Full wipe

Do not tick phone bootlader update or repartition you will easily brick your phone just reboot your into recovery mode and select wipe data factory reset

[Q] Can I fix Galaxy SII after a failed rooting?

Hi,
I updated my Galaxy SII to ICS (BVLPB) via Kies and I lost the previews root, now I tried to root it again with method from Chainfire but with no luck and my phone don't start anymore. I tried to put back the stock kernel from intratech but still with no luck.
I can still go to download mode or recovery mode, but this is the only thing I can do.
Now the question is: What can I do to fix my phone, can I fix it?
Thank you very much.
yes you can
go into download mode use fusdownloader to get a ICS stock rom for your galaxy
open odin 1.85 plug in phone select pda and add the downloaded rom (from fus) and then apply the update
this should fix your phone and restore it to ics
...
Did you try: Wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache ?
Try a wipe data/factory reset, if it still doesn't fix it, grab an official ICS version here and flash it with Odin.
Btw, be sure to read the instructions for flashing on that thread.
Thank you all... I manage to make him start again... I didn't try flashing the stock rom because I was afraid that I'll lose all my data.
Thank you all again.

You have to do a data wipe in recovery to fix that.
Do a full wipe. Factory reset + wipe cache, dalvik and system

First step would be to do a full wipe I.e. data+cache+dalvik..if it does not work..then wipe system partition..be careful as this step will erase everything from your internal memory..
PS. Coming from leaked jb..install stock ics first via odin..reboot check if wifi works..if yes then go ahead and flash aosp based roms.. otherwise you might face wifi issues..

Go to ClockWorkMod:
1- Turn off Your device
2- Press and hold this combination: up volume - menu button - power button
3- When you're in Clockwork mod search and choose factory reset4
4- Then confirm factory reset and use Pc Odin and flash a new ROM in Download Mode
Hope this helped
PS: Factory reset will erase everything So backup ur files, but in your case it's not necessary knowing that it's stuck in bootloader
Download mode for PC ODIN flash:
-turn off you device
-Download Mode: Press and hold :down volume button - menu button - power button
-After that connect ur device via USB to your PC
-choose the Stock Rom from Odin "DISABLE or UNCHECK REPARTITION"and and flash your device it'll take like 3mins or less to flash on SGS3

This advice does not really help in my view .
Why factory reset then flash via Odin = wipe twice .
Odin does not have a stock rom . That may confuse the OP . >?> Its flash a stock rom via Odin .

In my opinion the best option to restore stock firmware (and partition layout) is flashing three-file firmware by Odin with repartition option (and of course mx.pit). It will make all needed wipes after flash in recovery after selfreboot. All needed commands are set in executable script which is running after flashing. After that you may flash newest firmware by FOTA, Kies or Odin, as you wish.
All you need is download a correct for Your location version with separate PDA, CSC and MODEM and mx.pit.
Of course there is always a danger related to repartition so You need to do it with caution.
You DON'T need to flash the pit file unless you've somehow screwed up your partitions and have corrupted them. Flashing a pit file is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing and use the wrong one...
Just put the full stock update file in PDA and flash as it has the pit repartition in the file already. However, DON'T tick the repartition box...

Pull the battery, go in recovery and do a data factory reset, clear the cache and reboot. That should fix it

Go to recovery mode
Wipe data / Wipe cache / Wipe dalevik cache
When finished, remove the battery to power-off the phone.
Launch ODIN on your computer and flash your full firmware (the lastest available for your phone).
Don't boot your phone between wipe and flash. When you push the battery on the phone, turn it directly in Download mode.
To finish, go to recovery mode and wipe data
It will remove all files for sure. I have similar issue with my I9300 : wipe data / wipe cache from recovery doesn't remove Clockwork mode and SuperSu !

Oupss. Can you give us information reported by *#1234# on dialer ? Perhaps a CSC <unknow> issue.
Have you tried flashing CF root and enter recovery and format the phone .
Outside of that it looks like a JTag repair or service centre repair .

I presume you have tried taking the battery out and outting it back in again,
If you can get into recovery, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache and cache.
If you cannot get into recovery, flash cf-root first. After that, enter to recovery. Wipe all and format system. Flash dlj5 again with ODIN.
Greetings.
thanks guys ! I did wipedata/factory reset and it got solved

if you have custom rom or stock rom coocked the kies cant help you.
do these solutions in order :
>>>solution 1 : in recovery do facotry reset and install rom , wip cache and dalvick. the first boot take time. so wait. if not worck try to format system before flashing rom.
>>>solution 2 : factory reset in recovery then install stock firemware by odin after flash is complete enter to recovery and do factory reset again. the first boot take time. so wait.
>>>solution 3 (danger, do it only if you give up if you dont have any other solution) : flash stock firmeware with odin but cheek nand erase all in odin, after flash is complete enter to recovery and do factory reset(compulsory).the first boot take time. so wait.
use latest odin version.
good luck.
