[Q] SPH-D710 is soft brinked. Help needed please.

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 SPH-D710. The phone was running the stock ICS firmware. Yesterday the phone randomly crashed. After crashing I tried rebooting the phone multiple times but it would always hang at the Samsung logo.
I then tried doing a factory reset (Volume-up + power buttons). This at first seemed to work but after restoring and booting all the way up the phone hung again.
Now the phone always hangs at the Samsung logo and I can only enter the odin mode (volumn-down + power buttons).
I have tried restoring the phone using multiple different one-click odin re-flashers. But, although they always completed without errors, when the phone reboots, it still just hangs at he Samsung logo.
Ideas please. Thanks!

Hmm you may have the wrong odin stock files man or maybe hardware failure somewhere?

How can I tell if I have a hardware failure?
I downloaded my odin files from here: rwilco12 . com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Devices/Samsung%20Galaxy%20S2%20%28Sprint%29%20%28SPH-D710%29/Stock%20ROMs

This is a strange thing to happen on stock. I don't believe that its hardware related, if your device bricked for hardware reasons it wouldn't allow you into recovery and try to boot. This sounds more like a corrupted system file. Make sure that your drivers are installed correctly and retry your choice of one clicks. If that doesn't work, I would try using the latest GB27 release, found here. This will wipe out everything on your device, pictures, music, etc..., this kinda sucks, especially if you can't boot to back it up.
Edit - Sorry my two year old hit the mouse before I finished typing.
To continue my post: The above linked one click will reformat your device and install the necessary partitions, essentially giving you a brand new internal drive to work with.

So loaded the GB27 release as you suggested. No joy. The phone still just hangs at the Samsung logo.The odin output is as follows:

Can I assume that since this succeeded that there are no driver issues?
Any other things to try?

I'm honestly at a loss, never heard of this happening. Not to beat a dead horse, but your sure you have the D710?
Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41320560&postcount=17
Can't guarantee that it'll work but, doesn't hurt to try.

Not sure if this applies to the d710 but I had an evo shift that did that until I removed its sd card. So if you have an sd card in it, take it out and try.

I never had that happen to my Shift lol... But could be worth a shot

I don't have a SD installed so that can't be it. I'll try out Dypraxxx suggestion this evening and report back.
Thanks for you responses!

Ok, I finally got around to trying Dypraxxx suggestion. No joy.
What is going on?!?

Have you tried different cables and ports on your PC? Those are usually the things that cause problems with Odin.

I'll try that
windows looking for two drivers
samsung mobile cdc composite device
samsung mobile usb modem
both ready to use.
EDIT: I'll be damned. I was able to flash recovery file after using a different port. I have did this method before. strange.

[Q] Can't boot, can't write in Odin

TLDR: Odin says it flashes recovery successfully, it doesn't seem to be working.
Note 4 was damaged and brought out the S3 for a temp backup phone. I activated it, made some test calls everything worked great. Came back a couple hours later to the phone in download mode with a red error stating it could not normal boot. I attempted to go into recovery, pulled up TWRP 2.6.0.0 with a password prompt but I've never set one. I googled the TWRP issue and there was a problem with Sprint GS3 and TWRP, I loaded up Odin 3.0.9 and attempted to flash a newer version of TWRP as my searching had recommended, Odin flashed, said PASS! and I rebooted but it was still on 2.6.0.0 requesting a password. I pulled up ODIN again, tried CWM/Philz/Stock - same issue still TWRP 2.6.0.0 even though ODIN stated it successfully flashed. Tried a different computer, a different USB cable, same issue. ODIN states that it is successfully flashing but it doesn't seem to take. Then I tried flash stock ROM, got an error in ODIN this time, stating it couldn't write, googled that was told to get a pit file, that can't be written either.
I can't seem to find many people in my situation, was hoping I could get some input before I started buying hardware to try to fix it (JTAG and micro SD/linux solutions).

Odin the full stock ROM then Odin recovery again.

You'll have to repartition PIT. I don't have any other information, I know someone with the 32GB model successfully repartitioned his PIT.

May be the Baffin.pit file is corrupted , Re-download it and try again

pass me your baffin.pit file
redid the process 2 times with the downloaded file 2 times and still the error could have your baffin.pit file

Did you try to flash the Stock without The pit file then flash the bit file alone and after that flash the stock alone
1. flash the stock
2. Flash the pit
3. Flash the stock again
I know it seems silly but try it

theory or skype whatsapp, could leave here

I keep getting the same error

That's what happens when I try to go up the system after flashing the rom 2 TIMES

Help!! Have I killed my phone? Can it be fixed?

A few weeks ago, my phone was stuck on Samsung Logo. Having read through several threads on the subject, I attempted flashing though Odin but despite following all instructions, my phone is now stuck on a screen that says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recory mode in Kies & try again." (pic attached).

}
When I press volume up & power & home, I do get to "Downloading ... Do not turn off target" but can't seem to progress beyond this.
I must say, I have only ever attempted one flash before a few years ago and I am not the brightest spark when it comes to understanding what I'm doing even though I am good at following instructions but any help with this would be greatly appreciated and welcomed.
Thanks

Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Have you tried different USB cables, USB ports, ROMs, and operating systems?
