[Q] Bricked My Phone - Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo S5310

Hey everyone and thanks for your help.
I deleted what seemed to me to be some worthless apps from my galaxy pocket neo using an app and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen. I have tried factory resetting my phone and after rebooting my phone will go through the original setup process, but ultimately after going through all the menus my phone becomes unresponsive. I am thinking that I need a new os.
I have seen the other help thread "stuck on boot logo" and I tried to understand the directions giving there, but have so far been unable to resolve anything. If I could get some clear instructions as to what might fix my phone I'd appreciate it.

Go here
Flash Samsung stock ROM for your phone and baseband using Odin. It should be back to normal. It will be back to unrooted factory state.
Alternatively, if your cwm is still working, just flash a ROM zip after wiping data, cache, advamced->dalvik cache.
Do mounts and storage-> mount system->format system in CWM before flashing ROM if above 2 methods do not work (though I'm very sure one of them would work)
---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------
Make sure that you flash the ROM of Samsung s5312 and not the one mentioned in the Odin guide. Search for it .

I can't seem to find a site that will let me download the stock rom. All of the rom sites bring me to uploaded.net and I dead end there... Is there something I am missing on that website?
Thanks!

problem app system
May be you remove any important system app so i think you should install stockrom by odin or install custom rom ) there are many nice rom such as: cm11 , cm10.1

Same Problem

Ah i see. My apologies, I managed to fix it but it took a while. I had to download the official firmware from sammobile and flash it through odin. When i did that again i was stuck on the boot animation, but what i did was to go into my recovery and wipe cache, dalvik and also user data just to make certain and voila! phone works fine now.
I'm so sorry about your situation man, maybe you can try what i tried if you still got your phone. Its good as a spare!

Well done Sir!
I already spent a full work day on the sucker >.> I am just bitter and can't be bothered. Haha. Glad you were successful though!

No OS Installed. Stuck In Bootloop. Offering Donation To Helper.

Hey people.
I rooted my ANDROID HTC ONE from T mobile, using a guide I found on here and the all in one toolkit.
I am using TWRP newest 2.5.0.0, I can access the bootloader and recovery, and have been sat here now looking for answers for about 5 hours.
It freezes on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Also says that there is no OS installed.
I am looking for help via TEAMVIEWER, or someway to get my phone working.
If you need more information please let me now ASAP so I can give it you.
UPDATE: Okay people I successfully installed the XenonHD ROM and it is now stuck in bootloop i have tried clearing the cache and it doesn't do anything, this is the only ROM that is currently working.
I have searched the net searched the post and still nothing.
I am almost got my phone back guys and am willing to DONATE or repay the favour via modding something through XBOX or whatever I can.

There have been a lot of posts on similar issues. You can "sideload" a ROM via ADB commands from your computer. If you can get into recovery, your phone can be fixed. I haven't done this myself (still stock), but do a search on google or xda on sideloading a ROM from ADB.

Did you clear the cache? Also, I've seen some people have to format the partitions.
EDIT: But formatting does not seem to be needed if you sideloaded successfully.

Sorry, I've not even rooted my phone, and I would not want to use your device as a learning tool. Let me look around and see if I can find a nandroid backup.
EDIT: Nope, I don't see one. Try opening a thread requesting a nandroid back for your recovery.

You have to be careful with No o.s installed .
Normally if u reboot when u see that you'll brick.
Without a o.s you have no bootloader..
I bricked my s3 and had to jtag it when it said no o.s I rebooted and black blank screen nothing.
I've had this happen also when choosing format system and format data /media some reason it botches the boot up .
My only fix was to sideload a rom or wipe factory and restore a nandroid .

So going to check again inabit.
After all that did you try erasing cache one more time? Maybe through recovery or fastboot?

my recomendation is that you get s -off and supercid asap so next time you run into a similar problem you can just install any ruu(note only do this if your phone has no official ruu) and work it out from there.

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

Yeah my phone is currently working now, but I have no play store nor do I now if my phone is rooted.
I have a custom ROM on it XenonHD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290785
That one.
Just currently trying to get to grips on how to work it and that.
I can't download the playstore because it says it is currently installed but it is nowhere to be seen.

You have wiped your system partition. In order to get your phone working again either download a ROM from your device's forums, or download a stock ROM from Sammobile and flash it using Odin.

Use Google, there is more than enough tutorials on how to flash using Odin/CWM/TWRP.
I did do a bit of Googling for you and found this, please do verify the MODEL of your phone is "SPH-L300" before using these files:

In you first post it sounds as if you did in fact wipe everything, including your then existing ROM. Best thing to have done at that point was to use adb to push a ROM to your phone, reboot back into recovery using adb and install the pushed ROM. Even if you wiped all content of any kind, you should be able to us adb to install factory img, stock ROM, etc.
P.S. all of the above is probably still an option- using adb to restore, get into bootloader etc.

Boot Loop Problems Help please

Hello guys,
I have a problems, ive Flash my Sam-T859 and it seemed to work fine for almost a month but a few hours ago i was playing a Game (Contract Killer 2) and it just crashed and started doing the boot loop thing.
Ive Been on google all day non stop following instructions that lead to dead ends.
Ive used Odin3_v1.85 and did the "PDA" thing and it passed but went right back into the boot loop.
i read somewhere that a guy had the same problem i did but somehow figured it out. He wasnt sure how he fixed it but he said he thought it was because he needed a legit .Tar file so if someone could direct me to that would be most appreciated.

if you are rooted....
...boot into recovery and wipe data,cache,dalvik cache ( dalvik is under advanced )...now reboot.
if you are not rooted...
...boot to stock recovery and wipe cache..reboot. If that doesnt work. Then i would go to sammobile .com and find the original firmware that your device came with and i would odin that...if that doesnt work. Then you are going to need a pit.file and use odin but you will repartition the sdcard this time.
google what ive told you here so you have a better understanding of what im saying.....and let me know.
good luck

alright...i think you have some corrupted data on the sdcard....i had this happen to me twice.
see if you can just wipe data...
... if you cant..then go into mounts and mount/format data..if you get really desperate you can format the sdcard from here...,but i would flash a rom first..the one you were running..that way you have an os to boot to..unless you have easy access to odin and a pc...inwhich case id wipe it and odin the original firmware and root all over again ...
keep me posted on the situation

im also assuming it has a seperate kernal and recovery partition....like my p7510 wifi only variant..
if this is correct...i would either use odin to flash a newer recovery or adb to push the recovery zip file to the device..if you push the zip..just flash it..then reboot recovery and try to do your wipes and flash a rom..
this is a long shot...but im baving trouble finding the original firmware tar..if this doesnt work...i would say our next step would be to flash a kernel in recovery or odin..then flash a rom that is compatible with the kernel..i know this sounds like its redundit....but im thinking your recovery or kernel might be clashing..if not seen it before on this device...but i have seen it on other devices..

Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
Download a stock rom from sammobile.com and flash it the way you flashed TWRP.

It sounds like you might need to flash a ROM before it will boot. Your contacts, texts etc are gone if you wiped /data though.

Ah ok, it's good that it worked. I was just worried since you posted this on the i9300 forum and said you were flashing an i9305 ROM.

[Q] GT P7500: Is it bricked or something?

Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

Hi Gil,
TWRP freezes on its boot screen. I`ll try flashing rom from odin. I`ll get back to you when I`m done. Thanks!

So you cant use twrp's internal file manager...or are you saying you did and that process didnt work. Just wondering..the odin should definitely work. Just sucks to loose all your files..
but as I said... Ive been there too..:silly:

I went around Google searching for p4 ROMs that are in ODIN format. Sadly, nothing found. Where did you get the ROM for your p4wifi?

The question is only one part of the answer grasshopper...How you ask( google ) it, is the rest..Lmao
Here's a Link to sammobile. Just scroll down and pjt in your device in the search box on the right and pich the right firmware. You will need to make a free account with them to download.

Okay, installed stock ROM but now I`m in a bootloop. This time no forced reboot or something, just bootloop.

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.
Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner..work is crazy, Lol
Glad you have it up...if you need any other help. Just post in my Q&A thread..I try to check it often.
