odin is working ,cwm mode is working and even downloading mode is working.
this problem happened after i flashed slim ics rom yesterday 29-4-2012 on my i9100. the main problem behind it is that i'm not able to factory reset the phone.
whenever i try to factory reset my phone in cwm mode or recovery mode,my phone hangs.
i can format my phone through system /format.
i can wipe cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats.

please guys tell me a way out..
if i flash a rom on my phone then binary count is not increasing but when i install a kernel then it increases. why so?
i can format ,mount ,unmount anything on phone but i cant format the user data or do a factory reset while doing that my phone hangs.
i even tried .PIT file with repartition ticked in the odin.

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .

i did that.

Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

Hi everyone,
First off I apologize if this is too stupid, but I am a complete newbie at this (yes, I watched the noob video before registering).
I rooted my galaxy s2 GT-I9100 using the Odin insecure kernel --> S2 root --> Odin secure kernel method. Then i installed CWM Rom manager. However it says that I do not have CWM Recovery on the phone, I cannot flash the ROM. So I downloaded recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip and flashed it to the phone using Odin. It shows PASSED but the phone was stuck at the boot-up screen with the yellow triangle.
I tried to flash the CF-root kernel onto the phone, which many said will solve the problem, however it seems the kernel for this phone "ZSLPE" is very rare (phone purchased in Hong Kong) and I cannot find anything with this particular kernel. Also, when I connect the phone via Odin and try to flash anything, it now gets stuck at "setting up connection", so i suppose even if i find the right kernel, it cannot be loaded onto the phone. Please help! I will be eternally grateful.

Download .tar (Odin version) version of Siyah kernel here: www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Flash the kernel via Odin.
Ps: asking questions, or even searching could have saved you all these mess because, ROOTING ICS doesn't really require flashing any kernel unlike gingerbread.

If you're on ICS you can flash siyah kernel for S2(the .tar file) and you'll get custom recovery and root at the same time. Kernel are usually universal you don't need to find the specific kernel for your rom. Only if you're using a 4.0.4 rom you have to use a 4.0.4 kernel same goes for the 4.0.3 because you're going to have bugs with the camera etc

Thanks a lot for the reply. I believe the phone was running on ICS 4.0.3. Can I still flash the Siyah kernel? Also it seems that when trying to flash anything with Odin, it gets stuck at "setting up connection" stage and does not proceed.

I exited Kies, so yes I don't think it's running. Plus Odin was able to flash the CWM recovery onto the phone right before it got stuck at the yellow sign. After that it stopped working.
Should I flash the latest version of Siyah (v4.1.4) instead of the one you suggested?
Thanks again

So please help me solve my problem, how can i make it work?
Boot into recovery (Turn phone off. Then hold home/power/volume up) & do a wipe/factory reset. Or if you have a recent backup (or any backup) restore that from recovery. I've done this a couple of times over the past few mths when my phone has spontaneously bootlooped.

In that case flash any stock rom you like. I gather you'll be going back to a custom rom pretty quickly in any case (?) so it doesn't matter. Whatever you do tho, do not flash a PIT.

All I can do is download a rom which is in zip format, but i know odin does not support .zip but it supports .tar, so how can i download rom in .tar, also does it matter if I flashed the rom which is not meant for my region?(I mean I dont know my phone's PDA and I am not able to decide which firmware to download since every firmware has its own specific PDA)... Yes, I'll be going back again to custom rom after I make it work...haha
AFAIK a rom for another country wont break your phone, but be careful with 4.0.4 roms because of the brickbug

He means don't do a wipe/factory reset from recovery while you're running that kernel. Once you switch to a custom kernel you can relax tho.

Parameter is incorrect error can be caused by either of two reasons
1 . something is wrong with the file you downloaded try re downloading
2.Kies is interfering with Odin, terminate Kies from the background by using the task manager.

First, I want to say sorry because this question has been asked many times. Though I have done searches on the Internet and came across some solutions, I still don't understand how to solve it.
Anyway, here's the story: my brother just bought a galaxy S2 (I9100) and decided to root it via ODIN. However, he mistakenly flashed his phone with a firmware for I9100G. He then tried to flash again with a custom kernel for I9100, but the phone always freezes at the startup screen (with that yellow triangle). So that's 2 custom kernel at the same time.Then I tried to flash the phone with a stock kernel. This time, there is no yellow triangle at the startup screen, but the phone still freezes there. I can still access to the Recovery and Download mode, but have no idea what to do next. Please help me. Thank you
If you can access Recovery, try to wipe data/cache and Dalvik cache. And try flashing a custom kernel after that with the compatible zip file through recovery. I recommend Siyah.
But don't do this with 4.0.4 stock recovery, cause then you will be bricked.
Cheers.

Wait, if I recall correctly, then the phone's version is 4.0.4 before the rooting attempt. So what you mean is that I shouldn't wipe cache with the version 4.0.4 or I shouldn't flash kernel with that version ? Because if it is the latter problem, I can go around and flash through download mode. Anyway, thanks for the advice

You've managed to flash the right official firmware with Odin? Just make sure you don't perform any wipe with stock kernel (in stock recovery) from 4.0.4, all other kernels will be safe.

Yes, I managed to flash the official kernel with ODIN after flashing the 2 custom kernels mentioned.
So, now if I want to wipe, I'll have to re-flash my S2 with a custom kernel right ? assume that works and everything is wiped, will the S2 be able to work again ? Or do I have to do something else ?
Did ur bro make a backup before flashing ?
I had a stuck on logo prob and the only way I could fix it was by loading my backup. wipes or flashing other kernels would not fix for me.
I have read others with similar or boot loop issues caused by kernel and fixed the same way.
if u don't have a backup I don't know, maybe research soft brick fixes. good luck.

Just flash official firmware through Odin. No need to restore back ups or flashing other kernels.
Afterwards root it again and flash a custom rom.

Ok before we start, I have looked and tried everything I can find so I will post what I have done after I post my issue. (I know I'm new but I've been using this site a lot lately I just never signed up)
Alright.
My S2 gt-i9100 running ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB
I can root it with cf mod, no problem and confirmed that the root is working properly.
I use CWM recovery. Every single time I've tried to flashboot a custome rom, from Res Remix to straight up cm10 to other jelly bean mods, all the "top" mods suggested in articles, though it says successful, It always, always gets stuck on the Galaxy s2 screen with the yellow triangle. It does not go black, it just stays on that screen, I've left it for as long as 2 hours and it does not do anything and does not let me back into recovery mode. (download mode yes)
I have, multiple times, re-installed stock rom, re-rooted etc...
cleared cache and davik cache, factory reset and format system (prior to flashing the custome roms and sometimes right after as some suggest)
I even tried a complete wipe of the sd card, system, then reflashed stock rom. It always works to return to stock rom and to root it, but nothing else. It seems every solution I find on this site, and many others are point to the above things I have tried all with a slight variety. I have tried many different custom roms,
I'm lost what to do next? I can't find any other information, my binary count is up to 18 now and none of it has worked.

ohh, yes the Siyah kernel, I failed to mention that i tried rooting using the siyah kernel early on and it would get stuck on the boot screen and even ICS wouldn't work. now on the other hand, this was one of my early attempts and i've tried everything else twice so I will try this option again and get back thanks
I have now tried to boot kernel Siyah 5.0.1 twice and it gets stuck on the kernel boot screen after the samsung s2 screen (the one with the yellow triangle) The screen is a ying-yang symbol with pink/purple lighting. I have left it on for 10 minutes and it stays on that screen. I have removed the battery and put it back in and now it doesn't even get past the s2 bootup screen, I left it for a couple minutes, still nothing. Reboot the phone again and now it's in Kernel Panic Upload Mode... Going back to stock rom. I'll try to find a 4.1.5 siyah kernel and try that one and see if it does anything different.

2) use the tar file of siyah kernel v4.1.5 or 5.0.1 to root ur phone vide Odin.
3) now use the siyah kernel v4.1.5/5.0.1 recovery to flash any custom rom of ur choice by fallowing the install instruction of the same carefully

Alright, after what happened in the previous message, I have download siyah kernel 4.1.5 and have attempted to flash via odin to root my phone. It did not work either, same issue as 5.0.1. back to stock rom/rooted with cf-root

Just tried dorimanx version 7.50, gets stuck on the bootlogo screen, similar to what siyah was doing.
edit: Also tried dorimanx 8.1, same thing.
Edit: Tried dorimanx 8.3, flashed through cwm recovery this time, still does the same thing

And don't forget to go in recovery mode and wipe out the dalvik memory under advanced. After wiping dalvik/clearing user data and formatting your phone, reinstall the rom of your choice (that's compatible with the phone)
you can also install siyah 6 and flash kitkat directly from recovery.
Then it would use kitkats kernel and bootup the rom
thank you guys for your replys. i will try what you suggested and get back to you
