so guys what should i do and what is that meaning
Thanks ! .

Flash modem.. Check how to downgrade from lollipop to kitkat

Hope this helps
First boot into recovery and wipe data (this will wipe the internal storage so backup anything important).
Then take out the battery, wait around 10 seconds. (Make sure the phone isn't connected to the charger or the computer).
Then put the battery back in and hold the power, home and volume down keys.
Plug the phone the phone with your computer and flash the stock firmware using Odin.
If this doesn't work then I would advice you to download the stock firmware again from Sammobile and follow through the same instructions.

[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.

I accidentally deleted my OS, how would I fix it?

Hey, I'm on an S5 and I flashed (to upgrade my phone) my system and forgot to put Android back on my SD (to reinstall it) I then put it on and tried to restart because safestrap wasn't refreshing my files on my SD and essentially screwed up my phone. When I turn it on it just shows the booting screen and doesn't let me go anywhere else. When I try to go into download mode it doesn't let me, please help! (I already went to the Verizon store, they said they couldn't help)

I would first get out a SD card adapter to pc then put in my computer when it recognizes it
I would download official android lollipop such as bok3 from sammobile and then place it on said SD card
then eject SD and place it back in my phone
First try turning off your phone and boot into download mode you may have to try at least 5-10 times if it is only booting into recovery mode
if you have a custom recovery still boot into it either TWRP or safestrap etc then install the firmware
connect phone to computer and install s5 verizon drivers from Samsung website this might fix part of your issue
You could boot your phone into maintenance mode when your phone gets stuck during boot push volume down choose from the list to do a factory reset and you could try safe mode also
If no download mode connect to computer via USB and install verizon software assistant on your pc and try to do repair phone

Bricked Redmi 2

Hey! I've got some real issues, please read my whole story and try to help me.
So, I've got Redmi 2 (wt80047) and I have installed an custom rom i.e..Atomic OS because that was the best of all, but I was facing issues of LTE network, it automatically disconnects, and then I have to restart my phone like 8-9 times to get the LTE network back , so I decided to switch back to stock ROM, and successfully I have re-installed my stock rom (MIUI8), afterwards I have downloaded some files like Magisk.zip and SuperSU.zip for rooting purpose, but I don't know what happened but my device was bricked, it was not openinig, it was stucked at logo, it was neither going in Fastboot mode nor my pc was detecting the device so I can flash again it with MI Flash tool. The only thing that was happening was that multiples drives were showing on my windows whenever I connect my Redmi 2 to pc like E: drive, F; drive, G, H, I: drive. So i have opened an application (Disk Partition Tool) and deleted all the drives. Then my device was ****ed x100. Now it is totally dead. No response, no powering on, no vibration, no fastboot mode, but now my PC and MI Flash Tool is recognizing it with COM6 (ports), so now whenever I try to flash it. it gives me error "Cannot receive hello packet" and sometimes "Ping target failed". Please Help Me, Pleasee!
Some Things that I have already tried:-
1.Tried every version of Mi Flash Tool
2. Tried chineese and global rom version both
3. Tried QFIL
4. Tried every ports on my cpu
5. Cannot flash it with cmd, coz adb and fastboot both does not recognize my device (Waiting for device...)
6. Pressed the Power button and then flashed it.
7. Remove the battery, short the EDL points, I have tried all the hardware stuff also.
I am stucked in this for like 1 month, and I have only this phone, my parents won't give me a new one.
Help!)

Looks to me the phone was connected to Windows computer in USB-MTP mode, so the computer believed the phone to be a portable media player and/or USB-drive. Deleting partitions always causes a complete data loss. Hence it's not wondering me that the phone actually is dead: you fully wiped it.
