unknown softbrick problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, my phone is in a bootloop at the samsung start screen, the problem didn't started because of an un proper flash of a rom, I just found my phone in kernel panic mode, tried to enter recovery to do a full wipe, nothing, recovery was unavailable, I had cm 10.1 and dorimax kernel, after that I found a thread that explained what to do in case of soft/hard brick, I did all the steeps, (I can only enter download mode), I have flashed the ics, gb roms in odin with success, no nand rw problem, my phone is still in a boot loop, this happened two weeks ago, today I tried booting the phone, a wierd instaler started (something about cryptic, can't remember exactly) but the instalation stopped it restarted, and the samsung boot loop started, dose any one have any ideeas what else can I try? thx
can any one tell me if the stock roms I'm flashing trough odin do a full wipe? thx

Always do a full wipe, no matter what you do.
Flash a more newer stock firmware, aka a jelly bean firmware..

Have you encrypted your phone before you swap Roms? and not decrypt it before flash?

I have flashed XWLSW trough odin, but still nothing, I didn't encrypt my phone, and I can't do a full wipe, or at least I don't know how to do it trough odin (I can only enter download mode). Thx for the answers, any other suggestions?

I have same problem and i don't know what to do. Someone tell mse about a pit parched because is a memory problem, so, i'm looking for this pit, but, i can't found this pit.
Someone help us, please. Thank you.

Can you not enter recovery? Even after flash and stuck in boot loop? Flash stock and try to get into recovery when this boot loop happends. And yes when you flash through odin the phone is wiped:thumbup:

I solved a similar problem by:
flashing a custom recovery through odin
booting into recovery mode
doing a "wipe data/factory reset"
doing a "wipe cache"
doing a "format /system"
doing a "format /preload"
flashing a current custom ROM

I thought that odin install gives you a fresh start. What do you mean by single md5? Thanks for the info.

The one that you flash in pda.
It's called a non wipe flash, similar to an OTA update.

[Q] Custom rom Not getting Falshed

I am XXKI8, and I tried to flash some of the custom roms my phone is getting stuck on Boot logo. And when I go in recovery it says E:\ cant mount system/cache and some other things.
I cant restore backup too...I have to odin it back. this happened with Batista, Touch X power and on Wanamlite.
But when I flashed rarity it worked fine. any Idea why this error is coming up.

Try to do a factory reset before flashing a Custom ROM.
And maybe you need to do a hard reset (*2767*3855#) after flashing?!
As this will wipe your internal SD card, be sure to backup everything you need before.
Good luck !
I am always doing Factory reset, Wipe Partition and after flash Wipe dalvik. But this is happening. Also, if my fon is not booting up so how I can Hard reset with those code after flashing.
I was on vibrant and I am very much familiar with this flashing things. Just its not happening this time.
This problem is not going away. Today I tried to flash Villain rom. But still I cant boot back. I noticed when flashing, my progress bar runs for 1/4th and after that it says installation complete. and when I reboot it cant boot beyond boot logo. And when I go back in recovery it says cant mount E:\system\cache and etc.
Please help. I have odin back to stock and re-rooted so many times that my custom binary count is 9.
I never faced this problem with VIBRANT.

I had similar issue with as you, i'll post my fix ( or atleast how i think i fixed it) ====>
Phew! NOW I HAVE CM7 RUNNING ON MY PHONE!!
I'm gonna try to explain how i fixed my issue, as clear and explanatory as i can..
lucky i didn't brick my phone during all this, because I tried so many things and none worked.I unsuccessfully tried downgrading to XWkI4, ZCKI4, and alot others via Odin... after flashing all i get is tons of error messages(on 3e recorvery) E: can't open/cache or E:failed blah bla bla to load /efs... i thought OMG! my phone is bricked! then i recalled reading somewhere that flashing the 3 tar (PDA,MODEM,CSC) files usually should work(maybe better than flashing a 1 tar file), so i found a 3 files xxKI3 rom, flashed it and BAM! it booted up this time without any error. so now i went ahead and rooted it since the tar files came unrooted, then went into CWM to flash cm7 ROM, flashed it twice and ofc i got stuck on boot logo.....i didn't panic much, i pulled out the battery, and restarted to CWM where i cleared cache/ dalvik/ and did wipe/factory reset, then i reflashed CM7 again (twice) and it worked!!!! YES, CM7 is fiannly working on my SG2!

When I tried to do the same I cant do it as it says E: cant mount Cache/System etc..
Than I had to go back to Stock. Flashing stock via odin is not problem at all. Even XXKI8 non wipe version also am able to flash & boot up without any issue. Only am not able to flash custom rom through CWM. I think its not getting flashed properly.

Yes. I said before also, odined back to stock is no problem at all. I flashed KI3 (which has all three files) + KI8 which is a single file, with no issue.
Whenever I am trying to flash a custom rom I am getting stucked on boot screen. Than I have to ODIN back to STOCK.
Hope this clears your doubts.
Just to make sure. What recovery version do you have? CWM from e.g CF-Root. Or Clockwork mod from Rom Manager.
Be aware of the difference.

hmm.... Try downgrading to XWKI4,root again and flash a custom kernel like ninpho or speedmod, this would most likely solve it..

Sir I tried your method too. But whenever I am flashing a custom kernel via odin my fon is getting stuck on boot screen with yellow triangle.
So after increasing my binary count to 17 now, I am back on Stock XXKI8 with CFroot.

thats wierd...i wonder what you're doing wrong.. type "*#1234#" and write the versions of what you have.
PDA: I9100XWKI8
Phone: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100OXXKI2
Build Info: Wed Sep 28 20:51:36 KST 2011
Also, I noticed when I boot into CWM Recovery and go to Wipe Dalvik Cache I get a mesage E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext] (this is before performing actual wipe) but when I wipe dalvik catch it says Dalvik Catch wiped.
One more thing I like to share - first I flashed STOCK KI3 then I noticed it says cant find E:/System/(some folder for CSC which I dont remember exactly) and it says could not install the CSC. Than I upgraded to KI8 same error for CSC came.
now again I tried to flash siyah kernel 2.0 through CWM, still same problem I am stuck on boot logo.
When I go back to recovery it takes a lot more time than usual and following errors I get
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log
E: cant open /cache/recovery/log
E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: cant open/cache/recovery/last_log
and when I tried to wipe data/factory reset it says
E: cant mount /sdcard/
Even I tried mounting SD card in recovery but its says error mounting sd card.
Please please help.....I never faced this problem with my VIBRANT.
try xxki3 again, but this time make sure you use a 3 tar method i.e PDA, MODEM, CSC... dont use a 1 tar pacjage or you will get stuck at boot agian.
Well of course you never had the problem with your vibrant, you weren't flashing the same packages.
Try flashing Litening or some other complete firmware that has an Odin flashable package, then use that as a base.
Hopefully you haven't selected the "repartition" option in Odin at any stage and mucked up the tables.

boot to recovery,wipe cache and factory reset.
EDIT:Hold "home+volume up+power" all at the same time until recovery menu appears.
reflash with odin some stock firmware if you don't want to wipe, if there is no problem with wiping, just go to recovery and do a factory reset...this has a strong chance of success.

Is it flash it by using odin?
apsolutley with odin, since I suppose that you don't have cwm packed rom on SD card, because in that case does not matter if you have cwm recovery or not..., dont know if you have done it before...bat after beginners fear, it is actually peace of cake...dont be afraid, just follow instructions to the letter...

After I flashed it, it turns to the CWM screen and install the Multi-csc..something like that..and it reboot..after it reboot..its still turns to CWM and install the multi-csc.
So what should I do now?
you have done something wrong, or taken wrong rom image, since after flashing with ODIN stock rom you WILL ENDUP with stock recovery! Dont know what you flashed, but it was not stock rom.
What rom you took exactly??
"GT-I9100_SIN_I9100DXKI2_I9100OLCKH1_I9100DXKI1"
I flash this..is this a boot loop or other problem?
Hey dude, thanks for helping me so much..
My phone is working now..but I have to download my things again..=(
Alright. Thanks!
no problem, been in that situation. check some custom roms when u have time....you'll be amazed what this device can do.
and in clockwork recovery you have backup and restore, setup phone just how you like it, make a CWM backup and you are always sure that rescue is there....don't need odin or PC for that.
Flash Supercore with odin as PDA or some other kernel that has CWM recovery
The problem occured again just now, its after i dpwnlpad some apps from market..and its still not completely remove the hanging problem..And my laptop died. LOL.
Anyone here?
May i sugest u reflash stock rom and return it to the store.
If u have random reboot after flashing stock rom there is obviouse something wrong with your device.

[q] help - touch screen doesn't work!

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 I9300.
I tried to flash a stock rom a couple of days ago and something went wrong.
Now my touch screen doesn't respond, it's the weirdest thing, I guess I flashed a corrupted file with Odin.
Anyway, I couldn't enter recovery mode (the phone kept roobting when I tried), I managed to flash the CWM recovery and now I can enter recovery mode.
I could flash a rom via external SD card, but still no luck, now I have paranoid, but still the only buttons that work are the home and shutdown (physical buttons) the touch screen just doesn't respond...
What can I do ???

which stock rom did you flash a couple of days ago?
If you can get back to recovery now then try download mode too and reflash your countrys/carriers original firmware to what it was before.Then re-root and flash philz recovery and then a custom ROM from the internalSD.

Before flashing a new ROM boot to recovery and manually wipe cache partition and dalvik and format data/system/cache from mounts and storage.After that the phone wont reboot so pull the battery and put it back in and boot to download mode then flash via Odin.Also try Odin v1.85 too.Ive used both v1.85 and v3.07 and sometimes had issues with the newer one.
try this with a different firmware than the first one you used.

And now, the left bottom 'menu' button work!
it's not a physical button, and It didn't work before.
I know it sound crazy, but this is the situation.
I've tried doing it a few times more, and nada, still the same..
I've tried more roms, but nothing seems to help...
Any ideas anyone ?
Sounds like damage to the hardware from flashing a rom not for this phone .
Good point from JJEgan mate.What was the ROM you flashed to your phone and is your phone an i9300 or i9305?.Maybe another varient..?.Makes a big difference.

I have the international I9300.
All the stock rom's that I tried contained '9300' in their name...
the custom roms that I tried were Paranoid and Cyanogenmod.. I was pretty careful regarding the exact model type.
I think maybe at one time I accidentally plugged out the phone while odin was in the reset stage and didn't get to PASS yet.
Can this explain the symptoms ?
If indeed there is a hardware problem, is it fixable or should I begin grieving ?
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Post at what point it fails .
If you unplug your phone in Odin mode you could kill it.Atleast it was at the end.You said you have formatted and reflashed again and I guess that about all you can do but do it a couple more times with your countrys firmware just to make sure.Keep an eye on the flash bar on Odin an watch to see if anything doesnt flash or skips.
I hope you didn't flash a note 2 rom (i and some other users flashed the kernel of note2 and the digitizer was dead), you can read in one of my posts and I'm sure there are other users. Not so many but still.

Dm verity verification failed is problem with Imei.
Have you tried to flash the firmware that I posted?
1st - go into download mode on device. Hold home power and up.
Plug device in to odin.. on odin it should have blue box saying COM:1 or something like that.
Extract the firmware and put the .tar file in AP.
Make sure auto reboot and re partition are UNCHECKED.
Then start.
Try this and post a screenshot on here of odin one it's finished.
I had exactly the same issue and flashing this firmware fixed it.

Boot into recovery, wipe cache partition and factory data reset. This should fix it.
If it sticks on android is starting just wait. It can take a while.

Try to flash a different stock firmware.
First though... in odin flash twrp recovery.
Boot into recovery and wipe cache partition and wipe data. Then restart phone. This should work. If not try the first step (flash a different stock)

Maybe you can try flashing this 2016-07-22-6.0.1-BTU-G925FXXS4DPG2-1teilig.zip in odin ?
Can you give the screenshot or log from Odin ?
Good luck

soft brick OR hard brick OR BOTH, !!!!?

i already did a search in google and XDA but nothing worked ! please read carefully
my G925I just restarted and never be able to boot again, so i enter to stock recovery and wiped cache data BUT no luck, and flashed a stock firmware and still the same, it's boot to stuck recovery and show installing updates BUT at 30% its stop and saying "erasing" then its reboot and stay in bootloop,
i managed to get into download mode and flashed TWRP recovery, when ever i try to flash a rom the phone restart again and enter bootloop and it's never shutdown!!
tried :
1- wipe everything
2- flash more than one stock firmware
3- flash recovery and succeeded BUT it's keep restarting !
4- flash custom ROM BUT no luck, keep restart at installing !
5- flashed custom kernel and it WORKED :good:
for now i can only boot into download mode without restart
have a solution ? :crying:

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.
