[Q] Help me?I am in Big problem... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all my S2 usb port was not working...Now i have flashed ics 4.0.3 through Mobile Odin..But now the CWM recovery and mobile odin are not working..the apps are not working and i can not restore my mobile...Can any one give me a solution?

Phone requires working USB to flash stock via Odin
Or a working CWM to flash a Custom rom .
Or Mobile Odin to flash a stock rom .
If none of those work you can do nothing bar send it to a repair centre . However warranty is void as phone rooted and non Samsung rom you have to hope that they dont notice .
You might repair the USB port see previous posts .

I like guessing games. My guess is that you don't have a kernel which comes with CWM recovery.
What do I win?

[Q] Now or never, usb jig & custom recovery

Hi, becuse samsung is just about to release a exu 2.3.4 update that will disable the usb jig from working in resetting the counter, meaning if the thing breaks , you may not be able to get it fixed via waranty. So is it now or never to root, and flash custom roms onto the divice please? Also, I am confused about somthing with regards to custom recovery. If someone would help me, I would be really greatful. (I have tryed to search for the answeres, but didn't find what I needed )
-When You flash a custom rom using odin, how do you get clockwork mod?
-Also, can you install custom roms stock or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
I know these are stupid questions, but If you could help me in any way, I always click the thanks button. Thanks

yes your choice to make until a workaround .

You dont get clockwork mod by flashing a custom rom .
Unless the rom contains CWM in its build .
CWM and Root is the normal method .
Root + CWM .

-Also, can you install custom roms
Yes if the rom instructions say so
stock
NO
or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
|Take it you mean asop rom again yes if instructions say so .
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
Either but CWM is probably a bit more idiot proof .
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
Stock rom its usuall to flash the latest tested release which is KH3 .

AS per the instructions .
It will return the kernel to stock but it will not return other firmare to stock and it will not reset the custom rom counter .
Warranty void if custom rom root or custom rom counter above zero .
Easy way is to use Checkfus to download original firmware and flash via Odin .

cool thanks guys .. all i need now is a jig .. to reset the custom binary counter .. am i right?? then i can sell my phone as unrooted stock ??

If you just flash a stock kernel, then maybe, maybe not. If you flash a full firmware, then probably.

how to return to stock recovery?

Hi everyone. I have rooted my phone with Exynosabuse and flashed CWM Recovery with ROM manager premium, then I unrooted my phone and uninstalled rom manager, but still stuck with CWM Recovery. My question is how to return to stock recovery? ( thanks in advance for any help ) also can I update my s3 via KIES while having this CWM recovery? ( notice that my phone now is unrooted )

leaked official 4.1.2 ????
just go sammobile website search and download for your country if you want
else flash any country version also okay
Just use kies, it's safer and easier...
About how much percent ODIN can fail in flashing rom to s3? Still didnt receive updates on KIES so i want to flash it via ODIN. Also how many time ddoes it take for ODIN to complete flashing??
Get the galaxy s3 toolkit. It includes odin and a copy of the stock recovery you can flash.
Flashing the recover with odin takes under a minute. Flashing a complete rom with odin takes about 5 minutes maximum.

0% fail if you follow the instruction
just need samsung kies (you need the usb driver, not kies because install samsung kies will automatically install the driver also)
and odin and the ROM (in .tar or .tarmd5, depends, confirm is end with .tar and put in pda
and take less than 10 minutes
flashed my s3 via mobile ODIN pro and it worked like a charm.....
Finally flashed my phone, but with mobile ODIN pro. My question is how to get the 4.2 camera on jelly bean 4.1.2 XXELKC. ? Thanx for all your help guys. ..
Flash a custom rom with the mod .
See Android Development Omega rom for one .
Or find the files and push them yourself to the custom rom .
Have a look in Themes and apps and see if its also posted as a standalone mod .

It depends upon the instructions for that rom you need to read them .
But CWM recovery flash is the norm for most custom roms .

Stock Recovery
If you just want the Stock Recovery for example for OTA, just flash the stockrecovery.tar via ODIN. Even I don't like using ODIN too much, but it's a million times better than Kies and easy to use. I personally recommend using ODIN on the PC if possible and avoid Mobile Odin. Mobile Odin is only if you don't have a PC or really need to do something on the go. It's a great app but don't use it all the time. And I'm not sure about this but I think by just flashing the Recovery you won't loose root nor Data, so you save a lot of time!
Only crappy thing with Odin is that it needs TAR and I don't know how to make those excpet with Toolbox. Does anybody know an easy way to make a flashable tar on windows without toolbox or cygwin (linux).

mega bass beat option
I've read about the "flashing mega bass beat option to s3" and it says
-- install zip from sdcard
-- chose zip from sdcard
-- wait for installation to complete
-- wipe cache partition
-- wipe dalvik cache
-- wipe fix permissions
The question is: what will happen if I didn't wipe the dalvik cache?
Do I really need to wipe it?

There is no other way than odin or mobil odin , if you are on a custom rom it maybe rooted already so try installing mobile odin and flash with it.

I usually find stock roms use more battery as custom roms sometimes have a lot of bloatware removed which would run in the background and consume ram, cpu time and could wake the device from deep sleep.

I wasn't answering that question. You asked another question which pointed to a lack of knowledge on your part. Lack of knowledge is dangerous so I helped you out. Rather than responding with multiple ??? (Which is rude btw) you could have simply pressed "thanks".
Root is part of a ROM. Recovery flashes ROM. Root has nothing to do with the ability to flash ROMs.
