[Q] Stucked on Samsung Screen CAN put in Download mode

I tried searching but not really sure what it is I need.
Histiory:
I installed Zune on my computer and hooked my Windows 7 Focus up for the 1st time.
While in Zune it told me updates were available. I clicked on update,it went through all the steps,but when it got to restarting your phone thats where it stayed.
After 13 hours I disconnected the phone,and now I just have the white Samsung logo,although I CAN get into download mode and hard reset
My issue is what am I supposed to download,and how? I'm as noob as you get,but hopefully I can follow simple instructions.
I found a thread on here about firmware revision,but when I click on that it wanted me to install iVid,or something like that,and not even sure what firmware I was supposed to be using.
Under the battery it shows Rev 1.4
Please,can someone help me restore my phone?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, well since you can put it in download mode, you can install MAGLDR (custom bootloader) and flash a custom rom.
Install all for revision 1.4 , link for MAGLDR(read carefully the instructions) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485569
link for custom rom for version 1.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024825
Good luck.

I really appreciate the help.
I'm a little concerned about putting anything custom because of my lack of technical knowledge. I'm afraid if I encounter any issues in the future,it wont be easily corrected with custom roms.
Does Zune then work with a custom Rom,or is it no longer needed?
Can anyone provide the factory firmware and instructions on how to download and install ?

Ok thanks. I guess I didn't read it well enough,as this is the thread that I did search ,but wasn't sure as to what link to use,and when I cliick on the links I got this:
http://lnx.lu/5yD, and I didn't think that was right as stated in the very 1st line of my original post. I guess I should have linked that thread and asked the question form there as which to use,and if I was supposed to be on some page for "final torrent"

okay, let's go slower then:
- went to the link with the factory firmware
- there are three roms provided there; since you said that your focus is a rev 1.4, the correct rom is the one labeled WP7_PRODUCT_4K (1.4 HW), in other words, the rom named "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K"
- clicked the link, multiupload says that the file is no longer available
- went back and checked the other two just because... all gone... figures, HEH
- performed a web search for the term "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K" (see the trend here?)
- while most of the mirrored links are dead, there are still mirrors alive and well, as noticed on the very first page of results
- one of these is stored on depositfiles, the link: http://depositfiles.com/files/oimdoqz1r
- the other is on zippyshare, http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/14086695/file.html
now your mission is:
- download the file
- follow enderpsp's guide, here, again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17092804#post17092804
- if successful, treat yourself to a nice drink
- SAVE THE FILE in its original package and store it in a cool, dry location for future use
...and that's why i said that search works. because it does
cheers and good luck
ps. there's a thanks button in this forum for a reason :angel:

@Saiyaku
1st off I do thank you for your time and involvement.

I agree,as long as you know what your searching for. When you find threads with broken links ,as I did,it makes a noob even more confused then when they started the search. See 1st line of my original post.
I'm just a guy that had a working phone and when it went to update, killed my phone.
I had no idea the rom you posted is what I needed,,,,so again thanks:good:.

Now I'll explain what happened when I tried the above:
When you follow enderpsp's guide he states:
You will not need the "Samsung WP7 Flash Program" as it is included in the ROM (Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe).
Install Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Unfortunately no instruction for a noob on how to install the USB Drivers:crying:
Next it states to:
"1. Copy "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe" in a new folder and run it (Install). After running you will see these files:
signed_CSC_Cetus_ATT_i917ATTJK2.csc
signed_eboot_Cetus_ATT.eb0
signed_pda_Cetus_ATT.nb0
signed_phone_Cetus_ATT.bin
WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe
Then it goes on to state:
"The fhash program you need to run is
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe"
Unfortunately WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe is not part of the download.
The flash program you are being told to run isn't there:crying:
Again very confusing for a noob (see the trend here?)
So currently here is where it stands. Don't ask me how,but after more hours spent on this then I can remember,I manage to restore the phone... YEAA !!
but when I connect the phone to the computer or just turn it on it tells me there are updates for the phone. Running these updates is exactly what caused the problem originally,so now I don't know if I should try again,or just leave a working phone alone?
But again,I really do thank you for your time and support.Yor help is what kept me going at trying to resolve my issue.

Yes,I did,but then it tells me there is a update. Updating the phone through Zune is what started my original problem.
Plus I'm not really sure what the update really is for.

Turn your pc into airplane mode, or anyway turn off any connection you have activated (Wifi ecc...)
Then try again.
I had the same problem, it was trying to reach the server, without internet connection it can't and everything will work

Flash magisk via TWRP.

Hi.
I think my problem is unusual.
I try to install TWRP and/or root my device.
I red a few instructions in german and english.
And still nothing.
Details.
1. I have the compilation: from 2016.08.10.
2. Updater says I have new soft. I can download it 100 times. It says "downloading", then "installing" and "rebooting" but in the end nothing changes: still the same rom, still I can download and install this new soft (from 2017.1.12, 927,13 MB).
3. I can open the recovery mode. This is impossible for this device. Power+UP, Power+DOWN = doesn't matter. I see something like bootloop, but after 10-20 seconds the system is rebooting normally. No recovery.
3A. I didn't find an extra settings in "Options" which give more possibilities during turning off (for example: "restart in recovery").
As You see I can't make the backup (nesessary for me) that is why I didn't try "factory reset".
4. Instructions from Internet didn't work:
a) "MT65xx USB VCOM DRIVERS" installs some drivers but I don't have "Ports (COM&LPT) for Windows 10,
b) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": no scatter file, don't know how to make it, the file from Internet didn't help,
c) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": I can't tick "recovery" and any other option,
d) "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3": it doesn't show any informations about the device.
As You see I can nothing with my P9000.
Do You have any ideas?

Boot verification failed, Secure boot error. FIX

So many of us was at this point sometimes, maybe due to knowledge is poor, maybe its just glitches, but we all make mistakes, cause we are humans. So humans wanna show you how to fix your LG G3 D855 model when you get errors like : -Secure boot error (mostly due to wrong recovery flash,as far i know, you will correct me if am wrong anyway)
- Boot verification failed.
In both scenarios you cant access recovery or download mode. Phone just reboots and screen gone black with LED blinking red and blue to the eternity. I am here to help u restore your phone to former condition.
I take no credits for this , cause i just reuploaded files, and rewriten text and everything , cause old post on has been deleted and i cant find it anywhere, but i still got the files in my PC.
Just download all the files in folder at Drive, and folow instrucions given as they are. BTW there are pictures, so u can do it wrong only if u are ...u know.
Dont hold me responsible for any damage on your device. I tryed this metod about 10 times in a row, so i am confirming that it works.
This metod dont require you to short anything, its just click-click-click, connect...you get it .
Sorry cause my grammar, but my English is little rusty since i wasnt using it in a really long time.
Good luck people!

Important. What about refurbished g3, flashing wrong kdz will cause a super brick, first off all check the variant from the motherboard or just on the back of phone.

Tried your method does not poluchaetsa can be detailed instructions ? On the phone firmware 6.0

Guys one thing to be kept in mind.most of refurbished d855 doesn't come d855 board.so such errors arise because of wrong model of recovery flashing.so confirm your model by opening your phone and looking at the board.

What OS do you use ? Try to disable driver signing at starting your pc . Then reinstall drivers, restart PC, then pull battery out, conect device, and then insert batery . Should work .

Thank you so much! What would I do without you

Got "Boot verification failed" when I got into the secret menu and tried to do "device test".
I got Fulmics 6 ROM installed and the device failed for some reason to load the MiniOS (used by the "device test").
Wasted about 5 hours until I got to this post.
This post was so useful I almost cried out of joy.
THANKS!!!
EDIT:
mirrored the files in dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vn71zlrooyxe73d/AAABVAXEfYSQPlHhOLFql51Ra

For some reason the BoardDiag available here didn't work for me. It would always says "Serial port open FAILED".
I tried with willcracker version and it worked. You can download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359

Just a few questions before I begin, I'm obviously... u know :
1. First, I install the drivers. In what state should the phone be in when I connect it to the PC? Probably in the only possible state, that means with the screen blank and the red and blue leds blinking, correct?
2. Do I have to remove the battery before connecting the phone?
3. Flashing the last partition, sbl1, causes the phone to reboot, right? So, in the last step when flashing the kdz, does the phone have to be in download mode?
Thanks!

Np bro.

Please help me. I have installed all drivers but my G3 D855 is not getting detected by my pc. My pc is running on Windows 7 64bit. Please help me..!

in case anyone is bothering with this in 2020+ on windows10, i did run into a few hiccups and managed to boot a 'bricked' phone I bought for 50 eur
1. Only install the approproate driver for your windows architecture of QDLoader
2. If LGFlashTool2014 is demanding mfc100.dll, you need to install a Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, yes, the x86 one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555
3. If after launching LGFlashTool2014 once, then closing, then launching again it doesn't turn on, you need to follow these steps: go to C:\Users\<YourWindowsUsername>\AppData\Local\Temp and delete everything you can, these are temporary files that programs on your pc store, they're not important, but LGFlashTool2014 for some reason makes some files that prevent it from launching
Since then the phone crashed a few times so I understand now how it got bricked, a faulty motherboard most likely, going to try baking it as described here: https://redd.it/5e0nx7 but this is irrelevant to the thread and just here for anyone stumbling upon in the distant dystopian future

Very informative post.
