I killed the phone! please help!! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

HELPPPP!!! I FU**ed my SGS2!!!
I've flashed a lot of phones(the last one a year ago) but never with odin. The whole point is that I've rooted the phone, open odin (didnt know how to install the kernel) so I download CWM5. In the odin menus I've choose the CWM5 and click flash... I DONT KNOW WHY I DID THAT :S
Now the phone goes through the Samsung i9100 black and withe screen and then goes completly BLACK!
Any help please!!!!! I work with it! :'(

I did the same thing a few days ago. As long as you have your current rom downloaded on your computer you can put your phone in ODIN mode (power + vol down), start ODIN on computer, plug in phone. Once ODIN sees your phone click start. Since right now you can't see anything on your phone due to the kernel, redoing it will straighten you out.
I fixed mine this way and haven't messed with the kernel since.
Tappin' from my SGP 5.0

The thing is that I cant eter odin recovery mode
I have CWMR5.... I try with (vol up + power btn + central btn). And the CWMR5 is there.
Another thing is that I dont have a bootloader lower than lph
I cant install another rom
So.. I'm stuck here
any ideas??

simple!!!
well u can simply flash the rom to stock one by putting it in download mode and after that selecting the stock rom in the pda
after that u need root as well deoxidise the rom so that rom could be properly installed!!!

Maybe this will help:

Thanks people!
I've finally placed a CM9 rom in the flash memory and installed it with google apps.
Clear cache
wipe data
clear davik(or something)
and reboot...
I've lost all my work postits but I got my phone back!
and with 4.0.4
Thanks guys!! all of you for your time answering!

I'm happy you got your phone working again!!!! I was crushed when I thought I killed mine too.

or in other place.... damn ;/ and i dont know what to do
P.S NOW BETTER after official KIES update my phone keeps restarting at Samsung logo again and again ?! Guys i need ur help
Are u using any custom kernel?
Cheers
Sent from my GT-i9003 powered by MIUI
No i didnt, official kies. I just was installed that root file at ODIN and everythink works perfect.. But now my phone restart at SAMSUNG logo and this phone is not mine... Jesus.... any ideas what can it be?
yeah so i found how to wipe format data in recovery i'v done and my phone now on, i dont see any restarts right we will see later
actually xxkpu is an official kies firmware... but anyway...
I reset my phone, it worked for about 2 hours then started rebooting (and looping over samsung logo). what the hell should i do now?
Go to recovery mode by clicking 3 buttons and wipe cache or something like that i think
I already experienced this. On every restart, did your contacts and messages got deleted? If thats the case then it a hardware failure.
Flashing different rom wont work either.
Your only option is to bring it back to Samsung Serive Center and have it repaired or replaced.

Backup all your data before you do this.
Go to recovery (by pressing Volume up + Home button and hold the power button) . In the recovery menu try doing a factory reset and wipe cache and Dalvik cache. if it doesnt help then download other official rom (XXKPQ or DDKP3) and flash it through Odin.

HELP! Did I just make my phone a $600 brick??

I just got a new Verizon S3 about a week ago and a few days ago I followed the instructions in the Original development section to install the CM10 nighties. Everything was working great but just a little bit ago I tried to upgrade to the newest build through the clockworkmod rom manager that was installed with cm10 but now when I restart the phone just constantly boot loops. It shows the samsung screen followed by samsung screen (but with booting recovery at the top) and finally the android dude for a few secs then just repeats! How do I fix my phone! Or did I F**K myself good?

Can you get into recovery (volume up + home + power) to try flashing a previous rom download or restore a backup? If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to Odin your way back to stock or stock.root66 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)

Ok I was able to get into recovery. I tried restoring a backup but that did not help I am now going to try and re install the downloaded rom. I might just odin back to stock I don't know if my nerves can handle the stress of this mod thing.
I tried installing from downloaded rom and that did not work ether. I down loaded the odin and the Samsung drivers but the drivers don't seem to be installing right. The phone shows up under devices and printers but has an ! on it. I tried telling it to update the driver by had but I got this error:
Code:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP DEVICE
This device cannot start (Code 10)
I have the device booted in to recovery ClockworkMod Recovery because thats the only place I can get it with out it continually restarting. (I thought that the Recovery I had was called K-exec or somthing? It looks the same I think though so I am not sure. Is that what broke my system did I break somthing my flashing ClockWorkMod recovery over K-exec? Can I fix that from clockWorkMod Recovery. HELP

Odin is a PC program. You need to go into download mode to connect to it and flash back to stock.

I don't think I can get into download mode(If thats the thing with the yellow triangle) you do that with (vol up+power+home) right. Then I press that combo I go to ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.8. I think I have tried most all the options from there.

Ok never mind download mod is down arrow. I read the web page wrong. Whats more is I was able to install drivers once I entered download mode so it looks like I might be alright. I am downloding stock rom now and will update you all soon. Thanks for your help and patience with my n00bness
actually download mode is hold volume down +home (button on the front in center) + power till the screen shows download mode

Probably true or at least I should have done my homework first.
we all learn somewhere. funny how thought of a brick gets people researching more than they normally would, right? lol, all been there
Upgrade your recovery from cwm touch to cwm 6.whatever.it.is. Cwm touch is buggy. I don't know how exactly you do that if it's not booting to the rom but maybe this can help point you down the right path.

Downside of all the one click this and one click that. You should be required to root at least once using odin and adb before having access to the one click tools as you may end up needing those down the road.

If you really don't wanna take the risk you can just delete it all with Titanium Backup. But hey, if you really want to, go right ahead. Just do a little more research before you jump in. We've all been there, though, so don't feel stupid.

Bootloop. Please help! RemICS JB

Hi! Today i tried to update the i9003L of my brother's girlfriend. Ive gad RemICS 4.0.4, wiped data and then flashed RemICS JB. But when its mostly complete, the phone goes off and then automatically turned on. I get a bootloop at the animation. I cant even enter to recovery and flash gapps but still can i enter to the download mode. So i've downloaded a 2.3.6 gingerbread (i dont remember the buold but it starts with UB, from argentina my country) and flashed from odin, it says flash and the phone reboots, but i still have the bootloop problem in samsung logo animation. I dont think i ve messed the sd card because when i flashed the stock rom apears a yellow letters saying wiping data and wiping cache, and i didnt have any error (i guess). I cant enter stock recovery because when i press the vol up home and power button the screen fades to black and then reboots. Please help me, tomorrow i will flash cf root to see whats happening and if my sd card isnt f*cked up i will flash RemICS 4.0.4 again. Thats correct or i need to go back froyo? Please help! Sorry my bad english
You should have noticed that i9003L is not same as i9003, they didn't share same firmware if I'm not mistaken as I found different official firmware for both.
Hey? Sorry but its my first time hearing i9003L and googled it. I think its i9003 our phone. Hold volume first, then HOME button, then last the power. If it reboots to recovery, ur just fine.
Found some information about i9003L in Chile Samsung website.
Based on the site, it's called Samsung Galaxy S Latona
The specs are the same but I'm not sure you can directly flash i9003 rom without some modification.
You can try flashing with kpe+pit first if you can enter download mode.
Beware that in our rom, the build prop stated i9003, I'm not sure whether it will cause trouble in your phone.

I9003 use latona. Also googled it, its the same as our device.
Okay, about the fade to black when opening stock recovery,
After holding the power+home+vol up, when the phone boots, you have to release the power button but don't release the two buttons yet until the recovery is opened.

Open the recovery using steps I said just now, wipe data/cache.
Download firmware XXKPE.
Use Odin v1.8x (not odin 4.x), place latona.pit as pit file, tick the check box repartition. place phone in download mode and plug it in. Start the flash.
After it says pass, unplug and remove battery and place the battery back.
Plug it back in download mode,
Put other files of KPE (Phone, Pda, Boot) and flash. The phone reboots itself.
Also using Odin,
place the Gingerbread firmware on PDA, put the phone in download mode, connect to pc and press start. After a while the yellow/green(whatever color it is) square in odin will show "PASS" and the phone reboots itself. You can unplug the phone.
Poof! The phone is now functional.

Hi! Thanks! i fixed the phone (uff...), first i tried to go to stock GB, flashed ok and ODIN sayed "PASS", but i have a bootloop again, so flashed CF-Root and i have the screen fading to black again, but, thanks for the advice, ive pressed Power, Home and volume up, and then stop pressing Power, and then the recovery appears!! Wiped everything and i've flashed the RemICS 4.0.4, rebooted and works! i cant belive the phone is working again!. Thanks for the support.
And yes, the i9003L and i9003 are the same phone, the "L" means it has a diferent modem, but the specs are the same and their roms are also the same. Also The L or Latona is for "Latin America"/Latinoamérica. So thanks again and sorry for my bad english!

Try reflash original HC firmware. For me worked
yep, best bet is to reflash with original HC then format/wipe using default wiper in the recovery menu.
I also tried flashing an official ICS directly to a bootloop stricken device and it works too
Bootloop Problem
hi guys..
My P6800 also experienced this boot loop last week. My firmware is stock ICS non-rooted. I dont want to wipe data while in ICS so I reflashed my tab with stock Honeycomb using Odin. But after flashing, the tab was still stuck at the Samsung logo. I wanted to wipe data in recovery but when I press the Power + Volume Up button, the screen initially goes to the recovery screen for a few seconds and displays:
#MANUAL MODE#
Updating application...
then after a few seconds, the tab will reboot again and will be stuck at the Samsung Logo. I dont know what to do anymore. Im still able to go to the download mode though. (Power + Volume down)
Any suggestions?
Also now im not able to turn off the tab. Its still stuck at the Samsung logo. And when I try to plug and remove the charger, the tab is stuck at the battery symbol.
Help please..

Getting to download mode is all the USB jig does. U can get it with out one. I believe if u hold down volume and plug in cable. Its something like that I forget. And a return to stock using heimdall or Odin should fix anything

i have a similar problem myself. I rooted my infuse it has cwm9 and ics. but for some reason the phone cuts off and starts boot looping. i cant get it in download mode or recovery. took the battery out put it back in and its starts doing it without touching the power button. ive beat and banged on it still nothing but the loop. this is the longest it has done it, usually it would quit after a few minutes but its going on 24 hours now. any help would be awesome!!!
Try holding the volume up and the volume down (but not the power button) with the USB plug already in the phone and hooked up to the computer and then insert the battery. If you don't get into download then you either need a jig or have a power button problem.

i am now that the point of believing that my infuse is un-brick-able, so I am writing down my instruction as a noob for you
A/ Preparation in your computer:
1. Install/Update Java (http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp) and Get the driver for the Samsung ready (download and install Kies software at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I997ZKAATT)
2. download Heimdall One-Click Back-To-Stock UCKJ4 + Easy CWM install at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381 (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
3. Download SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar (maybe put it right there in the desktop)
4. Download: CM-9-20120620 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601844
5. Download: CWM-community-kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1119598
6. Download a rom and gapps ( i use the AvatarROM and Gapps from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174227)
*connect your phone to the computer and copy and paste the 4, 5, 6 items into your sd card
* i am not so sure where you are at, but maybe you don't need flash the cm-9
what you need to do:
a. pull out the battery, put it back on, holding down both the volume buttons while plug in the use cord, the other end of the usb already plug in the computer, that would put you to the download mode
b. by now your computer would be noticing the phone is connected, you then click the Heimdall at 2 above to turn it on (read that thread so you can know what to expect) if you have the drive and the phone is really connected, then, you can click "flash" and the Heimdall will do it job - don't do anything the phone will be rebooting itself back to stock (in the thread, the dev. said you might need to flash two times, but in my case, I only did once and it worked right away)
c. be happy with result for a while, then you put the phone back to download mode and flash the Entropy Heimdall at 3 above, your phone will get the red recovery if things go the way it should
d. then you wipe everything (maybe no need but whatever... after bricking your phone, it doesn't hurt to spend a min. to do this), 2 wipes at the main red recovery and then go to advance and wipe advik catch and battery state .. i would do every wipe 2 times ... and also select the "fix permissions" in there too
e. then you flash the cwm community kernel at (5) assuming that you already put it in the sd card of your phone (if not, then you choose the option from the the red recovery "connect as usb drive, your computer wil read the phone and allow you to copy and paste - i must say here that I tried this step a few times in order to make it work, i even reboot my computer)
then you flash the ROM and Gapps that you want to (assuming that you already put them in the sd card of the phone)
if jellybean didn't go through then maybe you should try the cm-9 first ...
be patient, very patient if things to the way it should, your phone will reboot a few times and recovery will change its color ... and you will get to the ROM you want
while you are waiting for those reboots, take time to read at least the first 3 pages of the threads that I put the links above to learn about the problems and what to expect
don't panic very much it will led to bad decision
your phone will be fine as XDA dev. have spent a great deal of time, energy, thoughts on the infuse
once again, hope you understand my noob instruction and esl writing
you phone will be working again
Thanks but I didn't needed these. I may not be a pro but definitely not a noob. I was only responding to the previous comment.
