[HELP] Reviving Samsung J2 Prime from DEAD-BOOT without disassembly the phone

[Ken Adi]

Help sir,

I did a big mistake last night by odin-flashing my SM-G532G J2 Prime.
Before flash, it ran normal, without any known issues.
But, I got my hand itchy, to download it's official firmware, SM-G532G_20161209_G532GDXU1APL1_G532GDXU1APK3_6.0.1.

I use Odin 3.10.7 as flasher with original usb cable and run from Windows 7 Pro 64bits OS.
My odin-flashing config are:
BL:BL_G532GDXU1APL1_CL9387420_QB11825614_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
AP:AP_G532GDXU1APL1_CL9387420_QB11825614_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP:CP_G532GDXU1APK3_CL9387420_QB11574326_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC:CSC_OLE_G532GOLE1APK3_CL9387420_QB11578567_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

and the result is a totally DEAD phone.
It just dont "breath", someone says it is in DEAD-BOOT condition.
No more "device-connected" sound from Windows 7 when I connect it to my PC.
I've tried special usb "download-mode" cable, but still no response from that phone.

I know it can be revived with some good flasher-box, that can reprogram the emmc with wire soldering.
That's not what I want, since my J2 Prime still in warranty priode.
Taking to official Samsung service Center is that last choice.

Now I still want to try re-flashing/reviving the phone by myself.

Please if anyone here knows, is there any "secret" keys press or combinations or tricks that can make my Windows PC recognized this phone again for re-flashing via odin?

Thanks and forgive me for my bad english..

Welcome to the forums. I don't think you have much choice. You would either need to get a JTAG device to force a ROM onto the phone, or if the phone can get back into download mode, you need to try flashing a ROM again.

What happened while the phone was being flashed? Did the cord go unplugged, the PC went to sleep, etc?

Thanks for quick reply sir.

The phone flashed without any interruption at all.
I never tought to get in this situation with common normal-official-standard-procedure flashing... and result in a DEAD-BOOT phone.. OMG!

The problem, it is, how to get a single "ding" device-connected sound from my PC, and sure I can get it back alive.

May be I found my mistake.. Just maybe..

If we use odin 3.12.xx there is a warning to use HOME_CSC file as CSC part.
so if that true, it must use :

CSC:HOME_CSC_OLE_G532GOLE1APK3_CL9387420_QB11578567_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5

But I'm not sure either..

Ok then, Samsung Service Center is worth to visit..

Thanks guys..

Sorry about the delay. I was really busy yesterday. I don't recall hearing a connect tone when connecting my Note to my PC in Download mode. If you connect and get a COM in the connection box for Odin, it should take a file to flash.
