Just flash the stock ROM via Odin. No need for cwm.

1. You will lose root, but you can always have it back.
2. Your data will be intact

Thanks people but i'm having a problem.
I turn my phone off and boot into download mode, but when i plug in my usb cable my odin doesnt recognise my device, it fully recognises it when it is normally powered on (not on download mode).
any ideas on how to make odin detect my device ? i have kies installed.

when you boot into download mode, you have to press the volume up button to bypass the warning screen. That is when Odin will be able to see your device

You said you have KIES installed. Make sure it isn't opens from the task manager when you boot into download mode and open Odin. BTW, which Odin version are you using?

1)try a diff USB port and see
if the same doesnt wrk
2) then uninstall KIES, reinstall the same afresh to load the drivers and then Kill all Kies process , using windows task manager, then start ODIN , connect ur phone in Dwnld mode and see
No, the yellow triangle disappears (if you had one before) when you flash a stock firmware via Odin.

I've tried everything, soft reset, hard reset taking battery out flashed all different firmwares now i've briked it but the only way i can get it into download mode is if i flash a kernel in PDA on its own I9100XXKI3 the original version is 2.3.6 XXLK4 or LP4 can't remember well, any flash i do it's always FAIL FAIL FAIl :'( BY the way i do have the drivers instaled for it and kies
If you can get in download mode, it's not bricked.
If it is bricked, you can still get it repaired with a j-tag repair.
I'd recommend you to try Heimdall if Odin fails for some reason. It comes with its own drivers and does not need KIES nor its drivers to work.

It's a console application. You use some kind of console to run it with the proper arguments(cmd/powershell/...).
Or you download the Heimdall frontend and extract it into the same directory as Heimdall. Then you get a "clickable" application. Drivers are included, you have too install them manually.
I recommend you the latter.
if you can do download mode i say try formating system partition using cwm.
also remove your sdcard until you finish flash using odin.
try different usb port and different usb cable.

One you can get to download mode Yes .

KIES turned off and not running .
Three follow instructions in the stock rom thread below and flash any GB firmware with a working link .

2) I tried flashing in ODIN. It failed, the phone freezes in Downloading mode.
3) I tried recovery in Kies. It freezes too (at 11%).

You can though you may not get an update .

Flash stock rom through Odin but read instructions first .
Instructions do not say flash zip through Odin but as firmware is from another forum you would need to ask them / read their instructions .
Why not use stock firmware from XDA ???

Correct firmware used and instructions followed .
Then a faulty download of the firmware or a damaged phone are the only solutions left ..
I would personally try flashing CF root via Odin and wiping phone via mounts and storage format .
Only other choice is a service centre .

Hi everybody and thanks for those. who tried to help me.
I just tried to connect the cable to another usb port (not front one, but the one on the motheboard) and this helps!!!! Now I have the latest firmware, installed by Kies. So the reason was simple - the bad USB Port.
That's good to hear. Wonder if its the USB port itself or a software problem..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
It's the usb port. I used the idea from other thread. Never use front usb port (on desktops) to upgrade the phone.
Another idea - is to change the cable

Front USB often means its not running full power as its not a direct motherboard feed but wired as a supplementary port .

That's probably because for recovery you need to hold down the volume down and up buttons and the power button.

Well I was did same thing with my sgh i777, but I bing my issue in 2 hours. Just you need odin and sgh i777 original stock. I hope you will find it by binging it or reply me I will upload it for you.
Have a nice day
First make sure you're using the latest odin available. Second, a lot of time for me, my phone will only get recognized on certain usb ports on my computer so odin doesn't see it. For example the two top front ports don't recognize it at all. The middle two do. I have an idea of why but haven't bothered to try fixing it. Point is, try every usb port u have. If it still doesn't recognize it, try reinstalling kies and the latest usb drivers for our device. (there are generic usb drivers for it)
We're you using a custom rom before? With which kernel? Odin a custom kernel with recovery, like siyah etc..... Then use 3 button combo to get into recovery

Have tried all three USB ports in my laptop but still the same and yes, I am in download mode. One thing I can add and I don't know if it has anything to do with it is, on the top left the custom binary is a NO. I'm really new at this. One more question if my phone is being recognized by laptop when I plug it in like it appears as a portable device on My Computer it means that the USB drivers are installed and correct, right?

custom binary has nothing to do here buddy. first you need to root the phone using CF-ROOT method. and flash the philz recovery.zip from CWM recovery that comes after flashing with CF-ROOT. later you will be able to flash any custom rom through philz recovery.
step1: open odin
step2: put phone in download mode(volume down+home+power)
step3: connect phone via usb
step4: odin recognizes the phone
step5: cf-root and the following methods stated at the beginning

I think I know the problem now. Odin is not recognizing my phone when its on Odin mode. I tried 3 different USB cables already but just the same. I tried to what you said but Odin is simply not recognizing my phone.

do you have kies installed on your laptop? if yes, stop it running in the background from task manager. if this is not the problem, try another laptop or pc.

I checked the task manager and KIES is not running and its not even installed. I guess I need to try a different laptop or PC.

yes you need to. also try restarting your laptop.
Sounds more like no drivers installed. Try installing kies to get the drivers and then ensure it's not running in the background. That should solve your problem.

Do all of the above and if none of that works try older version of Odin....I have had problems before with newer version of Odin and found that some of the older versions work well.
