while updating my s2 to official ics via odin first it got stuck on "setup connection" and after trying several times something different showed up on odin and then my phone got stuck on " phone connected to pc" like screen. Since then i have not been able to figure out what i did wrong. i have owned galaxy ace before and flashed it several times without any hiccups but this all together new to me. m really scared.. my phone is just 2 months old and i have already managed to brick it. please if someone can help me out here.
the file i downloaded is
I9100XXLPS_I9100OXALPS_I9100XXLPS_HOME.tar.md5. and i used odin v1.83.
as usuall i ask this first......
1: you got i9100 not i9100G
2: can you do download mode
3: can you get to recovery
if all yes goto download mode and flash again. this time get the download again. use the working cable and good usb port.
if you have cwm recovery better to wipe data cache and system partiton first.

I have the 32 GB retail model of the galaxy tab 10.1 and it was working perfectly and I had no problems until I tried to boot it up today. It gets stuck between the Samsung animation and the Samsung logo. I'm not very great with fixing these kinds of things so could someone walk me through it?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

what was the last update you did to your tab? any app or tweak?
I once had a similar problem but doing a wipe/factory reset from the recovery menu seemed to fix it for me and I've had no problems since.
Ok thanks, I just did a factory reset and now its back to normal.
How do you do a Factory Wipe and reset? I cannot get mine to take the ClockworkMod Recovery.... I have tried many times to install it and Odin says that it was successful but when I try to boot into the CWM... All I get is the USB fastboot or Odin again... any suggestions? I am trying to fix my Boot Loop issues on Galaxy Tab 10.1

If you have fastboot that means your tab is Google I/O tab. So i believe the method may be different to install CWM for you. Google it
Hi guys! Can you give me a tip? Since yesterday my tab got caught in a boot loop. Didn't made any changes, just went into it. I have rooted it a long time ago. I can't get into recovery mode by holding power+up. All I can get it the download mode that first says "waiting for usb cable" and if I connect it to the PC it goes to "press the [START] of Odin3". Do I need to try the fastboot method and reset it to factory details? I've being trying to do that but no devices were listed... Or do I need to reflash something with oding again? Please, just give me a tip.

Hey nightrave
I got caught in a bootloop the other day after updating to 3.2 from 3.1, my tab was rooted and running the starburst ROM. When I rebooted it it keeped getting stuck on the logo screen, and my device wasn't being recognized when I plugged it into my PC. I found a file online for the stock 3.1 firmware and flashed it using Odin and it got it out of the boot loop. If you can't go into CWM to flash a rom or do a recovery I would try using ODIN to flash the firmware your device was on. I ended up flashing the firmware for 3.2 the same way and the Galaxy Task 10 ROM. Let me know if that helps
app not working
i downloaded an app and it was working fine for a few days and now when i go use it i get an error msg and it kicks me out of the app. ive deleted and reinstalled app a few times but it still does it. what do i do?
Did u try goin on rom manager and clicking fix permissions.. its suppose to fix any force close issues, not sure if that would work.
I was able to fix my issue by installing a 3.2 rom. My tablet is not bricked anymore
Getting a com.android.phone error now but i'm trying to figure it out.
so I recently Tried to flash stock rom onto my i717 i think it disconnected half way and now its stuck in this odin mode i keep trying to get it into download mode but nothing will work i even tried a jig when i connect to samsung kies it says device not responding
any help here ?
Reboot your pc, start odin, connect phone to pc, odin will connect, flash your rom.
That is just another version of the download mode screen.
Are you sure you have an i717?

Looks like you have a different model then the i717. Read up top in download mode, and read through this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33601483
Flashing stuff for other model phones can brick your device so always read read read. Good luck
Hi. I'm new to here so please i appreciate any help you can give .
So the story is... I own a samsung galaxy gio S5660 (i have Android 2.2.1 ) and i wanted to flash a custom rom on it. Well i forgot that i had to root it, so i just flashed the CWM recovery on it and now i cant get into the recovery, the samsung logo just stays. The phone works, it boots up but only not in the recovery mode :s. Also, i cant root from the pc either because i get unknown device, i installed kies, reinstalled the drivers... I get the error : Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). It charges via usb but doesnt connect as storage or something like that :/ i cant figure out what to do. The root programs dont recognize/find the device so am i screwed or what :s. I know i was stupid that i didnt think about the root. I've done the rooting on a tablet many times so i dont know why i forgot to do it :s
Thank you for reading. Hope i get an answer
BUMP BUMP-
I did a factory reset with the code from the phone and now its stuck on the samsung logo :s. It enters download mode and fastboot but the most important problem is that the pc doesnt recognize the device so i cant use odin or any similar program to flash a new recovery on it :s. Is there anything i could do?
I tried reinstalling the drivers multiple times.
I tried on 2 laptops and 1 desktop but it's all the same :S.
BUMP.
Help please
BUMP T_T

Prepare ODIN with the firmware you want to flash (in my case was Gingerbread 2.3.4) and get it ready to go.
-
Remove battery, wait for a bit. Insert battery again.
-
Flash a recovery with your specific filesystem (EXT4 or RFS)-(If you have EXT4, download ext4 only, don't get ext4+rfs)
-
Enter recovery & Wipe | Format:
System
Data
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Have ODIN ready. Connect phone to PC.
-
Reboot to Download Mode
Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time.
-
At this point Odin should have detected your Galaxy Gio (Yellow rectangle should appear).
-
Insert the Stock Rom or Custom Rom.
-
Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
-
Reboot and wait

Method 3: using usb jig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=METM3teG5rI
It's not my fault if you hard brick your phone using this methods.
Thanks for answering, but i cant enter recovery as i mentioned early and also odin doesnt detect my phone in download mode :s. When the samsung logo just stays i plug also the usb in then the pc says it cannot recognize the device and its listed as unknown which i before also mentioned. When i attempt to enter recovery it just also stays at the samsung logo and isnt entering it :s..

Guys i still dont got the answer :c
Hi,
My problem started a couple days ago. I had my Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) charging overnight and when I woke up it was off. When I turned it back on it was stuck in a boot loop. I could not access recovery mode (although it would enter recovery mode and then drop out) but I could enter download mode. It was running a stock ROM and I had never played around with flashing before.
After leaving it for about a day without power nothing had changed so I started reading up about recovering from soft-brick and possibly the NAND read-write corruption at the guide on XDA here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-fix-unflashable-soft-bricked-gsii-t1449771
The guide is a bit old now so some links are broken which made it more difficult for me to figure out what I had to do. Particularly with what file should be going where.
I ended up downloading the same ROM that i think was already on my phone from samfirmware and tried to flash it using Odin (various versions) without success. I tried to flash just the kernel using heimdall which now stops me from even entering recovery mode. I tried to flash everything in the ROM from samfirmware using heimdall but it got stuck on the second file (cache) at 62%, the first file was the bootloader which it said was successful. However now I don’t even get the Samsung logo anymore. I only get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I still have download mode so I have hope.
I haven’t tried repartitioning yet, is that my next step? Can someone give me instructions on how to determine what the problem is and what I should or shouldn’t be flashing? I’m not against going to a completely new ROM like cyanogen mod either. I need some help from people who have more experience with this.
Thanks for your help, I should be around to answer questions.
Same thing happened to me
Hi, almost the same thing happened to me - except that I was running Cyanogenmod 10 custom rom and I'm not being able to go into recovery mode, but I can go into download mode.
So far I've only managed to worsen things while trying to use odin to write a recovery kernel, so I had a bad firmware upgrade and now instead of powering up to Samsung logo it goes into the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. But I'm still able to boot into download mode.
Did you manage to fix your phone? If so, how did you do it?
My phone is a verzon note 2 on deodox 4.3 with twrp recovery. The phone only boots to teamwin logo and flickers on and off. my computer will not recognize my phone either at this point.This is what happened. Ive been having some 4g lte loss and unstable wifi issues to i decided to do a factoty reset. when i rebooted into recovery i was stuck at the twrp logo and it would constantly bootloop the twrp logo.. I restarted my phone and did a factory reset from under the general setting. At that point it rebooted int the twrp but continued to just stay at the logo and would not go into recovery. I pulled the battery and restarted the phone but from that point on it would only boot into the twrp logo and stay there. I can get into download mode but my pc (win7) no longer recognizes the phone so i cant attempt to fix this in odin. Im not sure what to do to get this phone to work properly at this point.

My guess is that when you rooted with CASUAL, it changed the Samsung device driver on your computer and you need to reinstall the Samsung driver to get the computer to recognize the phone again in download mode.
Underneath step 7 of section 1b on Droidstyle's restore guide, he discusses issue with CASUAL replacing the Samsung driver... and he gives a link to Jeremy Loper's fix... "If odin no longer recognizes your device, most likely Casual killed the driver for odin!! follow this tutorial for restoring the driver: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzghcV8HVVk"
Once the computer recognizes the phone again, you should be able to use ODIN to restore back to 4.1.2 so you can root/unlock again with CASUAL. After you get the phone restored with Odin, I would recommend booting into Stock Recovery and wiping cache/doing factory reset before running Casual again... this would enure you are starting over with a totally clean slate.
If the above doesn't work, then here's a thread where I tried to help someone else who couldn't get their computer to recognize the phone.... maybe some of those ideas will help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55833998
Good luck!!
1 step forward two steps back. I got my pc /odin to recognizes my note 2(changed usb cords). Then tried to odin back to stock 4.1.2. At first odin kept saying (odin not responding) and would ask to close the program,after several attemps i final got it to flash the 4.1.2 file. When i flashed the file and was at the point where it reboots, it would not get past the samsung note 2 logo and continued to flicker and not boot up even when i tried to put it into download mode like it said to in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207. When i tried to reflash the file it failed. when i attempted again it just hangs at setupconnection. Tried again and it failed. Btw thanks for the help mattnmag.
Got it working! i simply forgot to place the sch-i605 pit. into the pit section of odin when i flashed the 4.1.2 rom.
Similar problems
I was running AllianceROM 26. My phone had been spontaneously rebooting for a bit recently. Today, it started to spontaneously reboot again, but this time, it never got past the Galaxy Note 2 screen. After pulling the battery, I tried to boot into TWRP. It just hangs on the twrp boot screen for a few minutes but never goes into twrp.
I figured I would try taking it back to stock. So, I used ODIN to try and put 4.1.2 on it and a new PIT file. That appeared to work fine. I got no errors in ODIN. However, I still cannot get this thing to get past these boot screens, either the Galaxy Note 2 one or TWRP when I try that there. I have tried this twice now, once with re-partition checked and another time with re-partition unchecked (saw conflicting instructions on that so I figured I would try it both ways). I still am not getting past the boot screen.
Any help or ideas are appreciated as right now, my phone appears to be bricked and I am out of ideas.
so what was the solution to the teamwin flashing on and off after a factory reset? this is certainly not a solution, having to reflash the phone...
