sounds like a bad flash, are you able to get into download mode? i would recommend if your able to get into download mode, you should download your firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ make sure its your GT-I9100P model only, download odin and flash that zip you get from sammobile. make sure re-partition is unchecked, normally it is but be careful. if you get stuck please be sure to reply back.

Sammobile does have the firmware,i saw it myself, its a little tricky you have to go down about half way of the page to the checker and look through the long list of models, not entering your model number. from there choose your country, im guessing orange is Canada or the UK? France as-well has it.

cool hope all goes well! remember, its a simple and easy task, make sure you have samsung usb drivers installed, download odin (from that download page there should be a download for odin) plug in your device, when one of the little boxs towards the top right is green, hit pda and click start, make sure re-partition is not checked and wait about around 5-10min and your device should be back to samsungs stock 4.1.2 build for the device.

You also need to flash the pit file. If you follow the instructions in this thread, it will tell you exactly what to do. You don't use Odin to install CWM, btw.
Phidelt82 is correct.
Start with that thread. That will get you back to stock.
Then this thread. How to Mod My MEZ. That will get you started from Stock to get Rooted and install CWM and then its your choice of ROM and Theme if you choose.
please please please.. read. read and read everything twice. go slow and have patience.
And ask questions. I do not get a chance to post so much at the moment but always willing to help where I can if I can.
now my phone can not to work。I press step by step, and now my phone finish except call 911, any other phone cannot dial, what reason be?

Just cool down. Your phone is booting. It works. I don't work for USCC so I'm not exactly sure how it works but I don't know if you would have to activate it again. I suggest you take the phone to the store and tell them it stopped working. They will probably get it all fixed up for you there. Since it's stock right now you shouldn't have any problems (=
PS: In the future, don't dial 911 to 'test' whether you phone works or not.. 0_o

Woah, what do you mean you don't use Odin to install CWM? The newb guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931169
says "
1.Shut phone off, pull battery out and leave it out.
2.Run odin (assuming you have it installed)
3.Load the cwm-recovery-all.tar file into the PDA spot"
And i've read like 15 other how tos that all say the same thing. That sounds like you install CWM with odin.

[Q] T959W Opens To CWM Based Recovery Mode Everytime

I'm a noob but I'd been trying my best understanding to ROOT T959W, I'd followed the steps as described in one of the forums here using odin 1.7 and stock+Voodoo-T959VKJ1.tar and the update in sdcard but unfortunately I don't understand, no matter what i do, when the phone turns on it shows the Recovery mode, I'm however able to boot into the downlod mode and my phone is detectable.
The phone was I guess bricked onetime but i'd used oneclick unbrick and it went back fine.
Please help me to at least get it to a running state not necessarily root.
I don't know if this is right, what should i do next ? Flash the rom CM9 ? or have i messed up ? :S
THANKS A TON!
Attached is a preview.
It seems a little odd. Did you clear everything and not flash a rom?

So you have the "W" phone from Wind and you flashed the bootloader? I can clearly see the Tmobile logo, which shouldn't be on a Wind phone. Just hold on, don't flash anything else and give a few, I'm working with bhundven at this very moment to try and dump my bootloader. Your phone still turns on, there is hope but the more you start clicking all over, etc the more damage you can do, so please wait.

Sure, I will be waiting, Yes it shows the Tmobile logo and when I connect it to Odinv1.85 it tells me this phone is T959V but infact its a wind mobile.

The T959V in odin is just a label in the ini file in the same directory.
You can change that to say anything you want.
I really recommend taking the time now to remove odin, and it's drivers, and install heimdall.
Look around in the wiki for help on that one.

Me and Brian are working on it. He had to go out for a bit, so waiting for him to get back on IRC and I'm testing it and risking bricking my phone for the good of the 959W users, so please be patient until we have a test package that can restore the bootloaders, param's, everything full for a "W" model. I found a very complicated work around to get out of the loop but I rather wait till we have the 1 click tested and it's easier to use and do.
For now, the standard 1 click should get you back to stock, just don't flash the bootloader at all.

Glad I was able to help but I couldn't have done any of this with the guidance of bhundven and others from Team Acid. Hopefully I'll have the true stock modem our phone came with soon, full stock recovery, etc and be able to put out a full package to help people who are bricked or want to go back to stock.

[Q] status of my phone

i had tried to install a custom rom and my phone is not starting in either way
it is neither starting in download mode ; the normal on nor in the recovery mode
i have already done this rooting and i am not new to installing custom rom in my device i.e. SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE.
i have also tried to boot it by using usb jig but it failed.
so guys do u have any idea how i can get my phone back or is it bricked for ever.
please share ur views.
Can you link the ROM you flashed?
If you take out the battery then put it back in, then turn it on (or attempt to), does it do anything at all? Vibrate, flash something, anything?
If you plug it in to your computer, does it recognize anything as plugged in, even just a driver?

Oh, I didn't actually watch the video, I assumed "unbrick" had something to do with maybe not being able to access Download Mode.
Something crazy, are you sure your battery is in correctly, and are any of the pins that connect to the battery from the phone bent?

Sounds hard bricked to me, let me see if someone with more knowledge on that phone has better insight.
It does sound like its hard bricked.
If usb jig didn't work for you, then only Samsung can fix it for you.
As for warranty, depending on what reason you give them for the "sudden death" of your phone, you might be able to claim it.
Your phone's hard bricked. Get it repaired in the service center!

They might honor the warranty without having to "have" anything, just ask them. I have no idea how much they'll charge.
Motherboard replacement - anywhere around 2500INR
Approx 50USD.
There's one last thing to try.
JTAG. If you don't know how to do it, ask these guys if they can help you with your phone. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
They're very good and trustworthy, and their service is great.
It may not start in Download mode, but I'm quite sure a JTAG is still in point. If it doesn't boot into Download mode, it means bl.bin got messed up, which is something unusual since only Samsung code/flashable through ODIN can change that file.

You will have to send it to them and it will cost money. It's not something you can get a guide to do - they need to hook up hardware to the phone and that hardware is more expensive than paying them to do it, and not a "do it yourself" kind of thing.
You could search for JTAG repair in your country. Shipping might not be too bad in a small pre-paid USPS PMI box if you have access to that - I sent a small box to Russia for $13 USD

It seems that the 4.2.2 update didn't roll out on my country..
and i dont want to root my phone coz im scared to make a mistake and end up with a brick phone..

Yes it'd brick it if you mess up.
But according to what I experience. I don't think you'd brick it if you keep your phone plugged without doing anything to it. Dude, chill. It won't do any damage
Odin v3.04 is what I prefer. Google it.

google odin like bro brian said. afterward it's all straight forward process,and yes,you don't need to be rooted.
off ur phone>press power+home+vol down, then when download mode comes,press vol up to confirm.
then open your odin,makes sure repartition untick(default shoud be unticked),select your firmware via PDA,connect your phone(make sure u installed samsung driver to be detected),see the blue light,then can click start and wait till it's green light and reboot itself.
don't take all my word for it,search some info in general section before you flash it,if you done everything properly,it shouldn't be any problem.

dude no offence but...just believe in us
3.04 is working flawlessly
a firmware for a specific country means the default language is set that way, and English is definitely included.
if you follow the outside link, i'm not saying there'd definitely be errors, but it's better to follow instructions given by us
download odin 3.04
download the firmware
put your phone into download mode
kill all KIES process (your computer)
Run odin as admin
connect phone to PC
choose your firmware on the tab: PDA
click start
wait until it reboots
DONE

dude no offence but...just believe in us
3.04 is working flawlessly
a firmware for a specific country means the default language is set that way, and English is definitely included.
if you follow the outside link, i'm not saying there'd definitely be errors, but it's better to follow instructions given by us
download odin 3.04
download the firmware
put your phone into download mode
kill all KIES process (your computer)
Run odin as admin
connect phone to PC
choose your firmware on the tab: PDA
click start
wait until it reboots
DONE

Connect your phone when it's still turned on. Drivers should install now automatically. Which you don't have to click anything and it'd install something. Then when it says it's fully done. Boot to download mode.
Connect it but don't open Odin first. It will install some drivers again. Also automatically. When it's done. Right click on the Odin icon. Choose run as admin (window 7 or up).
If it says connected.
Choose your firmware and click start.
Before you click anything relating to starting the process in Odin. Even if you were in the download mode. If you weren't flashing anything yet, it's gonna be okay
Hope I helped.
If you need any further help. Keep asking. It's fine to answer

that requires root right??

Messed up phone.

When I try to start up my phone I get a screen like the ones you see on broken TVs where it's kind of a fuzzy mess and normally end up on the kernel panic thing. I can't get my phone into recovery mode or anything. I rooted my phone a while back and accidentally lost it through an unroot tool, ever since my phone has been unstable but now this has completely ruined it. If someone could shed some light on how to fix it that would be perfect, thank you.

Download the patched ODIN from somwhere on this forum.
Goto Download mode. Connect to PC. Open up Odin, select the appropriate files and flash.
Am at work so keeping this short. Will post a detailed process later if required.

Edit 2: Never mind, phone is still ****ed the same amount.
