Hello guys,
My phone hard bricked when I was trying to install a factory room, I accidentally moved all my files including system to my sd card and after that I was unable to start my cellphone and when I tried to reinstall the room something went wrong and now I can't access the download screen.
I want to know if there's anyway to solve this without a jig.
I saw this post and I think it can be the answer but it seems that no one has ever made a brick recovery image to the model of my cellphone.

Thanks for the attention!
Well i have a issue. after a fail flash. odin just get stuck at the preloader.img . tried a lot of versions of odin. non of help. even on win 10 or win 7. don't what to do...
Our device is fairly new, I doubt you will find extensive tutorials. I would give it probably a year (Nov 2017)
Exactly the same happened to me right now.
I was flashing SM-G532MUBU1APIG_CL9364647 and after Odin said PASS!
It won't do absolutely anything.
Did anyone manage to make the debrick.img?

Hello,
I reciently rooted my samsung galaxy s2. I tried a few roms so i could get used to the system or restoring etc. However i encountered a problem whilst having a peek at an alpha jellybean rom, where i noticed that my CWM app on the phone had vanished? I attempted the restore using the 3 button combo and found that i kept recieveing E: can't mount/ E: can't cache messages whilst on the restore screen. i could find my latest restore on my sd card however it wouldnt restore. I believe the CWM was removed from my phone which caused it to not work. I was then stuck in a bootloop. no matter what i done, boot to a stock rom via odin, try the different CF roms i and try to put CWM back on to the phone? I read a post on here from someone who had the same problem, who was told it looked as though there is a problem with the partitions. i followed a tutorial and used odin to put Latona 20110114.pit on the phone. it said i would get a blank screen once this has done and i needed to remove then place the battery back in the phone then put it into download again. This didnt happen!! I done as instructed and now my phone wont go into recovery mode, download mode or even boot loop. I fear i have completely bricked my phone so i am trying to use oneclick heimdall to sort it however my PC keeps saying i need admin rights to install it which i have.
Can someone please help me out. I am new to this so please go easy on me.
many thanks
If you have no signs of life from the phone, it's probably cactus.
You might as well try a jig (but unlikely to work; still try one tho). Only option is service centre & hope they can't tell/don't care you've been messing with it & fix it under warranty or JTAG repair by a 3rd party repairer, at your cost obviously; will be cheaper than having Samsung/an authorised repairer fix it if they refuse warranty service which they're quite within their rights to do.

First result of searching suggests that's meant for the I9003. Good job.

Hello,
Awe well then. never mind eh, whats done is done! Its totally bricked so i thought i would chance my luck by sending it back to O2 for repair. I was reading the only other way to get the phone running again was to take it to bits and hook it up for some stock flashing. so heres hopping they sort it!
lesson learnt!!!
Okay, So I am as NOOB as NOOB can be,
I got a used SGS2 (Bell/Virgin), I am on Telus so I figured, how hard can it be to unlock it instead of paying some dude to do it for me? (First mistake, and have been humbled every step of the way since!...)
Anyway I will try to keep this relatively short (it will be difficult)... ...I read a few things online and saw that I needed ODIN and a Rooting software, I originally used SuperOneClick, and to download the right insecure kernel to match my original one etc... ...problem is I obviously didn't read nearly enough when I started because I was almost done and then there was a hiccup when SuperOneClick said that I needed to enable SU in Kies. So I decided to go into Kies to try and do so but the instructions before I started Rooting said to put the phone in USB debugging mode. Apparently Kies doesn't see the phone if it is in that mode. Well by this time I can't get past the logo screen and this is where my downward spiral begins.
I then tried to unroot the phone to go back to stock but didn't really know what I was doing and then I read something about the cache needing to be wiped and then after that I read that maybe my OS was wiped. So at this point I did lots of reading (what I should have done in the first place) and most of anything useful I found was on XDA so that is why I am here. It seemed like yes, in fact my OS was wiped because of one of my not so S-M-R-T actions. So I fumbled through and found the right OS for my S2 and I had ODIN going strong and I had the OS loading, the green bar getting bigger in ODIN and the blue bar working it's way across the screen of my S2...I thought "finally!!, I rock!!"... ...then for some reason everything stopped! I had seen in a post that I had to uninstall Kies before doing anything, which I did...but I didn't see until after the fact that my anti-virus likely interfered (I didn't disable it for the process before I started).
At that point of course I was left with a phone that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So then I was afraid to try anything else because many say to steer clear of Kies and also I had read that I may need a USB jig to be able to get it back into download mode because all I was getting was the "firmware upgrade issue" screen. I did make a USB jig with a resistance of 300K Ohms and I *can* get the phone into download mode. (Though another concern is that when I plug the USB jig in and it brings the phone into download mode, the counter is not reset and I read that that was supposed to be reset by the jig.)
So last night I got brave and decided to try and run ODIN and to have another attempt at installation of OS. Now I can get ODIN to detect the phone, but I put the I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_I9100MXXLD3_HOME.tar.md5 file into the PDA section of ODIN and it starts and gets to the part where it says loading firmware or something and then bootload.bin and it stayed like that for like, an hour and then I gave up, fearing that I am just going to screw it up even more.
So now I decided that I am not even close to knowing what to do next but every time I found anything to move forward it was on this site so I figured I may as well join the site since I have been here so often. Now I am hoping for some kind of miracle...so, in advance, please please please and thank you thank you thank you all for your input. (Sorry for the length of this I just wanted to get all the info I could into this)
Its quite a long story and didnt bother reading it.
If you can still access your phone via odin at downloadmode. Flash a stock firmware for your device and it should fix if it is just a soft brick.

Sorry for the length of the story, I thought there may be alot of useful info mixed in with the useless info... ...when you say use stock firmware do you mean the kernel or the actual OS? I tried loading ICS onto it (which I thought was stock but I may be wrong). Is it supposed to be gingerbread or something else? Also where would I find a good file for it.
Thank you again for any input, very much appreciated!
Hey ,
I also have a Virgin Samsung S2 i9100 and the first time I tried rooting it, it got stuck on the screen with the yellow triangle and wouldnt move at all. I believe it was bricked?
anyways, I m not sure I totally understand your situation, but I solved my problem using this thread

Thank you all so much for your help, I could not get it to work after several tries, I even tried three or 4 different USB cables and ports on my PC and still no. I read on another thread that one person tried another PC and it worked so I tried my friend's laptop and it worked!...my SGS2 boots up and all that now! Very very happy thank you all.
Ather reading up a lot of years on xda, and able to fix a lot of things (Thanks!) i finally screwed up
Got a Galaxy S2/gt-i9100 from friend and it got stuck in a bootloop (no special cause, just got into it after a dead battery/reboot), (no recovery, just download mode)
Main problem was with flashing new/custom/stock bootloaders/firmwire/kernels Odin just wouldnt let me finish, and mostly got stuck at Nand write fail. (is this indication that internal memory is screwed, no flashing would work at all, or did i had an option?)
So i took the step to thick the repartition (Firmwire from sammmobile and pit file from droidevelopers) and hoped for the best.. after about 5 minutes i was pretty sure it got stuck again and disconnected tried to reboot and was going to try again..
now a black screen and not responding to anything -_-'
And i would like to know if a USB Jig could get it back into download mode or is the last resort to find a JTAG guy around? (can i verify if memory is really dead somehow?) Or any other options out there?
Unplugging during an Odin flash? That's nasty. 99.9% sure that'll be a new motherboard/jtag sorry. Last chance is to click my signature & look at the part for 'no download mode'... I pretty much guarantee it won't work though :/

Hi there,
I've been a long term follower of XDA forums for awhile now, and while I never post anything I always come here for information regarding rooting, and flashing custom roms. I've never had a serious issue until now.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-1545, and I hard bricked the device trying to flash with FF. It does not boot or display anything on the screen. I've tried putting it in download mode, but I've gotten nothing out of it. I read that you can recover if someone on the same build can provide you a boot.img that's of the same build here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600869 ).
Can anyone provide me a debrick img for OF1?
Thank you in advance!
Same problem here. I just want to flash Super6 using Flashfire, but after reboot, my phone just can't turn on. I tried charging but it doesn't showed anything. I think I just hard bricked it, but I don't know the problem.
SDCard boot is not supported on of1 and therefore if you truly hard bricked and are unable to get into download mode you will have to have it repaired via jtag
I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
