If he's on stock recovery, he is pretty much screwed. If he had custom recovery, could probably get the phone running again, but USB would probably not work.

I had the similar experience two times.
First time - When I just started learning about this phone -
odined I9100.
Second time - accidently flashed M250 rom a week ago.
But in my case, I was able to go to DL mode and reflashed sfhub's one-click odin and problems were solved.

I guess it's safe to say that he has a very nice paperweight

Have you tried the USB jig? That puts mine into download mode, although mine is not messed up with an international ROM. Still though, if you haven't tried that yet, try that.
Nevermind, I failed to read that you can already get into download mode and that it is not recognized by odin.

I remember reading awhile back that you need to reinstall the drivers for the int version and it should be recognized then. Problem your friend has Odin thinks its the int version. Have him try that.

Did you say that Odin recognize your phone or doesn't recognize it? If Odin recognize your phone then your definitely in luck.

Now you have to get the original unrooted factory rom .tar file and restore your phone back to factory. Your phone is just soft bricked so you are very lucky. Use google or the xda search feature and look up something along the lines of "SGH-T989 .tar file" or "T-Mobile Galaxy S II tar". The exact file you need is floating around here somewhere.

r u talking about the sgh-t989-stock-recovery.tar? i have tried that but get stuck on setupconnection
There is no stock rom tar file for our phone yet. We only have a kernel and stock recovery tar.
You can't get into recovery?
This phone is a BEAST!
what is the proper way to get into recovery. my phone wont do jack right now.

Honestly I haven't done this yet with the GS2, but I've done it a million times with a Vibrant I once owned. I'm gonna look it up right now and see what I find. This should be a pretty easy process. The best part is that at least your phone isn't completely bricked.

First do a battery pull, then put the battery back into the phone, hold both the up and down volume rocker and press the power button till the phone vibrates (letting you know its been turned on), soon as the phone vibrate then release the power button but do not let go of the volume rocker until you see the recovery image! Once you see the recovery image you are easily back in business. Let me know if you can at least get into recovery.

btw guys i backed up my stock rom with nandroid.md5
What ROM did you guys install? Few questions. Did you guys install Samsung drivers. If not install through kies or from the development section here and reboot computer. Then put in download mode and wait for comp. to recognize phone again. try entering recovery and flash a basic stock ROM from dev section. See if that works.

Possibly Bricked?

Hey everyone,
I tried flashing a new rom from my phone earlier and I think it may not have flashed successfully. I hit reboot after it was finished installing but my screen remains blank and the blue led remains lit. I have tried battery pulling and using the button combos to go into either recovery or download mode but I haven't had any luck. When I use the buttons to go into recovery or download mode the led blinks for a second as though it is recognizing the command but the screen remains blank and the led stays solid blue. I have tried hooking the phone up to my computer and ODIN doesn't seem to recognize it either. Does anyone have any ideas or can anyone confirm if I am bricked? I would really appreciate some help. I have had this phone since the day it came out and have messed around with it quite a bit but I am out of ideas and have always been able to either boot into recovery or download mode Thanks in advance!
I would try a jig first. u can get one off ebay or make one. also if that doesn't work jtag maybe be your only option. hooe you can bring it to life man
What did you flash ? I was drunk as hell last night flashing a kernel in Odin in the phone section and wondering why it would never finish until I realized it was in phone not Pda .... I did it like 3 times before I finally fixed it got Cm7 back on it with no Baseband ... Funny now but odined a radio and all was fine.... The only thing that will usually F this phone up is flashing bootloader from int. Version that's a instant brick not fixable

I flashed the "tbm" FB17 rom which just came out today. I downloaded it directly to my phone so there is a possibility it could have been a bad download. Prior to that I was using Calkulin's stock FB17 deodexed rom which was released yesterday.
by chance did you use the touch recovery at all? lots of people have been bricking their devices lately using that.

Nexus SIII brick?

I wasn't sure where to post this but any help would be appreciated. I wanted to try the new jellybean alpha rom and accidently downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737449. Now I have a bricked phone and cant get into download or any response from the phone. Are there any options other than a new phone?
Wth is a nexus s 3
Yup its bricked
You could try the method where a USB jib was used to go to dl mode
Although idk if it will work or not

USB jib? Never heard of it. Is there a good thread on how to use it?
AFAIK there are no USB jigs for Galaxy S3.
You're pretty much screwed if you can't get into download mode. When you flashed the ROM, it probably overwrote the partition for download mode.
there was much of this going around earlier ... check out this thread

[Q] What have I done to my phone?! URGENT

Hi all! I'm new here so please refrain from flaming me...
I'm no noob to flashing the rom on my phone as I have successfully carried out the procedure multiple times. However, on this occasion things didn't go as planned. I began the procedure to update my S3 via odin to the new firmware that was released yesterday, however when the process got to 'system.img' the status bar just hung in the same place (just past the beginning of the bar) for a good 20 minutes... I panicked and unplugged my phone... BAD MOVE. I now get the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and the only thing I can do is put my phone in odin mode, which I did, and tried to install the stock jelly bean rom, the exact same thing happened as before...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance

I don't believe we have that for our model.
If you can still get download mode there's hope, maybe not a lot in this case, but there is some.
Try to flash cwm or twrp via odin. If successful boot recovery and try to flash a stock rom. Hopefully it only screwed up the system partition. ...
Never unplug till odin says either PASS, FAIL, or RESET. You may end up really lucky this time. If its taking a long time, just leave the room.

Guys, even better news... That thread was the solution! My phone is now back to normal! I did lose a lot of pictures, but oh well, I'm glad I have my phone back to normal. Thanks for all your help! :good:
Wow! Ok, I am glad you got it working again, but you took a huge risk flashing that. Luckily its just the kernel aparently, but you should never flash anything from the international forum. More hard bricks have occured from flashing international stuff than anything else.
Just pointing this out so you or others reading this don't take it as meaning they can flash international roms and mods.
Glad it did work out for you though!

Thank you for the info! I keep that in mind so I don't run into any other problems. Now, I'm deciding whether I should try to install that firmware that caused the problem again... Even though I know what to do in the event that odin hangs, the results may not be the same... What do you think?
On a side note: It seems I only text messages and app settings, luckily I backed up my phone with Kies a few days ago so it's all good

Before you do, check under the battery so you are certain of the phone model. There are 3 variants if the T999, and they cannot flash each others firmware.
Also, I don't believe you mentioned which firmware you tried, or I missed it, but which was it?
And i said it before, but do not unplug during flash. It may seem to take forever if it hangs, but it will eventually Fail out if it does.

Ahhhh, well, I know now why it didn't brick your phone when you flsshed thst kernel! You do hsve the correct phone for that. So you will need to reverse what I told you and do not flsdh anything from this forum! Sorry for the confusion, I assumed you had a T999.
It sounds like you have the right firmware, but I know very little about the international models. They are very different than ours. You should definitely go to the International forum from here on. Very little info you get here will be relevant and you cannot use any of our roms or otherwise.
Good luck!

In serious need of your help here guys. I bricked my T-mo SGH-M919 today trying to root. Now I can't flash the stock recovery thru Odin. Tried a zillion times, uninstalled and reinstalled drivers restarted my comp, done everything I could think of still no dice.
I keep getting this Fail message in Odin saying " There is no PIT partition" tried to search for a PIT file for my specific model but couldn't find any. I even tried recovery thru kies emergency recovery and failed at the last step. Anybody can help me please.

If you can still get into Odin mode, there's still hope. Have you tried using Odin to flash a stock image instead of Kies?

Rooting isnt hard at all just got my s4 3 hrs ago rooted in 5 minutes soon as I walked in the door.
You need the Root_m919uvuamdl.zip
And then flash MDB setUIDoff .zip
Then flash superuser.
Thats it.

Let me ask you one thing. .. is the com port in odin coming up recognize the phone ...if so you are not bricked. . The two vital things u need to see is com port turn on usually blue color and download mode..
The problem def lies somewhere else possibly bad tar file .
Try to find another source for the stock rom tar file another option is boot into recovery and flash a stock rom if you have recovery still

Well glad you got it.... but i still find it hard to believe any usb was the issue Usb recognition is usb recognition. .if odin seen the phone usb was working. ..its literally that simple... the problem initially explained was that the pit error was coming up... that all relates usually to a file error .
But glad it worked out and u didnt loose a 600$ phone.

I own three Samsung devices, and my sgs2 will not transfer files or work with adb when I use a generic best buy rocketfish usb cable. The original Samsung cable works every time.

I have seen that a lot.
I actually bought a few spare Samsung ones from eBay to make sure I would always have a good cable.

Well... one case to the next is different. .. ive never had issue using a lg cord moto cord or htc on a samsung device. .
I just think that the op post if you read his initial problem and how it was stated i think it had to do with trying to odin in the pit section instead of pda.
Ive seen this issue before.
Once again glad its fixed

Nope, it was in the PDA section. I'm familiar with Odin and used it several time in the past (on my Note 8.0) . I believe the error message was either due to corrupt download and/or the USB cable. Anyway so glad it was solved quickly and thanks again for your help.

Pit file. That solved my problems. Flash it alone, then flash a good stock rom.
