Thanks in advance
Nevermind, Got it.
Close thread please and thanks.
im glad you got it to work because my only suggestion was to .......Cry . . .
INFO
how did u fix the problem??? im currently stuck at the same spot!!! dont close thread
good NEWS!
ok idk know if this is news but i think it is because i havent seen anything else that says this on xda. basically i had the same problem (stuck on yellow computer caution bastard screen)and after trying everything...which failed...i just plugged in odin an ran it anyways...out of frustration
my phone was NOT in dl mode but the blue progress line came up anyways
long story short...i have a stock vibrant
basically if u see that screen...try treating it as the download mode screen and just proceed as usual...might work for u too =]
thank you so much!!! that actually worked!! i am so thankful that you were able to find a fix!

No problem.
Untill you get to the stage where you are unlockling your bootloader you can never really break an x10.
Just make sure you have SEUS and/or pccompanion on your PC and you can always fix your phone.
if you have any problems, just PM me

Start from the begining again, attach in flash mode and try again.
If it doesnt work, use pccompanion to flash 2.3.3 stock FW and try again
how long should it take to reboot? thanks by the way, you sir are saving my life!

Dont worry about it rebooting, just attach it in flashmode and start again...
If that doesnt work just flash with pccompanion
no problem..I am here to help..
hey thanks mate, right, ive redone it, unplugged the device after kernel downgrade, but then it says that i need to turn on unknown sources and debugging... how do i turn those on if i cant get it to boot to the main screen? am i supposed to boot the phone after downgrade, turn those on, turn the phone off, then turn it on and plug the usb cable in immediately?
thanks so much.

No, flashtool always says that when it has finished an operation...just go onto the next step
13/051/2011 20:51:45 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on
13/051/2011 20:51:45 - INFO - Then go to application settings
13/051/2011 20:51:45 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging
the tut you sent me tells me that i should plug the device in as soon as it vibrates when turning it on, so which comes first? i have tried both methods and cannot seem to get around this sony ericsson boot screen...

yes thats correct...but you dont have to let the phone reboot...if i remember rightly i had to do that bit a couple of times to catch it right....
just follow the instructions from the thread and dont worry what the phone is doing...
like i say, if oyu think you have made a mistake then you can repair your phone with pccompanion to have another go.
I am about for another 10-15 minutes then i need to put my kids to bed...but dont worry, if you cant sort it now, i will be about tomorrow to help you, just send me a pm
ok great, so do i actually not boot the phone at all after it says unplug and reboot the device and turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging, do i wait and then turn it on and immediately plug in the usb cable? thanks. and thanks again for the help.
because the thing is no matter what i do, the flashtool box does nothing, and the phone will not boot, sticks on the bootscreen.

Hello there guys, well I just bought this phone today and already doing a mess with it.. its natural cause I study Informatic so It may improve my skills, Im from Venezuela so the cellphone has to be unlocked, which it haven't yet..
So lets start with all the mess I did, also too I think isnt "BAAAAD" I just dont know what to do at this point..
Well first I started "looking how to root", Cool I DID IT! I did it actually with "SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel"
Okaaay, cool... my cellphone restarting, look for the Application to find my "Unlock Code".. SURPRISE! "Code Not Found " AND A PLUS, My Wifi Connection wasnt working.. So I read the post a pretty bit more, then I read "download this Kernel, It will definately solve WiFi Problem".. Downloaded "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5" Okaay, my cellphone get on again, and when I touch the 2 buttons at right (The search and go back buttons) It doesnt do anything, YEEYYY, so as I knew I already got a "Powerful" tool, the CWM so I act like a dumb and accidentally pressed "Wipe /System" Cause I didnt know how to use properly the volumen +, - and power buttons in that menu.. Now my cellphone doesnt have /System folder.. at this moment Its on with the "Android System Recovery" I got 4 options..
"Reboot system now" (Wont work, will go till the SAMSUNG S II screen then freezes)
Apply update from sd card (Dont know how to use it, or even for what it works)
Wipe data/factory reset(It will bring the phone to 0, but still not working)
Wipe Cache Partition(? dont even know what the hella is this)
My phone has the 2.3.6 version, gingerbread.. Hope someone could help me before my mom kills me..
Thanks in advance, José
PD forgot to add, the pc isnt available to do anything with the cellphone.. it seems like it even deleted the drivers, or something..
just to forewarn you, people here are about to flame you for using galaxys2root and zedomax to do anything to your phone. NEVER go back to that site. It's why you are in the situation you are in.
Now, I don't really know where to start with repairing your phone, but one thing you should do is read a lot more here on xda.

First try to go into download mode,
Volume up+home+power button...if this not work try volume down instead of up...and let me know
This will help you get it back to factory setting. Read it all before you do anything.

When your phone starts up does it say GT-I9100 or SGH-I777?

Yes im at the download mode, its working properly!
Jackman:
Okay so I will download the 270mb file that looks to have System, and everything because its an COMPLETE OS..
I will tell you more about it in 37min(120kbps download)
So I will download it, then use odinv3 + cellphone in download mode.. Im right?
Another point for zedomax...epic fail
I would take it as a lesson to listen first and do then.. I wont let a guy who probably did a messy OS, or anyways(Im used to Blackberry Language) brick my cellphone! Im downloading the UCKH7-CL503881 then install it with Odin into my samsung, right?
Sideways guys... Are those "Unlock SIM apps" on Market trusty or untrusted? Should I buy an IMEI(25$) :/ Or could I get those one for free? My cellphone have the simcard locked..
Done!
Now its working again, thanks guys!! From here on now Im going to be careful with my baby and read first then do..
You're going to see me looking how to ROOT and how to unlock Sim Card in the few hours.. Topic can be closed and thanks for so much help!:laugh:
Hey man, I feel for ya... but you really need to search xda for some of your questions... the answers are there. Good luck, maybe credit will read this in the morning and will be able to help. The guy is an ACE!
Much love creepy!

Hi there, i finally got round to trying to root my galaxy s2 having put it off for a while due to the fear of it all! I only really wanted to root it to move the games over to my sd card since they were taking up all the room on my internal memory!
Anyway now that i have done it, i have really messed up my fone. My fone will not boot anymore, it will only go into download mode. It won't go in recovery or boot at all. It goes to the galaxy s2 logo and displays a yellow sign at the bottom of the screen. I have tried numerous tutorials online to try and fix this problem. I have tried 'Phistachio's guide on this forum and i still couldn't get it to work. It just comes up 'Fail' when i try to flash everything. It flashes the kernal fine, and it also flashes the pit file fine, but the rest it just fails on.
I really need my phone up and running again through any means! If anyone has the time to help me, that would be fantastic! I just need it fixed, and it feels like i am running out of ideas on what to do next.
Im sure i was on ice cream sandwich when i tried to flash the device so i followed this tutorial on galaxys2root....com (i can't post the link)
But it after this, it never booted.
Please help!
Thanks

What's your phone Model no?
were you on Gingerbread or ICS before trying to root?
If you can get in download mode, then just flash a stock rom

Hi!
I can see that you are stuck on bootloop. There are a lot of options to get you started on fixing this.
If you can go to download mode, you can just flash a stock rom/firmware via odin..
If you can't go to download mode, you use a usb jig to get you to download mode (if you don't have a usb jig, you can borrow one near you.. the link is on my signature).. and once you get to download mode, you can flash a stock firmware/ rom..
you can get/ download stock firmwares on sammobile.com but you have to have an account there. don't worry it's free
I hope this helped
Cheers!
usb jig n flashing stock rom over pc odin the best way

Hi.
Firstly take out the fear in you n then try out anything with yr phone for wat u need.
Now find a jig which will reset yr binary count to Zero.
Find your countries latest stock rom on xda or sammobile.
Odin v 1.85
Stock rom tar file (which u get after extracting downloaded rom )
Install samsung mobile drivers on yr pc.
Put yr phone to download mode manually (vol down +centre+power)
Then open odin n don touch anything other than pda.
In pda select the md5sum tar file.
Then connect yr phone with usb cable to odin n after u find an yellow vom port u ve to start n wait for stock rom to get
Flashed n with fear don remove cable in the midfle of flash n once done it will restart n work the way it was before.

Hey friend.
Congrats! !!
Kindly spare sometime on sharing what you did to get yr phone back to work.
It might help some1 who faces same situation lik you came across.
Hello
am not a developer or a super user,,,,i have a sony xperia sola (MT27i),,,i bought from a local shop unlocked(Egypt) if that matters!!
i followed all the tutorials i could find here,,,,but since most of the devs here ask us to use google and search more!!!!
i did that and searched till i got my phone bootloader UNLOCKED and also got it ROOTED!!!.......
the problem is when i installed this ROM or whatever it is (eXperience Innovation),,,,,,it seemed okay while downloading but it's not booting the system!!!
and keep on restarting the whole device!!!!!,,,,,so i can't get into the system!!!!
and i can't even put another stock firmware to get it back to default and restore it,,,because on my computer it can't really recognize my phone!!!
i feel really bad because things like that never happens to me,,,,and usually the instructions are more clear than that!!!
i really appreciate your effort everybody,,,,,but you need to be more friendly and offer alittle more instructions!!!! and also offer some options in case of things ****ed up like my case!!!!
i need your HELP ASAP,,,,,i can't live without my phone
and all i wanted is to get a clean system because it was super laggy before i unlock the bootloader
P.S: it was fast after unlocking the bootloader
:crying:
Edit:i found the solution
all what you need to do is downloading the STOCK FTF file(in my case it was MT27_6.1.1.B.1.54_Global) and put it in the c:\flashtool\firmware FOLDER
and then put your phone in flashmode (volume DOWN not up+power button) and wait for it to finish
it didn't work the first few times,,,,but when i restarted my computer it worked!!!!????
i have no idea why,,,,,but it worked and am so happy i have my phone back
