[HELP] My SGS2 is Stuck in update

I have Korean Galaxy S2 (SHW-M250K). Last night i recieved an update message KI06 on kies. I started update.
But after downloading update in PC the update process stuck at 3% while flashing the phone. After an hour i removed cable and tried to do emergency update but it was still stuck at 3%.
I tried to flash KG5 with odin but it was also stuck at FSimage.I tried to download again.
Now my phone can go in download mode but PC cannot recogenize usb. and USB not recogenized message appear.
Please HElP what to do?
Is my phone bricked or there is some way to flash it.
Now my phone can go in download mode

Then you aren't bricked.
You'll need to reflash using Odin to what ever firmware you were using.
As long as you can access download mode you aren't bricked. It may be a little difficult to use odin if you never have.. But rest assured, you are not bricked.
I have ODIN mode on my phone but when i connect the USB cable to pc, my PC does not recogenize usb. and yellow pop up message of "USB not recogenized" appears. so i cannot flash it it with ODIN or Kies.
I have to solve this USB problem to proceed. Do you have any suggestion for this.

Ok
I am on my way to figure out driver problem.
But there is one more thing.
My orignal firmware was korean. But now after unsiccessfull Odin flash my Download mode Screen and "Firmware update failed" screen has changed to english version. Is there a possibility that Odin curropted my Phone modem .
Also one more thing.
I cannot charge my phone because whenever i connect usb or AC charger the computer and mobile icon with yellow mark appears.
modem has nothing to do with the language settings.
update may have changed the firmware, just go into settings, language and change it back.

Yes it can be changed but right now my phone cannot go past " Firmware upgrade encountered an error. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again" screen.
Also i cannot flash because windows is not detecting my Phone's modem correctly.
Windows does not need to see your modem to flash .
My orignal firmware was korean. But now after unsiccessfull Odin flash my Download mode Screen and "Firmware update failed" screen has changed to english version
Fairly simple answer you have flashed a non korean firmware .
What is this Odin mode on the phone is it Download mode ???
Stock Roms .and csc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I wonder if you have the right instructions to follow ??Or are you flashing a wrong firmware .
Personally i would take to a service centre and tell them Kies broke it .
jje
Ammm, you are flashing an incompatible rom on your phone
You should refer to the [SHW-M250*] Korean Galaxy SII M250S / M250K / M250L Users thread for advice on your phone, the firmwares posted in the link above would not work.
Be careful man

But right now i have only one problem

[Q] Urgent Help with Firmware upgrade

Hello Experts,
1) I have Samsung Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread 2.3.5.
2) I have opened Kies and it offered me firmware update to the PLE or something similar.
3) Kies downloaded the upgrade file and Samsung rebooted to the download mode.
It says "Downloading...Do not turn off the target..
I thought it should be for a while like 20 minutes or an hour. What can I do?
The phone is still connected to the PC and Kies is opened, but it can't connect to the device and it maybe logical - it's in the boot state.
Please guide me what to do, it's urgent.
Kies Help.
Kies firmware recovery tab.

MY galaxy s2 doesn't boot

My Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I1900 won't boot.
I tried to update to ICS with Kies which crashed, wherefore I unplugged the USB to start over.
Now my phone had no OS, and wouldn't respond to Kies anymore.
By mistake I flashed the downloaded original firmware into the bootloader section in Odin.
Now it just shows a screen that says Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
Next I tried to recover with Odin. I flashed another firmware, and the old bootloader and attached a PIT file which worked for me earlier.
I want to now how I can make it work again.

At the moment, can you get into download mode or CWM at all? If not, you will have to purchase a jig or worst case, a JTAG.

Yeah that means something happened during odin, did u have kies running? Try removing all traces of kies, then try again with odin, I ran into this exact same error with my s2 odin did a half flash because kies tried to connect during flash, if it doesnt work without kies then idk, my bet would be try removing all traces of kies ab then use odin, hope it works for u

[Q] Help for Frozen Galaxy S3 Please

My Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, 16GB (UK - Everything Everywhere network formerly T-Mobile) freezes on the flash screen that says "Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300" on boot up.
I can't get into the Recovery Menu. I can get into Download Mode. Phone has not been rooted, nor has it ever had a firmware upgrade before - I got it in September 2012 and am pretty sure its JellyBean so probably version 4.1.2.
I've tried all of the below using combinations of two different official Samsung USB cables and three different USB ports. I've also tried two different batteries but nothing works.
Tried Firmware upgrade via Kies - "This device's version cannot be updated"
Tried flashing stock ROM via Odin (I9300XXEMF1_I9300EVREMF1_I9300BVEMF1_HOME.tar.md5) - "There is no PIT partition"
Tried repartitioning via Odin (GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit) - "Get PIT for mapping" hangs on that for 30 mins or more ...
Is there anything more I can do? I'm guessing the PIT file is the wrong one as the date is prior to the release of JellyBean but I can't find any others for a 16GB S3.
Any help much appreciated!
