Help Needed - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the Galaxy SIII font .zip pack on my rooted GAlaxy SII(GTI9100) and the device stopped working after that. When I put in CWM Recovery mode and check mount/storage it says cannot mount/sdcard and even /system is wiped off. Now all I have is the screen saying "SAMSUNG GALAXY SII- GTI9100" and yellow triangle.
How to I restore it back now?? Downloaded stock Rom and tried flashing with Odin. But though Odin recognizes device, it does not flash.
Kindly Help!!

You will need to put the phone into download mode not cwm recovery (hold vol down + home + power) then flash a stock rom via odin you can download a stock rom through check fus down-loader Hope this helps bud..

[Q] Phone stuck in odin mode kernel flash gone wrong i (do not turn off target)!

Hey all
UK I'm running Pa2.13 and flashed siyah 1.6A9 L17 on UK Samsung gti9300 and received update from goomanager for my roM
I downloaded pa v2.13.1 wiped cache./dalvik then flashed the update then I flashed gapps again and then wiped cache again and rebooted my phone. All worked fine but I realised steaks had disappeared off my phone so I decided to re flash the siyah over cwmr (probably my mistake?)
Rebooted my phone and went to Samsung logo and then black screen so I waited 30mins, and nothing still. I went into download mode odin mode by mistake by pressing volume up key. Now my phone in recovery mode and says Downloading do not turn off target? Am I bricked? Also can I put my phone on charge?
Hi!
You are not bricked. Go to download mode and flash a stock firmware. It will bring you back to square one

Just press power+home+volume down together.. Then when you are prompted to enter download mode again press volume down.. Your phone will reboot normally..

That got me back to phone attempting to boot up but just remains black screen after Samsung logo appears. Can I enter cwmr and reset to factory? Or enter Odin mode and flash back to stock?

Thank you I use mobile odin on stock, rooted (doh), i9300 with siyahkernel 1.7 ... i wanted to try out codeworkx latest CM10 on my 2ndROM and installed (cm's) ROM Manager. After installing (ROM Manager) i used it to flash CWM. I started to think "maby read before do" so I read some of chainfires comments on CF-root (which i used preor to installing Mobile Odin Pro) and he said that his CWM isnt compatible with ROM manager. Ok... I flashed a "undo governor tweaks zip" with mob odin and injected SU, Everroot and mobile Odin hoping this would undo any possible damage i had done. Well i wanted to do a ROM backup and thought that was doable in CWM so i rebooted, vol down - home - power, and pressed vol up (maby completely off course there but I ended up with a stuck odin, same as OP. I just did what you said (while it was stuck...) and the phone nicely rebooted and started up normally.
A long post "just" for saying thank you, but I thought it was appropriate that I told (people) what I did and what happened...
Cheers!

[Q] please help phone won't trun on

I have a rooted galaxy s2, I was on a custom rom and decided to restore the stock one. then I flashed siya kernel because it was shutting down randomly. then I opened superSU app after it updated automatically on the market. it asked to update (and something about binary) choosing normal update or using cmw or twrp if oono a custom rom. I chose the cmw or twrp by accident and said that if the phone didn't reboot into rrecovery I have to do it manually
the phone **** down and when I try to turn it on it doesn't. the GALAXY S2 logo shows up then it turns black . I also tried to boot it into recovery and it didn't work either. so what's the problem and how can I fix it
Download mode work? Flash stock with odin
Or flash siyah in odin then boot to recovery and do a factory reset

odin can't recognize the phone
even though I installed the usb drivers and kies
I guess it's because I can't enable usb debugging since the phone doesn't turn on
any other idea?
Check out @Hopper8 thread for odin trouble
No need for usb debugging for an Odin flash. As andrewwright said, click the link in my signature and follow the troubleshooting steps.

have you tried it buddy? The cwm?
Doesn't work or is the same CWM we already have.
I flashed it over the exiting CWM and it looks the same, certainly is not touch activated.
Does this method still show the 2 red lines of code at the top when booting?

I'm having an absurd issue with my phone and really would like some expert advice.
I just bought my phone (GT-I9205). Is still all stock. I am trying to install CWM Recovery with ODIN but seems nothing gets flashed into the phone except that I am stuck with the stock Recovery.
USB Drivers correctly installed on my laptop and the flash process seems successful under ODIN (..tar file upload to phone goes smooth and and then phone successfully resets). But when I go back to Recovery mode, actually, nothing was flashed. Same old stock recovery screen. What the hell? Am I doing something wrong in ODIN settings (CWM tar file flashed as PDA and everything else as default), or is my phone crazy?.. I really have no idea whats going on. In fact Ive tried flashing other versions of CWM and same thing happens.
And my stock recovery screen itself has issues problems.. when entering the recovery mode it briefly displays the word ERROR and I get a sad Android guy with a RED explanation mark with the wording NO COMMAND. Totally stuck. I have positively no idea whats going on. Years flashing phones and doing all sorts of things, nothing like this before..
My phone was an open box.. maybe someone did something to it and totally messed it up.. no clue..
please is this valid for the 9205 lte? thankes
pleas delete
I tried this and it worked on the bell version model I527M
The red line when booting will gone if you flash back your kernel. ..stock kernal...
The rooting kernal is to provide su update...

I... seem to have an issue. I can't seem to find the USB Debugging mode on my GT-i9200... I literally don't have the option. Or... I'm going crazy.
1. Goto Settings -> About Phone.
2. Goto “Build Number” at the end of the Scroll list.
3. Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly (7 times). On your third tap you should see message indicating that you only have 4 more taps to go to ‘become a developer’.
4. Continue: 4 more taps.
5. Hooray, you are now a ‘Developer’, go back to the Setting page.
6. You should see Developer Option menu item in your setting list now.
7. Open Developer Options and check USB debugging > Ok

Not sure on this but did you root your phone since the update..if not try kingoroot and then try flashing the recovery again.

On my first firmware I9200 XSE XXUMAEE, I have rooted the device using latest i9200-cwm-recovery(201362118259).tar and superSU 1.51 and works fine, then I reinstall ( flash ) the firmware using the original firmware from sammobile XSE XXUMAEE to restore back everything to receive OTA into XSE XXUBMJ4, when UBMJ4 successfully updated my I9200 I tried to install i9200-cwm-recovery(201362118259).tar and flashed successfully via odin, and I used the usual way to boot into CWM but cannot run and the device run the stock recovery. I've tried last TWRP 2.0.3 and still the same.There is no other way and I flash original I9200 XSE XXUMAEE ( Downgrade ) and clean the device using CWM ( format /system ) then flash again I9200 XXUMAEE. Now I'm still using XXUMAEE and rooted, waiting for the new CWM. This is all my experience. at CWM last log all my i9200 system back to XXUMAEE except bootloader still remain XXUBMJ4.
By the way what is kingoroot??? never heard that.

Guys, When I tried XXUBMJ4 on my I9200, it run like android 4.3 have move to sd feature and everything new and consume less RAM. Can't hardly wait for new CWM.
Thanks for the experts who create this CWM.
Love CWM more than TWRP.

[Q] Boot and Disk Partition Problems with GT-I9300 (Samsung Galaxy S III )

Everything that happened:
1) I rooted my GT-I9300 using ODIN v3.07 and CWM Recovery
2)I installed zip of Resurrection Remix Kitkat ROM for S3 using CWM
3) I hated it to the core!
4)I flashed the official stock ROM of 4.3 JB using ODIN
5) I realized that USB Debugging was off!
6) My phone gets stuck at the Samsung logo and doesn't even load into recovery mode!
7) It boots into download mode, I flash the 4.1.2 JB ROM for S3 using ODIN
8)The Samsung logo appears, disappears and then again appears! This goes on forever!!
9)This time it boots into Android Recovery and displays the error: E: failed to mount data (Invalid Argument) cant find /data
10) The phone restarts and continues the boot-looping!!
11) I try to restore it with Kies3 using Firmware Upgrade and Initialization
12) It upgrades the firmware to 4.3 JB but the things that happened in NO. 6 continue!
13) I realised its time for the xda people to help me out!!
Things I have:
1) My Bricked Samsung Galaxy S III (International) GT-I9300
2) USB Cable
3) A Windows 7 PC with 2GB RAM
4) An Internet Connection
Can someone please explain what has happened to my phone and what should I do to get it back on stock ROM?
Please help me as I dont want to buy a new phone!
Note: If you have 16 GB of I9300, apply this guide
I think you can restore your device via repartition with a PIT file. I uploaded Odin and PIT file that I use. You can download it from attachments
You should install this ROM via PIT file; http://samsung-updates.com/details/25147/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/TUR/I9300XXUGNB6.html
Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
I live in India. Can you suggest an INU or INS rom?
I flashed my phone with PIT file and (INS_I9300XWUGML4_I9300ODDGML4_I9300DDUGMK1) 4.3 JB ROM. No Progress!!

Can you try install with my suggested ROM? If it will success, you can install your country's ROM anyway.
After installing it via PIT file, wait for boot. If it stuck in Samsung logo, remove battery,insert the battery again, boot into recovery and try to wipe data.
I'm saying again; Make sure select PIT file in Odin before installation.
Did you try a wipe data when you flashed second stock ROM?? When you got in recovery

I installed the ROM with the PIT file but still no progress!
A new problem:
1) I went to the Samsung people expecting some help
2) And they did the most cruel thing on this earth!!! They said
"The binary counter says 4. That means you have flashed the ROM customly. This has void the warranty of your device. We cant help you if you have void your warranty. Sorry!"

[Q] s3 i9300 recovery remains stock - soft brick?

Had my device on Cyanogenmod and decided to put stock one back on it H3G-I9300XXUGNA5-20140227080141.zip (used in past no problems).
1. Odin 3.09 new stock rom tar file - success
2. It boots fine and gets stuck on samsung logo forever
3. When try to go to recovery it goes to the stock one
4. When I try to install any recovery via Odin it's getting replaced by stock one (download mode) - even it says RESET/SUCCESS in Odin
5. Yes I do install CF Autoroot via Odin before custom recovery - success (then I get red android logo and messages, one of the saying "restoring stock recovery"
6. I do untick autoreboot in Odin when flashing recovery as they say here - nothing changes
What do I do now? I run out of ideas ...

Try Flashing the stock rom with odin in download mode,You can find yours here
Just tried rom from link provided and exactly same thing happens: boots fine and then stuck on samsung logo.
How would you exactly do rest of steps after that (autoroot and recovery)? Maybe I'm just missing some small detail or is it something more serious?
