Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?

Hi all,
I hope somebody will reply immediately. I wanted to upgrade my Gf's phone to a new firmware update.
The upgrade process got stuck at 22% while downloading and the power went off.... KIES said that i should run emergency recovery....
Now when i turn on the phone i get a sign of a mobile phone connected to a PC with an exclamation mark.
What can i do ? my questions are the following..
1 is there a way to unbrick and how?
2 i had backed up all the contacts and information ? are they saved because i do not want my gf to lose all her photos and information?
Guys help.. nobody can save me from the woman's wrath.
Remove battery for a minute. Put battery back in. Put device in download mode. Use Odin to flash firmware.
Use search function to find out how to do anything you don't understand above.
here is the pic i get
a mobile phone a triangle/exclamation point and a PC!

Did you bother to read and do anything from the post above?
i did... it cannot get into download mode..
What did you do when you try to get into download mode?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
OK i got into download mode and through KIES i am now in EMERGENCY RECOVERY...
the problem that it is stuck at 16% for over 5 minutes now. is that normal?
shall i use KIES or ODIN to flash the normal firmware?
also where i can find my gfs data that i backed up in my PC?
Look at the settings in Kies where you backed up the data to.
Is the blue bar on the phone moving? I don't use Kies to flash my device because I don't trust it.
Ok, it seems as if you want to do things your way so good luck with Kies.
Hi! I have used these forums in the past while playing with my Samsung Galaxy Fascinate(T959D).
My issue is that no matter what cord I use to try and get a rom or recovery onto my phone right now Odin either "hangs" or it "fails" and Heimdall can't find the phone at all even after using the driver program that it comes with.

I have a "jig" that forces the phone into download mode so getting into download mode is no issue. A couple times when I have tried to use Odin on the phone it has come up with something like "Failed to re-partition"....
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to get this phone going for my sister who has 4 kids. (Her last Android her youngest got mad at her and threw it in the toilet)
Thank YOu Ragn

What is it that you are trying to do exactly? Do you have the correct samsung drivers? Are you pulling the battery out as well? Normally the phone part of Odin is not used, it's like a no no, but I guess it depends on what you are trying to do.

I am putting firmware and everything back on the phone. The system, boot, data, datadata etc I guess all got formatted. Yes I am pulling out the battery.
Hello,
I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 (model sm-t110, if that matters), then made a huge mistake. Upon believing that i was going to sell it, i went to settings, and selected to reset phone, foolishly thinking it would take it back to factory/out-of-the-box condition. Now, when i attempt startup, the B&W logo appears repeatedly, followed by this screen with options:
{

}
What is the best way to fix this? I prefer to go back to the rooted version, or whichever method is easiest!
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

re:
The closest i came is trying to flash? a ROM (i think, my knowledge is obv limited) via SD card. But i think i read error msgs right before the device re-booted...
Thanks again....
RWB
EDIT: microSD, not USB! Dammit
HELP!?
Lil' help please?!
Just point me in the right direction, anything!!
Thanks in advance!
You can download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin. That should restore it back to it's stock unrooted out of the box state

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Currently, i dont have access to a PC or laptop. I can borrow one from a friend, if needed...seems like it is a necessity, right??
Thanks again, and if there are any other tips you or anyone can provide, it would be MUCH appreciated!
RWB
Yes. You would need a Windows PC for ODin to work, and the Samsung drivers installed.

Not so familiar with chrome books, but I'm guessing, NO
Look around for jODIN3 , it's a web based solution for flashing Odin files...I know for a fact that it works on Mac and Linux..,
You might want to give it a shot and let us know if it works on a chrome book
Here's the link

Hey guys.....

but, when I enter in Odin mode, the screen is ok
So, I assumed there is no hardware issue in this mobile.... so, i thought it could be just a ROM error or something alike.... so, I downloaded KIES and Odin ((3.07, 3.09 and 3.10)).... I started on Odin.... I tried to flash the stock ROM on it, but I went to the error missing PIT partition.... after I read what is a PIT partition, I downloaded only the PIT file and tried to flash it alone and together with the MD5 ROM file..... So, NO.... nothing worked....
So, I went into the KIES and tried to used the all 3 options on Tools Menu .... the first one, doesn't work ((or I don't know what to do...))... the second one works.... asks for the serial number and start the progress bar and everything. But, when it reaches 70% just stops and says there is an error
.. and the third one doesn't help... at all....
So guys this is it what I already done so far in here and this is what I know what it could be done.... any thoughts or ideas to help me here?
I'm using a windows 8.1 x64....
Thanks very much for any help and assistance here =D
I'm reading something about MSKIP Toolkit and Heimdal.... any of these works in my case?
I'm reading this thread too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367 - but my phone does not reboot.... so, i'm stuck on step 3....
and in here - https://www.androidpit.de/forum/545386/there-is-no-pit-partition-and-re-partition-operation-failed - these guys are facing the same issue as mine....
So, no further ideas to do.... any in your side?
Cheers =D
any thoughts or ideas guys??
any ideas at all guys?

If u have any official cm rom for ur device then flash it via Odin.
And if it doesn't work, try out loading the CSC and BL file with the PDA file. This might work.
tra_dax
mine did the exact same thing with that goofy lower half of the screen. It went away after a reboot and I stopped using the phone. Going to upgrade to 5.1.1 on the chance it's a software problem if it happens again.
I took it in guarantee service they said motherboard is dead need replace
The same here ...
This confirmed that the main board is damaged ??
I flashing an official rom and done correctly, but the restart stay in bootloop ...
