[Q] clicked re-partition. what to do? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy I'm new on this device and I know you will blame me that I didn't searched for my problem first, but I found different things that I don't really understand.
I've found an update package for odin which had a PIT file so I thought that I have to click re partition, but godamn I shouldn't :|; I can enter in dowload mode and recovery mode, so I think it's not hardbricked isnt't it? What shall I do?
Thanks in advice and sorry again.

[Q] Galaxy Ace GT-5830i stuck in recovery mode

Hello all,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830i that is stuck in Android system recovery (3e) mode, and it seems there is no way to get it out of there.
- upon selecting wipe data/factory reset the device is stuck with one message "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." and "Formatting /data..." bellow
- upon selecting apply zip from the SD card the installation always fails with various error messages (I tried to install cyanogen mod rom in an attempt to recover, but failed as well)
- upon selecting reboot now the whole screen disappears with only the "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." message at the bottom of the screen and I need to remove the battery.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone on this forum could help with the issue, as I have search for possible solutions without any luck so far, and my phone appears to be bricked.
Thank you,
John
My guess is u still on stock recovery. Flashing cm rom or any other custom rom needs clockworkmod recovery, moroever theres no cm rom for s5830i yet.
For now u could try to reflash stock rom with odin. Theres a thread somewhere guiding howto do so for s5830i. Also do note that anything for original s5830 wont work on your s5830i.
Last but not least, do read more and understand what you're trying to do before u really hardbricked the poor thing.
Thanks for the pointers, I really appreciate it and everything works fine now.
It was actually my nephew's phone, so I have no idea how he managed to brick it like that.

I have the exact same problem. Except I can't even enter into download mode. Phone boots into recovery mode regardless of what buttons I press, get stuck at "formatting /data", and I can't flash anything. All the buttons seem to function as intended in the recovery menu, so it's not a hardware failure. Any ideas?

Oh right, sorry. Forgot about the download mode combination. Why they found it necessary to change it for this one model, I'll never understand. Flashed it back to life, thanks

Flash stock rom thru odin then from recovery mod Clear data and cache then reboot. [emoji4]
I know this is kind of old but I have same problem, i got this phone from cousin and it wasnt booting , it was going straight into recovery, since my mother has same phone and i used odin before to save her, i am familiar with odin so, I tried new firmware flash with odin , it passed on odin but again doesn't want to finish install on the phone, it says
installing update...
--appling muti-csc --
Fromatting /cache...
-- Appling Muti-CSC __
and it wont go anywhere from there , and if I reboot it goes back in recovery again and it wont format data again, formatting cache works. I also tried to flash cm7, rooted it, installed cwm but when i do reboot it is not in cwm but in regular recovery, so after that I installed cwm again and without reboot installed cm7 kernel wich succeded , after that installing the cm7 itself stuck on "installing update" , could this be hardware issue, it always seem to be stuck when its doing something with "data". I tried couple odin flashes multi package and single package, i was carefull to chose correct firmware, only thing i could make mistake is maybe with pit and re-partition. Anyone help i would appriciate it much since i have no other phone than this.

[Q] GT-i9100 (SGS2) Stuck at reboot after formating

What the title said:
My SGS2 stucks at the reboot logo, SGS2 GT-i9100 >> Logo >> repeating.
I wanted to format my phone cause it was almost full, so i format it, but it doesnt work and i got the same space free.
So i tried to do it manually in Recovery Mode, i formated some stuff, but i formated something like: Format Pre-Load (or something like this) and some more stuff, if im right that was only data/cache etc, and system to.
But now my phone wont reboot....
Help!!!
Phone connects to Odin only, i tried to flash the file i use to rooted my phone again, but i get: FAILED.
Srry for bad English....
Hey guys,
I have a similar problem after attempting a root on my Galasxy i9001T.
I used Odin following the instructions on this thread,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414, I've gotten as far as using Odin 1.83, using the GT-I9100T_DUKF2_original.tar as my insure kernel. Odin gave me the green light "OK" and I waited for my phone to boot upt.
My phone gets far as the initial "Samsung SII GT-I9100T" and stays there, there was no yellow triangle, which expected from the instructions. The phone recharges and is able to go into recovery mode, but is Odin is having trouble communicating to the phone via USB, it won't establish a connection, so I have a strange feeling that I've bricked my phone and need help to fix the problem if possible.
My phone model and kernel are below, any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

You should not have formatted preload. Why didn't you just format the internal sd card?? Anyway now you will have to flash official firmware with odin. you can find so many guides on how to do that
...and to format your system wasn't the best idea also

Indeed.
/System partition is where the rom is stored.
So, what i need to do, flash a official rom with odin?
Tar file?
Can someone just send me the link of the thread that can help me?
I dont want to fail again And i want to fix my phone ASAP.
Already thx

Watch the third post. There's your answer.
Sent from the Matrix
You cleaned everything boy even the Android OS
You just formated your whole phone you deleted your android os. you have to use ODIN to flash rom download some official firmware of some custom rom or if you have cwm download the rom transfer the zip to sd card or internal on your phone and flash it from cwm. And remember if you want to clean up your phone completly Just use factory reset in setting and if you want to delete all files in your internal sd check delete all files. Never format SYSTEM and PRELOAD
Now he's got a clean device alright.
I can just put a custom rom on it?
Using Siyah kernel, Philz, CWM or another? Does this matter?
Otherwise is put a rom on my sdcard and i put my sd in my phone and i flash it.
I putted a rom on my sd, installed it in Recovery Mode and its working again, thx for the support.

[Q] Boot problem

Hello, first of all I would like to say that this is my first thread as I just made the account and also that English is not my native language so please overlook any mistakes I make . Now I am writing this thread because I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy SII. +-3 days ago I tried to root it, used Odin, also tried flashrootkit or whats its name, but Im not sure if my phone got rooted.. In Odin it said PASS and I also managed to install SuperSu and CWM but when I tried to run some apps it said something about the device not being rooted.. However, thats not my problem, the problem is that today I tried to factory reset my phone in spite of having full memory of apps and just wanted to start with clear memory ( I backed up my music and pictures to my PC). But after doing factory reset, the phone started and I was going through the whole process of selecting language and wifi spots and so on.. but then suddenly my phone turned off and when it again "started" it got stuck on the SAMSUNG logo, not the one with the yellow triangle but the glowing text "SAMSUNG".. Now I tried everything I could (I suppose, not sure as Im new to all of this) but to no avail.. The problem is, most of the troubleshooting articles suggest to reinstall/reflash or do whatever with Odin, but I cant use Odin because I cant access download mode because I have CMW and it automatically opens recovery mode.. I tried using like almost every option in the recovery mode, but nothing helped.. Also, my phone gets "detected" by PC after a while of having that glowing SAMSUNG text.. And I just dont know what to do now, its really frustrating that I cant access download mode because of that CWM recovery mode, is there any way to access it ? Or what am I supposed to do?
Please and thanks for your help .
Actually I just realized that going into download mode requires different command than going into recovery T.T I tried reflashing 2 roms but got stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S-II with yellow triangle now.. I think I formated /system and/or /boot folder thru CWM so.. Then I tried installing stock firmware but Odin said it FAILED right as it was doing Completed(write) command.. I just dont know what to do anymore, I am trying to download Kies now and going to try to recover firmware with it.. Isnt there just anyway to completely reset it to normal kernel/rom everything? I guess I fk*d up too much up until now so it might be too late :/

Seems like you're boot looping. To completely reset your phone, you must download a pit file for the s2 and select the partition file using odin. Tick repartition phone and start. Make sure that you also install the stock rom at the same time for safety purposes. Have a look at the xda forum, there is a thread where you can download the pit files.you should then do a factory reset and wipe the cache then if everything's working, then all good.
If you can't be bothered going through all these steps and don't mind using a modified stock rom (e.g neatrom), then you should try flashing that in cwm. And if this doesn't work, follow the first option.

[Q] Is this what's known as "bricked"?

A while ago my phone started to restart itself for no good reason. Then it got worse and it starts randomly resetting itself (factory reset). To solve this issue I tried to do a manual factory reset myself, and the problem persisted.
I can deal with these random restarts, but then one day as it restarts it got stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen. I tried to do another factory reset in CWM and clear the cache, but it says "E:\cache\...." isn't mounted. As I investigate further it seems the reason that it can't boot might be because the memory is not mounted I guess?
I can boot into Download mode and CWM perfectly fine, so I decided to try to flash the Stock Recovery and Stock ROM through Odin. Connection between Odin and the phone was set up fine, but then it stopped at this error message "Complete(Write) operation failed." Flashing either stock rom and recovery yields the same error . It simply can't write to the memory it seems.
Now I'm stuck at this start screen. I've heard flashing a PIT file might be able to fix it, but I have no idea what that is.
Is the phone bricked? How do I fix this? Should I use the Rescue Firmware in this post? It would be great if anyone can help me since I have been asking for help on other forums but got absolutely no response...
GT-i9300
If you can boot to download mode you can try to use the rescue firmware. No, it isn't bricked because it still works
Thanks for the response! I'm going to try the rescue firmware, but I see that it says "KOR" on the file name. Is that referring to "Korea"? My phone isn't bought in Korea does that matter? Also what's the CSC thing it's talking about?
Your description matches emmc corruption/failure, so it is a software brick.
Follow the guide for the rescue firmware it doesn't matter about the country or CSC, but make sure you include the pit file.
If that fails to flash then it's time for a new phone.

I just downloaded the zip file, but it seems like it doesn't have a pit file inside. So where can I get that file? Thanks again.

There are two versions in the rescue firmware page 4.1.2 and 4.3 the pit file is in the 4.1.2 version and can be used on both.
Now I tried to flash them with Odin 3.07, it doesn't fail nor success. Instead it got stuck at "Get PIT for mapping.." I read that this might be a driver problem, but I've reinstalled my drivers, and I even tried all the usb ports on my computer. I've terminated Kies' process, but it's still not working!
What should I do to get Odin to write onto the device???

It won't write for a reason, the emmc chip is damaged.
