Hey, i am new here i used to get helps lot in this forum but now i am facing a problem that i didn't found a solution for it yet..
first off i tried to change from android 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 (Arabic support) using Odin v1.83 when i put the .tar file into PDA then i run it. gave me failed and the phone won't work again when i restarted it gave me result are like this : Phone--!--PC
please help me i cannot do anything.. i tried to remove the battery using usb cable go to recovery mode,,, download mode but nothing it keep appearing even it i turned off the phone just in one click to power button it appear again.. i am going to crazy and the phone has warranty expired please is there anyway to solve this problem?

I don't know if your phone is the same, but with my Nexus if stuck in bootloop I can plug the usb cable in and use adb to enter command "adb reboot bootloader" and get to fastboot and flash the stock images. Maybe you can try something like that. That's why I love the nexus I thought I bricked it a couple times but I always got back to stock images. or if you have a cwm restore you can get to that once in fastboot.

Thanks for your reply! but where i can find stock images?? and can i make it without formatting everything on it? plus when i did that i wasn't have the sd card inside it and without a sim card also

i found on the web that i need to install default kernel.. i did that and put it to bootloader in Odin and the operation succeed but now i am facing looping on Samsung logo with yellow triangle ... see the picture.. it always loop can't do anything tried recovery mode download mode but nothing.. is there any fast solution please? i beg you guys please

Try to wipe everything trough recovery, and flash another rom.

Just google for Heimdall recovery

Does Heimdall perform anything different than Odin?

try to install leaked original rom ics for gs2. i try it and yellow triangle is out

Odin Stock Flash SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar * Not Working * i727 Skyrocket

I am having trouble getting Odin flash to Pass. I am not new to the software, have done it many times on many different phones. I am using Odin 1.85 and placing SGH-I727-UCKJ2-k0nane.tar in the PDA slot with only Re-Boot checked just as stated but it freezes everytime I get to system.img.ext4.
Hence I am soft bricked and stuck in download mode with the yellow triangle ! showing.
Anyone else having this issue or know of a way to fix?
Things I have tried:
Different Computer
Different USB Slot
Different USB Cable
Different .tar download links
Kies will not acknowledge the phone
Just out of curiosity did you extract the 7zip?

I'm having the same exact problem, followed the procedures and ODIN failed.
It says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue and KIES wont recognize it either
and i did extract the 7zip for the TAR file
Phone is just stuck now
Help please

I was stuck there just a little while ago. Will it boot into the warning screen where you press volume up to continue to download mode or straight to the "please connect to kies" screen?

Before it got stuck, it booted into the warning screen then i could continue into download mode
NOW, it just sits in "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
change computer, if you can
got it to work
i used a older version of Odin, version 1.3
Worked perfect.
Thanks for your help guys
I'm having the same problem. I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Odin (both 1.3 and 1.85) hangs at system.img.ext4. Thanks in advance for any help.
Having the same problem, looking forward to some advice.
What exactly is happening and what exactly have you tried?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I'm having this problem as well.
I flashed to CM9 nightly and got it working beautifully before I realized I cannot access my Kies backup to retrieve my contacts and pictures.
Tried to return to stock and it hangs on <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4 with maybe 5% of the status bar complete.
I've attempted to re-download the rom as well as reinstalling the drivers. If I cancel the flash I'm able to reflash CWM using oden and use CWM to flash CM9 to get the phone functional again. This might help anyone with a bricked phone.
I've tried this several times, sometimes it will hang on recovery.img as well. Any help with this would be appreciated. I'll try downloading an older version of oden as recommended above and trying it that way. I'll also try a different computer.
Edit:
To add to this I was able to get Kies to recognize the phone at one point. I then tried to do a firmware recovery and it errors out saying there is an error with the device. Not sure if this means anything as Kies appears to be the crappiest software I've come across in a long time, It won't even detect my untouched Galaxy Tab 8.9 (SGH-i957) at all.
Edit2:
Just copied everything over to my laptop and tried again. Flashed without issue using odin 1.87 after installing kies. Problem appears to be a driver/connection problem on the computer end. Kinda weird as I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers with no success on my desktop. Phone kept looping the ATT "Rethink Possible" boot animation. Had to go into the stock recovery and wipe partition and factory reset. Then it started up fine and is running with 2.3.5

The phone doesn't boot...

Hi guys, please help me!
My sister's phone ( i9003 as mine ) doesn't boot anymore...
It had froyo and today it stop to work...
i have tried to flash xxkpe and the xxkpq but it no boots!
Do you know any solution?
Have you tried anything such as flashing another phone's ROM? Can you access Download Mode?
It had froyo stock rom...it's my sister's phone and doesn't boot today...i don't kmow why...i tried to flash another stock but nothing, should i need to change kernel?
How have you tried to flash? If you can boot in download mode (Vol Down + Home Button (the central one) + Power button) you'll be able to flash the phone with Odin.
you say "suddenly stopped", and it won't boot, and she has the same phone as you? try swapping batteries first
if nothing is working at all and it won't go to download or recovery and it's 100% stock and still under warranty, the service center will be the best solution if swapping batteries doesn't make it work (dead battery?)
it swich on but stops in boot animation of samsung...is the phone in warranty if i have put another stock rom like xxkpq or not?
The recvery shows while i'm trying to flash another stock...
"your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format anc reboot actions."
and later "E:format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkOp3"
"data wipe failed"
those are the red one in the recovery
that's the one I hear happens all the time to those with certain hardware errors. just go tell 'em you were flashing through kies when it broke
if the homescrren doesn't apear the kies don't work...or not?
that would be my guess. I don't use kies, just installed it on my computer since it seems necessary in order to get the usb drivers.
kies wont work until the phone has completely booted

if you can go to recovery then you can do dalvik and cache wipe.... then try to go download mode and flash using odin start with KPE or KPH (i used KPH) before going to anything newer

[Q] Bricked phone

Hello. I've got a problem with booting. I tried to install a new FW, but got an error after that I couldn't boot it at all. I've tried to reinstall recovery, using odin and it can see my phone, but the screen is black and when I want to install ANYTHING, it stucks at "Setup connection"..
I've tried to change the ports, extract/insert the battery, reboot my pc, remove my SD and Sim, turn off the Kies, but nothing helped.
What to do? Does anybody know?
Please, help me. I have broke my head

But I can't.. When I try to boot with download mode, then odin can see the port(yellow), but the screen is black and odin stucks at "Setup connection"... and no matter what I'm trying to install.. I just don't want to take it to SC, cause it costs a lot, that's why I'm here.
Any ideas?

try to remove battery for a while then plug it in again and then enter the phone into download mode, connect it to usb and run Odin (see results if Odin has recognized your device)
*Remove the battery.
*Connect the phone via USB cable to pc(without battery).
*Press & hold Volume Down+Home+Power buttons(without battery).
*& while keep holding these 3 keys, insert the battery.
Now try updating via Odin.
If still fails then u can't do anything else.

No download mode, no recovery, detected by odin, not kies

Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

2 years later .... did you ever unbrick this? I'm dealing with a P5113 now that's stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. <sigh>

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx

Samsung s2 plus boot loop/ soft brick

hello! i have soft bricked my samsung s2 plus i had cm 12.1 i wanted to go to stock rom so i wiped my phone thru twrp. Then i downloaded the original rom from sammobile.com for s2 plus i flashed it all worked great but i flashed it as bootloader on odin and now when i turn on my phone it bootloops shows the samsung logo all the time and nothing is happening. i tried to go in the recovery mode that doesnt work but i can go in the download mode (odin). i tried flashing other roms but they say md5 hash value is invalid in odin and nothing works i dont know what to do please help me. i also deleted all of my files from sd card because maybe some files from the old rom were left there. please please help me
press power+power UP+home button . you will see logo and then you will get into recovery mode.
Tell me 1 thing. when you click on pda button in Odin, it need .tar, .md etc format. but the roms are in zip format. how you mount?
Hmm, try double-checking your settings in Odin, you might-ve done something wrong.
Try unplugging all the USB devices from your computer excluding the mouse and/or the keyboard, might fix this.
What else? make sure you flashed the right images for your SIIp, once I've bricked my device completely with that (acquired some grey hair that day).
See if you do those correctly, and if you seem to be installing everything correctly, try using the recovery to flash an image.
Good luck!
