hi,
i have a Gio S5660 that i bricked trying to sim unlocking it before putting it on sale.
the device can get into Download mode (no recovery mode though) but Odin 4 doesn't flash anything anymore, tried different roms (stock, moded, froyo, GB) nothing works, Odin 4 says PASS but after rebooting the screen keeps on blinking the ugly Samsung logo.
i tried to make a Heimdall flashing package but when i try to load a rom into the packager i get an error that says no Firmware.xml found.
is it even possible to use Heimdall or other Odin versions to flash a Gio, if so how do u make a package for that ?

After flashing with odin and get in bootloop, press the power button for 10 seconds, after restart press home and power until get in to recovery, there should factory reset and the most important - fix rfs or something, can't remember now exactly, the phone will reboot automaticaly and you have to wait some time to boot.
Which method did you try to unlock it with?
HEllo,
Same problem, keep blinking trying to boot with Samsung white letters.
FR
What, and how EXACTLY did you tried to flash with odin? (Which rom, Onepackage/multipackage, tar/md5...?)
Hello,
Still fighting to bring it into life.
Well the problem began when unlocking with the thread instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705
Everything seemed to go as expected but...
After that it never rebooted well, still in cycle on www.samsung letters firs screen.
Even so i tried to flash it with ODIN into Stock Rom 2.3.5 and the same problem.
Sometimes i still can have the "Recovery Mode" and flash other versions, i have the PASS message ok, but when reboot... same problem.
And with the Oneclick Unbrick recovery it fails...
Really worried abou this... nice brick!
Thanks to all that are trying to help!
At the beginning of the process it hads the 2.3.3 version locked to Vodafone.
Maybe you just misspoke, but you can't use Odin if your phone is in recovery mode. It has to be in downloading mode.
In my opinion:
1. Boot into recovery (are you using cwm?)
2. Do a factory reset+wipe everything (incl. dalvik cache)
3. Turn off the phone
4. Download the latest ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16979769&postcount=547
(S5660XXKS2)
5. Boot your phone into downloading mode
6. Flash with Odin (this is NOT "One package", you have to put everything in the right spot /boot, phone, etc/)
Hello again,
Yes i mean Download mode, i', flashing with ODIN but "one package Versions" i'm goin to try next your link already downloading.
Even if i can not unbrick it (wich is strange because i still can flash it) i must thans you very much for great cooperation!
Working...
You're welcome. When I bricked my phone, this is how I got it working again. I hope it works for you too.
Keep my posted...
Hello again,
Well just flashed again with ODIN (not One Package) and last firmware (2.3.5) and the report is that at the end i have the PASS confirmation but phone keeps flashing and does not reboot alone as supposed (waited 15 mn).
Unplug USB cable, battery out, battery in, power on and it returns to its "preference": alternates between dark scredn and those White letters saying SAMSUNG... infinite loop.
This is strange, i'm tired of seaching everything and this is not a normal beahaviour for this procediure.
I can follow all the steps... and at the final... same result.
Don't really know what to do next.
Once more, thanks for all!
Fernando
I'm sorry it didn't work. I have one last suggestion. The firmware you just tried to flash has a few md5 files. Rename them to tar, an extract them. The files you will find inside are the ones you can flash with Heimdall (data.rfs, system.rfs, etc).
I can't tell you much more, because I never used it (just googled a bit right now), but you can probably find a few tutorials about the subject.
Hello,
The fight continues and for all that i've read so far i almost sure that someting happend with the EFS partition.
I think that, case possible, the way is trying to flash an EFS new partition.
Someone knoes ho to do that?
Thanks!

please give more information about stuck on logo (ex: logcat)
and dont play with EFS partition. its very dangerious.
it can really bricked your phone
When you can go to recovery mode with your gio you should flash ext4-formatter.zip(download,put on sdcard,go to recovery find `installzip from sdcard` and flash it.
the internal phone memory has to be in ext4 format ,if not you have the above problems.
after flashing you can install a rom.
By the way,i tryed flashing with heimdall-frontend ,i think it can ,but you have to rename it to a .tar gz file it wil be compiled automatic adding it to heimdall,but...than it says
`firmware.xml is missing from the package` , so...you have to ad(make or edit an existing one,and insert it in the package) that file... which contains name rom ed , than it probably works...
What is heimdall?
sort of odin but odin doesnt run on linux,for flashing
SOLUTION!!
Hey , I figured out a while back how to sort this out... Odin works,The reason though it bootloops is just that the \Data and \Cache Partitions are still in Ext4 Format... Stock Rom uses RFS... So The Solution is - After you Flash Your Stock Rom Via Odin, after it says "PASS" , Unplug USB then Reboot into the stock recovery mode by Holding HOME and POWER Button , Then format Cache and Then Wipe Data/Factory Reset (By doing this it formats back to RFS and then it can operate) ... then reboot to system ... And Voila , It works!!!! (Always works for me)... Hope this Helps Just Remember to USE ODIN (Heimdall apparently not Gio Supported)
Never thought I'd be the one to create a thread like this..
After I flashed the OKV4 ROM, strange things started to happen (this was after a full wipe). Apps kept force closing, etc. Later that day, when I picked up my phone, I saw the samsung logo flashing over and over. Making me unable to enter recovery.
Download mode still worked though and I proceeded to flash a stock firmware via ODIN. This did not help. Oh, and the Odin flash succeeded, without rebooting my phone though...
So, I'm still stuck with my phone which can't seem to get out of this strange loop.
HELP :C
I remember reading somewhere here that if you have flashed a diff FW now and then a possibility the last recent kernel is still in the system folder etc....this is maybe the cause of the bootloop.
Since you had confirmed going to download mode is possible..this may work logically... Why not do the following :
Get your phone rooted via Recovery (there is a thread here by The-E)..Once done flash arco68's CWM Recovery....Boot to recovery n do this :
Factory Format....Wipe n Clear including Delvik...Then go to Mount n Storage wipe every single folder...System...Data...Etc (this will wipe every single data left behind but I assure you the CWM will not be wiped) once done reboot n put the device into DL mode and use Odin to flash back to the stock FW.
From this moment the recovery will be replaced by stock version and the stock FW will be restored....once it boot up..Walla as I had done this over two times :
Best of Luck !!

I think you misunderstood me :/
This isn't the ordinary bootloop where the boot animation plays. It resets literally 2 seconds after starting. This makes me unable to enter the recovery at all. Thanks for the effort tho.
Tl;dr:I can not enter recovery mode.

Hi all,
i've search and tried most of the methods on threads with similar issue but to no avail.
So i'm posting my situation here hoping someone with the expertise can help me.
My IMEI became null/null after flashing Criskelo rom. I had previously saved a copy of my efs.img on my PC.
When restoring my EFS backup, it says "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3: write error: No space left on device"
So i used Odin, flash a stock ROM with pit, bootloader, pda, phone and csc.
The flashing was successful with no errors but stuck samsung logo for as long as i can wait.
I then booted to stock recovery and notice it says "E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)"
so i did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Reboot. Still stuck at Samsung logo.
I tried to sideload my efs.img but there is a "E: signature not verified" error
So i thought what the heck and flashed Chenglu's CWM via Odin. Phone successfully boot to CWM
i wiped data/factory reset, cache and dalvik. Reboot and still stuck at Samsung logo.
I then tried flashing CF-Autoroot, it was ok as well with no issues but stuck at Samsung logo again.
Rebooted back to CWM, Tried to mount efs, got an error saying error mounting efs
i flashed various stock rom via Odin, all process PASS with green but mostly stucked at samsung logo...
is my device soft bricked? or is my sd card is dead? or is my efs partition fried?
anyone kind enough to share his complete backup file? my country sells the n7105.
i bought the export n7100 instead so its kinda hard for me to find a friend with the same fone.
i have been flashing roms since the good old Galaxy S and this is the 1st time i cannot revive my phone from past experience...
bump for you, im facing the same error.
Hi mate, im not sure if this would work but have you tried the super wipe mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925402.
worth a shot cant make it any worse.
also checkout this for a solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=E: signature not verified
Hi thanks... sadly links are down. will try the super wipe thing.
i remember doing the wipe in TWRP before flashing Criskelo.
i did get away with the signature thing. its easy. just turn it off in CWM.
i went to my local samsung service center and they rejected my phone as its considered "export" to them
did the super wipe.
Flash stock with Odin.
Still keep getting stuck at samsung logo on boot and recovery still shows : Error: Can't mount /efs
cant you restore it to factory settings and return it to where you bought it from.

problem is that going into download mode shows this :

Edit the ini file for Odin and set PhoneEFSClear=1 that'll check the EFS Clear option (even though it remains grey). See if that helps.

Has anyone found a solution to this yet?!

I have the exact same problem
i have the same problem . . and to make matter worse i don't even have any warranty . . :crying: . ..
is there no way to to get the phone to boot in to the OS regardless of any functionality ??
I couldn't find the topic where i learned this info, but it's something like this: if you flashed the modem (i think so) and you have an EFS backup like me, you just need to flash any other thing and restore the EFS backup. But, if you don't, you must stay with the modem.
okay, i just found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332913

Completely stock Note 2 just got screwed after flashing new 4.4.2 ROM for my country via Odin, the ROM booted fine, transferred contents to PC, factory reset the phone, set google account and reinstalled apps and transferred saved data back. Data, phone calls and everything else was working. The phone got to 10% battery lost network (this is normal lately lol) and shut off when battery died. Phone never rebooted and stuck at Samsung logo. Recovery reports "/efs I/O mount error" tried the guides by ketan and a couple others nothing seems to help
same applies to me. Perhaps some hardware fried is my guess.

Hi and thanks a bunch for the reply....
the battery reset part didin't work...I have tried the method you mentioned the easy method...where you push the CWM recovery file to the device through ODIN...now I hvae the CWM based recovery v6.0.1.4, I have factory reset the devvice through CWM as well and rebooted the phone through there..but still stuck on samsung logo..I think the phone doesn't have any ROM to boot from...I have the stock .tar file for this phone but how should I send it to phone? CWM says to 'install .zip/update file" from external sd card...
my stock file is .tar and it has boot.img inside...also if anyone know a place where I can find my ROM, please tell me that as well....
please tell me what should I do now...waiting for your reply...
Dude just use the emergency recovery vie kies, return to stock.
If possible. Save all cwm files to computer. If you were smart you made a backup image to you ext sd or recovery image we.
Gonna be a huge file be about ten min to save to pc.
Save the entire cwm folder. Yes everything .
Save to your pc.
Use kies emergency recovery.
Re root phone.
Install cwm recovery.
Make a recovery img.(jic you f.u. again lol)
Now put ext sd card in phone
Boot to recovery and try the recovery images again.
If nothing else your phone should be back to stock.

Download a sock rom from here. Link:-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696&highlight=cf+autoroot
After downloading go into donwload mode by pressing volume down+home button+ power key(in this order)
Connect phone via USB and open ODIN.
VIa the PDA option browse to the stock rom you downloaded and click Start and then wait till the rom is flashed. This should do it,
After flashing download this for rooting and extract the file to tar

There are 2 variants of the Note 2. GT7100 and GT7105. Which one do you have exactly? Go into settings, about device, and Model number....
After you determine which one you have, unless it is a carrier specific one from America, just flash the stock gt7105 one or the gt7100 one from here...

Yo dude sorry I misunderstood what you said, for w/e reason i thought your recovery was borked and not that you were bricked.
SO listen first off dont be afraid of using odin, its not rocket science and you wont bork it up anymore than it already is.
out of curiosity do you happen to use rom manager?
IF so ditch that pos ap, and just stick with recovery like the cwm or twrp.
i found this for you and hope it helps you out.
keep searching and trying dont give up youll get it eventually.
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/
basically what the poster above me said, you're only going to be able to do recovery via odin.
its not a big deal just follow instructions.
hope the link helps.
Is there any solution for boot loop in gt-i9192?
My phone was rooted. I was using s5 rom proyect and my recovery was Philz Touch Recovery. I was happily using this rom for arround 8 months. Recently my phone was responding slow and my storage was almost full. One day while watching youtube videos my phone got hang! I just removed the battery and tried to restart. But there was a failure and no vibration. The phone is simply dead. I connected my charger and of :crying:course there was no indication. Later I went through several post to learn how to revive my phone from hard brick. I downloaded debrick.img file and made a bootable memory card. This time I was able to switch on my phone but it went through bootloop. The recovery mode takes too long to load and wiping cache and dalvik cache or even reset was not possible because of some error like E: failed to mount ......
Then I went into the download mode. and installed a firmware from sam mobile. Later I flashed CWM recovery through odin successfully.
But this bootloop still exists. Whenever I try to go into recovery mode it still takes a long time. And istead of loading CWM recovery it loads philz recovery mode that was previously installed
Please help I am tired

Dude,
I am also having a bootloop problem on my S4 Mini GT-I9192...
My TWRP recovery was working, I was using version 3.0.0.0 for serrano3gxx, but when I tried installing a custom rom, the right rom for gt-i9192!!!! for some stupid reason the twrp recovery keeps thinking that my phone is gt-i9190 !!!! it is so stupid!!!
for this stupid reason I couldn't install the ROM !!!
I decided to install the right recovery for my gt-i9192, so I downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed
now, there was a warning to not install the zip using the recovery, but how could I install the recovery if I am unable to install anything with Odin!!!!
Nothing at all!!! I can't install anything with Odin, it just gets stuck!!!! So frustrating!!!!
And now afer I installed it said the installation completed successfully, but..... I can not even get the phone in recovery mode!!!!
What happened??? can anyone please help!!!
I am stuck in this stupid bootloop problem, and now on top of it I can't even go to recovery mode!!!! Nothing!!!
It is useless to do anything with Odin either, it recognises the phone, it says Added! but cannot install anything, it just gets stuck
WHAT CAN I DO?????
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.

You can try this:
1. Download this file: openrecovery-twrp-3.0.0-0-serranodsxx-STABLE-signed.zip and copy the file in sd card

I had this problem once when I flashed an incompatible kernel, but I forgot how I got out of it. Best suggestion I have is take out the battery and put it back.
The "hard brick" you suffer the first time was likely a dead battery. The phone looks hard bricked when a battery is below critical energy, and not enough power is available to charge it with an USB. At that point, you had to wait for the energy in the battery to store up again, and then plug it into the USB to charge. Just a little power was necessary to get it charged again.
If you can still access download mode, flash the stock ROM baseband of your phone (you should know what this is). Your data will be wipe but at least you will be able to use the phone again.
