herez another thread you should read.
and if youre gonna perform stock firmware flashing. try to flash what you had before to be safe with coroupted IMEI and EFS problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/fix-s3-to-factory-unroot-stock-recovery-t2323847
in this guide, you may directly start with 4th step.
and use ODIN 1.85 and make sure device drivers gets installed in download mode. to do that, install latest kies (depending on if you were on 4.1.2 or 4.3) but make sure kies isn't running when you use ODIN. hope this helps.

cant you get into stock recovery? as samsung logo boots up, its probably you can and try to perform a reset from there. is you can get in, your android version will be there. if you can post a pic here.
oh and in case, press vol up + home + power button and keep pressing untill you see samsung logo appars 2 times to get into the recovery.

Download stock rom and flash it using odin then go into recovery mod by pressing volume up+home +power key and do factory data reset and wipe cache and then reboot

So now i can't turn on my phone... It always turns and turns but not fully, just to that step where writes samsung galaxy s II... :O what to doo!! ?? Only way is odin? and how? pls i need full explanation :/
Can you get into recovery or download mode?? Also show some respect for the devs work rather than calling it "****"

Did you make a Nandroid backup before flashing? (then just go into recovery and restore).
If not,
Go into download mode (volume down + home button + power button) and flash your stock rom with ODIN. Download your correct firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
(there are also instructions on how to do it)
Do a factory reset and wipe your cache first before you do this (in recovery mode).
I can use only odin i think, cuz i can't turn on the phone so there is not any other possibility...:/
can i download listening room 6.1 and instal because that's only i found via odin.. exept that u said me here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ?
I made only titanium backup... that doesnt help right?
Btw how can i know what is my karnel version ? i mean... last i instal was listening room 6.1 and i instal it just now bia odin... but phone still doesnt works... so? what to do? :O before litening room was dark knight and before knight was MIUI 2.3.7 v10 smth like that... and all those versions i instaled today...:O
Just use a stock rom first. I think a 3 parted with a pit file is the best way ;-)

You say that you can't turn on the phone? Even to download mode? (hold volume down + home, then press power and hold all three) If the phone doesn't come on at all, it sounds like you are screwed, and have to take the phone to a service center. Or get a jig. And I have doubts that a jig will work.
yes, it can to download mode, just i didnt know how it calles i meant it is odin nvm... what to do now? just if you start with explaining... give me full explanation so i can't mess up again

I'd grab one of the later stock ROMs from Intratech's thread here. That thread also has detailed instructions in the first post.
But first of all, how sure are you that you have a GT-I9100? Look under your battery at the label. What model number does that label say? You want to make sure you use a ROM intended for your model of phone. Otherwise you will end up right where you're starting now - with your phone not working.
If you have an I9100 device Go to the thread given to you in the previous posts and read the first few posts calmly and thoroughly till you understand it.
Odin will be your best bet.
Download mode on your device is power+home+volume down all pressed together until it's boots.
Read the info in intratechs thread that you were linked to its all there.

Why not ? sounds like his partition scheme got a little messed up ion the process, couldn't hurt to repartition.. I do it all the time, tried it accidentally the first time, it didin't even wipe the contents of my internal SD (probably because the same partition layout got flashed than the one that was on the device).
Nowadays I do it everytime I flash a stock rom that provides a .PIT file. I mean if it's packaged with the ROM, it's certainly not for nothing, they can't be that dumb at samsung..

Any more details?
Such as exact phone model (GT-I9100/T/M/...), firmware version (ROM/PDA/kernel), what rooting method have you used, etc.
If you can boot into download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power), then you can flash another kernel (such as CF-Root) with Odin to your phone.
Good luck !
GT-I9100 thats the only thing i know. i cant even open the phone only (Volume Down + Home + Power) is working i tried that but is not working. i used kernel method i tried almost ever thing but nothing works. im from asia

That happened to me. Make sure you do the volume down+ home+ power right to enter the download mode, then flash the CF or Siyah kernel with Odin v1.7 (not v1.85).
See if it boots from there. You may need to flash some firmware (PDA) with Odin once you see it boots.
Good luck
Thanks man its working now

Let's go slow.
You managed to flash something via ODIN? Or it failed?
Since you rooted it (same as first guy), I guess it flashed so Odin detects the phone and is able to flash, right?
Explain the exact problem. What are you trying to flash?
Try downloading Siyah kernel for Odin, or Dream kernel for Odin to flash it and make it boot. If not, download an official firmware and try.
Anyway, reply the 2 bold questions.

May I ask what did you do to root before it froze?
It's weird, but at least it flashes, so you still can flash an stock firmware to get back your phone.
Maybe this one (4.0.3 so you stay away from emmc harrd-brick bug and don't blame me in case it bricked) http://www.hotfile.com/dl/161662205/363dea0/I9100UHLPS_I9100AROLP4_ARO.zip.html
Good luck
what else can i do?
By the way, now that you have Dream kernel, try booting in recovery (turn it off, then volume up + home + power hold until it gets on, then release power until you get to recovery)

You didn't mess up with a i9100 ROM instead of i9100G ROM or kernel for rooting, did you?
When did it freeze. After rooting (you made sure it booted afterwards?) or after Jelly Bean installation?

I had a boot loop on my galaxy s 2 .. out of nowhere didnt do anything.
It was too weird. I spent time reading lots of forums about this and saw different techniques.
What i did was i flashed back to 2.3.6. Did factory reset. then flashed back to ICS.
I think it happened because of some cache bull****. Just thought i should share.
Boot Loop Solved
I don't know where to post this so I'm posting it here. I have been scouring the internet for HOURS trying to figure how others got out of boot loop so I could get my phone out of it. I have a samsung galaxy s2 i9100g. I was in the process of unrooting it and while rebooting after installing the stock rom BOOM- boot loop to the samsung logo. I tried everything; battery out, in, pushing all combinations of volume(s)+home+power= nothing worked. Finally after a lot of trial and error one thing worked. I unplugged my USB and took the battery out, then while holding the three buttons I put it back in- and suddenly after hours(of trying to get something to happen) I got the download screen. (My phone wouldn't turn off or go into recovery as other suggested). So I downloaded a different stock rom and tried reinstalling via odin a few times but the problem persisted- still boot loop, still only download mode. Then I tried something different. When in download mode I decided to see what would happen if I pushed the volume down to 'reboot'. To my amazement my phone started up and went past the samsung logo for the first time in FOUR HOURS. It went into recovery mode! Then I factory reset it, and restarted it. So keep at if you think your phone is soft bricked or boot looped. I appreciate everyone else's questions/answers that kept me going while trying to figure out something that worked for me. So I'll break it down into steps.
1)unplug USB, take out battery. Hold down volume (holding down the 'down' volume worked for me), home and power button then quickly slide the battery in(while still holding down till the screen comes up). It may take a few times but the 'download mode' screen should come right up.
2)using odin install the stock ROM for your phone
3)when re installation is complete follow step 1 to get into download mode
4)instead of clicking the volume up for download, click down to restart and recovery mode should come up
5)factory reset your phone and reboot
I genuinely hope this helps someone. Nothing worse than rendering your phone useless.

The problem is I don't find a ODIN that works... links seem to be broken.
I have even risked to download a couple (4) different odin versions and some windows drivers / stock roms from the wild internet (who knows what crap those executables and files may come with), but I had no success with it...
I don't know how we can find trustable files that are required, or at least verify checksums somewhere to be sure that we don't get any unrequested present instead....

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 won't boot. Recovery mode not accessible.

Hi all!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I since a week cannot start. It get stuck on the black/white samsung logo. I cannot enter recovery mode, nothing happens when releasing the power button after pressing volumeup+home+power buttons. I can however reach download mode. I'm not sure what caused this problem, one day I just couldn't start it. I read on forums that many similar problems seem to have occurred when upgrading android but I'm not sure this is the case here (unless the phone made an automatic update while I was asleep). I'm not sure what version of android I'm running, but I'm pretty sure it is at least the ICS.
I would like to hard reset my phone if possible. It seems to be easiest through the recovery mode which I cannot get into.. I read things about Odin, connecting the phone to the computer and downloading android to the phone but haven't quite grasped it. Could anyone explain this option for me or point me in the right direction? Are there other options?
I would appreciate any help, especially since my 1-year warranty expired a month ago!
Best regards,
Marcus

Sounds like the symptoms of a NAND RW corruption. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Hi Marcus,
I had the same problem few days back.
If it's not broken by you trying something fancy, the best solution is to take it to service centre. If you have rooted your device, had installed some custom firmware or are not willing to visit the service centre for some other reason, please read ahead.
All I did was,
Installed USB connectivity drivers through Kies.
Installed ODIN 1.83
Ensured that Kies or any of its processes are not running in background.
Downloaded the official SGS2 firmware
Flashed the firmware through ODIN.
It took around 10 minutes for the full process and I was having my mobile up and running. Using ODIN sounds scary initially if you haven't used it. I have slowly started gaining confidence in it after using it a few times.
Please note that though the process is well proven to be safe, there is still an amount of risk involved.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Download a siyah kernel(like v4.0.1) .tar file and flash through odin.
See if that makes it boot/lets you into recovery.

A couple of things..ensure KIES is not running on your computer in the background. If possible delete it completely. Also ensure your phone is connected to a USB port directly on the computer and not via a hub or to a USB port on a keyboard or something. Odin is a finicky s/w..so..
Also, try different versions. If v1.85 doesn't work try v3.4

Lol at underlining. if you flash a custom kernel like siyah, you'll be rooted and get CWM. Using that you can install a custom ROM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
And youll be safe from the 4.0.4 brickbug if you flash siyah.
You flash a kernel for various reasons like it has emmc cap disabled,you can tweak it etc.
You can flash siyah kernel and stop there.Or you can move onto a custom rom.
Whatever,when its done-backup your efs and make a nand backup.
And yesterday I was downgrading my wifes phone onto 4.0.3.I was using odin and kept getting "failed".After 3 attempts I realised I hadnt put the phone into download mode..........how stupids that......lol
hi there, just wondering, after Flashing the stock firmware through ODIN, do you lose everything in your phone? i need to get all the notes that I have in my phone (notes from the samsung stock apps). I dont have any external sd card in the phone. thanks in advance for the reply.

Hi there sir,
Has the problem solved ? Care to share the solution ?
Thanks.
i had the same exact problem, i tried flashing with odin n stock firmware but stuck in NAND write start, i didnt try flashing with PIT & repartition though, i couldnt be bothered anymore, so i took it to samsung service plaza, they told me the problem is in the main PCB (hardware issue), so all they did was replace that n it got fixed! i didnt pay because it's still under contract/ carrier warranty

I had a similar problem, stuck at boot with Biftor v12, which happened after I tried to update SuperSU binary through CWM/TWRP. I don't know why it stuck at boot and why it wouldn't reboot to Recovery. Download mode was still working, so I had no choice but to flash new kernel through ODIN and see if it works.
So if your symptoms sound similar to mine, here's what I did to be able to boot again:
I REPEAT, SIMILAR TO MINE. MY SOLUTION MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY APPLY TO YOURS.
1. Download a suitable kernel in tar.md5 format. I used PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 for XWLSN firmware (see OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270)
2. Download ODIN, if you don't have it, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
3. Once installed, boot your phone in Download mode by pressing Vol Down+Home+Power together until you see a warning dialog. Press Vol UP to get into download mode.
4. Make sure ODIN is running, and NO KIES processes are running.
5. Connect your phone with USB cable to your PC.
6. In ODIN, you should see a COM port with yellow background.
7. Click the PDA button ONLY.
8. Select the kernel file you downloaded.
9. Press Start and nothing else.
10. If everything went as expected, your phone should reboot after a while with a working Recovery.
Only do the steps if you are absolutely sure. This worked for me, and I hope it gives some tips for your problem as well.

I had a similar problem, stuck at boot with Biftor v12, which happened after I tried to update SuperSU binary through CWM/TWRP. I don't know why it stuck at boot and why it wouldn't reboot to Recovery. Download mode was still working, so I had no choice but to flash new kernel through ODIN and see if it works.
So if your symptoms sound similar to mine, here's what I did to be able to boot again:
I REPEAT, SIMILAR TO MINE. MY SOLUTION MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY APPLY TO YOURS.
1. Download a suitable kernel in tar.md5 format. I used PhilZ-cwm6 v4.93.6 for XWLSN firmware (see OP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270)
2. Download ODIN, if you don't have it, found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539

Hi Flash-IS-Bright
I have the exact same problem with SuperSU on my rooted Galaxy S2. I updated the SuperSU app, and when I opened it, it recommended me to update the binary, I selected the CWM/TWRP option and then my phone tried to reboot but is now stuck. It can only access download mode.
In doing the process above, you only flashed the kernel? Did this totally work? And all your apps/messages were left intact on your phone?
Any help is appreciated.

when ur updating the binary u should always choose the 'Normal' thing instead of the 'CWM/TWRP' one ma8
if u flash a kernel it will not delete anything on ur phone, all u have to do is to select the right kernel like 'Philz' for example (if ur on a stock JB firmware) and flash the same through 'ODIN' and reboot ur phone

Thanks for your help. I've originally had Jeboo 1.2 kernel on my phone and tried to reflash that again through Odin. It passed, however I'm still encountering the same problem of the bootloop.
Would flashing a different kernel help? I'm on stock JB firmware but with a Jeboo kernel. I am happy to try another kernel (if that would not brick my phone)
Do you have any other suggestions to help me solve this?
Again thanks for your help

You could try flashing hawkerpaul's kernel wiper first and then install another stock kernel like PhilZ or Apollo, and see if that helps.
Neat Rom lite,suddenly struck in boot loop after 1 month of operation.
Dear All,
I have installed the "I9100XWLSZ_NeatROM_Lite_v5.0.1" custom rom and after 1 month of successful usage, today suddenly the phone was dead.(probably due to autoupdates over wifi) . I tried to reboot, but didnt. Tried to restart but got stuck in the logo screen with yellow triangle.
Tried to enter recovery mode, but no use. Only download mode is possible.
Tried to flash the stock rom using odin, but no use, Nand write failed.
Can somebody help me how to come out of this situation. Shall I install a different kernal and see?
Regards,

Launcher Issue - Need Help

Hello guys
i have an android phone and i was using GO LAUNCHER on my phone.
my phone was rooted and i had Freezed System LAUNCHER using LINK2SD.
Unfortunately i forgot that the System launcher was frozen and i restored my phone from Factory Reset and ultimately it removed GO LAUNCHER.
Hence system launcher was frozen so Phone was stucked on SAMSUNG Logo.
I went into Android recovery using Power and Volume button and Wiped Data from there.
Now whenever i turn on my phone it remains Stuck on ANDROID logo...
Samsung Logo is vanished now......
Kindly help me on this issue....
I think there could be 2 solutions only
1. Install new launcher, which seems difficult as phone is stucked on Logo,
2. Flash using ROM, but i can't find Rom for my device....
Kindly help me or advice....
My phone specifications are below
Samsung GT i9500 (Copy)
Processor is MTK 6575
Android 4.2.2
CPU TYPE:6575
Hardware version:CB00
Software version:E201
If you are able to go DOWNLOAD MODE (Power+Volume Down).
Then FLASH a Official Stock Firmware zip file using ODIN v1.85
Done

Don't get messed up by reading in hurry. If you are a beginner then Read instructions carefully and make sure you download the file your phone model only. Or else your device will be bricked.
Good luck mate :thumbup:

Oooh I don't have much knowledge on all that, like different based processor. I told you my recommendations, to what my knowledge recommends.
Make sure you search and get working Firmware for your device.
Try to ask in your device section on Xda.
They will migrate you to right path.
After getting, flash and all will be fine.
