[Galaxy S II Android Development] wouterrobot:
Oke My phone doesn't get recognized atm at all with ODIN. As The.ganster asked I will explain all the steps I took after my phone got bricked.

I saw that I couldn't get into recovery and that the only option I had was to get into download mode and that worked.

1. I started with doing this:

ODIN method (requires PC)

This method requires ODIN to be installed on your computer. You will be connecting your phone to the computer which may or may not be a problem for some users.

Put your phone into download mode (Power key, home button, Volume Down button)

Connect your phone to your PC

Open ODIN. Make sure that it detects your device. If it doesn't, check if you have the right drivers installed and if the usb cable/port is damaged

Download ODIN-flashable CM12.1 kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/show...56&postcount=4 Don't worry if it isn't CM13 kernel, you will have to reflash CM13 anyway! If you don't know which one to choose, the TWRP CM12.1 kernel is fine.

Select the CM12.1 kernel as PDA (or AP)

Make sure you untick auto-reboot

Start the flash.

Once flash is successful, disconnect your phone from your PC. Remove your phone battery, then reinsert it.

Get into recovery mode (Volume Up, Power Key, Home button)

Repeat CM13 flashing guide above without any backup. (source http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/guide-want-to-update-to-cm13-read-t3313978)

But I still couldn't get into recovery so I thought this is probably not the whole twrp but just a extension so I follow what The.ganster told me on a pm:

On top of the link to IsoRec-Recoveries in the linked IsoRec thread there is also meanwhile an official (IsoRec) TWRP-Recovery here(link http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-t3330457).

2: I did the official twrp recovery install with Heimdallsuite and note that didn't work either but I will explain what didn't work:

I started with the zadig.exe as explained in the guide there, and libusb0 was installed successfully, after that I opened heimdall-frontend to make a pit file. I made the pit file and after that I used the pit file together with the image for twrp and that didn't work......... The only thing it did was this :

It didnt reboot (what it should do) and I still cant get into recovery.

It was this moment I got really tilted and I was like fck this I am going with odin and work from there. But Odin didn't recognize my phone anymore.

So I can get into download mode, my zadig driver **** is : libusb0(v1.0.2.0), and I cant do anymore.

Ty in advance!
