Hey guys,
I need some expertise on this, I tried looking up my exact problem but I couldn't find any real help so here I am. I just recently upgraded to ICS and all went well. Then I decided to root with Siyah kernel with ODIN and all was good. My problem is that when I tried to do the ROM backup with ROM manager it didn't boot back up and now every time I try to boot it up it goes to the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-19100 screen... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got it working perfect now with the tremendous help from Neeraj a fellow user on xda . I appreciate your input on my problem a lot man.:good:
Edit: We downloaded with this stock firmware: I777UCLE5_I777ATTLE5_I777UCLE5_HOME.tar.md5 from the program (Check Fus Downloader 2.1) and flashed the ROM with Odin. I'm pretty sure that's what we did anyway.

You won't be fixing it without Odin with no recovery. Go thru the following list on your PC, and if you still can't get Odin working, try another PC. If you still can't get Odin working on another PC, user error somewhere along the way (will be impossible for anyone here to say what because we're not there with you), which means service centre job.
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again. Also run Windoze Update.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.

Try flashing N.E.A.K. or another kernel tar package in ODIN while you have your phone in download mode.
That should fix your CWM recovery.

ok step by step, i had checkrom on my phone and flashed the new criskelo rom on my phone 4.0.3 LPQ for testing it, and flashed it with cf root 5.4
but after testing i wanted to get back to checkrom and now i have this problem that i can't flash any other kernel! only CF-Root is working , with any other kernel i em ending at the "Triangle"..phone is not booting any more
Really, ICS and GB is going crazy. Flash stock, kernel, flash cf root kernel, then flash newest kernel to fix sd card issue, etc... Since ICS was updated on sgs2 everywhere just problem, not booting, not installing, etc. Really, really big pain.
I dunno man what could solve you problem. I'm gonna search in all threads to find some useful information, if I will, I will post here, should be somewhere answer. LOL, best of luck.

do you wipe cache and dalvik before you flash a different kernel? and maybe format system when you go into recovery might help...and next time make backups

I want to flash Resurrection Remix AOKP which includes siyah kernel, so if I just go ahead and flash the zip, it might give me a chance of fixing this?
or else endup in an endless boot.....
thanks
I've basically soft bricked my phone and haven't got a clue how to fix it. I've read everything and tried everything and still can't get it working with my knowledge.
I tried to flash resurrection v1.0 but phone just hung on the GSII startup screen and froze. I've tried different kernels so that i can flash from external SD card but whenever i try this, it always says bad file (no matter what file i try use to flash). When i try flash from the internal SD card, it says its all successful (for the resurrection 1.0) but i'm back to where i started.
I think i need to flash the firmware using odin but i can't find the right files. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this issue? I've been playing around with it for 10 hours roughly now.
The original kernel i used when i flashed to resurrection 9.4 was for XWKI4.
Thanks.

I'm not sure that guy (Kaffee4Eck) knows what he's talking about anyways. In another thread, he also suggested an I9100G user to flash Siyah kernel.
Right i've got it back working with 2.3.4 i think it is, however i still don't want to give in to getting resurrection 1.0.
Are there any steps i'm missing which causes it to hang on GSII startup then restart into the stock kernel? Tried flashing the old bootloader as well which didn't help.

If you're having trouble flashing a custom ROM, first place to start would be the thread for that particular custom ROM.
All custom ROMs should have detailed installation instructions. Make sure you are following them to the letter.
If you are flashing kernels, you must make sure you flash a kernel meant for your phone, and meant for your build. Hang on boot screen usually means you have a file not compatible with your build of Android. Could be kernel, but could also be another system file.
I have been searching, its what im currently doing now but everyone seems to have got it working or have completely different problems to me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
Literally followed it step for step, there isn't much to it. When i did 9.4 it had the same steps and that all worked fine, so i must be missing something pretty damn important here.
So when you say:

what do you mean by restart into the stock kernel? This part of the sentence doesn't make sense.
Are you saying it is hanging on the boot logo for a very long time, then it boots normally, but you are not on the new ROM?
Sorry, what i was trying to say was the galaxy s 2 logo shows for about 5 seconds then the phone restarts itself into recovery mode (which is the new kernel included with the resurrection 1.0 flash).

And now this sentence doesn't make sense.
So when it restarts into recovery, it is stock recovery instead of CWM recovery? Is that what you mean?
Stock recovery will only have like 4 or 5 line entries, with no options to back up/restore. CWM recovery will have substantially more options.
EDIT to add: BTW - did you see under the "Rom Installation (please don`t miss any step! )" section... there is text that says: "NOTE: İF YOU WANT FLASH SOMETHİNG FROM CWM RECOVERY FİRST YOU MUST İNSTALL CWM.ZİP FROM STOCK RECOVERY MOD(APPLY UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE AND CHOOSE CWM.ZİP AND İNSTALL)
AND NOW TOUCH RECOVERY MODE WİLL APPEAR THAN YOU CAN FLASH ZİP FİLES"
---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
Also, you seem to be mixing up the terms kernel and recovery. They are NOT the same. You should read up on what those two terms actually mean.
"So when it restarts into recovery, it is stock recovery instead of CWM recovery? Is that what you mean?"
Yeah thats what i meant sorry, been a long day lol. I don't really get what the last bit means..
"NOTE: İF YOU WANT FLASH SOMETHİNG FROM CWM RECOVERY FİRST YOU MUST İNSTALL CWM.ZİP FROM STOCK RECOVERY MOD(APPLY UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL STORAGE AND CHOOSE CWM.ZİP AND İNSTALL)

So... You know there's also a video guide on installation in that thread too, right? I've never installed this ROM, so I've about reached the limit of how far I can help you if you don't understand that last bit, as you say.
Indeed, i've watched it several times. Thats what i don't get. Everything looks the same, yet i'm the one with the problem lol.
I basically go into custom recovery, install the 3 things (rom, and both gapps), clear the cache and dalvik cache yet it goes freezes on logo then restarts into stock recovery.

If I can, then should I put the recovery.zip file in KERNEL option in mobile odin or that one of UPDATE ZIP ?
For some ungodly reasons, I am not able to connect my SGS2 to computer so can't flash kernel from desktop odin :/

Yes I did. I even uninstalled usb drivers & Kies and tried fresh install couple of times but computer simply refuses to detect phone. Also tried different cable, different ports. But No MTP, no mass storage nothing works. I have been facing this problem from a while too. Maybe I messed it up when I installed so many different ROM and kernels in past several weeks.
I we installed so many roms myself but didn't have any problems.

Sory for the late response.
Yes it is it says at the title of the thread [28.11.2012][PhilZ-cwm6][i9100]v3.72 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6_No BrickBug_Root_XXLSJ
No problem
I know this thread was resolved, but the topic is still one that I am interested in. My Galaxy Nexus, Toro, has a failed USB port. I tried Mobile Odin with an old ICS image, but it didn't flash, I assume, because I'm running AOKP 4.2. Regardless, I have no recovery of any kind, stock or otherwise now. It just sticks at the Google screen when I attempt recovery. The AOKP still boots fine, however. I need to return this unit to Verizon in a few days. I'd like to at least get a custom recovery back, and try flashing an ICS build of AOKP and try another Mobile Odin.

Ok. Well. How about Goomanager from the market. Just hit menu and click "Install OpenRecovery Script". Reboot into recovery like a boss. TWRP FTW!! Ok. Now the topic of this thread is SOLVED.
are you retarded? no one answered the question the question was what area do you load the recovery in to flash it in mobile odin. you all gave him alternate routes to get the same outcome but you totally avoided his question. now i will restate the problem
WHAT AREA IN MOBILE ODIN DO YOU LOAD A RECOVERY .TAR??????
thats clear enough right?

Mate, this is an old thread. The OP only wanted to get a CWM recovery, which he did get.
Now why would you bring up this thread again? And please be polite while posting. Showing disrespect and shouting are against forum rules.

It would still be helpful to get the answer as to how to flash a recovery .tar with odin, since this thread shows up when you search for this.
Many searches for strange problems gives several hits, but when you read through them, there's only answers to other problems.

So you only can get to download mode, but not recovery?
I really don't want to freak you out, but it could be SDS...
Please let us know if you could resolve it.

because he's right, it's pointless to repeat the same stuff over and over.
Can get to download mode? Flash a stock rom. can't? try a different cable/port/pc/make sure kies is not running /reinstall drivers. didn't help? try flashing the correct pit file. no luck? send it to samsung. it's all been posted a thousand times

Take a look at his posts, he is spamming that video everywhere, why bait people that need help?
Also remember it does state in the rules to try and be helpful and welcoming to newcomers, or don't post at all, I agree it's a hard balancing act to get right, but if you continually slam the door in people's faces it will put newcomers off, a degree of civility and tact is required

Hello ,
I recently got a samsung galaxy s2 i777 at&t , everything was working just fine until i installed jelly bean 4.1.2 !
But the problem is i installed jelly bean i9100 international version , im still a noob and i didn't know that.
The phone is working fine but the back and search button are not responsive i already did a factory reset/wipe and i installed some roms
like UCKH7_stock_root but that didn't help.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
The key mapping is different for the button configuration on the I9100. It is possible to use I9100 firmware on the I777 but you must use a kernel made for the I777, and there are a few other modifications that would be necessary such as the key mapping file.
You should probably flash SGH-I777 firmware, either stock or custom. You can do some reading in the forums here to see what is available. The stock 4.1.2 UCMD8 for the I777 is available in the Download Repository.
Please post a link to the I9100 firmware that you flashed, and I will be able to tell you how exactly to proceed. We need to know if you flashed the I9100 secondary boot loader or not.

Just download Shostock3 ROM from the SGH-I777 Android Development forum and get into recovery and, Wipe data/factory reset->
Clear cache->
Go to mounts and storage->Format system->
Get back and go to advanced-> Wipe dalvik cache->
Get back and choose install new zip-> Flash your Shostock3 zip. Done. Hope this helped

No big deal if you have flashed an I9100 ROM. U wont brick your phone as far as you can enter the recovery. Jus do the above. U'l be good to go.

Did you flash the SHOstock3 zip from recovery?
Definitely hardware problem. I mean if you clean flashed an i777 ROM(Maybe Shostock3 as per my suggestion) an you still cant get the buttons working, then it certainly is hardware issue.

Or maybe he didn do a proper flash. And its not about jumping to conclusions. I have had this problem twice, all I did was jus clean install an I777 ROM and everything was back in work again. I have this experience. So i thought it could be an hardware issue..or maybe an unclean flash which I didnt include above.

@creepyncrawly This is the ROM he flashed.
http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/02/...lly-bean-firmware-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-download/
This is the official JB. I have no idea here. I thought he flashed an custom ROM. But this is an I9100 official JB. There maybe a different solution for this and I certainly have no idea.

I'm downloading the file now to see exactly what is in there. May take up to an hour. I'll post suggestions after I look at it.
So , what are the results creepyncrawly ?
@AdnaneHMD,
The firmware you installed, "I9100XWLSD_I9100ITVLS1_I9100XXLS8_HOME" contains the I9100 secondary bootloader. You may find that when you try to put your phone into download mode, the regular I777 sequence of holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable will not work for you. This behavior is governed by the secondary bootloader, and I am pretty sure that the I9100 sequence is different.
You will need to first flash the SGH-I777 secondary bootloader (sbl.bin) by itself using Odin. You can find the .tar file you need in the Download Repository. Link is in my signature. Put the sbl.tar in the PDA slot.
First, open Odin on your desktop. Odin3 v1.85 is preferable. If the regular sequence does not work, you can put your phone into download mode with a jig, if you have one. Or you can try this: pull the battery and leave it out. Then hold down vol down (or both volume buttons) while plugging in the USB cable. The computer will provide the power.
If you had to flash with the battery out, remove the USB cable and insert the battery, and start the phone. The regular I777 sequence for download mode should now work.
Next, you want to flash the SGH-I777 stock firmware full package. You will find an Odin flashable tar version in the Download Repository. I would suggest that you flash the 4.1.2 UCMD8 version. Once the phone boots, you should be fully working. Now, if you want to root I would suggest you use Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit. Then you can install Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro and use it to install a custom kernel followed by custom firmware. Or you can leave your phone unrooted and stock if you prefer.
If you have questions, please ask. I will be traveling out of town later today, so will be away from the computer over night.

The assumption I have been using is that your phone was working normally with no issues until you flashed the I9100 stock firmware and then immediately upon rebooting the buttons failed. If that scenario it's accurate, then it's a pretty good chance, in fact almost a certainty, that the issue is firmware related, and not a hardware failure.
However, if the above is true, then the fix I suggested should have corrected the issue. Since it did not, we need to find where the facts deviate from the above. Look in about phone and report what firmware is currently installed. Then we need to know, would it be before you flashed the I9100 firmware, or during the return to I777 firmware?

OK, try this file:
https://copy.com/knvYJ
It's a flashable zip file that will restore the key libs to their i777 orientation. In the old days it was one of the files we used to rely on when we were manually porting 9100 roms via recovery only.
This should solve your problem... but then again, creepy's method also should have worked! Regardless, try it and let us know.

If the i777ucMD8 Odin flash was a Pass, wonder if a reboot into recovery and Wipe data/factory reset, then reboot...would fix ur problem ?
