Hi...
I was playing around with my phone earlier and not playing close attention to what I was doing (nagging wife in background) I decided to flash a new ROM and I didn't notice I flashed a 19100G on my 19100. As I wasn't looking what I was doing something flashed up on the screen and poof! Well now my phone wont start and it stuck on the Galaxy S2 start screen.
I was previously using CM10 and had CWM recovery installed.
Is this a brick or soft brick and how can i fix it?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you :crying:
can you get back into recovery or download mode
try reboot into download mode.
i once installed something, and after reboot, it wasnt going further than the samsung logo and screen flashes. so wasnt getting into CWM.
only way out was going to download mode, and flash an odin-capable rom. (bizarrely, the rom worked very well with my phone, longer batt life, performance, etc. ..
Download mode:
Power your phone completely off and make sure it isn't plugged in via USB.
While holding the Volume Down rocker and the Home key press and hold the Power Button.
I just got into download mode.
Just downloading an odin capable rom.
Will report back in a little while
Thanks
Okay so I downloaded Odin and a recovery file but when I start Odin I get a yellow box but no numbers?
I chose a the recovery file (PIT) and pressed start but got a failed message in red.

In ODIN you should choose file in PDA. not PIT.
And you should find the file your looking for here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
if there is only .tar choose pda
other way
phone - pda
csc - csc
modem - phone
edit : btw i think your phone is not bricked.
First of all you are in the wrong thread..And your phone is not bricked..Just follow the instructions given above to use odin to flash a stock Rom. You will be fine
I downloaded I9100XWLPT for UK Europe and used Odin v3.04 and all went okay. Phone is back up and running again now
Thank you so much for your help! I really thought I was frazzled there for a minute lol! That will teach me to flash and not pay attention...next time I will have to make sure the wife isn't around
I guess I am now back on stock and will have to re-root my little baby?
Again thank you for all your help...I went into panic mode for a little bit and my mind got clouded so I could not see a solution. I knew it had to be something so easy.
Very much appreciated :good:
And sorry it's in the wrong section, where should I have posted it? If there is a friendly neighborhood admin around could he please move it to the correct place?
Thank you

okay, here's what you do
1. Switch the phone off
2. Hold volume down + menu + power button, until the phone goes into download mode
3. Connect you phone via usb, wait till odin recognizes it (the "COM:" thing turns yellow)
4. Load the pda
5. Flash
If you still don't get it
here's a tutorial video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=hwSF65_d26w#t=15s
and make sure you're using the proper pda, the one that is made for your version.

The problem began because he WASN'T using one for his phone. He was attempting to load an I9100 firmware onto his I9100G.
OP, follow this guide: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G
And be aware, as sahibunlimited says above; there IS NO ICS for I9100G yet.
Make sure you can enter Download mode ... if yes, then there are some stock ROMs lying around in the Repo! Flash them properly ... and always read/search thoroughly before flashing any stuff ... clearly you're new to all this stuff! Though, happens!
easy solution
just flash a kernel,i had the same problem,flashed a kernel without going to download mode here is link for one:
http://www.mediafire.com/?0nmccnoly0ioqx3
connect your smartphone with pc through usb,then open odin and select the downloaded tar file in pda tab ,dont tick anything else ,then click start,done.your phone will be back.
Stupid me! I was trying to un-root my phone. I downloaded some files that I thought were for my phone, and I was wrong.

I attached the following image so you could see what my device is running. I am also using a Galaxy S2 from AT&T.
The problems that I am having:
My home button works as the back button. Which leads me to believe that the software that I used, is probably for the Galaxy S2 that has the physical home button, not the home button that shows the little house.
My search button doesn't work.
I cant boot into download mode.
If I was able to get into download mode, I would be able to flash my phone with a different rom. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

Please reupload the photo on Imgur.com so i dont have to sign in with a yahoo account. Also seems like you flashed a bootloader. Gonna have to ask someone else.
Go to the Download Repository to get the files you need. Follow one of these two ways to correct this:
1) Flash I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries using Odin. Use the version that includes bootloaders as you need to replace the secondary bootloader. This will take you the original UCKH7 2.3.4 Gingerbread fully stock. Then use my guide to root and customize.
2) First flash the secondary bootloader sbl.tar using odin. Then flash the I777UCLE5 Stock Binaries using odin, or the one-click odin downloader. This will put the phone on ICS UCLE5 4.0.3. Then you can use the information in the above guide but be sure to use an ICS custom kernel.
hi all, i took a risk and bought a s3 that wont boot and the touch screen doesnt work, now i know nothing about how it got into this state, i can boot it into recovery where i am faced with this screen

on the recovery screen the volume buttons dont work so i cant scroll up or down
if i let it "boot" normally it gets to this screen
but as the touch screen doesnt work i cant go no forward
no as i say i bought it like this so i knew the risk but is there anyway to fix it?
ive downloaded ADT but im hesitant to use it as i may totally bugger it if it not already buggered.

Likewise so just guess .
perhaps i should have tried booting into download mode before downloading a ROM and reading up on ODIN as i cant boot into download mode, it just boot as usual to the 2nd pic above

Thats the startup screen on a new install .
Guess would be the touch screen or digitizer .
it was a risk i took, u win some u lose some.
OK, a bit of success, i wasn't able to enter download mode from power off but managed to get into it from power on holding the same keys, problem now is i cant get ODIN to see my device, i have the latest drivers too.
ok, managed to get it connected and flashed but it appears to be in aboot loop, will head to the Odin thread for advice.
many thanks
Hi,
My sons Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 has decided to wipe its self. On startup it goes straight to ODIN3 Download mode (Protocol v2.1)
I have spent the entire day reading what to do and finally came up with the following:
1. Download Kies ( Which will not connect)
2. Download Odin3 v1.85
3. Download an md5 file ( of which I have tried many and none seem to work)
4. start Odin3 > click PDA and select the md5 file > connect the tab and turn it on (the tab tells me its connected and the 0:[com7] turns yellow) > click start.
it starts off promising by going green, but then it goes red and tells me write : failed.
I have tried a few PIT files just incase and some bootloader files also to without success.
Am I using the right files?
firstly what has my son done!!! and secondly how the hell do I sort this, I am starting to loose my patience.... bescause I have no idea.
Any help very much appreciated

Go to www.sammobile.com and download the proper stock ROM for your tab, extract the zip, then flash the .tar.md5 file inside. You should uninstall kies too if I'm not mistaken. And if your version of Odin doesn't work, try the one I'm using, v1.87. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dib0w993qc284ki/Odin3v1.87.zip?dl=0
Your son probably simple pressed the power and volume buttons and he unintentionally went into recovery mode and wiped the tab I guess, this is the only thing I can think of, tho I don't know how it can completely wipe the tab, its been a long time since I've went into the stock 3e recovery.

Thanks
Unfortunately I get the same result..... write error.
Thanks for your suggestion though
Did you try using the Odin version I attached?
I have same problem now... Yesterday my tab crashed and I tried to reboot it but get a bootloop, recovery crashed also, tried to flash stock Rom and recovery through Odin but failed. Tablet showed few error lines, as you can see at picture. Would be very thankful if anyone could help.

Hi, I have someone's old s7 edge which I'd like to use in place of my A10e lol, it still has their password on it tho. The screen seems to have some really weird issues, if I power it on using the home button or power button half the time the screen will be extremely dim/green and half of it will flicker. It looks and works perfectly fine the rest of the time though. I got it to the "recovery booting" screen, but the screen just flashes then goes near-black (still slightly glowing, doesn't turn off) then boots normally about a minute later.
I've tried around 40 times and can't get it to go into recovery mode. I have no idea what I'm doing but I put it in download mode and tried using Odin to flash it with files I got off sammobile. It didn't even connect at first but did after I installed Kies. Odin said it passed, the phone restarted, then just booted back up to the same lock screen. I then tried installing TWRP onto it, which failed saying it couldn't open the serial(com) port? That's where I am now... does anyone know if there's any way to wipe the phone?
@eggy1
If you've phone's Stock ROM ( ZIP file ) at your fingertips then you simply re-flash phone with this Stock ROM to bring back the phone to its initial state.
If you can access phone by means of ADB/Fastboot then it's really simple to do a clean install of phone's Stock ROM..

I can't get adb to detect the phone, but I flashed it successfully with Odin using the files from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-stock-odin-firmware-t3582821
It now seems to be stuck in a loop of recovery booting into the download mode screen, and occasionally into a caution screen that says no command.. should I try another rom?
@eggy1
Use SamFirm Tool what allows you to manually search and download the Stock ROM matching your phone.
