Make sure you put your phone in download mode, and also Samsung USB Drivers installed on your PC. Try other USB cable if it did'nt work. Redownload the firmware, maybe it is a corrupted file

If you can boot into recovery then format data and cache, that might make the phone bootable again. If that doesn't help then boot into download mode as above and flash the correct stock rom via odin.
If it won't boot into download then you have a hard brick, service centre repair required.

Does anyone know how to run triangle away on SGS 3 without downloading additional data? The point is that I bricked my device, somehow lost IMEI and put phone into factory mode, wifi doesn't work, the same goes for mobile networking. I'd like to give it back to where I bought it from but in Odin mode you can see that the custom binary download is yes (10 counts). In other words I'd appreciate it if you told me what to do to return the device and get it fixed or replaced. Thank you.

sorry mate, I'm desperate. It can't be done without mobile networking or wi-fi because it claims it needs some additional data.

Do not spam the forums, I have deleted your posts. Did it ever cross your mind that the best way to get an answer would be to create your own thread in the Q&A forum and give as much detail in there as you can? If it didn't cross your mind then I would suggest doing it.

[Q] alternate way to reset the custom binary counter (if jig is not an option)

I have a malfunction usb connector so usb data transfer or my jig is not working anymore. The data cable and the jig is tested on another I9100, and they worked well. Surprisely the 3key download mode is working, and firmware flash with odin too.
So I need an alternate way to reset the counter before I send it back to warranty service
Is it stored in the bootloader? Can I reflash it with odin?

there is no known alternative way of resetting the counter, if it was as simple as using odin then we would have never worried about using a jig.
So then what is the best way to make a total brick? (result: no 3key recovery or download mode)
I should mess with the bootloader in odin?

LOL!! This is the reverse "I bricked my phone" thread. It's the first time I've seen someone asking how to brick their phone.
I suggest you look at the above mentioned "Hallppz!! I broked mi fonnee" threads and do exactly what they did to brick their phones. Stuff like flashing SGS firmware on SGS2 can help.

Can help, but will be detectable. just start a flash with odin and unplug halfway through, you'll get a connect to pc screen and wont be able to acces download mode

Thx
I'll try it tomorrow in the evening unless somebody comes up with a better idea.
I'll post here the result
AFAIK, samsung service center won't check for "flashed" phones. When I returned my SGS2(just cf-rooted), they said I should return after 30mins because they'll flash it back to default(They didn't even check, they just said that while I was still filling-up their repair form). But my yellow tint was still there, so I got a new phone. Now no yellow tint visible on the eyes.

[URGENT] Odin Crashed Whilst Flashing.

Hello, I was attempting to flash Clockwork Mod on my G5, whilst doing it Odin crashed and now my phone is messed up.
It will turn on but a PC-Triangle with a ! in the middle-Phone, it will go into Download Mode but Odin doesn't recognise it so i can't re-flash it, any ideas?
Please help, this is urgent.
The phone itself is on stock, it turns on but displays the error i have described above, it will go into download mode but Odin doesn't recognsie it.
Thanks, Curtis.

No need to worry about it.
Uninstall the drivers associated with the phone. Are you using Windows?
For XP: Go to start > Control Panel > System > Click on the Hardware tab and then Device Manager. Find the driver for the phone. I remember it has a yellow icon, and the drivers name is a mix of capital letters
It's probably similar for Windows 7, but i wouldn't know.
Uninstall the driver associated with the phone, then reinstall by plugging your phone into the computer in download mode. It would help to uninstall and reinstall Odin as well, just in case.
If you get Odin to work, just work away like you would.
Thanks for your reply, i have uninstalled the drivers, but when i plugged my phone back in, the drivers are not being installed and i can not find them on the internet. Any ideas?
I know how i messed up, i completely forgot to root my phone before i started to flash, any ideas on how i can just get my phone back to its normal working everyday self?
Will i just need to get the device recognised by Odin then insert the Ops file and the I5500.tar file and flash it back to stock?
edit- managed to get drivers installed, now how do i fix my phone? Just flash the .OPS and the stock I5500.tar file?

I think it'll fail again if your phone isn't rooted. You can't get rid of the Computer-Caution-Phone image without succesfully using Odin.
You could try to flash the .tar and .ops file again. I can't see it working though unfortunately.
Any ideas then? Is there a way to root my phone via Odin or anything?

I've never heard of rooting your phone through the download mode or through Odin.
Maybe there's a file you can put on your phone through Odin which doesn't require root? I'll take a look around for you.
Thank you so much, i appreciate it, I'm 16, can't really live without a phone especially with college parties coming up in the next few days aha, I knew i shouldn't of risked around with flashing again!

Just thinking that Odin is a program which requires root so there won't be any file you can transfer when unrooted. I had a quick glance over at the Odin thread, and the first step is that you have to root your phone.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can think of which might help. Maybe if somebody with a bit more knowledge/expeerience sees this thread, they might help.
Can Odin detect your phone?
Ah man, thanks anyway, yes Odin detects my phone, I'm trying to use SuperOneClick Root on my PC- Do you know any other Root software that works on PC?

I don't know of any others, but Superoneclick works fine for the Galaxy 5. Like I said, I've never heard of using it during download mode so just be careful with that.
If Odin detects your phone, have you tried just closing Odin and plugging out the USB safely?
Can't use Superoneclick as my phone isn't in USB Debugging and i obviously can't change that aha I have just tried that, no luck with the closing Odin and unplugging it, should i try installing CWM again or is that a bad idea?

It's a bad idea because it just won't work. Odin will crash again.
I don't know what to do I'm afraid.
Looks like my phone is shagged due to my own stupidity, I forgot to root it because my phone was previously rooted and it went back for repairs, then I completely forgot i didnt install Root access -.-
Do you think i can recover my phone or is it well and truly gone?
Well it's not like your phone is bricked or anything. It's just broken a connection to Odin and it won't boot until it's completed.
You could always return it for repairs again. Your warranty might be broken though.
If I happen to come across a DIY fix then I'll post it here.
Thanks for your help mate, i've decided to just send my phone back for repairs, buy a new phone (Probably a Blackberry for BBM and stuff with all my mates), and sell my phone once i get it back.I have gave up on Samsung mobiles.
Thank you.
Did you send your phone alredy? Uncompress the firmware.tar file and unselect "one package in Odin" . On the boot in odin select the boot file of the .tar and run odin. Maybe that will help
Sent from my Galaxy5 using XDA App
Dude have u tryd using samsung kies it might detect it n let u do an emergancy firmware recovery or maybe (a verry unlikely maybe but still a maybe) it will detect the problem and provide u a solution hope this helps.

Hi, had the very same issue as you. Odin crashed just few sec after start. What I did ; uninstalled everything (Odin & files comes with it, KIES). Then restart PC, go to Samsung.com and download latest KIES, when downloaded go to Tools and check for updates. Accept/run them, when done restart PC. Now, read the steps bellow, and see the attached picture.
1. Extract Odin v4.28 and Ops File.zip I5500XXXX.rar
2. Open Odin v4.28,
- Select OPS tab: EUROPA_v1.0.ops
- Make sure Auto Reboot & Protect OPS selected in Option tab
- get this I5500XFJPQ from samfirware.com ( for some strange reason only this package worked!), download, and unzipp to folder called GT-I5500. In to this folder place Odin and ops as well.
- Make sure One Package selected in Option tab
3. Turn off phone, remove battery for 5second, put it back
4. Hold "Volume Down, Center button & Power button" in the same time to enter Download Mode (yellow triangle)
5. Connect to PC with USB cable
6. When the data line and the phone connection is successful, com port shows yellow in Odin
7. Press Start on Odin
8. Waitin & Pray!
9. PASS, its done!
*Hard reset after flashing *2767*3855#
*Check ur Phone Info *#*#1234#*#*
Note: my i5500 was rooted, so if was yours then ok. When pressing buttons you must see an yellow triangle! If you don't see it don't try connect. Remove battery for 3-5 minutes and try again...
Thanks for the replies, I've got my 'broken' phone in its box on my wardrobe, Carphone Warehouse have ordered me a brand new G5 to replace mine, I should get that sometime next week, but I'm buying a HTC Wildfire S pretty soon anyway!
Thanks for your help, I'd rather keep my broken phone well, broke aha.
Have you tried flashing twrp recovery then using cf-autoroot?

[Solved]Help Required!! Suspecting Brick :(

Hello,
I am new to the S2 forum. I have purchased the phone on Dec 04. It came with firmware version 4.0.4.
The PDA was I9100XWLPW and CSC was I9100ODDLPC.
After a week, I flashed the leaked JB firmware XXLSJ and used PhilZ cwm6 kernel to obtain root.
I was not having any problems until today.
I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!
Edit: Samsung service has replaced the mother board!!
Doing the pit partition has resulted in my phone getting bricked!!
So people new to the forum, never do it :laugh:
Hi,
You said you couldn't access download mode, but can you access CWM recovery?
If you can then, you should wipe data/factory set, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik-cahe. after that you should re-flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, maybe you should restore your CWM/Nandroid backup of your ROM before you flashed the JB leak XXLSJ, which in this case seems to be Stock ROM. (providing that you have backed it up in the first place)
Greetz and Happy new year

We already have plenty of topics about this why do you feel the need to create another? Your symptoms are no different to others and the answers are no different.
If you cant access download or recovery and cant power on then try a USB jig. If that doesnt work then you will need to take/send it for repair which will either be JTAG or complete mobo replacement.
Just because you create your own topic it doesnt mean answer is going to be any different.

I had the same problem.. I could get into the download mode by:
1. Phone completely OFF state
2. Connect the USB cable to the phone and PC ( The battery charging indication has to come, atleast once )
3. Fire up ODIN
4. Get the phone into download mode ( Vol-down+home+Power ) while the phone is connected
5. The phone is now recognized by ODIN.
I could flash a kernel (tried siyah and Philz) but the phone was not booting.
While trying to flash Stock and XXLSJ, ODIN was getting failed at factoryfs.fs
After a few trys, the phone just went dead!!
Hope you can flash a firmware successfully :good:

You are misinterpreting what you read. What you're referring to is resetting the binary counter, and no it doesn't work on ICS bootloader however it still works for putting device into download mode (unless its bricked).

"Soft-brick" has absolutely no meaning, Your device is either "bricked" or it isnt. Its a made up term by n00bs when they cant get system to boot normally. Your devcie is only bricked when it wont power on or go into useable recovery+download modes. If you can simply use a jig or go directly into flashing a rom then your device is not bricked.
The "bricked" term is used far too loosely nowadays.

I'm using the leak version of Sammobile since 3 weeks... Why do you think the phone make a bad reaction now? why now?
Ok, you try to flash OFW and don't result. and then you flash again the XXLSJ ? and the phone colaspe?
What kind of roms do i flash? OFM or CFW ? ICS or JB ?
Well if a can connect with ODIN of course
A quick question!!
Is it possible that the phone can be revived (put into download mode) using a JIG if it is not starting at all for any key combinations and it is not showing charging animation when plugged into a computer or a power source??

Yes its possible which is the reason we already mentioned to try it
It all depends on the actual base issue though as to whether it will work. Its worth a try either way though, They only cost £1-2 or you can make them yourself if you have the spare parts. (Don't ask how, Use search).
I have tried the JIG, but no luck!!
I have given the phone to Samsung Service.
Hope they fix it!!
Will they use JTAG or it has to be done somewhere else in case Samsung people refuse to do it??
They wouldn't refuse just act dumb tell something like you were updating firmware via kies and all of a sudden power went down and device bribed

[Q] Major issues all programs stopping!!!!

When I turned on my i9300 galaxy III phone last week it prompt me for an upgrade. I installed it and as soon as it booted again, every single app started to issue warnings about stopping. The phone cycles through all of these pop up warnings over and over again and never reaches the home screen.
What I have tried:
Plugged it to PC open Kies - drivers were not installed correctly, Kies didnt connect.
Ran troubleshooting (unplugged phone b4) connected phone again Kies didnt connect.
Restarted the phone in d/l mode --> wipe data/factory reset, this time the drivers were installed correctly but Kies didnt connect again.
Unplugged phone open Odin and it didnt recognize the phone either.
Tried 2 different cables switched USB ports and nothing!!
PC recognizes the phone but it wont let me see content in windows explorer.
Please help me, thanx in advance. :crying:

For ODIN to recognize the device you must first go into Download Mode and you need to shutdown the device first then do this hold home+vol down+then power button)
You don't need root to use ODIN though. If you want to revert to stock see the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610 it's pretty straightforward anyway so i guess you won't do something unnecessary.
As you were upgrading legitimately, take it back to vendor or Samsung and get them to sort it

Ok...first i need to know certain things...
1. Does you device boot into download mode??....if it does then it is not brick its only soft brick and can be revived....:fingers-crossed:
A device that is truly Bricked will not even turn on....it will simply not show anything on the screen...no matter what !!
So if your device boots into download mode then don't worry and don't lose hope...:good:
2. Tell me if it boots into recovery....??
if not ... then try to flash a recovery using odin....
if it does ... then first of all Wipe Data/Cache and Dalvik Cache
copy a rom on your sd card and flash it through the recovery... and then Wipe Data/Cache and Dalvik Cache again...
Let me know if anything helped ... and let me know other updates.... Hope things work for you...
Thanks

i am sorry to say but there is a members who can able to fix these problems have a proof take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914359&page=10
the member name darkspr1te is able to fix my problem and the member E.V.A Too.
1) I call bull**** on that (for the SGS2 at least).
2) If those people are fixing it for you, why are you posting in this thread ?
Bottom line is, if the phone won't boot, you ain't fixing it.
The end.

i already said in my post if the people's who dont know about my problem should not reply in my thread,
Unfortunately you don't get that option on XDA, you put a thread up, anyone can reply (unless it's a development thread, which this isn't).
My earlier diagnoses of motherboard replacement or JTAG stand.
