Hi,
I have just flash my GT-i9003 using Odin to GT-I9100_O2U_I9100XWLP3_I9100O2ULP4_I9100XXLPR, but I failed to upgrade, and I am not able to start my phone since then, any help?
can you bring it back to download mode?
hold volume down +home button + power button
coz if you can bring it to download mode ... reflash to XXKPE first
tell us what was your stock rom before you tried flashing?
I cannot even boot up or do anything to it. I have also tried to remove it's battery and put it back, tried to start again, but still nothing happen.
can you try doing this method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411768
but be very careful
Hi, I have tried several times, but still nth happen. any other idea? Thanks
im just a newbie too and im just trying to refer from topics that i have read
hmmmm probably its not just a soft brick but a hard one
maybe you need to buy a USB jig for i9003 or make one
there are tutorials available about it on google
but as ive heard they wont really work if your phone doesnt turn on at all
or lastly send it to samsung service center if you are still under warranty and tell them that it happened while you updated with kies
then hope and pray they will replace parts or fix it for free
if not under warranty anymore

sorry mate, this is the farthest i can go
i hope some others can give better ideas
Its an obvious hard brick as you flashed a rom meant for i9100. Service centre you go
Cheers

A sad, sad story. One more sl9003 has bites the dust.
In developer section even it was not related topic, the moderators kept the 5th thread only to warn sl9003 flashers.
Sorry to know it.
JTAG may help you

IOS is garbage plain and simple. Apple forces you to use things THEIR way. With android you can fully customize every aspect of your phone. I've had an iphone and their crap compared to Android, especially this skyrocket.
Restore
Try going into recovery mode (turn phone on while holding both volume buttons) and if u made a backup before restore to it, if not then mount ur usb storage from there and put a new rom on it in the root folder then try to install that but try a clean wipe and all that first to
all this can be done in the recovery menu

It's not android that's complicated.. You could have stay stock and use different launchers to achieve alot of customized looks but you JUMPED in and it sounds like you might have not have been prepared with enough info... I'm going to give you some good advice someone gave me....search is your friend, and YouTube is your friend, and follow the damn instructions... Those words have helped me.. I also say know when your ready to play with the systems. There's nothing wrong with reading all the post and using them for reference material.

Hello..
I'm getting ERROR message everytime I try to enter the recovery mood. Its happened 2 days ago. I've tried to flash the stock ROM for several times and hoping that could correct this issue. Unfortunately, that couldn't help and leaving me dissapointed.
I noticed this issue for the first time when my device cannot process the command line "Updating BLA BLA..." during entering the recovery mood. Its stop there and nothing is happened for about more than 5 minutes until I forced it to shutdown by long pressing the power button. Then, I tried to enter the recovery mood for the second time. You guys know what happened to my device?
I predict that situation is okay until when I try to WIPE all data and encountered an error message with the red text asking me to 'use UI to format system and reboot'.
But, I still don't know what to do. I'm hoping that you guys with kind hearted to please do help me. Thanks in advance.
One more thing, please teach me how to make this flash counter mark (!) disapear......... THANKS.

If you cannot, I recommend you read Samsung note forum. There are thread about 'parted' command to repartition to skip bad block. Mind was success to skip and boot but lost a lot of gigabyte.

Thanks for replying to my question.. Will read the forum for sure.. Thank you.
Recently I faced the similar problem twice. The 1st time was using ODIN to flash the latest CWM and then format the DATA folder through the advance setting... solved the problem...
2 days ago, I faced the same problem again and the solution above won't help at all. I use the ODIN flashed the original Samsung firmware and do reset to default through the original recovery and it works. But I lost all my internal data in the internal memory.
So, you could try the suggestion above if it helps. Just the 2nd one WILL DELETE ALL DATA and it is UNRECOVERABLE. So you been warned. Don't blame me if you lost your multi-billion project file.

there's another thread with this problem in 'general' will edit with link momentarily. i'm having the /data format/mount error, and i'm afraid to try flashing ICS with a previous ODIN version as i CANNOT afford to loose this device.. from what i understand... THIS is the superbrick bug.... and with no warranty for customers in the US.... ugghhh..
There is a way to fix it . You need to bet it JTAG ed . I cant vouch for the guy but there is someone
On XDA that does offer that service . I dont have the link right now but do a search and you can find
It I hope . I will look for the link later . Dont give up there is hope .
http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/ri...brick-dead-boot-repair-supported-world-first/
I have been looking at this.
I was running ICS and flashing all the available on XDA which are relevant to ICS, all of sudden i was facing so many problem and want to Restore the previous backup so i tried to boot in to recovery but was stuck on Samsung splash screen with top written as Booting into Recovery.
So i thought Recovery partition is corrupted so i booted into download mode and flashed Stock ROM with ODIN and it was successfully flashed and mobile restarted.
Mobile restarted saying "Error in Recovery Kernel" in red color.
so i again thought some problem happend so i again flashed Stock ROM using ODIN, now it restarted and stuck on Samsung splash screen only no progress...
Finally i tried flashing pit file with re-partition option also still same problem..
have any one faced this kind of issue and any help will be appreciated....
It seems you tried also the possible tricks. The last resort i think is to apply the dead phone repair trick which i think should help. Warning it removes your imei so it is necessary that you have your efs backup.
first try to boot then take EFS as backup...
now flash stock rom and if the problem persists , take it to SSC...
it may so have happened that your flash on which recovery partition is stored on has been damaged...
all the best buddy...

Could be another version of that....
Our and the galaxy S2 and note have very different architectures...
The eMMC bug does corrupt some sectors on the flash which seems like a brick...
But i believe his phone can be recovered as it is only soft bricked...

Since you've successfully flashed stock ROM via Odin and stuck on Samsung splash screen, all you have to do is to boot in the stock recovery and perform a "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe the cache". Then reboot and see if it worked. It worked for me when I was facing the same issue.

It looks like you might get so called "kernel panic". It can happen when you switch between kernels, android versions.
Another thing...bootloaders. You guys restored ics-cwm backup but still use gb bootloader. It can cause booting problems sometimes.
If it was eMMC brickbug mj.vikram wouldn't be able to turn the device on.
Mj.vikram if you can flash gb-stock and you are able to boot into recovery, so wipe data and cache. No need for this heavy unbrick procedure yet, i think.

I had a similar problem... My sgr used to get stuck on the splash screen for about a minute and then boot....
It had happened due to some unknown bug while flashing extensively with various ROMs and MODs, and resulted my SGR sensors (PROXIMITY & LIGHT SENSOR) not to work....
Then SSC people replaced sensors but it did not work... Then they replaced the entire board..
I think you are going through a similar situation... Take it to SSC as soon as possible and make sure... You have flashed Indian Stock and reset the counter... All the best...

Hey guys, I dont have the exact problem, but i do think my skyrocket i727 is also soft bricked. Ive been researching allot since i dont know too much, and i dont wanna risk my phone dying on me. Any help will be greatly appreciated. While at work (currently deployed, so i can't go into an AT&T store) i used my friends charger to charge my phone. Ok, i put it were all the sockets are, that i always use and have not had any issues with. And it didnt charge, so i plugged it into my friends laptop. I see on my phone the blinking battery, and continue to use my gtalk. Had to step out to work, disconnected the charger and continued on with my day. A few hours later i took my phone out and noticed it kept on vibrating while the screen was black. Took the battery off put it back and nothing. Then took the battery out for like 2 3 hours, and again nothing. It will jus go to the 1st samsung logo, then to the second and go black, then vibrates every other second. I'm going crazy because i dont have a memory card and am soo terrified of losing my pictures and videos. I have read and have had the guys i work with help me, and one friend downloaded the Odis program, but before i use it, i just want to make sure theres nothing else I can do. Again ive read the steps, understand them, but will it delete my pictures?? I apoligize for the length of my thread, just trying to give as much detail as possible. I have never tried to modify my phone, so its still in its original form. Please help. Thank you in advance. Have agreat day

last time this happened, after 3 hours of waithing on this message, my phone I guess crashed because it started to disply the original message I posted.
What should I do?
its been 30 min now... should I wait? should I unplug the phone and start over or should I just close Odin and start over?

Ya you need to figure out what has happened. Are you sure you have Odin setup correctly? you have the file in the right Box (PDA I think). Every other box unchecked except auto reboot..?

Well I'll be honest I looked at SD card and I flashed and i9300 rom on it. I've tried leaving battery and stuff but the phone just won't power on. Screen just remains off. When I plug into computer with battery out a red light comes on and phone tried to install a driver but doesn't install and Odin doesn't see. I have Samsung drivers installed so i don't know what it's trying to install. Am I screwed? Throw phone away? Lol

I head jtag doesn't work anymore after 2.3 android or maybe it was the jig I was reading about.

Hopefully someone will have another way to fix it but I'm pretty sure jtag is the only way.
