on download mode i got this:

I had a s3 which had emmc problems, not too sure but as long as you have product name and access to recovery and download mode you can try and flash the firmware again using odin. I am not sure as mine had no recovery mode at all.... somone with more knowledge may wish to clear things up for both of us. You can find some guide on how to flash to stock and flash stock firmware.

[Q] Downloaded KG5, Odin can't see .tar file?

Hi, I've decided to update the fw and have never used Odin before, I am following Intratech's instrutions and have pressed the pda button to find the .tar file but in file I downloaded (from Samfirmware ) doesn't seem to have .tar file?
What should the pda file be labeled as?

Looks like you have un-zipped the tar.

So am I not meant to unzip the winrar archive and just select it for pda, phone and CSC?
Just to point out that there are no .tar archives
Check the file extension on the zip, should be a .tar
Best to remove winrar and install 7-zip, it shows proper filename extensions.

I tried to flash Jellyblast v3 custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Y s5360l but its stuck at boot now. i have Odin downloaded and i downloaded the necessary files from hotfile to flash the stock ROM back on my phone but when i click PDA on odin and search for the file, it is not appearing. Help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and i dont know if i have the latest firmware-I got this phone on Christmas 2012, but does that make a difference? The files are just not appearing with Odin. Thank You.

No thanks, i got it fixed. Thanks for asking.:good:
I am having the same problem of my file clearly being located and visible in the location I want when viewing via Windows Explorer. Yet when I go into ODIN, the file doesn't show as an option. In the attached screenshot, ODIN shows me that there isn't ONE single file from this location that is usable via the PDA option?? Please help as this is really perplexing me.
Thanks!!

[How To] Recover from a soft brick GS2

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

[Q] Phone won't turn on after repartitioning

Using Odin, I accidentally repartitioned my phone and didn't flash anything else besides the PIT file. What do I do? My phone doesn't turn on when plugged into the computer or the wall outlet. Is there anything I can do?
My phone is pretty much done, isn't it?
What the hell.... Anyways.... Pit always repartitions your phone. Did you flash anything after that? Details are lacking.
You can't get back into download mode to reflash?

No, because I wasn't able to use the phone at all after. The phone is dead. It won't do anything. There is no sign of life. I repartitioned it with a pit file and hit start. After that, the phone wouldn't work at all.
Because.... you need to follow steps and read.
You need to start over.... Odin the pit... then follow the steps and odin the rom you want to flash. Your phone isn't gone... yet.

But will this work even though Odin can't see my phone, since my phone acts as if there's no battery? It doesn't function at all. So when I plug it in, nothing happens and Odin never sees my phone.
Actually, my phone is responding all of a sudden, so now I'm flashing my phone with Odin.
Why is Odin stuck at this part of the flash?

You have to redo it... Sometimes it doesn't completely flash the first time.

What did you do? I have the same problem. It didnt response at all.
you could also try something totally different and try heimdall with a different usb port, if that doesn't work then I'm definitely not sure what else you could try.
did you leave your battery in when you went into download mode to flash the stock rom? if you did, take the battery out, hook up the cable to a usb port hold down the - volume button along with the power button and it should boot into download mode

[Q] Help with bricked i9300

I was recently changing custom roms on my i9300 and think i formatted the wrong option. Now when I turn on my phone it gets as far as the start up screen, then goes off and just continues to repeat. I have trawled the web and tried a couple PIT and PDA's but no joy as of yet. I can boot it into download mode. Any help would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Hey untick repartition then flash
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Did it help when flashed without re-partition checked?
Why do you need a PIT file? Where did you get it?
Repartitioning could be extremely dangerous.
try odin version 3.04 without the PIT file, if you get NAND write start just wait about 5-6 mins, if it stays where it is come here again.
IF you can, try rooting it with CF AUto root then flash a recovery. THen put a ROM on your external SD card and flash it via recovery and see if it boots.
Very sorry for the delay in reply. Its been bloody hectic!
I tried both of those suggestions Mr Mirage.
The first one i got the NAND write start, and the same on the second. It also got stuck on NAND write start
