Hey guys,
I have got my SGSII for 2 months now. Rooted it and got CM7 on it. It was working fine for around 1 month. Then suddendly the car mode kept turning on and off, now it doesnt charge properly. I gotta re-introduce the the cable 10 times at least until it recognizes my phone and charges it.
My pc neither recognizes it, it just charges it. Now i wanted to unflash it and put the factory rom on it. I also wanted to get a jig to reset the counter and therefore get it repaired.
Now my problem is that my pc doesnt recognize the phone, and im also not sure if the jig will do its work if the USB slot doesnt work properly. What can I do now?
Thank for help guys.
anyone please?
Help is here
I think you can use Mobile Odin (Google yoursekf) to flash Official ROM on the device without using USB. Then send your device to Samsung.
Mobile Odin flash stock rom removes root but will not reset custom rom counter .

Does the triangle away app reset the binary counter?
If so you could flash an ICS beta, use triangle away then use mobile Odin to flash back to gingerbread?

Hi Everyone, Really need help here
I (drunkenly) messed around with CWM on my phone and formatted a few partitions that I shouldn't have. Result - brick!
Had a JTAG done and it was revived and placed back onto Stock 2.3.3
Got my phone home and went to flash Litening ROM 6.1 onto it to regain root access... ODIN got about 2/3 through and failed.
Now I've got a phone that my computer's won't recognise. Windows is saying that the USB device has malfunctioned. Is there any way I can fix this without having to shell out for another JTAG repair?
When I turn on the phone I get that A....!....A looking symbol on my screen. Recovery mode does the same thing.
I can get to Download mode, but again my PC can't recognise it.
Any ideas?
try reinstalling the drivers.. That may work..

thanks, giving it a go now.
...you did mean from within Kies though right?
I'll let you know how I go.

Yes, you can uninstall kies and install it again. It worked for some users.. Make sure kies is off when flashing a new firmware..

Odin the God of rom flashing is telling you flash stock and stop playing with your phone as next time you will get Thor .

Odin the god of flashing is being a pain in my ass!
All I want is for my GS2 to be rooted and working - I still don't get how it's failed
Kies is still uninstalling...
do you have a usb jig? that normally forces it into download mode.. dirt cheap from ebay......... have a search

I can get to Download mode. Or am I missing something?
As far as I'm aware, the JIG will reset my binary counter and take me to DL mode - isn't that what Vol Down + Power + Home does?
with a JIG would my phone be more likely recognised by my PC's?
Thanks for all the reply's too by the way guys!
Okay, so I removed and reinstalled Kies - No luck
Download Mode is still showing Current Binary as Samsung Official though, so at least I can have it warranty repaired if need be.
I'm just finding it really hard to believe that it's bricked again, I've flashed heaps of ROM's to this phone without any issues. I just don't see how I could have two problems so close together.
Any other ideas?

I had an i9000 jtaged a while back and what i noticed was that when it came back from the shop it didnt have recovery mode at all.What I had to do was flash a couple of stock ROMs to get stock recovery back so I could Root it again.It took several atempts and fails too.Not having any type of recovery at the time of a flash might be what has caused the problem.Quite possible that if thats the case you will need another jtag
One thing you could try thats worked for me in the past is boot to download,plug in your phone and open Odin last.Sometimes its works.

Thanks, gave that a go and it didn't work. Tried it about 5-6 times
Is there a specific driver that can be used to allow Odin to see my phone? I've tried all that Kies has to offer and it's still coming up as unrecognisable - Windows is seeing a USB Mass Storage controller and a Bluetooth Peripheral Device, but it's unable to locate or install any drivers since the failed Flash.
I also tried the other linked thread. This didn't work either
I only spent $180 on a JTAG repair yesterday - Should've just bought my own RIFF box so that I could do it myself.

If you have access to a window xp computer give it a try, I had this issue with my captivate and my windows 7 machine wouldn't work but my old xp computer did.
An obvious and well known issue... Did you end process tree of both Kies processes in your PC's task manager?
Sorry if you have, it is all I can think of at the moment.
Sounds like it's time for you to give up flashing ROM's. Clearly someone up there doesn't like it. If your computer doesn't recognise it at all then its a faulty USB cable. So maybe that get that replaced before you demand Samsung fix your mistakes again.

Hi,
I'm using more than one cable. They seemed to both work fine too until the failed flash.
I didn't get Samsung to fix it, I took it to a mobile repair shop, I didn't demand anyone do anything either - I paid royally to have it fixed and would prefer to fix it myself than be charged again.
@jhernand1102 - I'll give this a shot now, fingers crossed!
Hello,
Well I have a slight problem with my SII.
What happened is that my USB port on the bottom of my phone got slightly damaged. My phone will charge just fine via the port but it will not connect to the computer. Windows just says that it can't see the device (Yes, I have reinstalled the drivers, other SIIs work just fine, and my Note is fine too - I have also used a selection of cables) The phone also can't see the computer, all that is does is charge.
I am currently running a custom ROM which I will need to remove for when Samsung take my device away. Luckily I have CWM installed on my phone so I can flash it on the fly via that.
My question is, where can I get stock ROM which I can flash in CWM and get an insecure kernel in which I can just my home made JIG to get rid of the boot count...
Or is this impossible without using odins; in which case I guess I am screwed!
Mobile Odin
You can use Mobile Odin to flash stock firmware.
...
Thank you both - I am using Mobile odins. Thanks!!
Having a problem with my SG3’s micro USB port.
Basically, it will only charge intermittently when plugged into the wall or PC, and the PC USB connection is completely dead; I can’t even connect it via Odin when download mode is enabled. I’m on a stock firmware but the flash counter is 1 (had root enabled, isn’t now) so my warranty is void I believe. I need some way of enabling root again so I can use triangle away to reset the flash counter and have it repaired under warranty, but without being able to make a connection to the PC... am I a bit stuffed?
I have the SGS3 White on Three (UK).
Any thoughts, tips, ideas much appreciated.
--update - ok I can use wifi file explorer to put files onto the device - is there anyway to get root back without having to use odin?
Anyone???

Hello all, I have a GS3 international GT-I9300
I'll try to go through the story as fast as I can and give as much detail so you guys can understand how I got here.
Bought the phone unlocked, I was stock, I rooted and then I decided to install a new ROM. I went with Resurrection Remix, it was working great. I did this on a desktop back home. They released a new update to RR so I did a OTA update with "Update Me" apparently the thing flashed but it didn't, the phone still worked but NFC wasn't working as well as having lost root access and some other stuff wasn't working correctly, but I lived with it.
I moved to Florida (home is in NY) and I have a laptop with me, for some reason my laptop used to be able to transfer files to my S3, but it wasn't doing it any more after a while. So it would just charge it. I was in a hotel room last week trying to tether via USB but the PC wasnt having it, it could not locate the phone. This week I moved to a different hotel with internet and decided I would flash stock on my S3 to get rid of all these bugs and get root again, I tried flashing stock through recovery and it wasn't going, so I tried flashing RR again (this time downloaded from the site RR site) and it worked. Still no USB connection but I had root back. I looked around my PC and apparently the Samsung drives are not installing or something on my PC. I installed Kies, but nothing, I tried a stand alone driver install and nothing, so I just gave up and bought Mobile Odin pro from Gplay to try to flash again.
Mobile Odin for some reason (I blame it on myself) wasn't finding/flashing stock so again I decided to try and flash RR and see what would happen. It flashed RR and turned on fine. Then I just decided to look for an NFC fix on XDA. Once I found my NFC fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029713&postcount=8367) I decided to just copy the files to the system folder, NFC still not working, rebooted and NFC still no working, so I figured I would try to flash the fix through mobile odin seeing as how I can't get my PC to pick up on the USB. I tried flashing but MO just kept bouncing it back and re-booting into RR. Tried again and no flash. So I decided to again try and flash stock. I tried going into Recovery, the phone shut off like it always does, came back on but stayed in the Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 logo and would not move. I shut it off again, tried turning it on again and still stuck on the galaxy logo. Now, if I leave the phone off and plug in the USB, it won't show the battery charging image, it will actually turn straight onto the galaxy logo again and stay there. I can get the phone into download mode, but like I said my pc won't recognize the drivers.
Now, here are my questions:
What happened?
Can this be fixed?
Am I an idiot?
If I can get the drivers installed on another PC as well as Odin (1.85), will the new PC "see" the S3 or are the drivers on the phone deleted as well? (if that sort of thing can happen, idk.)
I'm going to see if I can borrow a buddy's PC and download the drivers as well as odin to try and bring my S3 back to life, I just want to know, what happens if I can't get the other PC to pick it up ether because the drivers on the phone are deleted (if that's a thing) or what I can expect if it is connected.
What are the steps or guides to follow here? I just got it into Download mode and it says on the top of the screen:
ODIN MODE
Product name: GT-I9300
Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
sorry , i am sometime getting headache reading long english text so i just briefly look over.
your PC doesn't recognize your S3 ? is that correct ? hmmm , is it possible that your PC (Microsoft Windows I assume?) system is damaged due to something like virus or some reasons ? i have encountered that kinda problem before and be OK after i reinstalled the system.
If it's a soft brick, then it can defiantly be fixed. You might, however, lose your data along the process.
Be glad it's not hard bricked
It happened to me many times, USB error "unknown device" connected. Only fix for it was reinstalling Windows so better if you can use different PC or laptop. Install Kies and other USB drivers. Restart computer, download and run Odin v 3.0x. Flash your phone.
If this doesn't work then maybe your phone have a problem with USB port?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll try to fix tit today, I didn't get a chance to do it last night. If anything I'll update you guys with what's going on.
Like I was saying, I'll try using a different PC to fix it. Now, if I can't get Odin to recognize the phone, what would be the next step?
Hello
I have a bit of a problem with my SGS2.
After updating to 4.1.2 from 4.0.3 it just died after 24 hours.
It doesn't go into recovery mode ( i had clockwork recovery)
It get stuck on SGS2 Logo when i try to boot it.
I can go into Download mode, but my PC won't detect it so i can flash it again with Odin.
Now, i tried to connect with a dozen cables, 5 different PCs, i even went to a GSM Service and had the usb module changed.
Still doesn't work or is unseen by my PC or any of the others PCs i have at hand.
I have all needed drivers installed. Other SGS2 can be detected by my PC and any other Android devices i tried so far.
Now in download mode it says:
Product Name :GT-i9100
Custom Binary Download: Yes (3 counts)
Current Binary: Custom.
I've tried some soft bricks solution to see if i can get it to work, but no luck so far since Odin is unable to detect my phone.
I understand i might have NAND rw corruption, but i didn't fully understand what that is and how to fix it.
What can i do to unbrick this phone or fix it?
Thanks in advance
Is your phone an I9100? Check under the battery.
Try other odin versions.
And tell us exactly what have you tried to flash.
Sent from the little guy
Yes, my phone is GT-i9100 for sure.
I've successfully flashed from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 using CWM and i as i said the in previous post, the phone just stopped working after 24 hours or so.
After that i tired to flash the same 4.1.2 with Odin, to get it to work, but my phone couldn't be detected by any PC.
I tried with Odin 1.85 and 3.04, same thing with both of the versions.
There are a lot of 4.1.2 ROMs.
Sent from the little guy
I don't which 4.1.2 ROM i used at the moment, I'm at work, i have all the info i need on my PC home.
But i still can't understand why my USB is not working, do you have any idea?
It could be anything, but your pc will see your device, that's for sure.
