I have a GT-i9100 that i brought off trade me almost 2 years ago. It is on the telecom network but was not a telecom purchase.
Last week it turned off unexpectedly and was stuck on the boot screen when I turned it back on. Frantic googling told me this is not uncommon with these phones and there were various how tos on how to fix.
Firstly I could not get into recovery mode only download mode :(
I have downloaded Odin and MULTIPLE things from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 but I cannot seem to make it work again :(
It always gets stuck on something.
I have used a proper Samsung cable, uninstalled Kies, disabled my antivirus and still nothing.
I have removed & reinstalled all the drivers.
Now when i attempt to turn it on I get "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" but when I tried to connect it to Kies it wouldn't recognise it
Does anyone have any clues or can talk me through fixing it step by step, I am not a technical person by any stretch but can follow instructions :)
