Hey all,
Phone went into download mode two nights ago. No clue how. couldnt get out of it. talked to at&t and they said i tried to root it which i certainly did up to that point.
Long story short, I get home and use odin to get ICS on there and may have completely screwed up my phone. I have tried many of the threads/stickies which seem to keep sending me in a loop.
Here is whats on my download screen: ODIN MODE Product name: GT-i9100 Custom Binary download: yes(4 counts) Current Binary: Custom
I tried to follow @Entropy512 thread but to no avail. I am stuck on the AT&T loading screen.
I have also tried to follow the "Recovering an ATT Galaxy S2 after flashing GT-I9100 Firmware" and still no good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294574
IDK what I am doing wrong, or where I am not reading.
PLEASE HELP. I FEEL LOST WITHOUT MY PHONE. ITS BEEN ONE WHOLE DAY! (no but seriously, i feel my life is a mess cuz no phone)
Yeah flashing i9100 firmware effs your phone up

Sorry dude that is why it is SO important to understand EVERYTHING before doing ANYTHING..... "You flashed param.lfs and secondary bootloader along with the I9100 rom. Go to the Dowlolad Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries using the one-click downloader." via creepyncrawly

Did you use the one-click downloader? And which version did you use, the one from the return to stock guide, or the one from the Download Repository? If you didn't use the one from the Download Repository, which contians the bootloaders and param lfs, then you should first try to flash that, since you almost certainly flashed I9100 bootloaders and param onto your phone.

With your phone off and unplugged. Enter download mode by pressing and holding the power and volume down buttons and plugging on the USB cable before the lights blink.

Follow the guide you linked, except refer to step 3 special problems, and go to the Download Repository and get the version of the stock rom that contains bootloaders and param.lfs. Your flashcounter says you have flashed the I9100 secondary bootloader, so the package you flash needs to replace that and the others from I9100.
If i remember, you already flashed that? and it failed? yes, well if it fails again, try flashing the separate parts individually, starting with the param.lfs, then sbl.bin.
just picked up jig....
and its not working....
used 3 100ohm 1watt resistors from radio shack...
tried to connect to 4th and 5th pin from my understanding they are on the right side of the stripped down mini usb plug....nothing happend
phone was off...held the jig for about 10 seconds...nada
turned phone into ODIN Mode....held jig for about 10 seconds...nada....
where am I going wrong...seemed so simple from the instructions...
My dude a jig has a mini usb connector that you plug in to the usb.... Not something you hold to the pins... If you get get in to DL mode you don't need the jig... Give me a few I will get on my computer and try to help you. Just put your phone down and take a deep breath. You are going to need to flash all the files one by one let me do some reading I will try to give you step by step instructions.... HOLD TIGHT

I've never made a jig so I don't know how hard it is to touch the right contacts in the microusb socket. But 1 watt resistors have fairly large diameter wire leads which would make it harder, I think. What you need to make your own jig is 1/4 watt resistors with the highest tolerance rating you can get. There are multiple threads about building a jig. if you google for them, you'll get better info than I am giving you.
But snipe2nite is right... the only thing a jig does is put you into download mode, and clear the flash counter. So, if you can get into download mode the standard way using the volume keys and usb cable, then you really don't need the jig, as far as I know. Don't know what task was talking about earlier, really.
As far as flashing the individual parts, the instructions are in the Download Repository. Only param.lfs and secondary bootloader are available as .tar's. They should go into the PDA slot in Odin3.
It's also remotely possible that the i9100 package you flashed screwed up the partition table. In that case, there is a PIT file in the Download Repository which can be put into the PIT slot in Odin3 when flashing the full package. I have the .tar package on my hard disk which I can make a dropbox link for if you need it.
Or you could use Heimdall command line to flash it, using the files available in the Download Repository. You'll need to get the correct command line arguments since I don't have that for flashing with PIT.

A question. After attempting to flash a theme... I got a bootloop. So I flashed the provided undo file. Now my phone will not boot past the Galaxy S 2 screen with the warning triangle. Any help? I'm kinda panicking...
dont you make any cwm backup first ?
i believe u can still enter recovery mode ( power + home + volume up ) ,
and do full wipe, and flash any other rom .zip .
p/s: i believe you already have root, and install any rom before
no i didnt... i was rooted. i have both cwm and download mode... but phone wont boot. I live in canada so samsung has not uploaded our stock rom files...
If it is not backup-ed, then you will have an issue.
Now, try wipe phone via CWM, clear cache and clear dalvik.
Finger's crossed it work.
If not, last choice will be install any Custom ROM and it will wipe (hopefully) all the not 'right' files.
nope.... nothing... guess i will take it in for warranty... thank you anyways my friend
I got that as well in the past, although mine was caused by incompletely flashing Cyanogen. Had a major freakout before I figured it out.
The only way I found to fix it is to flash stock firmware using Odin (and you will not be able to restore stock Canadian as it hasnt been released for us yet). I went with the xxKG2 (polish firmware I think).
There may be other ways to fix the problem but this will 99% sure take care of it. Your warranty will of course be void untill the Canadian firmware is released.
Cheers!

An additional note: from what I understand you're also getting the insecure kernel triangle. If the counter in download mode also shows that you flashed non-official firmware/kernel, your warranty could already be void. In that case Samsung may now honour their Limited Warranty Agreement.

/emmc is the external sd card, you probably don't have one in the slot so it wasn't able to mount it.
The Yellow Triangle means you had something changed in the kernel partition, so the custom binary counter went up by 1.
As for stock rom, you will have to wait for Bell Canada to release one.
If you are not looking for stock, I'd recommend CyanogenMOD7, however it is still on nightly development, which means it has it fair share of issues.
I prefer CM7 and its problem over the stock which also has a fair share of issues.
if you can use downloading mode , you can flash back stock rom. believe me it will work.
you can study how to flash back stock rom using odin here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

Are you sure you've "repeatedly" followed those instructions? You claim that flashing a stock ROM isn't possible. But those instructions require you to flash a stock ROM.
You don't have to flash the ROM that is specific to your region/carrier. Just flash ANY stock ROM to get your phone working again. Then you can flash back to whatever ROM you were on previously.
But if you wanted to get back onto whatever ROM your phone initially came with, you're out of luck.
hi all, my phone simply would not boot, it shows a down load error screen whenever i try to power up the phone.

Wow... you repartitioned the phone. Something that was repeatedly told not to do. Now you have a screwed up partition.
Now you will have to find a official stock rom for your phone, and the correct pit file, then repartition it and hope it works.
The first rule of Odin (for 99% of us) : you never flash a PIT file.
I feel like that should be stickied front page. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble and possibly around 700$.

Same problem? You mean you repartitioned the phone as well?
Double check the md5 checksum to see if it is the same as posted if it is posted at all. If not, double check the file size to see if they are the same. Most browsers say the file downloaded is complete when it was disconnected somewhere, and the file is incomplete.
I find it hard to take devs seriously, when they don't post filesize or don't post md5 checksum. Either that, or those two information is really hard to find, not on the download page.
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/content.php/319
Ok so what i mean is cant start the phone I just get the logo with a yellow triangle at the bottom of the page so I tried to flash kernels but that doesnt help, but whenever I try to flash bigger files with Odin (I think they are firmwares, i downloaded them from Intratech's post) or Villainrom 1.1 it always fails when it says boot.bin in the message window for the big files and factoryfs.img for villain rom
Apparently for my phone, when I hold Home + Volume UP + Power, it still gives me the Boot Screen with the triangle.
IT DOES NOT ENTER INTO RECOVERY MODE.
Any suggestion?

If I'm not mistaken, I try superoneclick. And then it hangs there. From there onwards I couldn't enter Recovery mode. Worst part is, I don't even remember my kernel version or what type of firmware. All I know that it's 2.3.4 android stock.
Maybe ask in the superoneclick thread. Hopefully you'll get more specific answers to your problem. Best of luck.

As you can still get into DL Mode (but can't flash a ROM), how about trying one of Chainfire's rooted modem ?
Can be flashed via Odin & make sure all KIES is closed, as well as anything in PC Task Manager
This will automatically root your device and install the CWM Recovery (not ROM Manager compatible),............... Then you may be able to access Recovery to factory reset / wipe cache & dalvik and try rebooting (which can take up to 5-10mins).
If still no luck, back into CWM Recovery and try flash a custom ROM of your choice (flashable zip, do not extract) straight from the sdcard. Cognition is highly recommended.
As you don't know the original baseband #, not sure which to try, but the first goal would to be able to boot into CWM (since you can't or having trouble flashing with Odin)
Sorry, no more ideas, but if you decide to try, follow his instructions exactly.
I've tried the CF kernels. I've downloaded every single Kernel and flash with it. Still no luck.
But I've send my phone to Samsung Center. Even the technician is puzzled. He'll look into the matter of my phone and solve it in a day time.
I've post updates here once I get back my phone.
You going to have to pay or did you clear rom counter and reset to stock .
jje
Well, I couldn't do anything since I cannot even access to erase any counter number.
Hopefully they STILL don't charge me.
Apparently they called me today, saying my phone would take another day or two.
JJ means the usb jig. Power off phone, insert, boots automatically into DL mode resetting custom counter and removing the warning triangle.
As you don't seem to really know about it, you probably haven't? After reset, you could have just played dumb, claiming it got screwed during a Kies update. Never mind, too late now.

I've sent the phone to service on the 26 Sept. And they told me that it'll be ready by 2th Octo. According to the technician, they're waiting for a PART to arrive to be replace. No info was given on what part.
WOW, I didn't know hardware was involved in this case. It's rather rare to me.
UPDATE 2 :
F**KED.
My SGS2 is the i9100G model.
No wonder it stuck at Boot Screen S with Yellow triangle.
FML.
Hello there!
I have read through all the Boot loop posts before anyone asks!
My phone is stuck on the Samsung galaxy s2 boot up with the yellow triangle and the black "!" inside (Boot loop). This happened after flashing the wrong kernel on the device first time. Here is the thing, no matter how many times I try to flash the Kernel which I think is "KH1" (99% sure) in download mode with Odin and all the right drivers installed right from Kies, it still won't work! I've tried stock kernels, insecure kernels... you name it I've tried it!
The phone it's self will go into DOWNLOAD mode (which works fine) , but not RECOVERY MODE at all!
I have been trying for days to fix it, but nothing on here will work.
Please some one get back to me and try to help me fix this problem as I want to use my galaxy s2 again. :/
Thanks, Sam.

A link to what? Neither in this thread nor your original post in the correct thread have you said what happens when you flash with Odin (what errors, what messages, what options you're picking), what ROMs you've tried (I try to flash the Kernel which I think is "KH1" (99% sure) sounds rather flakey).
The full, detailed instructions are in the very first post, here in case you missed it.
If it doesn't work when you follow the instructions to the letter, explain in full what does happen and someone might be able to help you.

Alternatively, it is possible to flash VillainROM 1.1 if you are not comfortable in wiping via recovery, or if you cannot do so for any reason (corrupted kernel etc), as it wipes all users data when installing. Simply ignore steps 2 to 4, and flash VillainROM 1.1 via ODIN instead of the stock ROM.

Tried it, didn't work. :/ I don't think I am using the right stock Kernel though. It said JKH1, but not sure if it is the stock one! Please find a link with a stock one that will work on my phone as none will! Thank you.
oinkylicious said:
A link to what? Neither in this thread nor your original post in the correct thread have you said what happens when you flash with Odin (what errors, what messages, what options you're picking), what ROMs you've tried (I try to flash the Kernel which I think is "KH1" (99% sure) sounds rather flakey).
The full, detailed instructions are in the very first post, here in case you missed it.
If it doesn't work when you follow the instructions to the letter, explain in full what does happen and someone might be able to help you.
Any ROMs?

Thanks for finding all of this! I tried VillainROM 1.1, didn't work. Just comes up FAIL on Odin. I also tried CF, clock work and many others as I can't remember as I tired loads. :/ I am really stuck and don't know what to do.

Assuming you really do have an I9100, stock ROMs are here [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8, KJ1/2 Download and you should probably be looking for a WIPE ROM, such as XXKI3:

XXKI3
Android 2.3.5
This original (unmodified) Wipe Package with new bootloader has: PDA: XXKI3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: OXAKI3
Download: http://www.multiupload.com/NJV6PR87Y3
These packages have the new bootloader removed and repacked with the old ones so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig.

Use the phone?
Please make sure you're checking and double checking what you're choosing in Odin, that you have no Kies programs running etc, in other words, read Intratech's posts fully before flashing again!

What colour, at what point, is it ever a different colour, is anything happening on the phone? Have you tried different USB ports?
Have you checked task manager for kies related processes? (ctrl+shift+esc, processes), are the drivers correctly installed, what operating system are you using and which architecture? Have you tried it on a different computer?

If you try to flash a multi file firmware and checking re-partition it still fails? I had this by using one file firmwares. Go to Intratech's thread and download a multi file firmware with new bootloaders to get comletely stock. This can not fail.
I have found out that the most stable multi file is xxki3.
While flashing this that way you should not encounter any failures with Odin.

hi guys, any help would really be appreciated.. i think i have the exact same problem as op. let me articulate it in a slightly more clear manner:
1. i flashed an insecure kernel in order to get root access. somewhere along this process somehow something got messed up.
2. the phone is stuck in a bootloop. this shouldnt be a problem! simply flash stock rom/stock modem, enter recovery mode and do a reset!
3. uh-oh. recovery mode crashes instantly, and the endless bootcycle comes back.
4. ive tried using cwm recovery, stock recovery, both of these have failed.
5. download mode works completely fine (using odin 1.85)
im running the AT&T version of galaxy s2 i777, but posting on those forums havent really gotten a solution, with build version UCKH7. I've tried to find a "wipe" package for this build but although i can find stock PDA and stock MODEM, i cannot find stock CSC. in desperation, i have also tried flashing PDA/MODEM/stock PIT at the same time, but this also has not worked. someone on the i777 forums has recommended trying to flash a new bootloader, but im a little wary with taking that step. noone has done it before.
any ideas?
TL;DR: my phone is stuck in a boot loop, but unlike others, recovery mode crashes instantly before i can even explore any options, and reenters bootloop into main android.

What exactly are you putting into each section in Odin, and which settings are checked? How long does the process take? Did you ever (either when you originally messed it up or while trying to fix it) choose any of the pit/repartition settings? What did you originally flash to cause the problem in the first place?
Is it possible to get screenshots with phone connected before flashing and one afterwards with all the options you're using shown?
This thread mentions something I asked earlier as the solution but you didn't respond to. Have you tried a different USB port and reinstalled the drivers (in Kies: tools -> install driver).
Kies also has a "firmware emergency recovery" though I've got no idea what that does, or if it's recommended to try.

It takes like 2 seconds on this one, other kernels which I flash take about 30 seconds then say PASS, but still boot loops. I haven't choose any of the pit/repartition settings. I just flashed the wrong kernel from trying to root the device for the first time, but this just put it into the boot loop.
I am just putting the "New_Bootloader_GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3.tar" in into the PDA and then pressing start. I can't put a screen shot up here though as it won't let me.
I have tried different USB ports and reinstalled drivers. I also tried "firmware emergency recovery" but kies doesn't connect to my phone.

To OP, have you tried this? If all of your attempts thus far have involved a single file, and no repartition, if could be worth a try with one of the packages which has PDA/Phone/CSC as separate files (as on Intratech's description here: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/8290/odinxm.jpg). Failing that, you could try a ROM which comes with a PIT file to repartition the phone in case the partition table is somehow corrupt/damaged/incorrect, but you might want to consider that a last resort.
Hey all. There's a lot knowledgeable folks around here, so I thought I'd see if I can get some help on my problem.
I've got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510, non-branded, UEKME), that I rooted about two months ago, using the instructions found on the Android Forums (can't post a link, but ti's the basic easy way to root, using Odin3). Not a superuser, but wanted to be able to back up everything. Seemed easy enough and the rooting went fine.
Haven't done anything else to it, aside from installing a few run of the mill apps. It did auto-update a couple of times.
Was working fine, now it just got stuck on this screen with a message:
Code:
ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocol v2.1)
Reason: No Kernal
Secure Mode: Secure
Check Signature: Check
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
Waitting USB Cable...
Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!
Apparently, it went to this screen while I was away. I didn't see it until I picked it up and there it was. It comes to this screen after the Samsung title screen (not the animation) and a VERY quick screen with some red writing (goes by too fast to see what it says).
I tried to follow the original instructions again. Put the tab in download mode (power + volume down), open Odin3, select the md5, and hit start. Get a FAIL with this message:
Code:
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

The screen on the tab updates with this:
Code:
WritePArtition: Error to NvStorMgrFileWrite![err:0x30000]
DownloadPartition_odin: Error to WritePartition![err:0x30000]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0x30000]
That's as far as I've gotten. I noticed the Re-Partition option is not checked in Odin3, and the errors on the tab have to do with partitions... but didn't want to do that if I could eff it up even more.
I'm also wondering if one of the auto-updates didn't muck up the works. Maybe messed with my bootloader? Again, didn't want to go doing dangerous things without some reassurance. Also, I can't get into recovery mode; it just kinda flashes when I hit the button and stays on the option screen for download/recovery.
Any direction on how to proceed?
Any advice would be so great. It's been like this for about a week and I can't find any help. Thanks everyone.
TL;DR: Stuck in Download Mode, get errors on re-root.
This helped me and I've seen it help many others too in similar situations. Since you're stuck in download mode already it might need to be adjusted and followed from somewhere other than the beginning.
Goto http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
Towards the bottom of the guide There is a section called Restocking yer system.
Follow that on down.
Make sure you use the files for you device (7500 or 7510).
Make sure you triple check that you follow everything as suggested. The most common one I see missed is the last step of doing a Wipe data/factory reset.
Let us know how it goes, as this keeps us trying to help when we know we're successful.

You have an incomplete bootsector the bootloader is broken but ofcourse your recovery is safe. Just flash a stock firmware on top of it, or flash CWM. You don't have to worry about the options being checked as Odin 1.83 onwards fixes this issue.
Well, I was really hopeful when I read your response and read through the guide, but alas, I still got the FAIL when running Odin.
Aside from the rom, what else is there? I know of bootloaders, but not their function or how they work, and undersstand that loading the incorrect one (or incorrectly) can really make my tab a brick.
Are there any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help so far, maybe we can get this thing working. It's a shame - I've only had it for a couple of months...
Is there any other way to flash my firmware and/or repair my bootsector/bootloader?
Thanks for your help.

If you followed what I posted, and triple checked every step and check box in the guide was exactly what you did, then I'm lost for other suggestions. Misledz is on a different time than here, so you can either try my process again, if that's what you used, making sure you do evrything as said in the restocking yer system guide on down or wait for more help.
Yeah, I was hoping because it was a really well written guide with links to the correct files right there that I'd have some luck. The directions are pretty straightforward, so I don't think I missed anything, but I can certainly try again.
Thanks, I'll update in a bit.
I think I'm going to have to wait to see if Misledz has any other suggestions - I just tried it again and got the same fail.

Sorry that sucks.
Hope Misledz or someone comes along for you.
Best of luck.
Edit: Looking at the Odin repartition error makes me think it may be a full hardware failure issue. But there is still hope with the right files or method for it to be fixed.
I can't find it, but there was another thread here with the same "Reason: No Kernal" error and I think it turned out to be a hardware failure.
Sorry well yeah I've been on offset timezone's and I tend to check this section regularly as I hope to learn more about the tablet In hopes I can get some development done on it.
In the sense I'll assure you that you can't really brick the tablet as they are somewhat hard to brick via software, unless you install a firmware that isn't compatible (Like a 7500 on a 7510) or like wipe the bootloader. Put it this way anything done in download mode is safe.
Now to your query. It can't be a hardware issue because as you can see the tablet itself boots perfectly to Odin.
I would suggest skipping the v4 of CWM and flash the v5
[http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv]
and
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=15
Normally errors like this occur only because of cases like ramdisk being different. One is the 5.1 and the other is the 5.5 version, I suggest it's best to try both. I feel you will have better luck testing both. No worries they are both safe and the 4.0.4 has some issues as far as some tablet's are concerned.

I notice the second file is in a p7500 directory. I'm guessing this is an all-encompassing directory with p7500 and 7510 files?
EDIT: I see that the file is for all versions (75xx). Thanks.
I'm at work now, but I'll try it when I get home and give an update.
Thanks for taking the time to help me out.
*fingers crossed*
Dammit. No luck.
Did you already tried flashing with a pit file?
Flash with pit will rebuild your partitions.
When loading pit file repartition will automaticaly be select.
Do not repartion without pit file or your device will become abrick.
After flash with pit file you will see a lot of errors this is normal
And will be fixed after factory reset.
Good luck.

I've used the pit file and tar file from the guide that Benzoman directed me to. I also tried using the updated CWMs that were suggested (although a pit file wasn't included).
I had installed the windows drivers a while back, but just installed the Kies. Interestingly, after that, I tried flashing again and, although it still failed, it took a lot longer (as opposed to almost instantly). Almost thought I had it for a second...
Am I right in thinking that I can use the pit file from the guide and the tar file from CWM together?
Slightly off-topic; what's the purpose of flashing a bootloader? That's one thing I haven't tried yet.
Thank you for your continued help. I would have lost all hope by now if it weren't for you and this forum.
So is it all good? I don't tend to like leaving people who need help Especially when it's also educational for me.
Flashing a bootloader wouldn't be advisable cause it may really brick the tab.
You don't really need to pit file as it is used for repartioning, flashing just the PDA is good enough

No, it's still stuck. It seems like any pit file I try doesn't work, which was why I was asking about the bootloaders (I know it's dangerous, but for all intents and purposes, it's already bricked).
I don't know what else to do; I was hoping the updated CWM would help, but it runs into the same problem the other pda files have. I'd be more than happy to try any other suggestions you may have.
Thanks again.
I don't know if it's any help, but I was able to capture the really quick flash of red text as it boots. See attachment.

[Q] [SOLVED] My Samsung galaxy s2 just got bricked, & now its between life and death
Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE
Model name: SHV-E110S
No Custom Binary Download
Current binary is Samsung Official
Jelly bean 4.1.2 (90% sure)
Froze while using it and upon reboot froze at boot screen where the logo of "T" keeps rotating.
Firstly, being myself a complete Noob when it come to stuffs like Custom Roms, firmware, kernel etc got the phone in worse condition.
Upon reading few forums here, tried using Odion3 v 1.85 and tried fixing it following some ideas from these forums:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016984
Reckoning that the mobile must have been soft bricked, tried using recovery package which failed as shown below:
http://oi39.tinypic.com/678nls.jpg
Then committed second mistake by using "PIT" file selecting Re Partition. After that on turning on the mobile, instead of BIOS, came "Odion Mode" where additional logo of "Update appears" The failed pic using PIT is shown below:
http://oi40.tinypic.com/14ihn5h.jpg
So, is there any hope for the phone or it's gone? It doesnt gets detected on kies but is detected on odion. I closed the kies in processes in taskmngr too.
So, please tell me what should i download now?
So, please help me everyone. I need all of your guidance.
I wont use that software without any knowledge.
Please tell me the steps to be taken by me now. I badly need that phone. There's no warranty now, so i dont want to go to customer care center.
And is there any way in which none of the files get deleted inside it. It's internal system memory is 2 GB. And USB memory is 12 gb. No SD card inside it.

Based on your description of the problem, you should still have Odin download mode, which is good.
Let's first try and restore the phone back to somewhat stock...
Go to this post and download the MH2 pre-rooted stock firmware image (and unpack the zip file).
Flash using Odin, but don't change any of the default options and settings, just specify the tar.md5 file in the PDA section as you've done before...DO NOT TOUCH PIT option.
If Odin fails again, post the screen dump and show us the message log
if Odin succeeds, it will reboot and take a few minutes to initialize the phone (this MH2 image performs an implicit factory reset), you should eventually get the configuration wizard to setup the phone
if possible to enter in download mode then noworry you have chance to get back your device,
but if not then give try on some USB JIG products... (buy from web)
this product let you open download mode by just connecting usb part to device.
once you get enter in download mode you'll safely flash stock rom again.
but this time I suggest you to use ODIN V3.07 (latest version much safer much easier to use)
No problem with download mode

When i turn on my mobile, it directly opens Download mode. And it wont even close when i press power button. I've to force shut down by taking out the battery. There's no boot screen showing Samsung logo.
Actually i used odin3 v3.09 on first place. I knew nothing about it. so following a forum on recovering soft brick i switched to old version.

first of all, thank u so much for responding. Ok i'll try downloading the pre rooted ROM.
I'll post the results on the thread in the forum after it completes.
Since u're really talented in these stuffs, i wanted to ask u few questions.
1) Will installing Pre Rooted ROM root my device or not? Or do i have to root separately?
2) Will everything get wiped out? I'm sure wallpapers, messages, and settings configurations will be deleted. What about songs, photos? Will the USB storage get wiped out too? btw there's no sd card.
3) Can i recover anything? If yes. how?

1) Pre-rooted means just that, it is already rooted for your convenience.
2) Wiping data/cache can be different on different phones. It always wipe the internal data partition (place where app specific data and such are stored) and sometimes the internal user data storage (place where your pictures and other user files are stored). Whether the user data storage is cleared, I can't say for certain, varies between roms and phone models. (external sd card is never cleared, so that's why you should get yourself one and store your data there or in the 'cloud')
3) Depending on what happens in 2), yes or no. If it's wiped, it's gone, if not, then you're lucky I suppose.
When you manage to resurrect the phone, try to follow these rules...
- sync photos with Google+
- keep other data, songs, documents, etc... on the external sd card as much as possible
- sync contact, agenda/calendar, notes, and other personal management data synced with a cloud service (Google+, Exchange, etc...)
- make regular backups with for example Titanium Backup, Super Backup, etc...
- a Samsung account and Google account will help to automatically backup some settings, call logs, etc... (If you let/allow them)
so you have download mode,
download this pre-rooted stock rom here
then this pit file for e110s here
once the files are downloaded,
head to odin then choose pit for the pit file you downloaded
same goes for the pda file
then it should flash without any errors. after that if your phone is stuck in boot animation.
turn off the phone then Reboot to recovery (volume up+volume down+power)
use the volume rockr keys to navigate and power button to select an item.
choose wipe data/factory reset and cache.
flash the rom again without the pit file, only PDA to make sure everything is fine.
it should fix your soft bricked e110s.
Thank you so much.

Based on your description of the problem, you should still have Odin download mode, which is good.
Let's first try and restore the phone back to somewhat stock...
Go to this post and download the MH2 pre-rooted stock firmware image (and unpack the zip file).
Flash using Odin, but don't change any of the default options and settings, just specify the tar.md5 file in the PDA section as you've done before...DO NOT TOUCH PIT option.
If Odin fails again, post the screen dump and show us the message log
if Odin succeeds, it will reboot and take a few minutes to initialize the phone (this MH2 image performs an implicit factory reset), you should eventually get the configuration wizard to setup the phone

Hi,
I'm sure you've flashed at least once samsung gs2 shv e1102 with custom ROM. Did it work? Actually currently, if it's safe i want to switch to the latest version that's available for my device. The stock is JB 4.1.2 So, is it bad if i use the latest verson which will trigger the status of Rom i guess. If it's actually good then i want to try it. Coz the phone has just been recover. There's no need to backup. And i've always been bothered by the sms limit of 80 letters. More than that, it becomes mms and will be sending failure. So, do u have any suggestions. And if i have to upgrade, which one will be good for me? And is the procedure same? By using Odin software?

Go to this post and download the GT-I9210 Based MF1 Stock Root Ready rom. Same method as stock images with Odin. This is a regionalized version for the European S2 LTE variant. It works well on the E110S and will take care of that 80 character sms limit.
If you have warranty on the Phone, then you might be worried about triggering the custom binary counter, otherwise, don't worry.

Ok i'll download it. btw i dont have warranty coz the phone was bought in south korea itself. I didnt even find a flip cover case for that phone is my country. now the question Is there any latest version of JB where the sms limit has been removed. I mean any custom Rom having version greater than 4.1.2. If yes, which one should i download?
and the procedure is same isnt it? I've go in download mode(odin mode) and flash ROM using Odion on the PDA section isnt it?

MF1 is 4.1.2. It is a stock based rom, but is identified as custom because some work had to be done with the boot kernel.
If you want anything later than 4.1.2, google cyanogenmod based roms for the e110s/celox devices. There's enough out there, but you have to put some effort into researching and finding it.
4.2.2

The link u gave me before also had Jelly bean 4.2.2. So if i download and flash that using Odin, will it also remove the sms limit. I actually want to switch from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. The procedure is same isnt it? Flashing it on Odin. Or do i have to factory reset before flashing?
When i flashed official roms with Odin i never used PIT files. Just out the rom on PDA section and flash it. Usually wipe data/factory reset will erase your data on internal storage card,but in my case is not happeni g. I am trying custom roms on my s2 (i9100) and when i wpie cache,data and delvik,no data is lost from the internal memory. Still got my obb files,music and stuff. Try to flash your device using an official rom and after that i recommend omni 4.4.2. It is very stable for samsung galaxy s2.

You wouldn't believe it but my phone "Samsung Galaxy s2 LTE SHV E100s" got bricked today after 2 years. Yes i'm still using the same phone. And thank you for helping me out last time my phone got bricked.
I have a question for you. Hope you'll help me out this time too david.
1) Which ROM would be best for my phone now? Currently i had "pre rooted 4.1.2 JB" the one you gave me link. I'm sure you have tested all sorts of ROM's.
2) DO You have any new ROMS for shv e110s? if yes, is the procedure to flash it via odin same as before? e.g leave settings on default, select .tar file on pda section and flash?
Thank you!
