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:

And flash as pda.

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?
Hello guys,
Please help me with this! I am very very new to this and I was just trying to install a cyanogen 7 and right in the middle of boot under recovery my battery fell off
I had already backed up and wiped everything but I cannot get it back in recovery anymore.
Phone won't boot at all. It says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. But Kies cannot connect to the phone.
I tried to reinstall the software (Android 4.0.3) with Odin, in every way possible. First I just wanted to flash a PDA ut it fails. Then I wanted to make full reinstall, I've tried 30 times to put the software with odin. I also tried with repartioning and adding PIT, PDA, PHONE and CSC.
I really don't know what to do... Help!
I am so sorry I tried to do it myself instead of leaving it to a pro
If there's anything that could help, please tell me. In detail...
Thanx a lot!

Hello everyone.
I need your help because my samsung galaxy s II has the "red screen of death" so I would need to get it back to stock rom before sending it to after sales service.
Can you help me finding the right rom and how to install it please ? At the moment I have CM7.1
Thanks in advance !

Download stock there. Its impossible to guess which specific one it came with unless you provide the information.

I did absolutely nothing, just powered on my phone and everything is red
I tried to remove the battery, wait a couple of hours and try again, but always red !
phone is from France so I dowload the France rom from sammobile
thx
Please anyone answer,
I downloaded I9100XWKJ2_I9100XEFKJ1_XEF.zip from sammobile, can you tell me how can I use it with Odin ?
Do I use this file for PDA, PHONE or CSC ?
Also what's the pit file ? When downloading Odin from sammobile, I have a s1_odin_20100512.pit, is it the right one ?
Thanks in advance !
this is en example use ur own file. (Proceed at your own risk. We are not liable if anything happens to your device by using this method. )
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

If you didn't use the pit file your phone may only be soft bricked. Read some more and you can fix it if you can get into download mode.

I'm guessing you went ahead and just tried flashing using that .pit file?
You should never use a firmware or kernel for a different device, but it is sometimes recoverable.
For future reference, NEVER EVER EVER use a .pit file for a different device...

Since you flashed using an S1 .pit file, your only hope now is JTag repair. Nothing else has any chance of bringing your device back to life.

Not sure why you're ignoring my posts. You can get it fixed (JTag) for like $50 US. (I don't know what that translates to in your local currency)

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?

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

Take a look at his posts, he is spamming that video everywhere, why bait people that need help?
Also remember it does state in the rules to try and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, or don't post at all, I agree it's a hard balancing act to get right, but if you continually slam the door in people's faces it will put newcomers off, a degree of civility and tact is required
