So I have a Samsung Galaxy Gran Prime Duos G530BT and I was installing the TWRP recovery mode on it, the app asked for restart the phone to test the recovery mode, but when I restarted it the phone didn't boot anymore. He just vibrate and nothing appers on the screen.
I can't even get acess to the recovery mode to fix it. Can someone help me?
(I try to use the flash tool since he doesn't boot, but the stock room don't have any scatterd file...)
something similar happend to me..

Thanks for the tip, but I really think I hard brick my phone, he just vibrate when the battery is on, when I try to turn him on just with the charger I get no response, my computer cannot ever reconize him. An since it's a national model there isn't much support for it on the internet (now I do regret getting him). I opened him to try force the reconization, but I don't find the force preloader mode test point and there is no way I can get a JTAG on Brazil.
TWRP Recovery Mode f*** me really hard this time.
Now if someone could help me finding the colo/kolo/whatever point on my phone I would really appreciated.

Am not much sure if ti is hard bricked since you sayed that it vibrates lets look how much characteristics of a bricked device of which it posseses so as to conmfirm that it is hard bricked.
Soft Brick - Struck inBoot loop
2. Super Brick - Stuck atflashing Factoryfs.IMG in ODIN . Also called as EMMC Bug
3. Hard Brick -Dead / Costly Paper weights
4. Dead Brick - No chargingbattery sign also - Mostly = Hard Brick; But there is a window of possibilityby a USB JIG for SamsungPhones.
5. OTA Brick - Encountereddue to updating OTA on a rooted Stock ROM
6. CM12 Brick - when CM12encountered a /data write error. Worst is ODIN Flashing Fails
7. Pixel Salad: This is a problemof the graphics unit or the screen which fails to display correctly the imageand put instead random colored pixels on some areas of the screen or the wholescreen. It’s hard to even let the other members know what you are facing sinceyour screenshots would be just clean as it would have been. This also requiresa need for hardware checking if reflashing ROM doesn't work.
Soft brick means a temporary problem, which could be fixed. Soft brick usuallyoccurs after installing custom rom(s) or incorrect installation procedure whichinstallation/manipulation of files like permission settings, erasing systemfiles that is not compatible with each phone.
SOFT BRICKED
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS TO MENTION FEW ARE
Phone struck on OEM logo.
Phone struck on a ROM logo "bootanimation"
The phone does not simply power up
or any other you can add up
HARD BRICKED
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS TO MENTION FEW ARE
· No signs that can turn on directly
· The Charging won't work.
· Phone not detected when connected to a PC
· The LED's do not light up immediately
· No Sound / Vibrate
· Your phone completely off (Paper Weight)
Simply put it cannot be repaired using SEUS, FLASHTOOL, ODIN or even PC COMPANION.

Even if it's not hard bricked I had no idea on how bring him into life again, since the only signal of life he gives me is the vibration with the battery on.
It could make my computer detect him it would be much easier.

After this is reboots into a black screen after the "galaxy S" screen, and nothing can be done except making the capasitive buttons light up...

Sounds like a boot loop, but I can't figure out why you would get one with the stock odin flash. Try doing a factory reset? it shouldn't be needed, but who knows?
how? tried the "hard reset" whitout luck

In recovery.. there should be a factory reset option. I thought odin did that though.
when it is resetting I can read "mbr checksum error" or similar in yellow text before it's wiping data etc...
Try this ...turn you phone off but keep it plugged into you cpu usb cord and open oidin, next put your phone in download mode and put the needed files in oden and click start I had a hard time getting odin to work right for some reason this may not help but it worked for me. Good luck I don't think you bricked I think you can come out of this.
I assume that you used the partition in ROM Manager? If so I had the same problem as you. The phone would boot up to a black screen with only the buttons working. What I did was flash Eugenes 2.2 Froyo Rom, I surprised that it booted up and worked. After that I flashed back to stock rom and it work as it did before!

I turned the phone off while the usb was connected when the phone if off open odin ounce its open boot up the phone and boot it into download mode from there odin will connect and you can put the files you need into it and click start. This worked well for me when I needed to revert back to factory vibrant after flashing the "Real lag FIX" kernel that made my ear piece not work and some of my buttons not work but boy was my phone snappy and my benchmarks were awesome but what good does that do when your girl calls you and you cant hear her and all she can hear is you saying hellllllllooooooo .
I"ve been trying to flash with odin now for about 2 hours. It gets stuck on DO NOT DISCONNECT. And never finishes.

You have managed to get into download mode right? My device is up and running stock now, but gonna try some other ROM now =)
Glad to hear your phone is back up and running .
i know this is an old thread, but i figure this can help someone later... brick is a common search term, and i figure this will come up in a search and this will save time for others...
here's what happened to me. i was flashing back to stock and was in download mode. the blue bar was moving etc and murphy and his dumb law decided to kill my my usb port... i thought the phone was DEAD! nothing i did woke the phone up. no battery indicator, buttons didn't do anything... it was all black. holding up/down and power didnt turn the phone on and into recovery or download mode... the phone was DEAD...
then after scouring the forum forever, i finally got the phone into download mode...
NOTE: i don't recall if the usb wire was plugged into the computer or not... i think it was though...
NOTE2: samsung drivers should have been installed already...
- remove the battery
- hold vol up and vol down buttons
- reinsert battery
i thought WOO HOO!! I GOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE!!!
the next issue i had was getting odin to recognize the phone... it didn't detect what com port i had. but after a lot of reading, i finally got it to work...
- open odin first
- then get into download mode using the steps above...
after odin recognized the port the phone was plugged into, i flashed back to stock rom using the instructions given on this site... and my dead phone works again...
i was able to fix a dead phone!! this phone could be un-brickable!!
i hope this helps...

this is the answer :
-----
Dear Alzubair ,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Electronics.
Reference number:2104286715
Regarding your case, kindly note that the image you have displayed on
the screen of your phone, indicates that the device has entered the
Recovery Mode. The reason this happened, is because you have tried to
update the device’s Firmware, which isn’t actually released yet, and
that’s the reason why the Software crashed as well.
In order to get out of the Recovery Mode, please follow the steps below:
Recovery Process
1.Remove the battery and reinstall it. Power On your Phone
- Phone display “Connection picture for Phone to PC”
2. Recovery Mode in Kies
If upgrade failed in upgrade step, you can see next Pop-Up
- Select "Yes”
Firmware Upgrade program progress to recovery mode.
3. Select "Recovery" button.
4. Read the caution and check “all information has been verified”
- After this, it’s same with Firmware update Process
5. Click “Next”
- Firmwareversion display
- Firmware file is downloaded to PC
6. Firmware update
- After Firmware downloaded, Click “Next”
- Firmware update start
Caution
- Never disconnect or turn off the
device in thisstep
- If so, recover the phone refer to
recovery section
7.Complete
- After Firmware update complete, the device reboot
automatically
- Click “Next” Button
To do this manually instead of using Kies, please click on the Power
button, the Volume down button and the middle button all together all at
the same time. The phone would flash for 2 times, and on the 3rd time,
please remove your hands fromthe phone, and it should boot up normally.
I hope this has been of some assistance to you. If you do have any
further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us quoting your 210-4286715

at least they help me
I just tried it ( by the Manual way ) and it Works
so this works on the semi-bricked, no 3-button combo enabled phones ??
.. let's say, after a bad/failed bootloader flash ?
someone please confirm ?
later edit:
from what I understand after reading this, Kies can force any (Phone--!--PC) SGS into recovery and/or download mode?
if so, can we "extract" this feature and make it into a stand alone solution for half-bricked phones?
That's not a real black screen, I got one and my phone got the BSOD: No possibility to power on, no charging, nothing.
The "phone ! computer" is just a semi brick, get back to download mode and reflash with odin...
But thanks for the info indeed.

Some SGSs can't access download mode from that screen because of the proper bootloader that's missing. (3 button combo fix needed, not so safe)
wish samsung also adds a feature to kies that fixes the IMEI =D

2day i triad it two times and it works
but from what i understand same thing happened to me today ..
i did the 3 times flashing way :
BE SURE THAT YOU disconnect THE CABLE!!
To do this manually instead of using Kies, please click on the Power
button, the Volume down button and the middle button all together all at
the same time. The phone would flash for 2 times, and on the 3rd time,
please remove your hands fromthe phone, and it should boot up normally.
Then its work and downloading mode appear i installed an official Ver. by odin ( check on Re-Partition ) then it will work (work for me after the same thing that happened : No possibility to power on, no charging, nothing. )
Does this means that the phone has a secondary bootloader or what I dont get it, I already sent my phone to samsung so I cant try, I had my phone bricked stuck at a black screen after the S logo.
hang on... so it sounds like samsung is saying that phones that dont go into download mode straight away from vol-down, home and power need to keep holding the power button until the power cycles 2 times, then let go on the third?
i cant test it now because after i bricked my phone (black screen no power on or charge) i sent it back and i got a new motherboard with 3-button enabled... but this does make sense because when i had a 3-button disabled phone previously i did manage to get it into download mode from the phone-!-computer screen by trying different timings. it took a long time but eventually worked.
so it would seem if this is the case, that it is just a different boot loader and a different key combination to access download mode, but working nevertheless?
can someone test this?
Cant believe it, if the phone does has a secondary bootloader then it cannot be bricked forever.

"all information has bee verified" means put phone in download mode and connect it to PC (can't do it without working 3 buttons combo).
"manually instead of using Kies" = same thing, doesn't work without 3 buttons combo.
This doesn't works if you didn't have 3 buttons combo enabled. I used heat trick instead and then patch aires P-SBL.
I sent my phone back because of this black screen of death. I could get into Download mode, and the other (vol-up) mode too, but no upgrading or changing firmwares worked to fix it. And Kies didn't see it, though Odin eventually did.
Wondering now if the Black Screen of Death was fixable after all, but then would Kies have to recognize it first?
I have a phone ! pc bricked phone right in front of me, I've tried this and a million other combinations, nothing works. I'm not being super pessimistic or anything it really doesn't work. I've left it with a phone repair store overnight and they couldn't fix it either. Im going to visit samsung/optus tomorrow.
edit:
I also want to point out that that message contains some horrible english supposedly from samsung UK
d47:
I am exactly in your shoes. Even with the overnight leave at a GSM repair booth-thingy. Im also considering handing it back to the retailer, but havent tried the heating up trick yet... Maybe its worth a try ?
I had to reboot my device due to problems with my speaker. Now i'm not able to boot anymore.
I'm only able to get into ODIN Mode, and flashing new FW or TWRP does nothing. It'll flash correctly, but as soon as it sends the reboot command the device powers off and does not boot, and no, it does not reach the "Galaxy s8, powered by android screen".
It does not want to power on, and only responds to the odin button combo, can't boot into recovery either since nothing works.
I was running the latest version of Renovate Ice if that matters.
I've searched trough some other threads, but it seems like i'm the only one that's having this problem.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 1: I've tried flashing both AQK7 and AQG5. Both flash fine, but as soon as odin sends the reboot command to my phone, it turns off and does not turn on.
Auto Reboot is ticked. Same goes for any version of TWRP, it will flash, but when it has to reboot the device turns off and does not turn on. There's nothing on the screen, its completely black and the only thing that does work is Download Mode. I've also tried ereasing nand, and repartitioning storage. Both seem to have 0 effect. As stated in one of my replies, i was running the latest build of renovate-ice with magisk, no other mods, or themes installed.
Im a bit confused - you can only boot into download mode (not into twrp?) and the phone is in bootloop? Have you flashed anything (mod?) before or activated a substratum theme which could cause this?
The only thing I can think of is a) you delete in twrp file manager the corrupted file, if there is something like this or b) a twrp restore from a backup. Boot into download mode and then do not press vol up to go into odin mode but press vol down to reboot - then immediately press the combo for twrp and you will get to the recovery. This helped my s8 many times when I was in a bootloop and couldnt boot up twrp

Thanks for the reply! Other than using the Renovate-Ice rom, and running magisk the thing was pretty much stock. wasn't messing around in twrp either. Its not stuck in a bootloop either, it just refuses to do anything other than go in and out of DL mode. The phone does not respond to any button imputs other than DL mode. As stated in the OP it does not boot at all, just a black screen. i've already tried to reflash a stock FW and TWRP, but that does not seem to work...
try the method I did - this is the last thing I could think of, before reflash the whole phone with odin

if you can get into download mode then get into download mode and leave phone, then download samsung smart switch for your pc (older version like 4.1.17022_20 from here http://www.filehorse.com/download-samsung-smart-switch/29268/ that allows phone based recovery), once installed open it, then click on more at top right, (do not update the software if you get a prompt) select emergency device recovery...., then click on right tab (device initialisation) and fill in your phone details etc., connect your phone (in download mode) and follow the process, maybe it works, you'll need to root and install TWRP again but thats no big issue.

I've tried this just now, and it still gives me the same result, it goes trough the process, but as soon as it has to reboot it doesn't boot anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion though!

I've had a case on the phone since day one, and I've checked for water damage, but there is non. The tab that is supposed to indicate it is untouched. But thanks for your input! I appreciate it
I have the same problem. Its look like is bootloader issue. try flash this soft :
G950FOWA1AQCC_Recovery
But if you are on newest rom it wont work.
Hello, you can solve this problem?
HI
So i was trying to restore my LG G2 D803 phone and I accidentally unplugged it when I was doing the LG Tools process, I turned off my phone so I can reset it but now it doesn't work anymore. So now my phone can't use Firmware Update, and every time I tried to escape it, by hold the power button or anything, it goes back to Firmware Update where its now at 0%. What do I do now?
EDIT: I think the problem i'm facing right now. Is that it keeps going into a glitch download mode when I turn my phone on, and I can't access download mode properly or factory reset, due to going back to the glitched download mode. I tried to flash it properly, letting it drain battery on itself, and turning it off FULLY & turning it back on, where all these methods would just lead back to the glitched download mode.

You can try flashing a kdz for your model in download mode with lg 2014 flash tool. See links below, there might be YouTube tutorials, not sure.

Yea I tried using the Flash tool Way but it doesn't work, I think the problem is that the LG is stuck in download mode so I can't do any Flash tool stuff or anything, and I can't restart my phone because it would just go back.

Can you elaborate more when you say it doesn't work?
After you hit flash on the software, don't do anything for like 25mins. It may show you error messages on computer, that it failed or whatever, pop up windows, don't click on anything just let it stay like that. The progress bar can also be stuck on the phone, not a problem. Give it that 25 mins.

It didn't show any progress on the phone, and also said an error on not working. And there would be no change in the download screen, like it would say that nothing is downloading from the USB port it is in and etc.
But I try to wait for 25 mins and see.

I cant do it for now, but I think the problem is that my phone is in a loop of download mode, i mean that everytime I turn off my phone and turn it back on, it goes back to download mode without me pressing the buttons.

You must turn it off completely before booting in download mode. Keep pressing and holding volume down+power for a minute, it should completely turn off after one or two LG logo. If it doesn't then you can unplug battery. After that you don't boot with power button, then you boot with download mode method.
Video from complete shutdown - putting USB in computer while pressing volume up button and starting download mode - software recognizing your device - checking all the correct options in software - hitting flash button - state of phone after flash started.

No, like it automatically goes to download mode wihtout me pressing the buttons, and if i do it the normal button pressing way with the power and volume up, then idk if its the glitch version. But the problem im trying to solve is fixing it so it stops going automatically to the glitched download mode when i turn it on

K firstly, Im not trying to be rude or anything, I just need help fixing my phone. If I somehow offended you in any reason why, im sorry. And I literally don't know much about phones, but I was trying to make sense on your instructions and making sure Im not going to mess it up. If you dont want to help anymore, its fine, im grateful that you tried to help
Also I know how to flash it properly and put it in download mode properly, its just that its always going to a glitched download mode so I can't download anything, or put it in factory mode.

No you shouldn't, rather I am sorry, made a bad judgement call. I left room for confusion in my post. Should've said unplug and plug back the battery. Perhaps you thought if i meant to leave it unplugged.
As your main problem was to stop it from bootlooping into a glitched download, it can be done with holding power and volume down for a minute or two.
But since that didn't work for you i suspected button/hardware failure and so recommended to reconnect the battery.
Another way can be, to let it be as is, so that the battery drains itself and after that charging it with a wall adapter. And see if it stops booting into download itself, or displays a charging only screen.
Anyhow, I hope you find a way out. Feel free to ask anything again.

Nah its ok, that happens to me too sometimes.
So I was going to try to unplug my battery and reconnect it but then but before I was, i was testing some other stuff with the button commands stuff (I mean like the download mode with pressing power and volume up adn stuff) and I think i was able to get the actualy download mode, not the glitched one. I was able to download a bit for the flash tool so what i'm testing rn is to see if I can do the full factory reset and see if that fixes it.
PS: I was already doing the flashtool before so its fine if I erase my data

Sounds like a bootloop, i once fixed it by using another usb port and usb cable. Sometimes they get disconnected for bad connection and cause this kinda error. If MD5 is available, please match yours with original after downloading files. You can keep flashing, maybe try a different kdz later. There is also a TOT method which i never tried myself. This phone is almost impossible to brick permanently.

Sorry for the late reply, just been busy flashing my phone. So I been trying to re flashing my phone using the TOT method because the kda method isn't working, but either 1) it keeps crashing when its downloading 2) cannot recognize the phone to my computer when my phone is in download mode but says its not connected to my computer. Before, it did kinda work, it kept crashing but it lasted a bit longer sometimes, but I had to reflash it because the software update was glitched where it says its on the notification bar but wasnt there. So for rn, i'm still trying to reflash it.
I donno much about the TOT method, haven't tried myself. Getting a hunch that there might be hardware issues somewhere which is interrupting the process and not letting it finish, could be the cable, pc usb outlet, phone's micro usb port....perhaps a loose connection or something else.
If i were you i would stick to the kdz, as it's working somewhat better for you and they all serve same purpose in the end. That youtube video is actually a good step by step tutorial.
Please help ASAP. I tried to install lineage os with MindGapps. After I flashed lineageos with twrp, I rebooted it and now it doesnt turn on. I tried to go to download mode, but doesnt.
The phone doesnt turn on. When I press and hold power button + volume down button for 7 seconds, samsung+knox logo appears and then 'phone bootloader unlocked' warning appears for few seconds.
An hour ago, somehow I managed to open its download mode. To test how it got opened, I restarted my device, but unfortunately, I couldnt go back to download mode. Is there any way to solve this problem? I want to go back to download mode
Hold the volume + and - buttons down at the same time and then plug in the usb cable into the phone.

I first flashed twrp-black or something and it didn't work properly so I installed twrp-official downloaded from website. But then, after installing the official one, the recovery got corrupted. I couldn't boot into downloadmode, but luckily, it was just some key combination that was wrong, so, with a right key combination. I booted into download mode and reinstalled the initial firmware.

Yes, it just looks like it is bricked but it is not yet completely bricked.
The solution was simple.
First, completely power off device (don't restart, just turn off). After that, by certain keys combination, go to download mode.
It seems it doesn't work while restarting but works if it is completely turned off.(At least in my case it had been so)

I do know how to enter in download mode, but even when I upload the TWRP again and start over the process it get into the same black screen. I was wondering if Samsung Knox is blocking this action.
I have a one A20(SM-A205F).And I when installing the rom with odin in device, I unplugged the device cable on pc. Since that time device no reaction.PC, seen one second device's processor name. Can I bring the device back to life ?
