Don't worry, it's not ruined. The package you're working with does not contain bootloaders.
Unplug the phone, pull the battery, and close Odin.
Then start it over again. There's a chance the file you're using is corrupt and needs to be redownloaded.
Not really sure why you're using Odin to flash a kernel. That will trip the flash counter. Creepyncrawly posted an awesome write up how to flash without tripping the counter.
And he today posted a collection of newer ways to root that also don't involve tripping the flash counter.

Stuck on flashing to stock with Odin

Hi, so i downloaded the version for my phone
GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXKH3_I9100XXKH3_I9100OXAKH3.
I wiped factory/data reset, system something and dalvik cache.
I used odin to flash ticking only the PDA,
but it stuck for like 1 hour on this stage:<ID:0/012> factoryfs.img
Both the loading bar on the phone and on odin are on the same level.
Here is the full Message:

Did you by chance check repartition? If so I think you may be in trouble.
Nope, i checked like 4 times before i clicked start, and i can see it now,
I didnt ticked Repartition...

Okay well there may be hope. Pull the battery and then use the button combo to see if you can get to download mode if you can then I suggest you restart your PC and make sure your using a UBS connection that is on the back of your PC, do not use any USB hubs or front usb connections. Also make sure kies in not running in the back round as it can interfere with the USB connections.
I made a backup with Cwk so i hope nothing will go wrong...
I pulled the battery, and i got to download mode, but odin doesnt seem
to recognize the phone...
Edit: i just noticed on processes, that kies Was running...
but Odin doesnt recognize the phone now...
Edit2: Odin managed to recognize the phone, so i started the process again...

Well as long as you can get to download mode there is hope. Maybe try a different firmware package.
Are you using the Samsung USB cable or the HTC one?
Successful!!
I just tried it again and it worked!
Thanks alot everyone, especially the one who told me to check
if kies was running
Hi, I been stuck on cache.img for hours (i left it overnight) kies isnt running in the background and i tried many times, im trying to flash XWKI4.
I came across this post and im using a HTC cable to connect, is this a problem??
Edit: Kies really messed up my phone it kept failing on firmware upgrade, asked me to do firmware emergency but that wasnt working either, eventually the firmware upgrade worked BUT the phone doesn't recognise my SIM card so i want to reflash in ODIN

Tell me about it, kies is useless.
I tried another firmware but thats stuck on boot.bin right now, i have to travel 2hrs to get my samsung cable!! no idea what to do now..phone doesn't start (says do an emergency recovery). Thinking of going to service centre, i know I haven't void my warranty.
. Thinking of going to service centre, i know I haven't void my warranty.
ROOT = warranty void .Custom rom = void warranty
So if you have neither you are ok if not you need to flash stock rom to unroot and set rom counter to zero with USB jig .

Odin rooting troubles

Alright, so sorry if this has already been mentioned before, but I am just tired of googling around threads for an answers so I'm resorting to the Q&A. So I've just picked up a Bell Samsung Galaxy S II and have tried to use a tutorial off of http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...lock-root-bell-galaxy-s2-step-step-guide.html. Generally I have worked with rooting many htc devices but the SSGS2 was my first samsung device which is new grounds to me so I'm not really sure what to do about this problem. Everything goes fine until I reach the part where I have to root the phone with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4. Whenever I try to root it, Odin gives <ID:0/006> Added!!

I've had the same trouble with cf root kk2. Stuck on Zimage. I've rooted before with this, but this file is giving me trouble. Can't figure it out yet. Tried downloading the file again from chainfires thread. I'll figure it out sometime after christmas I guess.

i think u are in big trouble. better marry your girlfriend so she can't break up with u. she will be very upset and kick your ass. better find a phone service right away before she comes home.
if it is her phone and not yours why bothering to flash?
if u cannot go in download mod try to get an usb Jig
Nevermind. OP can get into DL mode, fix should be fairly simple.

Wont boot, probably softbricked

I had a S2 i777, then I got a S3 so I gave the S2 to my mother. I just installed fresh ShoStock because I thought that would work well. It worked ok, but after about a month I came home and she said it wasnt working.
It appeared to be bootlooping at the ShoStock logo. I downloaded a new rom for it on my phone the put the SD card in her phone, booted into clockwork and tried flashing it. Trying to wipe or flash at all results in hanging for a few minutes then rebooting and getting stuck at the Samsung S2 logo now. Since then I've tried various odin methods for flashing to unbrick around xda. Every time I try to flash with odin, it either says error or it just hangs until I manually stop it after 30+ minutes. I've even got as desperate as to have Kies revert it to stock, it also hangs at 2%.
At this moment, you can see the screen its stuck it in the attached screenshot, its probably worth noting its been at this screen ever since the first Odin flash failed.
I do have a microUSB jig so I can kick it into download mode if I have to. Anyone got any ideas :f
Try the following procedure exactly as written. In case the problem is nand read/write corruption, this should clear it and get the phone working again.
1) Go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
2) Successful? Nice. Next, flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning.
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.
When I try and flash Siyah in Odin for step 1, it just hangs.

The box at the top says kernel and the progress bar goes all the way across, it will never get past this.
Since it won't flash the kernel, the next thing to suspect and try to find out if the cable is faulty. Or anything in the path from the computer to the phone. So...
Try a different cable, or as many different cables as you can put your hands on.
Try different ports on the computer, and use the ones attached directly to the motherboard if it is a desktop.
Try a different computer.
In some cases where there is a connection problem, just flashing repeatedly may eventually result in a pass, as some have reported.
Tried it on two different laptops, with three different microUSB cables on each, no dice.
I tried flashing the kernel from step one you gave, I also tried the I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click from the Download Repository and it hangs at:

I don't have any additional suggestions for trying to fix it yourself. The problem could be one of several things. It doesn't seem like a simple soft brick. Maybe it could be damaged memory or some other hardware failure. Or maybe not.
If you are close to an AT&T service center, maybe you could take it by and ask them to flash it back to stock for you. If that fails, then at least you are pretty sure the problem is in the phone, not the connection. I realize it is not under warranty any longer, but they should at least try that for you.
You could send it to Samsung repair center to be worked on. They would probably fix it, but it won't be free, and it will also take two to three weeks. If it were me, I would call them first and discuss the issue with them.
Give these guys a call or message them and tell them your problem and they can most likely fix it. I have had work done by them in the past there quick and there professional...

Trying to flash to stock firmware in Odin, NAND write fails?

As the title states, I am currently trying to flash my phone back to stock to fix a soft brick. I was trying to get the latest update since I was on a custom ROM and couldn't get the OTA. I got the firmware from Sammobile, from what I understand to be a reputable place to get them. The flash in Odin seemed to go normally until it had the phone restart, It is now is a loop of flashing the "Galaxy Note II" screen. And I had CWM installed, but I cannot get to the recovery with it in this loop.
Yes, I have read the sticky before posting this. I am doing the only recommended thing I can find to do for this sort problem, flash it back to stock. I have the stock firmware, directly from the link in the sticky, and when I go to start it on Odin this is what I get:

Is there something I'm missing/doing wrong? I have installed a few ROMs before, but I am fairly new to using Odin and flashing the firmware.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this
Thank you!
Hi,
Hope you used pit file in odin along with rom file. Also, do a factory reset after successful odin.

Yep, I believe that was the problem. I didn't know it needed the PIT for this.
The phone lives again, but it's strange. The flash was almost done, got to the sboot, and failed. My phone had "unsupported version" in red on the Odin screen. I rebooted the phone, it went to the android update screen, and now it is working like it did before all this.
Now the question is, why did the 4.3 firmware send it into a boot loop? Is the file on Sammobile the right one? Would it be better to just get my phone back to stock with a stock recovery, and get the update OTA?
It is possible that the usb port I used was bad, I seriously need to remember not to use the front ports for something like this...
I need to read up more on this so I don't screw it up next time.

It is important to note that if you take the OTA, it WILL relock your bootloader. This means no custom recovery and no custom ROMs.
