SGS2 stuck in orange triangle

Help!! My SGS2 is stuck on a screen with an orange triangle and excmamation mark between a cellphone and computer after a ROM flash attempt!
I can go to Downloading mode and Odin can detect my smartphone but i don't know what else to do...
Flash a full (different to whatever you were trying) ROM, problem solved.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yep, that's just a soft brick.
since you can access DL mode, just reflash with odin and normally problem solved
Haaa, thx all i fixed it! ^^
It took me 5 hours to find out what i had to do and find the stock Firmware tho...
But all fine now
Hello,
I've got the same problem but it seems I can't go into download mode. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
My SGS2 is not rooted and was on Android 2.3.3. Kies told me there was an update available to android 2.3.4 so I went for it.
But I'm really disappointed, now my phone is completety stuck on this screen with the phone...orange triangle with exclamation mark (warning)...PC.
EDIT : Samsung Kies proposes to do an emergency recovery, but in the end it also fails.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot before upgrading. See attachment.
Please help me.
kind regards,
Andrew

If your phone is not rooted, you still have your warranty, bring it back to the shop and ask for a new one
I bought it an amazon. But I'd prefer to have a solution right now instead of having to complain.
I continued my quest on the net... Apparently, a usb jig might take me out of this screen and back to the download mode. Can somebody confirm this?

One minus Did you follow the Kies recovery instructions .
One turn off and remove battery for a short period .
Two turn on
Three try recovery mode
Four try download mode ..
Five yes USB jig may enable you to get to download mode and from that you can flash a stock Samsung rom .
Six service centre

Thanks JJEgan. I'll try once more and let you know. Assuming that I am able to get in download mode, why should I use a stock kernel and not the normal firmware I had before? Sorry about my question, but this is all new for me.
A USB Jig should be standard equipment for anybody who flashes their Galaxy phone, IMO.

Download Odin, download stock ROM, use Windows Task Manager to kill any Kies-related processes. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash using Odin. Do not tick repartition and do not use the PIT file if the stock ROM comes with one.
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed to bring my SGS2 alive again step by step after that Kies broke it during the android upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4... Moreover, I am in the official 2.3.4 version now without using Kies!! ;-) Here's my story:
In the end, I was able leave the screen with the "phone..orange warning triangle..computer". and I was able to go in download mode without a usb jig. You have to press the 3 keys (volume down, home, and power on) quite a few seconds without releasing them. And then the download warning menu appears, press volume up to confirm that you want go go in download mode. And I was in "download mode'. Anyway, I will buy a jig ;-)
I tried once more the emergency recovery with samsung Kies without success. Failed.
Then with Odin I had problem. It was stuck at step "setup connection". Kies was not running and was not visible in the system tray. Though in the task manager, I still had 2 Kies* processes. Kiestrayagent.exe and another one starting with Kies and 4 letters (sorry I didn't write it down). I killed both processes. One step further... Then Odin was stuck on step complete(write) operation failed. Never found why. I tried several times, battery in and out again, without success. This was on a Win7 32bit. Latest Kies version.
In the end I installed Odin on another PC Win7 64bits. I had to install Kies also on it otherwise Win7 says "no driver found" when you plug in the usb cable of the SGS2. And on this computer, flashing with Odin worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all people who helped me + also thanks to this super forum where I could find the official firmware I needed after that Kies broke down my phone.

[Q] I9100G Screen of Death

Hello gurus,
I am stupid.
I did not backup my Firmware.
I did not even look at what version it is...
Was so in a hurry to install Litening Rom 6.1
Now I have a pb.
Flashed via ODIN failed.
now I get Screen of death.
I can connect to ODIN and it recognizes the phone.
What do I need to flash ?
I tried few things... but didn't work.
I even tried to play around with the files... and found that the
problem is that sbl.bin and boot.bin seem to be protected...
whenever they are present in the file I am flashing ,I get an failed.
But when I remove those 2 files from the tar file , then It flashes normally , no error... but the phone does not boot... gets stuck at the Samsung I9100G writing screen.
Please help.. the phone is not mine ! It is a friend's ! Silly me right ?
Thanks for your help.
Can you enter to download mod ?
1. Take off the battery during 5 minutes
2. Your phone will be disconnected at your computer
3. Download the driver of your phone and install it
4. Take ON your phone and try to enter to the download MOD
5. Now you can connect your phone to Odin and normaly your computer recognize your phone
it worked for me and i hope it will be the same for you.
My problem is what firmware I should install !!!!
the PC recognizes the Phone already !!
Stock firmware for i1900 G is what you require .
jje
And I can find this where please ?
where do you live ?
Have you disconnected your phone at your computer before try to enter in download mod ?
Try that, take off the battery and press Volume down and Home, now plug the battery.
Normaly you enter to download mod.

Make sure you put your phone in download mode, and also Samsung USB Drivers installed on your PC. Try other USB cable if it did'nt work. Redownload the firmware, maybe it is a corrupted file
If you can boot into recovery then format data and cache, that might make the phone bootable again. If that doesn't help then boot into download mode as above and flash the correct stock rom via odin.
If it won't boot into download then you have a hard brick, service centre repair required.

Does anyone know how to run triangle away on SGS 3 without downloading additional data? The point is that I bricked my device, somehow lost IMEI and put phone into factory mode, wifi doesn't work, the same goes for mobile networking. I'd like to give it back to where I bought it from but in Odin mode you can see that the custom binary download is yes (10 counts). In other words I'd appreciate it if you told me what to do to return the device and get it fixed or replaced. Thank you.

sorry mate, I'm desperate. It can't be done without mobile networking or wi-fi because it claims it needs some additional data.

Do not spam the forums, I have deleted your posts. Did it ever cross your mind that the best way to get an answer would be to create your own thread in the Q&A forum and give as much detail in there as you can? If it didn't cross your mind then I would suggest doing it.

Galaxy s3 bricked ?

Hii everyone.
This morning, I was trying to use my galaxy s3 international version but the phones was turned off.
I tried to turn it on, access download mode or even recovery mode : I GOT NOTHING :crying:
The phone cannot even be charged anymore.
Do you think I should use a usb jig to try to force download mode then flash via odin ?
Help please :crying::crying::crying:
you can try a jig, but it probably won't help. try a different battery first.
what firmware were you on? when have you last updated it?
I was actually running a custom ROM and before that i didn't do any updates from 2 months ago .

One read the SDS thread in General section .
|Two if you want try a USB Jig .
Needs a service centre though a JTag repair may be cheaper .
