hey guys please help.
i think i bricked my phone galaxy s2 i9100.
odin is working ,cwm mode is working and even downloading mode is working.
this problem happened after i flashed slim ics rom yesterday 29-4-2012 on my i9100. the main problem behind it is that i'm not able to factory reset the phone.
whenever i try to factory reset my phone in cwm mode or recovery mode,my phone hangs.
i can format my phone through system /format.
i can wipe cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats.
i flashed many roms and kernels but even after flashing any rom or any kernel in my phone ,it doesnt work.
i installed these firmware and tried so that my phone starts working -
with odin
cm9
stock ics
stock gingerbread
lightening rom
through cwm recovery mode
slim ics
thebyani
resurrection roms
dynamic rom
hydrogen rom
kernels -:
siyah 3.1rc4 ,rc6, 3.1.2
cm9 remix
cf
speedmod
phenominal extreme
but nothing is working..
after any thin i flash only see is the GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 logo on my screen.
please guys tell me a way out..
if i flash a rom on my phone then binary count is not increasing but when i install a kernel then it increases. why so?
i can format ,mount ,unmount anything on phone but i cant format the user data or do a factory reset while doing that my phone hangs.
i even tried .PIT file with repartition ticked in the odin.
please tell me as if there is any hardware problem or just a normal problem?
now,
my phone says
cant access to /system/csc/SEK/system/'. in recovery
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ???
can any 1 help me?

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)
Try the link below.

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .
jje
i did that.

when i flash gb rom then after flashin there is a installation process in the phone in which it says that cant open data/recovery_log. something like this.
it happens so fast that i couldn't read that.
yeah i gone through these threads.

but should i go for flashing my phone with the .pit file?
Nooooooooooooo wait wait wait,don't ever touch pit files and repatition
i would try it but i hope it won't make your problems worse ...
[edit]
ok then not ...
Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

Ok heres what i did.
First On 2.3.6 KL1 i presume. Rooted my phone using CF ROOT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Then Installed F1 Galaxy Nexus ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601518
Then tried to dual boot (Greedy me!)
The other ROM i thought of was Resurrection ROM..
Then i installed it. Using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24233085&postcount=2
So the next time i installed Siyah 3.2b5 My phone didn't boot after The initial S2 logo.
So I then flashed a new ROM KL8 from Odin
Its working fine.
But am not able to install any other ROM.
Any idea what might be the issue?
Thanks in Advance

Hi..
I did what you told me to. Still get the same boot logo
Guess my phone is done for R.I.P
Don't think so phone is rip, download the file again, or try some other ROM
If I were you I do this
formatting system, cache, data and after that flash stock GB using Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
What intrigues me is that, If i use KL8 alone (which is flashed via odin) Am able to use the mobile. use it well actually
But if i try to use any other ROM its stuck in the Boot logo
I tried LPQ from Intratech. Even that didnt work.
I thought this could be an issue with the kernel
(But i realised i was able to flash CF Root's kernel and move back to stock kernel so there would be no issue with regards to Kernel.)
Incorrect or Incomplete download wont be an issue i guess as I tried two to three ROMS.
Btw. I used this link
http://www.technetinfo.in/mobile/mobile-software/i9100xxkp8-android-403.html
I followed all the Instructions (Guess may be cause of the PIT file. I'm not sure cause ive seen in posts that we should not lay hands on PIT files)
So someone please help me out.
Will be ever so grateful

By formating system cache data you mean wipe options in CWM right. That i have done lotsa times. Can kernel failure cause these issues, as once i got Kernel panic mode error??
If you follow a link from another forum why not ask them its their instructions after all .
XDA says total wipe of the phone and start again.
and do not touch a PIT file ever .

Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery >>>> install CF root if no recovery first .
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Pick your custom rom and follow instructions .

I think the problem was that you tried to dual boot with a 4.0.3 and a 4.0.4 ported ROM.As far as Im aware 4.0.3 is the supported ROM for dual boot with Siyah kernel.I personally wouldnt trust 4.0.4 dual boot yet.Do as posted above and you should be O.k.
Finally Issue solved

reflashed stock rom from odin/ then via kies again

Which JB rom not the leaked version i hope .
If its a JB custom rom then you have the standard problem that requires total wipe of the phone .
jje
What jb ROM was it? Also did Odin say pass?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
so how do i do a full wipe then of the phone ?
thx
It was aromas JB install, from inside CWM, but need to be reset as would not boot past boot graphics.
When i flash via odin it says success (i have flashed this rom on to it before)
thx
Run the flash with odin , with rom stock samsung from here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ , then if remains in bootloop ( stopped at the start screen logo ) , enters into recovery mode ( vol.up home power ) , and then makes a wipe date , factory reset and reboot now ...
wella wipe worked and booting again
thx
I rooted my galaxys3 GT-I9300 recently and flashed with cm10.1 nightly and then with sotmax v14 ROM and it was working perfectly for three days.. I have administered a hard case for my galaxy s3 which covers it fully. Two days back my galaxy s3 fell from a chair and suddenly it restared. After that it fails to boot beyond the galaxy s3 logo. I felt it could not have possibily encountered any hardware problem because of my case. But lucky me i could access cwm recovery and odin mode and hence flashed it again with cm 10.1 and sotmax v14 with cwm recovery but in vain...it doesnt boot beyond the galaxy s3 logo. Again I flashed with stock gs3 rom(correct version ) via odin and followed all the steps like wipe chache.....factory reset etc etc. But Same results as before it is stuck at the logo. Even the blue led doesnt get lit but when I put it to charge it is getting charged with a red led light...I tried all possible methods as far as I knew them. I have very little knowledge about flashing. Now i do not know what to do. I voided the warranty. In odin mode it shows
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOADS: YES (1 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
I cannot use the triangle away app so that I could reset the counter as I cannot even get inside the phone. All I can access is recovery mode and odin mode. After I flashed it with a stock rom the cwm recovery got restored with the original recovery. With recovery or odin can I reset the counter and unroot and modify the system status to official so that I can get the galaxy s3 freely serviced by samsung? Or is there any other way to make my phone work? Please help me....I feel iam stuck from all sides and desperate. Have I bricked my phone and made it a 500 $ paper weight?...s3 is so light that it cannot be used even as a paper weight. Help me guys. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hey guys,
yesterday i flashed the latest unofficial temasek rom, before that i had cm 10.2.
at first it worked fine, but afterwards i also flashed the latest gapps.
it lagged a bit so i did a reboot but then it stuck at loading screen. i mean it seemed like it boots but it didnt continue.
i tried to get in cwm and it took about 5 minutes to get there, it said cant mount data etc.
i wanted to flash the normal cm11 but there was an error and then it couldnt start anymore. no blue circle.
after several minutes i got in the cwm and tried to flash different roms, at first custom via cwm, then i tried to flash the stock via odin and
it said it was successfull, but it wasnt. it still stuck at loading but its not frozen, the animation works well.
i tried wipes and factory reset but it didnt help. the only thing that works well is download mode.
its a normal unbranded s3.
thanks for helping

ensure that you wiped all data, cache and factory reset
clean wipe..this step is often omitted during installation.
