CM7 Help!

So this was my first time with CM7 and I followed all the steps but I'm having problems. When I get to installing the .tar file in as pda through odin, I made sure of unchecking auto reboot but after I hit start as it gets to the zImage it justs stops. The bar doesn't fill green in odin, nothing happens, I didn't unplug or touch a thing and my phone goes from the download mode image to a black screen. Now I've waited around 30mins now to find nothing has changed, this is the second time this event has happened since after using odin to go back to stock because I was forced to unplug my phone, bricking it in the process. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I have clockwordmod, I installed the backup through it, I'm using odin3 v1.00, but I just don't see anything wrong done in the steps. Thank you.
try 1.3 odin

You'll get help in the question section, but flash stock in Odin then restore your nandroid that you should've made

You would be better following the instructions when installing firmware ..
Remove battery for one hour charge battery .
Suggest you try flashing a stock rom via Odin .
No download mode then buy USB recovery jig .

Ppl are quick to flame!
I don't have Odin as I'm using ubuntu and heimdall.. and my nandroid restore failed.
Before you flame.. ask.. don't just make assumptions!
Fixed it.. borrowed a mate's windows pc to use Odin.

[Q] help unrooting 100 plus looking boot loader

Tried factory restore nothing works tried to unroot with the tar on xda nothing works any ideas???
Could you give some idea of your system now? You know ROM something besides you tried a factory reset. General answer with no details; use triangle away then Odin stock firmware

That is a little strange. Is your boot loader even unlocked since you're still on stock. If not you should be able to just use the supersu app to unroot

Its unlocked now would that be the reason the stock tar wasnt working before cause it wasnt unlocked before and cant I use twarp to install the stock tar or do I gotta use odin

Being unlocked won't make it fail. Also to relock you will need to use Odin. Can you link the stock image you're using?
By the way don't forget to use triangle away to reset your flash counter before locking out back up.

Did you try a factory reset? That'll get you past the boot loop.

Doesn't sound good. I'm not familiar enough with your phone to be much more help. Trying to find a pit file that'll help is very dicey. The only suggestion I have is make sure the stock rom is correct and check it's md5. Go to sammobile.com for the ROM and extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip you download using 7 zip. Use that file in PDA in odin with only auto reboot checked.
Hopefully someone who is more familiar with your phone can step in. Good luck to you.

You're not hard bricked so that's the good news. Not sure where you got the stock rom but sammobile.com has skyways worked for me. Sometimes you have to keep trying to flash it in odin. I've had cases where it took a few tries. But make sure you flash on PDA with only auto reboot checked.

If odin gets stuck then it is connected .
Reads as you need a new motherboard .
But you can try below as warranty is void /

You have now probably bricked your device you should never repartition or nand erase unless you know exactly what you are doing and I mean exactly! I am sorry to say I think your phone is not recoverable! Someone put me straight if I am wrong..
I read somewhere on xda that try to repartition by doing a nand erase. It still goes in download mode. I once bricked it before by flashing a corrupt rom wasn't downloaded completely. But it didn't give get pit for mapping error. Is it possible that pit file is missing? I flashed 4.3 from 4.1.2 it shouldn't give this error. Wht do you think is the possible cause?
