[Q] flash blocked !!

Hello,
I just bought my GN, and I tried to flash to version 4.0.3 of android through Odin 3 v 1.87. Unfortunately, the flash has blocked the file Hidden.img. I then tried installing different versions oldest and most stable wipe or no wipe or anything but it is still blocking hidden.img to making my phone useless.
More recently, I can not even to flash, the phone switches itself off and ...
Basically, I need help before throwing it!

you got stucked at hidden.img because you was flashing sammobile leak with 32g.pit file, you need to flash with 16gb.pit file from chineese leak, try to go in download mode and flash with 16gb.pit

Now I have the problem of GN which turns off and turns on every 3 seconds!
Therefore impossible to flaher.
Yet I remove the battery for 1 h.

go back to official firmware. Not worth to flash first ics leak.

but I tried, but as the GN goes out all alone, I can not give the official firmware.

No recovery but i still can access download mode

ok So any help will be greatly appreciated.
THis is what the issue is:- I am able to access download mode and via ODIN i can patch any firmware on to my phone but after ODIN is successful the phone Start with the SAMSUNG boot loader Splash screen before the kernel loads up and stays there. it doesn't go head . hence i do not have recovery mode. i have tried patching with stock firmware with PIT 512 . This didnt make any difference. I have tried DarkyROM 10.2 Resurrection and that hasnt helped either. I cannot for the life of me get the freaking phone to start up with a boot loop . Once i have a boot loop i can move forward and patch the kernel and get recovery mode . so is there any one out there who can help me with this issue. I have a USB jtag cable so getting into DOwnload mode is not an issue even if i lose 3 button combo .But i cannot get the phone to boot up with any firmware .
thank u in advance . I have a Samsung Galaxy s I9000

did both didnt help . the deal is i am able to run all of this but the freaking phone after patching does not go beyond the bootloader splash screen . I would also like to mention that prior to this i was running miui 4 ICS . my phone screen cracked and hence i gave it to fix the screen . when i got it back the phone guy fix the screen and ran a default samsung gb firmware on it after this the phone does not go beyond the Samsung Splash screen after which the kernel splash screen start and u get access to recovery mode.

Did you try flashing different ROMS, kernels or custom recovery? Since you can get into Download mode you could flash custom recovery and do factory reset from there.

well if u come from ICS ...then u need to re partition ,when going back to stock!! very important
search threads for : Going back to GB from ICS i9000, this should help u gl

The easiest thing I have always done then that happens is to flash a kernel for that version that comes alone (like semaphore kernel) with Odin/Heimdall. It will come with its own recovery, so you have a starting point

Flash stock firmware and then do a factory reset from stock recovery since odin doesnt format back to rfs for you on /cache and /data i believe. Fixed it for me.

Your problem seems to be partition related. What I do is use ODIN to flash Mily's Rom 1.2 - this one repartitions your phone (must have it checked in ODIN). Phone takes about 15 minutes to go through repartition and startup process.
After that flash any newer GB from recovery menu ...

can you enter recovery (vol up+menu+power) or download mode (vol down+menu+power)?
if you can get into recovery, do wipe dalvik->reboot and tell us what happens
if download - flash your country's whole rom with odin and start again

Still problem with booting
I have tried to flash many different firmwares. ODIN says green but the phone does not boot. Just the first logo or Samsung with some animation.. than it gets stuck there. ADB does not work then either.
I have tried to root and wipe data with different ODIN, but nothing helped. TWRP is not present on "download mode" either..
On ODIN3 v3.07 I see there there is a tickbox for "NAND ERASE ALL" but when I have it checked it fails or hands on erase state.
Could you please help me what I can do next?
I would like to have complete firmware and root and install TWRP etc. but I need to get booting up ok. I have already 15 on "custome binory download"

after flashing.. remove / replace your battery..
try booting in recovery by pressing vol up+home+power at the same time..
then scroll down to factory reset via vol keys..
wipe and restore factory settings..

[Q] Need PIT file for S6500 (not 'd')

detail for "it not work for me":
my phone is loop in booting when i use ODIN with: "JENA_Secure_NonNFC_1109" PIT file + my stock rom

Install cwm on phone, and wipe data and system and cache.
Then flash s6500 stock rom with odin in pda column. Stock rom, it have partition file inside..i guess, it will be flashed.

thank for support me. BUT:
after repartition with that "unsecure_non_nfc" PIT by ODIN, I face with these problem:
1- I can not enter normal boot (loop)
2- I can not enter recovery mod (i use volumdown + vollumup + home + power but there is nothing happen). I flash CWM by ODIN but there is no change
3- I only can use DOWNLOAD mod
I dont clearly understanding about "partition, PIT, ... in android" , but I think the problem is "partition crash"
please continue help me

Ok you really need to force recovery to wipe data &system ..but please DO NOT EVER TRY AFTER REPAIR .PIT FILES!
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALREADY FLASHED CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY!
1) remove battery and put in again in phone
2) go to download mode, but do not skip first screen
3) Logical: Pressing down button will reboot phone...but down + up + reboot = recovery
so...press vol down and vol up..and just hold it until you will see cwm logo ( please flash cwm 6.0.3.3 !)
Repeat: first press vol down and then wol up ! at but faaasstt!
4) CWM is now booting...wipe system and data
5) reflash stock rom...without any pit file!!!!!!!! (don't every try againg to use .pit! )
If your problem is not solved repeat all steps many times!!! TO RECOVER MY PHONE I NEED 1-2 HOURS!

OK
1) WHY DO YOU FLASH PIT FILES??
Pit files are used when on your screeen appear partition fail ! Else is not useful!
2) Secure check fail is:
-Phone doesn't need pit at this moment
-you renamed the file
-file was damaged
-file is incompatible with firmware
-odin is outdated
-antivirus conflict while reading file
If you fail in fat.bin
-your rom is not compatible
-phone /system damage (need wipe and reflash)
-rom is wrong builded

strange bootloader/ boot-loop problem on g800f

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini G800F (stock rom, no custom recovery, no root). From one day to another it stopped working and hangs in a boot
loop now. After displaying the samsung logo it shows green rows for a few seconds and restarts. It is possible to go into download
mode with home + volume down + power on, but not in recovery mode with home + volume up + power.
What I have tried:
reflashed stock ROM from sammobile.com with odin 3.10.6 without errors, problem still exists
reflashed stock ROM with odin flags "re-partition", "Nand Erase All" and corresponding PIT file without errors, problem still exists
flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 but couldn't enter recovery mode
rooted the device with odin, same behaviour
adb could not find device
What I can exclude:
display is ok (no flickering or pixel rows in download mode)
battery is ok (works with other smartphones)
power button works properly (phone does not start while inserting battery)
I think the problem lies in the bootloader. Is it possible to re-flash the bootloader and if yes, how is it done?
Is there anything I can do or is the phone hard-bricked now?
Thanks for your help! :good:

Hello i have the same problem of you my sm-g800f bootloop
