hi guys
so my galaxy s3 has had a faulty conector since ive had it. but yesterday when i went to flash stock rom as i wanted to clean the device etc it stopped half way through odin process and now it doesnt boot obvieously. the thing is now the phone conector seems to be completely broken as it wont connect for more than maybe 10 seconds at the start but now nothing at all but it does still charge. ive bought an original samsung cable brand new and still same result.
any ideas of a way to get my phone working again? it seems odin wiped my recovery in 10 seconds which sucks....

Can you still get into download mode and does odin recognize it?
If not you will very likely need a jtag or take it into a service center.
Try replacing the usb port first, flashing anything on a phone with a broken port can corrupt the partition -which is what happened to you.

If the phone boots you could use mobile Odin but in your case,repairing the connector is the right way.

Help please. I'm basically in a boot loop with no recovery. Idk what I should do or if its possible to make a warranty claim.
Hey guys I'm in a boot loop of some kind. I'm not an advanced user of this stuff but idk what to do at this point. So this is the situation. I have a X10a from at&t and its rooted with busybox and freex10 recovery or whatever. I had a default 2.1 ROM and flashed the offline recharging thing. My phone seemed to work fine but then my battery died out. For a while I've had recharging problems with my phone either my cable is messed up or the usb port. So anyways after it died out I tried to recharge but I was in the 3x red flashing light problem and accidentally broke my charger cord, but continuing I borrowed my friends cord and still had problems so knowing my usb port is kinda broken i just left it there. After about 2 hours my phone majestically starts up lol. So I decided I wanted to put on xrecovery just incase and My computer wont read my phone. I try everything from takeing out my sd card to restarting my computer to reinstalling pc companion like 20 times. So I tried a factory reset through the phone settings and ended up where i currently am in a boot loop. It turns on and does the sony ericsson thing then does the boot animation then my phone vibrates and the screen darkens and my buttons are lit up. It has been like this for about 30 mins so far. I tried restarting my phone by taking out the battery and taking out the sd card/sim card.
Sorry for this being long but this is my situation. Could you please help me out? I Don't know if I can do a warranty claim or anything I'm desperate so please any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Also if there is anymore information you need please just ask.
the boot loop problem sounds like a wrong baseband issue, as for the usb problems you're experiencing I'm not sure how to help you there. Hopefully someone has an answer.
Just install stock generic 2.1 with Flashtool!
Install stock firmware through flashtool
Please hit a thanks if u r satisfied...
you can also use Sony`s SEUS to flash to stock 2.1. easiest way to return to stock
Yeah but my computer can't read my phone. I think it's because im using a HTC usb cable instead of the one issued by sony ericsson. That or my usb port on my phone is broken. Lets hope it's the first one. I'm gonna get a new cable soon

I think you need to install the SEUS program by Sony Ericsson and has a download link on their website to get the phone drivers. Try it if you haven't tried it.

Had that same problem when I first flashed my phone. Either SEUS should do it or flashtool.
Is your computer picking up anything at all? Is it trying to recognise the phone at all?
i wiped everything including a factory reset then installed liquid rc8 i used correct one for my phone it rebooted but never booted up to the samsung logo doesnt seem to vibrate or anything when i press power wtf?
now when i plug it into pc it shows my external drive then it vanishes then re-appaears and tells me to format it but that doesnt work either
Put in download mode and Odin back to stock.
How full was your battery when you started? May have drained it

If you can get back into recovery mode, try reflashing the rom or flashing another rom. I've had cases where a rom just wouldn't work for me (I too, have the AT&T Note). Never had the patience to try to figure out why. I usually try to flash several times (making sure I do a factory wipe) but if it still didn't work, I would just flash another rom.
If you can't get into recovery mode, then you may need to flash a stock rom via ODIN (in download mode) and then start all over from scratch (root the phone, install CMW or TWRP,flash custom rom, etc.). Please search the forums for a stock rom and all the files / instructions on flashing via ODIN if you aren't already familiar with it.
Since your PC recognizes the phone to some degree (it at least recognizes that the phone was connected and interacts with the sd card), it sounds like you have a soft brick which is fixable via one of the methods above. If your phone was hard bricked, then the PC more than likely wouldn't recognize it at all, it would do absolutely nothing and you would basically have a paper weight. It doesn't sound like you have a hard brick.
If anyone else has more insight, please chime in. I'm definitely no expert here.
it wont even light up to samsung logo or even vibrate also the sd is recognised but it randomly connects and disconnects odin does not see phone

Perhaps your cable is defective. All of my cables eventually get to the point where I have to twist them and hold them a certain way to work. When that happens I know it's time to replace the cable. You may just need to use another cable.
no i tried with 2 differnt cables also battery was at like 99% when this happened also windows keeps finding my sd for a moment and then vanishes could this be stuck power button? if so i dont see how i didnt touch power button when it rebooted

i flashed a rom onto a m8s galaxy s2 after i rooted it the phone was stuck on bootscreen for around 30 min i turned it of and phone will not charge light up or anything ive tryed jig and nothing ive tryed button and nothing battery is fine ive tested it
i thought it would be easy as i have done it on s3 lots of times
is the galaxy s2 dead or can i revive it
Maybe jig is faulty? Have you tried booting into the download mode? It is the same as s3.
If not, try another jig or another battery. Also, try charging it. Does it get hot near the camera when it charges?
If the above fail, you have to JTag, unless you wiped from a 4.0.4 stock rom.

Well its customery (And common sense to be honest) to inform people of relevant information when asking for help.
What exactly did you do/steps you took?
Which rom did you flash?
Which kernel did you flash?
How did you root?
Did you wipe data/factory reset at any point?
Give as much info as possible so that it can possible diagnose what happened.
Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy Mega 5.8 which i got about 7 months back. im on stock 4.2.2 rooted through odin and have deleted most of the samsung bloatwares ( and others which i dont really need). Phone seemed to work fine for about two months until three weeks ago while it was plugged up to my system, it suddenly rebooted and since then the laptop cant connect to it.
I cant return it to samsung for a fix since id need to reinstall stock firmware which involves connecting the phone to the laptop and odin is not detecting the device either. I've deleted touchwiz and a host of other apps so my phone doesnt look like the regular Samsung anymore.
A friend recommended doing a factory reset but i had a helluva time getting it to work cos there was no launcher attached ( since touchwiz has been deleted prior to the reset).
would have loved to return it to samsung but device status shows custom.:crying:
is there anyway i can get my darling device to connect to the laptop again? anyone out there with a similar problem or fix?
thanks

Good news.. thanks y'all
Well.. By stroke of luck or just plain ingenuity.. Phone is back working...
What i did.
1. Factory reset.. Didnt work.
2. Changed different ports even usb cords (been using my blackberry ever since because its longer than the samsung ) samsung too didnt work
3. Read somewhere dat the internal port on the phone may be corroded so i Removed the battery cleaned it the internal usb port out with a needle, and brushed with toothpick (chew the end point till it becomes brush-like)
4. Applied nail polish to it using the toothpick in stage 3
5. Left it for about 5 mins to dry out
6. Replaced battery and later tried it out.
it worked.. But some times i need to remove and reinstert the cable again..
Restored stock apps and re rooted
N.b that was just the way i went about it.. Worked for me and hopefully urs too..
Thank u

Hi guys,
I was flashing my S10 by Odin, using USB-C connector which is also charging the laptop.. (why didnt use the second one I idiot??)
Odin sudently stoped flashing, stuck maybe on 90% and I was waiting more then hour, but flashing did not succesful, if laptop discharged the battery and switched off.
Samsung is totaly dead, I tried everything like get to recovery mode, Odin mode, leave the battery fully discharged, unplug and replug battery... No any sign of life. PC doesn't see it..
It seems there is nothing I can do for unbrick it, but maybe YOU know some trick that may rescue my phone...?
Is it possible that some box as Octoplus or some like that will be working for my problem?
Many thanks for any idea, Regards, Tomas.
I would recommend trying to return to manufacturing (RMA) the phone just explain that it's hardware bricked doesn't turn on etc and you should get a new phone. How ever if they find out that you tried to flash custom software on your phone your warranty is voided and you might have to buy a new phone.
download official firmware and flash every file except for HOME CSC using Odin. This should revert you back to stock rom and allow you to boot properly.
It's not normal that flashing takes so long in first place.
Something already went wrong while it was still flashing.
My S10 flashes in like 10 minutes completely.
That's strange anyway because mine stopped one or two times flashing
causing a soft brick but I always could enter Download Mode again and reflash.
I'd basically never flash with a notebook not connected to a charger
but in your case I think you could wait even more hours and nothing would happen anymore.
One exception could be that you flashed the wrong firmware.
I wouldn't send it to Samsung if that's the case (in my opinion).
Just don't do such stuff if you don't know what you are doing and learn from it.
A honest option is to aquire a device with broken display and ideally broken back glass and change the motherboard.
It's not that difficult and you could exchange the battery e.g.. (plus it's fun)
Thanks for all answers.
Unfortunately, the rom I flashet was stock and 100% right for my phone. Downloaded from sammobile.
Also now I'm not able to flash anything because PC does not see my phone when connected...not any sound and Odin wont show that device is connected.
One more information-I'm not some fish to do something what I dont know about..my job is technician in mobile phone repair servis and shop. But 99% repairs I'm doing is hardware repair- like broken LCD change, battery change, charging connector repair by soldering... Sometimes software repair of course, I flashed by Odin many many times, but flashing takes max 10 minutes.. this is why used charging port co connect the phone. There was some another problem I'm sure.
Anyway thanks for your answers.
I'll send the bricked phone on eBay, maybe somebody have the right tool to make it done.
Thx again.
