Plz help me,
I was trying to root with siyah.
i followed manual
-Installed Kies on mine Windows 7
-download ODIN and latest siyah
-started odin and browse for siyah v3.4.tar in PDA slot
- started S2 in download mode and connected via Data cable
- after reboot i have yellow triangle (warning sign)
I know that this sometimes happens after rooting
BUT WHATEVER I DO I CAN'T PASS THAT SCREEN
I try to remove battery but after i put it back and switch on SAME THING.
Cant start it in download mode
Computer don't recognize it anymore so i cant root with some other kernel.
I CANT EVEN SWITCH IT OFF!!!!!
Thing that worries me is when i connected S2 in download mode damn Windows 7 has automatically installed some driver but ODIN has recognize it after finished driver update
1) Remove the f word from your post before mods see it & ban you.
2) If you really can't get into download mode, your last chance before you send it off to Samsung is a jig. Probably won't work, but worth a try. You never know.

You didn't heed this very sound advice, did you?
Ok. In order for anyone to help you, you must provide a lot more information than you do.
Model number of phone? (GT-i9100? GT-i9100G? GT-i9100M/P/T? SGH-i777? SPH-D710? SGH-T989?)
Current firmware of phone? (is it GB? ICS? Siyah 3.4 is meant for ICS. If you flashed it onto a phone that has 2.3.6 or lower, that could be your issue)
Ohhhhhh....It's that guy. I'm a clairvoyant aren't I ? I can see the future !!

Ok, that is your issue. Siyah kernels are for i9100 phones. NOT for i9100G phones.
I find it hard to believe this would now prevent you from getting to download mode though.
Do this:
- take out battery
- hold vol down, home and power buttons, and keep holding
- put battery back in
This should get you to download mode.
Then flash a kernel actually meant for an i9100G. (look for one in the i9100G development subsection)
Then, here's something key for you: stick to firmwares, kernels, and ROMs ONLY MEANT for the i9100G.
i9100G has a different SoC/chipset than the i9100, so these things are not compatible between the two devices.

Cite where you read this information please. As stated, because of SoC/chipset differences, I don't know of ANY kernels that support both the i9100 and i9100G.

If you don't know what firmware version you were on, then I'd just start over at this point, and flash a stock i9100G firmware. This will get you back to Gingerbread.
Then you can do whatever you want, but again, make sure you stick to G-variant firmwares, kernels and ROMs.
I will try.
Tnks for helping stupid guy who try to flash android phone like Windows Mobile 6.5.3
PS.
I noticed that i9100 have much larger support then i9100G.
is it then safe to say that I9100 is better then I9100G, and i was cheated since i told in the store that i wanna buy I9100 ??

In response to your PM (that you sent twice, for some reason...) that asked:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I wouldn't say the I9100 is necessarily BETTER than the I9100G, but I think that's a matter of opinion.
It benchmarks a little better due to the Exynos processor in the I9100 running a tad faster than the OMAP in the I9100G, but I've heard that for the most part, real world performance differences are hard to notice, and the I9100G runs cooler.
The I9100 has been available for longer, so as a result there has been more development for it, but since the I9100G has an OMAP (which is also the processor the Galaxy Nexus has), porting has somewhat recently (in the last few months) picked up for the G-variant. (CM9 is in nightlies for the I9100G)

Hi everyone.
I had just bought the new Samsung galaxy s2,
the attachment got the screenshot of version of my phone.
now I was doing lot of reading on this forum before I do anything.
then I decided to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320328 rom to my phone.
now as far as I know that 1st step is to take backup of my contacts and phone data.
then copy the zip file to sd card and try to install this rom as per instruction but then I got confused about " Find the best modem for your network"
can somebody help me with this.
right now I don't know anything about android but I am quick Lerner.
can you explain me what this modem does. If I messed with it, will I be not able to connect wifi.
I had seen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593 thread. but I dont know what is all about. If I get some idea them might I will understand more quickly..
thanks hoping somebody will help me.
You have an I9100T model phone.
What they are saying is that each user of their clean and simple Rom may have different results with different modems.
The linked modem thread has good info on users experience around the world and what works best in their region for their carrier, mainly for the I9100 model.
Many users in Australia are saying that the I9100T model works best with the modem that comes on the 'T' device.
Read that modem thread for more info and I think there is a link in there for the 'T' model modem thread. Also might help to check out the Australian thread. Heaps of I9100T users comments in there.
Good luck.
Edit: I believe WiFi is handled by the kernel not the modem. The modem is more for connection to your carrier.

Hi, welcome to the wonderful world of the SGS2!
Nice choice on first ROM to try out ;-)
first thing you need to do is root your phone and install clockworkmod and superuser. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 is a really great guide and source of the knowledge. That thread is where I started from to learn the ways of android.
regarding the modem: this relates to mobile cell reception rather than wifi. Some different modems work better than others, latest is not always best. The modem can also be network carrier dependant.. Network 3 optimised have always been the best for me. Modems can be flashed and tested fairly easily once your accustomed to your rooted phone and using cwm(clockworkmod).
Hope this helps!
thanks for the reply guys.

1. The yellow triangle is present because you flashed a unofficial kernel. There is a way to remove it in the thread OR you can buy a jig off eBay and just plug it in.
2. Did you set the connection settingin the notification bar/ settings? You can also try to reinstall the drivers for your phone.
Thanks for reply guys. I fixes the usb prob and order the jig form ebay. Thx

This is what intratech said about halfway down the 3rd post in his official firmware thread.
***********
If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this package in the PDA or Bootloader (Yes both will work) section of Odin to replace the bootloaders and then you can reset the counter:http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD

You can try to get into Download mode using USB Dongle Jig.
If not, JTAG is the only way to unbrick. Unbrivk with JTAG costs about 50$ in my country. It will totaly reflashe the rom (bootloader, kernel, etc.).

Please Help. I flashed this Ice cream sandwich file "I9100XXLPB_I9100OXXLP5_OXX" on my galaxy s2 i777 and now i cant go back to stock. I get a frozen boot screen with the gt-i9100 logo. The only time I can get the phone to turn on is when I reflash the i9100 ics with odin. I dont want that because the back and search buttons dont work and internet data is not working. I just want to go back to the icsrewd that I had or foxhound. Please help. Thank you.
P.s. I also tried this, but didnt work "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)"
Why not flash back to what was working, as you stated you can, and then from there, clear/wipe etc., and flash what you do want?

If you can get into download mode you can flash back to stock. Just do everything you did when you flash the 1900 but use the stock one found in the development board and you should be fine

Flash back to stock first. You need to flash everything for the I777 that is in the i9100 package that caused the problem. Use an archive program to open the i9100 tar and look at the contents. It probably includes boot.bin, sbl.bin, and param.lfs. None of the stock I777 packages that you tried to flash have those. In that case, flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries from the Download Repository, which contains those files.
What Creepy said is accurate. The reason yer messed up is you flashed i9100 bootloaders most likely.

Ok this is not being mean or rude, but if you dont know the meaning of these basic terms then you need to stop what your doing and spend some time doing your homework. Will you be with out a phone for a few hours? Yes but this is the price you pay for doing something before you understand what your doing. So please before you do something that cant be fixed. Do the research.

since you are on 4.0.4 your phone probably have the brick bug. The easiest and safest way to root is to flash siyah kernel 5.01 or earlier version via ODIN. I believe you know how to use Odin.

Well, if you want to be entirely save, just stay on the stock rom.
However, if you're willing to take the risk, because it's never 100% safe, check if you're having an insane chip and eventually root your device with Odin. Several guides and explanations here on xda (and Google also).

Check the link below for the 'eMMC brick bug check' app from stores, install the same and see if u have got a Sane or Insane chip on ur phone
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check&hl=en
even if its a Insane chip, there is no need to worry as long as u wont do anything silly (like Wiping Data on the stock kernel recovery of android v4.0.4).
Just flash Siyah kernel v4.1.5 or v5.0.1 (tar file for ODIN) on ur phone, as custom kernel's like Siyah and Dorimanx are BrickBug free kernels and will not effect ur phone when u perform 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' from there Recovery
U can google for some Youtube Guides on 'How to flash Custom Kernel on galaxy S2 using Odin'
Good Luck!

u have a sane chip on ur phone, that means ur phone is not affected by the 'eMMC BrickBug'.
Still to be on the safer side u can install a custom Kernel of ur Choice Like Siyah v4.1.5 or v5.0.1 for example.
As the Cwm recovery that comes with it will aid in installing Custom Rom/Kernel of ur choice

Take my Advice and Stay on Stock Rom for now and dont toss all ur Savings investd on ur phone into thin air
try things listed below to see the diff on batt life
1)If not in use Turn off ur Data/wifi.
2)Turn Off all autosync on ur phone (E-mail, gmail, Location etc)
3) Use more of WIFI (when its availble) over DATA as much as possible.
4)if ur using Facebook/Skype/Googlechrome etc then SEEK alternative apps like Freindcaster/Stock Browser as they r more friendly on ur batt compared to the former one's.
5) turn off ur Data when ur on a low netwrk signal area.
this way u can get more Juice out of ur battery for sure

No offense, but I think you should try your phone for a few weeks first. Then you can start thinking about rooting, but first learn more about how to use it.
If you want to root it, read a lot first, because now you're asking things that are discussed a million times already.

If you are not sure you better wait for the official JB update from samsung which will be released next month hopefully..Normally stock ICS roms have good battery life. When i was using stock ICS i was able to get through a day without much problem. With siyah kernel you can underclock and undervolt cpu to save battery.
If you dont know how to use Odin search google and youtube. There are so many videos regarding the matter. Just follow the instructions.

If you learn how to use odin correctly brickbug is not a problem. Anyway stay on stock until you learn things. Screen normally uses most of the battery. It is normal enjoy your phone. Official JB will be released next month. At least thats what samsung says. Please be patient and hit the thanks button

Hited my friend, and thanks for the patient. All of you thanks too!
Can you provide me a link for that of samsung? I tried to find but I only see "in Ocotber-November" they will release:s
Root it without using odin. Then you can play with titanium to freeze and stcpu to governate.
You already got a bunch of carrier bloatware in your device. Same happened to me.
I started reading this forum, double checkin' all the time on "what is the safest method for me?", and came across a cmw & busybox zip files, rooted. Then I discovered Mobile Odin and, as I had enough with ICS, went up to JB leak with it.
It was so cool to flash my device in half-a-smoke time, no carrier boot animation, no carrier bloat whatsoever, I'm looking at 1-2 days battery, smoothness with butter project, and a really good loking device compared with my friends GB & ICS (they go like "what tha....".
But the guys are right too, you really gotta start enjoying your device, It truly is...an amazong phone.
first of all sorry if this is a repeated thread, very new to this site and no offense intended. please point me in the right direction if this is the case.
phone is very unresponsive with either a battery symbol (with circle inside - frozen) or galaxy s2 load up screen with triangle. I have previously rooted the phone with a litening rom through odin v 1.85. i was running a version of ICS on it and this morning i tried to upgrade to jellybean as a forum on this site had said it was possible. firstly in clockwork mod (holding power, vol up and home button) somewhere through the process of putting the file on the phone (instructions said to carry out the process through the clockwork mod) i have made a grave error. If I was able to get the phone to be recognised by the laptop I would be able to flash another stock kernel through odin to at least get me back functional and worry about tweaking later. Currently the phone won't recognise as a drive to the laptop though. Any advice people? Perhaps a suggestion also of a location of stock kernel for australian samsung galaxy s2 (using the virgin network).
That's just a soft brick, don't worry about it .
We got plenty of threads about phone not being recognized by PCs.
Checked the pistachio thread?

Hi (newb alert)
First of all thanks for all the info - followed the pistacchio thread to regenerate phone, that worked great. however, now once the phone is going again, repeatedly getting an overvoltage error message (did not have before) and the battery dying very quickly. I also cannot access the 3G network, but wifi is fine.
Can you recommend a course of action for this, not sure if i have flashed back to a complete stock rom or not, does that mean that the phone is still rooted? I would like to flash another rom if possible, but am not asking what one to use (have seen the rules of the site Sometimes the battery is even flashing . kernel version is 3.0.15-I9100XXLPH-CL118559 and build number is IML74K.XXLPH.
Any more info needed I am happy to provide. I was really happy with the slim ICS rom and would like to stick with that in the jellybean option if possible.
thanks
Go as stock as possible before going custom again.
See if issues persists.
Make sure you flash the right ROM for your device, noticed you're on I9100 ROM and you've only stated you own an "s II" , so, I cannot recommend any specific ROM because of the variants.
