You should try that .
You do not just press Vol Down + Home + PWR you are missing a vital step that those who cannot see a touchscreen instructions will fail on .Namely once entering the first download screen Volume Up is then required to flash a rom .

Can i just say this.. if your phone has sudden death it will be replaced under warrenty custom rom or not.. if it is truly bricked there is no way to test firmware without jtag flashing the motherboard which would reset the entire board and cost more than a replacment board.
And thank you for this guide i was worried about loosing touch after modification

If anyone has subscribed to Erica's personal youtube channel you would know she flashed the CF-root for Note II and that ****ed up her screen so she replaced it herself (She is in the United States, no warranty anyway) but... don't flash the wrong kernel

if she buy it new i think she has still warranty on it even she is located in the US, she only void her warranty by repairing the phone by herself.
and i think she also created a thread here in xda and i posted to her thread.

after using the "Odin3 One-Click Downloader" my i9000 only loops the att logo on and off, recovery mode and download mode are no longer working... had anyone experienced this?
well this is f...ed up..... my i9000 was unbranded, and that one click crap must have flashed the captivate fw or smth, should i let my phone die in peace now?
There are different oneclick apps for different branded SGSs. Which one did you download? Sounds like you downloaded the AT&T version.
You have to boot your phone into download mode again to flash the correct ROM for your specific phone. There are many different ways to get the phone into download mode. Check the dev forum or instructions.

What untrusted source? He went into Captivate forum here in XDA to download Captivate stock ROM. What do you think the outcome will be?
it might cost you around $150 or so, if i remember reading a recent post about a guy replacing his mb too. I think he had the same problem as you.

could you find that post for me? i cant seem to find it myself...
well, so far, i've found out that by flashing the i9000 (unbranded) with a captivate FW remapped all the buttons except for the power button, so download mode or recovery mode is impossible via any button combination. But if the phone does show something on the screen, its still only semi-bricked, in my case, its stuck at the bootloader. its fixable with JTAG ... i hope the service i took it to has a jtag device and will reflash to the i9k FW. and it would only cost me 10$ for the repairs
who had a similar experience?
I had exactly the same problem, after updating my phone through kies which failed halfway through i downloaded odin which at the time i didn't know was the wrong one and not for the i9000. in the end i had to get a new phone.

were you under warranty? did you try to repair it ?
well my sgs is not fully bricked, it does not need a new motherboard... it just needs to be reflashed with jtag or smth >.<
a fully bricked (faulty) device would not turn on at all
allright, so just by flashing the phone with that one click odin crap, the repairs are going to cost me 250$
This Thread Is For Them Who Bricked There Phones
Don't start a new thread for your bricked phone & post here.
We will help you with every possible solutions.
Here are some quick tips :
(Here I'll use the terms like Download-Mode & Recovery-Mode, If you dont know what are they please click here. There "BOOT to RECOVERY" & "BOOT to BOOTLOADER" means how to enter into Recovery-Mode & Download-Mode respectively.)
A Bricked Phone May Have One or More (Below Problems) :
1. Booting to the ROM(Android) not possible.
2. Booting to the Recovery-Mode not possible.
3. Black screen or Bootloop(Repeated Restarting of Phone at Boot Animation or Samsung Galaxy Y Logo).
Possible Solutions :
(Remember there'll be data loss using these solutions so always try to keep a backup)
1. If you can still enter into Recovery-Mode
(a). Try to clear Data & Cache then check.
(b). Try Installing a Custom ROM using CWM(ClockWorkMod Recovery) & check.
(For Custom ROM & CWM Visit here.)
2. If Recovery-Mode didn't helped Enter into Download-Mode & flash an odin supported stock rom(using ODIN 1.84 or 1.85) from Doky73's Thread(Flashing Guide in 2nd post).
*You can inform me, if anything left out.
Note :
1. I'll be not held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

galaxy y bricked
i bricked my sgy last 3 weeks.
here's what i did.
-installed creedsix rom.
-installed UOT kitchen Themes.
-wipe data
problem
-stuck in bootlogo
-softbricked.
-cant go to recovery mode
-flashed too many times, still stuck in bootloop
i flashed at least 20 times, with different firmwares.
but still no luck, still boot lop.
my professor said something about secondary bootloader that might help. but i had definitely no idea what it is.
i asked some techies on the mall, and they said that this phone must undergo the JTAG process. but it cost $20.
help me. thanks.

can you go to download mode??
(try pressing volume down+ home button + power button all at the same time)
if it still can, then your SGY is still good
go to this ---> thread
and just flash your country's firmware
From where you got the firmwares.... How you flashed...
Ever tried re partitioning.... Ever flashed boot loader....
For info... Jtag or boundary-scan is used for testing & servicing high technology electronic boards...

this one will a little bit off topic...what is creedsix?is it a rom for SGY?
if the phone still can boot that means everything is fine. pull out the battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert the battery, do three magic combo button, you'll enter recovery mode. don't worry about our bootloader. our bootloader is stored in different partition thus installing any custom rom won't affect our bootloader. as far as i know, there is only one person who have messed up with bootloader and got an ultimate hard brick.

a hard brick is when our device doesn't respond to power button.
the guy that I've mentioned above is doky73. he accidentally flash a bootloader for sgs2 into his sgy. last time he said that he send his sgy to samsung service center and buy a new one. I'm not sure if samsung has revived his sgy.
edit: I didn't to offend him but I think I've mispelled doky's username. edited.

whatever It may be... You should never mess up with bootloaders, if you don't actually know what's there significance...
Brief description on android starting process :
pbl(primary boot loader "boot.bin") executes first and then it executes sbl ...
Sbl(secondary boot loader "sbl.bin") is responsible for responding to combos...download mode.. Intercepting odin commands..... booting system...booting kernel.... Charging your battery while switch off... Etc etc
Harm anyone of them... And Your phone goes into lifetime hibernation, Hard-bricked.

Hi to all, it's only my second post but i have a major problem with my samsung s-5360. it's won't boot anymore, but it can enter cmw and recovery. This is what i did wrong i believe. At first i installed morocs 1.8 kernel on creed fusion version 3.1 and it wouldn't boot anymore, so i ended up using a back-up i made before with cmw. And it worked well and phone was booting again and was on stock again. ( because back-up was made with stock-version obviously )
Then i thought: well let's try repensis noob version. And installed it and there was also an update 2 and installed it over it as well before booting the os, maybe this is what i did wrong dunno .. But afterwards it didn't boot anymore and whatever i tried, restoring one of the 3 images i made, or using one of the roms posted here like Creed fusion 3.1 rom or Aurora 2 nor Chobits didn't work.
I also tried reverting to stock with odin 1.85 but when i connected my phone via usb to the pc, odin didn't see my phone. ( after selecting the 3 tar files in odin ) Maybe i'm doing wrong something there.
What i also have to add is that when doing factory wipe in recovery it says formatted E: but unable to format E:\dev10 and dev11. clearing cache is no problem and also cleared dalvik cache. Can you please help me out ? I know, it sounds very noobish but well, i have to face it because can't do it myself without help anymore it seems ... Thanx a lot in advance.
please make sure that you've installed the driver and plug the usb to computer only on download mode when flash with odin. dev10 and dev11 are the partition for data and cache. that error means something was wrong with your recovery mode. you'll need to install a fresh stock rom with odin.

I was playing with different revisions of SBLs because on SGS2 some old SBL gives the possibility to reset custom bin counter via JIG. At a given point accidentally browsed SGS2 bootloader instead of SGY one...
But I did perfect job, the service center wasn't able to detect the cause of bricking, but they recovered my phone under warranty. (I think they're not reading this forum )

Hi, there i am and sry for disturbing you again or someone else but i managed to install a non kies usb driver and i'm flashing thru odin 1.85 right now but i'm stuck at BcmCP.img for over an hour .

Hey guys,
Just had the fantastic AMOLED breaking symptom of the Galaxy S4. I need to restore to factory TouchWiz so I can go in and get a replacement phone (I had rooted and flashed stock Android and am afraid they'll figure this out and refuse to give me a new phone despite the physical damage) so I desperately need screenshots/photos of the CWM Touch 6.0.3.2 options to restore a backup (the only one I have on the phone).
If there's any other way to do this please let me know.
Beyond that, since the screen appears to be getting progressively worse to the point where I just can't install anything, is there any way I can remove any evidence of root/flashing from the file system just in case?
Please help!
Thank you!

Honestly I'm even having trouble booting into recovery mode because I can't tell when the prompts are to let go of the power button, etc. Can't see a thing.
Any advice?
The wireless company has already agreed to ship me a new device and a return label with which I can return the old one (so I'll get my new phone before having to return the old one) but I still want to do this out of safety and respect.
Hate to be the one to tell u but as far as i know (anyone correct me if im wrong) everytime u flash a rom (dont know if rooting counts) its recorded on ur phone.u can undo this with triangle away, wich can be found at the same site where autoroot is.

just hold volume down first followed by home followed by power, wait for 7 seconds, release buttons, press volume up one time and you are in download mode, connect to odin and flash stock firmware. thats it.

hello everyone
i know that if i flash a kernlel unsuccessfully then i will lose my recovery mode
but i want to know if download mode will also be gone ie i wont be able to download mode
or it will open and recovery mode will not open
please reply fast/////////
download mode will still be available
the only risk to download mode is if you flash a firmware that is not meant for your phone

No problem. If you flash DDLK2 with Odin, you will not lose Download mode.
Download mode is lost means HARDEST brick.
It can happen if you mess with .pit or bootloader wrongly.
(It happened to XDA Recognized Contributor doky73 when he flashed Galaxy S2 bootloader)
(His device was never repaired)
In that case nothing can restore your phone, not even USB jig.
But JTAG may repair your device.

If on PC, use WinRAR/Winzip/7zip to open and check ROM.zip
If on phone use Root Explorer. (Simply click the ROM.zip)
If it contains META-INF, system, data (and/maybe) boot.img, (and/maybe) busyboxinstall it is safe.
# HERE BY SAFE I MEAN MAXIMUM IT CAN SOFT BRICK YOUR DEVICE, WHICH IS RECOVERED BY ODIN.
Bootloader is not replaced by Flashable zip in Galaxy y. So forget about it.
Bootloader is only replaced by odin.
*** I TELL YOU, DO NOT MESS WITH BOOTLOADER OR .PIT***
Result is hard-bricked device, not recoverable by Odin, USB Jig. Not recovered also by JTAG.
You must have to see those charming(!!!!!) Samsung Care Guys (Pun intended ) to repair such device.

*** I TELL YOU, DO NOT MESS WITH BOOTLOADER OR .PIT***
Result is hard-bricked device, not recoverable by Odin, USB Jig. Not recovered also by JTAG.
You must have to see those charming(!!!!!) Samsung Care Guys (Pun intended ) to repair such device.

You don't need to use Triangle Away now... You must press three buttons (home + power + volume DOWN) until a screen with a triangle shows, you press volume up to continue, then plug in your phone via USB (Of course to your PC) after the "Downloading..." screen appears.
Assuming you already have all drivers and stuff to listen from your USB connection, you then have to open Odin program to flash the firmware file you used to install KitKat. That's how you re-install your firmware.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To reset cache partition, you hold down home, power and volume UP this time, this is for entering recovery mode, when you see the blue "Recovery botting" at the top you can release all buttons now, then you go down to "Reset cache partition" and make sure you don't select "Factory reset" if you see a long list of "No no no no no no" then you're in the wrong area, and you MUST go back again.

Our Grand 2 doesn't have a KNOX WARRANTY VOID bit. Don't worry.
But this will be important if rooting a S4 or a Note 3 or above.

Because it shows annoying notifications saying:
Unauthorized changes have been made. Reboot to undo them.
Nothing happens after a reboot.
KNOX*.apk are the ones responsible for this.
