Hi,

today i tried to update my SGS-2 Android from XWLP7 to XXLQ1.

While updating, something went terribly wrong (Kies crashed) and now my SGS-2 (GT-I9100) wont boot up anymore.

I am able to access the Download and the "Connect with Samsung Kies to start a Emergency Recovery" - Mode, but not more (Vol. Up+Home+Power wont work either). The Kies-Mode wont work (basically it happens nothing when i try to recover it with kies).

I tried the tutorial postet on the first page, but everything ends up like this:

<ID:0/006> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/006> Sbl.bin / zImage / Whatever i try to flash

<ID:0/006>

<ID:0/006> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

(i hate this big red failed)

Shown on my Display:

Odin Mode

Product Name GT-i9100

Custom Binary Download: Yes (5 counts)

Current Binary: Custom

I rooted it several times, everytime with CWM and I do have a complete Backup (done with CWM) on my Desktop ( boot.img, cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, system.ext4.tar ).

Is there still any hope for my SGS-2?

Greetz and thanks for every answer

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exygenysys:
Hi all,

First off, thanks for a great guide. I'm having issues though: with the included kernel and rest of the files, my phone either goes into a normal bootloop at the splash screen, or boots up very briefly, hangs, and starts a bootloop. On a CFRoot kernel, it boots up, sometimes working for a few minutes, before either randomly hanging while I use it, or just rebooting spontaneously. Otherwise, the boot happens at the "Installing applications" page after splash.

Thoughts? I've tried every variant of the process, including the .pit repartition. Tried different ROMs, re-flashed the whole process clean and dirty, formatted /system and /data, nothing seems to stick.

All of this has been happening since I upgraded from GB (had to sent it in for a hardware problem, Samsung sent it back with 2.3.6) to 4.0.3 with a stock XXLPQ firmware. No idea what else I can do, no amount of flashing or re-flashing seems to work.

Hi,

I had ICS stock (from carrier) 4.0.4, then tried to install CM9.1 but got stuck after trying to do a factory reset (it hung forever and that's when all the bad things started to happen...)

I tried everything from the OP (haven't tried the PIT file as I cannot see any and it seems dodgy).

I'm always stuck on the animated boot logo (either stock one when I flash a stock rom or the CM9.1 one it I try CM).

I can't flash successfully the recovery rom in this post as Odin says fails while flashing Image.

I have noticed something, when I go in CWM, I cannot mount /data, I receive an error.

Also, I cannot do a factory reset (must be linked to the error when mounting /data

I have ruined my phone.... how can I get out of this nightmare ?

I would appreciate any help as I already spent 2 whole days trying to fix it with no progress and I'm really desperate :/

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontomes:
Only two days?I was two weeks at this!

ApriliaM solved it for me with the following -

"Perhaps try flashing a ROM nuke script prior to flashing a new ROM... just to ensure you're starting with a clean, fresh base.

My mate and XDA Member, hawkerpaul has made 2 such scripts and they are available from my Dev-Host site http://d-h.st/users/ApriliaM3/?fld_id=9253#filesHERE

Check the link in the description for an explanation of what the 2 different scripts will do before you decide to use them."

Can I use this to recovery my S2 - i777 also ? is there another thread for it

Samsung : S2- I777 (Att)

Running : Kernel : 3.0.40-Siyah-s2-v4.1.6 + ROM : SHOstock2 v5.42 (Android 4.0.4 - ICS)

Upgraded to "RR_JB_V3.1.3_AOKP_4.2.1_I777_v2.1.zip" using CMW recovery, selected "Null" for kernel during install so I can continue using existing Siyah kernel. After the rebooting Siyah logo and then black screen. I can't even boot into CMW.

I might have missed "Wipe data & factory reset, how can I go back to my SHOsotck2 or retry this ROM

Hi Guys,

Tried everything in the OP but I can't still get my phone to boot.

Background: Running CM 10.1 nightly. The phone was working fine as I was using it before lunch (calls, msging, etc.). Came back from lunch and phone wouldn't wake. Everytime it boots it'll get stuck at the boot logo. I can get in download mode but not recovery mode.

Tried going through all the steps in the OP: bootloader, kernel, csc/modem/code with/without PIT and everything always succeeds in Odin. However when the phone reboots it still gets stuck on the boot logo. If I try to holding volUP+home+power it'll just black screen after the initial boot logo. After a few minutes of black screen it'll come up with the kernel panic upload error.

Anyone have any other ideas? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
There's nothing much to say in this thread, since it's all already here, but I could say "Check your usb cable, try all your usb sockets, try another pc, always remember to update kies and close it all up before flashing."

"and If you can still get to DL mode, keep on flashing till you really want to send it to service center".

That's about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corthalis:
Have tried all of the above. To the service centre it is!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
lol take it easy, see it this way:

Best case scenario: you keep searching & trying, here on XDA, for the next 3 days. Tomorrow, maybe saturday you nail that epic flash and you're up on your feet once again.

Worst case scenario: you get exactly where you are now.

Remember, as long as you can get to DL mode, your chances are high. Just keep on flashing.

You flashed the wrong ROM for your device. That's way your boot says it's I9100G.

Once you've flashed that JB ROM, GT-I9100 boot will come back.

- Turn your device Off.

- Remove SD card & SIM Card.

- Try the combo again, keep pressing till you get to download Mode.

- Plug your phone to your Computer.

Hard Brick!

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone could help with my hard bricked SGS2. I tried to root the phone and ended up with the yellow triangle. Tried to fix it and ended up with a hard brick where it doesn't turn on and cannot be connected to charge or USB data.

I just had my first baby and had a bunch of pictures from the hospital on that hard drive. I didn't back anything up before....(dumb). I really want to recover my files. Please let me know if anything can be done.

I got a replacement phone and need to return this one to tmoble soon. So I don't care if it cant be fixed. I just want my data recovered. But I have about 30 days to mess with it before tmobile charges me.

I appreciate your time.

Thanks

Great guide, thank you. Hope i'll never have 2 use it...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maramat_99:
This guide is perfect!

I've had the problem several times and up to now solved it by trying 1000 times to flash a multifile - I9100OXAKP8 for ICS 4.0.3 (with pit, phone, modem and csc and with re-partition clicked). In the end somehow it worked, but it was a miracle, not science... :) I simply prayed to it! :)

Now, whith what you've wrote, everything is more than perfect, just two minor problems: the links that you gave for the Kernel (http://www.multiupload.com/WDOO81L5H6]Kernel) and for the bootloader (http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD]Bootloader) are not working. In fact, multiupload has never worked for me. It just doesn't show anything on the page.

So, do you have any other links to download the kernel, the bootloader and a CF flash (with CWM and busybox) for the XXI3?

And do all the above work if I had already installed the 4.0.3 without keeping the original stock firmware and without any backup or do I need to search for other kernel to flash?

Thank you so much! Hope I'll manage to do it :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
I'm sorry, but I currently can't find the kernel anywhere on my PC... Your best bet is to create a REQ thread requiring the kernel... I'll add a working bootloader link too.

Oh man... Firstly, congratulations on the baby! I wish lots of good luck & health :)

Secondly, unfortunately, as the phone is dead, there is no way to access it due to the bootloader being dead on a hard brick, so retrieving the files is impossible... I'd suggest you create a thread about this issue on the Q&A forum...

Unfortunately, I don't have the kernel link, but I do have the bootloader, which will add later :)

OK so managed to stuff the phone - was running CM9 pulled the battery think I corrupted the Nand. Could get into odin but not clockwork. Have managed to flash the full recovery, however before this flashed villianrom 1.1, then new root via odin - CF-root-SGS2_XW_WEU_KE7-v4.0.

This got me back into clockwork recovery and villianrom booted fine - updated into villianrom 3.0 problem is on shutdown get the flashing battery icons. Don't think this is a hardware issue, have now flashed recovery as shown - flashing battery icons have now gone - problem is when shutting the phone down it will always reboot. Still think there is a problem possibly in the kernal but have no kernal to flash :(

So any idea's phone works 98% there just this last issue, Oh and whenever I tried to get back into CM9 I get a full corruption drops back to nand problem. So whatever has been corrupted. If anyone has the missing link to the kernal of front page I'll owe u a beer - payable when your next in Sydney :)

Do you know anyplace else from where I could take the kernel? I'm a beginner here and wouldn't want to disturb people with a new thread :)

What about rooting? Do you happen to have a CF Root for this firmware?

Anyway, i've just downgraded my phone from ICS to 2.3.5. It was crashing 5 ties a day, especially when i was trying to enter the settings (of the phone and of other installed apps like weather, lawncher etc). I couldn't take it anymore.

Also the packet data internet was not working, even though I have an unlimited plan. Unfortunately this seems to be a problem with 2.3.5 also. I've called the operator to check on the settings and they were ok. Can't understand what's wrong...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkl_uk:
Due to the fact the Kernel link is down, I grabbed a CF-root version and tried with that instead.

Obviously i'm able to flash the Kernel - but the moment I try to flash the firmware I receive write failed issues. Is this because of the Kernel or because my phone is in fact beyond repair?

Dan
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Yeah, the best bet of getting a kernel is by doing a REQ thread... The only way to totally fix it is to flash a kernel, but, yeah :rolleyes: :(

ICS reset the APN list. You have to add the internet and MMS APN manually. I have the root kernel, uploaded here :)

Because the new bootloader (post-2.3.4) doesn't let you reset the flash count. You have to flash the old bootloader to reset the firmware flash count.

Well, CF Root is kernel isn't quite the stock kernel, because it should be flashed ON TOP the already existing kernel, so the only way to repair that issue is to flash a healthy kernel, which I've been trying to figure out and find a kernel...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkl_uk:
Well scrub everything I said because the simple action of trying the exact same method on my laptop, without even using an official cable meant the whole thing worked. I was able to flash a KE7 O2uk version in seconds - after three hours of messing about thinking i'd got broken nand. I now have a cwm backup from January restored and in place.

In this case I would suggest many people either try a different usb port or even a different computer entirely.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maramat_99:
Thanks, Pistacchio, I downloaded the CF-Root kernel but haven't used it yet. I rooted my phone with insecure kernel and just left it like that.

If you happen to have the stock kernel for the XWKI8 upload it, if not, mine works just fine with the insecure one.

Or, is there any other custom kernel that I might flash? Does anyone know?
