Good afternoon XDA'ers!
I recently broke my phone and had a new one just sent to me now on insurance.
First thing i wanted to do was root it so u i could use titanium to do a restore from my old device.
Unfortunetly i was a little bit stupid in that i rushed things and think i may have used the wrong kernal/bootloader in Odin.
My phone rebooted and sits at the Samsung Galaxy S II loading screen with the yellow triangle.
I am able to get back into download mode, but not sure what to do from here?
Is there anyway to fix this? If so how?
Just flash right kernel/firmware

What have you flashed via Odin?
You could try to reflash from Odin the right kernel to see if it works.
This might help. Haven't read it all, though.

Flashed PDA using an Insecure XWKDD file i had from my previous SG2 root.
Also i don't know what Kernel to use now :-s

start odin. get in the download mode and plug your phone.
Click on PDA and choose the "CODE_I9100XXKJ3....tar.md5" file.
Click on Phone and choose the "MODEM_I9100XXKJ3....tar.md5" file
Click on CSC and choose the "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-KJ3.tar.md5" file.
Click on PIT and choose the "...pit" file.
after its done, the yellow triangle should be gone.
unplug the usb cable, shutdown your device, get in the download mode again.
http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip download this. unzip file and start ODIN click pda and select the tar file. then flash! now you are rooted w/o annoying yellow triangle! you can flash kernel whatever you want with darkyota

I want to unroot my tab, so i downloaded the stock ROm from samfirmwares. I got a *.tar with 8 files. (See Attachment)
My question: How can I flash the Firmware? I tried Odin but I dont understand how it works. Or can I make a zip and flash through CWM?

it took all my yesterday but i guess i figured it out.. find odinv3 1.85, this is the one which sees the tab correctly, then keep your files unextracted from the *.tar format.. its icon should look like a rar file but the extension must be .TAR .. then by pressing the power+volume down buttons go into the black screen which asks you between download mode and recovery mode, by using the vol down button navigate to the download mode and with the vol up key select it.. then connect it to the computer, once Odin sees it click on the PDA and navigate to your tar file and then click on flash.. in 3 mins it will say PASS on the small box.. then when your tab is on this time go into recovery mode and wipe everything.. so it will be completely stock and just like when it is out of the box..

@_delice_doluca_: thx, i tried it and it works for me.
can some one show me how to flash enthropy's kernel with cwm i tried flashing it on odin with the zimage in pda but its not working
Never mind I got it to work
You need to put the tar file in PDA in Odin.
Trying to flash my kernel in CWM right now doesn't make sense - since if you've got CWM you're already running it and I have only one release so far.

Can someone post more detailed instructions on how to flash his kernel? Im not that experience at flashing customs roms and kernals and i dont want to mess up my device.

Download Odin3(you can Google it) then download the tar file from entropy's post. Once in Odin put your device into download mode using power and volume down. Then connect to the PC click on PDA in Odin and find the file and then press start. That's about it hope this helps.

THANKS but I did not mean using cwm I meant to state that this kernel had cwm and I got it to work
thanks for the kernel

Entropy do you think putting touchwiz 4.0 would work on the sgp using this http://www.tutebox.com/3776/mobile/install-touchwiz-4-0-on-any-samsung-phone/
I personally don't know how to do this though

just to be clear to enter download mode, i hold power and volume down at the same time? and if i want to exit just to test if i did it correctly, what do i do to exit? and does usb debugging have to be on? and after putting my device in download mode, i connect it to pc. i have it set on mass storage. thanks to anyone who helps.
No:
Turn the device completely off
Hold VolDn
DO NOT TOUCH POWER
Insert USB cable
You also need to install drivers for the device - they are usually included wherever you download Odin from.
Samsung drivers and Odin3 are available from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386669
DO NOT use the PIT file or the bootloader included in the same zip as Odin in that thread!
Hi. I unrooted my note but need to reflash a stock recovery and can not find help. I have read thru all the threads without finding detail info how to do it. can someone help?. can I use Heimdall to flash the recovery like we do on the Tab???.

The problem is that my phone won't boot into Recovery like if it has no recovery installed.
Are you trying to get the phone back to a stock rom? Do you have access to a computer running KEIS?
What method are you using to get into recovery?

Yes, I have done it through Kies and when I try to go to recovery the phone go into a loop.
Sounds like you used kies to upgrade to official ics? Why would you need to get into stock recovery? What button combo are you using?

K. Sounds like you're gonna have to flash a recovery through Odin. If you're worried about the flash counter then I would flash cwm through Odin, flash counter reset and stock recovery in cwm. If you're not concerned about the counter, then just leave that part out.
Thanks for the help. I'll do it as soon I get home.

Odin wil not find my cwm recovery to flash on my computer!!!. what do I do now???????
When you hit the PDA box it doesn't bring up the tar file? It can't be a zip. Make sure you have the correct cwm file on your PC. Make sure you download the Odin file. I prefer the touch version myself.

no, no tar file. I have downloaded from several threads and unziped and they show in my computer but Odin do nothing to find them.
STUPID IDIOT OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,:silly::silly::silly:. I downloaded the wrong one,,,,,........ will try again...
The PDA slot in Odin will only see specific types of files. In this case, it needs to be a tar file. Go to the link above and download the Odin file for cwm touch.

In CWRecovery; format cache, data, system, & internal sd card. In Odin, flash stock rom. Then jig or Triangle Away to reset flash counter. Done. That's what I'd do if I was selling it or sending it in for warrant service.

You missed a point. Triangle Away needs root. So use it first, then do all the other steps

Also you can be sure everything is stock as per youor country/region, if Samsung Kies recognizes your phone and says "Update available" or "This is the latest firmware".
I've found the guide to restore to stock firmware here:

And the list of stock firmwares here:

Just one n00b question, though.. How do I know which stock ROM to flash on to the phone? I'm in Australia and it came from Vodafone stock (but was unlocked).

I looked for the CSC for Australia and it's XSA, so any device in Australia would I guess be that. The firmware below is single CSC, so it's only for Australia. It's Android 2.3.6 Unbranded.
GT-I9100_XSA_I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_I9100XXKI
Steps to flashing back to stock:
1. If you've got the yellow triangle, remove it with Triangle Away..
2. Put the phone into download mode (volume down + home button + power button)
3. Open Odin v1.85 You'll see in the white box when the device is plugged in and also in download mode a message saying "Added!"
4. Select the firmware you downloaded, extract to to see the GT-I9100_XSA_I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_I9100XXK.tar.md5 file.
5. Select PDA in Odin, select the file you now extracted.
6. Start flashing.
PS. You need to wipe/data cache after doing this or before else you'll be stuck in a bootloop. That can either be done in CWM, or the stock recovery.
Odin will take about 2 minutes for the whole process and you'll be back to stock.
Hope I helped.

That's fantastic, thanks so much for that Nicholas. I'll give that a go once my sluggish internet decides to download the file! Have a good weekend mate. :good:
Okay, so I can't install TriangleAway apk. I've tried putting it on my SD card and flashing it from CWM, and also by flashing it straight from the internet explorer on my phone.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just tried Mounting /System and installing the .apk from Root Explorer and I still get the same parsing error.
Is there a different TriangleAway version I could download perhaps?
Cheers for the assistance.
I think if you flash stock firmware with Odin you do not get a yellow triangle.

Is it possible to restore a stock rom onto my S2 without using the USB port/ODIN?
My S2 has a faulty USB port that only works for charging (sometimes if I wiggle the cable around), cannot transfer data over the usb cable at all and will not connect to my pc so doubt it is going to work with ODIN.
I can transfer files to the phone using airdroyd and can flash using Rom Manager, will this return it to the standard rom if I flash the correct ROM onto it?
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks

Yes, you can.
Use Mobile Odin app (requires root). It works like Odin, but u don't need a PC for that!
And avoid using ROM Manager. Many people have had issues using it before.

Hi guys
I'd like to do a factory restore to stock (full wipe) from rooted Vanilla Rootbox ROM V4.2 (JB 4.2.2) Do I just reflash a stock ROM from SamMobile?
I've been flashing custom ROMs for a while but something is screwy and unstable now and I get a "UID errors" message on boot-up so I want to start from scratch, then reroot and reload the custom ROM again.
Many thanks in advance.
Hello, as you guys have already figured out, I am new to rooting. In trying to use Odin to flash CWM into the S II, the phone will not boot after logo. Even when attempting to boot into recovery mode the phone just loops back to the logo. I think I messed up big time. Thanks for reading.
Your post tells us that you're trying to get a different recovery onto the device; it would be very helpful to know what you flashed.
Recovery on the i777 is packaged with the kernel, so you will gain a custom recovery by flashing an appropriate kernel. I don't think that the recovery can be installed separately on this device.
using desktop Odin to flash anything other than stock firmware will result in tripping the flash counter, and the phone will display the yellow triangle as the initial boot screen. Flashing custom firmware via desktop ODIN does NOT necessarily mean that the device won't boot, which leaves me wondering what you flashed.
What is your goal? It will be easier to direct you once we are properly aware of where you were, and what you are aiming to achieve.

Thanks for replying to my post. The first thing I flashed via Odin was the CWM KitKatcompatible tar file and that was when the problem started. Right now I'm trying to get the S II to boot past the logo.

Do you know what version of Android was running on the device before you flashed cwm?
My recommendation is to return to stock.
First, download the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Full distribution, I777UCMD8 from the Download Repository. It's the next to last item near the bottom. The downloaded file is in seven-zip (.7z) format and you need to extract the contents using an archiving program. The resulting file, which will have a ...tar.md5 extension, is the file you will use in step 7 below. Also download Odin3 v1.85. There is a link near the top of the page in the Repository.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
[...]
Once you have the phone up and running, Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit is the easiest way to root.
