Hi,
I attempted to re-lock and then flash my i9305 yesterday with the latest firmware,
However, I must have done something wrong, but the Odinupdate failed and I now cannot enter Download or Recovery modes from a powered down state.
Instead, I am presented with Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. When I try to power up the device, all I see is this message "Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Even though the handset doesn't boot up properly, Windows seems to detect it and the driver support kicks in but Kies and, ABD and the GS3 toolkit will not recognise the existence of the handset.
Is this now dead and irrecoverable or can I fix this?
I have checked out the usual links on here to see if I can get the handset to startup in recovery mode again.

I hope someone can help.
Has anyone been able to recover a phone from this position?

Looks like I'll need to try a jig. I can't lose too much as they only cost 99p on ebay
Hi,
the USB Jig won't enter Download Mode if you can't do it with Vol Down + Home + Power
Hello guys, this is my first post, I am writing to ask for any kind of help for a problem I'm having with an Xperia SP, I describe everything.
The mobile stock has started to have problems with the SIM, turned off all the time, how to Fix PC Companion is not served at all. I wanted to try to install the CM to see if the problem disappeared, but since I could not access the phone I could not turn on USB debugging. Following the guide to install the CM11 get to the point where I access the Recovery where I have to choose how to transfer the MOD on the phone, but the problem comes here, after reboot the phone is no longer seen, the reason is for USB debugging disabled? Or for other reasons? Can I get around this?
I tried to load the MOD on the SD Card and start it from Recovery but the experiment failed. Tell me something wrong, how do I proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Is this a hard brick you're trying to explain? You can try to reflash stock FTF by using Flashtool. Please refer to this thread and report your findings here
Hi Guys,
So a few months ago I was trying to update to CM10 and when I was with TWRP i stupidly pressed wipe all instead of just flash as it was required at that time. I ended up deleting EVERYTHING or so it seams. Kindle won't even show any logos, screens, nothing, key combinations do nothing and when I connect it to any PC the PC "goes crazy" with it, the sound windows make when a USB device is connected and when you disconnet one? it constat, like it connects/disconnects/connects/disconnects/ and so on. I get a message that windows cannot recongize the device.
My guts tell me I absolutely wiped everything even twrp and now its a blank piece of hardware. is there a way to come back from this??
Appreciate any helpo I could get (and yes, regular users should not mess with stuff lie this. i know. )
Thanks, Charlie.
Do you have a fastboot cable? You will need to get into fastboot and flash a full restore.

Unfortunately I don't, and customs in my country won't let almost anything go through if I buy it online. If there is still hope to recover it I will try and have a friend buy one when abroad.
Once I get my hands on said cable what will it do and what would the next steps be?
Thanks a lot for replying @Red_81!
You can make one yourself if you're handy. Check out the SRT tool for how to do a full restore
Hello!
I am a happy owner of a OP3T 128GB version, but I've currently ran into an interesting issue . I am familiar with rooting android, fastboot, adb and stuff and I have limited experience (a begginer, but a quick learner ) with some other android phones. I hope I'm not creating a duplicit question - I am really sorry if I am, but I haven't found a solution to my problem even after hours spend behind the desk.
Long story short - accidentaly did an Advanced wiped in TWRP (3.1.1-0) and wiped my system (OS) and everything in the phone. I don't really care about the data, but checking the Sysem box in Advanced wipe menu has brought me into serious trouble it seems. Of course, I got a bootloop - my bad, right , nothing I can't fix I thought... But when I approached to try to flash a zip or .img of a system file/stock ROM respectively, I found literally no way to do so. My phone isn't recognized by my PC(s) (Windows and Mac) and I tried everything I could. The device isn't even a Qualcomm or sth. in the device manager - simply nothing, I can only get the device to charge sometimes when connected to the PC (seen in TWRP). I cannot connect an USB key to it via OTG either in TWRP to flash from there - TWRP just does not seem to know I even plugged a USB into the phone. I tried OP drivers, adb naked drivers, the phone and the PC just don't seem to be communicating at all.
The device can boot into fastboot, recovery (TWRP) and if proceeded TWRP prompts with "No OS installed" and I get a bootloop as expected. Is there any way I could try to flash the device with proper firmware? I do have the firmware and everything, I just can't seem to find a way how to flash it . I am a young student who just likes to play with tech stuff and devices and messed up and cannot help myself and I am really hopeless at this point . Any advice is greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much.

If you can flash/boot into TWRP, then probably nothing is lost. While in TWRP, if you connect your phone with PC, what happens? Do you hear the usual USB connection sound? If yes, what appears in the device manager?
Even if it doesn't appear in device manager, don't worry.
Boot into TWRP, go to storage, DISABLE MTP and enable it again. I know it sounds dumb, but just try it. It will be recognized as long as you have the proper drivers installed.
After that copy the zip of an OxygenOS based ROM like FreedomOS and flash it. Don't wipe anything. It will boot fine. I've done that a few times, never had a problem.
Thanks for the advice guys - no, no sound, nothing - as I said, I only get the charging (+) icon in twpr next to the battery percentage.
I did disable and enable MTP before - although not plugged in a pc during the process - will try if I have the chance.
One more thing that might ring a bell for someone - I tried the key combo for hard reset today(power + vol down) for a couple second and moments later I got a fuzzy (random colored pixels) screen and a red led. Weird, if you ask me.
P.S.: Today I tried to chat with OP a bit - 230 Eur for a new MB (64GB) and 255 Eur for my 128GB version - I just wanted to know, I'm still not admitting failure though. But as a student, these numbers from the support literally hurt me when reading...

1) try to update the twrp to the official 3.1.1.0. Then flash the latest modem firmware for your device and try to flash a custom rom like lineage os (a 7.x rom)
If you connect the phone to PC in TWRP and your phone is not recognized, chances are good that either your phone's USB or the cable (or the USB port on the computer) is not working. You can try to download the adb driver installer from here, just to check if your phone is listed by the installer: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
Update - tried the MTP Enable/disable option in TWRP (in the Mount menu) while plugged into the PC, with no luck
IvanPrince - have you actually read the description of my problem? I have the 3.1.1-0 and even if not, how should I actually flash another version of twrp? The problem here is I cannot seem to find a WAY how to flash ANYTHING on the device.
I'll see about the adb drivers and update.
Thanks all,
Does the phone show up as anything on the PC when you boot to fastboot? I re-read but didn't see anything about it.
Nope - nothing. By now, I believe it is a hardware problem as the phone indeed got wet before my mistake with the advanced wipe. It appears to work just fine though, apart from the connectivity issue, so I believe the MB should be ok as everything else, including the screen is.
I just have one, perhaps a little courageous thing I'd like to ask from someone kind enough. Anyone with a Oneplus 3 or 3T who's not afraid to open the phone for a couplne minutes and has a multimeter alongside with a USB cable should be able to help me. :angel:
Could you, my awesome stranger, check where the 4 USB pins (on the side where you plug them into the PC) lead (make contact/'BEEP' on the multimeter) with the actual phone motherboard? It would REALLY help me in troubleshooting and perhaps saving 250 Eur. So far, I have this: (same color means contact) at that point. See picture.
BLACK - GND (all the heatsinks are connected to GROUND as well)
GREEN - DATA +
YELLOW - DATA -
RED - VCC
If anyone decides to open up their phone and help out a fellow xda guy, it will be greatly appriciated. :angel:
Hey Bro I was curious to know if you tried this method of recovering from a hard brick... When I first got my 3t something similar happened to me. I can't remember all the details of my hard brick but I thought I was f***ed. Please try this if you have not already.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306
Might be a dumb question, but you did remember to mount the USB when you connected the otg right?
If the bootloader is unlocked, you can save it.
I would flash the stock recovery and the latest factory image (4.1.7)
Download them both from here:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_4.1.7/
After flashing the stock recovery using fastboot, boot to stock recovery and sideload through ADB the stock factory image.
Reboot and after checking that everything is working fine, feel free to relock the bootloader if you wish to stay 100% stock.
If the computer doesn't recognize it at all then it's a driver problem, not the phone... at least that's what I think.
try to use the program to fix my oneplus 3t it said download complete. try to restart

please help me out
My problem is MTP won't stay, everytime I plug the device into my computer it's in charging mode an I'm unable to see folders in my internal storage. I have to go into developer setting an hit MTP mode even know it says it's already in it. Then I get folders to show but once I unplug the device an plug it back in it's back to the same charging only. This is causing issues with me being able to flash SU after I flash twrp. In twrp when I open sdcard it shows nothing ,which I believe it stems from the device not staying in MTP mode. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
