I am having a unique problem with my s2 .. Here's what happened :
I was on 2.3.6 firmware ( rooted) and my device was not recognized neither by kies nor odin .. So to upgrade to ice cream sandwich .. I've put the rom.md5 on the internal card .. And flashed using mobile odin .. Since then .. The phone switches on and keeps the screen on samsung logo .. Then the screen is black .. I made a factory reset .. Tried to connect the phone to my computer but it's still unknown .. What should I do ?!!!!!
Can you reboot in clockwork mod recovery?
Yeh .. And tried all options there
Someone else also had that same problem with mobile odin. I think you just have to flash it from pc. And if you can get in to cwm, then you can restore nandroid backup (i'm assuming you backed up your rom) and flashing ics from desktop odin. Remember to factory reset after flashing ics.
And for the problem your pc not seeing your phone, there's plenty of information how to get proper drivers for kies/odin on this site.
Anyone correct me if i'm wrong.

If you have a rom or a back up on you sd card, reboot in recovery and flash a rom or restore a rom

odin is working ,cwm mode is working and even downloading mode is working.
this problem happened after i flashed slim ics rom yesterday 29-4-2012 on my i9100. the main problem behind it is that i'm not able to factory reset the phone.
whenever i try to factory reset my phone in cwm mode or recovery mode,my phone hangs.
i can format my phone through system /format.
i can wipe cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats.
i flashed many roms and kernels but even after flashing any rom or any kernel in my phone ,it doesnt work.
i installed these firmware and tried so that my phone starts working -
with odin
cm9
stock ics

lightening rom
through cwm recovery mode
slim ics
thebyani
resurrection roms
dynamic rom
hydrogen rom
kernels -:

after any thin i flash only see is the GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 logo on my screen.
please guys tell me a way out..
if i flash a rom on my phone then binary count is not increasing but when i install a kernel then it increases. why so?
i can format ,mount ,unmount anything on phone but i cant format the user data or do a factory reset while doing that my phone hangs.
i even tried .PIT file with repartition ticked in the odin.
please tell me as if there is any hardware problem or just a normal problem?

my phone says
cant access to /system/csc/SEK/system/'. in recovery
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ???

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .

i did that.

when i flash gb rom then after flashin there is a installation process in the phone in which it says that cant open data/recovery_log. something like this.
it happens so fast that i couldn't read that.

Nooooooooooooo wait wait wait,don't ever touch pit files and repatition
i would try it but i hope it won't make your problems worse ...
[edit]
ok then not ...
Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

Probably you have bricked it. Try unbricking it. Search the forum for it.
Nothing happened
first thaank u for ur reply , i tried bricking it using one-click brick i did all required stuff (samsung driver , istalling java, ...)till i dont have any error messages but when i tried to unbrick it, it said failed although my phone on dowloading mode .
Do u think it may work if i tried to load new Rom as we do on updating using odin program ?
what do u think ?

What cwm and bootloader do you have installed?? you need the 6.1..... cwm and the ICS bootloader from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
And yes you can go back to stock ics by using odin, wipe data/cashe/dalvik and then flash the cwm in odin, the bootloader in odin, kernel isn't needed because it's a build-in kernel and then the ROM
Thanks 4 ur reply sir...i used CWM 5.8. and i didnt installed bootloader.sry i dont know sme technical terms.i updated official ics from samsung .and rooted by odin.
Can u give/post the link for 6.1cwm????whether i install any kernel separately???
and also my tab not booting .It always shows Samsung galaxy Tab p750 neither start nor off

For cwm 6.1, download the recovery.tar and the bootloader4_0_4, flash it on odin on the PDA section, BUT ONLY USE CM10 with THIS!!!! Also download the ROM and also flzdh this under PDA
you can find stock ics firmware on http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ stock firmware should revert everything, unroot/unbrick

did i skipped somthing??
what should i do??
i read lots of threads n still dnt kno wat to do.
please..........
Your description of what you've done is no help.
Download the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile.com, flash using odin then factory reset.
Follow the guide in general forum, sticky threads.

Are you just wanting stock 4.3 for your I9300 or are you wanting a custom rom for the I9300?
If its just stock then yes as @boomboomer says you need to download latest firmware via sammobile or alternative site (there is even a collection on xda i believe) and flash this via odin.
If you want to go the custom rom root however to get the most from your device then all you would need to do is to download the rom of your choice and put on your phone, from there get latest TWRP or CWM recovery (depending on your preference) flash this via odin (in pda), then boot into recovery and flash the rom as per the Dev's instructions
Hope you get your phone to the rom/firmware you want
oki il be short for those who didnt understand..i have installed 4.3 in my i9300..now i want to install another version of the 4.3.i tried but it remained on the previous intalled one even though i tried via odin mates..wat can i do????

Seems Like uve Followed the instructions correctly but the recovery you are using is outdated OR The .zip Rom file that u have downloaded is corrupted. Try The Following:
1) Enter CWM and flash this recovery, Its the latest Philz Touch Edition of CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/orig-development/i93xx-philz-touch-t2002953
As u said Phone isnt booting then u can place the zip file of philz externally in ur external sd and flash from there.
After u flash Philz touch REINSTALL the rom following the same steps as u did earlier or as some of the members suggested u and see what happens.
2) IF 1 Doesnt work den redownload the rom put it in ur SD and Reflash
I'm Sure one of the Above 2 has to work
