yes i noticed other people post similar threads. but i could not find any answer to my issue, so i post another one. if i missed something, please pointed it out for me by all means.
My SGS2 is with Vodafone Australia.
i already upgraded it to ICS. but i do remember what rom i used when i upgraded it, the Kies cant recognise my phone. So last night, i downloaded another rom and planned to reflash the phone with a stock rom. it turned out all mess!
the flashing failed with boot.bin

then i did some research and reckoned i might use the wrong rom, so just finished downloading another version: I9100TDULP9_I9100TVAULP7_I9100TDULP4_HOME.tar
but the issue is exactly same.
i use the rom for PDA, PHONE and CSC, didnt select repartition and not touch PIT either.
the phone is GT-I9100T.
Guys, please help me. i am a noob.
restart pc
kill kies
download the file again preferable from checkfus (builtin curruption check)
put the phone in download mode, connect the cable
put the file in pda.
all the new files i see are one file tar.md5 unless its different fro T
so just put in pda and flash.
edit: do not forget to wipe before nd after for optimal working

FIRMWARE FOR GT-I9100T
the problem was fixed.
it seems i had to put both odin.exe and odin.ill into one folder (i extracted them on the desktop at first) or i should not load the rom file into PDA, CSC and PHONE. as there was only one file, i only needed to load it in PDA.

yes, it is where i downloaded the roms. i guess the first one i got was wrong, the second should be good. thanks.
but now, i have another issue with Kies. even though i used the "official" voda's rom, Kies still reckon "Your device does not support software update via Kies"
any clue?
Kies should work now that you've flashed the Voda ICS rom, however, for some reason (I have no idea why it doesn't work sometimes, perhaps someone else on here does ?), you'll find Kies still doesn't work even tho the stock rom contains the correct CSC, etc.
You could muck around for ages trying to find a solution to this, or you could simply do what most people on here who have found themselves in your situation do & that is to use Odin to flash future stock rom 'updates'.
Regardless of whether Kies works or not now, you do have the most up to date stock rom available for Voda, so you won't need to flash another stock rom until Voda issue another update (last one before recent ICS was in November).
Get the PC version of Checkfus, and when Voda do issue another update, you'll be able to easily download same & flash it via Odin.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ADVICE! Odin failed for me after several attempts, which scared the crap out of me as it was my first time flashing a ROM on my SGS2...
Since there's only one file in the downloaded ROM, you only need to specify the file in the PDA section!!! That's it so simple... the guides need to be updated!!

And the version i used also has XX ( i9100XXKG1 )
IS MY DEVICE FU**ED UP
No, you can still flash back the Chinese firmware to it and it will recover but you seem to miss all the posts about not attempting to flashing international firmware to Chinese devices and vice versa. You also missed the warnings of not using .pit file and repartitioning the device.
Go download a Chinese firmware and flash it to the device.
okay thanks a lot i will try to search for the chinese V...
But that mean that i am stuck with this version only...
Can you link me to the post that talking about this version...

You will need to get it from Samfirmware as I've made a decision not to upload Chinese firmware here to prevent people from flashing it to their devices.

i'm stuck with the same issue.....
any body can help please??
I had a S2 i777, then I got a S3 so I gave the S2 to my mother. I just installed fresh ShoStock because I thought that would work well. It worked ok, but after about a month I came home and she said it wasnt working.
It appeared to be bootlooping at the ShoStock logo. I downloaded a new rom for it on my phone the put the SD card in her phone, booted into clockwork and tried flashing it. Trying to wipe or flash at all results in hanging for a few minutes then rebooting and getting stuck at the Samsung S2 logo now. Since then I've tried various odin methods for flashing to unbrick around xda. Every time I try to flash with odin, it either says error or it just hangs until I manually stop it after 30+ minutes. I've even got as desperate as to have Kies revert it to stock, it also hangs at 2%.
At this moment, you can see the screen its stuck it in the attached screenshot, its probably worth noting its been at this screen ever since the first Odin flash failed.
I do have a microUSB jig so I can kick it into download mode if I have to. Anyone got any ideas :f
Try the following procedure exactly as written. In case the problem is nand read/write corruption, this should clear it and get the phone working again.
1) Go to this post and download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA without ticking Re-Partitioning.
2) Successful? Nice. Next, flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution from the Download Repository, I777UCKH7 including the bootloaders and everything, in the PDA slot.
3) If that is successful you are done. If it is not, then:
4) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning.
5) Flash the Kernel, as in step 1.
6) Flash the full stock Gingerbread distribution, as in step 2.
When I try and flash Siyah in Odin for step 1, it just hangs.

The box at the top says kernel and the progress bar goes all the way across, it will never get past this.
Since it won't flash the kernel, the next thing to suspect and try to find out if the cable is faulty. Or anything in the path from the computer to the phone. So...
Try a different cable, or as many different cables as you can put your hands on.
Try different ports on the computer, and use the ones attached directly to the motherboard if it is a desktop.
Try a different computer.
In some cases where there is a connection problem, just flashing repeatedly may eventually result in a pass, as some have reported.
Tried it on two different laptops, with three different microUSB cables on each, no dice.
I tried flashing the kernel from step one you gave, I also tried the I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL Odin3 One-click from the Download Repository and it hangs at:

I don't have any additional suggestions for trying to fix it yourself. The problem could be one of several things. It doesn't seem like a simple soft brick. Maybe it could be damaged memory or some other hardware failure. Or maybe not.
If you are close to an AT&T service center, maybe you could take it by and ask them to flash it back to stock for you. If that fails, then at least you are pretty sure the problem is in the phone, not the connection. I realize it is not under warranty any longer, but they should at least try that for you.
You could send it to Samsung repair center to be worked on. They would probably fix it, but it won't be free, and it will also take two to three weeks. If it were me, I would call them first and discuss the issue with them.
Give these guys a call or message them and tell them your problem and they can most likely fix it. I have had work done by them in the past there quick and there professional...

As the title states, I am currently trying to flash my phone back to stock to fix a soft brick. I was trying to get the latest update since I was on a custom ROM and couldn't get the OTA. I got the firmware from Sammobile, from what I understand to be a reputable place to get them. The flash in Odin seemed to go normally until it had the phone restart, It is now is a loop of flashing the "Galaxy Note II" screen. And I had CWM installed, but I cannot get to the recovery with it in this loop.
Yes, I have read the sticky before posting this. I am doing the only recommended thing I can find to do for this sort problem, flash it back to stock. I have the stock firmware, directly from the link in the sticky, and when I go to start it on Odin this is what I get:

Hi,
Hope you used pit file in odin along with rom file. Also, do a factory reset after successful odin.

Yep, I believe that was the problem. I didn't know it needed the PIT for this.
The phone lives again, but it's strange. The flash was almost done, got to the sboot, and failed. My phone had "unsupported version" in red on the Odin screen. I rebooted the phone, it went to the android update screen, and now it is working like it did before all this.
Now the question is, why did the 4.3 firmware send it into a boot loop? Is the file on Sammobile the right one? Would it be better to just get my phone back to stock with a stock recovery, and get the update OTA?
It is possible that the usb port I used was bad, I seriously need to remember not to use the front ports for something like this...
I need to read up more on this so I don't screw it up next time.

It is important to note that if you take the OTA, it WILL relock your bootloader. This means no custom recovery and no custom ROMs.
Could I get some help with my Samsung Ace? I am at a loss as to what to do next.
Early last year, I got a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5839i from Three in the UK. Like everyone with this model, I had problems with the limited storage space and bloatware, even after moving apps to the SD card. After some research, I downloaded Titanium and used it to remove the bloatware. Unfortunately, I wasn't careful enough and I must have deleted one or more core files, because now I get the 'android.process.acore' error message very frequently and I am unable to receive/make calls or receive/send text messages.
I have been looking on several android forums, but I have to say I find all the terminology confusing: ROMS, kernels, Odin, SplitFus, flashing – help!
After trying many things suggested on various threads in the forums (all unsuccessfully), I really just want to go back to the way the phone was originally, and then try again with Titanium (more carefully this time!). Is that even possible?
One potentially useful thing that I have learned from the forums is that I could use firmware for the 5830i, even though my phone is the 5839i. The Three firmware for the model 5839i is available on Sammobile, so I would prefer to use that.
However, when I tried to load the 5839i firmware file using Odin 3.09, this happened:

What should I do?

go search your odin problem on google.
after successful went into the originally rom i recommend you to flash simplicity v4 as it only take 4 MB on Internal Memory and you will have a lot of free memory and you will not need to risk with that titanium

I followed all of the instructions in that thread, but no luck. I used firmware for both the S5839i (single file) and the S5830i (multi files) in each of Odin 1.85, 3.07, and 3.09 (so, six attempts in total) but each combination either failed or, in the case of Odin 1.85, did not move out of Setup Connection.
What is going wrong? Is there something really obvious that I am failing to do? I have the USB Debugging mode enabled on my phone. What else am I doing wrong?

So today I decided to try and flash the stock firmware for my s6 edge to remove my root on my phone. Looked pretty easy on YouTube and online a bit and seemed fine. Did the steps and got an Odin would go past cm.bin, tried G925FXXU3DPB8_G925FVFG3DPB8_G925FXXU3DPB8_HOME.tar.md5, G925FXXU3DPBG_G925FBTU3DPB1_G925FXXU3DPB6_HOME.tar.md5 neither worked.
Then I tired G925FXXU3DPBG_G925FBTU3DPB1_G925FXXU3DPB6_HOME.tar.md5 same thing gets stuck on cm.bin...
So I then tried G925FXXU1AOCZ_G925FVFG1AOC4_G925FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar.md5 and this time I get:

Using Odin v3.12 and v3.10.6 both seem to give the same result.
The phone is the GSM-G925F UK Unlocked which I think is BTU but I'm not sure, I got the phone through The CarphoneWarehouse on a Vodafone Contract. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this stuff and I don't know what I can do... If you need any other information to help me please ask! I'm begging if anyone could help me fix this because I need to fix this ASAP, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Had the same problem on an SM-G920F
Just to salute you for mentioning the BTU stock ROM. Was trying ages to find something that works, restoring stock on my son's S6. Found out the hard way that with the Nougat ROM I flashed, I killed the capability to use the Gear VR.
In the end it worked like a clockwork using the latest BTU stock I got from SAMMobile.
