Hi there!
First...sorry for my bad english:
My S2 was on Hydrogen-ics rom...a few minutes ago i decide to go back to stock. Factory Reset, Cache/Dalvik cache cleared, format /system...all done then I started Odin and choose PDA -> I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5 (its from samfirmware)
...everything was OK, then i reboot and flashed siyah kernel (v2.6) via Odin (PDA). Reboot again...everything was ok...
So I decided to go to checkrom. Reboot -> CWM -> Factory Reset ..and here something goes wrong..it stucked at wipe data or wipe cache (doesn't know exactly) after a few minutes I do a hard reset ...since then my S2 doesn't boot anymore. Galaxy S2 Logo appears with yellow triangle and that was it. CWM won't boot, too.
Download Mode still works, but when I try to reflash the stock rom from above it stucks at <ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!! .
Code:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..

Can I rescue my S2??

Have you try repartition?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100
No, not yet. I've read that this is the last choice I will have. I have read that I should try to flash a 3-part Firmware (searching for one now .. :/ )
edit: another question...i've extract a boot.bin from "I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100DBTKH1_HOME.tar.md5"
..does it makes sense to flash it as new bootloader via Odin?
Try to use another computer. Install kies on the new one ant try again wiht odin.

Did you close all the Kies-related processes before running odin?

If you read my posts you will see that CWM was broken. And the actual situation is that my phone do nothing. Screen stays black..whatever I try (Jig, DL-Mode, Recovery-Boot, normal boot, connect to pc, connect to another pc with kies installed)
But thanks for help
Just called to amazon, send it to repaircenter and we will see... I've only said that my device won't start up/charge anymore
From what I've read, your mistake was doing the repartition ...
That's the one thing that if interrupted or somehow failed (you stopped it during the process) will trash your bootloader and therefore preventing the phone from entering download mode using either the keys combo or a JIG.
If you hadn't messed with repartition, I'd say you should try on a different USB port, different cable, different PC and eventually you'd be able to flash a kernel, a ROM, whatever, but never compromise the bootloader and thus still be able to enter download mode...
I forgot to say that there was something crazy after I flashed Siyah Kernel. While the "Galaxy S2-Logo" appeared the logo split into to parts...one side go to the left, the other to the right...it was very strange, after it has splitted there was green pixels all over the display...and they growed up..I mean first there was only one green pixel, and before I did a reset there were over 40 green pixels...
after reboot everything seems to be OK.
Don't know I do not know if it has something to do with my main problem.
Tomorrow my beloved S2 go to tech-center

dude u should remember one thing that while flashing with ODIN u should uninstall KIES from that compyter because it will try to interupt ODIN!!
At this point ODIN was still banned from my harddrive
But never had problems with the combination of both programms before.
edit: but...of course you are right.
Good news
It seems like that my device has been repaired by w-support and it is on its way back.
work that they had done (translate with google...sorry )
Work carried out:
Soldering, replacement of faulty components, software update
edit: Ok phone is here new case and camera (maybe one part?) Stock 2.3.6 is installed.. phew
That's good news idd.

Hi all,
My GS3 (International version) is on a constant boot loop. I was browsing the internet and then it crashed into a loop, The phone was getting on my nerves abit as i was constantly having to reboot just to use it...but this time it crashed on me for good (Yes it was rooted on firmware 4.1.1)
I managed to get into CWM and wipe all data, then get into Download mode and flash a stock rom via ODIN.
All seemed to be going well, ODIN said PASSED and the phone rebooted.
Then i got the little green android robot with the blue spinning box in the middle of him/her....Boots back to initial start up screen, then little green android, then intitial start up etc etc etc....Never leaves these screens.
I cannot enter recovery nor can i enter download mode. There is nothing i can do to stop this.
I have tried repeatadly taking out the battery and puttin back in but no results.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance
From a very stressed out GS3 owner
After much playing around i managed to get back into DOWNLOAD mode...Unfortunatly no matter which STOCK rom i put on i can never get past the initial loading screen where it states my Phone device name/brand etc. Someimes i get to the little android with the spinning blue square in its belly...But then it loops again.
Ive tried about 6 different fimwares now, all stock.
Ive managed to put CWN on them too and done the whole WIPE DATA/DELVIK cache...but nothing changes!
Help please
I am in a right pickle now, Any help would be really really really appreciated. Feel gutted!

This is the troublesome part..in your flashing frenzy you have somehow corrupted the partition layout...now try flashing the 3 part method..search for it..you will need to use mx.pit to repartition you flash memory..tread cautiously and do only what you understand..
Why do people use Odin??????? Still escapes me

I cant use tha app as im stuck on a boot loop, i can only access Download mode. I have a GS3 GT-I9300 International version UK. Just took it to the store i bought it at and theres nothing they can help me with other than telling me to contact samsung.
I have tried nurmerous files via ODIN, even PIT files but i get no results. ODIN just says FAIL.
When i enter DOWNLOAD mode on my GS3..prior to pressing volum up i have a small yellow triangle, but it still allows me to go on. Prior to Download mode i can only get as far as the initial boot screen.

OK what ssn is listed under the battery .
Its pointless proceeding until the model is confirmed as your symptoms are identical to flashing wrong firmware .

You can try to flash PIT file but it seems to me its partition is dead, however as well as all remaining partitions. Now only motherboard changeover

Even if it's rooted? Thanks

Hey everyone, so I've been using a Cyanogenmod S2 for the past few months and everything was great.
Until recently it started to reboot by itself,
until one day when I woke up "Kernel panic upload mode" was on the screen.
I rebooted the phone,
and then was greeted with a black screen after the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen.
The buttons do light up, but nothing else could be done.
I entered download mode to flash a new firmware,
but then somehow it failed and then it says connect to computer to redownload firmware or something when I boot it on right now.
I can't get it to flash anything at all, whenever I use odin it gets stuck at setup connection,
I installed Kies but it doesn't recognize my phone as well, neither does my computer....
Need help. Desperately. :crying::crying::crying:

That's the problem, I can't seem to get Odin to flash no matter what, I've already tried different versions of Odin,

Any ideas, please?
There's been many threads re: this issue on here over the past week listing the troubleshooting steps to go thru when Odin won't work, search for those threads (Immortalneo has listed them, go through his posts as a shortcut).
Edit - Hang on a minute, what model number do you have; what's the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?

I'm using a GT-i19100
I'm going through immortalneo's posts but so far nothing's up..
Am currently following this guide but to no avail, (no .pit file in the compressed .rar file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40154030&highlight=+pit#post40154030
Edit: I think it's a GT-i19100G because I vaguely remember such a thing on the startup screen...
If you've got an I9100, why are you trying to flash firmware for T-989 ?? I suggest you go back to Samfirmware & get an I9100 stock rom for starters.
Ignore that guide; your phone isn't bricked. However, it may well be if you try & flash a PIT file (Although, if you've somehow flashed firmware for a different model including PIT, you may need to at some point. Just not yet). OK. This is the first & last time I'm posting this stuff for the next month:-
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work
-----------------------------------
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & all it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are (choose 'kill process tree').
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
Hello everyone ..
It could solve the problem? I am in a very similar, and have helped me a lot, but none of the options so far have been effective. I'm starting to resign myself to use it as a paperweight, but still have not lost hope.:crying:

Stop Now :0 ! You are trying to install a T-Mobile T989 firmware.It's a Galaxy s2 too,but from T-Mobile.It's not the same.Search on Sammobile for an I9100 firmware,preferable Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.Of course it gives an error,because it's not the right firmware.

Hello, I have a Galaxy S3 international >>
these were its infos before i did anything (image #1) >>> s14.postimg.org/y8tcan24x/2013_04_10_14_30_33.png
and this is what happened (image #2) >>> s13.postimg.org/undpmewzb/image.jpg
i admit, i think it's my fault: before doing anything else, my phone was just having the sudden death syndrome known to many S3 users.. so i took someones advice and downgraded the software to 4.1.1 using ODIN and it worked (actually didnt help as much at it said cz the phone kept crashing :S but the phone worked normally considering that i changed its software)))
two days later, what you see in image #2 suddenly happened:: i can do nothing with the phone!! but you need to know that the screen works...
Tried to re-install the software with ODIN >> I can access boot into Download/Odin Mode using (Volume Down+Home+Power Button till the screen turns up) and do everything but>> odin FAILED!! and I guess because USB DEBUGGING MODE wasn't enabled and I cant access the phone to enable it.
Also>> tried to reboot phone into Android Recovery mode to "wipe data/factory reset" using (Volume Up+Home +the Power button) >> doesn't work and gives the same white screen!!
the only thing i can do with the phone is to access boot into Download/Odin Mode and do something from there... the phone is not prompted by the pc when connected but recognizable by ODIN cz its says ADDED!! ...
recently.. this is what ODIN started showing:

Hi guys,
I'm in a bit of trouble. A few weeks ago I successfully installed CM 10 and everything was fine and working normal.
Then (I can't remember how) I must have somehow repartitioned or corrupted the file system on the device.
I am now stuck in a boot loop and can only go as far as download and recovery mode.
The message I get in recovery is 'E: failed to mount EFS'. I can see my EFS directory has been deleted/moved/corrupted and I believe I have done way more damage to the phone trying to repair it than before.
I have tried everything I can think of, stock ROM, different ROM, nandroid back up etc.
Although I can still get to recovery and download mode im pretty sure its done.
I have tried various tool kits such as the Samsung galaxy s3 toolkit and EFS professional etc, aswell as using the Android SDK and runing ADB commands through that to no avail. Half of the solutions I find on here that have helped other require USB debugging mode to be enabled, and I can't enable it because I cant turn the phone on, and there doesn't seem to be a command in ADB that will allow me to (Failsafe from Samsung).
I then arranged for teh phone to be serviced but I need to reset the flash counter. I cant use triangle away as I can't get into the phone and I can't seem to be able to do it through ADB. I don't think USB jigs reset the flash counter on the S3.
Its very frustrating as I seem to get somewhere then realise I need something else which I don't have access to.
If I can't repair the phone then I can send it off, but I need to be able to reset the flash counter,
Is their anyone here that could help me out? I have learned more about phones in this short period and its very interesting. well if your phone works..
I would be extremely grateful, Thank you

I don't think that you can now recover it by yourself. have you tried pit file to repartition it again, i think your partitions are deleted.. why don't you once try pit file to repartition the phone, else you wont have any other option than paying money to repair it..
Imo you flashed with wrong pit. Try m0.pit.

Thanks guys.
Is this the correct pit?
uploaded.net/file/f4544vm0
S3 white 16gb gt 19300
Also, is their anyway to reset the flash counter without using triangle away or to force run triangle away through ADB (which I doubt as I don't think ADB will automatically start the required function etc as its not booted into adroid)?

Now it wont boot into recovery..
Is there anyway I can further break the phone so they can't get into download to check the binary count. Or is that inconsequential...

that only happens if the motherboard is completely dead, like in SDS(not sure because i think phone boots into download mode showing product name nil), you cant do it yourself.. is your product code nil? have you checked maybe that can be SDS..

Im sure its not SDS just bricked from the start and more damage done to repair it. Now it won't boot into recovery after trying the .pit which was a last resort. I need to send it off to Samsung but the count is 15, ROM is Samsung Official and the last line is custom. (Im not with my phone I'm just remembering.)
Im sure its beyond repair i just need to reset the flash counter.
Thanks
i got you bro use this pit file it will fix it

Right now my battery is drained - probably it is not charging anymore I can't go to download mode (probably because of drained battery). Is there a way to rescue my phone or I have to buy new motherboard ?
Motherboards are *way* more expensive than buying a second battery and standalone charger......have you tried charging the battery normally?
There's a whole shed load of things to try before considering a new motherboard....

OK - I will try to charge my battery from external charger - maybe it is a fault of newly mounted charging board from china.
If I will manage to run download mode again what should I do - try to send that 3-file rom with PIT, MODEM etc. ?

You have the i9100 international variant...correct?
Wait until you have a charged battery then follow this guide (every step, as many times as it takes)......
Troubleshoot a failed odin flash by hopper8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
There is a link in that guide to a guide I wrote that covers replacing the usb board....you might want to read that too, because it isn't as simple as just taking the old one out and putting a new one in......

Have you read those two threads I mentioned?
(Hint....read the guide about the USB Connector first)
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Yep I have read about usb connector - usb charging board must be thesame rev version as previous one. For sure my charging board from china is wrong version - you think that after changing it to proper version ordered from EU I will manage to flash it with odin ?
@baszek
Mebay. Chinai micro USB connctor are usualy faulty. Please use a non-china one.
But if NAND warite keeps failing i"m afraid you need to replace your motherboard.

I have allready bought proper rev 2.3 charging board - I hope that this time Odin flash will work.

If it isn't 'official Samsung' then whatever you buy is going to have been made in China and not everything that comes from China is automatically faulty.
And please don't advise the op that the first choice and the only way to rectify the nand write issues is to replace the motherboard. The guide I linked him to provides a whole list of processes that have been shown to get other users successfully past this point and recover their devices.

@keithross39
I'm not "forcing" anybody to buy sth new. Thing that i'm writghting are based on my personal expirience / expirience "gained" on XDA.
By "non-china" one i meant a official signed motherboard.
But there is another thing. He olso had wrong USB bord revison. O
0.2 i think. The one , that should be there is 2.3.
Now he has 2.3.
If the process doesnt go any further than NAND write failure (even with 2.3 revison) + all the drivers , cables and other staff is 100% ok , than motherboard is dead.
Hello
So I have mounted new charging board with a proper rev number. It looks like phone is not charging or there is no charging animation - I am not sure - anyway I have run ODin and flashed some 4.1.2 RoM with Pit and repartition with success - status pass - green status etc, but after restart phone is still hanged on samsung logo. Tried other Rom 4.1.2 without Pit and phone is hanged at samsung logo too.
Should I try different roms or it is bricked ? (still can go to download and flash without a problem any rom)
Can you get into recovery?
If you can, you could try flashing PhilZ recovery, and then flashing a custom rom......probably best to stay away from the lollipop cusRoms though....
Try one of the Jellybean or KitKat based cusRoms.....when I used my S2 as a daily device, it was running Markox89's KK based CM.
Here's the link to the PhilZ thread......Look for the recovery flashable zip rather than the odin flashable tar.....

Nope I can't go to recovery - it shows only samsung logo - I can go only to download mode. I have allready tried 3 roms and phone is not starting (stuck at samsung logo after successful odin flash)

The fact that you are getting successful firmware flashes indicates that the motherboard isn't in need of replacing....
So it's just a case of persevering with the device until you recover it.....
The guide I mentioned (Troubleshoot a failed odin flash) really is the 'definitive' resource for people in your situation. You need to follow every suggestion/step in that guide as many times as it takes to get your phone up and running again.....any other advice is irrelevant...
Recovering the device is entirely in your hands.......

Try to flash CWM recovery from Odin (using the .tar file) from the link keithross39 had posted.
Ok So I know what was wrong.
It appeared that I have i9100G - version G - I am ****i** silly.
Flashed right now - first PIT File - then Rom from sammobile - now it had bootloop - went to Recovery mode - full wipe/cache etc - it is working now THannk you guys Could you plz recommend me some good stable custom rom for i9100G ?
I manage to flash neatrom - it sucks
Right now I am using CM 10 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ficial-cyanogenmod-10-2-i9100g-t3175239/page3
and it is much better feel then neatrom with stock.
