It sounds like you've bricked your phone, have you tried a USB jig to try and reset it yet? Try ebay, look for i9100 usb jig

Install KIES, then use the Unlock Root

Hi teck2100,
If you can get into odin mode (aka download mode) then you're fine. You should be able to flash a stock rom using odin.
Look here for a list of roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928 and pick one that you can root using D00ml0rd's method (zergrush), it's the simplest way I've found for root and Mobile Odin is the best app for custom rom's in my opinion.
Good luck and if it helped please use thanks,
Stefan.

You need to go to download mode to be detected by odin and what you got is a bootloop! Just enter download mode ( volume up home button plus power button) and flash your firmware again!

[Q] Firmware upgrade encountered as issue

I recently brought a tmobile unlocked, Samsung galaxy s3, T999.
I tried to upgrade the firmware with samsung kies, but it stuck at 0.
Then I tried, Emergency Firmware Recovery, it also got stuck.
I rooted it and applied a custom rom, CyanogenWIZ(Found here top review rom)
Then i wasnt able to turn on wifi, SIM not detected, etc.
Then I wiped all data, reset the phone.
Now it does not go to the home screen, stuck at loading(with that google 4 colord dots).
I can ONLY access, Recovery Mode and Download mode properly.
THEN
Finally was able to re install the stock rom,
T999UVALEM_T999TMBALEM_T999UVALEM_HOME.tar
galaxys3root (COM) / T-Mobile Galaxy S3 Stock Firmware MD5
Now, It loads all those "Android 4G tMobile logo, Samsung galaxy SIII, that green animation"
But it does not go further than SAMSUNG logo with blue animation thing.
I installed the,

Now, IT says,

[Q] Galaxy grand not turning on

Yesterday, I tried updating my firmware version and it said that updating would improve startup stability. When updating reached 90%, it turned off and now when I try turning it on, it shows "Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos i9082" for a second and then turns off, it keeps doing this repeatedly. I've tried pulling my battery out, using odin to flash firmware again, but it fails everytime. It can go into odin mode but not into recovery mode. In odin mode it says something like "firm version eMMC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
PLEASE HELLP.
[Not rooted]
Hey
Connect your phone to your PC and open Kies
Go to Tools> emergency firmware recovery
Or
Follow phone recovery guide in kies
This will help you restore your phone to latest factory version
I have done this several times
Tell me if this helped[emoji3]

I think I bricked my tablet. Any help is appreciated!

I have a Samsung Tab 3 (SM-T210R). I am currently stuck on "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. I have connected to Odin 3.07 and re-installed my stock ROM. It is successful multiple times now. The issue is that whenever the device restarts, it reboots to the same screen "firmware update encountered an issue". I got to this state by trying to flash a backup in TWRP. It failed, and now I can't use the device whatsoever. The device also will not turn off. It will try, but promptly reboots to the same screen. I have also tried re-partitioning with the proper PIT file along side the firmware ROM. This was also a "PASS". Any ideas?

Have you tried forcing a reboot to recovery using the button combination? HOME, POWER and VOL UP buttons.

Yes, I have. It just turns off and then reloads the "firmware update encountered an issue" screen.
Take your battery out and put it back in.
I think you can flash with Odin in state "firmware update encountered an issue".
