Alright, I'll be brief with this...
Have stock Vibrant, OTA killed it, tried master reset, no help, tried Odin, FAILS on factoryfs.rfs, tried 4 other downloads of Odin stock rom, same problem. No SD card, no sim, nothing but phone, battery and usb.
Won't boot, won't turn on, just maybe the backlight turns on to no screen. Figured out how to get it into download mode still, but thats the only thing that I can do.
Now, is there a different ROM that I could use thats had more success? Am I doing something simple wrong? Forgetting something? Is there any help out there for this? Or is my phone just screwed?
Someone said removing the battery for about 1 or 2 minutes works
Did you try to odin the origonal stock firmware first?
Proudly pumped from my vibrating vibrant using the ubiquitous XDA App
It's been out for about 2 hours, so I'll give it a try like that....
No dice =/
Oh, didn't mention earlier, also tried the download with and without the battery, still fails at the same point.

Yeah, that's all I've been wanting to put back on, but that's the one that keeps failing on me. I', wondering if another Odin ROM might work
And I don't even get the screen anymore that is your avitar fit333

I'll go step by step with what I'm doing, just to make sure.
1-load odin
2-plug usb into phone (no battery yet)
3-hold vol up/down, insert battery (only way i can get into dl mode now)
4-select pit and tar(phone) files in odin, make sure only reboot and time are checked
5-press start and be patient, lol.
Here is my report in Odin

Hahaha, I wish. That was what I had last night, no screen since.
Oh, and I've tried the update probably 20 times today in hopes, same thing everytime
Have you got odin 1.3 and have you tried eugenes froyo that dosnt brick, its worked magic for me in the past.
Proudly pumped from my vibrating vibrant using the ubiquitous XDA App
1.3 wouldn't work or recognize my phone at all, just using v1.00 that everybody else has been saying to use for it. I'll hunt down 1.3 right now and give that a shot.
Same thing... I'll try eugenes as soon as I get home and on a good connection. Would you be able to post a quick link to the thread with the one that didn't brick for you? Thanks (^_^)
Stick a incense stick beside it, and pray for miracle.
question, did you drop in water before? friend beside me is talking about taking it apart and putting it back together might work. we both fix computers hardware and software debuging.
problems like this, might also be hardware faultyness...just hope it is not that issue...

No water damage, and I've saved phones with it before. Using my storm2 now thanks to being able to pull things apart, lol.
But I was hoping it wouldn't come back as faulty hardware, but it's seeming that way to me =( Of course, I'm already waiting on tmobile for my replacement......I'm 31 on the list, lol, who knows when I'll get that phone...

I've downloaded from 5 different sources (at least) the stock 2.1 update 1 that's going around and seems to be working for everybody. I can't find any other rom that I can use with Odin, and I can't get into recovery to try adb (even though when I could, it wouldn't let me overwrite files on the phone)
Is there any other program I could use that utilizes download mode and standard dumps that are posted all over the place? Or is there a way to take those dumps and use them with Odin?
My wife's phone bricked on the OTA
I used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803492
What seems different is the first flash (PART 1) with Original.tar I click repartition. That worked fine. Then in part two I didn't click repartition (as stated).
The download in the thread should have it all - including odin.

Hey all. There's a lot knowledgeable folks around here, so I thought I'd see if I can get some help on my problem.
I've got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510, non-branded, UEKME), that I rooted about two months ago, using the instructions found on the Android Forums (can't post a link, but ti's the basic easy way to root, using Odin3). Not a superuser, but wanted to be able to back up everything. Seemed easy enough and the rooting went fine.
Haven't done anything else to it, aside from installing a few run of the mill apps. It did auto-update a couple of times.
Was working fine, now it just got stuck on this screen with a message:
Code:
ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocol v2.1)
Reason: No Kernal
Secure Mode: Secure
Check Signature: Check
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
Waitting USB Cable...
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Apparently, it went to this screen while I was away. I didn't see it until I picked it up and there it was. It comes to this screen after the Samsung title screen (not the animation) and a VERY quick screen with some red writing (goes by too fast to see what it says).
I tried to follow the original instructions again. Put the tab in download mode (power + volume down), open Odin3, select the md5, and hit start. Get a FAIL with this message:
Code:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

The screen on the tab updates with this:
Code:

DownloadPartition_odin: Error to WritePartition![err:0x30000]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0x30000]
That's as far as I've gotten. I noticed the Re-Partition option is not checked in Odin3, and the errors on the tab have to do with partitions... but didn't want to do that if I could eff it up even more.
I'm also wondering if one of the auto-updates didn't muck up the works. Maybe messed with my bootloader? Again, didn't want to go doing dangerous things without some reassurance. Also, I can't get into recovery mode; it just kinda flashes when I hit the button and stays on the option screen for download/recovery.
Any direction on how to proceed?
Any advice would be so great. It's been like this for about a week and I can't find any help. Thanks everyone.
TL;DR: Stuck in Download Mode, get errors on re-root.
This helped me and I've seen it help many others too in similar situations. Since you're stuck in download mode already it might need to be adjusted and followed from somewhere other than the beginning.
Goto http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
Towards the bottom of the guide There is a section called Restocking yer system.
Follow that on down.
Make sure you use the files for you device (7500 or 7510).
Make sure you triple check that you follow everything as suggested. The most common one I see missed is the last step of doing a Wipe data/factory reset.
Let us know how it goes, as this keeps us trying to help when we know we're successful.

You have an incomplete bootsector the bootloader is broken but ofcourse your recovery is safe. Just flash a stock firmware on top of it, or flash CWM. You don't have to worry about the options being checked as Odin 1.83 onwards fixes this issue.
Well, I was really hopeful when I read your response and read through the guide, but alas, I still got the FAIL when running Odin.
Aside from the rom, what else is there? I know of bootloaders, but not their function or how they work, and undersstand that loading the incorrect one (or incorrectly) can really make my tab a brick.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help so far, maybe we can get this thing working. It's a shame - I've only had it for a couple of months...
Is there any other way to flash my firmware and/or repair my bootsector/bootloader?
Thanks for your help.

If you followed what I posted, and triple checked every step and check box in the guide was exactly what you did, then I'm lost for other suggestions. Misledz is on a different time than here, so you can either try my process again, if that's what you used, making sure you do evrything as said in the restocking yer system guide on down or wait for more help.
Yeah, I was hoping because it was a really well written guide with links to the correct files right there that I'd have some luck. The directions are pretty straightforward, so I don't think I missed anything, but I can certainly try again.
Thanks, I'll update in a bit.
I think I'm going to have to wait to see if Misledz has any other suggestions - I just tried it again and got the same fail.

Sorry that sucks.
Hope Misledz or someone comes along for you.
Best of luck.
Edit: Looking at the Odin repartition error makes me think it may be a full hardware failure issue. But there is still hope with the right files or method for it to be fixed.
I can't find it, but there was another thread here with the same "Reason: No Kernal" error and I think it turned out to be a hardware failure.
Sorry well yeah I've been on offset timezone's and I tend to check this section regularly as I hope to learn more about the tablet In hopes I can get some development done on it.
In the sense I'll assure you that you can't really brick the tablet as they are somewhat hard to brick via software, unless you install a firmware that isn't compatible (Like a 7500 on a 7510) or like wipe the bootloader. Put it this way anything done in download mode is safe.
Now to your query. It can't be a hardware issue because as you can see the tablet itself boots perfectly to Odin.
I would suggest skipping the v4 of CWM and flash the v5
[http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv]
and
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=15
Normally errors like this occur only because of cases like ramdisk being different. One is the 5.1 and the other is the 5.5 version, I suggest it's best to try both. I feel you will have better luck testing both. No worries they are both safe and the 4.0.4 has some issues as far as some tablet's are concerned.

I notice the second file is in a p7500 directory. I'm guessing this is an all-encompassing directory with p7500 and 7510 files?
EDIT: I see that the file is for all versions (75xx). Thanks.
I'm at work now, but I'll try it when I get home and give an update.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
*fingers crossed*
Dammit. No luck.
Did you already tried flashing with a pit file?
Flash with pit will rebuild your partitions.
When loading pit file repartition will automaticaly be select.
Do not repartion without pit file or your device will become abrick.
After flash with pit file you will see a lot of errors this is normal
And will be fixed after factory reset.
Good luck.

I've used the pit file and tar file from the guide that Benzoman directed me to. I also tried using the updated CWMs that were suggested (although a pit file wasn't included).
I had installed the windows drivers a while back, but just installed the Kies. Interestingly, after that, I tried flashing again and, although it still failed, it took a lot longer (as opposed to almost instantly). Almost thought I had it for a second...
Am I right in thinking that I can use the pit file from the guide and the tar file from CWM together?
Slightly off-topic; what's the purpose of flashing a bootloader? That's one thing I haven't tried yet.
Thank you for your continued help. I would have lost all hope by now if it weren't for you and this forum.
So is it all good? I don't tend to like leaving people who need help Especially when it's also educational for me.
Flashing a bootloader wouldn't be advisable cause it may really brick the tab.
You don't really need to pit file as it is used for repartioning, flashing just the PDA is good enough
Misledz said:

No, it's still stuck. It seems like any pit file I try doesn't work, which was why I was asking about the bootloaders (I know it's dangerous, but for all intents and purposes, it's already bricked).
I don't know what else to do; I was hoping the updated CWM would help, but it runs into the same problem the other pda files have. I'd be more than happy to try any other suggestions you may have.
Thanks again.
I don't know if it's any help, but I was able to capture the really quick flash of red text as it boots. See attachment.

Greetings.
I know this forum can get quite annoyed with posts being repeated and the same question being asked many times over.
I would just like to say that I have searched this forum for the problem I have, however either the posts are beyond my knowledge or not directly related to my issues. If I have missed something please let me know.
First things first. My phone.
I have an International Samsung Galaxy S3
It is running Stock JellyBean 4.1.1 (O2 UK)
It has been rooted with Odin. (I only rooted because I wanted to use Titanium Backup). It has been rooted successfully for about 3 weeks.
I wish I could give the exact firmware and other figures but I can't access them on my phone.
The Problem
Today whilst working at my desk I decide to check my phone but when I look at it there is a message being displayed that states "Encryption Failed". There is some text saying that I need to factory reset my phone and then, below that is a reset button. I press the reset button, the phone reboots to exactly the same screen. I press it again... And again... And again.
Now it boots into CWM-based recovery. Figuring I don't want to screw this phone up further without finding out what the problem is, i restart the phone again. Now the phone just boots into the Samsung logo and then reboots and so the cycle continues.
I have no idea how this happened, it was so random and unexpected.
What should I do?
The good points
I can still get into CWM-Recovery
From reading previous posts I have downloaded Samsung toolkit but its well beyond my capabilities.
The bad points
I haven't a clue what to do
Having only just switched to android and learnt the basics about rooting, I really need some assistance with this problem.
Please, please, if there is anyone on XDA who can help point me in the right direction I would forever be grateful.

Thank you. I will look into how to do that. I've only ever rooted, never flashed any kind of ROM. I apologise for my noobness.
The one good thing about this is that I certainly will learn a lot more about my phone in a short space of time.
I will update when I have tried this.
Also will the 'backup and restore' or 'reboot recovery' in CWM be of any use?
Thanks again.

I have now opened Odin3 v1.85.
Interesting to note that the top black bar says 'Epic 4G'. I don't know if that is of any significance.
I've found the ROM which i relevant to my phone, i think (I9300XXDLIB)
Just to ask, I'm not needing to download any firmware? Different firmware versions were the major results i found when searching. I wouldn't be able to tell you what firmware I'm on, other than to say its Stock o2 UK firmware, whatever that maybe.
Thanks again for the replies.

Alright alright, let's start with some basic stuff here.
1)- Do you have a micro sd card in there? And a card reader to read/write content to it from your PC? (We can use this to flash another ROM directly from CWM).
2)- Did you enter download mode when attempting to flash with ODIN? (Powerdown + Home + Power button)?
Everyone should follow the layout of the first post when asking for help, makes it way easier for people to understand and help.

Hi,
1) Yes I have a micro SD card, which I can use to place files on from my PC.
2) Yes, I entered download mode when flashing to from Odin (The screen with the warning about installing custom software). I clicked ok, and then Odin detected my phone.
I'm currently downloading PDA:I9300XXDLIH & CSC:I9300O2UDLI3 as I'm aware the last ROM could have been the wrong one.
Any assistance would greatly appreciated.

If ODIN doesn't work after all, download Android Revolution or any other stock based ROM, place it in your external SD card, and flash it from CWM, Factory reset and that should work.

After installing TWRP restore via Goomanager (on the play store) I pressed reboot to restore. the phone rebooted to to download mode. I Pulled the battery for 40+ seconds, and pressed the power button, but whatever I do, the phone keeps booting into download mode.
Is it possible to factory reset my phone via Odin?

Yeah you can do that but dont try installing a recovery again. Im betting youre on me7, and currently its only rootable. No recovery.
When you said factory reset I thought you meant restore. But no, you cant reset via odin. You can turn your phone off and then use the key combo to boot into odin. Itll ask to confirm or deny booting and if you deny your phone will boot normally. Everytime you restart yoll have to do this so eventually youll have to restore through odin.

Did you try booting into recovery? If you get into recovery try rebooting back to system. Hopefully the phone will boot up normally. You could also do a factory reset if you do get into recovery.
I am having a similar issue -- I am stuck in download mode after attempting TWRP installation. Odin is not responding to my phone once plugged in (only says "connecting"). I am unable to enter recovery mode and am not sure what I should try next. Any suggestions?

You cant enter recovery because you overwrote the stock one and youre unable to flash/use a custom one because me7 blocked it. There might be a stock recovery posted on the forums but i havent seen one yet. I would try a different usb port, if youre using a pc a few people have had trouble with the front ports. If youre on win 7 try granting admin rights. Try a different pc. Try a different cable are some solutions.

I see -- I meant Kies was not connecting to the phone in my previous post (not odin). If I am unable to get it to respond, is the best way to restore to a stock phone using Odin?

I have never used kies so cant really say anything about that. But ya odin is best way to restore a phone to stock in my opinion. Like I said There might be an me7 stock recovery posted and that should fix your problem.

I am having trouble finding the appropriate restore .tar for my phone -- I have been looking at androidfilehost with minimal luck, but I see where other people claim to have found it.
Theyre in the dev section.

This is undoubtedly my solution as I did not do enough research before I tried to flash TWRP while running ME7. I'm a complete noob on this forum and when you say dev section, me7 stock; well, I still have no clue how to find it. I would be extremely grateful if someone could take their time and post a link. Thank you guys. Just switched back from iOS and look forward to becoming a part of the android community!

hold the power button and the down volume key and it should ask you if you want to install a custom os or not and then you just hit cancel and it will boot regularly

If you upgraded to MJ7 that link will not help you. You need to Odin a MJ7 stock. I had to do it last night problem is you will lose root. You cant flash back to anything yet if you were on MJ7.
Here is link to zip I had to use. Post #12

get out of downloading loop
I have read all the different ways to get out of a downloading loop with ME7 and none of them worked for me. however, i did find another way that did work.
if your phone boots to downloading every time you boot. I came up with this method. I can only attest that it worked for me.
1. At the downloading screen, plug your phone into your computer
2. Run Odin (I used Odin3 v3.09)
3. Uncheck auto reboot and F. Reset Time
4. Select PIT and load a .pit fil ( I used a file called "SCH-I545.pit" that I downloaded from these forums)
5. Click Start
It will fail and your Message box will look like this
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL!
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
6. Now uplug your phone from the computer and reboot.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the partition file info gets corrupted or lost and doing this either rewrites the partition info file or tells the system where to look for it. I could be wrong but it is the only thing that works for me.
good luck!
THANX!!
FIXED!!! thank you, i registered here just to say thanks for posting this. Ive been looking for hrs. and this was all I had to do the whole time. great solution for being stuck on the downloading screen with errors....thank you!!! I thought I ruined my new phone! =D lol:good:

It could be a bad tar file. I would download it again and reflash in Odin. Use the Full Wipe Method

Do you have a known good PIT file for your phone?
I wouldn't put anything into the PIT slot, flash just the .tar.md5 in the AP slot, and don't select "Re-partition".
Since it seems to be failing when trying to repartition, let's skip that (as above) and see if it's any better.

Are sure the download is good? Did you check the MD5? Maybe try downloading it again.

Things to try :
Different USB Cable
Different USB Port on PC
A Different version of Odin
Heimdall instead of Odin
Re-download the full wipe MK2
Worth a shot...

Well I'm out of ideas myself. Heimdall can be found here http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
Some have had much better luck with it from what I've seen. I'm not an expert in Odin errors just was thinking of what I'd try. You can go between MK2 and MJ7 as well, may be worth trying MJ7 full wipe, just for the hell of it.
Hopefully that works or maybe someone else here will have another idea.

Sounds dumb, and sorry if you tried already, but did you try a different usb cable? Just trying to throw something against the wall and hope it sticks.

First, everyone: asking him to check the MD5 is a waste of time. It's a .tar.md5, and ODIN verifies the MD5 when it reads it. Since ODIN isn't finding a problem, it's OK. (There's no chance whatsoever that a file could be corrupt and still have a MD5 that verifies while still being a valid tar file.)
What I would do is to go read this thread for the MK2 files.
Given what you're seeing, try the emergency recovery. Download the .PIT file from there (remember me asking about that?) and use that when flashing the full-wipe file in ODIN.
This might sound crazy, but are you using the samsung OEM USB cable when your trying to odin? I had the note 2 before getting this phone and every time I used oden with a 3rd party USB cable, I always ran into problems. I always had to use the OEM cable. Also, if it's bootlooping or hanging at the boot screen, you should be able to get it working again. The only time you worry is if it doesn't do anything at all. When you said you can't get into safestrap, what about the stock recovery?
