[Q] Firmware Upgrade Fail - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Hey,
I have a
Samsung Exhibit 4G SGH-T759
Looks like this http://www.boeboer.com/wp-content/u...MobileSGHT759ManualUserGuideSpecsOverview.jpg
I Think flashing custom rom failed, i do not really remember which isnt that important i guess.
Whenever I turn it on It says on the screen
Firmware upgrade fail !
Try using recovery mode
---------
The problem is i can not go to recovery or the download mode.
Home Lock vol +
or
the Home lock vol -
Does not do anything.
Odin recognizes the device but i can not flash anything to it....
Is there anyway to force this device to go into recovery or download mode?
Tmobile asks 70$ for the repair... I dont want to pay it because i have a note 2
but i dont want this device to be useless either..
Any help?

this is a forum for t679 not t759

Sorry for that, i did search for the 759 general forum but i couldn't find it. "type to find your device" does not work this model also google.
would anybody like to help me about this issue on this forum or provide me a link of t750 forum?

Google t759 stock, in not going to do your research for you but the first site is someone with your exact problem.

if your 3 button combo is notworking how can you flash stock?
Burn it on a CD and try to stick it to the device? I think it would not work..... at all...

Well first are you sure you are using the right combo and there is another way, you could buy a download mode jig for about 5 and that should boot it into download fine

Yeah im sure im using the corret combo. I own a note 2, rooted unlocked,custom rom, recovery installed on it.
So Jig is my solution i guess!

Edit after research:
That thing looks pretty simple actually... I can make my own jig with a resistor i guess

HELP! Galaxy S Wont Start, no Download Mode, No Recovery Mode

This is my 1st post on the forum, I think that's someone can help me,
I have( had ) a Galaxy S with JVO firmware, and I tried to flash it with Odin, this is not the 1st time I do it, but this time I've got an error, so when verifying the TAR file used, I discovered that I used a Galaxy S2 firmware , so automatically I unplugged the cable, and removed the battery, and when I try to turn it on, or launch recovery mode, or even the download mode, nothing happen, and the worst thing ever is when I put it on the electricity sector, nothing happen, the screen steel black
Can any one help me please?
Oh dear?
Maybe you need to get a Download mode Jig?
someone else may be able to answer weather or not that will help.

Me too, I had the same issue few days ago, but I haven't tried the JIG thing yet. But having seen some doing it on Youtube, gave me hope.....
I sent mine off to Samsung, I blamed it on kies, because if it won't turn on, enter download nor recovery, theirs no way they can tell you've been tampering with it, so they fixed mine for free under warranty
A jig won't work if your phone won't turn on as its only for soft bricked phones where you see the phone, caution, and PC symbol, the only thing you can do is send it off for repair, I bought a jig for 9.99 and anticipated it till it arrived and didn't work, you need to send it off bud, theirs nothing you nor anyone else can do mate :-( sorry :-(

WARNING regarding the OTA update

Hey guys, do not flash the OTA update manually with CWM, it bricked my tab an will most likely brick yours too.
Make sure your tab is stock 3.0.1 and wait patiently.

To clarify, I'm taking about the OTA zip from Google, not the cwm backup.

I'm not sure what I must do to go back to stock rom and recovery so I can receive OTA, do you have any link you can point me to?

Tbh it's not such a crazy thing to think that the OTA was ok to flash with CWM.on the galaxy nexus that was fine to do.
But I learned my lesson and I'm starting to understand the reasons why

Just wondering if anyone has had any success in unbricking their tab yet. I was reading through old forum posts and there was a thread where fricorico had flashed a transformer rom and couldn't load fastboot or download mode. He said that he managed to get his tab into apx mode and could then eventually get the tab back up and running.
I can't post a link because I'm on the xda app but our forum isn't too big to find it and try. Also, not sure what or how to get into apx mode though so this post may be literally useless to most people. But maybe someone knowledgeable will remember something as a result.

Waiting for the damn thing to discharge fully to see if I can get out of the APX loop..

It's definetly possible to fix it!

hi
Hope I am posting in the right place as I am new to this.
I have a galaxy N-7000 and was using recovery to put Paranoid rom on my phone.
It started to install it then stopped and the screen went blank.
I cant switch the phone on nor can I use vol/up+ power+ menu button.
I also cannot get it into download mode and when I connect it to the computer it dos'nt see it.
I know I have probably ruined the phone but am hoping beyond hope someone can help
Thanks for anything.
Are sure battery was charged quite good?
If possible try to manage for it if you have low while start flashing.
And this shud goes to Q/A section.

I don't know what is a jig usb, but you should be able to flash a kernel with pc-odin and reboot recovery again.

[Q]noob alert, samsung mini 5570i bricked or?

Hello everyone.
i think I have problem. I try to search the forums for my answer but no luck so i decided to open new thread.
p.s. sry for bad english
I got samsung 5570i and I rooted it.
I used rom manager to install recovery.
Today i tryed to flash a custom rom (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2132503)
And now im stuck in bootloop
Then i try to unbrick my phone using this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226030) but no luck. I can't enter to recovery menu or bootloader. Odin and fastboot cant recognize device.
I didn't know there is a difference between pop and pop plus. Looks like I have pop and I flash pop plus rom
Can I save this phone or its totally bricked?
thx
Rom manager... It's bricked. Read before flashing, your phone can live longer.

Of course you can save it. But i think rom manager us not the best way to install cwm.Install again stock rom via odin and try a tutorial for cwm.

Next time read something before you do something.
You expect such application will run in a old device ? Dude, our phone (Galaxy Mini, both plus or normal) isn't a instant-one-click-to-do. You must do the hardwork yourself.
So bring it to Samsung Service Center and wait them to unbrick your damn phone.... uh... i don't understand why people keep doing same mistake in a same loops ? Why they don't read ALL goddamn thread about ROM Manager can brick your phone... uh... lazybutt.
Ok, chill man
Did i brick your phone? No. I bricked mine.. so no need to be like this.
I came here to ask how to fix it. Now i know i can't and thats it. I will not take old phone like that to samsung care. Pointless
