I was following the Samsung Galaxy S Full Update Guide wiki on the Cyanogenmod website.
I was Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery, when I got to step 8 'Click Start on the Heimdall Frontend. A blue transfer bar will appear on the phone showing the kernel being transferred. The device will reboot automatically.' BUT when the phone tried to reboot it gets stuck on the first Galaxy S splash screen. I can get in to download mode and recovery mode. Does this mean my mobile is bricked? What do I do now?
Thanks in advance
(Edit - Misread your problem) Your device is not bricked. As long as you can get into recovery mode/download mode, there is something which can be done. In this case, all you have to do is flash a new rom.
If you can get downloadmode, you didnt brick.
Just flash something else that is compatible.

Hi Guys,
Ive managed to root my phone, install all the necessary ROM files on my internal SD card.
Unfortunately, i have now bricked my fone and i it either stays on the black screen with the initial "Samsung Galaxy S 19000" in white writing....OR...if i press the 3-button combo it takes me to "Downloading mode"
I followed a link which said to..
Step 4.Put your phone into download mode again and flash the CyanogenMod 7 initial kernel (cm7-galaxys-initial-kernel.tar file from initial CM7 package) to it as PDA without auto-reboot using Odin.
Step 5.Reboot your phone into recovery using three button combination again.
Once i tried to reboot into recovery mode...it wouldnt allow me...it only took me to downloading mode. I think its because i didnt install ClockworkMod Recovery.
I need help with the following possible solutions:
Solution A: Can i flash any ROM ONLY using Odin? At least i can get into the phone and install ClockworkMod Recovery manally.
Solution B: Is there any other way to get into Recovery Mode..so i can just wipe/reset to factory mode?
Solution C: Any other ideas??
Thanks...any help would be appreciated!
Okay. I work for a school district and we have deployed tablets to our students for use. I have one -5113 that boots only to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 logo and then goes blank. No animated swirl Samsung logo. Trying to boot into recovery doesn't do anything but go to a black screen. The only thing that I can boot into is download mode. First I tried to flash a stock version of the ROM to the device, but it still operates the same. Then I tried to flash custom recoveries to no avail. The flashable version of Clockworkmod I found boots to the hat and gear logo screen, but then freezes there and eventually the tablet restarts. TWRP will install and I can boot into it, but can't do anything because it wants a passcode that has never been set. I have also tried CF-auto root to install a new ROM, but that was unsuccessful too. I was hoping someone could see the error of my ways so I can get this up and running. Thanks in advance.
According to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090104
you can try this:
Ok, I was able to fix this. Here is how in case this happens to someone else.
1. Uninstalled Kies
2. Reboot PC
3. Plug in tab and wait for drivers to load
4. Start Odin (I found the DL link in the dev area)
5. download the firmware that you want to load - I had JB
6. extract the md5 file
follow Odin instructions to flash a file, this worked without being in Download Mode.

I have been able to flash through Odin. That works great, but it doesn't change how the device is working.
Suuuuuuuuuper bummed, I was running with not 1 issue, custom rom/kernel/recovery was working perfect.. well for some reason, tab crashed, wouldn't boot back up, went into recovery, tried to clear dalvik cache and tab rebooted, tried again , same thing, well, I went to just restore nandroid and didn't work. I rebooted into download mode tried to Odin stock back, Odin hung. So I opened up kies and I went to reboot download mode for a "fresh start" and when I booted back up, brick.. no recovery, no download mode.. I'm irritated ... :/ down to only old EpicTouch and my S4.. was cool for a bit to have a tab to play with too.. oh well.. I get tab3 later.. :/

Hey guys. I just got a Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi for Christmas (GT-n8013). I downloaded Cyanogenmod 10.2 on it to play around, but decided I wanted to go back to stock. However, something has gone horribly wrong. I flashed the stock ROM via ODIN and that seemed to work, but my device then went into a bootloop. I get the Samsung boot logo, and then an Android with a spinning blue object in his chest with a download bar. The download bar hangs at about 1/5 of the way, and then the device resets. I am unable to post images due to new user rules.
That download bar does not move past that point. It hangs there for a minute or so and then reboots, shows the "Samsung Note 10.1" boot logo, goes to this download again, then freezes and reboots. I am able to get into download mode, which shows that my device is on stock firmware, but the custom binary count remains at 1 (which I've read is due to installing ClockworkRecoveryMod?).
I am unable to boot into recovery mode. I get the aforementioned bootloop. I've attempted to flash the stock recovery with ODIN, and though it says it's successful, I continue to get a bootloop. My computer is also unable to recognize the USB device when bootlooping, even though ODIN says I have the correct drivers installed.
Sorry I can't link directly to the images, the forums won't let me. I'm definitely in way over my head here and would really appreciate some help. Thank you!
I have the same peoblem
the answer i got was to download the firmware form sammobile ( GT-N8013 )
then flash it with odin. Right know i am downloading the file (the size is very large)
If you have GT-N8013 then you can get the firmware form this link terafile.co/3f6559556907/N8013UEUCMA3_N8013XARCMA3_XAR.zip
I am new to this so i hope you can help flash this file on my tablet because we both the have kind of the same problem.

I am currently attempting this and will report back with my results.
EDIT: It worked!!!! The firmware flash didn't immediately fix the bootloop, but it allowed me to enter recovery mode. From there, I did a data wipe/factory reset from the recovery menu, restarted, and it's working!
Hello, i am having a big problem with my samsung epic 4g touch! Im not sure to exactly what caused this... But i was installing the CW Mod recovery with ODIN. Then i rebooted off of download mode. And my phone stays on the booting screen. I heard of this many times. But this booting screen has a type of caution sign below it, i am still able to enter recovery mode and download mode. In recovery mode, ever single option says -NO though.. Im not sure if i bricked my phone or what? Can anyone please help me!
Thankyou.
Get back into download mode, flash cwm again, GO STRAIGHT INTO CWM!!!! The ROM you had before using ODIN will not boot, you're forced to boot into recovery immediately. Make sure you have a ROM zip to install a ROM right after, you'll have issues if you try to boot TouchWiz stock. The triangle on the GS2 logo is normal, it means you've flash custom stuff through ODIN.
So I bricked my device again. *applause*
What Happened?
Flashed CWM using Odin
Booted into CWM Recovery
Deleted everything - /data, /sys, and most definitely the battery stats (I know that frustrated look on your face)
Rebooted *mwahahaha*
Output:
Stuck at boot logo
Can't boot into recovery anymore
Can't go into download mode either for unknown reasons (apart from faulty side buttons)
Odin shows COM1 port but can't establish connection when I try flashing and booting CWM (we know why; we haven't gone into download mode have we?!)
Stuck at boot logo
Stuck a-
Discovered solutions:
Strategy is to try going into EDL by hook or by crook. So we take the device apart (done), press on the power key and volume down key with a screw driver (done), and boot into download mode (done)
Flash CWM again via Odin
Reboot into Recovery (DOES NOT WORK)
It's probably because SAMSUNG does a battery check before the boot. And finds absolute garbage.
So my question is, is there a way to flash the entire firmware as a whole (including modem images, battery shiz and all that) VIA ODIN? This one solution if available will settle the whole puzzle for me.

I think ( yes think because I am not an expert ??!!! ) th problem is with recovery. Why don't you try again with different version of CWM. If still not, try TWRP.

(Sorry ! Read your post more carefully and am replying ) yes you can flash entire firmware via odin. What you actually did was you wiped out the whole system. Well try to install any recovery and you can also install a custom rom of android 7 ( the latest for our tab but outdated too ).
