Phone doesn't turn on, pls help !

My phone was kind of soft-bricked, I was getting some error and couldn't get through the recovery mode.
I tried to re-flash it to stock using odin and after repartitioning mobile turned of and now it doesn't react to anything.
I've tried all combinations I could think of - mobile is just dead, black screen...
Has anyone had similar problem, is there any solution other than bringing it back to samsung ?

hmmm maybe a little more information can help us
like ROM and what were you doing before this happened.

The best phone in the world

I was on Obsidian v2
Then I tried to restore to a previous (Bionix Fusion) version which bricked my phone - I was getting an error (don't remember the exact error and can't check it now - something about not being able to mount) every startup and couldn't get out of the recovery mode.
Was trying this solution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817186 - and after the step "Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass"." my mobile turned off and that was it.

Many thanks to Thegreat520
Following his advice I was able to enter the download mode and finish recovering.
Wow, that was scary

Perhaps you could post the advice that helped you? The regular battery pulling - volume buttons holding thing?

Can't enter download mode

I've tried searching the forums here on xda and google and can't find a resolution to this.
Today I flashed a stock ROM (XXKE7) coming from lightning 6.1 and now when i try to get into download mode I get
can't access to '\system\csc\XEU\system\'
All seems to be working fine, but I can't enter into download mode now.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Do you have stock recovery?
Volume up + Home then Power

I've tried vol + home and power and just get a yellow triangle with text. So no stock recovery.
Picture attached.
Would a USB jig sort it?
Thanks

^^That is stock recovery.
Download mode is volume down + home + power

You know what that means....
I'm thick!
Thanks again.

I have to serve you a dose of Sosa mate, sorry.

Use a USB jig. It ushers you into download mode. It also gets rid of the triangle that appears if you use cfroot. So you really need it.get it from ebay

[Q] Black Screen , no boot !!!!

Hi there,
I tried to root my new GNote , but I messed up with a silly mistake after I flash another rom for SGS2 ( this is a reminder to double check the procedures TWICE ) using Odin3 v1.85.
My GNote now in black screen and never boot ( of course ) .....
The device still recognized by Odin3 ( I saw the box becoming yellow everytime I connect the USB cable ) , but of course I couldn't go in download mode !! However, I downloaded the stock rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310513 ) and I tried to flash it using Odin3 , but no success !!
Also I could see the device using the adb devices.
Please help to recover to the stock rom.

So you have now a sgs2 bootloader.... You need a jiig to put it in download mode and then, you will be able to flash a stock rom with odin. This is what I have down to reset my flash counter

Sure you can go to download mode.
Shutdown, hold start, volume down and power button at the same time until the screen appears. Release and it will go to download mode.
Now you can flash using odin.

Still no Success

Open a command prompt, navigate to your Android SDK,
Adb reboot download
If that doesn't work then you'll need a jig

Pressing the power button for a longer time will shut it down as well.
Or
Take out the battery a bit longer, hold down volume button already before putting in the battery.
(sometimes it starts by itself when you place the battery)
Keep trying.
Suddenly it will happen.
I'm almost sure....

Think so... Before that try this.
1. take out battery along with sim card and sd card
2. Hold both Up+Down volume buttons
3. Plug in the usb to connect to your pc
4. putin your battery back.
Will work I think..

I received a huawei 8800 -51 ideos x5 from a friend, because he was in the middle of flashing process when his laptop turned off. he was restoring a CM7 image.
Is it there any option of revival ?
I connected it to my laptop, but the phone doesn't charge, turn on, or start on recovery.
Thanks in advance.

It's hard and it won’t work all the times. You have to try several times
1 - Take sim card inside and get a micro SD card you can format.
2- Grab original firmware from Huawei site
3- Put dload folder inside the SD card you have just formatted
4- Turn the phone with Vol+/Power buttons hold until the firmware update screen starts
5- Cross your fingers

Did it work for you friend?

My friend: I Can't enter to pink screen. I don't know how to get there. The only thing I know is that the phone doesn't charge or turn on. Sorry my bad english.
Thanks in advance !

Well, reading your answer, i noticed that i did what you answer to other person. Even that doesn't work for me. If i cant enter to pink screen (pressing +/-/power), is there anything that i can do for this phone ?
