I kind of brick my phone , after it stopped in the middle of a flash due to a bad cable. Now all i have is a black screen with a phone, a yellow triangle and a PC icons.
I changed the cable and when trying to flash with this rom: I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GXEFLSR_HOME.tar
the flash process always stops at about 99%. This is the log:

Try extracting a copy of the stock recovery.img from the firmware, then convert it to an Odin flashable .tar.md5, flash it via Odin, then boot into stock recovery, then factory reset and wipe cache, then reboot. Then try flashing the firmware.
Or, try flashing TWRP via Odin, then boot into TWRP, wipe everything, then reboot, then try flashing the firmware.

Thank you. It was a problem with the firmware. I Downloaded the right firmware for my country and it has flashed ok.
But now I have a bigger problem. The Phone over heats near the camera and randomly freezes and restarts.
Do you have any Idea why he's doing that.

Have you tried booting to stock recovery then factory reset and wipe cache partition? Sometimes there is stuff left on the device from before you flashed it, that remaining data causes bugs, factory reset and wipe cache fixes that.

On stock? For me this was the horrid media scanner glitch. I had to root my phone to force the device from scanning for new content and this was via a play store app.

I had similar problem a few years ago. Phone was extremally hot near the camera and a process called media scanner (I think that's it's name) was running all the time forcing CPU to go up to 1,2GHz
To fix that problem I had to install SD main pro and run it. It turned out I had many, many gigs of some kind of cache files. After painfull long time and boiling hot temperature near camera SD main managed to get rid off all of that useless staff. After that phone felt lighter and media scanning process after reboot was taking less then 45 seconds to finish

HI.
I had installed Odin and flashed the touch CWM 6 to my phone then I installed PureHD custom rom.
I noticed that the phone would reboot on its own every now and then.
But when it reboots, it just goes into a boot loop up to the logo , then reboots again.
Till I take out the battery, wait a little while , then re-insert the batter.
After that the phone will boot "normally" and would be functional for some time again.
I decided to change the Firmware, so i downloaded the cm-10.1-20130701-crDroid-build5-i9300.zip and install it.
That loaded fine for the most part.
I say that because when i try to use the sms application i noticed 2x since last night.
It does the same thing. It just reboots and get stuck at the logo once again.
Also I cannot copy items to my phone when its connected to my computer via the usb cable.
It tells me "cannot copy to device, either the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.
All this is very frustrating.
I am thinking about trying to load a stock rom via Odin to see if that will help.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks..

^^ What s/he said...
You don't mention the word wipe so I figure you didn't do that. If you can't get into the phone you should do your battery-removal thing and let the phone get into the OS, then connect USB and copy out the files you need to save. If you've got a backup to your extSDcard that would be helpful - you can always restore data from an advanced CWM Restore setting.
Copy the ROM you want across to the estSDcard using USB
Download megawipe, copy it to estSDcard and flash it in CWM.
Flash your ROM and restart phone, Set it up and once done, then start adding apps and restoring data, THEN make a full backup.
As a rule, the only time you do not do a full wipe of your phone is when you are flashing a point upgrade. i.e. going from AbcROM 7.1 to AbcROM 7.2 - if you are changing ROMs or doing a full step upgrade (AbcROM 7.x to AbcROM8.x) you need to do a full wipe to avoid problems.
hey,
so my friend brought me his S3, never rooted or tampered with. He just said the phone went into boot and never recovered. I can go in download mode but not recovery (my initial plan was to wipe cache).
he would kind of want his data intact but I don't know how viable that is by now..
Any advice?
Thank you

Try flashing a custom recovery like twrp or philz touch. But it actually sounds like a soft brick. worst case scenario you would have to flash a new firmware/

The phone's own recovery mode is not much flexible as other third-part recoveries. So I guess you have to install CWM recovery and wipe dalvik cache from there before booting. Try installing CWM recovery via Odin and then wipe dalvik cache. And don't worry, installing custom recovery won't root your phone.
If the stock recovery can, wipe the cache and dalvik cache

This is my first thread, so hello!
Me and my sister both have a S5839i, and my sisters just randomly bricked, and it is on a boot loop.
I have tried EVERYTHING online- recovery mode, downloading firmware with odin...you name it.
I have used the totoro_0623.pit file, and on Odin, it said it passed. But then trying with all the other firmware, it didn't work.
Yes, I am using the right version of Odin, and I don't have Kies running at the same time as Odin.
This is what happens when I put S5839IBULL1_S5839IVD2LH1_VD2.tar.md5 into the PDA section in Odin. This is the Germany Vodafone firmware, someone else posted in the forums. I have tried the UK one with the 3 network (what my region and network is) , but that doesn't work either, and comes up with the same thing in Odin.

Get the official firmware needed on Sammobile.com, you need an account on there. Don't worry it's free. Flash it as PDA on Odin. Make sure your phone is in download mode (volume up+volume down+power). If it boots, the boot animation might start looping. From theres you can access recovery (volume up+power+home). In recovery you wipe data and wipe cache and select reboot. It should work.

Hi
Don't panic !
Is not a brick, but Odin doesn't support one file (PDA) package.
You need to use Odinatrix to create a 3 files firmware or download a 3 files firmwares

Format the data
Put the pit file and tick Repartition. And then flash with Odin.
And you have to use Cooperve pit, not Totoro, it's for SGY
Yeah, I have ticked the re-partion and stuff. Apparently totoro works with Ace as well? All the tutorials say that...
I will still try though

you could try heimdall.

No, the only thing I checked was "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". Should I do it one more time or should I find a way to flash cyanogenmod again?

Yeah, it still won't let me boot. Is there a way I can flash a rom or put in a different recovery mode from here?

yea, just install a different odin recovery img.
you can also take any recovery.img you want and format it as odin file with md5 igning etc

Is there a way I can flash cyanogenmod through ODIN? I'm still lost at this point, sorry...

yes, take a cynagoen mod flashable zip, put it into an ext4 system.img if it isnt already one, then make an odin tar.md5 out of it.(if your already lost then your screwed)
It's not uncommon to need to reboot to recovery to factory reset after flashing the firmware through Odin or Heimdall as many of the packages do not wipe data as they are meant to be update versions.

^ he made a good point
So, was working on flashing a custom ROM on my wife's phone (I've flashed phones countless times, even plenty with Odin), but after an issue flashing the Recovery, the phone wouldn't boot and would go straight to the Download every time. I've tried flashing a couple ROMs via Odin, but kept getting an odd message until I applied a PIT file. The phone booted back to how it was successfully.
Seems the Recovery is messed up though, so I need to try and fix that.
I tried to use Odin to apply a factory image, but it failed (see phone screenshot attached and Odin log below)

Went to reboot back into the OS, but now it goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I tried this last night, but it said my phone was unsupported...
Ugh, finally convinced my wife to get a smart phone and now all of this...
You're trying to flash an MJ7 build. Is that the build you had when you started? I'm thinking you'll need to try the NC5 full wipe tar file with Odin.
The Verizon S4 is pretty locked down. Unless you have a phone with an MDK build, you will be extremely limited as to what you can do. Best to do a little research before you brick your phone permanently.

I was able to get it to boot back to the prior running version after applying a .pit file (I thought that would have wiped everything)... Determined that it is FNC5 and flashed with that. It apparently didn't wipe the data, but I did a factory reset afterwards. I noticed though that now WIFI won't turn on... Really need to get this working well one way or another...
Interestingly enough, I have another of the same model phone that I haven't had any issues really with...
If I could just get a working recovery on it, I have a feeling I would be fine (I could just flash the same ROM as I have on my other phone AND make sure things are actually wiped!).
If I try to push about any recovery console via several methods, they all fail. Is it possible that the partition or something is messed up? Any sure fire way of fixing it (or a good route in the right direction)? I would LOVE to take this phone even back to 100% new phone, wiping out everything...
@riker147 MDK build? I don't see a version that had MDK in the version for my phone... SCH-I545 (Verizon)
MDK was a very early build.It was the only one that could have a custom recovery because of an exploit that was found. A later update fixed that exploit. (No, you can't revert to an earlier build) Now our only option for any type of recovery is Safestrap. Just be aware, Safestrap is very limited. Like I said earlier, best to do some research.
