[Q] bricked phone and broken odin

please help me, im in big doodoo... i dropped my old epic in the snow a couple of days ago and lost it. just got my brand new 100$ replacement one and decided to head straight for eb13. i ended up with cwm3.whathaveyou and then from there i ended up converting to ext4 it seems. i made the mistake of trying to reboot with the odexed stock eb13 rom. which started this downward spiral of an increasingly less functional paper weight. basically now i cant even get to cwm or stock recovery. i cant do anything except start download mode... which i assume is the only way to fix it now, however everytime i start to flash a stock update such as dg27, dk28 or eb13 they keep getting stuck. eb13 got stuck on the "boot.bin" and dg27 is currently stuck on param.lfs
i know that my own ignorance has gotten me into this mess not reading throughly, but i was hoping some of you not so ignorant geniuses could help me out of this mess. any advice on how to get odin to finish its work would be greatly appreciated.

Wrong section.
To answer your question though. You should go to the stock DI18 per the instructions on the wiki.

okay. how and where do i move it?

It should go in either Q&A or General. This is for ROM and Kernal development only. You can't move it unless you delete it and make a new thread. An admin will have to move it.

please dont make any new topics in this section. this goes in q & a. pls read rules

okay sorry. how do i delete my post?

i Was where you are two days ago heres what you can do
Make sure you cant boot into any kind of recovery.
Call sprint technical they will try to reset it for you while you're talking to them on the phone act stupid but say you were trying to upgrade to froyo with samsungs exe.
they will reset it and it shouldn't be able to get pass the samsung boot then delete everything off of your sd card.
take it into your local sprint store they will fix it for free but remember tell them you were upgrading to froyo with SAMSUNG's Software not odin.

What u can try to do is uninstall odin and re install it that might help u. Also make sure u put the tar file under PDA section and retry. Hope that works for u. I would say flash back to di18 first then see if u can get th ota

Also if youre on EXT4 and using odin i think youre supposed to have repartition checked....that might help

Try flashing with this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Use the second link: Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
edit: piggy-backing on iSaint's post, yes click re-partition for this flash. When I flashed, I actually had all 3 checked (repartition, reset time and auto reboot).

The link is for a Odin flash, not cwm. It will flash EB13 kernel and modem, preroot and install cwm3

Try using heimdall. It seems much more reliable. You should be able to fine it here or on google.

repartition????? never read that, but will look into it.. ext4 has been really touchy for me, but finally got it working I think...
Sent from my 286 with DOS

I say grab the Samsung Phone Flash tool and go stock EB13 and then try again. CWM/EXT4 and EB13 stock kernel don't play together. You need a modded kernel.

Solved
Thank you all. Especially Isaint. I tried every ones suggestions and just ended up taking it into sporting and they have me my phone back and updated to eb13 within 20 minutes. Thank you guys all again for saving my life.

[ROM][STOCK][FROYO] EC03 Froyo Update

Here is the update that everyone has been waiting for At the moment, I'm only providing the modem, and rooted, stock, deodexed version of the ROM. There will be a cleaned up version to go along with all of this in due time, but we're currently working out some problems with it. I would like to note that despite this being the Froyo update, it is not without its own set of problems, and odds are you may never see another update outside of this from anywhere. However, the benefits of getting Froyo will outweigh the problems with it for most people, so have at it.
You will need a few things to get this, first, the downloads list here will be needed (obviously). You'll also need to have CWM setup and know how to use Odin. Heimdall will also work for those of you not on Windows, but I'm not providing any instructions for flashing using Heimdall. Also note that you will want to wipe data or perform a factory reset before booting into Froyo to avoid any problems. While you may get away with not doing it, you could end up with several problems, so my recommendation is to wipe data. Also, you can flash the ROM first, or flash the modem first, which ever you want to do. There isn't really a required order for it, as long as you do both parts.
[size=+1]Instructions[/size]
Download everything you need.
Odin
Froyo Radio
ROM+Kernel
CWM Kernel
CWM update.zip
Put the ROM zip and CWM update.zip on your SD Card
Flash the Radio via Odin in the PDA box
Enter CWM and flash the ROM+Kernel
Wipe Data in CWM before restarting your phone
Restart and enjoy Froyo

FAQ
How can I donate to you for this?
You can either click the "Donate to me" button above my avatar, or go through this link. Don't feel obligated to donate though, as Verizon should have given this to you (the users) long ago.
Can I still receive updates after flashing this?
You cannot receive updates after flashing this unless you revert back to DL17, which is the latest official software released by Verizon and Samsung.
If I can receive updates on this, how can I restore back to DL17?
I've been sending this to several people already that have had problems with their phones. If you need to revert back to DL17 for any reason, download this. You will need 7-zip or similar to extract it. Once you have the .tar.md5 file, flash it in Odin via PDA like you did for flashing the modem to get Froyo.
Can I return my phone to Verizon for warranty repair/service with this on my phone?
No. If you need any sort of help with your phone from Verizon, you will need to have the stock DL17 ROM on your phone. Anything else and you have voided your warranty and Verizon and/or Samsung will not have to do anything to help you. See the above question for a package to restore your phone to the latest stock software.
Are there any bugs in this release?
Yes there are, just as there is with any software. I do not know what the bugs are though off hand though as I have not been using this update. I also cannot say whether any of the problems you may have will ever get fixed, seeing as you can't even get a straight answer on why the update has been taking so long.
Is xxx modification/theme compatible with this?
Odds are that it isn't. All of the current themes and modifications for DL17 will not work on this package. They will all need to be updated to be able to work. Given that this is a relatively new release, this could take some time, especially given that it is the summer and people are on vacation (I'm looking at you trailblazer ). We will work though to try and get all of the mods ported from DL17 to EC03 so that you don't have to give up anything to upgrade.
Will you release a "clean ROM" based on this?
Yes, and it is already in progress. I have sent it out to a couple people already to ask for feedback and any issues. Once they say it is ok, I'll create a new thread with the cleaned up version. There is currently no ETA on when it will be released though.
Are there any other kernels I can use with this besides the one that comes with it?
At the moment, there isn't. I'm trying to get a custom kernel to work, but it has some problems. At the very least, we can customize the stock kernel some, but I do not know if a full source built kernel will ever be available.
Can I flash this if I am on the voodoo kernel?
No, if you are running the voodoo lagfix kernel, you will want to disable voodoo prior to doing anything. If you don't, you'll be in for some fun times with Odin getting your phone back in a usable state.
Can I get something included in the FAQ?
Yes you can. Just create a post with the following template, and I'll try to keep the FAQ updated. If I don't see it or add it right away, don't worry, I'll try and update it. If it has been a week or two and I still haven't responded, just send me a message with a link to what you want included. Here is the format to use:

Kudos @imnuts for the effort!

Took about 7 minutes from download to phone setup. There was a short hang at the Samsung screen (approx. 15 seconds) but other than that it looks like it should. All startup animations are in tact..
I just gotta ask, its killing me... Where did this come from?

Bricked my phone?

Ive been rooted for the past 3 days with zero issues and no bloatware installed. Everything was great until today. I left for work and then I got zero data. Checked in my settings and it didnt even have my number in there or anything, just showed zero about a network or anything. Took it back to t-mobile today and they tried to hard reboot it and now I cant even get to the main screen. Tried a stock rom to recover it to factory and nothing. When I turn it on it just shows samsung now. Is there a way to go back to stock with odin or anything I can do?

Also when I boot into recovery its no longer cwm, and when I uploaded another stock rom onto it, I cant even see the sd card now.

Odin a stock rom. Your just soft bricked if you still have some activity.

Heres a tar. Of the 2.3.6 update with wifi calling also beforehand flash stock recovery via odin if u dont have it already....then flash this tar. Good luck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174
Edit....it is totally stock so you will be good then for root just use melvins root process it works u might have to flash root 2 or 3 times while in recovery . But it works

Is there a link to the stock recovery? All im seeing is cwm.

Let me know....hold on.....here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830
I will also get u the root file and cwm its in same thread u will do that after u flash rom tho. Right now just get to stock recovery then rom

Heres the root and cwm (recovery) thread like i said do this after your rom is odined on device. Flash cwm then go into cwm make backup let it finish then attempt root. (i said backup cuz u always should do this) also when looking for a file in odin hit pda then search for your tar. U downloaded select it and start odin!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194

Ok I finally got back to stock setup but I still have zero data and when I go into the status menu its unknown network, no signal, no mobile, and it says out of service. I did get a new sim card from t-mobile earlier today but both do the same thing. Phone defect or a problem caused by rooting?

That is the root I had on my phone all week before my phone became "out of service state". All I did was delete bloatware I would never use or want and it worked fine for 3 days, zero issues.

Nah cant be.....thats weird idk dude sorry i tried i got one more suggestion go to rootzwiki.com go to there forums and go to our gs2 variant and hit up development section whitehawkx has the flashable modem as a zip so u can flash it in cwm. Try that. Because it sounds baseband related (modem)

I just removed the t-mobile mall,tv and other crap like that. The email app, basic apps like that, and the free games. I had everything backed up as well so I know it wasn't anything I deleted.

100% stock phone now, reflashed the modem seperate, 2 sim cards and still have an out of service phone. Has to be a hardware issue. I can use wifi and get online and app market with no problem but nothing from t-mobile.

So I was wondering if any of you have heard of a phone not urning on at all. Like no download mode, no recovery, NOTHING!!! Mine just did it out of nowhere...

Yes, that happened to me on monday when my phone first arrived. I ended up getting a new phone from the t-mobile store by me. Plugging in the usb cable to charge the battery didnt even work. The ONLY thing I think that causes this is having re-partition and F. Reset time checked off in odin. On my replacement phone I was very careful to double check everything checked off and not checked along with software chosen and it then worked like a charm. If your phone blacked out you need to get it replaced, I havent read of anyway to fix that problem.

Wonder Boot Loop Problem !

Just doing independent research
From 1:10 wonder has boot loop problem
Although you already do flashing well
No kidding, but the characteristic for the phone that possible have a boot loop are always have FORCE CLOSE app and doing RESTART itself
And in next day it restart and only showing samsung logo...
In this situation you can't get to recovery
It can fixed but only if we get stock firmware with wipe and boot loader to fix this issue
Maybe I8150ZSKI3 Android 2.3.6 (ASIA) can helped, all component to do hard reset is in this firmware

Sorry, I can't help, but in my flashing thread, it has also been reported. But I think it happens more often on phones with asian firmwares. I had one report in the german forum too, but I am not sure if it was an "asian" version.
I think if something happens while the firmware update with an asian firmware, it might end up in a bootloop. I am not sure, but I think it makes also the partitioning of the storage, isn't ?
It would be good if we could get a "gettogether" in this thread and have all the reports of the soft-/hardbricked SGWs. So we can analyse and maybe find out the reason or atleast narrow down the issue.
I would like to know:
1. Did you have a custom rom before the flash ?
2. Was your phone rooted ?
3. Did you make the internal/external swap ?
4. Did ODIN say PASS before you disconnected(before the bootloop happend) ?
5. Any other fancy modifications you have done and what we should know ;-D ?

My team already try for asian rom that you provide in your tread and the new version of stock rom. it didn't do full wipe just normal flash like the others
Only stock rom & rooted bro...
PASS but the phone not turn on -_-"
No swap partitions
Just regular phone for daily use
If we can found the stock rom with wipe and bootloader still can be fixed
Hopefully it can be fixed without go to samsung -_-
All of us must aware for this issue bro..

I have edited my thread, it makes people now more alert about the risk of bricking.
Maybe it is more secure always wiping everything using ClockWorkMod:
Using this course of action:
1. Backup everything manually what you can!
2. Flash via ODIN ClockWorkMod Recovery on your device(english). Scroll down to other and select ClockWorkMod.
3. Once ClockWorkMod is flashed, go to the recovery:
a) backup and restore -> backup to external sdcard
b) backup and restore -> restore from external sdcard
This is to make sure the files aren't corrupted, if this is successful you can be sure everything is backupped. If you get a MD5 mismatch something went wrong. Try again!
c) wipe data/factory reset -> confirm
d) wipe cache partition -> confirm
e) mounts and storage -> format system -> confirm
f) mounts and storage -> format cache -> confirm
g) mounts and storage -> format data -> confirm
4. You restart your phone in Download Mode and flash a firmware using this instruction, which is provided in the thread under Firmwares.
5. Now you will have to flash again the ClockWorkMod recovery to restore your data.
Than open ClockWorkMod Recovery and:
backup and restore-> advanced restore from external sdcard -> select the backup -> Restore data -> confirm.
Now if you want the stock recovery back(needed for OTA updates) instood of ClockWorkMod, than go to the Others or Sonstiges and select the stock recovery, and flash it on your device.
6. Now you should have a fresh device like you have never flashed before!!!
Oh yeah, the reason why you have to make these complicated steps: Because you were flashing all different kinds of firmwares, you system will be a mess. To make sure your device is not a overwritten old firmware these steps are necessary.
Flashing via ODIN does not delete all old data !!!
I have to say also: I have flashed all the ROM's successfully before posting them in my thread about flashing.

Yes he already inform this...
But the question why just only him that get boot lop, this is kind a strange because another user didn't face the problem like this
His problem happened after applying V6 SC
I know that V6 SC update 9 RC6 have a change for boot lop, because for applying 100% must integrated built.prop
So many friend of my use V6 SC update 9 RC4 that more stable for our phone
Actually there is nothing different if we flash with nandroid and update.zip
The script doing same thing except for the user data
nandroid use md5 for more safety flashing
Like i wrote before..
Before this happen the phone always do restart it self
I hope there is any progress for prevent and fix this issue
The user that have this problem, now must go to Samsung to fix it before we know how to fix it
Regards

I'd like to say this sudden restart happen to me quite often while in stock rom, but after I flash custom rom this phenomenon never happen again. This phenomena only happen while I'm on stock rom.

Update for this..
My friend reported..
For my country, we get FULL WARRANTY for this case
and waiting this status until fixed about 2 days
For the first phase they do regular Flashing with STOCK ROM based on country
then it still cannot on (we know already -_-)
We didn't sure yet is the phone will be change with the new one or not because this had implication from hardware issue..
Come back latter..

Hi Bro...
We don't know yet how to fix it.

Samsung do spare part / hardware changes for this case. It probably cause not only by flashing but hardware also
BTW now i have 1 Wonder and 1 Wonder at Samsung center (i mean both are my friend phone ). ETA for fixing this is 3 days
And my friend want me to re write black notes chapter 3
It will come next week

Finally SGW come out from hospital
The problem cause not from FLASHING but from HARDWARE
Samsung must change the MAINBOARD for this problem
If this problem happened to you
Don't blame yourself or the Developers
Don't try to fix or figure this out by your self
Go to Samsung to Fix it

They change your Mainboard???
No questions?????
Very good result Rio!!!!
Is there a thread outlining what the symptoms of this particular Boot loop problem are.....
Maybe this post in this thread.....from THE-E....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22744322
it should be stickied!!!!!
How to do that here, who request to???
Not enough stuff getting stickied here, peeps have to trawl thro' full forum to find answers to sometimes repeated questions??
But important stuff certainly should be "stickied".
Anyone else agree....and how to get a result on this???

A little late in reading this post but I also bought my Galaxy W from Ebay. Samsung user agreement states that the phone is guaranteed for 2 years after the date of sale and the agreement is transferable between owners. In other words it doesn't matter who originally bought it but is guaranteed for 2 years and our phone is still less than 2 years old. I know this as had to send mine back and they accepted it.

Unable to install back Sys App after removal

Hi!
First, I would like to give thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394 for a quick guide on rooting my new Samsung galaxy GT-I8150.
My problem
Because my device is now rooted, I was able to uninstall the built-in Music app using Super Manager. But before that I managed to backup the installer using Norton Utilities, the file is Music_1.1.1.apk. I did it on purpose because I thought I could install it back without hassle like other app on the market. Now my phone does not allow it to be installed anymore.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in advance

Hi, may i know are you using stock rom?? If stock rom,all the program is odexed, and it cant simply put back. You should look for "system app remover" to do this,as inside got backup function.

I did the same thing before with MyFiles on stock ROM. My advice is don't you ever look back or you need to reflash you phone.

Hello jamestts!
Thank you for your reply!
I'm new to android technology so forgive me I don't know what a stock rom is. But you mentioned about odexed. I noticed that every apk file on my /system/app has a corresponding odex file. Will that make sense?

Yes...if you r using stock rom,all the file is odexed. If u wanna get back ur music.apk,the best way is flash with odin 4.43 ,lower version might brick ur phone. Do some research be4 flashing. Be patient. If u wanna know which firmware u using now,you can dial *#1234# at dial pad. Then you can download ur firmware from sammobile.com . If u interested in custom firmware which is faster,u can always go to developer forum.

I tried to flash my phone using Odin 4.43 with ASIA ROMS, and it was successful. The music app has returned to its place. Seems like I really had a hard reset of my phone. Thanks to you jamestts. But a new problem arises. Sometimes when my phone has returned from Idle, the display is messy. There's an intense brightness with vertical stripes on it. If I turn the display off and then on then suddenly the display is back to normal.
And I think the device volume becomes weaker, android version has been downgraded from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5
Any Idea on how to resolve this issue?

U can simply use odin to flash the latest ROM. They are available in our forum and http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i8150-galaxy-w/

hi there, glad you make it!!!
try install cwm recovery and wipe cache n dalvik cache then reboot. Try to do it twice and see how is it!!! remember is wipe cache and dalvik cache. DO NOT WIPE DATA....else it will factory default again!!
if after restart and still got the same problem, then i suggest restore to default.
OR change wallpaper!!!
it doesnt matter whether you upgrade or downgrade the firmware version. cause i have updated to newest malaysia version which is 2.3.6 then downgrade to cow firmware first version 2.3.5 .
try and see will solve your problem or not. cause i never facing this kind of situation. good luck to you.

I Immediately followed the link provided by yewsiong and flashed the latest firmware. I think my phone is more stable now, it's good as new.
Thank you guys for helping me out. I really learned a lot.
Thank you so much!!!
This site is cool...
