1) Use proper topic tiles. Titles are supposed to be descriptive. This title in no way describes the content. Using titles like "hlp plz", "please help", "Urgent help needed" etc are idiotic.
2) This is not a questions or general forum or a section to create n00b topics, This is a development forum for developers etc to post "developments", "mods" etc, Not this crap.
You want to create topics/questions do it in the questions/general forum, Should be common sense really which seems to escape some people.
send bac to samsung... xD mine even worst than urs... i cant even hv d s2 logo...
@theatheist, this is a Q&A forum. This is not the wrong place to post such a question.
I suggest you remove battery, leave for a bit, then insert and restart. If that forces it into recovery then reflash the stock rom. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do...

No boot & no download mode = you're boned. JTAG repair or service centre.

BRICK help

I bricked my Sprint S3 trying to flash Omega. It wont even turn on no matter what i do, and trust me I have tried it all. So I have found a few vids about usb jigs and how to use them. So if im able to get in download mode what should I push thru odin? Was there or is there a .tar somewhere that brings you back to stock?
someone please help.
Anything you find here will be for the international version, and as you know now, won't be compatible with the us versions.
Try the us versions forums and see if anyone has anything that can help.

Chances are you killed that poor Galaxy S III, R.I.P.
Custom ROMs are meant for the International Version of Galaxy S III (GT-I9300) and if Im correct the one from Sprint is a variant.
The only way to have this fixed is to send it for JTag (Forced Download Mode via Hardware manipulation)
u flash rom which is made for international s3 .. I think that's y u brick

Like a champ .
fixboot tar
if you can get into download mode you can flash a tar called fixboot found on the at&t section of the galaxy s3 on this site. It worked for mine when it wouldnt come off of the dreaded download screen with the yellow exclamation triangle on it. Just a thought. it works on the sprint version too.
If you can get a replacement phone though insurance or otherwise.. do that.
otherwise jtag repair from Josh worked but i had no lte coverage.
i am sure he has the updated tools to fix that now. but be carefull out there and learn your phones model number.

Can i flash rom with odin and how
He's also asking about what to do on an SPH-D710 in the GT-I9100 forum.
OP, do NOT flash anything from this forum. The device that this forum is for is the GT-I9100, which is a different device than the Sprint Galaxy SII. The GT-I9100 is a GSM phone that doesn't even work on Sprint's network.

Go to the Epic 4G Touch forum I linked you to above.
You won't find answers here in the I9100 forum.

That might be, but that doesn't change the fact that the device you are working with is an Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710), and not an I9100. I9100 users will typically not be able to help you, and files in this forum will not get you out of the situation you have created by doing just that; using a file from this forum, on a device that it was not meant for.
You will find many E4GT users have done the same. They were all likewise directed to the correct forum.

Hello guys..
I would like you to go through XDA new users guide and you must read the FORUM RULES before posting here or anywhere else on xda.
The rate at which the new users are joining xda on daily basis is very high. A lot of users join because they have got some problems with their devices like bricked phone, bootloops etc. because of following incorrect processes. Some join to help out others, to share their knowledge and gain more.
So basically this thread is for all of those who want to ask questions and answer those.
So those who want to help here, just try to answer without flaming, let it be answered thousands of times earlier, show them the path, direction and let them do things on their own. Do not spoon feed, rather just try to point them to right direction.
This whole idea is of @undercover and the former OP Bruce Wayne and I thank him.

Hey sorry for not replying,
As I am not in scripting, I am completely unaware of such things. I tried hard with the search but couldn't find anything useful. I didn't reply because I was expecting a reply from someone with answer. I saw your thread but it is also unanswered.
You can try asking help from the people in your section working on kernels and shell scripts.
Thanks.

Hi, I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I've got this problem where it freezes upon reaching the "4G" logo on startup. I looked online for answers and someone recommended to "Odin a stock ROM from your PC", and then they posted a link to this site. Now, I have no idea how to Odin, or what a stock ROM is, so could anyone help me out?

Yes.
Welcome to XDA.
Please go to your device's forum using the search your device box from site. type samsung galaxy s2 and choose your device from the options. Look for the stock odin firmwares thread there. Download the one from your region, see the instructions given on flashing there. If you don't understand the instructions, check out youtube videos for that.
Odin is a easy process and just needs instructions to be followed correctly.
And inform us here when you recover your phone again.

So here I am with my question:
I own a samsung galaxy grand
So i installed the Cyanogenmod 10.1
But I am unable to make calls, it says turn off airplane mode, which i did, rebooted and all
here is the weird part:
I CAN receive calls from other phones but cannot make calls because my phone is still in airplane mode even i removed it from airplane mode.
So can anyone help me?

Hi,
Make sure you close samsung kies when you try to use odin.
As for flashing anything from odin, you will need to boot into download mode (vol. Down + power + home) after switching phone off. Then press vol. up, you will see a warning, first and after that comes the downloading screen.
Now make sure drivers are installed correctly, open odin, and now connect phone with usb cable, wait for some time till it shows a yellow box saying COM : ID xxx , something like that and now you can flash relevent files through relevent options. Wait for pass (green) signal and you're done.

That seems crazy, if it shows flight mode, you should also not be able to recieve calls. Seems a problem with the rom. Try wiping cache/dalvick cache /data from cwm/twrp and see if it fixes the bug. If not contact the rom developer or flash another/stock rom and reflash CM 10.1 to see if the problem persists.
Also welcome.

Well, I have gone through your thread. Please can you confirm if it is same result with different firmware? If the problem still persists, please take your phone to service centre. Act as dumb and don't let them know that you have tried rooting. They will get it fixed for you.

Help black screen of death for s4!

Hey guys, I was flashing a KToonz kernel today and all of a sudden I got stuck on a black screen of death and even when I pull my battery, it won't fix itself. I can't get into recovery mode but I can enter Download mode. PLEASE HELP ANYONE! =(!
Flash the mdk firmware thru odin. Its in the dev sub forum. Youll have to start over with rooting but youll have a working phone.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
Try just the mdk kernel package first. I don't like full phone wipes unless it's necessary.

Yeah wat the 2 post above sounds good. If u can enter dl mode like u stated u can just odin back.

This happened to me three times this week, lol while trying to flash different kernels. I think it was because the zip file was corrupted.
Yup. Get to Download Mode, connect to computer, open up Odin, and i believe the tar.md5 file of the kernel is available somewhere, and just load it up into the PDA section. That will fix everything.
I would reflash your rom after this tho, cuz i saw some minor bugs here and there.
