I Think I Bricked My 8125

I was installing a new rom and my laptop shut down at 98% done. Now my 8125 will only come on in boot loader. PLEASE HELP!!! ASAP

Try to reflash your current ROM, start the flashing thru the Bootloader Screen..you're still lucky you still got the bootloader UP.Hehehe
Goodluck

I'm trying that. it started to work once but then my fing laptop shut down again at 98% again. I think there is something with that rom. Now I'm trying to flash with original rom but it is telling me that it is not connected now.

Ok, try to re-download the ROM installer again..if still fails, try to load the ROM thru MiniSD, that would be the last option you got if all still fails.

ya u can try to download also a dif rom installer or try it on a dif computer

I don't think you're in the bootloader mode when you try. The screen should be three colored and when connected to USB it should say USB at the bottom of the screen.
As mentioned before. You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.

OK, I think there's been a miscommunication.
1.) Download the RUU
2.) Get into bootloader mode (You get to bootloader mode by pressing the camera button when turning device on.)
3.) Connect your phone to your Laptop or PC
4.) Execute the EXE ON YOUR LAPTOP OR PC and follow instructions.
That's what we're trying to say. Hope it helps!

Remove your battery. Reinsert you battery. Holding camera button press the On button. That should put you in bootloader mode. Everytime I've been this bad (and it happens every so often with the weird ROM's I screw with) I have to use the 1.05, nothing else works.
Good luck!

Magic stuck in boot loop! HELP!!

I have a rooted Rogers magic and dont know what happend...but its stuck in a boot loop. All it gets to is the "HTC MAGIC" screen and then the out of box image shows up and then it restarts and does this again and again.
I cant enter recovery or fastboot. ive tried the diff key combinations to boot but nothin works.
ANy help!!???

If you can't get into a recovery, or fastboot from my understandings you now have a very expensive paper weight.

Mine did the same, randomly or because i pressed some combination the phone booted again. Sometimes pressing backspace i enter the menu, pressing home+power... nothing.
One or two times pressing home+power enters the menu and then reboots by itself.
Any ideas?

It's happened to me once.
Does anything come up with your computer?
Can you access adb?
Try removing the battery then hold down the menu button.
While still holding menu put the battery back in.
The phone should start up. Keep holding the menu button until you are blue in the face (or for about 30 seconds or so) or until the phone boots.
If that doesn't work try the back button instead of the menu button like above.
If THAT doesn't work... then find a stack of papers and place them in front of a fan. Place your phone onto the stack of papers and let it sit...
Or try calling your provider because you might still be under warranty.

ok guys it on now.
Its working but for some reason it wont read my sd card :S
turns out my bro flashed a recovery he shouldnt hav so it kept rebootin evenwhen i tried entering recovery. i erased it thinkin that ill flash a new recovery...but it wont recognize my sd card. ive tried 3 diff cards...but nothin works.
even in the rom, i get the notification: "SD Card has been removed. Insert a new SD card to increase your device storage."
i cant get the card to work HELP??
........how do i even flash anything without the card?

You can flash through fastboot
Sent from my Epic myTouch 3G using XDA app.

Flash through fastboot like he said and it should read your SD card with a new ROM.

any links to a tutorial on how to flash through fastboot??
thanks in advance!!!

It you have bootloop - remove battery you turn phone off. Wait a few minutes and place battery back.
Then try flash turn phone on by pressing and holding Back + Power (fastboot-mode)
Write first five rows here (all symbols are important).
It you will have problems, try to load phone into other modes:
Home + Power - recovery-mode
VolumeDown + Power - hboot-mode

Too bad
It seems like phone flashed by faulty hboot or radio (uncompleted download or something else)
Try disconnect phone from pc or adapter and remove battery for 10-15 minutes
May be it cancels this process.
To restore phone you need to run hboot-mode or fastboot-mode - if you don't then only JTAG can help

When i bootup the phone the Samsung Galaxy S logo comes up.
After then animated S whit the sound comes, stays for a long time, then the screen becomes black. If i touch the touchbuttons they start to light but no more.

okay, then that means your phone is ON
the problem is either a bad flash, or you might just need to go into RECOVERY MODE to clean up the data, and clean up the cache

Dosent work, and no i cant come in to downloader either
Nothing works for me

there is maybe another hope
it will require to use a ADB on a batch file
open notepad
copy and paste this into notepad
:retry
adb.exe reboot recovery
GOTO retry
save it as
fixsgs.bat
but before you can run it, you will need to download ADB if you don't already have it
instruction are similar to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7538723&postcount=2
the idea is to hook up your partially disabled phone to the USB turn it on and hopefully
the looping adb.exe reboot recovery can kick in when windows detects it for a fraction of a second when you plug in the USB device.

Hello,
I got SGS from o2 same issue tried every trick mentioned on internet but still stuck at same point (After Galaxy logo then animation and S sign.... Freezeeee)
Is there any hope?
Or any other way?
Help!

I know this isnt what you wanted to hear.
But if you've tried ADB and it still comes up with Device Not Found
I'm afraid you're only hope may be to take it back to retailer and claim ELF (Early Life Failure). Tell them you were upgrading firmware and it bricked and your phone doesn't have three button boot functionality.
Good luck

agree, if you can't get into the download mode, then the only fix is to send it back to the repair shop for an exchange

Well, I suggest you to try VillainROM 2.1. You will have to flash cf-root (the version of it has to be the same as the version of your current f/w), connect your phone to pc and get the VR 2.1 into your sd card then power off your phone, volume up + power + home button - do a full wipe - choose to install a zip from sd, flash villain and you will be fine..hope so. If you get stuck @ any point, you can scream for help cuz I will be here to support you mate

Forgot to get you this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 It might help you though.

The main problem right now is I can't reboot my GSII so I can't do anything now.
Do you have any suggestion?

Just tell me one thing: is your phone powered on and is stuck? You can't do anything? Even if you pull out the battery and get it back, wont boot or what exactly?

Try to enter download mode (volume down + power button + home button) and flash with odin a stock rom.

The main problem now is I can power on my GSII so I can't enter any download mode and recovery mode.
I don't know how to do now and please help me, thank you.

Just power off your phone. If doesn't work by the power button, pull out the battery. When the phone is powered off, press the 3 buttons same time and you will enter download mod.

Sorry for my typo mistake, now I can't power on my GS2 so I don't know how to enter to download mode

You dont have to power on your device to enter download mode. Just push VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, POWER BUTTON and HOME BUTTON in the same time. Then, push volume down to enter odin mode. After that, connect your cable to your device and press start in odin (before that, dont forget to put the stock f/w into PDA in Odin)

My GSII still no response and I think the row is dead and can't bootup so how can I do? Tks brother

So after your flashing width odin did odin say pass or complete?
You may still be able to get into download mode but just not see it,
When you hold the key combination then plug it into odin and see if it comes
Up with the yellow box that tells your if your device is connected.
edit : so you hold power, volume down and home then you have to press up to enter download mode, after this plug it in to odin and see if you can see the phone.

There is no response after boot my phone and it hasn't say pass or complete.
Then the phone can't open again and I don't know how to do now, please help.

[Q] SM-N900W8 stuck in bootloop after flashing with odin!!!

This has probably been mentioned before...but I will try anyways. I tried galaxynote3root*dot*com/galaxy-note-3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-3/ but it didn't work. Then I tried CF-Auto-Root-hltecan-hlteub-smn900w8 and it put my phone in a permanent boot loop and says recovery is not seandroid enforced!!! This is my work phone so I really hope someone can help.:crying:

So it says that about recovery and then what? You must give more info.
But I'll save you the trouble.
Go into download mode and flash stock firmware and start over. Do not use cf auto root this time. Lets get your device working. I can easily help you but you must follow my direction

I don't think download mode can be messed up unless in a very serious instances.
Just to make sure, here's how to access download mode;
- remove battery and put back in but don't press power
- press Vol Down + Power + Home Button all at the same time until the warning message appears on the screen, then let go of all the buttons
- press Vol Up to enter download mode

Actually I tried DL mode right after hey_joe mentioned it just to see if I missed anything but it didn't work. I had tried it before as well but figured why not try it again. Both recovery and download modes are inaccessible. The only things I have done are the 2 processes I mentioned above, then I tried to get into DL (power, home, volume down) but no warning message came up...it just rebooted. and recovery mode (power home and up) a few times but got frustrated after it kept simply rebooting. I finally called a Telus tech support and they told me to try kies but it won't even detect the phone at all.
If I send this in will they be able see that I messed with the phone and void the warranty?

Like I said, you can easily get into download mode by using a jig so they would see knox tripped ( if yours was ) and also the custom system not to mention that when you power it on, it will show " Seandroid enforcing, etc... ). So yes I'm guessing they might charge you for an easy fix.

replace *dot* with . and it become a hyperlink. I used that tutorial and then when I restarted my phone after I saw that it didn't do anything i then did CF Autoroot. Then after everything was done I got the error and am unable to boot into download or recovery.

Try to remove battery & wait about 30 minutes.
Then put it back & press power. It works for me one week ago with the same issue.
Sorry my english

Disconnect the usb cable and then battery pull. I had the same problem. If u battery pull while thr usb cable is plugged in it is still getting power.
Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda app-developers app

I had the same problem. Pull the battery out and in again and press vol down, home and powerbutton till you get in download mode. Then volume down to restart phone. It will restart as normal.
The solution of this warning for me was to try different Odin (where the box is yellow instead of blue) and install CWM recovery.
