Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to read this thread!
So my friend came to me last night explaining that her i9100 failed during a stock firmware upgrade through kies. Her device was completely stock. Powering up the device showed the 'Kies encountered a firmware error, please plug into Kies and select recovery' message or something similar. The device was purchased directly from 3 UK.
So I downloaded firmware package I9100XWLPY for UK H3G from samfirmware.com, which came as a single .tar.md5. Put this into the PDA section of odin, left the tickboxes default (No repartition etc.), put the phone in download mode, waited for drivers to install and hit start. Odin started, flashed the kernel but failed on a *.bin file (I can't remember the exact file). It then showed a NAND write fail.
I repeated the process with different cables & usb ports, always with the same outcome. I also noticed the flash counter was increasing, I thought this shouldn't happen with official firmwares??
Anyway can anyone shed some light on the issue, is it fixable (given I do not want to flash any pit files onto a device that isn't mine) and why was the flash counter going up using official firmware? The device boots (showing the 'firmware encountered an error' message' and I can get into Download Mode but I haven't tried recovery. I can also confirm its a i9100 and not i9100/p/g/whatever.
Edit: To whoever voted this thread 1 star, would you mind explaining why? Have I not included all relevant information and done as much as possible before asking for help? This i9100 forum seems a lot harsher than other ones on xda, with a lot less help....
Seriously guys? Over 75 views but not a single reply? Is there anyone who has experience with Odin that can explain whats happened / what I did wrong / how to rectify?
Hi have you tried an emergency firmware update via kies?
Also can you get into recovery mode and so what errors are you getting from odin?

Hi, thanks for replying.
I don't have Kies installed on my machine, I installed the Samsung USB Drivers as a separate package. I haven't tried recovery mode and can't as the device isn't to hand. I could however get into Download mode and connect to Odin. Odin would fail after flashing the kernel, it gave the error message "Complete(Write) operation failed". I can't remember what file it failed on, but its was a .bin file.
In addition to looking for a solution I'd also like confirmation that the firmware package I9100XWLPY is correct for a UK i9100 on 3UK network, and an explanation as to why flashing this package caused the custom binary counter to go up.
Try this guide.

Try flashing the firmware with the .pit file, may be that would help....

Hello,
I read a lot of threads but nothing worked and now I just want to now if my handy is dead! I hope you can give me some information. Maybe some solutions.
Here is my actual situation:
On day my handy was turned off. I tried to turn it on but it keeps in a bootloop. Only the first GT-!9100 was seen and it restarts.
I took out the battery and started it again. Then it booted until the message "App 1 of 1 will be optimized". I waited a long time (about 2 hours) and nothing happend. I took out the battery and tried to boot again. Same problem like at the beginning - again bootloop.
Then I tried to get in recovery mode. It worked! I wiped the cache and restartet my handy. But again bootloop. Now I couldn't get into recovery mode. The droid was lying with a red triangle and my handy restartet automatically. So I tried the download mode. It worked! I downloaded from sammobile the actual firmware I9100XWLSD_I9100DBTLS7_DBT. I tried to flash it with odin v3 1.85 over the PDA button. I connected the handy with odin it tells me that he found my handy and I started to flash. It stucks at cache.img. I waited over night. Nothing happend. Still stucking on cache.img. I took my battery out an dwhen I put it back an started may handy I get now the yellow triangle "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So tried another one with three parts and PIT. In this time with re-partition in odin. But same procedure. I stucked at cache.img.
I still have the yellow triangle and I only can get into download mode.
Then I heard from soft/hard brick problem. I also tried the solution with only flashing the PIT. But no success
So I tried a custom kernel Clockwork Mode Recovery (GT-I9100_JB_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.2.9.tar) to get in recovery mode back. I tried to flash but it stuicks again at "NAND write". I waited again. Nothing happend. So I restarted my handy with tooking out the battery and putting it back again. But in download mode I see that my handy has a custom binary! So it worked. But I can't get into recovery mode of Clockwork
I also tried CF-Root. Here the same problem!
What's wrong with my handy? Is it broken? I've heard maybe I have to re-partition my hand over adb but I found nothing.
One thing is that for half a year I had a problem with my internal SD. It could not mount. After a update of the firmware (luckiely there was a new one!) over OTA it worked again. Maybe I have really a problem with my internal memory...
I hope I have give you all neede information to analyze my problem and I hope really you can help me. If not then it would be good to know if my handy is dead.
Thanks in advance

do u have your phone in warranty ?
also as u can get into download mode try flashing kernel stock kernel first then the flash the stock rom (3 way package) .. do not use pit
pit shud b the last option
I can image that the following happened to your phone (not sure, only a guess):
- you were on Android 2.3.x or 4.0.x
- there was on OTA update to 4.0.4 which caused the 'updating Apps' message
- for what reason ever it was not able to update all apps successfully
- you went to recovery and *wiped*!
Being on 4.0.4 this bricked your phone due to the emmc brick bug. After that all flashing / booting / etc. will fail ...
If this is the case, there is not much to do. There is a program and a thread to modify the partition table to make it re-useable, but only in special cases.

Hello,
thanks for your answers.
@neerajganga:
No warranty anymore I tried the stock firmware from sammobile (I9100XWLSD_I9100DBTLS7_DBT) in Odin with PDA. But I get stucked on cache.img. Or is there another stock kernel I can use?
@AndDiSa:
I was on the latest stock firmware 4.1.2.
Do you know where I can find this threat to modify the partition table to make it re-useable?

Tee thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823918, but if you were already on 4.1.2, you should be save. Probably it's something different and I was wrong.
@neerajganga:
I used a different PC with a different version of Windows (WIN7 on the 1st PC and WIN XP on the 2nd one). Same problem. Odin keeps stucking on cache.img :'(
I read the thread of the emmc brick bug but my problem is that for solution one I can't flash Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1 because of stucking with odin.
For the 2nd solution I need to get in recovery mode and this is not possible because of the yellow triangle.
@AndDiSa:
The thread says that it is possible to use the scanner manually in adb. Does it mean I can use it without going into recovery mode? If yes, would it be possible to explain to me how I can do it in few steps?
Thanks.

u can still try flashing a kernel
ADB is useable only in recovery mode or on a running system, unfortunately neither of those are working for you currently
Sorry, but currently I don't know what else you could try.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Try to go in recovery mode and format the whole device inside recovery. Try to use odin to flash a recovery if your device doesn't boot in to. If you're successfully then try from there to flash a kernel and a zip from stock rom.

also once u done flashing the pit i mentioned above ... flash a stock kernel first .. then flash the entire rom
@neerajganga:
I used CF-Root and Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1. and Odin stucks. The left upper corner says "Kernel" and the green barrel is full but in the message there is no complete or success info. It just freezes. When I turn my handy on I get the yellow triangle and I can't get into recovery mode. When I'm in the download mode it shows me that I have a custom binary. So I think it worked but no boot or recovery mode possible.
No success with the PIT file. I choosed re-partiton and only your PIT file but Odin stucked.
@gastonw:
I don't know it exactly. First there was the bootloop then it wanted to optimize 1 of 1 app. After wipe cache no recovery mode anymore. That's why I tried the custom roms. I just can give you the information what I see in Odin and on my phone.
How can I know that my USB drivers are not working correct. In Odin I get the yellow ID:COM with my COM port shown. I tried now a different PC and there I just installed the USB drivers. No KIES. And still the same problem with my phone.
Maybe I really have to re-partiton my phone but right now I didn't found something to try it out. Maybe you can give me some information about it.
Thanks.

seems like you are new on xda, so welcome buddy,
download a firmware from sammobile, you have to register yourself, before you can download anything, dont worry, its free. flash this one file via odin3 v3.04, drop the file to PDA, connect your phone with USB and go to download mode, start just everything from begin.
i have tried all the things but i cannot solve the problems
Have you tried flashing a different Kernet?
True, did you try a other kernel ? Dorimanx v8.34, its good, by my side, its perfect, not bugged etc. flash via odin

Do a full wipe. It will get you out of the boot loop (hopefully)
Why does it 'not work'? There's gotta be a reason. Does odin fail when it flashes? If so, click the link in my signature and follow those steps.
And you do have an i9100 right? If you do, flash JB leak using odin. Download it from samfirmware. Its a 3 part firmware, and will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.
i have tried all the things done flashing , stock and custom kernels and also the pit files but the behaviour is still the same ......
There"s no quick fix for this (other than buying a new phone) afraid you're here for the 'long haul'........
Look at @Hopper8 s guide for troubleshooting a failed Odin flash and follow it exactly (all steps) and repeat (all steps) as often as is necessary.........
......Unless you've done irreparable harm by flashing a pit file......

Hi everyone !
If you use OMNIROM on your i9100 and you used to update your phone daily, you might be stuck at samsung boot logo since the February 12th nightly update.
Symptoms are a samsung logo bootloop and impossibility to access the recovery. Good point is that the download mode is functional.
To get back your i9100 to life, without flashing a complete Samsung Stock ROM, a solution is to flash a custom kitkat kernel compatible with Odin.
I converted the Gustavo_s kernel ([KERNEL][09/02]Kernel for CM10.2/CM11/Omni 4.4/Slimkat with stweaks support to a .tar file Odin flashable. I hope Gustavo_s will let me share this, I clearly don't want to assign me the merits of his kernel.
This worked for 2 Galaxy S II using OMNIROM and stucked since the update.
You can find the file down bellow. I hope this can be helpfull for people.
1) download the kk-kernel-09-02-TWRP.tar file
2) open Odin
3) click on PDA and select the kk-kernel-09-02-TWRP.tar file
4) put your i9100 in Download Mode (Vol_down + HOME + POWER when it is shut down)
5) connect your phone, and flash it in Odin
:fingers-crossed:

Could you tell what did you do?
Im having the same problem of you
I changed computer. On my lap top it wasnt functional, but when i get on work, i used my computer there. And donth try only on one usb port, try on every port on your PC.
if you have problems with failed odin flash, you can also try by using Samsung USB driver for mobile phone version 1.5.27.0 : this seems the last driver working for me, newer versions give me problems

Kernel flash should not take more than few minutes... The phone reboots after the flash.
The entire thing should not take more than 5-10 mins.

To power your device all the way off plug it in and hold power until the battery logo comes up.
Then unplug it and hold power, home, and volume down to boot into download mode.
Use odin (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=ewT0JrvKAjyPbAfN2FyCTQ&bvm=bv.91071109,d.eXY) to flash the stock firmware form here:

My player has sometimes had this problem with Odin 3.07. It has always worked fine with Odin 1.85 however. I have attached the Odin zip just extract it and run. If it still doesn't work try installing Samsung Kies (or re-install) to get the USB driver. Should that fail install the samsung mobile USB Driver (also attached).

I'm in a similar situation (bricked after cm12, no recovery, have let the battery die, gathering info on what to do next).
Here's a total guess, maybe the repartitioning for the cm12 is messing up the stock rom (did you have "repartition" checked in odin?) have you tried flashing cm11 or 12 instead of stock?
Also if this doesn't work try flashing with the pit file which can be found lower down on the same post as the stock ROMs.

Hi, each time i flash in odin i check repartition and load the pit file...
how do I flash CM11 or CM12? I can't put it in recovery...
I think we are in the same situation, i was thinking... can't we make a CM11 or CM12 flashable tar file? i don't know if it's possibile, i'm a newbie and know only a little of android and similar OS...
uff, if the galaxy payer could only boot in recovery we could be able to flash one rom to fix it!
sorry for my bad english

I couldn't get mine into recovery either. I couldn't even get proper download mode. But, I used odin3 v1.85 (I also tried kies, and re-installing that may have installed drivers that turned out to be necessary, windows spent a lot of time searching for drivers... I'm a linux guy, I don't really understand how/why windows needs to spend 10 minutes searching for the same drivers again and again - whatever), and tried flashing lots of things, assorted pit files, roms and recoveries...
Eventually I managed to install a stock rom that I got from the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39188127
It installed correctly, but booted into an animation bootloop.
I cannot flash cwm on to it. When I boot into recovery I get the (stock?) android 3e recovery, and a screen full of red telling me that cache does not exist. None of the four options, reboot, install update zip from sd, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, do anything.
Stuck there now.

I'm going to try to flash that, thank you for your respond... Windows can be relly slow in seraching driver, linux is a lot faster XD, yesterday i tried to flash my galaxy player from JODIN3, which is basically ODIN for LInux, the problem is, after it ends, it says SUCCESS!! but the player won't boot... Maybe the battery is dead this happens everytime I flash the pit and stock rom, ODIN says success but then it shuts, giving no life signs
This is a really strange problem even I tryed to flash everything (from kernels, to recovery, to stock roms and the bootloader which posted AdamOutler) we need to ask to an experienced dev what maybe has happend, ecause i relly have no idea

I'll look into JODIN3, messing around with Windows is so painfull. I would skip flashing the pit, just odin the one thing. I've also found that if odin fails flashing something, everything else I try flashing afterwards will fail. The only success I've had has been with disconnecting everything, plugging the device back into the PC, the starting odin new.
I've gotten a working gingerbread ROM, from here:
http://meticulus-development.com/index.php/galaxy-player-5-0-2/galaxy-player-5-0-stock-roms/
(irritating finding the download link among all the malware bull**** and "windows support" popups, it required registering for 4shared, but a throwaway email works)
The recovery is still a native samsung android 3e, and it took me a while to figure out that the "select" key wasn't the power button, but the home softkey... That might have been true of the last one I had flashed, the one that bootlooped, maybe I could have wiped... anyway. I've got a working gingerbread GP5.0 I can give my daughter (if I can avoid the temptation of putting cwm and then cm11 on it).

Actually it didn't work DDD: whatever thank you very much for trying helping me, I think I need to change the entire device XD, but i was thinking... maybe if I install the usa rom on my INTL do you think that it may work, i've read that it works but the home button won't be recognized... dunno
I'm gonna try, as we say in italy, rotto per rotto, I will try and install

Hmmm, I think the US/Intl might not be super important, since all you really want is to get a working recovery on there. I got one of those GB roms on, then was able to flash cwm. I don't think you need to be able to use the rom, but installing it make odin able to flash cwm. Once cwm was on I installed the cm11 xip and all is good.
Good luck with yours.

If the stock recovery is not working try flashing a CWM recovery for the GB ROMS.
For the Intl Player with the hardware button this one should work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565
You need the Odin file to flash then recovery should work.
Do a cache wipe, factory data reset, and wipe the Dalvik cache.
