[Q] Urgent Help with Firmware upgrade - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Experts,
1) I have Samsung Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread 2.3.5.
2) I have opened Kies and it offered me firmware update to the PLE or something similar.
3) Kies downloaded the upgrade file and Samsung rebooted to the download mode.
It says "Downloading...Do not turn off the target..
I thought it should be for a while like 20 minutes or an hour. What can I do?
The phone is still connected to the PC and Kies is opened, but it can't connect to the device and it maybe logical - it's in the boot state.
Please guide me what to do, it's urgent.

Kies Help.

Problem with Upgrading my SGA

Hello ,
I have a problem with upgrading my SGA to an official firmware via Samsung Kies
when I start upgrading its OK , But after a few minutes , the Downloading come and it keeps downloading and nothin happen after this , it keeps downloading and I waited for more than 30 minutes and it keeps downloading
I tried three times , 2 times yesterday and now and I need to remove the battery and turn on the device to work again
is there a problem with my device ??
NOTE:
My device has android 2.2.1 ROOTED
so do I need to Unroot and try again ??
Afaik u dont need to unroot to update via kies. Please someone correct me if im wrong.
Thing is, kies already knowned as troublesome and laggy software/tools. If u know what update u will get via kies, just search for that particular update/rom on samfirmware and use odin to flash ur device. If i remember correctly, there are user that bricked their ace when upgrading via kies. For backup purpose, kies can do just fine, but for upgrade, i wouldnt even think of using kies because already got trustworthy odin by my side

Lesson learnt: Don't ever use Kies XD
Download ODIN 4.38 and the 2.3.3 ROM from samfirmware.com .
Flash the 2.3.3 with ODIN when your phone is in Download Mode .
When it successfully flashes , it's DONE !
Thanks for everyone , I won't use Kies after this day , I will update it now via ODIN

MY galaxy s2 doesn't boot

My Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I1900 won't boot.
I tried to update to ICS with Kies which crashed, wherefore I unplugged the USB to start over.
Now my phone had no OS, and wouldn't respond to Kies anymore.
By mistake I flashed the downloaded original firmware into the bootloader section in Odin.
Now it just shows a screen that says Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
Next I tried to recover with Odin. I flashed another firmware, and the old bootloader and attached a PIT file which worked for me earlier.
I want to now how I can make it work again.

At the moment, can you get into download mode or CWM at all? If not, you will have to purchase a jig or worst case, a JTAG.

Try booting into download mode and connect to pc. see if odin recognizes your device.
If it does then download a stock firmware from neerajganga's thread in this forum and flash it through Odin
And btw. post in the Q & A section next time
Yes try rebooting into download mode with small Jig , i bought one for a few dollars..
Then u should be able to use Oldin and flash on a new Rom , i dont like Kies much.. i have Bricked my Ph on Purpose just to show myself how easy a recover could be , under 20 min work with correct tools.. keep readig on here dude u will get it back up and running for sure..:good:

Pretty sure your phone needs to be in download mode for Odin to recognize it. If your device is in download mode, maybe it would be a good idea to reinstall drivers and Odin?
