Ok so I was a moron and re-partitioned my Samsung galaxy s2.
After attempting to fix it. I have had no luck.
I need the .pit file for the xwlp8 version can any1 help me out please?
everywhere I have searched. just say don't do it. But i cant find the file.
Please some1 help me.
I can get to download mode. But can not access recovery mode.
I have also tried to just install the original PDA file, But that did not help.
I have tried a different .pit file. I believe it was the 4.1.1 and that did not work either.
I have tried to find an Australian .pit file and have had no success.
Could someone please help me find a way to restore the phone back. Even if I have to update to 4.1.1 or downgrade to gingerbread. And if so can you link me up with a tutorial on doing so please?
p.s I am guessing a soft brick is where you see a white logo with a computer and phone trying to link. Or the phone hangs at samsung logo with yellow triangle below.

I was trying to update my phone from gingerbread 2.3.3 to ice cream sandwich. but for some reason it did not go well, so i am all stuck. I tried so many things people suggested in here. Last thing i tried is to flash it with gingerbread firmware as explained in adroiddevicesdotcom. sorry its not letting me paste the full link of any third party website.
now i can see startup screen where it reaches up to big "S" sign with samsung galaxy 2 written at the bottom but its just looping at same screen.
Could anybody please suggest me what else i can try to install its original OS again.
Thanks,
If you need any other info please let me know

Simple solution to boot loop is a factory reset. I have done this numerous times after flashing a new ROM. Works all the time.

Hi there!
I have a Samsung galaxy sIII I was on stock firmware and i followed "I followed Chainfires guide to install ROOT and CWM all went well until I tried to connect to Samsung kies to do a firmware update where it kept saying that the current mode is not supported go to settings> and turn off debugging, so I did that and it still came up with not supported.. so I then decided it was because of the root. So I have downloaded I9300XXALF2 bought the triangle away app and then upgraded via odin, that was successful fresh phone unrooted all back to official. but still it would not connect to kies so I tried to flash it back to the stock firmware I9300XXALE8 and odin says "The parameter is incorrect" and will not let me
I have just found another problem too! When i dial *#1234* it says my CSC is unknown, so I dial *#272*IMEINumber# and it comes up with "BTU" but will not let me select it, It says " must be THREE chars?..
I need some serious help guys please!! I am currently downloading I9300XXALF6 to see if that will solve anything. Im begging that someone can help me with this?? I have looked at other questions over this forum and Google but none seem to answer this. please redirect me if anyone knows where the answer is. Thanks for any help
I'm having this same Issue.
I download a stock firmware from SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=4791) and when i try to flash, Odim says "Incorrect Paraeter".
What to do?
anyone?? I am having the same problem.
you need to remove the ".md5" at the end of the name of the ROM file.
Your ROM file supposed to end with ".tar", not ".md5", that's why ODIN have error.

Hey,
I have somehow managed to brick my phone, here's how it happened..
I was using it, it was quite alright.. But then suddenly, the power button menu started appearing for no reason.. Then i couldnt use the power button at all.. But it got automatically resolved in the evening.
I found my camera to be very unsatisfying, so i updated the camera fw, and it was successful. No issues in the phone as such.
The next day, i found the phone stuck in a hard bootloop, unsolvable by taking the battery out and all.. The recovery mode resets into boot after like 3 seconds.
I put the phone in download and flashed a single file official rom from intratech's thread , that didnt solve anything.
So i thought that i had no option but to flash a .pit file and repartition the phone.
Now, i have an indian gt-i9100, and i looked everywhere for a .pit file , but i cant find a comprehensive guide which includes the .pit file.
I found this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458&page=1
It has all the files, modem, code, and csc. Even the bootloader. But after downloading the package, i couldnt find a .pit file.
So i carried on with the multi file flash, voila, no recovery for me now. The phone still goes into download mode though.
I can carry on with the bootloader flash, but i wanted to try and clear and partitioning problems there might be, if any.
Please help.
Details of recent multi flash- XXLPH with the modem and csc files.
EDIT--
Just got the .pit file from the post mentioned above.. did the repartioning.. still the same problem ..

You simply need to flash a stock firmware that will wipe your phone.
If you don't know where to find it, let me know

No. You read my post wrong.
I said, you need to flash a special stock firmware that will wipe everything, including data on your phone. Stock firmwares naturally don't wipe data etc after flashing.
I'll post you the link as soon as possible

I tried flashing XXLPQ from intratech's thread.. Single file flash.. Still not working. It brought back recovery though, But it resets into boot again. Like after 3 seconds.
I m out of my wits here.. What the hell should i do to get this phone to work?
Is it hardbricked? Is it time for me to pay for the repairs at the nearest service center?

ok here try this
pit : http://www.mediafire.com/?pu1nh622wudgzey
Firmware: http://hotfile.com/dl/146748985/809318f/I9100XXLPH.zip.html
Kernel : http://www.mediafire.com/?65a5a59666hdopx
PASSWORD FOR EXCTRATING KERNEL : [email protected]
First flash pit .. once done remove usb , remove battery again get the phone in download mode
flash only kernel in pda once done remove usb , remove battery again get the phone in download mode
after that then flash pit and the firmware together
in firmware u will find 3 files
CODE -> PDA
MODEM -> PHONE
CSC -> CSC
I think you should choose flashing the stock firmwares, where you should wipe everything: caches, dalvik cache, factory reset; however, backup your files.
Flash the firmwares that'd give you that "fresh new feeling"
If flashing it once won't work, i think you could try flashing it again.
But i think you screwed up somewhere in the steps.. mmmm you could try using simple fw's.. ones where all the files are in one PDA file

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-19300) international version. I rooted it last night. Took a custom backup of ROM and backup using Titanium backup. I installed cyanogenmod 9 on it today. It was working perfectly. Then when i installed Google apps (gapps) and restarted it got stuck on the bootscreen. I hardbooted and now all i see is this fuzzy black n white screen ( like static). I tried going into clockworkmod recovery but still the same screen. However, i can still go to odin mode.
So i guess i have to install stock firmware through odin now. But i'm unable to download the firmware. All links are on hotfile and as everyone knows , it sucks :/ download stops after 2 min. Cant find a mirror also.
Any ideas what to do? have u guys also encountered a similar problem?
Can someone download and send the firmware file to me somehow(anysend or wetransfer or something)? iv tried downloading it many times but failed

Have you tried downloading the firmware from Sammobile? If you haven't I would recommend taking a look at this link here for the official firmwares for the International Model Galaxy S3, after you have selected your country and carrier, you can download the firmware and flash it through Odin. Let me know if you still have questions .
Thanks for the fast reply
Thats the problem, everytime i try downloading the firmware it just stops in the middle. Anyway, i got the 4.2.2 firmware for my mobile. I tried flashing that, it said no partitioning. So i tried re-partitioning with the .PIT file. But it get stuck on 'Get PIT mapping' with 'SET PARTITON' in white on the box above (COM)port. Doesnt go further. How do i fix it?

Make sure you have loaded the partition file into the .pit file slot. Also I would recommend taking a look at this procedures "How to Proceed" section (Make sure to substitute the correct file's for your device and don't worry about the multi-CSC part of the procedure) on what to do if you get stuck at the "Get PIT mapping" section.
i tried in xp mode too. no luck.
then i tried with odin 1.85 instead of 3.07. Now it doesnt show Get PIT Mapping. It shows 're-partition failed'. I guess thats some progress
But its still a no go for phone. Any idea how to fix it?
I was thinking of flashing the CWM recovery again and try to go to recovery mode. Should i or is it too risky?
I'm also gonna try flashing with the recovery firmware i found on the forum today...
Hi everyone
I tried to upgrade using odin but forgot to enable usb debugging and upgrade failed.
Now I have only download mode and odin is asking me for PIT file.
I have searched but canno`t find pit file anywhere - probably because it doesen`t exist
I need some help please, what can I do?
BTW, since hot file is down I don`t know where to get original firmware and if I get it, will it help since I I`m running in circles with this pit file request from odin..

SOLVED!!!
I didn't have recovery no matter what combination of buttons I pressed. Only thing I had was message from download mode that upgrade failed and that I need to connect to Kies for emergency recovery!
That's what I did,
Downloaded Kies and connected my phone, tried to upgrade firmware and after inputting my model and serial number it downloaded original firmware that came with the phone and Kies resolved the whole problem!
I was worried that it might not work because I was rooted and had custom recovery installed before the problem but the process took about 40min to complete and all my apps and settings were saved!
+1 for Samsung Kies
I hope that someone will benefit from this.
