Today Evening i went out with my friends, and we took few photos on my mobile.. After that my friend gave my mobile by stating it got stucked. I looked into it, yes it got stucked.. Then i forced it to restart.. it could not start, stucked on bootscreen. so i simply removed the battery and put the mobile into my pocket. once after i reached my home, i started the mobile.. again it got stucked in bootscreen. Then i gone into recovery mode and flashed the same rom (neatrom v4.7) on it from my sd card. Then it got booted, after sometime again it restarted automatcally and stucked on bootscreen. This time i could not even get into recovery mode.. so i downloaded the official stock firmware to install via download mode. Then i tried to flash through odin. it did not got flashed or anything happened for nearly half an hour. so i removed the usb cable from the laptop, immediately phone screen got off.. when i tried to switch on or get into download mode.. my phone does not responds, it is dead. i tried many ways like removing battery and inserting charger while pressing on power button then inserting the battery at the same time. what did i wrong? help me plzzz friends.. what should i do now to get back my mobile?
You plugged out your phone from PC while downloading from Odin?!?!?You completely bricked your device now.Maybe it couldn't flash the kernel or the firmware...Now phone is of course dead.You need to buy a new motherboard.BTW,what firmware did you flash?Do you have I9100 or other variant?
When you flashed a stock ROM, did you flash a pit file as well?
If no, get a jig so you can get to Download mode.

Your initial problem of bootloop could have been easily solved, I don't know what the other people do but when I gave my custom rom installed phone to my brother for a couple of days his friends played with it walla.. Bootloop.. Fix as usual was easy, a cache and dalvik wipe fixed it otherwise a nuke script and a flash would have worked.
But pulling the cable out before flashing is completed or unless terminated by the app itself is a bad thing to do, really bad...

Service centre. You're paying.
I took my mobile to samsung service center, they checked and told that i need to change the motherboard.. which costs Rs.8500..

Maybe you can buy another on eBay,then you'll just give it to them to replace.Or change it yourself.Both ways you'll save money
Just get a jig and try.

hello experts
i had followed steps to root my galaxy s2 using odin flashing and it was success, and unlocked.
The phone started well with a yellow Exclamation.
and the phone was unlocked.
after a few minutes the phone was very slow and got stuck. i restarted it.
again stuck, restarted but it dint start again. i thought battry was low and put to charge.
but it dint charge as well.
So i showed the phone to a repairing center and they said its dead.
Any help that i can start my phone again ??
Thanks in advance guys :'(
Try reverting back to the stock unrooted rom.
Go to Sam firmware.com and download the stock from ..flash it via Odin.. search ..google is ur friend..Don't ask the repairing shop again for advice (phone is dead...duh)

Can you get to download or recovery mode is the first question .

If you cannot get to download mode a USB recovery jig may help .

If you have an official stock ROM with official firmware on it, the repair centre should change your mainboard and basically making your phone brand new.

which version were you on? Are you sure the rooting went okay?
The USB-Jig must work. especially on GB. it even works fot me on ICS.
When you can not get into download-mode (odin mode) ór recovery you can't flash anything..
Hope for you that your battery is broke. or maybe one of the processors... Still got warrenty?

Hi you cant do anything unless you have download mode on you device,
if you have JTAG box you can repair your device using this.
Its normal device getting heat near charging/USB component. This is not HW problem.

He already said it won't boot normally, to recovery, or to download mode. JTag or warranty are his only options.
[A] Galaxy s2 bricked
You have to know smthng:
- It is always possible to get to download mode, if not through the button combo (home+power+Volume_DOWN), then through the USB Jig
- If your phone is bricked, the download mode might not announce itself through the android robot: the exclamation mark will persist in some cases. One indication is that ODIN will be recognizing your phone on the COM port (USB that is).
Notify me if you needed further assistance
Which instructions did you follow?
If those are wrong hopefully somebody else will see this and avoid those instructions.
What a start to the day....
Sg2 would not turn on. Tried loads and then left it. Suddenly a few mins later
it came on but was hung on the boot screen. Now its turning on but just hangs
a frozen boot screen.
So thought I would use ODIN to wipe it and start a fresh. Odin also just hangs
at the start at NAND WRITE START cache.img and goes no futher ever.
I tried to do a restore in CWM but again hung and eventually failed with cant find file error messages.
Seems like internal memory is screwed or something any ideas?
Can you get into download mode (power/home/volume down) ?

Have you tried booting into download mode (as stated above), or using a jig? They cost a few dollars from Ebay, but they're a life saver in these such situations.
Have you tried to flash a different ROM? Maybe the cache.img is a dud or possibly corrupted?
can get into download mode but because a flash failed CWM is gone and just get "firmware update encountered an error".....just tried a different firmware download in odin..again hangs on NAND WRITE START....
read other threads with same error , not looking good
I think a JTAG repair will probably be cheaper for you than paying Samsung to fix it. Do a search on here/Google to find a JTAG repairer close to you. If you can't find one near you, there's at least one that I know of you can post your phone to, have them repair it & they'll post it back.

Since the phone already is in "has to be sent in anyways" state, I think this quallifies for the "last resort", only do this as last step before packing it in for sending to service.
Try an Odin flash with a .PIT file and "[X] Repartition" checked.
But be very carefull with that, double check and tripplecheck everything is perfectly set up (correct stock ROM for your model, USB connection could sustain an earthquake, PC will not crash or loose power.... all that stuff) because this could totally kill it when something goes wrong.
Well, once the preflight is done, hit the mighty "Start" button and start to pray.
Well tried ext option and hangs on setting partition. I'm worried the phone is actually proper broken since its not flashing or rom issues that was the original problem. Just went off, wouldnt turn on, left it a while...suddenly on but hanging on boot everytime..then the flashing attempts to realise more broken than ever! Will service fix that?, im with vodafone UK and they will be arsy if they find custom rom flashes etc? Can I send direct to samsung...? thanks for ur help peeps!

Are you using a single file when your trying to flash? I had an issue where it was stuck on the nand part, then I flashed using three files, PDA, Modem, Csc, and it was successful.
But seeing that you've tried repartition and that didn't work, you may be screwed.
Well, if it's that broken that nothing boots, nothing shows, nothing even flashes, I doubt they can see you got a custom ROM on it (Samsung could, but would very likely not bother checking).
So just tell them it failed during updating with KIES.
Since KIES is "teh craps" and everybody know that, they will likely go "oh yah, another one"
Are you using the original Samsung data/USB cable when you are trying to flash with Odin ? If not, do it.

Yeah, I tried to use a data cable that came with an HTC once. For some odd reason, it didn't work.
I've had Odin flashes go.wrong before and almost always fixed it by rebooting or restarting Odin. Maybe even try on a different PC. For me a 3 part file with pit + repartition has always done the trick.
However it does seem like your problem may be hardware related.

This is a very good tip, thanks lol, popping into a store at diner time.......
##update## actually download mode loads with custom rom count (24) oops and very new firmware so dont think can get round that?
If they check that you might be in a bit of trouble warranty-wise. Or you might be lucky. If you can wait a few days or however long it takes to get a jig, might be worth getting one.

Regardless, please try the original cable, you have nothing to lose.
For the first few months, I was flashing ROM's fine with an el cheapo usb cable from ebay then suddenly, Odin would always hang. Reverted to original cable and everything has been fine ever since. I have also noticed that the file transfers and Kies Backups are noticeably quicker on the original cable.
Given you can access download mode, I'm crossing my fingers for you that its only a soft brick. Also, try plugging in the usb cable to a port directly on the motherboard (ie not one of those front panel extensions), also try different computers.
I thought jigs didnt work after a certain firmware or are they're new jigs available?
thanks
Depends on what version firmware you have on your phone/what you tried to flash. Do you remember either/both of those ?

They don't work the new bootloader, but if you got your ROMs from Intratech's thread, most of them have the bootloaders replaced with the old one.
You could also try to flash the old-bootloader-only .tar that is also in Intratech's thread if the jig doesn't work, maybe it at least manages to flash that one so you can reset the counter.
well it's officially knackered
tried original samsung cable - same problem
different computer - pit and 3 files plus single files , same problem
cant even flash any old bootloaders to reset the jig!
so gutted it ran my life for me schedules, to do, all sorts, oh well
goosed - thanks anyway
My phone hanged in the morning. I removed the battery and then tried to restart it. The phone stuck in boot screen. It was not going ahead. I was able to go to download mode but not i recovery mode. So i tried flashing it with official rom via odin. It was successful but on reboot it was still stuck on boot loop. Then i re-partitioned it. For re-partitioning i by mistakenly used the pit file for i9100g. Now my phone is not even booting.
Plz help wat can be done.

If you used a .pit for the i9100G on your i9100, then I think you'll either need to JTag it (cheaper) or send it to Samsung to fix (MIGHT be covered by warranty, but doubtful... and if not, more expensive than JTag).

JTag is not something you can do yourself unless you buy expensive equipment. (Riff box)
You'll need to google a mobile phone repair shop near you that has the necessary equipment.

Did you try using a USB jig to reboot into download mode? I doubt that will work, but if you have easy access to it, its worth a try. For future, never ever play with .pit files and never repartition unless you're a dev and know what you're doing. Hope you revive your device soon

I have flashed my SGS2 GT-I9100 about a 100 times now and know all work arounds a problem. TOday I was fixing a friend's phone. In odin it got stuck on "set partition" and this happens sometimes so I disconnected. Now it doesn't turn ON, no charging, ,even on access to download mode. I tried everything BUT it turns out that I ACCIDENTALLY flashed a I9000 firmware with an I9000 PIT file (didn't checked bootloader) ...It is a GB firmware. I don't have my JIG atm as I am abroad. Please guys any help ? anything I can do now?
I dont think there is anything you can do because you have already flashed another phone's pit file. I think you have to get it back to Samsung. Unless a Jig works.

It was stuck on set partition, the bar didn't even move. I disconnected the cable to run the flash again, but then I rebooted the phone, that was the last time I saw it alive. I will be morning in like 3 hours, do u recommend changing his phone with mine for the time being?

Well, you can try these steps though,
Changing usb cable, removing battery or try to kill any kies activity. If your friend doesnt mind a fried phone, you can choose whether to let him have yours first.

My GT-I9300 international galaxy S3 decided yesterday to brick itself, all of a sudden its stuck at the boot screen (white samsung ... text).
Tried to reboot into recovery but no go, when i hold the buttons it just continues to reboot and reboot, only showing the white text.
Tried to reboot into download and that worked, i though fhew, i got a berak and not all is lost.
In download mode it says current binary Samsung official even though i rooted and changed rom...
Product name is blank, Custom bin download is no, status is custom.
Tried to recover with kies but it complains that it cannot install new firmware (after it downloads the firmware, extracts, and all instruction followed).
Tried with odin (several original roms with my region and the one from kies) but with no luck, odin complains "There is no PIT partition.".
Tried to repartition with GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but then it does SET pit and hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
Is there any chance to save my phone ? I'm getting really desperate here.
Product name blank = sds. Only samsung service Centre can repair

Hm, it worked for me once , try connecting it to odin in downlode mode and try installing cmd form there, it should work and help you get your phone back. Since original rom is not working. If that wont work then i am not sure. i need to get a better understand of what you did to it,for the phone to go into brick mode.
