Help required think i've bricked my phone :(

[burt_ie]

Hi...

I was playing around with my phone earlier and not playing close attention to what I was doing (nagging wife in background) I decided to flash a new ROM and I didn't notice I flashed a 19100G on my 19100. As I wasn't looking what I was doing something flashed up on the screen and poof! Well now my phone wont start and it stuck on the Galaxy S2 start screen.

I was previously using CM10 and had CWM recovery installed.

Is this a brick or soft brick and how can i fix it?

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you :crying:

can you get back into recovery or download mode

try reboot into download mode.
i once installed something, and after reboot, it wasnt going further than the samsung logo and screen flashes. so wasnt getting into CWM.

only way out was going to download mode, and flash an odin-capable rom. (bizarrely, the rom worked very well with my phone, longer batt life, performance, etc. ..

Download mode:
Power your phone completely off and make sure it isn't plugged in via USB.
While holding the Volume Down rocker and the Home key press and hold the Power Button.

Okay so I downloaded Odin and a recovery file but when I start Odin I get a yellow box but no numbers?

I chose a the recovery file (PIT) and pressed start but got a failed message in red.

In ODIN you should choose file in PDA. not PIT.

And you should find the file your looking for here

if there is only .tar choose pda

other way

phone - pda
csc - csc
modem - phone

edit : btw i think your phone is not bricked.

First of all you are in the wrong thread..And your phone is not bricked..Just follow the instructions given above to use odin to flash a stock Rom. You will be fine

I downloaded I9100XWLPT for UK Europe and used Odin v3.04 and all went okay. Phone is back up and running again now

Thank you so much for your help! I really thought I was frazzled there for a minute lol! That will teach me to flash and not pay attention...next time I will have to make sure the wife isn't around

I guess I am now back on stock and will have to re-root my little baby?

Again thank you for all your help...I went into panic mode for a little bit and my mind got clouded so I could not see a solution. I knew it had to be something so easy.

Very much appreciated :good:

And sorry it's in the wrong section, where should I have posted it? If there is a friendly neighborhood admin around could he please move it to the correct place?

Thank you
