does the phone have to be in USB Debugging mode, if so im stuck

Do not worry of USB Debugging mode.
Follow this steps just use kernel from attachments.
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select siyah.tar
- Put your phone in download mode(vol down+power+menu button)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot

Ive used Odin to reflash my phone with Siyah 6.04.tar kernel. According to Odin everything was ok but when phone rebooted i got the Samsung Galaxy SII screen this time with the yellow triangle and then the phone goes blank, ie turns off and nothing else

In recovery mode clean cache, dalvik cache and fix permision, if this dont help install new rom.

It is up to you. My is in my signature(I'm satisfied with it).

Maybe try Flash Stock rom ? And then Flash XXLSJ ?

Basically you stuck in a boot loop ...reason behind it is bad boot img., according to me. You can try restoring only system (in advance restore) or the entire nandroid itself, This is only if you have a backup done before.

[Q] HELP Samsung Galaxy S2 keeps restarting

Im a noob, so basically I rooted my phone and went into CWM recovery to flash a new ROM but stupid me didnt back up my stock ROM, and also I totally fogot to download a Custom ROM onto my sd card, so I went into CWM and cleared cache, clear data/factory reset, and rebooted but then it kept turning on and kept on doing that, the samsung logo comes on then keeps repeating.
After I went in cwm again and clear davnik cache, wipe cache, wipe data/factory reset a load of time randomly but it still didnt work PLEASEE HELP IM A STUPID NOOB AND I only got this new!!!
you didnt flash anything so it should still be fine, just without your data,you can get into recovery or download mode why not flash a new rom in odin?,your phone is still fine.look for a stock rom to revert
Your phone will take 5 to 10 minutes to boot after clearing cache, so if you are sure your mobile doesn't boot after 10 minutes then you have two alternatives .
1. Boot into cwm, connect your mobile to PC, mount your sdcard via cwm, copy the custom rom and flash it.
2. Download a stock from and flash it via odin
#*posted on the move *#
Flash again
1. Download a new stock rom from samfirmware.com
2. Save it to your pc
3. Get odin 1.85
4. Put your phone in download mode make sure battery is at least 50%, by holding down volume down, power and home key
5. Once in download mode press volume up to continue
6. Now on your pc you installed open odin 1.85 open the program
7. Connect the usb cable to phone first then to your pc.
8. Wait for the first box in odin to come yellow
9. Once it does click on 'pda' and find the stock firmware you downloaded do remember do not extract it nothing.
10. Once you have selected the file it will appear in the PDA section sometimes depending on the stock rom there might be 3 files so you may need to put the other files in the section above and below PDA so make sure you read this before anything.
11. Once done click start
Once the box turns green it will say passed and your phone will reboot and you will have successfully installed the original firmware back again.
Anything you dont understand reply back.

Phone bricked, help needed!!

Hi guys
I have just flashed Omega v8.1 to my phone and reflashed CWM touch, rebooted into recovery and now my phone won't boot. It turns on and just displays the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I have tried flashing via the Galaxy s 3 toolkit but this requires USB debugging to be enabled. It looks as though it is not enabled as the toolkit does not recognise my phone.. The only thing I can do is boot it into download mode.
Any clues??
Thanks
If you can go on download mode, then flash stock firmware via odin.

Firstly your phone is fine, it can be easily fixed one way or another.
Can you still boot into recovery?
If not, reflash recovery using ODIN via Download mode
Once you have access to the recovery, try wiping the following:
Data/Factory reset
Cache
Dalvik Cache
Format /system (probably not required but just in case)
And then reflash the omega ROM, making sure it is not corrupt; maybe redownload/check MD5 sum to be sure.
If, for whatever reason you are still having problems with the phone not booting into Android, I would try flashing a different ROM for the time being.
Also, you posted this in the wrong section
Just flash the stock rom?
Yep bricked phone isn't really a problem, unless it's hardware related.

Ive tried flashing stock ROM via ODIN through the toolkit but this requires USB debugging mode. The issue is not with Omega as I was able to use my phone after flashing, I think the CWM flash didnt work properly.
How else can I flash via ODIN, the toolkit is the only way I know.
Thanks for the comments guys...

I d say, simply get odin separately, then re-create the same settings as when the toolkit does it.
It really is very simple once you ve done it once or twice Don t panic and take the time to make sure the right boxes are checked and double-triple check then reboot in Download mode, plug it in then gogo !

If I select flash via odin in the toolkit (option 8), it says make sure that USB debugging is enabled... If i try and continue it just waits for usb debugging and does not flash.

You can use odin without the toolkit for the meantime, just run it and put your phone on downlod mode

Ok, sry, then the toolkit reboots your device first to download mode via adb, take the already given advice to use Odin itself, just download it put the Rom tar (or tar.md5) into pda, make sure that only auto reboot and reset time is checked, reboot to download mode continue by pressing up, plugin the cable and press the start button at Odin.
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9300 mit Tapatalk 2
Forget running the toolkit, forget USB debugging mode. You do not need it for now.
And there is no need to download or setup ODIN or anything like that.
Just go to folder/directory where you installed the toolkit (usually C:\Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit) and look for the file called 'Odin3_v3.07' or 'Odin3_v3.04' or whatever version you find. Then run it; tada, ODIN is running now!
Now, put your phone in download mode. To do this, hold VOL DOWN and HOME and POWER buttons together and let go when you see the 'Samsung Galaxy S III' logo come up.
Then it will load up a screen that says press VOL UP to continue (and enter download mode). Press it.
Now it should say 'Downloading do not turn off target!'
Connect your USB Cable and proceed to flash a new CWM recovery using ODIN
Then once you have flashed a new recovery, boot into it (VOL UP & HOME & POWER buttons together).
Then follow my instructions from my previous post.

If you want to flash a stock ROM instead of CWM + Custom ROM then you can do that via ODIN as well.

Then:
Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot into Android and see if that has fixed it; if not, then go back to CWM recovery and do the following:

Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Format /system (probably not required but just in case)
And then flash Omega ROM again
how? CMW is not opening the phone is only able to open in download mode nothing else. Its a fault with OMEGA 8.1 mods or maybe siyah beta kernal

boot to recovery mode and perform a factory reset. Reboot your phone
Your device should boot now , if the flashing process was error- free.

[Q] Phone won't boot, can access download and recovery mode.

Ok there, guys.
Before I start, yes I'm an idiot, yes I'm a huge noob, no I don't know what I'm doing.
Basically, I have a SGS2 and I was trying to install Cyanogenmod 10.1.
I used Heimdall to (flash?) install ClockworkMod Recovery and it worked.
I realised that I hadn't put the Cyanogenmod .zip on my phone before I installed CWM.
I got up to rebooting my phone so I could transfer the zip but after the Galaxy splash screen nothing happened.
The screen just stays black and doesn't do anything.
I can access Download and Recovery mode so that's good.
I only have access to a Mac at the moment so I have to use the Heimdall command line.
If anybody could help it would be great, thanks!

Put your forgotten .zip on an sd card put it in your phone. Boot to recovery and install. Then do full wipe and you should be good to go.

Flash a stock rom and start from scratch. Get stock rom file from xda or sammobile (NOT A 4.0.4 ics rom tho.) flash via odin/Heimdall in download mode. it will boot up when done turn it off and reboot to recovery and do full wipe. redo your flash with missing .zip.
good luck

I flashed a 4.1.2 stock rom onto my phone but it still doesn't work.
I flashed the phone, it automatically rebooted, when the Samsung logo came up I took out the battery, went to recovery mode, wiped cache and full wipe, hit reboot and now it just stays on the Samsung logo, pulsing blue and what not.
I also did the same thing and instead of taking out the battery I just left it in there after the first reboot and the same thing happened.
How can I fix this?

What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
I have since become a S3 ... I have rooted it and wanted to play another Rome.
First I flashed my Carbon ... that was wonderful, but I had no wifi. Then I tried another Rom (with aroma installer). When I had WiFi, but since I have the menu did not like it and it was me too many Samsung Apps.
Now I have flashed me the Resurrection Remix, but the S3 boots constantly new to the CWM.
The same I have with CM11.
What am I doing wrong please?

You need to install exactly like below don't miss any steps
-Installation-
1.- Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from STOCK OR 4.2.X version or another ROM)
2.- Install the Main ROM
3- install gapps
4.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced
5.- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6.- Fix Permissions

If it still not working flash TWRP recovery and use that to flash the rom
Hey,
I just did it. Then came the Samsung logo, phone restarts and I'm back in the CWM.
Have just flashed TWRP reboot (via CWM) Recovery and but still have CWM.
Grrrrrr ...... what for now
Better download official firmware from Sammobile and install thru Odin. Then Root and carry on with your favorite custom rom.
Yes I agree with KSKHH if problem still there return to stock with odin and start again..
