Hello everyone,
I cant post this problem in lyriquidperfections thread since this is my first post on xda so am not allowed to post in the development section.
Am trying to root Samsung Galaxy S2. Have followed the method given here to the letter by lyriquidperfection http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414 Am stuck on step 8 the phone is not rebooting and its stuck on "Downloading...Do not turn off the target!!"
Please have a look at my Odin screen in the attachment.
I think I'll have to switch off my phone now since by the time I get
any replies the battery will drain off.
Please help am stuck
EDIT: Sorry guys its my fault. The problem was that the insecure kernel which I had downloaded was not a complete file. Its file size is 8 mb whereas only 6.14 mb was downloaded. Extremely sorry for my silly mistake. Had become panicky after the screen got stuck hence posted here quickly.
Can you explain your problem in more detail. stuck at step 8? Isn't that click start?

Hi calexus1182,
The problem is solved. Have mentioned the mistake in the edit above.I've successfully rooted my Galaxy S2 using the above method. Now the next step
is to take the backup of the ROM and then install a custom ROM.
Thanks for your interest buddy
Cheers

Hello all,
This has been a while ago for me so I'm a bit rusty now.
I've got a problem, in my eyes a big problem, so every help will be appreciated!
My phone: Samsung galaxy S2
SW: android 2.3.5-2.3.6
sync prog: KIES
What did I do:
I wanted to update my phone (all official) to version 2.3.6.
I read that it could fix some problems if I give it a factory reset.
Well that went good (yes, yes everything saved and backup).
Normal progress first let the PC do all the work, and when it says its done, disconnect and reboot.
Now the screen is frozen at the welcome screen.. "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100"
I have absolutely no idea how I can fix this.
When I wanted to hard reset it again I saw this:
Can't access to '/system/csc/XEU/system/'
I searched it here and found this topic.
Almost everyone there says its no problem.
So ok no problem.
But how to fix the frozen welcome screen?
I've seen this topic and it seems his problem is the same like me. But can I do this to, or is my problem different?
I'll thank you so much for your help!
Greet,
Leek.
Can anyone tell me that I'm one the right path?
I think I got the same problem like user:'23207' in this topic.
I want to download ODIN and follow this post, but is this possible for my problem, or will I make it worse?
Please give me an answer.
Greets,
Leek.
ODIN will probably work, It worked on my gf's crashed Galaxy Ace.
Just put phone in download mode again and flash stock firmware.
Trying right now.
I'm going to eat in a couple of minutes so I'll see what happened after I'm back.
edit:
Well 1 min later... my screen of my PC frozes and the first box in Odin turned red and it says FAIL!
Question.
The package I downloaded contains:
- CODE_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
- EFS_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
- GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXXKDD.tar.md5
- KERNEL_I9100XWKDF_CL170898_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
- MODEM_I9100XXKDJ_REV_02_CL996627.tar.md5
Why isn't there a mention about .md5 in this post??
edit:
Never mind... found the explanation in the main post..
I used Odin3 V1.85
Is this the right version for me?
Samsung galaxy S2 I9100
I think I found out why it crashed, you hear from me after dinner.
Greet,
Leek.
I just couldent eat, I wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
Well it works great!
BUT ehm.. its Germen, I'm dutch so.. does anybody have a
Android 2.3.6 dutch version from the galaxy S2 for me?

hi thanks for the reply but i think i figured it out. i was looking in other posts and stuff about the same problem and or ones about how to root and i think i just used a out of date kernel thing. because i found the same kerrnel i used that messed up my cell but the other one i found was a newer version i tihnk. so i downloaded that and did the thing with odin and yah it rebooted perfectly and from what i see my cell is rooted.
Good news then

I bet the yellow triangle gets on your nerves next ha! i found using a jig was the best way and safest to get rid of the triangle,but there is software to get rid i think it is by chainfire.
Galaxy S2 i9100 wont reboot after rooting
Hi There,
I have exactly the same problem. I did try to root and followed the instructions given in galaxys2root dot com.
Followed the link "ww.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/" . ( One 'W' is intentionally missing in the referred link as a spoof. I am a new user with less than 10 posts so I am not allowed to paste a working link. Sorry) I went through the video first and followed all instructions threadbare.
Odin returned a green success message too. but the phone would not wake up beyond the Samsung Boot logo for S2. I was on ICS version 4.0.X prior to the ilflated root and my phone version is GT-I9100G.
You must excuse me, I did not note down my previous baseband version and similar other details in the about phone. I bought the phone from a Hongkong based ebay vendor and I live in Australia.
I am hoping i have not lost completely my phone and data. I have written too that web site too. Could you please help as soon as possible. I am without a phone.
thanks heaps in advance,
guppeey

Hey guys im that standard new guy, that needs help.
I have a Galaxy s2 SGH-I777 or the GT-i9100 Not 100% sure. I currently have a bricked (or what i believe to be a bricked phone) not sure. It pops up with the start up screen (SAMSUNG GALAXY S II GT-I9100 with the yellow yield sign with exclamation mark in the middle). So im not sure what phone i have but i just want it to work again. I understand i can not provide alot of info due to not being about to look up its info. I believe i loaded the wrong CWM on it and cannot find the right one. Any help is appreciated thanks again.

you should post it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1148
and i think you have a bootloop if u did a nandroid u can restore it back
tell us which kernel u have flashed??...nd yes u have flashed a wrong kernel most probably.
AW: [Q] Galaxy s2 NEED MAJOR HELP.
hey!
as your bootscreen says i9100, you seem to have that version. to be sure, you can check the sticker under your battery.
what you have is called a bootloop. it is solvable. search for bootloop or flash a rom with odin. use the search function, there are quite a lot of guides around.
