EDIT: Sorry, this post wen't to completely wrong place. Hope some mod can move this to right section.
I know. There's number of similar threats. I have read them all. Or at least feels like it.
I managed to soft brick my sgs2. I was playing with this new lol boot (dual boot app) from market. I think I pushed something wrong in this app. After that my intention was to make a CWM backup before I start to play seriously with lol boot. At the second I pressed backup from the menu, my phone shut down. Now I'm in a sitsuation whre I can't enter recovery mode. There's just this Samsung Galaxy logo. At the time I had CheckRom v4 installed.
My intention was to flash stock rom via odin. I can enter to download mode just fine BUT odin or kies isn't able to connect to phone. Kies is recognizing the usb connection, but fails to connect it properly. Here's a list what I've tried so far:
- Restart PC (100x)
- Restart Odin (101x)
- Restart Kies
- Reinstall USB Drivers (with Kies and without)
- Trying different computer which has never seen Kies or any Samsung USB drivers
- Reinstalling Windows (W7 x64)
- 3 different USB cables (2 stock Samsung)
- Different USB ports
- Also Nexus S USB drivers as mentioned on another thead in XDA
- Starting odin after USB connection, and before
- Googling with any keywords I have come up
Is there anything else I can do for now?
you mean when you try to connect to odin there is no yellow square ?
maybe try to remove battery for + 90 sec and try to enter in odin ?
ps in this situation you must forget kies since its barely work when everything is fine with the phone ...
Thanks for your reply. Odin doesn't 'do' anything when i connect my device. I'm using version 4.43. When I connect s2, windows install two drivers, Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composite Device and Samsung Mobile USB Modem. I also tried taking battery off. Actually the battery wasn't attached for 6 hours, still no success.
I didn't see this in your list, but have you tried entering download mode and connecting?

can you enter recovery? which recovery you have? Clockwork? 2e, 3e?
Just trying to feel out your situation...
Guys. I think there is some Android God that came to help me. After ~36 hours of googling, crying and throwing the phone to the wall, I've managed to solve my problem! As I was googling cheap shotgun for me, I had a vision. Why not, let's try older odin. The solution was v1.83. And right when I plugged in my phone with this odin, it got recognized! At the same second! Nuff said, I'm satisfied. And do you know what is the best part? I flashed with original stock rom and every app, every launcher and so on was STILL WORKING and running!
Thanks to everyone. I'll be more careful next time!
EDIT: How the heck the custom binary counter went to zero? I was thinking its only possible with usb jig?
not older odin! but the one u need for sgs2 (and 1) only use odin 3 v. 1.83 or v. 1.3.
The one you said IS NOT FOR YOUR PHONE. Sorry I missed that text.
So if I understood you correctly, u are saying that I flashed my phone with wrong version of odin (1.83) ? Sorry, I'cant understand english too good, so can you say your point more literally and s_l_o_w_l_y? Thanks
I only use odin3 v1.3 or odin 3 v.1.83.
As far as I know, you cannot use anything else, since it is not made for your device!
I might be wrong, if so, somebody correct me.

So if you're correct on this, the reason why I couldn't get my phone recognized was the wrong version of odin?

gratz!
to reset your binary, there is only one way to do it. u are right, usb jig.
however, beware, i read somewhere saying that GB ver 2.3.4 onward has a new version of bootloader which prevent usb jig from resetting the counter, which mean samsung is trying to lock the bootloader now. however, flashing the old bootloader still helps (claim by others).
Dear All,
I have encountered a problem with my note 2 that unfortunately closes a lot of doors for me to fix. I thought about asking you guys and hopefully this has not been asked before. Ok so my problem is that I had rooted phone ages ago and i had SuperSU installed with the root. Later on some official update came out and I let it update. After that I might have lost my root there and then not sure though. When I try to do something in root it won't let me, also it fails when trying to change super user app. What is killing me mostly is that any computer I connect using different cables, won't recognise my phone, as if it was not even connected although it charges normally. At first it was sometimes charging and not, sometimes freezing if connected to the USB. It might be hardware related but I want to try to fix this issue first to be sure. I can't even use Odin since it's not being detected so unrooting and going back to the seller is out of question.
Can anyone help me please? I am thinking of trying custom firmware through sdcard installation but i cant even install CWM and when using official recovery the package is not accepted. (signature issues). There may be some easy workaround I do not know of hence me asking you experienced guys.
Big thanks for reading this and hopefully helping me.

So you mean odin is not detecting phone in download mode ?
Try connecting the phone and see if adb works but I don't really think it would work. Try another cable. Could be that usb port is damaged.
Try another recovery.

No, Odin is not detecting the phone although it starts charging like normal. I will check adb later tonight when I am on my home pc. I have tried in total 4 different cables same result. I have used 3 different operating systems on different computers, still not detected. Usb port might be damaged but I don't think they will be happy seeing its rooted.(they being the store i bought it from, that is why I have not gone to them yet.
I have a similar issue since 4.1.2 however my phone is recognized by computer and odin in download mode, are you sure you tried it on download mode?

Yes I have tried download mode, that's why this problem is killing me :/ The root access is completely unusable and not working too.
Hey Guys, so my sister formatted the root of the phone via windows and the sd card. I ran recovery menu to install a ROM and when i restarted my phone it bricked. No way to get it on or download mode or anything. When I connect it to odin it says "You need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it" THen it says windows can't format drive. Any suggestions? Someone had similar problem but for their touchpad

Yes, on windows it opens a window saying i need to format it, when I try it says it can't format the device. Via Linux, it opens tons of windows which crashes the computer. I have tried everything but can't figure out how to fix it. I'm thinking maybe a usb jig might turn it into download mode but we shall see. Any suggestions?
Have you tried opening Kies on your computer and selecting emergency firmware recovery? You should be able to enter your serial number and get back to stock.

Long time listener first time caller (this is my first post here) I'm going to try not to leave out any details. Bear with me.
I rooted my Tmobile Galaxy s3 for the first time and installed CM10.1. It was great for a few months, then it started getting glitchy. So I would flash the nightly release and it would be fine for a while. I decided to unroot and start fresh. It was then that I discovered the PC wouldn't recognize the device. I followed a youtube tutorial to unroot with Mobile Odin. I extracted and flashed a stock image called Tmobile_GS3_SGH-T999_4.0.4 after clearing counter with Triangle Away.
Well it seemed to go well, unrooted my device, but now the OS is incomplete. No internet app, messaging won't work at all, and it keeps crashing and freezing. The usb port is still not working so I cannot root with my computer, and the flash counter still says 1 and status says modified.
Tmobile sent me a new one on warranty, but I'm really worried they're gonna charge me 500 bucks because it's "modified". I have a few days before I have to send it back, Is there anyway that I can fix this without connecting it to my computer? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks

First thing to do is to put the phone into DOWNLOAD mode to TEST it and see if ODIN will recognize it.
If Odin recognizes it then there is NO need to send it back to Samsung, all it needs is a proper Odin flash.
Just because when all those missing apps and the usb had issues it does not necessarily mean that Odin will not recognize the phone.
If your computer is not working or you don't have a windows computer find a relative or a friend who has one.
Even a laptop computer would do just fine.
Good Luck!
Tried that
Thanks for your response, I have tried connecting it to Odin in download mode and it still will not see it. I really don't know what the problem could be. the usb used to work fine and there has been no physical damage.

Try a different usb cable and or plug usb into different port,
if that fails, re-install the Samsung usb drivers for the phone.
Remember, if the phone goes into download mode 99.999% of the time the phone
can be flashed successfully using Odin.
The main reasons for usb issues in "download mode" are either loose connection to computer's usb ports,
usb cable intermittant or the Samsung usb drivers in the computer are corrupted in one way or another.
Thanks again
I guess I should have put this in my first post. I have tried 2 different cables in every port on 2 different computers. I have re installed the drivers multiple times as well. Also the new phone they sent me is recognized just fine.

You are in a tough spot. I don't know if you have the stock recovery or not but if not you can either download the stock rom on the phone again...you know the best way although unethical really...being that the usb port is down is to re root it and flash a rom like the gt 1300 or whatever the international version is and intentionally hard brick your phone. Hard brick meaning won't even turn on withOut jtag and that even just clears everything out and reloads software like from the factory.If the phone won't boot up then there's no way for the person to tell its been modified. Majority of the time samsung doesn't get the damaged phones its some idiot making 8 bucks an hour to refurbish phones. That's what I would suggest you do being that the counter is still saying one flash
tmobile s3 running wicked. best rom i've ever used
Pretty sure I'm on stock recovery. it does give me an option to "apply update from external storage"
Thanks for all your help, I'll try to flash the stock rooted rom through the stock recovery although i'm not optimistic.
I will check out the wicked rom you mentioned, although I am a little hesitant to root my new one after this ordeal.
but how do I re root it if I have no usb or custom recovery?

If you can get your phone to boot normally with any stock rom rooting will not be a problem at all.
If you get the phone working and booting properly you would be very lucky but from reading
everything you have wrote so far I highly doubt that you can successfully flash any rom at all
unless you have forgotten to tell us something.
Don't worry about rooting, worry about getting the phone to boot and work properly with stock rom.
yep. running stock recovery. hopeless?

I never said a word about stock recovery, I said STOCK ROM.
Invest in a JIG, it puts your phone into download mode instantly even if you cannot
do it manually with the three buttons as long as the phone is not completely dead.
You can buy a jig for less than $4.00 shipped on eBay, it's great little tool.
All you do is remove the battery from the phone and put it back in then simply plug
the jig into the usb port then in a couple seconds it will be in download mode then you
can unplug the jig and the phone is ready to be odin flashed..
Remember what I said before, just because the usb did not work with some
rom you flashed it does not mean that it will not work for download mode.
The jig was one of the best investments I have made when I started using these samsung android phones.
Once in download mode it will allow you flash the stock or stock rooted Jellybean 4.1.1 rom.
This is my best advice.
I am not having a problem getting into download mode, I will take your advice and buy a jig though in case I ever need it. Again, thanks for all your help, I think I may have to send it back and hope for the best.

Before sending it back, if I were you I would find a friend or family member who has
a windows computer and just for the hell of it install the usb drivers in the computer
just to see for sure that while in download mode and connected usb cable if Odin still
is not lighting up the [COM:xx] top left rectangle on Odin screen.
I have odin flashed many phones dozens of times in the past 3 years and I have yet
to come accross one which goes into download mode but odin is not reconized
unless there is something wrong with the windows computer or usb ports and drivers.
That only happens as I said before, if there is something wrong with the drivers,
usb ports and or usb cables or some other malfunction in the windows computer.
Just think, if it works no need send the phone to samsung plus you would have learned
something too.
I did try my other computer with the same results, tomorrow I will try it with my girlfriends laptop, I am starting to think something happened to the usb jack. It didn't work before I unrooted it either, that's why I used Mobile Odin. I am all about learning this stuff though. I plan to root every new phone I get, this has just been a little frustrating.

This is the first I heard that the usb did not work before and the usb socket might be broke.!!!
In that case since you cannot use the Wifi in your phone to transfer and install apps since it cannot boot normally
(unless I am missing something again) and you cannot use usb and it would not even help to remove the external
sd and copy any apps at all since you would have no way to install the apps.
Then you are right, you have to send it back, exchange it and hopefully you can come up
with a good enough excuse why it's not working so samsung will not charge anything )which I doubt)
I must not have been clear, I can use the phone. it makes calls, the wifi works, i can use third party messaging and browser apps. again, there has been no physical damage. the socket worked a few weeks ago when I rooted it. I only noticed it not working when I went to unroot it.
So basically it sounds like there is no way to root or install custom recovery without usb, correct?

Hello,
I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 today. I copied several ROM zip files (i think there were 4) to my SD card to test out using MTP. As you may know, MTP (on Windows 7) is not the greatest experience. Since the copy was taking so long, I canceled it. I now know that when you do that MTP seems to leave the incomplete file there with the fill file size. I suspect the is the root of the issue.
I went to install the Omega v46.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM after testing a different one that I was not happy with. Omega game up with its installer, everything seemed to work good. It asked to wipe the user data, and reboot the device. All looks good. I could not wait to try another ROM.
Blank screen.... waiting, waiting... Maybe they just have no boot logo.... waiting. Okay after waiting several hours for it to boot I thought maybe I would try to reboot and clear the user data and cache myself. Tried to reboot. Nothing happened. No vibration, no LED, not logo.
Cannot get into Download mode. Cannot get into Recovery.
Pull battery, wait. Put battery in while holding Volume key, Power button and Home. Nothing at all. Battery pull and waited a few hours. Tried again. Nothing. Panic starts.... I remembered the MTP file copy and checked the ROM zip files. Incomplete zip file.... Damn.
It is not easy to cover everything I have tried to fix it or all of the research I have done, but I'll try.
Researched bricked devices. Learned of hard vs soft. This does not appear to be soft to me, but why would my bootloader be damaged by installing this ROM?? I am new to this, but I think I understand the difference pretty good.
I spent the last few hours trying to find a micro USB cable that I could use to make a USB Jig. I did that using this guide and it did not help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121306
And this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8822843
Researched the Jig more to make sure I got it right. Tested again with multimeter... It all looks good to me. Damn, it must be a real hard brick.
When I plug the phone into my PC without the battery in the phone I get a red LED.
When I plug it in with the battery in, I get no LED, no screen/logo, ect. Nothing. Windows does detect a device called "QHSUSB_DLOAD". I got the Qualcomm driver and QPTS hoping that there would be something that I could do... maybe backup my friend's bootrom and put it on my phone... The COM11 port from the device is not detected, so even if I could figure out a way to do what I said, I have no way to do it. Could be a Windows 7 unsigned drivers issue, but I have tried 3 different solutions to that without knowing how the device should look in Device Manager if the driver is accepted.

By Mr.X ''If you want to create your own dump from a friends device the command in a rooted adb shell would be as follows but not exact depending where you want the dump file to end up being on your sd cards. "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/sdcard1/debrick.bin bs=1024 count=81920" That is what I used my my co-workers CM 10.2 rom to get the 4.3 bootloader/debrick dump. NOTE: the device has to be rooted with a working busybox that supports the dd command''

Hello,
I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 today. I copied several ROM zip files (i think there were 4) to my SD card to test out using MTP. As you may know, MTP (on Windows 7) is not the greatest experience. Since the copy was taking so long, I canceled it. I now know that when you do that MTP seems to leave the incomplete file there with the fill file size. I suspect the is the root of the issue.
I went to install the Omega v46.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM after testing a different one that I was not happy with. Omega game up with its installer, everything seemed to work good. It asked to wipe the user data, and reboot the device. All looks good. I could not wait to try another ROM.
Blank screen.... waiting, waiting... Maybe they just have no boot logo.... waiting. Okay after waiting several hours for it to boot I thought maybe I would try to reboot and clear the user data and cache myself. Tried to reboot. Nothing happened. No vibration, no LED, not logo.
Cannot get into Download mode. Cannot get into Recovery.
Pull battery, wait. Put battery in while holding Volume key, Power button and Home. Nothing at all. Battery pull and waited a few hours. Tried again. Nothing. Panic starts.... I remembered the MTP file copy and checked the ROM zip files. Incomplete zip file.... Damn.
It is not easy to cover everything I have tried to fix it or all of the research I have done, but I'll try.
Researched bricked devices. Learned of hard vs soft. This does not appear to be soft to me, but why would my bootloader be damaged by installing this ROM?? I am new to this, but I think I understand the difference pretty good.
I spent the last few hours trying to find a micro USB cable that I could use to make a USB Jig. I did that using this guide and it did not help

And this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8822843
Researched the Jig more to make sure I got it right. Tested again with multimeter... It all looks good to me. Damn, it must be a real hard brick.
When I plug the phone into my PC without the battery in the phone I get a red LED.
When I plug it in with the battery in, I get no LED, no screen/logo, ect. Nothing. Windows does detect a device called "QHSUSB_DLOAD". I got the Qualcomm driver and QPTS hoping that there would be something that I could do... maybe backup my friend's bootrom and put it on my phone... The COM11 port from the device is not detected, so even if I could figure out a way to do what I said, I have no way to do it. Could be a Windows 7 unsigned drivers issue, but I have tried 3 different solutions to that without knowing how the device should look in Device Manager if the driver is accepted.
Looked for other solutions...

Bad news, need to send device back... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651149
This looks possible, but I have not tried it yet because the steps are not that clear and it requires a Linux box, and I don't really want to dig into that can of worms right now. (which distro, which PC do I use, what software/packages are required, ect) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916796
Possible solution with linux box... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239451
Goes on to this one, a lot like the other linux option above... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125
If I am missing anything, please let me know. Is this Linux option really a possibility? Do I need a Rogers bootloader?
Perhaps I can use this idea to get my friend to back his up for me off his Rogers S3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374958
I could try the linux option tomorrow, or the JTAG tomorrow if I drive an hour away to a guy that can do it.

Just fyi, in case you didn't see my other posts about it, updating from 4.3 to 4.4.2 using Mobile Odin will brick the device. MO cannot flash the full firmware so your brick was caused by flashing the modem onto 4.3 firmware.

sir what to do now? as 4.3 debrick img above didnt worked for me
Do you have an I747M? If you have the I747 that image won't work.
I just posted two 4.3 images to try in the debrick thread. This should probably be discussed there anyway just so all of the info is easy to find.

its i747m rogers bricked it by flashing 4.4.2 with mobile odin
Mobile odin cannot flash the full firmware, so you ended up with the 4.4.2 modem on 4.3 firmware which we know will brick.
You will need to use a debrick.img from another I747M, probably from another Rogers one specifically. Not sure if it'll work or not from another carrier.
Note that we have yet to get it working for any device that bricked by flashing the modem. Watch the debrick thread for updates.
