    Exclamation Bricked - no boot

    Hi guys, really need your help!!!

    Been using Custom ROMs since Omnia HD. Loved the work of cookers, never had problems, ODIN is just so easy.

    Four days ago, tried to flash I9100 from Lite'ning v5 to 6.1. So, as recommended I wiped cach with CWM, and then done proper FORMAT.

    Once I pressed it, format started but didn't finish - the phone restarted, and continued to restart - stuck with boot "S" animation - so can't boot into system.

    Then, tried as suggested to install VANILA latest firmware - tried it - didn't work. Keeps freezing in the middle of the process in ODIN - or - it says FAILED. Now, i can't use CWM - if I press Volume UP +HOME+POWER, i get "Mobile phone with yellow Triangle with PC signs" - left to the right.

    Updating to the VANILA software doesn't work, so as Lite'ning V6, or any other versions of it. Without CWM, i can't boot from SD Card to other cooked roms, so please, any ideas will be MUCH APPRECIATED !!!

    Thank you all for your help !!!!!!!

    Problem solved thanks to HotlipsH - I flashed the firmware he suggested and it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    On another note, my USB port is malfunctioning - it only works if bent at a specific angle. In order to give the phone for repair as it's still less then 3 month old, I need to get rid of manual firmware update counter (currently at 4). Can someone recommend a method to bring it back under warranty?

    I am with T-Mobile contract in the UK, London. Thank you all again very much !!!! Love this forum ;']

    Get Heimdall for Android for your OS and try that with a different Firmware while in download mode.
