I can get into Download mode though....
I would ODIN back to stock EE4 maybe (see this thread) to "start over". You could always try to ODIN the debloated EE4 I referenced in your other thread as well... and make sure the battery is IN when you flash with ODIN.
You don't need the download screen when soft bricked. As long as Odin sees the phone, your good to go.

that's a soft brick you got there, odin stock EE4 with PIT file and start over

Hello there and thank you for looking at my problem.
I have an at&t galaxy S II skyrocket that I have rooted using superoneclick.
I have not flashed any ROM onto the phone as of now. The phone somehow shut itself down last night while charging and now it will not turn on I can get to the Samsung screen but after that it is just a blank screen and I have to remove and replace the battery to try again.
First do u have cwm recovery installed? If so flash the stock recovery tar found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1360943 with odin. Then boot into stock recovery, and wipe data/cache 3 times then reboot. If that does not work follow the instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1342348 and odin the stock tar
---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------
You may still need to boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache after you odin the stock tat
No I do not, I have only rooted my phone
Ok shut down your phone and power it back on while holding volume up and volume down. This will get you into stock recovery. Then wipe data/cache 3 times each and reboot
When I do that my phone puts up some text but after the 4th line (actually doesn't say checksum it says "already executed!!") appears the phone will pause there for 5 seconds and blank out is this normal?
Just follow these instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1342348. That will take you back to 100 percent stock
Thank you for your help
No problem. But make sure you download and install the program 7zip. Because you need to unzip the. 7z file the stock tar is inside
I was running CarbonROM and wanted to try out a TW ROM. I booted into my recovery (TWRP), backed up Carbon, went to wipe options, did a Factory Reset, pushed the button to wipe system, it started but after a couple seconds the phone rebooted. I try boot back into recovery by holding down the power, VOL up, and home button. I get the "Samsung" splash screen and it says "recovery booting....", then the TWRP screen will show for a couple seconds, then my phone will reboot. I can't boot into the phone because I did a factory reset.
So I can't get into the phone and only get the start screen for TWRP but can't actually get into TWRP. Any help?
I found out I can boot into download mode. I should be able to find a stock rooted image there, right? Not sure how to do that though.
Had the same problem a little while back.
It;s been a few weeks since this happened to me so it's a little hazy so bear with me.
You are going to want to use ODIN to flash a rom with root, and once you get that you are going to want to reinstall a recovery pronto. (I suggest EZ-recovery 1.2)
A quick search will give you a few tutorials, just basically start like you are coming from a stock firmware and are rooting through ODIN.
Hope this helps!

It sounds like you TWRP might be broken. I'd try Odin first and pda push the newest TWRP again. If That fails then I'd push the newest CWM in Odin and see if that works. After getting CWMI to boot if you want to go back to TWRP again, pda it over thru Odin. If these fail then push a stock ROM from Odin and start all over again.

Sounds like a soft brick I did once too. I believe what I did was use Odin to go back to factory defaults, then I rerooted my phone

Just got the D2VZW back from the repair shop, which put it back to factory specs/locking/unrooted.
Used Casual All-In-On to gain root. Used EZ Recovery to flash the latest TWRP, but forgot to unlock the bootloader first.
Tried to boot into recovery, but got a message about unauthorized software to to take it to Verizon. Phone wouldn't boot anymore. Booted into downloader mode and tried to Odin back to stock, but received a failed message.
Now I can only boot into Downloader / Odin mode. Any other mode gives me an error about "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue...".
I read that you can use Kies to do an emergency firmware recovery, but when I do that it just stays at 0% when trying to flash to the phone.
Any idea how to resolve this?
EDIT: And the Search function on XDA is out of service at the moment, which makes things more of a challenge.

I THINK I got it working in Odin by flashing the MB1 bootchain (even though device is updated to MF1).
The strange thing is now I am still unable to Odin back to LG1 (stock) and take all the OTAs to MF1. I get a failed message. Device boots now though, which is good.

So your phone was originally on MF1 not MB1 Correct?

Correct. I took an OTA to MF1 and then tried rooting/unlocking/recovery and failed. But since I don't see an MF1 bootchain Odin file available, I flashed the MB1.

I downloaded that earlier, but the MD5s didn't match. I'll re-download and give that a shot. Thanks!
Boot to download mode then open odin
click PDA, Navigate to this folder and select the file you download (odin might freeze for a second just wait)
4. Press Start and let it finish till it says Reset OK or in the message box when it says Done
5. Your phone should be stuck @ the Verizon Screen to fix this pull battery and boot into stock recovery
Volume UP, Home, Power HELD until Message is displayed on top left corner "recovery booting" then you can release all 3 buttons
navigate to factory data reset using volume down then power to select then after done select Reboot to system and enjoy
---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 AM ----------
let me know if that works because im still uploading the full recovery image witch appears to be bigger
669MB vs 1.19GB
im assuming this recovery image is the all in one

Will do. I've got about 5 minutes left on the download. Then I'll check MD5 and flash.
EDIT: MD5s matched this time. Unzipped file is 1.24GB. Flashing now.
EDIT2: Still fails after trying to write aboot.mbn
EDIT3: When booting, I get the message again about there was an error with the firmware. But now since I flashed a kernel, I get the Software not authorized by Verizon message with the "Secure Fail: Kernel" in the corner.

Wanted to see if the upload completed successfully. Phone is working fine, but still can't Odin, which worries me.

Looks like I'm SOL again. I tried to follow Hero's method for de-bricking which involved flashing the route66 odin file, but telling it to clear data. I did that, but the flash failed, which erased part of my data. Now the phone hangs at the boot logo since the data was erased. When I try to boot into recovery it gives me the Unauthorized Software Error.

You can't boot into regular ODIN?
Some of what you're describing reminds me of the hell I went through with this phone last week.
I had similar issues with mine - I couldn't boot to anything but download mode - tried the root66 bit and no luck: ODIN kept coming back in FAIL!
In the end, there were a couple of things that got me back. Figuring I had nothing left to lose, I flashed the PIT for the phone in ODIN to re-partition. This allowed be to boot to stock recovery, but things were still messed up and the phone wouldn't boot to system. Recovery complained about missing /data, but that went away with a wipe/restore/factory reset in recovery. I forgot to bookmark the location of the PIT for this particular phone, otherwise I'd post it here. It shouldn't be too hard to find, though. Just be certain it's the I535 Verizon PIT, and be sure it's for the correct 16/32GB version.
I was also trying to run ODIN through a Virtual Machine, which always worked flawlessly for me in the past, but seemed to have been causing issues whenever I'd try flashing anything other than the PIT through ODIN. I booted to a native PC, re-installed the Samsung drivers and followed the soft-brick recovery procedure. This got the root66 images back on and the phone came back to life. I then ran Triangle Away to reset the counter and used ODIN to push the initial VZW image (VRALG1) to the phone and followed all OTA updates to the most recent 4.1.2 (MF1).
The phone's behaved itself since. I did root it and pushed TWRP, but other than that, it's back to stock and I'm a bit hesitant to go back to any other firmware after this mess. I'm waiting to flash the MF1 bootchain to re-lock the bootloader, but it's hard to come by and I'm still waiting on my PM to DarkMenace, who has a copy.
I'm not sure how similar your situation is to mine, but maybe some of this info is useful?

Yes.
I actually just figured out my problem. I was trying to use Odin through VMWare Fusion (emulator) on a Mac. This has worked in the past, but either it's something with the latest Mac OS update or VMWare update that breaks it now. I installed Windows nativly through Apple Bootcamp and Odin works as expected.
Thanks everyone for the advice.
So long story short, tried installing unofficial CWM recovery, and phone bootlooped. It just boots up, says it's booting to recovery, and restarts. Boots to recovery restarts. I can boot into download mode, but I don't think USB debugging is enabled because I can't see my device on adb. I think my only option might be fastboot, but I don't know how to set it up or use commands to reinstall philz custom recovery. I had that before I tried the unofficial CWM. Anyone have an idea on how I can get myself out of this one? Any help will be very much appreciated!
Use Odin to flash a recovery. Should bring it back to life

I'm on Antergos right now, so I can't use Odin. My phone tries to boot to recovery mode when I just hold the power button down, fails, then keeps trying to reboot to recovery.
Dont know if this was somved or not, but it sounds like your recovery didnt take, thats why it keeps trying boot into recovery and failing. Its missing. Either restore a backup, find a way to flash a recovery since you cant use odin, or find a way to flash back to complete stock package which will include a recovery.
I just took the phone to sprint and got a new one free of charge.
Hello Every One,
I had Installed Lollipop (android 5.0) Custom ROM in my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300 & I wanted to install marshamallow (android 6.0) I Had Downloaded The Zip Files of ROM in my Mobile but before Starting the Installation I had to Go to Recovery mode But i was Receiving The Download or You can say Odin mode screen After Pressing Vol up+home+Power button So i Tried To Reboot it in Recovery Mode From Reboot option But That Made that a Bootloop Becuase i Couldn't Enter To Recovery Mode & Stucked in Download Mode & Now When ever i restart My Mobile The Same Download Mode Comes & Becuase i Cannot Go Further So No Softwear (odin,Kies,Kingo root,Mobile go,mobogenie etc) can't Detect my phone after plugging it to computer, Please Any one help It has been days that i am searching for any solution.
Why not reflash your recovery with odin? It will probably let you out of download mode and be able to get to recovery.
---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------
Sorry. I just noticed that not even odin detects it any more.
---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------
I guess you already tried the usual stuff like uninstall kies and all other stuff that might interfear with odin, tried different ports and cables. Started odin with admin rights and tried other versions of odin ? Does it get recognised as anything in device manager?
yeah The Device Icon Does Come in Device Manager but Odin says that "Connected Device has stopped responding", And yeah i tried odin with admin Rights too but not of any use & Also i tried different ports and uninstalling odin etc & installing odin again but it was useless as it was giving the same result.
