Spent a frustrating day trying to sort this so I'm posting here as a last resort as I'm at the end of my tether!!
So. Was browsing the marketplace(new style) and my phone crashed and then would not reboot. It would only go as far as the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. so I took out the battery and half an hour later returned to see if all was well when I reinserted the battery. It wasn't. I should point out at this point that I was happily using the latest MIUI and appart from the occasional reboot all was well. When reinserting the battery did not work I tried to reboot into CWM but found that I could not. I can however reboot into download mode so have been trying to reflash my phone using that. However I can't get past factoryfs.img! It just stops there every time! Tried :
Usb Jig
Different USB ports
Restart computer
Reinstalling Kies drivers
A different version of ODIN
Many different ROM files (including Litening 1.5 which I know works from a previous flash)
Re downloading various ROMs in case the download was dodgy
Please, please help. I just don't know what to do now
Im thinking its very possible that something in your phone fried and the only option you have is service.. From the way you describe things as not advancing past factory fs.
You make no mention of flashing a stock rom via Odin .That is the normal method of recovery.

Strange if true - I've never overclocked or anything!! Is there nothing else I can try?

Thanks for the tip but I'm still having no joy at all. Downloaded a stock ROM but still get stuck at cache.img. Going to have a full night at it again tonight then it's going to have to go back
Any help with this evenings endeavours would be gladly received!

Thru odin you must use 4 files first you have to use pit- ext4 , then- pda , then- phone , and finaly csc.
You got all files here and do please read.
These are stock roms.

Unistalled Kies
Installed a newer Kies
Tried Odin 1.83 instead of 1.85
Since reinstalling Kies and reinstalling the drivers, my computer won't recognise the phone at all even in download mode. Might have to admit defeat soon
Flash this recovery package, which is XXKI3, 2.3.5, Open Europe http://hotfile.com/dl/130600047/b70801e/I9100XXKI3.rar.html
Tick the 3 top boxes (Re Partition, auto reboot and F.Reset time)
PIT -> PIT
CODE -> PDA
MODEM -> PHONE
CSC -> CSC
If that doesn't work or fails, flash this, which is a XXKI3 Kernel : http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6. After that, re-flash the recovery package (with PIT and repartitiong, but be careful )
Report back if it doesn't work, and good luck!
If that doesn't work, flash the old bootloader : http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD in either the PDA or Bootloader section in ODIN. If that is successful, flash the Kernel again, and then the XXKI3 recovery package I gave you.
I was trying to update my phone from gingerbread 2.3.3 to ice cream sandwich. but for some reason it did not go well, so i am all stuck. I tried so many things people suggested in here. Last thing i tried is to flash it with gingerbread firmware as explained in adroiddevicesdotcom. sorry its not letting me paste the full link of any third party website.
now i can see startup screen where it reaches up to big "S" sign with samsung galaxy 2 written at the bottom but its just looping at same screen.
Could anybody please suggest me what else i can try to install its original OS again.
Thanks,
If you need any other info please let me know
Use odin

Hi guys, i got a little issue with my galaxy i9300 international version, let me tell you what I did and the results to that.
1. Flashed with Cyanomogen 10.1. Working fine.
2. Then, afer a few days, flashed with Paranoid.
3. Phone starts to freeze, so as I didn't know was going on, and tried to flash with another ROM.
4. Flashed several times with ODIN and tried to stabilize it with stock room XELLA.
5. Flashed with Ultima ROM, still freeze sometimes.
6. Phone stops boots, if I turn on normally, shows a screen like an old tv, white with stripes.... also shows it when I plug it to charge it.
7. Only enters to download mode.
8. Tried to flash it, however says partition failed, there is no pit partition.
9. Tried with every single PIT partition mx that i found, and nothing, every time it says, Re-Partition failed.
10. Tried with a different computer, USB cable, everything... and nothing!..
11. Also tried with the rescue korean rom, and nothing.
12. Also tried with the single file from samfirmeware and the pit file, and nothing!
Any thoughts??? I'm desperate!

Well I flashed the pit files when the phone was already bricked, not before. I try to do this as a possible resolution to my problem.

And the roms I flashed, in this order: 1. CyanogenMod 10.1, Paranoid, CyanogenMod again, and Ultima ROM.
After the installation of Paranoid, the device started to freeze, over and over again, and continue to do it over the other ROMs.
Also, I went to a so called "technician", and the guy says the mainboard must be replace, because i damage the bootloader.

Download a 3 file firmware from sammobile and also download mx.pit file.
Open odin.
Select pit and locate the mx.pit you have downloaded. Select repartion check box and flash it.
Then reset odin.
Click on pda and select the code file of your 3 file firmware.
Select modem and click on modem part of the 3 file firmware.
And then click on csc and select the csc file.
Make sure re partition is not selected and that the pit box is blank.
Then hit start and how it works.

Here's the link to a 3-file firmware:
https://hotfile.com/dl/156320160/eb4a939/I9300XXALE8_I9300OJVALE7_OJV.zip.html
Here's the one from SamMobile for the pit-files:
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddfpfkk2pb8326k
Zimbardo.ea originally posted this info on another thread. So credits to him/her for the links.
Use only the mx.pit in the pit rar.
If you manage to flash the pit but the 3 file firmware doesn't work, download speedmod kernel and flag the kernel only. Then go to cwm and then mounts and storage. Format system, data and cache. Then go back to download mode after a battery pull. And then flash the 3 file firmware again. Do not select a pit file and make sure re partition is unchecked.
This should work.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the help man, however when I try to flash the pit file, I got this:
"Re-Partition operation failed."
So, as you can see I'm off on step 1.
Also on download mode shows:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom.
So, no product name as you can see. And old TV set screen when I try to normally power on, or conecting the charger, or trying to go to recovery.
Got another trick under the sleeve? I would appreciate it... Thanks! :good:

It didn't do anything, Odin didn't have the time to flash the pit file, and it was already broken long before I try to re-partition the pit file through Odin.
So, no, that's not the problem.

HELP, i've downloaded countless versions of the Stock recovery MD5 file and none are working to unbrick my Verizon galaxy S4 Firmware ver:*VRUAME7 (came stock with this firmware when purchased) and nothing is working. I was trying to install the recovery files from "sxtpdevelopers"
After successfully rooting using the microSD card method, I stupidly installed GooIM and then tried to install twrp.. I forgot that this version of firmware didn't have the bootloader unlocked yet and when the I booted into recovery it took me straight to " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." *I already tried KIES recovery but it asks for serial number. THERE NO DAMN serial numbers anywhere on the phone, battery, or box that work. (including IMEI)
I then figured DOWNLOAD MODE worked so let me flash the stock odin file but I keep getting a FAIL installation every time.
FYI; I'm using parallels for mac and windows 8 to run odin. all the com ports are ok and I know there isn't a connection problem.
Any help would be appreciated. THANKS.*

THANK YOU SO MUCH!.. The funny thing is I had downloaded "SCH-I545_VZW_1_20130613171315_24s13crny1_fac.zip" already in my trials and tribulations. Probably the one I downloaded was corrupt because this one installed with a breeze. The one located on that site worked instantly. Now if we can just get that bootloader unlocked. I wish was a programming genius sometimes, I would unlock it; then take that ransom and donate it. Thanks again
Just wanted to say thanks. I was able to use that link + Odin3 to get my friend's Verizon Galaxy S4 back to normal. Best Buy and a Samsung rep at the store were unable to handle this lol

***Problem Solved***
Hi experts,
My Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 is bricked with this error:
image 1 (attached)
It doesn't go to recovery mode anymore now!!!
First I tried to install custom Rom to root it with Odin, it did seem fine with "green pass" but didn't actually install any recovery mode (there wasn't any install option in recovery mode, there were only update options), nothing happened to phone at all and it worked normal.
Second i wiped the phone and cache and I download the firmware from Samsung website.
and after try to install, it failed in Odin:
Images 2 & 3 (attached)
I'm not sure but I think it was a wrong firmware, because I bought my phone online (kogan.com i think it is in Hongkong) and I downloaded the Australia Vodafone firmware (as I'm using Vodafone sim card).
anyone can help me?!
I should mention that phone doesn't go to recovery mode, failed in Odin, Kies can not fix it! the drivers all are up to date and no Antivirus runs in my PC.
Please someone help me.
Thanks & regards

Open Kies and go to the Tools menu and click on Firmware initialization, enter your model name and serial number(under the battery). It will get you back to stock firmware

Make sure your firmware downloaded right, because it is saying it is corrupt. (redownload and rerun Odin).

Tks - I have tried many ROMs from different counties (other ROM or even Kernel, etc...) and upload does not seem to work in ODIN. When you find the right country ROM, did it suddenly work in ODIN?

yes, there are different operator in one country, first u have to find out in which operator of which country your phone is supported, then download the ROM from sammobile, make sure of using last version of Odin, and maybe it takes longer than u expects, for me last about 9min to get the Pass sign...
i had the same problem..so try downloading GT-I9506_501_Stock-Recovery_XXUDOF2 that file from internet and extract..and then flash it using odin..it worked for my s4 gti 9506...
