Hey I have a i9100 that I had running on cm9 nightly. I updated my phone to the latest one at the time which was jul 22 and was 101.56 megs I believe. I went into cwm to install the firmware, wiped user data then installed the update. Install went fine, no errors in cwm. Although when I did wipe data I did not wipe cache with it.( I just wiped data accidentally because it was a force of habit since I flash alot)
Now the phone is in a boot loop. It won't go into recovery mode but will do download mode. Although when it is in download mode windows is saying that the device is malfunctioning. The setup I'm using is the same I've used to flash the phone atleast 30 times via oden so it should be working in theory.
Any ideas guys, I'm at the end of my rope as far as what to do.
Read this and see if that can help you

That's the First thing I read when I searched for a solution. But that relies on the computer seeing the phone, which mine doesnt. It's looking like jtag may be the route I have to go. Any have any experience with those services

No CM9 nightly is 101.56MB. They are usually around 130MB. You probably flashed a CM7 nightly. AS long as download mode is working, you can flash resurrection and then the correct nightly.... or odin back to stock, root... then flash the nightly, but make sure you have the correct version as the CM7 and CM9 nightlies appear in the same list and it's easy to grab the wrong one if you aren't careful.

Do you have the drivers installed? If so, and it's still not working, you might try a different USB port and/or cable combo to see if one of them could be wonky.

could it be that flashing cm7 on cm9 damaged the usb functionality. but the phone is still recognizing the jig that i have. the phone will go into download mode via button combo or jig. since the jig still works doesnt that mean that the usb port on the phone is still functional
HELP! Bricked Galaxy S2- GT-i9100
I have a galaxy s2 gt-i9100 and i love this phone but it's been bricked and i want to know if theres anything i can do. I was running cm10 no problem for awhile now even though one of my flashes took away my computers ability to see my phone when plugged in and i've tried everything. I thought mobile odin was what i was looking for to flash the official JB that came out. so i flashed it and then that was all she wrote for my phone. won't turn on at all i just see a greyed out battery on my screen.
i can get into download mode using button combos no problem but odin doesn't recognize just like computer.
I can get into recovery mode but it's not the same as when cm10 was on i think it's stock recovery from when i tried to flash with mobile odin and the options it shows me do not help me at all.
my question is: can i save my phone? or do i have to buy a new one?
P.S. It must be the phone cause i'm using a new computer and it can't see the phone either, i downloaded kies and when i plug in the phone it still goes through the process of finding and trying to DL the drivers but then it fails. same as my computer.
please and thank you

Hello Sirs,
Today I was about to flash the long awaited CM9-RC1 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 device with ROM Manager. After downloading it with Rom Manager I checked the three options:
Wipe Factory/Reset
Wipe Dalvik
Backup Device
Phone reboots and screen turns black. I waited for a good 15 minutes yet nothing happens. I popped the battery out and tried to fire it up again but now it wont start properly. It will be detected by computer as a "Unrecognized Device" only. The phone shows the Samsung logo + the flashcounter warning I assume? (Yellow triangle with exclamation mark.).
I cant access recovery-mode (clockworkmod) the only thing I am able to access is "Downloading Mode" but the device remains "Unrecognized Device" by computer. I did a little research about this problem - I only found some tips on changing cables/clean usb-port. None of which worked out to any advantage. I cant access the phone with adb either, and USB Debugging is not enabled as far as I know.
Odin nor Heimdall wont recognize the phone.
Downloading Mode
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 Counts)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
Previously installed on the phone was 20120624-CM9-NIGHTLY along with Siyah Kernel SGS2 v3.3.2.
Worth to mention is that this happened to two phones at the same time. My brother also flashed his today and got the same result. Also with Siyah kernel as mentioned above.
I've tried 4 different USB-cables, and two different Windows 7 computer. Also I've reinstalled one of the computers to try a little more. No success.
This tells me that there is something with the Siyah kernel that borks the phone somehow. Yet it seems possible to fix it since I can access the "Downloading Mode". Dont you think? Anyone with similiar issues and maybe have a solution for this?
And if there is no software solution to this is it possible that a USB-JIG would sort this out?
Sincerely,
Your problem is likely rom manager instead of siyah kernel or otherwise. Rom Manager does not work properly on our phone and is known to cause problems when installing things with it. Did you install drivers with the other computers you tried?
Went through this today too. My fault for using Siyah
Don't freak out, just grab Odin 1.85, and flash the noob-proof build available in the Discussion thread from Download Mode.
Your data will be wiped btw. A safer way would be to flash the Recovery via Odin, and once in recovery, reflash CM9.
The lesson of the story is to not use Siyah, as it's not supported under CM9

Well I am kinda freaking out since the device keeps showing up as "Unrecognized Device"! So I am not able to flash anything since it doesnt show up anywhere. I cant do anything to touch the phones software. Its just b0rked I guess.
I actually have the same problem with a S2 LTE which suffered from the same symptoms as stated above. Im starting to suspect maybe a crappy USB cable is the underlying reason for this, causing the usbport on the phone to fry or something.
Did you install drivers with the other computers you tried? Yes sir I installed the proper drivers there aswell.
I tried flashing the latest RC of cm9 and it went well even though i have siyah as the kernel. You shouldn't have flashed through rom manager. I flashed it through recovery

I hate ROM Manager. Is some app that I will never trust. The only purpose of ROM Manager: money, and placebo [you think it's the easiest way to flash stuff]. Can't find out why they put this in the ROM. At least they could make some OTA download. What is the Software update for at settings? Don't know...
ROM manager is crap. Never use it. That is what caused the issue. I am using CM9 based ROM with Siyah without any problem.

So what are you suggesting I should use instead? I'm hoping to return
the phone in topic when ive jigged it and demand a new one since there is still warranty hehe.
Don't use Rom Manager with kernels which have CWM/CWRecovery I.E. Siyah, CWM is more than capable of doing all the flashing/backups/restores/etc you need. If you end up using CM9 & Siyah again, make sure you freeze Rom Manager with TI or similar.

So the weirdest of things just happened. I left the phone discharging with the download mode active during the night. Today I bought a new phone (4100SEK /$585USD) and I thought maybe, just maybe it works now. I put the device in Download Mode and now popped it into the computer with the same cable as yesterday. And there it was "Device installed successfully!". Holy ****. Fired up Odin v1.85 and just pushed that damn recovery image onto the phone and bam! Rebooting, works like a charm. Now thats just f**king unbeliveable. But of course this wouldnt have happened if I DIDNT buy a totally new phone. The irony.
Moderator you may close this thread and save it for future reading.

Sorry all, i have seemed to messed up my phone. Was on abberation and running great, then i see someone was getting amazing battery with the dream kernal and decided to give it a shot, I think i downloaded the wrong one because my phone will no longer go past the samsung logo screen, just sits there, So i try and manually get into CWM and cannot get into it, O i figure i have done somehting real dumb and flashed a kernal that doesnt have CWM? Either way i try to get odin to recognize my phone and i cannot, windows keeps saying its not recognized.... I have tried 3 different cords, and 25 usb ports on three different computers to no avail...Is there some secret? not sure why windows 7 and samsung make it so impossible for this to happen. As i am ready to light all my computers on fire and throw my i777 into the street i figure i should post on here first and take a deep breath and remember im just a amateur when it comes to this stuff. I have installed and removed kies numerous times, restarted the computer multiple times, downloaded and installed unistalled the drivers from samsung directly... any help would be greatly appreciated as i dont have a phone for the moment. I have a jig and can get into download mode no problem.

First please verify that you have the SGH-I777. (Not the SGH-I727 or some other device.)
Next, try to enter recovery by holding the three buttons, vol- vol+ Pwr. If necessary, hold continuously while the logo appears, goes away and appears the second time, then release and see if it boots into recovery.
If you successfully flashed the wrong kernel, and only the kernel but not the system, then it should still have ClockworkMod Recovery, which may boot. If it boots, use recovery to flash the correct kernel for your phone.
It would be helpful to know exactly what you attempted to flash.
If this does not get you going, then post your results and we'll continue to help.

booted fine after flash, then when i rebooted it frooze at samsung logo
cannot get into recovery only download mode

thats what i flashed and i was on abberation 1.3
is that only a jellybean kernal? was thinking it did ics and jb? was that the issue...
was my USB port.... changed it with the new one i had ordered a few weeks back and walah! odin recognized it. took about 4 mins to replace micro usb port, should have done when i got it
Glad you're back in business. That download looks like the correct kernel for our phone, so I don't know why it didn't boot. The kernel should be good for both ICS and JB (both 4.x). If it was me, I'd probably download from XDA.
That's the link from xda?

Yeah, I see that's their official download page, linked from the XDA thread. I havn't visited that thread in a long time.
Aberration comes with Siyah, but there's no reason I know of that it wouldn't work with Dream Kernel. I don't know what caused your problem. Maybe a bad flash?
Did you get your phone back?
Never mind... I saw that op posted on one of my threads at about the same time i posted here, so i deleted this

Hey man, I use version 2.7.4, may wanna try that one. Download the kernel, uninstall ex tweaks or whatever yer currently using to control cpu stuff, then reboot into recovery. Wipe cache, and flash new kernel. Then reboot,(into android) and install ex tweaks again. This is how I do it and it works for me. Good luck.

Hi Guys,
Sorry to bother you with this, but I'm out of ideas...
I decided to root my i9100 using this guide9.
As I was doing this, the recovery rom would reboot when using the volume buttons to navigate (only on the first "page") - This was easily worked around by using the touchscreen, but now I'm wondering if this was the start of my issues...
I applied the SU busy box installer, and got root. I installed rom manager, and noticed that it seemed to lock up when doing certain things. I put this down to CWM saying there was no official mod for the i9100.
The next day I decided to try and install a CM10.1 nightly, so I took a backup, wiped cache and data, and applied the rom and gapps.
When I rebooted, the phone wouldn't finished booting, it just sat at the initial logo screen.
After that, I tried following this recovery guide but the odin flash failed at around 80% (I retried and the same happened again).
Since then I've had difficulty getting in to recovery mode. I've tried flashing various stock roms with odin, and trying to restore with Kies.
In Kies I get as far as it conencting to the phone in download mode, but it pops up a "notice" in a foreign language - presumably Korean (and I can't copy the text to even attempt a google translation).
I tried flashing Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 to get a different recovery - that seemed to have a garbled progress bar, before hanging when I tried to wipe /data again.
When I use odin to flash a stock rom - is it supposed to restore absolutely everything? I'm not sure how I'm still getting problems if this is the case. Any ideas on what to try next?
(The current stock rom I'm try ing to use is this one)
Let me know if I'm missing any info, and thanks in advance for any help.
Using rom manager would have been the start of your problems-not the temp cwm recovery in the rooting guide.
If you can boot into download mode then I would download LP7 stock rom, disable kies and flash that with Odin.
{go back to your iphone since you are an android noob}
Thanks for the reply.
Rom manager didn't work properly for me, so I stopped using it. I used the temp cwm recovery to install the CM nightly.
I can boot in to download mode, but I've already tried an LP7 rom, - as with the others, it doesn't boot.
Any ideas on how to tell why it isn't booting? logcat doesn't seem to want to to work. Not sure if it's broken / too early in the boot process / etc

I9100 right?
Try this:
- Download this ROM.
- Kies installed? uninstall it, re install it. Close it all up with Task manager (3 or 4 applications running).
- Flash ROM via Odin (CSC, MODEM, PHONE).
- If that doesn't fly, try another usb port & usb cable. Another PC would also be recommended.
- Repeat the process.
- Still no luck? try flashing a previous siyah version.
- No go? repeat all the above.
- Let us know how you did.

For some reason, I can't get Odin to flash that rom - it just hands for a while at the start of data.img, before saying "Complete(Write) operation failed."
There a .pit file in the archive, although the link says not to repartition (so I didn't).
Some roms seem to get written, some don't, I'm not sure why...

Odin failed about 80% through flashing (step 4, after taking the ICS steps). I tried flashing the kernel afterwards, which flashed, but didn't help with my boot issues.

Of course, I was just trying to get a better understanding of how things work - I'd settle for anything booting right now.
I was meaning how far did you go with his guide.He says (near the end) to flash a bootloader/kernel/rom.
You can try everything in his guide, but understand about the risks involved with pit and bootloaders.

He's right.
Keep trying, consider pit files & bootloaders as a last resort.
Tried everything?
Used another usb cable for the flash? tried in another PC? tried in a laptop?
Are you sure kies is all shut down?
I've read about so many people having the same issue than you, they keep on flashing as in trial & error and most times they come out winners.

I guess I'll keep at it then.
I'd tried another cable with kies shut down. Just tried a different machine, and flashed the ROM you suggested with heimdall. It flashed without complaining (unlike odin), but I'm still getting a boot loop.
Looking at the initial recovery guide I was following - I suspect that I might've flashed the bootloader (the guide shows in bold which file goes in which box, so I probably loaded them all). Maybe this is the source of my troubles...
I also noticed that heimdall can pull data from the phone too - if I can pull and mount these, am I likely to find any useful log files?
For completeness (and anyone else who finds themselves with the same issue): It seems I hit the EMMC brick bug, which rendered some of my EMMC storage unusable.
This helpful chap came up with a workaround to partition around the dead space. (Please read the post carefully and make sure this really is your problem before flashing!)
That method will let you know what part of your memory is corrupted. It's done via recovery as far as I remember.
Did you bring your device back to life?

Yes, that's right. IIRC, I flashed a working recovery with Odin, then did most of the work from adb shell.
I got my device back to life for the most part. I get the occasional hang but haven't investigated much (have since bought a Nexus 4, so not using the S2 so much).

Hi there,
I'm having a huge problem with my SGS3 and hope that you'll be able to help me with it.
A week ago I wanted to install the latest version of CM10.1, I was running CM10 before. Everything went fine until my phone all of a sudden shut down. My best guess is that the battery died, even though I had it connected to the charger. After that I wasn't able to boot the phone. I tried reinstalling the ROM via CWM, did a factory reset and wiped dalvik/cache, but that didn't help either. After lots of fiddling around I was finally able to get the latest stable version of CM9 running, but I do not receive a carrier signal.
- phone isn't recognized by either Odin or Windows itself (another Galaxy S3 I tried worked just fine), although CM9 clearly says it's connected to my PC (connected as media device/android debugging enabled)
- the only ROM I have been able to successfully install & boot so far was the latest stable version of CM9. I tried both CM10 and CM10.1, but after the installation they were stuck on the GT-i9300 splashscreen.
- CM9 installation seems unable to detect my SIM card. I'm not getting any carrier signal and it won't even show the phone's IMEI. SIM works fine in other mobile phones.
- my stock backup died with my external HDD a month ago
I really hope that somebody can help me, I tried everything I could think of already. Thanks in advance!

As I stated in my OP I am unable to get ODIN to work with this phone, whereas another GT-i9300 works just fine. So it's not the cord/drivers/my PC.
it has to be. there's absolutely nothing else you can do
Welp. I can't get the USB connection to work, I have no idea why. The other galaxy gets detected, mine isn't. Isn't there any way to fix it without using Odin? Or am I stuck with a better MP3 player now?
Try mobile odin?
Have you tried installing a Samsung based ROM via CWM like Omega, Revolution HD or Alliance? Revolution HD has a good SuperWipe tool you can use to completely reset everything(all your data will be lost). I use it often even with other ROM.

Just tried it. I wanted to install the latest Samsung stock ROM. After it installed and the device rebooted it got stuck on the splashscreen again. Since the installation removed CWM I'm not even able to install CM9 again. Well, it's bricked for good. Time to send it to the service center.

Hi there i have a SGH-i717 with AT&T 2.3.4 Stock installed..I did have Cyanogen 10.1 and Avatar all installed in the last 72hrs..I have wiped all that and did a return to the stock AT&T thinking that my HOME keys would return..NO LUCK..The problems started about 4 days ago when the phone started turning itself off automatically..I changed custom ROM's etc to try and fix the problem..then i read to use Kies to try and do a Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to go back to the start when i first got the phone..But now Kies will NOT recognise the phone..I have re-installed drives, Kies to no avail..Any tips ?
Also someone suggested to flash this kernel h0tcakez-JB-Kernel-v2.3.5-ALT but when i tried through system recovery is gives a falied error..

Hi there i have a SGH-i717 with AT&T 2.3.4 Stock installed..I did have Cyanogen 10.1 and Avatar all installed in the last 72hrs..I have wiped all that and did a return to the stock AT&T thinking that my HOME keys would return..NO LUCK..The problems started about 4 days ago when the phone started turning itself off automatically..I changed custom ROM's etc to try and fix the problem..then i read to use Kies to try and do a Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to go back to the start when i first got the phone..But now Kies will NOT recognise the phone..I have re-installed drives, Kies to no avail..Any tips ?
Also someone suggested to flash this kernel h0tcakez-JB-Kernel-v2.3.5-ALT but when i tried through system recovery is gives a falied error..

If you are on stock 2.3.4 and tried to flash that kernel .. that is why it failed .. it would be the wrong kernel for that rom. Did you flash a stock rom in recovery? If so then I would suggest using oden to return to stock . then see what you end up with.

Thanx for you reply..I did however flash stock 2.3.4 from oden..I deleted everything in recovery then went to oden and flashed the stock rom..Should i unroot/unbrick flash from oden?
That article about returning to original settings in Kies seems to make sense except for the fact that i cannot get Kies to recognise the phone...
Are we talking about Software ou Hardare issue in your opinion?
Cheers
Could be a hardware issue. Try this ... Put the phone into download mode then connect to the pc. Use the cable that came with the phone. Also use a port on the back of the pc ..not a hub. Then open kies and do the emergency firmware update.
Also ... When you used Odin to go to stock ..you installed the 3e recovery ..that's why it failed to flash. Which is a good thing. That kennel would have boot looped you.

Okay i installed from ODIN Stock 2.3.4.....I dont have a port on the back of the PC to use as i only have a Laptop...Kies will not recognise the phone..Even when the phone is at Stock it takes soooo long to boot up..approx 2 mins..can i not run the emergency firmware update from ODEN? If so where can i find the software please..
Also even when i go into recovery mode it shows error signs..it wont let me wipe cache or wipe data/factory reset..

The lap top is fine. Emergency firmware is through kies and not Odin. You need download mode ... Not recovery.

Hi there thanx for your answer..I have not tried at that site..this program will do what? COMPLETELY wipe my phone??cheers
It will, it completely erases everything. Replaces recovery and losses root. Very simple to use, I use it every other month.

Yep i used it..very good..But my original and main problem..Continues..NONE of my HOME keys are working..I fear that it is a Hardware issue with the SGH-i717..I guess i have to take it to Samsung for repair..Until someone else can give me a solution..I have tried everything and nothing has worked..No HOME keys..Cheers
Definitely not a hardware issue, there where some changes made IIRC in the kernel driver files, once flashed they prevented the homerow buttons from working normally, the only way I ever found to make them work right was to flash the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel series, let it boot, then return completely to stock!
If you dig around, FJ's alt kernel's are around here somewhere!

Good morning, well i believe i have finally arrived at a possible solution..I have searched hi and low for these Flappjaxxx alternate kernel ..I came up with a daunting array of alternatives for the complete amatuer as i am..I appreciate that your time is precious but i do need some general direction what exactly i am searching for..I have found this one but to be quite honest i am not sure if i need this whole ROM or just the Flappjaxxx alternate kernel'a..
http://db.communityrelease.com/developer_display.asp?DeveloperID=11381
https://github.com/flappjaxxx/kernel_samsung_sghi717
Also when i do eventually obtain the Kernel that i am looking for can i use ODIN to flash it? I installed this ROM which i beleive to be stock already..You wrote that i need to return COMPLETELY to stock..What is that 2.3.6???

My work schedule is absolute hell, and due to people flaking at work I have been called in 2x to cover on my only days off...
Needless to say, im about to pass out, so im going to make this useless post...
Either I, or someone else can link you to a FJ rom, and the FJ alternate kernel that match, what you will need to do prior is make sure you have EVERYTHING you want/need, backed up to GMail (in the case of Phone logs, SMS and MMS with the Backup to GMail app, yes, im whoring this fantastic app out) AND to your computer, NO not your SD card, but your computer!
Make sure you have the latest recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0 is what I have, but whatever TWRP is latest will do), wipe everything, then install the rom, boot, wait 10min, reboot into recovery, flash the alt kernel, boot, wait 10min, then test the home/back/menu/search key row, they should work, at this point, you CAN go back to the 2.x.x rom you where running, but if you have an i717, I have had nothing but love for the Stock rom update on AT&T once I performed a complete ODIN to it (flashing the ones here on the forum's resulted in random reboots here and there, and while less then ever before, still annoying, after an ODIN however, havent had a random reboot yet!).
There are issues with the GNote i717 JB release, many posted here, and quite a few here:
