You should have to flash the whole ROM.

Download stock ROM by searching xda. Pull the battery out and insert again, hold the volume down key

Plug in USB . the phone will boot in download mode. Flash the stock ROM. If still does not work try using the pit file search in xda. Search for Ryuinferno posts you will find both pit file posted by him and the procedure to flash it. Make sure u download the correct ROM.

Can't get odin to read my phone. My phone is stuck in the bootloop, and I cannot get into recovery AT ALL. I need something, or ANYTHING because I dont have another phone, someone please HELP!!!!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] sekhon1419:
Pull the battery out,insert it again then surely recovery will work. Press volume vol up and home key then press the power key. Be sure to keep pressed the two keys ( vol up and home) till it boots into recovery. Tell me the steps you got through so that i can help you with better answer.

Odin must detect your phone, restart your PC, change usb port, i was able to fix a friend's phone but obligatory you must use this PIT file that i'm attaching to this post.

Odin instructions:

Select omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit file on PIT

Select I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GXEFLSR_HOME.tar.md5 file on PDA

Auto reboot = ON

Re-partition = ON

F. Reset Time = ON

Flash and fix your phone!

it worked for me on a friend's i9100g phone, i was stuck in the same way you are. Avoid samsung phones as you can.

Hi all

I am facing a issue with my phone , i a not able to install any rom on my phone .

firstly it was showing that "firmware upgrade encounters an issue" then i tried to flash a kernel to move my phone into the recovery mode, but every time i did the flashing it got failed , don't know what is the reason ,(i tried to down the files two three time but same result) ,after that i tried to flash the cmw via flashing (mentioned in the codeworkx thread ) after that i flashed the cm10.2 but its not booting up , after that i installed the latest cwm recovery via blazing kernel but i am getting some other error

I want to add one thing also, i added the pit file while flashing before i got the firmware upgrade encountered an issue" but i did the format everything afterthat
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
Flash Blazing Kernel (not Blazing Safe Kernel), go into recovery, then reflash whatever you were trying to flash...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] TarunBHart:
I already tried it , however I solved this problem.The thing was the pit file, the one you provided in your thread of list of all stock firmwares and kernel stuff was wrong please change that . I flashed through odin with right pit file for re partioning
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Ryuinferno:
The pit file I provided is fine...been using it all along....the error in recovery has nothing to do with partitions... It cannot determine your device model when trying to flash a ROM...
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] John.Massiass:
Success

Hey friends,

I managed to overcome such issue with ODIN :victory:, you only have to forget about the message appears on the set, and check if ODIN recognizes it or not.

Just connect your device and wait till ODIN gets the port number for it.

In the PDA section, brows for the stock ROM you prefere from Sammobile or what ever you want. PS it's preferable to get a stock ROM

Wait till ODIN checks the ROM and verfies it

Press start and set back and relax. :fingers-crossed:

If you get the green box with the "passed" message, then you're okay

And Voila, the device will restart onto the stock ROM you just flashed...

Then you might flash any other ROM of your choice, just take care this time ;)

Good luck friends :)

Help me!!!

Hey guys, I need help from us. last week by mistake install the I9100 ROM on my I9100G .

My phone is now on display SAMSUNG GALAXY SII I9100G not enter recovery mode or download mode, odin does not recognize it. I have Windows 7, I installed the drivers from SAMSUNG again and again and still does not recognize it, replace PC, cable port. I can not come up with the solution. I would appreciate if any of you help me.

I think this is a hardbrick. Is there any way?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Mimoro:
+1
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] HashyCode:
It's not hardbricked. Cause you still can turn on the phone right? Dont panic, just download a firmware for your phone and region from www.samfirmware.com and flash via odin.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Bashar Jarad:
you guys [MENTION=4111865]Mimoro[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1056285]cvalera[/MENTION] should give your phones to any Samsung service to repair it because i think now you have a problem with the boot files and it must be rewrite by Samsung

and as long as your phones give SAMSUNG GALAXY SII I9100G logo so it is not hardbrick
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] xtachix:
its a soft brick

try the following: install samsung kies and let it try to detect the phone, if it does great, allow it to update. then you might want to check the imie, flashing the wrong version normally kills your imie number. so it must be restored. and to do that you must follow this thread: Guide Recover IMIE 9 Steps

now IF the samsung kies trick doesn't work then you have to do something else:

connect the phone to the computer and look in device manager, it most probably needs a driver, so you will have to manually install the drivers through device manager. odin will not recognize the phone if it is not in download mode. but installing that driver then going to samsung kies might do the trick for you.

best of luck.

and dont forget the imie thing.

one more thing about the imie, android ics and jb have a hard time reading a corrupted imie content (which is ruined by flashing the wrong type rom) so for this to work, you might have to go all the way back to gingerbread, for some odd reason, gingerbread can read imie properly even if it is corrupted :) and that's a start i suppose.

Hey guys, i have GT-I9100G and i had 5.1.1 lollipop. And the rom was too slow and laggy for me so i decided to flash a new rom. I downloaded another 5.1.1 from different developer and boot to recovery to flash it. Then i flashed twrp recovery and by accident when i was wiping things, i wiped my internal memory. After that i couldnt transfer any files because i dont have sd card. After i found solution, i transfered rom via adb, and when i tried to flash it i got message "cant mount sd card". So i tried to flash different recovery and got the same message. Then i found out that i can flash recovery via odin. I connected everything started odin and waited. After an hour of waiting i disconnected cable and shut downed odin. Now when i try to enter recovery or download mode i get message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode i Kies & try again. I googled for 2 hours to find a soultion tried many different things and failed. So tell me is there any hope that i can restore my phone to normal or its bricked?

Softbricked or Hardbricked?

Hello there everyone.

I need help for my newly bought SAMSUNG GALAXY SII (GT-I9100G) G-VARIANT.

The problem started when i was trying to flash CWM_S2_I9100G via

Odin 1.85

.

i followed the procedure(I might say correctly because i read it like 20 times)flashed it, and waited for about half an hour and prayed to succesfully install CWM in my SGS2G.

but something went wrong when Odin 1.85,for about 30 minutes, stopped in "SetupConnection".

After 30minutes I carelessly unplugged the usb chord because it took too much time as the tutorial says it only takes 5minutes to finish. Then ODIN says 0 success, 1 failed. Then everything goes wrong. I started to reboot my SGS2G.

then

PHONE-EXLAMATION POINT TRIANGLE-COMPUTER

appears.Now, I cannot go to Download mode and Stock Recovery.

It can be still

detected by Odin

so I tried to repair it by flashing Firmware JB 4.1.2 I9100GXXLSR_I9100GATOLS1_ATO.zip(Open Australia) via ODIN 1.85 but Odin still says "SetupConnection". :crying:

Is my phone a softbricked or hardbricked? And please help to to revive my phone. :(

Thank a lot who reads this!

Samsung GT-I9100G

Galaxy S2 I9100 soft bricked after updating from 12.1 to cm13 ?

Dear All,

I am new to this forum, so sorry if I am posting at the wrong place. Also sorry for my poor english.

I tried to update my S2 from CM12.1 to CM 13. Did the setup from the phone's settings menu. The phone enden up with a bootloop. So I did a research on google, and found a youtube tutorial.

did the following steps:

Downloaded ISO Rec TWRP Recovery for GT-i9100

Downloaded Repartitioning ZIP file

Downloaded CM13 ROM for GT-i9100

Downloaded Marshmallow Gapps

Flashed the ZIP files from my SD card.

After that I ended up with an S2 that would only boot until the CM sign appears. Than it got stuck. The phone didn't flash anything, it came up with all kinds of error messages, when I tried to flash any other ROM or any other ZIP.

I was able to flash Android 4.1.2 via ODIN, phone is working with it, but I still can't flash any ZIP file from my SD card.

Formatted SD card, but problem is still not solved.

I loved my 12.1 NIGHTLY so much, and would be happy to have it back, but when I'm trying to flash I still only get error messages.

Error messages: error status 7, patching system unconditionally, install aborted, E: signature verification failed.

Does anyone have any ideas? 10 hours of Google research and trying to flash any ROM didn't solve my problem.

I'm not a pro, but maybe something with the repartitioning went wrong?

Please please help me. I don't have the money, to buy a new phone.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,

my name is John, and I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 G (i9100G).

Last year I decided to upgrade the version of Android to use Cyanogenmod 11.

Recently I wanted to try CM13. To do so, I decided to revert back to the original Android installed on the phone, and then to install CM13.

Unfortunately I was caught and distracted by several people and I managed to "soft break" my phone : now I can only see the "Firmware upgrade encountered issue" message when I try to start the phone. Even the recovery mode and the download mode are showing this message. I believe I unplugged the phone at the wrong moment.

I can still see that Odin is able to detect the phone. However, when I try to update the firmware, it fails when writing the factoryfs.img file. I use this file I found on this website : I9100GXXLSR_I9100GXXLSP_I9100GXEFLSR_HOME.tar.md5

Don't know if it's the correct file.

Is there anything I can do to recover my phone or is it lost?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Phistachio:
He's actually the 2nd person to have that issue... It tends to make me believe that Chinese phones have some sort of restriction on flashing...

The .PITs are not different. I believe what's different is the hardware itself. Even though both are I9100G, the Chinese phones seem to have some sort of restriction...

Also, maui, I'm going to upload the files at around 22PM GMT, they'll be up at that time :)
