Hello everyone.
I need your help because my samsung galaxy s II has the "red screen of death" so I would need to get it back to stock rom before sending it to after sales service.
Can you help me finding the right rom and how to install it please ? At the moment I have CM7.1
Thanks in advance !
sammobile.com
Download stock there. Its impossible to guess which specific one it came with unless you provide the information.

I did absolutely nothing, just powered on my phone and everything is red
I tried to remove the battery, wait a couple of hours and try again, but always red !
phone is from France so I dowload the France rom from sammobile
thx
Please anyone answer,
I downloaded I9100XWKJ2_I9100XEFKJ1_XEF.zip from sammobile, can you tell me how can I use it with Odin ?
Do I use this file for PDA, PHONE or CSC ?
Also what's the pit file ? When downloading Odin from sammobile, I have a s1_odin_20100512.pit, is it the right one ?
Thanks in advance !
this is en example use ur own file. (Proceed at your own risk. We are not liable if anything happens to your device by using this method. )
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

If you didn't use the pit file your phone may only be soft bricked. Read some more and you can fix it if you can get into download mode.

I'm guessing you went ahead and just tried flashing using that .pit file?
You should never use a firmware or kernel for a different device, but it is sometimes recoverable.
For future reference, NEVER EVER EVER use a .pit file for a different device...

Since you flashed using an S1 .pit file, your only hope now is JTag repair. Nothing else has any chance of bringing your device back to life.

Not sure why you're ignoring my posts. You can get it fixed (JTag) for like $50 US. (I don't know what that translates to in your local currency)

Can you get it back into Download mode so you can re-flash firmware?
Why did you flash the pit in the first place? (All tutorials tell you not to do this)
If you cant get it to boot into anything (download or recovery) then I don't know if its possible to restore it...
You might also want to try taking the battery out and putting it back in again if you havent already
You install the wrong pit file .?????
What instructions are you following .
jje
It is possible to repartition but you would need the proper set of files that support it.
If i'm right (not sure though) you can do it with a set that contain the "_user_low_ship" in the pda name.
The download on samfirmware of the I9100XWKF1 does have this, containing odin 1.85, a 3 set for pda, modem and csc, and pit file.

Send it for a repair and hope it won't be a too costly one or the repair guys cannot turn it on either to find out you tried to flash a SGS firmware on it. Also Odin is now going in version 1.8x so you should update your flashing software too.

The JIGs are like £4 on ebay, so its worth a try, and if it doesnt work then you can sell it on or something.
USB jig any Odin should work flash stock firmware but follow instructions to the letter and read what you are doing first .
jjue
Good luck with the jig hopefully it will work and you can get your phone working again.
I am amazed it let you flash it as well being a totally different ROM!
Take the battery out then press and hold the power key for 10 seconds.
then press and hold home and vol down, do not let go of the keys while doing below
then insert the USB cable
then insert the battery
Does it now go into download mode and get recognised by the PC?
I went to a phone service and the guy there told me that the boot loader was completely erased, everything...there's nothing...

If the bootloader is gone then you would need special equipement to repair.
Sorry to say this but if there is no way to load the bootloader from sdcard or something then you are screwed.
hey guys, before you say this is a repost ive had a look and was unable to find someone who done the same thing as me...
i have a brand new galaxy s2,
i tried to root it, but some how i stuffed it up and the phone got stuck on the boot screen after the root, i tried to reinstall the kernel but without being able to get into the phone i didnt know which kernel i needed, i DONT have clockworkmod installed so i couldnt boot via that either, so i tried downloading the stock kernel for Telstra my phone provider, i tried installing that, but now instead of being stuck on the screen with the boot logo and a yellow triangle, im stuck on the screen that has a little image of a phone and a computer and an orange triangle between then with a ! in it. any assistance in this would be greatly appreciated

Hey,
first question:
You are able to get in download mode? (volume down + home button + power button)
If yes, be cool
So when u are able, flash a stock Rom with "re-partition".
This means also that you must have a stock Rom with 3 files (or sometimes more), but not the one .tar file.
If you've done this, your phone should work normal.
Then try to root again with the right "cf-root" for the android version, you flashed.
Good luck!

Just out of curiosity: I always read, you should never select "re-partition".
Why do you suggest this here right now for a StockRom?

Never when it's just a one part .tar file!
If you have three or more you can choose for odin (phone,modem,csc)

What I have read it only works if pit file is available, but even then re-partition should not be used. And a one-file tar generally contains the same files (phone,modem,csc) as the three-file-combo.
That's why I'm so confused.
Im honestly glad you guys know what your talking about

The .pit file is only needed by three-file-combo.
Then you can check also the repartition.
If you have one file .tar, the .pit-file is senseless and never should check repartition.
Sure in one file you have nearly the same "files" like in three, but in three-file they can be written separatly on right partition.
Mates don't get me wrong but just accept it
I'm not a dev or scripter but but flashed a lot.
Never bricked my phone but often hanging in bootloop and so on.
And like you see the way with re-partition can help.
I Never flashed a stock Rom since I had my SGS II, but like I said I'm flashing a lot and I had the SGS before, too
Hope all question are answered.
If not pls ask devs for more info.
But that's the general things I can tell you

Wrong, you can use it with both single tarball archive or with the 3 component tarball. You don't need to repartition the device unless you need to change the partition layout for whatever reason or you've damaged your partition layout.

1) Right, he damaged it so he needed it.
2) No you shouldn't use it by one file flash!
Read threads and experiences from users which have probs after flashing like this if at all possible to flash.
But however I don't wanna say anybody how to flash.
That's my and also a lot of other user experience

You should have read and learned enough to avoid making a mistake in the first place, but if you will tell us what you have done, maybe you'll get some help. What exactly did you flash with Odin? Provide a link to it? You did not get the warning on boot from flashing stock. What method did you use to try to enter download mode? To try to enter Recovery?

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.
I have flashed the firmware you would have flashed and it is in a boot loop with the att boot image

I'd try using Odin to flash the stock firmware for your phone (Can be found on Samfirmware).

Unable to enter Download Mode
I flashed a wrong ROM as well, but my problem is that I can't enter Download Mode to re-flash the device with Odin.
Any idea?
Thanks

Are you able to get into recovery mode still? For download mode make sure your holding down the correct key combination to get into download mode. You can also try using a USB Download jig which you can get from here, which when plugged into the phone will force the phone into download mode. As a fair warning the download jig's don't usually work with newer model phones but for a couple bucks it's worth a try. Let me know if you still have questions.
Motherboard dead?
Sorry to invade this post. I would just like to have confirmation on my device and it's pretty similar to what is found here. The only way I can access download mode is by pressing Q+Power and then adding the battery. Odin connects to everything, I can even flash the firmware from Bell for my Galaxy gt-i5510M and it PASS. But I can't still power it up, is the motherboard or something similar dead?
Thanks

If your device can still access download mode and Odin can successfully connect to your device an flash the firmware your device's motherboard is not dead. Try re-flashing the firmware to your device and checking auto-reboot option in Odin this way when the firmware finishes flashing the device will automatically reboot and hopefully power on then.
Thanks for the fast answer, you've been answering 3 people back on this thread, impressive.
Unfortunately I made sure of that, the auto reboot was checked but it doesn't reboot the device. I wanted to put a screenshot but I didn't realize you need around 10 posts to be able to post outside links. I've been looking through xda for a while but never posting.
I'm used to adb, so Odin is a bit new I have to admit. I've put the ops file, callisto in this case, in the appropriate ops , and then the One Package file I got from samfirmware "I5510UGKC5_I5510BMCKC5_BMC". Is there something else I could flash? It wouldn't be like some other phones where I could put down a Custom Recovery, go back to stock, etc. ?

To clarify did you put the firmware in the correct slot in Odin (PDA slot in this case) when flashing? Also double check your flashing the correct firmware for your device, as that could also be part of the problem.
Well you figured some things that were wrong. I was putting it in the one package slot. So I tried in the PDA slot, but it said "Invalid Image Type". From the sticker inside the battery compartment, it does say it's the GT-I5510M, so the 551 from Bell Canada it seems. But it's not easy to find a firmware for it, and the only one I found is at sammobile. There's plenty others under GT-I5510, but they're all European.
Any idea what I could use instead? The full name of the firmware I have is: "I5510UGKC5_BMCKC5_HOMEDOWNLOAD_TEST.tar" or "I5510UGKC5_I5510BMCKC5_BMC.zip" for the zip.
Thanks a lot for following this.

You can try ignoring the "Invalid Image Type" error and trying to flash anyway just don't unplug your phone from Odin until it fully completes the process.

I did, but didn't work, I should have mentioned that. So the screen is still blank. But another driver got recognized and installed once the firmware was installed, Samsung com 3 if I remember well. I was hoping when I saw that!

With the new COM port being recognized try the procedure again and see if it has any different results.
sorry to interrupt you people.. but are you sure that it is a proper firmware file. because the pda file is .tar file. also, try entering the recovery mode and flashing a cwm recovery. then check if the system is mounted.
Sorry I've been away, meaning no phone and laptop with me. Thanks for the replies. I tried to flash again the firmware last week but nothing happened unfortunately.

I can't access recovery mode, only download mode by simultaneously putting the battery back in and pushing Q+Power. But I am wondering also if it could be a wrong firmware... Can I just flash a custom rom through Odin? Would that make up for it? Anything to having back in working order.

Guy...you're in the wrong area.
I have never put together an odin package before...so I am no help there. However, if you are unable to get into recovery because of your broken volume up button...why not try this...

I think it's been suggested to you before. This will get you into recovery...all you need is root.

Why don't you give this a shot....
If you are willing to unroot and root again, here's what I've been doing to return to stock.
1 - Put phone in "Download Mode" - phone connected to PC
2 - Start Samsung Kies (make sure you have the latest.....)
3 - From Kies, click on tools then "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization"
4 - You will be prompted to enter ESN and model number (it is ok to pull the battery out to get ESN and Model - phone won't die with battery pulled at that point)
5 - And follow the prompts
The process does take some time. I have successfully done this many times with success.
Try it out to see if that might help you.
Good Luck!
