Hi bro. Are you able to gain control of the physical keys. Hold down "volume down", "home button" and "power button".....
Get into the "downloading" screen and download odin (v1.8) and well, reflash the new stock rom

Theres also a guide for rooting the "G" version..
Before you do all this, format your entire phone while charging....
Maybe it might just do the trick>>>
can you show give me a link on how i can root a G version GDZKL3 ??? i really wish i didnt upgrade to KL3 shold've stayed at GDZKJ2, cause i found root for that, but no for GDZKL3 !

i hav rooted my samsung galaxy s2 gt-i9100g to update it ICS through odin3 . but unfortunately in odin it came fail... so i disconnected it removed the battery and put it again and started restarting the phone but to my badluck there's dat symbol comin in the middle of the phone that is phone caution symbol and pc. i cant understand wat to do. i m a nooob so plz help me out i cant send it to warranty as well because i have rooted it wid custom rom. if there is a way for me to get it back to stock plz help me out!!!
ICS? are you sure the rom was for 'G' version only? Are you able to enter download mode?
no problem just flash any stock firmware
connect to pc via usb and flash
The thing is i cant get it to download mode at all. whenever i try connecting it to my lappy i get that mobile,caution and pc symbom. i dont even know if it is charging also. so how can i get it into download mode?
hey konetibharath
that symbol means forced download mode so just get any stock rom and flash it for your i9100g.remember if you connect your moblie to pc when it is on and shows that symbol,odin will detect your phone and just flash stock rom.and be thankful that odin failed at flashing if it didnt you would have hard bricked your device.never try and flash i9100 roms on i9100g.and last thing there is NO ics update for i9100g.be careful when flashing roms,make sure that the rom you are flashing is for your device.

Dude, you want to post crap like this put it in general or Q&A, This section is for posting of developments and reference only. All your questions have already been answered and you would find the info if you just bothered to use search or browse through topics.
Asking questions like "how do I enter download mode" is just ridiculous.

What did you actually do to get your phone into its current state?
On top of that,
What model is the phone? (i9100, i9100G, i9100T, etc)
model is i9100 now its in the state total off no screen on nor working recovery or download mode i put off battery two hours
Your inability to answer simple questions leads me to suggest that you should contact Samsung. We cannot help you.

Good luck getting any more help.
You can try to get into Download mode using USB Dongle Jig.
If not, JTAG is the only way to unbrick. Unbrivk with JTAG costs about 50$ in my country. It will totaly reflashe the rom (bootloader, kernel, etc.).

after j tag reflash can i root the fone as a normal fone and plz guide me fone is running nomal like the others genuine galaxy s2.
Plz help me,
I was trying to root with siyah.
i followed manual
-Installed Kies on mine Windows 7
-download ODIN and latest siyah
-started odin and browse for siyah v3.4.tar in PDA slot
- started S2 in download mode and connected via Data cable
- after reboot i have yellow triangle (warning sign)
I know that this sometimes happens after rooting
BUT WHATEVER I DO I CAN'T PASS THAT SCREEN
I try to remove battery but after i put it back and switch on SAME THING.
Cant start it in download mode
Computer don't recognize it anymore so i cant root with some other kernel.
I CANT EVEN SWITCH IT OFF!!!!!
Thing that worries me is when i connected S2 in download mode damn Windows 7 has automatically installed some driver but ODIN has recognize it after finished driver update
1) Remove the f word from your post before mods see it & ban you.
2) If you really can't get into download mode, your last chance before you send it off to Samsung is a jig. Probably won't work, but worth a try. You never know.

You didn't heed this very sound advice, did you?
Ok. In order for anyone to help you, you must provide a lot more information than you do.
Model number of phone? (GT-i9100? GT-i9100G? GT-i9100M/P/T? SGH-i777? SPH-D710? SGH-T989?)
Current firmware of phone? (is it GB? ICS? Siyah 3.4 is meant for ICS. If you flashed it onto a phone that has 2.3.6 or lower, that could be your issue)

Ok, that is your issue. Siyah kernels are for i9100 phones. NOT for i9100G phones.
I find it hard to believe this would now prevent you from getting to download mode though.
Do this:
- take out battery
- hold vol down, home and power buttons, and keep holding
- put battery back in
This should get you to download mode.
Then flash a kernel actually meant for an i9100G. (look for one in the i9100G development subsection)
Then, here's something key for you: stick to firmwares, kernels, and ROMs ONLY MEANT for the i9100G.
i9100G has a different SoC/chipset than the i9100, so these things are not compatible between the two devices.

Cite where you read this information please. As stated, because of SoC/chipset differences, I don't know of ANY kernels that support both the i9100 and i9100G.

If you don't know what firmware version you were on, then I'd just start over at this point, and flash a stock i9100G firmware. This will get you back to Gingerbread.
Then you can do whatever you want, but again, make sure you stick to G-variant firmwares, kernels and ROMs.
I will try.
Tnks for helping stupid guy who try to flash android phone like Windows Mobile 6.5.3
PS.
I noticed that i9100 have much larger support then i9100G.
is it then safe to say that I9100 is better then I9100G, and i was cheated since i told in the store that i wanna buy I9100 ??

In response to your PM (that you sent twice, for some reason...) that asked:

Click to expand...

I wouldn't say the I9100 is necessarily BETTER than the I9100G, but I think that's a matter of opinion.
It benchmarks a little better due to the Exynos processor in the I9100 running a tad faster than the OMAP in the I9100G, but I've heard that for the most part, real world performance differences are hard to notice, and the I9100G runs cooler.
The I9100 has been available for longer, so as a result there has been more development for it, but since the I9100G has an OMAP (which is also the processor the Galaxy Nexus has), porting has somewhat recently (in the last few months) picked up for the G-variant. (CM9 is in nightlies for the I9100G)

That was the problem.
Your kernel has brick bug, it's being said 1 million times but you did not read it or ask questions before messing around with your device.
I'm afraid your device may be hard bricked.
I'm sorry.
Let's see what can be done.
If you can get to download mode with combined buttons or usb jig then visit this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841099

If it's hard bricked there is nothing us users can do to get the phone back but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for Samsung to realize what you've done

And people say Samsung has a bad customer service, Samsung FTW
The easiest way to Root your phone is probably the Chainfire Root, which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
It`s very important that you read the instructions there on how to Root your phone.
It´s a great method because it gives you Root and Clockworkmod in one package and you will keep your stock Kernel.
After that you can install any Rom or Kernel you want but it`s highly recomended to not install any Kernel with the Hard Brick Bug. Read this thread for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
If you really want to remove the triangle there is a mod from chainfire, called TriangleAway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
but I would recommend not to do it, since people also managed to screw that up (bricking their phone), I mean is it really so disturbing to see the Triangle for 2 seconds everytime you reboot?
Good Luck
i updated my galaxy S2 i9100 to official ics rom than rooted it via odin , than flashed a custom kernel and successfully entered to the clockwork mod then wiped data and my screen went black and my phone is dead :crying: .. . .
i tried to go to download mode and recovery but no response from the device the computer cant seems find the device while connected to the PC .. no response from the device when connected to the charger

i did this to my device almost 2 week ago and upgraded my HDD so unfortunately i don't have the back up and can't remember the kernel version or which file i used to root it
maybe luck is not on my side after all ... .
Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......
Which brings me to my next question.......
Ignoring the fact that you rooted (this is now undetectable) are you under warranty?
Samsung are aware that *some* of their phones will fail if a wipe or kies update is performed on them. So as long as you tell them........
'I tried to update with kies and then the phone switched off and wouldn't switch on again'
then they *should* repair the phone under warranty.
Just DON'T mention XDA or rooting or odin or brickbug......or anything else like that and you should be ok.....

Had the same problem with my old s2.The phone doesn't boot into recovery or download mode if the battery is dead,Make sure the battery is alright and try again.I had to replace my battery.
If all is well,then its EMMC brick.

Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......
Which brings me to my next question.......
Ignoring the fact that you rooted (this is now undetectable) are you under warranty?
Samsung are aware that *some* of their phones will fail if a wipe or kies update is performed on them. So as long as you tell them........
'I tried to update with kies and then the phone switched off and wouldn't switch on again'
then they *should* repair the phone under warranty.
Just DON'T mention XDA or rooting or odin or brickbug......or anything else like that and you should be ok.....

If it is the emmc brickbug (and it's looking like it is) not even samsung can bring that main board back to life...sorry mate. ..

Painful indeed . . .. . .. .
was there anything i could have done to prevent this .. . ????
From what I can tell 4.0.4 was the problem. Soon as you factory reset the phone dies. Sam knows about this that makes it even worst. Sorry to hear about your dead s2

Stay well away from 4.0.4 firmware and factory reset. Even with a custom kernel I think is a bad move to stay on it.

at least its good to know that its not my fault . . .. tnx bro. . .:good:
Some will say its your fault for not reading. Not me this is a dirty samsung problem and they should of recalled ALL the faulty handset's as I think they are faulty and pull the 4.0.4 from every were. Can I ask were did you get that firmware from?
