[Q] Galaxy Y Bricked

Hi,
I am completely new in phone flashing. I met some troubles with my Galaxy Y device.
I will explain the details and hope someone can give me guidelines to fix it.
I have a Galaxy Y that freezes at logo screen when powered up.
We can access Download mode, but not Recovery one.
Initially it had an official rom that has not been modified.
I get trouble with it with a boot loop.
So, I went to Recovery Mode and did a wipe Data. This worked once and then I get boot loop problem 2 days later.
I tried again to wipe data through Recovery mode, but now with out result.
So I decided to flash it … Odin failed and now it stays frozen at the logo screen when powered up.
For the flashing:
- I try on 3 different PC (1 Win7 and 2 XP) and tried different USB ports
- For the drivers, I tried by installing Kies_2.3.3.12085_7_5 and by installing USB drivers only (SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe)
- I tried a lot of time, with and without restarting Odin
- I tried with Odin 1.83, 1.84 and 1.85 ( I know that 1.84 and 1.85 support S5360 model)
- And I tried using different ROMs
The communication between Odin and the device seems correct (I can see the yellow highlight when connecting the device in Download mode)
I tried some Doky’s packages from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21846620:
- S5360_XXKK6_OXXKK2_XXKK5
- S5360_XXKL3_OXXKL1_XXKL3
- S5360_XXLF3_OXXLF3_XXLF3
I tried also some other packages containing only one file and one dll (retrieved from here as example http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...laxy-y-firmwares&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82):
- S5360XXKL3_LUXKJ1_Luxembourg_Android_2.3.6
- S5360TAJKK3_TLPKK3_Austria_Android_2.3.6
- S5360LUHKJ2_PSNKJ2_Argentina_Personal_Android_2.3.6
- S5360XXLA2_S5360OXXLA2_EUR
- S5360XXKL3_S5360OXXKL1_EUR
I tried also this package, as I saw that some people were able to unbrick there device with it:
GalaxyS5360_DDLA1_2.3.6
This last package contains totoro_0623.pit file. So I tried with and without Re-Partition checked.
I tried also to download totoro_0623.pit file again from other locations and the .pit file with other packages from the previous lists, but without success (Odin always fails).
On point that can be perhaps important is then when flashing, with Odin, the CSC package alone it always succeeds.
The same, when flashing only BOOT package (taken from GalaxyS5360_DDLA1_2.3.6), is it always successful.
I tried also to flash different couples of BOOT and CSC packages and it is always successful.
Unfortunately, I am completely new in this domain and I do not know the purpose of each package (BOOT, PDA, MODEM and CSC).
So, I do not know what to do now ... Perhaps someone can have some advices or guidelines to help.
Thanks again.
Yacy.

Thank you very much, Tabyuh22, for your advice.
Unfortunately, I did a lot of search already (xda forum and google), but unfortunately without success.
The only unbrick tutorial I found, related to Galaxy Y, is flashing GalaxyS5360_DDLA1_2.3.6 packages with Odin. I tried this already, but unfortunately, it was not successful (Odin flash fails, except if I flash, BOOT and CSC packages only, as explained previously).
Perhaps you have in mind a specific link that I can try?
Thanks again.
Yacy.

Most probably, the Odin you downloaded is a corrupt one, or maybe you're using an older version. Try the one from Doky73's thread.

sorry but i believe its the Odin,
try the v1.85 and do not use a pit file,
very well detailed question,
thanks

can you post screenshot for odin after "Fail" and/or all text in Message area
and I will help I've unbricked my phone just today

Thank you very much for your advice and help.
In fact, I tried already to download Odin 1.85 from different sources. I just tried again, but unfortunately I get the same bad result.
What I find strange is that the flash is successful when using the CSC package only.
I do not know how to put images in the post, so I attached 2 .jpg snapshots of Odin failure and success.
Here is Odin's log when failure (when trying to flash PDA, MODEM and CSC packages):

Just choose PDA and It's required file and live Phone and CSC alone then you'l be able to boot into Recovery mod

It seems it is what I did. The result is in the Failed snapshot I attached.
Do you see any thing wrong in this snapshot and the associated logs?
(I tried also to flash PDA or PHONE alone, but failed. It is successful only if I flash CSC alone)
Thanks again.
Yacy.

Try data/cache wipe after flash,maybe it helps
MANY GREEEEETZ!!!

Alright, now when you downloaded the firmware package, there would be 4 different .tar files - BOOT_something.tar, PDA_something.tar, CSC_something.tar and MODEM_something.tar. Sometimes, there is one more, DefaultCalDataBOOT_something.tar, which i use in place of BOOT. Try flashing that in place of BOOT file. Still if it dosen't work, flash the PIT file along. Make sure the PIT's right. Our device's pit is "totoro_0623.pit".

I imagine we can do this only by accessing Recovery Mode.
Unfortunately, I cannot access this mode, but the Download one only

The remark when flashing DefaultCalDataWithBoot_S5360DDLA1_REV05.tar.md5 alone, I can see on the device the progress bar increasing, but it fails before the end.
(I do not have this at all when trying to flash PDA or MODEM files)
Thanks again.
Yacy.

Possible solution : That what I did
Keep ODIN alive don't close it then try changing USB ports and use man ports ( in the back if you're using Desktop PC ) and flash only pit and PDA if it didn't worked restart download mode
then check if you could boot into Recovery mod

Flash some kernel.tar in place of PDA file....
Then you'll be able to boot into recovery and then install any rom ....!!!!

Sorry for the late answer, as I was not available these days.
And thank you for your guide lines.

I had a look to the Development area and tried to flash different kernels.
Unfortunately, I get failures again.
What is different now is that
1/ Odin hangs at the steps below:
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> boot.img
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2/ In the phone, “custom bin down” counter is now uncremented.
Its value is 10 (it was zero, before trying to flash kernels from custom roms).
Do you have any other idea?
Does an alternative tool to flash the device exist?
Is there a way (perhaps by using Android design tools) to get more information about why the flash does not work (a more precise error message)?
Thanks again for your help.

Hello Yacy, I'm sorry I have no Idea about your problem. I just wanted to ask if you got your issue solved?
Actually, I bought my SGY about 3 weeks ago and I was going through problems of Flashing. I'm also interested in Flashing with a Custom ROM.
And I'm Totally new to Android. If you got the problem sorted out, can you tell me a DETAILED and CLEAR TUT for flashing one?

asd
please give me a link about galaxy y duos bricked please.

Only will boot into downloading mode

I've got a sprint galaxy s4, was running 4.2.2 and I had added the hotspot mod by overwriting some files to make that happen. I was attempting to go back to stock in order to update to 4.3 via an Odin3 flash and something happened. I can only boot into the download mode, I can't get into recovery mode at all. If I try to get into recovery, I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Kies will not recognize my phone. When I plug it into my computer via usb, I hear a notification. Kies attempts to connect, but never does successfully. I have no way of getting my serial number as I can't boot it and it's not listed under the battery cover. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers with no success. I have tried to uninstall Kies completely and flash via Odin3 but get a failure below

I don't care about losing any info and am willing to wipe/flash whatever I can. Thank you for any input! I'm hoping to not have to take this to the sprint store

You just have to odin the stock mf9 tar again. I would try a different version of odin, a different usb port, or a different usb cable. Odin will fix your problem, don't use kies. I used odin 3 version 3.07 but I've also had a lot of success with odin 3 ver 1.85 that is included when you download cf autoroot. Also, make sure you are running odin as administrator.

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to flash the stock .tar but I'm not having any success. I get the error messages I listed above. Any clue what those mean or what I could be doing wrong? That looks like greek to me. I really don't know what any of it means.

i would just use the CF-autoroot odin......this has saved my ass twice !!! seems to be the " mirical odin " program

Note 3 SM-N9005 Firmware Issue & Device Recognised As 'Samsung GT-S5690'

Hi all,
I've heard great things about this website and joined up hoping to God you could help me. I tried updating the firmare on my phone to 4.4.2 from 4.3 using Odin3 v3.07 and it stopped suddenly with an error message and now my Note 3 continuously displays:
“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“
I have looked extensively through the threads already started but couldn't find a solution particularly as Kies is not recognising my device anymore stating it is an unsupported device, furthermore, 'MobileGo' software is showing the device as being a 'Samsung GT-S5690', instead of Note 3??. I tried Odin to recover back to original firmware but failed both times and phone now stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.
My Mobile details are:
Model Number: SM-N9005
Serial Number: RF1DA5NMM5M

Thanks, once I have used Odin v3.09 to flash cwm recovery, will I still need to flash back to stock or will it simply work?

You will have to flash stock firmware 4.4 before your phone will work again. Simply flashing cwm will get you to cwm recovery but not a working phone.

Hi, I have found a tutorial on flashing ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.5 but it states:
"Must enable USB Debugging first" and also "Must let Reactivation lock off first", is this absolutely necessary as I can't access my phone, let alone its settings? Can I still proceed with installing ClockworkMod Recovery?

Don't follow that one.
Go here and download the right file for your phone's model, put phone in download mode and flash using odin in ap/pda slot.
Btw, have you tried flashing 4.4 using odin v3.09?

When odin gives you the fail message technically you've already flashed the stock, but for some reason odin doesn't recognise it as a pass. .leave your phone plugged in, reset odin, put your phone into download phone and then flash recovery. . Hey presto your phone will wake up..

I don't think this is the case because when I first tried flashing from 4.3 to 4.4.2 it tried for a few seconds then failed and been stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“ despite resetting Odin and going back into download mode, tried reflashing but keep getting the 'FAIL' (logs posted in original first post).
Is there any reason why my phone is being detected as 'Samsung GT-S5690' in MobileGo? I'm thinking if Kies could detect it as the Note 3 again my problems would be solved.
I haven't tried Odin v3.09 because to be honest I thought the firmware file once extracted as a RAR file could only be read by Odin v3.07 is that not the case?
Soz everyone

Hi all,
I've heard great things about this website and joined up hoping to God you could help me. I tried updating the firmare on my phone to 4.4.2 from 4.3 using Odin3 v3.07 and it stopped suddenly with an error message and now my Note 3 continuously displays:
“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“
I have looked extensively through the threads already started but couldn't find a solution particularly as Kies is not recognising my device anymore stating it is an unsupported device, furthermore, 'MobileGo' software is showing the device as being a 'Samsung GT-S5690', instead of Note 3??. I tried Odin to recover back to original firmware but failed both times and phone now stuck on “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.
My Mobile details are:
Model Number: SM-N9005
Serial Number: RF1DA5NMM5M
This is a log of 2 different attempts using Odin, one to 4.4.2 and the other back to stock:
Odin3 v3.07

looks like u r trying to flash 4.3 & 4.4 one after one, now dont try 4.3 at all, make sure kies is not running in baground, disable antivirus if any.

I had the the same issue with kies myself, tried every trick in the book before I tried the method I mention above.. maybe it's an issue with the phone itself, or a certain batch of phones?

The writing of stock 4.3 fails since your bootloader was updated by your failed attempt. You will probably never be able to write a 4.3 stock image.
The writing of 4.4 NB1 fails since probably it is for a slightly different region with a slightly different partitioning scheme. Ideally install the 4.4 for your specific model/region. If that fails you might need to write some 4.4 with repartition - there are some threads around (I think also the Hong-Kong version had serious problems with 4.4 because of that).

I saw the Hong Kong thread and to be honest got lost reading the posts, i'm beginning to think this is going to be a task beyond my capabilities as not the most technologically minded of people and need to be spoon fed. Is there an easy way to find out if I have a Hong Kong version phone? I brought it from e-cell on Ebay a couple of months ago?
If using a different version of Odin such as v3.09 once the firmware file is extracted where does it go as v3.07 is goes in the PDA section?
Many thanks

I don't think there is an easy way to see what the original version was as long as you can no longer boot the phone. I think the EU model is generally listed as N9005ZWE while the HK is N9005ZKA and that might be written somewhere on the box. Also it might be a different partitioning model even if it is not a Hong-Kong model.

Can you please upload screenshots? I do not understand, your screenshot shows odin detects your device. What really happens when you connect your device to pc?
Have you tried ##3424# menu to enable samsung diag port? Is it requesting to install qhsusb_dload driver when you connect it to pc?

i still don't get why you can't install from SD card. are you saying TWRP isn't reading from the SD card? have you tried a different memory card? because you could of just updated the recovery to a different recovery. from my experience, CWM seems to be the most dependable recovery to use.
in any case, i don't understand what you mean your PC won't detect the phone if you're able to use odin..
one other suggestion is to try using adb push to push a files from your pc directly to the phone memory. here's how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266638

edit:
Are you running Odin 1.85 or 3.09?
Are you running Odin as administrator?
The computer does see your phone, so that isn't the issue.
What version of Stock S4 were you running prior to flashing Super_s4?
If it was KitKat 4.4 then you'll need to download stock 4.4 from samsung, you cannot downgrade back to 4.2 or 4.3 if your phone came as stock 4.4, sorry.
When you are booting to download mode, are you doing it from a full powered off state? Make sure the phone is fully powered down, even pull the battery and let it sit for a minute or two before you boot to download mode.
What version of twrp did you flash? Versions older than 2.7.0.1 have problems flashing kitkat roms. As an earlier poster suggested, go get CWM 6.0.4.4 (IIRC) or the newest Philz touch and try flashing from that.
Do you have a card reader and a micro-sd to sd adapter you can use on your pc, or maybe a USB-OTG adapter? If so, make sure whatever ROM you want to flash is on the root of the SD card. I have both, and I keep an old spare 2GB micro sd formatted ex-fat that I can quickly format again and copy any ROM to if I need to flash, and if that doesn't work or I can't find it, I have a USB-OTG cable and I'll use any thumb drive I may have sitting around to copy a ROM and flash that way.

its ok now I took my SGS4 back to Sprint they said they cant figure it out so they are giving me a brand new S4 my phone kinda burned out the screen was turning green on boot up well my insurance covered it thanks for the help

Yeah, he wasn't on MDC. The fail point he was getting meant he already had the knox bootloader.

[Q] AT&T Galaxy S4 Soft bricked phone-can't ODIN restore

I have been searching threads for 6 hours, but haven't found anything conclusive.
I rooted my phone a while back, but today I decided to install a new custom ROM. I backed up the ROM to my external SD and installed the new one through safestrap. However, when I tried to reboot, I just got stuck on a screen that says samsung and has an open lock.
I am able to get into download mode, but not into recovery. After I boot into download mode, it says write protection:enabled (not sure that is normal, but I thought I would mention it). I open up Odin and the drivers seem to load fine. I have tried a a few versions of ODIN and two different Stock ROMs, but it fails every time. On my phone, after it fails, I get a message that says SW Rev. Check Fail: fused 2, binary: 1.
In ODIN, I get the following:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I337UCUAMDL_I337ATTAMDL_I337UCUAMDL_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Can someone please help me? I'm getting kind of desperate.

Have you tried another USB cable?.

I have actually. The original cable and just another one I had. Also, tried it on 3 computers.

Should I be loading a PIT file? some places say to do it and others say not to.

The problem is you're trying to flash mdl firmware and you're not on that version. It looks like you're on mf3. There is no Odin flashable mf3 firmware so I'd suggest you flash the nb1 tar file. See the general forum for the file. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149
