[Q] is my samsung galaxy spica bricked ?

i own a Samsung galaxy Spica i5700..the problem is that it is not able to boot... its not switching on ..when i connect to the charger it starts charging and when i press the end button ( power on/power off) the charging symbol disappears .... and i m not able to go into recovery nor in download mode ..i just want to go into the download mode so that i can flash it again ...please let me know if i bricked my samsung galaxy spica ??? is it possible to unbrick it??
please help me .... thanks in advance

I have the same problem.. i flashed a too big bootlogo, and now phone does nothing at all..
Hope someone could give us some advice, because i have no warranty...

hi i have a jig which you can buy from ebay it puts my i5700 into download mode.still not sure if it will help because i was changing the firmware on mine and it just loads the boot screens. i have forgoton how to get recovery using the buttons,it allso does the galaxy s and s11

If you have flashed too big bootlogo, then end. Trully bricked.
USB jig doesn't work on Spica.
Samsung_saad: what did you do before brick spica?

Unbrick!!
addictivetips.com/mobile/one-click-unbrick-for-samsung-phones-having-odin-guide/
When I originally rooted my phone, I used Odin... I haven't tried this particular method for unbricking, but apparently it works.
Hope that helps

I tried the one click unbrick method. Wasent working for me.
In the original post it says that it works with all devices using Odin 3. Is a while ago, but i think to remember i was using Odin 2.x the last times for flashing.
Eaven it dident work for me, might still be worth a try for you.

The button combination for download mode is "volume down + camera + power"
As long as you can get into that mode you're safe and the phone is not bricked!

[Q] Bricked my galaxy y duos

Sorry if i didn't post where i should but I am kinda confused and I didn't find a galaxy y duos topic.
So I installed from mistake a kernel from galaxy y not y duos and it bricked, I tried to install an other kernel but it didn't work and it seem to not respond when I connect the usb.
Can you help me?
Forgot to mention, my guess it's soft bricked because it starts, but stops at samsung galaxy y duos thing and reboots .
Thanks in advance.

Here is a quick soln..Think it will work...
1) Try installing samsung kies on your computer.
2) go to download mode(Not recovery mode) via volume DOWN + home + power key
3) If none of the above works download stock flashable zip and import to sd card via some means and try installing it.....
(Tip:Temp CWM might come handy in the final case)
click thanks if my soln works,
Optimus

Thakns both. I have flashed a rom that i found on the internet ,and I'll geve a thanks both

Put your phone into download mode using a USB jig
You will have to buy one
You can then flash stock rom via odin

hi ,
First ,im not sure what you mean with "start ". your phone,is it commpletely "dead " ?
if so have you plugged it into wallsocket/charged ? and then tried again ?
Can you boot up your phone /do you see Samsung logo ?
What happens when you do ...power /volume down/home button ...?
If you can boot and see Samsung logo, what i can suggest( at this stage )
is to search for video on XDA /or Youtube .
how to enter download mode ..
eg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zvwUS6as4
This should give you idea about download mode .
good luck

If your Phone is able to go in Recovery Mode(Press Powerbutton+Volume UP+HOME to go in RecoveryMode) Either its Stock Recovery Or Custom recovery....
Wipe/Format every thing......
Than try to Go in Download mode if Suceeded than you should Try to Download this & Flash VIA Odin its Stock Touchwiz Lollipop Multi CSC firmware....
or Download Your Rom from Sammobile Here
I hope your problem will be solved

hi ,
well if you can see Samsung logo ,that good !!
your phone seems to be soft bricked..( not really very big problem ,don't worry ..!!!! )
Only way to fix , is to flash your current stock ROM .
if you prefer Kies well ,i stated in above post that i don't think much of Kies .
One point i would like to point out.
Download mode ...
first pull battery ..then insert battery
if you hold buttons ..home +power + volume ......you get to a triangle warning........then press volume up again ..download mode (you will see same as screenshot( its an old foto of my Note 2 , but similar ) ....download mode ..Green Android man ..note if you want to get out of this ..pull battery )
good luck
post note
i have had same problem as you in past once or twice...!
fixed it with reflashing correct stock rom .
So just try to think positively ,it really very small issue .

THanks DUDE!!!

S7 edge bootloader exception

Hello guys,
My s7 edge, Out of a sudden it turned off and I can't turn it back on. I tried to flash with odin, but I think I had chosen a wrong frimeware because I couldn't check which one was meant for my phone. That process failed.
I left the phone alone for a while and after a few days I tried it again but I couldn't access the download mode at all. It keeps showing me this error.
I was trying by pressing and holding power + home button + down volume button. Also I was attempting with pressing/ holding the home button because I saw that it worked for some people, but it didn't work for me.
Can someone help with this problem ?

?? Anyone ??

What you mean u maybe flashed wrong firmware? Dude how can you not know what are u flashing via Odin??
I'm sorry don't wanna be so hars
If u can't boot to download mode then I'm afraid u cant do much , if u somehow can boot to download mode then u must select in Odin nand erase , repatition (pit file required) and see..
Cheapest option for u is changing motherboar if all options are out

I cut the story very short.
My friend had tried to flash his phone. In doing that, he could access the download mode, but after that Odin showed an error 'error, flashing failed'.
Since then, he couldn't access download mode. And now i am trying somehow to fix this problem..
I don't have enough posts to post a screenshot.

Well it would be best if u could open phone and disconnect battery and connect again after few hours , try changing cable use official one ect. Keep trying
Best of luck

I'll try that. Thanks!
If I manage to access download mode, is there a way to find out which the original firmware for this phone is?
Or should I try out different ones until something works [emoji23]
