YOU SHOULD HAVE POSTED INTO THE Q&A FORUM!!
Yes, you did broke your phone.
I think it will have to be sent back to Samsung, and you will probably have to pay for it to get a JTAG flash.
If you can get your phone into the Download mode (maybe with a download USB Jig), all will be well. But I think you have destroyed that...
Sorry, I don't think there is anything we can do...

You can't be serious?.......
Edit- OK you guys said what I wanted to say.
A moment of silence for a fallen Android.

Ooooooooh i see.......
Only one thing can kill a phone : deplugging it when flashing....!!!
sorry, but nothing to do.
Your phone is dead...
Can you boot into recovery?

Why don't you try ordering a JIG on ebay ?
It should be working on a bricked SGS2
For more information:
www . ebay . com/itm/Samsung-i9100-Galaxy-S-II-Download-mode-USB-Dongle-Jig-/250935834611?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item3a6cf0f7f3

Are you sure you haven't completely broken it?
Take out battery, refit.
Volume down + power, does this take you to the warning before you go to the download screen?
Hanging on the galaxy s2 screen usually means that you can recover something.
Failing all of that, it's two days old, take it back and say it's faulty. I very much doubt the shop is going to suss you tried to flash a rom.

1) i can`t get to any menue , not recovery , not downloading menu .
2) phone will not powerUP
3)is not ready for trash it can be restored using a riff box jag , i need to find one here in romania . i got guy in usa who can flash my dead body android phone , but will cost me a lot .
tomorrow i will try to make home jig and see if he will wakeup if not , i will do my best to find a gsm service who owns a RiffBox to flash my phone !
thanks

Just a thought - if it not power up, make sure you leave it plugged in on CHARGE ! For a couple of hours.
Then use the Jig !
I cannot believe you unplugged it at FLASH - THAT'S RULE NUMBER ONE MY FRIEND. NEVER !
It seems as though you like to rush things, Take your time and Read first !
I hope you bring life back into it - good luck.

i did unplaged the usb cable because i wanted to take off the external hd , but i got the rong cable

Never ever unplug your phone during flashing.

Some people are just natural born Iphone material.

I'm pretty sure you shouldn't flash a pit file too. Maybe I read wrong.

Yes I thought he may have been a troll when I saw that too....

I do feel sorry for you as the disconnection during the flash appears to have been a genuine mistake, but PLEASE thoroughly understand what you are doing next time before you even attempt to flash your phone!
Good luck with the repairs.

Good Luck with a RiffBox, my friend had similar issue also, did a buubuu on similar procedure. Gave him my JTAG USB got it off ebay, that does not work. My other friend have a RiffBox and Riff JTAG Box, Both didnt work at all. So He just gave up, we went Sky Diving the other day, he just drop it, and BOOM Splatter to Pieces...now that Gorilla Glass is in pieces FINALLY.
I would just bring it back to Shop, and try returning it, unless you are saying Romania have a No Return Policy?!

[Q] HELP please I think ive bricked my SGS 2

Evening guys.
As the title says I think ive bricked my phone. I was in the process of doing the upgrade to ICS and Odin froze now when i try to turn the phone on all i get is " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again "
If i turn on Kies and connect the phone nothing happens ( well apart from the usual Beep as it connects ). If i connect the phone then start Kies again nothing happens. If i do the Vol down + home + power i get the normal screen but then nothing if i retry to flash it just hangs there.
In the messages screen it gets to

just FYI i did use the search function but as i did not know it was called a " soft brick " nothing came up!..I read the sticky and downloaded the files but as I stated in the OP the phone would just hang there and not Flash!!!
Actually it turned out to be something else...for some reason the USB cable went tits up...as soon as I used a different cable ( when i found it ) it worked.

Odin stucks at NAND Write Start

Hi there!
First...sorry for my bad english:
My S2 was on Hydrogen-ics rom...a few minutes ago i decide to go back to stock. Factory Reset, Cache/Dalvik cache cleared, format /system...all done then I started Odin and choose PDA -> I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5 (its from samfirmware)
...everything was OK, then i reboot and flashed siyah kernel (v2.6) via Odin (PDA). Reboot again...everything was ok...
So I decided to go to checkrom. Reboot -> CWM -> Factory Reset ..and here something goes wrong..it stucked at wipe data or wipe cache (doesn't know exactly) after a few minutes I do a hard reset ...since then my S2 doesn't boot anymore. Galaxy S2 Logo appears with yellow triangle and that was it. CWM won't boot, too.
Download Mode still works, but when I try to reflash the stock rom from above it stucks at <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!! .

Have you try repartition?

No, not yet. I've read that this is the last choice I will have. I have read that I should try to flash a 3-part Firmware (searching for one now .. :/ )
edit: another question...i've extract a boot.bin from "I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5"
..does it makes sense to flash it as new bootloader via Odin?
Try to use another computer. Install kies on the new one ant try again wiht odin.

Lets ur phone charge connected to pc... Than hold vol up + home button + power button flash siyahs Kernel now restart phone and again but now hold vol down + home + power button u should now see CWM clear everyhing flash a new rom through odin or cwm...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you read my posts you will see that CWM was broken. And the actual situation is that my phone do nothing. Screen stays black..whatever I try (Jig, DL-Mode, Recovery-Boot, normal boot, connect to pc, connect to another pc with kies installed)
But thanks for help
Just called to amazon, send it to repaircenter and we will see... I've only said that my device won't start up/charge anymore
From what I've read, your mistake was doing the repartition ...
That's the one thing that if interrupted or somehow failed (you stopped it during the process) will trash your bootloader and therefore preventing the phone from entering download mode using either the keys combo or a JIG.
If you hadn't messed with repartition, I'd say you should try on a different USB port, different cable, different PC and eventually you'd be able to flash a kernel, a ROM, whatever, but never compromise the bootloader and thus still be able to enter download mode...
I forgot to say that there was something crazy after I flashed Siyah Kernel. While the "Galaxy S2-Logo" appeared the logo split into to parts...one side go to the left, the other to the right...it was very strange, after it has splitted there was green pixels all over the display...and they growed up..I mean first there was only one green pixel, and before I did a reset there were over 40 green pixels...
after reboot everything seems to be OK.
Don't know I do not know if it has something to do with my main problem.
Tomorrow my beloved S2 go to tech-center

dude u should remember one thing that while flashing with ODIN u should uninstall KIES from that compyter because it will try to interupt ODIN!!
At this point ODIN was still banned from my harddrive
But never had problems with the combination of both programms before.
edit: but...of course you are right.
Good news
It seems like that my device has been repaired by w-support and it is on its way back.
work that they had done (translate with google...sorry )
Work carried out:
Soldering, replacement of faulty components, software update
edit: Ok phone is here new case and camera (maybe one part?) Stock 2.3.6 is installed.. phew
That's good news idd.

Galaxy S3 Boot Loop, Arrrgh

Hi all,
My GS3 (International version) is on a constant boot loop. I was browsing the internet and then it crashed into a loop, The phone was getting on my nerves abit as i was constantly having to reboot just to use it...but this time it crashed on me for good (Yes it was rooted on firmware 4.1.1)
I managed to get into CWM and wipe all data, then get into Download mode and flash a stock rom via ODIN.
All seemed to be going well, ODIN said PASSED and the phone rebooted.
Then i got the little green android robot with the blue spinning box in the middle of him/her....Boots back to initial start up screen, then little green android, then intitial start up etc etc etc....Never leaves these screens.
I cannot enter recovery nor can i enter download mode. There is nothing i can do to stop this.
I have tried repeatadly taking out the battery and puttin back in but no results.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance
From a very stressed out GS3 owner
After much playing around i managed to get back into DOWNLOAD mode...Unfortunatly no matter which STOCK rom i put on i can never get past the initial loading screen where it states my Phone device name/brand etc. Someimes i get to the little android with the spinning blue square in its belly...But then it loops again.
Ive tried about 6 different fimwares now, all stock.
Ive managed to put CWN on them too and done the whole WIPE DATA/DELVIK cache...but nothing changes!
Help please
I am in a right pickle now, Any help would be really really really appreciated. Feel gutted!
Tried everything i can think of or find, but my problems are just getting worse. I can now no longer use ODIN as i get the following:

This is the troublesome part..in your flashing frenzy you have somehow corrupted the partition layout...now try flashing the 3 part method..search for it..you will need to use mx.pit to repartition you flash memory..tread cautiously and do only what you understand..
Why do people use Odin??????? Still escapes me

I cant use tha app as im stuck on a boot loop, i can only access Download mode. I have a GS3 GT-I9300 International version UK. Just took it to the store i bought it at and theres nothing they can help me with other than telling me to contact samsung.
I have tried nurmerous files via ODIN, even PIT files but i get no results. ODIN just says FAIL.
When i enter DOWNLOAD mode on my GS3..prior to pressing volum up i have a small yellow triangle, but it still allows me to go on. Prior to Download mode i can only get as far as the initial boot screen.

OK what ssn is listed under the battery .
Its pointless proceeding until the model is confirmed as your symptoms are identical to flashing wrong firmware .

Possible corrupt NAND then .

I have spoken with Samsung who have sent me out a jiffy bag to send back to them with my phone and they will fix under warranty. Im at my wits end with it. So in the mean time im back my iPhone (errrgghh i hate it).
Out of interest is there anything i need to do to the phone prior to sending it back?
On the download scren (after pressing Volume Down + Home + Power) prior to pressing volume up i have a small yellow triangle on the bootom of that screen, is this normal??
When pressing Volume Up it goes into ODIN mode with the big green android robot..Text underneath says DOWNLOADING...I know this is right.

I have spoken with Samsung who have sent me out a jiffy bag to send back to them with my phone and they will fix under warranty. Im at my wits end with it. So in the mean time im back my iPhone (errrgghh i hate it).
Out of interest is there anything i need to do to the phone prior to sending it back?
On the download scren (after pressing Volume Down + Home + Power) prior to pressing volume up i have a small yellow triangle on the bootom of that screen, is this normal??
When pressing Volume Up it goes into ODIN mode with the big green android robot..Text underneath says DOWNLOADING...I know this is right.
Top left of screen looks as follows:
ODIN MODE
Product Name:
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Anything i should try and fix? Not that i can lol

Stuck in bootloop, help please!
ToonTonic said:
Hi all,
My GS3 (International version) is on a constant boot loop. I was browsing the internet and then it crashed into a loop, The phone was getting on my nerves abit as i was constantly having to reboot just to use it...but this time it crashed on me for good (Yes it was rooted on firmware 4.1.1)
I managed to get into CWM and wipe all data, then get into Download mode and flash a stock rom via ODIN.
All seemed to be going well, ODIN said PASSED and the phone rebooted.
Then i got the little green android robot with the blue spinning box in the middle of him/her....Boots back to initial start up screen, then little green android, then intitial start up etc etc etc....Never leaves these screens.
I cannot enter recovery nor can i enter download mode. There is nothing i can do to stop this.
I have tried repeatadly taking out the battery and puttin back in but no results.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance
From a very stressed out GS3 owner

Hi, did you manage to get yours solved?
I have the exact same problem i was on a custom samsung 4.1.2 rom and while browsing the net it crashed was in bootloop now i cant get out, went into recovery mode and factory reseted didnt help, now i cant go back into clockwork mod at all, so i went into download mode and opened odin flashed a stock rom just keeps saying fail after nand write, tried a custom rom and same issue and fails, now when i pull the battery out and turn it back on all i get is a message saying firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again! Helppppp!
Thankss
Contact Samsung, or seller, will need to be repaired under warranty.
In all that did you even try using kies to get back to original rom?
Even if it's rooted? Thanks

[Q] Samsung Galaxy SIII crashed completely!!! PLEASE HELP

Hello, I have a Galaxy S3 international >>
these were its infos before i did anything (image #1) >>> s14.postimg.org/y8tcan24x/2013_04_10_14_30_33.png
and this is what happened (image #2) >>> s13.postimg.org/undpmewzb/image.jpg
i admit, i think it's my fault: before doing anything else, my phone was just having the sudden death syndrome known to many S3 users.. so i took someones advice and downgraded the software to 4.1.1 using ODIN and it worked (actually didnt help as much at it said cz the phone kept crashing :S but the phone worked normally considering that i changed its software)))
two days later, what you see in image #2 suddenly happened:: i can do nothing with the phone!! but you need to know that the screen works...
Tried to re-install the software with ODIN >> I can access boot into Download/Odin Mode using (Volume Down+Home+Power Button till the screen turns up) and do everything but>> odin FAILED!! and I guess because USB DEBUGGING MODE wasn't enabled and I cant access the phone to enable it.
Also>> tried to reboot phone into Android Recovery mode to "wipe data/factory reset" using (Volume Up+Home +the Power button) >> doesn't work and gives the same white screen!!
the only thing i can do with the phone is to access boot into Download/Odin Mode and do something from there... the phone is not prompted by the pc when connected but recognizable by ODIN cz its says ADDED!! ...
recently.. this is what ODIN started showing:
<ID:0/008> File analysis..
<ID:0/008> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/008> Initialzation..
<ID:0/008> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/008>
<ID:0/008> There is no PIT partition.
<ID:0/008> Added!!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
>>> but this is after i tried doing stuff i dont know about... before it was saying something about connection and stuff
PLEASE HELP ME MAKE IT WORK STEP BY STEP... THANK YOU
Usb debugging is not the issue. That is only in android. Not download mode.
Yes, this is sds. You need to send your device for repair now. This is what happens when people downgrade to ics.

[Q] Galaxy S3 crashed

Hii,
I have a problem. I cycled to the gym this morning and I was listening music on my Galaxy S3, Ii took the headphones out, put phone in my bag. 10min. later I looked at my phone and there was a strange message with something about the firmware, don't know what exactly. I couldn't do anything else than shut the phone down, now every time I try to start my phone normaly or in recovery the comes a wierd pattern of colors, most of it is white with some other pixels(look at the attached file), I don't know what it could be.. I think it's maybe something with the screen..
Hope someone can help me..

Try starting the phone in download mode (volume down+home then power). If it gives the same screen then looks like to need a repair center, you could try a USB jig but that screen pattern looks fatal to me.
If it boots to download mode then follow the guide in general, stickies on how to use Odin on your PC to flash a stock ROM.

Hehe, thanks, I totaly forget the download mode, only tried the recovery mode.. It boots and now I try to fix the custom rom or load the clockwork backup.
Well I tried to flash stock rom for the galaxy s3 with odin, but I don´t work. This is what Odin says±

I never checked partition or something. If the phone is in download mode the product name is empty so: Product name: ..........
I allready chearched for PIT files but don't find one..

It looks like all of your partitions have been deleted... i think you
need to re-partition. so search the threads on how to repartition. search for the required pit file...

The PIT-File is not for every S3 the same, right? I need one for the Europe version, so the normal S3 bought in EU but can't find one.
if yours one is of 16gb model than download the GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit.zip file from the attachment, extract it an you will get GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit. For re-partitioning the Galaxy S3 download the pit file from below link and in odin select the re-partition option choosse the .pit file and also your PDA file... and start re-partitioning. hope this works for you.
Note: The above file is only for 16Gb version dont use it if its 32GB or 64GB..
Keep in mind the below things:
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit = Galaxy S3 of 16 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit = Galaxy S3 of 32 Gb
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit = Galaxy S3 of 64 Gb
Well, big thanks. It was the 16gb version, but I've tried it but it won't work...
Don't know why but Odin gives me this fail, tried it serveral times...

Could it be that my battery is not 70-90%?
I think my phone charges but when plug it in, the same screen appears.
You said that the product name is blank? Then sorry it's an SDS for sure. Send it to Samsung for repair as there's nothing you can do about it.

well battery charge is not a problem because i have even flashed a custom rom when my battery charge was 20%. It would be better if the complete firmware file could be found ( with .pit, .tar.md5). it would be better if you send it to Samsung..
I don't think we can do more than this...
Ok, last try please try using this pit file
be warned PIT file may damage your phone and is always a last resort .
Warranty is void .

But the warranty was already void after root and custom theme. I will try the other pitfile and give report.
But if I send my phone to Samsung what could they do? I don't think they give me a new phone..

The phone is dead like what I told you earlier. If your S3 is on download mode and you see that the product name is blank that means that the eMMC partition is dead. No amount of PIT files can revive your phone. So if you're gonna give it to Samsung just tell them that you got the SDS. If you're out of the warranty period then you'll probably pay for the repair service.
Your situation is exactly the same as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451728

Thanks, I will visit a walk-in Samsung service center tomorrow. In any case, thank you very much for the offered help . Still things I need to do / not say to the service desk, or it is enough to say that it is an SDS?

Things not to say:
1. That you flash a PIT file.
2. You installed a custom rom.
Things to say:
1. Your device had an SDS.
2. Still SDS.
3. Yep. You got it. Still say SDS.
Kidding aside I won't guarantee that they'll buy your alibi since I've haven't visited their service centers for repairs yet (and I hope I won't... ever lol). But most of the service technicians there should know what an SDS is.
SDS is Sudden Death Syndrome if you don't know what that means.

Yes, its enough to tell SDS. you don't need to tell anything like it was rooted, custom rom was used. If it was in warranty period was not over tha nyou can claim them by just telling SDS, since there is no partition, neither the product name. So don't tell them anything about all this, you might be serviced for free.. if the warranty is over you have to pay for the repair service.
Samsung's LIMITED warranty is 24 months from dop.
