[Q] Please Help, can only enter download mode on my gio

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help, I can only enter download mode with my gio.
What happened is, I flashed CM9, which worked perfectly, after that, I mounted /system in recovery and I installed the patch v3 zip file for CM9.
turned off my phone and then when i booted it, you see the samsung image, after that you see the gio image and after that, it says 'android' in tiny letters and after about 10 seconds that disappears, and the screen stays black.
I also can not enter recovery mode, only download mode.
I tried flashing stock rom with odin but I dont get how it work.
I also tried Heimdall, I downloaded stock firmware from samfirmware.com and unzipped it, after that I loaded the .MD5 file in Heimdall.
When I load the file into heimdall and put it into th browse directory, I unpacks and stuff but at the end it say 'Firmware.xml missing'.
Can anyone provide me with a detailed description of what to do? (including download links and stuff).
Thanks in advance!!
EDIT: Just downloaded odin multidownloader V4.42 and GIO_v1.0.ops and I installed stock firmware using odin as one-package with the .ops file also loaded.
Now I am stuck in a bootloop and i cant acces recovery mode, any ideas?
EDIT2: If i try to run Odin Multidownloader again this is what the message bar in the lower left says:

If you've successfully installed stock firmware & ur phone now bootloops, pull off battery, insert it again, goto stock recovery, & do wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache. Ur prob. will get solved.
For mibib download prob. Visit my thread here:-

It's for galaxy fit but it may help U sort out the prob. & rename ur device specific OPS file correctly.
Hope this helps!!!

I guess my phone is like bricked or so, It is only 1 year old, So if I flash stock rom and bring it to a service center, does that count as Warranty if I say that It happend after updating with Kies?

Oh Bro! That's not bricked. You've not entered recovery mode. Try it correctly by pressing and holding HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON!!

help to solve"cant mount cache"problem/not booting

Hi,
Writing this to seek you help! My second phone, Galaxy grand duos (i9082). Suddenlty went dead and now struck on boot logo. I have tried flashing Cm/Stock roms through both recovery and Odin. But I am getting this error message
===
E: Can’t mount Cache/recovery
Or
E:failed to mount/cache (no such file or directory)
===
Can you please suggest is there anything I can try to revive the phone?
Ps: The stock rom files I have downloaded are having only one zip file than three to place in PDA/CSC/PHONE tabs of ODIN. As PIT file is not available separately, I am not able to try re-partion. With my limited knowledge, the problem is more on account of readability of drives/memory. Please suggest if I should try to download the stock firm ware again from different source to get PIT file and try again>
Thanks in advance for your help!!

You'll need to flash Stock firmware.
1. On your Computer, in Task Manager, kill all Kies related processes.
2. Open ODIN and put that single TAR file in PDA section. Others will be blank.
3. Make sure that Re-partition is NOT TICKED. A mistake here could make your device dead.
4. Flash
You should be good to go :good:
General rule :
a) if Firmware has only 1 file (it will be either tar or tar.md5) it will go in PDA. Others blank.
b) NEVER tick Re-partition option if you don't have pit file. Generally it is not required.
Let me say (for first time ever ) I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU BUT WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE.
Good luck :good::laugh:

[Help] Galaxy w bricked

Hey guys
first , i installed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30948064
first time it was normal and smooth , and installed Supercharger V6
before the phone was rebooting it self every 15 min maybe and goes to normal ,im not sure if its cuz of the cpu manager or V6 supercharger
(didn't overclock that much ) suddenly now when i turn on the phone it just shows the samsung logo (only) on and off ,etc....
i can enter the download mode , but can't go to recovery mode
although i flashed the phone with gb 2.3.6 , even with 2.3.5 but nothing worked
i really need some help asap .
Thanks , RedShift

maybe that ram on your handheld is full when u using custom rom, and then the system can't handle that,
and when you flash via odin maybe that file is corrupt,
Sorry for my bad english,

Do you have an sdcard in the phone? If so, take it out and try to go into recovery. See if that works. It happened to me once because of a stupid sdcard issue.
Also you might try taking out the battery and waiting a little while. Then try to get back at the recovery mode.

did you try reflashing cwm?

As long as the phone can go to DL mode you can still restore it....that is just soft bricked
At this point of time forget about stock recovery if you can restore it by flashing CWM then under storage wipe n format every single folder
Then flash back stock ROM n update it to the latest baseband / FW n start rooting it again n flash your preferred ROM
Best in future to do a backup first before you try something new unless you know what you are doing....

When i flash to clockwork mode or any rom
it flashs but when it finish (reboots) it just shows a blackscreen unless i remove the usb cable
it's weird cuz odin can recognize the phone
and shows samsung logo on and off ...
edit :
this is the Odin message when i flash

By reading this and seeing what Odin is displaying you it sounds a bit to me like you resized the partition where the ROM gets flashed to. Just if you have no clue what you did exactly before this happended, how can anybody else know how to revert this?

I used Odin only once so I don't remember the options. Is there an option to update partition table on the phone ?

I also don´t remember. Last time I used Odin was when Arco and Ivedor got the camera working in CM9. So there I used it the last time to flash CWM and installed CM9.
However something got screwed up on his phone and as long we don´t know what exactly caused this, we also can´t tell if this can be fixed at all.

i know the reason
its because the Cwm Sd partition , silly me
now im gonna play dumb and send the phone to Samsung BCI
Do you guys think they will take too much ? :/
i wanna thank all the people who tried to help me , i will never forget that !

Desperated to Flashing Samsung GT-I9082

Hello Everyone!
Im new here and will just get to the point.
I will explain my problem with super detail, so you guys can give me best solution
Source of my Problem
I love summoner war.. Totally love it, but everytime the App update, i have to delete another Apps because the device told me that i dont have enough space to update the game. Even there's no other app except Summoner Wars. So i wondering why my Phone keep telling me that the space isnt enough?
Later i learned there's 'Ghost Files' in my internal memory and it keep getting bigger and bigger. Im googling how to get rid of them and give up because its too complicated for me
Then out of nowhere, i got an idea to re-flash my phone and update it to v4.4.x(Kitkat)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The bigger problem begins
I learned how to reflash my device. Got 2 methods. And need the ROM itself so I downloaded the ROM
1. Using Download Mode + Odin
2. Using Recovery Mode
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Device Model : GT-I9082
Firmware Version : 4.2.2
Recovery Mode : Philz Touch 6

Downloaded Firmware, Odin, Kies, USB Driver
Firmware name : I9082XXUBNI2_I9082OLBBNH1_XSE
Firmware size : 997 MB
Odin : OdinDownloader_v4.38
Kies : Kies v2.6.3

1. Turned my device off
2. Get to Download Mode
3. Connect device to PC
4. Odin Can't detect my device
Because i hate complicated things, so i moved away to Recovery method. (My biggest mistake)
1. Copy ROM to SD card
2. Turned my device off
3. Get to Recovery Mode
4. Wipe File/Reset Factory > WIPE ALL DATA TO INSTALL NEW ROM (Is this my mistake?)
5. Data Wiped out and locating ROM directory
6. Directory located and Installing ROM.
7. Error, 'Installation Aborted' (There's no status 6/7 message. Just Aborted)
Again, because hate complicated things, i changed my mind to reflash my device and just Reboot it.
And then.. My device Stuck in the booting logo screen, it's not like Bootloop because it doesnt keep restarting over and over. It just hang in logo screen so i cant say its a bootloop.
My first Question is..
What's the name of the Error? its reaaaaaaally bugging me..

And the Journey Begins..
Because there's only 2 methods to installing new ROMs, so i focusing to Fix the problem each method.

2. Recovery Mode
How to prevent the 'Installation Aborted' Error at Installing ROMs?

Suggestions so far
1. Download Mode
- Install/Re-Install Samsung Driver (2x Tried. Failed)
- Try another Computer (First Computer is Win 8.1, try to Win 7 Professional. Failed)
- Take the battries out when connecting to PC at Download Mode (My device turned off instead. Failed)
- Change the USB Cable
(First USB Cable is a Samsung Cable, there's notif sound in my PC, there's installing Driver software pop-up in my PC, BUT it tooks forever and Never Finished. Second USB Cable is Oppo F1 Cable, there's notif sound in my PC and nothing else. Failed)
- Enter the Download Mode (Press Vol Up) at the same time when connecting the USB to PC (Fail)
2. Recovery Mode
- Wipe data/Reset Factory > Wipe Chache > Wipe Dalvik Chache (Countless times. Failed)
- Download the original Stock ROM (v4.2.2) and Install it (Same error. Failed)
- Editting ROM data + watching youtube video how to do it
(There's difference between my ROM's Files with in the Video's File, the File of mine started with 'GT' but in the vid started with 'cm' AND the content inside the file is different, in the video is subfolders but in my File is just 2 File: tar.md5 and a .dll. Failed)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My hypothesis so far
1. Download Mode
The problem is in the USB Driver or unsupport Cable
2. Recovery Mode
The problem is, the ROM i used is not the ROM for recovery Installation, the ROM is just for ODIN Installation.
