Help softbricked a Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

Hi,

I just tried to install the CWM recovery on a Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 using Odin 4.42 and cwm-recovery file found on droidthunder. The process failed (it took ages but the process never stopped) and now the only functionality left is the download mode, even the recovery mode is broken. When trying to standard boot or to enter recovery mode the screen only shows a computer symbol and a mobile symbol and a broken connection between them. I tried several tipps and tricks (using odin, heimdall and a java one-click tool - forgot the name) but up to now nothing helped: all processes fail with unspecific messages or nothing happens.

Maybe someone has another tool suggestion or a hardcore solution like 'take this file and dd to address XXX'?

Thanks in advance. Cheers, doridan
 
Hello and welcome to the forums . you still have download mode that is working . do your Odin see the device . what I am asking is does the Odin see the device hookup USB with oops or what shows

Hi BRAINZ2014,

thanks for your reply. I will try to get access to another windows computer (only Linux and MacOS available currently). If 1 (COM 9) is bad, what would be a good setting?

Thanks again for your help!

P.S.: I'm sorry, but I must leave now. Must get up early tomorrow.
