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?

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
If Only everybody solved their own problems
Hey guys, Please help if you can. Much appreciated
Okay so I have a P1000, bought from Dubai. decided to flash in a new rom because I realised how crappy the old, 2.2 Froyo was. It was an arabic Rom. So When flashing I flashed to a wrong rom, one that was not compatible. Then I got a black screen. All black, it was detected by odin and zadig. I read somewhere to use the overcome rom to get out of this problem.
I downloaded the rom. But when I tried switching on the tab after a nght switched off. It was no longer detected by the pc. doesnt seem to be switching on. What should I do?
Thanks guys, In advance

Your in the wrong forum. If you flashed something from here your Tab is bricked. Only way to recover is JTag (search for it online for the service) or warranty from Samsung (don't tell them you flashed something).
Search for your specific section for your device and you might get more answers. This is NOT the right section.

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

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

post an Odin screenshot if it doesn't go through
Hi guys!, first of all thank you for your support, here are the updates, i try flashing it via odin and a error was show and it was imposible to flash it that way, because i was desperate and impatient for having it back, i talk to a "expert" friend of mine, he told me that the problem was that the bootloader was locked by verizon, thats why i cant flash it, so he rooted the phone, and download e-z unlocker app or something like that, he install the app and then proceed to unlock the bootloader, everything went well, the turn off the phone for putting it on download mode but the phone wont turn on, it doesnt even charge it was dead, hard bricked :crying: ,so i reallyze that all my impatience went wrong and now i have a 900 dlls brick (im from mexico thats whhy is so expensive, a couple months ago) and well the only brigth side is that im going to try guarantee and say that the phone just experience a sudden death case and hopefully the belive me i´ll keep you guys updated! thanks for the support!
first of all, I asked for an Odin screenshot.
second of all, how can the bootloader be locked by Verizon if it's not a Verizon phone? i9300 is an international unlocked phone. If you messed with the bootloader, then I don't think there's anything you can do
Hi i need some help please! I was using a ROM (MUI) later i try to install another, but i did a wrong option ( i don't remember actually what is) but now it erase me all the system. when i turn my phone on its only ( samsung galaxy s2 on the screen and nothing happen), also can use lock, volume down and home to downloading mode. i don't know what to do :'(. please some one help me i got a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 im kinda desperate.
i want to know how i can get to stock. please some help URGENT! :crying:
Why on Earth would you do something ridiculously foolish like that ? If you're going to mod your phone, make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it & pay attention.
The help you need is in this thread, and by that I mean do what I told that guy to do (and what Hopper also told him to do). Do not post to the other thread, simply read the help I've provided, and go fix your phone.
I referred you to it because I can't be arsed typing the exact same thing 3 times within 5 minutes (twice is plenty for my level of patience, trust me).
