I can access download mode with out jig, and have flashed to stock twice now and cm9 resurrection twice as well.. still not fixed.. i think the boot.img may have swapped some of the partitions around causing this problem, and may need a jtag flash to fix.. if this is true im going to be so MAD. also it seems like others are having the same problem.. might want to pull download link OP

Is there any way to repartition in odin? There is a check box for it, but ive always heard you shouldnt use it..
[Galaxy S II General] Paradoxxx:
Flash pit. As a last solution. But that's probably not a partition swap as Kernel *can't* do that. Post some of the errors you got.

Go mounts and storage and format everything you can also. Even SD if you don't mind data lost.

Hey guys! I appreciate your work with JB, cant wait til this release is stable!

I would like to help with this project, but im kind of a noob with development.(Im an expert on flashing and that kind off stuff though :) )

So i were wondering, if it wasent to much bother , if someone could link me a porting guide or something. :)

Sorry for Nooby question and bad english :)

That happened to me once. If you can get to stock recovery wipe all. Then reflash through Odin again. If that doesn't work download another version of the stock firmware and flash through Odin. For me, Odin Failed a couple if times but then worked.

Good luck mate.

You should have restored your backup..that worked for me..I can't really help you out much but if you can see your recovery anyway, and have a nandroid backup, just RESTORE it.

thanks friend, i will do this

Flashing cm9 still shouldn't have caused this. But i think its fixed now so its all good :)

The alpha changes the boot.img from what I understand and its not exactly the same as CM9. Do what paradoxx says and it should be alright. :)

it was mentioned in the previous pages that the CWM recovery isn't present. I actually already had the recovery (iI didn't flash it separately) and used that recovery to restore my nandroid backup as well. The recovery was a CWM 5, i don't remember the version exactly though..:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] bpear96:
If this bricks your phone, and you cant boot or get kernel panic. AT YOUR OWN RISK try re partitioning and flashing a stock sammy rom in ODIN. This is what i did and it worked

You need to download this http://hotfile.com/dl/146321681/7a0247f/I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1_OXA.zip.html in odin

CODE_I9100 goes in PDA GT-I9100-CSC-Multi goes in CSC and MODEM_I9100 goes in Phone the .pit file goes in PIT in ODIN then hit start

To easily root and return to CM9(if you want) flash this http://codeworkx.de/download/cyanogenmod/galaxys2/cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxys2.tar.md5 in ODIN. That will flash CM9 and CWMR

I got it to boot on my SII, i also am affected by this BrickBug that is caused by flashing roms, but flashing this didn't brick.

So far the rom is very fluid

for getting some libs to work with the system, using cm linker that comes with CM7/9. It might help getting wireless, calls, sms to work.

I like the rom so far despite the fact that nothing works.

OP should say in, "it is possible that this could brick your phone"

I would love having JB on my S2, for now i keep on following this great topic and won't flash it yet, hardly anything works ok so I'll wait for a while.

Can't realy understand people complaining about this alpha, that things don't work an that there phone is bricked, warnings are all over this topic.

As much as I would like JB flashed on my S2 the start of this topic has warned me enough to keep away from it for a while.

Guess the dev will get it working soon so I'll be paitent and wait for a stable release.

Thanks for your great effords, keep up the good work.
