Keep reading the thread. There is chinese firmware that will get your phone back to working condition so it can be flashed again with kies. Your bootloader has been overwritten and the only way to fix that, as far as I know, is to bring it to Samsung for after service.

hi there im new here and i know a little about flashing but i had managed to upgrade via samsung kies my anycall galaxy s M-110S. i thought its easy to upgrade via kies than odin. but now im having problem with 1. i opened kies and connect my friends galaxy s M-110S (korean) and kies said update available. i clicked to upgrade but its stuck. kies asked me to unplug the usb and remove battery and then connect again. i did so. but my kies keep searching the device though in device manager shows samsung modem connected. the phone shows "upgrade" in english and some words in korean is likely may be -upgrade did not finished. do it again (i know korean a little). so i need help from the masters. i badly need it to be ok. plz help me out

Man what were you trying to achieve by flashing the bootloader of S2 ?
Not sure if jig will help you. Try that.
If it does not help then you got a brick. Send it to samsung service center and get a motherboard replacement done at your cost m afraid!

Did you use JIG to reset your binary counter? How did you do it?
Edit: I have solved the issue. I was able to remove the triangle and the binary counter as mentioned in this thread in post #13 of this thread. Please read the all the 13 posts for proper context.
Galaxy Note Boot Repair Without JTAG / RIFF box ??
I have to ask the originaltor of this thread - how did you fix your 'bricked' Samsung phone?
As I have made the same mistake...
I used odin on the pc and flashed (by mistake) the wrong bootloader into the phone (as part of flashing fresh rom procedure)!
So now....
Basically when I press power on the phone, nothing happens.
When I put the 'jig' into it - nothing happens - no download mode
when I press the recovery key / download key modes - nothing happens
When I plug the charger in - there is no battery charge icon
When I plug the usb cable into the laptop - nothing happens
Basically the phone is bricked and having read a similar thread on how to revive a Samsung without the phone having to be turned on, or the battery in, well I thought to ask.
Many thanks for any replies.
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f200/gt-i9100g-usb-boot-repair-here-1488048/
Basically JTAG / RIFF box will repair the boot loader....but are there other ways??
..
Can you help me?

I am in the same situation as you, could you tell me if you had to buy the jig thing to make your phone work? Which specific steps from the post did you have to follow? Thanks! Daniel.

[Q] stuck on galaxy screen and keeps rebooting

HELP I have a tmobile model number sght849 and i was following this video for root youtube video entitled: samsung galaxy tab root P1000 by vio channels :crying:
Each step was a success but after reboot it had this fuzzy thing on the left of the screen then it got stuck on the galaxy screen it repeated the process over and over..
I am unable to get into recovery mode.
Please help I am unsure what to do because there are so many ways to do things in regards to service..
It is under tmobile with 3g please contact me i would greatly appreciate it at [email protected]
Read this thread and follow it.
Hopefully it works for you.

Im not sure if the root was successful or not... the forum you provided are for rooted devices only..should i try to root with oneclick and then try the gbstock safe?
I believe the rooting is so that you can unlock your boot loader (doesn't matter to you, you are screwed either way at this stage) and to titanium backup.
You don't need those.
Just flash with Odin.

[Q] Is it possible to root the new Galaxy S3 mini GT-I8200N (Value Edition)?

Hey guys
first of all thanks a lot for this great forum.
I have a question regarding my new Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Value Edition) (model number: GT-I8200N).
Is there any way to root my phone? I can't find any info for this model on the internet.
In this thread only the GT-8200 is mentioned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185700. How is this method working?
I found a guide for rooting the "normal" S3 mini by flashing the CWM and SuperSU.
Is it possible to root my phone this way without bricking it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
wondering

yes i want to know too
Is this phone built on same board as the US s3mini sm-g730a? If so at least you can root it. Dont try anything for i8190.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11
The specs of the two models look similiar but how can I check which board is in my phone?
Thanks alot for the advice not to try anything for the gt-i9190!
root i8200N 100%
I confirm that VRoot works 100% on i8200N sorry for my english.

hi!can u share which version did? as iam trying with the latest version and it cant!

Try this, it roots almost any device.
Hi, i have an i8200L and I did root it with the vRoot. But does anyone know if the others mods for i8190 work for this one? Like ROMs and all that?
I've read that you can't flash roms etc. because there are differences in the software (bootloader?).
The chance that you brick your phone is pretty high.

Brick?
Hi,
first I tried to flash a custom rom and afterwards I read this thread.
There is no excuse for that, i know. But I know now, that i flashed a wrong rom.
Can I throw the Mobile away or is there a chance for it?
My GT-I8200N now shows me just a window with the words "firmware upgrade encountered
an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I don´t know what to do know, maybe someone can help me.
Thanks

Warranty
Hi,

I tried to go into recovery mode to see if i can find something, but there it says "Warning custom os can cause..." so i klicked volume down
and canceled it.
Thanks

That is download mode. You have to chose vol+ to see your status.
To get out of download mode, just hold power for about 10 sec and it will reboot to system.
Recovery mode: vol+ / home / power
Download mode: vol- / home / power (confirm with vol+)
Thanks for answer. In recovery i can not see anything. In download Mode it says "system status: official". But at the top it says "odin mode" Does that mean that warranty is still ok or not?
Is still ok!
Samsung S3 mini i2800L unlocked - hard bricked
Hi All,
While updating my firmware via odin, the update failed and my phone was stuck in download mode , I did a battery pull and now the phone will not come on at all. The computer makes hardware connection sound when I plug it in or unplug it, but other than that I cant get it to respond.
I would like to get a debrick file or a bootlader.img for this model so I can try to boot it from my SD card. Can anyone help me ????
