Hello folks,
I have a Gear 2 Neo that I had connected to my Galaxy S5 until recently. I got an S8 and wanted to sync my watch to this phone. I downloaded the Gear app on my new phone, but it suggested that since I could not see my watch, that I factory reset it in order to disconnect fully from my old app.
I went into the options on the watch, and did a factory reset. I get the Gear 2 Neo logo, I get the colorful Samsung logo, after this it will boot to a black screen. When I plug the watch in, I get a bluetooth icon and battery icon showing current charge.
I am able to hold down the power button and reboot. I am able to get into download mode, or attempt another wipe.
I have tried connecting via Odin v3.09/3.12 but it does not recognize the device is connected, and Kies does not seem to understand my model number. Without these two options I am a bit stuck. I tried creating an account on sammobile for firmware, but can never download due to some weird login loop. I am familiar with root, Odin, etc. but I am stumped.
Can someone provide me some direction?
Thanks a million.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That would probably mean the battery doesn't have enough juice in it, so you have to charge the device a little while.
After a couple of minutes, go to download mode (power + volume down while the Tab is powered off and not plugged in). You will see a yellow sign with an exclamation mark (!). You should be able to use Odin after you plugged in the Tab.
Been trying all-day. Nothing works all I get is the battery logo . I just can't get odin to see it

I have a standard s4 with no custom mods, roots, or anything, I was playing with Go Locker and the other go facilities and after about an hour I decided I prefer TouchWiz, so I went through and uninstalled all the go stuff, one of them came with a popup and said "this application is a device administrator, deactivate..." I can't remember the rest, then the phone restarted, showed Samsung Galaxy S4, and goes to the glowing samsung name, and it sits there and does nothing, I've waited and nothing happens, I held volume down and home as it was booting and it acted as if it was plugged in to a computer, and everytime i turn it off by holding the powerbutton it turns itself on and does the same thing
please help im not very good with these android and it's just been one problem after another

Just move it onto your PC?
I tried to fix the google play store error by using the steps provided online (that seemed to work for most people) and now my phone will not boot past the initial galaxy screen. The screen goes blank and then I see a solid blue LED light at the top left of the phone.
I would like to know if backing up files at this point is possible, because I'm assuming the only true fix is a factory reset.
I was told that android has a built in fail-safe that would still allow me to access the files through a PC via USB. That has not worked for me. My computer shows nothing.
I've tried booting in safe mode, tapping the menu button doesn't do anything.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I'm ok with performing a factory reset, I'd just like to back up images and audio files before doing so.
Thanks
If you indeed have an S4 and not the S4 Active, you are in the wrong forum.
Hey guys.. I have a problem with my phone here's the story of what happened & what I have done so far:
I was using my phone normally and it suddenly turned off at around 30% battery (my battery is in a pretty bad state and I do know I have to replace it) but after leaving the phone charging for a bit and then turning it on it goes to the initial logo that says 'Samsung GALAXY S III Mini" and the phone doesn't go past it, it restarts infinitely and won't go past the inital logo, not even to the part where it shows up an animated blue samsung logo, I've tried infinite times doing volume-up + home button + power button and it doesn't go to the system recovery mode, it just doesn't go past the samsung SIII logo, so I've tried installing 3 different firmwares that are supposed to work through odin (Yes, the phone does boot to download mode with odin once you press volume down + home + power, but not recovery) and all of them have the same problem, it gets to the initial logo and restart infinitely, I haven't messed with the odin options (so the default 2 have always been checked), don't know what they do and every place I check out says to not mess with these options so I haven't touched them yet, anyways, today I went to a local store and informed about my problem with the phone, they tried a new battery (just for test, didn't buy) and the phone still has the same problem, they told me I can leave it there and that they'll fix it within 1 day but I don't have the money for it right now... so that's about all I've done thus far.. what do you guys recommend me to do?
Im a newb about this stuff on installing OS/Firmware/whatever on mobile devices (never done this stuff before, only doing this because my phone has this problem) so if you're gonna tell me something please include some steps on what I should be doing!
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
i had a Galaxy Note N 7000 rooted with Cyanogenmod. It worked for a couple of months, but then it just turned off while i was using it. I could reboot, but it was stuck at a screen with a battery logo and a gray circle in the middle. I could only access Download Mode, everything else wasn't possible. So after i searched around a bit i figured out, that i should factory reset with Odin. Did that, nothing changed, still the same problem. I tried using a different .pit file, and so on. Still no change. The only thing that changed during the factory resets, was that an android logo with this blue thing in the middle showed up for like one second and then it changed back to the battery logo. This happens every minute or so. The device also only powers on, if connected to a pc or charger.
So is there anything i could do to get it working again?
