[Q] Pls hept me i break my samsung galaxy sl i9003

i wanted to flash for the first time my samsung galaxy sl i9003 and now my screen is blank. i have 2.3.6 xxkpq. it doest conect to the usb...it's just blank(the screen)...pls help(...i'm verry new at this things(((

you "wanted to flash and now it's blank". that means it's blank before you tried anything which means you need to take it to the service center.
on the other hand, if you mean you tried and now it's blank, why not give us more details? what fw did you try flashing, did you lose power during flashing, etc?

if you are using ODIN try this first..:
open odin on PC
>remove battery on phone
>connect usb to PC to Phone without the battery
>then put battery back
>when the light turns on immedietly press the 3button DOWNLOAD COMBO
(VOLUME DOWN+HOMEKEY+POWER BUTTON)
>If you done it right you would end up on DOWNLOAD MODE
>then learn whats next to do in flashing FIRMWARE...
*IF THE PHONE IS STILL TURNING THE POWER ON IT DOESNT MEAN ITS TOTALLY BRICK...JUST TRY THE METHOD AND MAYBE YOU WILL BE HAPPY AGAIN*

so you've tested it yourself and confirmed the s2 kernel, recovery files, and bootloader in the thread works on our sL? if not, don't make things worse than they already are

Man I said to use method not to use S2 kernel or bootloaader from S2 use the kernel from i9003;sorry for my bad english
Its common sense to use kernel and bootloader from i9003

Listen i have a solution for you
1. Remove battery sim card and sd card.
2. Download xxkpq rom from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
3. Press vol. down + Home + power and while doing this insert your battery (you may need to people)
4. If the screen lights up u may see the download mode with android shovelling and below downloading do not turn off the target.
5. Select xxkpq rom as the pda source in odin
6. Connect your phone to your computer and see whether the ID COM section turns yellow. If it doesnt you do not have the drivers. Just install kies for the drivers
7. Hit start as soon as the id com section turns yellow
Or
Repeat the steps till step 2
Then while doing the download mode combination plug your usb in and see whether you get a phone pc screen if you do then the id com section will turn yellow and click start.
If none of them work take it to the service center but dont tell them u were up to flashing!
Hope it helps

add me on messenger sp8ky1 , maybe i could explain(in romanian)

Soft bricked I9003
Hi,
I have cynogenmod 10 on my galaxy I9003. Then i decided to go back to original firmware. Hence I flashed my phone with DDLF2_CFROOT-05-07-2012.tar .
After this i cleared cache. Now my phone is stuck in bootloop.
After that through reset button on back side of the phone, somehow i have managed to enter in Download mode and tried to change CFROOT but it is showing failed error.
tried re partition through latona_20110114.pit but now nothing is happening.
Now when i m trying to load firmware getting only <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
error.
Kindly help me !!!!

Do I need to update phone bootloader and clear EFS. IF yes how ??
Kindly suggest.

Hey mate, don't select 'update bootloader' and 'clear phone efs ' option in odin while flashing. 'Clear phone efs' will delete your phone's imei IMO.
Do clean flash. Flash XXKPE with re-partitioning and than any stock rom of your choice.
Use this guide to flash XXKPE firmware. Never flash ddlf2 rom directly coming from CM10 or any other based on CM10 rom having MTD partiotning system.

What error are u facing in Odin?

while flashing in odin I get no erros the device flashes successfully but when the device starts after flashing the screen starts blinking neither it would go into recovery nor normally boot.....no blinking of screen in downloading mode or arm9 mode

Flash froyo first(since it is a full 4pkg firmware & contains bootloader as well). Then try flashing gingerbread & see if it succeeds. I can provide u my firmware files(ddkb1 & ddkt3) which 100% work everytime I flash 'em.
If still the problem persists then there are some other issues.

I have tried flashing froyo...i dont have the one package but different files.still no luck .even tried to install the clockwork mode recovery but it isnt even entering into recovery.if u can give me the download links to your file I can try flashing them.

Install this Samsung USB Driver on pc.
Note:-
*Use Odin v4.42
*Rename ops file exactly as "BENI_v1.0.ops"(without quotes)...(might b case sensitive, so be careful)
Goto download mode by keep pressing & holding Volume Down+Home+Power Buttons together until the phone turn on in "Downloading" mode.
First, flash Galaxy Fit Froyo 2.2.1(ddkb1)
Procedure:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
BOOT: APBOOT......
PHONE: MODEM.....
PDA: CODE......
CSC: CSC......
Click "Start".:thumbup:
& then flash Galaxy Fit Gingerbread 2.3.6(ddkt3)
Procedure:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
Tick one package in Odin & place that ".tar.md5" file under One Package field.
Click "Start".:thumbup:
Additional advice: Try another pc/laptop coz in most cases USB is the major issue
*This will work for sure*:thumbup:
However, if unfortunately none of these work for u, then give it to service center...only way left...

ok I will give it a try once again .....and do u think that there may be some other issues lyk some hardware part faliure....

If the Download Mode is stable, there's no failure on phone's side. Our Fit's hardware never failed for such circumstances.Hence, pc is the main issue.
I think that all kinds of wrongs are easily recovered if Download Mode still exists on the phone(some ppl have their phone blinking in Download Mode...which is bad).
& 1 more thing... those care takers will definitely tell u that u need to replace ur motherboard(even if its alright) which isn't a good deal IMO.

hey I tried it your way but the same problem.....i think I have to visit the customer care and see if they can hook up to something...and I thing it would be wise going for a new cell if they say to change the motherboard....and thanks for your help bro.....

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue on GALAXY GEAR

My galaxy gear is showing the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" screen. Is there anyway to recover from this? Neither Kies 3 nor Kies 2.6 is recognizing my device
.

Same here Odin doesn't do anything either. Has anyone else fixed this? Thanks!

About which Gear are you talking:
Gear 1, Gear 2 or Gear 2 Neo ?

Gear 1 . . . just downloaded an older firmware 4.2.2 and it installed using Odin 3 v185 so all good now

This didn't work for me. I used Odin3.07 and 4.2.2 stock ROM to flash first - I used PHONE option because the others didn't work (no progress in the message window). This 'faulty' flash came up with a 'UI stopped working error' when the Gear rebooted but I was able to get it into download mode now. I then used Odin 3.09 and the flashed the 4.2.2 as a PIT which worked fine!
Got there after reading through a lot of XDA threads and trying many things. But in the end, the answers were here. Thanks.
PS how I got into the mess (the firmware error message with the yellow triangle)? I was on null 23 and wanted to go back to stock rom so that I could sell the Gear. Couldn't get into download mode for Odin 3.09; I can't exactly remember what I did but I disconnected the gear midway through a seemingly failed flash and it got me to the error. Googling says use Kies but nope, it wouldn't recognise the gear even for the 'emergency firmware'. I tried a lot of things, and wasted a lot of time!

Worked perfectly, THANK YOU! After a few failed attempts at flashing my Gear I thought it was doomed, luckily after flashing the stock ROM back to it as you described I was successful at flashing the Tizen ROM. Thanks for your help!!

You're welcome. Glad to be of help.

I'm also having this issue.
can you share how to get odin recognise the gear, because now it's only showing yellow triangle with error text, and i cannot perform the step to go to download or recovery mode.
when i do long press on the gear it's only go black screen for awhile then back to error with yellow triangle.
thank you for the reply.
Update:

I just ticked the PIT box and browsed to the ROM file. Using the older Odin, that got me past the error message.
I think there are so many variables, we've probably tried many different combination of things. I'm just describing what worked for me, I can't promise it'll work for anybody else. Just wanted to put it out there so that it may help someone.

This worked for me
youtube{dot}com{slash}watch?v=fS4878klPAQ[ ( i cant post links yet so you will have to fix up the url or youtube search "How to UnBrick Galaxy Gear"
You must down load his rom to start of with after that you should be right to upgrade with Kies to tizen then to tizenmod if wanted or just load Null or what ever but this should unbrick the little [email protected]#$%^&*. Wish you luck

That doesn't make any sense. Odin 3.09 asks for either a .pit file or an .xml file if you choose PIT.

How do you perform the null flash twrp? Could you give step by step guide. I got Odin 3 v18 too. firmware ready.

HELP! Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue! GT-P3100

I searched most of the web for a week now, trying to figure out how to fix my Tablet on this nightmare.
so before it all began, i left my Tablet charging in midnight, left it in stand-by mode for 12 hours (yes i slept for 12 hours). when i woke up, it was on shutdown mode. i don't know why, i tried opening it, but it was stuck on Samsung Logo for nearly 2 mins. then i tried re-restart it again, and then i was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0". I can charge my Tab and it only has 80% battery for some reason. and so i asked someone from Yahoo Ask about how to fix this problem, i couldn't go to Recovery mode or start my tab, but everytime i try, it'll only get stuck at "Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0". Now, this guy said i should download a custom os or firmware or smth. (Forgot). and then i downloaded Odin, and a Firmware. for my GT-P3100.
I know i made a mistake, since i wanted to already fix my problem, i went to try anything i didn't actually know of. Now i have a problem, I didn't listen to "Don't turn off target" thing, and i shutdown my tab in the middle of using Odin, since most of the tries failed, Now i got the Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue.
I Tried using Samsung Kies to fix the issue, but it'll only get stuck on Connecting... i tried reinstalling the Drivers but nothing happened, then i uninstalled Kies. and then i download firmwares that might help me with my problem. but most of them failed.
i have 2 Firmware Stock for GT-P3100 Philippines. I really want to get my tab fixed already without a technician repairing it for me. so can you guys help?
I'm about to Download and try Jellybean Firmware, I Don't know anything about this problem nor these firmware. since i couldn't connect to Kies, i only tried fixing it on Odin.
Most of the Firmwares i tried failed. and every time i want to find some thread with the same problem as mine, i couldn't find anything.
i tried everything and it still wont work.

GT=N8000 is not booting , stuck at downloading mode

hi
i am trying to get this thing on , but it keep showing me "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen , nothing else
tried to hard reset , so i pressed power+ vol up and asked me to restart or continue
so i continue , and i am stuck at a creen showing me android logo with "Downloading... do not turn off target!!"
its been like this for 4-5 hours
there is something written in the upper left corner
ODIN MODE
product name : GT-N8000
custom binary download : No
current binary : Samsung official
system status : Official

any help please ?

Be more spesific. What was the last thing you've done before that issue?
Btw, maybe it's time to use ODIN and install some rom. There are plenty of "flashing" guides in this forum and on internet. Please feel free to google: "how to flash on n8000 with ODIN". If you have any more trouble, question or something like it feel free to ask. Just be sure you mentioned me in your question so I can now there is a question that asked to me.
Have a nice day.
Edit: I found my answer too hard to understand so here is some hints:
You should search for "how to use odin".
You should download a firmware that corresponds to your tablet. (THIS IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU WON'T BE CAREFUL YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE)
There are plenty of guides that explains how to flash a firmware to a samsung phone. Don't worry, that way is effective for almost every samsung device (except for the new ones) and will be succesfull for your n8000 too!

the tablet is not mine , my niece was using it
it was running good until several days and stopped working
when i go to download mode , it keep restarting for ever
i went to some local shop in my area and they said they can't fix it ( maybe its a hardware issue ? )

If there is a boot loop it is more likely being a software issue but I was wrong before too. So did you tried to flash a rom?

installed kies , but the logo keep running on my desktop
ok , now my niece told me there is some important files and photos on it
how to restore those files without formatting ?
i can't even access to the device , and no microSD card

Just install the firmware. That's the only way you can open up your files with the resources you have. If it's that important, I strongly suggest you to go to a Samsung service and tell them your story. If you want to do it yourself, search for: installing custom recovery, installing rom. When you switch between different roms you don't have to format your data but I can't remember the case with the Odin.

Hi, i have the same problem.
I have a galaxy note 10.1 2013. It originally had ics. I updated my software in the middle of this year.
Today, my tab worked fine, as it usually, does. I placed it in my bag at 5:30 pm after playing and surfing the internet. At 11pm, i took it out and it was a bit hot and it seemed to be stuck at the screen where it says "samsung galaxy note 10.1".
I tried to restart my tab but it still remains stuck in the same screen. When i plugged it in, it shows that im charging. But when i start it up, its still stuck in the same screen.
When i pressed the power button and the volume up button, it gets to this screen which says
Warning!! (Blahblah something about custom os blahblah) volume up: continue volume down: cancel(restart phone)
What do i do? I didnt do anything weird or different today than i would have any other day.
Please, i need your help. Thank you!
