Hey guy's I just got a fresh gs 2 today. I'm very eager to flash a custom rom, but when I connect the phone to the computer in download mode odin doesn't detect it. I have drivers installed, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help. I'm not new to android I moved up from a captivate, and I never had this much trouble.
Try installing Samsung Kies on your computer. I had the same problem but when I did this and connected my phone in download mode, the drivers installed successfully and I was able to flash.
ok I'll try this. thanks for the quick response.
Got it to work. Thanks Buddy.
HI all members and fellow S2 experts.
I am quite new to android flashing and rooting.. and i have run into a problem and i really really need your help.Here is the story ....
I have stock rom 2.3.5 and cynagonmod7 in my phone.One day i made back up of my stock rom and went to recovery mode and changed to cynagon mod... I used cynagon for few days than made back up of it so that i can go back to stock rom.So i did back up it went fine.than i went to restore my stock rom and thats where the problem started.It didnt let me go back.
My phone does not turn on now.
When i try it just stays on the main screen where it says samsung galaxy s2 bla bla and that yellow triangle (indicating its rooted).
It does not go to recovery mode.
Once on charge it shows me the cell which appears when you charge your phone whilst it being off,it just shows me a empty cell and within that cell that rounded circle shaped icon not moving just as an icon.
And it lets me go to download mode but odin3-v1.85 does not recognise any device being connected or anything....
So basically i am doomed
I have tried taking battery out all sort of different combinations to reboot go to recovery mode all that but its just not happening and in download mode Odin does not detect my phone.
So i really dont know what to do.So can you please please please help and guide me how to get my phone back to life i really need to
Detailed answers would really help.Thanks for reading and please help me out.If any queries you can ask me.
Did you install the sg2 drivers in your computer? (you do this by installing the kies soft)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes i did installed all the driver.But at the moment i am on another laptop which does not have kies or any other driver for s2 but it still is not recognised..Laptop recognises something being connected to usb but it actually does not recognise any device or shows anything.
try to install kies it might be a driver issue

I HAVE DONE IT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Thanks alot guys it is exactly as you said.Installed kies in friends laptop went in download mode it installed the driver and than odin recognised the phone and put 2.3.5 again and done its working yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
You guys are star.THanks alot to all......
1- Try charging your phone for an hour or so (Just in case).
2- On that second laptop that recognizes something been connected to it, go to device manager and if you see any unknown usb device, delete it. Unplug your phone and plug it again (in download mode).
Good luck I hope this works
EDIT:
Glad to see you're up and running
help needed
i have the same problem
samsung galaxy s2
firmware = GINGERBREAD.BZKJ2
with the odin way i root it and it stated there PASS
but my phone just could not reboot after all
i tried the above suggestions, but it is still the same
when in download mode and i connected to computer, the odin3 shown ID:COM
experts, pls i got no idea on this, i tried whatever i can do.
Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok i will try that and get back to you
Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

Hmmm strange. When you're in download mode and you plug into Odin what does it say?
Edit: what version of windows do you have?

Hi friends..
I bought SGSIII yesterday and started to exploring it's options since then.. As it's my first Android I am using some time to getting use to it..
Now here comes my two problems.
1. I am using a wifi router at my house and at first try I was able to connect to it easily.., but since then I am not able to connect again to the same connection. It finds it, tried to connect but then shows saved and then start searching again and couldn't connect it again. I tried factory settings once and the result is still same, can't connect to my wifi again.
2. I tried to root it with both Chainfire tool as well as with SGSIII kit provided here. Both options use ODIN and it's the main problem here.
Once I set my device in Download mode, ODIN doesn't recognize it thus doesn't show anything as detected device and thus I can't go ahead and flash the rooted image thus .tar file .. I am on Windows 8, I tried Windows 7 too but the result is same..
Can anyone suggest me what should I do next.
Thanks..

1) I can't seem to get what the issue with Wifi is but someone might be able to help you out.
2) Seems like you dont have the proper drivers for the device installed. The easiest way to solve this is to download KIES and install it. This will help you get all the necessary drivers and hopefully after that, ODIN should be able to detect the phone. Thats pretty much what I did.

For problem 1.
Call *#0011#
Choose wifi
Turn Power saving mode off.
This is a known problem with some s3's. Including mine. Best to flash cm9 and follow steps above. Its not an exact solution. But is far better than what I was experiencing!

Hmm.., so it seems that this Wifi problem is pretty known one and most of the users facing this.. Well that's not good.. It's still not working even after disabling wifi power saving option.. Will try to restart my router to see if that will help.
@circuit89
My phone connects pretty easily with my PC when it's ON., problem starts when I put it under Download mode and then try to connect it to ODIN..
Any more suggestions.. Thanks for your replies though.
Restarted my router and wifi seems to be working fine again.. Well I hope it will keep working else I would know that why this is happening. Thanks for your suggestions.. Now I am just more concerned about ODIN problem coz I need to root my device and that's much needed issue.. Thanks.

Yup, installing KIES should help .When you connect the phone, usually the drivers required for mass storage are automatically installed. Different drivers are needed to get the PC to recognize the phone when it is download mode.
I guess they are ADB related drivers and I saw a prompt for that while drivers were installing but still to be sure I am installing it to see if that would help. Thanks, will notify the result here soon..
Nope, didn't help.. Installed Samsung Kies latest version too but still the same result..

It seems to be a unique problem, then. I saw this thread and tried uninstalling all my samsung drivers. I let Kies run in the background and connected my phone in download mode when Odin was running. All drivers got successfully reinstalled. Check whether Samsung USB Drivers are installed when you install Kies. Sometimes, it skips those due to errors. I've encountered that once or so.

Not true a few only have this issue .

What happens with Odin ???
Have you replaced Odin with another .

Unticked USB debugging sounds like the problem.

@JJEgan
Yes, I tried with two different ODIN versions..
@ tommy2601
Yes, I did..
@slking1989
It's not..
I will try to remove all drivers .. then install KIES and then put my phone under download mode to see whether it will install all drivers then.. Will update later how it goes.
Ok.. Installed Windows 7 on my PC just to be sure that Windows 8 is not the culprit.., turned out it is not.. It's not working on Windows 7 too..
One thing to specify here is that when phone is on and if I connect it to my PC, ODIN recognize it and ID part turns to blue but not when I put it under Download mode.. so anymore suggestions friends as this is a nightmare to use it without root..
First, get the driver pack from the forum.
Go to the device manager on the computer when the phone is in Download mode and search it (should have a yellow triangle). Then right-click, Update driver.
Let it search on your computer, it should find and activate it within a few seconds

nicesoni_ash, good to see you're here from dailymobile!
This might sound daft but have you tried another cable?
I was getting problems using the cable that came with my phone, which had an HTC sticker on it for some reason.
Switched to the old cable from my N8 and it worked!
Just a heads up.....note that before flashing with Odin ensure kies is closed in sys tray or it may interrupt flashing process

On my system, I could never get the Kies icon to show up in the system tray, however it is running in the background. He might need to kill the Kies processes from Task Manager.
Hi
i was installing a stock rom last night and I got the Firmware Upgrade encountered....
The phone wont boot into recovery, it will how ever go into download mode but odin will not detect it no matter what I do
Tried every set of drivers I could find, no luck.
I am on windows 7 64 bit.
Is the phone bricked, it shows no binary count in download, would it be covered under warranty?
Really need to get my phone back if anyone can help, I have tried everything at this stage, I think
Thanks
Did you already installed the Kies software? It will install the Galaxy S2 drivers, maybe that is the problem. If it really doesn't work, try another computer with the Kies functioning!

dont forget that you need to start odin before you plug the phone in, if you can get into download mode then it's not bricked

Done that mate, thats the frustrating part, I can get into DL and know what to do but on three computers, I cant get it to work and ODIN always worked for me. I have had at least 300 roms on this phone but being stuck in DL mode sucks when I cant get progress, even returning to stock and using the factory tar files. I cant get any furhter than DL screen thanks for your help
