[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
OK. Sticker under the battery, what does it say ? Honestly, it sounds like the NAND is stuffed. You've tried everything anyone normally would to fix this & it ain't happening, so unless you're not doing something right (which could be very minor & impossible for anyone here to pickup as we're not there with you), or perhaps you did something else relatively minor tho obviously important before the phone borked that's stopping it from accepting a flash or stopping you from factory resetting it.

It's not the MMC bug. That bug only occurs on certain stock kernels & only occurs if you do a wipe while running that kernel.

The following can't hurt & I suggest you do all of them (even the ones you've already tried):-

*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.

*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Check & kill them if they are.

*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.

*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)

*Try different versions of Odin (I've got 3; search on here/Google)

*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.

*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download (or you can check the MD5 sum if you have it, there are lots of Windows apps that can do this, like M5Summer). If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection at a different location, when I borked my phone after I got it, this is the problem I had. Every ROM I downloaded from home ended up corrupted/with missing files & this was causing flashes to fail. I highly recommend you give this a try given the point where your flashes are failing in Odin.

*Run Windoze Update.

If it still doesn't work after trying every step, try a different PC. And if it doesn't work first go on another PC, go through all of the steps on a 2nd PC. Still doesn't work ? Service centre.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

I did have stock 4.0.4 and I did run a wipe before it all got screwed, which is why I think there is a possibility it is the mmc bug.

Under the phone, it says Model: GT-I9100

SSN: -I9100GSMH
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Ahhh OK. In that case, try all those steps with your PC and a 2nd one if necessary & definitely try downloading a rom with a different internet connection and testing it/checking the MD5 sum after you've downloaded it to rule out corruption of the rom package, which does cause a flash to barf at the 'NAND write start/data.img' stage. If you're lucky, this might be the problem.

If those doesn't work, hopefully somebody else other than myself & Gaston can come up with some possible solutions for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
My model is I9100 right ? Not I9100G.

I don't think the file are corrupted because when I try to open the archive of the stock rom from my carrier (1 file .tar.MD5) with winrar, it says no error, and Odin check the MD5 and sees no error.

Will try from a second PC/different cable again (I have tried already).

My stock rom can be flashed without error through Odin, it doesn't seem to try to flash Data though.

But when it restarts it stays on the animated boot logo.

Do I need to flash something else first ? Like a different kernel or bootloader...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep. The GSMH bit simply means the phone is for use on GSM networks.

The stock rom package has a stock kernel in it, and that gets flashed with everything else. You shouldn't have to flash another separate kernel. But now that we're getting to the bottom of the barrel so far as ideas are concerned, you could try flashing some custom kernels that work with the Android version of the stock rom you've flashed (can't hurt, put it that way).

OK, if you've checked the downloaded package with WinRar & it comes up OK then that isn't the issue.

Doubt it would be a bootloader issue, but like trying kernels, I guess flashing one can only make your phone not boot, which it isn't anyway. Just be sure to flash one that you know would normally work with the rom/Android version you've flashed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
I have tried another cable on another PC, tried to flash the recovery rom from the bootloop thread mentionned earlier and it stayed stuck on the Data part during flash, I let Odin run for 20 minutes and no change.

It stays stuck and the phone too with no change regarding the progression bar.

Regarding kernel, I have tried siyah, philz, and the one from the bootloop thread.

I have also tried to restore my nandroid backup but same thing, it remains on the animated boot logo.

Don't know what else to try.

What about pit file ? Do you have a good one ? Can it fix the /data issue ?

Could it be the mmc bug ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Man, that device of yours is one tough nut.

As long as you can get to download mode, you can keep on trying (and re-trying) everything we wen't thru in this thread for the weekend. If tomorrow night you are still stucked, you might wanna consider taking it to the service center.

Anyway, you got 15 hours to go, be patient and remain calm, you're not bricked yet.

Ok, when scanning from start, it stops after 2046 MiB = 2146 MB -> ok

2047 MiB = 2147 MB...

And for end, it stops after 3073 MiB = 3223 MB -> ok

3072 MiB = 3222 MB...

Does it mean if I repartition, I'll lose 1GB ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
MiB: Men In Black?

well...if it gets your device to work...isn't 1 GB a good price?

I dunno about partitions, they scare the hell outta me; just like marsupials...they're fast....and they dodge, that's crazy.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Yeah that's about right. Follow hg42's guide. Then you should be able to flash a CM9/10 ROM and use Triangle away to reset counter. If you want to claim warranty, you will need to reflash original PIT and remove traces of rooting/flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
Thanks guys,

I am going to wait for my JIG and try warranty first.

I will try to reset the counter, and install a rom from my carrier.

Does it matter if it is not the version that I had last ? (meaning, if I put 4.0.3 and I had 4.0.4)

One thing I'm worried beside the counter, is the boot logo. I used to have the carrier boot logo, but now even after flashing stock from carier, I have the Samsung logo.

Is it going to be a problem ?

Do you have any experience of how fast they will replace the phone ? And what are they going to check ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I don't want to put a dampener on things, but you need to realise that the jig is highly unlikely to work. It's a real longshot. But worth a try, nonetheless. I just don't want you to get your hopes up & then be really disappointed when it doesn't work.

As I've already said, forget about the flash counter, and forget about the boot logo. There isn't a single thing you can do about those now. All you can do is send it into Samsung/authorised repairer in the first instance, and see what they say. If they ask questions, the less you say the better, because the more you say/the more detailed you make your 'story', the more questions can possibly be asked. Keep it simple.

If they decide to make you pay for repair/replacement (which they're quite within their rights to do given you voided the warranty), ask them for a quote. Then you can compare the cost with having it JTAG'd (that's if it can be JTAG'd) or having the repair done by someone else, possibly more cheaply.

The experience on here over the past yr & a bit with people who weren't able to reset their flash counters before they sent it in varies. It's basically a toss of the coin, and depends on whether the person who looks at it/repairs it notices, cares or even checks that you've been messing with it. If they don't, you're set. If they do, you're paying.

You've got no chance of knowing that in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
Why do you think a JIG wouldn't help ?

It is supposed to reset the flash counter, at least that's what I've been told and that's what is in the description on amazon.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
A jig will reset the flash counter on a phone that isn't borked (notice the emphasis & understand why I emphasised this in light of your situation ?) and is running an 'older' bootloader that allows the jig to reset the the flash counter, and will sometimes boot a phone 'normally' (as in boot into Android as per usual) that otherwise won't boot normally.

In light of the condition your phone is currently in, and given numerous similar examples I've seen on here over the past year & a bit with the SGS2, I very much doubt a jig will either boot your phone or reset the flash counter.

But as **** sometimes does truly happen, you absolutely give the jig it a try if you're happy to wait however many days it's going to take for a jig to arrive as opposed to having your phone looked at/fixed immediately.

Now then, if/when the jig arrives & it doesn't work, you have three options. Option one is send it in to Samsung/authorised repairer as per my PP (and this should be the first thing you do regardless), option two is find a JTAG repairer & have them take a look at it, and option three is take it to local mobile repair shops & ask them to have a look at it/if they can fix it provide you with a quote.

If Samsung/authorised repairer decides to charge you for repair/replacement, then you go to options two and/or three. That way you can choose the cheapest (or maybe even the fastest if cost isn't an issue) option to have your phone repaired (obviously replacement isn't part of the deal with those two options).

you can always brick it on purpose; no boot animation nor flash counter.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
Hi guys,

so here are the news:

I received my jig, I flashed an old bootloader, and I was able to reset the counters. *HURRAY*

in DL mode, now it says:

no custom rom

Samsung official

count 0

and if I try to boot it, it stays on the very first screen/logo (Samsung GALAXY SII GT-9100), the non animated logo, stays on it for about 5 min then restart and goes back to the same very first logo. Is it good enough to claim warranty ?

The last rom I have flashed is an official one from my carrier, not the latest though... I think it is 2.3.6 and I had 4.0.4 before the whole thing got corrupted in the first place.

Does it matter warranty wise ?

Also, I still have the old bootloader that I have flashed from another thread of XDA.

Do I need to flash the 4.0.4 back ? What do you reckon is the safest to play here ?

Thanks guys for all your support !

I'm starting to see the light :)

PS: I still cannot access recovery mode... but DL mode is fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
I think you should go with the warranty claim. You can tell them that your device wen't off by itself when updating to ICS via Kies or OTA (since you are in GB).

They'll check your flash counter and see nothing.

And remember to keep it simple: you recieved an update notification, pressed OK, download begins, update starts and you never heard back from your device again, It just hangs on the power on boot.

WTF face helps too.

Good luck.

Hi,

From the last 2 weeks i have been facing a weird problem with my A57. When ever i am trying to select Wifi, my mobile switch offs. I have to remove the battery and reinsert the battery then again switch on the phone.

It is working fine with DATA Mode, but the only problem is with the Wifi. I have done factory reset but no use.

Is there any solution for my problem? Please let me know if i am not cleared in explaining.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmyX32:
If you did some mods of the system (kernel, ROM), try to revert to factory ones.

However, this seems to be a hardware problem to me ... the WiFi probably drains too much energy/causes the swtich-off.

You can try another battery as a first step.
