More information is needed for people to help you.. What did you do exactly (how you tried to install etc) and what are the symptoms.

I tried flashing a kernel through CWM running on JB 4.3 stocked rooted, just got the phone a week ago. Nothing will work, no recovery, no download, I tried using Win32 disk img flasher, didn't work.

I green!

Without download mode you will need a usb jig or jtag. Sounds like you probably flashed the wrong file to get that effect, in which case you do have a hard brick.

[Q] Question about brick ?

i have a question for you guys what i have not
do for to get a cell phone brick ?
i have read many threads and the only way for to get it is by using application rom manager thats right or i can get a brick cell phone in odin software.
what if by a mistake set files in a wrong order in odin software
galaxy ace cf gingerreal v1.0 kph
thanks in advance
WHY would you put the wrong files in ODIN, just read the tutorial and follow it correctly?
And to kinda answer the question, what've read is that ODIN will not brick you phone, you might be able to get a bootloop though (just reflash and it should work fine).
Read the newbie guide(sticky thread) about Rom manager, it should be supported now but be cautious, better to use CWM app instead, or just reboot your phone to CWM (dont be lazy).
People brick their phone when unlocking their phone, there should be a proper solution that works without having to brick you phone.

What did you actually do to get your phone into its current state?
On top of that,
What model is the phone? (i9100, i9100G, i9100T, etc)
model is i9100 now its in the state total off no screen on nor working recovery or download mode i put off battery two hours
Your inability to answer simple questions leads me to suggest that you should contact Samsung. We cannot help you.

Good luck getting any more help.
You can try to get into Download mode using USB Dongle Jig.
If not, JTAG is the only way to unbrick. Unbrivk with JTAG costs about 50$ in my country. It will totaly reflashe the rom (bootloader, kernel, etc.).

[Q] Flashing failed

My luck is very bad. I failed to flash my 9100, and now I can not turn on my phone. No matter I press on which keys, the screen keeps black. And I connect it to my computer bu it can not be detected. I have tried the Counter Reset Patch to go to downloading mode, but failed. So what should I do now? If I sent it back to Samsung Service , how much will they charge me? Or If I can fix it by myself ? Who can help me? Thanks very much..
First, your luck isn't very bad, computers don't have luck, if you've bricked your device it's because you've messed something up not because you're unlucky.
Second, what exactly did you do to flash your phone? You haven't given anywhere near enough information for anyone to help you hence the lack of replies.

As far as I know I am the first. U know under almost all conditions u can fix it by downloading mode , but now I can not enter that mode. So I am unlucky.
1 tip
Try charging the battery using another mobile or external battery charger.Then connect. By my experience usb drivers of android dont easily get damaged or lost until u ruin the rom heart and soul.

What did you actually flash? Firmware, Kernel or are you trying to Root your phone?
If you can go to Download Mode then flash Stock Firmware. To be safe, charge battery to at least 70% before flashing via Odin3 v1.85. Provide more details so it would be easier for others to help....cheers

This leaked firmware had cause a lots of Hard Brick to other user not only you.

Bricked after factory reset, I can't even see CWM. Help!

So the thing is I'm using ROOTBOX ICS rom, and because I'm willing to gift my phone to a cousin I did a Factory Reset, then my phone turn off and when it tries to wake up, after Samsung logo, it makes like a blink on the screen... every 3 seconds.
I can't enter CWM Recovery using VolUp+Menu+Power, however I can enter Download Mode using VolDown+Menu+Power.
So guys, give me a solution here please.
Thank you so much.

If you don't want to flash a stock ROM, root, and flash a custom ROM again, you can use one of odin flashable files for custom kernels, not all have one but you can check (Dorimanx for example)

Brick after simlock

Hi ive just got message from my friend asking if i could help his friend with takeing back to life his galaxy s2.
As i know he tried to remove simlock, but after this he brick his phone. I know that is hard to know what is wrong from this small description, but i know that he "broke his galaxy s2"
He is getting on phone:
Step 1

You have busybox problem, fix it or if you have plugged your phone on ypur computer, unplug it

Or similar. Im third, so there can be some mistakes.
Its sth with busybox, but i dont know what.
Maybe we need only to install busybox or reflash soft? Or its permanent and only service helps?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
unfortunately you have given little and vague information.
What rom is he running ?
Can he getinto recovery or download mode ?
If he can get into one of these 2 modes, then a simple reflash may solve the problem.
If he cannot get into these modes, then you may need to send it in for repair.
He didn't mess with the EFS folder, did he?

I dont know to much too.
He is using stock ics firmware as "normal" user.
And u gave me an answer that firmware reflash can hel. Thanks. We will try it
EDIT: Ok friends friend dont want to wait and gave device to service paying 60pln (~15€, ~20$) for reflash and it helped.
