It shows yellow triangle whenever i try to get into boot mode.

first boot after flashing takes some time. Just wait...if nothing happens then there is a chance you did something wrong

Oh, I didn't notice he is using the G one

Thanks for the response! Yeah it is my mistake that i flashed the i9100 rom on i9100G! But i just stumbled upon a file which apparently could be used to unbrick the phone and then i can flash the new ROM!
Did any one hear about it?

Help!

Hey,
I tried to instal ICS onto my Galaxy S2 and half way through the install on Odin it froze for like half an hour, Showed no sign of moving so i pulled it out in fear of a hard brick,
Now my device when i turn it on says "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
It will show up in Odin and can go into download mode but not Recovery Mode,
Help me! How do i get the stock back ? I dont want to mess up again..

i am no expert but if you can try and get into recovery and try and restore your phone.. what i mean is press volume up + home button + power button and try and get into recovery...if you can then if you have a previous rom that you have backed up then just restore and see if that works...
or if you can get into download mode try and see if you can flash any other stock firmware... Sorry i do not know anything else to suggest.. hope you sort it out

Boot into download mode, connect to odin (make sure no kies processes in the background), find your stock rom from here:

Whatever.
You did some **** that you shouldn't have done without reading first. If you had done any damn research you would know why the i9100 screen pops up. And it isn't because your phone thinks its an i9100.
Its covered in the stickies in this forum section. Open your eyes and read.

No one can help you unless you provide enough useful information about what you have done. You should have read and learned enough to avoid making a mistake in the first place, but if you will tell us what you have done, maybe you'll get some help. What exactly did you flash with Odin? Provide a link to it? You did not get the warning on boot from flashing stock. What method did you use to try to enter download mode? To try to enter Recovery?

Not familiar with that particular file, but we have seen a multitude of problems from flashing firmware provided by galaxys2rootdotcom. Please use an archive program to open the tar and list the contents back here. (I don't want to download 387MB just to look at it.)

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.
I have flashed the firmware you would have flashed and it is in a boot loop with the att boot image

[q] help please with bootloop issues

Hi guys... I kinda boot looped my I9100 and now can enter only download mode and.nothing else works phone doesn't even boot..I tried almost every tutoriol and I keep getting stuck at Nand write operation ..only thing which successfully flashes is the bootloader alone ..even bought a new battery and tried as mine was old and still no luck ..help please ;-(
Help pretty please......
im not expert, but i think that you need to flash a rom via odin(and disable kies)....
Firstly, please make a more descriptive title. So people would know exactly what you are talking about.

Congrats you have flashed wrong kernal..
Now do one thing..
Go to gokhanmoral. Com
If you were running ics download 4.1.5 odin flash able tar file.. Flash throw odin.
If you were on gb download and flash 2.3.5 tar file...
If this doesnt work you need to flash stock rom via odin from sammobile.com for your country..
Make sure you have mobile version GT I9100 AND NOT GT I9100G...

S3 won't boot after installing cyanogenmod 9.0

Ok, so I have recently rooted my Galaxy S3 and I wanted to install cyanogenmod. I used ROM manager to do so.
The problem is that as soon as I installed it, my phone supposedly rebooted but it never started up again!
Now all I get is a flashing "menu" and "back". I can't boot normally, or in download mode, or in odin mode.
I have nothing any more and I don't know what to do, I'm really starting to panic here.
Can anybody please help please?!

Thing is... if you can't get into recovery and you can't get into download mode and you can't boot into a rom, I think you have a paper weight no matter the device.
what did you mean by "flashing menu and back"? take a picture and post it.

I'm guessing he used rom manager to install cwm. installing recoveries can affect boot partitions.

try pulling battery and rebooting into download mode again (volume down, home, and power button i believe, google it just to make sure)

you can screw up the hardware drivers by flashing the wrong kernel which in turn can impact download mode. we see it all the time in the epic touch forums because people think that the s2 and the e4gt variants are interchangeable. so yes. you can software brick by flashing rom/kernel/recovery.

[Q] SII stops at the very first screen

Hi,
My S2 was working perfectly and I put it on charge. About 15mins later I walked past and noticed it was displaying just the very first screen ie the one you see as soon as it starts and says Galaxy S2. Tried all the usual things like removing battery etc. I thought I might have a corrupted ROM so I have re-flashed it with Odin and whilst that was successful it is still at the same screen. I flashed it with the Australian XSA ROM. I can get it into flash mode but nothing else.
Anyone have any further thoughts?

OK thanks for the quick reply. Tried to get there but what happens is the android appears with his whirling blue bit....then it goes to black and the samsung galaxy s 2 screen again appears and thats where it stays. The only mode it will go into is the flash rom mode. In other words vol up plus power and home buttons does the above whereas vol down plus home and power gets me successfully to the rom flash screen.

The only other thing I can think of is to flash a .tar recovery from download mode(vol down+home+power).
Try the modified kernel from philz HERE You will need to match the kernel to the rom version, read carefully particularly the 2nd and 3rd posts
Just untick reboot on finish in odin and once you succesfully flash the kernel try to enter recovery from power off. Good luck

Just getting back to it ....Thanks for that and all makes sense ...but maybe its a dumb question but how do I determine what Kernel I need ...I can't boot the phone up to get any of that information....the only thing I see on the inside cover is the Model - GT-I9100 and an SSN (whatever that is) of -I9100GSMH. Any other clues?

Do you still have the stock rom file that you used with odin? If not you might be able to identify the rom from the website you got it from.

Yes ...I do but again, when I repalced the ROM I didnt know which of the files to try (SamMobile)...the phone originally had an Optus ROM on it before all this happened soI couldnt readily identify which of the 4 files I found were correct to use so in the end I thought I would load the XSA file ...which had the latest date.... hoping that would work....so thats what I went with.... it was I9100XWLSH ...ahh now the penny has dropped...

Yes, thats the kernel you need. Just get the .tar version of the kernel and flash in download mode(vol down, home, power). I'm hoping you can get a working recovery to give you a few more options. It may not work, as I suspect you have filesystem corruptions or something, but try that anyway
OK ...will try that in a few days ...again, thanks for the help
