He said he can't even get Odin to detect his phone , what makes you think Odin will work ?
@OP I think you might wanna send it to service center.....
Ace-ing all tests.

He said the computer won't recognize the phone. Maybe you need to learn how to read. When using Odin or cwm to flash anything it doesn't touch download mode. That's a untouched partion.
Op try to boot into download mode then connect your phone n see if Odin recognizes the phone. If so you can use Odin to restore the phone.

If it's a Windows based PC, he should check to make sure he has USB drivers installed. If the drivers aren't installed, when he connects the phone to the PC it should detect the phone and try to install USB drivers. If it doesn't find any it will ask for a location to install them from. I forget if I installed them separately, or if they got installed when I loaded Kies.
But if he has the proper USB drivers installed, and the phone doesn't show up in Windows Explorer as a new drive in a few seconds... it's probably a problem with the phone that might mean sending it back to Samsung for repairs.
hard brick
give it to service
only thing that can help u now is z3box (and other similar tool)
EDIT: Deleted my reply about drivers. It was redundant and other replies come from people with much more experience.
My friend has done this too before, only Service Center or RIFF(?) JTAG Box can save you.
@ Service centre blame kies for everything (If Kies wasn't so useless- we wouldn't need to update with Odin.

Hi Everyone, Really need help here
I (drunkenly) messed around with CWM on my phone and formatted a few partitions that I shouldn't have. Result - brick!
Had a JTAG done and it was revived and placed back onto Stock 2.3.3
Got my phone home and went to flash Litening ROM 6.1 onto it to regain root access... ODIN got about 2/3 through and failed.
Now I've got a phone that my computer's won't recognise. Windows is saying that the USB device has malfunctioned. Is there any way I can fix this without having to shell out for another JTAG repair?
When I turn on the phone I get that A....!....A looking symbol on my screen. Recovery mode does the same thing.
I can get to Download mode, but again my PC can't recognise it.
Any ideas?
try reinstalling the drivers.. That may work..

Yes, you can uninstall kies and install it again. It worked for some users.. Make sure kies is off when flashing a new firmware..

Odin the God of rom flashing is telling you flash stock and stop playing with your phone as next time you will get Thor .

Odin the god of flashing is being a pain in my ass!
All I want is for my GS2 to be rooted and working - I still don't get how it's failed
Kies is still uninstalling...
do you have a usb jig? that normally forces it into download mode.. dirt cheap from ebay......... have a search

I can get to Download mode. Or am I missing something?
As far as I'm aware, the JIG will reset my binary counter and take me to DL mode - isn't that what Vol Down + Power + Home does?
with a JIG would my phone be more likely recognised by my PC's?
Thanks for all the reply's too by the way guys!
Okay, so I removed and reinstalled Kies - No luck
Download Mode is still showing Current Binary as Samsung Official though, so at least I can have it warranty repaired if need be.
I'm just finding it really hard to believe that it's bricked again, I've flashed heaps of ROM's to this phone without any issues. I just don't see how I could have two problems so close together.
Any other ideas?
You may find an answer within this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382838
I had an i9000 jtaged a while back and what i noticed was that when it came back from the shop it didnt have recovery mode at all.What I had to do was flash a couple of stock ROMs to get stock recovery back so I could Root it again.It took several atempts and fails too.Not having any type of recovery at the time of a flash might be what has caused the problem.Quite possible that if thats the case you will need another jtag
One thing you could try thats worked for me in the past is boot to download,plug in your phone and open Odin last.Sometimes its works.

Thanks, gave that a go and it didn't work. Tried it about 5-6 times
Is there a specific driver that can be used to allow Odin to see my phone? I've tried all that Kies has to offer and it's still coming up as unrecognisable - Windows is seeing a USB Mass Storage controller and a Bluetooth Peripheral Device, but it's unable to locate or install any drivers since the failed Flash.
I also tried the other linked thread. This didn't work either
I only spent $180 on a JTAG repair yesterday - Should've just bought my own RIFF box so that I could do it myself.

If you have access to a window xp computer give it a try, I had this issue with my captivate and my windows 7 machine wouldn't work but my old xp computer did.
An obvious and well known issue... Did you end process tree of both Kies processes in your PC's task manager?
Sorry if you have, it is all I can think of at the moment.
Sounds like it's time for you to give up flashing ROM's. Clearly someone up there doesn't like it. If your computer doesn't recognise it at all then its a faulty USB cable. So maybe that get that replaced before you demand Samsung fix your mistakes again.

Hi,
I'm using more than one cable. They seemed to both work fine too until the failed flash.
I didn't get Samsung to fix it, I took it to a mobile repair shop, I didn't demand anyone do anything either - I paid royally to have it fixed and would prefer to fix it myself than be charged again.
@jhernand1102 - I'll give this a shot now, fingers crossed!
Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry

Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

the galaxy s2 just shows the standard downloading screen with my binary count number etc as it normally would, but odin dosent pick it up, dosent show any sign of contact to the device, even windos says the device is malfunctioned, its an old dell with windows xp
Hi guys,
need a hand here, yesterday I plugged my S2 to my PC but it wouldn't show up. I've done this many times before. I was getting the message saying 'usb device not recognized'. I then flashed the new ICS resurrection rom by moving it to my SD Card through an adapter. I thought maybe the usb problem would go away.
As my luck would have it the flash went badly it seems because i'm now getting the kernel panic message on my device. I can't get it to recovery mode but I can get it to download mode BUT Pc doesn't recognize the device still...
Could this maybe be a damaged port on my device?
Is it maybe a driver problem?
Any help would be much appreciated....
Anyone have any advice?

I plugged in a galaxy TAB and used KIES through my web browser to transfer items to the TAB. Does this interfere with the SGSII? I haven't used KIES with the SII
Instructions are to install Kies and connect the phone with the Samsung cable and drivers are found .It does not mention install another device and it will work so its a guess as to driver conflict due to Kies looking for the TAB .
Could be port on PC not a mainboard port USB on phone dirty or custom rom buggered phone .
I would flash stock GB rom via Odin .

Sorry, missed that you can't get to anything BUT download mode.
Try flashing an older Gingerbread firmware wipe package then.
EDIT: specifically using mobile Odin, since your computer isn't detecting your phone via USB... not even sure if that works, but what do you have to lose at this point?

Good luck, dude.
I resolved the problem! Thanks for the input guys
My friend handed me his samsung galaxy SII believing that I could fix his problem. He rooted it, and started going ROM crazy. Needless to say he broke it. I thought I could fix it, maybe it was a simple bootloop issue or what have you, but the phone won't even get recognized on my computer. I can set it into ODIN mode, but it won't get recognized by my computer, even though I downloaded the samsung usb drivers. It won't show up in ODIN, and It won't enter recovery mode either for some odd reason, so there's no chance of me loading something through his SD card. Whenever I turn it on normally it's stuck at a battery screen with a circle as if it were loading the battery, but it never finishes.
I'm pretty sure it's bricked, but I want to be sure before I tell him to buy a new phone.
The only information I can get out of it is that it's a SHW-M250K
thank you in advance.

But you can enter DL mode, so that's your window.
You need to get your pc to see the device, we git plenty of tricks for that. Haven't you bumped into any of them?
Try other odin versions/usb cable/usb ports/clean kies uninstall and re install, try another pc and do it all over again.
You can also disable the antivirus if you like.

My Sprint Epic 4G Touch (SGH-D710 Galaxy S2) was rooted and my son wanted to upgrade it to JB from ICS for me. He was not paying attention and flashed the firmware from the i9100 international GS2 to my phone instead of the firmware for the D710 and now it is stuck at a screen with the Android Guy in the middle. It says:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Now my phone is a paperweight (really kinda old and not much more than that anyways, even when it was working). The computer will not recognize it when I plug it in, ODIN doesn't see it either. I have read that this is because the i9100 firmware has disabled the usb port and that it will have to be JTAG'd to fix it? Using a "pinout"? Both of these are above my head. I had originally rooted it without incident but he flashed the wrong firmware to it and now I have no idea how to fix it. It is far beyond any warranty work, any ideas?
Update
I have used 2 different computers, a netbook running Windows 7 and a laptop running Windows 8. I have access to a Mac but it is limited. I am using the stock usb cable that came with the phone, it is all original except for the firmware, even has the original battery. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the usb drivers for the phone, updated Samsung kies and have tried SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-OneClick with no luck. I have tried running everything in "Run as administrator" mode, again with no luck.
Please let me know if I missed anything.
