Hi,
I am trying to flash my S2 using Odin, and no matter what I try I always get the same result.
It doesn't work.
The phone will go in to the mod where I press the volume down button, home and power, but if I try to press up, home and power notkinh happens.
It all started a few days a go when it started getting stuck in a loop, just showing samsung mobile logo and it won't go further than that.
When I start Odin, it recognises the device, starts normally, and then it says Complete(Write) operation failed.
I've attached a screenshot, please help if you can.
If I try adding the pit file then the situation in the second picture happens, it goes on and on and on..
thank you in advance
Siyah for s3!!!!!!!! Not s2 .

i have tried using every frickin guide there is if you know of one that has all the steps and all the files for download in one place, and explained like to an idiot I would be very grateful
You tried to flash an s3 kernal. There's an s2 kernel, check everything before flashing. You are lucky the phone didn't bricked.

Not that long. You may well have borked it.

it would get stuck in a loop showing just the samsung logo before, so i have not moved far from that, since it was unusable before as well
can you help? any tips?

Check if you have kies running in the background. Kill any instant of kies. Or some software such as bluestacks.
Then try again. It takes only less than 1 minute or so for kernal flashing

Flash 4.1.2 stock with Odin. See if it boots up. If not factory reset in recovery and see if it boots. For root flash philz kernel either in stock recovery or with Odin. Like its been pointed out by mb...you will be lucky if you haven't damaged it beyond "flashing something to fix it" repair.
Also why are you using a pit file??!??!?

Hi,
I have just rooted the S3 using odin. All installed ok. Installed ClockworkMod recovery and selected the backup ROM option. Phone rebooted in to recovery and the backup failed.
Used the volume keys and selected reboot now and hit the power button and the menu dissapeared leaving the Clockworkmod logo in the middle of the screen, nothing happened. Click the power button again and the menu comes back. Click the front button and nothing happened.
Tried turning off the phone and it goes back in to the recovery menu. Pull out the battery and put back in and goes back to recovery.
I can't select any option in recovery menu and can't reboot the phone normally. Any ideas?
To confirm v 5.8.4.1 is installed.
Sorted!
Noticed my error. I was using the Recovery mod app from the play store and not the CWM app installed by odin.
Repeated the odin procedure and booted back up fine.
HELP
Im having the same exact issue. Please help. What exactly do I need to do?

Repeat the flashing procedure. You are using the new flashing procedure right?? Not the old one.....new one is waaaaay quicker and relinquishes the need for CMD

Follow the exact procedure from when you first rooted the S3 that fixes it then don't use the recovery rom app from the play store. You should see an app called 'CWM' only use that.

Hello guys!
My problem is that I wanted to root my freind's I9100, but something went totally wrong...
Now my problem is that the bootloader doesn't seem to work... I hold the power button, the screen lights up, nothing happens for 1-2 minutes, it crashes and it all begins again.
The only thing that is working (I think) is the Download mode...
I tried to flash VillainROM v1.1 (I read that it would solve the problem somewhere), but it didn't work...
Also with that ROM I can get to the recovery, but unfortunately it can't find the storage (Of course I have a backup on there...)
I'm really worried right now, because it's not mine...
Please help me! :crying:
If you can get into Download mode, then flash a stock rom and see if that fixes your problem.

Didn't work for me... Any other ideas?
EDIT: I waited some minutes and now it says "KERNEL PANIC UPLOAD MODE" any ideas?
EDIT2: I've done a lot of research now and it seems like I have an emmc-brick which can only be fixed by re-partitioning... does anyone know where I can get the PIT file and if that would fix it? THANKS
what method did u use to root??
I didn't root it, i installed CWM recovery, wiped system, and then when i tried to wipe data it crashed...

I don't think that this makes a difference, root basically is just some modified system files, isn't it?
and with a new rom the old system partition gets wiped completely
I dont think its super bricked if u can power on the device. try to get into download mode and flash a stock rom. If you have warranty you better take your phone to samsung repair centre

No it cant be. If you can power on your device its not super bricked..If it was super bricked your phone would be just a piece of plastic that gets heat up near the camera area. you should have just flashed a safe kernel like siyah using odin. Its perfectly safe. you must have ticked the repartition on Odin
Your data partition is corrupted. And only flashing a .pit file would save your phone. If it doesnt, i think samsung is the only way...

That's forced download, it's like download mode, but in this case, your phone is begging you to flash something.

That exclamation mark error is telling something bad has happen with earlier flash, ie unfinished flash, corrupt files etc. Back in the old days people usually use usb jig to force phone into nornal download mode again. That happen to me once and what i did is remove battery, hold the three button combination for download mode and while still holding those buttons, force reinsert the battery. Phone should boot into download mode and should be detected by pc and can be flashed via odin. Good luck with it

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I've been running Hyperdrive rom on CWM, and decided I wanted to try Illusion. So I rebooted into recovery, deleted cache and data, then installed the Illusion rom. At the end a yellow triangle popped up telling me that the software was insecure or something, and told me to go to a Verizon store.
I read that this was due to the kernel not being loki'd, so like an idiot I went back to Odin and flashed a kernel.
Soon after my screen went black, but I could hear the sounds of me raising/lowering the volume and turning the screen on and off.
I took the battery out and put it back in, and now all I see is an empty battery imposed on a black background with a frozen loading-circle int he middle.
Have I bricked my phone?
Edit:
When I unplug the phone from my computer and turn it on I see the Samsung boot-up along with the word Custom and unlocked icon above it. From there all I get is a black screen.
I can hold the lock+home+lower volume keys and I get the "Press volume up key if you want to download a custom OS" and "Volume down to cancel (restart phone)" screen, then the little green android shows up. Is there anything I can do from here?
You likely have "soft bricked" it, as long as you can still access it with odin or push files to it with adb you are not hard bricked... if you can, get the current verizon firmware from Sammobile.com and flash that with odin. This or fastboot are your best options. Take your time. Dont make things worse by trying things without reading completely. As long as you can flash and see it from adb or odin you can get it fixed up. Good luck

Edit: Ah! After I wiped the cache my system auto-rebooted and it successfully booted up. Factory settings!
