[Q] Odin Mode instead of Factory Mode - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. My Galaxy SII says Odin Mode in download mode, instead of "Factory Mode". A friend said that after flashing any kernel/rom via Odin it says "Odin Mode". Now, how can I make it show "Factory Mode" there, as original?
Thanks.

it always been odin mode for me.

Odin mod is the correct one, when you enter into download mod with normal 3 botton combo,
Factory Mod will get when you enter download mode using JIG while you are on new bootloders. and your binaray will not get reset with the Jig
On old bootloader you will get Odin Mod with the Jig and your bainary flsah count will be reset.
You have to worry about nothing now...

Never ever seen Odin mode always download mode .

Summary:
ODIN MODE:
You're using the OLD Bootloader
When using jig: Binary counter WILL reset
FACTORY MODE:
You're using NEW / ICS Bootloader
When using jig: Binary Counter WILL NOT reset

not for me, stock ics dxlp9, downloaded from check fus, gives me Odin mode. No idea what it says with jig, dint have it.

Factory mode will get only with the Jig on new bootloader,
with 3 botton always ODIN mode....

Not for me too. I'm using the XWLP7 (Turkey, Kies ICS) firmware and with 3 button combo it gives me Odin mode. But I'm not sure if it's the same on a phone never flashed rom/kernel via Odin. This is why I asked.

Thanks for your great reply. I don't have a jig. (Using the XWLP7 (Turkey, Kies ICS) firmware) As a result, "Odin Mode" is the original thing on new bootloaders by using 3 button combo.
Also thanks for all replies.

FACTORY MODE:
You're using NEW / ICS Bootloader
NOT TRUE AT ALL .

Bricked. NO recovery and JIG did NOT work

Hi, i bricked my phone flashing KI3 with new bootloader found in here, but Odin got stuck so i removed the phone.
Now it does not go in recovery and in download mode neither. I have already trying using the JIB with no luck
What to do now?
Answering to a question.

Does it have a form of hboot? I fixed my brothers bricked galaxy using Odin but if u can put the SAPPIMG file on a SD card and boot to hboot mode that might work. If that's what ur already mean by JIG then mybad

What's hboot? As i said i can't enter in download mode or recovery mode
AFAIK The official ki3 updates the bootloader and that blocks the usb jig.

The JIG does not get blocked with the new bootloaders, it just does not clear the counters in the same way, but DLM can still be entered with the JIG.

I can't power on the phone. It's totally dead
Recovery is as follows
One enter Download Mode
No Download Mode then try USB Jig to force download mode .
Phone off put usb jig in usb port boots to download mode .
Fails
Then its a service centre job .
jje
plug your jigg in your phone and then you will come in the download mode,
don't restart your phone. plug your usb-cable in, then open ODIN
find stock rom and flash it.

Bro, I know but sometimes you can not open Download mode, so with JIG you can come in to Download mode
then you flash the stock with ODIN

Jeez no download mode jig does not work as posted .
I gave a run through of correct route just in case OP was doing something wrong with a return to service centre if all failed .
jje
Yeah the JIG does not work, i will contact a service centre tomorrow
Just curious... Does anyone know what sort of gear a service centre might have that can talk to a SGS2 after its gone to such a 'dark place' that even a JIG can't wake it up? I always thought a JIG was all you needed...

Likely a silly question regarding the yellow triangle

If I flash a rom using Clockwork Recovery will the yellow triangle be activated? Or is it just kernel flashing?
No, only flashing a non stock kernel in Odin will.
Ahh so Odin is the culprit, thanks!

To be precise, the download-mode is the culprit. As far as I know the heimdall-suite will increment it too.

I used Heimdall and it does increment the flash counter.
Easiest way to remove warning triangle and reset the counter is to buy (or make) a "Samsung USB jig" on EBay for around $2.
Another advantage is it can also help to force your phone into download mode if "soft bricked".
Very handy, I have two !!, and has been very useful when returning one phone for warranty (after flashing back official firmware to remove to remove traces of custom ROM and root)
So easy to use; power off, insert jig, phone auto boots into DL mode and resets counter and remove triangle, remove jig, hold power for 5-10 secs to shut off phone. Done
Edit: So in short, advise to order the jig now, then don't worry about the counter & warning triangle, and just flash awayyyyyyyyyyyy

What firmware are you using? If you're using the new bootloader post-2.3.4, then using the jig won't work, unless you flash the old bootloader. Samsung blocked the reseting of the counter with their update...
You have to visit Intratech's thread and follow his instructions on flashing the old bootloader or new firmware with old bootloader.

Install Kies and across the top, find the tools bar and it will bring a dropdown menu, just select emergency firmware recovery or something like that. Alternatively you can boot into download mode and flash the firmware via odin. If you don't know what that is, stick with the kies method

Congratulations, it's a brick!
Take the phone to a service center, let them try to JTAG it. It it won't work, they'd have to replace the main board.

If you are unable to get into recovery or d/l mode, it's a brick for sure.
Only JTAG or main board replacement will fix it

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. You dont need the backup. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=13292)
The JB Bootloader. (I downloaded the stock by Ryuinferno)
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.
tried but i died

[Q] USB Jig query

I received my USB Jig this morning.
I put it in my powered off S3 and booted straight into download mode. :good:
I am rooted on stock firmware and have previously run triangle away so I have 0 binary count etc.
The systems status said official when using the jig. However when I boot into download mode using the three button method it says custom?
Can anyone tell me why this is.?
Thanks

recovery mode is home button+volume up+power! you need not enter recovery mode to flash firmware via odin! you need to enter download mode(home button+volume down+power) and connect to pc and flash via odin! after flashing is done, enter recovery mode and factory reset!

No download mode then you can try as a last resort a USB Recovery Jig to access download mode .
Otherwise its a service centre .

Pull out battery.
Wait 10 sec.
Insert Battery
Hold Vol down + power+home at same time.
When in download mode press Vol up again
Now connect phone to ODIN... if you know what Odin is
