Dear friends,
I think i soft bricked my phone and i do not know what to do.
First i was on 2.3.6 (GB) Sensation N ROM (2.0). Then i desided to go for a stock ICS (4.0.4) and downloded I9100XWLPM (4.0.4) and flashed it with Odin (only PDA file). The flash was sucessfull but i didnt like to experiance of 4.0.4 (i was unable to reach my contacts through the numpad - phone.apk force closes) and i decided to go back to Offical GB (2.3.6) firmware. I flashed with Odin
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XILA3_I9100XWKI1_I9100XEUKH2 firmware and the flash was suceful. But after restart it gives me force closes on the first boot screen (Google Services framework, Softaware update aplocation) and self restarts and then the same again.
Then i flashed with Odin the "new" GB Bootloader GT-I9100 and the same file again but the result was the same. And then something hapened and i did not manage to flash any more with Odin (flash unsucessful ).
So then i flashed again with the follwing PIT file (i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-stock.pit) and the
PDA (GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XILA3_I9100XWKI1_I9100XEUKH2.tar.md5) and the flash was sucesfull but i have the same problems with the force closes on the first boot screen.
I am out of ideas and do not know how to proceed.
Any help will be apreciated!

Anybody can say me that I need to reflash?
And provide link to download and string name in Odin
Another problem, I cannot update firmware. I lived in canada and to activate phone I need to be in states.
That's an old CWM. You want the new CWM for all ROMs. Can't post a link, but it's in the devs forum by jt. Flash the Odin file and you should be fine.

Its latest cwmr 3.0.0.8
But... I can only run it if I choose "reboot into recovery" from rom manager.
3 buttons or adb reboot recovery or even reboot recovery from advanced menu of cwmr start samsung e2 recovery. Is it correct? How to access cwmr if I will not be able to boot?

Big problem...
After flashing 9.3 on SGS2 without wiping i rebooted in cwm and flashed siyah 2.6.2.
After that the phone stuck on the omega logo and did not boot.
I rebooted into CWM wiped cache/davlic etc and i tryed to reflash the 9.3 and the siyah.
After that i tryed to flash the kernel but the phone restarted itself and since then it doesnt boot at all neither in CWM or into android.
Only in download mode and it's not recognized by ODIN or kies.

1) Get the right CF Kernel from the Chainfire kernel thread in the Android Original Development Thread. Extract the zip to get a TAR and extract the TAR to get a z-image file. Also download the corresponding original stock kernel from the Intratech thread in the same section.
2) Flash the TAR in PDA using Odin. Do not click repartition. This lets you boot with with functional Root and CWM.
3) If you want to get rid of the yellow triangle, then load the z-image file into /sdcard. Reboot into download mode and use Odin to flash the stock kernel (again in the PDA without repartition). After that, go to the CWM app, choose flash kernel and locate the zimage and proceed.
NB: You can read Chainfire and Intratechs threads in case I was vague somewhere.
Thanks mate but i already know and did all these.
The thing is what i do in order to bring my phone back to life.
What is 9.3 you flashed ???
Kies: The device is not responding.
Why are you using KIES to flash a rom is it open and preventing Odin from working .
jje
Are you saying Odin does it doesn't recognise your phone?
In the past Odin flashing has gone wrong and can usually be fixed by a PC reboot or rebooting into download mode again.

9.3 = Omega 9.3 rom.
No i'm not.
I installed kies to see if the phone is recognized. After i realized that it's not i uninstalled the kies.
The thing is that odin sees my phone but stacks at <ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!
With 115 posts no reason for you not to ask in the rom thread as its possible its rom specific .
Dont think it is but worth a try .
Choices try Odin on another PC .
Take phone to service centre and hope it is not an expensive repair .
Buy a JTag machine .
jje
Just tryed odin on another pc and i got the same result...
i had the same problem and tried flashing the PIT thinking it might do something, but ended up fully bricked. couldnt power on anymore. only way is to JTAG it now, if odin cant flash it.
read this thread maybe it can help

Were you flashing using Odin without Kies installed? As far as i'm aware Kies must be installed but not running to flash with Odin.
Nothing worked
The phone is off to Samsung service.
Thanks for your help people.
Hi, after trying out some custom roms like CM9-10 and Omega my phone suddenly started rebooting. It lets me enter the PIN and starts up but after a qouple of seconds it reboots again.
The wierd part is that it autostarts after I insert the battery, but I can enter both CWM and Download mode.
I have tried enter CWM and do a wipe but phone reboots in the middle of the process, same goes when trying to flash CM9 or any other rom I have on the internal SD.
I have also tried following a Swedish guide to restore it to stock using Odin, but after adding the PDA and pressing start I get a Fail in Odin to, something about NAND write fails.
Does anyone have a solution for me? Should I tick re-partition or do something other in Odin?
I would suggest boot into recovery. Wipe Dalvik cache. Flash Rom. Wipe both caches. reboot.

Well I think so, it was sold in Sweden.
The problem is that it reboots doing most of the actions in CWM, I think I have managed to wipe Dalvik but as soon as I try to install a rom it just reboots.
I also tried rooting again using Odin 1.85 but it fails with that version too.

If all else fails get yourself a S3 USB Jig. I bought one, funnily enough it arrived today from Hong Kong and it only cost something like 2,50€ delivered free. Then install a stock rom.

If your Nand is corrupt i dont think you can get out of it......99 percent of the time if you can get into download mode your good. but if you having Nand Write issues, i dont know if there is a coming back from that.
hope thats not the case and another member can shed some better light on the subject.

Could you post a link to that thread? I found this one and have tried flashing some of the PIT-files but it does not work. Or should I flash some other files at the same time?
Ok, following one guide witch seams to fix my problem is that I need a 3-part firmware. Every Firmware I have downloaded contains:
boot, cache, hidden, modem, recovery, system -if I extract them one extra time. Is that right? Where should I load them in odin in that case? If not could anyone direct me to a download-page for 3-part firmwares? (I downloaded the last one from samfirmware.com)
It is very strange that the core functions kind of work as I can boot normaly into the system and even run an app if I am fast, then reboot.
Downloadmode works untill I try to flash something.
CWM works until I try to do a Wipe or flash a rom, I can wipe dalvik and some other stuff, but not cache, data and some other. I noticed that You could partition sdcard from CWM should I try that? and if so what should i select in the next screen about partition size?
Guys help..

Before flashing, make sure you have all necessary drivers installed and that you have more than 50% (30% is the absolute minimum) of battery left. Then download a ROM (I.e. from sammobile.com/firmware) and make sure that is is the right ROM for your device. If you download something that is for a different device, you may end up bricking it.
Then boot your phone into Odin mode (I think you know how to do that?) and connect the phone to your PC. Wait for the PC to recognize the device as a serial CDC (That's what Windows 7 and Vista usually show) and then wait for Odin to recognize the device. Then (If you have not already) load all the files into Odin (PDA - ROM and kernel, Modem - Phone, CSC - CSC) and hit "Start".
Then it should download fine. If you are still having trouble, feel free to PM me and I'll gladly help via TeamViewer

Sound to me like Kies was running in the background while you made the Odin flash.....you must disable Kies before using Odin
No Kies was not running in the backgorund..
Could it be, because I was going from 4.1.2 down to 4.0.1 for example? It is a old firmware..
I solved my problem with installing an Omega Rom v43, but I still want to back to original firmware..
what does the log say?
I dont now how to look at the log..
Can I just flash the original firmware even that I am on a Omega firmware?

The new 4.1.2 bootloader (I assume you have it, unless you specifically replaced it with the older one) will blacklist older bootloaders and prevent them from being installed. This might be part of the problem.
Hi, could anyone tell me please what i can do with bootlooping S3? It happened on version of CM11 rom, it was workin fine until this one time i plug it to charge it and from then it is just staying on galaxy S3 logo. I can get to download mode and recovery mode but odin wont flash anything and in cwm (touch recovery 6.0.4.4) it says that it cannot mount anything and errors and partition fails.

First of all READ. As everybody is saying Ok first question, when You go download mode can you see model name - 9300GT ? If so that means everygthing is solveable.
Next you have messed something and You need to step by step check it. If You want to still work on CM11 you need to flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to make sure that on the level of recovery everything is ok.

Thx for reply. So i can see model name in download mode GT-9300 and as you said i try to flash that kernel...
