Hi,i accidenatly flashed my i9100G with the wrong kernel,Now he is stuck in bootloop,icant enter download or recovery mode, i need Help ;!
You're either not doing the correct button presses - home/power/vol down for download mode, home/power/vol up for recovery, or you're not holding the buttons for long enough.
If you genuinely can't get into either download or recovery modes, your only other option is a jig. Beyond that it's a Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop job.
But I'd be very surprised if you can't access download mode purely due to flashing an incorrect kernel. Unless you want to fess up as to exactly what it was you flashed ? Generally in those cases where you can't access those modes, the phone fails to boot at all (and these are definitely not user fixable).

I used Odin yesterday to Flash the new JI6 OTA update, after doing so it Odin said Pass but on my phone the error message read:
E:Cant mount/dev/block/stl10
I flashed stock ROM T959UJFD prior to flashing the new JI6 and went without cause. I pretty comfortable with Odin and have used it many times.
After the error the phone with boot up into the Vibrant Boot screen then go straight to Recovery. I tried rebooting and same result.
I tried Deleting all user data and same result.
I tried all the options available in recovery and still will only boot into recovery mode.
I tried plugging it into my pc and using adb to reboot into download mode but it will only reboot back to recovery.
When i have it Plugged into my pc and Odin open, Odin sees the device and opens up the COM line but won't do anything unless its in download mode.
Any help would be appreciated. "Crap now I'm one of those threads"
Ugh... I know this problem all too well. Did you click on the partition option in Odin when flashing to JI6??? If so, I hope you don't have a hardware locked phone!
Edit: Should probably elaborate a bit more.
To fix this simply get yourself into download mode manually by powering off your phone/removing battery/etc, and then power it back up while holding vol up + vol down. There are numberous methods to get into this mode unless you're hardware locked like me. Hopefull this will throw you into download mode and allow you to flash back to stock rom. If you're able to get this far simply try flashing the update again.
If you're hardware locked the only way I know of to fix the phone is either have TMO replace it with a phone that's not HW locked, or get Samsung's customer service center to give you an RMA for replacement. Either should work since what is now an official update borked your phone. I'm still waiting for my wife's phone to be returned in a hopefully non-Hw locked state. We'll see!
Good luck!
Mod close thread please, phone being replaced.
i tired to enter the CWM recovery mode few times, after i didnt success into booting the phone into the CWM recovery mode (becuase i didnt know how to enter it :S) i downloaded app called "ROM Manager" i flash the CWM recovery mode then i turn off the phone after the phone turned off it never turned on or charge
notes :
1) the phone before all this was rooted
2) i used a website to install CWM recovery mode on the phone it worked to install it but yet i cant enter it (this step is before i downloaded "ROM Manager")
Using Rom Manager was a mistake, but probably wouldn't brick your phone. It just doesn't play nice with the S2, tends to cause bootloops & break recovery.
If the phone won't boot at all, no download mode, no recovery - your only option is service centre or local mobile repair shop. Nothing you can do to fix it.
I mean, try a jig by all means, but understand this is very unlikely to get you into download mode.
Having said that, you need to be 100% sure you can't get into download mode (power/home/vol down), if it was me in your situation, I'd be trying over & over & over given the alternative.
I have a Hong Kong version Galaxy S6 Edge which I have rooted through Pingpong root. Yesterday, after I installed TWRP recovery through Flashify, the phone could not boot up with this message: "Custom binary blocked by c-rom." I then searched on-line and noted that for our version of the Edge, there is a bootloader lock which must be unlocked before any custom rom or recovery could be installed.
There are on-line solutions for "Custom binary blocked by reactivation" which basically requires the phone to be booted into download mode and install through Odin. I have tried this method but the phone did not seem to react to Odin (not sure if this is due to C-rom lock). Also this method requires removal of the battery which is not possible for Edge.

I brought the phone back to Samsung Service Centre yesterday but they simply refused to help and suggested that I replaced the motherboard for some US$350. I am sure that there is nothing wrong with the hardware and so did not accept their service plan.
I appreciate that this problem only exists in China version of the phones (see link below) which have C-Rom lock but still I I would be grateful if anyone in the forum could offer me some help here. Would be much appreciated.

Have you tried putting the phone in emergency mode and using the smartswitch recovery mode to try to fix the phone?
Thanks for your comment. As the phone cannot bypass the bootloader lock, I cannot switch it to emergency mode.
Odin works differently you have to boot into download mode by being powered off, then press power, home, volume down, then press up.
Do not connect to computer yet, open Odin, load your files, let it do its thing, then connect to computer, you will see added, then hit start.
Good luck.
As title. My phone is stuck in the emergency recovery page: use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I cannot turn the phone off, I cannot go into recovery, and I cannot go into download mode.
I attempted to root the device using kingo but it failed. It was my first time rooting a device. So my phone essentially got stuck when it restarted at the "Samsung S6 Edge: Powered by Android" black screen. I then managed to "recover" the device by using Odin and flashing a stock firmware.
So I got back into the device and tried to change the settings back to what they were before. I disabled USB debugging (Bootloader option is not available for my mode, SM-G925I).
Then...having the itchy hands I do, I checked out the security portion under settings, and I saw that there was "unauthorized changes made". The program suggested that I restart my phone so as to get rid of those changes..which I did. And since then, it has been stuck again.
I actually took a trip down to the service centre where the tech actually managed to turn the device off, and I was told that warranty was void. In any case, when I returned home I tried to flash the same stock firmware that I used earlier but ODIN failed. I redownloaded the stock firmware for 925I from a couple of places and they're all 1.5gb+; but every time I try to even load the firmware Odin just hangs and I have to end the task...
Right now, I'm attempting to use smart switch and the emergency recovery function but it has not worked the first time, at the second stage where installation actually takes place. While the phone was connected, window's kept giving the notification that the device was not recognized. I'm giving smart switch a second desperate try and this time round I'm receiving no notifications from windows (so I suppose that's a good thing..). But assuming that smartswitch does not work? What are my options considering:
1) Failed root using kingo root (one-click stuff..wish I had known better)
2) USB Debugging is not enabled
3) Unable to enter recovery mode
4) Unable to enter download mode (but a download bar appears when I attempt to use Odin at the emergency recovery page)
5) 5.1.1 android system
6) Phone is not recognized by smart switch (might be because it is in the emergency recovery mode)
Really at a loss here..I'm helpless with tech and I really should have just left well alone. Jailbreaking was so much easier...Samsung quoted me $200+ for the replacement of the motherboard of the phone, which I will probably take up if the situation is really beyond repair.
Thanks in advance..

Can you still charge it?
Use the original root file you downloaded to re flash the drive. Hope that helps it did for me.

A few months ago, I successfully rooted my SM-A105FN/DS with Magisk and Odin. I remember I had TWRP on there, but I think I flashed my phone again, therefore causing my phone to lose TWRP. I recently decided to install the TWRP recovery again, yet I installed the wrong recovery, and after flashing with Flashify and rebooting, I was met with a boot loop. I only saw the Samsung logo with the official software warning and bootloader unlock warning. This would restart constantly until I plugged in my phone, to be met with the logo stuck on the screen. I cannot enter adb, fastboot, Odin mode or recovery mode. My PC doesn't recognise it. I spoke to some Samsung support people online, and they hand no clue whatsoever. I don't want to pay for a repair (I doubt they'd repair it anyways because I have bricked it with a rom and have rooted it). Is it possible to fix it with software, and if not, how can I, and is it possible to replace it with the motherboard of another A10?
you solved that?
i have the same problem, this situation is very nerve wrecking. anyone got a fix on this one?
You cold try to wait until the battety get flat,then you hold vol + and - buttouns then plug into a computer,you should see the download mode
can you open the fastboot mode with volume down + power? it may enables the odin again
