Hi. I have a SGS2 for 6 months, and yesterday I tried to update from 2.3.5 to 4.0.3 ICS. I used Odin -> vol- -> home button -> power to get into download mode and did all those stuff. [It was the official Poland md5 file, no root]
It didn't work, getting everytime boot.ini error. After that, I tried exactly what's on the bootloop topic and then here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 to get back on my 2.3.5. Everytime I got the samsung logo and yellow triangle [only when I used the stock kernel], others md5 file over 250mb never flashed/ passed odin.
+ the symptoms below
Enters Download mode but does NOT enter recovery mode (usually means a NAND rw corruption)
Doesn't flash
Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)
I checked every USB port, uninstalled kies but not the usb drivers, used 2 different cables and only rear usb panels. Tried different firmwares for i9100, like 12 or something.
Now my battery died, [low battery!! can't download..]. I don't have any other i9100, so no other battery.
What can I do now beside praying that it's not broken?
One USB recovery jig to force download mode
Two Paid for JTag repair
Three Paid for service centre repair.
Four Donate a brick to the new XDA building .
jje
I'm able to enter in the download mode. Assuming I get a charged battery, what should I do next?
Last time I used stock 'Kernel_I9100XWLA4' and that yellow triangle appeard + 'GT-I9100_DBT_I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1', but this one failed.
Do I really need to take every update and see if it works on my phone?

Flash a stock GB firmware do not flash ICS .
Get the phone in working order is the first step .

I just downloaded the official gingerbread [2.3.4 september - i9100] firmware from samfirmware.com.
still doesn't work. stuck at boot.bin
l.e.
all these problems after I watched and did everything I saw on a youtube video [How to Unroot/Unbrick your Galaxy S2 i9100! [ICS]]
Now I got a battery charged up, I can use download mode, flash any stock kernel [but stuck at loading with yellow triangle], and never flashed an official update [2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6 or 4.0.3] stuck at boot.bin
I also found on another forum someone with the same problem on a i9100G. He used a pit file and repartition, but after all researching everyone says it is some risky way.
You said you tried 2 different cables... I would buy a brand new cable (can be generic microUSB) and try again. I've seen more than one person have to try three before they found one that worked.
The second usb cable was from a friend with an identical i9100. still tried with some no-name cable and no result.. also I installed usb drivers from samfirmware and tried different rear usb ports.
Now I flashed Kernel_I9100XWKI4. It shows Samsung logo and yellow triangle. If I try to flash any other firmware, it just fails.
You using a Windows 7 machine? Try running Odin as administrator. And I would STILL try a different, DIFFERENT cable.
yes, w7. tried to run it as administrator, still no result.
I don't think usb cable is the problem.
OK, but I'm just saying, there was a thread where someone had to try three cables before they found one that worked. I'd also try a different computer. Unless that computer/cable combination works with your friend's I9100?
hi,
i am new to this forum.
Only after buying the G-version of S2 in India and using it for a few weeks, I came to know that it was an inferior version to the non-G version (in the sense that it is not only under-clocked but has far lesser custom ROMs to choose for the updates).
I might sound silly, but AFAIK, there is no official Samsung ICS for this product. I don't want to get my phone bricked and I can't find a proper ICS Custom ROM either. From what I've been reading elsewhere, the Samsung Official ICS for S2-I9100G won't be released before May (After Galaxy Note in April)
Can somebody suggest me a STABLE ICS ROM for this device? And yes, you'd have already gathered by now, I am a newbie when it comes to the complicated issues of rooting/flashing/and what not.
Thanks in advance.
I read about villainrom 1.1, tried to flash it now but after 3 minutes of loading it failed. Now I'm back on stock Kernel_I9100XXKI3.
I don't know if that second usb cable was used for any updates through odin.

For an I9100G? There isn't one yet.
And it's rude to try to hijack someone else's thread, dude.
I solved it!!!!
Congratulations
Would you care to share the solution to the rest of us?
I chose randomly 'Kernel_I9100JPKF3' from a list [probably I should've checked that this was the very official version of my phone] and flashed it with some i9100 odin version from an arabic website/blog. After the reboot, I saw there was no triangle and it booted normally.
Thanks ctomgee and jje for your time!
Happy for you that you have solved your problem
Best idea, if youy have problems go back to stock, SHIPPED rom.... Never failed me yet...
yep. now I see that the wireless connection is not as stable as it was before. It has lots of moments when it's disconnected from wifi by itself.
I'm not using any battery life saver and the router is fine.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
If you have the heart to venture that route again, to fix wifi issue you may want to use the ultimate kernel cleaning script and retry with the shipped or ICS kernels.
Also if you haven't yet, must read the guide to fixing unflashable soft-bricked phones.

Hi altogether,
i have an SGS2 and got an ofer to upgrade firmware via kies. I didnt flash or root anything with this phone yet.
After flashing the phone via kies i only get the problem picture: Phone-yellowtriangle-PC. AFAIK this is the sign you get, when the bootladers are corrupted. Am i right?
NEvertheless download mode is accessable, so i downloaded a stock firmware from this site and tried to flash it via odin. It connects, starts to flash, but wont go further than SBL1 for over 10 minutes. then i stopped flashing. I tried the same with just the kernel and it flashed correctly, and the phone restarts, but just to the SGS2-screen with a yellow triangle at the bottom. No further for over 30 minutes, so i canceled that too...
Any suggestions, how i can rescue the phone? Data is not important, i just want to get it running again...
try to use the files from the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
edit:
in addition try to preform a full wipe if the data is not important (will delete all data including the contacts)
Also make sure NO Kies related processes are running (Taskmanager -> "End Process" everything that even remotely sounds like anything containing "Kies").
Connect phone to another USB port and do not use a USB hub, connect the phone directely to the PC.
Maybe that helps a bit....
Thank you for your fast answer, but that is the guide i used first to flash a stock firmware. I maybe should have mentioned it. And thats the way it didnt work.
Just the single kernel worked out to cause a little positive result. But only seeing the start screen (not even bootlogo, and no further) is not what a phone should do.

Hope someone can help. Recovery is accessable too?
As it was Kies i would take to a service centre .

Disable USB debugging and try again.
Be sure that KIES (and any of KIES' processes) is not running on your PC.
If that does not help, try to use another USB port and/or USB cable.
(Just to check that this is not the cause of the issue.)
If you have still problems with your phone, you may have to flash a stock ROM back to your phone.
You should use the latest, stable and official version, i.e. XWKJ3.
You can get a non-wipe installation in Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Just have a look at first post for description and download the Frankenstein version for XWKJ3 from third post.

Are you actually in download mode when trying to flash?
As you mention the "USB Debug" option, it sounds like you're in fully booted up system.
- Power off the phone
- Hold VOLUME-DOWN + HOME + POWER until the download mode appears
Then use Odin

Thank You soo much...! I have being pulling my hair for 2 hours for not getting the rooting done, and Your answer nailed it..
I pressed ctrl+shift+esc and ended all Kies processes, and then I changed USB port, and BAM! The rooting went through..! I also had an USB extender when I failed, so I also connected my SGS2 directly to my PC using only 1 cable.. Anyways, thanks again, AND LONG LIVE THE NOO8$...!! xD
Now I just have another head ache, when rooting, the infamous yelow triangle appeared, and according to the link below, You could get rid of that by flashing and original ROM, but that got rid of my CF Rooting too, I guess.. SuperUsers and CWM was gone, also after an reboot...
Well, that's for another thread, I guess.. ,)

I found out what I did wrong, I found out that I was supposed to flash an original KERNEL after rooting in order to get rid of the triangle, and I was mislead to DL an original ROM.. That's why SuperUsers and CWM disappeared.. After DL and flash of the original stock kernel, it worked like a charm
I used:
XWKI8 Stock Kernel: Download

From this thread with stock ROMS and KERNELs:

NB!
When rooting / flashing, You may xperience that Your apps / widgets disappears. A reboot will bring them back, so if You wanna play safe, prepare for alot of rebooting when rooting / flashing
Picked this thread up since I'm facing the same problem right now.
I've read enough to know what to do to get it working.
But there's something that I don't dare to do right now.
I don't dare to just kill odin and disconnect the usb cable.
Anyways I'm stuck at zImage and nothing is happening.
Can I just disconnect the usb cable without getting a brick?
Quick answers would be appreciated by the way, since I'm messing with a friends device right now :silly:

I use heimdall personally. Never had any problems with it. Do you have all the sgs2 drivers installed?
Also check md5 sums to make sure your download is ok.
Sent from my SGH-I777
I'll try heimdall. Drivers should be fine as kies is installed. Rom should be good as I've tried 2 different download sources
Make sure you install the libusb drivers for heimdall before flashing. The instructions are in the heimdall readme. Good luck
Sent from my SGH-I777
Just wanted to post that my problem is solved.
Summary: My AT&T Galaxy SII showed an error on boot (software upgrade failed. connect to kies...). Kies wouldn't even recognize the device so that route was a no go. So as everyone's recommended method of last resort, I decided to flash the device back to stock via odin. I entered download mode (volume up + volume down and plug in usb) and Odin would recognize the device, I would load the stock rom in the PDA slot and hit start and it would begin normally, but it would always fail after a few seconds on 'NAND write start', or 'factoryfs.img'. So I got a 1 click download solution using odin for reverting my phone back to stock. Same thing, it would recognize the phone, but stall out and fail. I also tried flashing clockworkmod via odin but and same problem. People recommended I try heimdall. It would recognize my device, and then fail after 'kernel 100%'.
I tried both programs on 3 different computers, and must have tried 12 different USB slots amongst all of them. I'm fairly handy with this stuff and I worked for hours on it.
xtra info: I had successfully used odin on my computer to flash a kernel just a week ago so I know my stock usb cable was working etc...
Resolution: So I hung my head and drove to the ATT store. After pressing a few buttons on the device and not getting anywhere they sent me to a nearby Device Support Center. I told the girl at the counter that my phone booted to this error screen and that connecting it to Kies did nothing. She asked if it was ok that in the case that she couldn't fix it she would offer me a replacement. I said that was fine and after 10 minutes in the back room she came out with a replacement (free of charge).
Well that was the good news. For the bad news, unfortunately I still don't know how to fix the problem I had, and don't really know how to avoid it in the future. I thought phone's could only get truly bricked if you messed with PIT files and such. There didn't seem to be anything more I could do than flash with odin or heimdall as those were already last resorts. I know I had the right files, the right drivers, and working usb. No matter how crazy I got with my iphone, a full restore was only a click away by plugging in to iTunes. Somehow I messed up my phone so bad that even the device support center couldn't fix it....? Shouldn't have had to be like that.
Thank yous: Thanks to ATT for having a walk-in store and for so easily offering up a replacement. Thanks to the many people on the web who offered remedies.
tl;dr - phone broke, att replaced, still a mystery

Hi there
Check your usb connections please, one of the most common and unmentioned problems with ODIN is that it doesnt like being connected through hubs or non usb2 ports, i failed with odin quite a few times, until i disconnected my phone from the usb hub and connected it directly to the pc usb2 port, everything was fine after that.
Odin doesnt usually fail, what files are you flashing, is the firmware a 1 file package or multiple files with a .pit file??
If its 1 file, make sure you untick repartition.
Odin is solid, i would ask you to go away and check all the above, use odin 1.83 which is the best version i found, then try again, also check your lead, sometimes cheap usb leads are designed for charging and not syncing.
Good luck
---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
also the black screen mode is because the flash failed, you need to re enter download mode, and reflash until you get a pass, if it fails again, check md5 sums or download a generic s2 firmware and try again, its not bricked dont worry, as long as you do it right it will be fine.
thank for ur info.
anyway to get the hell out of the black scren??..
i connot re-enter the download mode... keep stuck in the black screen with a phone connecting to a computer with a yellow triangle warning sign!..
Can u get into clockworkmod recovery?
Press Home+volume up+ power key until you get to cwm recovery.
And yes you probably connected your phone through a hub or usb1 port.
If nothing else works you'll need a jig to restart into download mode. Try and look for the jig thread on general sgs2 forum for free locations.
That's forced download mode I.E. it's forcing you to flash something. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware or Checkfus & flash it with Odin.
Absolutley these guys are right, even if your flash has failed you should still be able to enter download mode, are you sure you cant, VOLUME DOWN, MIDDLE BUTTON AND POWER BUTTON, keep them all held down and it will boot to DL Mode, every time mine got a fail i still got to dl mode no problem.
Failing that yer, get a jig, usually they come from singapore, so if you cant wait that long pop to an electronics store, buy the resistors you need and a micro usb plug and make one, i made one yesterday and it cost me £1.40 to make, although its a makeshift for emergencies, it will do until the one ive ordered arrives.
Keep trying dl mode, no reason to not get into it.

^This.
Also, OP, make sure you are flashing an I9100G firmware, and NOT an I9100 firmware. Likely that was the cause of your predicament in the first place, as that is the common cause of this screen being reached.
That sounds like a brick software, I get some like this time ago

tried to flash the phone from ODIN and failed, most probably he done it wrong. The only thing the phone does is displaying an icon in the middle of the screen with a phone and a PC and an exclamation point in between them. I can`t get it to enter in download mode (volume down+home+power) and I can`t start it eather. It just stays at that icon. Kies is not recognizing the phone although the drivers are installed. When I pluged the phone for the first time in the PC it automatically instaled 2 drivers and that was it. Is it bricked? I haven`t seen this before.
The phone is an SGS 2 model GT-I9100G, ssn I9100GGSMH.
I hav downloaded 2 official firmware, 2.3.6 and 4.0 .. all is Malaysia..
flash so many times and keep failing..

Depends on what you have already tried flashing since you originally got into this mess in the first place.
If you started blindly flashing stuff for any which device, it's possible you have borked your device to the point where your PC will no longer detect it.
Say, if you tried flashing a Fascinate ROM or similar to a Vibrant.
I'm just guessing that's what happened, because you started this thread in the Fascinate forum.
The Fascinate and the Vibrant are two completely different models of phones. The Fascinate is the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S, and is a CDMA phone. You have a Telus version of the Vibrant, which is a GSM phone.
So if you flashed something out of the Fascinate forum to your SGH-T959D Vibrant, you likely caused this issue yourself. And why are you in the I9100 forum trying to solve your problem?
Go to the Vibrant forum for your problem with your Vibrant phone.

dont worry.. i also encountered with the same problem.. connect ur phone as it is to the pc and open odin of latest version. and flash its stock rom using PDA.. the phone will come back to normal.:good:
Hello,
I am new to the S2 forum. I have purchased the phone on Dec 04. It came with firmware version 4.0.4.
The PDA was I9100XWLPW and CSC was I9100ODDLPC.
After a week, I flashed the leaked JB firmware XXLSJ and used PhilZ cwm6 kernel to obtain root.
I was not having any problems until today.
I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!
Edit: Samsung service has replaced the mother board!!
Doing the pit partition has resulted in my phone getting bricked!!
So people new to the forum, never do it :laugh:
Hi,
You said you couldn't access download mode, but can you access CWM recovery?
If you can then, you should wipe data/factory set, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik-cahe. after that you should re-flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, maybe you should restore your CWM/Nandroid backup of your ROM before you flashed the JB leak XXLSJ, which in this case seems to be Stock ROM. (providing that you have backed it up in the first place)
Greetz and Happy new year

I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!

We already have plenty of topics about this why do you feel the need to create another? Your symptoms are no different to others and the answers are no different.
If you cant access download or recovery and cant power on then try a USB jig. If that doesnt work then you will need to take/send it for repair which will either be JTAG or complete mobo replacement.
Just because you create your own topic it doesnt mean answer is going to be any different.

HI,
today I wake up with the same problem.(Bug from the junary 1st???). I'm on Leak 4.1.2 too
Mi Galaxy sII don't charge the batery (loop from charge batery symbol) All the combination button don't wake up the phone.
The only thing seem working is the download mode. Don't try to connect to ODIN for the moment.
Any idea?

If you can access download mode, use it. Try re-flashing your kernel.

I am sorry!! I am new to this forum and the phone being a recent purchase, i was very much desperate!!
I know the answer may not be different and the problem may not be new hence I've asked to guide me to the appropriate thread in my post!! No offence!!
Thanks for your reply. I will be taking the phone to Samsung Service tomorrow.

3 100k resistors + 1k resistor in series connected between 4 and 5 pins of a male usb end when plugged will get you into download mode in case of soft bricks .

In some of the posts, I've read that a JIG may not work on ICS based roms!!
Is this true?? Should I try a JIG first before I take the phone to Samsung Service??
I was on XXLSJ before the phone went dead!!

I had the same problem.. I could get into the download mode by:
1. Phone completely OFF state
2. Connect the USB cable to the phone and PC ( The battery charging indication has to come, atleast once )
3. Fire up ODIN
4. Get the phone into download mode ( Vol-down+home+Power ) while the phone is connected
5. The phone is now recognized by ODIN.
I could flash a kernel (tried siyah and Philz) but the phone was not booting.
While trying to flash Stock and XXLSJ, ODIN was getting failed at factoryfs.fs
After a few trys, the phone just went dead!!
Hope you can flash a firmware successfully :good:

You are misinterpreting what you read. What you're referring to is resetting the binary counter, and no it doesn't work on ICS bootloader however it still works for putting device into download mode (unless its bricked).

"Soft-brick" has absolutely no meaning, Your device is either "bricked" or it isnt. Its a made up term by n00bs when they cant get system to boot normally. Your devcie is only bricked when it wont power on or go into useable recovery+download modes. If you can simply use a jig or go directly into flashing a rom then your device is not bricked.
The "bricked" term is used far too loosely nowadays.

Your phone died? you kiding ?
I'm using the leak version of Sammobile since 3 weeks... Why do you think the phone make a bad reaction now? why now?
Ok, you try to flash OFW and don't result. and then you flash again the XXLSJ ? and the phone colaspe?
What kind of roms do i flash? OFM or CFW ? ICS or JB ?
Well if a can connect with ODIN of course
A quick question!!
Is it possible that the phone can be revived (put into download mode) using a JIG if it is not starting at all for any key combinations and it is not showing charging animation when plugged into a computer or a power source??

Yes its possible which is the reason we already mentioned to try it
It all depends on the actual base issue though as to whether it will work. Its worth a try either way though, They only cost £1-2 or you can make them yourself if you have the spare parts. (Don't ask how, Use search).
I have tried the JIG, but no luck!!
I have given the phone to Samsung Service.
Hope they fix it!!
Will they use JTAG or it has to be done somewhere else in case Samsung people refuse to do it??
They wouldn't refuse just act dumb tell something like you were updating firmware via kies and all of a sudden power went down and device bribed
