i9100G ROMS seem to all have different pit files

Got past that by going back to Chinese stock, then flashing the Supertamos Kernel and ROM, maybe it is some kind of flag that Odin picks up from the Chinese ROM. No biggie just one big pain in the ###

Odin does not detect my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G

Hello,

I was trying to update my Gingerbird with ICS using Odin. it got stuck i disconnected the phone and tried to re-do from the begining but Odin does not detect my phone, neither i can boot my phone in download mode. i can see only the "mobile, Exclamation Mark, and PC".

Please help.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Metallico:
Do you have the last drivers?

Did you try before restart your pc?

I bricked my S2 one time just pluged the usb, re-try wiyh ODIN and was ready.

I don´t what to say.

Good luck man and maybe you should try to make a google search.

I think that you can find somthing there

Anyway, surely someone from XDA will help you
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Phistachio:
Even if you can't access dl mode, reach the !->exclamation mark point, connect and flash with ODIN.
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] LakSamS2:
No i dont have the last drives and i restarted several times, i even googled and got some drivers and installed but still nothing works. i tried the One Click unbrick (Heimdall) but that also did not work it every time says USB drivers are not installed properly start phone in download mode and install the drivers. But my phone does not start in downlload mode.

I tried connecting to the Odin but it does not add my device. so i cant flash:(

Hi

i have used this method but i m failed odin stop always when i flashed this plz tell me solution ?

Br,
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Perceval from Hyrule:
Hi people,

Thank you a lot for this very useful tool !

However, a friend of mine had the brilliant idea to flash an ICS i9100 rom on his i9100g, and now it's stuck into nice brick. I can't access either to recovery or Download mode.

The phone, on USB, just bootloop again and again (works about 5 seconds) on the logo with small phone---Triangle---Computer. That's the major problem, as I have no time to flash back to a supported rom.

Without USB, the screen is always black.

--> Samsung USB drivers : no success, Windows 7 has troubles installing them because it disconnects too fast. It detects the drivers : OMAP4430, SAMSUNG USB CDC Composite Device, SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem.

--> Odin : phone detected while "alive", I just had time to flash OMAP PIT file but it didn't solve the problem.

--> Kies :detects the phone by the time it's working.

--> ADB : no detection.

--> One-click UnBrick : not working, keeps asking for drivers not found/installed but not working.

I've been trying everything, but I still can't get it to work. Does anyone have an idea, before trying any hardware hack to force download mode ?
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] fauzi_91:
if odin can detect, u can try flash any firmware as long as it is for g vrsion..
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Perceval from Hyrule:
Sure, I've been trying so, but USB can't stand long enough to flash a whole ROM as it works only few seconds. I had just time to flash a 2kb PIT. Once it's been standing for about 1 minute, but it finally rebooted while I was flashing the ROM.

EDIT : SOLVED !

Another friend of mine took the phone apart, and it couldn't stand USB connection because of very heavy battery discharge (it looks battery has a problem, it was fully charged but discharged as hell). So he had time to flash most part of a rom, enough to get the download mode back. This morning, I have successfully flashed a recovery/stock rom, and now the phone works as usual ! (Battery drain to keep a eye on).

Hope this would help other people :)

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Perceval from Hyrule:
This doesn't exist, and never will. Your phone is either a Samsung, either a HTC. Flashing rom between manufacturers result in 100% hard brick.

Please post a screenshot of your "About your phone", or tell what's written below model number.

Current ICS development for the GT-i9100G, also since Samsung made no ICS rom for this model, makes it VERY DANGEROUS to install for people who don't know what they're doing. If you're not experienced, I wouldn't recommend at all doing so, or get a very detailled tutorial (there's one on the main thread), otherwise you'll have a big risk to turn your device into a Minecraft brick ;)
[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Phistachio:
If there is no download mode, JTAG is the only option.

I need a bit more info, what happened, what did you do, etc?

Kies?!?!?! NEVER! :p

Just flash any of the ROMs from the OP.

JTAG is your only option, because by flashing the I9100 ROM into the I9100G you messed up the bootloader, and now the only option is a JTAG.

Make sure that your battery is charged and the cable connection is stable.

As Perceval said, post a picture from your "About Phone" section.

Perceval, merci beaucoup pour aidez-moi avec la organisation et aide geral du thread! Je suis très reconnaissant pour votre aide :)

I finally got my device back up and working actually the culprit is the PIT file without which the ODIN kept failing and once i got the PIT file everything was fine and i was able to flash the stock firmware and thn flashed lucifer kernel uv1600 to get root and now my phone is up and rooted.. thnx for the guide though :p:p:p

[Galaxy S II I9100G Android Development] Phistachio:
Where did you gett he .PIT for the I9100G? If you have it, could you please upload it?

Well, from that point on the only way to unbrick is with a .PIT, and I do not have it at the moment... :(

Try re-flashing the package a few more times perhaps?

Just flash the GB recovery package, and you should be set :)

Wipe before the flash.

As I said before, the last thing to try is a .PIT, but as we don't have it, I must advise you to send it to JTAG repair...

Before you can recover from a soft brick, you must first know if the phone is an International i9100G or a Chinese i9100G, the bootloaders are different.

I'm in Bermuda - unfortunately, no one here seems to have run into my current dilemna...

I really don't know what to do to resolve my incident as my phone will not boot into either download mode or recovery mode - it is stuck on the splash screen w/ the yellow triangle and exclamation mark. When I try to press and hold Vol Up + Power + Menu button - the screen just turns black; same when I try Vol Down + Power + Menu as well as Vol Up + Vol Down + Power.

Neither my PC or macbook pro recognize the device when connecting via USB. So I cannot use Odin or Heimdall as some of you have suggested.

I have tried to reinstall the Samsung USB drivers and that did not work.

I'm really frustrated as I've been up most of the night trying to resolve this and I don't have the resources to make the USB jumper/jig device.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

UPDATE: Success!!! After much prayer, and then re-reading, and re-reading...

I removed my battery for about 30 seconds. Strangely enough, the phone did not automatically turn on and go back to the black screen w/ the yellow triangle.

I then used the Vol Down + Menu + Power combo and viola!!! I have finally and successfully entered download mode!

I then followed the steps to the guide, as I had already downloaded the necessary files.

My wife's phone is now operational - not rooted but working.

Thank you all for your patience with me.
