Dear	Phistachio,

Yesterday I wrongly flash I9100g's pit file on my I9100 because it showing only 4gb internal memory instead of 11.xxgb, so after googled it. So I flashed I9100G's pit file instead of normal I9100 pit file.

Now the problem is my handset is unable to enter in download mode or not starting.. Please suggest me what to do now...

Oh dear so so sorry to hear of your loss :( if it won't even power up then looks like you can use it to hold paper down on your desk. Plug it into PC see if it gets seen or trust to boot while charging try a USB jig to see if it can force d.l mode. Try every option in post 1 but my money's on paper weight. :eek::(

Hi,

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 which is the following:

PDA: I9100XWLPT

PHONE: I9100XXLQ6

CSC: I9100CPWLPA

BUILD INFO: FRI JUL 27 17:41:49 KST

GT-I9100

4.0.4

9100XXLQ6

3.0.15-I9100XWLPT-CL941023

DPI@DELL169#3

I've been using a build of Neatrom lite for around 3 months now without issue. Suddenly one day while browsing a news app the phone locked up and now i can't get into recovery mode.

However, i can get into download mode, but all the Roms and kernels I've tried flashing with odin just hang on NAND Write Start.

I've taken it to 2 mobile repair guys who haven't been able to fix it, the 2nd guy saying a replacement motherboard was required.

I also have a USB jig but this hasn't seemed to help either.

I've been reading threads for days now and trying various things so any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

bricked?

so i'm an I9100 international version user running [4.3.1][SaberMod 4.9] Slim Bean for quite awhile.

today suddenly the phone shuts down and i can get it to reboot again.

no single button or combo can wake it.

the "only" thing i can do is to enter download mode with 3 buttons combo while the cable is plugged (charger or usb) with the battery logo and the circle inside it.

tried all the steps in the OP with all odin versions, different calbles, different usb slots, and different pc's

all seem to end up succesfully with pass notification but it always goes back to the battery logo after the galaxy sII sign after each reboot

never have this experience before so any suggestion would be appreciated

thx...

Which files to use for bricked phone already on JB?

Hi,

I have an SGS2 i9100 in much the situation as described in the first post of this thread:

- Doesn't boot into recovery

- Still boots into download-mode

- ODIN fails to flash - fails already on trying to flash cache.img

I currently have no recovery and nothing can be flashed or done with the phone.

I'm hoping the method described in the first post will return a usable phone - but I'm uncertain about which recovery & kernel files to flash since the phone is already running on Android JB (official version, standard updated downloaded OTA).

The phone died a couple of weeks ago after low battery and got stuck in a bootloop, but originally still had recovery. My attempts to re-flash the firmware via ODIN got it into the current state :(

Any help appreciated - I'm hesitant to move forward at the moment with the files downloaded from the first post.

Kind regards,

--Tim

Hey guys, I have a question ( even though I have S3 mini )...

I tried to flash Maclaw CM11 with KitKat on my S3 mini, and Odin failed at NAND write... and I could only get into download mode, nothing else. Then I flashed CWM recovery and after that I was able to get into recovery mode and I restored backup of my stock ROM. Did I fix the NAND write issue by this and would I be able to flash ROM via Odin now, or to install it with CWM recovery or something ?

Possible NAND rw corruption

Hi,

First off I am a noob to this :P My samsung GT-I9100 (I don't know what version I should take) has de following symptoms:

It gets stuck on the battery charge logo when pluged in, it is possible to get in to de download mode but not the recovery mode.

Without a powersource or pluged in to a computer it does nothing.

I haven't tryed anything because if it is possible to save the data on it I would be happy with that :) If not then I'am just happy if its works.

What version should I take? And is it possible to refresh the links because hotfile is blocked.

Can you help?

You have to flash the kernel using odin in download mode...you can search how to flash kernel using odin, then try to reboot if no success then go to recovery mode and do a factory reset (format) then wipe cache partition then in advance do wipe dalvik cache...then try to reboot if no success then install full stock firmware using odin

Try an other battery, it could be your battery that is dead. This symptom may look exactly like dead nand/corrupt nand.

I got this problem, the battery doesn't work either on my s2 or samsung wave.

It looked exactly like dead nand. (only download mode, no bootanimation)

I tried putting my samsung wave battery in my s2, and everything worked fine.

i don't know what is my android version (i've buyed it as it's now)..but i have a stuck boot (on samsung logo), with download mode and without recovery.

What files is safer to flash? The ICS or GB ones? Thanks! :)

EDIT: tried to flash only ICS kernel file.. but nothing .. again "error write nand".. :(

any ideas?

EDIT2: i've tried to flash a pair of kernels (both failed) .. but now i have the yellow triangle.. but i can enter in download mode anyway (in which, and it's strange, there is a count more..before was 15, now 16 ... ) ..

today my phone doesn't turn on anymore .. so, i thought that could be a battery discharge.. and i've tried to charge it, and appears the battery's logo but stucked.. so i've tested it with a multimeter and it shows me 3.12v (instead of 3.7) .. so, i've not other s2 battery to test.. and i've used another battery (with similar pinout) that multimeter shows as 3.82v... with this battery my s2 turn on again (even stuck on samsung logo).. so i decided to buy from ebay a new battery and try again to flash with this one.. do you think that a flash problem could be caused by a bad battery? in your opinion can i try to flash with the huawei battery (that doesen't fit, and so i have to hold in position manually) ?

p.s. sorry for my bad english..

[MENTION=4695623]GreekBlood[/MENTION] you have flashed with your galaxy wave battery or you have just put it in your s2 and, without flashing, phone has finally boot?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPSUsername:
I used the battery from my samsung wave, and the phone worked 100%. So I bought a new 1800mAh s2 battery and it works. The other battery is dead.

However, the wave's battery is 1500mAh and doesn't really fit in the phone, a new battery is better.

So flash with oding a stock rom from samfirmware, then if you want, install newest siyah kernel (it won't boot your rom because it is not for ics/gb),

Go to recovery and install custom rom & custom kernel.

Boot into your rom and install triangeaway v3.26 and remove the triangle at boot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angel2k6:
but it booted without a new flash, right?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPSUsername:
Mine did boot with the wave's battery.

The wave got 3 pins and the s2 got 4. But the + and - where on the same sides, so it worked.

If a new battery won't work, if you can't get into recovery, your nand should be corrupt.
