1. Flash with pit file alone of xxkpe with re-partition checked.
2. Then click on reset button in odin.
3. Then enter the mobile again in download mode.
4. Select four files pda, modem, csc, bootloader with re-partition unchecked and flash it.
5. Flash xxkpe once more.
6. Flash with ddkp2.
7. Wipe cache and factory reset.
got new galaxy i9003 on replacement.....
ddkp2/ext4/cwm 5

Most easier way is to factory reset before flashing a new rom. Remember wipe davick cache, after u flash too.

But you can see that after flashing a new rom it automatically factory resets, the time between the flashing done and the phone boots i.e. some process occur in phone u can see that automatically factory resetting

I was facing this same problem, not only with kp2 but even kpq bone stock with no root. I guess it's a hardware fault as even a full fresh install doesn't fix it.So my advice is to give it to the service center and let them replace the board. That's what they're doing to my phone, will get it in 2 days...

Issue Resolved
Thanks Everyone for the suggestions, Finally I have got my motherboard replaced. Its working fine now.
Thank you so much.

Yes its unacceptable that so many phones are failing at roughly about the same time... those whose phones are still running fine do run a risk of this happening to them too!

mzone1510, gugnani and dr-PHP,
I am facing the same issue with my GT-i9003 since last month... been to service centers here in Bangalore multiple times but these guys are clueless. They kept it under observation for more than 10 days in these 4 visits and promised to fix it. They dont agree to this being a hardware issue and insist that there is software fix which they are not able to explain or convince me so far.
I contacted the Samsung support and they got back to me. Yesterday they asked me to again submit my cellphone to the same service center and promised that they would fix it. I am really confused as to what steps to take now to get my phone fixed as only a month left for the warranty to expire. If this is an hardware issue, how do I get it replaced? Please advise.
Thanks,
Shyam

it may be boot loop..flash i9003 with ddkp3 and clear cache / do factory data reset... dont forget to backup

Continously mail and call the customer support and say them that it has been more than 3 times the service center cant fix the problem and ask them and force them to replace the handset... i had a similar another problem and gave it two times and recieved it without repairing the fault.. atlast i fired on them and they replaced with a brand nrw mobile.... say them that you are going to complaint the customer court...
send from gt-i9003 using android keyboard

I am facing the same problem too,
Then i send to service center and they change a new PCB(motherboard?), then this problem solved.
Now new problem arise, GPS totally no working.

Thanks Guys!. Finally they have agreed to offer a refund for the phone!

If you can go into download mode just flash xxkpe then flash yiur desired firmware.The whole guide is given in development section.As for the restart problem.If your phone restarts and factory resets(all contacts and msgs lost) frequently then its tge problem of motgerboard.in which case there is no solution other than going to samsung service centre.

i had the same problem but i've never had a restart problem... as the other members say you must go to a samsung center

ANYONE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM YOU MUST READ THIS
Hey guys, i had exactly the same problems on my phone... only my phone reboots when i leave the phone in idle for 2 weeks before completely bootlooping on the bootlogo. at first i thought it was just a software problem and i could fix it by reflashing to stock. it took one more week before doing so since i didnt have a new laptop then. but when i got my laptop, i immediately flashed to stock but the rebooting still exists. i want to tell you guys, if it still reboots even if you flash to stock, IT IS NO LONGER A SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE PROBLEM! it is a hardware defect between the motherboard and the internal sd (usb storage). if you have this problem, bring it immediately to a service center for a motherboard fix/change. the cause of the problem is by putting the phone on your jeans/shorts' pocket (specially if its slim fit/ or tight) the phone bends and then it'll break the motherboard... also an unusual cause of the promblem is that when you have an external sd exceeding 8gigabytes. yes i too am suprised. i found this out when the technician asked me how much gig my ext. sd has. they say that it is adviseable and reccomended to have a 4gig ext. sd or lower. anything else higher could damage the phone.

So you cannot even get into the bootloader?

I'm having the same problem...No bootloader...Nothing :crying:

Nexus S GT-I9020T Bricked
similar problem here. i took the batery out while the phone was booting and cant switch it on now.cant get in to fastboot mode (power + vol up).
i tried AdamOutler's UnBrickableResurrectorR40 tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1397393). it didnt detect my phone, so i made the hardware mod recomended by AdamOutler ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1566475). Now it detects the phone and it is able to load the modified SBL.But the phone still stays dead.
why dont u guys try the tool and let us know how it goes... cheers

yes，any mod can't in.

similar problem
My battery fell out while my phone was booting. (Bought a spare battery and it didn't make great contact and the phone turned on and then lost contact with the battery while it was booting.)
I've tried multiple battery pulls, charging both batteries, plugging it in and unplugging it, different chargers... Nothing works.
I bought this phone used without a warranty so I'm screwed for just taking it back to any store to get it fixed and I can't afford to buy a new phone. :/
Gonna try that Ubuntu fix when I get home but as for now I have no idea what I'm going to do to fix this phone... >_<

Reviving my bricked P500

This is my first post at XDA. I don't know if I am in the right section. Kindly move the post if required.
Problem
1) I had my Optimus One running CM9.
2) It made my phone slow. So, I flashed it back to CM7.
3) It had some problems, so i was foolish enough to move it back to Gingerbread instead of restoring to CM9.
4) This is where my phone started acting strange. It was getting into a boot loop.
5) I then tried to fix it using some tools I don't remember, but since then it has been dead.
The phone is dead. The phone won't turn on. Not even in emergency mode. No response when charger or USB is connected. It just wont turn on.
It was about 4 months ago when I bricked my phone and had lost hope. I have now known it's hard living without an android.
Please let me know how i can fix this and revive my bricked phone.
Some of you may have a good laugh reading this. But I already have tears in my eyes.:crying:
I dont remember what all i did to my phone in order to brick it. So, please help in whatever way you can.
Thanks to everyone in advance.

It's an LG phone right?.. I also agree to Repair at the service center of your phone.. I recommend that because it's hard bricked.. When I was a newbie and accidentally soft bricked my galaxy pocket (bootloop) I bring it to the samsung service center I thought it will coast some bucks but it's free, they just reformat my phone for One hour and it's now fixed.. but now I use Odin for reformatting my phone using stock firmwares..

dumeds away,
I assume you searched the forum already, but maybe you didn't try this yet:

How to get into download mode? I dont really know if it would go into download mode.

Hmm , hopes are less but lets go on with the basics .
Did you try changing the battery ?
I don't think the download mode would work either but try doing the following :
Plug in the USB cable and wait for the charging screen to come on.
Now Press and HOLD the following Keys in the same order: Return Button, Volume Down Button, and the Power Button.
Let go off all the buttons when you first see the LG logo.
Then install cm9 again with odin .
If none works then you either have to go with a new phone or maybe a simple part of the phone has become dead . If it's under warranty get it replaced / repaired .

bricked my tipo

Hi guys so i flashed cm 10 and the bootloader all was fine switched internal for eternal storage still every thing was fine tried restoring some apps it stuck at 92% for 3 hour so i rebooted phone, then gave back to wife however dont think she liked it and she told me she had restored back to factory and when her phone rebooted nothing happened i have tried hooking it up to flash tools but it wont find my phone i have tried logging in to fastboot via cmd prompt just says waiting for device no lights come on totally dead me thinks but looking for an expert to tell me hopefully different
but really think its dead it also as unlocked bootloader please help TIA

Oh it might be hard bricked.. Does it vibrate on pressing power button. Flashmode doesn't start? (green led)
And how did your wife return to stock? Flash ftf file?
Also how does device manager show the connected phone?
Sent from my ST27i

no it doesnt vibrate and no lights all she did was it was on cm10 she went into settings and restore to factory then this happened pc makes the noise when plug it in but nothing happens and device manager wont pick it up, dont even thinki can take to shop or send to sony as it has unlocked bootloader can this phone be fixed to u no bud or will it be cheaper to just buy new 1 as i honestly think this 6 week old phone is dead it doesnt do anything m8

Download stock ftf
Open flashtool first
Press power off +vol down button and connect usb quickly if flashtool recognizes
Then flash the stock ftf and research before flashing anything
And give me the built number of cm10 buicd
noob and learning
hit thanks if I helped you

it was fxp 211 and fashtool doesnt help m8 as it wont pick my phone up

Sounds hard bricked.. Try flashtool on another pc to rule out driver issue. If flashtool can't fix it, it's gotta go back to Sony.
Also try plugging it to charger for a few hrs, battery may be drained..
Sent from my ST27i

from what i have read bud sony will charge me to fix it as i have unlocked bootloader will it be cheaper to buy new phone or will it be best to send back TIA

flash again with flashtool

You will have to act lame, and not mention anything about rooting or unlock bootloader.. Tell it died under normal circumstances, like dead battery, or something weird like crashed, and on reboot it never started. Depending on how you sell it, and your country, them may not check BL (or they may not be able to) so give it a shot and be creative
And before repairing and charging you anything, they have to inform you of your warranty status, so you can decide then which is cheaper.

awesome thanks m8 i will give it a try as i got nothing to lose bud kind of hoping it needs a new phone so they dont find out but thanks for help m8

same thing happened to me.just take it to any repair center.

They check via IMEI if the bootloader is unlocked. If it is they don't touch it and they tell you to buy a new one. My tipo was dead almost two months ago. If it is possible use another battery and try to install stock firmware via flashtool. My brother has Neo V which use the same battery with tipo and my device became alive.

Hi All
Now i am happy that when i installed new battery it works fine and great. No issues till now. Checking :good: :highfive:

when I was play vainglory it reboot, then it gets into boot loop as well
I can get in download mode, how can I know whether Its battery problem or what
ps my macbook cannot flash kdz using usb 3.0 so I need to wait for my fd to lend me a laptop later this week.
How can I know whether its battery problem or not?

If anyone is facing this issue till now ... Please check the battery after a year I got same boot loop in lg logo issue if I connected the charger phone turns on so I change a original LG battery which costs around 180$ and now the phone is fine...so before anything just toss a battery from old Nokia phones and make sure if the phone turns on ....then buy a battery :good:
