Hello everyone.
My phone has been having some trouble lately and I'm trying to restore everything to as is for servicing. I found a thread with the stock Rogers Odin files, but the phone won't connect via USB(One of the problems) and the links are dead. Is there a CWM or another method to putting the stock firmware onto my phone? Odin does not work and neither does my SD card.
Thank you.

USB won't connect - problem with the cable? Or problem with drivers?
And can you clarify what you mean when you say your SD card does not work either?
Will try to help.

Hi. thanks.
The SD card is the reason why I'm sending the phone back. Two days ago it suddenly just said "SD card blank or unsupported". I tried putting it in my PC and still can't even format it. 16GB SD card. All my photo`s and files gone :S The USB cable thing I finally got working by buying a new cable, I think the other one may have been faulty. So yeah, ODIN now shows the phone connected, but I don`t have the right firmware to revert it too so that Rogers doesn`t deny me service.
Get the firmware for an Odin gingerbread install here:

You also can connect to kies and install the ics ROM.
You can install any custom ROM to get your phone straightened out and then install a Rogers ROM. And any custom ROM will work with Rogers.
Also if your cable was faulty, and your card was faulty, do you really need to send your phone back?

Hey, thanks. I want to send it back because I`d rather just get a replacement than deal with this one. The SD card dying out of nowhere has really dazed me because that has never happened to me before and I just took the phone for granted as is. Besides that way I can get a new card too, otherwise I have no storage. Too many faulty things came in the box, I`m weary of the phone.
I`ll try it out when I get home. Thanks again.
Edit: In the link you posted, which file should I download? And as for Odin. Each ROM is it's own installer right? There's no Odin program to install on my PC?
You don't install Odin on your PC. But you do run it on your pc. You will need Odin3 v1.85. You will need all files from that link and you place them respectively in the blanks on Odin.
The only ROMs that have their own installer are the Odin 1 clicks. And they are only for leaks and not official versions.
Might be easier for you to install Samsung Kies on your PC and install the ICS ROM.
IMO, the odin process is pretty easy.
Just plug each file into the proper slot, they are listed in order in the post.
Only extra step - the actual ROM file (largest file) you need to unzip.
It's a one step process, and COMPLETELY reverts you back to stock. Stock recovery, no root etc.
Only extra step now, is that if you are returning it, you need to reset the flash counter.

I have a mac, so no odin, and Heimdall won't recognize my sgs2. Originally i rooted my phone with a shell script. I then used Rom Manager to install Cyanogenmod 7.1. All was good til I decided to give ICS a spin, so I downloaded kp8 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php
And tried to flash using Mobile Odin. It flashed, rebooted, and now I am stuck at the boot screen. I am guessing that maybe I needed to get a CF-Recovery compatible build??
Anyways, just want to get back in working condition. I currently have no way to mount the sd card (no sd card mount option in normal recovery), so I have to wait until tomorrow when I can borrow a friends phone. Should I just try to update to a CF- kernel?
Do I need a pc?
Thanks
Do you have CWM recovery, or stock recovery?
If you have CWM recovery boot into it and wipe data/cache and it may boot or flash a rom of your SD card.
Otherwise borrow someones PC and use odin to flash back to GB, make sure to flash the GB bootloaders first. (On that note, did you flash the ICS bootloaders? As if you didnt that might be why its not booting)

Yup, you need new bootloaders for ICS, but beware, the current ICS leaks are buggy and not really ready to be daily drivers.
As you have stock recovery, I would just borrow someones PC and use odin to flash stock gingerbread back.
never mind
Just an update. I got the ability to copy files to my sd card. I have tried to do an update from sd card with
i9100XXKG1
CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4
Both resulting in "Signature verification failed".

Is my only recourse to find a pc or should I try something else? If I get a pc I will only have access to it for a short time, so want to make sure I am trying the right things.
That flash failed as Rom Manager likely broke recovery (has happened to me in the past, Rom Manager - bad).
PC as previously advised. I'd say you've exhausted all the non-PC options.

Ok. And one last question, as far as flashing stock gingerbread (or a diff stock ROM), what would be the best, safest package to try? I do not know my kernel version, and can't find out (as I can't boot)
My phone is the international version of sgs2, purchased in Germany, csc code DBT.
searching for stock gingerbread for my phone seems to come up with a bunch of different builds.
Thanks
KI4 seems to be the most recent in Intra's thread, so I'd go with that. Not that it makes a massive amount of difference tho.

Update:
Got a pc and got odin working. Flashed MultiCSC_OXA_I91000XXKI2.tar . rebooted and it tried to go into recovery mode then gave me a dead robot with a red exclamation point, which doesn't seem good.
Ideas?
UPDATE:
Nevermind, I just had to get the full firmware :
XWKI4
Firmware info
PDA:XWKI4
PHONE: XXKI1
Date: 14/09/2011
Android 2.3.4
for DBT (Germany). Flashed with Odin and I am back. Awesome. Thanks
I did say to get KI4 from Intratech's thread, didn't I ? Anywho, glad you got you phone working again

I was running The Unofficial rom and liked it. AT&T pushed out the new ICS rom and I wanted to try it. I installed it the way AT&T recommended and got that working. I decided I didn't like that and wanted to go back to The Unofficial. Only problem was, the phone was no longer rooted. I tried to go back and root it, but it didn't work. Now it's stuck on the "Samsung" screen and won't do anything. When using CWM, it won't let me load anything from the SD card. Says SD card is not installed. HELP!!!
Put it in download mode, open odin 1.85 on computer, flash the cwm .tar file on it. Go back into recovery and try to see if it can read your sd card. If all else fails, get into download mode on your phone and do the emergency recovery on Kies.

Phone doesn't need to be rooted to flash a ROM. All you needed to do was flash cwm and then flash your ROM of choice. What root method did you use?

I've tried so many different things in the last couple of days that I honestly don't know what all I have tried or not.
As for the emergency recovery, how do I do that? I saw something in KIES about that, but it was asking for some code that I don't have. And do you have a link to the CWM.tar?
Also, I had several ROM's installed on my SD card in the phone, but it won't show any of them when I boot the phone using the "both volume and power button" method. It also won't let me load any of my backups that I had on the SD card. It's almost like the SD card isn't being recognized now or something, although I can connect the phone to my PC laptop and get to all those files through file explorer on the PC. And yes, I'm new and don't have a great grasp on what I am doing. Thanks for the help though!
What I have working right now
Okay, here is the only thing I could find on here that I could actually get loaded to make the phone functional again:
SGH-I717UCLD2-1FB30D08F1D2B2AAAECF49D262E8E707 (from briefmobile.com)
I have it working on the phone, but I have yet to be able to install anything else. When I boot the phone into recovery (volume up+ volume down+ power), it won't give me an option to install from SD card. However I can go to "install update from external storage" and it shows the files on my SD card. If I try to select a .zip file to install a ROM, it says --install SD card ...
I don't know what is going on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. As for the KIES thing, when I try to update through there, it says I can't update my phone- I'm guessing because I have the wrong baseband version?
You don't have cwm...that is stock recovery.
here is a link to cwm touch, just click anywhere here and grab the Odin version
Once you flash that with Odin, then you should be able to fluah any zip you have.
I finally got it working.
Hey. I appreciate your guys' help but I never could get one of those methods working. Just in case anyone else had the same problem as me, here is where I found the solution that worked for my specific case. It worked the first time and is explained simply enough that even a beginner can figure it out.

Hello almighty XDA peoples.
I watched the video, I have lurked here for months. I read everything I could on my phone, but I feel like my dilemma is slightly different. If not I would be glad to rectify it.
I purchased an unlocked gt-i9100 in the UK. I now use a Tmobile sim in the US.
After a lot of reading, I rooted my phone using ODIN and CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LQ5-v5.6-CWM5 kernel.
I installed titanium backup, and used it. I put in ROM manager.
I decided I wanted to put a custom ROM on, but I read that a full wipe was necessary so I went into clockworkmod recovery. I followed all the instructions.
Now I can't boot into OS. I can get into both clockwordmod and download mode, but my computer wont recognize my phone so I can't put a zip file onto my sd card. (probably should have done that first huh)
All I want is a normal working phone. I will leave rooting to the professionals.
It was previously running 4.0.4 xxlq6.

Ouch.
Rather dont wipe with the Samsung 4.0.4 kernel they had the brickbug...
You can try reinstall the drivers on the PC for the phone and also make sure KIES is not running then try download mode again else
try take the sd card out of the phone and put it in the pc and copy the ROM on to the SD card that way then flash with CWM.
A SD card reader is cheaper then fixing the phone if you don't already have one....
I can still access download mode and CWM though. Is that a sign of life? I went a bought a micro sd card and have put the rom onto it, which hopefully I can access through CWM. WIll update soon.

Having read the thread about 4.0.4 being susceptible to bricking, I'm now wondering what to do.
I bought a microSD card and put the Resurrection remix zip on it. I can access that though CWM and it's allowing me to update. WOuld it be better to try to downgrade to gingerbread or an early ICS, or have I passed the point where my phone should be bricking? Thanks so much in advance.

Well firstly why did you use Rom Manager? Its not properley compatible with I9100 and can lead to issues like you have if you mess about and try to flash kernel through it.
If you can still access download mode simply flash stock via ODIN and then flash custom kernel like Siyah (version depends on rom version) to gain root, cwm etc.
Alternatively first flash Siyah (.tar version) via ODIN then flash your custom rom.

if you can access download/recovery your device is not bricked. Just do as I said above and flash kernel or rom via ODIN.
I guess sometimes reading doesn't equals learning.
Wait a sec, I already knew that. Reading whole threads intead of OP-only equals learning.

Hello,
I just purchased my new Galaxy S2 4G from Virgin Mobile. First thing I did was install USB drivers, root it, flash a new PDA and Bootloader from Odin.
Now when I try to boot my phone I get stuck on
"SAMSUNG SII
Yellow Triangle"
I can boot into download and Clock Work Mod recovery and I think I can utilize a external micro SD to recover from. However I can't flash anything else from Odin as drivers seem to be messed up. I have uninstalled, reinstalled Samsung and Sprint drivers, tried different USB slots and everything.
Although it may be a driver problem as the drivers now fail to update when installing them, as it says "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller - No Driver Found"
Anyway for me to force reinstall those drivers or something?
Could I get a stock recovery zip or whatever and put that on a micro SD then try?
Help please and thank you!!
EDIT:
Also, I have no recovery images saved to my SD card or anything like that.
EDIT2:
Kies is installed but none of it is running when I start Odin.
what method did you use to get root?
what is phone information?
we need this information inorder to help you.
If you can access CWM Recovery and you have an external SD card, i recommend moving a compatible Kernel/ROM from the computer to the external SD card. Then go to install Zip from sd card in CWM...and you should be good to go. Oh and remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache if necessary.
Consider fixing this bootloop before you try and fix the drivers. No phone, no recognition either way
Cheers.

To root I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Phone information? It is a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Virgin Mobile. What other info can I provide?
I have an external SD card but I don't think my phone can read files off of it as I get the
E: Can't mount /sdcard/
error
My biggest question though is what is a compatible Kernel/ROM? I don't want to accidentally flash another incompatible one.
Also if I did manage to fix the drivers I could use odin to flash the first root that I used because it worked. That would get me out of the boot loop right?
Thanks mate!
I did not know that even SGS2 4G doesn't belong here, but gastonw is probably right. You should write this in Epic 4G touch forum.
well you could tell me if it's a Gt-i9100 or SGH-i777 etc. You can tell me version... 4.x.x (ICS) | 2.x.x (GB) | 4.1.x (JB)
since there are a large variety of ROMs and Kernels this info could short them down and probably tell us and hopefully yourself if what you flashed is compatible.

Alright, I could make anothe thread in the Epid4G forum.
Also, the model is a SPH-D710, version was 4.04. Also that root I linked was the first one I used that worked.
These problems began when I flashed the CWM (I think) as a bootloader from ODIn and then another PDA.

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but after an afternoon of searching and trying things, I think I need to just ask for advice, since I don't know what I'm doing.
I have a rooted Tab 10.1 wifi with TWRP installed, but somehow managed to delete all ROMs and backups from it, and there is no ROM installed. Was I drunk? Perhaps. I thought I was cleaning house, but clearly screwed up. So I can boot to TWRP or Odin mode, but there's no OS, so it can't actually boot to Android.
I thought I'd just stick a ROM on it and flash that, so I ordered a USB cable to connect to my PC, but no dice. Installed the Samsung USB drivers, and it shows up as an Android device in the Device Manager, but I can't mount it to get access to its storage and copy over a ROM.
Is it possible to mount the storage and copy over a ROM under these circumstances? Or do I have to use Odin or something like that? I haven't used Odin much, but I seem to remember it doesn't work the same way as just flashing a ROM, and I'd need some other firmware file. Any advice would be appreciated!

I think that the easiest way is to flash a stock rom with Odin and start over from there. It's a bit time consuming but it works.
