Unbrick U8800 with Odin?

Hi there!
I have bricked my phone and it is in "download" mode.
Is there a way to "bring it back" with Odin?
Thanks!
M.

Did they repaired your phone for the second time? If not, what did they said? What did you do in the first place that you bricked it?

Still waitin'
Nobody called me, don't know what's happening with my phone.
Get back here when new info available.

People still doesn't read. I said that it is bricked! Cannot install anything on.

What do you mean by download mode? if you turn it on with vol up and down and power held, what happens?
Try put stock rom (2.3 or 2.2 depending on what was on phone before) in dload folder on sd card and it might flash firmware off that.

If you're on download mode then you can upload a recovery an boot image. Do it and use that to flash any rom you want.

I appreciate people trying to help. But sometimes it is good to stay quiet. So please, don't reply with funny suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello;

For someone how's in need of help, you should take it easy on the atitude and provide more info for those sparing a moment of their lives to try to help you out, no?

I am just trying to say that sometimes it is better to no reply at all.
If i said that the telephone is bricked and only in download mode you should know what does it mean before you reply. That's all. No hard feelings.

Try using a FAT32 formatted sdcard, with nothing in it but the dload folder with a stock ROM.
Couple days ago, I deleted all files from my U8800's FAT32 and EXT4 partitons - yes, even the 'image' folder, connected to my Linux box.
Because I wanted to revert to stock Froyo, i dumped back partition 5, from a backup I did some months ago - but this part is not relevant.
Formatted the card, dumped the dload folder into it, with a card reader; removed the battery and followed the procedure described in your link.
First try, it displayed some error message - can't remember - second try it showed up the pink screen, followed by the blue screen and initiated the ROM flashing. My phone is now fine and dandy... Oh, it rebooted three times after installing stock Froyo, so don't be alarmed when you get there.
Cheers
Good luck

I tried all you mentioned 30 X and more then that But no success
Btw: if you dumped back your partition from backup you had access to internal memory ... i don't have that connection neither on Ubuntu or Windows. I got pink screen but it is in "Download mode" only.
Thanks.

Can you explain me how did you get your Huawei u8800 enter in Download mode if it's a feature of some samsung smartphones to work with odin ?
You're being a little rude for those who're tryin' to help you, you should be more polite ma friend...
You didn't even say what rom were you using... so I guess you don't even deserve any help from anybody.
Peace

I've had download mode on my previous Android device - LG GT540. All it needed to enter such mode was to remove the battery, SIM and sdcard , and plug the USB cable. It would enter download mode and allow a stock ROM to be flashed with the standard LG update tool.
Actually, I dumped partition 5 back to the phone prior to erasing every file system in it, and indeed had pink screen mode access in order to do it...
Sorry it didn't work out for you.

I've installed some custom ROM and after reboot it stopped to boot in HUAWEI logo. And that was it. I have tried to install official ROM's all of them with standard methods (dload folder) but every time ends in step 2/2 (installation failed or something like that). I opened up new thread with that few weeks ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466953
This thread was supposed to answer my question at the top. And some guys did. I don't know how can thread be closed by the author. I've try to find it but with no success.
I appreciate people like to help. But if people don't know what i am asking why answering and asking questions that are answered in many threads before.
You see .. this thread should be as small as possible but ends with looong explanations which doesn't help at all
Peace.

This will do exactly what you need it to with everything included in the download.
Pictures included in the tutorial. Even though it says to recover from ICS leak, the procedure is the exact same.

[Q] Google Rom on S4 boot problem

Hey guys
So I just received my BRAND NEW S4 (i9505), and decided to root/flash it almost out of the box. (Smart, huh?)
I did exactly what CURSED4EVA mention in the 2 videos on youtube about rooting and flashing. The only difference is, when I need to hit REEBOT NOW (after doing the zip, wipes etc), it asks me: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
(It doesn't ask HIM that in that video) - Can't link to him, but search: "cursed4eva Galaxy S4 google edition" - and it is the first video about flashing
I tried clicking yes, tried no, tried "avoiding it", tried restore backup and tried all that in both CWM and TWRP.
All in all I end up with the Google colors just looping and looping. Even tried flashing StockDroids Rom, just to see if it was helping.. but no, same problem.
So now I have a brand new phone, DEAD :good:
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong? It is a i9505 from Denmark.
And and, sorry if this has already been answered. Just coudnt find it anywhere..
Thanks a bunch!

I did the exact same thing and had the same problem! I eventually got it sorted, turned out I forgot to turn on USB Debugging mode before installing CF-Auto-Root. I got stuck at the Nexus loading screen.
I am pretty new to this but thought I would save you the headache, - head over to samersh72's post on unbricking [here], follow the instructions, and you should be just fine, though you'll lose your root and be back at your original stock firmware!
If you need any more help feel free to reply

Dude, thanks man. Will have a look tonight. So basically follow the guide to get back to stock. And after, Awhen Cf auto rooting this time remember to turn on USB debugging mode, right?
Thanks again

well, went back to stock firmware with a perfectly fine phone.
remembered this time enable the usb debugging mode, but problem is still the same. Still stuck at the nexus boot colors.
When I hit reboot now in cwm, it first asks me:
"rom may flash stock recovery on boot. fix"
Then:
"root access possibly lost"

Does not work tried hoosing "no" to both questions
Even if I choose "go back" it's just going to ask next question.
So do I choose "no" to both AFTER a fresh stock firmware install? Maybe try that?

mb525 Help with ERR:a5,69,35,00,27

Hi everybody.
Being short; I had miui 2.3.7f, I decided to change to the new miui V5, but the installation was wrong.
I couldn´t make the Wipes properly because the unit E:\ was unmounted, and the result, a slow system.
I decided to change the rom, but in this case,not using the TWRP recovery. I decoided to flashing SBF files via RSD.
The first one,was interrupt by slow battery, I tried later and nothing happens.
Reading in the forum, some user recommended this one DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-2312_TMOUK_SIGN_DE..
and actually, is the only rom that I tried, that it shows the "M" logo before bootloader
At this point the bootloader 09.10 shows me the ERR:a5,69,35,00,27
I´m not sure but, could be a problem of kernel ? For put a rom of defy+?
I perfectly know, there are 4 or 5 threads about that, I read, but wasn´t useful for me
everything is welcome !!!

I Made A Terrible Mistake!

Hello there!
So, I'm using Zenfone 5 (2G) Running on Official Lolipop
I had my phone bootlooped back in that time, then I flashed a wrong recovery version, it was KitKat version that I flashed, I got into Recovery Mode.
I tried to sideload update packages (both KitKat and Lolipop ROM) and it showed me some error like can't mount /cache (invalid arguments), I expected this as losing partition (If I'm not wrong)
And now I can't even get into droidboot at all, here is the responds from following things I do :
Recovery button combination : Works (Gets to the recovery)
Power button : Shows USB logo
Droidboot button combination : Shows manufacturer logo forever (Stuck)
But, as I said, I tried to sideload the packs and it fails...
Could someone help me? Maybe some easy way to fix this? For a note, I tried bunch of tutorials to fix my device, the last one was xFSTK thing.. I followed every single step correctly and ended up with an error.
Thanks before

Try this:
Download a flashable custom rom, put the rom *.zip file in the same folder with ADB.
Go into recovery TWRP, connect your phone to your computer.
Push rom *.zip file to your phone's internal storage with this command in ADB:
push [file.zip] /sdcard/.
Then flash that rom file with TWRP.

Well, sir, how can I get into TWRP? I can't even droidboot... My recovery that I flashed was stock

deleted.

Basicly the procedure to debrick is same. You need to load bootloader temporary since you have a broken droidboot including your partition. I already have same problem with you before.
Yeah its different, you cant use ww to fix this. Find on official zentalk tw forum for complete detail. Shakalaca post that.

My question is, does this work the same as your files? And, could I do something about it? Like re-use by recycle again the files I've downloaded with something that might help my phone? You know.. 900 MB is not something very small for me.. And maybe I could download separated files that is required.. And make the use of Debrick files I downloaded?
And.. May I have the link of Shakalaca's post, if you don't mind? Thanks a lot, like a lot!

Hey um, I followed the Debrick one. The problem comes when I ran Debrick.dat, from the Cloverview mode (Press vol down and connect to pc). While the Debrick program runs, the phone "boots". Shows up USB logo and it goes red. Few seconds after then, the program closes, leaves the phone on red USB logo. Is this something normal?
Btw that link can't help.

Didn't you try reboot from bootloader. If it solves, it means normal. You must thank to intel for this problem.

Hey um, I have contacted Shakalaca and until today I have not retrieved any reply. This problem haven't been solved. Any idea? I see you know a lot about this, and you're very popular arround here.

This happened with my Asus Zenfone 5 (T00j). Tried every solution available on net without sucess, finally took it to Service Center and they had to replace the motherboard
