Had some issues with my phone so I tried to flash to stock using Odin. Odin wouldn't connect so I flashed to stock using Heimdall. Stuck with stock for few hours and flashed a new CWM to get back to MIUI, screwed up so I decided to re-flash with Heimdall again. Flashing went okay, but the phone will not boot up or even go into download mode. Have I bricked the un-brickable or is there something else I can do with ADB etc?
might have bricked it. did you use the right cwr for your phone? if theirs now cwr and only stock take it in to a store and say the ota update for 2.3 screwed up your phone. if not buy a new phone like the galaxy nexus

Hi,
I am unsure about how to flash a ROM on to my phone.
I have already rooted it and installed a insecure kernel using Odin and the Samsung Quick Root tool (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414). :victory:
I am still running the insecure kernel that I flashed with Odin, and did not install CWM as I do not know what to do.
ROM Manager is installed on the phone but I don't think CWM is actually installed.
Currently, I want to install the F1 Galaxy Nexus ICS ROM. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601518)
All I want to know is do I need to install CWM, and how to install and flash the ROM to my phone.
The exact model of my phone is i1900-XWLPI.
Thanks.
Hi.
Yes you need cwm.
How to install Rom always be a guide in thread...
Send form Galaxy S2. Using XDA Premium
I was following a guide on it.
Now I am worried
I think it is bricked as it is stuck on the yellow triangle screen.
I don't have a jig and I NEED IT WORKING.:crying:
Ok I managed to get it to go in to d/l mode and flashed kernel back to the one I had earlier.
I think I'll just leave it for today and try another time.
Too much happened today and I don't want to risk a permanent brick.
Ok, because I was so happy with cyanogenmod on my galaxy s I decided to try to install it on my SII.
Silly me, I decided to follow the instructions. couldn't get my trusty odin working, even after a couple of reboots and reinstalls of kies. Heimdall turned out to be the 64 bit version so I needed to find the 32 bit version. Long story short, the instructions sucked...
Then, I tried to install the suggested cwm. After a reboot, my phone entered a bootloop. I could enter recovery but trying to flash cm10 gave me "Status 7 blabla".
So, I searched on the web for a stock rom to at least get my s2 working again, found one and flashed it. Market keeps on crashing and it's version 4.0.3.
I tried reflashing cwm, cf-root and time and time again it kept creating a bootloop after which I had to reflash the rom with the broken market to get everything working again.
My questions are:
where did I go wrong in flashing cwm? Is there a different version I should flash? what's up with the extremely bad cyanogenmod instructions? Can someone get the market working again?
can someone guide me step by step through the process?
Why don't you flash it via recovery?

because it gives the error "status 7"
I can't install a cwm that doesn't bootloop (I can however enter recovery) and in recovery I can't flash a thing because it throws errors at me
Assuming that you are on stock samsung ICS ROM, flash Siyah kernel from Odin

After this you will get CWM recovery from which you can flash any i9100 CM version.

quick follow-up:
I had another laptop laying around that was never poisoned by samsung kies, so I decided to give it a try. installed the usb-drivers and used odin to flash another stock-rom version (that actually worked this time )
Then, I flashed cf-root and upgraded to cyanogenmod without any problem.
Hey guys, I dug out my old i605 the other day and wanted to update to the latest cm nightly for the device. Not realizing I was about to do something wrong, I downloaded an app called Flashify and installed the latest cm recovery through the app. Well this made my device boot loop. So now, I need to flash a working recovery to my device to fix it. After googling for a bit, I learned that I need Odin to do so. So I am now using Odin v3.10.7. But, I cannot get any recovery tars I've found to flash. They all come back as failed. I'm at a loss here and hope someone knows how to get this thing back up and running.
My PC is on Windows 10 and I do have the latest Samsung drivers installed. On my Note 2 in download mode, it says my current binary is Samsung Official and my system status is custom. What I do not know is what recovery and firmware my i605 was on previously.
Thanks guys
EDIT: I guess what I'd really like to do is get the device back to stock rooted.
Edit 2: Fixed the problem. Uninstalled the Samsung drivers and reinstalled them and changed to Odin 3.07. Ended up restoring the device with the unlocked bootloader restore here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264
So i flashed a GT-S5830i stock firmware on as it was branded to Vodafone and wanted an unbranded one but i came across some issues. So i decided to flash back to the original FW but had trouble flashing through odin. I was able to get into recovery until i stupidly decided to flash a CWM Odin flashable file that wasn't compatible for my device. Now i can't seem to get into recovery.
I am however, able to flash stock FW through Odin but that's about it.
I can't Offline charge, get into recovery or boot the phone up.
When i try offline charge, the battery shows for a split second then tries to boot up.
I need to get into recovery to try and factory wipe it to see if that will help. I doubt it though as it doesn't even get to the samsung logo.
I think something is really messed up
Any ideas?
Thanks
Couple of months ago, I flashed a custom recovery and LineageOS with no problems. I wanted to flash back a stock recovery image, because that seemed like the easiest method to getting back to stock, using Flashify, and it bricked my phone. Tried the same with Odin, even though it was succesful, it's stuck on booting screen (S6 edge, powered by android etc). Any solutions?

Try again with latest firmware and odin. The issue is you can't flash stock with flashify.
After you flash it should boot. If not, boot to recovery and factory reset.
