Last week Wednesday I went to do an update on my phone and it hard bricked on me. So, I brought it to my carrier and they said it is bricked and nothing we can do. Then I brought it to U Break I Fix and they said they never seen something as bricked as that phone.
So, I did some searching and found this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/s8-g950u-hardbrick-t3668572. I tried it and only get "expecting sahara_end_transfer but found 0". Tried on a Vista computer in test mode and the integrity checks disabled with the same results. Then tried grounding one on the data pins and it fails right away.
Then I also tried using QFIL on a Win 10 Desktop and only ever get Sahara Error.
The phone is model SM-950UZKALRA.
When plug in it is seen as a Qualcomm 9008 device. In the Device Manager, it only shows up in COMS and Ports.
Thanks for all the help in advance,

My vibrant got soft bricked yesterday, I am able to get it into download mode and I have ODIN all lines up to revert to stock, but windows 7 64bit says USB device not recognized. I have tried everything to get it to read. I have tried installing every driver i could get my hand on and i just cannot get the computer to recgnize my phone! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the exact same problem. I updated my Vibrant using Kies Mini for windows 7 64bit. After the installation, my phone restarted, the welcome logo and S came up. After that the screen went black and it vibrated every 5 seconds. The 4 touch controls lit up if i touched them and they stayed lit.
I got into recovery mode and clear all data and format my microUSB as well but it wouldn't solve the problem.
I got into download mode but my Windows said USB device not recognized CODE 43. I tried to manually install Samsung Android USB driver but I got error code 10.
so I couldn't ODIN it back.
Can anyone help?
You're both sure you're using the right Odin (for 64)?
This is weird.
I Just tried again today and my computer recognized it instantly. I was able to flash to stock 2.1
What I did was insert my sim card in the phone today. Yesterday I didn't put my sim card in.
Another way to do it I've realized is to try to use a computer with xp on it and odin 1.7 (I believe). The newer windows vista, 7, etc. Are a lot more picky and difficult to work with sometimes.

Make sure you installed the Samsung driver that is for 64 bit.
Then, make sure you have admin rights, sometimes depending on how the computer was set up you may not be high enough on the root directory. This is especially true when one family is using the same computer and all have their own personal account/profile. If both of those things are ok and you are sure, Then:
Install this This is what i am using on my win7 64 pro i know it works. So, if this does not work then I would guess it is your users rights you haven't resolved yet.
Good luck
Yeah I tried 3 different computers. 2 with xp and the original one in my post, nothing worked. I figured i was screwed so i just went to use the insurance i had on it but they wouldn't let me because it isn't broken lost or stolen. They told me to contact tmobile. So I did. I went onto tmobile.com and chatted with someone who had me try to get it into the recovery screen that a previous poster said he was able to do but i couldn't get into it so he said we could exchange it. I gave him all the info and he sent one out.

I've done the same with my phone. Talked to a TMobile rep, they diagnosed it as a USB port issue. New phone on the way.
I had the same issue on my computer with any of my USB 2.0 ports. Thought what the hell, I'll try plugging into my USB 3.0 port and BAM! It worked.
Hi guys, I believe I have hard bricked my phone.
I was trying to solve the IMEI lost by installing these bins files (www movilesdualsim dot com/threads/ayuda-con-i9500-s4-with-mtk6589-quad-core-5-0-screen-1920-1080.47124/) using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119, so I was doing so and when SPFlash has finished the phone doesn't boot up anymore. I have tried to flash recovery.img with SP Flash but it doesn't even detect the phone anymore.
When I connect the phone to the PC by USB cable I can heard the connected device sound going on and off and looking the windows device manager I can see a "Alcatel Single RNDIS Interface" device connected but like I said it goes on and off every 5 seconds or so. If I put the battery on the phone it doesn't make any different.
I would appreciate so much if anyone could help me out. I don't usually bother people asking for help but I can't really find how to fix this issue and I don't know if it is even possible to fix it.
Thank in advance

Hi, you solved your problem? I have the same issue, help me
I bricked my phone, I was on Oreo B360. I decided to use DC-Unlocker service and paid 19€. When flashing my phone with DC Phœnix, my computer turned off(because it is old and have some battery problems). No my phone don't turn on and isn't detected by the computer. I have no access to fastboot.
It is HardBricked.
Does anyone has a solution?
Thank you in advance!
Very old thread, haven't seen it but will bother to reply. I had same situation with my other manufacturer's phone. I flashed and accidentally removed USB cable and then couldn't revive the phone. Your motherboard may be corrupted now and only way to get it back is to use test point or replace motherboard
Hi everyone,
I have an SII GT- I9100 that I installed a custom ROM on a while back (probably 2 years ago). After a while it got badly bricked I don't remember what happened, and not only that
the charging port was also messed up so I couldn't connect it to my pc (pc wouldn't recognize it unless I held the cable in with force, but even that didn't work after some time).
It's been sitting on a shelf for about a year and I decided to buy a new charging port, replace it, unbrick it and give it to my mom.
I did replace it and I can connect it to my pc now but there's still issues. On my main windows 10 pc it gives me an error "USB device not recognized, the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". (I've reinstalled usb drivers and troubleshooted with Kies).
I keep the phone in download mode while I am trying to connect it to my pc since I can't boot into anything (I have a yellow triangle and Samsung logo if I don't go into download mode).
On my laptop (win 7) I've managed to get windows to install all the drivers(even though it failed a couple times ?), I've also troubleshooted with Kies, still Kies can't connect to it.
I want to restore it to stock ROM but I haven't been successful. First Odin gave me "setup connection" error but then I rebooted the pc and it "worked".
Now it just says complete (write) operation failed.
I've tried 3 different Odin versions, nothing.
What bothers me is that Odin says "Added !" but everyone online to the people with similar issue says that they should reinstall drivers or talks about USB Debugging (which I can't turn on or off since it's bricked).
Sorry for the long post but what's the move here? Am I using a bad ROM ? I've tried one for the country I live in but not the country from which the phone is ( I don't know the country, might be Austria), could this be the issue ?
Thanks in advance!
Update, I may have found the right ROM, now it's stuck at boot.bin
EDIT: Found a youtube "solution" to that, then it got stuck at cache.img
EDIT: Getting Driver issues again, Unknown Device :/
Okay so I've ruled out a couple of the culprits and I still struggle to connect my phone
The Cable,I know this because I've tried the same cable on a different phone and it work perfectly
The MTP drivers,I know this because I've installed this more than twice and restarted both device more than I can remember also every single driver I have installed gives me code 10 error and doesn't work after restart.
all of this happened after I tried to flash twrp on my device and when I pressed flash on the SPflash app it didn't flinch so I restart my phone, and lo and behold it starts to transfer files from the twrp .img file and after that my phone was still connected but nothing changed twrp wasn't there, but my phone was still connected and I when I progressed through the page on how to flash there was the drivers for it MTK drivers after I installed them nothing was working, so I uninstalled the phones drivers, exactly after that my phone wouldn't connect again, like I said I tried every thing, that I could do.
All I wanted to do is to root that old phone and give it a new life but no something has to go wrong and I tried going to the manufacturer's website for the drivers but no dice, I tried posting on the manufacturer's forum and still nothing they haven't even replied to my post about it being publicly available, so I hope that someone out there can help me diagnose ans fix this problem.
