[Q] Samsung Galaxy Mini doesn't run HELP !!!!

Hi.
My friend tried to install rom for Samsung Galaxy Mini. At the middle of installation the phone turned off and the phone doesn't want to run at all.
What is the problem?

My brother tried to flash his own and the phone doesn't restarts anymore.
It only does a small and quick screen flash, repeatly.
I can set it to download mode, and ODIN software connects OK, but reflahsing does not resolve the problem.
Help needed also.
PS: Sorry for my english.

I am going to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107331 tons of information!
Maybe reflashing with other recoveries solve something.

Its a half-brick
pls go on download mod. and reinstall new firmware,

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Problem after failed firmware update.

Problem after failed firmware update.
I tried to Update my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100G) using Odin 1.85
the Phone shut down before finishing the update. At that point I could not start my S2 the only picture I got was a black screen with a phone a “!” in a yellow triangle and a computer. I tried to upload the firmware again with Odin but it failed every time. I tried using Kies but it could not find the phone. I googled the problem to find a solution that could work and I tried several solutions without luck. But at last i tried the following advice see link:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [Q] Firmare upgrade encountered an issue - Am i done for?
I downloaded the .tar file that was referred to:
KERNEL_XWLPO.tar
and Odin worked and this file was downloaded. The problem is that now i only get the start page with the text Samsung Galaxy S2 with a yellow triangle "!" in the bottom. I tried plugging it to the USB port on my computer but it can't see the phone anymore and Odin and Kies can't see it so I can't upload another firmware.
Please help, I am desperate

I think I bricked my son's tablet!

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.

No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?

Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.

One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...

I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.

Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.

Help with Bricked Verizon SCH-I925

Hello Everyone,
I have a bricked Galaxy Note 10.1 (Verizon) SCH-I925.
The only thing I am able to get to is ODIN mode.
I have downloaded from sammobile; KIES_HOME_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
and have tried to load it using ODIN versions 1.85, 3.07, and 3.13. They all come back with a invalid hash error when I try to load it.
I have also tried to use:
BOOTLOADER_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CSC_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
MODEM_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
PDA_ALL_I925VRAMK1_I925VZWAMK1_1481643_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
These just fail when I try to load.
When I connect my device to my computer, it shows up in device manager as a USB device. Is this correct or should it show as an ADB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its a USB device .
Hash error bad download first check .Second check wrong firmware/ bricked phone SEE multiple bricked phone posts .
Try KIES recovery .

Will not connect
Tried KIES, both versions, does not connect.
The only thing I can get into is ODIN on the device.
I have read many threads on here but have not seen an answer to unbricking a Verizon SCH-i925 Not 10.1.
Help please.

Do you know anything about how it was bricked? Do you get the Samsung logo if you start it normally? You said only Odin is working, so I guess you also tried the recovery, does it just restart then or what happens in this case?

If I start it normally, I get the Samsung screen and then it goes blank. Recovery says "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your device. Please turn off your device and go to nearest Verizon Wireless store for help."
System bricked while trying to upgrade to Marshmallow. What I downloaded said it was for Verizon Model, but as soon as I tried to install the upgrade, that is when it bricked.

Just a heads up, no root or custom rom has been created for this specific model. Trust me, I am currently in the same boat as you. I have yet to find a solution.
