Hello. This is my first time to post in XDA and unfortunately, I seem to have bricked (or soft-bricked) my phone.
I tried to unroot my phone, however, I got stuck in an infinite bootloop between the Samsung Startup, and the following message: Android upgrading screen saying Manual mode, Applying Multi-CSC, Applied the CSC code: BTU. Successfully applied Multi-CSC.
In an attempt to solve, I flashed the stock firmware in download mode through Odin. I got a success message, however, I cannot get past the Samsung Logo.
I would really appreciate if anyone can guide me through on how I can restore my phone. Thanks in advance.

I can't get into recovery. Is there a way to install cwn from download/Odin?
Are you sure that you can't enter into recovery mode bypressing the buttons? You was with usb debugging on? You can try to use adb "adb reboot recovery" to enter in recovery mode.

CF Root 6.4 Injects CWM via ODIN.
Your problem seems to be settings related tho, usually you get that fixed cleaning cache and dalvik, as stated before. Try to get into recovery mode to check that, and if that dont work I would try reflashing all over step by step.-

To get to recovery press and hold 'up volume + home button + power button together'

You need to hold them until your phone reboots. Takes a few seconds maybe 5-10

I'm sure the OP should be able to enter Download Mode and flash another ROM via ODIN. Try that if you can't access recovery.
Im 100% he's not doing it the right way.
If you can get in downloadmode to use Odin, you can also get in the Recovery menu.
Hold volume up , home, and power untill it reboots.
Keep holding it untill you see the white text, release power, but keep holding volume up and home.
Its not so difficult.

This happened to me to... i flashed a nordic stock rom, from JB because I wanted to go back to android 4.0.4.. now I'm stuck at the logo screen. I have noot rooted or anything so I cant go to recovery, only download mode.. What do I do?
same with the guys above but i had 4.0.4 and when i flashed stock i am stuck with the samsung logo. my s2 was fixed with the new stock rom as it seem it didnt support old stock after flashing new roms. may be is should try jb instead. all i did was used samsung tool should have done one by one myself. instead of using tool.
***Edit***
Okey I fixed it by going to recovery and then wiped up everything (dalvik/cache-data/cache partition) so it worked now... Here is the question. I bought the cell 2nd hand with paper and everything here is my question. on the box and back sticker of the cell phone it is XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/6 when i got the phone and did *#06# I got XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/04 and then when i tried to use samsung toolkit it went hanged in samsung logo so after i fixed it when i got back to the phone i checked my imei again now its XXXXXX/XX/XXXXXX/01 just the last is different is it okay or is something screwed my cell? btw it was locked to 3 and i used galaxysimunlocked (after) checking imei it is working but still i am concerned about the last number all the 14 numbers are right nothing changed.

This is my first post & thread in XDA, I'm a active user in another forum. I have an OV, which is rooted, has multiple mods, and running on a IHO ROM... So I'm not a complete noob xD
Getting to the point... I currently have a Galaxy Ace that I'm allowed to tinker with (It's a friends) and Ive already rooted it with SuperONeClick.
Now I've tried to flash CWM and I've failed miserably xD
Theres a sticky in the Galaxy Ace Development section, and I've tried a method there for flashing CWM multiple times and I cant get it to work. I've also tried flashing it via the Terminal Emulator like I did with Xionia and my OV, but that didn't work. The last thing i tried was using the stock Samsung Recovery to flash the zip but it wouldnt work, so I renamed the CWM zip to update.zip and I flashed it and it said it flashed CWM and it was successful. When I tried rebooting into Recovery it just hanged on the first Samsung logo. I battery pulled and tried the button combo to boot into Recovery mode and it just hung like before. So I tried to boot into download mode and it would say Emergency Download mode instead of the normal one. So I figured the phone was semi-bricked, but then i just did a normal reboot and it booted up into the stock ROM fine! I dont get it... it wont boot into Recovery but it will boot into the stock ROM.
Before any of you burn me, I'm sorry, I'm new to tinkering with Samsung.
Other points to mention: When Samsung Kies is opened, it just says connecting with that sync icon and just hangs there. It never connects to the phone.
I was trying to use ODIN, and i selected all the files i was going to flash and i plugged the phone in, and ODIN never budged... It didnt recognize the phone, never did anything. I WAS in debug mode...
The Kies things and ODIN stuff i mentioned was tried before and after the rooting...
SO if anyone has any idea, any suggestions on whats going on, and on how i can flash a recovery from where i am now, will be greatly appreciated.
The phone has 2.2.1, Froyo as stock.
you cant flash cwm on a 2.2 phone only 2.3 try the download mode vol down home power

directly flashing may not workkk stop... i saw somoeone who got fu*ked up with doing so...
try to get it from kies as it will have GB bootloader...
if you flash something that dont have then you may end up with ACE as paper weight
after you get something from kies to 2.3.x then you are free to flash any roms on it for ace

I was having problems with Odin. It wouldnt recognize the phone. But i think it just finally recognized it.
And after all this crap, i turned the phone on, and it booted up fine. I restarted it and it hasn't boot up since... anyone have an idea why?

Sooo yeah, phone works great. Faster than before. I can reboot it works how it should. I can also boot into Download Mode.
BUT... i cant boot into Recovery. I try the button combos and the Samsung logo shows, it turns black shows the same logo again and then boots up as normal. It won't boot into recovery for anything.... Pretty weird.

2) Turn off your phone
3) Press POWER+HOME BUTTON

Ok, so I was about to install custom ROM to a unrooted SGS2 phone, I didn't have a computer so I decided to root my phone installing cwm.zip through stock recovery and then installing su and busybox via cwm. then I backed everything up, downloaded a custom ROM with a custom kernel and cwm touch recovery with it. I went to stock recovery again and installed cwm.zip to get to cwm recovery and first made a nandroid backup and then installed the custom ROM. It turned off while it was on aroma installer and now it doesn't go on. Is it bricked? is there anything I can do?

I can't get anywhere.. and I assume I can't do anything even if I get it plugged on a computer? if it doesn't go to Odin or stock recovery or no where at all what are my chances? bricked I guess. BTW will anyone at Samsung know that I tried flashing my phone if I take it to be fixed? I mean if it doesn't go on, don't they have to replace everything and they would never even know that i tried to flash it?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You soft-bricked it maybe...
Did you try booting up your phone pressing the POWER + HOME + VOL UP keys? If it boots into recovery, then just do a nandroid restore...
If you're just concerned with bringing the phone back to life... Boot up your phone pressing POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN keys. It will show you a green n' black menu, then press VOL UP. It will then show an Android robot with "downloading" written below. Now just connect it to your PC (I hope you already installed drivers for S2) and start ODIN. (Make sure KIES is off)
Use a .tar.md5 or .tar(or any other format) file(or files depending on your firmware) and put it in the respective box. Leave the tickboxes as they are and DO NOT use a .pit file AND DON'T TICK repartition.
Click start flash and your phone should boot up on the stock ROM again!
Just trying to help you!

where can I get a USB jig? I don't know if my motherboard is broken, it doesn't turn on at all, screen stays off what ever I press. and even if a put the charger in. in the evening I will have a computer and I can connect it to my PC but I assume that there is nothing I can do anyways because I can't just turn the phone on. I was trying to install a custom ROM with a temporary CWM recovery. didn't have cwm yet installed but I assumed it will be installed at the same time I install the rom because it included it. so if I have hard bricked my phone and I take it to be repaired, will they see I have tried to flash the phone? will it be fixed with guarantee?

Yes I'm sure I was installing a right ROM meant for my phone. The resurrection remix 3.0.9 for I9100. this is what I did exactly.
1. went to stock recovery
2. installed CWM.zip from external SD card.
3. Got into temporary CWM recovery and then made a nandroid backup with success.
4. tried to wipe data but got stuck and rebooted my phone. It was now stuck in the galaxy logo.
5. I went to stock recovery again to install CWM.zip and this time I straight installed the resurrection remix and I got into Aroma installer and everything went fine until on 50% the phone turned off and now doesn't go on.
P.S. I was still on Stock ROM and kernel and recovery when trying to do this. Was using a temporary CWM recovery to install a custom ROM and kernel. I had root access already.
P.S2 I put the charger in and it doesn't even show the battery icon, nothing. and yes the camera is getting hot. Is it a hard brick / dead brick or what ever you call it? if I take it to guarantee, will they fix it or will they be able to see that I damaged my phone myself? thanks
P.S3 can the USB jig work on this problem also?

If it soft bricked i think JTAG will help you
But if not try this:
Try to change battery MAYBE THAT HELP i don't now i gueses(Sorry bad english) i don't know really
Try this:
Step one would be the Jig
Step two would be a paid for JTAG repair
Step three would be a paid for service centre repair
And try to get out battery for about 1 hour

How the going with the phone ?
Was it on a 4.0.4 ROM? Did you check if it has a bad chip? ie. is susceptible to the emmc bug before flashing?
That could possibly be the cause, although I cant be sure now unless you have her stock rom/kernel details. And if it is, I'm sorry but AFAIK theres no solution to that yet.
Do try getting hold of a USB jig and trying your luck with that first, though.
Hope it works out :fingers-crossed:
Did you try to wipe ANYTHING on stock 4.0.4 kernel ? if you did, then you've been afected by the emmc brickbug and there's no other way to fix it other than replacing the entire motherboard.
Did you try to put your device in download mode (pressing the power button, home button and volume down key) ? If you can get into it, flash a stock rom and problem solved.
Can you enter recovery mode ?
Next time you try to get cwm, just flash siyah and you'll get the whole package (permanent cwm + root + plenty of features) and only after that try to wipe and install custom roms
@Poroto
HE SAID HE CAN"T GO ANYWHERE.
So it's can be Hardbrick or like (Ram's or CPU or Video card is broken) MAYBE
Because i had i problem with CPU it's can't go anywhere it was problem with CPU

1. Root your phone with cf-root
2. Use triangle away, when you press volume up press down+home+power immediately so you go into download mode
3. Once in download mode, load your stock rom with odin
4. after done flashing go to recovery volume up+home+power and do a factory reset / wipe cache
5. Boot to your rom, set your csc with csc selector from the market to the correct one for your rom so you receive future updates (unless you dont want to)

For your case, if you want your phone back to normal, you must take the risk. Ignore the file or your phone will stuck like that forever.

I did some OTA updated on my S3 running FoxHound this morning. After applying it has got stuck at boot loop, gets to the foxhound bootimage then swtiches of and starts over again.
I have tried to get into both recovery and download mode but it just switches the device off and starts it all over again.
I'm a little stuck on what to try next!?
I have backups saved through CWM for both Foxhound and stock rom but obviously can't get to them.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance for any help.
You need to release the buttons earlier to get to recovery
Plus, post in the foxhound Q&A section for a quicker answer

Have tried holding it in for every varying length of time. Unfortunately it makes no difference, just reboots rather than hitting download/ recovery.
Leave battery out for a minute or 2. If theres no way of getting in to recovery or download mode, i guess ur last bet will be an usb jig

Double check your button combo .. Just to make sure you are doing it right. Another way to get into recovery is if you have adb installed, you can do adb reboot recovery.

I've been running 10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY with ClockworkMod and then encrypted the device. Trying to get back to stock so I used Odin and flashed the device with a stock version of 4.1.2. Everything seemed to go well, the device showed as Passed in Odin.
When the device boots up its asking for the encryption password and the one I used before (even though I'd expect this to be cleared) isn't working. I can't get into ClockworkMod or any recovery menu by holding Power & Volume Down
Any thoughts on what next steps should be to get it working again?

Not sure how I attempt a factory rest if I can't get past the decrypt device prompt or load the recovery module. How else can do a factory reset?
The only access I seem to have is via Odin and KIES_HOME_I9300XXEMG4_I9300OXAEMG4_1314436_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 was the following file used to try and factory rest the encrypted device.
I can't get adb or fastboot to work because the device isn't set for usb debugging nor can I access the recovery console.

(yeah, typo on the V down and couldn't revise immediately) I was trying it perhaps 10 times and finally got it to work. thought it wasn't working. then all it took was the reload
