I flashed the Cognition Cognition S2 v1.14 and the phone was wortking.
after a problem with market updates i wiped the cache through CWM and warket was working again updating even large files. May i clicked on something, that i am not aware of too.
however i notced after a time a message "SIM card not present", after checking more details the Baseband Versions is reported as "Unknown".
I tried:
- flash a stock KE7, KF2 ROM with Odin
- reflash the Cognition ROM with CWM
- reflash radio separately with Odin
- restore two previous Nandroid backups with CWM
nothing worked ...
Is there any possibility to repair the phone except RMA it ?
thanks.
To RAM you will need a stock or original rom and reset custom rom counter to zero.
Custom rom and root both void warranty .

i just ordered the USB JIG.
after i get it, i will immediately reset the counter, flash stock FW, wipe user data, format Internal SD and claim warranty.
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.
I am pretty new at this. I have flashed the phone a couple of times after I updated to ICS through Kies (bad move)! Am currently using Gingerbread 2.3.6 but I now want to go back to a clean all new original stock firmware as my phone keeps randomly going into Kernel Panic Mode.
So, my Q is; Can I first go into recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, reboot phone and THEN flash with Odin? Meaning will the phone be capable of being flashed with Odin after all the wiping or will I need to save the firmware zip file on SD card and flash boot from there? I have the original stock firmware and I would like to have my phone as it was! I am NOT ROOTED nor do I want to be!
I just want my phone as it was! No more buggy bugs!
Please help! Have scoured the net, no answers to this particular question!

To have stock do this:
this is en example that help u flash with odin. (Proceed at your own risk)
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.

I ALREADY know that thanks very much, it would be nice to have a proper answer to the proper question I PROPERLY asked.
Yes.
You can factory reset via stock recovery no problems.
When you flash stock Samsung firmware via odin you will end up with a completely new and clean system as long as the factory reset has been done prior to flashing or if the firmware is a wipe version.
What you will still have is all the leftover directories and files on your internal sd card. You can simply delete all of these and factory reset.
There you go. Clean New stock firmware.

Quote of the decade by JJE
"bushybox has gone for a shave so kindly leave the room."
Can anyone link to a guide about restoring my SGS2 to factory settings? I've moved to a Galaxy Nexus and will sell my SGS2 with Envirofone, of the mobile recycling companies.
Much appreciated!
Questions belong in the Q&A section!
Also, the information on how to restore your phone to factory defaults is covered by the user manual and does not require xda-developers.
if you are on a stock rom, unrooted, just go through the settings menu and somewhere in location and security (i believe) you should find what you are looking for. make sure to also format the internal sd card.
For Android ICS
Settings> Backup and Reset > Factory Data reset
Settings> Storage> Erase USB storage
Settings> Storage> Erase SD card
Assuming you have CWM/Recovery installed, format cache, data, system, & internal sd card in Recovery, flash stock rom in Odin then reset flash counter. Done.
If you don't have CWM/Recovery & not rooted, do as Chef Tony said (definitely not an XDA thing if you're not the sort of person who tinkers with the phone/doesn't root or run non-stock firmware).

Sorry I was not clear. I have one of the nightly CM 4.0.4 builds so it will be the former option. Can I reset the flash counter in Odin, and will the Odin flash also remove CWM and reinstall the stock kernel?
Thanks
Can you reset the flash counter in/with Odin ? Um, no
To reset the flash counter, you need Triangle Away if you're running ICS bootloaders, or a jig if you're running the old bootloader. Now that I think of it, if you're running ICS bootloaders, reset the flash counter with Triangle Away first, before you format everything in CWM & before you flash a stock rom as it requires root. Flashing the stock rom in Odin won't affect the flash counter.
Doing all those formats in CWM before you flash the stock rom will remove root (and everything else). When you flash a stock rom in Odin it will include a stock kernel.

Thanks. Didn't know about Triangle Away, great app. Wiped everything in CWM, and then tried to restore two separate 4.0.3 images found here. Both times Odin finished fine, but after reboot the phone doesn't progress past the animated "S". Any ideas?

Go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock firmware and flash through odin.

Boot into recovery & try a factory reset/wipe before you do anything else.

That, gentlemen, did it. Used the Open Europe firmware listed here and the instructions here. Many thanks for the help - off to enjoy JB on the Nexus now.
Hi, do you know which files left after flashing another stock rom into device? No matter system file or any type of any other file. What is the thing that flashing cannot change in device?
and
if there is, is it possible to reset ALL?
Flashing a stock rom will replace system files; files like music and videos etc should stay on the internal storage.
If you want to clear all items off your phone then you should:
1. Format the internal storage, can be done through Settings on the device
2. A factory reset from the recovery menu.
3. Clear Dalvik Cache if your recovery menu allows the option.
Edit: Some stock roms do not have modem files etc, if the stock rom you are about to flash does not have a modem file then the original modem file will remain.

When I flashed my stock ICS, the internal memory was formatted :silly: , so copy your stuff to sd card and remember to remove it before flashing :good:
Flashing a zip from recovery is not going to format anything, if you do not tell it to. However if you flash a custom rom it may not boot if you have not wiped your data.

Not sure if it's Android version related but have flashed stock firmwares before and have had photos (not in DCIM) remain on the phone.
Still, common sense to take anything off the phone that you want before clearing it down.
Thank you for replies,
I asked it because after I flashed a stock rom into my device, for awhile later system status changed from normal to modified although i didn't root or anything else to effect system. I think there are some files left after flashing and it causes my system to realize there are something changed. What I have to do to turn my device into never used status?

You need to use Triangle Away, here's the link to the original thread - [root] Triangle Away
Worked for me
Oops, this is the thread that I meant! - [2012.11.08][ROOT] TriangleAway v2.36

I flashed Wanamlite 3.7 custom rom and then went to I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4 so I could officially update to JB). Before flashing I9300XXBLG8 I used Triangle Away and then flashed the firmware.
There's a warning on the page that some firmwares will not reset.
I wrote a little guide on another forum for restoring the warranty on an S3, may help?
1) Carry out the usual procedures such as backing up anything you want to keep, contacts, sms, data etc.
2) Install and run Triangle Away on your device (please read the XDA thread and take note of the 'in app' warnings.
3) Once Triangle Away application has been used the phone will reboot. Turn off the phone and go into download mode, check the statuses say 'No' & 'Official'.
4) While in Download Mode boot straight into to Recovery Mode and Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
5) Put the phone into download mode.
6) Extract the Stock Firmware so that you have a .MD5 file.
7) Open Odin and click on the PDA field and select the .MD5 file. Leave all other options alone.
8) Plug the phone in using USB cable, wait for yellow 'com port' to appear and hit start.
9) Leave the PC and phone alone until the process has finished and the phone has fully booted.
Your phone should now have a valid warranty but we should check a few things to make sure this is the case.
Check your firmware is the same as the firmware you have downloaded:
Dial *#1234# to bring up the firmware version. If your CSC is incorrect then we will need to change this.
To change your CSC you will need your IMEI number.
Dial *#06# and note down the 15 digit number on a piece paper.
Dial *#272*yourIMEI# and install your relevant CSC (I'm in the UK and Network Unlocked so my CSC = BTU). Your phone will factory reset and reboot.
Your phone is pretty much ready now. If you wish to send off your phone for repair or any other reason that may require the warranty to be valid then continue on to make sure there is no sign of tampering with the phone.
Once the phone has booted up, format the internal storage from Menu > Settings > Storage > Format SD card
If you wish you can then connect the phone to Samsung Kies on the PC and check for any updates.
Double check that both the Binary Counters have been reset.
Your phone now has a valid warranty with Samsung.
Thank you very much for this guide, I will apply all the steps one by one. But before to begin I have a couple questions:
* I don't have anything about "Dalvik Cache" in my recovery menu, is this a problem?
* I dialed *#1234#, and it says:
AP: I9300XXDLJ4
CP: I9300XXDLID
CSC: I9300OXADLJ4 something wrong?
* I'm living in austria and was using austria rom, but flashed official UK (BTU) stock rom via Odin and it is still current rom in my device. But I've found a CSC included BTU stock rom too in this forum. If I flash it, is the all gonna be fixed, maybe?

No not a problem at all, the Dalvik Cache relates to installed apps and is just another step to ensure a complete wipe.
The option to wipe Dalvik Cache is usually found in CWM recovery, so if no CWM is installed then you are unable to do so.
Thank you for the info, so nothing to worry about Dalvik thing. Do you know something about my other two question too?

1. The firmware shouldn't be a problem, it's for the UK S3 but the modem is European...your phone is network unlocked isn't it?
2. It shouldn't be a problem and if you do encounter problems then I would jut flash the LJ4 firmware again.
I was searching about it right now. And I realized that my phone was network locked. I used an app called GalaxSim Unlock and now it is unlocked

Step 3 was succesfully. But after I did 4th and came back into download mode, counter was 1 and status was custom. That's why I had to do all once again and this time skipped the 4th step. So I flashed the stock rom without wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. Does it make a problem?

Not sure if the firmware LJ4 is giving you the problem but you could try flashing I9300XXBLG8 and then updating through Kies to LJ4?
