[Q] Please help. simi-bricked galaxy s 2

Here is the background. I upgraded my s2 to a note2 and added an extra line for my son to keep the s2. they did not register the sim at the store. I had rooted and installed custom rom, so wanted to return to stock. I then odin'd a tar from here sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-sgh-t989/ which worked for a week(allowed me to log his apps acct etc). Today, the day of his birthday I called tmobile and activated the sim. I called my phone from the sg2 sucsessfully. I then turned it off and packaged it/ wrapped it. an hr later my son opened it and turned it on. it then boot looped on the tmobile splash with the blue loading bar. I reflashed with the latest. failed after a few files, mid flash. It now gives me a screen i have never seen before. It says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try agian." I have tried other firmwares from the site and 2 from the sticky threads here. it either fails after a few files or instantly giving the same error screen. I have odin recognising it. I cant get kies to connect but it does try. I have been using costom roms from the start and am well versed in the processes and this phone in perticular. Someone please save my boys birthday, and tell me I dont need to jtag it. I have been through the posts and cant find anything that works. The toolkit is having issues on my laptop so am limited to odin. I will have him all weekend so any help in the next 2 days would be most apreciated!!!!!
PS: I can hold vol down on power up to see my usual message of up to continue or down to reboot. up goes to the prediscribed error and down does not reboot. I got the toolkit to launch(forgot about admin) and it doesnt recognise any hardware. odin fails on all flashes. I am thinking it has to do with the recovery. i am going to try to flash a custom now.

This made me laugh a little as it sounds like what i tell my coworkers before my first cup of coffee. Followed by did you restart it? I am re downloading for the 3rd time to be sure. as i am waiting i tried to reflash the stock recovery that i had laying around. that brought me back the boot ani with the tmobile logo and blue loading bar. I reflashed an original os i had in my files from a long time ago and got the first error screen. i am now attempting to reflash the working recovery and then the latest dl of T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar.md5. will update as soon as done. thank you very much for the response on a saterday and all. you rock for effort!!

uggg
So I have used old recovery and several stock roms to no avail. I have tried 5 different ones now. it all hangs for wayyy too long. I just did a fresh dl'd copy of latest from predefined site. Back to original message. I am now going to try canogen mod with custom rom. please add if you have any thoughts.
edit: Ps : I have been flashing phones for a while now so when i say way too long i mean atleast 45 to an hour, which is longer then any sucsesful flash I have done.
2nd edit: I sucsefully installed twrp. in mid dl of jedi mind trick rom to install.

Sucsess!!

Thank you for the link as I was having trouble finding on xda. the links have been shaky since the mega debaucle. Can you please link to your preferred stock as I dont have faith in the sanpro.pl links
Super Thanks!!!
At the least He now has a usable device. Even beter is the impact of seeing the effort to fix it. He now knows to use xda and the steps taken which is more valueable then the phone itself.
Thank you.

I use

Just type t989 in the search box.
Never had a problem with the files from there. You have to sign up for an account though.

Had the exact same thing happen to me, phone wouldn't boot or anything, no button combo worked and couldn't boot to recovery, what I did was to Odin twrp recovery tar. flash recovery and it fixed it, of course it roots the phone to but u can always odin back to stock after it boots up

[Q] Sph-L710 Hard brick.

Hiiyaa..
Mkk, ive tried all solutions, nothing works..
I was randomly using my S3 on stock software, it shut off and now it will not turn on.. Absolute hard bricked, not even a jig will kick this on..
So i made a recovery sd card, finally it kicked it into dl mode..
PROBLEM:
It tries to write 15988 sectors, then pops up FLASH WRITE FAILURE
ODIN MODE.
SYSTEM STATUS: NONE.
Okay, Ive tried flashing stock rom through odin, it will get close and then pops up the error No PIT partition found..
I tried to flash a pit file, it fails.
Im using a rear usb port, different cables. Nothing works..
I tried to do a nand wipe through odin, it gets to userdata partition and then fails when it tries to repartition..
Im at a loss here, any help will be amazing...
EDIT:
Heres the error that odin is giving me

Some questions you can answer to give more of a frame:
1. What software build are/were you on?
2. If the software had KNOX, had you done anything to attempt to remove/disable it?
3. The firmware was stock, were you also on stock recovery?

[Q] why did I flash a verizon rom.....

So basically my friend soft bricked her AT&T SGH-I747..didn't power on, but could still get into download mode. So I was able to flash a ROM through Odin on it. Sadly, being the idiot I am, I was unaware that her provider was AT&T. So I just found the first stock ROM I found and flashed it. Came to realize it was a Verizon ROM. So i figured I could just find an AT&T stock ROM, and repeat the same process as before to fix it. This has not been the case at all...
My issue is that when I run Odin I keep getting stuck at one part....

<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I'm running Odin v3.07. The only boxes checked are Auto Reboot, F Reset Time, and PDA.
I've also tried flashing a PIT file by itself, and with the PDA, and still receive the same results.
Flashing to Verizon did allow me to boot up the phone completely, but I'm unable to do anything on the phone without a proper SIM card to activate it, which I for some reason need...unless I'm just an idiot.
I have no clue at all what firmware was previously running on the phone.
I actually don't know any info about the phone at all software wise, since I can't seem to access any information on the phone.
Someone please help me solve this issue.

You said you were able to boot to system with the VZW firmware? Can you check what you have under your settings especially the Android version and baseband version? You would probably need to reflash AT&T firmware but we would need to know what bootloader version to have to be sure you are able to flash a workable version. I would also suggest you install custom recovery (suggest TWRP) via Odin if you don't have this already. This would enable you remove existing firmware prior to a fresh installation.

Bricked?

I have a problem with my Tab3. When i am in download mode all i get is this. See picture.
I had a problem that the tab always reboots into recovery. So i want to flash a stock firmware. Any ideas?

i have come to a similar dead end.
came from fastdreamV6 rom and odin'd in T210RUEU0COB1_T210RXAC0COB1_HOME .tar .md5
pardon my terminology but i guess you'd say i dirty Odin'd it?> did not wipe or revert.
its where things went wroung for me
soo any ways.. looking for helpful and knowledageble people to begin trouble shooting this issue
after the install it rebooted and showed the tab3 splash screen then android package installer full screen before an OS. when the page installer screen disappeared that was the end of any responsiveness from the device.
mine always boots to black screen. no recovery , no audible/visual anything until odin mode.
always a black screen until i walk through the odin/download mode key' sequence blind
i have only half of what should look like a odin/download mode screen, the android guy has disappeared.
WIN7 does find the tab3 thats in [email protected]$$ odin mode in the device manager
odin also sees the tab3 but odin doesnt want to work to upload anything < hangs at setupconnection.. or pit mapping failed even when i have the new pit file being pushed,

hemidall gives me communication conflicts
adb .. i currently have no os on the tablet as far as i can tell. maybe somebody can tell me if i can fastboot a command to push a recovery into it. but without adb-communication. i dont see it happening?
i presume i have a corrupted .pit file thats its not allowing me to replace.
OR KITKAT needs its own .pit file and i will need help aquiring one.
or its just a really bad flash alltogether. being boot.img. system img. recover img
how should i proceed if there is a way ? looking to get back to stock 4.4.2.
i can solder and make a usb jig if nessasary.

Note 2 seems bricked after trying to go back to stock firmware. Help needed!

Hi all,
I was using my Galaxy Note 2 with the latest Resurrection Remix ROM, but wanted to revert back to the stock firmware .
I downloaded the latest stock firmware and tried to flash it directly with ODIN.
Unfortunately, the process stopped at about 3/4 of the progress bar. I tried several time, changing USB ports and slots; even computer. After one try, the messages changed and the process stopped event before trying to write with the message : "There is no PIT partition".
The download mode shows the usual warning and download screen. But if I try to go in recovery mode or just boot normally, I get the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue...".
What I've tried so far:
. Flashing several stock firmwares via several version of ODIN.
. Kies upgrades (tried about everything there).
I also tried a PIT file, but got the message: "Re-Partition operation failed".
I really don't know what to try anymore
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
(edit -> oh, and I've also tried with firewall and antivirus out)

What you're trying to flash firmware 4.4.2 i hope, because if you're trying to flash a 4.3 is impossible the downgrade to do so because of Knox!

I was trying 4.4.2.... Does it matter if I was on a 5.x ROM?

Did you try a different USB cable or different Odin version?

Yes, I tried several USB cables and USB ports and PCs and about 10 different Oding version
I'm starting to think it's hopeless

I flashed CWP recovery from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000138
And it worked (at least Odin finished saying it was flashed ok). But if I try to go into recovery, I now get a 'Downloading' screen. When going to download mode, I have the normal screen, with a number of custom binary download increased by 1.
Anyone could advise on next steps I should try?
Thanks!

I managed to get back TWRP v2.8.7.0.
What would be the next steps to try and revert to the stock firmware?? Thanks!!

I used TWRP to reset and wipe everything, then ODIN to flash stock firmware.... And everything is now fine I've got the phone working perfectly with stock firmware!
Thanks!
