Hey there everyone,
I really appreciate allthe help I've gotten over the years from the XDA community.
Here goes. My wife's S5 crashed the other night and when we try to turn it on or get into download/recovery modes nothing happens except some vibrations and a blank screen ...except once in a while the image posted here will flash on the screen. Please help, there's got to be a way to reflash functional software of somekind.

Can you get into download mode to reflash? It will wipe the phone, but at least you'd have it functional

Nope no download/recovery mode.

If I could do that, I've rooted and flashed enough phones to solve that kind of mischief this is totally wacked. Also I'm having trouble adding a picture to my posts. Why can't I just upload from my computer instead of finding a host online?
Image fixed

You might need to enhance the image but it's crazy nothing will get me into a download mode. Any thoughts?

This is the way how to unbrick samsung galaxy s
If you have a black screen like the one shown above and you cant boot into recovery and download mode there are three things you need to do:
1. Take Battery out
2. Connect phone to computer
3.Whilst putting battery in press Vol-Down+Power+Home button
This will boot you SGS into download mode and you can just flash a rom with odin
This won't help you if you hardbricked your phone (what usually is defined as not being able to get into download mode at all).
Add "softbrick" in title.

I think Softbrick is the term people use for the state. I had the same problem on Friday night and got a thread by searching for Phone-!-Computer on Google.
To clarify on the OP:
Step 2 is optional IMHO, I attached the phone after I got into download mode.
Also, to explain step 3: Press the three buttons, and keep them pressed while inserting the battery, and and the phone should get into download mode instantly.
Just what i was looking for, but i need the stock firmware for the fascinate sch-i500
Well long story short, i cracked my screen, i can partially see whats showing and im trying to factory reset it from adb, since i dont want anyone snooping on my personal data. I can get into recovery and adb detects the device but i cant figure out the commands to do the wipe, any ideas?
edit: got into download mode, ill just flash the stock firmware over it, oh well....

Flashing a stock odin will not erase your personal data......

Guys, good morning.
I wasn't doing anything here at home and decided to try to revive my old war buddy, the Zenfone 5. It happens that, since that time, I already knew that it will have a hard brick, but I didn't have the will to try to solve it.
Today, when I tried to use the link method:
Debrick Asus Zenfoen 5 with no fastboot, no recovery, and ruined partitions.....
Few days back, I bricked my zen5 with no droidboot and recovery. I even had no partitions. This is how i fixed mine and reverted back to stock. Note: If you need to fix the fastboot/droidboot/bootloader only, then proceed upto step 15 but you...

If anyone has any idea what it might be, I would appreciate the help.
Please don't care about the quality of English, it's all google translator job.
Thanks!
I'm also facing the same issue..
If you're problem solved please help me.
I was messaging a work colleague and the messenger got frozen on half of the screen. I thought it was a video error that would go away on reset so I tried resetting in long tablet mode (sorry I am not using the correct terms) and I couldn't hit the reset button because it appeared BEHIND my facebook messenger. I was able to access it in portrait mode though. So I reset but now my screen has junk all over where the messenger was. I tried to get into factory reset but the options are behind the junk. I tried to guess where the option was and ended up clicking the update button instead and now I'm just sat here with my screen looking like this.

So what can be done?
Boot into recovery mode. Factory reset.
If you can't either the firmware is corrupted and needs reflashed or it's a hardware failure. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Yeah i did the factory reset through guesswork and its still there. I don't even know how to begin reflashing.
I am in ecuador and have no access to reliable shops.
Did the recovery screen display normally?
Nope
