[Q] Flashing fail - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got stock XWLPD firmware in my phone and I tried to flash CF-Root in it.
After clicking start button, Odin started to check for SetupConnection. It took under a minute and then it said: "Can't open the serial (COM) port" and the red Fail! thing popped up.
What's wrong and how to fix this?
I've got a picture of it:

Do you have drivers installed? If you installed Kies, then you have drivers. But also make sure Kies isn't running when you run Odin; they don't play well together.

Looks like I don't have some SM Bus Controller. I tried to update it but Windows Update doesn't find right drivers and I'm not sure what's the right driver if I try to update it manually.
KIES says I've got a new official XWLPG firmware update. Is it possible that updating my phone would fix my drivers?
I just didn't want to update it yet because I can't find it from XDA if I need to flash it back after trying to root again...

check your pm mate

Yes, I made it!
I tried to update all drivers but that didn't work very well.
Then I uninstalled and then reinstalled KIES and downloaded the drivers again and now it works and I've got a rooted phone now.

Odin not working for me?

Trying to root On Win 7 64bit
Odins COM turns yellow i hit start and wait 10+ min and nothing happens? How long does it take to apply the root?
I've tired different USB ports and it does the same thing, Kies is installed phone is set to USB debugging mode and in download mode.
Looks like you either have a file that is broken or the wrong format or wrong instructions .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Follow the root instruction from above post .
jje
I'm a little confused though going by the link you posted it says to install the firmware then install the insecure KDD kernel then install the secure kernel.
Why do you need to install the firmware first when i'm already using the newest version?
BTW i re-tried to root using this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
Odin still just sits there even after i re-dowloaded the files.
Thanks for the help!
Install USB drivers again via Kies .
But i repeat it looks like you are directing Odin to a wrong file .
Name that file and what box its going into in Odin .
It should be for root
PDA >>>>>>> SGS2 i9100\XWKDD_insecure.tar
Latest firmware KE2 then just pick up root instructions .

Here's a image, I used a different PC this time. It will just sit at SetupConnection..

Looks 100% CORRECT .
One put file on desktop Odin should find that that fails try a new download .

I tryed on the desktop as well still no luck. How long should it take to flash?
BTW the phone shows
Installing Multi-CSC
can't access to /system/csc/XEU/system
Successfully applied multi-csc
would that have anything to do with it?

If your flashing a kernel it should take the best part of 10 seconds...
I get the Multi-CSC error too...don't think its anything to worry about.

[Q]Kies Problem[Q]

Hi guys,
Kies would not detect my phone earlier after I had flashed a new firmware, and so I uninstalled it & the drivers, ran CC Cleaner to clean up all the **** it leaves behind, and re-installed it. My phone connected perfectly and I was able to sync all my music however for some god forsaken reason, Kies swears my device does not support software upgrading via Kies, which is bull****.. I did it the same day I got my phone

A history of what I've done with my phone in regards to flashing:
I was experiencing lock-ups on my Stock UK un-branded firmware 'I9300XXALF2' so I flashed the UK Orange Branded firmware 'I9300BVALE4' however once I saw that the branded version offered no benefits over the un-branded (because sometimes they do ) I re-flashed the stock UK firmware 'I9300XXALF2' which I believe is the most up-to-date firmware. I did all of these flashes using Odin and the original installation of Kies.
Someone please help me
I know there's word of an OTA firmware upgrade out and about as well as one in Kies. I'm in the same boat as you in that my Kies just says it doesn't support upgrades, so I just flashed the upgrade with Odin. It's completely possible that the reason kies doesn't support it is because there isn't an update available.
Take that with a pinch of salt though.

Well, the firmware that I just flashed Kies actually downloaded and flashed for me when I first got my phone. I downloaded Kies to my computer, it said it didn't recognize the device the first time ever. Then the second time I connected it boom.. It's so weird I have no bloody clue! I just hope flashing has not somewhat messed it up, because some updates are only released through Kies.
Worst case scenario you just have to download the kernel updates and flash with Odin manually, but I doubt that'll be the case. I'm currently fighting with Kies just for it to try and recognise that I have a phone attached at all. MTP drivers don't want to install for some reason, so far a thoroughly enjoyable experience haha
Edit: Scratch that, just a matter of Windows being odd again. Attached is the results in Kies after flashing the most recent firmware in Odin. Which is pretty much the same as your's apart from the carrier.

Absolutely no problems on my computer, if your having problems with the driver I recommend you uninstall Kies, navigate to the installation folder on your computer after uninstalling and go to the driver bit and click uninstall there, then try a full re-install. Worked for me

After updated to JB 4.1.1 (i9300XXDLH7)

Hi all,
When I was on ICS, my USB connection is okay, after flashed to JB 4.1.1 (i9300XXDLH7) is not recognized anymore. Please refer to the print screen pic. I cannot go back to ICS via Odin.
I've try to another computer but still the same issues. Also, I've try to install Samsung's USB driver here (https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/9)

If you have Kies uninstall it and re install if you dont have it install it, then plug in your phone and see if the drivers install correctly it worked for me last time I had a problem similar to this
I just install Kies and try as you advised, still not working, here are the exact error here. Any more ideas?
Some suggestions here:
-Try different usb cables and port.
-Turn off your phone and take out battery for a few minutes.
-Hope you have nandroid backup your ICS rom, restore back your backup.

Uninstall the devices manually in device manager, don't forget to tick the "delete the driver ' option, now restart your pc and install the drivers either from online or through kies
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
Problem solved!
I try few thing here:
1. Uninstall Kies, turn off my laptop
2. Install Kies.
3. Restart my SGS3
4. Use new USB cable (old connection still recognized by HTC sensation)
I'm not sure which one if the right problem but I try the above steps and it's working now.
Thanks for the suggestions and advised.
Cheers,

Just install the s3 root kit ith drivers onto your computer, you not have to root your hone, just use the drivers to get it to recognise your phone

Ahh Kies................ Nightmare
Make sure you do these before you carry on..
1. Make sure your admin
2. Restart
3. Make yourself a brew or Coffee
4. Search the hell outta google..
just a few things off the top of my head you could try..
Try loading windows in diagnostic startup mode> Hit start, run, type"msconfig", select diagnostic, restart, install kies..
If that dosent work revert back the changes you have made..Dont forget to make a restore point too..You could always revert back to before you installed kies
Tried everything you said...Still kies doesn't work and gives same error...Maybe you could tell me how do I I9300 jb ota..I from india...Youmobile.org says its available...But here there is not even a hint of an update...Samsung service centre guys say wait indefinitely for update and that we will get a call or sms from samsung when its released...Is this realistic information,mate???

KIES is a nightmare... it is an epic fail... iam not suggesting JB update via kies or OTA is a good option. try flash JB using ODIN. it is the safest and relaiable way to update (atleast for me). you an find ROM in SamMobile.com. download and flash... enjoy JB
the samsung will not intimate update via call or sms. u may check update in settings>about device>software update.
Sorry it didnt work.. Have you got a friends pc to try it on...??
As post above states ODIN - Try that method.. it should work ..use a guide from the stickies - good luck again

You should also try to clean/fix your registry. Try CCleaner, it's a pretty good program.

Please help me!

It's the drivers that's giving you such a hard time. Use the following link. Go to the "Getting Prepared" section and install all the necessary files including the drivers. Follow the installation procedure to safely flash the stock rom back using odin. Here is the link,
