[Q] Failed Root of S2 - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I tried rooting my ATT S2 using the instructions here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414) and everything went perfectly fine, except at the last step where I launched S2 Root, it launched but couldn't see the phone.
Despite all that, now the back button doesn't work and more importantly I cannot send or receive phone calls. I can make and receive the call, but there is no audio.
I guess for now I just want to go back to the stock kernel.
Any help is greatly needed, this is my work phone so I need to get it working again ASAP.
Thanks

Flash a stock rom..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Flash a Stock ROM and use CF-Root if that method fails.

Thanks guys!
I'm new to this, if that wasn't apparent.
So where do I go to get the stock ROM?

Okay, so I found the original ROM and flashed using ODIN, the yellow exclamation mark has gone away, which I assume is a good thing, but the back button is still not working and there is no audio for phone made or received.
Any ideas?

I think the stock rom should be a wipe one...

Maybe you have a hardware issue ?

What does that mean exactly?

I don't know why these other people are recommending these things, but this is the I9100 forum and you do not have an I9100.

Sorry oinky, only other choice I saw was the 4G S2, which I don't have, so this forum seemed closest.
But as far as the recommendation, what would you suggest?
In desperate need to get this back online, can't send or receive calls!
Thanks

HELP - Please - No Voice after ROM upgrade

Now I do not get any Voice on calls or via speaker... I tried restoring the backup from CWM and NO luck....
Can anyone please help... how do I fix this issue so I can make and recv calls.
Thank You
This is the I9100 forum, nothing to do with your phone.
You're in the wrong forums flashing stuff for the wrong device.

Another person didn't read the instructions, didn't do their research, and flashed an I9100 modem.
Lucky you didn't hardbrick by flashing stuff without doing your research first.

Same happened to me. Install a UCKH7 modem.
So yer telling him to flash a modem that wont fix his problem, which is the voice calls? Did u see he flashed an ics rom?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
These threads should be closed immediately just on general principle.
Any rom that removes voice is best characterizd as a downgrade, not upgrade.
The only ics Roms that work on our phone is in the ported development threads. Other than that, read read read. Good luck.

I have been searching and reading and cannot find the answer to this problem. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I would not consider myself a "noob" as I have flashed 50ish roms on 4 different phones (total). This problem is driving me crazy. Please share your helpful input rather than trolling back.

Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Use the return to stock with root one click method linked above.
Then install mobile odin and flash a clockwork mod enabled kernel like entropy's daily driver or siyah, make sure you download the gingerbread version.
Now that you have cwm you can install any cwm flashable ROM (which most are).
Make sure you read all stickies and search first before asking. Enjoy!

Samsung Galaxy S 3 (S III) not booting after OTA update while rooted

Hello,
Last night I updated my S3 i9300 (International) while it was already rooted on stock.
After the successful update the phone was working fine for a moment, but after a while it rebooted randomly while being idle. now in the morning the phone was working the same for a while, after the occasional reboot, the phone didn't turn on, however it showed the ( Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 ) screen, loaded the logo for a while and then restarted again.
When i open the clockwork recovery, it works fine but reboots after a while.
I had a backup made from the clockwork recovery before the update and is stored on my PC (not phone).
Is there a way to fix my phone? :/
Thanks in advance...
Just try to reflash to stock using Odin.

You have created two threads using a different name. It obvious its you. Your asking for advice but you arnt listening and you are being rude. Liike everyone has said download the xxlh1 stock rom your phone came from sammobile then flash it using odin and that will sort out your problem. Dont worry about csc just get your phone in a working state again.

I have a SGH-i777 and Affected Exynos 4210 devices:
- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
- Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
- AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I777
so no im guessing exynosabuse wont work
Guess again. I used it, and used my phone for nearly a week before I flashed a custom kernel and rom. I never noticed anything not working. Though if you are running 4.0.4 I would suggest doing some more research here. Read, read, and read some more. Then flash a custom kernel and rom. Your phone will thank you for it.

That is exactly what I said. Just read everything carefully and make sure you understand what you are doing.
Do you honestly think that we would all be rooted and put up with **** not working?
all the proper methods you find on XDA ARE 100% working.
what is irritating is the number of threads that have come up within the last 2 weeks asking this same damn thing, and the same damn answer has been given each time. it is obvious you didnt read those threads.
Sorry for bad English. When I get phone, it had Android 2.3.6 To get root and CWM I just flashed Siyah kernel for GB with Odin. I think there is must be Siyah for ICS. Try it. And yes, it will end warranty servise. Good luck!

You wanna flash the stock ROM option.
Now....looking at this closely I'm concerned about that "changes the time by itself" thing. Ask her if the device has been in touch with any kind of liquid (coffee, water, drink, etc).

I bought the S2 used.
Came with ICS 4.0.3.
Recently I flashed Omega Rom, why I need to follow the installation of Stock Rom? Because Omega is Sammy based?
So, in your opinion, I need to follow this:
"If you are installing a new STOCK ROM and want to do a Nuke/Wipe then:
1. Reboot into CWM Recovery
2. Install zip from SD card>Run GS2ROMWipe or GS2ROMNuke
3. Reboot into Download mode
4. Install your stock ROM via Odin
5. Re-root your device"
???
You're gonna flash a stock ROM after you wipe. Stock ROMs are great to see if an issue persists because, if it does, you need to start thinking about a hardware issue.
Did you ask her about the water/whatever?

Yes, and she told me that never came into contact with water or liquids.
So, summarizing and concluding, after doing the "[CWM UTIL] GS2ROMNuke/Wipe/Reset/Clean Scripts," I have flashing for example the official 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and then root?
Lastly, view what happens with the phone, right?
Exactly.

The only kernel that I have to root is the Siyah-v3.2b8.
You advise another or this is ideal?
In a few days i´m gonna try your solution... 4 days have passed and the phone has not given problems... weird...
If it's not giving you crap don't flash anything.
You could also flash stock and see how it goes.
Give it 2 weeks.
