Samsung GT-I9008L
Regarding this phone, no explanation needed, experts will naturally understand. But I ran into some trouble. Now when I turn it on, it vibrates, then shows the G3 animation, then goes black for a moment, SAMSUNG appears, flickers, and then nothing happens. I looked it up on the phone and it said I need to flash the firmware, but I don't know how. I connected it to my friend's computer with a data cable and it showed hardware inserted, but I can't remember the name of the software used to flash it. After setting it up on the computer, the phone shows the data cable connection as off; it needs to be enabled on the phone to flash. But the main problem is the phone won't turn on. I don't know if any experts have run into this. Besides returning it to the place of purchase for repair, is there any way to get the phone to turn on? Please help. I might not have explained some parts clearly, feel free to ask me. I'm not asking to flash it, I just want it to turn on.

Did the original poster delete the only desktop? If you connect your phone to the computer to download Wandoujia, Wandoujia will automatically download the drivers, and once the drivers are downloaded, it will connect to the phone. Then you can just search for a desktop app yourself and install it. If that's not the case, then you can flash the phone using Flash Wizard, and of course, you can also do a card flash. I won't go into the specific methods, the original poster can look it up themselves.
I, while downloading data packets over WIFI when I was too idle, just quit. It happened several times. I won't dare next time.
The data cable cannot connect between the computer and the phone. You need to enable the connection on the phone, but the phone cannot be turned on.
Uh, the normal methods won't work, so just flash the firmware! It's simple and thorough, and there are plenty of one-click flashing software options.
That being said, if you have a brand-name device, it usually comes with a flashable package, and flashing it will never brick the device.
I don't have time to research, I'm a senior in high school. I suggest you go ask on forums related to your phone, start with the official ones first.
