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.

And you were using a ics kernel with cwm huh ?

I did search all over xda and androidcentral, i was in ics 4.0.4. Thanks for the links i left the phone flashing, when i get home i will read those threads. If it all fails ill just go to sprint tech bench and get a refurbish replament.
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

i had CWM, i was running ics 4.0.4 fine build 30 since it came out. It just started the stupid animation loop and thats when i decided to do a data wipe in CWM. but then i did the ODIN One Click and it gets stuck on data.bin.
I work for Sprint....
This is my first time ever posting on any forums and i have been flashing since the EVO came out, i have flashed ICS to the EVO 4G and back to GB with no issues, this phone is the first to give me such issues.

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
Yes I had og evo nexus s and 3d ....this one sucks to have to flash the way we do but its the better phone so you do what you have to

You could have not said it any better lol, i on purpose broke my photon 4g and one of the replacements on the list was the E4GT and got that one sent to me lol, such an amazing phone but issues like this kill me. i did that rouge in odin and it just loops on the android with the box but does not do anything else.
Ill keep trying different things, custom count is at 3 maybe by the time i give up it might be in the 100's because i wont get a replacement till tuesday...

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

Just odin the el26+cwm kernel and reboot into recovery and wipe and flash like normal. I had the bootloop before snd this worked for me.

Edit: just read your whole post and it does sound like your bricked. You can try what I stated above, but I don't think it will work.

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.
PHONE WONT BOOT AFTER USING ALPHA 6 ICS(darchstar)
I was using this rom since it came out and haven't had 1 problem. after just using it normally it froze. did a battery pull and tried to reboot but was stuck on logo with the cm9 animation. so i went to recovery mode i had an error. i tried doing a format and froze. so i did another battery pull and now my phone wont boot into recovery or download mode. all i get is a blue led light. any ideas?
I'd like to think that putting BIGGER red text in the OP's might help but apparently not...

My daughter's EVO is constantly rebooting every 15-30 seconds. I can't get it to stay on long enough to run any RUU to get it back to stock to bring into Sprint. Any suggestions?
It reboots in bootloader too?

Bootloader is ok, but I can't find an IMG to flash to get back to stock recovery and stock ROM, with s-on to go into a Sprint store...Google is sick of me today!
Only helpful things I can find are the RUUs which need me to get booted and stay up and running...

If your rooted,go to recovery and wipe cache and delvik,then go to advanced and fix permissions,if that doesnt help,wipe everything,but sd card and start over,this can probably be fixed without returning it.If your having problems with getting to recovery,then go through the bootloader,the old way,power off the phone then power on holding the volume rocker in the down position.
Just get latest ota from the rom page rename to ph36img.zip and put on root of sd card and let it install. That will put it back to stock. Will still be s off but sprint doesn't usually check bootloader for security status in my experiences especially since it's a hardware issue

It will stay on in recovery, I wiped everything, fixed permissions, and did a factory reset, but after booting, it won't even stay on long enough for boot animation to finish...It's acting like a hardware problem, but I think not since it's staying up in recovery...

So I got this phone the other day, I had the galaxy blaze, was lucky enough to sell it for 300. I talked the dude down on my s2 because it had scratches on the bezel and back door and I know I can get the 3 piece kit for $30, so I gave him 260.
Anyways it seems the phone has some software issues, it constantly freezes, sometimes tapping the text to open the keyboard it takes a couple taps to get the keyboard up. When I shut the phone off it stays at the "goodbye" screen so I have to pull the battery, same with restarting. Should I try to flash the factory software or something? I'm currently stock rooted (rooted it myself but it was the same crap before I rooted).
If so what does do I need? Already have Odin and drivers.

That's normal. It means it has the latest OTA update. If you are on stock GB and you want to go to the latest ICS, you can use kies or Odin. I recommend Odin back to stock or flash Jedi mind trick. That's one solid ROM! :thumbup:
Sent from JMT Goodness
I'm supposedly on stock ics. Should I Odin back in case the previous owner has it effed up, then re root, then flash the Rom? Is there a way to Odin the stock software and keep root, or should I start from scratch?

I already have Jedi mind trick downloaded from the other day, I tried it out and nandroided back to stock ics, but I'm thinking about getting jmt back.just not sure if I should flash the stock files first for fear of something is hacked up

I'm running into the same thing with my GTab. I've done a whole mess of flashing and now when I Nandroid back to my stock HC backup I'm getting nasty side effects. I'm thinking of flashing stock firmware to just start clean all over again. Seems to me if you ever think you've got less than expected stuff happening and you've done everything right, flash factory and start over...
That said I'm probably in for it here with my S2 soon LOL
I'm wondering if it will even make a difference going to a clean slate then flashing jmt. Not sure if there is any prerequisited files that got messed up (flashing the wrong radio or img files)

Anyway tried to reflash my phone I seem to have screwed up the partition I think because it hangs on the Samsung logo. Tried to reboot into stock recovery and it doesn't do it (instead it keeps rebooting).
Trying to reflash the partition info, but for that I think I need a PIT file. Anyone know where I can get that??? I have been Googling the hell out of it and can't find it.

Yes.... I have flashed the stock ROM 4 to 5 times. It flashes successfully, reboots, and sticks on the Samsung Logo screen. Tried to reboot into recovery, and as long as I am holding the 3 buttons for recovery, it goes into a boot loop (like it tries to go to recovery, it isn't there, and reboots).

For recovery
- Power Down + Home + Power
- Release Power at first sign of SAMSUNG Logo EXCEPT Power Down + Home
- Release Power Down + Down at first blink of Samsung
- Once in recovery, factory reset, format option
- Reboot, wait for 1-2 mins

did you also try clearing the cache? i've had a few hangs on the samsung logo, clearing the cache helped it get through
I feel so stupid. I didn't release power while trying to get into recovery. Although I have another problem now, and the searches online don't look good.
My Baseband and IMEI is showing as "Unknown"... Also the phone is very laggy.
EDIT
On this thread I started out by saying that I think I clicked Re-partition, but I actually think I accidentally clicked Nand Erase All... I can get to download mode and recovery mode, but my phone shows Baseband and IMEI of unknown. Any help?
More information:
When going to stock recovery I see a few instances of:
Failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument).
EDIT -
When booting phone I have no internal memory (16Gig).
that happened to me once when clicking a random box in odin without knowing what it did on my epic touch...thank god i work for sprint and was able to just order my own replacement sounds like you wiped your IMEI, and thats a ***** to inject back in...youll need to the help of a true dev to restore, but your best bet is to hard brick and claim warranty, friend.

Of course this would happen today, where warranty replacement will take 2 days to get to me.
I already installed and ran (barely) Triangle Away, and got the counter reset so I am good there for warranty. I am begging the community for two things.
If someone knows a "true dev" that may be able to help me, I would sincerely ask that you point them to this thread and see what they can do. I will be monitoring this thread VERY CLOSELY until I say otherwise (in this thread).
Can someone point me in a direction to hard brick my phone???
here is the pit and when you go into recovery you have to factory reset or it stays bricked http://db.tt/gKSxQKWJ
go into odin and place the stock rom in pda then place the pit on the top where it says pit and make sure to click repartition.then when done take the battery out boot into recovery then factory reset and it should work.
