If you can get into recovery i would try and put a rom on an external sd card (either through an adapter or other phone) and then put that sd card into the s3 and flash the rom.

Yes, just place the custom rom in an external sd card and reflash that.

I don't understand how Odin didn't work... Were you in download mode or recovery when trying to use Odin?

Yes I was it gave me an error I tried repeatedly

As has been said, try flashing a rom in recovery from a micro sd car. That should get you back up and running

USB & CMW NOT WORKING -Need to return to stock

Guys I have done it now. . I was rooting and ROMing my wifes phone without her knowledge, then had a brilliant Idea to update CWM to latest version. Tried Odin and discovered USB is broken, Tried to take it back to Sprint and they discovered ROOT and rejected me until I return it to stock. when I trie to load into recovery I got the image below, diligently I rebooted, reflashed. To know avail. What is a loving husband supposed to do?
I am running the latest ACS EPIC 4G ROM, nothing wrong with the ROM still works.
Problem:
1. USB does not work
2. Clockwork Mod Lost/overwritten
3. Need to return to stock to return to Sprint
4. wife is unaware of Mods, except to realize that phone is faster.

That isnt Clockwork. That is stock recovery. Flash CWM with odin or just odin to stock.
Edit: just read about USB. Hmmm. This is a hard one. Try using rom manager again and choose flash CWM.

BRICK???..Stuck in CMW recovery mode and cannot mount sdcard...hlep plz

Hey guys,
I tried flashing the ICS rom (cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxy2.tar.tar) yesterday, My Samsung Galazxy S2 is already rooted, but when the phone rebooted after flashing the custom rom, it reboots to a black screen with a blue light lit. i can boot into CMW recovery, but when i try to restore from the NAndroid, it gives the error E:Can't mount sdcard. when i try to mount the sdcard, it gives the same error. When i put the phone into download mode to use ODIN to reflash it, ODIN doesn't even recognize the phone. if itry to format the card through CMW, it gievs Error mounting sdcard.....skipping format....Done.. If i try mount USB storage, it gives E: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or...) How do i fix this, is it bricked? i never ran into this problem when i use to flash my EVO 4G, TP2, TP, or WM 6.5 Mogul.
Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer and try a different cable. I think Odin is your only hope unless you try an external SD card.

I download the Samsung drivers from the website and downloaded Kies. When i try to push the rom through ADB, ADB cmd does not show the phone under listed devicesor it does not show up in Device Manager.
Maybe a different computer? If that doesn't work then I think its safe to say your device is dunskies

try reformatting the card in a PC or different phone & see if it reads.. it could be a corrupt card, but if you can get to recovery it shouldn't be bricked

would it be possible to re-partition from recovery? & doesn't ODIN have a repartition option..?
Once again. Your do not own a Galaxy S2, you own a Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Unless the page you downloaded the file from has Epic 4G Touch written all over it, it probably has NOTHING to do with your phone.
You will not find any CM9 build for our phone on Cyanogen Mod's website and you will never flash a rom, tar or anything that is marked for the i9100 or any other variant other than the SPH-D710 to your device.
The bootloader in the International tar you ODIN'd will not work with your phones USB. You will never ODIN anything again in this state. Get it jtag'd or replaced. You can sit here and fart around with it but you flashed software that was not compatible with the your hardware and most of it will no longer work until it has been replaced.

That is a garunteed brick. Just like the ICS leaks from samsung the bootloader borks the usb and storage can not be mounted.
It is NOT for your phone. Flashing roms from that section is just plain suicidal. Its like playing russian roulette with a full cylinder. The SPH-D710 is not an i9100. Lets say had it even come close to working you would have NO voice and No Data. The i9100 is a GSM phone, not CDMA and it does not use WiMax. The hardware in your phone is WAY different.
Our phone is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563658 and the nightlies are on goo.im

I think I bricked my N2

I accidentally flashed a n7100 ( HD rev ) rom, stupid I know. I am a noob and was unaware our phones were different.
The phone was stuck in boot loop after I flashed the n7100 rom but I was able to get into recovery and download mode so I flashed the stock Bell rom ( _BMC_I317MVLALJ2 ) via odin.
The phone now turns on but I have no mobile network ( uknown baseband), a lot of my apps don't work, camera says "not enough memory" when I try to take a picture. Also my PC does not detect the phone when I plug it in.
Been trying to get it to work for the last 2 days and I am out of ideas.
This post is my last resort before I bring it back to the store and pray for a exchange.
When you flash stock firmware make sure you factory reset

I did this, been trying every option i can think of the last 2 days, still no go
I cant download anything because the phone thinks its full even though I have 11gigs of storage
I believe there are couple ways of solving it. Look up Odin and use Odin to flash the stock rom.
The other method is to get yourself a MicroSD card. Download the correct rom to your mirco SD card; insert the card in your N2 and flash the rom in CWM. Good luck!
And you don't have any backups you can restore?

I did they same thing today, I rerooted my phone and it started back working, hope that helps
so after some searching it looks my the phones partition is messed up. Only way to fix it is to flash the stock efs.
GS III users have had this exact problem.
I ended up wiping my flash count with triangle away and returned it to the store for a exchange.
Lesson learned, always back up your stuff before flashing and make sure its the right model !!

[Q] [Solved] Please! CWM Recovery doesn't flash anything properly.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 2x GT-S7560M with CWM 5.0.0.4 (I believe) installed on it. My phone was crammed with apps and some system applications weren't working (messaging and dialer to be exact), probably because I removed some system apps without referring to the list of safe apps to remove.
I decided it would be best to just start over. I formatted the phone through cwm and tried to flash the original stock rom.
It displayed error in /sdcard/"name of rom".zip (status 0). Installation aborted.
Some extra information about the problem:
- It can't mount /emmc (I don't know what that is)
- It seems to be unable to mount the internal sd card because I tried flashing a zip from there, but it showed some sort of error.
I forgot to mention that I also checked for bad downloads, and have already tried formatting the sd card itself.

Bump.
Please......bump.
I think emmc is the internal sdcard, so it makes sense that u can't flash zips from there, but it doesnt seem right.
Are u able to go back to stock using Odin? and if so, will youur sdcards (both internal and external) work on that?
I'm sorry, but as my name suggests, I am a total noob. Is Odin, in a way, a recovery mode that can be launched from your computer? Will I be able to flash the stock rom though Odin? I never knew what Odin is, but I've heard little about it, sorry.

Yes, odin is a flashtool for samsung devices.
You can enter into download mode on your phone by pressing volume down+home+power (while vol up+home+power should be recovery)
Once in there, u connect it to the pc via usb, and then u can flash it via odin.
Get odin from this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
And samsung usb driver from this thread --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
Once the usb drivers are installed, odin (when opened and phone is plugged in in download mode) will recognize your phone, indicated by a colored bar beneath the top left square (cyan if using 3.09 or 3.07)
then download your stock firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (search for "GT-S7560M") any unbraded will do.
once downloaded, open the AP or PDA button in odin (depends on what version you are using) and load the tar.md5 of the firmware u just downloaded into it.
to the left leave all unchecked except for auto-reboot and f. reset. time and then hit flash.
It will install stock firmware on your phone then
To be entirely sure u get it all right, use this guide too --> http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...08-guide-how-flash-tar-files-odin-3-07-a.html.
Goodluck!
Thank you! I have one more question, after flashing the stock rom, will I be able to flash normally using recovery?

n7105 rogers, flash stock odin

I made a slight mistake when installing a new rom onto my 7105 rogers device.

i downloaded a 4.3 rom from samsung-update but received 'fail' after nand write.
any help would be much appreciated. thanks :good::good:
