I agree with you and in special way for soft brick due to the wrong firmware.

I wish to add the link for all the file ( PIT, PDA, MODEM, CSC, BOOTLOADER, APBOOT) of i9100G CHN KH4, it is a little old but good to repair the chn version.

ht * tp:/ /115.com/file/dnecfzp4

To download the file push the green button... in the begin I had some problem to find all the file for the chn version.... hope will be helpfull:p
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Phistachio:
Oh wow, thanks a LOT! I was looking for the .PIT and the bootloader since always! I'll download the file and upload it to mediafire to facilitate :) (but that'll only be up when I get home, I'm at school at the moment :p)

Also, when my laptop arrives, I'll download each package, and add the .PIT so people can have a full recovery :) (the bootloader will be in a separate download)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] maui75:
Great idea...I can not do it, here mediafire does not work :(

In the begin I did not know the difference from the 9100G and the 9100:confused: so I flashed the wrong rom to root :rolleyes: I drived crazy to find the link :D

Now will be better :cool:
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Phistachio:
No problem! You already helped me like so much! :D Thanks a lot again!

It will be better indeed :cool:

i9100G ROMS seem to all have different pit files

I ran across a problem while trying to flash the latest ROM from India on a phone bought in China, it always failed at "MSO" and was never recoverable until I flashed back the Chinese ROM, it seems the Indian ROM pack had some different files the Chinese ROM did not have. In short the partitioning appears to be different between some of the ROMS. So is it possible to find the pit files that are connected to each ROM?

Stucked on Samsung Logo... passed.

Hello!

Last night I was checking memory status and before phone draw all the bars it just stopped! Even the power button didn't work, didn't go to st. by.!!! For the first time since I have it. (it's ICS 4.0.3 stock)

So I held power button for some time and it restarted to Samsung Galaxy SII screen and just stood there forever... I let it for two, three, five minutes and held power again till it eventually restarted again - the same! I was desperate, but in that powering on and off become very late so I took out the battery and went to bed. In the morning I returned the battery and AGAIN the same!

I was desperate so I left it on that logo screen and started to read forums... just too see if there is something easier than to take it to the service (it's still under warranty...).

Well, after 30-45 minutes I took it and it was off, the screen was off. When I pressed the power button it went ON just as normal as NEW! :D

So, as I have experienced, maybe it sometimes needs much time to resolve it's bugs on it's own way, but it eventually might!

Hope this helps someone... :cyclops:

Currently my phone is stuck on SII logo. It wont go on recovery mode as well...

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Just flash via ODIN with the pit file...:)...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] neerajganga:
the recovery package is in the OP

u can also download it from samfirmware.com

and flash

flash ICS 4.0.3 if u ver on ICS

and do not use PIT
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Rupeshgw:
??

Flashed 4.0.4 via odin via PDA... works like a charm now... But just wondering what must have happened.. i just restored from backup as MIUI rom was giving lot of errors...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Why shouldn't we use pit? We usually use that for NAND r/w corruptions right?

I used that to help many of my friends to upgrade to ICS and no problem at all...:)..even though their phones were not bricked...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] neerajganga:
pit is used wen there is a nand r/w but i don think rupesh had a nand failure

Did everything on this Guide to fix my Friend's S2G and didn't Work :") !!!!!

The whole story is, The phone had stock 4.0.3 on it (STOCK) then I rooted it using LP7 and It worked like a charm then I wanted to flash a Custom ROM, so I wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik-Cache then i installed the ROM, It worked the Installation Perfectly BUT THEN, when I tried to reboot it would be stuck @Galaxy SII sign So I read here it is a Nand r/w error as I coudn't reach recovery. So I did EVERYTHING, and then i got a BLACK SCREEN, Even the Galaxy SII sign won't appear, and the ONLY THING I CAN REACH IS Download Mode. In download Mode, It has everything the same BUT the android has a 0 on it this time. I can't give it to Samsung Support as it has 2 conuts on Custom Binary. Now I can't even flash the Firmware again through Odin as it freezes somewhere different everytime. PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's my friend's NEW phone !!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Using the pit file while flashing...:)...and factory reset of course...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] craftsvision:
You need to Flash Stock ROM again using odin to get your phone back in working condition. Thats how my same problem was resolved and if it doesnt work then flash stock ROM AGAIN but do not play with boot loader until some expert advice you here.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] johnhany97:
The thing is that odin freees at NAND write start and doesn't continue .... I want to fix the phone ....
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] gp545:
Try to remove battery for few minutes and boot in to Odin Mode.

Put Stock 4.0.3/4.0.4 firmware pack on PDA section of Odin. Don't click on any other options. Flash firmware. :)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] craftsvision:
Exactly, thats why I doubt too you are not using correct or stock firmware for your mobile. Which ODIN version are you using? I used latest version and it didnt worked and then I used 1.83 and it worked. I still have all of these files and the mg5 that successfully recovered my phone is CODE_I9100XXKI3_CL577579_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 I dont exactly know what this filename tells but this one worked.

I tried a few different methods from this thread but this one was the one that gave life back to my i9100g. thank you all for the great solutions and information for us nabz :P

this method worked flawlessly from the 1st time

*edit*

weird thing I encountered though, for the 1st time since I started repairing mobile phones... after two full stock flashes with wipe data + cache after, one ics and one gb it asked for password in recovery when I tried to format data. the third flash with stock ics removed that password and I was able to wipe all data. now my question... how was that possible ? cause I'm interested in puting a strong password like that on my own android device
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] aehb:
My phone is I9100G, I was trying to upgrade it to Jellybean 4.1.2 and I didn't know that it's not compatible, so the phone got stuck in the "Phone-Exclamation-Computer" mode.

Then I used your method and installed the stock ROM and the phone overcame accepted the ROM and restarted, thank you very much.

But then I faced another problem, when the phone restarted I got the screen of "Touch the android to begin", and the phone starts to give me several messages that some applications stopped unexpectedly, an application per message, some of them are the applications I installed before like WhatsApp, and gives me a button captioned "Force Close", every time I press this button the message disappears and when I touch the android to begin the message comes again. I noticed that the application named "com.google.process.gapps" gives the error again and again, and the phone is stuck again in this loop, please help :(

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

I forgot to mention that I bought the phone as second hand, the former owner installed android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich on it, may be that is the reason? May be the programs are for android 4 and hence they are not compatible with Gingerbread?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:

Hope above procedure will help you

I also need help to install orginal firmware !!!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
You have a very messed up phone I see...next time, always remember to flash stuff for I9100G only...stay away from those meant for I9100...

Here's a possible fix:

1. Reboot into recovery and do a factory reset...

2. Flash a firmware meant for I9100G via ODIN with pit file, uncheck repartition (this is very important, double check that your phone is I9100G and the firmware is for I9100G)...it is better to use the ODIN files provided in this thread...

3. Reboot and it should be done...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] aktsa:
ya right i messed up with that

but I am unable to go into recovery mode i am got stuck at S logo and for reboot i have to remove the battery

after inserting it by pressing UP +POWER+Home button i can go into ODIN mode

after that i also flashed rom with Options "Auto Rebot" and "F.reset time" Checked

but again after that and pass of the sodtware it will stuck at Logo

so please tell which options Has to be checked while flashing

And Is Flashing HAs to Done With PIT file

I am downloading the firmware from Samsmobile site .i have downloaded PIT from der

so please reply The entire process !!!

thanks in advanced !!!!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Are you sure you entered download mode by pressing volume up+home+power?That's for entering recovery mode...It should be volume DOWN+home+power for download mode...

Place the pit file into the pit section in ODIN...check only the 2 options as shown in the first post of this thread...then start flashing...next, enter recovery mode and factory reset...hope you get what I mean...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] aktsa:
yeah i going in download mode by Down+home+Power button and now in recovery mode by UP button

Hi all.

My problem is as follows and hope that someone can help.

I have downloaded odin mobile and installed it on my S2 I9100 G which previously had CM 10 installed on it and I wanted to flash the official firmware using Odin mobile. I did run it and then the phone prompted me for M5 or Md5 that was detected and should click yes to verify before flashing. I clicked yes then it started verifying and when it was done it rebooted and then was stuck on the (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen) and did not want to move. I waited for an hour and a half and nothing happened. When I removed the battery (I could not reset or do anything else) and put it back, the phone turned on by itself and stayed still on the starting screen (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen)

Now I'm not being able to put it in recovery nor download mode.

Can any one help and anyone knows if the jtag dongle can actually force it to go to download mode even at this stage

Thanks in advance for any suggestion

Hello,

I hope this thread is still alive.

As many of you, I have somehow brick my phone. What I did:

-stock JB 2.3.6

-I have root it via odin (it worked OK, root access, CWM installed correctly)

-I installed CM 10.1 via CWM

Now I am stuck at recovery. Anything I do, the phone goes to recovery. I cannot even power it off (unless I remove battery). I cannot go into download mode, because it goes automatically to recovery (no combo pressed of course).

I can wipe/install etc, but nothing changes. Windows/Odin does not recognize the phone, except OMAP 4430, which I did not find any drivers.

Any help on this?

Thank you.
