Can this be a brick? (After downgrade from stock ics to stock gb)

I have just downgraded ics (germn) to gingerbread (german vfd2), everything went fine. Then it bootlooped. I waited a 2 min. Guess need to wipe data. Battery out. Battery in. Nothing. Nothing at all when I press the power button.
I flashed using Heimdall cli on ubuntu x64. I quadruplechecked the partition to file mapping.
What are my options?

Are you able to enter download or recovery mode

Reboot in recovery (Press and hold Volume up, power & home button)
Wipe cache (wipe data too)
It should boot now normally.

If you are unable to enter in recovery or download mode, then its hard bricked and you should try fixing it with USB JIG.

[Q] CWM Bootloop

Hi guys,
a friend of mine has a huge problem with his rooted P970 (android 2.3): after installing an update, the system only boots into ClockworkMod, rebooting from there only goes into the CWM Recovery again. Holding VOL-UP when the phone is connected to the computer and even holding HOME+VOL-DOWN will boot the CWM. VOL-UP within CWM doesn't work as well. Factory Reset and installing a ROM from CWM doesn't make a difference either.
So we tried to install a firmeware via SmartFlash (V20N). But the problem is that the COM-port only appears for few seconds until the CMW is completely booted, than it vanishes again. So we really have now idea what to do next.
Thanks for your help!

You need to pull out the battery, insert it again, DONT POWER ON THE PHONE! Now hold VOL+ Button, then plug in the USB cable and you should see the software update screen, then use smartflash. OR in CWM, wipe data, cache, in advanced wipe dalvik, try to install a custom ROM like boype's CM7 kang, have fun

Please help - problems after flashing back stock

So... i was in cm 10.1 and i didn't like it anymore and i decided to flash back stock...I wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and i flashed back stock. The problem is when i try to turn on the phone i have bootloop(i mean it appears the samsung logo but nothing happens) and recovery is not working and even download mode is not working everytime. So please i need help or my mom will kill me(not really,but kind of)

Did you have any errors when flashing stock? Did you flashed the right firmware? What model of the mini 2 you have?

but the phone vibrates and lights go off? or what else?

yes the phone vibrates 3 times(like an error), sometimes it's not even booting anymore and download mode works ust if i threw out the battery and put back and after that it works(i don't know why) and i flashed the right firmware because i've flashed it in the past and i got it still in computer.I have S6500D and no errors at flashing (you mean in odin i think).

use this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2227982) flash in PDA with odin 3, when the odin finish you do wipe data and factory reset
sorry from my English

Update: I tryed almost everything in this forum for my problem: I tryed rescue pda - FAIL at fat.bin, i tryed this but for me it's not working.

- Go to download mode again, and flashed recovery again without volup+voldown+home
- Pressed recovery buttons until it power off and after that it power on in recovery!
So I flashed back again the stock rom and of course i had bootloop so i try a lot of times to enter in recovery by removing battery and putting back in and trying to enter in recovery stock but nothing, so i tryed to flash recovery 6 and i tryed to enter in it with removing battery..... like mentioned and after a lot of trying BOOM it booted in recovery and i wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash stock again and it works. Now, i think i will leave the phone just like it was from factory . I had a lot of trouble because rooting, flashing customs and other things so i will not do that anymore...
Regards

i dont understand

[Q] Stuck in first Cyanogenmod boot?

Hi guys, first time posting here, sorry if a question like this has already been asked but I've looked around and haven't managed to solve my problem yet.
So I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Mini II (GT-S6500T) and used Odin 3.07 to install ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 onto it; I then booted it into recovery mode and installed ZIP from SD card, selected CyanogenMod 10.2 ("cm-10.2-20131202-UNOFFICIAL-jenad.zip"), followed instructions etc. installed Google Apps and all that.
Now, when I selected to start up the phone again, it just gets stuck in the Cyanogenmod boot screen, the blue arrow just circles around on and on (I understand that it usually takes a long time but I don't think it's meant to take over half an hour... also, every now and then I notice it kind of makes a low vibrate sound?).
I've read that to fix it you can reboot it into recovery mode and reflash it but the problem is I can't even get into the recovery mode. If I force the phone off (e.g. by removing battery) and hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Home + Power to boot recovery mode, nothing happens. If I just hold Power it starts up and goes straight into boot sequence.
I do have a backup of my previous settings and all that saved - one saved on my external SD card and the same file saved on my computer, so if I can somehow load that back it would be great I guess.

I mentioned earlier I cannot enter recovery mode. When I hold the button combination to go into it, nothing happens.
Earlier I managed to get into download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power) and I reflashed a stock firmware, but now my phone is stuck in a boot loop, it just shows the Samsung screen and vibrates every now and then. I still cannot access recovery mode.

Managed to fix the problem but thanks for the help anyway. Followed one of the solutions here and removed everything, held power for 1 min, plugged my phone into the computer and managed to get into recovery mode. From there I did full wipe, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache, format /system (probably only necessary to do full wipe but I dunno), then restarted into download mode and used Odin to reflash stock rom, then reloaded recovery mode and reloaded my backup.
edit: My question now is, I'm not sure what I've done wrong in the process of installing Cyanogenmod to screw up this badly. Is it absolutely necessary to format /system before installing it? I did do full wipe, cache and Dalvik cache and mounted /system prior to rebooting and loading Cyanogenmod.

what i do > install rom > reboot > install google apps .. I had this problem aswell a while ago. what also can be the problem is when u don't format correctly..

Have You as well was unable to go into recovery mode and stuck on bootloop ? One thing I can do is to use Odin, tried to flash some stock firmware with no result. Still no acces to recovery and still Samsung logo loop. I searched, read many topics but nothing helped. Is there something except Riff Jig that could be done ? Thanks for response

-Flash stock rom via Odin
-Flash cwm via Odin
-Pull out battery
-Connect phone to pc (without battery)
-Wait until screen turns on
-Hold recovery combo keys until samsung logo shows (home+volup +voldown +power)
-put battery back quickly
-You should be in recovery now :wipe data, cache, dalvik cache
-Reboot.
I was in similar situation, if not identical. This worked for me. Good luck.
Edit: I didn't see you fixed it already. Ignore the post.

wipe data/factory reset changes doesn't apply (Note N7000ZSLO2 Model:SHV-E160S)

*NEED HELP PLS*
1-My phone doesn't keep time/date/language when I reboot
2-The language goes back to French when I reboot
3-All my apps show the stop error when i make any setting change after reboot
4-Any app that I install after reboot will disappear on the next reboot, except the SU app I installed as zip from sdcard in CWM-based recovery window
5-The phone make sound when I connect to pc but doesn't to ask to chose connection mode, so pc doesn't detect it even though I have USB Debug enabled
6-I did the wipe data/factory reset several times but there's no change when i switch ON the phone even though the wipe data/factory reset was successful.
7-The only button combination that works is the one to go to Download Mode (Volume Down + Home + Power )
8-I can only go to Recovery Mode when I try to factory reset in the phone settings. The phone will restart and take me to Recovery Mode
-Odin is unable to detect the phone.
I just think is the internal storage that is corrupted or something but i can't tell for sure. So please i need ur help on how to fix this problem or if there is any app that i can install as zip from sdcard in CWM that can scan or format or fix this problem

You flashed the firmware on the wrong CPU, our N7000 runs Exynos but yours runs Qualcomm. Go find the correct firmware for your phone.
