Why did you put pit512 file in PDA section? Boot in download mode and flash rom again.

It won't boot

It is just death,no matter what I do

The pit file I put in Pit area,I'm sure about this

Do you have usb jig?

The hardware problem is between your ears .
One this is DEVELOPMENT post in Q&A .
Two you have followed instructions from XX forum why not ask them for advice .
Three are you sure you have i9100 phone as that PIT is not for this phone .
Likewise did you flash i9100 firmware .
You have a bricked phone .
Can you get to download mode if so flash a stock GB rom from stock rom thread to get the phone working .
No download mode two choices find a JTAG repair it will be cheaper than a Samsung repair . Alternative take to Samsung service and hope they dont charge but repair under warranty .

Here was mistake, Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 8. Why did you touch PIT button???

Pit.
When you flash tar you must not set pit for flashing. Remove battery for hour or more than put it back ,try to go in download mode , if that doesnt work find some usb jig to help you put the phone in download mode.

I'm sorry because posted here...and I thank you for you answer.
You may have right about the way I put the PIT file
can you please tell me where I can get the JTAG repair?

Device bricked ?

Hi Folks,
after trying to flash the SGS-2, the phones screen is still black and doesnt
get powered on by pressing the power button, no boot, no screen. Odin dont
know about the phone - no usb connection
any suggestion what i can do?
Recovery mode or download mode ?????

no, nothing. still black screen / no power.
i think, my mistake was a wrong .pit - i was using the 512.pit, i'm a sgs2 noob ^^
afaik, you do not flash PIT for this phone, ever.
Try removing the battery, then turning on, download mode, recovery etc. If that doesn't work, you're screwed.
Try purchasing a jig. To be honest though, it sounds hard bricked. When you plug it into a power source and try to power it on if nothing at all happens that's usually a bad sign.
To offer you saving point, there are two or three places on the web that offer Jtag services which rewrite the default boot loader.
What were you doing when this happened?
Did the flash complete successfully?
These things are hard to brick although not impossible.
Edit: Oh, just saw the pit reference. Ouch, you are going to need Jtag, friend.

Dead as a dodo, jtag or RMA and hope they don't notice, say it was a failed kies flash or something.

No instructions to flash a 512 PIT file for the SGS1 phone its a totally different PIT.Same as putting the wrong fuel in the tank .

You won't be debrick it at home, only JTAG equipment can help you now. Either send it to a Samsung Service center, tell them you were updating through Kies and hope they don't notice or find a Repair Service with JTAG equipment and have them debrick it.
i wonder something why is a 512.pit file in the update pack (was rar compressed) as the FW is for SGS-2 but not SGS-1 ?!
tomorrow i send the phone to the service center, i can say it was a failure in kies - most pplz are writing this and dont have to pay something^^

You should ask the person who put it in the firmware pack... I haven't seen any downloads on XDA which contain the 512.pit file. Infact if you would've taken the time to read up on some threads here at XDA you would've known most experienced users advise and actively warn against using a pit file.

Bricked! You'll need to get it repaired by Samsung or some place with a JTAG box.
thanks for all answers here
i dont have downloaded the firmware from xda but from samfirmware.com and a wrong odin version with that **** pit file ...
... and readed the wrong tut about flashing a SGS-2 - think this was the most mistakes i've made ...
now its realy bricked and i'll see if i can send to a service center tomorrow.
i hope repair is for free ...

After Flashing wrong PIT

I have S 2 ,
I have flashed this ( I9100XWLP7_I9100OJVLPB_ARB ) with PIT ( android_fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G ) after that my phone goes dead , NO Respond , Even no charging as well , , , is there any solution ?
Regards
Never ever flash a PIT (unless your phone is 99% borked and flashing a PIT is that 1% chance of getting it running again). Bit late for you, obviously.
If you can't get into download mode, you might as well try a jig (but very unlikely to get you into download mode), so it's either service center or possibly a JTAG repair by a non-Samsung repairer.

That my friend is called a hard brick. A jtag or you can try to send it to samsung and see if they will fix it
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
how can you flash wrong pit, where did you get the pit file, the fact it said 32g shouldve rung alarm bells for you!!!
As far as im aware, there is only one s2 pit file used by samsung on gb and ics for the 9100, it does come with most roms in case you need it.
In fact what youve flashed is a Galaxy Tab .pit file, if you cant get back into DL mode with a jig then youve had it im afraid, im not even sure samsung would repair this as its not a 9100 file you flashed.

Search on ebay or something for USB jig. They cost 1-2 dollars. Any more and consider it expensive.
As said above, a jig will probably not work meaning your only option is to send it to samsung for repair or to get a JTAG.
In fact the correct pit file was : u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
But you select for P7500 which was a galaxy tab 10.1 pit

SGS2 doesn't turn on after disconnecting while flashing with Odin! HELLP!!

Hi guys,
I really need your help !!!
This is the story:
I tried to flash with odin (v3.07).
At first I checked these boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Nand Erase all
And flashed. Until it got stuck for quite some time in "SetupConnection..."
Then I disconnected the phone and reinserted it to download mode.
I tried to flash again but know with these checked boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Re-Partition
It got stuck again in "NAND.. " (something - I don't remember exactly)
Again I disconnected the phone.
From that moment it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did And wouldn't charge. (BTW the battery was 85% when I started everything)
I tried many (!) methods I found online: Taking the battery out / put it in the freezer for 10 mins / reinsert it while pressing ON button / ON + HOME ...
Nothing helps..
What is the problem?
Tried to specify as much as I could...
I really need your help!!!
What should I do in order for it to work again??
Thanks

So you can`t get into Download Mode?
And wait a second you put your phone in the freezer for 10 minutes???
Edit: How many parts did your firmware have? 1 part or 3 parts?
If it was a 1 part firmware (Only PDA File) and you checked Re-partition then it`s possible that you bricked your phone.
If you can`t go into Download mode then the last thing you can try is to buy a USB Jig and try get into Download mode with it. If this doen`t help then Samsung service center is probably the way to go.
I can't get it to turn on which means no download mode.
I put the battery in the freezer as I read somewhere...
I don't think I have a descent samsung service in my country. I need to check...
My firmware had 2 parts:
A .pit file and a PDA(.zip file)
why did you check re partition mate...you could have at least taken time to search for a flashing guide...

What Firmware did you flash, a link or the exact name of the Firmware would be nice.
What happens if you run Odin and then Plug your device into USB? Does Odin recognize that your phone is connected or nothing happens? If nothing happens then try to buy the USB Jig and plug it in and see if you can get into Download Mode.

True that, I heard several times that guys have bricked their phone of Re-Partition because of missing or wrong Pit File.
Never use pit and repartition with 1file rom. Repartition must be made with 3 file firmware. And of course proper .pit.

And THAT is an OMAP .pit file, which is for the I9100G.
What is your phone's actual model number? (look on the label under the battery)
You're probably looking at a JTag job at the least, or a visit to a Samsung service center... Nothing you can do if you flashed an I9100G .pit file to an I9100, or I9100T.

So you flashed an i9100G .pit file to an i9100. That completely buggers it, you can do nothing at this point, except what I said. JTag, or Samsung service center.
JTag is a service where a qualified technician solders leads from a riff box to the motherboard of your phone, to reformat the phone. This will USUALLY end up being cheaper than going to a Samsung service center.
Though, if your device is still under warranty, you could just try sending it in for warranty service and playing dumb. (i.e. not telling them you were flashing stuff)

There is a good chance you screwed up your bootloader because you inserted a wrong Pit File (I9100G Pitfile although you have a normal I9100) and checked Re-Partition.
Like ctomgee said,If the Bootloader is screwed you need someone with a so called Jtag to flash a working bootloader on your device. You can bring it to a Samsung Service Center or find someone (Maybe even here on XDA) who will do this for you.

[Q] Samsung s2 I9100 wrong PIT

Hi !
Any one can help ?
I flash my I9100 erroneously wrong PIT :crying:
The wrong was >>> Galaxy i9100G compatible PIT File > omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit
right one is:
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
Now...
No boot and phone not turn on.
Only jtag/USB Jig helps or possible to repair via usb cable ?
Some tricks or something ?
Maybe helps

If the phone & PC recognise each other via Odin, you could try flashing a full rom package with a pit.
If they don't, you're out of luck. Nothing you can do will fix it. JTAG or service centre. Take your pick.

Is it worth a try usb jig ?
Doubt a jig will work. If you can get or make one easily (lots of tutorials on Google/here showing you how to make one), you might as well try it. But if it's going to take you a couple of weeks to get one, you're probably going to be delaying getting your phone fixed for something that has a 1% (realistically a lot less) chance of working at best.

Hi everyone.
i own a international samsung s3 gt-i9300T
i noticed it behaving strangly as apps where locking up and then it would restart in the middle of web surfing etc
last night i restarted it and now it has frozen in ODIN MODE and states DOWNLOADING-DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET...
Its been on this page for hrs..
i have a custom Hyperlight rom installed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thankyou.

Press and hold the power button to restart it. Does it still reboot into the Download mode?
If yes, then try and install a stock ROM.

Basics as its very difficult to understand your posts .
Download mode first screen vol up .
Open Odin
Load firmware file as PDA
Connect USB cable
First box in Odin should show yellow then hit start .
Note at what point fails .

Put it on ebay just say what the problem is .
Someone who reads your post will come to the conclusion its just a user who has not followed the instructions annd may think its worth a cheap buy .
Odin is not firmware CF Root is not firmware .
jje
Make sure that uve downloaded the correct CF-Root file (for i9300T and NOT i9300)... I think its nothing to do with SDS... Anyway try the following link and download the package again...
