So on my tab i was running AOKP ICS and got stuck in a bootloop on the unicorn screen. After reading around i decided it would be best to just odin back to stock and unroot. After watching the video and reading up i downloaded the files and while in the process, odin said" PASS" and all looked good until my tab was in recovery mode trying to finish the process. The tab keeps getting stuck at the "copying Common APKS" part of the transfer and just keeps restarting and trying to "copying common APKS" manually. i really have no idea what to do at this point and just want to be able to use my tab..
Can someone please help me out here....

Hi...Did you find a fix for this?
Sorry for not posting a solution here but I'm in the same predicament as you
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating Application...
Copying 'XEU' apk.
Copying Common Apks.
Then goes to load screen then just goes to the manual mode screen again. Tried flashing a stock rom with odin but the same thing happens over and over.
Did you find a solution?
Btw I'm using samsung galaxy tab 10.1 p7510 had the aokp jelly bean rom before i tried to flash it back to stock rom with odin
I'm assuming its soft bricked considering I can get in to download mode but no recovery so there has to be something i can flash to it via odin to get it back to stock...
Always backup or always have a stock rom ready
OK one thing I hate about forums is... people get in to sticky situations and beg for people to find them a solution but if no one has one they abandon the post even if they find a solution themselves they don't bother to edit the post and mention if they got out of the mess or not....
I don't want to jump on the band wagon there.
I did manage to unbrick my soft bricked tab even though I couldn't go back in to recovery. The downloading screen is a life saver if you can access that there is hope yet.
All you need to do is go to your manufacturers website see if they have a firmware or better yet just search google for the stock rom of your device and flash it back and you should be good to go. If possible try and make sure the firmware you flash to restore is legit. The one I flashed over and over didn't even though I've used it before I downloaded a different one though and hey presto.
I hope that helps anyone who's sweating like mad rubbing their forehead thinking they just f**ked £600 down the drain scouring google's database in search of a solution.
Have a nice day

Remove the USB from the phone, remove battery.
Place the battery back in your phone and get back into DOWNLOAD MODE
Close Odin
Run Odin as Administrator
Select the 512 PIT FIle
Select the T959UVJFD.tar file for PDA
Plug in your phone (Make sure you see a COM Port come up)

as you i had the same problem and finally got it to work by watching this video on you tube:
1.go to you tube
2.search for flash vibrant
3.first video should be "Flashing Firmware with Odin on Samsung Vibrant" by ZDoomentral, its a 3:00 min video
(sorry can't post direct link but i a restricted since i am a new user)
pay close attention as to how he gets his phone into DOWNLOAD MODE, thats where i was going wrong, and just follow the directions of the video.
my phone is up and running with stock kernel and re-rooted it
man i just want to say i just had this same issue happen to be... im a truck driver and having my phone is serious... mainly to play games or what not...but i just got some from Minnesota and tried the odin method and saw that video on you which help give me a visual and its back up ... im very happy... sad to say it was a careless mistake somewhere but i did a back like i always do and it didnt work for some reason...i had a g1 before this vibrant and ive flashed a lots of roms... but anyway i wanna thank everyone one this forum ... i got my phone back
Does this restart the WHOLE THING? because I have information I didn't backup :/
Yes. It deletes EVERYTHING. Just like it's brand out of the box.
I recommend using Titanium Backup and back all your apps. ALWAYS ALWAYS, do a Nandroid backup before flashing ANYTHING.

If you have adb up and running & have the ability to get into recovery while you're bricked you can do aN adb pull before flashing
Adb remount
Adb pull /sdcard
After un-bricking you can adb push the folders back
When I did it..it flash back to stock but I have titanium back up so mt phone is back to how I had it ...and I still have every thing else back on, like my movies music etc..

I was trying to help my friend with his Vibrant and now it's stuck at the splash screen in a loop. I can't seem to get it to download mode or recovery or anything. I've pulled the battery, held down both vol keys while pushing power. Any time I connect the usb, it just starts up the boot loop without giving me a chance to do anything else. I can never get to the green charging battery. Any ideas?
I guess I could provide more info... We had rooted the phone multiple times, but Superuser would FC every time. So, we decided to flash eugene's froyo build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740558). That's when I got the boot loop. Odin said it was finished, and it did not go into recovery. It just started boot looping. Maybe I didn't wait long enough before hitting the power? I'm not sure. Anyway. I'm stuck.
EDIT: Unstuck now. I guess I just need to not panic and read more. I held both VOL keys in while connecting to USB and it went into downloading mode. SO, I flash a stock 2.1 ROM and it's back to the way it was. Calling works fine. No data though. Apparently, that was one of the issues before. I'll try rooting again, but it seems like there's another issue. Also... No settings survive reboots. Like turning on USB debugging... Strange.
So I want to to root my Vibrant but I can't...Every way I tried it needed to reboot my vibrant to recovery didn't work...
I tried GS Tweaker, ONeSuperClick, rom manager, terminal emulator.....
I got my update.zip file into my SD card but Im stuck with the rebooting thing
I tried all the ways of rebooting: the manual rebooting, Android SDK application... everything thing, I spent the whole day finding ways, watching videos and reading from vibrant wiki..
So what I reached to yesterday is:
while I was talking to one of the pro of android in one of the chat room somewhere, he said maybe because my phone needs "hardware updating" that the buttons can't reboot something like that (since I'm not in the states and I cant get OTA updates from T-mobile)... so I need to download ODIN and find Samsung drivers...
can anyone help me in this please?
try http://www.akaskriller.com/free/flashing.php
there are some files that you may need to ODIN. good luck, hope it works out.

first try pulling out your battery.....then put it back in...then hold both volume buttons while you turn it back on w/ the power button....when the black samsung screen pops up let them go...the phone should go into the stock 2e recovery...

So I know how annoying the "help me, I'm bricked" threads are but I really couldn't find the answer to my problem anywhere. I tried to flash the Euro firmware on a Chinese Ace. I've done this several times before on other phones and have never hit these types of bumps. It started with me trying to flash from froyo, I didn't see anywhere in the tutorial saying not to but because I couldn't find any firmwares that weren't just a onepackage I ended up just trying that. Well now I'm aware that was stupid because the flash never went through after a long time of waiting and now the phone hangs at a screen with a computer and a phone on it with a yellow ! sign. Pretty sure that's bad. I tried the tutorial on here about unbricking but its not working. I eventually found the right files to flash that weren't onepackage but now its too late because even those wont take. What can I do here? Anything? I really don't know what to do, its not my phone and I was just doing it as a favour for a friend because the phone was pretty useless with the Chinese firmware, but not this useless...
Does phone start in downloading mod?
And you write lots thing but not understand properly that you flashed one package or need one package firmware.
Onepackage firmware for galaxy ace you will find at samfirmware.com or sammobile.com
I can start in Download mode but its still not letting me flash anything with odin.
I never was able to get any firmware on it and now its not starting up.
remove ur battery, press the three button combination for download mode, and while u push those three button just insert the battery again. now it should magically go into download mode and u can flash other rom. u should ask someone to help u tho, its damn hard to do this alone
fixed!
Fixed it! So here's what I did for anyone who gets into a similar problem. First off, I never had a problem getting into downloading mode, so this wasn't a full blown brick I guess. I couldn't get Odin to finish the transfer, always hung at the beginning. So after going a little crazy I just kept doing it over and over, couldn't hurt, and then I started moving to one of the different USB ports. I have 7 and just kept trying them. Finally on the very last one it worked. Full transfer and this Chinese brick thinks I'm in the UK sippin on tea and crumpets! It sounds crazy but just moving around to different USB's did it!
Well, I can add up some more info about this case. I bought my Ace from China and i have never stumbled upon any problem flashing other firmwares.
Okay, So I am as NOOB as NOOB can be,
I got a used SGS2 (Bell/Virgin), I am on Telus so I figured, how hard can it be to unlock it instead of paying some dude to do it for me? (First mistake, and have been humbled every step of the way since!...)
Anyway I will try to keep this relatively short (it will be difficult)... ...I read a few things online and saw that I needed ODIN and a Rooting software, I originally used SuperOneClick, and to download the right insecure kernel to match my original one etc... ...problem is I obviously didn't read nearly enough when I started because I was almost done and then there was a hiccup when SuperOneClick said that I needed to enable SU in Kies. So I decided to go into Kies to try and do so but the instructions before I started Rooting said to put the phone in USB debugging mode. Apparently Kies doesn't see the phone if it is in that mode. Well by this time I can't get past the logo screen and this is where my downward spiral begins.
I then tried to unroot the phone to go back to stock but didn't really know what I was doing and then I read something about the cache needing to be wiped and then after that I read that maybe my OS was wiped. So at this point I did lots of reading (what I should have done in the first place) and most of anything useful I found was on XDA so that is why I am here. It seemed like yes, in fact my OS was wiped because of one of my not so S-M-R-T actions. So I fumbled through and found the right OS for my S2 and I had ODIN going strong and I had the OS loading, the green bar getting bigger in ODIN and the blue bar working it's way across the screen of my S2...I thought "finally!!, I rock!!"... ...then for some reason everything stopped! I had seen in a post that I had to uninstall Kies before doing anything, which I did...but I didn't see until after the fact that my anti-virus likely interfered (I didn't disable it for the process before I started).
At that point of course I was left with a phone that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So then I was afraid to try anything else because many say to steer clear of Kies and also I had read that I may need a USB jig to be able to get it back into download mode because all I was getting was the "firmware upgrade issue" screen. I did make a USB jig with a resistance of 300K Ohms and I *can* get the phone into download mode. (Though another concern is that when I plug the USB jig in and it brings the phone into download mode, the counter is not reset and I read that that was supposed to be reset by the jig.)
So last night I got brave and decided to try and run ODIN and to have another attempt at installation of OS. Now I can get ODIN to detect the phone, but I put the I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_I9100MXXLD3_HOME.tar.md5 file into the PDA section of ODIN and it starts and gets to the part where it says loading firmware or something and then bootload.bin and it stayed like that for like, an hour and then I gave up, fearing that I am just going to screw it up even more.
So now I decided that I am not even close to knowing what to do next but every time I found anything to move forward it was on this site so I figured I may as well join the site since I have been here so often. Now I am hoping for some kind of miracle...so, in advance, please please please and thank you thank you thank you all for your input. (Sorry for the length of this I just wanted to get all the info I could into this)
Its quite a long story and didnt bother reading it.
If you can still access your phone via odin at downloadmode. Flash a stock firmware for your device and it should fix if it is just a soft brick.

Sorry for the length of the story, I thought there may be alot of useful info mixed in with the useless info... ...when you say use stock firmware do you mean the kernel or the actual OS? I tried loading ICS onto it (which I thought was stock but I may be wrong). Is it supposed to be gingerbread or something else? Also where would I find a good file for it.
Thank you again for any input, very much appreciated!
Hey ,
I also have a Virgin Samsung S2 i9100 and the first time I tried rooting it, it got stuck on the screen with the yellow triangle and wouldnt move at all. I believe it was bricked?
anyways, I m not sure I totally understand your situation, but I solved my problem using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21493413
look it under the i9100M section. hope this helps

Thank you all so much for your help, I could not get it to work after several tries, I even tried three or 4 different USB cables and ports on my PC and still no. I read on another thread that one person tried another PC and it worked so I tried my friend's laptop and it worked!...my SGS2 boots up and all that now! Very very happy thank you all.
Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE (sch-i905)
So I got this tablet from a friend who said it was bricked, said I could have it if I got it working. So I plug it in and it turns on no problem, strange. wiped tablet and added a couple apps. Got busy at work and the tablet drain power. That's when I got to see it bricked, but still not sure why it booted for a bit for me.
Symptoms:
Boots to Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 splash screen (not the animated one after), sits there for ever.
Boots to Odin update mode
When booting to recovery I get a blank, back lit screen and nothing ever.
I've tried:
-Pushing clockwork mode to fix recovery
-I've had a hell of a time finding stock firmware for some reason (it isn't on sammobile), but I did find one eventually. I pushed it to the tablet via Odin, and it was successful, but rebooted to blank black back-lit screen. Have to hard boot and hold power buttun until I see the splash screen to get that far. I followed the guide on rootzwiki reposted on icsforums - www icsforums com/forum/showthread / 13525 (sorry new member can't post links)
-Followed another guide that involved draining battery completely, no go.
I don't care what firmware I end up on, or if I can use LTE (I won't anyway)
I'm a network engineer so I'm tech savy, but not heavy on Android OS. I'm looking for anything else I can try. I saw another method involving heimdall suite, but can't find the files for my model.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
@Juicebox4242
I had this problem on my gt-p7510...
What I ended up doing was wiping my sdcard..I must have had something corrupt in my file system or a kernel issue( still not sure which )..
Since you have no recovery..I think you can use odin to repartition ( I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THIS IS JUST A GUESS )..I have not tried it..but i will search after this post to confirm..I also believe there is a way using ADB..again not sure..
I just wanted to post this so you would know somebody was looking and to maybe give you a couple ideas to follow up on...I'll search around and see what I find
Edit...I believe ADB will only work with usb debugging checked...But you can flash a stock rom in odin with re-partition checked..you need a .pit file....I think...
Edit...Here is a link to a stock rom thread for you're device..It seems to have helped a couple people with their soft-bricked devices..just follow directions in OP..no repartition checked. I cant even find a .pit file to do a re-partition with for you're device..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342995 Let me know if this works for you..
Thanks for the post!! Really appreciate it.
That firmware is the one I found in the end and tried. Odin pushes it ok, but then still doesn't boot. In fact after pushing that firmware it boots to backlit blank screen, but when hard reset boots to splash screen.
I tried a pit file I found that I thought was the right one, but it failed when I used that so it must have been wrong.

I have the exact same problem as you, except sometimes I can't my tablet to boot. I know it is a software problem because before I was messing with recovery yesterday, everything was working just fine. All I wanted to do was restore to factory settings and instead ended up bricking the device... If you find / know the answer, please do share.

Did you ever get this fixed? I've had the same problem for months. I just gave up and put it away. I recently fixed a Galaxy Tab 2 and now I want to see if anyone else was able to fix this i905 not booting issue.
did anyone know the solution of this question
