So i was downgrading to Kitkat from Lollipop and when finished flashing the ROM through Odin, i found out that i forgot to put the Auto-reboot on.
After powering it down, now the device wont start AT all even by click on the power button
Any help/suggestions please?
Samsung Galaxy A300F
I am almost sure it has nothing to do with auto reboot, something went wrong with the process i am guessing. Its dumb thing to do to downgrade
Try to hold volume up+down with power and homebutton at same time for some seconds, helps me on my a5,its boot to download mode then.
GREEETZ!!!!

Well, I suggest you to try VillainROM 2.1. You will have to flash cf-root (the version of it has to be the same as the version of your current f/w), connect your phone to pc and get the VR 2.1 into your sd card then power off your phone, volume up + power + home button - do a full wipe - choose to install a zip from sd, flash villain and you will be fine..hope so. If you get stuck @ any point, you can scream for help cuz I will be here to support you mate
Forgot to get you this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 It might help you though.
The main problem right now is I can't reboot my GSII so I can't do anything now.
Do you have any suggestion?

Just tell me one thing: is your phone powered on and is stuck? You can't do anything? Even if you pull out the battery and get it back, wont boot or what exactly?
yes, it is power on and stuck and it can't open. I pull out the battery and put is back and it won't boot.

Try to enter download mode (volume down + power button + home button) and flash with odin a stock rom.
The main problem now is I can power on my GSII so I can't enter any download mode and recovery mode.
I don't know how to do now and please help me, thank you.
Just power off your phone. If doesn't work by the power button, pull out the battery. When the phone is powered off, press the 3 buttons same time and you will enter download mod.
Sorry for my typo mistake, now I can't power on my GS2 so I don't know how to enter to download mode

You dont have to power on your device to enter download mode. Just push VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, POWER BUTTON and HOME BUTTON in the same time. Then, push volume down to enter odin mode. After that, connect your cable to your device and press start in odin (before that, dont forget to put the stock f/w into PDA in Odin)
My GSII still no response and I think the row is dead and can't bootup so how can I do? Tks brother
So after your flashing width odin did odin say pass or complete?
You may still be able to get into download mode but just not see it,
When you hold the key combination then plug it into odin and see if it comes
Up with the yellow box that tells your if your device is connected.
edit : so you hold power, volume down and home then you have to press up to enter download mode, after this plug it in to odin and see if you can see the phone.
There is no response after boot my phone and it hasn't say pass or complete.
Then the phone can't open again and I don't know how to do now, please help.

I appear to have bricked my phone while trying to get back to stock firmware. I am using a galaxy s4 on verizon with windows 8 for reference. My problem is I cannot enter download or recovery mode. When I try to enter either of them it flashes for a second and then disappears. After that I have to remove the battery because the phone won't respond. The same thing happens on a normal boot so I am stuck. Also I am noticing that the phone boots up on it's own when I put the battery it. Could the power button be stuck or something? What can I do to get the phone back to working order?
POWER BUTTON FIX: Ok after some more research I found this which solved my power button problem (Can't insert the youtube video until I have 10 posts) but you basically flick the top and bottom of the phone near the power button to fix it.
Now I am able to go into recovery and download modes

Great mate!!
Glad it was easy.
Hey guys,my phone will automatically turn itself on when i insert my battery. Then after the Samsung logo, the screen automatically turns black. I first suspected that it was a battery problem, but that did not turn out to be the case. I think it has something to do with the power button. I also tried to boot it up into recovery mode but the screen still went black before i had the chance to do anything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Even with the charger on?
Why you said that the battery is ok?
It's definitely a stuck power button
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Try to let the battery drain and make the phone die, then try to charge it when its off and get to download from when its off.
Also have you tried a jig to get into download mode and stay there?
I need some urgent help.
I tried flashing a stock nordic rom with 4.4.4 android, and did everything like I should. It did finish at the 'downloading' screen but it turned off, and now I can't turn it on.
I tried pressing volume down + power button, volume down + home + power, volume up + power, volume up + home + power none of them worked. Sometimes when I connect the phone to my PC it makes the sound but it's not recognized.
What should I do?

You downgraded from lollipop?
A few others have bricked their devices doing the same thing
It seems you can't downgrade your bootloader
Try holding POWER + VOL DOWN for at least 30 secs.

Hey. Thanks for your reply.
Yes the phone's android was actually 5.0.2 and I tried flashing a stock 4.4.4. I didn't clear cache/wipe data before flashing too.
I have just tried 2 times your method (power + volume down) for 30 seconds, and unfortunately it won't boot. Any other ideas that might help?
Also I would like to add that I don't have any warranty whatsoever for this phone, and to take it to a service it'll cost me a fortune. You guys are my only and last hope. I heard a debrick.img could help (not so sure about this). Do you know anything about it?

You're phone should be able to be revived by JTAG. Pretty much any phone shop can do this and it doesn't cost a fortune.

They are the factory files. It's what usually comes with an update.

You need to extract the bootloader from the stock firmware, put it in the root of a clean sd card along with the MSM8916_boot_recovery.pit
Turn on the phone using the 3 button combo for download mode.
If it boots to download mode you can then flash the firmware.

Hey.
I got 2 questions. "Extract the bootloader from the stock firmware..." means? Do you mind helping me how to extract it? Also do I have the extract the bootloader from the firmware I tried to flash (which I used to brick my phone) or should I use another firmware (5.0.2 version)?
Also how do I put those files in the "root" of a SD card? Isn't that just pasting the files in it?

Okay cool.
Open ODIN, connect your phone and tick the box next to AP/PDA (Depending on your ODIN version).
Click on AP or PDA and select the recovery I'm about to send you.
Press 'Start' and wait for it to finish its process.
If you are successfully able to boot into TWRP try Wipe>Advanced Wipe and deselect all apart from Data (This will erase all of your settings and app data).
Try to boot your phone!
If that doesn't work let me know I have a flashable zip you may be able to use.

Just flash the recovery through ODIN and let me know if it's working.
Don't forget to boot the phone with Power, home and Vol+ held down to access recovery (After you've flashed TWRP)
And sadly I'm at work at the moment so I can't access Skype.
I will be on here frequently as you can tell so I'll reply as soon as I recieve notifications.

Sorry!!! Forgot to mention, pull battery and put it back in and power it on using Power + Home + Vol Down
You should see a message asking you to press the volume down, press it and then you should have entered ODIN/Download mode. Try ODIN then.
No matter what you have flashed you should always be able to access Download mode.
