Ok so been flashing roms for a couple of months. Read and watched everything I could find. On bricking and. Followed all instructions. But one brain lapse and soft bricked my phone last night. Here's what happened. I flashed ff18 update zip and rooted phone. Then installed cwm safe version. No problems. Then went to Aokp rom. Had no problems there. Here is where I messed up. I have always. Odined back to el29 root before so I thought you could.do the same with ff18 root. Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I did this it stuck on boot screen. After playing around with my usb jig finally was able to get to odin mode. Flashed el29 root. Stuck in boot loop. Then got into android. Recovery. Data wipe. And all good now. So lesson learned. Just putting this out there. So people don't make the same mistake. If this helps please hit the thanks button.
Hey agats recovery and kernel v 2.2 would have been the best that's got a patched eMMC,
thanks
Was running agat. The kernel was ff18 that the rom came with. I think it had more to with. When I tried to odin back to ff18 with root. I could be wrong. Everything I read on the new aokp rom it should have been safe.

As long as the Odin package contains the system and kernel you can Odin to and from anything. Because Odin will completely overwrite those two things, again as long as they are both included in the Odin tar. If it only has the system and not the kernel you could find yourself in big trouble.

Thanks didn't check to see if it had the kernel.in the odin one click. Ps went and checked it does have the kernel. I not sure why it happened.
Ok went and checked it has the kernel. Not sure what happened.
I agree Odin is safe and something else had to have happened.
Maybe a bad download?

It worked just fine when I went to stock ff18 and then odin one click rooted just fine. Ran it for a week. With no problems.

Drunken or sleepy stuper click something other than pda?
In my experience the only thing that would prevent you from getting to recovery is partition corruption/misinformation.
I bet this was an isolated fluke, or you clicked repartition without pit, or you clicked phone instead of pda, or accidentally unplugged too soon... etc.
Not by any means pointing fingers at anyone btw, I am just listing the ways that I've seen stuff messed up in the past.
There is no option in odin one click ff18 with root. There is no problem with my cord or usb port ether. Rooted phone after and flashed new rom. Did not have anymore problems after that.

Oh sorry, didn't notice the "one click" part.
(I once had a soft brick and the only conclusion I could come to was the emmc/sdcard stuff confused Andy about what goes where, also... some apps (namely boot screen changer) that worked fine on presource kernels now not only not work right, but have even soft bricked some people. There id some type of partition change that somebody is neglecting to mention, methinks...)

Thats my thoughts. Never had a soft brick before. I try to fallow all instructions. I now not to do that again.

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

The no data tar will completely flash but won't boot on it but you can put it back to stock like that with sfhub el29 no data
Some one in the data thread I gave u did remap the data partition to his Sd card and rigged it .... That could work until you get replaced

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.

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.

No I have an epic 4g touch, but when you flash el26 kernel threw PC Odin it gives you the yellow triangle. I bought a USB jig on amazon for like five bucks that will be here on Friday and it will get rid of that stupid yellow triangle and reset my Odin count too.

Wanted to try another ICS Rom. Jumping from phone to phone. I guess I missed something. Lol. I got a little carried away.
So I was running the Calkulin's ICS with EL29 + CWM Rogue...
Reading the AOKP first page... said go to EL26.
So I proceeded to EL26 using this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Tired to boot into recovery and start up the phone but it just sits on the SII screen. Did I do something?
So now I am back to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Got it back up and running and restored my last back up. Wah wah.
Was the EL26 a ODIN process or something I was to flash in recovery? Was I to flash the whole phone to EL26 and not just the boot? Would it be safe to just flash AOKP from EL29+Rogue?
OP said go back to el26 cwm recovery because that is a know safe GB recovery safe to wipe and flash in. So odin the el26 cwm recovery in Odin and then flash AOKP ad Gapps from there.

I've owned every smart phone on Sprint and owned multiple devices on T-Mobile.
I don't know it all, but I'm here to learn. I need to figure it out. Lol.
It bricked and I recovered. Just looking for direction on where to locate a file at this point since I couldn't find it.
I've been through this situation a couple times on other devices. Got a little ahead of myself again and just digging for answers.
TEP wouldn't cover any of this since it's all caused by the end user.
Thanks for the other above posts. I shall stick around on one rom and it's revisions until something happens.

U can flash to things safely, just have the right software. Keep el26 cmw kernel tar thats found on rwilco12's kernel repository on ur phone for mobile Odin and on ur PC for regular Odin and you'll be OK.

I have been riding the stable ROM train for a little too long
Hey guys, I need some help,
I have been using CleanGB v1.1.2 for a long time. Recently, I've been having a huge problem. Whenever I use ANY ROM, after about ten to twenty minutes, my phone just becomes *slow* as molasses. It's unnerving. It could be at the bootloader screen... it could be in the ROM itself... but if I'm using ANYthing but the stock ROM with everything unrooted, the phone just goes slow-as-*&#^-as-*&&& and I have to pull the battery out after ten to twenty minutes.
Any ideas?
My ROMs aren't corrupted. I've tested them all and I've tried installing and rooting from different computers with the same problem. I have tried CleanGB v.1.1.2 and People's 2.2.1 and Thunderhawk 5.1. All have the same problem after ten to twenty minutes.
EDIT - I should add that I have rooted (even as of today) other people's Epic 4Gs and none of them have had the same issue as mine, so I know there's something going on with my phone, in particular.
The only thing I can think may be doing this is that I use the CWM flash + the FC09 rom method to root my phone. Maybe I should be rooting it using Odin as I used to do back in the day.
When I go back *from* the root to the unroot, I always re-partition and time reset in Odin with a stock ROM. No problems after that.

What do *you* think is the best way to root using ODIN? I think the problem is that I've been rooting using the easier, flash-to-CWM in Odin and then flash the rooted ROM from CWM. I think I need to do it all from ODIN and repartition at that level.

Is it happening with your new phone as well? I recommended flash the rom of your choice do not install any apps for a day or two. If all is fine install one app a day till you find which app. My guess would be a app that you use that needs root because it doesn't happen on stock. Just my 2 cents.

I am able to odin the kernal but it just sticks on the Samsung logo if I try to access CWM.
It used to reboot and either go right into CWM or I would do Volume Up and Power to access.
I am currently on Paradox Rom GB27. I am trying to flash a ROM that needs EL26 or EL29 but cant access.
Any idea why I cannot access?
Also, if I have the charger plugged in (usb to comp), the screen gets stuck on a battery icon like its charging but doesnt move.
(think thats just because the charger is plugged in) BUT it seems that whatever this kernal is doing it the phone it is Freezing it at that first boot point.
I reflashed GB27 so im fine for now but just want to solve this mystery.
Any help appreciated! thanks!!

I can try mobile odin. I have the full version. I will give it a shot. The thing is
I had those kernals for over a year, always used them, worked fine.
Now all of a sudden they dont. I tried downloading agai , checked md5, everything appears correct.

No luck with mobile odin. Same thing. Stuck at the White Samsung Logo.
I am out of options. Unless there is another kernel I can try that is similar to el26 + el29.
Its weird how gb27 works fine... I just dont understand that. Could something be broke or misconfigured on my phone to not allow
installing el26 + el29?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I will stick with Paradox for now.
I wanted to try multi window rom but flashing on gb27 gives force closes and constant reboots.
Is it possible that once im on gb27, I cant go back and flash a gb rom? Ive done it
Before so thats why im stumped. Its like my phone doesnt support it.
I went on rwilco and downloaded multiple files and made sure they were with cwm.
They all do the same thing. Heres one for you... would water damage cause those kernels not to work?
Phones fine besides the kernel issue.
Also is it possible when doing cleanup on my phone and deleting
Old backups cause an issue? I thought to myself... wait I can restore an old rom with
El29! Lol no where to be found, already got rid of them.

I've flashed many ROMs..from GB to JB and back the other way..lol. Never had that problem..you could try to go into recovery and flash the format all x 2.. Then flash the el26 kernel zip..reboot recovery.. I don't know...might work..The format all x 2 will get ya ready for flashing GB/ICS so it might help..once on el26 you can use jb format all x 2 to get ready for the new jb ROM flash.. Just a thought...

Try doing an Odin stock rooted Rom flash on ICS and then working from there using mobile Odin. Sometimes I can't do the pc Odin for those kernels so I use mobile Odin and it works perfect.
If you're trying to flash the new SHOShock Rom by TD then I'm having issues with that too. My phone gets stuck on a boot cycle and if I try to flash a nandroid back up then it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Only way out of it was flashing a GB27 rooted stock Rom in pc Odin.

Good call, @FuMMoD.. I had told him about using mobile Odin...And I figured a back to stock ICS rooted then flash the el29 would be the next thing to try..I just hadn't heard from him if the wipe zip had helped.. Good looking out.. Nice to see people trying to help..This is the best forum...in my opinion..

Just going off from where you left off man. I figured I would put my 2 cents in cause it sure can be a headache sometimes. I noticed when I'm out of luck pc Odin always saves me. I agree this community is great when it comes to helping each other.

Had a similar issue yesterday. I flashed the el29 recovery without wiping the /preload first, and it would not boot. Booted back into gb27 agat recovery via Odin, wiped the /preload, flashed el29 zip, and a successful boot. Don't know if it is the same issue, but that is my story...

How did you wipe the preload? I'm having issues flashing shostock and that might help me successfully flash it. Thanks!

First, download the el29 recovery kernel zip located in the rwilco repository.
Next either flash, or already be on the gb27 agat recovery kernel (also can be found in repository).
While in agat recovery, navigate to "mounts and storage"
Select "format /preload" (and whatever else you want to wipe out)
Back out, then "install zip from SD card"
Flash the el29 zip and you should be good to go.
