UPDATE (30.05.11):
My phone starts up, but then hangs after some secounds. It started happend without me doing anything(I ofcourse had rooted my phone, but that was days earlier)
I have tried to flash Samsung KE7 firmware, with and without .PIT file, I have tried Villianrom v1.1 and I also tried to enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Nothing seems to help, the phone still doesnt work.
I ordered a USB jig so I can reset the counter before I try to get it on warranty.
But before I do that, is there something else I can try?
Is my really phone defect?
What is samsung policy when you have flashed custom roms?

You saved the original firmware ???
Or do you know what your original firmware was . Probably WKDD

Flash back to that but i would wager you are doing something wrong .
Did you extract the tar file I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
from the zipped file first guess .
jje
Im flashing I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar
And it flashes successfully. But when one flash like this it doesnt delete everyting.
Still having issues with my phone, its hangs on boot, or right after, when I try to enter my gmail acount.
Tried flashing it with PDA : I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar
and pit file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
DON'T use the pit file, only put the firmware in PDA and then press start.
I had the same Problem, just like you. I forgot to wipe the cache/data in the bootloader, thats why it goes in a boot loop.
first you have to go into the bootloader(shutdown phone, and then press home+volume up+power button). then once you are in the bootloader, wipe the data/factory reset, and then wipe the cache.
after you have done that, you can flash a new rom.
I tried that earlier aswell. But I can try again with the new firmware I downloaded.
This is what I tried now:
Enter rec mode (Power + Volume UP + enter)
wipe the data/factory reset
wipe the cache
Battery inn and out
Enter Flash mode (Power + Volume down + Enter)
Flashed I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar with Odin3 v1.85 with only "Auto reboot", "F. Reset time" and PDA file checked.
After the flash, the phone reboots and Lock up on the "S" logo with "Samsung galaxy s II" underneath.
Waited 5 minutes, still locked on the same screen.
Turn the phone off and on, and it lockup where I input sim pin code.
I again turn the phone off and on an it locked up at the "Touch the android to begin, even before I get asked to enter pin..
I turn of and on the phone, And I get to the point where I can am asked to enter google infomation, and then the phone reboots itself and lockups on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-9100" logo.
Tried to enter Enter rec mode (Power + Volume UP + enter) and wipe out everything again, and reboot. But the system still hangs.
But I get this error message when I enter Rec mode and when I flash, is this normal?

Five mins doesn't sound long enough to me. My first boots took much longer, I swear. don't worry about multi csc error, I get that.
While you're at it, buy a jig and reset the custom rom counter to protect yourself

Okay, I can try to flash again when I come home from work today.
How long should I wait? 15 minutes?
Tried flashing again, and I leaved until the phone booted. (Happen very quick this time)
The phone still gets in reboot loop, or it hangs. Sometime its boots up fully(I can move around in homescreen) and then it hangs/reboots.
Tried flashing many different roms, but same symptoms.
Do people have an idea what I can do?
Is my phone defect?
What is samsung policy when you have flashed custom roms?
OK i was having a lot of problem with my samsung s3. It was hanging a lot. The phone hangs every time. so was fed up with that a lot.
So i tried to factory reset from the reset menu. The phone switched off and after restarting it is not booting. It gives error - No command with a green adnroid laying down.
I dont know about the firmware version and modem and etc. But it was on the India Stock Rom no root.
I am able to go to the download menu only, no booting and no reovery mode..
Flash a stock firmware with Odin, then factory reset again in recovery.
Apologies if this post is inappropriate for the forum, if so could I be directed to the correct place?
I recently flashed the latest CyanogenMod to my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100). However, after some tinkering I managed to make it unable to access the internet via WiFi or Mobile Data.
Unable to fix this after asking online I figured I'd just flash a stock ROM, and go back to square 1.
In flashing, something ****ed up. I did everything right AFAIK but mid flash the phone went to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." screen.
The device will now only boot to this screen, and I cannot access recovery mode.
I went immediately to Kies, plugged in my phone, intending to use the firmware recovery tool, however Kies does not recognise the phone. I went through the troubleshooting procedure, redownloaded the drivers (multiple times) and still no joy. I even uninstalled Kies and reinstalled. Following that, it now gives a "Device is not responding" error message.
I can't do a firmware recovery, I can't flash a new ROM until I can enter recovery mode, and I can't turn my phone on.
I hesitate to ask but... am I bricked?
Wat do?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have a Tmobile GS6 Edge,My problem is this I was restoring a TWRP backup, coming from [ROM][5.1.1][OF8] OZOP EDGE. I used this Backup numerous times. But the last restore sent me into bootloop. I'm on OF8 but I ran an OF6 tar file through odin (it's the only one I can get to pass and run successfully). Heres what happened I connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again. Now I'm stuck in bootloop. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. I force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.
smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm lost. I read to reboot to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery but I'm still in bootloop Hell. Is there a pit file I can run? Anything? Please help.
Just flashed G925TUVU3DOI1 with ODIN, same issue, wont boot past Samsung logo and now I am stuck with OI1 firmware. It will not allow me to downgrade to OF8 or OF6 for example.
Update I have created and flashed successfully my own bootloader.img.tar file with Modem.img.tar.file as suggested. And still stuck at Samsung logo. Any ideas?
Anything in this?
