Hi all,
Firstly, I apologise if this is the wrong forum to post this question but with so many forums it's very hard to know which is the right one! I hope I've found it.
I've been reading around and researched how to root my Galaxy S II. In the Phone --> About my phone is 2.6.35.7-I9100 BVKG3-CL344296 so I downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG3-v4.1-CWM4.zip which appears to be the right kernel for what I'm doing. I've downloaded Odin v1.85 and launched the phone in download mode.
All seemed to be going well and Odin saw the phone. I put the above file in the PDA section and left all the check boxes alone. I pressed Start and the little green bar got bigger with 'KERNEL' in the text box above. I got the following in the message area:
<ID:0/004> Added!!

The phone rebooted and now it is stuck on the very first screen with the yellow warning sign. I have tried to put the stock kernel back on, Kernel_I9100BVKG3.TAR, but it makes no difference. The phone is currently bricked.
Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Richard.
Did you put the .ZIP file into the PDA section?
You have to extract the .ZIP, so you get a .tar file, it's that .tar file you need to put into the PDA section.
Put your phone into download mode and try flashing said .tar file with Odin again.
Thanks for the reply, HellcatDroid.
I actually managed to figure out what was going on following that post. I had a sneaking suspicion that the USB ports on my computer weren't acting right so I tried flashing the phone again on one of my laptops and it worked straight away.
Just goes to show that you can research all the likely causes and outcomes and ultimately find out that it's something that you really wouldn't expect normally.
I appreciate your offer of help, though.

I think you have put clockworkmodmod on the phone and a custom kernel, that is why a yellow triangle shows up. I suggest that you should put the phone into recovery mode. It is the same key actions as download mode but you press the up volume button instead of the down button.When you have that up and running you will have options to install file from sdcard, mount, wipe delvik cache and other things. If you have this, in orange colour, then pull your battery out to switch off phone.
Your phone is not bricked.
It depends which country you live in to download the correct system.
Get back on here with the info and I will progress with you.

You're sure you have an i9100G? (check model number on the label under the battery)
Also,
1. provide a link to whatever you are trying to flash.
2. make sure you have the usb cable plugged directly into a main port on the computer. Not through a hub, or a port on a keyboard or monitor, etc.

and i cannot provide u link cuz i have like tried many thing i cud find on the net but i have also tried (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458) guide the G version also but as it get stuck nothing happen the phone only show downloading and there is no progress bar (the blue line that increase as the software gets installs) and my odin status is as i mention before (chache.img).i took it to the local technician but sum says there are 50-50% chances as while installing the phone is heating up and if they force it the ic might burn and sum say the hardware is short circuit. (if the hardware is short circuit will my phone be able to get into download mode as it does?)

Bricking your phone is Android's way of telling you to get a Nokia. You're like the dodo - weak, fat, and underevolved. It's only a matter of time before you did something to brick your phone and when you did, just like the dodo, you will die out. It's the circle of life my friend, deal with it.
Indeed, like the Lemmings, you will be laughed at for years by subsequent users of Android. I saw "so i removed the battery" and laughed, laughed my way into a blissfull state of euphoria which only the cries of nature's rejects can elicit.
My Galaxy S2 I9100G is not powering on and is not charging anymore , even if insert a full battery inside the phone it will not power on , no access to download mode either .
any suggestion please , is my phone completely dead or there is something maybe that could revive it .
thanks alot in advance

Hello everybody!
First of all, I'm not sure about my english skills...please have mercy on me :fingers-crossed:
Here I go:
I got my S3 in August/Sept with a T-Mobile Branding. My first action was getting it rootet and flashed with an official Samsung Rom just to get rid of the branding.
Two days ago I woke up to my charging S3 only showing the "Samsung..." Bootlogo. Removed the battery, nothing changed. Tried the Volume up-HomeButton-PowerButton Combo and it only resulted in a blinking logo (the logo disappears for a few seconds). The only thing I have access to is the Download-Mode.
What I tried since then:
Flashing a new one-part-rom with Odin, this was the result:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

Same with a three-part-rom.
Then I tried to downgrade the bootloader with ADB. But I don't get the drivers (Universal-Naked-Drivers) running. The S3 shows up as "unknown device" at the device manager but it doesn't want to be updated with the right drivers. PdaNet also refused to install USB-Drivers.
It's like they don't recognize the S3.. Perhaps I don't have USB-Debugging enabled? I'm not sure about this, because this brick just happened from one day to another.
I installed and uninstalled the "normal Samsung USB-Driver for mobile phones" often while trying to get the other drivers running. When installed, the S3 showed up in the device manager as one of the USB-Controllers.
Installed Kies for a factory reset but it didn't recognize the S3..
This shows up in Download-Mode:
ODIN*MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
I guess it's no sudden death because it shows the product name? Also I have no idea why it has three flash counts, I just flashed it once seven month ago.
Since I never updated to Jelly Bean the S3 was running on ICS 4.0.4
Edit:
Next steps I tried:
Flashing with an older version of Odin (v.1.85) But also failed at <ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed
Flashing CF-Root v.6.4 to get the recovery mode back. Failed at <ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed
Flashing Resurrection Odin CheckRom EvoHD v.4. Failed at <ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed
Repartition with 20120329.pit and mx.pit. Failed at <ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed
I'd still appreciate any kind of help or feedback!
It sounds like partial nand failure or simple partition corruption. Search here in q&a for solutions to repartition, but if that fails then your nand is probably toast.
try flashing a pit file
not sure if it will help but..
connect it to computer..when it fails to install drivers..Turn off and Pull battery out for few secs restart..
sometimes this helps to reinstall drivers..not sure in your case of a bootloop though?
Thanks for your answers!
I tried to repartition with a PIT-File but it didn't work.
At first I tried the GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit with this 3-part-rom:
CODE_I9300XXALE8_554452_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.
MODEM_I9300XXLE8_REV02_REV04_CL1145430.tar.md5 is valid.
CSC_OJV_I9300OJVALE7_CL547448_REV00_user_low_noship.tar.md5 is valid.
But the same error appeared.. also the error appeared so fast I don't think there happened a repartition at all?

Second try was 3-part-rom recommended with the mx.pit-File:

MODEM_I9300XXLEF_REV02_REV04_CL1147871.tar.md5 is valid.
CSC_OXF_I9300OXFALEA_613742_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is valid.
With the same result...
It's always the same error, again and again...
Any further ideas?
you are done
Only two answers one wrong PIT or partition damaged .
Two Nand damaged see how much will a new motherboard cost .
jje
Thanks again!
With the GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit-File I got my S3 responding for the first time since it died. It showed the blue loading-bar, but it didn't move at all and Odin stopped at <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
Tried this rescue-version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6 with mx.pit but of course it didn't work..

seems like you're right, unfortunately..
But if you have ANY idea what I could try, please post it.
Are you sure it's a NAND damage or could it be a bootloader problem? I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916796 but I don't understand what they are talking about yet.
Update:
I couldn't find a solution and send it to a Samsung repair service and it was repaired under warranty. Don't know why exactly..they didn't need to because of my flash-counter. There was a letter in the package that said the mainboard was replaced and that's all!
Anyways, thanks for the help!
Can be closed!

I had a similar problem, my phone just froze in the middle of a phone call, had to pull out battery, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't pass the second "SAMSUNG" logo, just stayed there forever, with the blue light (Official JB 4.1.2 - not rooted)... Anyway, after 3 days of trying, downloaded bunch of firmwares, but all of them gave me the infamous "Complete(Write) operation failed". This is how I MANAGED to revive my i9300 16Gb Int:
1.Open ODIN, load ONLY the pit file corresponding to your phone (In my case i9300 16Gb Int'l - GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit), check "Repartition" and "F.Reset Time" and hit "Start".
- If this step goes OK (All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0))
2. Click on the "Reset" button in Odin (or close and re-open it), in PDA select "recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar", make sure only "F.Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" are checked, and flash it. If everything goes OK, you should now have CWM instead of Stock recovery.
3. Take any microSD card, any size, and put THIS file on the root of the microSD using a card reader or whatever you prefer - but be careful, copy the zip as it is - do not unzip it.
4. Insert the memory card in the phone, enter recovery*, and select "Install zip from External Storage" and choose the file you put on the root of the card (by the way, it's a 4.0.4 downgrade bootloader), it should flash in a second, the phone will restart, and that's it!
5. Download and flash 4.0.4 Stock FW using Odin (i used "I9300XXBLH1_OXEBLF1.zip"), everything should go OK, and the phone will be bootable again.
*(my phone didn't wanted to enter recovery the old fashioned way using 3-button combo, but i managed to enter recovery from charging mode, by connecting the charger on a switched off phone, and as soon it starts charging press Vol Up + Home + Power, and when the FIRST Logo (Galaxy S III GT-I9300) appears, let go of the power button, keep pressing the Vol Up + Home, and it enters recovery).

Where can you download these 16, 32 or 64 .pit files ? I couldn't find them anywhere ...
If you start playing with PIT files you will end up with a dead phone and at best have to buy a new motherboard .
They might be found on sammobile

Thanks for the lead, I will look for them on Sammobile.
But Please, this is the only answer I could reald along my searches "do not mess with .pit file". That does not answers the "where" and "which file" questions. I think people know playing with .pit files is touchy and they have a reason to ask for it.Stop being their mother and just answer the question accurately !

Your sense of entitlement is awe inspiring, if you searched and read you would find many people who flashed pit files to fix just a soft brick and then had to pay for a new motherboard.
So no, we won't help people wreck their phones.

1. Downloaded 2 types of ROMs a) (I9300XXEMF6_I9300OLBEMF3_I9300DXEMB1_HOME.TAR); b) I9300XXEMF6_I9300ITVEMF1_I9300XXEMF6_HOME.tar.
Flashing through ODIN in DOWNLOAD MODE failed right after cache.img.
2. Changed USB cable, USB ports & computer.
3. Downloaded separate USB driver & KIES (killed its processes before flashing).
4. Could not get into recovery mode.
Please help, thank you!

Sounds like the internal memory is screwed. Probably needs to be sent for repair.
It might be worth trying a rescue rom & pit:

Hi, thanks for the link, i will keep it as my last resort =)
UPDATE***
Tried the pit file, killed my phone, not turning on now (black screen), looking for a usb jig now, but before that i have a question:
If somehow i could get the jig to work, what are the chances of me being able to fix the phone? Odin does not work earlier so i doubt using a jig would make much difference.
How about heimdall? I don't have a packaged heimdall file though >.>

Very slim, as rootsu said the memory sounds damaged. The pit rescue is a last resort, if that didn't work then new motherboard is probably required.
Usb recovery jig only boots to download mode nothing else .
At post one you had warranty now strictly speaking warranty is void .

Hmm, i don't understand, i left the phone charging overnight and it became like that, i did not even drop it so how could it fail itself (slim chance)?

Well warranty was over so i had to use such method lol
Phones dying when on charge all night is a weakness of these phones, not common but given the millions made quite a few have been reported.
Samsung warranty is 2 years, if your phone is now completely dead a service centre is worth a try.

See the basic faqs and guides reference sudden death syndrome it would have been a free replacement of the motherboard under warranty .

Well, the phone's warranty is already over before i tried any flashing.
A quick question:
Say if the usb jig works, will i be able to return the phone's condition to normal if odin worked? Or to the prior condition (firmware encountered issue..).
Or even if odin worked later it would be of no use due to the pit & bootloader flashing?
Thanks in advance!

Can you boot to download mode if so USB Jig is no use .
If three buttons boot to download mode fails recovery jig may boot into download mode and no more than that allowing you to flash via Odin .
But as your failure is posted via Odin jig is not going to do anything at all

if you change the firmware name it wont work. if you download the firmware dont change the name just keep it the way you download it and set it on PDA.
it failed on me also because i change the original name ... so try that.
Hello , I've searched for any similar threat the whole night but I couldn't find any with the same problem as mine!
I was trying to root my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Pro SM-J250F/DS.
After enabling OEM Unlock and USB Debugging,
I used Odin to flash TWRP , Odin executed the file without any problem and stated PASS.
BUT when I try to boot on recovery mode, I still had the basic samsung recovery mode.
I tried to flash it severals times, each time showed pass, but the same recovery mode was still there.
I couldn't find anyone else facing this problem on any other forum neither.
I decided to try other root's threat that I found on other forum where I was suggested to download an image.tar.md5 then flash it with Odin for rooting process of my phone.
After I did this , the operation was PASS but upon booting up my device, my phone was on boot loop :'(
I tried being cautious all the way to root this reading every information carefully to avoid this kind of problems, but still I fail
I dont know what to do, I spent the whole night looking for answers on the web but I couldnt find anything similar.
I cant even enter recovery mode it booting all over again. I only have access to download mode.
Thus, I tried to download a fresh firmware from samsmobile, I dont know how to do to know which Country/PDA/CSC to choose from
I tried to download a random one and flash it with odin but the operation failed and here's the logs;
