[Q] Soft Bricked Phone - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Okay after my phone took the update for the latest firmware and bootloader i ended up doing a nand erase... however the new bootloader wont allow me to load the previous software of AMDL back onto the phone to fix it because you are getting a fused 2 and binary 1 error dose any one have a copy of the latest firmware for the AMF3 version?

Have you tried kies?

Didnt have to i was able to recover my phone by doing a hard reset by holding the volume down/up button and the home button and pressing power.. then i was able to restore/reset everything and im back up.

[Q] download mode issues

I was using ji6 and was having some problems with maps showing my location wrong. I read where some people said that upgrading to ji6 from the stock firmware helped with this issue. So, I searched for the stock firmware to flash.
I was stupid and ended up flashing a je8 version instead of original firmware. To make matters worse it had 3 separate tar files and I didn't pay attention and only flashed the pda file.
This subsequently locked my phone up and I couldn't access download mode by pressing both volume buttons and plugging in the usb cord. I finally was able to get in download mode by holding the volume down button and pressing the power button. I was able to flash ji2 with oden.
My issue now is I can still no longer access download mode by holding down both volume buttons. Also, when I do access download mode now, there is a message in red at the top that reads "KeyPressed, 164"
Anybody have any ideas how to get this message to go away, and to get the method of pressing both volume buttons and plugging in the usb cord to work again? I haven’t tried flashing back to the stock firmware but I wasn’t having this problem when using ji2 originally. My phone has not been rooted either.
Thanks

[Q] Return to stock BOOTLOOP with NO FACTORY RESET

Hi,
Ive tried to restore my LG G2 to stock becuase the GPS decided it wasnt going to work anymore.
Things seemed to go smoothly (after a lot of reading) but now with the stock firmware installed I have a bootloop.
Holding down the vol down and power button to get to factory reset doesnt work either, it used to.
I can enter download mode.
I have tried using the LG tools to upgrade the firmware and upgrade the recovery.
I have used the offline flash tools as well.
Im stuck
Please help!
Its ok Ive fixed it.
For those who want to know... the newer firmware has a different button combo for the factory reset.
Its hold down POWER and VOL DOWN
Wait for the logo
Then press VOL UP + VOL DOWN
viola!
i love u u r the best

[Q] LG G2 is stuck on Firmware update screen

Hello,
Yesterday I tried to upgrade my LG G2 from android 4.4.2 to 5 via LG PC suite.
The upgrade was failed at some point around 30%, it let me re-try the upgrade, but it fails over and over.
After deep research, I found that it could fail due to lack of space (Under 1GB), unfortunately I think that's the root cause of the failure. (No alert was given before the upgrade)
Now, it stuck on the Firmware Update screen (even after reboot), attempting to get into download mode direct me to the Firmware update screen.
The only thing I was able to perform is getting into the Hard wipe screen (holding vol down + power button till device is powering off and powering on, when it power on with the LG logo I let go the vol down button and keep holding the power button), I chose to reset factory, but I think it just restart my phone into the Firmware Update screen and perform nothing.
This is un-rooted device, made in Korea. Sorry, but I don't know the current firmware version.
Any help please, if anyone know how can I delete data without the OS it could help.

S7 Edge Bricked

I recently (successfully?) rooted my phone, but couldn't make phone calls or texts so I tried factory resetting it. The factory reset worked but I still had the root and I couldnt make calls or texts, so I tried multiple times to unroot it through Odin and it said it worked on my last attempt, but now my phone is stuck on a black screen and a blue LED pops up. I get no vibrations or feedback from my phone. I've tried all the combos to reset, down home power, down power, power home up, home power, all of them. My only hope is to let the phone die of power and recharge it and see if it will work. Does anyone have any ideas? When I plug it in to my computer it wont detect it either.
check your IMEI with *#06#!
when you have no IMEI you need the EFS BackUp...hope you have it.

power button + volume down. When it reboots, quickly get into download mode the same way you would normally. And same as above post, EFS back.. if it's not resolved from factory reset.
I have had this problem.
If you just hold power vol- down it will reboot and when reeboting, just keep holding the same buttons until you get the Download Mode.
If not try holding power vol- up until geeting into recovery, then go trough download mode from there.
You just have to hold the buttons down, it wil maybe restart but just keep holding these buttons trough the restarts.
In download mode you have to do a fresh install with a rom of your choice from Sammobile, orginal firmware.
And remember to never Factory Reset your phone after innstaling ROOT and Recovery.
The best way to do factory reset after these are firmware flash trough Odin.

Flashing it to its original form

I flashed my grand prime last year with lollipop, now I tried to factory reset it on settings and got bricked, now it is back to 5.0.2 and whenever I factory reset, I have to use odin first. how can I fix that? I want to factory reset it without odin just like normal phone.
Have you tried to do a factory reset via recovery? and what do you mean by "now it is back to 5.0.2..."? did you flash a newer version and get back?

I tried recovery but it directs on downloading, I guess they vanished when I flashed it to 5.0.2 last year. I downloaded 4.4.4 stock rom awhile ago but it failed, then I restart but it resets as 5.0.2 help please T_T

What is your phone model? maybe you're flashing the wrong firmware for your device, that's why it's getting error and by the way, turn your phone completely off and press home + vol down + power just to make sure if recovery has vanished (I think it's not possible either)

It's alright, and then? I wrote that wrong?, press volume UP instead of DOWN to get to recovery mode, if you press down it'll go to download mode, unless you want to reflash tour firmware wit Odin
