HELP S2 not turning on - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello,
my phone is acting wierd
it boots till that yellow caution incon then again restarts
i was on rootbox and installed cm7 and not booting to recovary but can boot into download mode
after rebooting this happed
some one please help me
thank you

Are you still on CM7?
Does it still go into recovery? Have you tried clearing data/cache?
How much battery was it on when this happened? If low leave it charging for a bit and then try it on whilst charging.
Try a stock samsung firmware if anything else fails to let it boot.

Hi
what i did is
used rom cleaning script and installed CM7 and gave reboot
phone turns on till that yellow triangle (main screen where samsung S2 comes) and restarts
cant go to recovary mode
from where can i download odin flashables?
should i try flashing with odin is it safe?
please im not in position to buy a phone

Have you tried to go to the stock rom first?
1. Download the stock rom of your phone. 4.0.3
2. Download Odin
3. press the sleep buttom, home buttom and the volume up.
4. wipe the cache and do a factory reset after that turn off your phone. (alternative)
5. Press sleep buttom, home buttom and volume down then you'll get to download mode.
6. put in the usb cabel on your phone and the pc.
7. Then it will connect to the pc and odin.
8. extract the stock rom and have it on your desktop.
9. now on odin press on PDA and select the file.
10.now press start.
Everything should go smooth so after that you can install cf root and if you did a backup you can restore it, unless you had it on the internal storage.
(dont forget to do a nandroid or cwm backup before installing rom into your external storage!

i dont know from where i can get odin flashables
i called my phone and got build info
Android 4.0.3
IML7K.XWLP7
DDLPA
My phone : I9100
Country : India
Thank you

If you skip the recovery part you should be able to restore internal backup

Did you wipe data when you flashed cm7?
Its necessary.

Somebody help this guy quick! He's in the wrong section!

You can download odin flashable's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 and here: http://www.samfirmware.com/ and also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Try to flash an ROM from India, or if you flash a ROM from a different country or region and you have problems with your network you can try and flash a modem which works specific in India

if you want the stock rom just go to samfirmware.com and download there unfortunately i cant send the link because i need to post 10 posts

Dont forget you need to sign up an account on samfirmware to download firmware
Think u need this one

i was thinking the same thing. u cant flash to stock using kies on a custom rom, but u can flash back to stock via odin.
for odin to recognize your phone, please get your phone into download mode where by your screen will only show the word "downloading" in yellow...
Go to download mode (hold down Vol down+power+home) then connect to pc. If that won't work, put off your sim, sd, battery. Connect to pc. Now hold down vol down + power + home for a while. Now put in your battery and again hold down vol down + power + home. That worked for me when i broke my rom It don't have to work for you. You can try this only at your own risk.

if you has RESTORE the Backup in CWM, before reboot, perform full wipe/data. if still bootloop, Shutdown and perform full wipe/data again. I had experience too. Sorry for my English.
If your device not detect on your PC, reinstall SAMSUNG DRIVER and REBOOT.

S3 cannot boot into recovery mode

Hi All
First of I would like to thank you all for having me on your forum.
Second, I live in South Africa, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and my service provider is Vodacom.
I am trying to root my device.
I did manage to get into the "Downloading" Mode and using Odin I managed to install the "clockworkmod"
The next step is to boot into recovery mode (Press and hold Volume Up, Home Button & Power Button) but my S3 does not want to go into recovery mode. When I follow the steps it freezes on The Galaxy Logo.
I really want to root my device to use ALL of the awesome stuff you guys develop.
Thank You in advance.
Only hold vol up + home + power until you see the white galaxy s3 writing then release

Hi
Thank You for the Reply.
I did only hold it down until the logo pops up and then I released.
It still freezes. I have tried holding it in for longer.
I have checked the net and came across different methods and that did not work.
Could it be that Vodacom changed how it goes into recovery mode?
I would say flash an open fw through Odin. *2767*3855# to clean phone from obsolete data. Make sure to backup what you need. Flash CF through Odin.
Boot to recovery through cwm app.

given that you have international i9300 downlolad on from the link above. extract it and it will be in tar or tar.md5 extension.
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238 and download ODIN, put extracted tar that you downloaded from sammobile at PDA section of Odin do not check anything else in Odin.
put device in download mode by pressing vol down+home+ power on, press vol up to acknowlede the warning.
connect device. before pressing Start make sure nothing from Kies program is running.
press start.
wait till it is over and phone reboots.
then *2767*3855#

put it in Odin again at PDA section. put device in download mode connect. press start. wait till reboot. you are rooted. to boot in recovery select cwm app that is in appdrawer and select to boot in cwm.

all root and recovery tools are included.only full firmware is not included

just try and read some before flashing. and Always search the XDA forum for what you want. do not expect everything always from someone.
remember to read everything before trying to flash and always backup backup backup.
i do not use rom manager for flashing and backup. in Clockworkmod I Trust!!! lol

Restoring Galaxy S2 to Stock

I'm just about to sell my Galaxy S2 so just wondering how to revert it to stock? It's currently on CheckROM v6.
Cheers

MistahBungle said:
In CWRecovery; format cache, data, system, & internal sd card. In Odin, flash stock rom. Then jig or Triangle Away to reset flash counter. Done. That's what I'd do if I was selling it or sending it in for warrant service.

You missed a point. Triangle Away needs root. So use it first, then do all the other steps

Also you can be sure everything is stock as per youor country/region, if Samsung Kies recognizes your phone and says "Update available" or "This is the latest firmware".
I've found the guide to restore to stock firmware here:

And the list of stock firmwares here:

Just one n00b question, though.. How do I know which stock ROM to flash on to the phone? I'm in Australia and it came from Vodafone stock (but was unlocked).

I looked for the CSC for Australia and it's XSA, so any device in Australia would I guess be that. The firmware below is single CSC, so it's only for Australia. It's Android 2.3.6 Unbranded.
GT-I9100_XSA_I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_I9100XXKI
Steps to flashing back to stock:
1. If you've got the yellow triangle, remove it with Triangle Away..
2. Put the phone into download mode (volume down + home button + power button)
3. Open Odin v1.85 You'll see in the white box when the device is plugged in and also in download mode a message saying "Added!"
4. Select the firmware you downloaded, extract to to see the GT-I9100_XSA_I9100XWKK2_I9100XSAKK1_I9100XXK.tar.md5 file.
5. Select PDA in Odin, select the file you now extracted.
6. Start flashing.
PS. You need to wipe/data cache after doing this or before else you'll be stuck in a bootloop. That can either be done in CWM, or the stock recovery.
Odin will take about 2 minutes for the whole process and you'll be back to stock.
Hope I helped.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just tried Mounting /System and installing the .apk from Root Explorer and I still get the same parsing error.
Is there a different TriangleAway version I could download perhaps?

I think if you flash stock firmware with Odin you do not get a yellow triangle.

Is it possible to restore a stock rom onto my S2 without using the USB port/ODIN?
My S2 has a faulty USB port that only works for charging (sometimes if I wiggle the cable around), cannot transfer data over the usb cable at all and will not connect to my pc so doubt it is going to work with ODIN.
I can transfer files to the phone using airdroyd and can flash using Rom Manager, will this return it to the standard rom if I flash the correct ROM onto it?
Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks

Yes, you can.
Use Mobile Odin app (requires root). It works like Odin, but u don't need a PC for that!
And avoid using ROM Manager. Many people have had issues using it before.

Hi guys
I'd like to do a factory restore to stock (full wipe) from rooted Vanilla Rootbox ROM V4.2 (JB 4.2.2) Do I just reflash a stock ROM from SamMobile?
I've been flashing custom ROMs for a while but something is screwy and unstable now and I get a "UID errors" message on boot-up so I want to start from scratch, then reroot and reload the custom ROM again.
Many thanks in advance.

Phone not turning on after factory reset

Hi all,
I've been having a few issues with my S2 (Randomly resetting, freezing, etc) - so I decided to do a factory reset - but it hasn't worked.
When I turn my phone on, it wont go past the galaxy logo. I've tried holding down VOLUME UP, POWER, and HOME - but it doesn't boot it into recovery mode.
I've downloaded odin (the phone is rooted) and was told to download a new ROM and then use the PDA button on odin. But the only file type it expects is MD5, tar and SMD. Whenever I download a ROM, I just get a ZIP?
I'm probably being stupid. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, I just want the phone working.

What ROM do you want to flash?
If it's a stock ROM, then extract the zip file and flash the contained tar/md5 file with Odin.
If it is a custom ROM and only provided as CWM-flashable zip file, then use a stock ROM to flash first and flash the custom ROM afterwards, when everything works again.
Here you can get the latest stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487, or pre-rooted stock ROMs from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071, or use Check Fus Downloader from here => http://fus.nanzen.se/ to check for the latest officiallly released firmware versions for your phone in your region and download it directly from Samsung servers.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I don't care which ROM I use - As long as I get the phone working again. I did download 7comp ROM but I couldn't find any .tar files?
I also converted the ZIP to a TAR but odin isn't picking it up ?!
OK - I've downloaded and installed the latest stock ROM you posted.
It seems to have installed, but doesn't go past the splash screen which says samsung galaxy Sii
Any ideas?
[EDIT] - Phone fixed. I was able to load it into recovery mode and cleared cache. woo
Well done ...now try to go on recovery mode ...if should be able to go....do full wipe...then clear delvik cache...then advance- fix permission ..
Then reboot system ....you are done...
Don't forget to say thanks..

Attempted to root the phone but it didn't work.
I followed a set of instructions, and was asked to wait for the phone to reboot. It now has the "!" rooted icon but won't go past the rooted screen.
System restore and clearing cache doesn't set it back to factory default. Any ideas?

Sorry for late reply. I followed a video on youtube showing you how to root the phone. It looked succesfull as the "!" did appear, but it wouldn't go past that.
So I rolled it back using the original ROM and have given up on rooting it. It's a shame as I really liked Jelly Bean

hi all, ive downloaded this custom rom (xaiomi rom for samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505) and ive followed the step by step to install this new rom (yep, im still a noob to this) and now my phone seems to be stuck on the start up. im not sure what i did wrong because i made sure the rom was for my device. i used CWM to install it via ROM manager and now its stuck, i done what it told me to do like do a factory reset (i done that with cwm) and backed up all my data with TIBU but its just stuck, any ideas on what i should do? ive tried the battery pull and tried to boot into cwm recovery but it says in little blue writing *booting* or something like that but then it just returns to start up and freezes :/ thanks in advance
Please help asap!!!
please help me because i dont have a computer and im at my friends house leaving soon and i want to fix this before i go!!!!!
Get a stock rom and flash it via odin.
1) download Odin
2) download your stock rom
3) boot into download mode by holding volume down+power
4) connect the phone to your pc
5) where Odin has the PDA button, click and add your stock rom
5) click start.
If your computer picks up your phone, Odin will say "connected" and show yoyr device.
Hope this helps.
