Pull out battery, wait a while, put battery back in, boot into download mode and flash firmware with Odin.

You didn't accidentaly flash with .pit file?
Or maybe you flashed a ROM for SGS1?
If so, you might need a JTAG kit to unbrick it. There are some services that does it for you though.

Just reflash to original firmware KF1 also cannot

Yo need to press volume down + power + home.Not two buttons but three.same goes for download mode.power+volume down+ home.You said you pushed only two keys.

You phone is not dead. It happened with me when I tried to update the firmware via Kies, Kies died mid-way giving me that screen.
Turn off the phone by pressing the power button for like 7-8 seconds, then start in download mode as stated above by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power key.
Get the firmware and flash it using Odin.

[Q] Help Needed for a complete NOOB

Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!
Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it. Things that are wrong with it - when you turn the phone on it just comes up with samsung Galaxy S2 gt-19100 with a yellow triangle under it, it wont go any further. I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this.
Thanks
1). Check under battery for exact model number
2). Download a stock ROM for the model you find
3). [optional but recommended] check the battery level and if necessary charge in another phone to make sure it's not going to die while doing the next step
4). Flash a stock ROM via Odin
5). If it doesn't boot, go to recovery and factory reset

Hi, thanks for ur reply Oinky. Where would i find a stock rom? I am completely new to this sorry, and under Model, it just says GT-19100, is the bit below anything to do with it aswell, SSN: -19100GSMH? Also at the min i cant get into recovery to do a factory reset? Again sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the reply
You can find stock ROMs http://www.samfirmware.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, the latter having a tutorial too.
Are you sure you can't get into recovery? Your first post made me think you were getting into download mode and thinking that was recovery. Vol Up + Home + Power (from off)

Hi, sorry for confusing, when i hold vol up home and power it dosnt do anything, just turns the phone on, well to the screen it wont go past! Also how do i no which stock rom to choose? what letters should i be looking for?
I think you're still doing it wrong then, as I don't think there even exists a kernel for this phone which doesn't have recovery. Hold volume up and home, then also hold power for about five seconds.
Regarding stock ROM, just pick the latest for your region (presumably XEU if by o2 you mean UK o2).

Flashing literally any I9100 kernel, be that stock or custom would still have recovery. I suspect the device is much worse off than first realised.
Once you flash the stock firmware the phone will boot up normally again.
Any firmware will work.
any ideas how i would fix a handset that is alot worse than 1st expected??

Follow the Odin method and you will be fine. As long as you have Kies closed (This includes the 3 kies apps that run in task manager!) there will be no problems.
Hopefully you will get a bargin on a new smartphone.
Well that didnt go well, it fails with odin3 after about 5 seconds, Should i just give up?
What error messages if any do you get? Screenshots or logs would help.

My Galaxy S2 blocked on boot

I wanted to install a new rom,I reboot my phone and I installed something what I found on my micro SD,I confused something with the file of new rom,and now it doesn't start, only what I see after 1 hour is the image of boot (Samsung Galaxy S II, like that image http://www.gophoto.it/view.php?i=htt...ootingsgs5.jpg)
What can I do to start my android ?
Sorry for my little english
it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.
about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin
take your battery out, put it back
hold:
volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode
reflash your rom, kernel and stuff
if nothing works download odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode
from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.
post with more details next time.

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.
with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.
if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u
Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).
if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.
Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..

Your problem sounds similar to this one. I assume when you say 'blank screen' that the screen is powered on?
Power off the phone, hold down VolUp + VolDown + Power for 4 to 5 seconds. Then release ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Now press Volume Up. Now hopefully you will be in download mode even if you can't see that you are. If it doesn't work try it again a couple of times. The reason that you have to press Volume Up is that a warning screen is actually displayed before the phone lets you into download mode.
The phone will give you no other indication that its in download mode and won't 'recognise Odin' when not in download mode. Make sure you have Samsung USB drivers (comes with Samsung Kies) installed on your PC.
Oh yeah and by the way the thread I've linked to suggests you have to reflash the bootloader to fix the 'blank screen' problem.

Cannot reboot or go into download mode

I am using i9300 with stock rom (rooted with cf auto root). Everything is fine for months. Starting few days ago, tried reboot but the phone switch off and did not reboot. Tried going into download mode by vol down + home + power but it gave no respond. other functions are doing fine. what's wrong? thx.
Reads like possible SDS and you need a new motherboard .
See previous new motherboard posts for prices and SDS thread in general section .

Samsung Galaxy S3 not booting up, keeps restarting showing ”Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-1930

My Samsung S3 is stuck! It keeps restarting!
It doesn't reach the enter pincode, but keeps restarting showing the "Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300" screen. Then cycles starts again.
Here are the things I've tried:
I have already removed battery, put back in; still the same result.
I have also tried to hard-reset, but it just turns off and restarts.
Same result when trying VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER BUTTON; goes back to restarting and the Samsung S3 screen.
It was working fine last night, but when I left to do something, I came back and found it restarting over and over again. Didn't update any apps.

Has anyone made a tool/application that you install on your PC that forces the phone to boot into download mode? It would be great if anyone can come up with that especially for issues like this where the is stuck in a perpetual boot loop and you can't even go into recovery or download mode.
!!!! I found the fix for this!!!
I was experiencing the same problem. The quick easy fix for this is to do the following thing. Take the motherboard of the phone out and clear the power button by pressing it several times. Make sure it is not stuck. Then, put the motherboard back and power on the phone. The problem should be gone.
mine doing same thing but i can get in download mode thats all though
