already tried that

Try http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HKRP4FCH i personally use this flash when customer brings the brick phone or pattern lock to bring it back to stock

if that doesn't work I would give one click unbrick and Heimdall a shot. Can you get the phone into download mode? If not might have to buy a JIG or send it off.

when you say JIG i suppose you mean JTAG.. he can already get into dl mode

Odin to JFD again - just make sure its JFD and click repartition.

Can you get it back into Download mode so you can re-flash firmware?
Why did you flash the pit in the first place? (All tutorials tell you not to do this)
If you cant get it to boot into anything (download or recovery) then I don't know if its possible to restore it...
You might also want to try taking the battery out and putting it back in again if you havent already
You install the wrong pit file .?????
What instructions are you following .
jje
It is possible to repartition but you would need the proper set of files that support it.
If i'm right (not sure though) you can do it with a set that contain the "_user_low_ship" in the pda name.
The download on samfirmware of the I9100XWKF1 does have this, containing odin 1.85, a 3 set for pda, modem and csc, and pit file.

Thats a partition and ROM for the original galaxy S...
Can you get back to download to flash one for the GSII?
You can download the .PIT from here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm
Also update Odin to 1.83

It's useless now because the phone is dead. I can't enter download or recovery mode. I can't turn it on or charge it...
What can I do now ? I guess it's not possible to be completely broken

Send it for a repair and hope it won't be a too costly one or the repair guys cannot turn it on either to find out you tried to flash a SGS firmware on it. Also Odin is now going in version 1.8x so you should update your flashing software too.

Someone from another board told me to try with an USB JIG to start in download mode... Do you guy think it could work this way since I can't turn on my phone in any way ?
Yes you can use a jig check this out

The JIGs are like £4 on ebay, so its worth a try, and if it doesnt work then you can sell it on or something.
USB jig any Odin should work flash stock firmware but follow instructions to the letter and read what you are doing first .
jjue
Good luck with the jig hopefully it will work and you can get your phone working again.
I am amazed it let you flash it as well being a totally different ROM!
Take the battery out then press and hold the power key for 10 seconds.
then press and hold home and vol down, do not let go of the keys while doing below
then insert the USB cable
then insert the battery
Does it now go into download mode and get recognised by the PC?
I went to a phone service and the guy there told me that the boot loader was completely erased, everything...there's nothing...

If the bootloader is gone then you would need special equipement to repair.
Sorry to say this but if there is no way to load the bootloader from sdcard or something then you are screwed.

[Q] USB jig not working

Me and my fiance both have Samsung gs2's, both rooted the same way using the same rom. I bought a USB jig to reserved the counter and it worked fine on my phone but when I tried to use it on hers it wouldn't clear the custom counter. And the top of the screen in download mode it says odin mode on my phone but on hers it says factory mode. Could that be the reason it's not letting me reset the counter? If so how do I get hers to say Odin mode?
Thanks Adam

Thank you very much. I'll try that when I get a chance to. I'll report back later. And also, I did try a search but I wasn't sure if there were different boot loaders for different firmwares. So I didn't want to make the problems worse. So that's why I asked..

Sorry to bump this thread, but I thought it better than creating a new one!
I've just bought a USB jig and encountered the same issue ('Factory Mode', etc). I figured that I may have to flash the old bootloader to get it to work, but I've got a couple of questions first...
1) Does it matter what bootloader I use? I'm currently running ICS 4.0.3 (the XXLPB leak).
2) What are the differences between flashing it via 'bootloader' and 'PDA'?
3) What are the odds of bricking my phone? I've read that bootloaders are what cause most issues.
4) Do I need to re-flash my current bootloader (wherever I'd find that) or will my phone run the same/differently with the old one?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help. Still a bit new to all this!

If you can't find it on Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.net or Samsung-updates.com, you probably won't find it at all.

[Q] Heeelp, I think I broke it, Stuck on ATT logo.

I was going to put my Note back to factory, so I was about to flash a stock rom. But my dumb a$$ didn't pay attention and I opened the Skyrocket folder, and flash the stock Odin, but for the skyrocket on my Note. Now I tried to put back the Note one, but my device doesnt boot up, it stays at the ATT white "rethink possible" screen. and is looping there. Do you guys think there is no solution?
I dont see why it wont boot up if youre able to use odin to flash the note stock tar.

How do I check that? I work with Odin all the time, but never had to do anything than flashing roms the regular way. Can you give me more specifics? I'll appreciate it.

[Q] Question about returning phone

Hey guys I need to return my phone to be fixed, but have a slight problem. The firmware is all stock except for when it boots up it says it is a GT-I9100. This is left from a previous flash that I did, but I went back to stock and never bothered to fix that, because it didn't really bug me. Now my phone won't recognize a charger or any usb plugs. My question is will Samsung/AT&T still accept my phone for replacement with this? If not is there anyway I can fix the boot screen without plugging my phone in? Thanks guys sorry for the noob question, but I am not really sure what to do and this is kind of a specific problem, so I couldn't find anything in the search. Once again really appreciate any help!

No, don't do that.
You can either use Mobile Odin to remove it, or do a complete Return to Stock using Odin.

You're absolutely right. For some reason I thought you were stock rooted...my mistake. Use my second option then.
As long as you root it, you can use Mobile Odin. Not like it matters anyway, you just need to get rid of the GT-I9100 and then flash back to stock again, thus eliminating root.
Did Odin one-click back to stock not work for you? Because it sounds like you might have flashed I9100 bootloaders and flashing I777 bootloaders should fix it (which if I'm not mkstaken, the one click does include). Someone correct me on both points if I'm wrong , I'm simply conjecturing.

Yea I tried this, didn't work. I could probably get it into download mode, if I borrowed someones battery, but I am not sure why that matters if the computer won't detect it.
I finally got my phone to connect after cleaning it for like an hour, I just have to hold it at a certain angle. Everytime I try and flash the bootloader I get a fail though, I am using odin 1.8.5 and the bootloader here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199. After it fails I have to reflash using the one click no bootloader here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18859438&postcount=199. Is there any one click with the stock bootloaders someone could please link me to? Thanks once again guys
Both links appear to be the same.
Anyway, why would you flash the bootloader?

That was my suggestion, I thought it might be an I9100 bootloader that he flashed which causes the GT-I 9100 to show up on boot, and he wants it back at stock for returning. Again I could be wrong, and of course flashing bootloaders is very dangerous, especially with your faulty USB connection (I didn't know it was faulty when I posted before).
EDIT: Did you ever try rooting so you can go the Mobile Odin route (which would be much safer)?

Since your USB connection is buggy, and since flashing bootloaders is really dangerous anyway, I'd try this instead. If it doesn't help, let us know.

This first, please. This will tell you which bootloader you currently have.
If the usb connection is lost while the bootloader is flashing, the phone will hard brik, and will require jtag repair to recover, which costs about $50 to $60. Therefore, it is necessary to know what the phone status really is before taking that risk.
If you determine that you really do have the I9100 secondary bootloader, then you put the I777 UCKH7 sbl.tar in the PDA slot of Odin3 v1.85. Or you could flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click Downloader which includes the param.lfs and the secondary bootloader.
Mobile Odin will not flash bootloaders or param.lfs

Whenever I try to do this with odin it fails . I think I just need the one click with bootloaders, but I can't find it.

S3 probably Hard bricked

I have a GT-19300 with Stock Sammy 4.1.3 Rom with Siyah Kernel. So basically i use the siyah recovery as the main recovery. I booted up into recovery and just plainly explored through the options without doing anything! Then I just threw my phone on the bed after restarting it and went away to get water, when i came back it went into some mode which was similar to download mode but showed something like flashing from sd( I dont exactly remember) and also it showed that it was completed, I took out the battery and tried to turn it on but it didn't, also tried charging it. HELP!

No that will work you will either get download mode or not and is worth a try at the price .
It will not reset rom counter on S3/
thanks i'll try to go to the service center as well, in case i need to replace the motherboard how much will it cost?
About 1/3 to 1/2 of the original phone cost.
