If your phone is still in warranty you can always return it to the shop, saying that you tried to turn it on one day and it failed.
Flash with Official ROM via Odin
Hi Sonycam
I unbricked mine using ODIN as Samsung denied assistance because of import.
I uploaded a screenshot in my other post.
There are all the Western European languages in this version.

If Odin can detect your phone then you should be able to flash your phone with it regardless what the screen looks like.
Can you help me how to do it? I have Samsung Galaxy Gio S-5660 GT
If you will turn my phone on, I promise to pay you.

Well you said Odin detects your phone still right? You should be able to find Odin flashable firmware for your phone and flash as usual.

If Odin detects your phone then there might be a chance to flash a new rom to your device.
Go to samfirmware.com and find an rom/firmware for your phone... Then download it and flash it using one package techinque in odin. If you need more help post your phone model, it might help for better reply ...

He did mention his phone model. Hasn't posted in 2 days so I'm hoping he fixed it.

Go to this link and get yourself a good rom/kenel that is for your region's device. Then try to flash it using one package option in ODIN in download mode.
You can also find a guide on flashing your rom @ samfirmware.com/guides.htm
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.

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.

omg thanks so much i managed to get in to download mode
How to solve that
I have an S2 Hercules T989... I tried upgrading it from 2.3.6 to 4.0 but when I flashed with Odin 3.18 it gave me that error message.
I have tried four or five times reflashing it, rebooting to download mode but still it stayed like that for 1 1/2 hours...
So, I got to visit another site, I couldnt remember that actually, but it talked about on how to upgrade S3 to latest version.
There, I downloaded the latest version of Odin, too, that's v4 I think, and when I tried again (first time with that version), it worked!
You don't need to actually redownload the file, but instead, try other odin versions, recommended to download and use the latest one coz it will be the safest way to upgrade your galaxy device. Hope this helps.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section but im trying to find someone in my area that has an unlock shop or is in possesion of a z3x/spt/riff/volcano box or similar.
I'm willing to travel anywhere in the UK and pay for someone to help me with my Galaxy S II (i9100) repair.

Why do you need a box to repair your i9100? What's wrong with it?
You can flash ROM's yourself using your USB cable via ODIN. If your phone is bricked, then you need to get a USB Jig to boot into Download mode and then flash a stock ROM.
If you're looking to unlock your phone, you can do it for free with Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock (Root needed).
