How to solve that
I have an S2 Hercules T989... I tried upgrading it from 2.3.6 to 4.0 but when I flashed with Odin 3.18 it gave me that error message.
I have tried four or five times reflashing it, rebooting to download mode but still it stayed like that for 1 1/2 hours...
So, I got to visit another site, I couldnt remember that actually, but it talked about on how to upgrade S3 to latest version.
There, I downloaded the latest version of Odin, too, that's v4 I think, and when I tried again (first time with that version), it worked!
You don't need to actually redownload the file, but instead, try other odin versions, recommended to download and use the latest one coz it will be the safest way to upgrade your galaxy device. Hope this helps.

If Odin can detect your phone then you should be able to flash your phone with it regardless what the screen looks like.
Can you help me how to do it? I have Samsung Galaxy Gio S-5660 GT
If you will turn my phone on, I promise to pay you.

Well you said Odin detects your phone still right? You should be able to find Odin flashable firmware for your phone and flash as usual.

If Odin detects your phone then there might be a chance to flash a new rom to your device.
Go to samfirmware.com and find an rom/firmware for your phone... Then download it and flash it using one package techinque in odin. If you need more help post your phone model, it might help for better reply ...

Go to this link and get yourself a good rom/kenel that is for your region's device. Then try to flash it using one package option in ODIN in download mode.
You can also find a guide on flashing your rom @ samfirmware.com/guides.htm
Dear All,
I'm in a critical situation,My device is totally stopped working when I have tried to flash a custom ROM (I9100GJPKH8_i9100GDZKH5) to my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G but the process failed and can't go further even I'm not able to restart my device the only option to restart is to remove the battery and once i do that i got message telling me that "software update fail" and it won't allow me to go to ODIN menu.
I have searched the net for the original ROM for my device model but with no luck ( Original ROM is: I9100gzcki1_i9100gozhki1_chn)
I seek your help in order to get my device back to work.
Thank you
So you can't enter in recovery-mode? Do u have a USB-JIG?
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Yeah, I'm not able to go to recovery mode.

Thanks for reply

I don't think u can get a USB Jig fast. U need to buy it from eBay. Between Wer u from?

OK. If you can get into download mode (turn phone off. Then hold down the home button & the volume down button. Keep holding these down then hold down the power button), go to Sammobile & download a I9100G stock rom & flash this in Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for flashing stock roms downloaded from there.
If you can't get into download mode there's a slim chance a jig might get you into download mode.
There's a thread over in the General section where people have offered to let other people use their jigs. You might want to have a look at that thread & see if there's someone close to you who might be able to help you out rather than you buying a jig on eBay & waiting for it to turn up in the mail.
You can diy one.

If you tried to flash a custom rom ANYTHING other than Juffo rom based on DZJk2 for Gingerbread on a I9100G using odin and you cannot get into download mode... you probably soft bricked your phone.
Buy a USB-jig (basically a microUSB connected to a resistor, there are multiple videos on Youtube you can make one urself or order it online)
Insert the USB-jig into the phone while its powered off, and you should be able to get into download mode automatically.
Go find the original Stock rom and flash it back and look up how to properly backup/and root your device + using custom rom.
There are not many I9100G roms out there, theres the Juffo Rom and the Dark rom for "ICS experience" if i am correct, someone can correct me on this.
** if a USB jig does not turn your phone on or boot into download mode... and your phone is powered off... you hard bricked the phone, and should go see a JTAG service to unbrick your phone.
Galaxy rom rc3 works great. Try out with Lucifr 1.21kernel.

The hardware problem is between your ears .
One this is DEVELOPMENT post in Q&A .
Two you have followed instructions from XX forum why not ask them for advice .
Three are you sure you have i9100 phone as that PIT is not for this phone .
Likewise did you flash i9100 firmware .
You have a bricked phone .
Can you get to download mode if so flash a stock GB rom from stock rom thread to get the phone working .
No download mode two choices find a JTAG repair it will be cheaper than a Samsung repair . Alternative take to Samsung service and hope they dont charge but repair under warranty .

Here was mistake, Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 8. Why did you touch PIT button???
Pit.
When you flash tar you must not set pit for flashing. Remove battery for hour or more than put it back ,try to go in download mode , if that doesnt work find some usb jig to help you put the phone in download mode.
I'm sorry because posted here...and I thank you for you answer.
You may have right about the way I put the PIT file
can you please tell me where I can get the JTAG repair?

well, i risk my friends phone to try and root, i installed the wrong the all-in-one zip which will root and replace recovery with CMW .
It made me a soft bricked , cannot be boot or stuck at boot logo. and the recovery wont work. i tried the solution made by others that using odin3 executive v1.0.0. i went into download mode and start the button on odin3. on the half way. the message stops. i've force to unplug it and see weather it works . but then nothing happen. i can't even boot up the phone .
anyway , when i tried to connect it to the pc . the driver logo popup but installation of driver failed .
I wonder if USB JIG could help me go into download mode again .
help :crying::crying:
If you can manage getting USB jig try it... And if you cant i better recommend you jtag...
Anyways what u were flashing via odin?
Peace

Press and hold the power button to restart it. Does it still reboot into the Download mode?
If yes, then try and install a stock ROM.

custom binary download no (previously stated4)
current binary samsung official (said something different before)
system settings custom
i swear this is doing my head in :0
Basics as its very difficult to understand your posts .
Download mode first screen vol up .
Open Odin
Load firmware file as PDA
Connect USB cable
First box in Odin should show yellow then hit start .
Note at what point fails .

Put it on ebay just say what the problem is .
Someone who reads your post will come to the conclusion its just a user who has not followed the instructions annd may think its worth a cheap buy .
Odin is not firmware CF Root is not firmware .

Make sure that uve downloaded the correct CF-Root file (for i9300T and NOT i9300)... I think its nothing to do with SDS... Anyway try the following link and download the package again...
