You're not bricked...if your screen still shows Odin just pick the stock file and hit start..:thumbup:
You're only "bricked" these days if it won't turn on.

The flashing is not started yet. Odin is not getting a connection to your device. Are you actually in Download Mode?
Not hard-bricked.
Try restarting it.
@ rumirand
Just did. It restarted. Whew! Thanks for the help. I was concerned for a minute there. Had to re-root the player, though. That didn't take long.
@ Everyone....much respect for the replies. Got it working. Thanks, everyone!
Completely bricked YP-G70CW please help!
Hi, all, i beleive i have a completely bricked YP-G70cw galaxy player. I tried to flash a 2.3.5 rom with odin and the cable was pulled out by my overactive dog halfway through the process and now it just black screens. I cant get into download/recovery mode and only shows up in windows as 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' and cant load a driver. Im not sure what else i can do? Any help would be really appreciated.

ps. Sorry if i hijacked this thread
Well, if it shows up at all, it's not completely bricked. Try looking at the "unbrickable reaurrector" thread.

Try this thread. Read all the way through as I had a player that displayed the same info as yours when plugged into a PC... I used this guide and was able to revive it.

[Q] hang on a boot screen... same in recovery mode

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to search my problem around but cannot find any thread about this, sorry if I missed out something.
I'm using GT-I9100 for a year now, I was using custom rom Hydra-H2o. Today, I updated rom to version 1.4.1... the process was fine. When I booted up, set things done, I found the contact information was really really wrong, it kept updating wrong photos to wrong contacts.
So I decided to factory restore in the setting menu. The phone was rebooted and struct in the boot screen that has its name "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" and an ordinary yellow triangle.
Even charging my phone, a battery icon is loading and nothing appear to show me how much juice I have.
I tried to boot to recovery mode, still the same as normal boot. The only boot that is working is download mode.
Please help me, this phone is my buddy
Thanks
Ok you can get download mode, get a stock Rom, flash using Odin
If it boot loops, go to recovery and wipe data cache.
Should fix your problem
I will try
Thanks for now
Fixed! Thank you so so much!
lol, this is the first "i am bricked help!!!" thread that has a happy ending
gotta update my signature btw, i have an i9100

First of all wrong section.. there is another section for the Ace plus, but as you already have posted i shall tell u what to do.
Remove your phone's battery. After removing your battery hold the button combination for download mode and then put put your battery back into the phone this should make your phone boot in download mode. After it is in download mode, using Odin flash one of the stock firmwares into your phone.
Press thanks if I helped.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 will not turn on

Hi
My S3 is stuck on the initial screen that says Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300. It has been like that since I got up. If I press the on/off button nothing happens. If I press it for a long time it the screen goes of for about a second then the same screen appears. I tried taking the a battery out put it back in switched on and the same screen appears. When I connect the phone to my laptop my laptop does not recognise the phone.
Please help

Did you flash a rom from this forum? If so, your bricked.. This is the US version on Sprint (SPH-L710) Yours is the international version which can be found on this section here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563.
We get a few I9300 people in here and seems to be more often then not. Anything in here that is flashed my render your phone nothing more then a paperweight. Check the forums before flashing anything. (incase you did) Thank you and have a nice day.
Moved to I9300
Now that you have already flashed the wrong firmware.. Try the following..
If you have CWM... Flash any intended for your device.. Wipe data factory reset.. Try booting
If that is not working then..
Download the stock firmware.. Flash it using Odin.. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset... Then see if your device boots..

Stock ROM location?

Where can i find the stock rom for international GS-III? Honestly I have no idea where to find it. People say "download stock firmware" but they never put where it can be located. We need a firmware bible of some sort. Thanks if someone can help me out!

My s2 is stuck on some warning screen. Help needed.

Hello everyone. My Samsung Galaxy s2 has been stuck on some message. I'm not sure what it is but it looked like a phone and warning ugh point at a computer. I don't know how to revert it. Whenever I turn on my phone, it just goes to that page. I really need help. This occurred to me when I had turned off the phone in download mode. Now it's just like that. I would really appreciate some help and thanks to whoever that do.

Probably the warning says that the software update was interrupted, it can be fixed by booting into download mode (which would give the same Warning screen) and flash the stock rom with Odin.
