My galaxy y is bricked. There are alot of threads but i couldnt find one that really suits me. All the fixes require entering recovery or download mode. But my phone wont enter either.
I was using Hyperion 8. It stopped working after sometime. At first i could access recovery mode but couldnt clear dalvik cache. Now i cant access it altogether. Any chance of revival? I bought another phone. I am just trying to learn to fix a bricked phone, and maybe put it to some good use other than.....well a brick......

You can easily install stock rom of GT-S5360 via ODIN.
Hope it works.
How do i do that if i cant access download mode? I tried vol down+power+home but instead of download mode, the samsung logo comes up and then the phone does nothing
You cannot access download mode because your device has this combo disabled,
a download mode JIG (samsung has lot of JIGs and testpacks) cans make the phone access this special mode.
Even if the combo is disabled.

This sounds promising. I will definitely try it out. Thanks in advance.

1) Turn off and remove battery
2)Put the battery back in and immediately hold the back button
3) Plug in the USB cable while still holding the back button
4)Your screen will remain black, but its in recovery mode, and the flashing software should detect it
Source: Sony Update Service, I installed it and it told me to do just that to get into the recovery mode
Looks like were one step closer into getting the X10 rooted
I'm afraid this doesn't work

It does - it just doesn't display the things we are used to with HTC phones for instance.
This is SE's standard flashing method(and recovery mode). It's the same for their WinMo phones and for Symbian.
It puts the phone in a special flash mode ready to accept a new ROM/flash.
As OP mentioned the screen will remain black throughout the process.
shud try fastboot when its in flash mode..
Code:
fastboot devices
or
Code:
fastboot boot randomrecovery.img
worth a try aint it!?

Yes. You can backup sms from the Messaging application by pressing the menu-button while in thread mode. And use MyBackup to backup settings, apps and everything you need on the SD-card or online.
Would this still work if the phone isn't being recognized by the computer? (correct drivers etc are installed).
I have an xperia Ray, so I assume it's the same method... I get no response from plugging it into usb or charger, it won't turn on, although sometimes if I hold the power button it gives a brief vibration. I think it might be bricked :-/
Ok so I feel like a complet dumb A$$!
I'm not a noob at these things but somehow (whilst under the influence) I managed to flash a att odim rom over top of the t-mobile vibrant! So now when it powers on it shows the att world phone splash, goes to black then loops.
I've tried just about everything I (already knew) and looked up here to get the frappin thing back into download mode, and it just keeps giving me (when the usb is plugged into the pc or battery charger) a spinny logo, followed by a grey (not green) battery icon, then black screen, then repeat.
Am I screwed?
I tried replacing the battery, doing the 3 button recovery, 3 button download, etc..
I'm sorry if this has been posted before but I'm disparate, and thought the gods of this board could help!
Open Odin and then hold the volume buttons and plug your usb cord into the phone. That should get you into download mode. Go find the .pit and .tar files for JFD and and flash them through Odin you should be safely back in your phone at that point.

Although since you flash an ATT rom into a tmobile phone your bootloader could be messed up. Im not actually sure about that at all though. Just seems possible and logical.

Yea - you may have messed the boot loader.
I would suggest buying a Jig.
A thought:
If you loaded a different brand ROM the vibrant way of entering download mode will not work anymore - maybe look up how that phone enters download and try?
Another thought -
Ive had it where I wasn't in "download mode" but Odin saw the ROM COM port. I flashed anyway (desperate) and it worked. (Id try the Jig first)
Find out how to go in download mode for att captivate..
Try those button methods because that's to only thing that'll work for you.
No jig can save you
Hey guys sorry for the late reply! Not long after I posted it I found the youtube bideo of the "jig", best $3 I've spent at radio shack!
Here are some pics..

Hi all,
I am so sad and feel myself as a idiot.
I had D802int version of G2 with rooted and PhilZ Touch recovery which is based on CWM.
Due to not deliveried to my country of KitKat i tried to update my phone with this guide
Everythings were fine. After that i tried to change my TRWP recovery with CWM for external usb storage to restore my nandroid backup and i follow this guide
But I think missed some instruction so my phone stayed in black screen with LG logo (bootlogo - no animation just frozen)
When I try recovery mod it says Secure: Booting error Cause: Boot certification verify on white screen and reset rapidly.
So i check several topics and i applied also download mod and back to stock (kdz uploader method)
For download mod it couldnt jump 2nd step stayed in like this

}
it couldnt go on 2nd step like this
when i plug usb cable pc didnt recognize as well (no plug-in sound for driver)
Can you help me pls. If I rescue my phone i will quit a long time for this kind of works i think

He just stated that he can go to download mode.
OP your issue is drivers. The phone is not connected to the pc. Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and see if that help

*Title should read CAN'T get to download or recovery*
Hi guys,
I've rooted all of my phones, got in a few scrapes, but always been able to get into recovery/download mode to rescue a phone that's having problems.
Tonight I updated my CM13 Galaxy S5 to the latest nightly (last update was a nightly in March) using the built-in method (Setting > About ... Download .. Install) which has always worked, but tonight I seem to be stuck worse than ever:
Phone stuck in loop at "installing system update" screen, it flashes briefly then reboots . Around once per second.
Need to pull battery to stop
Won't enter recovery (goes to step one)
Won't enter download (also goes to step one)
I can't get to download or recovery!

You could try a usb jig (available for less than pocket change off eBay) this will force your phone directly into download mode even from a powered off state simply by plugging it into the phones usb socket.......

USB Jig did the trick...used Odin to pop TWRP on again, and that did the trick. It rebooted and came back to life, thank you!
On reflection, I think the problem came about when I started using CyanDelta. With the last CM update (the first I did with CyanDelta) it put Cyanogenmod's recovery in place over TWRP. Next time I tried to use CyanDelta it wouldn't work, so I updated via Settings > About > Update....which seemed to cause the problem.
Now, question is, do I stick with the Motorola Moto G 3rd gen I bought to get me through this week...or go back to the S5!
Glad it worked fella.....
As to which phone to use......
Now *that* is a question only you can answer.......

So my brother in-law decided to try flashing a ROM onto his Galaxy S7 SM-G930 but somehow managed to flash a ROM meant for the Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935. Needless to say this resulted in some serious issues. He tasked me with trying to fix his mess, but so far I am at a loss. Here is what I have tried to get the proper firmware back onto the device:
Galaxy S7 Recovery = No worky
* Tried Vol Down + Home + Power
- Results in some kind of diagnostics menu that is in Chinese or something
- Managed to get phone to go to fast boot from here, which has at least aloud the phone to boot and have a useable interface.

Galaxy S7 Edge Recovery = No Worky
* Pressing Vol Up + Home + Power
- Results in option to Select Boot Mode (YAY!!! Right? ....Maybe not)
- I select recovery Mode and it freezes for a couple minutes, then reboots the phone without enter recovery mode.
Basically I am not seeing a way for me to get to the point where Odin is helpful. Does anybody have any other options or suggestions I could try?
Have you tried to see if adb works on any of those modes? If it does try to adb reboot bootloader
adb not working either

I did try adb after making my post yesterday. I was able to connect to it fine, and was able to use adb reboot bootloader which gets me to fastboot. Nearly everything I did there didn't give me good results. Including fastboot reboot emergency which results in the phone restarting normally.
Also doing adb reboot recovery results in normal restart after pausing at all black screen for 1-2 minutes.
Did you try to flash a stock image via Odin after you ran the adb reboot bootloader?

You know, I suspected that when I first saw the diagnostics screen all in a foreign language. After digging into it and checking the firmware and comparing to iFixit's teardown of an S7, I am leaning heavily toward this being a knock off device.
