Hello Guys, sorry if this is not in the correct part of the forum. This is for a GALAXY ACE BTW,
Lets Begin!,
I have installed CM7 Couples of days ago and all when perfectly fine, but now I want to get back to a stock ROM of my phone as I preferred the the other ROM.
What have I tried and not worked so far:
Odin OneClick Downloader - ( i have done the remove battery and sim and sd also )
(USB Debugging is also on)
I have ran it as admin
Ran Odin First
Then Plug in
and Boot to Download Mode
and Also tried ADB Reboot Download
I have tried this on 3 of my computers and I keep on getting stuck on File Analysis on all of the 3 Computers.
I have tried the Odin Multiloader also but still no luck Flashing back to the STOCK ROM.
Anyone has any suggestion, I have also tried flashing a new on it and it gets installed but does Boot Loop at Reboot. But when I flash CM7 everything is fine. I also have another GALAXY ACE (well not mine another member of the family) if that is any help of like make a back up and that and sending it to my phone!?#
I can also send screenshot if needed.
bootloop???

Thanks again

I followed this guide here to try to install one of the simply roms and now my phone is stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I have tried without success to get into recovery or download and I can't. Please help!!!!
Okay sorry for making this thread before I tried my last thing to get it to work. I had an idea and it worked. I don't know if this will help anybody else but I will still share what I did to get it working again. You will need the phone to be connected to the computer and also have the Vibrant all in one toolbox installed. The phone was stuck at the boot screen as previously stated so all I did was open up AIO Toolbox and clicked flash to stock and then it rebooted me into download mode and everything went smooth from that point on. Sorry for the worthless thread but maybe my solution will work for you also. Hope it does! If it does don't thank me on the thread thank me with my thanks button.
Okay so now I actually have another question. I got the phone back to stock 2.1 and now it still says galaxy s GT-I9000 at boot up but right after that it says Vibrant. I need to know how to get my phone completely back to stock so I can start all over

I followed a guide here to try to root and unlock my samsung galaxy s 4g. Everyghing went well until last reboot. My phone is stuck at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen. I have tried without success to get into recovery or download and I can't. Cannot get any recovery command on the phone. Cannot access the phone from the computer. The phone does not even turn off without taking off the battery. Please help!!!! I do not know anything about computers or cell phones and honestly do not know whatelse do!
That's probably because you flashed a rom or bootloaders that were made for the regular vibrant and you have a 4g. You can't as of right now flash anything from the vibrant forum to the 4g, it's clockwork is still in beta.
Help Please...I really need some now.
I had my phone unlocked and everything was fine. I have been updating the resurrection remix roms and enjoying them a lot. I was up to ver. 1.7. The problem is that I had some of the screen issues (fine horizontal lines on the screen) and I decided to get the phone repaired. I just got the phone back today and I noticed that Bell repair shop had wiped everything off my phone and put their stock version of ics on and the phone was no longer rooted. I have been trying to root the phone a few times now through Odin (like I did half a year ago) and at first it failed due to not being able to open the serial port. I opened Kies and the phone connected so I knew the drivers were ok. I tried Odin again and this time it went through and gave me a pass......but on reboot, it just hangs on the Samsung screen and I cannot turn the phone on at all now. I either am stuck on this screen or the CWM screen, but it won't carry out any command ie. power off, open zip from scard etc. I really need some help and quite worried about the phone now.
Please, please help
you allowed usb debugging?, go back to download mode and flash a kernel with root.
Go to download mode and flash a stock kernel. If you are unable to get into download mode because you said that your phone wont accept any commands for example pressing buttons then you could buy an USB jig. This will bring you directly to download mode. That would propably be your last chance.
Then flash a stock kernel back on there. Maybe the exact same which was on there before. Or just flash a stock full ICS Rom.

Yahoo!! I finally got the thing unstuck. I tried the Odin procedure again but this time I downloaded a more updated root kernel. It passed, then on bootup it wasn't stuck in space......although it still did not boot up properly. It ended up going just black...with no screen whatsoever. But the CMW program was working though and I was able to do a system restore from a month ago. I was very happy and very lucky I made that backup. Now, not only do I make the Titanium backup, but I also do a backup from the CMW program.....because now I know it's possible to freeze up before I ever get a chance to use Titanium. A good lesson indeed.
Hello guys, I have (I think) soft bricked my Galaxy S2.
(Details: UK Phone, Carrier was Orange but now I am running 3 on it, official phone model Galaxy I9100T (NFC support iirc) )
Right I am curious bunny hacking away at the phone from the day I bought it, reading pages after pages on different roms and kernel and everything. Finally I settled on CyanogenMod 9 and then went straight to the CM10.1 release. Today Morning I installed the 23/02/2013 CM10.1 realease and then started browsing the XDA forums on whats new. I came across the Siyah 6.0b kernel release and saw it was compatible with cm10.1, eager and foolish I downloaded the apk without doing any further reading or any instruction, overconfident from all the flashing I have been doing for the past year, flashed the kernel via CWM recovery. Now the phone is stuck in what I assume is a boot loop (again I am pretty noobish).
So What have I tried to fix the soft brick?
I tried to go "restore" an img I had taken a week ago of the system with CWM but the phone would no longer boot into recovery.
So I went ahead and got all the recovery package (I9100TDULP9_I9100THUTLP7_HUT) to reflash my phone with Odin 3.07.
This is where I hit a brick wall and now I am truly lost at what to do, my computer doesn't recognise the phone (Download Mode). I keep getting "there is a problem with this device" error and the Device manager shows an unknown device connected. So I installed the Samsung drivers from the samsung website with no luck. Still getting unknown device error. So I googled for a solution and the only solution that came up was reformat my PC since it could be a problem within the OS, so I went forward and used two other PC and still getting the error. Please Help SOS.
tl;dr: Getting Device not recognised error when I connect phone to the computer via USB cable.
Thanks in advance to all the knights to my rescue

Just go to recovery menu (VOLUP+MENU+POWER) and wipe cache and wipe dalvik. That should fix it.

I cannot enter Recovery Mode, the screen just goes blank
EDIT: So the only thing that works atm is
1) The battery charge animation (huge green battery in the middle of the screen) when plugged in.
2) Download/Odin mode (which 3 computer refuse to recognise when connected via a USB cable)
EDIT2: The other thing I forgot to mention was, that I have lost the original SII micro USB cable which was black and now I am using the white micro USB cable I received with my Galaxy Note 2.
You could try uninstalling all Samsung-related drivers/software (Ie: Kies), download the Android Naked Driver or the Android ADB Driver (I wish I could recall where I got it from, but it also came with the driver for the Galaxy SII... Sounds like it might be more of a driver issue than it would be a cable issue..
Borrow and S2 cable.
There are a lot of guys having issues with note's cable.
Try a laptop, and install kies on any other pc you try.
Flash siyah v5 instead of flashing v6.
You can relax, if the only thing you did is flash a kernel then there is nothing wrong with your phone.
Try different cables, try Odin 1.85 (that one always worked for me), try different pc's, reinstall drivers, make sure no kies process is running in the background.
First of all thanks for the replies
I couldn't get the drivers working still (after re-installing, installing kies). But while eating lunch I remembered reading about removing battery and pressing the Power button and it doing something I couldn't quite remember. So I thought to myself it wouldn't hurt trying. Did that and the phone Finally booted in recovery mode, I took a breather of relief and than located my previous backup img and restored the phone.
But now a new problem arose, the phone went into SIM lock as soon as it booted and now I guess I have to fix that
Well thanks guys
Quick question guys is SIM network unlock pin basically same unlocking phone form a carrier?
It's asking for a SIM pin or network code?
Get galaxysim unlock by searching xda (free here, paid at play store).

Before anyone says anything, sorry for another s2 brick post but I've searched like mad! Downloaded like mad n stayed up till 2 hours before work to sort this n nothing so far.
I rooted my s2 successfully and installed a working kernel. For some reason any ROM o tried failed at flashing, so I went back intoodin n installed a new kernel but my laptop froze n now I'm bricked. I've tried reinstalling the kernel that worked n no hope and tried maybe 10 different kernels n nothing worked. I read on a post to try installing new firmware, some work n some fail, some just go into boot loop n some come up firmware problem use kies. I've tried combinations of kernels n firmware but its not worked, sometimes the phone loads up to boot logo then just goes off.
I'm trying to download some files now but my stock ROM download keeps stopping, I've got the bootloader n kernel just the ROM is playing up.
The one click unbrick doesn't see my phone as mass storage so won't work. Kies won't connect. I can get into recovery and download
Anyone have files that will definitely work or any advice.....phone is s2 i9100 on o2 uk
1) Download the stock rom using another internet connection (I.E an internet cafe. Because flashing one is the only way you're fixing this).
2) There has been dozens of 'Odin won't work/PC & phone won't recognise each other' threads on here over the past month. In many of them, someone here has listed the troubleshooting steps you go thru when this happens. Find them. And try those steps. All of them. With multiple PC's if you need to. And keep trying them until it works.
Edit - Use a more descriptive title than 'Please help'. Many people here will automatically not even bother to read your thread by default, which may deny you the chance to fix your phone.
Hi,
the long story:
bought a used Samsung GT-I8160 (Galaxy Ace II) on Tuesday. It is without simlock and not branded. Originally it had Gingergread installed. I tried my SIM and after some fundling it in the slot it finally worked, I got connection, could recieve and send messages and use the Internet via the browser.
After that I tried to get it rooted via Odin v3.07, I8160XXLL2_CWM_5.0.2.6_ANT.tar.zip and UPDATE-SuperSU-1.65.zip wich worked. So I went on and tried CM 10.1 and 10.2 and Vanilla RootBox Build 4m which all worked extremely well. Just a single glitch: I could not get it to recognize my SIM any more. Even with holding it in place for better connection to the contacts to the chip. Remembering, that it once worked I thougt to flash the stock rom (via sammobile.com) back on and tried I8160XXLL2_I8160ATOMA1_ATO.zip which succeeded in Odin but brought me to my final problem.
The Problem:
Right now while booting or booting to recovery it gets stuck on the first screen, which is a Samsung Startsplash or a black screen or a frozen loading circle. Therefore I can not enter any codes or wipe any data through recovery.
I can start the phone in Odin Mode and flash custom roms, stock roms, kernels and whatever, what gets a succeed and a PASS! in Odin, but changes nothing for re-booting while flashing or booting manually into the other modes.
Searching the Internet I have not found a solution and even the problem seems to be rare. As last resort I tried to flash the GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G.pit as mentioned in one post while Re-Partition through Odin, what did not change a thing. I guess I did something awefully wrong on the way but would like to get it undone. If there is no solution to do it myself I will have to go to a store next week.
Thanks for reading.
