[SOFT?] bricked my phone

hi everyone, i know that this theme is an old one but I explain what i did.
first I was on a KPQ rom then i wanted to try MIUI, installing it and everything worked, but today, since MIUI had no camera I decided to restore my old backup of the KPQ-based rom and CWM said me failed to install boot.img (or something similar)
So i decided to re-install the KPQ-based rom through CMW, it says installed but it doesn't boot
It is not stuck on samsung galaxy logo but there is no animation of booting
How can I solve?
can I solve through kies? or not?

Reflash thru Odin. Dont use kies. If you still want to try to restore the backup, Try flashing the kernel you used to backup with and restore. It should work

Only pda?
Actually I was on KPN but I've installed 2-3 KPQ roms and I had no problems
But I remember that in these roms if I typed ×#1234# it said PDA: KPQ phone: Kpn
I'm in the middle even if I've never flashed KPQ pda!

Download a stock ROM for your phone. Your exact phone ROM.. Get onto download mode after turning off anti virus...firewall...click PDA find the stock ROM that you have conveniently placed.. Select that ROM and hit start let it go till it resets your phone (possibly six to ten minutes) reboot ..clear cache if hanging at reboot..
Usually I flash CWM first then put Su.zip on my sdcard and flash root or what is SU .then you have root or super user privileges.hope you turn out all good

Downgrade Samsung galaxy S3

hello guys.
I have to downgrade from the OMEGA 16.1 JB to the V13 ICS,
does anyone know how to do this? I tried to flash the 13 above the 16.1, but the phone hangs at the loading screen.

You have to go into recovery and do a wipe/factory reset before flashing a different ROM over another ROM

Hey, so every time i install a different rom i do this. But, whenever i try to go to a rom that has ics features on it it just stays in a boot loop. Its really annoying. Right now i am running liquid JB rom. Also, i have tried flashing stock rom but heimdall always says that when i put in the .tar.md5 file that their is no firmware.xml file. Also, since i run ubuntu 12.10, i read the odin does not work properly on ubuntu and i have somewhat tried a virtualbox but have yet to install odin and the stock rom on there. If anyone can help, i know that this is a response to a downgrading thing but its still revelant. So, can anyone help?

[Solved] [Q] Help! Can't succesfully flash roms...

Hi, I just need alot of help! I've been a rogers captivate owner for a year and i've rooted, sim unlocked, flashed many, MANY roms with success. I have also soft bricked my cappy a few times but odin restored it back to stock every time where i started over.
So basically, i soft bricked my cappy, used odin to restore to stock rogers gingerbread 2.3.3 , rooted, used odin to install corn kernel and now every time i wipe data and everything in recovery and flash a rom, it says successful but when i restart, it just gets stuck at the " samsung I896 " screen and doesn't go any further. I can't go into recovery or do anything, but i can succesfuly odin back to stock gb. I've used this same procedure many times before and it always worked but not this time. The only difference there was, was that when it got soft bricked this time, I was going from MIUI JB to Paranoid Android JB instead of ics or gb custom roms.
Can anyone please please help me out here? I really hate stock samsung roms and I LOVED JB when i had it, and i really want it back! I would really appreciate anyone's help! Thankyouuu !
[EDIT] Thankyou everyone who tried to help, i figured it out and resolved the problem, the problem was i was wiping data/factory reseting in cwm which i shouldn't have been doing.

What about using Odin to flash a kernel compatible with the Paranoid Rom, then flash the Rom through that kernel's recovery...

Yeah, but paranoid android comes with its own recovery, and oh i forgot to mention, i have tried many times, and sometimes after i flash the paranoid rom, and reboot, the phone will boot but directly to recovery when i normally boot it, so i can flash the rom through its own recovery but still it just boots into recovery directly nothing else, and then i go back to stock and i've been on stock for like a month now, but im really missing paranoid androidd.

Wait i think i found the solution guys please helpp ! on stock when im about to flash the new rom, do i clear user data/ wipe data whatever it is in cwm ? Im doing that with faliure, am i not supposed to?

[Q] Bricked ... Boot loop.. Samsung Galaxy SL gt-i9003

My phone galaxy sl gt-i9003 was running was rooted and running on codename(android) when I flash some random kernel and bricked it. I then read though lots of xda-developers threads and followed whatever was said there. It goes into recovery and download mode. So i flashed the stock ROM( which i had downloaded from sammobile ). But after that it got stuck in boot loop. Then I tried flashing a few ROM suggestions given here in xda. But each time I either got back a bricked phone or boot loop problem. Help Please!!!:crying:

Hard brick or softbrick
install that firmware downloaded from samfirmware.com if they could all downloads mode or go into recovery mode then wipe data / factory reset
Or try install cwm recovery via odin

since u have screwed your along the way to get boot. you better to flash xxkpe or xxkpq with pit
and repartition is amust cause you are on ext4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

hmmp, i somehow recover on that situation by re partitioning through odin using pit from I9003DXKB2 stock rom froyo...
then flash a I9003DXKP9 gingerbread through odin also
I9003DXKB2 is my SL's original firmware since i bough it though
but might help you...
i did all those because i want my SL to run CM10 Alpha 4 jelly bean
i downloaded the stock roms from "[ROM] STOCK ROMS for GALAXY SL I9003" thread in the developers section...

yes its better to flash with xxkpe and then with xxkpq... me too experience the same problem...
follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133787
download firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647

Thank you all for replying. I solved the problem. I had forgotten to factory reset after flashing stock rom. Now its as good as new. Also I had this doubt. Is it required that you factory reset after every flash?
