I was trying to flash ICS into the phone. But it failed so i rebooted the phone. And this happened. I was just helping my friend to flash ICS. But I got no clue how to fix this problem. Cant even boot the phone, put it in download or recovery mode.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

Lack of information what ICS what phone what method what firmware source .
Try taking battery out a short while .
That fails its a JTag paid for repair though it would be worth buying a USB recovery jig to see if you can get to download mode first .
Other route is service centre if it a legitimate failed KIES update .

Thanks. Sorry for not providing much information. Since im a still a new user, the website doesn't allow me to link pictures. This phone is my friend's. I did not check which firmware he was on. Probably 2.3.6 and the firmware I was going to flash is I9100XWLP7. When flashing it, Odin popped up a FAIL word so i take off the cable and reboot the phone by taking out the battery. Now the phone is in this condition~
"mediafire.com/convkey/d387/7slnddfxb3iai1b6g.jpg" add 3 W and a dot in front
That's forced download mode. Look under the battery for the correct model number and flash an appropriate ROM.
I fail to realise that this phone was different than the others. My bad. If how do i recover it then? Does this model has ICS?

Read, re-read. Everything you need is there.
Considering you don't say what the model actually is, how should I know if it has ICS?
So all that I have to do is flash a 2.3.6 STOCK ROM that is Appropriate to the I9100G. So in this mode, ODIN is still able to flash ROM right?
If you have an I9100G, yes, and it's already in download mode.

Hi
I received today my new SGS2 locked. I tryed to install firmware 3 files+pit so i can unlock it. At the pit file Odin stopped and after about 3 mins I unplugged the data cable.
Now I can't turn it on, charge or anything else!
Can anyone help me ?

Can you get it back into Download mode so you can re-flash firmware?
Why did you flash the pit in the first place? (All tutorials tell you not to do this)
If you cant get it to boot into anything (download or recovery) then I don't know if its possible to restore it...
You might also want to try taking the battery out and putting it back in again if you havent already
You install the wrong pit file .?????
What instructions are you following .
jje
It is possible to repartition but you would need the proper set of files that support it.
If i'm right (not sure though) you can do it with a set that contain the "_user_low_ship" in the pda name.
The download on samfirmware of the I9100XWKF1 does have this, containing odin 1.85, a 3 set for pda, modem and csc, and pit file.

Send it for a repair and hope it won't be a too costly one or the repair guys cannot turn it on either to find out you tried to flash a SGS firmware on it. Also Odin is now going in version 1.8x so you should update your flashing software too.

The JIGs are like £4 on ebay, so its worth a try, and if it doesnt work then you can sell it on or something.
USB jig any Odin should work flash stock firmware but follow instructions to the letter and read what you are doing first .
jjue
Good luck with the jig hopefully it will work and you can get your phone working again.
I am amazed it let you flash it as well being a totally different ROM!
Take the battery out then press and hold the power key for 10 seconds.
then press and hold home and vol down, do not let go of the keys while doing below
then insert the USB cable
then insert the battery
Does it now go into download mode and get recognised by the PC?
I went to a phone service and the guy there told me that the boot loader was completely erased, everything...there's nothing...

If the bootloader is gone then you would need special equipement to repair.
Sorry to say this but if there is no way to load the bootloader from sdcard or something then you are screwed.
I would like help from forum members.
After doing a root using the original firmware version, available here in the forum, my GS2 stopped working.
The device connects, the splash comes from Samsung (the one where the yellow triangle appears), but after that the screen goes black and nothing appears. Imagine turning on your PC but not booting in windows!
I can access the download mode and recovery mode. But nothing I do solves. I've tried putting other firmware versions but not resolved.
The Odin recognizes the device, the Kies not.
Another problem is that I do not know what was the original version of the firmware, but I know that the device was a French version, if that helps.

Well if you can't get it to work in any known way and you dont want to spend money to get it fixed , I'd say soft-brick it by enabling repartition in Odin and get a jig , then try again. You only lose 3-5$ that way. Don't get me wrong , it's the last thing you should try. What you probably should do is to take it to service.
I bought the usb jig must be delivered within 7 days.
But the jig is used to enter the download mode and reset the counter, right?
I can enter the download mode and recovery mode, I can even install any firmware version (official/CF). But none of that worked.
I believe it is with some corrupted file that is not connected to the firmware.
Or not!

Never tick repartition. You won't be able to bring it back that way. You can try soft bricking by unplugging the phone while flashing wih Odin but i still don't recommend it if you aren't able to boot even after flashing multiple roms. Service center would be your best bet

Or return to service centre .

As u have no clue of how to flash firmware, u need to read a lot (not that much).I would take it back to the story and tell them kies failed upgrade.In the mean time read here on how to flash, why cos' it's fun and improves your phone by a mile
I've been reading a lot about flashing, but I don't understand one thing, if I flash a original rom through odin I void my guarantee? or not?
I'm trying the recover firmware through kies but it's not recognizing my phone. I tried to put the phone in download mode and it works, otherwise the recover message appears everytime I turn on the device. but Kies does't recognize it.

Today I did the recover with other pc and everything went fine with kies recovery.

Original firmware is signed by Samsung so warranty is intact.
If youre rooted and a problem occurs.then use "triangle away" to reset flashcounter and flash a stock firmware with Odin.then off to the store with full warranty...
I didn't rooted my phone yet, I'm new to android, my first experience with Android was with my xperia x1 but was not stable so I moved again to wm. And then I changed to iOS and now I bought the sgs3. So I have the phone for about 1 month and now I'm still in the reading part. Then I will root.
My phone is an Italian one unlocked, and I have this firmware XXALF6, is this the last firmware? Because my problem started because I was trying to update, when I search for a new software on the phone I get this message to try with kies and when I tried, it got stuck and I don't know if this is the last firmware or not. I searched on sammobile and seems to be the last one.
Thank you for the info.

Hey guys,
I don't know what happened but I was trying to update my phone (GT-I9300) using Odin v3.07 and I'm getting stuck at NAND Write Start.
Also, I'm unable to boot into recovery mode.
Also, When I try to reboot my phone normally, I end up in downloading mode but without the counter and all those stats which are written in top left corner. Just plain simple downloading mode. I don't know what to do. Please help me out ASAP as my battery will die otherwise.
P.S. Phone's not charging!!! :'(

You were the one asking about hardbrick and now it seems you could have suffered one. What a fu**ed up coinsidence. Although for now it looks like a Soft-Brick
Ok first , how many % did your battery have when you started flashing?
Second, what Firmware did you flash and where did you get it (link would be good)?
The flashing counter looks good except the the System Status. It states custom which indicates that you changed the Firmware in some way which could void warranty but not always, depends on the carrier and the Service Center.

1) Around 50% but the amount of battery left is much much less than that. I can feel it.
2) XXDLJ4 from Sammobile. I can't find the link. But it was official firmware from UK.
I live in India. We don't have carrier specific phones yet. But I have no idea what service centre guys are going to say. I'm just gonna tell him that I was updating using kies and this happened.

XXDLJ4 is outdated and is from 2012. From what Google says it`s Android 4.1.1 . There are newer Firmwares around. The newest Firmware to my knowledge is XXEMC3. However it doesn`t matter what the Firmware is, it should work even if the Firmware is old. Do you still have the log from Odin? It would be good to see where Odin failed exactly. A screenshot would be great.

Nope I don`t think it`s charging. That`s why almost every flashing guide says that you should have a fully charged battery before you flash a ROM to your device.

Turn your phone off so the battery won`t die. Then download the latest Firmware and flash it the same way you did before. This is the only thing that you could do to my knowledge.
Do you have a Custom ROM on your phones internal or external SD? If yes you could follow up on BHARGAV33`s tip to flash CWM Recovery through Odin and then try to access Recovery and afterwards wipe data and flash a new ROM.

Doing that only for the some past hours. No, I'm unable to get into recovery in the way he said. I've already tried it. I searched around on forum & some people were able to tackle their issue by flashing a complete firmware with 3 files. I download the whole firmware which had 3 files but still no luck. I'm going crazy over here, should I just give my phone to Samsung Care and let them deal with it? Or is there anything left to try?
And BTW, I gotta ask, what exactly happens if someone ticks "NAND Erase All" in odin when flashing a firmware. I've not done this because according to me, it's not advisable to play with things which you don't know about.
1) So, what does "NAND Erase All" in odin do exactly?
2) Will it somehow be helpful in my situation?
3) Also, some people on XDA say that NAND Erase All hard bricks your phone & warranty is also void. Is this true?

2. Unable to do a hard reset, as the Volume-up+Home+Power doesn't work.
I am only able to get into download mode so I can reinstall stock ROM. So my question is, where do I find the stock ROM (I9300GSMH). Can't find it anywhere, and some of the suggested download locations seem to be down.
What can I do? Im a big noob in all of this, so any kind of help would be appreciated.

I read the SDS thread and Im sure that is my problem.
This to be exact:
"2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery. It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.
One problem Half SDS has is that the information download mode uses to show the status as "Official" appears to be wiped out by the bug, leaving your status as "Custom". This can leave you in a precarious position as this is what Samsung uses to establish warranty validity. You may also see your product field is blank."
My product field is blank and my status is custom. I cant boot into recovery and it fails on the boot screen leaving it on the samsung logo and staying like that.
My product field is blank and my status is custom. I cant boot into recovery and it fails on the boot screen leaving it on the samsung logo and staying like that.
You require a service centre repair .
Samsung may or may not reject as warranty .

Yes, I do believe you are right. Let's hope they do not reject my warranty
