i need a link to get my bricked fascinate back to stock, it wont boot past the model of the phone, for anyone who can help i bricked it trying to update with kies to 2.3 and it bricked and all the searching ive done has led me to think i need a hard reset through odin with the stock firmware but i havent been able to find where i can download it from, every time i try to download it the download ends up being for vgrabber or the link is no good so i need to find a good way to get the tar file, any info would be appreciated
never mind after hours online and just after making thread i found a good download so thanks for reading
Yeah I was going to say I have that package...if you need a cwm recovery or the good reliable EH03 radio for odin then let me know

Hiya guys.
Sorry for urgency, but for reasons I had to try and go back to stock. I tracked down a kernel and firmware and tried flashing them both. The firmware I did first in odin and it worked, but caused a boot loop, so went back into download mode and attempted to flash the kernel but that failed. Now the phone wont boot at all (Stuck at screen with phone on left, computer on right and exclamation mark in the middle...never seen this one before).
I have done my searching in the forum but have found no solid instructions as to what files to download. This was an UNBRANDED GS2 purchased in the UK if it helps. i.e. not locked to any carrier, purchased out of contract.
I'm at witts end with this, have not got a clue what to do from now. Sorry about this guys, any help would me greatly appreciated.

Sorry for being dumb but I have looked at that thread and yet it still does not make sense to me, sorry.
I will attempt to download the "I9100XWKE2_I9100XXKDJ_I9100XEUKD1" firmware because I think this is the one that most makes sense for my model, but I dont think it will work in my scenario. So just flash this via odin in the PDA section and all should be well? Did I not bugger anything up with the failed Kernel?
Do a search mate, you'll find your answer!
also should be in the Q & A section.

If you find this post usefull please press the "Thanks" button
Here, I'll help.
Try 'calling' this number:
*2767*3855#
It'll perform a full reset- firmware included.
ok.. here,
First, I believe you did post at the wrong section?
Second, the reason you see a Exclaimation Mark is because the phone believes that you are not using the original ROM and believe that i has been Flash before.
Lastly, You would need to get a Samsung JIG.
i have already give you the Answer.. on how to use the JIG please google.

If you purchased the device at Carphone Warehouse look for firmware labelled as CWP. If anywhere else then look for XEU labelled firmware. Flash it with Odin as per the instructions in the link above. When you are done boot to recovery and do a factory reset.
The picture depics your phone connected to a pc! Do not use a jig, thats when it is bricked, your phone is not bricked. Your phone is asking you to be put it into download mode and flashed (via Odin), a rom .Unplug usb, take battery out and put it back in. Press home, down volume at the same time as switching phone on, that should get you into download mode. You can now flash. Take battery out now and read on.
Go to Samfirmware, login, toolbox,firmware, android and galaxy s2. Download xxkf2 rom. Find xwkdd.tar insecure kernel on web and dowload it.Go into download mode on phone,as you did before. Flash xxkf2 via Odin. You will now have Gingerbread 2.3.3 unrooted.Flash xwdd as pda in Odin. You will now have a kernel that can be rooted via 1click root on your pc via usb.
On another post, I've posted this to SG2 questions and answers not the to the developer forums, which I believe I can't do until I've posted 10 posts to other forums.

If that does not work which inkyadrian has stated then go off to ebay and buy a £4 usb jig for i9100 which also resets the binary counter for non stock rom's
This tool is invaluable so i would suggest buying one anyway.
I was trying to update my phone from gingerbread 2.3.3 to ice cream sandwich. but for some reason it did not go well, so i am all stuck. I tried so many things people suggested in here. Last thing i tried is to flash it with gingerbread firmware as explained in adroiddevicesdotcom. sorry its not letting me paste the full link of any third party website.
now i can see startup screen where it reaches up to big "S" sign with samsung galaxy 2 written at the bottom but its just looping at same screen.
Could anybody please suggest me what else i can try to install its original OS again.
Thanks,
If you need any other info please let me know
Use odin
I have tried odin to flash gingerbread firmware but still did't help, could you please send me the link where i can download the required files
i know how to use odin just looking for right file
Thanks for your reply

You can find firmware here:www.sammobile.com
*coughs* Or funnily enough, you can find firmware here and here
Why are you even messing with ICS if you reallly have no idea what you are doing? Didn't you read?
Simple solution to boot loop is a factory reset. I have done this numerous times after flashing a new ROM. Works all the time.

Hey guys,
Does anyone have a link to an odin flashable rom I can install?
I can't boot, seems like the android install has gone corrupt when trying to install a custom rom via CWM touch.
CWM is still working, however my internal SD card has been formatted for some odd reason, so I can't install a rom through there. Also, can't mount USB storage to transfer one so kind of forced into using odin.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,

So here goes, I was planning to upgrade my sister's SGS2 to JB, which was a i9100 version.
So, i followed the steps on the official nightly thread of CM10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29280423
but once i did the first step, i thought just in case so i did it, the whole odin process was successful, odin had reset and everything, but right after the reboot the phone wouldn't boot. It would show the samsung logo first, and then the screen goes completely black. i tried going into both download and recovery mode, but failed, same results as the black screen is just there.
Needed some urgent help, do i need a USB jig to run it back on download mode? Googled many forums and threads about this issue and most require a USB jig or to send it back to Samsung. And i've would consider myself quite experienced on flashing roms (did it many times on my own SGS1), or in this case just upgrading from GB to JB, which pretty much requires flashing the rom from CWM, but took the just-in-case route and ended up with this. Really would appreciate the help asap, as my sister's going out of town back to her university this coming weekends after the holidays.
Thank you for you time, and would really appreciate the help.
Your mistake looks to me that youve tried to install ICS cwm when your on GB.
I think you should have upgraded to ICS before attempting any of that.
I would get a jig,then install 4.0.3 stock rom for your region etc via Odin and start again.
If that dont work,then maybe Jtag.
And next time,you should read the install instructions twice!

thanks man, because previously on my own i9000 i just upgraded to ICS straight away just flashing the zip file from CWM, oh my mistake i guess. Getting a jig asap! Thanks again!
Well hopefully a jig will fire it up and Odin will work.Once your at that point then post back here with your phone details and someone can advise which 4.0.3 firmware to get from sammobile.
In the meantime you can try charging up the battery/removing battery for a while......to see if it still wont enter download mode.
Also there may be a jig near you....theres a thread with peoples locations that have them.

if your refering to the "all in one stock root rom" thread i've checked that already and all the att links are dead.
Just plug it into KIES and restore to stock, root then install your custom rom.

you did not list your carrier or device in your post, but there is a whole list of options here. I have myself scanned through list and yes am aware many of links are dead, yet this was the 2nd one I checked.
if this is for your device and what you are looking for then you are ready to go.
here is the thread containing the file, first link is up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261598
if not, check the last post in this thread. you will find a link provided from "developweb", see if that is what you are looking for, be sure to hit his thanks button. I am not going to send one of my files, again simply, because you have not told anyone device or carrier. you have already flashed wrong file once and I don't know how, but I don't want to be responsible for anyone bricking their device.
you have been a member long enough to know what information folks need and long enough to know to read. if you can provide this information, then maybe I can help you further if needed.
good luck and keep us posted
