I assume you were flashing with ODIN and therefore that you are familiar with it. If not just don't go ahead; do some reading instead .
Put your phone into download mode and make absolutely sure Kies is not running. Start ODIN, then connect the phone by USB. Does ODIN detect the phone?

I made sure Kies is not running, checked all the process under task manager.
Yes i am using ODIN1.85, it detects my phone but flashing fails, i think because i had XXLPS already and now i am trying to flash XXLPQ.
I actually wanted to flash CM9, and the procedure i found online said i must have XXLPQ, and for that i must have LP7 and clockwork recovery.
Try to go into recovery and wipe data + cache and format /system. Finally flash a rom in odin
If it fails, try odin and reparation with pit.
If no go, it is a physical damage in partition. RMA

Every phone has recovery. Power off, hold down the volume up, home, and power buttons. When your see the screen come on, let go of power, but keep holding home and volume up.
To find out your exact model number, look on the label under the battery.

You sure you have an i9100 now? You're currently active in another thread that is specific for i9100G.
In any case, if you keep going down the road of using a .pit file, make sure you use one for your specific model.
Look in the stickies in Q&A, there is a guide for fixing unflashable GSII by phistashio, I think his name is. There are .pit files there, I believe.
Thanks for all your support guys.
I managed to recover my Galaxy SII I9100 using phistasio's guide.
I do have a similar problem
Hello.
Sorry for taking your time. And for my bad english.
I'm from Lisbon, Portugal and bought a I9100 in May 2011, in a big store that imports cells from Germany.
Trought kies, i've been able to upgrade my I9100 firmware.
Last month i installed an anti-virus (kaspersky). A week later, I was able to uninstall it with Uninstaller App. It was not a good idea - each time i opened the display, I needed to put my password. I was told about this site, where I saw the brand new I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8, and decided to make an upgrade. Used Odin, and... all right. But, each time I enter kies to see if there was an upgrade, a window apears saying it was not possible to make an upgrade trought kies. To be able to do future upgrades, I tried to change my csc (DBT) to btu, or xeu, but, with samsung galaxy 2/s2 csc, the only csc it showed was dbt (the german csc). So, I tried to put another firmware - this one, from Germany. I found it in this site - I9100GXXLPY_I9100GXXLPV_I9100GDBTLP3.
I put my device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power) -> Wipe Data/Factory reset. WHEN THE PHONE WAS OPENING, I took out the battery & put it back in -> put my device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power) -> put my device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power) -> clicked PDA and selected *.tar.md5 and clicked START.
After some moments, I got a message of FAIL.
Now, if I try to enter Recovery Mode, I receive a message saying - "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". And, to be able to put this message off, must take the battery out.What did I do wrong? What shall I do?
I know your time is precious to be wasted with this problem. But, please, will you help me?
I thank you very much.

You flashed an i9100G firmware to an i9100. Firmwares are not compatible between these variants.
You also were basing your desire to upgrade on the existence of a firmware for the i9300, which is the galaxy s3.
Thanks, ctomgee

I thank you for your great help.
I saw my mistakes: the new brand firmware I installed was, not I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_I9300XXLG8; but I9100XWLPT_I9100XXLQ6_I9100XEULPA. So, I reinstalled this last one, and the cell is fine
Thank you.
But I'd like to make a very last question - as I said, the cell is fine, but... I'm not able to upgrade it's firmware using Kies. I think it's because the store where I bought my I9100 imported it from Germany - so, its csc is DBT. The csc from the firmware I installed is XEU - don't understand why, but, when I open Kies, in the csc place, it says DBT. I tried to use the CSC Select app, to choose BUT or XEU. but I have no choice - the only csc there is DBT,
As you know all about Android world, could you tell me what shall I do to be able to get upgrades from Kies?
Once again, sorry for my bad english and thank you very much for your help.

Hi you guys
This is what happend for me.
Today Kies was updatet to a new version as well as in denmark we got acces to a new firmware
XWKF4
PDA: KF3
PHONE: KE7
CSC: KF1,
and off cause I wanted to update my device.
During the update Kies got a failure and i disconected my phone..
Now when i turn on the device i get a logo with: computer -- a orange triangle -- phone.
when i use both (volume UP + home + power) and just the power button
If i try to recover the phone using kies it just stops during the firmware recovery process at random %
I left it on the recovery at for instannce 10% and came back 2 hours later and it did not move on
And sometimes i get a korean/china/whatever message cant post a link to the picture because this is my first thread
im able to get into the "odin download mode " (volume down + home + power)
And i would really like to just get my phone back on track on the newest stock rom. This is my first android device so i not sure if its smart for me to play with custom roms yet. I dont want to void the warrenty, and im not sure if i understand everything yet
Can you help me 2 get my phone back on track?
Download this one: http://www.multiupload.com/8QERBJT6P7
It's the KF3 update with NEE CSC (the one you tried to update to )
Flash as PDA in Odin
BTW. the file is found in this thread: [ROM + Guide]Official i9100 KE7/KE8/KF1/KF3/KF4/KF2/KF3 download and Root Guide.
this works for telia?
Ill try to se if i can figure it out..
Telia doesn't brand their phones. So it will definitely work. There's a flash guide in the link I gave you before.

Hi!
A friend of mine has a Samsung Galaxy SII with a CM nightly installed. He upgrades the ROM a few days ago and he lost the SIM unlock that I previously made to the phone.
We tried to re-unlock the device, but we can not.
I think that a possible good way to solve the problem is to flash an official ROM from Samsung and then, root it again, unlock again and, if all the previous steps are OK, flash (or not) a new custom ROM (CM or maybe Paranoid).
I'm downloading the latest ROM for SGS2 for our country (Spain), and we have Odin ready to be used, but I cannot find any thread on this forum that explains, step by step, how to flash an official ROM.
In addition, do you have any other idea to fix my friend's mobile instead flashing an official ROM?
Best regards
P.S. I already found a post for flashing the latest stock ROMs. Sorry!
I find it really hard to believe that you've searched and found nothing when it comes to a Odin guide.
Odin is a popular software and it's problems have been covered several times..
Do you know what download mode is?

Hi!First of all, download this firmware.It's Android 4.0.3 XWLP7.After it finished downloading,extract it,so you will have a .tar.md5 file,and then open Odin.Make sure Kies is stopped.Then,on your mobile:make sure it's charged,and in Settings enable USB debugging.Then enter Download Mode(Hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN buttons together until it enters download mode). Now connect it to your PC.In Odin,Click PDA,and select the extracted firmware file.Make sure "Re-Partiton" and "Flash Lock" are unticked.Then Click start.It will take ~ 5 min. to flash the new ROM.After completed,disconnect it from PC.It maybe won't boot/it will be stuck in bootloop.Now enter Recovery(hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP buttons,until it restarts and shows up the "Galaxy S2 GT-I9100" screen.Now let the buttons go.In recovery(you can navigate with VOL UP/VOL DOWN buttons , and select with POWER button) select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset",or something similar.Select yes.It will take ~ 3-8 min. to wipe.That's it,you have restored your Galaxy S2! At the boot,it may ask for ask for an unlock code.Click cancel. If you want to unlock it,then download this app([root] Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock).Click SIM Unlock code,write it down,and once it asks for the code at reboot,type it in.If you want to root it,follow along.Download this file,and put it on your phone`s EXTERNAL SD! card.Now reboot into Recovery.In recovery,select "Install update from external storage", or something similar,and search the downloaded file.Install it.Now reboot.You don't have to wipe anything.That's it!

Thanks for your explanation, it is very complete. I made the same, but with a newer stock ROM (a 4.1.2 one), and I got it installed and rooted with PhillZ method.
The problem is that I cannot unlock the SIM: I tried with the program you suggested me, and it doesn't work: it brings me a code, but when I enter it, it doesn't work.
I tried other programs like Galaxy_S Unlock or GalaxSim Unlock, but I'm not able to get it unlocked. What can the problem be?
Edit: I "close" this thread and re-open it with a better explanation on the current situation and the real problem now.

Finally I got it working for my friend: he paid the 3€ for using the GalaxSIM unlock and it works fine. I installed the latest CM 10.1 nighly and he is happy again. A week without its mobile fully working... patient guy

No wonder it took both of you a week to fix lol.Youd be better to read this section for a week to see the problems that can arise with flashing anything.

My GT-I9300 international galaxy S3 decided yesterday to brick itself, all of a sudden its stuck at the boot screen (white samsung ... text).
Tried to reboot into recovery but no go, when i hold the buttons it just continues to reboot and reboot, only showing the white text.
Tried to reboot into download and that worked, i though fhew, i got a berak and not all is lost.
In download mode it says current binary Samsung official even though i rooted and changed rom...
Product name is blank, Custom bin download is no, status is custom.
Tried to recover with kies but it complains that it cannot install new firmware (after it downloads the firmware, extracts, and all instruction followed).
Tried with odin (several original roms with my region and the one from kies) but with no luck, odin complains "There is no PIT partition.".
Tried to repartition with GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but then it does SET pit and hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
Is there any chance to save my phone ? I'm getting really desperate here.
Product name blank = sds. Only samsung service Centre can repair

Hm, it worked for me once , try connecting it to odin in downlode mode and try installing cmd form there, it should work and help you get your phone back. Since original rom is not working. If that wont work then i am not sure. i need to get a better understand of what you did to it,for the phone to go into brick mode.

Heyy everyone , how y'all feeling , good ?
my friend in college got this phone and he tried to be a pro and install a ROM by himself so he i dunno what he actually did, he just gave it to me like, i got ODIN v3.0.7, and installed Drivers and also i'm looking for a firmware which include Arabic Language 4.1.2 or 4.0.3 doesn't matter,
Phone is GT-I9100G dunno the else cuz can't open it and can't enter Download mode, so please help
And i'm kinda noob with the Galaxy phones, have xperia x10 tho lol
You're probably doing it wrong. Download mode = phone off - home/volume down/power. I'd keep trying it over & over & over if I were you, because this is the only way you're fixing it; getting into download mode & flashing a stock rom with Odin. Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode (phone off - home/volume up/power) ? If you can, do a wipe/factory reset.
You could also try a jig to get into download mode.
Edit - Re: your question about firmware/language, go get stock firmware for country/region & carrier from Samfirmware. Make sure you only download firmware specifically for I9100G or you'll end up with a permanently busted phone. If you were referring to custom firmware, go read the rom threads in the development sections or do a search.

Hello,
I've purchased a Galaxy Tab S6 (SM-T865N) International version, mainly to use it with with 4G in US on Xfinity Mobile. I received the tablet, inserted the SIM card and it was working 'relatively' on the network. Every now & then I would get a message 'failed to register to network', but for the most part, mobile data is working.
Since it is a Korea version, certain things don't work. Nothing major, but I would like to make it perfect. Certain User update posts in the Galaxy store display in Korean Language, and the weather app is slightly limited, with the error 'not available outside of Korea'.
I did some searching and found other firmware available for this exact model on Sammobile. My country (US) is not supported, but I would like to try the UK firmware, if nothing else, to fix some of the language issues. I downloaded the UK firmware package and Odin (3.13 & 3.14.1). I installed the Samsung drivers. I booted the tablet into recovery by holding 'power & volume up' then connected it to the computer. Odin WILL NOT found the tablet. I rebooted into the normal OS and connected it and Odin then found it, but obviously that doesn't work. I can not get Odin to connect while in recovery.
Does anyone have suggestions on what might be happening?
And maybe all this effort isn't worth it either, hard telling whether it'll work better or worse with the UK firmware on it. Any tips?
It's been several years since I did this sort of thing, so I'm a little rusty. I thought this would be a simple procedure.
it sounds to me like you are not putting it into download / Odin mode, but I could be wrong. I haven't tried to use Odin on this tablet yet, but was actually about to do this same thing as well, as my device has an origin CSC of singapore, and hasn't had an official update in almost 2 months, so I was going to flash the UK version as well.
---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------
So I just tested it on my tablet, here is what you need to do:
Power off the device
Press and hold the Volume up button and then press and hold the power button
When you see the initial boot screen, release the power button, but keep holding volume button
When you get to the recovery screen, you need to use the volume up / down buttons to highlight the option that has "bootloader" in the title, and press the power button to select it.
Then you should see a screen that says "Download" or something like that.
Plug in USB, and Odin should see the device.
Yeah, you're booting into recovery, you need to boot into Download mode - Hold both volume up and down whilst inserting the USB-C cable to enter Download mode.
Your correct

Your Correct. Device needs to be plugged into the pc for it to boot to the screen that shows all the info. I wonder why they made this a requirement. Its very unintuitive. I also didn't see it documented anywhere. How did you find out about this ? Thanks again for the help!

You wouldn't happen to have that firmwire file handy / a way to share it online would you? Sammobile's free download server is down right now, and I was going to try to flash it this weekend.

Your Correct. Device needs to be plugged into the pc for it to boot to the screen that shows all the info. I wonder why they made this a requirement. Its very unintuitive. I also didn't see it documented anywhere. How did you find out about this ? Thanks again for the help!

I did a lot of reading before I rooted this Tab and that piece of Info came from This thread.

Sorry, I dont. I meant to make that post in another thread. I have not flashed anything on my device yet.
I have the same Korean model SM-T865N 4G LTE version with the latest firmware.
Can I flash it using Odin with the latest frimware for UAE?
I mean the one with CSC code XSG (XSG - United Arab Em)
AP VERSION T865XXU2BTC7
CSC VERSION T865OJM2BTC7
Besides i have another issue with my speakers as they are not working for some reason? I tried reset both soft and hard without luck. It always get stuck on rebooting many times but after many times i got it to reboot BUT i can only have sound from bluetooth headphones!!

Did you able to flash that firmware on your tablet?
IF you mean did I succeed in flashing it through Odin then yes BUT unfortunately I couldn't get it to reboot correctly & it takes a lot of time trying to reboot but still no luck. So, I took it to a repair shop & they told me it needs new motherboard !! How can this be even possible IF I still can get it to connect to Odin and download the firmware successfully BUT no luck in getting it to reboot correctly!!

Have you tried reflashing the old firmware of your country? Weird that its not working.
I did try that and managed to flash it successfully to the old firmware using Odin but unfortunately I still couldn't get it past a full reboot as it got stuck after a long time and it takes me to the Android System Recovery screen wherein also tried to 'wipe cache partition.’ and try reboot again but I still end up with the recovery screen!

Can't you put in a warranty claim ? Here where i am based i had a new battery, and new screen installed from samsung! this was a Galaxy S8+ was well over 2 years old they did it for free! New screen and new battery! My Note 9 is going this monday for a new battery my Tab S6 works flawlessly so don't need to send that in! but i'm sure if you ring up Samsung they will replace the motherboard for free as it's not even 12 months old!
