This is for all those who have soft bricked their phone, if you are experiencing a bootloop or some other problem here is a detailed guide how to get your phone back to working condition. If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over
2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker
3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity
4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin
5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed.
6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode
7)Flash to a stock firmware
Also thanks to sakindia123 for giving me a suggestion of making a thread on this ...

Sent from my GT I9003 using XDA app-
Galaxy SL
CF Root
XXKPH
Cranium Rom V.3.1
All trials failed
Hello,
after i've updated my Galaxy S GT-I9003 with an official Rom JPKPE Gingerbread 2.3.6, and after rebooting, it stucked at bootloop, i've tried everything suggested on web and forums, and lastly your solution, with no benefit.
the problem i noticed that when i press on wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode it tells me :
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
so, is the corruption of the format volume rfs that causes the issue of bootloop
and is this a soft brick of the phone, or hard brick, could it be solved or the phone is dead?
i tried rooting it with CF-Root and bagaria.
if i converted the format to ext4, will that solve the issue.
if so, what are the steps to do that and from where can i get the software that i'll convert by
Note: i've started updating with the XXKPQ ROM putting the PIT file then i downloaded the JPKPE after i issued that problem of bootloop
another Question, is it right that i update with the PID file only knowing that i couldn't find any other files for phone and CSC for this version.
Hope any body could help me to get my phone to life again.
Thanks

Yea exactly what devilhell said. Its impossible to hardbrick your phone technically if you haven't flashed any bootloader on it.
Cheers

As long as your boot partition and recovery partition is not corrupted your phone is recoverable. If boot partition is corrupt your phone will not boot. So as long as your phone boots it is recoverable.

Thanks...! Really helped me!
Hi there,
i have an I9003 and it is using froyo 2.2
i intended to upgrade until gingerbread and i have chosen the KPU (latest ROM). I use mobile ODIN to flash and the bootloop issue happens.
So, to recover back, i came to here with hope to recover my I9003.
the steps i did was:
1. Download and run odin 1.8.5.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-KP7...-.tar.md5 (single file FW)
5. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
6. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
7. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
8. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
9. Click Start button to flash the files to phone.
10. Everything pass except there is 1 failure.
Now my I9003 can boot up, however with bootloop issue. What should i do now?

i9003 dead
I had my phone i9003 flashed to a i9000 stock rom by a total mistake.
I had both pit files on my PC so I mixed up by a mistake.
Now my device is completely dead and nothing works out. Not even charging, completely unusable now.
Hardware reset, JIG's and combination keys, ODIN setups..nothing takes me to download mode.
Phone is still under warranty so afraid to JTAG.
Do you all think my phone is recoverable? Will the samsung warranty tech's will find out about the issue and won't the claim?
Please help. tried everything and now clueless.

Then I switched off USB debugging mode. Made Whats App system app through Lucky Patcher and rebooted. Then again made Facebook, ChipChain (game) and Times of India App to System App without booting again and again.
Rebooted and my phone got stuck at Samsung logo. Waited for half an hour but no result.
Then applied Resen/Factory setting and rebooted but no result.
Then started Odin and applied stuck recovery and rebooted but no result.
Then Wiped Cache Data and rebutted but again stuck.
Again started odin and applied recovery and rebooted and again stuck.
Then tried to unzip which is available in my SD card but no CWM available and got some failure notice in RED.
I am not able do anything. Please help me to come out of it.

Is there any good reason to convert these apps to system?????????????????????????????
Factory reset will reset DATA (user apps) but not SYSTEM. The only way is to install TWRP, delete the converted apps via TWRP recovery file manager OR flashing a full stock firmware via ODIN.

Flash TWRP via ODIN. Start TWRP and select "advanced" --> "file manager" . Navigate to your system apps folder and delete the converted apps. Then perform a factory reset again
Here are the firmware files for your phone. Official release is Android 4.0.4. Just flash the downloaded file via ODIN. You need to pick the right "region" for your phone.
How to start TWRP ?
after installing via Odin, TWRP doesn't start !!

Maybe one of the buttons is broken or so. Sometimes it does boot to download mode, sometimes it doesnt. I managed to install a custom rom. I tried two Roms and none of them is able to boot. Both get stuck on bootanimation. I did not turn on USB debugging or allow OEM unlock in the stock rom before installing a custum rom.. May this be related to that?
Just tried a AOSP Rom (unofficial Lingue) and it booted like a charm. But Samsung Rom won´t boot. Do you guys know a solution?

if you can access to download mode .
1-flash latest your firmware
2-flash cf-autoroot again if you (flash latest marshmallow) by odin
if you flash nougat
1-flash latest twrp image for your s6 model
2-flash magisk root latest by twrp
after that you should access to stock rom

What's the difference between the firmware I flashed and this one you provided? I exclude a hardware failure because a AOSP ROM did boot.
Possible for the partition layout to be corrupted?

bro , the firmware difference between country and others , there firmware can't boot correctly if you installed on device , another firmware will boot correctly .
i don't think there are a failure on hardware cuz you can boot your device correctly and you can use it .
however , you can try flash this firmware without any problem , if also not booted you may need pit file for the firmware for Poland but first try flash without pit
if not work with you only (not boot up)
-flash firmware with this pit file together with
1-check option re-partition
2-make sure you check auto reboot and f.reset time
pit file for fimware

i flashed the Poland Firmware, same thing.
The Phone is from Germany, I would like to flash German firmware and pit if possible. Why did you exactly recommend this Poland version?
update: With the pit file flashed it doesn't boot either.

I'll flash it today when I'm home.
Yes I can, of course the stock recovery is installed now.
You need to install firmware via the 4 part binary method. Try the process below:
Download and run this:
Samfirm (on phone so having issues getting link, the software is on xda)
When you open the program, type the values given here;
Model: SM-G920F
Region: DBT
Auto: Selected
Manual: Unselected
Binary Nature: Selected
Check CRC32: Selected
Decrypt automatically: Selected
When you write and select options given above, press "Check Update" and then press "Download" to download factory firmware for your device.
Once the download has been finished, extract the zip file that you've downloaded via SamFirm.
After unzip it, download and run Odin
When you open it, press BL and select file which starts with BL from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Do the same thing for AP, CP, CSC.
When you set 4 files to Odin, connect your phone to your PC in download mode and click "Start" on Odin
Credit goes to @forumber2 foe this process, it seems to fix a lot of stock firmware flash fails.
Hi,
I'm having hard times trying to fix my tablet. Here are the specs:
Model: GT-P3100
Android: 4.2.2
Kernel: 3.0.31-CM
Cyanogenmod v.: 10.1.2-p3100
Recovery: 6.0.1.0
OEM Data Cable
The problem is: The tablet is randomly restarting. So I've tried to flash some roms (Cyanogen12, 13, STOCK Rom) via External SD Card. None of them worked. (Installation aborted, no error messages). Whenever I uninstall any app using the Android App Manager, it uninstalls but then installs again after a few seconds. I already did factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, .. and even wipe /system, /sd, .. partition didn't work. It always boots on Cyanogen with the same apps installed. Inside the '0' folder there are other folders just like an infinite loop(the same folders I have in the root folder, I have inside the '0' folder, and inside that folder, another '0' folder containing the same files.
Then I did install TWRP using Odin, the device was recognized and the PASS message appeared sucessfully. After the reboot, CWM was still installed and I couldn't load the TWRP Recovery.
Whenever I try to use Kies, a connecting message appears but never ends.
Can anybody help?
my beloved friend,
in odin options remove the Auto reboot option
then flash the twrp
( the device wont reboot)
when it goes PASS
remove the battery and put it back
press the buttons to go to twrp

Still got CWM installed...
It seems my SD is somehow write-protected. I've tried to do a "NAND erase all" but it fails after the "erase..." message.
When I connect the tablet to my Notebook, I can delete/write files. in the Internal Storage. Very weird

I've done the following steps:
1 - Turned the Tablet On in Download Mode.
2 - Unticked Auto Reboot.
3 - Selected the TWRP file in "AP".
4 - Plugged the USB Cable.
5 - Clicked on Start.
6 - Waited for the "Pass" message.
7 - Unplugged the USB Cable.
8 - Removed the battery plug.
9 - Waited 10 seconds and plugged in again.
10 - Restarted in Recovery mode.
But I still got the CWM installed.
The pictures of the procedures that I did are attached.

Yes, I'm rooted. Sadly, the tablet reboots whenever I try to install an Application (Via Playstore or Apk).
I already did try installing TWRP using ADB Shell(direcly inside the mmc block) but CWM keeps being the recovery.
Trying to do a Nand erase, I've got an error, as you can see in the attachment.

To avoid any more trouble in the future, I was sending the PIT file as well.

Mate, pit may kill your device or mess up the phone it it was lucky to boot.
To let you know, nand erase will require you to load the firmware
Please don't do an erase, lucky that your phone booted, please uncheck repartition
And band erase
You said you are having problem installing apps,
When did this happen?
After flashing pit?

No, it was included in the initial problem(random reboots), that's why I'm trying to recovery the Tab. This is my uncle's tablet, he said he didn't do anything unusual lately. The cyanogen mod was installed by a technician, a long time ago.
I'm 99% sure it's EMMC problem related, as -Hope- told me via Discord.

I would like to thanks -Hope- for all the efforts trying to revive my Tablet . I said before and I'll say again, you are a GREAT person!! Really thanks buddy!
