Low Battery DL Mode

Would having an extremely low battery affect me gaining dl mode with this method?

I have written the img many, many times in various ways on a 16gb class 10 microsd and attempted many orders of plugging in the battery, sd, and pc cable (then holding vol down + home + power for 10-15 sec) yet am having no success gaining dl mode. I do, however, hear Windows trying to recognize the device on each attempt and get the red led when plugged in without battery. I hard bricked my SPH-L710 while trying to fix a loud mic issue with Cyanogenmod 11, two days ago. I did it while my battery was probably below 5%.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
My battery was dead and it worked for me. What version were you running before it hard bricked?

I was trying to install Boeffla Sound Control via .zip in TWRP. Turns out I must have attempted to install a CM11 - i9300 kernal since I now don't see any for SPH-L710. Bad idea!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
No, I mean 4.1.2, 4.3, or 4.4. I'm assuming you're running 4.4. If so, it's probably not working because you aren't using the 4.4 debrick image.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] willjzuke:
Thank you for responding, TheKryptonite. The Cyanogenmod I had was built on 4.4.2. I have been attempting to debrick using the file linked in this OP which is from gTan64's OP (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345860). I apologize for asking but am I able to get the appropriate img?

DL Mode success! This 4.4 kitkat img worked immediately. Thanks, TheKryptonite!

After using Odin to flash this 4.4.2 from the OP (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SPH-L710) then flashing CF-Auto-Root I'm unable to access SuperSU (message: "Unfortunately, SuperSE has stopped."), YouTube (same) ...and other bugs.

No problem.

Try reinstalling SuperSU, if you can.

Or Odin the very latest Philz Touch Recovery tar.md5 and use its re-root option in its settings.

I now have a fully-working, bug-free phone after a hard-brick thanks to all the great people on xda-developers!

In case anyone can benefit from my situation... I finally gained access to DL Mode after using the appropriate debrick.img for my hard-bricked SPH-L710 running Android 4.4 Kit-Kat (which is not the .img file provided in this original post). Without installing any .md5 or doing anything from Odin or Recovery Mode I was able to reboot with SD card in back to my Cyanogenmod 11 rom with all data completely still intact! So I backed up all important data onto my PC. There were some non-functioning programs (such as the inability to get any cell signal) so I used "pda" on Odin to flash a stock 4.4 Samsung rom. That gave me cell use and the ability to reboot without SD but then even more programs were non-functional. I installed Philz Touch Recovery which then allowed me to re-install/fix SuperSu. Other programs still malfunctioned so I re-installed the stock rom in Odin but still had problems. I finally went to Recovery Mode, formated my data, and put the phone back to factory reset. Now everything is up and running, perfectly!

Thanks, again!

Need help, hard bricked r530u,4.12

Hi bros, I got my R530U hard bricked, it ran on 4.12, 16G.

At first, I just wanted to have it rooted, and then I flashed a recovery-cw6.0.2.3-r530u.tar downloaded form a domestic forum with Odin, and it could go into recovery mode, then I made the mistake, I flashed another openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-d2usc.tar in the recovery mode which was found in an website for R530U, and then the phone rebooted and never started again, no recovery mode, no download mode any more.

When connected via usb with no battery, red light turns on; and if battery plugged, red light turns off within seconds.

Then I searched the internet an found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2345860&page=63 and http://xdaforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=54289551 threads, and almost read all the threads.

First, I downloaded 3 debrick imgs for R530U

https://app.box.com/SCH-R530U SCH-R530U_MJA_Debrick.bin

http://upload.teamuscellular.com/5Dd backup.bin

this from xda, in googledrive, uscell-debrick-SCHR530.bin

The first 2 can be written into SD card, but the 3rd would not, I got screenshot in the attached 7z.

Hopefully I have been using linux for some years, Kbuntu, 12.04. the command as below:

You need the specific debrick for your device. You need someone with who you are serviced through with the same phone to provide a debrick image for you.

Needing help

Alright I think ill get better help if I ask the community instead of running around without my phone. (Samsung Galaxy S3 Virgin Mobile)

Past a month ago, I had on MOAR rom 4.3 on my phone, which gave me little to no problem whatsoever. Worked flawlessly. Due to a bad roomate situation (hence why it's taken me so long) I didn't have internet at home, but I had it at work, and I wanted to try out a new rom on my phone. (ive flashed like 10 roms on my phone, so I was pretty use to things at that point, so I thought). At work, I was trying to download Gummy 4.4, as Ive been hearing more and more things about the 4.4 and wanted to see what the hype was about, and also heard good things about Gummy. Downloaded everything I needed to download while I was working, and while on lunch break, I was pretty excited and wanted to install it right away, even though the battery was at 43% ( i knew i shouldn't have). Tried to back everything up, but it woulda taken quite a while, so i passed that, and just wiped everything on the phone, installed the gummy modem, then tried to install the gummy rom, which it appeared to be corrupted... upset, I went to my only alternative, which was to reinstall MOAR, which I did, did all the dialog, which break was over, and so i was rushing quite abit. When everything was over, it asked to automatically reboot, which i hastely pressed confirm, and then my phone didnt reboot, never came back on or anything. I hated myself so much for being quick, but in all I'm not exactly sure what i did wrong. Was it cause I didnt wipe the modem when the main file didnt work?

Ive tried this procedure, bought a class 10 16gb card, at first used my old phone as the adapter to put the file on, which it didnt work on the phone at all. waited till i got to a firends and used his adapter for the card, used the software to burn it on there, and still nothing. If i plug the phone in, the red light comes on, which goes off maybe a minute later. tried powering it on, download mode, eveyrthing, nothing at all. Just holding the buttons hoping i feel a vibe of life from it, but it gives me nothing.

Any ideas on what I can do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] !Led*Eyes!:
Make sure you are using the image for your bootloader jic. Use Ubuntu not disk image. It takes a few tries sometimes so try not to be discouraged but use the card that is the same size as the phone. The usb jig won't bring it to life by itself but it makes things so much easier when ur trying to resurrect

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CojonesDeToro:
Thanks. It worked for me

Note: I know this is an old thread, but I hope I can be excused for bumping since I am adding more information in that Win32disk imager works.

Thanks for posting this, and thanks to the original dev who crafted the boot image. It's funny that I bricked my phone in exactly the same, with the same ROM.. (my bad for not reading)

I was able to skip having to launch a Linux instance and use Win32 Disk imager:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

I'm pretty well versed in Linux, but this was already installed and was handy. I used a Sandisk 32GB card and it worked well. I am now able to boot my phone

Now, I am not sure how to proceed. It boots and works from the card but I'd like to make use of a regular SD card. I can certainly boot to DL mode and use ODIN to reflash, but my phone is a special case. I bought it on Ebay. It was a Sprint Phone but was reflashed to work on pageplus cellular. I would like to flash a rooted stock ROM, but will that "unflash" the page plus capability? I've messed with Android and ROMs for years, but I gather that the cell network activation is stored elsewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ifoam:
Thank you

I flashed my SPH-L710 with the wrong firmware. I thought I had installed it wrong. The phone wouldn't boot at all. No lights. If I plugged in the USB cable without the battery, I'd get a red light. If I put the battery in, it would turn off.

Found this thread and using everyones notes, was able to do this.

I used cygwin to format a 16GB Class 10 SD Card on Windows Vista. I knew my phone was using version 4.4.3 so the original file didn't work. Later in the thread I found the link to the recovery image for a 4.4.x firmware and used that to copy to the SD card. The file was DEBRICK_KK_L710.img

I put the battery in the phone, plugged in the USB, and inserted the microSD card. I then turned on the phone on using down volume+power+home and the phone vibrated (the adrenaline rush is real!). It was in download mode. Ran the SPH-L710_ND8_Full_Restore_UNROOTED.exe and restored the original sprint rom!

THANKS SO MUCH!

I can get in to philz recovery manager with this method - but after i'm in philz, what do I do? How do I flash an image? My SD card is now tiny, If I try to use diskpart or minitool partition wizard to reformat while it's mounted from philz, it won't let me.

Is it okay to remove the SD card while i'm in philz recovery manager, and then put the card in my computer, restore the partitions, put the stock file on the drive, then reflash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] !Led*Eyes!:
You can use adb and sideload or use philz to reboot to download mode and Odin your tar
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mastema23:
iFoam Thankx

This worked with a severely hard bricked cynogenmod with 4.4.4 that got corrupted by pressing the wrong install in a recovery mode.

All I wanted to do was flash a stock rom to reactivate a phone on Sprint. The Debrick_KK_L710 with win32diskmanager did the trick. Also used

a 16gb class 10 sandisk card. Patience, and reading lots of details on xdadevelopers. These guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing. It saved my phone.

In the end the entire process with all the right files took less than 2 hours. this included reflashing the Full Unrestore on Odin.

I really don't have a good answer for why I tried the EZ unlock app out other than I was dumb/stupid in doing so.

I knew my bootloader was already unlocked but I didn't think that by using this app would hard brick my phone. I feel like a complete moron and have felt this way for awhile now because I have a brand new GS3 that won't work at all. I never even got to use the phone!! Lesson learned but I'd bet it'd work if I could get someone to post an SPH-L710T debrick image. No luck so far and I have tried for at least 3 months to find one.

Once you have the debrick.img you have to use it to create a bootable sdcard to boot the device from. There are detailed instructions for using the debrick.img in the Verizon S3 I535 forum.
