Dear All,
I'm in a critical situation,My device is totally stopped working when I have tried to flash a custom ROM (I9100GJPKH8_i9100GDZKH5) to my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G but the process failed and can't go further even I'm not able to restart my device the only option to restart is to remove the battery and once i do that i got message telling me that "software update fail" and it won't allow me to go to ODIN menu.
I have searched the net for the original ROM for my device model but with no luck ( Original ROM is: I9100gzcki1_i9100gozhki1_chn)
I seek your help in order to get my device back to work.
Thank you
So you can't enter in recovery-mode? Do u have a USB-JIG?
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Yeah, I'm not able to go to recovery mode.
what is USB-JIG?
Thanks for reply
I think u will be able to get into download mode. Try to get in there and download a custom rom for I9100G and not I9100 understand and flash using Odin. Hope it will help u.

OK. If you can get into download mode (turn phone off. Then hold down the home button & the volume down button. Keep holding these down then hold down the power button), go to Sammobile & download a I9100G stock rom & flash this in Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for flashing stock roms downloaded from there.
If you can't get into download mode there's a slim chance a jig might get you into download mode.
There's a thread over in the General section where people have offered to let other people use their jigs. You might want to have a look at that thread & see if there's someone close to you who might be able to help you out rather than you buying a jig on eBay & waiting for it to turn up in the mail.
You can diy one.

If you tried to flash a custom rom ANYTHING other than Juffo rom based on DZJk2 for Gingerbread on a I9100G using odin and you cannot get into download mode... you probably soft bricked your phone.
Buy a USB-jig (basically a microUSB connected to a resistor, there are multiple videos on Youtube you can make one urself or order it online)
Insert the USB-jig into the phone while its powered off, and you should be able to get into download mode automatically.
Go find the original Stock rom and flash it back and look up how to properly backup/and root your device + using custom rom.
There are not many I9100G roms out there, theres the Juffo Rom and the Dark rom for "ICS experience" if i am correct, someone can correct me on this.
** if a USB jig does not turn your phone on or boot into download mode... and your phone is powered off... you hard bricked the phone, and should go see a JTAG service to unbrick your phone.
Galaxy rom rc3 works great. Try out with Lucifr 1.21kernel.

If Odin can detect your phone then you should be able to flash your phone with it regardless what the screen looks like.
Can you help me how to do it? I have Samsung Galaxy Gio S-5660 GT

Well you said Odin detects your phone still right? You should be able to find Odin flashable firmware for your phone and flash as usual.

If Odin detects your phone then there might be a chance to flash a new rom to your device.
Go to samfirmware.com and find an rom/firmware for your phone... Then download it and flash it using one package techinque in odin. If you need more help post your phone model, it might help for better reply ...

Go to this link and get yourself a good rom/kenel that is for your region's device. Then try to flash it using one package option in ODIN in download mode.

First of all you need to calm down.
Then you need to ask that buddy of yours exactly what he did.

Can u go into download mode ? Volume Down+ Home button + Power button ?
You dont need to go into any mode, you can connect and flash by Odin while PHONE ! PC logo is displayed, just flash it again and be more careful in what you are doing.
The trouble is you don't know what your original rom was... If your mate just flashed a new rom on without knowing what was needed he may have flashed a custom rom onto a carrier rom... This is not easily fixable if you don't know what your carrier or stock rom was...
Just because someone has flashed their phone doesn't mean they know what they're doing. If its NOT the same phone, don't hand over your rather expensive toy...
Just download SAMSUNG KIES:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Restore your phone back to stock rom.
I can't go to download mode..many time i'm trying to make it..just be like that only,when i put on charging,the screen screen still like that..hurm..anyone can explain to me,how can i do??my friend said,his friend pull out the cable from the fon when he flash the rom into fon..then when he restart fon and want go to download mode...that screen come out..and won't go to download mode..

Not Kies, use Odin.
So I was helping my friend with her China Galaxy S2 GT - I9108 and I foolishly tried to flash "GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar" onto her phone through odin...
Now it's stuck at the yellow triangle everytime when I boot up. I've bricked her 500$ phone...
Please tell me anyone, how do I make it work again?
There are chinese methods apparently but I am not chinese.... I just wish someone could provide reasonably well written instructions and DL links so I can fix her phone! Please!
Since it is apparently a Chinese only model phone, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any English websites that can help you... Maybe some Chinese sites, with Google Translate? Not perfect, but it's something.
Try to find stock firmware and flash it via odin. Google translate can help you for chinese sites.

Also, if this isn't obvious now... Don't flash any more i9100 kernels or firmwares. Only flash i9108 kernels or firmwares.
Stock?
I can't seem to find it anywhere! My brain aches from looking for the stock >< Please help? ): What would I need to do IF I found it?
Since I flashed a GT - I9100 tar file can someone link me to a tar file that is compatible with the GT - I9108?

Possibly, but don't use any of the firmwares linked within, as they are all for i9100 model phones.
Go to samfirmware.com to find stock i9108 firmwares. Download one from there, (you'll have to register but it's free) and flash using that guide. Again, don't use any files linked from the guide as they are not meant for your phone. But the steps should be the same.
EDIT: actually, don't use that guide. Just download an i9108 firmware from samfirmware.com, flash it in Odin in the PDA field, then do a factory reset. Then you should be good.
Yes Sorry, I fixed it haha

And okay I'll try that right now!

Don't worry about product code. You know you have an I9108.
The site is a tad confusing. You have to click the Firmwares tab, then click Type: Smartphone, then OS: Android, then Models: GT-I9108, then Region: Asia. That will get you a list of stock firmwares for the i9108.
Edit to add: Also, ignore the box at the bottom that says "LATEST FIRMWARES". If you notice, the models are all for a different model of phone; not the GT-I9108. The PDA for the I9108 should always start with "I9108".
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9108&r=-1#modelsa
I'm there! However theres none under the list O_O is it just my browser not loading the list? It wont show haha
Edit: NVM I forgot to click "asia"
edit 2: You reached your hourly traffic limit.
You can wait download for 13 minutes or upgrade to premium
Oh my goodness hotfile... ugh.
FYI, this may or may not be of interest to you.
I found this page using google that suggests that the i9108 uses the same SoC/chipset that the i9100G uses. Which is why you had issues when you used an i9100 kernel to try to root.
EDIT: well, you never explicitly said you were rooting, but you were flashing a kernel that had CWM Recovery in it, so I assumed you were rooting.
My phone won't enter download mode with
Volume Down home and power! What do I do?
Last thing I did was flash "I9100ZSKG2-kernel-PDA.tar" pda.....

Was that before or after I told you to go to samfirmware.com?
And when you're trying download mode, you're doing it with the phone powered off, right? Then holding Vol Down + home, then pressing power till the screen lights?
Edit: PLEASE tell me you did not flash yet another I9100 kernel, even after I told you not to.

Before ): Yup I am...
Strangely the phone only turns on when I plug it into the USB cable
Apparently the power button is working fine when USB connected.... and it keeps restarting when USB is connected too!
Edit: Restarting seems to be just when plugged into computer... so i guess its driver stuff.
On wall charger its just stuck on the boot screen

Well, during one of the boot cycles while the plug is in, try holding vol down and home. Maybe you'll get lucky. OR take out batt, hold vol down and home, (keep holding) then put battery back, and THEN press power till screen lights.
If that doesn't work, you may need to try obtaining a USB jig. You can order them on eBay or construct your own. There are instructions all over google on how to do it, but they cost like $2-3, so I just bought one.
So since it still powers on and home button works the USB jig should work right?
And flashing to stock firmware using PDA option on Odin should in theory work right?
Can you reccomend a link for a good jig? Don't wanna buy a bad one.

How to solve that
I have an S2 Hercules T989... I tried upgrading it from 2.3.6 to 4.0 but when I flashed with Odin 3.18 it gave me that error message.
I have tried four or five times reflashing it, rebooting to download mode but still it stayed like that for 1 1/2 hours...
So, I got to visit another site, I couldnt remember that actually, but it talked about on how to upgrade S3 to latest version.
There, I downloaded the latest version of Odin, too, that's v4 I think, and when I tried again (first time with that version), it worked!
You don't need to actually redownload the file, but instead, try other odin versions, recommended to download and use the latest one coz it will be the safest way to upgrade your galaxy device. Hope this helps.
Hi everyone.
i own a international samsung s3 gt-i9300T

Basics as its very difficult to understand your posts .
Download mode first screen vol up .
Open Odin
Load firmware file as PDA
Connect USB cable
First box in Odin should show yellow then hit start .

Someone who reads your post will come to the conclusion its just a user who has not followed the instructions annd may think its worth a cheap buy .
Odin is not firmware CF Root is not firmware .

Make sure that uve downloaded the correct CF-Root file (for i9300T and NOT i9300)... I think its nothing to do with SDS... Anyway try the following link and download the package again...
