Hello to all the devs in the forum and thanks in advance for the help that you will give me. Please bear with me, trust me I have made sure that seeking for help was my last resort seeing as I don't want to be just another guy with a bricked phone problem. Fortunately the forum has been quite educational and I have all you guys to thank you for that.
Now then, last night I decided to root my phone because it was running a bit slow and decided it was time to do it.
Everything went fine, I managed to root it successfully, installed Clockwork Recovery and all that, although when it said that backing up the image I think was an error, I sort of just disregarded it. I booted up my phone and everything is fine, I installed Titanium Backup Pro and deleted some of the bloatware that was in my phone.
Now this probably where my phone got on its way to being bricked.
Along with the bloatware that was deemed safe on the website, I also mindlessly uninstalled the Samsung Home and probably the stock keyboard app.
I deemed them unnecessary because I was running Go Launcher EX app as my launcher and Swiftkey as my keyboard app.
What I didn't know is that all the custom roms are probably going to be using those stock apps as base. Did I assume this correctly?
So then I tried to flash the custom rom that I found appealing, followed the steps in the guide that accompanied it, and when rebooted it, it was stuck in the Samsung logo screen.
Fortunately I planned ahead a bit, although not as much as I'd hope for, I knew that I can restore through CWM but unfortunately, the restore point that it created presented with an error and I can't restore it.
So I resorted to flashing a stock rom through ODIN and followed the steps in unbricking the phone.
I encountered some difficulties with regard to the drivers and all that but I managed to have the correct ones installed.
Now comes the final problem
As I am trying to have ODIN flash the stock rom, it wouldn't continue as it does in the videos that I watched. It would always stop in about 10 seconds and say that it failed.
I tried another stock rom from a different location and it still wouldn't work.
I have also run ODIN as an administrator, and this presented:

Again it only took about 10 seconds to stop.
I am running ODIN 3 v1.85
I have also uninstalled KIES.
Whenever I would cleared all the cache and mount everything sometimes it would bring me to the android setup at startup, but if I try to type there is no keyboard that would popup. And if I choose skip it, it's just black, but if I lock it, the blue stock lockscreen appears. Nothing else after that.
I decided to post as a last resort and knowing that I have done all in my ability to repair it.
So there it is, I tried to be as specific as possible to the things that I have done throughout the day,
A couple of solutions I found as I searched was to try to flash a stock rom through CWM, another suggested to use a different version of ODIN.
If someone could please point me to the right direction as to how to repair my device, it would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you very much for your time.
UPDATE: While I'm writing this I tried the latest version of ODIN and it still won't work. Same issue. Please help
See first of all Split the Firmware into 3 Parts PDA & MODEM & CSC then use pit file also ..
Ok now follow these
1.Go into recovery mod do wipe data/Cache
2.Get into CWM again do wipe data/cache
3.Now take down it into download mode and flash the Stock firmware .
Hope these works .

Hello Hitesh! Thank you so much for your correspondence. I've been seeing your consistent replies to people who have the same problem as I had.
As for my phone, I managed to unbrick it yesterday by flashing a different custom ROM through CWM. I am currently running Extremis 2.1 from destructo570
Again thank you very much for your help.
As an advice to anyone who will have the same problem in the future, make sure that before you install a custom ROM to clear the cache and all that. Good luck!

Okay, A little background quick! I just signed up for XDA because I have been lurking all day, and everyone seems to have their problems solved fairly quickly. Unfortunately none of the fixes here have helped me.
I was running KitKat for a while on my Verizon Galaxy Note 2 SCH-I605. I started having trouble with my SD card and it seemed my only route to fixing it was to root. Initially I was ignorant and used some one click solution. It certainly rooted my device, but it did not unlock my bootloader and when I tried accessing CWM Recovery my phone soft bricked. I proceeded to download ODIN and my phone's stock firmware. I flashed it and fixed my phone.
At this point I should have said goodbye to rooting, but I am a stupid stupid man. I flashed a rooted stock for my phone and it worked, but once again running CWM soft bricked me. I tried a few different things, rooting and trying to get things to work - flashing stock whenever I soft bricked again. Eventually, for whatever reason, ODIN froze when flashing STOCK. This was right around where I was giving up on the whole escapade. I an Install Firmware error and a message for KIES to repair it. I looked online, but none of the methods seemed to fix it. VZW Upgrade Assistant didn't help, and KIES won't either.
The Crux of the Problem:
I managed to get my phone in download mode and in a state of relief flashed stock to fix my phone and leave this all behind. Odin flashed, it all went well. I was very careful to follow the proper steps to ensure a proper flash of stock. Odin went through all its steps, my phone went to reboot. This time odin said PASS! before my phone finished rebooting. Now my phone is just sitting on the screen that says "Samsung GALAXY Note II". I can get to the download screen still, but I can not get to recovery to factory reset.
I know I screwed up on this, please don't tell me everything I should and shouldn't have done. I know i shouldn't have done any of this. I just want some help putting this behind me, whatever the cost. Please help me out guys!
Guys
Please help! I absolutely need my phone, and my only alternative is buying a new one. My older phones have batteries that last 5 minutes tops. Please help me here! I don't have Almost a grand for a new phone!
OMG
I got it! Fixed! After 7 hours of deep searching and experimentation I found the cure for my phone! All the things I was doing! It was so simple! Unfortunately it landed me back with KitKat Stock (Whatever, I'll deal with it), but it saved me. I flashed 4.3 Stock that I got from SamFirmware!
This is a newer firmware than I had before, but so be it! I'm so estatic!
Thank you guys! A lot of the info I found tonight was throughout the forums. No one thing here fixed my issue, but a combination of the threads here brought me to this conclusion! You guys are the bomb! Have a wonderful day!
Good job man

And your method was???? lol... I was helping my friend unroot from stock rooted with twrp, and my method was to start fresh with a stock 4.3 i found at samsfirmware. I used odin 3.09 and all went well until it finished and was boot looping (more of a flash). I tried the normal go to recovery and wipe davlik and factory reset but i cant get into recovery. So next i tried to re flash and once that didnt work i made sure my note 2 drivers were up to date. And here I am still cant flash and cant figure anything out and still cant flash. Below is what it shows for me, but yea if you could share what you did it would be so helpful!

Hi
I am in a serious trouble.
I am having a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G
Its running on Stock Rom JB v4.1.2
I wanted to update it to Kitkat 4.4.2 by CyanogenMod 11 Custom Rom.
In order to do that i have rooted my phone using VRoot.
Installed CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2
Copied the ROM files and Gapps to SD Card.
Done all the prerequisite and started installing the ROM.
Then the installation failed showing Error Status 7.
Upon googling about status 7 i got to know that the CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 which i used doesn't support for
installing CM11.
Then i searched for the latest CWM Recovery and got to know about the Philz CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.5
I also got to know that in order to install Philz CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.4.5 you need to have a PC with Odin
v3.09 installed to flash this latest CWM Recovery.
Then i downloaded philz_touch_6.19.3-i9100g.tar.md5.
Installed Odin v3.09 in my PC.
Gone into Download mode by pressing Home + Volume Down + Power Button then warning screen came up then by
pressing volume up i came into download mode.
Then i connected my device to PC using USB cable. I got the added message. I also got the COM Port number.
But instead of Yellow as said in the tutorial i got Light Blue Color which i ignored. I thought the Odin
software might had made any changes to their software.
I clicked the AP button and selected the TAR file downloaded then clicked the START button.
Again failed. I don't know why that happened.
I removed the USB cable and reinserted then done the same. Then some message came and process is going on...
waited for 20 mins till nothing was happening.
Fed up of all the process i removed the USB cable thinking of forgetting Kitkat and use the stock rom.
After removing the USB cable suddenly a message flashed on the screen.
Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Whatever i do only this is appearing on screen.
Nor it's going into Download Mode or Recovery Mode.
Please help me in recovering my phone to Stock ROM or Custom ROM.
Last hope is jig. It force download mode when.you cant by pressing buttons. If this doesnt help i think that your phone is now a clip for paper. In odin you should choose pda and after that choose kernel. I never had blue sign in odin but i had i9100. You should from the beghinig try philz kernel to root amd get cwm recovery. So as i sad you must try jig usb very cheap thing or you can do it by yourself. Maybe you should either try kies and kies recovery firmware.

Here's where your problems are.
1. Never unplug your cable during an Odin flash. Wait till it fails. Else you'll get trouble, guaranteed.
2. You're in forced download mode. Flash a Stock ROM using Odin while it says 'firmware update encountered an issue'.
3. Instead of using Odin with Philz, next time you can just flash Philz directly from the external SD card (at least on i9100, not sure about the i9100G). Much easier.
Regarding the blue in Odin, I'm pretty sure that's OK. I've seen reports of other people getting blue instead of yellow. I've always had yellow myself but wouldn't hesitate to flash if it was blue.
Newer versions of Odin have blue in the ID:COM field.
Done as said by you

Why did you flash Philz? I said to flash a stock ROM with Odin, not flash Philz.... Click the Odin link in my signature and you can find a 3-part firmware, which will wipe as it flashes. DO NOT flash the 3-part firmware, you have an i9100G. You need to download a stock ROM from Samfirmware or similar. Instructions are in the thread. If it fails again, then follow all of the troubleshooting steps. Keep flashing till you get a successful flash. There's nothing else you can't try which is in that thread, so keep at it.
Edit: Stop. There is no Philz kernel for i9100G. Why on earth did you flash it? It only exists for i9100. Not the 'G' variant. What to do from here? Flash a stock ROM via Odin, like I said to start with, make sure it's for an i9100G.
However, now that you've unplugged the cable during a flash, and flashed the wrong file at least twice, I'm not holding out high hopes for your phone recovering from this.
The ability of people to read & comprehend the help they've been given here & then actually do what's been suggested seems to get worse & worse as time goes by.
Give some very specific advice (step by step stuff, or refer them to step by step stuff), they go do something completely different. I mean, if that's going to happen, why bother asking for help in the first place ?
@MistahBungle, read the edit on my previous post (if you haven't seen it already). Do you agree the only chance is a stock ROM? I don't know, I don't see many this stuffed up very often.
Edit: Unless, there is a Philz for i9100g. But I can't find an XDA thread for it just by having a cursory glance.
Yep. Flashing a stock rom & praying is pretty much the only option. Classic case of 'attempting to do without learning'. Imagine how much **** these people would be in if the half dozen of us or so who post most of the useful help here decided to move on ?
I did find Philz for i9100g, but it's ages old (newest one I could find was 6.19.3, think Philz is up to 6.30.something). There's also no xda thread for it, so I'm tipping that the i9100 version has been flashed. Still not holding high hopes even with a correct stock ROM.
I know, there's less people here than when I started by a long shot. You're by far the most active on here, but I thought you had an S4? I'll be getting the N5 in a month or so. I still plan to be in S2 threads but obviously to a lesser extent.
I do have an S4, but apart from the first couple of months, lost interest in modding it. I want stuff to 'just work' these days for the most part. I do run a custom rom/kernel, I just haven't changed it in ages & not interested in anything that trips Knox. Just can't be bothered putting up with stuff not working/spending a lot of time trying to make it work.
So...I accumulated a lot more knowledge of the S2, given I spent 18 mths or so actively modding it.
Understood. Yes that's what seems to be happening more now, phones which, if they're not on stock ROM, lose a lot of functionality/have stuff 'not work' for whatever reason. Like the GNote & its S-pen, HTC One and boomsound, Sony and its Bravia engine. I assume you still own the S2 anyway...
While you're here, is there anything in the Odin troubleshooting guide you've noticed which should be changed? I read over it again the other day but couldn't see anything major. If you don't want to read/comment no problem, asking as you're the resident Odin guru.
Yeah still have the S2. Haven't switched in on in 6 mths tho.
Nah, you've got everything covered in your thread. It's a great resource ('Odin expert' ? Hardly. I just read/learned a lot )
Mmm I imagine it's not the greatest experience after using a phone 3yrs newer for a while Cool. I added a couple little things just now (another pit file thread (shudder) which is quite well done & re-hosted the 3-part firmware instead of dropbox. Nothing special). Ok, call yourself what you want but what I'm sure of, is that by being on Q&A so much you have a lot more troubleshooting knowledge than probably anyone else for S2

Thanks Hopper for the help...
I have downloaded the Stock ROM for GT-I9100 Indian Version from Sammobile. I don't know what is 3-part firmware.
Now what i am going to do is Connect the phone to my PC showing (Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again) screen.
Then by clicking AP button selecting the TAR file extracted from the Zip file (Stock ROM).
Double check that only AUTO REBOOT & F.RESET TIME checkboxes are selected.
Hit Start and try my luck.
Shall i go ahead. Waiting for your nod...
*nod*
Edit - Hang on, I hope you downloaded I9100G firmware. If you downloaded I9100 Indian firmware, don't flash that.

Hey guys. I've run into an issue with my GT-i9300 International version just yesterday at it's racking my brains up.
Here's the lowdown about the device
It's the international GTi9300 (3G version)
It runs ArchiDroid v2.1.4 ROM
This rom was installed a year ago and gave no issues what so ever.
Just yesterday the device did not boot up. i Managed to get it into philz recovery to see whats the problem. i get the error message that it couldnt mount /data, /system & etc.
I have posted the screenshots. I've tried backing up, mounting and even factory wiping but it does not work
I have a feeling the eMMC flash storage has failed and therefore i have a hardware failure :crying:
I hope this is not the case since i have lots of important data on this phone (it's my secondary phone)
Have a look at the screens. lemme know the fate of my S3, whether it is possible to recover this device or not
p.s: I've checked all over the net. i've only come across the /efs not mounting issue. not what im going through

Have you flashed stock firmware with Odin yet? This is the first thing you need to do to see if Odin works or gives errors....don't forget to factory reset after flashing. I'm afraid you may have to live with losing your data if you can't back it up in recovery.

Status report.
I tried flashing a stock rom which is on 4.3
It says NAND write failure. screenshot uploaded.
So i'm guessing my eMMC is corrupt or has failed :crying:
I did more research and found out that i could repartition it using a .pit file
This thread shows the relevant pit files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30547929#post30547929
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit is for the 16 gb s3.
i'll flash with with the ROM
Lemme know if this is alright :good:

Be careful the thread is for verizon you can't flash any pit files from there be 100% sure the pit file is for S3 international try looking here this is the rescue firmware >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 << there is a pit file in the 4.1.2 download but you need to flash the 4.3 in the link to stop efs issues. But to be honest it doesn't look too good if this fails I recommend a service repair.

Status report.
I tried flashing a stock rom which is on 4.3
It says NAND write failure. screenshot uploaded.
So i'm guessing my eMMC is corrupt or has failed :crying:
I did more research and found out that i could repartition it using a .pit file
This thread shows the relevant pit files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30547929#post30547929
GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit is for the 16 gb s3.

Lemme know if this is alright :good:

I have a feeling the eMMC flash storage has failed and therefore i have a hardware failure
This is true
So flashing all 4 stock files (including pit) via odin turned out to be a Fail
I guess the eMMC is not functional resulting in a hardware failure
Thanks for the help @tallman43
If anyone else has suggestions, feel free to post them here

Has this happened to your S3?
I havent tinkered with anything and this happens
I just installed a ROm and left it for a year
Oh well
Yes it happened to me same problem
Looks like the rollout today came in 2 updates. I downloaded the first and installed with no problem but the 2nd which actually puts in lolipop can't install. It says error 402, google/the Verizon forums doesn't have any info on it.
I have the same issue. I have tried Wifi and the Verizon Software Assistant download, and neither works. I am on the hunt for any suggestions as to how to get past this. Since I have just Factory Reset my phone, I will try pretty much anything.
I had 402 error. I downloaded I545VRUFNK1_I545VZWFNK1_I545VRUFNK1_HOME.tar from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-root-i545vrufnk1-4-4-2-12-1-2014-t2959613
Extract the .tar file
Install with Odin v3.09+ (put the .tar file in AP slot) and put phone in download mode
It will keep all data.
After reboot install both updates again.

Negative. But I knew that before.
If you're having trouble with the Odin portion of this, check to see if you're using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port. My issues seemed to be directly related to using 3.0. No idea why, or whether or not this is a known thing but I'm Odin-ing successfully right now. I'm leaving the "struggle" report in case it might help somebody who has gone through the same process unsuccessfully. Cheers
Followed the Odin instructions. Get a Fail. Using original cable. Here's the log:

I made it to NK4 on the OTAs so maybe flashing NK1 won't work? Gonna try the NG6 and NK1 FULL WIPE Odin file. (found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540736)
The good news is that I can still get into download mode after a battery pull so I'm just going to try and find another Odin file.
Tried using a Pit file given there's no partition. Didn't work. Looks like I've got a morning of thread crawling to look forward to.
As crazy as this might sound, I found the answer for me on Verizon's actual forums from a Verizon customer service rep! That NEVER happens. I almost entirely dismissed it. He told someone asking about this problem, "If that doesn't work, the manufacturer has another way to install the update." I thought that sounding interesting. The link took me to Samsung Kies (an app for the PC) and there you have a choice to install either Kies or Kies3. For some reason it suggests we need Kies, but Kies3 is actually what we need as our S4's have been updated beyond when this site was created.
After installing that, the app TRIES to suggest that we're better off with Smart-something or other, but that's just for transferring contacts and such between two phones. Ignore that and just connect your phone via cable to the PC and Kies will see it and tell you there's an update. It then installed the update without a hitch!
What's amazing is that I also own a Samsung Galaxy Note Pro (the 12.2 inch tablet) that had some issues. However, it would never say there was any sort of update and I could never find one mentioned online. Kies said there was one and installed it. Now the tablet's snappier and better than ever. What a surprise find....
Agrajag27 - OMG, thank you very much! That worked, simple update, and I am on lollipop! Great find!
Hi, got a problem with my SGS2 I9100P
So, I had Lineage (14.1) installed and since it sometimes corrupted itself, I had a backup done that I've had to use a couple of times to fix it. The partition size is modified, using lanchon's repit, with the settings being 2GB for the system, 6GB for the data.
Earlier today, all of a sudden, can't save images, I can't see the music that I have on my phone, so I decide to reboot it and it bootloops. No worries, I'll just flash that bac- Oh no. Can't access my recovery.
So far, I've tried everything I could, including this guide even though I had to track down a lot of the stuff since 99.9% of the links are dead, I haven't been able to get my hands on the bootloader for the I9100P however, seems like it's non-existent. I tried flashing the recoveries I had on hand (TWRP and CWM) and the only one I could access was the CWM that is packed with the TRIM Kernel made by lanchon, this one, but once I get into the recovery, I can't factory reset, it just shows me a blank screen with nothing moving when I try to wipe data.
I've tried flashing the TWRP 3.1.0.0 that I had, tried different kernels, I tried putting the stock ROM via ODIN, which passes but then ends up in a bootloop (30 minutes and it didn't boot, so I think it's safe to say it was not booting).
I'm at a loss and this is my only phone currently, I have no backup phones, no nothing, there's a reason I'm on a SGS2 in the first place, if I could have better, I would, but I don't have the money to spare for a new phone, so I need to make it work again.
Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time, people.
EDIT: Also, forgot mentioning that on the unflashable fix guide, I tried flashing with repartitioning and I get a FAIL on ODIN with this being the result, but that might just be the file I have, since it's just one .tar file for the entire thing.

EDIT 2: Stumbled upon a file that had every ROM with all the files for them since 2.3, phone booted, back on 4.1.2 now, all I have to do is reinstall everything once the phone is charged up again, problem solved.
If you're interested in the file, it's on a Dropbox here. Found it on a french forum, it contains the full ROM in separate files for 2.3.5, as well as both 4.0.3 ROMs from Samsung, everything is in separate folders in the order of install, pretty neat.
I have the same problem, so I'll give this a go and report back. Thankd
