[Q] help! ive a bricked GT-i9001!

Hi guyz,
I'm new with rooting, and flashing.
I've downloaded feamod recovery for the i9001. But when I was done with flashing via odin, and I started up my phone, you see the samsung screen, and then he is download mode. But i can't just start up my phone, I think it is soft bricked, but how can I fix this? Should I send it to samsung to repair it, and how much money will that cost? I already tried to flash again, but it didnt work. Help me please!
Kind regards, nikosb10

If you can get it into recovery mode and download mode you can fix the softbrick yourself.
Either put the stock **** back on your phone leaving you with an unrommed phone
Or, USB jig it they are only a £5 or $6

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered an issue (Stock upgrade with kies)

Hi.
i have been on every thread i found with the same kind of title, or that the search engine found but i cant relate to those problems since everyone has been fiddling with their phones in order to get this message.
i was updating my samsung xcover vith kies when the update failed (due to bad cable) now i get the error message on my phone
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
i read somewhere that this is "download mode" but im not shure and i dont really know what to do here.

[Q] HELP: Cyanogen bootloop

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 from Verizon with CWM and rom manager installed. I used Rom Manager to install CyanogenMod 10 and it restarted my device. It now is stuck in a bootloop. Even when I power it down the phone turns on automatically and continues to bootloop.I cant seem to open CWM, although I was able to get Odin open but it had its own infinate downloading screen. My phone is completely useless right now and I would really love to be able to use it tomorrow.
Update
Okay turns out Odin actually works. If someone could help me use Odin to unroot my android or at least fix the root that would be great.

Try flashing the stock firmaware using the odin and then try rooting.

[Completed] [Q] Canadian Galaxy S4 Soft bricked can't connect to PC

I had been running cwm on my i7337m s4 and decided to change to twrp because I was having problems flashing cm11
twrp did not work to flash cm11 either so i decided to go back to cwm using the app. I tried to boot into cwm recovery using the app but each time it went back to twrp recovery. So I thought I could use mobile odin pro to flash the cwm .tar file. When i tried to flash cwm using mobile odin my phone soft bricked. I think it's a soft brick at least, I can get into download (odin) mode but not into any recovery mode. I know how to fix a soft brick using pc odin but for some reason my s4 will not connect to my pc. I don't believe it is a driver issue as I have other s4's and s3's that will connect. I use the same cord and same usb port but have tried changing them.
Any advice is appreciated
Edit~
I tried connecting to another computer and still nothing. Both computers recognize my other s4 and s3

[Completed] [Q] Samsung Note 10.1 (2012) Stuck on logo. HELP PLEASE!!!

Hey Guys,
I am not sure if this is in the right thread but I need help with my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, 2012 edition, GT-N8010 16gb wifi model. I flashed it about a year ago with a custom ROM and it was working 100%. It hasn't been used in a while and this happened when I turned it on after a it wasn't used for a few weeks. It currently cannot get past the samsung logo when I start it up. If I start it holding the volume and power button I can get it to Odin mode/download mode where the screen says, "Downloading, Do not turn off target!!" In the top corner it says that the current binary is custom and the system status is official and finally RP SWREV: A2.
I have flashed this with stock software AND a custom Rom with Odin 3.9 and whilst flashing I can see a status bar going across the screen and then Odin say Pass and reboots the tablet but the reboot stalls at the samsung logo. I have also tried to flash CWM and again, Odin says pass but still not getting past the boot logo. When I flashed a stock ROMI think the current binary changes to samsung official, or maybe the system status says samsung official, either way it seems like Odin is successful but yet I still don't get a successful boot.
Should I flash a pit file? To be honest I am not quite sure what that would do, I know as much to say a pit file will repartition but beyond that I really have no idea what a pit file is, or where to get a 100% legitimate one as I know it is incredibly risky.
Seeing as how Odin recognises the tablet I am confident I have not bricked it, softbrick maybe, but surely something can be done to get this up and running due to the fact I can still send and receive a signal through usb? One question I have is, now that i have flashed a custom ROM and stock ROM without any success would USB Debugging be deactivated due to the new stock ROM?
I have got the profession version of Skipsoft Toolkit for this model but cannot seem to make any headway.
Sorry about the long post but I wanted to get all the details in for you guys to reduce the questions going back and forth. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated.
Thanks a million in advance!!!!
