens. I´ve also tried to flash with 2.3.3 rom (I have 2.3.4) but nothing hapens too.
I can´t turn on debbuging usb mode because of this, so I can´t run a full wipe with ADB. Also, I don´t have any recovery mod or something like that.
Bootloader and stock recovery work both fine. So I think that this an exclusively software issue, but I don´t know how to resolve it.
There is any way to turn on the debbuging usb mode without using Android? Or there is any way to make a full wipe with ADB in this condition? Or what else could I try?
PD: Also tried to make an update of kernel and rom via SDcard, but I always get a signature error.

can't fix my galaxy grand prime (dpi + no recovery)

it's been a week that i'm searching for a solution and i couldn't find anything and even any thread that could solve my situation probably becouse it's specific and with various weird problems.
frist of all i have a rooted rom for the SM-G531FX (android 5.1.1) and i can't remember wich model was before rooting it but i was a very similar code changing probably from G531FX to G530F?. but everything was ok i rootend my phone with no problem.
the real problem started like this:
i've changed the dpi of my phone using Root Essential changing it from 240 to 180.
immediatly after changing it the screen became with only the default background and nothing else, no icons, no notification bars, nothing, just a popup that said "unfortunately settings has stopped working".
the only thing i could do was swithing off the phone, (obviously the "reset" "switchoff" "airplane mode" was at loer dpi)
restarting it changed nothing and the phone still remain with the background with only the possbility of swithing it off.
the volume popup won't display but i could tell that the phone still works perfectly under the display becouse i recived messages (from telegram and whatsapp not normal messages becouse i couldn't use the display so i can't put the pin code to enter the phone so i removed the simcard) and also the volume controllers works.
so i decided to searching how to change the dpi from the pc.
i found that Adb could do it so i plugged in but unfortunately not worked, the phone remained in "unauthorized" state and i could not change the build.prop.
i started panic a bit so i wiped the cache from recovery mod.
After doing it i realized that i did a big mistake, now i can't connect usb in debug mod becouse of that.
i decided to reflash the rom i had use to rooting it thinking that could solve the problem.
midflashing odin had an error and the rom din't finished, it was stuck and i unplugged the phone from the pc and obviously the phone gave me an error in download mod (don't remember the error but was the one talking about Kies to solving the problem)
panic increasing couse i never had those types of problems.
i decided to flash the rom in Bootloader instead of AP in odin, that solved the problem of the error (later i found out that even in AP would have solved the problem)
i thought that wiping everything could have been the solution at that point so i restarted in recovery the phone but i could not access it probably becouse the previous BL flash, the phone stay with the Galaxy grand prime logo and on top in red "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". well done me
so i thought about reflashing a stock rom and found a rom w ww. sam mobile. co m / firmwares/galaxy-grand-prime/SM-G530FZ/WIN/download/G530FZXXS1BQC2/131851/ that pretty much fits my phone as i remembered the phone model, it was also an italian rom (i'm from italy) and with my very same phone company (WIND).
and finally odin fail flashing the rom so i remain with a phone with no acces to recovery, that boots normally but can't use the display becouse of just a value.
hope you could help me
thanks

Try to flash stock ROM of your phone with AP on Odin and the problem will be gone

Messed up everything first of all remove backcover and find what exact model it is..and find if you can go to download mod

Black screen in custom recovery even after flashing stock firmware

Hi people, I was trying to add lte band to my g530h xxu with Xenon hd rom (it didn't work at the end). First, I used efs tools to access to the modem connection. I used afterwards QPST and QXDM (QXDM didn't work xD) so after I had given up trying to add the new bands. I decided to undone everything restoring a back up I have done before starting. when I started I noticed that while restoring some parts (boot partition) didn't complete with the Mb that where supposed to be restored, but the phone kept working. I wasn't receiving signal after that so I used odin to install this firmware G530HXXU2AOC2_G530HODD2AOA1_G530HDDU2AOA1_HOME.tar everything seemed ok until I flashed the recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-fortuna3g.img.tar. I started receiving "could do not do normal boot" and it showed the download mode, but it wasn't recognized by odin xDDD, with the normal key combo it still works. I tried flashing the lollipop version TWRP_2.8.7.0_Lollipop, I think the other one was not for that firmware xD. Now it is showing a grey screen (it is turned on) and if I press the home button it brightens a little but that's all.
I rooted it using king root, and then I flashed the recovery using the TWRP app, maybe it could work, but it didn't as well xD.
I'd really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction maybe I'm missing something or there is a magic file that I can push through odin to solve the problem. I really miss my customized cellphone, I had an xperia z2 but it got broken so im starting to optimize this one. its my hobby. anyway I messed it up somewhere and I dont know what to do to recover it(the recovery).
Summary
-tried restore from back up
-flashing firmware through odin
-using TWRP app
What I've been receiving
-black screen (turned on)
-message "could not do normal boot" with download mode interface
the phone still boots into android normally, with signal and everything
any idea is welcome

nevermind xD

Constant restarts

Hello
Since this morning my Note 3 has died. I went to turn it on and it did not go beyond the initial Samsung boot screen.
I have already tried almost everything:
- Enter in recovery mode and make wipe dalvik and cache
- Enter in recovery mode and make wipe factory reset
- Install a new ROM for Odin
When Odin finishes, he gives me the PASS in green as all correct. I start the phone, enter the initial configuration screens, let me put the language, wifi, Google account but when the automatic configuration of the applications starts, it restarts and loops in trying to boot, but does not pass the Samsung logo.
I tried to install the ROM again, in case there had been any problems during the installation (despite giving the PASS in green), but it does not work.
The only thing I can think of is to put another type of ROM of those in which the option Re-Partition is marked, which I think is more exhaustive, but I'm not clear what kind of ROMs those are.
I would appreciate any help with the ROMs with Re-Partition, or any other suggestion that you could give me, to see if I can resuscitate it.

Are you performing a factory reset after flashing a stock ROM with Odin and before the phone boots the stock ROM for the first time?

but when the automatic configuration of the applications starts, it restarts
Reads as an app or something is the problem .

Thank you very much for your responses. After searching a lot, I found a ROM of 4 files + PIT. After installing it, the phone works correctly.
