Get the french firmware and follow the instructions.

If you can't go to recovery, skip the cleaning caches instructions for now.

Download the ICS LP7 kernel and follow instructions (Odin pda...)

Then you should be able to go in recovery (finger crossed :D)

Hi Quickgsm,

I was in this position but with a chinese i9100G; but i think it must be simple. Only things I want to know is :

- Can you boot to I9100GXXLPN ?

- Did you try to flash kernel with Cyanogen 5 for ICS (teamhacksung.org/download/samsung/GT-I9100G/GT-I9100G_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar) ?

If you want to describe in french, you can cause i'm french too ;)

bro i think you have more than a soft brick.

i think its a corrupted partition. i should not advise any further cause im not certain my self. i will try to read up on your situation and see if i can help, but i hope other more experienced users help you on this matter.

one last thing, remove battery from phone for 30 minutes. then put battery back in and try to reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickgsm:
Thank you my friend :)

i am waiting for your answer :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChibiKenji:
OK, i think i got it ! You got the CHN PIT so i think your phone will be fine with a Chinese ROM (don't worry the Cyanogen allow you french after all)

Try these :

- flash with the Chinese version I9100GZCLP7 with all files (PIT, bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC)

At this point, your phone should be able to boot to Chinese ICS Stock Rom

- flash with the hacked LP7 Kernel (GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4)

Now, you should be able to access Recovery mode

- Copy GApps and CM9 (ZCLP7 version) ZIPs to your internal SDCard

- Boot into Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Flash GApps zip

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)

- Reboot

Now you have a phone with Cyanogen ICS and you can access to Recovery mode :D

---------------------------------------

OK, je pense avoir saisi le truc ! Tu as utilisé le PIT CHN donc ton tél doit attendre une rom chinoise (en flashant ensuite une cyanogen tu retrouves tout comme une rom FR)

Essaie ça :

- flash avec la version chinoise I9100GZCLP7 avec tous les fichiers (PIT, bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC)

A partir de là, ton tél boote sur la Stock Rom ICS chinoise

- flash le kernel hacked LP7 (GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4)

Maintenant, tu peux accéder au menu Recovery avec la manip'

- Copie GApps & CM9 (version ZCLP7) ZIPs to your internal SDCard

- Boot sous Recovery

- Flash CM9 zip

- Flash GApps zip

- Fais un DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)

- Reboot

Là, tu auras ton tél avec Cyanogen ICS et un mode Recovery accessible :D

You seem to have a NAND corruption mate! Since u can get in Download mode, there is still hope left.

There are a few recent threads about failed Odin flashes on the I9100G. And there was a thread on mixing up I9100 files and getting a NAND corruption. Please search for them first.

hi every body

i need to know :

how can i Create ext4 with clockworkmod 5.0.2.8

i think that just support ext3

any body can explain that ??

Ty
[HTC Wildfire S] rohil surana:
Wrong place post it in q&a forum.
[HTC Wildfire S] yeremiya:
What you need to do is to:

1) turn off your phone and remove the micro-sd

2) plug the micro-sd to an SD adapter of some sort, and attach it to your computer directly

3) use some tool other than CWM recovery to create the needed partitions.

At least, that's how I've done it... :)
[HTC Wildfire S] kalaker:
I've always created EXT4 partitions in CWM 5.0.2.8. However, my partition is always 4GB, too.
[Galaxy S II General] nexo85:
Hey guys! I think this is my first post ever on XDA. But ive been a lurker for years.

I just got my Galaxy s3 last week and after playing with it for a few days I ended up switching back to my Galaxy S2. Cannot stand the new touchwiz! I think this forum has made me an addict of custom roms and kernels! Thus why I'm sticking to the Galaxy S2.

But I'm getting the feeling that with buying android phones is not about how new the device is but how mature the software is. I would rather buy an device 4-6 months post launch to have root and lots of stable custom roms. Learned my lesson with the S3. Guess its going back into the box and waiting 3-4 more months before really going ROM crazy with the phone.

Am I the only one?
[Galaxy S II General] timberwolf60:
haha, Same reason as you but I hold back and waiting for Cristmas offer, I thing that time S3 users can enjoy the great Siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] randomseasons:
Calm down mate, just a few months and things will be different ;)
[Galaxy S II General] atifsh:
No offence but I don't get it what so great about siyah, bunch of bricks, yesterday I tried it first time and it gives random reboots.....

On stock I get easy till mid night, what's the use if I get another 2 hours when I had to plug it anyway before sleep.

And the phone is fast no issues....

even the cm9 gives me 9 hours easy on stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] HotlipsH:
So if I get you right you dropped the fully pre-launch rootable S3 because you didn't like TouchWiz? So installing something like SiyahKernel and Apex Launcher was to much hassle? As far as ROMs are concerned you already have a few to choose from.

You know what, I think your a troll...
[Galaxy S II General] bluefa1con:
siyah is in experimental stage

you flash it at your own risk

but it ease the process of developing roms

you can flash your experimental rom as the 2nd rom without worrying about a brick

the "bunch of bricks" is samsungs fault not siyahs
[Galaxy S II General] nexo85:
A troll? Um ok... welcome I guess...

But yea i did try out the other launchers and I still didnt like it. Apex is the one I tried.

I really wanted what they have in CM9 which lets me toggle brightness right from the notification bar.

Anyways maybe once CM9 is out for the Galaxy S3 I will give it another shot.

But seriously should have waited for the christmas discounts before buying the phone. Meanwhile its back to the S2
[Galaxy S II General] Fwuffy86:
Try Apex launcher and enjoy ur new phone lol.

But this is one of the reasons i will wait buying an S3. In a few months time the price will drop and there will be more roms.
[Galaxy S II General] sangosnip69:
I'm the developer of SaNgO Vizion ( Custom rom ), and I want to develop on the GS3.

But there is a problem, the price of the phone.

You know, I think there is a lot of developer like me, who want to develop and know what they must do to mod, but the price is too expensive.

I'm only 16, so you see, it's hard to find 600euros...

It's why I ask for donations in my thread :p.

I think it's one of the big reason of why there is no mod actually.

Have a good day, and sorry for my english.
[Galaxy S II General] ixon2001:
I plan on Getting a S3 but not for another 6 months, I made the mistake when the orginal Galaxy S came out, bought it right away and had a few problems with it at the time, I waited 6 months for the GS2 i'll wait again for the S3, by then loads of custom roms & hopefully a stable ICS to work from, plus it be cheaper aswell and Pebble blue will be very easy to get hold off.
[Galaxy S II General] ouzogott:
I got my SGS2 just as it was available and was happy with it, but this because I had before the Nexus One and I didn't flashed custom ROM's at this time.

Now I flash neary every week and I would miss it when I would get SGS3 now.

Also memory with 16GB is not sufficent for me, min. is 32GB, even I can extend it by mirco SD, internal memory could be not big enough.

[Galaxy S II General] SamuelLG:
I want to buy one S3, but i'll wait a little longer (at least until the last quarter of the year).

I bought my S2 a month after the release, its my first smart phone.

S3 looks good, but S2 still robust, i have ICS NEE XWLPG installed and with some modifications, my batery last up three days with intense use of internet and aplications.

I doubt S3 do something like that
[Galaxy S II General] Jokesy:
S2 is the best phone ever! however, I will buy S3 once it's available in my country

Yep!
[Galaxy S II General] Paradoxxx:
S3 = S2 +2 Cores, and bigger screen. More bloated Operating system than ever.

Do not worth spending my money on it, and it looks ugly and cheap in my opinion.

[Galaxy S II General] Fustigador:
I have no reason to change to S3, if it came out with a camera of 20mp or if there was any major UI changes and a fair price, i could think of buying it.

Ill just wait for the next nexus to see if is a good stepup.

Until then S2 just ROCKS!!!
[Galaxy S II General] akz080:
im in the same boat, but i might hold out for the next nexus rather than the s3
[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
I wanted to buy the the S3, until it came out and i realized that nothing it has really appeals to me. Faster? S2 is fast enough and with zero lag. 20 pics a second? I wouldn't use it. Size? S2 is big enough to use as a phone. If i wanted something that big I'd get a Note. S-voice? Ha!

Better screen? Ok, one point for the S3......

[Galaxy S II General] raheeljessa:
Buddy you're doing what I've been doing for years.

Yes some ppl want the latest and greatest and while apple have been giving ppl that for years, samsung has been stealing their thunder with the galaxy S series

I bought my htc desire about 4 months after release, wasnt late enough and there wasnt that much stable stuff out for it nor was there a completely safe way to unlock and root it.

Got my sgs2 6 months after release, what a breath of fresh air it was.

almost immediately installed siyah kernel and went mad installing roms.

Figured out I could have a stock rom and a secondary rom then i went absolutely ballistic! had a 32gb usb drive with me all the time with a usb otg adaptor and would just randomly flash secondary roms into the phone just for fun cos I had a stable working stock ROM

What I'm saying is that if you're a "power user" aka nerdgeek etc you just get a slightly older phone and enjoy with it cos you save money and you get what you called a "matured" dev scene! :)

btw i think s3 isnt worth the upgrade just yet. I'll keep my s2, hope ppl port all the features of s3 ont s2 and enjoy myself

[Galaxy S II General] dsingh300:
I still have a year+ left on my current contract. no s3 for me :( I don't know about the touchwiz but it is such a powerful phone!
[Galaxy S II General] raheeljessa:
its illegal for a cyanogenmod distro to come with google apps out of the box.

Samsung cannot sell their phones without the google play market, it's like apple selling an iphone without the app store or nokia selling a symbian device without the OVI store.

no gapps means no gtalk, gmail, gmaps, calendar and no market.

and theyre in no place to set up their own marketplace like amazon

what samsung does is keeps the phone easy to root so ppl with a little bit of experience can root it, they also make open source as much of the source code as they can obviously apart from the source code or drivers of closed source processor/chipsets etc. To get around this problem they give cyanogenmod devs a few free phones, gave them 4 s2 when it came out, right now s3 is short globally so they will soon but not now.

the s3 source code is out so cyanogenmod devs are probably already working on their port of cm9 and they're probably also porting all the apps and features on the s3 to other phones (or maybe other devs are doing that)

smart stay and that video popup thing will be on s2 soon! fingers crossed

the launcher is already available!
[Galaxy S II General] nexo85:
I thought that it just cant be bundled together in the release. Doesnt miui and other roms have gapps bundled? And cyanogen has gapps links in their wiki?

I love my S2 more than ever, I used to have a desire but it was under warranty so I never rooted it, my S2 on the otherhand was bought cheap off a mate and had all optus crap on it, removing it was my original goal but now I'm a well informed root user and thus will never go to a phone I couldn't install custom roms ect!
[Galaxy S II General] XERO_Racer:
To be completely honest i think the US version of the S3 is just an S2 with a new face and an extra gb of ram and ICS and features i wouldnt need. Its dual core instead of quad which is a huge deal breaker in my opinion. But i just got my S2 basically a year late but this phone is perfect, screen size is just right unlike the S3 with a massive 4.8inch, idk why id need that. Yet again i feel like ill return my S2 and wait for the S3 release....still in the clouds, and itll take time to rack a little more money to get the S3 cuz i got the S2 for one hell of a deal! idk what im going to do!
[Galaxy S II General] alchemist316:
Why leave a phone over a Rom you know will come soon enough also I have the epic touch s2 amazing device keeps up with my EVO LTE not on paper but everyday use its close .

I think the s3 is all around great both devices are but one has new things on it I'm keeping my s2 and getting the s3 also have the EVO LTE but my issue is international or us lol , leaning more to the international because have the s4 in a phone already ..
[Galaxy S II General] usama492:
i dont think so that SGSIII Is a success.. in my country the price difference of the GSII & GSIII is 300$..:eek:

that is way too much for a phone with not such a great differnce in power.. i haven't seen my Galaxy i9100 hang or lag.. and dualcore is still a very rare and powerful commodity among smart phones.. so i would definitely go for GSii and wait for the S4 or the next nexus whkch would probably be offering a 2GB ram :cool:
