galaxy R bricked? - Samsung Galaxy R i9103

hey everyone.
ive been trying to get into cw mode for some time, but i couldnt make it anyhow. so i tried these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406880 but while flashing, odin said failed (sorry i didnt note down the failure message) and i unplugged the phone. maunally switched it on but now i get a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again."
think my phone is bricked. i have an usb jig but i dunno how to use it and i cannot get into download mode. please help me, i know this may not be the right place to write, but you all know about 10 message treshold thing..
thanks

"firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message will come when something fail while flashing with ODIN, switch on in Download mode by pressing Vol Down + Home Button + Power button simultaneously and flash any stock firmware with ODIN everything will be fine.

yepp, tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406541 steps and its ok now, i can even get into cwm.
but the problem is, when i select sth power off for example, nothing happens, all writings selections everything disappears and just a cwm logo remains. i am not able to have a back up or do anything else.
by the way, i'm using 2.3.4 turkish rom with wlxkga(i think) kernel. what happens if i flash a stock/custom rom 2.3.6 german? am i going to change language to turkish?

if its cwm 4 then you should use menu button to power off dude..by highlighting the power off option then pressing menu button.

ok i can select it now
how about my second question?

why do i always getting failure message when i try to flash *.tar files? im sure im doing everything as directed?
AND PLEASE ANSWER if i can install titanium rom on my xxkg8 (or xwkga i dunno which is correct, both of them are displayed from phone)

u cannot flash .tar via CWM lol ONLY via Odin
About flashing titanium over xwkg8 it is recommended to install XWLA4, but If you don't want to flash XWLA4 via Odin you may just:
1)Wipe data /factory reset
2)Wipe Cache
3)Wipe Dalvik Cache (within advanced)
4)Format /system (within mounts and storage)
And then:
Install zip from sd card (choose titanium rom)
It shouldn't be any problems. But remember do it on your own risk !

i definetely understand "on my own risk" thing whenever i fail flashing im not very experienced but hey, why are you here huh?
last question: does every custom rom support every available language?

Duuude...of course not it depends on rom, some of them yes (AOSP based roms), but most of them (based on official firmwares that are created for regional markets)...unfortunately not
Since I do not own the device I cannot tell you about turkish language support on Titanium, but I'm almost sure it does.
As long as you can boot into Download Mode and revert stock it's not a irreversible problem (even when you fail flashing). Boot loop is in most cases not a reason to panic. You may start panic when you cannot turn your device on

ok thank you guys..

i already tried that but it always stuck on boot animation, i forgot to install XXKQ2 what will i do? i cant open my samsung galaxy fit im crying now i just bought this phone from my allowance last week and now it is not openning i don't know what to help me, i just want to Deodexed XXKQ2 ROM_blacklist for G-FIT i just follow this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthre...?t=1251069 ) after i do this phone is always stock in boot animation
Sounds like a soft brick to me. If you have Cwm, when the phone boots up.poured the appropriate button to get into recovery mode before the boot animation. For example, I have to press power button plus down key at the sane time upon booting up my ATRIX 4G. From there you can flash act room possible and solve the soft boot problem.
Bear in mind that these methods are for my phone. You have to do done research to see how it works on your device. Don't worry though....soft bricks are "curable".

try this step.
Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Fit
Remove your SIM Card and SD Card, just to avoid any issues
Extract the previously downloaded firmware packaged.
Run ODIN 4.38.exe on your PC
Click the OPS button then select BENI_v1.0.ops from extracted archive and load it.
Set the Samsung Galaxy Fit into DOWNLOAD MODE (When the screen is turned on Press and Hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+OK Button simultaneously) Then Connect the device via USB into PC.
If ODIN detected and recognized the device the COMORT mapping at the left side will change to color yellow.
If all is set and ready: Press "Start" button and wait...
It will then start to Download, the flashing process may takes around ~5 minutes.
If all goes well and successful your phone should reboot automatically
A square on the left will display a "PASS" word it means that the flashing process was successful.
Once all completed, disconnect the phone. Turn off your phone, insert back your SIM Card and SD Card again.
Turn on your phone. Then confirm the new downloaded firmware version by typing **#1234#.
thanks guys for you help my phone now is working i flash a new firmware , i am fro asia(philippines) but i use other firmware is it okay? when i type **#1234#. the screen said that connection problem or invalid MMI code.

Recover a soft bricked I9003 Galaxy SL

This is for all those who have soft bricked their phone, if you are experiencing a bootloop or some other problem here is a detailed guide how to get your phone back to working condition. If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over
2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker
3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity
4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin
5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed.
6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode
7)Flash to a stock firmware
Also thanks to sakindia123 for giving me a suggestion of making a thread on this ...

Hello,
after i've updated my Galaxy S GT-I9003 with an official Rom JPKPE Gingerbread 2.3.6, and after rebooting, it stucked at bootloop, i've tried everything suggested on web and forums, and lastly your solution, with no benefit.
the problem i noticed that when i press on wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode it tells me :
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
so, is the corruption of the format volume rfs that causes the issue of bootloop
and is this a soft brick of the phone, or hard brick, could it be solved or the phone is dead?
i tried rooting it with CF-Root and bagaria.
if i converted the format to ext4, will that solve the issue.
if so, what are the steps to do that and from where can i get the software that i'll convert by
Note: i've started updating with the XXKPQ ROM putting the PIT file then i downloaded the JPKPE after i issued that problem of bootloop
another Question, is it right that i update with the PID file only knowing that i couldn't find any other files for phone and CSC for this version.
Hope any body could help me to get my phone to life again.
Thanks

Yea exactly what devilhell said. Its impossible to hardbrick your phone technically if you haven't flashed any bootloader on it.

As long as your boot partition and recovery partition is not corrupted your phone is recoverable. If boot partition is corrupt your phone will not boot. So as long as your phone boots it is recoverable.

Hi there,
i have an I9003 and it is using froyo 2.2
i intended to upgrade until gingerbread and i have chosen the KPU (latest ROM). I use mobile ODIN to flash and the bootloop issue happens.
So, to recover back, i came to here with hope to recover my I9003.
the steps i did was:
1. Download and run odin 1.8.5.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-KP7...-.tar.md5 (single file FW)
5. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
6. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
7. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
8. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
9. Click Start button to flash the files to phone.
10. Everything pass except there is 1 failure.
Now my I9003 can boot up, however with bootloop issue. What should i do now?

I had my phone i9003 flashed to a i9000 stock rom by a total mistake.
I had both pit files on my PC so I mixed up by a mistake.
Now my device is completely dead and nothing works out. Not even charging, completely unusable now.
Hardware reset, JIG's and combination keys, ODIN setups..nothing takes me to download mode.
Phone is still under warranty so afraid to JTAG.
Do you all think my phone is recoverable? Will the samsung warranty tech's will find out about the issue and won't the claim?
Please help. tried everything and now clueless.

try holding power and vol+ for at least 10 seconds, and keep holding it. or try power and volume down for 10+ seconds.
should attempt to get you into recovery or download mode.

i can go to the recovery mode and download mode..i already flash my tab in download mode and wipe data in recovery mode.but the problem still there
so what should i do?
see if you can get an adb log, you could also try Samsung Kies (2.0) It may have trouble finding device/ installing drivers; you might want to connect it in download mode. There are emergency recovery options in Kies I think, but its probably same thing as Odin. Are you sure that is the correct firmware for your device? are you familiar with Odin? possible bad flash/disconnected?/bad cable?
i recommend try flashing whatever firmware you originally had. a full stock one with .pit file would be ideal.
try sammobile.com/firmwares

Try this instructions carefully. It works for any samsung phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27043121&postcount=9
but in step 3, when it says if you weren't in GB, don't worry about it. What it is, if you change version of android (i.e. from Honeycomb to ICS and vice versa), than you need to include pitfile and repartition, as well as flashing dbdata.rfs.
Thanks buddy
I will try as u suggested
and will come back soon after flashing
thanks
still same problem please help
i tried flashing as u suggested and successfully compleated but still restarting only 1 thing improved that is now am able to switch off my tab
please guys help me dnt wanna loose my tab
and 1 more thing in odeen, where i can put dbdata file
please help
You can flash dbdata on pda field as well. Make sure you use the correct file. Before you proceed with it, can you go to recovery mode and do factory wipe? Let me know if you got any mounting error message or not after wipe.

Any solution yet? My device suddenly acting the same way when I doing Factory Reset in cmw recovery. I've try doing reflashing via odin to xxkl7 and dxkl3 with no lock, im still stuck bootlooping on first splash screen.
Something I found is that if Im flashing the rom using heimdall, it always failed on flashing the cache, with a message saying that heimdall being crash. Any advice?
continue holding vol up and power through 2 reboots, you should get recovery mode.
My device also experiences similar symptoms when formating /data. Perhaps the file system is corrupt or mild superbrickbug.
Anyways what I usually do Is Odin back to stock, when it passes it hangs at boot, reboot to recovery and factory reset/ wipe data. Should boot now.
For /cache issue. try the first step I mentioned to get into recovery and wipe /cache, actually format it too, if you have CWM Recovery. Wipe dalvik and factory reset too. Then I would try Odin to stock. And again wipe /data if stock Odin doesnt boot.
good luck.

Hi,
I also had some troubles recently and I did a lot to actually be able to boot again.
This may be a stupid question but did you really install CWM or does it boot to the standard recovery? I had some troubles installing CWM in the beginning.
My first step was to install CWM (I used TWRP) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1851548
These steps where mentioned in some thread but I cannot remember where:
1. When flashing CWM through odin untick the "Auto Reboot" option within Odin.
2. Flash CWM.
3. When done , press power & volume up ( the one apart from power button ) until the Samsung logo appears, then leave both buttons.
4. CWM will appear.
5. Choose "Reboot System now "
6. You will get a new screen with an option mentioning something like " disable flash recovery" , press it & reboot.
7. Now if you get back to pressing power & volume up you will have a permanent CWM.
I had to do a full wipe to install a new firmware and I used stock 4.1.2 DEODEXED - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909950
After the wipe I installed via CWM (TWRP) and loaded the firmware from external SDCard (it has to be FAT32 at least for mw exFat was not working).
Good luck!

Thanks so much for yiur anwser
Yes i Had success flashing CwM on odin and also I unchecked auto reboot as I said I dont know why my volume button are reversed holding volume up and power after flash it will bring me back to odin mode... very wierd and there is not problems with my tablet is only one month old no. buttons damaged
I flashed the German 4.1.1 onto my 8013. when I went back to ICS to get the official update I was stuck on Samsung logo. I had to reflash the ICS a second time and then I was all good. I didn't have CWM tho, I was rooted with the exynos exploit
If you are able to boot into CWM (and you do not have any relevant data left on that tables) do a wipe again (there are several wipe options).
Cache and Dalvik Cache wipe is very important and I also do a wipe for /system, /cache and /data.
Then try to boot into CWM and install the ROM from there. For me only the installation via SDCard worked.

Hey man,
Heres what you do.
1) Boot into download mode, and flash the stock JB
Get CWM High on Android from max at rootgalaxynote.com heres the link http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...t-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
The file you want is the root galaxy note 10.1 zip.
2) Open ODIN and flash Max's CWM high on android.
3) Reboot Recovery will work now. BUT WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR DEVICE IT WILL AUTO REBOOT, SO WHEN THE SCREEN GOES BLACK AFTER YOU SWITCH IT OFF IMMEDIATELY START HOLDING VOLUME UP PLUS POWER. WAIT FOR THE SAMSUNG Galaxy note 10.1 LOGO TO FLASH ON TWICE. LET GO OF POWER AND CONTINUE HOLDING VOLUME UP, WAIT UNTIL CWM RECOVERY STARTS!!
4) Wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache three times each in that order.
5) Reboot and wait up to 10minutes for the device to boot VOILA!!! You have your not3 back on stock JB or ICS whichever you originally flash!
Please donate if this helps and thumbs up!:good:

Getting back to stock from bootloop has been the same for years and does not need such a convoluted method as yours .
Fixed enough bootloops on multiple devices including Note 10.1
But if it works for you then use it one more method of fixing boot-loop is one more tool to save the day .

Your method doesn't work.
Convoluted by definition means too complex to follow.
In the context of successfully getting a device step by step to a working state it is the steps that are necessary for understanding. Especially for many beginners.
Convulsion is not the same as clarity. Which is lacking in your response to Manny.
Der cwm error. Reboot CWM.. Der. He mentioned being unsuccessful at getting into cwm.. derp.
You posted on a thread I made about bootloop after update check on root injected FW. You said the easy method to get out of bootloop is to flash stock FW through odin. That method doesn't work. It also shows how your opinion changed thread to thread...
Hey Guys I really appreciate both of you, If works or not I least you guys are trying to help this is cool, here is the updated news I know you guys will say it was dumb but i send it to samsung say what they say I'm 90% sure they will say I root because my odin mode was counting 30 already lol and it was saying CUSTOM , So if they denied to fix I suppouse to get it back when I get it back we will try to fix that crazy bootloop I will be back here as soon I get my Tab back but for now Thanks so much for the help
Mannt
Mate if you send to Samsung there won't be a bootloop problem... They'll probably flash the stock rom, find it doesn't work and replace the motherboard....
Depending on how nice the repair guy is it might cost $$$ or nothing...
Here's hoping you get a lenient guy....

great!!! since you can enter download mode I am gonna say you the easiest way to get your phone back in running condition..
*Download ODIN (google for the download link or search here in forums)
*Download a stock firmware from samfirmware (www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647 and extract the downloaded file to .tar.md5
*Install samsung USB drivers.
*Get your phone into Download mode and connect it to PC via usb cable.
*Open ODIN and check if the com port section and turned yellow(this means your phone is recognised by ODIN).
*Once the port section is yellow open the PDA section in ODIN and point the downloaded stock firmware in it.(the firmware file should be of format "I9003DDLF2_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5").This format is just for example and it may vary depending on the stock ROM you dowloaded.
*Click the start button.
*Once finished the ODIN com port section will turn green and should report "PASS"
*Disconnect your phone and Power on.. wait for some time as its the first boot so it will take time so be patient.

tweeks are to to edit your build.prop and CWM(ClockWorkMOD) which allows you to create a backup point which you can restore via recovery and also let you flash ROM,MOD,etc and SuperUser is the app which comes into play after rooting which give root access to your phone/apps.

To enter recovery mode you should press Volume UP+Home Button+Power Button.press it long enough till samsung logo passes by.. and even my screen fades when I try it manually... try it for 4-5 times till you enter in recovery and dont worry when screen fades,its not an issue...
maybe your kernel is not compatible with the present version of CWM and since its not compatible some features might have been disabled and its no big deal....Custom ROM is zip and should be flashed via recovery so that you can wipe data/cache/dalvik..

if you have a CWM recovery then you can go to recovery.. wipe data/cache/dalvik.. the flash rom then again wipe cache/dalvik and reboot... the first reboots always take more time so be patient
