Can you get it back into Download mode so you can re-flash firmware?
Why did you flash the pit in the first place? (All tutorials tell you not to do this)
If you cant get it to boot into anything (download or recovery) then I don't know if its possible to restore it...
You might also want to try taking the battery out and putting it back in again if you havent already

You install the wrong pit file .?????
What instructions are you following .

It is possible to repartition but you would need the proper set of files that support it.
If i'm right (not sure though) you can do it with a set that contain the "_user_low_ship" in the pda name.
The download on samfirmware of the I9100XWKF1 does have this, containing odin 1.85, a 3 set for pda, modem and csc, and pit file.

Thats a partition and ROM for the original galaxy S...
Can you get back to download to flash one for the GSII?
You can download the .PIT from here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm
Also update Odin to 1.83

It's useless now because the phone is dead. I can't enter download or recovery mode. I can't turn it on or charge it...
What can I do now ? I guess it's not possible to be completely broken

Send it for a repair and hope it won't be a too costly one or the repair guys cannot turn it on either to find out you tried to flash a SGS firmware on it. Also Odin is now going in version 1.8x so you should update your flashing software too.

Someone from another board told me to try with an USB JIG to start in download mode... Do you guy think it could work this way since I can't turn on my phone in any way ?

Yes you can use a jig check this out

The JIGs are like £4 on ebay, so its worth a try, and if it doesnt work then you can sell it on or something.

USB jig any Odin should work flash stock firmware but follow instructions to the letter and read what you are doing first .
jjue

Good luck with the jig hopefully it will work and you can get your phone working again.
I am amazed it let you flash it as well being a totally different ROM!

Take the battery out then press and hold the power key for 10 seconds.
then press and hold home and vol down, do not let go of the keys while doing below
then insert the USB cable
then insert the battery
Does it now go into download mode and get recognised by the PC?

I went to a phone service and the guy there told me that the boot loader was completely erased, everything...there's nothing...

Just wondering why would you try flashing sgs pit and sgs firmware on sgs2.

If the bootloader is gone then you would need special equipement to repair.
Sorry to say this but if there is no way to load the bootloader from sdcard or something then you are screwed.

[Q] Need help to go back to stock rom

Hello everyone.
I need your help because my samsung galaxy s II has the "red screen of death" so I would need to get it back to stock rom before sending it to after sales service.
Can you help me finding the right rom and how to install it please ? At the moment I have CM7.1
Thanks in advance !

Download stock there. Its impossible to guess which specific one it came with unless you provide the information.

thx
Please anyone answer,
I downloaded I9100XWKJ2_I9100XEFKJ1_XEF.zip from sammobile, can you tell me how can I use it with Odin ?
Do I use this file for PDA, PHONE or CSC ?
Also what's the pit file ? When downloading Odin from sammobile, I have a s1_odin_20100512.pit, is it the right one ?
Thanks in advance !
this is en example use ur own file. (Proceed at your own risk. We are not liable if anything happens to your device by using this method. )
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

If you didn't use the pit file your phone may only be soft bricked. Read some more and you can fix it if you can get into download mode.

I'm guessing you went ahead and just tried flashing using that .pit file?
You should never use a firmware or kernel for a different device, but it is sometimes recoverable.
For future reference, NEVER EVER EVER use a .pit file for a different device...

Since you flashed using an S1 .pit file, your only hope now is JTag repair. Nothing else has any chance of bringing your device back to life.

Not sure why you're ignoring my posts. You can get it fixed (JTag) for like $50 US. (I don't know what that translates to in your local currency)

Are you able to get into recovery mode still? For download mode make sure your holding down the correct key combination to get into download mode. You can also try using a USB Download jig which you can get from here, which when plugged into the phone will force the phone into download mode. As a fair warning the download jig's don't usually work with newer model phones but for a couple bucks it's worth a try. Let me know if you still have questions.
Motherboard dead?
Sorry to invade this post. I would just like to have confirmation on my device and it's pretty similar to what is found here. The only way I can access download mode is by pressing Q+Power and then adding the battery. Odin connects to everything, I can even flash the firmware from Bell for my Galaxy gt-i5510M and it PASS. But I can't still power it up, is the motherboard or something similar dead?
Thanks

If your device can still access download mode and Odin can successfully connect to your device an flash the firmware your device's motherboard is not dead. Try re-flashing the firmware to your device and checking auto-reboot option in Odin this way when the firmware finishes flashing the device will automatically reboot and hopefully power on then.
Thanks for the fast answer, you've been answering 3 people back on this thread, impressive.
Unfortunately I made sure of that, the auto reboot was checked but it doesn't reboot the device. I wanted to put a screenshot but I didn't realize you need around 10 posts to be able to post outside links. I've been looking through xda for a while but never posting.
I'm used to adb, so Odin is a bit new I have to admit. I've put the ops file, callisto in this case, in the appropriate ops , and then the One Package file I got from samfirmware "I5510UGKC5_I5510BMCKC5_BMC". Is there something else I could flash? It wouldn't be like some other phones where I could put down a Custom Recovery, go back to stock, etc. ?

To clarify did you put the firmware in the correct slot in Odin (PDA slot in this case) when flashing? Also double check your flashing the correct firmware for your device, as that could also be part of the problem.
Well you figured some things that were wrong. I was putting it in the one package slot. So I tried in the PDA slot, but it said "Invalid Image Type". From the sticker inside the battery compartment, it does say it's the GT-I5510M, so the 551 from Bell Canada it seems. But it's not easy to find a firmware for it, and the only one I found is at sammobile. There's plenty others under GT-I5510, but they're all European.
Any idea what I could use instead? The full name of the firmware I have is: "I5510UGKC5_BMCKC5_HOMEDOWNLOAD_TEST.tar" or "I5510UGKC5_I5510BMCKC5_BMC.zip" for the zip.
Thanks a lot for following this.

You can try ignoring the "Invalid Image Type" error and trying to flash anyway just don't unplug your phone from Odin until it fully completes the process.

I did, but didn't work, I should have mentioned that. So the screen is still blank. But another driver got recognized and installed once the firmware was installed, Samsung com 3 if I remember well. I was hoping when I saw that!

With the new COM port being recognized try the procedure again and see if it has any different results.
sorry to interrupt you people.. but are you sure that it is a proper firmware file. because the pda file is .tar file. also, try entering the recovery mode and flashing a cwm recovery. then check if the system is mounted.
Sorry I've been away, meaning no phone and laptop with me. Thanks for the replies. I tried to flash again the firmware last week but nothing happened unfortunately.

I can't access recovery mode, only download mode by simultaneously putting the battery back in and pushing Q+Power. But I am wondering also if it could be a wrong firmware... Can I just flash a custom rom through Odin? Would that make up for it? Anything to having back in working order.

You may need to repartition. Not knowing the history of how your phone got to where it is now, I can't be sure. Can you give me a complete rundown of your issue?

How would I go about repartitioning the phone? I full wipe and flashed the new Shostock3 and it was doing fine. The next day when I woke up my phone had the sleep of death. The Galaxy S2 logo was stuck and I tried to get into recovery and it only showed half of the screen and was frozen. Now the screen says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Go to the Download Repository. The link is in my sig.
First, try flashing full stock Gingerbread. Use the download under the heading I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. This is the full distribution which contains the bootloaders. It doesn't matter whether you use the one-click downloader, or the tar.md5 file with Odin stand alone. If this flash completes, then you're recovered. Follow the guides to root and install a custom Gingerbread kernel, then flash back to SHOstock3 or whatever firmware you want.
If this flash does not complete, then download the I777 UCKH7 PIT and use that in Odin stand alone with the above tar.md5 file. Insert the tar in the PDA slot, the pit in the PIT slot, and check repartition, then flash.

Yes, I was hoping that the problem is not hardware, but it was a thought from the beginning, given the sequence of failure. Is the phone by chance still under warranty?
Let's don't give up yet, though.
Things to try, then try to flash the full firmware in between.
1. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the I777 secondary bootloader.
2. Use Odin stand alone to flash just the param.lfs.
Try the instructions in this post.

You can already get into download mode. I don't believe there is any difference in the download mode produced by a jig. A jig is really helpful if the wrong secondary bootloader was flashed by accident (or ignorance), and you can't get the phone into download mode any ohter way.

Same issue here, The phone's stuck on Nand flash in Odin. Had tried all recommendations suggested here... Any updates on the phone sent to mobiletech guys?

SGH-i527 stuck in recovery

I've got a SGH-i527 that when I turn it on it goes into Odin mode with the yellow triangle saying there was a problem with the upgrade and to connect it to Kies. Kies 3 will not work with it, and if I open Kies 2 it says it's connecting forever.
If I hold down volume and home button and start it up, and try to use Odin3 with AutoReboot and F. Reset Time check and flash I527UCUAMK2_I527ATTAMK2_I527UCUAMK2_HOME.tar.md5 it errors out and the device has SW REV CHECK FAIL : Fused 4 > Binary 3.
Someone help me out here?

Here's a little more info that might help. I tried booting the device without holding the buttons just a second ago, and this is what is on the screen.
Image size too large! W:1080, H:1920
display image fail
Secure Fail: Kernel
Ok, so I think I'm having issues because I don't have the right firmware.
From what I've been reading is that there isn't a firmware released for the i527 for AT&T correct? Or can someone point me in the direction for that ROM.

I haven't found anything. is there seriously no stock rom for this phone?
From what I'm gathering there is no TAR available for 442 so we can't flash in Odin. I don't know about you but I can't get to recovery either.

I have 2 megas in my shop right now that the same thing happened to them. Now they cannot be restored through ODIN and Kies says that the model/SN is incorrect.
I got the same problem as well tired to root it didn't work then tired to flash stock rom and I.got display image.to large can some give me right file for rogers Canada cell please and.what.do I need.checked.off in odin
I found these files by chance in the forums somewhere, i repair cellphones and was working on a work around for the replacement screens not working for the i527 At&t, these files will put fix your current softbrick and restore you back to 4.4.2
Using odin v3.09 place each file in each location Pit in Pit, BL in BL, etc. And let finish, everything should be back working once complete. I do not take credit for these files, as stated before i found these on XDA somewhere and cant remember exactly.
Pit
BL

Hey there, I had a similar problem, what I did was re-install the Samsung drivers and reboot the computer also I turned off my lock screen and activation on the phone. Between the two of those things it allowed ODIN to have success.

Even you have to put the phone in Download mode?
Edit: I tried the same and it still does not work :/
I tried again, but this time I ran the Odin as administrator. I passed thru NAND Write but in the end of all process it says FAIL and brick my phone.
I am trying to flash this file: G925IDVU1AOD1_G925IZTO1AOD1_G925IDVU1AOD1_HOME.tar.md5
You can see the issue attached:
you fail because you need a pit file..I can flash my normal firmware without a problem..but if I try a other one for example a provider one..it fails..for that we need the pit..and for that we need root..to extract it from the phone..and I don't won't to root ATM..
So how can I fix the device?
I tryng to use the Smart Switch PC but my device does not appear in the list to recovery emergency
I reinstalled the usb driver..

No, I just want to change the firmware version because the version that came with the phone does not have Portuguese as all language. The revice was 100% stock, just tried to flash another country firmware thru Odin and it has been bricked.

O.k the only way I know around this without finding your original firmware and flashing that, is to:
flash the firmware again, and wait until it fails again,
then hold vol down + power + home to get it to restart in to download mode again but keep odin open,
then flash CF autoroot .
then wait for the phone to reboot and it will install root then it will restart two more times on it own then should boot into the O.S.
(i take no responsibility if you mess up you device though but I have done this on more than one occasion and it always works for me)
I expect you could probably do this will another recovery(stock/twrp) instead of the CF autoroot one but have yet to try.
but you probably will be better off finding original firmware but you will not have Portuguese as you want.
Good luck with trying to fix your device

according to this you can use 925F version but I can not confirm my self as i don't have the device, If you don't mind rooting and tripping knox, I don't think you can do much more harm

I also went through this problem too, and this helped thank you
But also for another phone I had to flash using a different computer for this to work.

Maybe you can try each of the stock versions until you get the right one for your particular device. Also maybe a model number would help someone on here to identify what version you have, I don't know just throwing that out there.
My phone is G925i, and in the back says that it is made in Yateley, UK
Wich firmware you think I can try to flash?
I was trying the G925IDVU1AOD1_G925IZTO1AOD1_G925IDVU1AOD1 and then the phone has bee bricked.

I can't link to the page I go to because of my noob post count but its samsung-updates in google. There is a whole section with various G925i versions I'm sure you'll find it there.
