you forget pattern/pin or what ? the easy way is to flash again by Odin
keep things as simple as possible I suppose you do not have important data on phone if so just flash again !

Would you have a link to the latest flash files please.

-flash again by Odin check if you can enter recovery/download mode by keys
-when your phone is starting you should see a samsung/android logo this is botloader image..if you can't see it phone is bricked it means bootloader is affected and you need service tools to repair bootloader
never flash it without checking battery status at least 50% and use a laptop on battery to avoid power surge problems

Samsung s5230 is run properiatly os so you cannot use odin, but you can use mulitloader program to flash stock firmware to your phone.

Can't get into Download-Mode! Please help me flashing..

Hi!
I just can't get into the download-mode.. i tried it hundred times! Its always just booting like normal!
I want to flash the I9000XWJM5 Firmware and then the SamSet V1.9. But i just cant get the download-mode working! So i can't flash anything...
Is there an other way to get into that mode? Or is it possible to flash the I9000XWJM5 ROM in the recovery mode?
Thanks for your help! =)
adb reboot download not working?
now my Galaxy stucks at the black/white Samsung writing! None of the button-combinations work! And it is not recognized by my PC!
What can I do now? Did I brick my phone?!?!
now my Galaxy stucks at the black/white Samsung writing! None of the button-combinations work! And it is not recognized by my PC!
What can I do now? Did I brick my phone?!?
Remove battery for 30 sec, press volume down + menu + power for more than 6 seconds (till the screen comes up). Should work than.
What provider are you on? Cos some phones from Bell dont go into download mode from what I heard.
i'm afraid so
if you can not do the 3 button combination to get it back into the download mode, you'll have to return it to samsung which will refer you back to the phone company to have it fixed
nothing helped... this sucks! those kutton-combinations did not work at all.. even before i obviously bricked my phone.. dammit!
Anyone got an other idea?
at this point there is no much to do but throw in the tower, and take it back to the place where you bough it.
tell them the 3 button restore mode doesn't work, and you can't continue upgrading to version 2.2
I had the same issue

[Q] Help HTC touch diamond recovery

Hi all!
I tried to flash my HTC (I had already do that and all was ok), but this time something has gone wrong.
Now I can turn on my phone but when I see the startup screen (black screen it doesn't load windows) it frozen.
Now, I'd like to know if there is a way to change my ROM without Active Sync and without boot the device, just from the internal memory.
Can anyone help me. I've lost my HTC son and I'm still crying
Thank You,
Leo
Try flashing the ROM again or do a hard reset.
If the above does't work try with DiamDowngrader.exe
Just put your Diamond in bootloader mode and start the program.Then follow the instructions on the screen.
If you can't find it I can send it to you.
Hi ivobmw, please send me the software.
Thanks,
Leo
You can flash from bootloader,to get in bootloader hold volume down when the phone is off and you will get to a tricolour screen
connect the usb and flash a rom that is known to be working from the pc like usual
How can i directly flash from from bootloader? Can you help me?

Yeah, you made a little mistake, i dont know for sure that now, but try to re-flash to 1.2 some bada version not to 2.0.1, but first know how to turn off security, becouse it can be not to late, or you get Brick or Semi-brick Good luck dude
Are you sure you can't go to download mode ?????
If yes then i announce it : time of brick 23/7/2011
you will need JTAG or RIFF box to reanimate it
**** i cant go to download mode i guess im ****ed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15935274&postcount=102
Try other Key combo... maybe you have luck.
Best Regards
Hello, lest you accidentally tried to flash BADA 2.0 with an older version of "Multiloader" if so remove the battery of the phone put it again and start the "Download mod" with keys "Vol up" + "Lock key" + "Power on" If you start flashing again with "Multiloader 6.65"
thanks but it doesnt work any other tipps? oh and i user 5.65

If you cannot enter to download mode then you are in big trouble... You will need JTAG to reanimate it.
**** is there nothing else i could try?
If you turn it off and put the charger in nothing happends?
If so. JTAG is only way
If not you COULD have a semi-brick but i think you still need JTAG

Trying before asking? If you've read this thread then you would know that you should try to reflash
If your phone boots as soon as you put in battery then hold
vol down + camera when you put the battery in

I think you might have soft bricked your phone. Search the forum how to unbrick a soft-bricked phone. That might help
Are you positive that your WFS is GSM -marvel-a510e ?
Also ,Could you be a bit more specific about what happens when you try to go to boot-loader mode or when you try to boot it.
As in the provided link, did you have to perform procedure 3 or did you perform procedure 2 and was it working? A bit more info about what you did could help others analyze the issue

At the link i did the procedure 1 because my phone couldn't update to 2.3.5 so i tried to update it that way.
when i start the phone it just flashes it's screen and then goes off. it doesn't show htc logo or anything it just flashes some pixels. the loop is so frequent that it happens in 3 sec. Even if i try to start the phone by pressing "volume -" key and "power" key it does same thing, just loops every 3 sec.
I have tried to find a way to fix this but it seem that there is nothing to do because i can't boot to recovery. Is there a way to put the phone to recovery in other way or is here a way to make factory install?
It's really hard to do anything to this phone because my pc won't recognize it in any possible ways and it won't boot to recovery mode.
Do anyone know if i split the phone in to pieces and then manage to boot it or find the system memory and change files in there.

Even if you want to unbrick the device using back-toback tool , you need to enter the boot-loader mode.
Even for other ways, still it needs to be detected by the PC so that we can pass commands using ADB.
Sorry Dude, I can't help much either I am new to this myself. But i hope somebody here will definitely help you
2. There is a possibility that you could "brick" or bootloop your phone. There are two types of brick: soft (recoverable) and hard (non-recoverable). With a soft brick, the phone will not boot or keeps rebooting ("bootloop"), but it can be started in bootloader mode which allows repair of the ROM. With a hard brick, the phone won't even boot into bootloader after holding the power button for 10 seconds and the phone must be returned to HTC for service.

Have you unlocked your Boot-Loader from HTC Dev? Also, you need to install a recovery tool in order to boot into recovery. If you have done only the steps mentioned in the
PROCEDURE 1
Click to expand...

then you haven't unlocked the boot loader and no recovery is also installed (I believe) . In this case, I think this is a hard-brick(Correct me if am wrong) which is impossible to recover . Anyways, we shall await other replies from DEVs here in the Forum.

I tried to unlock the bootloader but it wanted 2.3.5 so i tried to install the new version. now it can't do anything. Well this didn't broke my heart because the phone is pretty worthless . now i have to buy new phone sooner than i planned but still all help is still accepted.
Hi, exactly the same for me : I bought the phone 2 years ago and immediately unbranded it with a goldcard, but never tried to unlock it because it was my wife's and I didn't want to risk anything.
Now she got a new phone, I wanted to play a little with the Wildfire S ^^.
In order to unlock the phone on htcdev I had to update it from 2.13.401.2 to 2.13.401.3, with RUU because can't update with OTA (different CID), with goldcard inside.
After the RUU finished, it says "congratulations everything went well", but actually the phone does not boot, stocked in a loop "quick flash / turns off", can't access bootloader, no USB detection for ADB.
Can't send it to HTC because the 2 years warranty is expired, how ironic ! :laugh:
So... if anyone does know or see any trick that could help to boot anything on this "seems to be hard-bricked" kid... huge thanks to you

Bricked d855 16 GB No download mode

Hey All,
I have searched the forum for this but i dont seem to get the same issue. And i dont want to make things worse, so i post it here. Hope you guys and galls are able to help.
So what happend. I wanted to flash back my G3 d855 16Gb Eur model.
Something allong the way went wrong, and i dont know what. All i know is that when i came back my phone was turned of. And my pc gave a failed message.
Now i cannot get in to download mode anymore. It gives me the LG boot logo and that is it.
When i want to enter download mode i get the download mode logo, with in the top left corner a verification error.
It goes quite fast so i cannot get the exact message. Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix. Ore is it indeed really dead?
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
if you can't enter the download-mode, your mobile is dead. You may flashed a wrong firmware and the bootloader was overwritten with a wrong device.
Can you enter into Recovery?
Kind regards
Trafalgar Square
Nope, the phone reacts when i connect it to the pc. I get the android bootlogo. And when i power up with volume -, the i get the factory reset options but it dont work.

Can you reboot your phone into recovery mode (If it is already rooted and custom recovery installed).
I also faced a problem like that. In my problem when i reboot into download mode it took me to fastboot mode with 4 to 5 commands on left upper edge. If you can boot into that "fastboot" mode then tell me so i can help you better.
If you can't see anything like above then tell me that too i will try best to help you get out of this problem>>
No I don't get those options.
I get some kind of miss match error
exact error is:
boot verification failed
cause mismatch_sig_len
Hey All,
Just want to let you know, that i have been struggeling with my phone for two weeks. Offcourse not 24/7. But it is back alive. I managed to do the wiretrick and i was able to load up the Qualcom 9008 driver. After a long struggle i even managed to get the phone reconized by board diag. From that on it was easy to flash back all partitions. And download/firmware update mode was back. After this all i was able to flash the KDZ file.
I then lost my IMEI, but i backed up my EFS and all other importend files in the beginning. After rooting and flasing my EFS all was back to normal.
So ... i quess the d855 is indeed unbrickable
