Try imageshark.us or imagevenue.com to upload to an url.
Or post as an attachment.
I think it's force download, flash any Stock ROM via Odin.

need urgent help
Forced download mode. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin (search XDA for instructions).
Edit - And while you might think it's urgent, people will help you when someone who is able to help reads your thread. Not before. Be patient once you make a thread.

sorry my bad....
i try flash with odin but it wont boot to download mode...
when i turn off and turn on again...it still same image appeare...
Keep trying to get into download mode. Turn phone off, hold power/home/volume down. If you still can't get into DL mode, try a jig. If you still can't get into DL mode even with a jig, service centre.

hold the button needed to go into odin mode and once the screen appears, try using odin. that happened to my phone once. i took my phone out in the middle of an odin update. the same screen appeared. i just put it back in and odin worked fine.
OP - I just realised something when I was outside having a smoke just now. The phone *is* already in download mode when you have those symbols on the screen (had a blonde moment earlier). It's just a matter of getting Odin to recognise the phone.
So....You need to try as many of the below steps as you need to in order to have Odin recognise the phone:-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (If you're using V3, use V1.3, and if that doesn't work use V1.85; search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Run Windoze Update.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
if odin doesn't recognize your device, maybe your PC doesn't have USB drivers installed.
I faced this problem when i tried to flash NeatROM but failed, and I want to get it back with the older kernel using odin, but my laptop doesn't recognize the device. I have tried different ports, but still the same.
I got the solutions by reading this thread, and finally getting directed to THIS THREAD.
- Download SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe, and install it on your PC.
- Open ODIN whatever version and plug your device (at this point odin should recognize your device)
- flash the kernel you want
I hope my post will help

So you can get into download mode? Can you get into recovery?

i can get in download mode just fine.
i havent been able to get into recovery at all
Maybe try flashing a different Odin file like Fishman's Bionix and see if that jars something loose. Maybe a change of files is all you need.
@Toast - he said he tried Odin a few times, so he can get into DLmode, I assume. I wonder if he flashes just the Pit file, if it would do anything. Maybe flash the Pit file alone and then flash the PDA and Pit file together after that. Jsut pulling straws here on that one but I would try my first suggestion though.

How does Odin act when your phone is connected to it in download mode?
As Woodrube stated, I would try a couple of his suggestions. Try a different USB port, preferably not one in front, but a hard mounted USB in back would he great. (Not a PCI addon).
I too suggest you try to flash an Odin image of fishmans bionix.
See where that takes us.
Edit: you answered most of this while I was waiting on my post to post.
Try grabbing that bionix ROM Odin file and flashing that.

i cant even boot up the phone now screen is completely black
When you try to get into download mode now, you might not get the yellow triagle/android with the shovel but make sure the Yellow Com button lights up in Odin. Might take you a few tries to get into DLmode now but once you do,
Fishman has multiple Odin images that can be used that alreayd have root and custom recovery included. Get one of those to boot up and you are good to go on to your next ROM.

I'm getting my Google on. Can you get the Yellow Com box to light up? Phone doesn't have to show power or anything on screen to get that. I know you don't have the Phone..!..Computer but it is good directions on how pesky DLmode can be.

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

Edit:: Just to rule this out and I by no means want this to reflect badly, but your signature says At&t GS3. Did you flash to correct PIT file for the Vibrant? Just wondering bc there is no reason it should be hardbricked by just flashing files through Odin unless the bootloader got corrupted, whcih you didn't touch those.

Well, its possible that it is/will get into download mode and the screen still stay off.. it can look dead as a field mouse and still work in Odin.
Just keep trying
Pull battery, button combo for download mode plug in and see if Odin will finally see it. Then flash Fishmans Bionix w/ his Odin files. I don't see really how you could be bricked for any long term or anything.

Hey guys, so on fishmans odin pda as soon as odin finishes the phone, does not go to recovery like it says, in the direction it just goes straight to the battery!
Good evening friends, dev and other community members, recently my galaxy player connect to computer for music happen all good so far, when I go back to check if I end up spending the entire music encounter the following message on the screen of the Galaxy Player "Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
Do not let me enter recovery mode and when I can go to download mode and give the up volume key returns to the same screen, besides the samsung kies does not recognize it, I should clarify that this model only has physical volume buttons and power.
It would be helpful and useful if anyone knows how to fix this error.
Thanks in advance :good:
Well, I don't see how this is development for one. But concerning your problem, it sounds odd. Are you saying that it won't even let you enter download mode? Does your player even boot, or is it bricked? Have you tried to see if you can enter recovery mode?

I know and I apologize I think is not the right section for this question.
When trying to enter download mode goes indeed to ask you to continue pressing the volume up again the same screen, I can not enter recovery mode falls on the same screen and not a brick if the galaxy player.
I let you capture the screen, please respond and apologize to the trouble my friend.:good:

I am having the EXACT same problem. Except when I try to use Close PC Screen using Heimdall, even with device detected, I get this error:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
I have reinstalled the drivers numerous times. Also, the same download mode problem. When I press continue to use ODIN download mode, it goes right back to the firmware upgrade error screen. Odin does recognize it while it is on the the firmware upgrade error screen, but it fails when trying to flash a ROM.
Thanks for the help.

Ik this is kind of a late answer, but odin should be able to reflash the device, and if not, try rebooting the computer to see if you can get it to work again. That's how i got mine to turn on..But the dang touchscreen still doesn't work
Major Problem
Hi guys. I notice it has been a while since anyone posted anything in this thread, but today I encountered a serious problem. My Galaxy Player is stuck in the same position as the one mentioned in this thread, but I reached it in a different way. I was trying to flash the rooted ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864741 : I have the US Version) using odin, and I followed all the steps. While doing it, Odin said it had failed, then I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen on my player. I can't enter download mode and my computer doesn't recognize it. The few times it does, it just says "Connecting.." in Kies and won't go past that. I've looked everywhere and couldn't find anything that works. Is there anything I can do? I feel like its just a soft brick but I really don't know. Please help.
I randomly get this while using heimdall to flash the cwm kernel. I just flash again until it works. The firmware error is the same as Odin download mode as far as I can tell.

Hi all ,
i had installed an official galaxy s2 4.1.2 rom ,and it worked perfectly. However ,all of a sudden ,it looked like it automatically updated ,and got stucked at "Optimizing app 2 of 9" or something like that . I waited for a while ,when nothing changed i have pulled out the battery and tried restarting it. So it just showed the samsung logo and didnt boot. When i tried entering the recovery mode ,it just stucked with the green JB icon..basically i could just login to download mode . I have tried flashing the rom again via odin ,but it got stucked at "factory.img" and eventually wrote "FAIL" in red . I have tried numerous roms ,stock roms but nothing seemed to work.(same problem). Now when i power up the device ,it says "Firware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I have tried flashing just the ClockworkMOD recovery ,but it also got stucked at "NAND Write Start!" and did nothing...
Another thing is ,that im afraid that i was running a really low space on my internal storage (16 gb) and im afraid that this is why nothing can be installed on my device..Could it be possible?
If so ,is there some way to access my storage somehow without booting up my device? Or in a worse case , how can i wipe my storage before the odin flashes?
Thanks in advance.

Try another odin version/usb cable/usb port/another pc/laptop.
I have tried different usb ports ,different computer and also different Odin version.
When i am trying to flash a complete rom ,it stucks at factoryfs.img,and if i am flashing just a kernel ,it stucks at "NAND Write Start" ...I have only one usb cable though , but it should be working fine because i was able to transfer files with it not long ago.
Could it be that lack of storage on my internal card is causing this kind of problem...?
Which sgs2 model do you have? (I9100, I9100G, I9100M, I9100P, I9100?, etc etc etc).
Which specific rom/files did you flash? (link)
These are the questions you should have answered in your first post prior to writing anything else. Without this info anything else you write is useless.
Can you provide screen shot of ODIN before clicking flash button.
Thanks for reply ,i will post soon the screenshot ,just need to gain one more post (10 or more

device's internal memory corrupted, can't write/read it.
That's what partitions (pit files) are for.
Well ,that didnt work as well...same scenario. I tried flashing just the rom via pda ,i tried all 4 files at the same time ,i tried just the pit...always got stucked.
I guess i will take it to my mobile service provider ,unless there is something else i could try?
P.S - If my internal card is corrupted , will they be able to see i flashed a custom rom and rooted the device?

Lol, don't just flash pit files.
Read something about pit files first. There are a lot of threads regarding this topic.
Still stucked in boot right? no back up whatsoever?
Flash different siya's versions, see if you can get to recovery. When you do, try flashing a rom via CMW.
I will try to make a long story short. A couple of weeks ago I connected my I9300 international (bought in France) to a Macbook Air using Kies. Kies froze and I closed it, and disconnected the phone. I soon found out that the phone was not working, apparently because Kies had started an upgrade that never finished.
I reconnected the phone to the Macbook+Kies, but this did not recgonize the phone any more. After reading a lot from the internet, I realized
1. When I turn on the phone, I get a striped blank screen
2. I could not put the phone in recovery mode
3. I still can get to the download screen
Note that this phone was NOT rooted, and had the original firmware, Android 4.1.1.
Since then, I tried everything I could find on the net. In summary,
1. tried to flash a stock ROM using Odin, but I get a message saying that "there is no PIT partition"
2. I then tried to flash a PIT file. But Odin stops at "get PIT for mapping..." and nothing else happens
3. Also tried the S3 Toolkit, but it will not list the serial and apparently does not recognize the phone
I have read all I could find, and ran short of ideas. Could anyone help me please??? :crying:
maybe this will help.
Still no joy

Thanks for the relevant link. I read it all, almost like a dramatic soap opera, every chapter rising in tension. Well, this is what I did.
1. Changed to another computer, now a laptop, virgin of Samsung drivers
2. Installed the drivers from link provided in the indicated thread
3. Downloaded Odin 3.07 again
4. Dowloaded the 3-part firmware as indicated by SirKunon
5. Loaded Odin with mx.pit, code, csc and modem files
6. Connected the phone in dowload mode, drivers were installed, got the "Added" msg and blue ID:COM square
7. Clicked start and got stuck again at "Get PIT for mapping" - see image below
I repeated from 5, now using another USB port. Drivers loaded again, and now I said I did not want Windows to look for drivers on the web. It installed local drivers. I crossed fingers, hit start, got stuck.
Any furter ideas???

One of the two , You probably damaged your nand or your phone has the sudden death (Since you are on 4.1.1) Take it to the service center and play dumb

never checked re-partition while flashing via odin! try unchecking it!
^ he was flashing a pit file. . It needs to be on.
Damaged nand probably.. go to a service center and explain the kies situation , never ever mention odin.

1. Go to service center.
2. Play as if you were a normal person (we on XDA are special )
3. NEVER MENTION ANYHING ABOUT ROOTING, XDA OR ANDROID DEVELOPING, REMEMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO BE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON.
4. Mention KIES accident if asked what happened.
5. Get free repair and have fun, not your fault anyway
Additional steps for future:
6. Don't buy a Samsung phone again if you ever thing (buy a Sony/Sony Ericsson or Nexus)

Thanks, bennycop. Tried your unbrick, but did not work. Even after installing drivers it did not help. Next step, Samsung service.
And thanks a lot to all that made suggestions, including never buying Samsung phone again. But I did notice that you have an S3!
That would be stupid, if they didn't fix it for free. I see your point. But if they do, why would you never buy a Samsung phone again ? I loved the LG suggestion though. You will certainly .. love.. the ... Experience xD

My other phone is an R800i Xperia Play.
It never had any problems at all at any point. No firmware bugs. No errors. Completely open source (good for devs) Sony Ericsson gives devs support as well (remember when they sent FreeXperiaProject 11 Xperia phones in 2011 for FREE just for them to develop Cyanogenmod)
The only problem EVER on the xPlay is the flex cable, because it is between the sliders if one hits the floor with the phone too violently (literally throws it as hard as possibly) or if you keep sliding it out as hard and quick as you can. If the flex cable disconnects then you would have problem (you would not see screen, touchscreen would not work or it would only work under charger)
And for the play it has such a nice and beautiful community in XDA where everyone literally helps each other and has respect for others and they are just nice.
For example:
Developer Sdojoin made music controls on lock screen for multiple ROMs and which can be easily ported into any other ROM as well. (Vokal 1992 adapted it)
I shared a rom with my custom AC!D Sound MOD v5 for Gingerbread (this was before AC!D Gingerbread official which came 4 months later)
Anyway enough Xperia Banter, we're in Samsung area.
BTW. One developer here that had an Xperia 2011 phone here is themer ThilinaC, I'm sure he still likes it A LOT.

Hi,
I am having some issues with my phone. From one day to another it stopped working, did not turn on, stuck on boot streen.
I searched the net and found that I should reset firmware using Odin.
Installed USB Drivers and now I tried 5 different firmwares, stock and custom, PIT as well. It seems like Odin is having issues writing to the phone.
The operation ends with "odin fail nand write start".
I cannot get anything flashed to the phone via Odin - what can I do?
Is there a way to flash using an micro-SD or another tool I can try?
At the moment I have no MicroSD and no Sim inserted..

Are you using the correct version of ODIN? (3.07) ODIN detects your phone right? If so, and you can't send anything via PC, your phone's usb port is probably dead.
I tried with Odin 3.07 and 3.10. Yes, Odin recognizes the phone and starts but then fails after ~ 5-10 minutes while doing nothing

And your phone is in download mode? Have you put custom recovery on your phone? If so, you would have been able to flash rom.
The phone did not start after shutting it down one day. I had no alternative firmware or anything else installed before.
Wen powering up the boot screen is all I see "Samsung Galaxy S II" It does not do anything else and I have to pull the battery to turn it off.
Reset using pwr.up + home + power does not work, it kept switching back and forth between the android pic and "Samsung Galaxy..."
I can get into Download Mode though, that is what I did before plugging in to PC.
Download Mode shows the following
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
I just want to flash a German stock firmware and for the phone to work, not experiment with different ROMS etc..

What about trying a different stock rom (e.g. different version or from different region since all stock roms are multilingual)? Try downloading a different stock rom and flash it with odin.
I had already tried with another non-stock ROM, it failed at the same point.. But I will try one more
Heimdall can't write to phone either
I get the exact same trouble with the same phone (GT-i9100) since today.
Before that, everything worked fine : I used Cyanogenmod 11 on it. Today suddenly it rebooted and have been stucked on the Galaxy splash screen since then.
The only thing I can do is boot in Download mode.
I tried the exact same steps but with Heimdall 1.4.0 from Ubuntu (removed SIM and SD card, tried 2 differents USB cables, differents USB port of my laptop, tried to install Stock ROM) with no more luck than you.
Any help will be appreciated.
I recommend to start from zero, this way is clean.... with ODIN and to try different roms sotcks.... in the web of sammy... there a lot..... and try with an alone PDA it is sufficient to restore the i9100...
No need sd internal.. and no need sim to test de rom stock.
Advance users.... Tell me if I am wrong....
Leo
We do not have choice anyway (only Download mode is accessible) so we have to start from zero.
BTW, What do you mean by sammy web. Any link ? I tried the original stock rom I got with the phone with no luck.
Anyway it seems that Heimdall is unable to write anything to the phone.

what about getting into the custom recovery? Are you sure you can only get into download mode? Did you use the correct button combination? Since you have cm11, you can flash a different rom via recovery. Remember to factory reset, wipe cache, format system before flashing new rom.

Unfortunately yes I am sure to use correct combination : Volume Up+Home then Power during 3 seconds and still pressing Volume Up+Home does nothing, or to be precise only the Samsung Galaxy Logo nothing more.
Only Volume Down+Home+Power work and get me to Download mode.

With heimdall it seems the software is not able to end session.
For instance here is the output I got when trying to download the current PIT :
Code:
Heimdall v1.4.0
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
Attempt failed. Detaching driver...
Claiming interface again...
Setting up interface...
Initialising protocol...
Protocol initialisation successful.
Beginning session...
Some devices may take up to 2 minutes to respond.
Please be patient!
Session begun.
Downloading device's PIT file...
PIT file download successful.
Ending session...
ERROR: Failed to receive session end confirmation!
Releasing device interface...
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Using verbose mode in Heimdall I get random errors when it tries to end a session (even with simple task as when downloading PIT data), and even sometime when it tries to simply detect the device (same thing under Windows 7 and Mac OS X):
Code:
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: 501862035
How to be sure it is a software problem and not an hard one (around USB module) ?
Is there any update on this issue?
I still cannot use the phone..
Does anyone know someone in east-western Germany (OWL) that is really fit when it comes to flashing Samsung phones??
After having let an official Samsung local repair store tried to factory reset it whitout more success than me, the phone seems to finally have become a real hard brick
Unfortunately I do not have access to JTAG stuff which may be the last hope for this one.
