I am hoping somebody can assist me with my Galaxy SII phone. I attempted to root it this morning and was able to connect it to Odin3Excution V1.81. The main title shows "E4GT FI27 Stock No Data". Once I connected the cell phone it generated a 0:[COM4] message. It went through all the steps but got stuck on the very last one (I believe it is the very last one) <ID:0/004> modem.bin. After waiting approximately 30 minutes, I disconnected the phone and turned it off. Once it turned in, it gave the following message "Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I attempted to get into recovery mode by using all possible button combinations (volume down and power), (volume up/down and power) but I still get the same message. I started Odin again and connected the phone and it went through the same load steps but it is once again stuck on <ID:0/004> modem.bin. So at this point of time I am not sure if it is a matter of just waiting for this step to clear (however I have been 45 minutes patient and it never gets past it).
Can someone lend me a helping hand to get this issue resolved? Thanks in advance and I appreciate any assistance that can be provided. I have included an image of where I am currently stuck.
My phone is not restarting. I am using a Samsung Vibrant T959.
I really love the phone since it a gift from my sister and I hope i can fix it. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 firmware, but last month I installed ICS on my phone after which I started receiving me errors.I guess the ICS version i installed was not very stable. Usually restarting the phone would fix the problems and I would be good to go. However last evening when I got the error I restarted the phone 2 times but I would still receive the errors. The 3rd time I restarted it, the phone got stuck on the animation screen and did not boot.
I tried the recovery mode and it worked fine.
I took a backup of my data using the USB debugging mode of the phone.
Since I was irritated with this version of ICS i tried to root my phone using Odin.
Odin failed. The phone was stuck on the downloading screen for some time so i disconnected the phone from my computer and now the phone will not start.
It does not boot, it does not go the recovery mode nor the download mode. when I press the power button or the three buttons (volumn and power) together the screen shows a mobile phone a computer and a disconnect between the three (Phone ! PC sign).
I do not know how to fix it. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Closing this thread so that your duplicate can progress.
I am new here so I dont know if this is the right section. I have a galaxy note i717 that was originally for at&t but it is unlocked. I tried to install clockworkmod using odin 1.85 with a tutorial I found online. Now when I turn it on it says Firmware upgrade encountered a issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again. I tried going into download mode by pressing the volume down and power button and then pressing volume up at the screen but I just get the same message. When I turn it on I feel a little vibration though so I dont think it is hard bricked but I dont know too much about this so please help. What I did is this.
enabled usb debugging and then rebooted the phone into download mode
connected it to odin 1.85 and selected pda, opened cwm-i717.tar.md5 and disabled auto restart and the other thing that was important to disable
clicked start, it said complete so I unplugged it and took out the battery and rebooted
and then I got this screen
after I did some research I downloaded a official tar.md5 for it that was like 700mb or somthing and tried to flash that
i couldn't go into download mode but i just connected it at the error screen, it showed up in odin and I said start, again making sure the right things were disabled, it said it flashed it fine and it passed. When I rebooted I got the exact same message as before.
please help, I have tried everything I could think of and I have been searching the internet for several hours and still havn't found anything. This is my first ever post on any forum so I'm sorry if it is in the wrong place. Thanks

Did you pull out the cable?
Did you pull out the battery? (Won't recommend it, wait till it dies then pull out)
If you did these things allready. Put the battery back, does it do anything? Or does it do anything when you try to recharge? If nothing (or only showing you the battery) you probably need a USB jig.
Yesterday I glanced over to my Samsung Galaxy S3 to see the startup logo (as below) just stuck on my screen. The one that says "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300".
Here's as much useful info about my phone as I can think of:
I have never tried to root my phone, or do any other modding to it
I bought it second hand from a friend, who says they have not done anything of the sort either. I did a fresh install of what I think was Android 4.3 when I got it
I live in the UK and I think the phone is from the UK too, originally tied to a provider but is now unlocked.
I obviously attempted to reboot the phone. I held down the power button and after quite a few seconds the screen went black, then I let go and instantly the same startup logo reappeared. I tried again, without releasing the power button this time, same result.
I tried plugging in the charger, held down the power button, and it then went to a sort-of charging screen. There was a little grey icon on the battery, appearing as though it was not charging.
It wasn't showing the usual charging animation, rather a different one with a greyed battery icon. Holding down the power button on this screen performed the same as with the original logo screen, it just looped.
Here's what I then tried, in order:
removing the battery for 5, 10, 30 minutes. No luck.
leaving it at the startup screen for 30 minutes. No luck
gently tapping the side of the phone, in case the power button was stuck. No luck.
entering RECOVERY MODE and CLEARING CACHE PARTITION. No luck.
entering RECOVERY MODE and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. No luck.
downloaded Kies and connected phone to PC via USB. Kies recognised that the phone was connected but it would stick at the "connecting" screen. I tried multiple USB cables and multiple USB ports, both front and rear of PC. No luck.
I then downloaded Odin and attempted to 'flash' (not good with the terminology, excuse any mistakes I make) my phone using various firmwares I found on the internet. I tried the md5 file both in the PDA and PHONE boxes. I kept downloading "BTU" firmwares(?), read that's what I want somewhere. The file name is "I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5". However I kept encountering various errors, ranging from "there is no PIT partition", to "can't open the serial(com) port". Basically it would always fail.
I tried 5 different versions of Odin - 3.10, 3.9, 3.7, 3.04, 1.85. No luck, same errors.
I then tried uninstalling Kies, ending all processes related to it, and retrying Odin. Still no luck, getting the same serial(com) port error.
I then tried to use a "GT-9300.pit" file that I found online, in the PIT section of Odin. No luck
MY CURRENT SITUATION:
Having tried all of the above, my phone no longer enters recovery mode. When I boot my phone it goes to the following firmware upgrade error screen saying "Firmware upgrade encounteerd an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
It allows me to enter DOWNLOAD MODE, but not RECOVERY MODE. It loops in the same behaviour as previous screens. Even when on charge it shows this screen now.
I have tried my best to include everything I can so I can get more appropriate help. I do not have any experience with phones and I have tried everything I can by myself, hopefully someone here can help!
Long story,if you know what is Teamviewer i can help you. It would take long time to troubleshoot what you did wrong. Best thing would be to start from scratch.

Thank you so much for your offer to help!
I do know what Teamviewer is! I've used it for many years
I also have Skype and a webcam (for showing the phone), so that would be very useful too..
Ok,we don,t need Skype. It's not important for me to see the phone. I will tell you what to prepare,what to download so we can be fast and productive
