Ok - despite clear instructions - not quite.

Will this work for ANY Samsung device? Only phone is mentioned. I have a Galaxy Tab 2.

Once in recovery mode - do you continue by pressing Volume Up to go into Odin mode on device? Never mentioned in instructions.

When do you plug your device in? Before KIES starts, after KIES starts? I can't get into recovery mode on the Tab2 with the USB plugged in, so at what point do you connect it to the PC?

And finally, which isn't really part of the tutorial - does anyone know if this works on Windows 10TP?

I get into recovery mode, volume up, plug it in (starting KIES before - or After), get into EFR, and - nothing is ever listed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Start kies first, then afterwards it should tell you too plug in your device. There is no no no need for recovery top use kies fyi. It will do everything on it's own ok. Or have device off and plug in then start kies it will find it. I had to use kies long long ago to put a phone back to stock after it was stuck in a bootloop. Good luck to you ok.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tundrwd:
Device sorta boots up - so it's not entirely dead. I'm just trying to get it back to "factory". I've had other ROMs on it, and CWM, and now it's acting up, so I'm trying to "wipe and clean".

As to your instructions:

Ok - is device powered on or off when you plug it in?

Not sure what you mean by "There is no no no need for recovery top use kies fyi" Are you saying I don't need to go into Emergency Recovery Mode? If not, how does the device get recovered when it's not totally bricked?

Powered on (in recovery mode) or off when I plug it in makes no difference Kies 2.63 never finds it.

When it's powered up - in recovery mode - at least Kies recognizes something is plugged in - but still never finds it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I ment there's noooo need to boot to the custom recovery was what I was referring to ok. Now when I had to use this the last time, phone was off! After I started the kies program, and got to the step where it asked me for the serial#, then I plugged it in. Hopefully you have all the drivers install for your device, if not it will not work right. If you do then kies should see the device. And if everything goes well it will reset the phone similar to Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tundrwd:
Obviously I wouldn't boot into custom recovery - but I need to get into odin recovery (power button & volume down), the question then is (which isn't referred to in the tutorial), you need to hit power up to go into odin, or power down to reboot - so - do you do nothing once you see that, or hit power up to go into odin.

I've done a fresh install of Kies (I'm assuming it did whatever was necessary to get USB drivers installed), and no matter what I do - Kies does NOT see the device, no serial #, etc.

And if Kies doesn't automatically download USB drivers - where can I get them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I did this a very long long time ago, and trying to remember what I actually had to do. Don't really member booting up the phone for this to work ?. The pc should see the usb connected to the device, which in turn kies should also find it that way. If it's on or off! ?

Sammy drivers>> http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tundrwd:
Gave up and just used Odin, and a copy of the stock firmware I had downloaded before. Got it flashed using Odin - but now stuck on the "SAMSUNG" logo booting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Haha lol...

Same thing I would have done myself when I'm stuck. Try a factory reset see if that fixes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tundrwd:
Yeah - except it isn't fixed. Stuck on logo. Trying stock flash again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Hopefully you figured out the problem worth your tablet. Returning it to stock firmware, just curious if ya found a fix yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tundrwd:
Thanks for asking!

Kinda - sorta. Check my reply here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-2/7-inch-development/problems-tab-2-reflashed-stock-rom-t3067433

So - it's working, but I have no idea why, or why I had the problem in the first place. Interesting - CWM was hammered. Using Vol+ & power wouldn't get into ANY recovery mode - it would just reboot until I reflashed and repartitioned with stock. Even then, as described - took several tries before it would boot beyond the "SAMSUNG" logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
No problem. ?

Well at least it's working now ?. Which is good news in my book. Next time you have problem flashing with Odin, try a older version like 3.07 or 3.04 see if that helps next time, if you have a next time. Lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] zarraza:
So I realize this is an old thread but I'm having issues with my sch-i605

verizon rep suggested I corrupted the software by pulling the battery at boot - i kinda agree so I'm trying to use Kies to put it back to stock

I am able to get in to download mode but when launching normally all i get is squiggly lines all up and down the screen.

Launch Kies as admin

plug in phone

press vol down, home, and power and it launches download mode

but nothing happens with kies.

when i select the volume choice to continue with a custom OS install it starts talking to Kies and says ""Device not responding, to resolve this issue, reboot the device and press OK - that does nothing because I can't reboot the device, i just pull battery and start at square one.

reading the FIRST POST in this thread suggests that i should be 100% able to recovery my device since I'm in download mode - but Kies doesn't share that enthusiasm.

what would happen if I put a stock ROM on a SD card and tried the download process? (if possible, does anyone know where I can get a jelly bean ROM for the i605?)

and what would be the procedure to do so? just put the ZIP file on the root of the SD card and try that? or do I need to extract files from that ZIP file before attempting to download?

anyone got any other ideas? I'd try Odin, but I'd rather exhaust my efforts with Kies first.

i have samsung glaxy s3 that was briked when i am recovering data please tell me i am worry about this..please please please
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
Well hello ere body. Wow its been nearly 3 years since I started this thread can't believe it's still active. To khanshahjahan : I Will try to help u but I have moved on from my gn3 a while ago. First off (as I am sure this is still a rule of thumb) when asking for help it is important to describe your phone and issues as accurately and thoroughly as possible. Can you get into recovery? You have an s3 but which one? Is your phone rooted? Stock or custom rom? I have to be honest I have not used kies in a loooong time so I don't know if the platform is the same. So again can you get to recovery? If so have you tried factory reset via recovery? In case no With phone off Press volume up, home, and power at the same time this should take you to recovery. Unless recovery is corrupted this should work. When you used kies the phone was it in download mode? These questions seem stupid but you didn't really mention what steps you took or other info. Post back I'll try to help but no promises. Sry for your troubles.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] khanshahjahan:
first of all i tell you how i am briked my phoone when my phone was at recovery it was briked i think due to poor usb connection when i power on it now it just on for a half second i tried power button and volum up to restart recovery but it does not work than i download kies softwere conneccted usb also with phone i update the from help tool mean initialize it and than next i also write model name while upgrade and initializing wrote module name as GT-18190 than troubshoot option came to me i also get it and than click emergency firmwere recovery option come i click it but now i dont know what is recovery code and where is it...i know its rude i dont know how i will communicate you my problem but you can help me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
No worries friend, nothing you wrote was rude. you stated you pushed power and volume up and no recovery- did you push volume up, power, AND home key? if you did not push all 3 together this why you can't get to recovery. Do you have the most current version of kies? Sry for so many questions. If kies is not working your only alternative will be to download Odin and flash your oem firmware. You should in theory be able to find your stock firmware for your phone here on xda but i recomend google for easier search. Keep in mind you MUST use firmware specific to your phone and carrier. This is true for USA phones can't confirm for international or other countries. So another quick question have you tried to see if you can get into download mode? You do know that you need to be in download mode for kies right? Kies does not work in recovery. Download mode: ( I'm sure you know this but just in case) push power, volume DOWN, and home key. Just like recovery mode you need to push all 3 at the same time.

As long as you can get to download mode you should be able to save your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] khanshahjahan:
i get downloading mode ..now i am connected with usb what i should do next
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
Hello this is my last reply for today it's way late and I'm going to sleep. First thing... is your phone charged? If not pull battery and charge phone.

Charged is good? Then ok. First try kies again. BTW I forgot to ask are your Samsung USB drivers up to date? Make sure they are. OK so assuming you have the current drivers run kies let it set up. Put phone into download mode. Follow the prompts i think it says something like push vol up to continue. Phone will now say "downloading do not unplug" . Plug in your phone to computer. Does kies detect phone? If yes best thing to do is first try and see if you can do galaxy s3 update FIRST. If it works well hooray. It's important you know your exact phone model, I'm sure you know this by now. If the update fails try the emergency firmware recovery. If you get the stupid code thing again try hitting enter with out a code. I remember this being an issue for some phones so you may want to Google this. If this fails don't worry, since you got to download mode your phone is salvageable BUT you will have to use Odin to flash your phones firmware. Google your phones model's firmware hopefully it's available. Read up on how to flash using Odin. This info is everywhere on xda. I forgot if you mentioned this but did you try factory reset from recovery? If you are able to get to recovery and there's no image of Andy lying down dead with a broken triangle your recovery should be fine. Sry if youmentioned this already. I'll check back tomorrow but I'm going to sleep now. Good luck with your quest! ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexandruvlad:
Hello there.

Kinda panicked here. N7100 owner.

*Problems here - phone won't list up in Kies.

*What kind of ROM should i safely use to recover this in ODIN, please? Does the Odin version count in any way?

*Also, is there any other way to use KIES for this? Or basically, if the phone doesn't show up in KIES (but shows up in ODIN on the same computer) - there's no chance of using Kies, right?

Thanks a lot

$1.88 usb jig might fix it. If you can at least boot it where it boots into a bootloop then it should be able to boot into download mode through the usb jig.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] HC1Gunner:
Not Seen by Kies

I tried Kies 2, unpatched, patched. I put my phone in download mode, it not matter how many times I connect, Kies never sees it, even after running the trouble shooter.

I've used multiple ports, different cables, I tried using my Surface Pro 4, that's never had a cell phone connected, Kies, nothing, exact same results on my surface, Kies never sees my phone. Before I started messing with my phone, it worked without any issue, other than it was rooted.

What else can I try / do to get my phone back, right now all that can be done is download mode
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] HC1Gunner:
Problem solved, connect phone back to my Surface, ran Odin 1.85, passed, and did a factory reset, Root now Gone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ramothefox:
I guess I should put my request for help here just incase anyone else gets the same problem as me if we figure out a fix. I own a S7 that is rooted and when I rebooted FRP was on for some reason and blocked me from entering my phone, my PC wouldn't recognize it in Kies or Smart switch so it didn't list my device and showed me my code and I don't a recovery code. So I attempted to use Odin to flash a stock rom and it kept failing with a complete operation write failure and now I can only turn my phone on download mode, I believe my drivers for my samsung are correct. Any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Cabbagestack:
I did not see in any step where you said to connect the Galaxy to the computer!

Secondly what do you do if it displays "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...", but the device will not go into recovery nor will it turn of, just keeps displaying same screen.

If you can get into download mode, flash the stock firmware from sammobile.com using Odin.

Just an fyi... youre in the wrong forum for device type. All i can suggest is researching how to use Odin and find your devices stock/oem and flash. Gl.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Install the Samsung USB drivers for your phone, open Odin 3.07 (https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=...168421&usg=AFQjCNEdxqAS5QWImOPDJboTA_V3D5S9eA), download the stock ROM from sammobile.com (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-S6810P/) and unzip the file once to get a tar.md5 file, connect the phone to the computer with the error screen showing, click on PDA in Odin, flash the phone.

Guys ... if kies is not working for you, and youve done all the proper things like: downloading the correct version of kies for your model (not necessarily the current one) making sure you have the correct samsung usb drivers and most importantly double checking your carriers model number (carriers use the same model number but add an extra letter number or two, to teflect their company) , then its time to learn how to use odin. This is an old thread, and only pertains to the mentioned phone per say. Tbh im starting to think that Sammy has legacy'd the older galaxy and have excluded them from kies all together. If it doesnt work, dont tske any chances on borking your phone its time to learn how to use Odin. The same of course applies: carrier/model specific for flashing. I have not used kies in years because imo Odin is now the way to go, but info up before you do anything. Im on a gn4 atm and once i get my hands on the new puxel xl or maybe a gn8 (if that happens) ill test out kies and see what works and what doesnt with my phone. If any one has used kies recently please post your model and experience.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
Sigh... see this is what im talking about. Odin is not for upgrading your phone. Find your firmware, then reflash using odin. Please research the proper way to do this. Notice i didnt say upgrade. Flash your phone back to its stock os. You should be able to find it on sammobile.com. Odin is not for upgrading, per say its strictly to flash regardless of firmware. Gl

Please help! I know this thread is over a decade old, but I think I have bricked my GT-S5830i by installing the wrong version of CWM Recovery, and it doesn't get past the Samsung logo when booting.

They both try for ages to find the device, then say "An error occured" or similar. Sorry to add to such an old thread, but I think my phone is bricked! Thank you so much in advance :)

I am in the market for a new phone I am currently running a droid x2 the phone itself is not bad other than the low memory and almost no more development for roms, so I'm trying to decide between a droid razr Maxx and a droid razr M both phones seem to have similar specs, the major difference I seen really was the faster processor on the M. the maxx is slightly cheaper as well. so which should I go with? I want a well performing decide that has development on going.

Hi. I have discovered two dead pixels on my screen: One in the middle and the other closer to an edge.

I am going to return the phone, but, before ordering a replacement, I would like to know if it's a common occurrence. Possibly, batch related?

Best way to check for a defective pixel is to:

Increase brightness to the max (uncheck auto brightness)

Download and install a free app called Dead Pixel Test by UJACHA from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwibmV0LnVqYWNoYS5kZWFkcGl4ZWwiXQ..

Cycle through the colors and inspect the screen.

I have dead pixels :(

Hello,

I have the same problem. I have 6 (YES 6!!) pixel dead on my Samsung Galaxy S4 :( :( :(

I buy it the launch day.

I don't know if they are dead since day 1. They are soooooo small. At first, i did not see them. But after I see one, i used a grey background color and start to find few of them. I used a program to restore dead pixel, it basicly flash all colors for 30 min, without success :(

This phone is really the best phone I ever had and pixels are so small it's hard to see it, but i'm a little bit dissapointed.

To see if you have dead pixels, I strongly recommand to use the grey background, then wait on night or before you go sleep when is dark in your room, you will find them only at this moment. On daylight it's almost impossible to see, unless you know exactly were they are.
