If you can't get into download mode using a USB jig (you can buy one for around £3 UK) Then you will have to take it to a repair shop

After experimenting hell a lot with galaxy y duos, I've got Moto G but still I think I can suggest you something.

Rlax, it happens, download other files.

Maybe your PDA, BOOTLOADER, PHONE, CSC files are corrupt or any one of them is so.

It happened with me many times, file working today may not work tomorrow.

Also, do not panic and connect your device carefully. It may not connect to odin menu if you connect cable after the time you should or before that. (at the time logo apears).

If everything is fine, you start the software but no progress occurs or there is a FAIL or ERROR message or stage 1 get clear but it never move to stage 2 and process end up saying successful but you find the phone still in same condition.

Download new files/software. :)

OH BOY!

You've flashed/installed some corrupt file I guess. If you tried flashing a custom rom I'd suggest you to use ODIN MODE to flash stock ROM.

See, when you flash 1 custom ROM and than another over it, whether you clear or not the CACHE AND DATA etc, there are huge chances to encounter a bad installation.

I always suggest to install custom ROM then install stock ROM, then install any other ROM, but each time, factory reset the device and clear all data i.e., possible.

Search ODIN MODE in the XDA or Google and don't follow any link other than XDA I'd suggest.

Its a hard brick

i think you downloaded wrong files.. they were not for your model so you end up hard bricking it ..

If none helps then just press power plus vol down plus home..cant remember exactly cuz i dont use this device anymore but same combination as for download mode..then press vol. Up (what you do to start a connection) and conmect it to pc and see if odin detects it..helped with most if you are lucky enough..otherwise you need to buy a jig..but that wont be smarter option..

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] vishalgaur789:
Download mode is a life savour itself. Collect correct files through xda forums that are required for odin mode installation. I've moved to iOS so as far as I remember, you need Bootloader and 2 other non corrupt files to flash stock rom through ODIN method

First download Stock rom(for your model and country)

Then latest ODIN software for PC

Then requred files for odin.

Follow the steps (you'll find by google- flash stock rom via odin mode)

You'll be done.

Try a different version(latest or a notch earlier) of Odin for desktop.

If it happens with other versions too, you're either not putting the files in right slots, or your downloaded files are corrupt(so you'll need to download them from different links)

There can be a third issue(rare chances though)

That you're not able to connect tour phone correctly to the PC(changing cables would help)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
First make sure you verified the MD5 of the jelly bean rom to make sure you have a good download

And then if I was you, I would Odin or mobile Odin the el26 kernel.. Wipe everything.. Flash rom and GAPPS (optional)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah. Keep forcing the install and taking (unsafe) shortcuts is a sure way to hard brick your phone. Jb, asop and sometimes cyanogen roms are very risky flashing in between because of the likelihood of bricking the phone.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Copenhagenmail55:
This fix works!

My Kies 2.5.3.13043_14 on Win 8 Pro crashed all the time during it's boot.

This fix Works!

1. I followed the previous instructions and opened the file named Kies.exe.config in a text editor and deleted these lines:

<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" />

<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />

2. I opened the preferences for the Kies desktop shortcut and

a. checked Run as Administrator

b. picked run in compatibility mode as Windows 7.

3. Kies now didn't crash, but didn't connect to my phone. So I closed it and Windows 8 then asked me if the compatibilty setting was successful. I answered "No" and Windows 8 suggested that I try the setting for XP Service Pack 3. I did that and it now Works without issue! When I was asked whether the setting now worked and I wanted to keep it I replied Yes and Winodws 8 notified me that it would report this to the mothership. I think that others might have experianced the same thing and that this was the basis for the suggestion I got.

BTW

after using Kies, my phone would not charge

...... I soon found that closing teh phone down and restarting it solved the issue.

Samsung should really Invest some time and Money to make this really bad software much better. If any of you used Nokia's PC Suite in the pre-Windows Phone days, you know how good this software could be if they made the efffort.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BNAMack:
Thanks for the help

First of all, thank you for this thread. It averted much frustration.

On my i-747 SG3 using Windows 8 Home premium, I ran only the steps not struck-through above, then accepted the compatibility setting Win8 offered after I answered 'No' to 'did the compatibility settings work?' ... Kies works fine now. Kies updated itself immediately after this and I have had no issues connecting, using or charging phone afterwards.

I'm not arguing against editing Kies.exe.config ... it just wasn't necessary in my particular case.

Flash 4ext recovery via PB99IMG method (check my sig). Partition your sd-card with it.

1gb ext

Skip the rest.

Your ext partition will be converted to the rom's needs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
ok first off dont tell people use PB99IMG in ur sig, it will not work, atleast make the link to my guide or atleast have the correct setup. all uv done is renamed a zip file that 4ext recovery control saves to ur phone when u flash new recovery.

for PB99IMG to work, u need ONLY recovery.img and the android-info.txt inside a zip file named PB99IMG.zip

easiest way to do it is download a PB99IMG hboot from Alpharev, open it and ul have 2 files inside,

android-info.txt

hboot.img

delete hboot.img and put in the recovery.img u have, thats it.

so now ur PB99IMG.zip will have

android-info.txt

recovery.img

Hey guys,

Was trying to extract my unlock code from block device mmcblk0p6. I've rooted my phone and have ssh, busybox but when I check that block nothing makes sense. So my question is is that block now encrypted or something ? Or should I be looking elsewhere for UN_lock_code ?

Cheers.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MadManMark:
If its anything like the Xperia P then finding that unlock code is like impossible or so i've heard...Contact your carrier maybe? they might unlock it for like £15
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
True, I have never heard of any free way to sim unlock apart from speaking VERY nicely to your carrier and they are unlikely to do it for free...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] M3lt3mi:
Just a heads up, if you took your phone out on contract with O2 (UK) they will give you the unlock code for free, providing you are still in contract.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You can only ask...its all up to them.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] JJD809:
Yeah, with O2 in the UK it is free of charge. I have requested a SIM unlock code with my previous phone - an arc - which took 3 days for them to respond. With my Xperia T they took a week to respond and I got my unlock code last week.

A word of caution, you only get 5 attempts to enter a wrong unlock code so don't **** around and try random numbers like 0000 or something like that. After that, the phone is SIM locked permanently and you're screwed. With previous phones you could unlock the bootloader, using the SETOOL, which also wipes the simlock but with the Xperia T I dont think you can do the SETOOL thing no more... :(

Have a look here: http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI...ef(User):str(Mobile),CASE=ref(unlockmymobile)

...or go directly here: https://www.o2.co.uk/apps/help/help?qid=1&q1=2&route=unlocking&case=Handset Unlocking Form

The email you then receive looks like this:

Dear O2 Customer,

Thank you for your email.

The code you require for IMEI No - 123456789012345 is as follows:-

1234567890123456

For Unlatching Sony Ericsson Devices;

- Power on device with a non O2 UK SIM card

- The device shows: "SIM network unlock PIN"

- Enter the unlock code (NCK) for the network lock and press "Unlock"

- Device will pop up a message "Network unlock successful"

Kind Regards

Hello,

I have been trying to install Chameleon on my SGSII but I can't seem to make it work.

Everytime i boot my phone I get stuck on the original Samsung splash screen

I manage to enter both download mode and ClockworkMod Recovery. When I install Chamaleon I don't get an error message.

But then I reboot and nothing happens. At one point I got a new splashcreen (an X and beautilful colors) , but nothing else after it.

What is my best option so far?

I have tried the Heimdall technique, without luck. I get an error message after something about a handshake..

I have also tried with another ROM (CM9 nightly) and exactly the same happens (new splashscreen on reboot, that's it).

Thanks for taking a minute to help me!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JakeLee28:
on recovery select install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card, and then select the zip file by browsing the SD card (it will be under external_sd folder, click yes, and wait, then reboot. :)

then copy the ROM to the SD card and do the same. after flashing the ROM flash siyah again to so you will still have siyah if your ROM flashed a defferent kernal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastiaen:
It seems to be working but I'm not sure I understand your -quoted- sentence. During the instal I could choose stock CM9 kernel or Syiah kernel, i chose Syiah. Do I have to do anything else?

Also, I installed LPX Modem, should I have gone for LPW, LPS or Kl4?

well thats fine if you chose siyah, and LPX modem is fine. is the phone working now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sebastiaen:
