help please
is there a way i can flash it to stock , i just want it running doesnt matter if i lose everything

You done something wrong or got a bad rom .
Can you get into download mode via three buttons .
If so flash stock rom via Odin with pit and repartition checked .
Choose your firmware and follow instructions to the letter.

cant get it into download or recovery mode whatsoever =/

If you know how to get into recovery mode and it fails then you need the recovery jig .

Darky's rom? i think Darky's rom wasn't available for GT-i9003 yet that's why your phone (temporary)bricked.

I9000 roms will not work on a i9003. The hardware differences are too great.

@ simmmy
Ha Ha!! Flashed that firmware too eagerly, dont you? .
Dude still there is no custom rom fo i9003
Anyway if you tried that darkys rom despite knowing that it wont work, a big thumbs up for you!! Bravo

Don't worry dude, only your pda is wiped off during the flashing process, just reflash with odin, using PDA file of may be xxkb2 only, should do the job. Happened with me once, but getting into down load mode should not be the issue, try three button combo.

[Q]how to get into Download mode after soft bricking S2 LTE (ROGERS)

Hi folks,
I've been trying to install custom Rom using Odin to support a language which is not supported with android gingerbread 2.3.5! and it failed after boot.bin...Now, I'm stuck in the Phone---!---PC screen.
I am trying to get into download mode to be able to return to stock using this
Return to stock, fix soft brick :: 11/13: Rogers TAR!
my question: Could I flash while am on "Phone---!---Pc" screen?how can I get rid of "Phone---!---Pc" screen? or should I get USB jig to force into download mode? is it the best solution to restore to stock?
any help would be greatly appreciated !

Even if your phone is shown the "Phone---!---PC" screen .. ODIN should still recognize it being attached to your computer .. My first SGS2 Skyrocket did this in which I was able to reflash back to stock using ODIN v1.85 .. however, my first SGS2 took a real crapper for some reason .. that even the USB JIG was unable to get the phone into Download Mode.
I now have a replacement in which I'm being REAL careful with .. LOL

You're safe .. put the TAR under PDA .. uncheck everything in ODIN except Reboot and let it rip.

Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". What do i do? Please and thanks

Do you have usb Jig. If no than you can make ur own. Let me find you solution to ur problem. And if you have any other device that uses micro usb than try plugging the usb cable to ur phone and see if thats gets u in dload mode.

Morning y'all... having a similar problem... I was rooted but for some reason when in Recovery I'd only get Android Recovery??? I got CWM installed using ODIN (This is the tread I used... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526) . Then I went and tried to install miuiscotland_I9100-2.1.13... said install was complete... went to reboot from CWN... and nothing.
I tried pulling battery, going into recovery, download mode, the jig... and nothing... doesn't even look like it's charging... no spark at all?
So I have no phone as it stands right now.
Any comments, suggestions, hints, tips, tricks?
Thx.

You are hard bricked. You flashed a i9100 rom over a i727 device.
Only advice I can give is drop it in the toilet if you have insurance on the phone and get a replacement, or call your carrier's warranty department and tell them your phone just stopped working (not particularly ethical and you could get caught if they figure out it was rooted, but worth a shot...).
Oh, and the other advice is NEVER flash roms meant for devices other than the Skyrocket. Roms meant for the original S2 will brick your phone.

No need for a jig here (though it is good to have one anyways). If you get the "firmware upgrade failed" screen, just plug the phone in and if Odin sees your phone you can flash the stock tar. The "failed" screen won't look like it's doing anything but after Odin finishes you will be back to stock and life will be good again.

HELP! Galaxy R Not Starting Up! :O

I was updating my Galaxy R to the STOCK Taiwan 2.3.6 rom, when there was a power cut at my place. My comp switched off, and the device did too. It gave me an error like "There was an error with the firmware update", and now it wont even start up
Even the GT-i9103 Screen wont show up.
How do i fix it? Did I lose my warranty? [I DID NOT TRY TO ROOT IT IN ANY WAY, IT WAS AN OFFICIAL ROM]
Please help?!

Do not get panic, First remove the battery and sim then replace the battery and try to switch it on and go to Download mode and flash the stock ROM...

Yeah. I tried that method. After sending bootloader.bin...My device is responding....but not properly. Nothing is visible, only light is coming from the screen when I boot it up.

You seem panicked man. CALM DOWN. Why are you trying to downgrade bootloader?
As I understand you need to unbrick your phone by entering APX and not reset the counter using USB Jig.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using XDA

Firstly tell me these things in a clear & concise manner:
- ROM & kernel that were in use before you were flashing the stock ROM?
- Did you enable/disable (tick/untick) anything in Odin by mistake other than that was in the guide ?
- Does your windows show APX driver required when connected to the PC?
- Does you handset go into the download mode after trying to unbrick it using the method mj.vikram gave you ?

No download mode on phone. Is it gone for good, then?

So, I am running MIUI, which has problems with tethering. I decided to go for the latest value pack released by samsung. As said in the thread, I repartitioned my phone, using latona.pit. Now, I was supposed to reboot and go back to download mode to install any xxkpe rom, to continue with flashing. But, my phone just show a black screen, with no info. Download mode is not working. Odin does not detect the phone either.
Any suggestions? I am trying to reflash the pit file, again to make sure, and scouring over the forums, in the meantime. Let me know, if I am missing something.

Did that. Wasn't working for a couple times, panicked, and posted here. Thought, it might have something to do with that value pack itself, so posted there too. Didn't know, two posts counted as spamming. What a way to encourage participation. Thanks a lot.
Update on issue:
Tried taking out battery and reinserting everything. Multiple restarts, and somehow got odin to detect it. Still no screen for download mode. Tried flashing the firmware, and is stuck in a boot loop now. What next?

Volume Down + Home Key + Power to get to download mode.
I use Odin to flash. I have 3.0 version, which shows blue icon on the com port, the phone is connected to, instead of yellow from older versions. To flash pit, I used the button saying pit to select pit file. Default options, that have auto-reboot, and F. Reset Time enabled. Everything else, is disabled.
Same method for flashing firmware. Only thing, I select pda option instead of pit, while selecting the file. Odin says, pass for both times, that is flashing with pit, and flashing with actual rom.
There is no download screen, one that says "Downloading target", or something like that. Earlier, it was not even getting detected in Odin, which is solved after multiple reboot. After flashing rom, it gets stuck in boot loop.
Not sure, if I should change any option in Odin, so I haven't tried that.

I've encountered such an issue with a couple of ROMs that i tried on my other device(mi-280).
Try flashing the ROM twice then try to reboot. I did clear cache and dalvik cache between 2 flashes(not sure why). Worked for me.

Phone is stuck in boot loop, so can't clear any cache. Rom is stock, so there is no CWM recovery mode. Flashing twice is good idea. Will try it out and post result soon. Also, downloading another rom. This hotfile uploading is a bit of a hit-and-miss for me, as power cuts are way too frequent here. It is possible that rom might be faulty.
Edit:
Same result. Still stuck in boot loop. Flashing twice didn't worked.

Its better to flash xxkpe firmware twice & check whether phone boot properly or not. If everything goes well then flash ddlf2 stock rom.

Downloading the same. Power cut for 3 hours made me stop it earlier. I had xxkpq earlier, which is not working. I thought xxkpq was also an official release, so it should have worked.

Don't mess with a new phone if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Now your phone is soft-bricked.
Download this (FOR GT-I8260) or this (FOR GT-I8262) stock firmware and use ODIN to flash it to your phone, as described in this post (thanks to Omkar$).
I am not responsible if you hard brick your phone.
Soft-bricking was your mistake, and there is no reason to be mad at us.
