Go to this thread and try installing the apk directly.
If it doesnt work push the apk in system/apps.
You need to flash another rom with Odin.
Odin 1.85: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=581913&d=1304094576

Get in the download mode (press simultaneously down volume rocker + menu button + power button when device is not powered)
Ignore warning and continue. Start odin and connect your phone with usb. Unrar archive you downloaded and click pda then select tar file inside archive. And flash!
If you're rooted, you can try installing or pushing .apk file.

You can try to do a factory reset. After that it asks you in normal for youre language.
If not, then flash another firmware with odin. Bit it's important to close all Kies processes!!
Open Taskmanager and kill all Kies processes

Yes its normal. But we are missing something I guess...
1) Enable USB debugging mode (Settings > Applications > Development)
2) remove SIM & Battery, then reinsert battery
3) hold the buttons and plug usb to get in download mode
4) wait for Win7 USB device drivers to run properly
5) start ODIN3 and wait to see some action in one of the boxes
6) push ODIN3 start button & wait to see the green reset message
7) disconnect phone (it reboots itself)
It should look like this.
Ha! Maybe you're missing driver files! Do you have KIES 2 installed?

I just read that's out and It says to simply flash with Odin. Ive only used Odin to root my note and unbrick my infuse...where do i get the file from? I'm not all the similar with Odin...the Odin i have is the one i needed to root (no flash counter) so do i just open that and the ics file is magically in there??

The leak from Bobby (designgears) is in an .exe package. It is called a 'one-click ODIN' meaning ODIN and all the other files required are packaged inside.
Simply put your Note into download mode (power off, then hold 'volume down' and 'power' until a warning screen appears, then press 'volume up' to continue), connect via USB and let your computer install the relevant drivers, then run the .exe file and click 'start' once a yellow 'COMx (mine was COM5)' appears.
That's it. ODIN will take care of everything else for you
Enjoy! The ICS ROM works very well, but you will notice a lot of force-closes and stutter if you try and import a backup of your old apps. Better to start over 'fresh' with a major revision jump

Once you download the file, you are ready to go as per my instructions above

I got the torrent. They're all the same file, just from different locations. I came from unrooted stock, you'll lose root but flashing over it won't hurt. Root is available for the ICS ROM.

DAGr8's version does. The version I pointed you to (official) does not
There are additional steps required to root this one. I haven't tried DAGr8's version, perhaps getting that would be easier for you.

The collective also has a prerooted ics zip.
I really don't get it...the infuse was so much easier to flash roms which is why i so unfimiar with Odin. I have a bone stock note with no flash counter root. I'm hearing of several ics files, some with root, some without...and different places that people are getting it thru. The last posts i read mentioned of people using phones browser and clicking the ics picture and downloading to the phone, ive tried that but the file just keeps downloading...seems to get to 60% or so, ill check progress and than its back at 5% going up, here's a picture

Wait you flashed this through Odin unrooted? 100% completely stocked? I never knew you could do that! >.< lmao
galaxy Note, made to Showboat(;
Download mode is underneath the os and its ONLY purpose is to flash things with Odin, or heimdall (dunno if that's available for note yet), root is only needed to get su permission once booted into Android
I was finally able to flash cwm and made a back up in cwm (the back up took like 15 minute...i hope i did it right) i than downloaded ics on my phone via the ics picture on the dev section (should i use this or Odin) so now i guess I'm ready to flash. An i missing anything and will i lose root?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
if your downloading ics via the picture in the dev section you will not lose root because that is a pre rooted ics rom by DAGr8
Greetings,
I was trying to root my phone but something went wrong.
Odin said the root was sucessful, but when I switch my phone on, it just shows the yellow triangle and it just freezes.
I can wait, 5, 10...15 minutes it just keep showing that screen and it won't let me do anything. Can't see kernel version, can't install anything..
If I do home button + vol up + switch, it will show me the same screen again.
If I do home button + vol down + switch, it will ask to reboot or install. If I do install and connect it to my computer, my computer won't recognize it. Odin won't too.
And if I switch it on now it get's heated fast.
What do you suggest I do?
Thanks,
Edit: sorry forgot to say. Use USB jig to get into download mode.
Download one of chainfires cfroot kernels or siyah kernel and flash via Odin.

GTI9100
Hydra H2O 1.2.1
fluxi xx.01_rc5
Wait a minute what version is your device? Exact number.
Vol down+home+power should not ask the recovery options you mention.

GTI9100
Hydra H2O 1.2.1

Are you sure you downloaded the correct kernel got the corresponding ROM?
I doubt a USB jig would help you if you had ICS.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
the usb jig still works fine on ICS.
there was a break in the gingerbread roms, when they came out with a new bootloader that would not allow resetting of the binary counter and removing the yellow triangle through the usb jig, but if you flash the old bootloader from intratech's thread, there is no problem. works for ICS as well.
also, i don't understand how people are so eager to use triangleaway. chainfire wrote in his own thread, that it is an emergency tool, if you have to send your phone in and don't have a jig handy, but in general, the jig is preferable, because it is safe, in contrast to an app.

You can probably flash the latest 3.x Siyah kernel to at least get the phone booting. Who knows, you may even like Siyah, as aceofclubs suggests above. (and Siyah roots your phone too)

Yes, but you have the option of downloading a CWM flashable zip package as well; the dev for Siyah offers both packages. A .tar for Odin, and a .zip for CWM recovery.

I just noticed that on the upper left corner of "Downloading.. Do not turn off target !!" screen, it says "Odin Mode; Product name ... (...) "

Well, can you still get to recovery mode? If so, you can download the CWM .zip file for Siyah, put it on your SD card, and flash it that way...
But before you do that; to get your computer to recognize the phone being plugged in, have you tried:
- making sure Kies is not running at the same time Odin is?
- different USB cable?
- different USB port? (should be directly to PC port, not a hub, or keyboard, or other pass-through)
- different computer?
It is extremely irregular for a kernel flash to break the USB port functionality.

The thing is, before I tried to root, the computer (and Odin) did detect the SG.

What Firmware did you download? Please state the full name of it here.
What GSII Model do you use? The Galaxy SII I9100 or the SII I9100G?
A pal of mine flashed a I9100 Firmware on a I9100G device and had an error in Odin and had a similar error on his phone after that.

If the update has failed, selecting recovery mode in Kies does not work and Odin throws out errors; I suggest you hand the phone into your nearest Samsung service center since you have stated that your phone was never rooted or modified.

Sometimes when Kies is running it can cause problems for Odin (Or so I have read), so what you can try is: Open Task Manager and then end every Kies activity that is running on your computer and then try again flashing through Odin while you are in Download mode (don`t forget to press volume up to continue through the warning) and if this goes wrong, copy the steps Odin has made until the error, so we can see where Odin has a Problem.

I didn`t said start kies, just kill all processes running connected to kies and then flash again..
but it`s your call and about warranty it should be still there if you said you haven`t rooted your phone and never installed any Rom on it. If they ask just tell them you tried to update via Kies and some weird error occurred and that`s the last thing that happened because I heard that some service centers won`t repair your phone even if you tried to flash original Samsung Firmware.

Well you downloaded a Stock Firmware already which has the brickbug but it can only brick your phone when you do this:
Here's how to BRICK your phone :
-Flash the 4.0.4 firmware with/without its pit file
-Use any 4.0.4 based kernel - stock or modified (ex cf-root)
-Go to cwm and do a wipe data & wipe cache and/or perform a nandroid restore of any previous firmware
=> The process begins normally but it may/will switch off at any time without waking up ever again !!!!!
But since you don`t want to root your phone, you can`t go into CWM, so bricking your phone with the firmware you downloaded shouldn`t happen but if you want to be sure, just download any 4.0.3 Stock Firmware from Samfirmware and flash via Odin

Listen, you have the right file for your phone, but it appears the flash failed part way through.
Are you plugged directly into a usb port on your computer? (i.e. not using a hub, or a port on the keyboard or monitor, etc?)
If not, make sure to use a direct port on the computer.
If so, I'd try a different port on the computer, and maybe try a different usb cable.
Not a direct port, bad port, and bad cable can all cause bad flashes.

I don't know why you'd want to go all the way back down to 2.3.3, but sure, that should work. Provided, of course, you downloaded a firmware meant for your phone.

I have tried all root methods. I just bought a new i777 and the previous owner had the folks at the AT&T store wipe it and when they did that they updated it . So it is up to date as of Today. But I cannot get it to show up in ODIN. I have tried normal Odin and Odin one click. I have tried 3 computer and 2 different connection cords. Any help ?

You must have the USB drivers installed. In Add/Remove programs or Uninstall or change a program, depending on Windows version, you should see Samsung USB Drivers for Mobile Phones. If that is not present, install the correct driver first.
Next, not knowing your level of experience.... make sure you are using Odin correctly.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.

You don't say, but I am going to assume you double checked the list I posted to make sure you are following the correct proceedure. The steps must be followed in order as some steps are dependent on the preceeding one. If you havn't done that, please do.
Possible things that could be at fault: USB driver, cable, USB port on computer, microusb port on phone, the computer itself, and user error. You've tried some of these things already: Uninstall and reinstall driver, use a different computer, try all the USB ports on the computer, if computer is a desktop use USB port directly connected to mother board, use a different cable preferably the original one that came with the phone - try as many as you can get your hands on, verify that your phone's microusb port is working correctly. By a process of elimination, you have to find the weak link and correct it.
I followed your list in the exact order you posted it . I'm going to buy a new cable in case that's the problem . I'll post if I get it fixed

First, enter recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset. I'm not sure which recovery you will have from the GalaxyS2Root that you flashed, but it may be 3e recovery. Whatever recovery it is, the wipe should get your phone to boot. Then follow the Guide linked in my signature to install custom binaries without incrementing the flash counter. It contains all the information you need. If you have questions, ask.

Do what creepy said in the above post. CWM is included in our custom kernels so no need to flash it seperately.

Usually cwm will install with the kernel when you root it, what kernel are you going to use?

Just a bootloop, give this a go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
You will lose all data although, nothing on external sd card will be lost.
Also, how did you flash the ROM? If you followed the guide step-by-step, you shouldn't have ended up in a bootloop.
I wiped all partitions and then flashed the zip file.
Is it with a bootloop that you even can't get in to recovery? I'm stuck on samsung logo, not on RR logo

Ah I'm stupid! You need to get into recovery for that thread! You're definitely holding the correct buttons when the phone is fully off (home + power + volume up)?
I think I will give it a go. But the threat says that you should do it from your recovery, or if you are not comfortable with the recovery way you should do it via odin. I can't get in recovery, so maybe I have an other problem..
I'm honestly a little scared of odin.
once I had to do something with odin, but that failed. so I could not get out download mode..

This is taken straight from my rooting guide. It will help you correctly set up Odin:
First off, you need Odin, which is a flashing tool specifically designed for the SGS2: Just type in "Odin 1.85" without quotations into Google and the first result should display "Odin - xdadevelopers - XDA Developers." Click on the link and Odin will download.
Now before going ahead with Odin, download Kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ ,which is like iTunes for Samsung Devices, the drivers are needed for Odin, but when the drivers have been installed, close Kies, right click on your toolbar at the bottom of your desktop, I'll assume your running Windows 7, and go into Task Manager. Now find anything with Kies running in the Task Manager, right click on them and kill them.
Once you have done this, go to "sammobile.com", sign up and download a stock ROM for the GT-I9100. I'll assume you have the international SGS2, just remove your battery and make sure it isn't the GT-I9100G. Then flash via Odin by connecting your phone, making sure Odin is configured like above, and then putting your phone in download mode, connecting it to your PC and put the file you downloaded in the PDA section and flash.

Yes, if you can't get into Recovery Mode, a new flash is your only saviour. When you have flashed the ROM and hopefully everything went well, you can root your ROM by using Chainfire's CF-Root. Then you could restore a backup.
I have also a zip-file of my previous rom on my sd-card. That was codename lungo. Can I flash that zip so i don't neet to re-root lik you said?

Do you know what it is/does? Also, the guide I took that segment on setting up Odin was actually written for rooting your ROM with CF-Root.
Oh, its a ROM. My bad! Well, I'm not too sure. I think if you have a backup of it, that would be safer. Rooting is real easy anyway.
Is Codename Lungo not a HTC Sensation ROM?
Oke thank you.
I will download the stock firmware from sammobile, and try to flash it with Odin. I just want it to work again (root or no root) and not have to buy a new phone

Don't thank me till it's working! Once new ROM flashed and booted, let me know.
By the way, don't use the .PIT file if one is included in the download, if you get PDA, PHONE and CSC, put in appropriate sections of Odin and flash, if just one file, put in PDA section and flash.
