HTC Universal ( Imate Jasjar ) Not entering Bootloader mode, Or powering on.

Hello again,
I was having problems with my old battery and i tried to hard reset my phone when the power was almost half but the batter suddenly hanged my fone in the middle of formatting and now i brought a new battery and its not entering BOOTLOADER MODE when i press the Bulb+Power+Reset button
When i place the phone on charging the indicator on the Phone glows Red and it wont turn on the phone or wont go to bootloader mode...if only you guys can explain me how to enter bootloader mode then i can do the rest.
Thanks.
P.S : Despite all the problems i face using a WM i still love it the most.

Common guys...this forum is my only hope....as i dont have any HTC service centre near my place.
Hoping for some usefull adivces.

3) Press something into the reset button and hold for 2-5 seconds
If this does not work READ the Wiki
Good luck,

How i screwed up my HTC Universal ?
I tried to Hard Reset it when the battery was running on low power and while the process of hard resetting was going on it suddenly shut down due to low power and now it wont even enter bootloader mode....Any help guys ? i purchased it from dubai and i dont even have any HTC repair centre in my city...not that i know off.
Right now i removed the battery of my Phone and i placed it on charging just hoping that there is an internal battery in the device and when it gets charged i should be able to go into bootloader mode but im not sure if what i think is right .

Still unable to find any solutions guys....help me out please.

Yes i am very sure, As i have previously installed many ROMS on it but this time its not even going into bootloader mode.
I doubt that the bootloader mode itself is currupted or something is there a way to install a fresh bootloader mode ?
Kindly help me out its been a month i havnt used my phone now.,using a Motorola W220 ,from jasjar to w220 is not a very good feeling guys. please sort my problem i dont have anyone to guide me here.
Funny thing is i found a HTC repair center and the guys over their said they only repair HTC products not Imate and imate service centre in whole aisa = 5 or 6 :| checked it on club imate site.

Thanks for your help. I've tried the remedies outlined in the PDF document, including flashing the memory via the SD card. This does not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

Yes, that's the funny part; can enter bootloader mode. I've followed the instructions to burn a new ROM to the SD card. After I burn the new ROM to the SD card, I can then burn the new ROM, but as soon as I choose to hard reboot my device, I receive a message reading; CLEARING, then the display fades and nothing further happens.

I will post this answer in the other threads with this problem, but I installed Tomal's WM6.1 v8.2 and the phone worked fine afterward. I think the problem is that some phones don't accept all ROMS.

If only i could enter bootloader mode i would have tried whichever rom you would have suggested but my problem is different i cant even enter Bootloader mode.
And i think only a service center can help me nothing else.

Hi!
My device as similar behavior.
After a failed upgrade at 99%.
It don't Start , can't go to Boot Loader mode.
When I connect to Windows give me usb not recongnized.
Try to flash with orginal ROM, Even "usb not recognized but it gives a comunication error...
and stop's.
Did you manage to put your device in bootloader mode ?
I try ever possible combination of keys and no luck...
Please help!

Hello there...Welcome to the club bro...
Funny thing is i gave my phone to a Local service center and he was able to get it in Bootloader mode but couldnt install a proper ROM as he didnt had one...so i got my problem fixed and i sold my jasjar two days ago for 5000/- Indian Rupees...Thats around $105 .
I have promised myself that i will NEVER buy an Imate as they dont have proper service centers here in my place.I am planning to get Sony X1 now
My suggestion to you...get it repaired and sell it before it gets messed up again.,its a very delicate and very pain in the @$$ phone.Im so happy now ^.^
Mods :Can lock this thread now...i no longer own a jasjar.

How They Get in Bootloader?
Using JTAG ?
Or there is another trick ?
Because Normal combination of key don't work
...
Can you try to find out ?
Thanks

cannot go into download mode ..
just black lcd now..and i test with power supply the metter it show 0.2 to 0.4

Here's a hot tip...
If your thread has "help" in the title, it almost certainly doesn't belong in development.
If your download mode is inaccessible, you may need a jig. Lots of info around here.
Why were you flashing without testing your three button download/recovery first?

First of all charge ur sgs. Then go to 3 button combo(volume down+home button+power) download mode. Then using Odin flash Darkyy 9.2 resecure resecure edition. Hope this will clear ur problem.

People have made numerous suggestions. Try to get into DOWNLOAD MODE (not recovery) by removing the battery, replacing it, and pressing VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER and holding them.
If that really doesn't work after you have tried multiple times, you will need to order a Jig from Ebay.
Beyond that, the only solution for the future is STOP YOURSELF FROM DOING STUPID THINGS TO YOUR PHONE BY TAKING CARE AND LEARNING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WHATSOEVER!

[Tutorial] How To Unbrick your galaxy 3

If your phone doesn’t boot into download mode and you have a black screen after flashing froyo heres how you unbrick it, it worked for me.
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash (in my case was I5800XXJPM) and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy 3 to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your SG3 ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your );
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
If all goes well it should come back to life.
If You Find It Useful Click Thanks.

When you said Brick, it's Hardbrick or SoftBrick ?

That's a relaxing thought!

You can skip step 3 - after reboot phone WILL go thrue download phase - this is how the bootloader is built. Just connect your phone, switch it on and after you PC Odin detected it push START - that`s it!!!

Who said without the battery. Connect the mobile to computer without battery,press and held both the volume rocker and then insert the battery . You will get the downloading mode and odin will detect your phone and then flash.

Im sorry. I dont mean to prove you or anyone wrong. Maybe i just got things wrong...
Step 2 says to remove battery.
Step 3 basically means trying to start the phone into Download Mode.
Step 4 Well, if its only me, i cant imagine Holding Volume Down+Home+Power buttons and manage to insert the battery at the same time.
NOTE: I just asked if something was possible. Not particularly in accordance to your Tut. I just asked a general question. Sorry again if i offended anyone.
EDIT: The main reason was my curiosity, if the phone could work on power from the USB. LoL

i think it powers the phone without the battery through the USB cable from PC. never tried it though but i think it works since the battery charges while plugged in usb cable (this means it has juice).

I think its starting download mode when you put in the battery :S
If you are really that curious as to whether it will enter download mode just on usb power you dont have to wait for your phone to get hard bricked, just try it.

same here bro. i too changed my motherboard from samsung service center
and i dont this one is same as the previous one

unfortunately that doesn't work for me... stupidly enough, I tried to change something in the firmware file (just the logo.png file), and then it got stuck during flashing in Odin. So even more stupidly, I disconnected the phone, and when it didn't turn off I just took out the battery, and since then it behaves as a total brick, and doesn't even show any sign of life when I try to turn it on, or when I try the above mentioned methods (Odin doesn't detect anything).
Any other ideas, or things that I may have done wrong trying to revive it? and do you think that the JIG method could work?
thanks

Bricked - Cant Access Recovery (Software or Power Button Issue?)

So to make a long story short this is the events that lead up to my current issue on my i9500;
1. Flashed CF Auto Root
2. Flashed philz_touch_6.48.4-i9500 recovery (worked)
3. Installed pac_i9500-nightly-20140823 via recovery
The issue I had was that my phone would randomly restart and boot loop till I pull the battery. This happened about twice in the week after loading the new rom (I was running stock 4.4.2 prior). two days ago the phone refused to boot even with pulling the battery. I eventually got into download mode by pulling the battery at the yellow triangle otherwise it just reboots. I could also not access recovery mode at all.
I have tried flashing the stock firmware (XFA - South Africa) also trying different recoveries. But the problem remains. I also cannot use ADB as it does not pick up the device.
I am wondering if this issue may be the power button that broke or if my rom/recovery could be at fault? Also what else could I try in your opinion? I feel sending it off to a Samsung repair center may be my last hope :crying:
Thanks in advance!

Could be the power button.
Doed it reboot in the download mode too?
I couldnt get that part..
Generally the random reboots are linked to the bad power button only..but there can be a lot many reasons to it.
Kernels. No proper OP prescribed method of installing roms. Or a rom issue in itself.
Depends.

Thanks for the response.
Let me try clarify some points to assist. Once I am in download mode with the battery inserted it also reboots, I have to take the battery out as I see the yellow triangle as the volume up also does not seem to function till the battery is removed.
As for the how I went about installation of the first rom, this was done via recovery. The recovery was installed via Odin. Everything worked for a few days before the boot loop issue started.

It is a power button issue.
Tap it in various directions or on any flat surface to release it
Or open up your phone and softly try releasing it..
For you have installed a knox free rom, thus knox cannot be the culprit.

It seems that I could not get the power button working again, I even tried hitting it flush o a flat surface as I have read on some sites. Guess I will send it off to Samsung on Monday for a repair.

I wanted to update this thread now that my phone is back in a working condition.
The issue was the power button. I got a local cellphone technician to replace the power button and there after flash stock firmware with a TJAG. I did contact Samsung and they said should I not have rooted my phone this would have been covered by my warranty! :crying:

Ehh what? :/ covered under warranty?
Those dumb ssc guys told one of my friend in india that it is a damage done by him so they wont change or make it okay for free. :/
Because it is a physical damage..so he gave INR1000 ($20 appx. After a heavy argument and bargaining) To get it okayed.

Please Help- My Unrooted-Untouched G900F Went Totally Bricked!

Hi Everyone!
I use a SM-G900F. I havent even rooted my phone.
I bought it less than 6 months ago! So its still sort of under warranty.
This happened right after i flew into LA. So i dont think i can take it to the service here., its very unnoying when something like this happens in the beginning of a 3 months trip.
I cant start the phone at all, non of the charging lights work. When i try to open it in factory reset mode it gives an error -data not found-.
I use a Mac, does anyone know if there is a way to fix it without taking it to the Samsung Store?
I will never ever buy Samsung again!
Thanks a billion in advance!

Are you able to go into download mode by holding volume down+home key+ power? If so, you can try using Odin.

I do, but my attempts to recover the phone with Kies did not work, it gets stuck every time, and the strange thing is that Kies doesnt even give me a recovery code. I will try Odin while trying not to void the warranty.
