I'm in the exact same situation as you! I created a thead aswell. This problem struck me today aswell, just out of the blue..

Recovery mode and download mode are two totally different things when you said you "got in" do you mean you "got in" to recovery or download mode? More details are you on stock custom rom etc
(1) Recovery mode hold volume up home and power
(2) Download mode hold volume down home and power
Try recovery mode step (1) Then factory reset if that does not work try step (2) and flash back to stock with odin.

If you want help, please use proper words with proper spelling. This is forum etiquette. It is an English language forum and as such, you are expected to use English.
Particularly when "words" like "dat" actually mean something else. It's your job to be precise in your descriptions and giving us wrong information or using words that do not exist can lead to us giving you incorrect information that can cause you to fully brick your phone.

If it reboots even in download mode, its not looking good. Does it stay in download mode for long before it reboots?
How long in recovery?

Yep, this was my next suggestion. You can get them for 1 or 2 $ or £ on ebay etc. The idea is they force download mode. I have no idea if this wills top it rebooting out of Download mode, but its worth a try.

Ok..will try..will post back the updates.

Exact same situation! Bought a jig and it goes into download mode but it keeps restarting to download mode with the jig in. If i take it out when it's in download mode, then it just reboots.. Any ideas?

no luck..the phone keeps restarting even with the usb jig connected.

It sounds like it is screwed. If you have no warranty, You'll be paying a lot of money to possibly replace the motherboard.

[Q] Cannot enter recovery on sgs2!

While flashing Odin stuck at zImage... I disconnected the phone from PC. Now i cant enter neither the DL mode, nor recovery... Important thing that the PC still see the phone when connected (Odin too (yellow indicates)). i9100g. Can someone help?
If the flash stalled is it possible you were flashing an incompatible firmware for your phone? I9100G has different firmware yo the I9100/T.
Anyway, my suggestion is if uoi definitely can't get into download mode then maybe try using a jig to force it. But I suspect that may also not work.
You say the PC picks up the phone when you connect it. Does that mean it boots up?

No, the phone doesnt boot. Maybe i used bad cable for flash process... because i used different kind of usb-cable (not samsung). Is there any solution without jig?

Cable shouldn't be a problem. I've used many different ones without problem. Were you flashing the correct file for your model?
Edit: just checked the link and it is for i9100G.

Were you using the tar version? If so where did you put it in Odin and did you tick anything else (eg bootloader)?

Yeah should have been fine then. Can't see why download mode won't work because you haven't touched the bootloader. Maybe try removing then re-inserting the battery, then use the 3 buttons for download mode.

already tried... no effect. while flashing Odin stucked at zImage. after 30 min waiting i switched off the cable. Odin showed red message (fail)
Well if all else fails, next step may be a jig. It can be a pain if you don't have one but check in the general section. There is a thread about users (including myself) who are willing to help people who urgently need to use a jig. There are heaps of countries listed so if your lucky you may find someone close by who will help.
EDIT: here is the link to the thread. Check the first post for locations.

thx, i ll wait 4 some time. mb somebody showes another way to solve this sh*t)
OP, are you plugged directly into a USB port on the PC? Not through a keyboard pass-through, or a USB hub, or something similar? I've heard of stalled flashes because the person was not plugged directly into the PC.
The other thing, is to try a different USB cable. Faulty cables can also cause stalled flashes.

**** man! Something is not right. Flashing a kernel in download mode as pda shouldn't fully brick your phone. I've had plenty of bad flashes before but download mode always works. Other than retrying for download mode or jig, I'm out of ideas.

WHAT DOES RECOVERY HAVE TO DO WITH FLASHING???
You have other posts in this thread that imply you were able to try flashing again. If that's not the case, than I misinterpreted, and sorry I tried to troubleshoot your problem and suggest a course of action.
I'm sure you're frustrated, but that is no reason to snap at people trying to help you.

Put your phone into download mode by holding the volume down button and the power button.
Open the one-click and plug your phone in.
Start the one-click.
Leave your phone stock until you can read up on how to fix things before nuking your phone again
You do have the i777, and not the skyrocket, correct? (had to ask)

Funny, the "yield sign" is the international symbol for "read the directions."
Red, does he get penalized for double posting? Identical threads in general and Q&A, and they're both still open. And do I get in trouble for double posting the same question in both threads?

software update fail

i brick 2 samsung s2 i9100 now help
i have jig but i can't go in downloading mode help
If it was a normal software update with a firmware that was not rooted and you still have warranty left, you should bring the phone to the shop where you bought it. They will fix it.

Did you try a battery pull then turn on your phone and immediately hold the 3 (button combo vol up + home + power)? Also what caused this problem?

Are you sure you have I9100 phones, and not I9100G phones?
Check the label under your batteries.
I9100 firmwares and kernels do not work on I9100G, and vice versa.

Get into download mode and flash a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com. Make sure you have the i9100 and not I9100G model.
And make sure you know what you're doing before you do anything. It seems like you don't have a clue if you are missing up two phones.

Make sure you put your phone in download mode, and also Samsung USB Drivers installed on your PC. Try other USB cable if it did'nt work. Redownload the firmware, maybe it is a corrupted file
If you can boot into recovery then format data and cache, that might make the phone bootable again. If that doesn't help then boot into download mode as above and flash the correct stock rom via odin.
If it won't boot into download then you have a hard brick, service centre repair required.

Does anyone know how to run triangle away on SGS 3 without downloading additional data? The point is that I bricked my device, somehow lost IMEI and put phone into factory mode, wifi doesn't work, the same goes for mobile networking. I'd like to give it back to where I bought it from but in Odin mode you can see that the custom binary download is yes (10 counts). In other words I'd appreciate it if you told me what to do to return the device and get it fixed or replaced. Thank you.

sorry mate, I'm desperate. It can't be done without mobile networking or wi-fi because it claims it needs some additional data.

Do not spam the forums, I have deleted your posts. Did it ever cross your mind that the best way to get an answer would be to create your own thread in the Q&A forum and give as much detail in there as you can? If it didn't cross your mind then I would suggest doing it.

We have no clue. You did not include type of phone, what you were attempting to flash, what flash tool, or any pertinent details. Regardless, Chef Central is not the place for these types of queries and I will report the thread and request that a moderator move it to the correct spot.
