Alright, so I feel like a huge noob :| but i Boot Looped my Samsung Galaxy SII, I was trying to flash a new ROM but they kept failing, and I didn't do a backup the second time I formatted my phone (after restoring it from the first time I BLed it tonight). Also, I've seen on a few threads that I can do the Down Volume + Power to go to the downloader screen and then go to ODIN and flash a stock ROM but i cannot get my phone and ODIN to connect to each other (I made sure I had all KIES programs closed via task manager and that it connects via Device Manager).
Any Advice???
Update: Alright, after downloading like 2 different versions of ODIN I finally got it to connect!!!! But now I'm stuck, I cannot find a rom thats a .tar nor the stock rom for my phone (samsung galaxy s II I9100 sprint) and yes, i have looked on the thread where it has all the stock roms.
advise?
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work (PC/phone don't recognise each other):-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
Try everything on this list if necessary. And if all this fails, try a different PC. If the different PC doesn't work first try, go thru as many of the above steps as you need to with the 2nd PC. If that still doesn't work, either user error or possibly HW problem with phone.
[READ THIS] Got a Boot Loop? Don't post a New Thread!
@Sejk97 Hahahaha ;-) Classic.
I've tried almost all of those and nothing....if none work any ideas on what to do???
And to the guy above me with the huge font :| i did all 8 steps 3 times before I ever thought about posting this :|
Or simply be connected to internet when you plug your phone in Odin mode. Specially if windows 7, it will install some drivers and will work after that
@atifsh I'm always connected to the internet, no go :\
@MistahBungle I tested both the different ROMs and they both tested fine
If you've tried all those steps with one PC & it's a no go, you'll need to try a different PC as per my post. Again, if still no go with the 2nd PC, who knows ? Could be anything.
Edit to add - If you've tried 'almost all of those', you need to try the things you haven't tried yet (almost all isn't all).

Sprint user means you are in the wrong place, and have been flashing the wrong firmware to your Epic 4G Touch, aka SPH-D710. (look on the label under your battery) That's a totally different phone from an I9100. Your boot screen reads I9100 because you've been flashing I9100 firmwares.
I'd advise you to go to the Epic 4G Touch forums for help.

I've just upgraded to ICS through Kies and wanted to get straight back to root but for some reason, the new ICS Vodafone UK kernel posted by Chainfire (and verified by others) won't flash for me, it just does nothing for 30 seconds then says Fail.
I think I'm doing everything right but have tried it 3 or 4 times without success. Anyone else had this problem and can anyone help?
Cheers.

Your computer should be online, new firmware, computer will find and install drivers again on download mode. Did you get yellow thingy on Odin? If not that's the problem

Yellow COM thing you mean? Yeah I got that, everything seemed as normal.
Stuff to try when you can't flash with Odin:-
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)

Try all of these if necessary. And I mean all, not just one or two & then go "It still won't work"; "Did you go thru every step ?" "No, I only did the first two" *facepalm*
Then, if all else fails, try a different PC. And if that doesn't work, go thru all the steps with the different PC. And if it still doesn't work, you're probably boned.
+ if you are on Windows 7 run it as administrator

Hello, I am Algerian So i don't speak english very well (like you ) so please don't laught about my language
I have the same probleme with my S2
pda : i9100BULPC
PHONE / I9100BULP6
CSC : I9100VODLP8
MY phone is : SGS2 I9100P
ME : neeewwwww USAGE OF ANDROID
Ihave try all your proposations without success .
Ok, please, anyone, help me!
I've rooted my phone, using a zerg method ive seen on galaxys2root.com, at first everything worked brilliantly, customs roms and all, but the phone usb drivers are gone.
no pc or mac ive tried can detect my phone, i cant move any files (unless i do it over wi-fi), i cant select usb debug mode, it say cable is connected even when there is no cable connected, ive tried many methods to connect the phone but none work.
so now i cant use odin to flash anything since my phone is always being detected as an unknown device.
im desperate, i dont know what to do.
so please anyone help me out there ... i guess all i can offer for help is a 10$ steam game to whoever finds a solutiin
im not quite sure whats wrong with your usb but you can try mobile odin to flash.
The are 2 things that I Would try, try this first:
Download the CWM version of "Siyah kernel" (v3 is best)
Here is a link
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/05/10/siyahkernel-v3-2-1/
Flash it in to CWM recovery (if you need instructions on how to flash in to CWM let me know) (to enter cwm recovery do the following:
Turn phone off
Press the home+ volume up+ power button, and do not release your fingers off the buttons till you see the sgs2 boot logo)
If your phone still doesn't work properly after the above, do the following:
Find a CWM flasherble rom (any will do as you are only flashing it so as to be able to use Odin for what ever rom it is you want to install, although you can also find a nice rom that is cwm flasherble, pure ics v7. 3 is very nice!) and download it from your phone
Make titanium backup of all your apps
Go in to CWM recovery and select "install zip from sd card"
Click "yes"
And hopefully when that has finished it should have fixed the issue you are having, and then you can install the rom you were on originally or a rom that you like.
Hope this helped
Cheers

Probable not following instruction like
Question in wrong forum
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

Well, thanks for the reply guys but still not working, its driving me nuts, no pc can pick up my phone, its only being seen as unknown device, ODIN cant see my phone when its in download mode.
i installed that room, ICS resurrection remix, the problem managed to find its away to that also.

And if you still don't have any joy, probably user error somewhere along the line or a hardware issue.
I'm sure its a user error, cause the phone realizes that usb is connected when i connect. but no other device can recognize the phone (i tried 2 windows pc's and one os x machine).
I'm not an expert but is it possible that the phone information got deleted?

Yes if Kies is not installed no USB drivers .
Also clean USB port on the phone .
Getting a lot of i used that xxx site and rooted or flashed now broke help asked from here without knowing what the original site asked you to do or firmware used .It becomes hard to guess what's wrong .

Did you o a factory reset, and full wipe before you installed the rom?

Ok, Kies is installed with drivers, everything was working fine, then i used a Zerg method i found on galaxys2root.com to root the phone, after that it all went to hell.
Well, for the heck of it, i install MIUI, and usb mount is still not working, this is driving me nuts!
Did you make sure you did a full wipe of the phone before you installed the rom?.
And have you tried flashing siyah v3.2?
Flash the kernel and tell me how you get on.

i made a full swipe, well ill flash siyah with miui now, just a sec mate, and really, thanks for replying everyone.
fishingfon, i installed Siyah, rebooted the phone, the pc picked it up and opened the autoplay, then it declared it as unkown device and back to square one.
everytime i reboot the phone, the pc sees it for a few secs now then unknown device... i THINK that we're on to something o.o
Have you tried using another usb cable? As if it is broken that would explain the problems you are having. Abd have you tried it of a different pc?
And if you have an external sd card in the phone, try removing it And then rebooting.

Same thing, could be an appilcation conflict on the phone ? when i reboot the window show and then goes, maybe the phone is a loading an app which screws up with the USB?
Have you tried the above?.
Have you tried enabling usb mass storage?.
I dint think it would be an app, as they are apps that people use all the time.
Did you make sure you used the currect root method for your model?
Did you make sure your phone was either a I9100 or and I9100T model before before tou rooted. If it was the wring model rhat might explain your problems, what model is your phone?
If none of the above works the only thing I can think of is that the phones hardware is broken.

If you remove the backplate off the phone, and remove the battery, rhe should be a label with the model on it

You could try downloading Mobile Odin Pro from Google Play. Then go to Samfirmware.com and download your original firmware that came with the phone,( NOT A CUSTOM ROM). Put the firmware on the root directory of your sd card. Run Mobile Odin and install the firmware.

Try this version of ODIN instead. Its what I use.
If that doesnt work then you should definitely get yourself a official Samsung cable in case there are pin connections missing in the non-samsung that is needed.
Also, no you dont need to change kernel when using download mode. You're using download mode right not recovery?? (Volume DOWN + Home + Power).

i am using samsung original cable since the prevous reply
and i've tryed that v1.85 and no new to tell !

Yeah, what files are you actually trying to flash? Give specific details of which specific filenames your trying to flash and link to where you downloaded files.

Hi,
I've been combing these forums for a solution for my problem but can't seem to find one....
I've been using a guide on androidjinn to root my phone and install jelly bean.
I've had problems getting EFS pro to recognise my phone.
It simply says "device not connected" even though my computer recognises the device. What i have done so far -
*i have all the latest usb drivers installed*.
*I've tried it with USB debugging enabled (and disabled). *
*i've taken out the external SD.*
*I've also used a newer version (2.0.17) as well as the version in the guide above.*
*I've attempted all above on a friend's laptop (so it's not my computer)*
A simple question would be - do I need to root my phone before I can back up my EFS (I'm assuming efs pro allows me not to have to do this)? The one in the guide "superoneclick" doesn't seem to work with my phone either.
Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong? or have any alternatives for backing up my EFS with (or without rooting), or a rooter that will work (superoneclick just freezes for me)
any help would be much appreciated as this has been a week long headache for me!
thanks in advance.
I should add, I've installed kies as well in an attempt to update the usb drivers (which was as painfully slow as itunes!) it had problems recognising my phone as well...
I can still look at my phone's files and folders on my computer/ file explorer, cut/paste move files around etc.
I installed Odin and it can't seem to recognise my phone either. I figure it's a USB problem. I'd say it's my cable but it works fine for using my phone like a hardrive.

I not sure but i think you do need to root your phone to backup EFS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 try this to root your phone??
hope thats helped a little. tho. there does seem to be some sort of underlying usb issue that i have no advise on as i've never come accross it. sorry. Good luck (???usb debug is selected etc???)
Yes, you need a rooted phone in order to backup EFS (by design/for obvious reasons. Imagine if 'ordinary users' had the ability to potentially delete EFS folders/files ?).
When Odin won't work, it's a matter of being methodical, so....
Stuff to try when Odin won't work (not all of this will apply to your situation):-
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. If it won't work first time on the 2nd PC, go thru the above steps.
For some reasons, n00bs seem to think newer is better, and many people have been having problems flashing with Odin 3. Don't use it. Use an earlier version (search on here/Google). Many people have found as soon as they try an earlier version it works first go. So if you have been trying with Odin 3, try an earlier version before you go thru the above list.
And dont attempt anything until you get Odin recognizing your phone.
If you flash something through recovery/cwm,you can get situations where the phone wont boot and recovery/cwm is lost.

So I soft bricked my S II plus and I when tried to access ODIN to flash an official ROM , ODIN doesnt detect it , i've tried installing all the drivers ,changing USB cables and even pc's still it doesn't work , I got a fried to bring his S III to test with my pc and ODIN doesnt register even his device .
is there any way i can flash to stock ROM and just turn everything back to normal using CWM ? I just dont wanna root my phone no mpre
There was a reply to a thread in Q&A a couple of hours ago where someone listed the troubleshooting steps for when 'Odin doesn't work'. Search for that thread (skim similar threads in Q&A over the past 12 hrs or so), go through the steps.

Nothing seems to be working to get ODIN to detect it :/
I tried to flash ROM with CWM it just says "(bad)"
If you've tried everything (and I mean everything. Not 2 or 3 things) including trying with different PC's, without a screenshot/pic of the Odin output we'd have absolutely no idea why it's failing. However, if you'd care to give us a pic/screenshot of the Odin output when you try & flash, maybe we can figure out why.

I would have thought my post was pretty clear. You're obviously out of your depth & shouldn't be messing with your phone. What we need is a pic/screenshot of the Odin screen from your PC when it's failing like this
I just got too excited when everyone was rooting their phones , shouldn't have done it at all :/
My problem is no (yellow bar) is coming out from odin when i plug in download mode at first it could but after i formatted my phone from CWM it couldnt detect anymore , and I tried with two other laptops and even a different cable
Im so sorry to take up your time :/
(ODIN just looks like normal when i plug everything in :S)
OK. I thought Odin could detect OK but the flash was failing at that stage. So you still can't get the phone & PC to recognise each other given everything you've tried.
Honestly, I can't think of anything else you can do. I'd suggest you keep trying tho. Not a lot else you can do beyond that (Unless there's something really simple/obvious we're all missing here).
Edit -Right. List everything, and I mean everything you've tried to try and get the phone & PC to recognise each other/get Odin to work. Every single little step. Details. The more details you provide, the better the chance you get your phone fixed. The less details you provide, the less likely that is to happen.

-Friends S III ( sadly even his wasn't detected)
-Formatting every single option there was in CWM
-tried flashing using CWM (failed with installation aborted *bad*)
- I even ended Kies processor before running ODIN
- windows update
You missed:-
Different USB ports (and different USB ports on different PC's - you must use a 'mainboard' port, if you don't know what it is, Google it).
Try Odin V1.3
Have you used the USB cable that came with the phone ? Uninstall Kies. Reboot. Redownload Kies from Samsung website. Reinstall. Reboot. Run Odin as administrator in Windows (R-click the Odin .exe & choose 'run as administrator').
That's all I got given it's almost 3.30am here.

There, your friend's SIII wasn't recognised. You wanna pay a friend a visit to use his/her pc with no kies pre-installed. You go and get it's latest version and repeat all steps.

Are you hitting 'end process tree' when you close Kies in Windoze Task Manager ? It's important anything associated w/Kies is closed, not just the main application.
