Hey I was hoping you guys could help me....
I had a corrupt mbr, so I put my phone in download mode, opened odin, ticked repartition, and loaded the pit file.
I flashed, and everything succeeded.
I pulled the battery to go back to download mode, and flash the rest of the rom, and now the phone is DEAD... like dead. Black screen. No boot screen. Nothing
I have tried vol down and battery in, vol up + down and power, basically every combination I can think of.
Any ideas?
Fixed:
Battery out for 5 mins, different usb port and try again. Back in download mode....
Hi Everyone,
Need help with my I9100 which doesn't boot. I got this phone yesterday and was using it fine. Today i installed Kies and it prompted to upgrade firmware. I researched and found that it had improvements in battery life and decided to go for it. It downloaded the firmware and everything went fine until it prompted saying firmware upgrade failed and asked me to do firmware emergency recovery.
I googled to see more info regarding this error and couldnt get much information. Decided to go ahead with recovery as instructed. Again i got error " Firmware emergency recovery stopped due to GT-I9199 error". If the problem persistes please contact samsung service center.
Please suggest if this is recoverable error and any links to proceed and have a working phone.
Currently when i power on, i get a logo of phone connected to PC with yellow bang in middle. Any pointers much appreciated....
Thanks.
Don't worry, I think you can fix this yourself using ODIN. I mean, flash a custom rom through Download mode. (Turn the phone off, hold Volume Down + Home + Power for 4 seconds)
In this mode you can flash any kind of rom without doing your phone any harm. Just go to the Rom Development forum and choose your rom. I suggest Lightning Rom, because it uses ODIN, and has a very well-explained tutorial.
You can also flash a stock rom, you can get it from the Stock Rom thread, and flash that through ODIN.
Or get it fixed by Samsung and wait two weeks. (where they use exactly the same program, ODIN, to reflash the stock rom)
Look here
And here
And finally here
If all that doesn't work, take it back to samsung.
Also, KIES is a PoS, use Odin in future
Yep, KIES may look all official and reliable, but it actually seems to brick some SGS2's.
Thanks for the info's. Will try them and update soon.
No luck. I tried multiple times to update ROM using ODIN in download mode. Everytime it says NAND write operation failed and comes out. I am searching to see if any other option left before i take it back to samsung
Don't forget to try it with a different computer. Sometimes it's not the phone, it's the PC or the USB port.
Also, you can try flashing with Heimdall instead of Odin.
First of all;
Yellow triangle means you are running custom kernel/rom.
Press home+volume down and then power, to get into download mode , on your phone. If that works, take battery out, to stop it.
Go to:
Samfirmware.com
Download firmware from there. It is a rar file, I think. Open rar file to see what is in. 5 files? The biggest file has all of the other files in it.
Install via Odin. Select pda in Odin and select the biggest file from the rar.
Put your phone into download mode, connect usb and run Odin.

Make sure that all kies processes are closed or odin will fail.

You can buy a usb jig, specially designed to put you phone into download mode. Search for it on ebay. Take the battery out, plug in usb jig, replace battery and it should boot into download mode. If it does not, then the phone is dead.

Had this same problem recently. What I did was try to put it in download mode again by holding the up and down volume keys and plugging in the cable, it would show up as the icon as you mentioned but the computer would recognize it to be in download mode. I would then use odin like normal. Are you sure you are using the correct .pit and .pda file just in case?

Use this to go to download mode and flash with Odin again.

So here's the rundown:
I bought a tmobile vibrant and tried to root it to install cyanogen mod. I tried to install the update.zip package to root it but it kept failing.
It turns out it was because it had that 3e recovery that won't install non-signed zips.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Phone froze for 5 minutes so I unplugged it and pulled battery. Guess what? Wouldn't boot after that.
I can still get into download mode by holding down volume up+down and putting in the battery while it's connected to the computer.
Before I had the orange error screen with the connect phone to PC symbol.
I Odin'd with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087
Now the phone is in a bootloop going from the battery symbol with the buffer to vibrant screen.
I've tried all the different ways and orders of connecting it to Odin and I can't get it to work. It'll say pass every time but it gets stuck in a bootloop.
I'm all out of ideas and I don't understand where it's going wrong. If anyone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it.
