NO. I have no access by USB, Is not recognized by any computer with the samsung driver.. I only can get to the Odin screen via the Power and Vol-Down.

Hold the power button and volume up until you see the samsung logo then let off of the power button. Then clear everything any do a factory reset. This should work

Do lots of research before embarking on something like this. Make absolutely sure you know how to recover your tablet before doing any kind of modifications to it.

Got good info in previous posts.
Holding volume DOWN + power button brings you to a recovery screen, either stock(factory) or TWRP / CWM recovery.
Holding volume UP + power button brings you to odin which then gives an option to continue or Restart.
You first need to root before flashing roms and also need to flash whichever recovery you prefer. You didn't mention if you had done so or not so I must ask.
If you can get into odin download the latest odin on your computer and your computer will install the drivers once you connect it via USB.

OK
I try both method with the Vol up and down with the power, The unit just turn off for about 3 seconds then the samsumg logo appear and inmidiatly the "Downloading page" and keep on a loop if I keep the buttom down. As I say before the only diferent is to get to the odin screen that I explain in my last reply. I don't have USB access, when I connect it it say USB not recognize

When your phone is in odin download mode connect to the computer open odin then go to your control panel and into "device manager" and check if your device shows up in there as an unknown device or not. If you have adb run the command "adb devices" as well and see if you get anything.

Did you check you "device manager" on your computer to see if it is even showing the device either as an unknown or maybe an error. Are you running Windows 7? Just to be clear, when you try holding volume down + power then when it turns on release the power button while still holding volume down until recovery screen comes up all you get is "Downloading...etc .."
As far as plugging the device in while in odin mode after pressing volume up to continue and plugging into computer you said you get an error on your computer correct? Just trying to gather all the info I can to see if you can fix it.
If its a driver issue or not recognized it might be due to the MTP which would lead you here for a solution.
What has happened at this point is you tried flashing a custom ROM on an un-rooted device with a stock recovery. Now at this point your phone doesn't likely have any of the original software in it to allow you to boot let alone even do a a recovery from stock recovery. Your lucky the device even powers on first off because if it was a hard hard brick the device wouldn't boot, charge, or flicker the screen regardless of button combinations and would need jtagd. Now even if you could return it they most likely wont because of the custom binary count at a 6.
most of all I need to know if your device shows up in device manager on your computer most likely located under portable devices. You might need different drivers at this point.
See if any of this information can help.

Read all the posts through the second page depending on your system you might have to do a different step. Wish I could explain more but without being in front of your computer its too hard. There is also a link in the first post to download the latest drivers also. Make sure you're using the factory usb cable that came with the tablet.
You're tablet is repairable just need to get the drivers working just dont go do anything else to the tablet itself until the drivers are working.

Sorry for the delay, I was looking for the original cable. I just find it but is still not recognizing the USB. I did follow up the link. Is say that the driver is update. The Samsung driver also say is installed but I don't see it on the Device manager. I don't really have a clue. I try to go to the Samsung folder and look for the .ini but I don't know which one if there is any for the Device manager. I try also. IS you have time I can gave you access to my comp via Teamviever is you want.

[How-To] Button combos for the Blessed

Bricked your phone? You've come to the right place, if you're one of the blessed. A lot of the newer Captivates have button combinations disabled. Before you go modding your phone, make sure that you can get into download or recovery using these button combos. If you can't, your best bet is to return your phone to an AT&T store and beg for a new one.
THE BUTTON COMBOS
Power-power
Download-volume up+volume down+plug in usb cord
Recovery-volume up+volume down+power
There you have it. Thanks for reading.
What is the point of this when there are 3 methods in the Odin 3 one click thread which is a sticky? Just curious how this deserves its own thread.
When my phone was stuck at the Galaxy S logo, i was able to send the adb reboot recovery command to it to get into recovery mode.
Are bricked phones normally stuck at the logo too, or was it just me?
I wanted to link to just the button combos in the bible. Also, the one click Odin isn't a sticky anymore.
From mah fonez
Why don't you just link to a single post in a thread or post in the odin thread and link to that single post? Just a suggestion so there isn't too many threads started for just a little information like you posted. Great work on the bible though. Glad to see a lot of stuff being compiled into one thread.
How does this relate to development? With a title like this, i thought we had some button hacks.
BAH!
You should also include more than the button combinations as well if you're going to make this post useful. Simply holding the volume buttons + power will do absolutely nothing on my phone. I spent a good amount of time looking for more detailed instructions on recovery mode when the phone was new and no one posted them. There are also a lot of posts that talk about the at&t splash screen flashing and when to release the buttons but that's not terribly useful either. Download mode is a little more covered but still has lots of people giving different instructions. For those the future new people that might read this thread,
For Recovery mode:
Power off
Hold both volume buttons
Push power
Release power when you see the AT&T splash screen
Release the volume buttons a second or so later
After the splash screen goes away you should be in recovery mode
Continuing to hold all three buttons will simply cause the AT&T splash screen to flash at you. I can also continue to hold the volume buttons after releasing power but it is not needed.
For Download mode:
Power Off
Plug USB into computer
Hold both volume buttons
Plug USB into phone
The above will immediately send my phone into download mode. For flashing, most people recommend the steps below to maximize the chance of success with Odin
Power off
Remove battery, sim, microsd
Open Odin
Plug USB into computer
Hold both volume buttons
Plug USB into phone
Put battery in
You should now be in download mode and free to flash with odin.
I agree with the holding volume up and down while plugging the phone into the computer with Odin opened and configured to flash soon as it detects the phone.
All other methods only add confusion.
How do I get out of download mode?
oh nvm, I just removed battery and I could reboot it fine.
I am stuck on this screen

You have odin started before you plugged in your usb cable into your phone or computer? Does you computer recognize you phone in mass storage mode? The screen shot you provided shows the phone is not recognized by odin.
I got it now but I am stuck even further odin finished no errors and now the phone just loops on the att logo, or if I try to plug the usb both up and down volume buttons pressed to enter recovery mode again it just loops the battery charging any ideas thanks
This is all covered thoroughly in the "READ BEFORE FLASHING" sticky. Which everyone should read BEFORE flashing!!! Hey, what a coincidence.

ji6 update no com message in Odlin after plugging in holding both volume buttons.

Anyone run into this? Did a search on the forum but got nothing...
This is what I am following
Step 1.) Open Odin.exe and plug a usb cable to your computer that will connect to your phone (do not plug it in to the phone yet, just the computer)
Step 2.) Hold down both volume buttons at the same time and while holding them down plug the usb into your phone. You should see a COM message show up in Odin.
Step 3.) Leave all check boxes the way they are. Do NOT check the repartition box.
Step 4.) Click the PIT button and select the 512.pit file
Step 5.) Click the PDA button and select T959UVJI6.tar and then click Start
This true?
STEPS:
1. Power down phone with no USB cable connected.
2. Once you see “good bye” connect USB cable.
3. Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.
4. Hold vol+ and vol-.
5. Press power until screen goes black, then let go of power only.
6. Should see the yellow digger.
7. Once your in download mode open up Odin v1.3:
8. Uplug your USB Cable and plug it back in until you see a Green COM port show in Odin
9. Check PDA under Files [downloaded]
10. Press PDA button and point this to the .tar file extracted from the firmware update. (T959UVJI5(FUS).tar)
11. Press Start and be patient you will see progress bars on your phone and in Odin if all is working properly.

Whats the phone usb setting suppose to be? I've tried Media player, mass storage and samsung Kies with no luck.
It doesn't matter what your phone's USB settings are. You have to make sure you have the Samsung drivers loaded on your PC. And, you have to make sure you're in download mode. Here's the process the I follow (copied from somewhere on here I'm sure, sorry I can't give proper credit), it's worked for me every time:
1. Start ODIN Odin3. [Android + SLP], through ODIN select the .pit file from the ROM you want to flash.
2. Hit "PDA" button, and through ODIN select the .tar file from the ROM you want to flash.
3. Plug your TURNED OFF PHONE into the USB cable
4. Wait for the Battery/ charging indicator to start
5. HOLD VOL UP+ VOL DOWN+ POWER, as soon as the screen goes black RELEASE POWER, and continue to HOLD VOL UP+ VOL DOWN Until it enters download mode. Which should happen quickly and looks like a men at work highway sign.
6. If a COM port has turned Yellow in ODIN, then the device has been recognized. If it hasn't, unplug and plug your phone back in (I always have to do this).
7. Don't select any options other than what's set at default unless the particular ROM's instructions say otherwise.
8. Hit Start and be patient, it takes me maybe 5 minutes to get back up and running.
NOTE: If you do not see a blue progress bar on the phone's screen after a minute:
9a. Turn your phone off by pulling the battery.
9b. CLOSE ODIN
9c. Start at step 1 again.

Thanks a lot.
In my case the phone is recognised by Odin 1.3 only in recovery mode. When I get into a Download mode no yellow com message and I can disconnect and reconnect as many times as I want to no avail. And I have USB drivers installed and I can do "adb reboot download" as well. This is when I do all this with the phone off. When I do it with the phone on, it will be recognised by the Odin, but after I choose the pit and the rom and click the "Start" it will go int SetupConnection and then "All threads completed (succeed 0/failed 1)
Seems like I am having trouble even getting into the download mode the phone just boots up as regular, trying to reinstall samsung drivers right now.
now I am getting this
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

Yeah no matter what I do my phone just seems to boot into regular mode.

I had problems with ODIN my first time too. First of all, are you running windows 7? If so you need to download and install the correct drivers. There is a thread on xda with both the 32 and 64 bit drivers. Another thing, I have readwhat seems like a dozen different methods for getting into download mode, but only ONE has ever worked. Plug your phone up to your computer and wait for the battery charging icon to completely show up... THEN hold down both volume buttons and power on. Let go of ONLY the power button when the screen goes black. A few secs later you should be in download mode. As for ODIN not seeing your phone it really sounds like you just need the drivers installed. Make sure "usb debugging" is turned on in settings> applications> development. One other thing to note, once in download mode with ODIN up and running you MUST unplug your device from the usb then plug it back in. Once you do this ODIN should see your phone. Now you should be good to go! I hope this helps and good luck!
Tried that, tried this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqxearzXrVY
No luck, this is really frustrating argh
I can get into download mode and my drivers that I have downloaded from Samsung site allow me to do adb shell stuff. So I assume that the driver is OK.
But no luck being recognised by Odin and only in the Download mode.
Really strange.

Yeah I am on 7 64 bit, installed the samsung 64 bit drivers. I will try this 2-3 times I guess. I hear some newer vibrants are locked from using hardware keys to get into download mode.... true?

Honestly I wouldnt mess with a hw locked phone . You should try to get it replaced . There is an adb command to get to download mode if you want to try that .

When I first used ODIN, it didnt recognize my phone either. After open device manager on my pc (windows vista), I saw that I was missing a Gadget Serial Control driver. I had a lot of trouble finding it, but read in an android forum that Samsung NPS was needed to use ODIN. I dont think that is true, but I installed it and found that I had all my needed drivers. JI6 flashed without a problem at all.
As far as d/l mode. I removed sd and sim cards. Have USB plugged into computer with ODIN opened. hold Vol + and vol - simultaneously while plugging the USB into the phone. D/L mode should come up automagically. If it doesn't, you will need to find the thread on how to go into it via ADB.
Hope this helps...
Another option is remove battery press and hold volume up and down plug in usb put in battery and the phone should go into download mode

If you're not using Odin3 version 1.3 you should give that a try. Seems more stable to me, others say the same. See forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790026 (I can't post a working link since I'm a newbie here).
Odlin recognizes my phone no problem, I think its hardware locked "3 button issue" that prevents me to get into download mode. Now I need to figure outif its possible to get into download mode without pressing buttons.
Ok if you can use abd to get to download mode tar file has been created today that fixes hw locked phones Http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802763&page=2

Bricked Acer Iconia A501, Need Help Plz

I have a brick A501 that when turn on, it stays at android logo and wont boot...i tried to flash it with SD card, vol- +power with full package file, update.zip, but the phone just wont boot to flash mode....tried vol+ power it shows update pack=sd.update.zip..booting recovery kernel image and stuck there...
phone was brought in this stage and don't know the history..how to unbrick this phone please?
I'll take it you bought this used? And didn't bother to check it first?
Or if it was bought from a legitimate retail store. it would be just as easy to return or exchange it?
Regardless, 2 things you can try.
1. Hold vol - and power. Hold until you see small words in the upper left corner. Then release and wait 30 seconds. If it had a custom recovery installed, then probably somebody tried installing custom roms and messed things up. If you do indeed have a custom recovery, then don't do something stupid. Just power down the system, and post the results here.
2. You can try the pinhole reset near the power on/off button. Not sure of the exact procedure, but maybe tablet off. Hold in the pin then power on. You might do a google for the exact procedure.
The bad thing, is that you give very little history, so we'll have to try several things.
EDIT: Forgot to tell you, it is a Tablet, not a phone.
this is the solution .... but it works only if you were debugging active on usb

Thanks for your reply...First of all my customer brought the phone to me for repair. Maybe he was playing around with the updates and custom roms...
Anyways phone now cannot boot, only shows android...I followed the EUUs procedure, power off, push and hold reset, then power, it shows as APX device and install automatically after I did the reset+power...but the EUUs cannot find the phone after done reset+power...
As I mentioned, when I tried SD card method, Vol down +power, it won't go into flash mode..again the phone state now is when turn on, it's stuck at android..when i press vol up + power, it shows boot recovery then show and stuck at green android guy and sometime stuck at acer logo....thanks for taking time to help...i appreciate that.
No Problem.
The fact you still have life, means it can probably get up and running again.
In the 500 forums, there is some info about APX mode, and a couple users that managed to get it running again. You'll just have to look hard.
If I find it, I'll post a link here later. I just can't remember where it was
---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------
Also, refine your search for the term "APX" to search within the threads. Not the title. I remember it being buried within a thread.
And now, must do some work.
---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------
Another thing,
Saw a user who couldn't flash a rom (data wasn't getting wiped)
Although he did still have a recovery menu, it wouldn't wipe the data (probably a corrupted recovery.
Somehow, he installed the AcerRecovery to his pc, and was able to communicate with the tab, and re-flash a fresh recovery.
He managed to be able to install a rom.
So, you might also try that as well. AcerRecovery is in the market.
Also, booting to the normal recovery (if installed), is PWR and Vol -. Not +. Hold till you see the text in upper lt corner.
Thanks again for your help..but up until now, after many hours of searching for solution, I still cannot fix this tab..I got the phone to be in APX mode (reset +power), on the screen it does not show anything but PC recognize and device manager under USB shows as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile Device..I tried to use USBView to get UID, it shows weird numbers and letters under Instance ID,USB\Vid_0955&Pid_7820\6&d26abb4&0&4, instead of 15 # and letters as it suppose to.
Besides that, when I run the EUUS software update when it tells me to press reset +power, and YES, it didn't see the phone in APX mode and won't proceed...
I notice there's SNID # and IMEI # under the simcard and SDcard cover..can we use one of these # to get UID?
Any hope I can revive this dead phone? Thanks in advice...

To Get ADB Working try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48361867&postcount=68
The OP of that thread and one additional (and similar) command found later in the thread fixed up my recovery bootloop.

Have you tried to get to power mode? Press Volume Up & and then plug in the usb cable (enter to a download mode). And flash back to stock.

turn your phone completely off: unplug it from the usb and hold down the power button for like 20sec. the phone should not be turning on or doing anything. then press and hold the power plus volume down. as soon as the lg logo pops up, let go of those 2 buttons and immediately press and hold power + volume down again. this should being up an all white screen with black letters. now press the power button 3 times til you get to "factory resetting". this should boot you into twrp. from there you can do whatever you want. this time do not take the OTA. hehe.
the drivers for your phone will be on lg's g2 site. make sure you've installed those with your phone unplugged from usb. if you have a previous driver installation, uninstall that. the lg drivers have the adb driver inside of it. also make sure you are using the most up to date adb.exe. if not then it may not be able to communicate with your phone. you can get that from android's sdk.

the hard reset writes the same text on the top corner.. i really dont know how to fix the problem i have allready posted a new thread but noone responded ;(
The fact that you see anything, is a good thing. Let battery completely die, and then plug into USB while booting to download mode. I had VERY similar issue and that's worked for me, then flashed to stock.

With your phone on, and in recovery (twrp), plug it into your computer.
Open device manager.
Look for a disabled/uninstalled (marked with yellow) device that corresponds to tour device (in my case all it said was D800).
Choose properties/driver/update driver.
From here, you have to choose all the manual options ("let me choose the driver to install"), not automatic, .
Finally Windows should show you a list of device drivers compatible with your device.
choose the LGE (or androidnet) Single Sooner ADB ...
Let it install
Test your ADB interface (ADB Devices).

Sounds identical to the problem I had. It's like a REAL slow bootloop. If you catch it just right, can you get it to factory reset? And then from there, it just does the same thing?
Ooops.
I saw bootloop twrp.
I missed the black screen.
What do you get when you hold the power button for longer than 15 seconds (force shutdown), then power it back on (hold power for a few seconds, then release)?
If you have a fully non-booting device, warranty it, of course blame it on the update.

turn the phone completely off. unplug it from the usb/charger. while the phone is off, hold down volume up then plug in the usb/charger. you should automatically see download mode pop up. if that happens then you can return back to stock by googling howto's. if not then you will have to take it in.
no devices when you plug it into computer in that state?
Hopefully none of that text at the top of the screen mentions root or modified system.

[Q] LG G2 - Security Error - Unable to do anything at all

Hello,
I tried installing Android Lollipop (Unofficial nightly build of CyanogenMod 12.0) on my LG G2 D802 model and now my phone is totally stuck in the boot. At first it shows the LG logo and then it show the LG logo and the text "Security Error" underneath. I think I've tried all combinations of "button-holding" during startup but I'm not able to access the recovery mode (or any other mode). I've tried hooking it up with the computer (Windows 8.1) but it doesn't seem to see it.
I'm pretty embarrassed by the whole situation :silly: so any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Edit:
I've made some progress, but still not enough to get me through this. For some strange reasons the hardware shortcuts seem to be different for me than what is normally advertised on this forum (and the Internet).
I'm able to get into "Hardware Key Control Mode" using Vol-Down + Power + Vol-Up... not that is really useful.
I'm also able to get into "Factory data reset" i press Vol-Down + Power, then once the LG logo shows: Vol-Down + Vol-Up.
(Other places say I should press Vol-Down + Power, then Vol-Up + Power).
However that doesn't really fix anything. It momentarily shows the green Droid being operated on (1-2 seconds) but then shuts down. Then still the "Security Error"
So now I'm wondering if there is any other key-combination to get me into download/recovery mode?
Try just holding volume up when device reboots. And make sure your attached to a usb, this should get you to download mode. To reboot hold power button until reboot.

Thanks for the reply but that doesn't work either.
I tried the following:
Holding the Volume down button (while phone is off) and plugging in the USB
Holding the Volume Up button (while phone is off) and plugging in the USB
Holding the Volume down + Volume Up button (while phone is off) and plugging in the USB
I've tried two USB ports on my computer, USB2 and USB3. All of the above leave me at the same "Security Error" screen.
I've also tried:
Powering it on while holding VolDown + Power, when LG logo comes up - release it and immediately do the same thing again and hold them down => the phone just turns off
Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button, when the LG logo is displayed release the Power button only then immediately press and hold the Power button again => does nothing.
Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button, when the LG logo is displayed release both buttons and then immediately press and hold the both buttons again => does nothing.
Tried the same as above, but with Volume Up
Hoping for more suggestions!
As this is the internation version of the phone (D802) I was wondering if there might be a different combination of buttons to access the download mode or the recovery mode... anyone have a clue?
I really don't want to throw away my phone
If you have removed your laf partition to allow access to fastboot you won't be able to access download mode. Another is that you say your key combos seem to be different... Where did you purchase the phone? From eBay/Craigslist style websites or from your carrier? It's possible that you don't actually have the model you believe you have.

I did all sorts of stuff when I tried to install this (very hackish and little research) but I don't remember removing the laf partition (not that I know what that is - but I do remember messing with partitions because the phone doesn't have an external SD card). If I can't access download mode, is there anything else that I can do? Is it possible it is ruined? Really?
The phone was bought new from a respectable company here in Iceland and the sticker on the box says it's LG-D802. It has an IMEI number and a S/N (any way for me to verify based on that?)
There's a nice thread on here somewhere regarding unbricking a phone that's lost download mode. I'd link you it but I'm not near my PC ATM. You can verify model on the LG support page I believe. As for the unbricking, be prepared with an Ubuntu live CD to follow the instructions.
Edit: I noticed you said you were messing with the partitions, what exactly did you do with them? It may be of help.

I'm guessing you are referring to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
I hade downloaded Ubuntu and ran it in VMWare but it didn't seem to see any traces of my phone. I ran "ls /dev/sd*" but didn't find the phone there. Windows doesn't see anything either (e.g. device manager, nothing happens when I plug in the USB). Wonder if it would help if I ran Ubuntu directly from a USB stick? (The thread did say it was OK to run within a virtual machine)
Any further pointers appreciated!
Make sure that your phone has been passed through to VMware via the USB status icon in the lower right corner. It may indeed be easier to run it from a USB stick as you won't need to mess with the USB Virtualization layer in VMware as much. And I do believe that is the thread I was meaning.

Hi, this is me again... now posting from Ubuntu (from a USB stick). I tried the instructions given in the mentioned thread but my phone does not seem to show up at all:
Code:
[email protected]:~# ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdc2 /dev/sde /dev/sdg /dev/sdh1
/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd /dev/sdf /dev/sdh
Once I plug in the phone and execute the same command, it gives me the same results. I've executed it multiple times during the phone startup but it didn't show up for one second. I even tried executing it during the "Reset Data to factory" process... no difference. I verified the USB port was working OK by sticking (another) USB key into it and running the command and that drive showed up just fine (using ls /dev/sd*).
Love to hear more - and thanks again for helping out! :good:
Plug it into a windows machine if available and let us know how it's showing up (if at all) in device manager. Look especially for any device mentioning "qualcomm".

Hi,
I see no traces of it in Windows / Device Manager (see screenshot)
It may be a hard brick, in which case you may need to get a replacement. Sadly if you're not seeing Qualcomm devices anywhere in any of the categories in device manager, then the phone isn't entering qcom bulk mode which is bad :/ I guess that if you're worried about warranty you could possibly use the update gone bad excuse to get an RMA but I'm not sure if that will fly.
