My phone kept looping on the loading screen, so i pulled the battery and got in CWM. When i did a data wide so i can restore from a saved file the phone got stuck on wiping.
So i pulled the battery and the phone kept on looping the samsung logo and would not go back to CWM, got inside ODIN and tried the stock one click EL29 ODIN method, everything flashes but gets stuck on data.bin. i re-start the process to only be stuck in the same data.bin step. the ODIN one click pro does not stop responding it just gets stuck.
I tried the ODIN method where i load the stock none rooted tar file in pda mode, this method completely passes but when it restarts it goes back to loop mode.
I tried getting into recovery mode but it loops also (Holding Volume up and power)
I am currently trying a different ODIN oneclick TAR file, maybe this will work, i will update when it finishes.
I do not know what to do next, i have flashed all individual files in ODIN also.

You were on a ics ROM ?
Used a ics kernel to wipe data ?
Were using ROM manager?
Using touch cwm ?
Didn't read OP for the ROM either ?
Almost all ics roms will tell you not to use a ics kernel with cwm that is the cause of the bricks ...
If you can answer yes to any of the above you didn't read enough... There are a dozen threads about bricking phones on here that would have saved your phone....good luck at sprint getting it replaced

Samsung screwed us by changing some partitions and until we get source to know what they did its best to follow the OP to a T because no one has bricked when using a GB kernel to wipe or flash ....just the ics ones

This is where your /data partition got corrupted. The data wipe in ICS-based CWM.

ODIN OneClick is just serving as the messenger to tell you your /data partition is corrupted. You could have used CWM, ODIN, ODIN OneClick, etc. They would all tell you the same thing. The EMMC memory is actually damaged, it isn't just a partition data problem.
It is unfortunate to have the issue with ICS-based kernels and custom recovery, but that is why all the threads stress using GB-based kernels with custom recovery to do your flashing.
Lesson learned. At least you work for Sprint and can probably get things resolved with less hassle.
Yeah lesson learned. I just did the repair ticket on it and will have one on tuesday.
When the new one comes i will go straight to ICS build 31, and not even mess with anything else.
Its just amazing how we cant figure out a way to format/partition the currupted /data.

It isn't a format issue.
The hardware emmc memory is damaged.
JTAG bitblasting would have overwrote everything if it was fixable. That is failing in this case.
So basically you are asking why we can't reformat a hard drive that crashed and make it work.
You are doing what's right. I had to flash the one click Odin 3 times to get out of a boot loop after trying to restore a GB ROM MD5 from a ICS kernel. Learned the hard way. But if you can get to DL mode, you can usually fix it. After the third time i was able to get into standard Android recovery and do a factory data reset. Then flashed the rom again and it booted right up. I was lucky though. Hope it works out.

My phone was constantly rebooting so i went into CWM and did a factory reset and it froze while wiping and since then it wouldnt reboot. I went to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551901&page=11 and followed the directions for the one click recovery using odin 1.81 but it stopped updating on the data.img. I kept it connected for over an hour. I disconnected the cable and rebooted the phone. now when i turn it on it says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again" i tried holding power and volume down and it briefly boots up but then goes to the firmware upgrade screen. Kies isnt recognizing the phone as being connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
you are not the first one today (yesterday) reporting the same problem. There were about 3~4 incidents reported during today. So, don't go further at this time. I hope some more Devs joining to give more helps.
During the time you are waiting, read the almost same case -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554392
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549382
Also, please describe the full details about what you did and how you did -
where did not download the rom, what's your rom/kernel version before installing the rom, how did you proceed to odin the rom, etc...
You mentioned that you tried to flash the rom using the one click recovery using odin 1.81. Can you please be more details about this?
Before flashing the rom, you said that your phone was constantly rebooting. What was your rom and kernel at that time? Do you think there was anything suspicious causing the rebooting?
Maybe the solution would be simple but I saw many people reported same thing, there would be common issue in here. So, we need to find out what that is....
Sorry for not giving you the suggestion at this time.
This isn't an ODIN issue. ODIN is just the messenger in this case.
There is a problem between the ICS kernels and custom recovery where it will sometimes corrupt your /data partition if you reset/wipe/restore/format/etc. Any large partition operations are suspect. Copying files seems fine. It doesn't necessarily do it every time so it'll work for some but brick others. Even if it works a couple of times, it can brick at any time.
The EMMC memory actually becomes damaged and even JTAG repair will not fix. By the time you get to ODIN the damage is already done. ODIN won't be able to write to /data even using a .pit file with repartition set, ODIN one-click won't write to it, CWM will hang writing to it, JTAG will have issues also.
Your best bet is to get a replacement.
There are multiple threads about this, which is why people suggest you go back to a GB-based kernel+CWM to do your ROM flashing.
This is one thread where the data.img corruption is discussed:

Cool, good to know...
And after all that trouble getting to 4.0.2, Lexicomp (which is a medical app) isn't compatible with it yet.. and I have finals coming up in which I have to have that app... so back to GB it is, at least until finals are over.
Having the hardest time flashing this. Was running it all weekend till yesterday when I went to update profile (blazer gb). I went flash back and it will not flash I hang up on the sgs 2 screen. I've gone back to stock and re-root did everything I could right and still no go.
Went and did sfhubs el26 odin (which did put the triangle on the start up) and it wouldn't let me complete th flash due to it being the euro model. I don't know. Love this Rom super nice GREAT battery.
Wondering how to get this fixed on my end.

Hopefully you haven't messed your phone up too bad already.
Try getting into download mode and then use odin one click back to el29 and start over!
Sorry I ment the international version (gt9100) not the euro version. My phone works I have blend on here atm.
Alright so while I was on Aokp I
1. Flashed el26 with moblie odin.
2. Backed up Rom
3. Flashed calks wipe all
4. Flashed blazer 4.1
5. Updated profile.
6. Flashed el26 with mobile odin
Alright so here is where I was rushing.
7. Restored backup
8. Flashed fe16 repack
9. Boot.
So hindsight being the birch lover it is I should have done some wiping before step 7 and after step 7.
ROM wouldn't boot. I was able to get to download mode no and flashed stock el29 with pc odin. Phone still wouldn't boot. At this point I'm kinda getting worried I did something really dumb. Went into the stock recovery and wiped data and cache. Stock booted fine after that.
I root using one click and got my mobile odin on. Flashed el26 wiped everything tried to restore and wiped again and flashed kernel and wiped again. Wouldn't boot.
Did all the above again using pc odin el26 which gave me the triangle on boot up screen no bigger to me just butt ugly. Went into el26 recovery and tried to flash Rom fresh and still would go past boot up screen.
So I'm back on gb wanting silk back on my phone. Just don't know what to do next.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
i think step 8 is where you messed up. I believe thats a TouchWiz only kernel. You need an AOKP specific kernel to boot AOKP
Yeah I'm pretty sure that you're right. Got home where I had access to normal Odin just in case. Did everything twice. Manual wiped twice, calks format script twice flashed twice wiped again twice and bada Bing pow. Dopest from I've ever use is back up and rolling.
One question I have is how do I restore a back up. I understand it can only be done with el26 kernel but I guess I'm not clear on the process I guess.

Are you really flashing the roms from here then? The I-9100 is a GSM phone and quite frankly the actual I-9100 forum has a much bigger variety and those are the roms you should be using. Not any of the ones from here since this is a CDMA device.

quite simple actually. Just odin/mobile odin the el26 kernel/recovery. Restore the backup, then flash an AOKP kernel. reboot and you're set.
In an el26 recovery, flash aokp twice. The first flash doesn't do it all the way. Then flash gapps.

Please check your Odin log and try full pkg - not Nodata ver. If it hits the eMMC lockup it should hang on data.img if I remember correctly. Also trying to access data partition by ADB, such as dd, should cause the phone to hang until battery is pulled.
Once verified only solution is replacement at the moment.

I'm also concerned when you say you were using Agat's recovery when you bricked (if you are bricked). You flashed an AOKP rom, which probably has it's own kernel and recovery. Anyway, you can't use his recovery with AOKP...not compatible.
I didnt see were you tried el29 oneclick??? All i seen is that you tried another ics oneclick! If you havemt tried el29 oneclick give that a shot. I seem to think that flashing from ics-ics roms in cwm recovery or any recovery was bad??? I have always used odin or mobile odin just way safer.

This might be your problem, you need to flash back to GB i believe try the EL29 one click like I said and see what that does for you? It may be a soft brick if you still have your recovery intact! And the fact that the oneclick you did install passed is good since it passed !!!
I think your problem may be that your CAPS LOCK is stuck in the ALL CAPS position... It might be confusing the computer when you are typing commands into it... Jk!
But from the sounds of it the problem may be that you're running a ROM with an incompatible kernel. I would recommend doing sfhub's EL29 one-click rooted full restore. You're able to get to both recovery and download mode so it leads me to believe the phone is functional but you're just not doing the right things to get it functional enough for you to use it.

Hey guys,
I've been flashing ROMS for years and this is my first real issue.
I tried to upgrade from an earlier version of CM10 to the newest one. After I flashed GAPPS this caused the phone to get stuck on reboot so I went back to CWM recovery.
ALL MY DOWNLOADED FILES WERE GONE IN CWM. Including all the roms I had, and my NANDROID backup (which I would have just reflashed right there).
I tried to Odin back to stock and it passes but gets stuck on the Samsung boot logo every time.
I've tried to scour threads on XDA and on Google. The closest thing I found was a thread where it mentioned I'd need Tmobile Bootchain commands but I can't find those either.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried to Odin using a different computer.. or redownload Odin and the files needed

Odin the stock firmware you mean from a different comp? I don't think that is the issue since Odin shows that the flash was successful. The phone reboots itself and it gets passed the Samsung Galaxy S3 screen to the Tmobile Android 4g boot animation.
Additionally, people in the Verizon S3 forum are describing my issue exactly here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030)

Go to Doc's stickie and I think it is in the 2nd post, there is an Odin flashable version of TWRP (maybe a copy of CWR but since I don't use it I'm not sure).
Flash that and let it "try" and reboot. It won't but you can do the key combo to get into TWRP recovery and either flash a ROM, Restore or at the very least Factory Reset, which would be my first choice.
Somewhere back there in your efforts, I think you may have erased your internal and if that is where your backups were kept then that might be why they are gone. Just a thought though.
In odin, uncheck auto reboot. Flash the recovery tar in pda spot. When it says pass, pull the battery and boot into recovery with volume up, home, and power. Release the power button when u feel the vibrate. Then thank mrmako777 for teaching me this tonight

You are the mf'in man. This is what fixed my phone. Give me your email so I can paypal you $20.
To anyone who can't get into recovery if you mess up your phone with the wrong GAPPS, this method is the only thing that worked for me.

Glad you had it all worked out.
This is exactly what was suggested to you before, since you said in your OP you had already odin back to stock. What I don't get is how come you were not able to boot into original recovery when it was just going on a boot loop. It doesn't matter. At least you fixed it. Enjoy
