i dont have the phone with me at the moment, but im almost positive it wont boot into download mode, i cant even get it into cwm
Fassies are just about unbrickable.. unless you have some sort of hardware issue. Its been the case for me more than once where I bricked my device and couldn't get into recovery but download mode worked just fine. Just hold volume down as you plug your device into your PC.
EDIT: For clear instructions to put your fassy into download mode

Go to droidstyles guide in the general section. Forget what the others said.

? Forget what I said? I was telling him just because he cannot get into cwm does not mean he cannot get into download mode... yes, aside from that follow droidstyle's guide but he replied after instruction that he was sure he couldn't get into download mode.

And the guide will say exactly this: download mode, Odin, CWM4 fixed for CM7, then if you want to be on a current ICS build flash THS build one or two followed by whatever build you want... Hardly misinformation.

Also, the OP is a complete noob..no offense..said he don't even have the phone on him. But is sure he can't boot into download mode (his reason)" because it wont even boot cwm".. The only thing I think is wrong with his phone is a severe case of lack of research and reading. My prescription is droidstyles guide...
PS. Download mode is initiated by plugging the phone into the computer with the battery out and while holding "down Volume"..

Hello, it's me again
As I showed you, with your GNex, just flash the stock firmware, via Odi (This time, not with fastboot) ^^
Check out this website, and download the desired ROM, there... Sammobile.com/firmware/

Every phone is easiliy brickable, if you press the wrong button/type/perform the wrong command, at the wrong time.
I've bricked my SGS II just by reboooting it, into Odin download mode ^^
You just need to flash the phone/wipe the phone, in the wrong moment (Example: When it's updating the factory binaries).
And, if a collegue of mine, can brick an old (2003 model) Nokia, then this can brick aswell ^^
I've been running Hyperdrive rom on CWM, and decided I wanted to try Illusion. So I rebooted into recovery, deleted cache and data, then installed the Illusion rom. At the end a yellow triangle popped up telling me that the software was insecure or something, and told me to go to a Verizon store.
I read that this was due to the kernel not being loki'd, so like an idiot I went back to Odin and flashed a kernel.
Soon after my screen went black, but I could hear the sounds of me raising/lowering the volume and turning the screen on and off.
I took the battery out and put it back in, and now all I see is an empty battery imposed on a black background with a frozen loading-circle int he middle.
Have I bricked my phone?
Edit:
When I unplug the phone from my computer and turn it on I see the Samsung boot-up along with the word Custom and unlocked icon above it. From there all I get is a black screen.
I can hold the lock+home+lower volume keys and I get the "Press volume up key if you want to download a custom OS" and "Volume down to cancel (restart phone)" screen, then the little green android shows up. Is there anything I can do from here?
You likely have "soft bricked" it, as long as you can still access it with odin or push files to it with adb you are not hard bricked... if you can, get the current verizon firmware from Sammobile.com and flash that with odin. This or fastboot are your best options. Take your time. Dont make things worse by trying things without reading completely. As long as you can flash and see it from adb or odin you can get it fixed up. Good luck

1. "USA" isn't listed in both "Galaxy S 4" or "Galaxy S 4 LTE" on Sammobile
2. So I reboot into download mode, connect phone to pc, run odin, and flash PDA?

No problem. I don't know how familiar you are with Odin but reading the original post closely and following any guides posted would be a good idea. Once you've used Odin once it's very easy....scary the first time.

Try booting into recovery and wiping data. You may have to pull the battery to get it into recovery.

Yes, I'm watching this thread eagerly haha, I would like to fix my phone
So I held power+volume up+home and entered stock recovery. I chose the option "wipe data/factory reset" and afterwards rebooted the system, but to no avail. I'm going to try again right now, wiping the cache partition as well.
Edit: Ah! After I wiped the cache my system auto-rebooted and it successfully booted up. Factory settings!

There you go! You have to be careful with Odin because if you do something incorrectly you can totally brick your phone.

The other day I used the method tomsgt123 show in YouTube video with vroot. Root successful. However when I then downloaded goomanager and I installed to openscript, then I Rebooted to recovery the phone would not reboot properly(I got the green DROID dude and a message that phone can not boot to normal mode.) I then tried several time manually enter recovery mode to no avail. Same screen every time. I can get the phone operating normally by tapping volume down. I'm thinking that I need to fix this so my root will be worthwhile. Can someone help this noob out?
Thanks in advance.

Do you do a battery pull? When you turn the phone on, hold power and volume down (?) to boot into download mode. Then just cancel. It will get you out of that loop.
I found this suggestion too, Im not sure if that is from pulled battery state or not
hold the power button and the down volume key and it should ask you if you want to install a custom os or not and then you just hit cancel and it will boot regularly

Yes I am doing battery pull. Otherwise at the DROID dude I can not power down with power button.
I have already used the that approach. I did not explain as detailed as I should have. I can get the phone to boot up normally but I can not get to a place where I can flash. At least I think that's what I am trying to do.

Ok, I might have missed something but, the point of rooting is not to just be able to say you are rooted and restart your phone? As I understand it you should reboot to a recovery mode that then allows you to flash rom's and themes and other cool custom stuff. And most importantly allow me to delete bloatware. I don't seem to be able to do this with where I am right now.

You have no recovery to boot into...The only option to load any roms is to use safestrap. Safestrap is a type of recovery. HD11 is the only rom available to use. You really need to do some reading of these forums to understand what you can and can't do. Plenty of threads and posts

Exactly! Just because you have root doesn't mean you automatically get recovery. Root is the first, and most times, easiest step.

There is so much amazing information on this forum that it is hard to know where to start reading and if you did a teary in the right place. I took a leap of faith after reading and watching videos. So I guess my next step is to read more about safestrap and a few other areas I've been pointed towards.
Sometimes knowing where to start is more important than knowing where you are going. Thanks for all your efforts.
I like many others was having an issue rooting my Note 3 so I figured I'd post a temporary fix until the official Method Comes along Freeza, Twrp Team, CF Root And Others.
WARNING! I am not responsible if you Brick your phone or any damage that may inccur.
Step 1. Download Odin/ CF-Root http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
Step 2. Download Engineering Bootloader N900PVPUCNAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50489993&postcount=1
Step 3 Download Twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50333147&postcount=398
Step 4. Open Odin & (Put the Phone into Download Mode)
Step 5. Install Engineering Bootloader (In the Bootloader Section)
Step 6. Reboot Phone & Put it back into download mode & Install Tar File that Came with Odin
Step 7. Reboot Phone and Put back into download mode and Install the TWRP Download file
Thats it Hope this helps
======================================================================================
IF YOUR PHONE IS STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If you're phone is currently in a bootloop from trying to root earlier in order to get your phone back working all you need to do is pull the battery. Turn the phone on in Download mode and press the Vol Down key to cancel and your phone will boot like normal
Simple enough lol.. very nice!

You need to follow the guidance in the stock tar NAB thread, and hit the OP of the NABD discussion thread in the general forum for the latest info on migrating from MJ4 to stock NAB...
You will need to simply throw that tar file from the dev forum onto PC Odin, no pit file needed, and just flash it. You'll be stock NAB.
You may want to backup all storage, and factory reset your phone whilst in MJ4, prior to flashing, for good measure, but probably unnecessary. That probably part is why I suggest it.

Two things, When I got into recovery I get "Seandroid" in red letters, but it still goes into TWRP.
Also, i flashed a .zip of "SuperSU", is that my problem?
When I boot up phone, Supersu says there is no su binary, and root checker app says not rooted.

Hi,
I am trying to flash my S2 using Odin, and no matter what I try I always get the same result.
It doesn't work.
The phone will go in to the mod where I press the volume down button, home and power, but if I try to press up, home and power notkinh happens.
It all started a few days a go when it started getting stuck in a loop, just showing samsung mobile logo and it won't go further than that.
When I start Odin, it recognises the device, starts normally, and then it says Complete(Write) operation failed.
I've attached a screenshot, please help if you can.
If I try adding the pit file then the situation in the second picture happens, it goes on and on and on..
thank you in advance

You tried to flash an s3 kernal. There's an s2 kernel, check everything before flashing. You are lucky the phone didn't bricked.

Check if you have kies running in the background. Kill any instant of kies. Or some software such as bluestacks.
Then try again. It takes only less than 1 minute or so for kernal flashing

Search for @Hopper8s guide "troubleshooting a failed Odin flash".
It's stickey'd in the S2 general section.......
It has ALL the info (and resources/links/downloads) clearly laid out, that you could ever possibly need to restore your S2 to life........

Flash 4.1.2 stock with Odin. See if it boots up. If not factory reset in recovery and see if it boots. For root flash philz kernel either in stock recovery or with Odin. Like its been pointed out by mb...you will be lucky if you haven't damaged it beyond "flashing something to fix it" repair.
Also why are you using a pit file??!??!?
