Samsung Galaxy A3 SMA300FU Odin /Bricked? Help - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I rooted my mobile which worked perfectly, after the initial reboot after rooting. the mobile will not boot since the battery died tho it just goes to a pink static screen after the logo.
It wont let me boot into recovery but i can still boot into download, however now Odin will not see my mobile and i have tried all the drivers uninstalling and re installing to no avail.
Tried several Pc's and new USB cables!

Update
So after brute force restarting into download mode several times i was able to get Odin to detect my mobile, however the sm-a310 failed, i then used the old root file which let me back into my phone, but again after 1 restart im back at square one so all is not lost ... its defo soft bricked and i can gain access very rarely but i don't know where to go from here.

You`ve to flash the Stock firmware through Odin, then do a Factory Reset.
After successful booting , then you try to root it again.
Got to Sammobile website and download any unbranded Firmware perfect for your device and flash through Odin in Download Mode.
BTW, how you rooted your device ?
And Make sure to check your device`s Battery level before doing any thing.

[Q] Note 3 doesn't start anymore

Dear all,
I have only recently lost my IMEI und tried everything to recover it. As a matter of fact I had made a backup before and tried to restore it and it didn't work. Today, I tried doing that another time and after that I wanted to reboot my phone but after it shut down it just doesn't boot up anymore. It shows nothing, only the black screen. It seems like it doesn't react to anything, I also tried to pull the battery but that also wasn't successful. I also can't get into Download Mode.
Any ideas what I could do?
Charge the battery or try another battery first .
I did both, I charged the battery but it didn't help and I also tried another (fully charged) battery, without success.
try to connect with kies 3
Kies doesn't recognize my phone.
Service centre repair your next step .
I'll let my carrier send it to Samsung and tell them that it crashed after trying to update to Lollipop via Kies, I read that this worked in some cases. If it doesn't I'll have to have it repaired.
What do you guys think about those "USB jigs"? Do you think those could help me with my problem?
YAAAAY!
Thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625332 I was able to unbrick my device and by flashing a new PIT-File and a Stock ROM even my IMEI came back. I think my partition was somehow messed up because after flashing the PIT-File it began to work properly, but I flashed the Stock ROM to have a "clean" system again and installed Cyanogenmod afterwards with success.
So how does this fix work if the phone is unable to connect or power on ..
OP yes try the usb recovery jig to see if it boots to download mode .
Well, it did help. After I had put the Image on my SDcard and removed my SIM card I was able to boot my phone, this was the main issue. The rest was child's play, I flashed the PIT-file and a stock ROM and everything was working fine again.
flash new PIT file
hi you got to flash a new pit flie. maybe something damaged your phone boot. look in here

Stuck at bootscreen (no boot loop) and unable to do anything (Galaxy note 4 N910H)

Hi guys,
I own a Galaxy Note 4 (N910H) and have rooted it before without any problem.
Long story short I wanted to install a custom rom and on the instruction says I need to reset my device to factory before I actually install it (because mine is 4.4.4).
I successfully reset it back to factory settings, however when I tried to install the rom an error occured.
When my device restarted it goes into a boot loop.
So I go into the recovery mode and delete the caches and what not (even selecting the reset to factory setting again).
When my device restart it is stuck at the boot sreen (samsung galaxy blablabla) and it DOESNT LOOP, it just stuck there and I am unable to go into recovery mode.
I tried to reflash it using odin (i can access the downloading mode) up to no avail.
My device is detected by odin (com:x) but when I pressed start it stuck at setup connection and after a while I got the Fail message.
Now I am at a loss and have no idea what else to do. Tried kies, doesnt work either.
Kies doesnt even recognize the connection to my phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
NB: I'm a newb at this so please bear with me (and yes I kind of ****ed up)
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken you have Kies installed? If that is the case I would recommend you uninstall it. Then manually download the Samsung USB drivers
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Reboot your PC just to be sure.
Then make sure your device isn't connected to the charger or computer and remove the battery and after 10 seconds reinsert the battery and manually boot into Download Mode (Home + Volume Down while holding the power button.)
Then connect your phone to the your PC and run Odin as Admin and try to flash the firmware.
I would also recommend that the firmware you are flashing is the correct one and is not corrupted.
You can check the firmware from Sammobile and after the download check the MD5Sum and then extract the zip file to get the firmware file.
Good luck and report back.

Just to make sure, should I put the MD5 file to bootloader or AP/PDA?
Thank you for the help, I will try your solution after I get back from work

If you are using Odin version 3.09 or above it's AP, otherwise it's PDA.

Thanks Battlehero! now I finally get my galaxy note back to work again.
Now let's say if I want to Root my device again, is it as simple as installing CWM or TWRP and then install a custom rom?

If you want to root your current rom then install a custom recovery (TWRP) recommended then flash SuperSU Current release: https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

[D802] Download mode is not working with FlashTool2014 - SOLVED

Hi,
I'm opening a thread because I just couldn't find any way to unbrick my device. In the past I used the FlashTool2014 to go back to the stock LP KDZ for my device.
I was in the stock rom when I decided to mess with the build.prop and then went back to the stock backup. When I restarted the phone it showed the LG logo, screen went black and never booted android. I could access the stock recovery but the Factory Reset won't work.
Then I decided to go to download mode, it connects and the PC detects it as an MTP device. I open the FlashTool2014 and it detects the device OK. When the LGUserCSTool opens it says the Upgrade stopped due to an error and the device stays on 0% and shows USER B70 in the console. I can press Retry, turn off the phone and reconnect in Download mode but the LGCSTool just wont push the firmware.
I suspected I had a driver issue so I tried using a clean win8 install I have for this purposes without success. I cant flash with the TOT method since the other LG Flash Tool wont detect the device in download mode when connected to the pc. This is really weird.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Solved with another tot file (almost lost all hope), took me 20+ hours to download it, I'll better make a backup of this files on the cloud. Still having problems with STOCK firmwares but could install TWRP and get CM13 which doesn't give any problems.

My lovely s7 edge turned into metal brick

Wanted to find some deleted videos on my device and found some aplications that needed root to work ,
so I installed odin , downloaded some root and flash device , odin said "PASS" but my S7 were stuck at booting screen(just showing logo)
I restarted it ,tried everything from safe mode to factory reset , didn't boot , tried to flash one more time , it was stuck at connecting ,
so I made my phone brick , what can I do to fix this if I even can ?
I know im idiot I had 0 skill with this but I was saving for a long time to get this phone and this shall not be our last moment.
Model SM-G935F
I was using root from rootjunkysdl site, (Samsung_G935x_EX_Rooted-BOOT.zip)
I would realy appreciete any help since on reddit and android central my thread is ignored.
download samsung drivers to your computer, connect to smart switch click on more then emrgerency initialization and recovery follow instructions.
Im not trying to recover files , im trying to unbrick my phone
SmartSwitch has a phone firmware recovery option also.

Go to sammobile and download the latest firmware for your phone. Hold volume down, home and power to boot into download. Connect phone to PC and use Odin (if Linux use Heimdall) to Flash the firmware. If you need more guidance you can find info on here or Google about flashing with Odin on our device.

tried rooting and now stuck reboot mode, cant get into safe mode only twrp and..

Download mode, but cant dl anything from pc to phone now even using odin.
Phone just stuck in boot loop.
Got as far as loading twrp onto it via odin and then when tried search for file just blank folders, nothing in them.
So worried totally bricked it. everyone says get into safe mode, but when try to all it goes to is twrp.
HELPPP!!!!
If you can get into TWRP and aree able to do a complete wipe. It will return your OS to factory settings and fix the boot loop. Other wise try the emergency recovery on Smart switch.
You will need your model information as well as the phone serial number.
Oh,
even phone storage showing "0" in twrp and try wipe just fails.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
TWRP, tried wipe and few other options on twrp and all says failed.(as does odin now)
The weird thing is was all going fine till went to look for the zip files put onto phone before loading twrp which video said too, but when went to folder that SHOULD show all phones system/pic/video forlders and the 2 zip files I put on phone, it is all gone, folder and all folders showing empty. even internal memory showing as empty.
Magisk-v13 rooting instructions video was what I used.
Have just dl smart switch.
All this because fast charge wasn't working and battery drain fast. Guess thats why seller never sent me the quick charger kit and usb and just a wireless charger with old 0.7mah old samsung charger. 6-7H to charge.
Got another fastcharger but didnt work with the phone.
Just reading about smartswitch and seems can only use if can run from my s7 edge phone. but cant get back into phone.??
Dl it to pc and just tried to run it and yep, saying
app failed to start because its side by side config is incorrect???? Please see app event log to use the command line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
Sorry,
Now just more confused
Right,
Out of desperation I found a file, which to a useless tech head like me seemed to ring a bell being a md5 file and can with my odin download, so loaded it up and after 4 tries of
to catch the bootloop with pressing start and holding down and releasing the buttons on phone while starting odin with the file it worked and dl file onto phone, phone restarted after few minutes and then worried for a minute when just flashed the samsung logo, but RESULT. Loaded up, only to ask for pass code, put mine in and said wrong so tried the trick to get into bottloader system reset screen and reset to factory setting AND ALL Good again, just fresh start again.
So for anyone and future info/help the file that saved my AR*E was
cf-auto-root-hero2lte-hero2lte-smg935f.tar
So if need do a search guys or if ok can post a link to one on here if OK ?
