I flashed back to stock via odin and flashed that one pda on the bootloader thread that's supposed to fix the i9000 boot screen problem. Then I flashed the froyo stock rom found on the same thread. Now odin refuses to detect my phone :/ I also installed kies mini on my pc so that may be the problem.(it installed some drivers that may be interfering with DL mode and odin) also whenever I plug in download mode my pc tells me I need the device drivers so I'm thinking Im having a driver problem because of the bootloader on the phone(similar to the miui and cm7 driver problems.)

2) restart the computer
3) install kies

yes i kno wrong section but ive search all galaxy s phone q & a sections and haven't found anything (yes im aware this is the dev section)
i used odin to flash eugene froyo rom
then i tried to flash back to jfd but odin failed
then i tried to flash ji6 and odin failed
after a couple of tries i restarted my pc and my phone
i plugged my phone in while download mode and my pc no longer recognizes it neither does odin.
i have:
reinstalled drivers
different pc's
different usb cables
and still no luck..and now my phone is stuck in download mode..any ideas.
update: my pc now calls it gadget serial not unknown device but it still isnt recognized/installing
update: since my pc went from recognizing it as a unknown device to a gadget serial device after a few tries device manager lets me install the drivers..
so now i can use odin..odd case solved
I have searched forums for this but haven't found a real solution, so can you guys help me out please? Odin doesn't detect my phone (i think this happened after my friend put the "Speedmod" kernel on) and also i can't flash from recovery, that's the 2nd problem.
About phone:
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband version: I9100XXKG1
Kernel version: 2 6 35 7 hardcore speedmod #s2-k1-t8-300hz
Build number: GINGERBREAD XXKG1
I'm new to sgs2 from DHD, would you need usb debugging enabled to connect?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I have USB debugging enabled in Development section. I forgot to say - i can't flash from recovery because i get this message in recovery mode:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Can i now resolve this somehow? (and mostly the Odin not detecting it). Or put stock kernel back? I would like to then flash new mod - one with BLN.
Ah, you haven't flashed the ZImage from your rooted kernel, that's why signature related error is there.
Regards.
Thank you very much i will search and do this for verification issue. What about Odin not detecting it? Isn't that a bigger issue?

Can you connect your phone to Kies? If not, then drivers are not installed. And make sure that you are pressing the Vol Up in download mode to continue
I installed USB drivers again yesterday. Also, prior to Speedmod Odin did detect the phone in download mode. Maybe there lies the problem?
I can't connect to Kies and i installed drivers right from the start and then again yesterday.
Unplug, disable usb debugging, reconnect to pc, run kies

Have you tried diffrent USB exits on your computer? And make sure that kies not running when you start up Odin.
Ok, it now connects to Kies. I think There's a GT-I9100 text in the upper left corner. 3 minutes ago it was still "connecting ad infinitum". So i suppose it is connected now. Next step is to just download the latest firmware and flash it? Just to be sure, this won't brick the phone, because it is already rooted. I also made a backup with Titanium.
You can also do a nandroidbackup in CWM. Just go to back up and restore.
Did the backup in CWM (it said backup from 19 days ago, it was still connecting with Odin back then). It ran through the "yellow text", then i picked Reboot...
back in the system the About is still the same config,same kernel etc. I've put it into download mode, exited Kies ofcourse, ran Odin - and still nothing. Like the phone is not there.
Ok maybe i don't need Odin, for now, maybe i can do it (flash kernels, roms) through ROM Manager, but i do need to get rid of the E: failed to verify whole signature, otherwise i can't even chose "update.zip" (well i can choose it but it just stops midway - or 1/3way through)
Jesus guys sorry this is a lot for me...
Can you tell me please step by step how to:
first flash new firmware, kernel? Latest firmare or kernel? So i get into the mode where Odin will work again hopefully...
Are sure that kies not running? Because Odin doesn`t like kies. Go to your taskmanager at your computer and check if there are some kies stuff that running.
I checked again, Kies ain't running. The strange thins is, before flashing with speedmod kernel, when in download mode, the phone was found in Odin, but not after that - i have speedmod kernel for 10 days lets say, and yesterday i tried Odin and it just doesn't work (anymore)
Should i flash the ZImage through recovery mode? So that i can then flash new kernel with recovery mode? If that's how it goes at all. Or is recovery mode just for ROMS?
(ROMs, kernels, firmwares - ayayayay...)
I think you flash kernels,radio etc thru Odin and rom:s thru recovery.
There's a message i got when i download mode, the tray shows a USB icon and i click it and it says: USB Device Not Recognized
- USB Root Hub (10 ports)
- Unused Port
- Generic USB Hub (3 ports)
- Unknown Device
- USB Composite Device
- USB Composite Device
- Unused Port
- Unused Port
- etc...
and "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it."
Come on phone, show me some life :/
I've tried everything on this site to root and get cwm to install custom roms. I've done this with my inspire and infuse but the sgs2 is currently winning the battle.
I have the drivers installed and I know how to boot into download mode but for some reason odin will not work for me. I can't get the yellow bar to come up for me to install the pda file. I like the phone but not being able to flash roms is gonna suck.
If anyone could help that would be great. I've tried all the methods on here and no success. Thanks in advance.
Put your phone into download mode and connect to you computer, then go to to device management either through settings or by right clicking on my computer then properties.
There look through the USB devices on your computer, you should find this listed somewhere there
Code:
Samsung Mobile USB CDC Composit Device
If the driver is set up correctly.
If you can't find the above then uninstall any thing that is any kind of a Samsung mobile device, unplug your phone and uninstall and reinstall Samsung kies.
If you do find the above, unplug your phone, make sure the version of Odin you have is 1.82 or higher.
Then do the following in the exact order
1. Reboot your computer
2. Start Odin
3. Put your phone into download mode and connect to your computer - and hopefully within 10 to 15 seconds Odin should recognize your phone

This should fix the problem:
Get the Samsung Unified USB driver here: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...13196871580881
Be sure to uninstall kies if it's installed and uninstall any other samsung usb driver.
Then reboot windows before installing the new unified samsung drivers.
After installation of the new usb drivers reboot windows before connecting the usb cable into the phone.
Plugging in the original samsung usb cable into a different usb port in the
back of the computer is also a good thing to try as Dungeon47 was saying.
Good Luck!
Make sure you are using a USB directly connected to your motherboard. Make sure you are using an official Samsung or Blackberry micro USB cable. If that doesn't help, try another port.
Ok thanks i'm still in the process of trying and doing what y'all suggested. I will let y'all know if it works.
Well I got superuser now but still unsuccessful in flashing rom.
Says installation aborted. Ill try later but thanks for helping out.
Did you try starting Odin first, and plugging your phone in afterwards? That hung me up for a little bit. (I'm assuming you reinstalled Kies as suggested).

Yeah I got root but when I try to flash a rom I'm unsuccessful. Trial and error. Ill get it.
Hey guys I have recently tried flashing the biohazard ics kernel thru clockwork but now that I've done that the phone won't boot but mow when i try to restore my previous rom it says there's an md5 mismatch and when i try to install a rom from the internal card I get a can't mount emmc message. Also since i installed the standard ice rom odin only read my phone when it was turned on. Have I bricked my phone???
If you can still get into download mode, you have not bricked your phone. Just flash an original firmware, root it and try again with the restoration.
I have the firmware but if odin won't detect my phone do i need to reinstall the drivers or get a new cable.

what do you mean if?? pls explain your situation more clearer
try reinstalling drivers. and before opening odin, kill all kies related tasks in task manager. then open odin. then connect phone while in download mode
whenever i was running the previous rom, odin would only detect my phone when it was booted normally but not when i would go into download mode and since i can't pull roms off my sd card because i get a can't mount /emms/ i've never gotten that error message before.
Don't connect your phone to odin, since you have no proper kernel installed Odin won't detect any drivers.
Go to recovery mode and reflash stock kernel stored on your phone(assuming you have stored a kernel).
If you haven't then use Heimdall Suite to flash recovery mode again, use link below for reference:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II:_Full_Update_Guide
i reinstalled the samsung drivers and heimdall doesn't detect my phone either :/
What is the "biohazard ics kernel" ?
Try a different cable, different usb port and different computer.
it's an ice cream sandwich kernel created by biohazard and ever since i cant't boot up and clockwork can't detect my removable sd which is where all my backup files and other roms are. I've already tried about 3 different cables and all ports the only other thing is to find a desktop and see if that works...I have a feeling i might have to buy another phone since my phone so far can't be detected in download mode anymore.
So what exactly happens when you put your phone into download mode (power off phone, then hold volume down and home button while booting it) then plug it into the computer?
Does the computer detect it, does it try to install drivers?
the computer detects it but odin won't detect it unless you've installed kies on your computer

Uninstall kies, download the samsung phone drivers from my 4shared (the 4icon in my sig), install them, put phone into download mode, plug into computer.
still no luck...
my phone freeze on the first screen with the galaxys2 logo and the yellow trigon...!!recovery mode mode dont work and when i am going in download mode the pc cant reccognice the phone..!!i have allready install the drivers...!!i want to install an official rom but odin cant see the phone.!!help
If you think you get working drivers installed, put your computer online, put your phone on download mode, plug the cable, and wait for it to install.
This is for windows 7, otherwise install the Samsung usb drivers again

That's hard.
If you do not get the PC recognize your phone in download mode, you have a real problem.
Try another USB port and cable.
Try to connect your phone to another PC.
Maybe you have to give it to a service center for repair.
Is your phone already out of warranty?
I had a similar problem where it freezes on that screen.
My problem was I installed an ICS rom with old version kernel.
Once I installed the latest CF-Root the boot was successful.
If Odin can't see your phone and you can still go into Download mode, I would check to make sure that Kies is not open and no Kies process is live (Task Manager / Processes), I think it's call "KiesTrayAgent", just kill the process and any process that has a Kies word in it.
Otherwise try another PC.
