I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. I had recently installed Cyanogenmod from CM Installer. But one day while I was flashing the stock ROM via Odin v3.09, the progress bar was stuck at factoryfs.img and later the flashing failed. On rebooting a message was displayed stating that the firmware upgrade has failed and to use Kies to solve the problem. Later the phone switched off.
After that the phone is neither booting up in recovery mode nor in normal mode. It is even not displaying the battery progress bar when charging. It also heats up drastically when it is connected to a charger or USB.
Please give me some advise on this issue so that my problem can be solved.

if the phone will not power on at all and will not go into download mode so you can try the stock again, unfortunately your phone is finished.

My phone heats up when connected to a power supply which means that it is not hard bricked. So there may be a possibility of a revival. Can you help me with it?
Try connection your phone on pc and check odin for any sign of connection!! also try if any connection Sound comes from pc
let your phone charge for about 2 hours (if there is a battery drain believe me there can be)
and then connect with pc!! if there is any sign of life!! try odin

Give us more info. What are you flashing from (FROYO or GB)? Why KG4 kernel? Are you trying to change your modem?
This.. charge your phone to full then try and enter dl mode if its not letting you in you may need a USB jig if your on a Samsung device. I'm only assuming because Odin usually uses Samsung stuff from my experience.. otherwise need a lot more info

i was following the steps from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215748. I was on stock 2.2.1 and i was trying to flash cm hybrid gb. i was also using odin.
Will your ROM load?
i loaded the md5 on pda then i started it but it got stuck and my phone powered off, that's it.
So you have a galaxy s4g? Can you get into recovery with a full battery?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
yup i have a gs4g but when i try to enter recovery the same message appears firmware upgrade fail
Will you ROM load?
nope it won't load
Even though you can't get into recovery... plug your phone in and see if ODIN recognizes it.
You should try starting ODIN again obviously with your phone plugged in. See what happens.

If you are able to get Odin to recognize your phone, i would redo the whole thing again, maybe it was just a bad flash.
If it happens again, try re-downloading the kernel, and redoing it again.
What step were you on in the guide? IF you flashing the kernel should be step 11. Sounds like your phone ran out of battery. If you plug it into the wall charger does it charge?
i was in step 11 and my phone was 80% charged before i entered download mode. When I plug in charger the same screen pops up and odin doesn't recognize it now.
are you entering DL by the battery pull method? Odin should see it that way. I've had to try a lot of times in the past to get odin to recognize the phone but it always does.
yup the battery pull method, i've tried like 6 times but no luck
plug into a different usb port on the computer. close odin reopen it and try six more times.

Plug your phone in and restart ODIN. Try it. Make sure all your settings are correct.
wow it actually recognizes my phone now lol. So what do I do now?

restart ODIN. Reread the thread you were using and check and double check the settings.
If you can boot your ROM. And still on stock. Use this thread.
Hi!
I'm new to flashing and tried to install clearRom in my P3115. The problem is that after reboot, the tablet wont start!
If I tried to connect it to the pc, drivers is nos installed / recognized and the batery logo appears but never charges. It show as is it is empty.
I can´t start it neither or access download mode or CWR mode. Odin does not recognize it neither!
Please, help! It's like dead!
Thanks a lot! :good:
Explain exactly what you did, and maybe someone can help you further. Good luck.

Thanks for the tip.
I just used Odin to flash clear Rom like explained here:
theandroidsoul cleanrom-custom-rom-for-galaxy-tab-2-10-1-guide/
Everything seems to be fine, but after restart nothing happened. I noted that if you plug the tablet to the usb port, it keeps looping the sound as when any usb is connected. Over and Over again.
It never starts, not even the Samsung logo. The only thing it does is, once plugged in, I can see the battery charge logo, but always empty.
Please, help!!
Thanks!
What kind of message do you get from Odin if you try to connect it and load a ROM? My tab was stuck also but I was able to get Odin load even when it looked like it was connecting.

Not sure, what problem you face exactly.
This is what i understand, you get a battery logo while your device starts and wont boot up right? If yes, try these steps, might help you.
1. battery logo you get in the boot thats because, you have connected USB Cable to computer/Charger.
2. Make sure you have charge in battery so that while doing below steps, would be a problem.
3. Once you find, it has a enough battery charge you can disconnect the cable safely (If not place it for a wallcharger, untill the battery logo fills up the juice and you find it as charged completly)
4. While booting Press the POWER+VOLUME DOWN for Download mode.
5. Now connect your tablet to PC which has ODIN and sufficient drivers installed,
6. ODIN should detect to flash the ROM.
7. Download extact Firmwares from Sammobile site / from XDA links, which is suitable.
Hopefully it should bootup with no issues.

Dear nagabushan, thanks for your help!
I think the problem is battery related, cause the icon never fills up. It's like it cant charge batteries! The juice never even apears!
I'll leave it plugged in to the wall for a few our, and see what is going on.
I'll be back in a few hours!

This is just a guess, but i think that there is no JTAG unit(that is just plugged to the tablet and DOWNLOAD MODE ) There is a method that can be extremely dangerous.
This method is to open the tab, take the motherboard, find the correct pins and flash JTAG. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS METHOD NEITHER DO I SUPPORT IT!
The second method is to take it to the warranty. Download mode is not accessible so they can't tell if it's rooted, custom rom or anything like that. They will either send you a new device and voilá. That's it. Or they try to fix it. Google samsung galaxy tab 2 jtag. It will help you if you prefer the first option.
i have a samsung galaxy y lit gts5302 which is fully rooted and is running on jellydroid
i had been in cwm recovery when i suddenly got up to get something but my cousin picked the phone and partitioned my sd card,not knowing that it didnt have a sd card. when i came he suddenly switched off my phone and ran. istarted my device but now it does not turn on.
plz tell me what to do and if i need to use odin tell me how to use odin

Thanks in advance

If you don't want to root:
Google for kies, samsung firmware downloader and installer.
Enter recovery do a factory reset, enter in download mode, plug your usb cable and install latest software via kies.

I am using fast cable charging maybe this is the problem
I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 that I rooted and have been using on T-Mobile. With the new T-Mobile nougat coming out yesterday I tried flashing the new update using Odin. When I tried to flash via Odin it showed failed and my phone was stuck on download mode. So I trying rebooting using the Power + Volume Down and that's when i realized that the phone has been hard bricked. I don't have anything but black screen. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Rebooting Recovery" and then black screen again. Can someone please help me unbrick this phone? Is there anyway to boot from sdcard? Any way to get into a safe mode or something like that?

What do you mean by Download mode "Does not work" ? Can you please elaborate.
Also, try to hold the download mode key combination in for like 20 seconds.

1- Waits for the battery to be empty ( if phone can be charged again )
or

If you're just faced with a black screen when you try to access download mode, try to plug it in with odin and see if it's detecting anything?
I've been in a similar situation where you are now, and by pressing the combinations for download mode for maybe 30 sec the phone restarted itself a couple of times and evetually I got download mode.
One other time I held the combination and I thought I got into download mode but my screen was still black, and just for the fun of it I plugged it into my computer and opened odin.
Odin said "Added", I flashed stock, wiped everything, restarted and it worked! I then flashed stock rom completely again for safety reasons.

Yeah tried all those. Nothing worked. Just gonna send it back to Samsung since it's covered under warranty. Thanks for the suggestions though
Just being curious, if one of those hard brick occur, and i take my phone to service, what would they do to fix my phone? is it even possible to fix it, and how much would they request you to pay?

You voided the warranty as you have rooted and tripped the E-fuse
Happened the same to me because of a xposed module. Black screen with a pulsing blue led. Someone sugested to wait for the battery to drain and then try to connect to Odin. I have not tested it.
At the time i panicked and sent it to Samsung immediately without thinking.
Good luck to you.
