Upon waking up this morning, I found that my phone was stuck on the (very first) Samsung logo. Before going to sleep, I was already booted and everything was stable.
I attempted to enter CWM recovery, but it would not work. It would continue restarting to show the Samsung logo.
Entering download mode, I see the following -
Product name:
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
This is strange, and pretty wrong. My product name is empty, custom binary download is "No" instead of at least "3" (I never have used TriangleAway), and I wasn’t using an official Samsung ROM before the problem.
If I attempt to flash a full stock, multi-part .tar.md5 file in PDA, ODIN v3.04 shows a "There is no PIT partition." error and fails. Re-partition is not ticked.
Therefore, I’ve tried to flash each of the following, with re-partition ticked:
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120322.pit
GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit
Each of them fail with a "Re-Partition operation failed." error.
If I try to flash a .pit file and the full .tar.md5, I get the same "Re-Partition operation failed." error.
Once a flash fails, I need to turn my phone off and on into download mode again, or else ODIN will stop.
The same thing happens for both ODIN v1.85 and v3.04, I’ve taken my battery in and out, I’ve tried this on two different computers, I’ve used every USB port, my Samsung drivers are up to date and Kies it not running in the background.
Maybe Your phone made a suicide, look on this thread:

Ok, so start I took my SGS2 i777 with Shostock3 and tried to enable encryption on it. Should've been a simple click of a box and a reboot, right? The battery was charged and I had it connected to a cable. I hit start, it rebooted a few times, I entered my password halfway through, and woke up to it asking for my password as if everything was complete. I entered the password, then it loaded to the initial start screen and asked me to input all my google account info (even though I'd done this months ago). As soon as I'd hit start it would reboot the phone and I'd be back at the screen asking for my encryption password.
So I deleted all user data to see if that would help and then it wouldn't accept any password. Then I tried reflashing through recovery and adb but I always got the error that it couldn't mount /sdcard and /emmc. This seems to be the root of the problem. No matter what guide I follow, I can't access these. I can't format them either using CWM.
I recently followed guide titled: "Prepare Your Phone to Return to the Store or for Warranty Replacement by following these steps:"
and I get the following error when I enter the heimdall flash command.
(heimdall flash --kernel zImage --factoryfs factoryfs.img --cache cache.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin?)
Popup window saying Unable to mount the MTP device (although it shows up in my computer on linux mint)
"ERROR: Partition "kernel" does not exist in the specified PIT.
Ending session...
Rebooting device...
Releasing device interface...
Re-attaching kernel driver...
"
After having previous issues, I tried flashing the PIT using the --pit command in heimdall, under the assumption that the encryption ruined the formatting.
Summary:
So right now I can get into recovery and download modes through CWM but nothing I do has any effect. I've put new .zip files on sd cards and it doesn't work, .zip files through adb won't work, and heimdall is giving me these issues.
Any other ideas? I know since I can get into download mode that it shouldn't be that hard to fix, but I can't find out what to do right now.
If you can, I would suggest you use a windows computer with Odin to flash back to stock.
I know very little about encryption except that it seems to be loaded into a partition that is not changed by flashing or wiping.
Hi,
My samsung GT-I9300 suddenly stopped working.
After entering recovery mode I found out that the phone cannot mount ANY file system (no access to /system /efs etc).
I then decided to flash the modem with odin v3.09.
I entered the download mode on the smartphone (by pressing hold,power,volume down) and connected the smartphone to the usb port of my pc.
Odin detects the phone (COM port number is displayed) but as soon as I start the process Odin reports that "there is no PIT file". I've found and tried a PIT file but that file isn't accepted.
The question is: how do I find out which PIT file I need?
That error message usually means you have a corrupt emmc chip. You can try flashing the rescue firmware (search in general forum) but probably need a new motherboard.

Hi,
I have a Samsung S2. It gets stuck at the "Samsung S II i9100" logo. I tired flashing with Odin and I get stuck at "NAND write start" and then later fails. So I figured out that its the EMMC chip problem and I guess the only way to fix it is to re-partition it or replace the chip.
My device:
Samsung SII I9100, 16 GB, 4.1.2. JB Stock (I think its rooted, and not really sure)
What I can do and what I can not:
I can enter "Download Mode"
I can't enter CMW
What I tired with Odin:
First I tried flashing official firmware JB 4.1.2(confirmed not corrupted firmware) (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
I tried flashing official firmware ICS 4.0.3(I read that 4.0.4 would brick your phone) (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
Changed between 3 different cables (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
End tasked all "Samsung Kies" tasks then retried (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
Tried with latest Samsung Drivers (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
Tried 3 different PCs. One PC had Windows 7 32-bit and the other two PCs had Windows 7 64-bit (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
I tried Odin 1.85 and 3.07 (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
I tried flashing "Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar" as PDA on Odin. (Stuck at "Nand write start" and later fails)
So can anyone please help me with re-partitioning my device and which pit file I should use?
Many Thanks!!

You can use any of the pit files available there as you need. I have personally tried with 3 gb pit file and it worked correctly.
Read the OP properly if you want to do it right.
I have no custom ROM

Let me start off by saying I have already scoured this forum and other sources for a solution to this problem. I should add that I am somewhat bound by the confines of my experience, also.
Like many others here, my Samsung S4 mini GT-I9195 is stuck in a boot loop, unable to get into recovery mode. It can get to download mode, but is not recognized by my PC.
Things I've done so far:
1. tried to boot in recovery mode - doesn't work, says "Recovery starting..." then restarts into boot loop
2. checked battery - not it
3. dissasembled phone and checked power button - works fine
4. tried Samsung Kies - "Device is not responding. To resolve the issue, reboot the device." - no can do (note that I only just installed Samsung Kies on my PC for the first time after the boot loop started)
5. flashed firmware using Odin - PASS! - still in bootloop w/no recovery mode
6. flashed firmware again using Odin w/Auto-Reboot unchecked - PASS! - then attempted to reboot into recovery - no go, still in bootloop w/no recovery mode
The firmware I successfully flashed was Poland/T-Mobile version 4.4.2 downloaded from sammobile.
The one thing I have NOT tried is to repartition the pit file. Would this possibly make any difference? If it's worth a try, can I do this using the tar.md5 package above, or do I need a separate .pit file and if so, how do I know I have the right one???
After doing a little reading, I downloaded CSB_signed_SERRANOLTE_ONEPIT_OPEN_130523.pit, which was included in a 'repair firmware' .zip file that also included separate bootloader, code, csc and modem files. I actually did try flashing those files (except for the pit file) and that failed (of course) with error "Device 2, Binary 1", so I flashed the firmware above again and it passed again.
What else?
- Phone is not rooted
- I have no idea if USB debugging is turned on or not
- I was doing nothing with the phone when it first died. I figured the battery might have somehow rapidly drained to zero even though it should have been around 70%. I had last touched the phone about an hour earlier, to shut off my alarm. I tried plugging in to wall charger but phone would not turn on even after an hour or more of charging. I really don't remember exactly how or when the bootloop started.

Hello,
I've Samsung Galaxy SM-J701F/DS and i did factory reset and started getting into panic mode. So, I tried to flash stock ROM through odin and I only selected AP and left other files like Bl, CP and CSC. Thus it took longer time without any result so, I closed the odin. Since then my phone only boots in download mode.
And while trying recovery or normal boot I get " Error Cannot Update Software ".
I used this ROM:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/...-nxt/SM-J701F
And now my phone is showing as Samsung USB Modem while plugging in PC.
