Heimdall One Click Unbrick
Before we talk about “How to unbrick Samsung Android Phone”, let me clear something with all you guys, most of the people don’t know what a bricked phone actually is. A bricked phone means – your phone won’t turn on at all. A phone stuck in a boot loop or a phone that boots directly to recovery mode is not a bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked that means it won’t open at all, neither you can boot into the recovery mode nor into the download mode, you cannot unbrick it on your own. However if you are able to boot into recovery mode by using a USB jig, then there is a still hope that you can unbrick it.
Otherwise take it to some service centre to get it back to function. Your phone might stuck in a boot loop or every time it boots into recovery mode during Flashing a new ROM into your device or rooting your device in a wrong way. Usually Samsung phones are easy to root and are also easy to revive from boot loop, so if you are using Samsung Smart phone you got lucky. You can also refer to my other tutorial on “”. (PC needed).Let us assume that there are two states of a bricked phone – Soft Bricked Phone and Hard Bricked Phone.MUST READ- Soft Bricked Phone –Your device is unable to boot into Screen but every time it boots into recovery mode or is stuck on Samsung logo – that is your device is stuck into boot loop. You can easily unbrick a soft bricked phone by flashing a stock ROM or flashing a recovery file.
Hard Bricked Phone –As the name suggest your phone behaves like a brick, no operation can be done, not able to boot even in the recovery mode, no reaction on pressing the power button. You cannot unbrick a hard bricked device on your own, however if you are able to go to recovery mode using USB jig, then there is still a hope that you can unbrick it on your own, otherwise YOUR PHONE IS DEAD. You should contact to some service center.Samsung phones are so secured to root but if luck don’t favours you, your phone can misbehave or get bricked. In this post you will learn how to unbrick Samsung android phone. Hi Saransh, I have Note 3 N9005 h3g uk version running kitkat 4.4.2.I am in India. I tried Kingo root since it claims that it is one click and safe. However after going through some processes it says waiting for the device for about hour and phone is shut down and not rebooting.
They says it has not bricked any phone since it is only using an exploit. I am not sure if I should disconnect to see if it is bricked or has stuck to recovery mode. My question is if it is bricked how much does it costs to repair at the service center? Tried this and others still comes up and says: Custom binary clocked byFAP under that in small red letters it says SECURE FAIL; KERNEL. This is really strange as I had rooted it (as I do with all my phones.) (This one I used King Root) and it seemed to work fine, then one morning I turned it on and got this message, tried hard reset, wiped it, tried your remedy and still the same. Im an older man so I dont have tons of apps or silly facebook or other social networksvery strange guess I should have stuck with LG’s.
Hi SaranshFirstly, big up’s on your awesome blog, I sure have learnt a great deal thus far.I still however do have a problem with my Grand Neo GT-I9060I/DS. My phone powers up and stays on the boot up screen displaying “the Samsung logo powered by Android” with a red exclamation mark in the top left hand corner”.
I tried booting up the phone in recovery mode but fails to do so and boots up into the exact screen mentioned above. I am able to boot up the phone into download mode to connect it to the pc to use Odin but Odin doesnt identify the device and neither does windows. Windows picks up a device is connected but is unable to install its drivers. I have downloaded an array of Samsung and Android drivers in the hope of resolving the issue but the only progress Ive made is the device been shown in device manager with an exclamation mark and error “device is unable to start (Code 10). Unfortunately whilst the phone was working I tried rooting it and for some reason wasnt succeeding despite following all the neccessary steps in doing so and further more tried installing a zip file via CWM Rom Manager which was the last activity performed on the phone, the device rebooted and that was it.

Im not too sure whether this is considered a Hard Brick but I am certainly hoping you could possibly assist despite reading a plethora of blogs regarding resolving the issue and yours been the most likelyThanking you in advance. @Sebestian, don;t worry your phone is not hard brick. Hard brick is something that you can say if your phone doesn’t light up at all. As per your comment, your device has no problem booting into download mode. I’d recommend you to use some other USB cable. Note that, you have installed the latest Samsung USB drivers in your PC/laptop.First open Odin in your PC and connect your device to your PC and then try to boot your phone in download mode and then volume plus button to continue. Hopefully your device would be detected and then you flash whatever you want.Do notify me if this helps.
And you are always welcome @Sebestian. Hey Saransh,Ive tried every possible sequence and process there is but to no avail.
Ive installed various USB driver files trying to get Windows to pick up my device and connected it to approximately 16 USB ports with no luck. Windows seems to alternate the error codes on connecting the device on different USB ports from Code 10 to Code 43 (Device can-not start to Problems with device) I’ve connected and intentionally looped my J1acelte and was able to recover from bootloop. Ive soft bricked my Galaxy Tab 3 with no recovery mode boot available to the Tab and was able to flash a recovery rom and boot up my Tab but for some reason I am failing dismally with the Grand Neo Plus. Every attempt or effort results in the same end result, that is Windows not permitting the device into manager.
Not sure if this info might help but prior to the devices current state I was in Rom Manager v5.5.3 from the Install Zip from SD card menu, selected a zip file (gt-i9060I.zip) and was asked if I am sure I want to reboot into recovery mode to install the zip file, I selected yes and that was the last my device was operable. Immediately after the device booted down it got stuck where its at now with no sign of anything else.Thank you for taking the time to respond to my query, its greatly appreciated. Hi Saransh,I tried to put a custom rom on my Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon Model SCH-I605 running kitkat 4.4.2 after using Kingroot to root.
I now get a yellow exclamation point at boot that says System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help. I can get the phone into odin mode and have tried using it but it always comes back with Nand write fail. There is no recovery mode available after i messed rooting. I have a At&t Galaxy Note 2 that I took into a repair shop to be rooted & flash VRToxin 6.0.1 on it.
It was stuck on 4.4.2. After 3 weeks of getting the run around I received the phone back rooted but was told it couldn’t be done because the file was corrupt – loaded with viruses. Long and short the system was booted back to 4.1.1 & started to update.
I tried to stop the update by turning off my phone. Now I have the black screen with logo. Took it to Samsung and they told me I’m on my own. The phone is bricked w/o an operating system. Hello, I have a Samsung galaxy mega GT-I9200 that died unexpectedly during the night. When plugged in the blue LED was on.
The usb port/charging port has had some issues for a while, and I would have to move the cord “just right” in order for it to charge. I think there was a provider update during night and my phones battery died during this update, thus soft bricking my phone? After holding power, vol up and home keys, I would get the resting android pic that said “No Command”. After holding vol up and power until it vibrated once then releasing power(while still holding vol up, I entered the screen with the yellow triangle, which allowed me to enter “Odin mode”, and it says “downloading, do not turn off target!” I got a new cheap phone to use while I tried to fix this one, so it doesn’t have service currently. I have Samsung Kies on my PC. Can I use Kies to reinstall the firmware, or do I need to use Odin?
I would like to keep my files, but its not completely necessary. Id rather have my phone working again!Thanks in advance 🙂 🙂. Hi Karim, I completely understood your problem. As you already said that your phone turned off during the installation of the update.
