While I was installing a new rom usb cable desconenected

Hello,
While I was installing a new ROM for Galaxy 9000I s with Odin the USB cable has been disconnected.
And the phone now doesn't start up or even turn on the screen black light.
But the screen shows a phone icon with PC icon with orange the angle between them with ! sign
- Tried to re-connect it to my PC but the Samsung Kies doesn't see it .
So, please tell me what to do to fix this problem..
Thanks for advance

I take it you don't have the 3 button mode, therefore you'll have to make the usb jig to allow you to re flash the phone, search for how to make it.

yeah, just go back into the download mode
then you can flash the ROM again via Odin

Since no one has mentioned this,
To enter download mode, you hold the Volume Down + Home + Power

I've had the same problem. Couldn't enter recovery and download mode at first. Pull the battery and wait a few minutes before plugging it back in. After that i was able to enter download mode

Holding on to VolDn+Menu+Pwr for a very long time solved the issue for me. I had the same problem three times. The longest was maybe slightly more than 30 seconds. Even after the pic comes on keep holding the buttons.

Yes that works also.If you take the battery out,make sure you leave it out for more than half hour.In the meantime press some buttons on the phone to make sure to get rid of all the electricity stored in capacitors in there.When i had this problem i left the phone for 20 minutes and nothing happened.Then i read on a website that it might take more than half hour so i left it about 50 minutes,got recovery after all,factory reset all good.

Sorry for your trouble. This is definitely bad luck. There are the risky heat methods but I wouldn't recommend it.
Just claim that it fell out during Kies update or something, definitely don't tell them you were trying to flash on stuff with Odin

I always used to wonder what would happen if the USB disconnected / computer went into sleep mode or crashed when flashing a ROM. Thanks to the unfortunate OP, now I know! And I hope they fix his problem without making any fuss.

[Q] Boot loop - cannot access recovery or download mode

Hello, maybe this was posted a lot of times, I just wanna get a second opinion before getting this to the shop. My phone (GT-i9500) suddenly went on to boot loop. I cannot enter download mode nor recovery mode. When attempting to put on download mode, when it tells me to press volume up, nothing happens and it restarts again. I was partially able to boot to recovery but it only showed the TWRP splash page then it reboots again. Does this mean that I have a broken motherboard? Any suggestions?

Yes why not but if the battery is defective that will not fix it or help.
Did you try to go into recovery with the phone plug in to the charger? how it does behave?

Still the same. Sometimes it would show the battery icon but only for a split second.

Let us know how it goes

The exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. It happened exactly a year after I got my GT-I9500. Around midnight one weekend the phone had quite a bit of charge and was working fine. As I unlocked the screen to check a WhatsApp message, the phone suddenly shut down and entered a bootloop with the same symptoms as yours. I couldn't enter my stock recovery and download mode would only come up for a few seconds and it would re-enter the bootloop. I tried numerous battery pulls and made it loop over quite a bit and then gave up after an hour and left the battery out. Throughout the day I occasionally tried my luck to no avail. Maybe after 48 hours or less - a day without trying my luck included - since the initial incident, I carried it to the shop and as the employee put the battery in the phone I was baffled. The phone booted normally, no issues and has worked perfectly fine since then. She said sometimes our phones need a little rest.
I've also read that our model has had some battery problems like swelling. I noticed no swelling by the way. So my advice, leave the battery out for a day or two. My phone was not rooted at the time and was running stock TouchWiz Android 4.4.2. Good luck!

So I finally got it repaired, the guy replaced something, about the size of 2x1 mm. He said it was for the power button. He charged me around $10 which I think is not bad.

Hi Mate,
Great to know , glad it was something cheap and easy.

Galaxy S4 sudden died out

Hi, my Galaxy S4 suddenly died out while I was using it halfway. It was still charging (actually 100% already). The phone blackout and I couldnt turn it on.
Here's what I tried:
1) pull out battery and wait for a while then put it back and power on
Result: nothing happens
2) same as 1) but with another spare battery
Result: nothing happens
3) let it charge (to power socket) and waited for about 15 mins
Results: the top side of the phone was warm (beside the microSD slot) and I still cannot power on.
Is this phone useless already?

Hi mate
Sorry to hear what happen .
Question after you switched to phone on and waited maybe 1-2 min did you try to connect it to the pc, see if the system is alive if you have access to your files.....if so the phone is ok..but maybe the screen is dead or something is loose inside.

I didn't hear any sound or vibration when I switch it on. I have not try connecting to PC but even if I could, the phone has password lock so I still cannot access unless I unlock the phone

The idea is to find out if the problem is the phone or the display , if the pc recognices the phone it means that the phone works...no real need to acces your files
If it does not then your problem is in the electronics and not in the display......just an idea

mate ,
it looks like a hardware problem take it toSamsung if in warranty still or to a local service center...

I had a similar problem in the past and it ended up being my power button was malfunctioning. It was apparently just stuck in an off/on loop but not showing anything on screen....

Look like mainboard short circuit since top side of the phone got warm and also I assumed from op that display never show anything again.

Is there hope of getting back all the data if it can be repaired? Around how much will it cost? My warranty finished about a month ago

If this case, it would be switching off and on all the time? At least showing something on the screen?

Hi,
For those who have problem with lag:
From Stweaks, change default gov to Lionheart, gpu gov to simple, I/O to fiops, disable android logger, enable zram, reboot.
These settings also give me great batt life

so i made the changes and it did make a big difference. i shut the phone down 2 hours after to charge it,, and thats when a odd thing happened.
its dead.
no life at all. even when its connected to my pc. if i plug the charger in it just gets hot.....thats it.
can i assume its bricked for some odd reason??

what happens if you pull the battery, plug it back in and try and reboot into recovery/download mode?

i did that + charger,and lead.
no responce and all. if i plug in the charger the top half of the phone gets quite hot in the main board area.
im sure some people come on hear with problems with out telling the full storey ( dropping it down the toilet,or just dropping it) but i literally shut it down to charge it quicker.
im still scratching my head over this.
if all else fails i may look into buying one with a smashed screen on ebay and replace the main board as my phone is in great condition,....gutted.

it does sound like a hardware issue - can you take it back to a samsung service center?

iv had it from new, such a shame.

If you tried another working battery, tried connecting to a computer and cant get into Download Mode.... I say your phone is dead and it sounds like a hardware fault. I have seen soft bricked and hard bricked phones, they still show some form of life like the led turning on, pixel salad, black screen (as you can see the screen light up), white screen, cant get into recovery but can get into Download mode and etc.
Sounds like its dead but I am sure its got nothing to do with what you did and its just a coincident that it died.

My A1 "died" and i dont know why

Hello folks.
So I left my A1 charging at night, the alarm woke me up as usual in the morning. Just before leaving home I took it to check the time and then it was already "dead".
PS: The phone was never been knocked over, wet etc...
Symptoms:
- Black screen, as if was turned off / without battery;
- Buttons do not work;
- Doesn't react to any connections.
- Doesn't enters fastboot mod;
- It's not recognized by the computer;
- Also not charging.
Any help is welcome, best regards.

happened to me the other day on AEX, after flashing a kernel, turns out it does switch on but I had to press the power button for quite some time and then it switched off again upon minutes from switching on. I entered the recovery with the same method and installed another kernel, it works fine now

It's a possibility, but it's strange the phone has like 4 months of use, never had any problem.
I'm willing to try some stuff first, even open the phone to unplug and replug the battery on the mb.
Otherwise at my country (Brazil) Xiaomi has no warranty

I had this problem and it was just due to an loose flex cable. Try opening and reattaching them :good:

No problem, just two screws att the bortom and use the nails around the edge. Be careful not to break the plastic frame around the screen, it can be quite weak.

So yesterday a oppened the phone, disatached the flats and atatched then again, unfortunatelly didn't help =[.
We also made some tests and seems like it could be an issue with the battery seems like it's not charging nor receiving any charge.
Seems like the "regulator" of the battery or something like that is not working as it should.
I'm gonna try to test this a in a more acurate way, at least to be sure that it's the battery.

Probably on EDL mode. Try reflashing stock with MiFlash. Helped me once.

You can try make edl usb cable first, if not work then search mi a1 test point, you'll need to jump 2 point on motherboard with wire/pin.

The phone will power on without any battery attached at all, so remove it and see if you get life. If not, then it's not the battery.

So yesterday i tryed to make the phone enter at the EDL mode, by jumping the 2 points on the motherboard. Unfortunately the computer didn't recognized the phone at all, i'v tryed several times.
I'm starting to think that something related to the the motherboard just died.
I'll lend it to a tecnical that can fix it or at least confirm the death of the phone to me.

Just tested it yesterday, without success.
Even with the battery disconnected and ubs at computer or charger, the phone still not giving any signal of life.
Does it mean that it must be a serious problem?

Hello mate.
I'm sry for you phone, at my case i'm starting to believe that the mb/cpu died.
I was thinking that it could be the board at the bottom (ubs, mic jac) but i have been told that it's really rare this to happen.
Yesterday i tested the battery and it's fully charged, (so the battery isn't the problem)
I'm weeling to take it at the end of the week into a tec who can test all the hardware stuff in order to know what actually have failed.
Have u also tryed to engage ur phone at EDL Mode?

Hi.
Yep also tried shorting the test points, it does not respond to anything. Just totally dead.
Its sad cause i really loved that phone. I might buy a used cheap one with a broken screen and use its main board or other parts.
Thanks Knievel
