So my friend has been using this site for over a year rooting his HTC Desire and said I should look into rooting my S2, and because the S2 is quite a popular phone it should be an easy hack. So I obliged and downloaded Odin and used this file.\CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4\CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.tar.
I put my phone into download mode, followed every step perfectly and it said the download was a success/pass. Now when I try to boot my phone back up it goes to the Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 screen, with a yellow triangle with an ! in the middle. And it wont boot anymore from there.
If this is an easy fix, or if there's an easy way to do this, I apoligize I'm a phone noob. Thanks for any help.

1. make sure you're in the right forum for your device, and used the right file. What is your model number? (printed on the label under the battery)
2. where did you get that file? (CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4)
3. did you make a note of what your original kernel version was before you began? (this may be too much to hope for)

Yikes. That thread says:
CF-Root Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
We do not have a CF-Root version of our kernel so just flash any kernel using the instructions provided in the link and flash the stock kernel back (found below). Root will remain as well as the CWM app but you will loose clockwork mod recovery.
Click to expand...

Which is very VERY vague, and is probably why it screwed up. You can't just flash ANY kernel - it has to be one close to the one you already have. For example, if you had ICS on the phone, and flashed an older Gingerbread kernel (which the one you downloaded is version KG2, is an older Gingerbread kernel build), then the phone wouldn't boot.

If you didn't know what version you had, then there really isn't a way to recover without flashing a whole firmware.
Download an I9100M firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100M and flash that to get back to ICS. Then go back to the CF-root thread, and make sure to read the instructions in post 1. Pay particular attention to the part that says "Help! Which file do I use ?"

Only if the phone shipped with the UGKG2 build (you have one too many "k"s in there) of Android. (which isn't guaranteed).
Ok so I have that file downloaded, and I downloaded the correct file from that site. Now I'm trying to install the firmware onto my phone, but its in MD5 format, and not .TAR. I tried googling how to fix this but couldnt find anything, how would I go about changing the file so that Odin can pick it up?

Odin should pick up an md5. Mine does. Put it in the PDA box and leave everything else alone.
Okay it's back to how it was before I tried to hack my phone. Thanks for the help!
I still want to try rooting my phone, even though I failed pretty bad my first time. My Kernal is LD3 and when I went to the other topic to look for the file, they don't have it, is there a file for my kernal version?

If you don't want to worry about kernel versions, use this.
EDIT to add: according to this post, you can use LP7 for rooting LD3.

Boot your phone to download mode. (volume down- home - power)
Download the latest Siyah Kernel (6.05b (the tar file)).
Start ODIN on your PC.
Press the PDA-button, and add the SiyahKernel file.
Connect your phone to a USB drive while it's on download mode.
Press "Start" on ODIN.
Now, if this doesn't work, download another version of ODIN. After trying all the versions, try all those versions again on a different USB port. If you STILL can't flash it, try another computer (and all the USB ports on that). If it still doesn't work, you probably have need for service.
I did this on my phone yesterday, and ODIN 1.85 worked on (only) one of my USB ports, so by all means, start with 1.85 first.

T-Mobile screen? U sure u have an I9100 and not a SGH T989?
Check under battery to be sure.
Siyah v6 is for JB mate. That's the reason things got messed up. For 4.0.4, you should have used Siyah v5.0.1.

Since u can flash successfully with Odin, simply flash the stock firmware for ur device and it should boot up without issues. I suggest u flash either 4.0.3 or 4.1.2.

Like I already mentioned, Siyah v6 is for stock JB. The OP has 4.0.4, so flashing the latest Siyah v6 will still result in bootloop.
And the other steps you mentioned are for when Odin flash fails. I don't think the OP has mentioned Odin flash failing yet. He has only told of being stuck in a bootloop.

Use Odin to flash speed mod kernel. Place it in the PDA and flash. You can download it from his thread here on xda. Just search Google.
Steps:
1. Download the kernel
2. Put phone in download mode (down volume, home and power)
3. Open Odin and click PDA and then find the speedmod kernel found here ( http://vln01.helochat.com/tourist/speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar )
4. Flash!!

Hi, I'm pretty new to this too.
Just wondering, I used "GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure.tar" to flash my Galaxy SII, then s2root. I get superuser, but I can't find CWM.
Can I use this kernel you guys posted as well? Or is it for his specific phone?
I'm really having problems getting CWM, and I'm scared of trying stuff before getting a backup.
So if installing that kernel installs CWM as well, and works for my model too, then I'm going for it.
Thanks.

You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...
you told your Running ROM was 2.3.6 but KI3 is an old version...

You say you dont have Kies. Download kies. Run it and it will install the drivers. Close Kies. Make sure its not running in the background. Install your original firmware that came with the phone using Odin. If your in download mode, your not bricked.

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.

If flashing an I777 firmware fixed your problem, what in the world are you doing in the I9100 forums instead of the I777 forums in the first place?

I see that. Did you also direct him to the I777 forums and tell him to not flash any more i9100 ROMs and firmwares? Else he'll end up in the same spot if he does it again.

other issues. i cant go to recovery. (up home power)
My windows 7 doesnt recognize my phone. so no odin.
any help ?
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.
Okay maybe this will come out as silly question but; Can I flash Custom Recovery like CWM-Touch through Mobile Odin ?
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 :/
Thank you !

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.
You can install kernel thrugh stock recovery if the zip file is signed and in the internal sdcard root folder yust to rename it update.zip

I have got this file "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip" from CWM website itself (1.5MB).
So should I just rename it "update.zip" and flash through stock recovery ?

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 the other day i rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 and i ended up not liking it. So today I tried to remove the root by a factory reset using the settings option. While in the process it froze, so I removed the battery(BIG Mistake). It wouldn't turn on so I tried recovering via samsung kies which ended up not recovering due to "unexpected errors". Ok, then i tried Odin with a stock version of ics for my model, itjust keeps saying failed. At this point i'm frustrated and don't know what to do. All i'm trying to do is to get back to ICS 4.0.4 with NO root. Can somebody please help me? Any help is very much appreciated.
-Thanks

Root won't be removed by factory reseting. At this point you have or you are very close to bricking your phone. STOP, and answer these:
Can you get to the download mode?
Can you get Odin to recognize your phone in download mode?(does the COM port number light up in Odin?)
Do NOT have the repartition option checked in odin.
Use Odin 1.85 or 1.87 and leave all the options on default and loadup your Stock ROM in PDA section to get a clean flash and don't disconnect while flashing (big no no)
After Odin reboots your phone, disconnect the cable and pull the battery. Put it back in and do a full wipe/reset, and let it boot
If Odin fails to flash STOP messing with it, your next move should be to try the "[Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)" by Entropy512.
Cheers and good luck, It happens to the best of us (learning is fun, and try to get something out of it too)

why does your Odin say epic 4g? try this odin ... attached. And check update bootloader.
Your stock ROM file is .tar stock right? you might have to download it again if this fails it might be a bad tar file.

Is your battery out? Make sure you use the correct Odin version and your drivers are downloaded so your device can be recognized. Make sure your battery is out, that's how I unbricked my S2
