PhilZ and looping in system updat? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay so i have PhilZ stock kernel and i accidentally pressed "update" in the system update notification.
Now the problem is that it is looping on the stock android updating logo and full blue bar. What is wrong? Can i restore it?
I can get to download mode so i think it can save me, right?

Help me please

No.
WTF are you doing bumping a thread after an hour ? That is absolutely not on. Hopefully people make you wait a couple of days for help after that :-/

Man if you can get in download mode then flash a stock firmware via Odin and you're done.
That's all

[Q] Flashing failed

My luck is very bad. I failed to flash my 9100, and now I can not turn on my phone. No matter I press on which keys, the screen keeps black. And I connect it to my computer bu it can not be detected. I have tried the Counter Reset Patch to go to downloading mode, but failed. So what should I do now? If I sent it back to Samsung Service , how much will they charge me? Or If I can fix it by myself ? Who can help me? Thanks very much..
First, your luck isn't very bad, computers don't have luck, if you've bricked your device it's because you've messed something up not because you're unlucky.
Second, what exactly did you do to flash your phone? You haven't given anywhere near enough information for anyone to help you hence the lack of replies.

As far as I know I am the first. U know under almost all conditions u can fix it by downloading mode , but now I can not enter that mode. So I am unlucky.
1 tip
Try charging the battery using another mobile or external battery charger.Then connect. By my experience usb drivers of android dont easily get damaged or lost until u ruin the rom heart and soul.

What did you actually flash? Firmware, Kernel or are you trying to Root your phone?
If you can go to Download Mode then flash Stock Firmware. To be safe, charge battery to at least 70% before flashing via Odin3 v1.85. Provide more details so it would be easier for others to help....cheers

Did you just flash the "Leaked - 4.0.4 I9100XXLQ5..???
If Yes then the only solution is Samsung Service Centre.

This leaked firmware had cause a lots of Hard Brick to other user not only you.

Bricked after factory reset, I can't even see CWM. Help!

So the thing is I'm using ROOTBOX ICS rom, and because I'm willing to gift my phone to a cousin I did a Factory Reset, then my phone turn off and when it tries to wake up, after Samsung logo, it makes like a blink on the screen... every 3 seconds.
I can't enter CWM Recovery using VolUp+Menu+Power, however I can enter Download Mode using VolDown+Menu+Power.
So guys, give me a solution here please.
Thank you so much.

If you don't want to flash a stock ROM, root, and flash a custom ROM again, you can use one of odin flashable files for custom kernels, not all have one but you can check (Dorimanx for example)

If the usb jig is not working then your only option is jtag or else motherboard replacement. Your best bet is to come clean to Samsung and hope that they give you a replacement

Samsung Galaxy S 3 (S III) not booting after OTA update while rooted

Hello,
Last night I updated my S3 i9300 (International) while it was already rooted on stock.
After the successful update the phone was working fine for a moment, but after a while it rebooted randomly while being idle. now in the morning the phone was working the same for a while, after the occasional reboot, the phone didn't turn on, however it showed the ( Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 ) screen, loaded the logo for a while and then restarted again.
When i open the clockwork recovery, it works fine but reboots after a while.
I had a backup made from the clockwork recovery before the update and is stored on my PC (not phone).
Is there a way to fix my phone? :/
Thanks in advance...
Just try to reflash to stock using Odin.

You have created two threads using a different name. It obvious its you. Your asking for advice but you arnt listening and you are being rude. Liike everyone has said download the xxlh1 stock rom your phone came from sammobile then flash it using odin and that will sort out your problem. Dont worry about csc just get your phone in a working state again.

The flash counter in download mode only counts how many times you flashed with Odin. It doesn't count how many times you flashed a rom in recovery with twrp or cwm.
