Firmware flash with odin don't work. Need help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this is what happend. I tried to flash the latest official firmware from sammy, whent in to download mode on the phone, selected the right PDA. But then I got this message:
Added!!
Odin v.3 engine (ID:8)..
File analysis..
SetupConnection..
Initialzation..
Get PIT for mapping..
Firmware update start..
cache.rfs
Complete(Write) operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Then I tried ALL the USB ports and after a while I got this message instead:
Can't open the serial(COM) port.
And upon that, now the pc does not recognize my s2 when I plug it in. Ps I still have the phone up and running in download mode just in case it would f*** up my if I shut it down!
Please help me with this mess! :crying:

Ok, so trying all the usb ports is one thing to do.... There's plenty of other things you need to try. If you can still get in download mode don't stress, 99% of people get out of the situation you're in.

it is not hard brick...btw now when you connect you phone did odin detect ur phone on this screen??? if yes flash a stock firmware..if not remove battery and pres power+volume down+home then insert battery n check whether your phone goes to download mode or not... if goes download mode flash a stock fimrware.. if not and Odin doesnt detect ur phone then you can go to force download mode by using a USB jig...

It's already in download mode; the phone--warning triangle--pc is forced download mode.

[Q] Phone won't turn on after repartitioning

Using Odin, I accidentally repartitioned my phone and didn't flash anything else besides the PIT file. What do I do? My phone doesn't turn on when plugged into the computer or the wall outlet. Is there anything I can do?
My phone is pretty much done, isn't it?
What the hell.... Anyways.... Pit always repartitions your phone. Did you flash anything after that? Details are lacking.
You can't get back into download mode to reflash?

No, because I wasn't able to use the phone at all after. The phone is dead. It won't do anything. There is no sign of life. I repartitioned it with a pit file and hit start. After that, the phone wouldn't work at all.
Because.... you need to follow steps and read.
You need to start over.... Odin the pit... then follow the steps and odin the rom you want to flash. Your phone isn't gone... yet.

But will this work even though Odin can't see my phone, since my phone acts as if there's no battery? It doesn't function at all. So when I plug it in, nothing happens and Odin never sees my phone.
Actually, my phone is responding all of a sudden, so now I'm flashing my phone with Odin.
Why is Odin stuck at this part of the flash?

You have to redo it... Sometimes it doesn't completely flash the first time.

What did you do? I have the same problem. It didnt response at all.
you could also try something totally different and try heimdall with a different usb port, if that doesn't work then I'm definitely not sure what else you could try.
did you leave your battery in when you went into download mode to flash the stock rom? if you did, take the battery out, hook up the cable to a usb port hold down the - volume button along with the power button and it should boot into download mode

You're in download mode because the flash got screwed up. Go back to the kernel thread and download the ODIN tar file. Flash it with ODIN (PDA slot, the program should detect it in download mode) and it should boot with no problem.
If you still have issues after flashing the kernel correctly, you may have to flash another ROM too.

I cant get in download mode ,i tryed 1000 times with this power + volume keys like in that thread but it always back to mobile and computer icon with "!" ,i trued to flash it like that with odin
and it says

<ID:0/008> zImage
And it stays there forewer
Did you try powering down the player, turning it back on and reconnecting it to ODIN?
Sometimes it'll get stuck there for me too, if it's already screwed up there's no more harm done unplugging it and starting over. Don't worry about getting into download mode either, it should flash just fine from the screen you're getting. Done it plenty of times myself with success.
Also just to be sure, you do have a 5.0 international, correct? Hardware home button?

OK i suscess to flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445840 for USA version but no buttons work now but much better then dead phone , i downoaded TAR file ,maybe i dont know whow to create TAR file from ZIP ,i i use 7ZIP and create TAR file with only zImage file with out commpresion but no luck ,always stack in a loop.
Delete the file for the correct kernel you were trying to flash before and try downloading another copy. Sometimes they get corrupted while downloading and getting a fresh copy to flash will help.
Also holding the power button for 10 seconds will turn off the device.
Thanks ,my samsung is live and runing again ,i succes to install r13 version ,i tryed r14 many times and downloaded many times but failed always but i am happy it's working again, i root it in 10 seconds and it did not want with stock kernel.

[Q] t959v flashed Wrong PIT

hey
i just wanted to ask if anybody has a work around on my little issue
it started when i flashed the wrong pit in ODIN it hung up on the partion part (hints the wrong PIT file)
so i unplugged the device after the first five min of it hanging up and i did a battery pull now every time i touch a button on the phone it gives me the PHONE../!\..COMPUTER and i cant get it in download mode nor fastboot or just any boot for that matter ik it could be worse (BLACK SCREEN OF DOOM) but i cant use ODIN or even the KIES to flash the appropriate PIT or reset the device so if anybody's gotta walk around solution please help... any help would be exelent at this point
Try Heimdall one-click, search the thread. You should be good, don't worry.
Your phone is T959v? Be careful to flash the right files, whatever phone you are on.
That's the soft brick screen just plug into Odin and flag the right file
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
You should be able to get into download mode, although it can be a bit tricky when your soft bricked.
A Jig will do the trick though (Home made or tailor made) if your looking for an easy way to get into DL Mode that is
Cheers,
Chris
Odin will see the phone at that screen no need to worry about download mode

If you are getting a "Phone.. ! ..Computer" image (seen above) when booting phone, yes, you are bricked but it is reversible! Just follow these steps...
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

[Q] Help with bricked i9300

I was recently changing custom roms on my i9300 and think i formatted the wrong option. Now when I turn on my phone it gets as far as the start up screen, then goes off and just continues to repeat. I have trawled the web and tried a couple PIT and PDA's but no joy as of yet. I can boot it into download mode. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Ahh of course haha. Well the PIT has passed but when i put the PDA on, depending on if i do straight after i have run the PIT, which it stays on "Setup connection..." or if I run the PDA on its own i get "NAND write start!"

Hey untick repartition then flash
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Did it help when flashed without re-partition checked?
Why do you need a PIT file? Where did you get it?
Repartitioning could be extremely dangerous.
try odin version 3.04 without the PIT file, if you get NAND write start just wait about 5-6 mins, if it stays where it is come here again.
IF you can, try rooting it with CF AUto root then flash a recovery. THen put a ROM on your external SD card and flash it via recovery and see if it boots.
Very sorry for the delay in reply. Its been bloody hectic!
I tried both of those suggestions Mr Mirage.
The first one i got the NAND write start, and the same on the second. It also got stuck on NAND write start
if you flashed a pit file, send it to service to replace the motherboard
