please somebody help
stuck in bootloop and won't enter recovery and odin won't see my device in download mode .... what to do ??
You need to look through Hopper8's posts to find his 'Odin won't work' thread; there's lots of scenarios covered in that thread that should enable you to get back to stock via Odin.
is there a link ?
C'mon :-|
Advanced search for his username, 'find threads started by user'. It's not difficult, and I'm certainly not going to do something for you that you're more than capable of doing yourself.
okay i found it but it didn't help ... the whole pc can't see my device in download mode :S

Did you even find that thread of Hopper's & read it ? It's got a bunch of troubleshooting steps you need to try & a whole heap of other stuff.
Either you want to fix your phone or you don't, and given how little effort you've put in so far, we don't care either way.

@ZACQ8,
I rooted my son's S2 using this method -> http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-newworks-on-all-galaxy-s2-variants/ and now need to install CWM. Was thinking of "touch", but don't know how.
Went to the CF-root link in your signature but not sure which one to choose ... my firmware before the root was 2.3.6, but has now gone to 2.3.5 and the base band is XXKI4. Can you suggest the exact file I should download? Can you also tell me if the touch version is available?
Thanks,
Hi all

flashing unbrick file using ASB box
flashing the handset with SPT box
flashing .pit
repartion

My guess is that it is NAND rw problem, and I will have to wait for my riff box service cables to arrive, so I can jtag it back to life (I have the box, they forgot to ship the service cables)
Any ideas is appriciated
Best regards
You actually see the logo? Can you get into Download mode? Not recovery.
If not you either need to Jtag or she has somehow triggered the super brick bug. Then the device can't even be repaired with the RIFF box.

Yup, it is stuck at the Samsung GSII logo...
I can easily get into Download mode... But I have no recovery... Im thinking that it is a eMMC fault, I am trying to find a place to buy the eMMC and get it replaced/reballed
Well if you can get into Download mode, I'd suggest you try flashing the CM9 resurrection edition. It's the only "custom Rom installation package" I know that comes with everything to start from every base.
If it's really a broken emmc chip, you better have the knowledge to replace it yourself (or know someone who has). It's neither an easy nor cheap procedure.

I apparently only found the CWM files, instead of the tar, that's why I was talking about CWM... but it is still dead...
Okay, you must have misunderstood me... I know how to use Odin, I know how to recover from a Soft brick, I know how to recover from hardbricks using JTAG... I am not a noob
I have all Samsung professional tools, riff, SPT, medusa, asb etc...

Hehe, it is just okay...
When I flashed the CM9 to it, I got the kernel panic uploade mode... So my guess is still NAND/eMMC fault...
Strange one. It seems like a hardware fault. Good luck with repairing that. Usually a motherboard replacement would be the way to go.
Can you check if you're able to get into stock recovery after flashing a stock ROM?
I have had similar problems on both SGS2 and on Gtab 8.9 after performing factory reset in latest CWM. The only solution was flashing a stock ROM and then factory reset from stock recovery (and then flashing whatever ROM I wanted to flash in the first place)
Could be worth trying.

It was a HW failure... I got it fixed under warranty, and they changed the PCB... Way more simple than changing the eMMC...

Had the same problem, stuck in logo. I tried flashing stock ROM, but it didn't save my situation. So I tried flashing CM9 Resurrection and managed to get into recovery mode. Then I reflashed the custom ROM I had earlier on and everything went up again. Thanks a lot.
same issue
I am also stuck at Samsung logo, i9100
I can get into recovery. I installed stock many times - no help. (I9100XWMS1_I9100XXMS4_I9100NEELS1_HOME.tar.md5)
I was missing my IMEI so I guess it is the efs folder fault.
I tried to fix the efs with backups, I have zipped EFS, but I can not go to system and replace the files.
If you have any ideas - please share it with me!
I also had a nandroid backup - no help as well.
my sgs2 is softbricked and I have download AND recovery mode, and still can't fix it ;(
did you try this guide?
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-26-12-flash-stock-firmware-rom-t2365701
i have s3. i rooted the phone then tried to install flash miui v5 via with but failed -i guess- because phone is lack of cwm. so i installed cwm but the phone wouldnt boot to recover mode, instead there was always original recovery mode. so i tried again and again but still anything change. then i tried to unlock bootloder with a app named ez lock i guess i did it but after something my phone went to download mode by itself and there is nothing else. top left there is no version info. just download mode with a green android guy. i removed battery and take it back, and tried to open download mode again there was infos top left screen this time. but when i tried to enter recovery mode it just load something in cwm recovery then there is again download mode without infos top left.
now im downloading stock rom, hope it'll work. is there anything else i can do guys? please help me, im not good at this stuff..
Tried to Flash stock firmware ?
sent from the state where marijuana is NOT illegal !!
Bootloader ??? do you actually have a I9300 as bootloader is not locked .
please help me, im not good at this stuff.. That would be due to not bothering to read the faqs and guides first .
My guess is that you have bricked your phone and need a paid for service repair .
i tried to flash to stock rom with odin, but somehow it failed to flash :S then phone stucked at a screen that says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again. then i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261153 and my phone opened.
i have a question though, why didnt cwm open in the phone? if it had opened i would've install miui
Things went wrong because you didn't read or follow the many guides on XDA that other members wrote to help you. Guessing what to do can be very expensive.
CWM didn't open because you flashed in onto a stock ROM, which immediately restored a stock recovery.

but i couldnt install miui because cwm wouldnt open, before that i had stock rom which same now too. anyway now i have rooted 4.1.2 stock rom of samsung with counter 7 :laugh:
I've been an idiot and managed to wipe my OS. I have TWRP and I was wondering what the easiest way to recover my OS would be.
Am I right in thinking I can get a stock rom from samsung updates, stick it on the SD card and flash it on?
IF so, can any of you give me detailed instructions or point me to some?
Thanks.
If you still have your recovery partition intact then u can just download a custom ROM (flashable zip file format) of your choice and flash thru TWRP. Hey presto fone fixed.
Check out the S3 android and original android dev pages, look thru them till you see one you like. Preferably pre-rooted.

Go to sammobile.com and download the latest stock rom for your country. Follow the guide in general forum on how to flash with Odin.

Odin doesn't seem to work for me, I boot into TWRP, connect via USB with Odin up and nothing changes.
Follow the guide, Odin uses download mode not recovery.
If you keep doing things without reading and understanding first then you will hard brick it.

@boomboomer is right you need to stop panicking sit back and read the stickies in the general thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-galaxy-s3-sticky-roll-thread-t2344125 << you are lacking basic knowledge and need to read up or you will end up with a paper weight as a phone.:crying:
I fixed it with a custom ROM via SD Card and install in TWRP. Sorry I forgot how to enter download mode as opposed to recovery mode. Thanks for all your help everyone.
