I flashed stock firmware via NetOdin trying to get it out of retail mode that the owner had mistakenly put it in. The result on NetOdin was success 1, fail 0, but ever since then it has been stuck in download mode. It will not even reboot, pressing and holding the power button only turns off the screen and goes back to download mode (normal download mode, not wifi download mode). I've tried multiple computers and none of them will even recognize the device. Again, i cant get it to do anything other than download mode, no recovery menu even. I'm at my wit's end, but i figured I'd ask here before i threw in the towel and gave it back to the owner. Any help would be much appreciated!
I seem to have the same issue but I did not flash the firmware mine is completely stock.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, then plugging the charger into the computer and THEN the gear?
anyone have any luck fixing this issue? mine is also stuck in the download mode after flashing it with Odin..... It was stuck in retail...
thanks
It was stuck in retail

You mean you have Live Demo Unit Device... Not For Sale...
And what you mean with Odin?
netOdin or you really connected wires to have USB cable? To use ODIN...
Which Firmware you flashed??
You have SM-R360 or R365 or something like this?
Check Odin Mode...
Best Regards

Yes, when you turn it on, it said retail demo unit. I bought it from someone on facebook and they blocked me....
I followed the steps here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123
Now it just says "downloading... do not turn off device"
And you have SM-R360?
And flashed correct Firmware?

Or.
Maybe you need first Combination Firmware:

Odin mode Fit2 Pro (normal download mode, not wifi download mode)
how to flash my fit2pro that is in OdinMode, and not in Wifi Download Mode, by means of the charger I could not, there is some other way, because it does not allow to enter in another way.
Anyone solve this issue?
Main problem I guess was buying a Samsung product but I'd like to attempt to fix it before throwing it out.
My Gear Fit 2 is completely stock also

Guide: How to fix a bricked SGSII from failed flash, no recovery & no usb recogntion
Now Fixed. - Thanks: Below is the guide to how I broke and fixed it with a little help from my XDA Friends. Maybe the MODS could sticky it as a unbrick guide to go alongside the rest?
So I was flashing a ROM through Odin as per the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
The flash failed and when I restarted my phone I was left with the following:
1)No Access to Recovery Mode through Vol Up + Home + Power
2)Access to Download Mode through Vol Dwn + Home + Power
3)PC would recognise a device was connected on any USB port but kies or Odin Could not detect the phone
4)when phone started or attempted to be put into rec mode just a splash screen saying firmware upgrade failed and a picture of a phone and pc with a yellow warning triangle.
The Cure:
1)Uninistal and Re-Install Kies and Samsung Mobile Device Driver
2)Pureley by accident left my phone connected on flash screen of death through the process and on loading ODIN it connected perfectly right away
3)Set PDA to ROM and flashed.
4)Reflashed as per normal routine again due to boot loop this time in download mode.
5)Factory Reset via Recovery Mode to force CSC update to match ROM
6)*When it arrives use USB jig to re-set flash counter to 0*
Step 2 is not advised as goes against what all the instructions say, please try download mode before this method I don't know if it was just luck I didn't further mess up the phone, but to be honest bar screwing my IMEI it couldn't get much worse! And as I said I found it by accident and it worked. Don't know if anyone has an explanation. From the message on the screen and what I read on Kies ref the emergency recovery I think this is a kind of emergency download mode for when stuff goes wrong as it hints kies can fix it from this screen.
I tried to flash the 02 2.3.5 file from the carrier branded thread, followed all instructions. File was a .tar.md5 i left as is as per instructions.
the flash failed when the phone powers up i get upgrade failed, I can get to download mode but odin doesn't recognise the phone as being connected ive tried multiple usb ports
kies also wont recognise it
i cant access recovery mode
is there any way back?
ive read most of the other posts but don't seem to be getting anywhere other than fustrated!
In kies there's an option to install drivers, try that first and see if it'll find the phone again.
kies
no joy that root, the pc knows its there as every port i plug into it wants to install drivers for device and does so
Remove Samsung Kies from phone and reinstall it and try again .
jje
Cheers will report back, what i don't get is why i cant get to recovery mode would make things easier! Can a jig do this? If i try i just get the failed update screen
I also get same. Screeb when plugged into charger does thos mean its not even charging?

I really wish I saw this 2 weeks ago
Its stuck in the warranty repair centre, I dont expect it to be fixed, so will try this soon when it comes back !
Lol i spent ages reading multiple posts about bricked phones nothing seemed to be working do asked, someone suggested the kies reinstall, then by accident i deviated slightly from instructions in terms of not disconnecting phone and leaving it on brick screen and it happened to work
Alot of people flame for posters asking previous questions but these guys were really helpful to me.
Ask and xda will provide

this just happened to me..luckily sprint gave me a new phone after 2 days for no charge at all..
Odin was not recognizing my phone... than I followed your instructions and unninstaled kies and samsung usb drivers.
turned usb debbuging mode ON...
turn off phone
put the phone in download mode (hold volUP, home, power)
AND WHEN I INSTALLED KIES WITH THE USB PLUGGED IN THE PHONE, WINDOWS INSTALLED THE DRIVERS AND I FLASHED THE FIRMWARE I WANNED WITH ODIN

On that screen, the phone is effectively in Download Mode already.
Just connect Odin and flash away, did it on my phone a lot of times already (I sometimes forcefully enable this screen manually - don't ask why - and always flashed directely from there.)
Thanks for that i didnt realise till after I'd flashed that this was still download mode, i was still in flappy panic "dude i bust my phone " mode. Still trying to find out why windows ****s up the drivers when the flash bins out

Long story short. Was on a custom rom. Factory Reset. Buggered everything up.
I can't get into recovery mode. And my download mode isn't working.
The original boot logo doesn't appear (with the triangle) -- it just goes STRAIGHT into download mode -- and Odin isn't recognizing the phone.
Would love for you guys to try and figure this one out lol
Have you used odin before perhaps the pc is missing the drivers?

Yes. My buddy beside me has Odin on his computer working -- tested it on his SGS and it works fine.
When mine is in download mode, it doesn't recognize it. Nothing happens. The initial boot logo doesn't even appear -- which is incredibly strange. It just goes STRAIGHT into download mode and ODIN doesn't recognize the phone (no "added" thing appears)
I do believe this is bricked. Recovery doesn't work at all either. And if I turn the phone on and press the home button a few times -- the entire screen flashes white and black over and over.
I guess last resort is a USB jig ?

u need to download the lastest KIES version then plug your phone to your PC/LAPTOP, then update DRIVERS and KIES FIRMWARE to the latest version, before u open ODIN u need to close KIES, then disable temporary anti-virus/anti-malware and run ODIN with ADMIN previledge, and your phone will detect ODIN, as long as you can go to DOWNLOAD MODE or RECOVERY MODE

I am not sure it's the drivers. Why? Because my friend who works beside me has the drivers installed. He put his phone (exact same phone) into download mode and it connected fine. This means his drivers work.
It would do nothing when i connected while in download mode.
the jig is the last resort.
If the jig doesn't work, is it possible I am the first ever to brick a phone galaxy phone?

You're not the first nor the last to brick this phone.
USB jig isn't likely to help since it's used to force the device into download mode. Try to find a JTAG service in your area.

Try Odin v3.07
Hello folks,
I've a friend who's not a Technical person, however, he tried what he shouldn't have and now he has a totally dead S2.
The problems:
1. Phone doesn't switch on, nor does it goes to download or recovery mode - I tried it all.
2. When I connect a charger or usb - It does start showing the battery icon and while connected to the cable, if I turn it on it stays at the Samsung logo forever.
3. Since I don't know how to even get it to download mode, I'm unable to go any further.
What he did:
1. Trying to upgrade to JB, I think he messed up with the kernel by uploading one which may not be compatible as I've heard S2 has different variants. (He loaded Siyah 4.2)
2. Before doing this, he had connected to ODIN and was trying to load the official JB file but it always got stuck on one of the steps and that's when his phone got a bit sick - it would show "Please connect to KIES and try a recovery" kind of message. And this led him to do Step 1, which he shouldn't have.
I read a lot of posts, tried a lot of things but the phone never goes to download mode. And I've no clue how to try anything else?
So experts, I need your help here and I want to know if this phone will start at all? Can we somehow get it to work? If not at home, can the people at Samsung flash it or something?
Please help. Lots of thanks already!

try this method
if u have any mini usb cable cut it and peel of the skin and short the the 4th and 5th pin with 300k resistor or 100k*3 resistor and connect to mobile u will directly goto the download mode remove this pin and connect pc in odin mode and flash first with ics rom and if it is success and then try jelly bean try good luck
I have the same problem.
Today i tried fixing a bricked galaxy s2(yellow triangle with exclamation mark on boot) by reinstalling the stock firmware with odin and a pit file.
During the install i got stuck at NAND write start.So i took the battery out to get out of download mode and put it back in.When i tried going to download mode,it wouldn't start,charge,boot,anything!it's like it's completly dead.
Is there any other way to go to download mode without using a JIG?

Sorry to say this mate......you shoulda read some threads.....
If you had, you'd have realised.....
1) you start messing with pit files as a LAST resort
2) you NEVER pull a battery during an odin flash
3) when you saw the failure of 'nand write start' there was still the possibility to recover your phone....right up to the point when you pulled the battery.......
So now you have no recovery mode, no download mode and no on screen indication when you plug the charger in.....
Don't bother with the jig.....it's a long shot under the best of circumstances.....
There Is one thing you could try.....
Take the battery out. Press the vol down, power and home keys simultaneously......and WHILE holding the keys.....reinsert the battery....you will probably need help to do it.
It *might* kickstart the phone into download mode.....or.......it might not.
If it fails.....then Samsung warranty repair is realistically your only option.....Don't mention XDA or rooting or custom roms or odin or anything like that. Play dumb....say you were updating with kies, the phone switched off and wouldn't turn on again.......

Thanks for you answer!Will a JTAG work?If i can find one?The phone is off the warranty.
The way I see it is that at the moment, you own a paperweight.....so best to *try* the cheaper options first....jtagging being the cheapest......
If that doesn't sort it....you have 2 options.....
1) replace the mainboard
2) buy an entirely new phone.....
Basically whichever option you choose from now on will have *some* financial cost........

A 3rd option is to buy a 2nd hand phone with maybe a cracked screen,and use the board from that.

Had this same problem recently. What I did was try to put it in download mode again by holding the up and down volume keys and plugging in the cable, it would show up as the icon as you mentioned but the computer would recognize it to be in download mode. I would then use odin like normal. Are you sure you are using the correct .pit and .pda file just in case?

Tried endless guides and instructions with stock ROM's and firmwares. Some of them installed some didnt - none worked. Still in endless loop.
Gave up yesterday and went to bed to keep trying today.
Now its totally bricked.

- cant connect to PC via USB (Odin wont recoqnize)
The only sign of life - whatever I do it has black screen with backlight on but nothing else.
What can I do? They say that a broken phone is only with hardware problems but could I have f**** up the software so much that its the same?

You can try this guide by @SuperMini to force open Download Mode from odin. Here is the link,
How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy Ace
Make sure to use the key combination of Download Mode for your device as the one mentioned in the guide is for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830. If that doesn't work, then you can try the USB Jig (not always guaranteed to work). If USB Jig did work, then it will force open the Download Mode so you can flash stock rom back using odin. If USB Jig doesn't work either, then your last option is to consult the Service Center. Do post the result. Hope I Helped

1. make sure you have installed drivers on your computer
2. remove battery > connect phone to computer > press volume buttons and lock key
3. if you get a black screen just press the volume up button.
odin will recognize the device
if this does not work then try multi-formatter
using it, format rfs partition and then install some custom rom.
