Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry

Ok i will try that and get back to you
Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

Hi guys,
need a hand here, yesterday I plugged my S2 to my PC but it wouldn't show up. I've done this many times before. I was getting the message saying 'usb device not recognized'. I then flashed the new ICS resurrection rom by moving it to my SD Card through an adapter. I thought maybe the usb problem would go away.
As my luck would have it the flash went badly it seems because i'm now getting the kernel panic message on my device. I can't get it to recovery mode but I can get it to download mode BUT Pc doesn't recognize the device still...
Could this maybe be a damaged port on my device?
Is it maybe a driver problem?
Any help would be much appreciated....
Anyone have any advice?

Did you install the usb drivers that are included in kies? They're in the kies\usb driver directory.

I plugged in a galaxy TAB and used KIES through my web browser to transfer items to the TAB. Does this interfere with the SGSII? I haven't used KIES with the SII
Instructions are to install Kies and connect the phone with the Samsung cable and drivers are found .It does not mention install another device and it will work so its a guess as to driver conflict due to Kies looking for the TAB .
Could be port on PC not a mainboard port USB on phone dirty or custom rom buggered phone .
I would flash stock GB rom via Odin .

Sorry, missed that you can't get to anything BUT download mode.
Try flashing an older Gingerbread firmware wipe package then.
EDIT: specifically using mobile Odin, since your computer isn't detecting your phone via USB... not even sure if that works, but what do you have to lose at this point?

He said the computer won't recognize the phone. Maybe you need to learn how to read. When using Odin or cwm to flash anything it doesn't touch download mode. That's a untouched partion.
Op try to boot into download mode then connect your phone n see if Odin recognizes the phone. If so you can use Odin to restore the phone.

If it's a Windows based PC, he should check to make sure he has USB drivers installed. If the drivers aren't installed, when he connects the phone to the PC it should detect the phone and try to install USB drivers. If it doesn't find any it will ask for a location to install them from. I forget if I installed them separately, or if they got installed when I loaded Kies.
But if he has the proper USB drivers installed, and the phone doesn't show up in Windows Explorer as a new drive in a few seconds... it's probably a problem with the phone that might mean sending it back to Samsung for repairs.
hard brick
give it to service
only thing that can help u now is z3box (and other similar tool)
EDIT: Deleted my reply about drivers. It was redundant and other replies come from people with much more experience.
My friend has done this too before, only Service Center or RIFF(?) JTAG Box can save you.
@ Service centre blame kies for everything (If Kies wasn't so useless- we wouldn't need to update with Odin.

Hi
i was installing a stock rom last night and I got the Firmware Upgrade encountered....
The phone wont boot into recovery, it will how ever go into download mode but odin will not detect it no matter what I do
Tried every set of drivers I could find, no luck.
I am on windows 7 64 bit.
Is the phone bricked, it shows no binary count in download, would it be covered under warranty?
Really need to get my phone back if anyone can help, I have tried everything at this stage, I think
Thanks
Did you already installed the Kies software? It will install the Galaxy S2 drivers, maybe that is the problem. If it really doesn't work, try another computer with the Kies functioning!

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

My friend handed me his samsung galaxy SII believing that I could fix his problem. He rooted it, and started going ROM crazy. Needless to say he broke it. I thought I could fix it, maybe it was a simple bootloop issue or what have you, but the phone won't even get recognized on my computer. I can set it into ODIN mode, but it won't get recognized by my computer, even though I downloaded the samsung usb drivers. It won't show up in ODIN, and It won't enter recovery mode either for some odd reason, so there's no chance of me loading something through his SD card. Whenever I turn it on normally it's stuck at a battery screen with a circle as if it were loading the battery, but it never finishes.
I'm pretty sure it's bricked, but I want to be sure before I tell him to buy a new phone.
The only information I can get out of it is that it's a SHW-M250K
thank you in advance.

But you can enter DL mode, so that's your window.
You need to get your pc to see the device, we git plenty of tricks for that. Haven't you bumped into any of them?
Try other odin versions/usb cable/usb ports/clean kies uninstall and re install, try another pc and do it all over again.
You can also disable the antivirus if you like.

Remember to CLEAN uninstall kies (with your uninstaller pro or similar) and install it right back.
You can also intall kies on another PC and try it out.
