I'm on the US wifi 10.1
I was flashing the UK ICS stock odin image but got stuck on the glowing samsung logo.
I read to fix this, you have to wipe data/cache via stock recovery.
What I didn't know that this would erase everything.
I thought it was like wiping via CWM.
Does anyone know a way to recover any files?
I've been doing research for quite awhile now without luck.

I am selling my old galaxy s due to having a new phone and I have made it freeze when it boots.
It was flashed onto myICS when I was using it and before handing It over I wanted to wipe everything so it was clean for the new owner. I did this in the phone options and then also in recovery mode to make sure, but after rebooting it is just stuck at the galaxy s boot loader.
I tried flash another Rom onto it and the same thing happened even though odin said it was successful.
I'm not sure what to do now as I am scared of truly bricking the phone so I am asking what should I do to get it up and running again?
Thanks
hmm
it should work after reflashing and whiping data/cash in recovery mode
No luck with it.
I tried wipe data and reboot and had no luck. Then tried reflashing, wiping data and still no luck.
Do you think it might be something with the kernal thatI had installed with the myICS rom, not being compatable with the rom I was flashing to?

Didn't you format partitions before flashing? Have you tried doing a fully clean install?
did u try to flash a stock rom via odin
Hi everyone,
So after i flashed LQ5, my phone got stuck when i tried to wipe data. After that i took the battery out and put it back but the phone wouldn't boot.
I then tried to wipe data with another kernel i flashed through odin, no luck, couldn't wipe data either.
I ended flashing XXLPH, and the flash went well. But it still won't boot and i can't wipe data either.
I think i may have emmc bricked my phone, but the people that bricked it this way don't seem to be able to access download mod or recovery.
So here's my question, is my phone definitely bricked or is there something else i could try?
Thank you for reading me.

good luck
if you can boot into download mode its not emmc brick
just flash an older ICS official build with the old pit file and you should be OK
Hey all,
I bought my phone back in USA (i9300) and I decided to flash my carrier's latest ROM (ELL6) so I downloaded it and flashed away with odin.
Everything went great, except that my phone is now bootlopping between carrier's bootanim and samsung's. I already tried to flash it again.
I was coming from CM10.1 official and had recovery 6.0.2.8.
What can I do to fix this?
thanks!
ok nevermind, fixed it by going to stock recovery (volup+home+pwr) and wiping data / factory defaults.

wipe data a factory reset, if that doesn't work then reflash rom again.
If still doesn't work format system, data and cache and reflash then factory reset.
thanks. It worked.
Not sure if it was odin stock or wipe data that deleted all my personal files on the internal card... grrr. This is my 3rd galaxy phone, and it's the first time I ever go back from custom to stock ROM. Didn't know I was about to lose my pictures and mp3.
was stuck on the same problem on a gs2, backup all and wipe away
Ok here's the problem. I rooted my phone the new Galaxy Centura from Straight Talk. I then proceeded to wipe the Dalvik Cache. When I was looking at the other sections in recovery, I ended up in the system format. I really didn't mean too but I did format the system. My phone will still go into download and recovery modes and the Samsung image still shows up but nothing else. Is there a way to fix it? I have to know. Please help. I need it desperately.:crying:
At this point you should flash a custom ROM through recovery or if needed use hiemdall or Odin to return to stock in download mode

Just (also wipe data), download some ROM for Your device and flash it via CWM.
Or You can always download ROM for Your device from here and flash it via odin. It's the easiest way to fix it
Hey guys its been since my first epic 1 that I been here..what I have is an unrooted s3 I updated it and it worked fine but the next day it wont boot past the big s....I was wondering if anyway to undo the update? I dont want to wipe and flash because all my pics and music and some important files that mever made it to my sd card..any help or idea?
Boot to recovery and clear cache and dalvic, probably won't help though.
Next step is always to factory reset, you might get around this by installing custom recovery (Philz recovery is recommended), use that to format system, data etc. before installing your previous stock rom via .zip. That way your internal sd files will still be there and the phone will boot.
Follow guides in general, stickies.
Ok but it wont let me in recovery mode.I can get into the odin but thats it.can I dl cwm to it from the comp in odin mode? Or do I have to root it from there and see what it does?
from the odin mode flash stock rom as per your region. Also please note you will loose your data.
