Hi all

Recovery does not work either
What I have tried
flashing a stock rom
flashing a kernel
flashing bootloader
flashing unbrick file using ASB box
flashing the handset with SPT box
flashing .pit
repartion
---------------------------------
SPT box flashing log

My guess is that it is NAND rw problem, and I will have to wait for my riff box service cables to arrive, so I can jtag it back to life (I have the box, they forgot to ship the service cables)
Any ideas is appriciated
Best regards
You actually see the logo? Can you get into Download mode? Not recovery.
If not you either need to Jtag or she has somehow triggered the super brick bug. Then the device can't even be repaired with the RIFF box.

Yup, it is stuck at the Samsung GSII logo...
I can easily get into Download mode... But I have no recovery... Im thinking that it is a eMMC fault, I am trying to find a place to buy the eMMC and get it replaced/reballed
Well if you can get into Download mode, I'd suggest you try flashing the CM9 resurrection edition. It's the only "custom Rom installation package" I know that comes with everything to start from every base.
If it's really a broken emmc chip, you better have the knowledge to replace it yourself (or know someone who has). It's neither an easy nor cheap procedure.

I apparently only found the CWM files, instead of the tar, that's why I was talking about CWM... but it is still dead...
Okay, you must have misunderstood me... I know how to use Odin, I know how to recover from a Soft brick, I know how to recover from hardbricks using JTAG... I am not a noob

Hehe, it is just okay...
When I flashed the CM9 to it, I got the kernel panic uploade mode... So my guess is still NAND/eMMC fault...
Strange one. It seems like a hardware fault. Good luck with repairing that. Usually a motherboard replacement would be the way to go.
Can you check if you're able to get into stock recovery after flashing a stock ROM?
I have had similar problems on both SGS2 and on Gtab 8.9 after performing factory reset in latest CWM. The only solution was flashing a stock ROM and then factory reset from stock recovery (and then flashing whatever ROM I wanted to flash in the first place)
Could be worth trying.

It was a HW failure... I got it fixed under warranty, and they changed the PCB... Way more simple than changing the eMMC...

Had the same problem, stuck in logo. I tried flashing stock ROM, but it didn't save my situation. So I tried flashing CM9 Resurrection and managed to get into recovery mode. Then I reflashed the custom ROM I had earlier on and everything went up again. Thanks a lot.
same issue
I am also stuck at Samsung logo, i9100
I can get into recovery. I installed stock many times - no help. (I9100XWMS1_I9100XXMS4_I9100NEELS1_HOME.tar.md5)
I was missing my IMEI so I guess it is the efs folder fault.
I tried to fix the efs with backups, I have zipped EFS, but I can not go to system and replace the files.
If you have any ideas - please share it with me!
I also had a nandroid backup - no help as well.
my sgs2 is softbricked and I have download AND recovery mode, and still can't fix it ;(

follow the proper instructions in that link with the proper files for the US version, when using those files to recover you use Heimdall not ODIN, also make you have a good backup of your EFS.tar or you'll be like me after screwing around with the CM7 beta's and not have a lockscreen or powermenu.
Simple flashing the PIT and the "stock" .tar via Odin will NOT work, I assume your trying to use Odin because you say "with a ROM's PDA file" and there is no PDA box if you are doing what that link says to do for the US version.
That's exactly how I bricked my Galaxy Player 4. Except that I can't enter recovery or download mode. I have to enter download mode with Adam's Resurrector. I used Heimdall with those files and I keep getting error: failed to receive response. So I have no way to revive my player.

yea, he should do it at first after flashing right kernel and rom, factory reset, format cache, clean dalvik and fix permissions, if not through CWM, just manualy (adb console)
Mine is hard bricked, but I can still get into download mode with the resurrector. But when I try to flash the correct rom and kernel, I get the following error in Heimdall: "kernel upload failed", anyone how to fix this?
Thats just soft bricking ur fine go back to stock start over find the stock tar files

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310...
The sad thing is that, a while ago it stopped working and now it's stuck on the boot screen (Samsung GALAXY POCKET Neo GT-S5310)
I have tried to perform a factory reset through the built-in recovery mode (volume up + home + power), but unfortunately, I couldn't access the recovery mode and the phone goes directly to the boot screen.
And since the only thing I could do was accessing the Download Mode, so I tried to recover it by installing an official firmware with Odin3_v3.07... but it didn't solve the problem...
So what would you guys suggest?
can't delete this reply... could an admin please do it?

Cant boot to recovery
Hi sorry for the thread revival but I have run out of ideas. Same problem as OP. Odin flash is successful but stuck on samsung logo when trying to boot to recovery.
S5310i 4.4.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Anyone found a solution to this?
When you use Odin to flash, when it has finished, it always boot to recovery, there you have to wipe data and cache, then it works properly!

After flashing recovery with odin I am still stuck at the S5310 Neo splash screen unable to boot into recovery. Has this maybe got something to do with a conflict between android versions? As the S3510i comes with 4.4.2 stock, not 4.1.2.

Thanks for your help. Could you please explain more about this? Where would I find the pit file to flash? Do I tick re-partition in odin? Never flashed pit before. worried about bricking the device.
I am struggling to find the PIT file for my specific device (S5310i). its only on a handful of websites asking for paid subscriptions. Could anybody possible direct me to where I can find:
CORSICAVE3G_EUR_OPEN. Pit
I have downloaded the corsicass.pit and S5310_corsicass.pit but am not sure if this will work on any S5310 variant?
My phone just dead. It stucks on Samsung Logo. I made some researches, tried to flash orginal Rom but it did not work. Odin fails.
I ve tried to update from ADB, but it says Installation Aborted!.
I tried to install TWRP or other recovery images but couldnt via Odin. I used almost all different Odin versions or cables or computers.
As I read, this can be a hardware problem, like my motherbaord is dead. Bu I want to be sure about this. Cause if it is dead, I am gonna buy new one and try to install it.
I tried almost 5 different Roms but couldnt flash none of them. Always Odin fails. In download mode it says Knox Warranty Void: 1 and RP SWREV: A2. I dont know if Odin fails because of this.
If anyone can help that would be awesome. I ve tried to add pictures but it doesnt accept outside links.
At Recovery mode it says E: Failed to mount /efs , cache, recovery, last recovery (no such file or directory)
Sorry for bad english. Thanks.

have a look an that website. search for recovery firmware for your phone. it should give you the recovery 4 file firmware

only found this , but i can't download it :|
Can anyone help me with downloading that file?
don't know what's wrong with dev-host , but can't download it .. tried 3-4 different pc/mobile and networks, with no luck
Finally fixed problem.
1)So to boot device you need custom kernel like Aroma for 925P
2) to get out of continuous restarts because of samsung security, you need to instal custom recovery TWRP and then from recovery, mount system and from apps delete every folder with Knox in name and also samsung dm folders.
That's how i got my device back in working condition. i can't remember exact folder names, but keep digging and delete everything related to knox and dm
i've even got my imei number back, so seems like efs wasn't damaged "too much" and only samsung security apps messed them up or something like that.
Anyway my phone is working now , so if you will be in same situation you can use this as tutorial
And no Z3x and similar boxes were not able to fix this, two local guys tried with z3x and similar tools with no success
