THIS GUIDE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE 16GB GALAXY S2 I9100 (but a similar procedure can be applied to some other samsung devices)
BIG THANKS TO USER HG42, ALL CREDITS GO TO HIM AS HE IS THE ONE THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE. THE ORIGINAL GALAXY NOTE THREAD IS HERE
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, IT DID FOR ME AND A FEW OTHERS BUT YOUR PROBLEM COULD BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE
AFTER FLASHING THE PIT FILE, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATLY FLASH A SAMSUNG ROM OR A KERNEL VIA ODIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LQ5 KERNEL INSTALLED, IN ANY CASE, DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA AFTER THE PIT FILE FLASH, FLASH A ROM OR A KERNEL BEFORE DOING ANY WIPE
As you must know by now, some users experienced hard bricks after flashing the leaked LQ5 firmware and doing a factory reset or a data wipe, some others, like me, can still access Odin or recovery but no matter what we try we can't get the phone to actually fully boot.
SYMPTOMS:
-You can go into download mode and maybe in recovery
-When you try to wipe data in recovery the phone gets stuck and reboots eventually
-Flashing a firmware through odin doesn't do any good even when the flash was a success
-During the Flash through odin it may get stuck at data.img or fastoryfs depending on the firmware you're trying to flash
If your symptoms aren't the same as those, i would advise not trying this procedure
THE REASON FOR THE "BRICK"
It seems that during the factory reset or data wipe you made after flashing LQ5, the data partition got badly corrupted somehow, and because of that, neither CWM nor Odin can write or format this faulty data partition. This is why you can't boot into any rom.
What you need to do if you're in the same situtation i was into (make sure of it) is to flash a modified pit file which is gonna create a new data partition on your internal sdcard, leaving the faulty one aside, and thus getting a brand new data partition which is gonna make your phone work again, but at the cost of having a smaller internal SD. Other than that, your phone should work exactly as it did.
WARNING / BACKUP
By doing so, you're also repartitionning the internal sdcard, which will result in the loss of everything you have on it, to backup the content of your internal sdcard, you must follow the steps described in THIS THREAD which is the thread started by the man that found the solution to this problem. The thread is a galaxy note thread, but the backup procedure is the same.
Once you have backed up what you wanted to backup, and made sure you read everything carefully, you can proceed to the flashing of the modified pit file.
AFTER FLASHING THE PIT FILE, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATLY FLASH A SAMSUNG ROM OR A KERNEL VIA ODIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LQ5 KERNEL INSTALLED, IN ANY CASE, DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA AFTER THE PIT FILE FLASH, FLASH A ROM OR A KERNEL BEFORE DOING ANY WIPE
The zip containing the modified PIT files can be found in THIS THREAD at the end of the first post.
STEP BY STEP
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a clean, unmodified, samsung firmware (like KI4) WITHOUT PUTTING ANY PIT FILE
-Reboot in stock recovery, do a factory reset
-Reboot phone
-Format internal sdcard
-You should be good to go
ALTERNATIVE WAY (NOT RECOMMENDED)
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a custom kernel with Odin.
-Then Boot into recovery and install a rom from a zip which must be on your external SD
I hope this works for you as well as it did for me. Good luck, and congratulations to hg42 for finding a way to get our devices working again
edit: OP entirely changed his post since my response, rendering it incorrect.
Worked for me too
Tried everything was beginning to give up tried this and my phone works again thanks alot
Glad it worked for you mate.
Next time we'll think twice before flashing a leaked firmware.

Hi, the same thing happend with me. Now I can enter in recovery but I cant wipe data.
I´m thinking of try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458

Heeyyy!!!! Bro, i found an alternative for us. It worked for me so with you will work to!!!
Im from argentina and my english is not good. So, sorry for that.
Ok, do this:
1/ Download resurrection remix v2.5.3
2/ Flash siyha v3.3.2
3/ Enter to the recovery
4/ Go to "dual-boot options
5/ Select "install zip to second rom from external sd. Automatically siyah will create a second data partition.
6/ select the rom from the external sd and install it. Then restart and enter in recovery again
7/ go to "dual boot options / wipe second rom dalvik-cache.
8/ go to dual boot options / fix second rom permissions
9/ go to dual boot options / wipe second rom data cache
10/ reboot and you will see during boot the next reading: press home o volume button to enter to second rom.... so, press the home buttom and the phone will revive!!!!!!
I must say that every time the phone starts you have to choose to enter the second rom. This solution sucks, but at least your phone will work.
good luck

Have you tried flashing a samsung rom? Are you still on LQ5 kernel?
If this still fails after trying to flash a samsung rom using odin, i think you should indeed flash the original PIT, which will make things back the way they were before, even if it didn't work then
when i use Odin to install original rom , it stuck on data.img
and when I use recovery to wipe factory or cache , it stuck on formatting data
(( I used pit stock and i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-patched-standard ))

After flashing just the Pit file, did you try to wipe data or did you try to flash a Samsung ROM with odin directly?

Were you using the LQ5 kernel when you tried to wipe data after the PIT flash ? I hope you weren't.

arf man, you should have stick to the step by steps and just that. There is still little hope though, send a PM to hg42 explaining that you flashed his modified galaxy s2 pit file but that you did the same mistake again (that i did too, but only once) , which was to wipe data using LQ5 kernel. Basically i think you now have two ****ty data partitions, back to square one.
He might be able to build a new Pit specially for you to flash in which yet another data partition will be created, next to the one you just screwed.
I modified my post to make it even clearer that you shouldn't wipe data while using LQ5 kernel.
Good luck man
is this guide only for people who can access to download mode?
my phone not response to any thing
what the solution for me?
Unfortunately some people were lucky enough to only soft brick their phones when other hard bricked them.
No solution for the hard bricked ones for now.

You are my S2 saver! Thank you! Thank you!
Since Thursday, when i lost my S2 because of LQ5, i have been trying to find any possible solution through ODIN, but the same result: S2 stacked on logo screen.
Today i decided to send my S2 to Samsung, but the last minute i saw your thread.
I had nothing to loose so i decide to give it another try and I GOT MY PHONE BACK!
After formatting internal card i got back 9,54 Gb. I remember that i had 11Gb free before LQ5 but right now its not major problem.
Once more
Thank you!!!!!
I know there are various this and that posts but only one was similar to my below solution. No RIFF box required!
My phone was stuck in boot loop for last 2-3 months. Only way I have managed to get the BEST and MOST COMPLETE CWM flashed was with SEMAPHORE cwm!
Idea was simple at the end!
WE NEED TO get phone on stock firmware BUT somehow to make the internal SD operational again!
Steps!
ONLY PREREQ: BE ABLE TO ENTER "DOWNLOAD" MODE! and have the drivers installed on your pc for your phone to be recognized.
* You can have an empty external SD card in the slot. No harm but better to remove the SIM card if any.
- Use ODIN (i ve used Odin3 v1.83) to flash SEMAPHORE (Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0s.tar ). No PIT file, No partitioning! Simply put the tar to PDA field and flash!
- Reboot into SEMAPHORE CWM and go to section with /data partition! YES! Select size 2GB and SWAP the max 256MB when asked! Exit and restart!
- Enter DOWNLOAD mode again and now flash (you need to find the stock EU region free firmware I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.zip which is actually split in 3 tar and not just one!)
- ODIN 1.83 will automatically enable Re-Partition & Auto Reboot & F. Reset Time when you flash 3 files! Leave ALL enabled! Everything else just leave as is and apply below!
You need PIT file 512 for the PIT field!
Then:
i . PDA: CODE_I9000XXJVU_CL851880_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5
i i . PHONE: MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar.md5
i i i . CSC: GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar.md5
FLASH above and your phone should come start up normally to STOCK XXJVY firmware!
Once you up and running and looking forward to flash you most wanted custom ROM please always follow below procedure that I KNOW is mentioned over and over again!
1. ENABLE USB Debugging! (for CM 10.1 users its hidden in MODEL # in about section of settings (press 7 times)
2. ALLOW apps from unknown sources for installing ROM Manager etc
3. Root the phone by flushing with ODIN the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar in PDA field! - Simple but effective you will be rooted and CWM!
4. Copy your new ROM zip to the external SD.
5. Enter CWM. IMPORTANT: a. Wipe/Factory reset! b. Wipe Cache c. Enter Advanced and WIPE Dalvik Cache! (ALWAYS DO THE 3 steps prior flashing new firm)
6. Now you can select your ROM zip from file on ext sd card and flush it. * If you have custom rom like CM 10.1 and you want the Gapps now its the time to do it just after ROM flash finished! - You need to select correct GAPP based on the custom rom you will apply. ICS with ICS GAPPS, JB with JB GAPPS
THE BEST/STABLE/FAST/NET OK/CAM OK etc firmware with great boot i highly recommend is ICS_4.0.3_MR1-RC4.2_I9000.zip . Try it on your GT-i9000 after above procedure and I think you will be the happiest man! Extremely FAST and GREAT Battery handling!
PS I tried latest CM 10.1 but not as fast as above! Not needed in my opinion on the GT-i9000!
Thats all folks!
First, this should be useful for noobs but maybe in the Q&A section?
[Insert signature here]
Shouldnt this be 'clear' to all i9000 owners ?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Att MODS: Can you move it to Q&A, please?
Is this compatible with i9003?
Havent tried i9003 as i dont have the exact model in hand but you can follow the steps and basically replace the files with the correct ones for your i9003. Again I repeat you will need for each model its own files and process... If you would like me to repair yours you can pm me and see if this would be possible.
bump i9000 boot loop
ONLY PREREQ: BE ABLE TO ENTER "DOWNLOAD" MODE! and have the drivers installed on your pc for your phone to be recognized.
* You can have an empty external SD card in the slot. No harm but better to remove the SIM card if any.
- Use ODIN (i ve used Odin3 v1.83) to flash SEMAPHORE (Semaphore_ICS_1.3.0s.tar ). No PIT file, No partitioning! Simply put the tar to PDA field and flash!
- Reboot into SEMAPHORE CWM and go to section with /data partition! YES! Select size 2GB and SWAP the max 256MB when asked! Exit and restart!
====================================================================================
Please where is the /data portion?
I found only partition sdcard...
Is this the same or anywhere else? I tried, but it is still looping.
I used JW4 after partitioning sdcard.
Thank you ...
Peter
Sometimes it helps to wipe cache and dalvik cache.

thank you
thank you from the bottom of my heart.. you saved my phone..
Tried this a lot of times...
One of them I was so happy because the "failed to mount /scard (File exists)" error dissapears and no other red errors on boot. But unfortunately the phone still on bootloop.
So I tried many other times, following step by step, using same Odin and kernel, etc...
But it's not working for my old I9000 :crying:
BEST 4 i9000 I have found! Thanks should be marked!
Thank you very much,
now my SGS saved,
Even this is my first time i use odin,
Awesome

thank you from the bottom of my heart.. you saved my phone..
You sir you are the men

Hi
SEMAPHORE CWM and I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA.zip
i get all the way to having CM
but as soon as i install CM
the CWM is gone, so the reload after CM is the normal recovery, and then it boots into CM but it isn't rooted..
how do i fix this? thank you!2
I don't get this bit either:
- Reboot into SEMAPHORE CWM and go to section with /data partition! YES! Select size 2GB and SWAP the max 256MB when asked! Exit and restart!

I don't see any data partition section, not sure what you mean.
done but camera not work
done but when using camera
say insert sd card before using the camera
how fix this problem
Thank you
I have my phone brought back to life, thanks to you, Odin would not pick up pit file, sim card is not being read, I assume the missing pit file is the cause, advice on how to find it would be much appreciated.:good:
THANK YOU
HAVE MY BABIES. YOU ARE A LEGEND. Thank you soooo fricking much. I hit thank you so much that my mouse broke.
Hey Guys,
i have a problem with flashing custom recovery on my I9505(jfltexx).
When i flash "DBT-I9505XXUBMEA-20130601103235" via Odin and in addition the "CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505" my phone boots up, most of the time but not all the time. Now when i try to flash custom Recovery via Odin, my phone stucks at the Samsung Galaxy Logo and it wont continue. Even if i enter the standard recovery from Goomanager and i select "reboot system now" it stucks on the Logo!
Any Help?
Thanks in Advance

Ok now i get it as per what i see i can still get your device back to normal but myte take multiple try rest assured it will work
1st flash a stock firmware again (not rooted pure stock) this time using pit file along with firmware
and while flashing the firmware using odin and pit do check re-partition also
Note with out pit file do not check the re-partition box
and once the flashing is done device should boot if its not booting
go to stock recovery like how i told u earlier and do factory reset and wipe cache
and reboot
and tell me the status.. all the best

So let me get this clear. In Odin i should check the stock Rom in PIT instead of PDA? And check the Re-Partion box?

Based on what you said, it seem like you still have all the partitions intact. Just that they are empty right now.
Did you do a full backup before all this problem happen? Or did you do a custom backup?
Are your backups stored in external memory and is a full backup? If so, try using custom recovery to restore your backup?

Chill. Your phone is definitely not bricked. I encountered your problem before when i was experimenting with something.
- Right now, boot to whatever recovery that you have. Try to wipe cache, dalvik, and any other partition if possible.
- After that, boot to download mode and try to flash STOCK rom using odin. Check that flash was success.
- Try to boot your phone and report here on what happens.
Edit: You might want to consider restarting your computer and changing usb port. "Faulty" Usb port will affect the flashing part.

- Try to boot your phone and report here on what happens.

Download the .tar file of the custom recovery. Flashed it through odin, at the PDA section.

Behave your speech smart guy, they are trying to help!
general rule on how to fix a bootloop:
1- Wipe data and cache. If not,
2- Restore a nandroid backup if available. If not,
3- Flash stock firmware, If not,
4- Flash stock firmware with pit file (you can try pit file alone).

Have you tried format the sdcard? (Storage)
Or tried with repartition with pit file And stock firmware?
Might be a corrupt block And flash stock with pit Might help

Hi everybody! I'm new of this forum and I'm having some problem with my note 4. Im having continuos freeze, lag and reboot. Sometimes I need to take off battery for 19 seconds for make my power on burton works. Cuttently i have nameless rom v6 with latest nameless kernel but im had this problem also in other rom like kyubi sdx and the other note 5 Port spanish rom (i dont remember the name). All the time ive installed those rom ive wiped system data cache and dalvin cache and ive installed bootlader and modem. I really dont know how to fix this.
Just now after writing this post my phone suddenly shutted down :" kernel panic, download mode ". After ive taken off battery my phone turned on normally.
Thanks for reading and thanks for trying to help me,
Valerio
Do a fresh install if u havent already , install original stock rom wiping cash partitions, I usually format all partitions even internal memory, this is not a nand erase just formatting all partitions via recovery then flashing via odin . Infact the latest cwm recovery or phills recovery have an option to reset and format phone ready for new rom installs.
Thanks
