Hi, All
As my phone is rooted and cannot auto upgrade, I flashed it back to stock rom 4.0.4 with ODIN. And it was able to auto upgrade. It auto upgraded to 4.1.1 and worked good. After it downloaded another upgrade package about 8M and began the upgrade process, the gs3 halt during the process after phone rebooting.
After power it on again, the phone stop on logo screen and the display messed up after 1~2 seconds and automatic powered off. When vol-up + power + home was pressed, it was unable to enter the recovery mode. But if I press vol-down + power + home was pressed, it was able to enter the download mode and was able to be detected by ODIN.
I tried to flash it back to stock rom again with ODIN but failed. The stock rom was in four parts with pit, bootloader, pda, phone and CSC.
ODIN showed the following:
<ID:0/014> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/014> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/014> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/014> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/014> sboot.bin
<ID:0/014> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/014> FAIL!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
So I powered the phone off and on again, it was the same. I tried to flash CWM recovery and the ODIN could finish the steps before reboot, but after reboot, the phone stop and ODIN cannot finish the flash process. And I cannot enter recovery with vol-up + power + home. I also tried to flash stock rom in one tar.md5 file, all the same.
I tried to flash the booloader only, and ODIN showed that
<ID:0/014> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/014> sboot.bin
<ID:0/014> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/014> FAIL!
while I can flash pit, pda, phone and CSC.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
The version of ODIN is 3.07.
In last post, I said the display is messed up, it really looked like old TV with figures and strips rolling. And after 1~2 seconds, all display disappears and it seemed the phone auto powered off.

As the title says, today I tried updating my phone to the latest firmware. Samsumg Kies downloaded the new firmware, and the update was going. After it "finished", it said:
"SGH-T959 could not be upgraded
1. Detach and reattach the mobile phone's battery.
2. Reboot the mobile phone, and then try the upgrade again."
So I did all it asked, to go into Emergency Recovery, and my phone does not go into the mode. It's stuck on this black screen with an image like this (Phone .. ! .. PC).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Some other info: I've never done any fancy work on this phone, such as rooting, etc. The only time I touched its firmware was using the Samsumg Kies before to upgrade to 2.1 or 2.2, whatever is the latest one right now.
UPDATE!:
So after trying many times with Odin, and doing the download mode thing, I decided to run Samsung Kies again. In the Emergency Recovery it told me to press the UP and DOWN volume button, but never really explained how. It didnt specify that it was trying to put me into download mode.
So, I went into Samsung Kies, did the STEP by STEP of going into Download mode of this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737. The Emergency Recovery mode started working into Kies. I now have my phone back up and running.
NOTE: My screen setup was changed. I had only 3 tabs and now its back to 7, and the apps arent in place (BUT THEY ARE ALL HERE!).
Thank you laylovj for your time and all the help!
SOunds like a softbrick. You better hope that you have backups of everything cause you might have to ODIN back to stock firmware.
I don't mind losing everything, as long as I get it working. Mind pointing me out to a good guide?
Thank you.
Use the ODIN 1.7 from

I was about to post about that when you edited it. It does not go into download mode. I will try as soon as the JFD download is done. Thanks so far!
So I downloaded Odin and all the other files. Did the whole thing of going into download mode, even though it didnt change the screen, in Odin, it seemed to recognize my phone as a yellow box showed with 0:[COM4]. The only files that were able to be chosen were PIT and PHONE. When I clicked PDA, no file appeared, and neither did CSC and ETC. So I clicked START, and its now stuck on SetupConnection. It's been there for about 5 minutes now, is this normal?
Also, before upgrading to Froyo, try out some custom roms if you're feeling brave.
And if this ever happens again, pull out battery first, then remove the USB to avoid it again.
Can I fix it first then do a ROM after? I did want to do it before, because my phone was freezing at random times doing basic stuff, but I was afraid it would brick my phone. But right now it can't get any worse lol
I just want it to work, if it works, i'll try a different ROM.
Update: I did the Odin again, and now I got "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0).
Wont go any further then that.
Wait so you didn't choose a PDA? Did you extract the JFD zip file? You weren't supposed to.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere I needed to extract, but guess I was wrong. So this time I re did everything, and was able to select the PDA file. I clicked start, and this is what I got:
<ID:0/003> Added!!

I am now trying with another version of Odin3 (v1.00 now), and so far I got this:

care to screen shot your Odin setup?
Odin 1. tends to get stuck there....battery pull and try again.
Here it is:

Like I said, try a battery pull and do it again and I do recommend 1.7..much safer. Try it again with 1.7.
Tried once again with v1.00 and it kept getting stuck at cache.rfs.
So I tried twice with v1.7 and I keep getting this:

EDIT: Could I try another PDA and PIT file? How does another ROM would work? Is it just other files in the place of these PDA and PIT files?
Try redownloading the files...I really don't know what else to say.
-DO you get a different [COM#] if you try to go to download mode than if you hold the power button? (should come up as warning still)

Have you put a pit file in odin, then you have to check repartition box. If not then do never check repartition box. All 3 parts firmware normally have a pit file.

Remove battery and put it back in, put phone into download mode and flash firmware with Odin.
Odin stops after "NAND Write Start!!". 1 hour later, it still shows "NAND Write Start!!". In download and "Screen of dead" mode are these errors.
But i have actually a bigger problem.
The phone doesn't start.
Power key -> screen is black.
Download mode -> screen is black.
Recovery mode -> screen is black.
Battery change does not help.
Battery is fully charged.

Did you use .pit file?
No, for my device I have only 1 file (PDA).
But, I can't start it. Is there a "master reset" or something else?
Hi Everyone,

Now I can't go into download mode but I can see a weird sign: phone-pc sync logo.
Odin is recognizing my phone and I tried to flash again but same thing happened.
Please help what should I do now, it's urgent guys please help me out.

Download mode or recovory works ?. Then flash a stock ics Rom and try again.
Hope it works..

Unplug your phone from usb.
Close odin and open it again.
just hold down power button while press volume down and home button. it will reboot into download mode
plug in
set pda and etc accordingly. flash.
Whenever you fail, you must close odin and unplug to try again to be sure.
Also try changing usb port if one side fails. Make sure your pc recognize and install driver before you plug in

Have you tried a usb jig to get you into download mode? If you don't have one look at the thread about jig's on your area.

Indeed you can't access download mode now. But JIG will solve your problems. I had this problem myself 1 year ago and made a JIG.When you connect it, the phone will enter in Download mode. Search here for a tutorial on home-made jig, it takes you less than 10 minutes to make.
Good luck!

So you cannot get into download mode ?
A JIG puts the phone into factory mode which is the same as odin and download mode.
I was forced to make a JIG several months ago.
Good luck.

no don't do this. You will **** up the phone. If you put the pit, put the firmware also.
HI
I got here a bricked i9300.
It freezes on Samsung logo.
I cant open recovery, but it does enter download mode.
First thing I tried was flashing stock firmware via Odin: I got "There is no PIT partition"
So I closed Odin and reopened it and tried flashing the PIT file.
It froze on SetupConnection.
I shut off the phone and entered download mode again and tried to flash the PIT.
Now it froze on Get PIT for mapping..
I closed Odin and reopened it... Froze on SetupConection.
Shut of the phone... Download mode... Odin...
I set the PIT and marked Nand Erase All
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Erase...
<ID:0/007>
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Every time I try to do something via Odin the phone seems to freeze and wont pass trough SetupConnection anymore.
If I restart it to download mode, it will try to do something but I get those errors.
If I shut it down and put it to charge, it will take longer than usual to show the static battery icon (the one with a circle), and wont pass trough it. It will freeze there.
I also tried the Kies tool where you put Model and S/N, it finds the phone, I accept the terms and then get a message that "this version cannot be updated".
WHat the hell can I do? Is this motherboard gone for good?
Very much the same here! I hope there is a solution for this problame
Did you try ticking repartition in Odin and flash firmware with pit. Hope that'll do.

Try using Samsung Kies 3. Go to Tools, then Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation.
This happened to me and I was able to unbrick my phone.

So my phone was working fine last night before I went to bed, woke up this morning and it was blank. I assumed it was a dead battery so I chucked it on the charger and when I came back to it 30 mins later it still only had the empty battery icon with the wait indicator (But the wait indicator isn't moving at all) and nothing else. When I turn it on it gets to the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" screen and remains there. I can't get into recovery mode at all (it just brings up the same frozen SGS II label screen). I can however get into ODIN mode but can't flash anything.
Before it died I was running a rooted stock ICS firmware. I tried removing the SD & SIM just in case it was one of those causing the issue but no additional luck.
I have been very slack and haven't taken a backup of the phone in quite a while and recovery of the files on there is my main objective. If I can't use the phone again I don't care, so long as I can get the files back.
In ODIN mode I tried flashing Siyah and CWM but it fails:

Phone shows no change at all when the file is being loaded to it, no progress bar etc.
Really hoping someone can help me so I can at least get my files from the device. Is there any way I can remove the internal "SD" card or access it directly from a PC?
Anyone??? I really need to get some files from it.
I do believe that ICS had a hard brick issue... Why were you even using ICS when there's official jelly bean ?!

Code:
*** Trouble Shoot for all Odin Packages... Read below... ***
If your phone is not being recognized by Odin, try the following.
- Use a different USB computer port
- Use a different USB cable
If for some reason Odin does ever give you a FAIL or the process hangs up for more than 5 minutes in one spot then do the following.
- Pull your battery out of your device and leave it out.
- Plug in your device via USB cable and connect it to your computer.
- Then boot into Download Mode (hold 1 on physical keyboard and press power).
- Run the Odin package.
- When completed and you get the Green PASS, you can pop your battery back in and then reboot the phone and you should be good to go.
Note: Some devices have given some trouble and you have to attempt this twice to get it to work. Also make sure all anti virus software is off/disabled. One last option is remove your sdcard if everything else fails.
