reboot into recovery mode and press menu. then re-try to flash your phone.

corolla90

odin shows phone is connected and i hit start all it show is setup connection and that it it doen't do anything it just sits there like that.

corolla90

j0hnh0lmes

If you mail it to me I'll "attempt" to fix it. I can not guarantee you didn't brick it. PM me if you want and I'll give you my addie.

Edit: I can cover shipping back to you (I work for a shipping company) and won't charge.

corolla90

ok that sounds good, all u need it the phone? its charged, the other thing i was wondering is could it be a bad usb cord? i got go the cord from my dad it went to another phone it a cheap looking one cuz when i plugged the phone to the computer with it to transfer stuff to the memory card it went nuts when i clicked on the memory card i havent even gotten to use the phone yet cuz im waiting for unlock code to use it with att, but ill pm you thanx

j0hnh0lmes

No worries. All I need is the phone & the sd card if you want anything special done. I have cords & chargers so no worries about anything else. PM sent.

FriedBunny

I encountered this exact problem myself... and still haven't found a fix for it, unfortunately. Even share the 5% thing, bizarre.

Good luck, corolla!

j0hnh0lmes

Pm me if you want me to look @ your phone also.

corolla90

hopefuly he can get mine going again

FriedBunny

Aye, I definitely hope you're able to figure out a way to properly flash corolla's, j0hnh0lmes. Thanks for the offer, but I'm still fiddling with mine off and on as a hobby - it's not my main phone or anything. Do post back on your progress, though!

j0hnh0lmes

Fixed. I'll mail it back tomorrow.

corolla90

thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to use it! lol

FriedBunny

Amazing, good job! Inquiring minds want to know: anything special required, or was it just that easy?

j0hnh0lmes

Well it wasn't a usual flash job if that's what your asking. It took me about 30 min to get it working again.

If you want me to fix yours just shoot me a PM.

FriedBunny, your phone has also been fixed. You can usually get a new screen (digitizer) on ebay for around $20.

FriedBunny

That's amazing, frankly - thanks! Indeed, I've been eying a new digitizer for a while and now you've given me a reason to actually invest in one.

So how do we avoid this happening to our phones again in the future? It appears I missed something in the Odin flashing, but I've no idea what...

j0hnh0lmes

Well, honestly you & corolla90 did something totally different than the other. I think his was just a cable issue. It could be the same for both, just became a problem @ different times of the flashing. It's hard to say without looking @ the file system which I didn't really have time to look @ due to my brother being a dumb ass (long story, he lives several states away).


Tracking # has been Pm'd.



Anyone else need help with their phone while I'm on a roll?

my phone is also stuck on the 5% and i cant get into recovery mode or download mode. can someone help ?

acseazzu

Are you using the stock cable?

j0hnh0lmes

As I've offered to many people. I'll (attempt) to fix your phone but you have to cover shipping both ways.

jerkwagon

so will you care to tell anyone what you did to fix it? or are you still charging for this info?

j0hnh0lmes

I don't charge for info. I just require people to cover shipping to me to fix the phone (If you can't do it yourself.) There are several thread here explaining how to flash a rom.
