bricked phone and odin help? - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I unsuccessfully tried to root my phone. Now I'm stuck with this message: "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help." Of course AT&T is no help. I'm trying to run Odin to try to undo all of this, but everytime I try to run it as an administrator it won't open, just the Odin thing with some foreign characters, then closes. It will run regular, but won't recognize my phone when I do it that way. I'm stuck with a decent phone that doesn't work and my CRAPPY replacement phone. If you have any advice, please let me know! Thanks!

Anyone???

It sounds like your Odin version is corrupt. Redownload it, run it as admin with XP Compatability (right click, prkperties, compatability)
Make sure your drivers are good, put your phone in download mode then connect it to the computer AFTER starting Odin.
Make sure you've allowed OEM unlock in your phones developer options.
And Don't Double Post. Its rude and unnecessary.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Tab

First time posting. As I was attempting to use odin to put the phone features on a us galaxy tab, I think I may have bricked it. I have tried looking at various threads for fixes. At this point I can still get into download mode, but now when I run odin it recognizes the tab but it fails when it attemps to write a file to it. At this point I feel like I'm spinning my wheels, but it doesn't appear to be totally gone if I can get into download mode.
Any help is greatly apprieciated

First thing to do is not to panic . If you're in download mode then there's an excellent chance that you can flash the device. Odin can be a bit temperamental I've found on the few times I've used it. You could try using Heimdall. This has always worked for me (though I'm on OSX, not Windows). I think there are some guides on this forum for flashing using Heimdall. Give it a go if you can't get Odin to work.
I tried hemidall. Istalled drivers but when I try to run it it says it can't missing msvcd100.dll

You're missing some Visual C runtime components. Install this. This is explained on the link I posted previously.
Im in download mode, charged the tab, but now when I plug in the cpu its not recognizing it anymore
I got the drivers back on my cpu. Odin can recognize it again, but it still won't write anything to the tab. I have also installed heimdall, but when I try to use a pit. the start button is grayed out and I also have flash failures from heimdall too. Any more suggestions?

My P705 in emergency mode and Not being detected by the computer

I installed 10k rooted on my P705 and was about to install a custom recovery, when the phone came on it was in emergency mode but the computer could no longer detect it, I have tried all the usb ports on about 4 computers and changed the cable trice, So I'm a little bit sure it's nothing to do with the pc. I have tried putting it on holding volume + and -. Any help will be really appreciated because I am stuck right now.
I have gone through the forum for like 6 hours, I couldn't find anything , I apologize before hand if this was treated elsewhere.
Did you try flashing your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher) while in emergency mode?
Remove the Drivers and plug the phone in our PC.. maybe reinstall the Drivers
yes I did try to flash it but the computer doesn't detect it in the first place. So I get a " no phone found"

thank you but that didn't work either
Just to be clear, you're trying to flash your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] (KDZ-Flasher), while in emergency mode (your phone in is that yellow emergency mode)?
If so, then maybe try the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
I'm not familiar with it, but I read here that it's an alternative to Software update.

Thanks but Thats not exactly the problem, It DOES NOT READ to begin with. If the laptop could detect the phone, then I would be able to flash "anything". My problem is the laptop cannot detect the phone....
I'm confused - what do you mean by "DOES NOT READ"?
Your wrote that you are getting "no phone found" in Software update [KDZ].
So I asked if this is happening when you are in the emergency mode (your phone screen is kind of yellow and there is "emergency mode" in it).
I also wrote that if you were in emergency mode, then try LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
use another computer, maybe a problem with your OS (windows)

Heres the problem, its not detecting, If you can tell me some way to make the laptop detect the phone in emergency mode, I will be extremely grateful, ps kdz equally says no phone found cuz.... the laptop cannot detect the phone and LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL equally cannot find the phone connected to the laptop.

Okay, I got it.
Did you install the latest drivers?
If not, you can do so by downloading and installing them from your support site or by downloading and installing LG PC SUITE.
After that please open device manager and see if there's anything there with an exclamation or a question mark. If there is, please don't continue and post back what it is.
Only when you see that everything is okay, disconnect your phone, turn it off, enter into emergency mode (by clicking volume up + volume down + power button), make sure that you're in emergency mode (the yellow screen), connect your phone, run Software update [KDZ] (KDZ-Flasher), make sure to set the right type (CDMA / 3GQCT), make sure to leave the PhoneMode in DIAG, browse your kdz stock firmware file, and then click on "Lunch software update".
I'll be looking forward for your comment.
Please don't give up!

Same problem here. I downloaded a program called Optimus Toolkit, as I have an Optimus LGl45c, and the program is for
Linux. Same problem- CAN'T SEE PHONE. Program must use ADB, which CAN'T SEE PHONE while it's in emergency mode, as
apparently the correct partition isn't mounted!! Windows KDZ updater sees phone (try the solution from another blog- run in
different compatibility mode: right click on program>properties>compatibility. this worked for me) but the KDZ Updater can't
find the LGMobileDL.dll... lol! wait til you try it!...) So, for he/she who suggested LG PC Suite, please listen. Suite CAN'T SEE
PHONE either, and refuses to run any further....
Anybody have any tricky ways to flash a boot? It would have to be a Linux hack method.....
I think he did not check usb debugging so cant find phone
Not sure if it will work but no harm trying at this stage:
take out batteries,
wait for 30s,
put it back,
hold power and volume down
when keys light up, touch menu button (not the home button)
feel vibrate?
LOL!

K. A couple weeks later- for those of you with l45c:
You will get to the point where you find that LGNPST is the only thing that will flash. Having troubles registering the .dll? That cost me
over a week. Move the dll to your system/lg electronics/lgnpst folder and open the cmd window (terminal screen) as administrator.
Edit: Use the command> regsvr32 "name of dll".dll
You should google the regsvr command, as it is different for 64 bit machines, and there is a different system file to put the dll in..
Trouble is, we have no proper dll for the 45c. I tried the ms690 dll with an ms690 bin. Unfortunately, it flashed all the way through- and
now I have a perma-black screen... so don't try that.
I DO have an LGL45C-CT2 binary.... just no dll for the 45c, as usual. Not that it would matter- LGNPST cant see phone any more than
ADB could- there is no more 'emergency download'. I will check the battery, etc...
Morale of story- once again, there is evidence that the l45c is not supported. It is not an MS690, and probably not a P690... Use
LGNPST at your own risk, but quit pounding your head over other methods! Time wasted...
Until next time... keep hacking....

Download Odin if you don't already have it and the matching firmware for your model put phone in download mode and flash with firmware should bring you back
Don't panic!
Firstly, make sure you have the correct drivers so that Windows can see your phone (search on here).
Secondly, if Kies won't work, Odin probably will. Odin (again, search on here for it) allows you to flash any Samsung firmware to your phone (Search sammobile.com for firmwares, but MAKE SURE you get firmware for the correct version of Note 4).
Hope this helps.
ive downloaded the correct firmware for my phone now what do i do in odin
I'm at work at the moment, so I can't spend too much time on here, but this should help you out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/note-4-n910f-original-firmwares-t3189968
my phone keeps disconnecting then connecting while i connected to odin
Try setting everything up in Odin, and then connecting your phone (in Download mode). Wait for the connection to be recognised by Odin, then click the button to start the flashing. Always works for me.

This is a bit thin.
A bit more details, you don't manage to go to edl mode ?
Did you try zadig to to get the right drivers working ?
What do see in device manager ?
Can you boot to stock recovery?
Did you tried to start from scratch with the guide, not the toolkit ?
No detail, no help
Edit: if you use only the toolkit, may ask in the toolkit thread for help ???

First of all, understand what you just did. If you don't explain it in an understandable way, we won't get any of it...
So:
-You unlocked the bootloader.
-axon7toolkit failed somewhere, and you didn't tell us exactly where
-you didn't try to use any guide to retake from where it ended up failing
-you didn't try to enter any mode
So just try to get to recovery or fastboot, using the 5 sec screen. After that we'll see

If you go to edl, by adb command or by pressing both volume buttons while connecting usb the screen goes blank, that's ok, it has to be this way.
Why you want to turn on allow oem, you are already unlocked.
Your issue seems to be the driver, I guess.
Edit: try this maybe, from the toolkit FAQ
The toolkit says my device is connected through ADB but adb commands don't work?
Your device may be unauthorized. Unlock your device, open a cmd window, type in "adb devices" and then accept the "Allow USB debugging" prompt on your phone. Make sure to check the "Always allow from this computer" box as well. If you don't get the prompt, try retoggling USB debugging, replugging your device in, and revoking all USB debugging authorizations in developer options.

FAP Block please help me!

Soo i accidentally disabled the dev options on my samsung galaxy s7 edge and then decided to restart my phoe because i didnt notice and now im stuck with an error that says "custom binary blocked by FAP lock" now i looked around the internet on ways to fix this but the thing is that i cant really connect my phone to my computer, yes i did the volume down+power+home button thing and i connected it to my pc but nothing happened, odin didnt recognize my phone and my computer reads it as "gadget serial" i tried installing the usb drivers and all but i keep getting errors, its like my phone doesnt realy wants to cooperate.
