[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] xxnsra:
Still nothing.

When i try other ROM, i have the same problem. The odin stops on the factoryfs.img then my phone go back to the phone-!-computer screen.

Then i need to use again the CWS recovery, so i can use the download mode again (and now he freezes on the screen SG logo + !).

And thats it. I cant make the ODIN works 100%.

I dont know what to do more.

Problem fixed!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] squirtle:
I have tried to follow the instructions of this guide, but it hasn't worked. My phone used to be stuck on the boot screen, with the Samsung GS2 + yellow triangle, when turned on, but now it shows a mobile+triangle+computer screen saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." after I tried to flash a stock rom with Odin.

I tried to flash it yesterday, with no luck because Odin didn't recognize my device. I tried again today, Odin did find my device, and I flashed, but it only got to factoryfs and then failed. (it is after that it has been showing the firmware warning screen)

I am new to rooting (and androids, probably should've done more research and thinking before trying to root my phone, but now I'm stuck in this pickle) so I am sorry if I am asking obvious questions.

I used the pit file I first downloaded from my phone at the very beginning when trying to flash the firmware, was this wrong? I have tried just leaving the pit blank and flashing the firmware but the same thing happened.

I can't it into recovery mode manually, and Kies doesn't connect to it.

On the sticker inside of my phone the ssn is -I9100GSMH and the model is GT-I9100. Might I be mistaken about it being a I9100G?

Hi everyone.

My problem was:

- I have a GT-I1900G and installed a ICS ROM for I-I1900 on my phone.

- Results: The phone got bricked. The only screen he showed was the famous (phone--!--computer). The download mode and recovery mode DID NOT WORK! (but ODIN recognized the phone)

How i solved it:

- Install KIES on your computer (with the samsung drivers only did not work for me) - Restart your computer. After that, see if the KIES processes aren't open (use ctrl+alt+del to see it)

- Download this CWM (clockwordmod) - CWM Recovery for Galaxy S2 - I9100G

- Open ODIN, and in PDA select the .tar file of the CWM.

- Connect your phone (turned on) on your computer.

- After the ODIN recognizes it, press START.

If it works, congratz! Disconnect your phone from the computer, and now, probably, you can acess the download mode and see the recovery mode (its the CWM. He enters in recovery mode automatically).

On the CWM menu, use the options: "wipe data/factory" and "wipe cache partition".

- Remove the battery.

- Wait 10 sec and put the battery again. Turn on the phone on download mode (vol down + home + turn on).

- Download one of the STOCK ROMs on this topic. Extract the files.

- Connect the phone on the computer, and put in PDA the new .tar file, from the stock rom.

- Press START.

- Pray, cry or whatever you want.

OBS: If it didnt work, try to use another laptop. I installed KIES on my laptop, and it didnt work. When i used my girlfriend's laptop, it worked! And i have absolutely sure that it was all okay on my laptop (drivers installed and processes off).

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] dragunu:
devic - exclamation mark - pc

I followed a guide on the net on how to update my brand new Samsung S2 to ICS, only to find out later, after trying countless attempts to update it via Odin, that the firmware which I tried to update with, which of course failed with a NAND write error, was that of the I9100 and not I9100G... and the phone could neither reboot properly, nor was it able to get into download mode, since it kept flashing the annoying mobile-exclamation mark-pc symbol.

Tried this guide out, and worked like a charm. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Just make sure to have your drivers installed properly, and the file should work smoothly. I tried mine on a Windows XP and worked brilliantly.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] groggycl:
Used this guide and it worked. I think I hard bricked it, and for some reason I wasn't able to odin without a pit file so I used the ''omap4_all_20110627_emmc'' file I found on the internet and then I had no problem flashing. I wasn't able to enter download mode, I was stuck at phone-exclam-pc icon, but odin went through it without problem.

The thing now is that I can't install apps because of low memory, phone restart itself. What can I do? should I flahs it again? Is there an odin firmware that comes rooted?

If anyone could help that'd be great, I really can't make heads or tails and at this point have been up all night trying to resuscitate my phone.

I was putting on cyanogen on it when, I guess I stepped out and the cats pulled out the USB. At any rate, if I turn my phone on it pops the Galaxy S II GT-I9100 screen (with the yellow exclamation point) and then blank screens. The LED stays lit, blue.

I updated all the samsung drivers for my PC and when I try to run odin (and download mode), the PC doesnt pick up the USB connection, ergo Odin doesn't, either. If I attempt to go to the recovery mode, the Galaxy SII screen flashes twice and it loads "CEM-based recovery v5.5.0.4", which seems like it'd be helpful, except that it wont let me. (E: Can't mount /sdcard/).

Maybe it's the tiredness kicking in, but I'm at a loss.

Any help would be super appreciated

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] hemanth_jan:
Help Help!!

The problem in detail:

I had rooted my phone.

Was running on CWM Recovery & CM10 ROM.

I tried to install a Team Win recovery project(Touch) recovery mode.I did not wipe the cache(Probably this could be the step i missed).

Phone got struck at the samsung Galaxy S2 screen. It never entered recovery mode. But entered Download mode. Used odin to flash CWM recovery. It failed repeatedly. Removed the battery while in download mode. And the rebooted the phone.

The screen showed firmware update problem connect to kies and enter recovery mode.Tried flashing it with CWM again. Pass! thought i was lucky but then when i restarted the phone, the samsung logo would appear for 5 sec and the screen goes blank. Unable to enter recovery and download mode. But, Odin recognizes the phone when connected. Been trying to flash with CWM recovery but the odin is struck at setupConnection...

Have i made my phone a expensive paper weight?:confused: :crying:

Someone please give me a solution to this. I have browsed and tried evrything possible. But odin is struck at setupconnection!!
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] kirankm:
Did you try flashing ICS first. Right now you already have CWM in your system which is why you are not able to flash CWM through ODIN. So flash ICS firmware once, then reboot, flash CWM and then you can flash cm10 again.

Hope you have made a back up.

Also you haven't bricked your phone AFAIK. It wouldn't reach till the samsung logo if you had bricked it.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] hemanth_jan:
I have a backup of apps and personal stuff. I tried flashing the official firmware as well. The problem here is my phone doesn't enter download mode or recovery mode. So because of this odin is stuck at setupconnection. I'll any way try to flash ICS (CM9) again.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] kirankm:
If you cannot enter download mode, i don't think you can use odin. Your phone is not hard bricked right now. But i don't know how to fix your problem.

You might need to use a usb jig. Some one in galaxy s2 forum was able to enter the download mode using usb jig when he wasn't able to enter manually.

Also you will not be able to enter download mode when usb is pluggeed in. So make sure you have removed your usb before trying.

First enter download mode then connect to pc

i read somewhere that you can enter download mode by pressing volume down + power. You should try that as well
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] hemanth_jan:
Ya i tried to enter download mode without plugging in the USB. I have ordered for an USB jig waiting for it to arrive. That is the only option left for me. *Fingers crossed*
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] kirankm:
you can also try using volume down + power to enter the download mode.

I have a similar issue. I have a Sprint GS2 that is showing the phone+!+computer screen and will not boot.

I CAN enter download mode by Power + volume down , then volume UP and I see

ODIN MODE

product name: GT-i9100

Custom Binary Download: YES (2 counts)

Current Binary: Samsung Official

I've installed Samsung KIES but the computer does not detect the phone.

shutdown KIES and tried ODIN, it does not see the phone either.

Removed KIES and the USB drivers and restarted the computer.

Installed the drivers alone and tried ODIN again and it still does not see the computer.

I connected my old Captivate and was able to get the computer to see it with the same USB port and cable.

To be safe, I tried another usb port and a another cable and the Captivate is seen by the computer but the GS2 is not.

I really need some help as this is my work phone.....I know, I'm stupid. But please help if you can.
