Can anyone help me to bring back to live my phone, thank you.
My phone is G-i9020.

i found that ODIN was the best way to get my phone back from being bricked.
The rootboot at nexushacks also did that to my phone so dont use it.

I think the problem is that you flashed a boot image that is not compatible with your phone. First, determine if you have the I9020- A, T, or F.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031760 You need to find a post with the stock files for your model, and extract the boot.img. Then
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(If anyone else has the exact same model as him, could you do a nandroid backup and post your boot.img?)

You may need to flash your phone via adb. That's if you can't get into clockwork, there are many threads on how to do this.

[Q] A Noob who needs help fixing his bricked Galaxy S2

Hi all
Im a newbie (and a noob by the looks of it)
Based in the UK and own a S2 which has 02 firmware but is unlocked
Connected to Kies last night to update to ICS
They go and brick my phone
My question?
How do I get my S2 back up and running?
At this point I dont really mind what it is running but would prefer ICS
I have ODIN Downloded but I am not sure how to get the ROMS/Firmware
Unzip/Zip the file
And how to get it on my phone
It currently goes into the boot mode when you hold Vol Down/Power & Home key
When powered on it comes up with load emergency jargon and connect to Kies which I have done numerous times to no avail
Any help would be appreciated ;-)

Rooted?
Is the phone rooted? I've never used odin. I have used Heimdall, which is pretty much the same.

Its not rooted
Just want to get it up and running asap
Any suggestions

Here's links for branded and unbranded official firmwares.
Unbranded firmware
Branded firmware
Those threads very clearly explain what you need to do to flash official firmware using Odin. Once you've done that you should be up and running again and can take it from there.

Thanks ever so much
I have a hour free now so wish me luck ;-)
Will report back and let you know how things went

OK Rather confused
All of the info is posted as you have stated but which one do I need to do?
Their are so many their and I dont get this whole root thing!?Do I need to root first?
Or do I not root as their is no need?

No root required to flash the stock firmware.

I've gotten my GT-I9100 bricked.
Had successfully flashed Resurrection Remix ICS v2.1 ROM along with SiyahKernel v3.3.1. Everything was working fine until some suicidal impulse gripped me to format the SD card from the settings.
The phone did so, 'said restarting device', and then only the Galaxy S2 logo would appear followed by a back screen; which would flicker now and then.
It refuses to load into recovery mode; I have yet to administer the jig.
Any suggestions on how I might be able to get the phone to boot into recovery mode would be extremely appreciated.
Thanking you for your time.

[Q] Updating my flashed Galaxy Nexus

Hello!
Well, I own a Samsung Galaxy Nexus which originally were a yakjuxw but I "converted" it into an yakju. And now when Android Jelly Bean is reaching the surface I would like to know how to update because in the guide i read they said that I may have to update by flashing again.
I've also read this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20843237&postcount=1 But I don't understand anything.
I don't know what "Stock recovery", "CWM recovery" or "ADB" is and I'm having a hard time with this so I would really appreciate if someone would want to help me with a detailed guide or explanation of the words.
Pretty much anything would help, thank you!
I have installed CWM on my phone since I now know what that is and I I have also unlocked the bootloader. Thought that may help!

wat you got to do is find the stock firmware file for your phone and carrier (probably on sammobile.com). Then download odin 1.85 and put your phone into download mode. Then oin odin make sure the "re-partition" box is NOT checked and and click PDA and look for the file you have just downloaded. Then plug your phone into the pc and wait for odin to recognixe then press start.
Now you will be back to normal. Just update as you normally would now
To cack up your apps download Titanium Backup and open it then go into batch mode and backup all your apps but not your data. Then save all tbhuis on your pc and redownload it when youve updated to jellybean and put it back in the Titanium Backup folder and restore all the apps.
You should also do a NAND backup from clockwork mod which wou would have to download and put on your phone the same way mentioned in the first paragraph.
This all assuming you are rooted.
Hit thanks please

Well I haven't rooted my phone and I don't think I will in a while so that won't work. But thanks anyways!

You don't need Odin. You do need to be rooted. If you can wait 2 weeks you will get the official update.

samsung showcase HELP!!!

I apologize in advance, since I know people have asked questions similar to this already. But I am desperate for help, as I have been trying to fix my phone for 3 days now, and have not gotten anywhere!!! so here is my story/problem.
I was trying to do an update on my samsung showcase (cspire) using kies, and during the download it was interrupted somehow. The phone was bricked. (i think) so then I found something called one-click unbrick. after that i'm able to put the phone in download or recovery mode.
So i have been trying to get factory rom back on my phone. I downloaded odin3 v1.70 and v1.82 (i have tried both of these) and i have downloaded atlas 2.2 for pit and I have tried both EH09_modem_CS.TAR.MD5 and EI20.tar.md5\EI20.tar.md5. Everytime I do this odin freezes on factoryyfs.rfs.... I have tried all the tricks I can find, different usb port, diff cable, running as admin, i even download sandboxie ( someone suggested that)... I dont know if i am doing something wrong, or if it is odin... Also, i'm not rly sure about the software i'm using... I have very little experience with this kind of stuff, but i am really determined to fix this! please forgive my ignorance! TIA!!

Installed New update, soft brick. Need an official signed rom

Anyone know of, or or have a link to a factory rom (hell any rom would do at this point) that I would be able to flash with the stock S3 recovery? Just trying to unbrick my phone. Story of what happened below:
I'm running stock 4.1.1 rooted touchwiz. I wake up this morning to a notification saying I had an update on my phone. Should have definitely waited but without thinking I went ahead and updated, which of course soft bricks? The phone. (boots up, and but hangs at the 4Glte, flash screen)normally this would be an easy fix, I could Odin back to stock or something but I'm down in Mississippi till Monday for training and do not have access to my pc.
I can access the factory recovery on the phone but that's it, have no clue where CWM is. I've tried flashing some backups but the factory recovery says that it's not a signed package or whatever. Anyone have any idea how I can get this sucker booted up and running using just an android tablet?
What about reflashing CWM so I can access my backups? Could I somehow flash CWM with factory recovery?:

first of all you can't flash anything on a stock recovery hence the need of a custom recovery. Second you don't accept the OTA when rooted as it can cause the exact issue that you have. Last there isn't a way to fix your problem via another android device that I know of.

U are going to need a pc and then u will need to download Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1165122&d=1340993443 and u can get the official software from here on XDA http://hotfile.com/dl/182822657/9f6...WBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5.html this is the 4.1.1 software. Here is a link to some official pre rooted software http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436 all of these software's you can install though Odin just look up here on XDA on how to use Odin and you will be fine once your phone is up and running again then you will need to get you a custom recovery. Then you can access your backups.

He was asking if he can use an android tablet to fix his phone. He doesn't have access to PC at least until Monday it says so in his post. I wasn't even criticizing you at all. Unless he knows someone with a PC in Mississippi or someone here knows how to use one android device to flash something on another android device he sadly will have to wait until he gets home to fix his phone. You didn't do anything to be criticized for trying to help all I did was point out the info that you missed without personally attacking you making it a critique.

hey all, I've been reading , downloading etc for hours trying to get back into my GS3.. i was as usual roaming around and saw a post that said something to this effect "do ya need to get back to stock?" and figured yes i need to so i jumped in with both feet ..i had my boot loader unlocked and for some reason locked the darned thing remembering it was locked before i rooted and then i get the screen that says ie: "System software not authorized ~~~~~~~~~~~~" with a yellow triangle over it with an "!" mark in it..
all would have been ok except the line up of the way to do things was kinda outta line.. after i had locked bootloader "which is the way the GS3 came" i thought. at any rate i am now where i said i was and if i can be helped it would be appreciated.. and no repeated.. next time i'll read their whole line up first.. so help me if ya can and i am game right now for about anything ..
