I am new with the Android,
i have a i9100 galaxy, which i have flashed and other phones also (for freinds) several times with new firmware 2.3.4
Bubut this time i was trying ICS on my s2, after installing ICS with odin the phone did not perform well and it was not upgrading the market to google play, so i decided to reformat and install from scratch,
I entered the recovery mode and formated all options then into download mode and i tried to install ICS and the install was not successfully, then i do not why! i decided to reflash the pit, all went well and after the flashing it shut down and never came back on again
Now i have an expensive brick.
It does not start at all (i have tried download mode, recovery mode, remove battery etc.. no luck) it is totally dead
Any one Help !!!!
Thank you
Alot of guides said never do the .pit repartition because you may hard brick your device. Send it to samsung service center for repair.

Seriously, why cannot people understand that flashing the PIT file is totally unnecessary and will more often than not, end up bricking your device?
You'll need to send it to Samsung for repairs.

Thank you for the quick reply, i was hoping for a different answer
i have read that that a JTag cable might help i will try later and get back with results
JTAG repair equipment is expensive & takes expertise to use. You can send it to someone who does JTAG repairs; this one in the US does them for $50 USD, no doubt there are others you can find via Google.

Same problem here , after flashing PIT my phone goes black with no respond at all , no charging .....
As stated on other link, sounds like youve both flashed the wrong pit file and the only repair for this is JTAG service.
Flashing a pit is safe, so long as you do it the correct way and flash all the accompanied files, ive flashed samsung pits and never bricked before, there shouldnt be confusion because samfirmware release a lot of stock roms with the pit file and theres plenty of guides to flash them and there is only 1 pit file by samsung for the i9100, its really up to you guys to make sure you are using the correct file when flashing your phones, if you dont know then you should never touch anything more advanced than a 1 file package.
Hope you get them sorted but i think youll have problems.
Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 dead after flash
Hello friends i'm new with Android recently i saw a video from youtube and download the firmware and followed the instructions but sadly my phones totally dead after that no response from my phone when ever i connect it to my laptop through USB it shows the charging icon for few seconeds and also i booted to download mode with USB but no benefit plz help me
Hello,
Im all new in this forums and i just got my just got my first smartphone, a samsung galaxy ace with android 2.3.6
I tried to root it on my windows 7 laptop with superoneclickroot. this didnt work so i flashed AceGingerRoot with the stock recovery and it succeeded. After this i tried to flash ClockWorkModRecovery with the stock revovery and the original version didnt work so i downloaded ClockWorkAce.zip and flashed this with the stock recovery. After this i clicked reboot now. and after that my phone wouldnt boot anymore. I can turn it on but it then keeps getting stuck at the boot screen with samsung galaxy ace gt s5830i on it... I can get into recovery mode and into download mode and i looked on some forums and they told me to just flash the stock rom with odin. I tried this and got my phone in download/odin mode (it says odin mode but idk if it is download or odin mode) but my pc and laptop both dont recognize the phone, but my pc actually says: ''unknown device is ready for use'' but in odin the white box thingy with com port mapping above it doesnt become yellow, although i added the cooper.ops in the select ops box and i also added a 1 package in the one package option. oh, also when i plug the phone into the usb cable when its off it give a grey empty battery with a loading circle inside it on the phones screen
I only got my phone 1 day now so please help me, it would be REALLY REALLY appreciated

Try to install samsung usb drivers.the download mode volume down+home+power button...
Bootloader okay... (phew)
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/SAMSUNG-USB-Driver-1480.shtml
Then give it a go, at least you can get into download/recovery mode
Hmm, I might look into getting you a flashable stock recovery for 5830i... but don't rely on it
If this doesn't work you can try to install samsung kies. There are the drivers included, too
Purchased your phone today and already bricked it? Bravo
Well bro install Samsung Kies, it'll install all necessary drivers for you ( most of cases)
Then try ODIN and it'll recognize your device or go to samfirmware.com and you'll find everything of your need.
and you need to be very careful now on selecting anything for your device as its GT-s5830I not standard version GT-s5830. So must of the stuff will not work only S5830I things will work

The Cyanogenmod9 isnt for the 5830i - it will brick it more (perhaps past rescue)

Unfortunately the 5830i Has no custom ROMS as of yet, ill extract some firmware appropriate to your device and see if I can help you.
I need to know when your device stopped booting
I also need a copy and paste of your odin log when you attempt to flash (the text in the bottom left of application)

Nope, its not a ROM- Its a Deodex (Removes .odex files in system/app to make free space) and only works on two paticular basebands
Try installing this in your recovery, you may have to name it update.zip, it is a cwm for your 5830i that you had on the link.
(Standard disclaimer, if it doesn't work and messes up your device further- I apologise very much, but you agree to take no action. By trying this you agree to it)
ok, i started odin version 1.84 (it says odin3 1,84) and here my phone gets recognized but its a really complicated program. I think it can be fixed with this program but i just dont understand it and the only stock rom i can find for s5830i is this one: http://www.androidaddicted.com/firm...erbread-2-3-6-india-firmware-update-1450.html and it is a indian version but the only one i think
I have the international edition of the S3 that a was messing around with, and I ended up installing some rom and now I can't even get into recovery. I've searched around and tried multiple methods of fixing it. The only thing I can access is download mode. Can anyone help?
same my condition ..... it's looks like sudden death ..... try flash any recovery files ... if not ... ur last hope doing PIT then if u failed to 100% successfully .... need a new MotherBoard ... replace it if warranty recover
ps: act like fool and tell them u have sudden Death and u didnt play with anything (dont mention ur flash custom rom/firmware ....it will cancel ur warranty)
sry for lose man , u not the only one ... i cant even replace it with warranty due to bought from another country
good luck

Do you know where I could find instructions on how to flash a PIT?
this is file come from sammobile.com website
providing u the right PIT file with flasher
http://www.mediafire.com/?ddfpfkk2pb8326k
connect ur mobile , open odin program and then press on PIT button and navigate PIT files then (as i think) choose the latest PIT file with name i9300 (ur mobile Model) and latest date and then hit start ..... good luck but i recommend u send it to ur Samsung repair center if warranty cover
good luck
stop!
before messing with pit files, which is extremely dangerous, flash a stock ROM through Odin and then do a factory reset from recovery

Exactly this^^^^....pit file flashing is an absolute last resort, not a first solution
did you tried flashing 4.0.4 stock rom with odin?
same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago, flashing 4.0.4 and after that flashing 4.1.2 fixed it.
try to do not mess with pit especially if you didn't backup your efs folder. it is not needed.

I've already tried to flash a stock firmware, but I still couldn't get it into recovery. I'm not sure if it was the right one though. I have a regular unbranded SIII, is there a specific firmware I should flash?

okay? the first thing to do here is just flash a stock ROM, no need for pit files
Mine was stuck before than samsung logo, on the model number screen. Almost 1 second or less after opening the device.
Then i flashed 4.0.4 and magically it opened without any loop or something. Its useless to flash 4.1.2 or any other jb stock rom, for some reason it seems not fixing the loop issue.
Again, there is no problem related with pit files.

It's all individual, what worked for you might not work for others. Don't say that flashing JB is useless, because it's not
I flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware through odin. The operation was successful, but I was still unable to enter recovery. What am I doing wrong?

Follow the steps to root and flash your custom ROM again as if you just got your phone. The same thing happened to my T999, and it took me 3 tries doing this to finally get back into Recovery.
try to flash in odin stock rom then root use cwm then try to go to recovery..
My cousin's having the same exact issue and we've been unable to find the proper rom. Can anyone please tell me where to get one? I've downloaded some "international" ones but when i try to upload it it keeps telling me failed, i've tried at least 4 or 5 different roms.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
Phone is:
GT-i9300
using it in the US with StraightTalk in the US (been working like a charm for ~6 months, all of a suddent when into this weird limp mode)
Phone was running jellybean 4.1.1 (through kies) and not rooted
Try several times before giving up. Sometimes it works after when the device feels that you've had enough stress and fear.
I mean the problem is common but it's solved in different ways or different repeats.
But it seems that your problem is a software problem that can be solved.

its unfortunate that my first post in this forum is due to my stupidity in bricking my galaxy s3. I accidentally flashed the international omega ROM to my sprint s3 i thought i had double checked it but guess not. Ive heard that there is no way of unbricking a galaxy s3 unless you use a jtag or send it in.
does not respond or power on
no recovery or download mode
no signs of life except when plugged into a computer you hear the beep noise
i recently had the galaxy nexus and was able to recover it from a hard brick by using a command line im not sure if anything like that exist for the s3 ive only had it for a couple days now.
some more info i was running paranoid android rooted 4.3.2 the newest beta release 3.99 i think i acquired it from goo manager. i accuired I9300_Omega_v11_AOKP_Android_4.3.1_107B1578FFF0079E5FD69A1258D39CF2.zip and tried flashing it leaving my phone unbootable :/ any help is appreciated im not a complete nub when coming to this but no expert i have a jig made for the samsung galaxy nexus but didnt work on the s3 thanks again
If anything can resurrect it, only unbrick jig, or service centre. You won't do anything else if bootloader is dead.
Personally I think that even unbrick jig won't boot it, as bootloader is definitely overwritten with other one and you have a brick.

this is what i thought i read a thread that said you can copy the bootloader from another s3 and flash it to your device or use ubuntu to flash a img file to a sdcard and try to get into download mode from a dump but i havnt tried either of them

Yes, if you manage to write a new bootloader to a memory it should work. But for doing so you need to contact a repair centre, as usb jig probably won't boot it either.
Unless you're expert and you manage to do so manualy.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9200 MTK6572A Bricked Need Help Urgent
Hi
Anyone who can help me fix my phone. I was to load a custom ROM on my phone but since i was using SP Flash Tools accidentally clicked full format and everything is gone and nothing turns on. When i plug in the phone the unknown device dhows in the device manager of windows 8.1 I have tried to install the drivers but every time i try to flash it it returns with DRAM FAIL or some other related errors. I have made an insane mistake and seems like i have BRICKED the phone. I am unable to find the ROM, The Kernel, Scatter file, I have managed to get a scatter file but it does not work with the SP Flash tools. I tried to use ODIN but the phone does not go into download mode previously while trying to install the custom ROM. The chip is MTK 6572A, It is a dual core 1.7ghz, Mali 400, I have lost the original backup and everything. Please folks help me to fix the phone back and how can I go about it any thing that can make it work I would be thank full.
