Hi there!
I have bricked my phone and it is in "download" mode.
Is there a way to "bring it back" with Odin?
Thanks!
M.
Did they repaired your phone for the second time? If not, what did they said? What did you do in the first place that you bricked it?
Sent from my Ideos X5
Still waitin'
Nobody called me, don't know what's happening with my phone.
Get back here when new info available.

People still doesn't read. I said that it is bricked! Cannot install anything on.

What do you mean by download mode? if you turn it on with vol up and down and power held, what happens?
Try put stock rom (2.3 or 2.2 depending on what was on phone before) in dload folder on sd card and it might flash firmware off that.
If you're on download mode then you can upload a recovery an boot image. Do it and use that to flash any rom you want.
I appreciate people trying to help. But sometimes it is good to stay quiet. So please, don't reply with funny suggestions.
Thanks.

I am just trying to say that sometimes it is better to no reply at all.
If i said that the telephone is bricked and only in download mode you should know what does it mean before you reply. That's all. No hard feelings.
Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.
Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.
Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.
Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.
First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.
Cheers
Good luck

I tried all you mentioned 30 X and more then that But no success
Btw: if you dumped back your partition from backup you had access to internal memory ... i don't have that connection neither on Ubuntu or Windows. I got pink screen but it is in "Download mode" only.
Thanks.
Can you explain me how did you get your Huawei u8800 enter in Download mode if it's a feature of some samsung smartphones to work with odin ?
You're being a little rude for those who're tryin' to help you, you should be more polite ma friend...
You didn't even say what rom were you using... so I guess you don't even deserve any help from anybody.
Peace
I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.
Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I've installed some custom ROM and after reboot it stopped to boot in HUAWEI logo. And that was it. I have tried to install official ROM's all of them with standard methods (dload folder) but every time ends in step 2/2 (installation failed or something like that). I opened up new thread with that few weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466953
This thread was supposed to answer my question at the top. And some guys did. I don't know how can thread be closed by the author. I've try to find it but with no success.
I appreciate people like to help. But if people don't know what i am asking why answering and asking questions that are answered in many threads before.
You see .. this thread should be as small as possible but ends with looong explanations which doesn't help at all
Peace.

Ok...I have to say that I got just 1% of what u said. But I guess that u are stuck with just custom recovery...if you were running a custom rom and u did a full wipe then u don´t have rom anymore. Get a rom to your sdcard and reflash...or just restore a nandroid backup.
In recovery mode, you can not do anything hung up and you can not select anything
I don't know, maybe if he tries flashing the latest 4ext? However, not sure how to get that done.
Before doing that, pull the battery, wait 5 minutes and see if it works.

It is really hard to follow you. Many people in here are non native english talkers, but if knowledge of grammar is missing, try it a different way:
Break the things into small pieces and explain in simple words. Nobody will blame anyone for that.
1) Did you root and s-off /eng-off your phone?
2) Did you install a custom recovery system?
3) If yes, which one?
Then:
1) Which ROM did you install?
2) Did you read the flash procedures from that ROM first?
3) Did you follow that instructions in matters of
3a) - Needed Recovery Manager Version
3b) - Needed to run before wipe scripts
Then:
Did you download the right scripts and
1) checke their SHA/MD5 checksum?
2) Flashed them onto the sd-card
3) called them in the proposed followup from the ROMs description in your recovery?
So, if you can answer the list above in simple words people might be able to help you. If not me, somebody else will for sure.
Best regards

Try a different sdcard....that might be the issue. If the problem persists then may be a hardware problem. Try to get back to stock and send the phone to a service centre.
Hi!
First at all, my apologies for my english erros, i´m from Brazil and I read in english much better than I wrote.
I rooted my Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight and when a I try unroot using a backup image (maded with Roadskil Disk Image) I realized the backup file have only 77mb. The problem is: I already formated all the partitions with "MiniTool Partition Wizard".
Then, when I turn on Nook, after the boot screen, shows this message: "Install Failed".
I already try:
-hard reset (power on + press left and right buttons)
-ClockworkMod + install factory.zip
I don´t know what alse to do...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
ummm .... dont worry ....i had same condition like u but fix , first .... burn ur uncompleted Image to ur nook and have a print screen to ur nook partitions via MiniTool Partition wizard ..... and then post here and remember dont delete ur uncompleted backup .... it's important and lets hope u have a luck with ur back up....
i will replay u between next Friday cuz busy in my exams
good luck
Hi speedman2202, thankyou for answering.
Now i´m working, tonitgh i´ll post the print screen.
But, I made some changes last night:
-Try to recover manualy the partitions (copying with Minitools).
-Sucefully recovered the "ROM" partition (NOOK partition was damaged).
-Hard Reset (8 boots), but nook wasn´t able to reinstall the stock rom.
Now my NSTG are stucked in "READ FOREVER" boot screen (but i can shutdown and reboot with noogie or ClockworkMod).
So, I´m begging to a charitable soul share with me a backup image of NSTG (could be without ROM partition, beacuse i´ve will use mine).
Thanks!
PS: Good luck in your exams.

the very important partition is Rom .... if it still fine .... copy all data from it to somewhere save on ur computer .... and then try get an Nook back up (NST or NST\wGL) they have same partitioning and then burn to ur nook when whn boot with noogie .... then empty all partitions from data (dont format just go to partition and del all files ) then copy ur Original rom files to Rom partition and as u have NSTw/GL then get the latest update from BN or the previous version and unpack them and repack them to Zipped or winrared file and boot with CWM image sd and then install the rar/zipped file ( as i remember zipped file is better) and then reboot ur device .... and should work fine
any misunderstand or problem replay me back .... ur nook cant be boot up successfully due to wrong partitioning ... so u need NST backup or get partitioning table for NST/WGL and partitioning with ADB tools .... Miss Renate did it for me once .... but i dont know how .... let me put u some useful links later
good luck
Thanks for your help speedman2202!

you can't use download mode but you can still enter recovery? that's pretty weird... are you sure you're trying correctly? are the drivers properly installed and stuff? if it still doesn't work, then go to this section of the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9500-develop there you will find plenty of roms you can flash with CWM recovery

Hi mate,
Lets go step by step.....
If you can get into recovery you can get into download...
1. Press and hold Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.
2. Release the buttons when you get the warning message.
3. Now press Volume Up button to confirm.
after you are in download mode lets flash a stock rom back in you can follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
or go to sammobile and get the latest one from your country
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
same one you had or newer ,
Another option would be ....
Take external sd out of your phone and use any posible adapter or device so you can use you pc to place a custom rom in....now place it back in your phone and from cwm instal the custom rom...
Stop panicing. This is basic rom flashing.
Just flash a custom rom from within cwm.
