UPDATE (30.05.11):
My phone starts up, but then hangs after some secounds. It started happend without me doing anything(I ofcourse had rooted my phone, but that was days earlier)
I have tried to flash Samsung KE7 firmware, with and without .PIT file, I have tried Villianrom v1.1 and I also tried to enter recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Nothing seems to help, the phone still doesnt work.
I ordered a USB jig so I can reset the counter before I try to get it on warranty.
But before I do that, is there something else I can try?
Is my really phone defect?
What is samsung policy when you have flashed custom roms?

You saved the original firmware ???
Or do you know what your original firmware was . Probably WKDD

Flash back to that but i would wager you are doing something wrong .
Did you extract the tar file I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1
from the zipped file first guess .
jje
Im flashing I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1.tar
And it flashes successfully. But when one flash like this it doesnt delete everyting.
Still having issues with my phone, its hangs on boot, or right after, when I try to enter my gmail acount.
Tried flashing it with PDA : I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar
and pit file u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
DON'T use the pit file, only put the firmware in PDA and then press start.
I had the same Problem, just like you. I forgot to wipe the cache/data in the bootloader, thats why it goes in a boot loop.
first you have to go into the bootloader(shutdown phone, and then press home+volume up+power button). then once you are in the bootloader, wipe the data/factory reset, and then wipe the cache.
after you have done that, you can flash a new rom.
I tried that earlier aswell. But I can try again with the new firmware I downloaded.
This is what I tried now:
Enter rec mode (Power + Volume UP + enter)
wipe the data/factory reset
wipe the cache
Battery inn and out
Enter Flash mode (Power + Volume down + Enter)
Flashed I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar with Odin3 v1.85 with only "Auto reboot", "F. Reset time" and PDA file checked.
After the flash, the phone reboots and Lock up on the "S" logo with "Samsung galaxy s II" underneath.
Waited 5 minutes, still locked on the same screen.
Turn the phone off and on, and it lockup where I input sim pin code.
I again turn the phone off and on an it locked up at the "Touch the android to begin, even before I get asked to enter pin..
I turn of and on the phone, And I get to the point where I can am asked to enter google infomation, and then the phone reboots itself and lockups on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-9100" logo.
Tried to enter Enter rec mode (Power + Volume UP + enter) and wipe out everything again, and reboot. But the system still hangs.
But I get this error message when I enter Rec mode and when I flash, is this normal?

Five mins doesn't sound long enough to me. My first boots took much longer, I swear. don't worry about multi csc error, I get that.
While you're at it, buy a jig and reset the custom rom counter to protect yourself

Okay, I can try to flash again when I come home from work today.
How long should I wait? 15 minutes?
Tried flashing again, and I leaved until the phone booted. (Happen very quick this time)
The phone still gets in reboot loop, or it hangs. Sometime its boots up fully(I can move around in homescreen) and then it hangs/reboots.
Tried flashing many different roms, but same symptoms.
Do people have an idea what I can do?
Is my phone defect?

OK i was having a lot of problem with my samsung s3. It was hanging a lot. The phone hangs every time. so was fed up with that a lot.
So i tried to factory reset from the reset menu. The phone switched off and after restarting it is not booting. It gives error - No command with a green adnroid laying down.
I dont know about the firmware version and modem and etc. But it was on the India Stock Rom no root.
I am able to go to the download menu only, no booting and no reovery mode..
Flash a stock firmware with Odin, then factory reset again in recovery.
I have an S3 GT-I9300 and about a week ago it started refusing to turn on. It was fully charged, and I'd get LED indicators for messages, emails etc, but none of the buttons would switch on the screen, neither would unplugging the cable. The only way to fix it was to remove the battery, and after removing it one time, it refused to boot, sticking at the Samsung logo screen. Recovery mode wouldn't work, I tried resetting to factory settings, and wiping the phone, but it kept sticking (I think at cache), and wouldn't boot whatever I did.
I tried to update the firmware through Kies, which just froze at 94% every time. I also tried Odin, which again froze about the same point. So I tried following this guide, but when the phone restarted it tried looking for files on an SD card (which I don't have), so no luck. I tried repartitioning, but it keeps failing and if I try to flash the phone it now fails with "there is no PIT partition". I can't remember at which point it started happening, but although I can still get into download mode, switching the phone on any other way gives me a glitched screen something like this.
Is there any way at all to fix this phone at this point?
@edwards87: I'm confused about your description: no recovery mode, but factory reset? A root tool for rescue?
If you can boot into download mode, download actual firmware and Odin from sammobile.com (all new, delete old stuff) and try to flash it.

I can get into download mode (power + home + vol down), but can no longer get into recovery mode (power + home + vol up). When I could get into recovery mode right at the start, none of the recovery options did anything because it said there were missing files or directories.
I've tried several firmwares from sammobile through different versions of Odin and they all froze at the same place towards the end. Now none of them go anywhere because there's no PIT partition.
Then my next step would be a 3part-firmware +PIT-file.

Finally found a 3-part firmware but I get the same problem - repartition operation failed.
@edwards87: sounds like broken internal storage. Can't help you, sorry.
I need a pit file for galaxy s3 i9300 16GB please help me
Hi,
So i tried to update my galaxy s6 edge t mobile to the latest firmware and once it did, it got stuck in the samsung screen and wont boot. The phone was rooted before, and now it just stays stuck. I have restarted the phone and now I have tried flashing the phone using Odin. It keeps saying failed and it shows the following:: " SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2, BINARY: 1". I have tried downloading the firmware but it just keeps failing. When it updated, it should have updated to 5.1.1 since thats the latest which means i cant just put any other one right?
I dont know what to do to be honest, if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.
anyone?
Have you tried using Smart Switch to restore Stock firmware?
There are a few solutions mate
1st One:
1) Put your phone into download mode using "Volume Down-Home-Power" combo until your screen comes into download mode and still hold it untill the screen goes off.
2)Quickly switch to recovery mode using "Volume Up-Home-Power" in the black screen and get into recovery
a)if it loads something and says erased... please start from the 1st step again
3)Wipe cache/ factory reset do these things in the recovery mode then reboot.
you should be good to go. If not theres another solution.
--------------------------------------------------
2nd One:
1)Put your phone into download mode.
2)Connect ur phone to the computer via usb and open smart switch
3)Press view more button on the right top.
4)Choose the 1st option as "emergency recovery and restore"
5)Put your model and serial number (its on the backside of the phone)
6)then follow the instructions of the smartswitch
thats it

Ok so my phone stays stuck in the samsung screen and smart switch stays stuck saying connecting to your device. i really dont wanna try the factory reset thing because i havent backed up the files on my phone
Ok so i got to flash it with 5.1.1 using odin but once its done it keeps staying stuck in the samsung logo screen....again.
Just did factory reset and still gets stuck at the damn samsung logo..
I am willing to pay if someone can help me solve this issue
I also noticed that once the downloading portion of the phone is done, it says installing with the android robot picture, then halfway it says erasing and then it restarts and gets stuck at the samsung logo
=(
you need to do wipe cache and, wipe data and factory reset. That erasing part is normal. Your phone is not bricked. That android robot portion just verifies the stock recovery and partitions. No problem with it. just wipe cache dalvik and everything what you can find (there are 2 options already) on the recovery.

i have a samsung sm-g960u, that is locked to Sprint. On attempt to network unlock it by flashing the CP, it decided to never boot into the OS again. To clarify, when it was done flashing (with latest Odin), it reset, and made it to the blue screen with the Android icon, and the spinning arrows that says "Updating system software" and it will stay that way until the battery runs out. Upon using the Volume down and Pwr button reset, instead of taking me to Maintenance Mode, it goes to the black Factory Reset screen. Rebooting, Shutting Down, and rebooting into Download mode, all result in the phone being locked at this screen. I still have Download mode if im quick enoough to hit it after i power cycle it, and ive flashed the stock software successfully ( Odin says anyway) multiple times, with this same result. My question is this: Is this fixable through using the Nand Erase option in Odin? Also in the logs, i noticed it had some lines about the kernal being experimental(?) and to not use it, so im wondering when i flashed that CP modem file, if it somehow re wrote this version kernel into the phone? Im completely at a standstill here and any help would be great, as the phone is completely unusable at this point.
