Please help!
I've tried going through all the forums as well as searching online but I'm unable to recover my phone. At this point, I'm not sure if my phone is soft bricked or if there is a power button failure, or both. I was initially having problems with the phone restarting by itself every so often. As time went on, the restarting problem became more frequent. Finally, it got stuck on the cyanogenmod loading screen.
I tried going into recovery mode to install a new version of cyanogenmod but a quarter of the way through the installation, the phone rebooting itself. Tried to install it again with the same results, this time the phone rebooting right after I began the install. Finally, I tried to wipe Dalvik Cache and data. Now, I'm unable to even get into recovery mode. I'm only able to get into download mode.
From download mode, I attempted to use Odins versions (1.85, 3.04, 3.07 & 3.09) to try to reinstall a stock mod. Unfortunately, I keep getting stuck on "nand write start!" No matter how long I wait, it stays there and I have to remove the battery from the phone to continue the process over again. It doesn't matter what firmware I try to install, or whether it be just trying to install twrp it always hangs on "nand write start!"
As a last resort, I attempted to use a pit file in addition to a stock rom. This time, I get the following error on my phone: "secure check fail : pit"
My phone displays the following when going through Odin and using the pit file:
Odin Mode
Product Name: SGH-T999
Custom Binary Download: Yes (3 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT
What does Qualcomm Secureboot: Enable mean? Could it be a hardware problem, motherboard, faulty power button causing this? Or software?
PLEASE HELP! Thanks so much in advance.
