Here are some quick tips :
(Here I'll use the terms like Download-Mode & Recovery-Mode, If you dont know what are they please click here. There "BOOT to RECOVERY" & "BOOT to BOOTLOADER" means how to enter into Recovery-Mode & Download-Mode respectively.)
A Bricked Phone May Have One or More (Below Problems) :
1. Booting to the ROM(Android) not possible.
2. Booting to the Recovery-Mode not possible.
3. Black screen or Bootloop(Repeated Restarting of Phone at Boot Animation or Samsung Galaxy Y Logo).
Possible Solutions :
(Remember there'll be data loss using these solutions so always try to keep a backup)
1. If you can still enter into Recovery-Mode
(a). Try to clear Data & Cache then check.
(b). Try Installing a Custom ROM using CWM(ClockWorkMod Recovery) & check.
(For Custom ROM & CWM Visit here.)
2. If Recovery-Mode didn't helped Enter into Download-Mode & flash an odin supported stock rom(using ODIN 1.84 or 1.85) from Doky73's Thread(Flashing Guide in 2nd post).
*You can inform me, if anything left out.
Note :
1. I'll be not held responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
2. Before posting try to search for similar type problems out there & try the solution, if that doesn't solve your problem then post here.

galaxy y bricked
i bricked my sgy last 3 weeks.
here's what i did.
-installed creedsix rom.
-installed UOT kitchen Themes.
-wipe data
problem
-stuck in bootlogo
-softbricked.
-cant go to recovery mode
-flashed too many times, still stuck in bootloop
i flashed at least 20 times, with different firmwares.
but still no luck, still boot lop.
my professor said something about secondary bootloader that might help. but i had definitely no idea what it is.
i asked some techies on the mall, and they said that this phone must undergo the JTAG process. but it cost $20.
help me. thanks.

can you go to download mode??
(try pressing volume down+ home button + power button all at the same time)
if it still can, then your SGY is still good
go to this ---> thread
and just flash your country's firmware

From where you got the firmwares.... How you flashed...
Ever tried re partitioning.... Ever flashed boot loader....
For info... Jtag or boundary-scan is used for testing & servicing high technology electronic boards...

just for info, jtag will not fix the problem. IT IS SCANNING.. like trouble shooting.
that only means that those technicians are pretending to be well educated but the truth is that they only wanted to get some cash out of your pocket.

this one will a little bit off topic...what is creedsix?is it a rom for SGY?
if the phone still can boot that means everything is fine. pull out the battery, wait 10 seconds, reinsert the battery, do three magic combo button, you'll enter recovery mode. don't worry about our bootloader. our bootloader is stored in different partition thus installing any custom rom won't affect our bootloader. as far as i know, there is only one person who have messed up with bootloader and got an ultimate hard brick.

a hard brick is when our device doesn't respond to power button.
the guy that I've mentioned above is doky73. he accidentally flash a bootloader for sgs2 into his sgy. last time he said that he send his sgy to samsung service center and buy a new one. I'm not sure if samsung has revived his sgy.
edit: I didn't to offend him but I think I've mispelled doky's username. edited.

whatever It may be... You should never mess up with bootloaders, if you don't actually know what's there significance...
Brief description on android starting process :
pbl(primary boot loader "boot.bin") executes first and then it executes sbl ...
Sbl(secondary boot loader "sbl.bin") is responsible for responding to combos...download mode.. Intercepting odin commands..... booting system...booting kernel.... Charging your battery while switch off... Etc etc
Harm anyone of them... And Your phone goes into lifetime hibernation, Hard-bricked.

Hi to all, it's only my second post but i have a major problem with my samsung s-5360. it's won't boot anymore, but it can enter cmw and recovery. This is what i did wrong i believe. At first i installed morocs 1.8 kernel on creed fusion version 3.1 and it wouldn't boot anymore, so i ended up using a back-up i made before with cmw. And it worked well and phone was booting again and was on stock again. ( because back-up was made with stock-version obviously )
Then i thought: well let's try repensis noob version. And installed it and there was also an update 2 and installed it over it as well before booting the os, maybe this is what i did wrong dunno .. But afterwards it didn't boot anymore and whatever i tried, restoring one of the 3 images i made, or using one of the roms posted here like Creed fusion 3.1 rom or Aurora 2 nor Chobits didn't work.
I also tried reverting to stock with odin 1.85 but when i connected my phone via usb to the pc, odin didn't see my phone. ( after selecting the 3 tar files in odin ) Maybe i'm doing wrong something there.
What i also have to add is that when doing factory wipe in recovery it says formatted E: but unable to format E:\dev10 and dev11. clearing cache is no problem and also cleared dalvik cache. Can you please help me out ? I know, it sounds very noobish but well, i have to face it because can't do it myself without help anymore it seems ... Thanx a lot in advance.

please make sure that you've installed the driver and plug the usb to computer only on download mode when flash with odin. dev10 and dev11 are the partition for data and cache. that error means something was wrong with your recovery mode. you'll need to install a fresh stock rom with odin.

to be precise: the guy was Doky73...
I was playing with different revisions of SBLs because on SGS2 some old SBL gives the possibility to reset custom bin counter via JIG. At a given point accidentally browsed SGS2 bootloader instead of SGY one...
But I did perfect job, the service center wasn't able to detect the cause of bricking, but they recovered my phone under warranty. (I think they're not reading this forum )

[Q] [q] installing custom recovery and booting recovery

Dear Xda peoples,
i decided to root and install a custom ROM after owning my note 3 for a couple of months,
running android 5.0 lollipop this is my first rooting & custom OS experience ever...
so far i have managed to unroot my device, checked and tested this superuser acces and such !
so the next step was to flash a custom recovery to my note 3, i tried 2 ways.
1 was by Heimfield or something, after alot of trouble withouth any particulair results
2 was a clockwork recovery by odin and this succeeded according to ODIN....
next step was BOOTING in recovery mode.... pressing volume up, home and power button at the same time..
there is just no way i get it into recovery at this point. it starts downloading mode and gets stuck into this mode untill i re-flash the recovery and let the device auto reboot by ODIN setting....
i tried taking out the battery for a few seconds and didnt manage to get into recovery from this point either.....
i've managed to get it into recovery before. once and this was the stock recovery.... not the clockwork one...might have been overwriten as i have read...
please HELP ! i really want a taste of cyanogenmod on my device

What model and what recovery did you flash .
But you should start by reading the faqs and guides before blundering into bricked phone land.
Custom recovery custom rom voids your warranty knox tripped no way back on N9005.

the model is SM-9005
i tried to put on n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-kk(0812), also tried n900-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-(0812).
followed a youtube tutorial with the exact same model as i had.
thanks in advance !

You have a N9005 and you flash a product for a different phone N900 . Please read and understand the basics .

thank you for your reply.
the DL link on the website said 'Download CM11 ROM for Galaxy Note 3 (for T-Mobile SM-N900T, Sprint SM-N900P, Canadian SM-N900W8, or SM-N9005)'
aslo these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079 show 'for galaxy note N9005'

You said n900
Try TWRP Recovery .

Same problem as stephannote3
whoa...so frustrated...been trying this for 3 evenings....reading, re-reading...just thinking I'm missing something so minute (e.g. when I pull the battery out...do I need to "unplug" as well)?
Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900P 5.0 version (lollipop)...build number LRX21V.N900PVPUEOC5. Done everything as instructed....even pulled battery out
Because I can't get into CWM recovery...I can't make a backup either (possibly considering "unrooting" and starting over)?
Please help...I'm trying to root so that I may tether...?

You have a Sprint then post in the Sprint forum .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3

i tried: 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-hlte.img'
when i try to start up in recovery mode (volume up+ power+ home ) it tries to start up in recovery mode but fails.....
gives me 3 lines of text with the midle one saying 'RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID FORCING'
Please... HELP

PLEASE HELP. SOFT BRICK. ODIN back to stock gives boot loop.

Please someone help me. I've spent countless hours readying and trying different methods to fix my phone.
Background
1)Bought S5 in 2014. Rooted with towel root. Did not install any recoveries or mess with bootloader. Used phone for 2 year without a problem. Bought S7 and put S5 in a drawer for past year. Fired up the S5 a week ago and used for 2 days without a problem.
2)Phone just randomly crashed while using camera. Tried starting it up and it went to permanent boot loop (Flashing of Samsung S5 screeen). Went into recovery to factory reset but phone continued to flash start up screen and not boot.
3) I tried rooting/unlocking with odin/safestrap method in this post "https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529/post71202995#post71202995 "
4) I have 15' EMMC phone. The phone booted up after odin flash of "COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and I made it through the rest of steps until the last step.
5) Upon flashing EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip the phone went into bootloop/flashing Samsung s5 screen.
6) I tried using odin to restore to PB1 stock as mentioned in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72152905&postcount=3
7) I used odin to flash S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit. Then odin to flash G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5. Finally, I used odin to flash G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5. Again, the phone just goes into flashing the samsung s5 screen.
8) Trying to enter recovery mode, just results in looping of samsung screen with "blue recovery" in the top left corner.
9) I tried repeating step 4 above but after odin of "combination" file, it goes right back to boot loop.
10) My download mode screen says:
Current binary: Samsung official
System Status: Custom
Reactivation lock: Off
qualcom secure boot: enable (csb)
Secure download: enable
Please please help.

This is exactly what happened to me, after using Odin to flash G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5 from the said thread you mention my phone failed to boot normally again, The phone booted up after using Odin to flash "COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar" but when plugged out of the charger/system it will keep vibrating and rebooting none stop.
Please have you find the location to your own problem, if yes please kindly post how you resolved it, but if No, I think @jrkruse, @GeTex, and other dev should help us on this, please.

Yes I could flash any rom and or file within reason of coarse.
but would never come off sammy logo every now and then it would make it to a optimizing apps page didnt matter if it was stock roms or aosp or stock firmware unrooted through odin.
Now again this was a note 4 but does seem similar

So can I flash a new motherboard? Cause I sure don't know how to replace a motherboard. (JK about flashing one)
Uggh, so I guess I'm stuck with a new paper weight. That pretty much blows.

Yeah that does suck if you put that pit in the pit slot and put that tar in ap and clicked start and it flashes then reboots and does nothing but stay on the Samsung screen then you have some sort of hardware issue which might require a motherboard replacement.

The PIT file isn't always necessary for flashing the stock Firmware back in a device.
When obtaining the Stock Firmware, be sure it is the equivalent or later release from what you have. Very few S5 Firmware Versions can be downgraded so be sure that yours can before attempting a downgrade or you may end up with a Soft/Hard Bricked Device.
Typically the following steps are taken:
1) Enter download mode on your device then plug it into the USB cable connected to the PC.
2) Open Odin and be sure that the it's seeing the COM port number for the device.
3) Place the Firmware image in the PDA/AP spot.
4) Be sure that the ONLY options that are selected (or checked off) is the "F. Reset Time" and the "Auto Reboot" & NOTHING ELSE.
5) Press the Start button.
That should be it and, hopefully, these steps work for you.
***EDIT: I had attached an Example screenshot of the ODIN display so that you can see an example of what's reflected in ODIN regarding what the options should be.

Please someone help me. I've spent countless hours readying and trying different methods to fix my phone.
Background
1)Bought S5 in 2014. Rooted with towel root. Did not install any recoveries or mess with bootloader. Used phone for 2 year without a problem. Bought S7 and put S5 in a drawer for past year. Fired up the S5 a week ago and used for 2 days without a problem.
2)Phone just randomly crashed while using camera. Tried starting it up and it went to permanent boot loop (Flashing of Samsung S5 screeen). Went into recovery to factory reset but phone continued to flash start up screen and not boot.
3) I tried rooting/unlocking with odin/safestrap method in this post "https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/testers-required-easier-root-method-t3561529/post71202995#post71202995 "
4) I have 15' EMMC phone. The phone booted up after odin flash of "COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_G900VVRU2APA1_VZW2APA1_2572656_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and I made it through the rest of steps until the last step.
5) Upon flashing EMMC_15_VZW_QB2_STOCK_MAGISK_ROOT.zip the phone went into bootloop/flashing Samsung s5 screen.
6) I tried using odin to restore to PB1 stock as mentioned in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72152905&postcount=3
7) I used odin to flash S5_KLTE_USA_VZW.pit. Then odin to flash G900V_Firmware_PB1.tar.md5. Finally, I used odin to flash G900VVRU2BPB1_G900VVZW2BPB1_G900VVRU2BPB1_HOME.tar.md5. Again, the phone just goes into flashing the samsung s5 screen.
8) Trying to enter recovery mode, just results in looping of samsung screen with "blue recovery" in the top left corner.
9) I tried repeating step 4 above but after odin of "combination" file, it goes right back to boot loop.
10) My download mode screen says:
Current binary: Samsung official
System Status: Custom
Reactivation lock: Off
qualcom secure boot: enable (csb)
Secure download: enable
Please please help.

You need to install using odin the last update avaliable for G900V. The last update is QF2. Download from updato and flash it..
If this not work. Idk what happens.

Help please, I bricked my J730f

Hi, I got a 2nd hand J7 pro with Android 7.0 on, no root or anything. I used Odin to install TWRP, and it worked just fine.
The next day I tried to install the official 8.1 update using odin, it took 4 minutes and passed on Odin . But the phone won't boot, it reaches 30% of Android updating progress then it reboots to a blue screen with a yellow triangle and an Android figure with an error no commend. I tried installing multiple ROMs, thinking that the ROM I installed wasn't the right one , no seccess.
After a while, I managed to reinstall TWRP with the touchscreen working, on an official 8.1 Android. but the phone is stuck at the black screen with Samsung J7 Pro. (Not boot looping, just stuck)
Please tell me if there is a hope to get it back, even to the 7.0 and how?
Thank you.

Can u boot to download mode? If yes try to downgrade to 7.1, or use twrp to wipe all the system and install one of the tw based roms avaiable here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7-2017/development
Edit: did you tried to wipe data and cache before boot? I've had a lot of struggle to boot samsung roms before doing that

Thank you for replying!
Yes I can boot to download mode. From what I read it's not easy to do downgrade.
No, I didn't wipe anything.
I'll try the TWRP method, I'm downloading this [ROM][8.0][TW][J730X]PrometheusLite A8+ Port V3.0 - EOL. And I'll keep you posted ?
Thanks again!

I highly recommend you to get the note8 port first, since TW oreo roms may not work on some screens

It's not bricked so no need. As long as it boots to download and recovery mode it's possible to recover the device.
Warranty is already blown.
@Doppler Effect
Post a screen shot of download mode.

oh yes i forgot. you should find your official firmware on sammobile.com

Somehow fixed!
I flashed the A8+ port, the touch didn't work but I was really happy seeing it boot, then I saw your 2nd reply.
The note8 port worked! with some bugs
I had to reroot using a SuperSU zip worked
The Sim is readable yet I can't make phone calls.
I think it has something to do with the CSC and OMC or something like that, working on it.
Thank you to everyone who has replied, much appreciated.
