- i can get into recovery mode (normal recovery mode, not clockwork)
- i can get into download mode
- i am with Bell in Canada
Here's what lead to this error:
I updated the phone, through samsung kies to 4.0.3.
I followed this guide to root my phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I installed the jelly bean supernexus (i19100) rom but i forgot to wipe before doing it
after it installed, i wiped and it just stuck and rebooted and the phone wouldnt turn on
so, i used odin to flash the stock bell samsung rom and now the it gets stuck at the logo
Further research led me to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760107. Would it help? I have no idea what LQ5/LPM is.
I just want it to work I dont care what rom
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Nope, same thing, it gets stuck at Formatting data.... and then after a while (~7-10min) reboots and gets stuck at the logo.
I researched some more and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760107. But I don't know what LQ5, LPM is. Would it help?
LQ5 and LPM are the frimware versions ... From what I can tell, Jelly Bean SuperNexus ROM is LPX. Although the problem you describe and the problem the thread you linked sound pretty much the same, at this point I don't think that you have much to lose here.
Before you do, was Odin successfully able to flash the stock ROM on there, or did it fail? If you're not sure, try again and take note. If it was successful, it sounds like your problem might be slightly different from what is described in the linked thread you posted. If it wasn't, then I'd say you don't really have much to lose by trying it out. Your phone is currently useless, if you try the fix in that thread and it doesn't work, it's still useless and you're in the same place you are now... Although there is a small possibility that that place my be a little more permanent...

Yes, I flashed the stock ROM twice and Odin (v1.85) said it was succesful both times. I only set the PDA (with the rom) and left everything else (PIT, CSC, etc) blank and I made sure re-partition was unchecked.
Thanks for responding!
ok, now i cant get into recovery, it says in red text "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." There is a pic of a red android with a exclamation sign. I can boot into download mode but wheneever i try to flahs something from keys it gets stuck at setupconnection....

Just relax first of all you need a stock rom bro which have 4 files code , modem, csc & pit files
Just flash that rom there you govnow ur phone is unbricked
Yea but when I try to flash from odin, it gets stuck at SetupConnection...
Thanks for the helping, btw!
Ok, lol, now I can flash again. I have a question: to flash a PIT file (the one I found in OP) do you have to tick re-partition or leave it unchecked?
Also, I still cant wipe data (it gets stuck at:
formating /data....
for a looooooooooong time and then reboots.
I have a trouble the same with interioralligator. are you sovle it? Please for me a solution for this case. Thanks
Hi Guys,
I'm new to this Forum and very new to Android. I have the Galaxy S2 and while attempting to install Clock Work Mod, following the instructions from GalaxyS2Root, all of a sudden the phone locked up at the Samsung Galaxy S2 sceen with the yellow exclamation mark and that's as far as I got.
With great difficulty, I can get into the recovery screen, but I haven't got a clue, what I can do from here.
Is the phone recoverable, or have I just destroyed a brand new phone? I don't have a rom zip on my sd card, so I couldn't install a new rom from the card.
I have tried everything to get it going again, but I think the more things I try, the worse it gets. I think I have now wiped the existing rom off completely and wiped the caches, all because I was panicing.
I even thought of removing my sd card, putting it into my wifes Galaxy Ace and downloading a replacement rom to it and then try to install the new rom back to my phone.
But guys, I'm really panicing here and don't know what to do!!
Can anybody please help me out, or do I now throw a brand new phone into the garbage?
Thank You.............dixie (Help Please)

Just flash a new firmware via odin.It will be new again

Hello,
You could try downloading the rom required and install using odin.
You will need to make sure you get the right version for your phone and use odin to flash.
I've not done exactly what you have before I got into a simple boot loop and had to re flash. Live and learn I guess!

Thanks for your reply,
But how do I connect my phone to Odin and what menu should the phone be in, in the recovery mode?
Doesn't the phone have to be in the download mode?
I can only seem to get into the basic recovery mode, ie volume up + power + home keys.
Regards..............dixie.
Have you tried to get into download mode (volume down + home + power)?
You should be able to do that if you can get into recovery. Once in download mode, connect to your PC, start Odin and choose PDA, then select the tar that you have downloaded (it will be in zip form until you unpack it).
Read some threads about Odin/Download mode before you start and make sure you are happy to proceed.

O'k I did as you told me, but the first strange thing is, when I extract the zip file I get the following: boot.bin, cache, factory fs, hidden, modem.bin, param.lfs, Sbl.bin and zImage.............there is no exe type file!!!
However if I open odin, click on PDA and enter the whole zip file location and press start, everything goes ahead as planned.
I get a "Pass" and the phone restarts, I get the small tune and the blue moving lights on the screen, but then it just jams up, on the S Samsung Galaxy S2 screen. That's as far as the boot sequence goes.......frozen on the Galaxy S2 Screen!!
Any suggestions?
Regards......................dixie.
Pull out the battery, wait a few seconds replace and try to boot again. If that doesn't work, check you have the correct firmware to flash and try again with Odin.
Or have a look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Right, for starters you need to give relevant information if you expect accurate help otherwise you're going to end up screwing your device up.
Which model of S2 do you have?
Which rom do you have? (give link)
Which guide did you follow? (give link)
If you can get into cwm its just a case of "wipe data/factory reset" and then flash custom rom of your choice from sdcard. Just go into cwm>mounts&storage>mount USB (this will mount cards onto PC if connected) so once connected copy your rom across.
I recommend the new wannam lite rom if you want new samsung JB based rom.
If you want to flash via ODIN then you should only be flashing a .tar or .md5 file in PDA section. If your extracting a zip and you get all the files you mentioned in your above reply then you have wrong file.

O'k thank you for your reply and thank you to the others that replied.
I was using an incorrect rom to flash and an incomplete rom at that!
I downloaded a different rom, extracted the files and flashed with odin. Now I am up and running and have the phone back to full woking order.
That was pretty scarery stuff and I thought I had bricked the phone for ever, I guess a little knowledge is helpful but dangerous, if one isn't sure of what they are doing.
Thank you once again for your help, it was much appreciated. I'll contact you again no doubt, next time I create a stuff up.

Hi Guys, one last request. I would like to root the phone and after a considerable amount of reading/research, the root file that I require, seems impossible to find. When I do find it and download, the .rar file is empty except for a zImage file!!!
My phone is the Galaxy S2 i9100 running ICS 4.0.3 Baseband Version i9100XXLPQ Kernel Version 3.0.15-i9100XXLPQ-CL223505 Build Number IML74K.XXLPQ.
I bought this phone, while I was visiting China and it has been great, up until I managed to brick it by accident.
Anyway, I apparently need the CF Root for XXLPQ v5.4, which I have downloaded six times, from various sites and every time I extract, it's empty, except for an image file!!!
I live in Australia and use the Telstra Network.....should I change to a more suitable Firmware, or maybe a stable custom rom, or can someone give me a link, for the appropriate working CF Root file?
Much Appreciate and Thank You........dixie.
Ignore the above post guys, a little more reading and I found my mistake.
However, I am still interested in the suggestion of a Custom Rom, which would work successfully, on Australian Networks.
Cheers to All......dixie.

I'm still new myself here but i'm sure ur phone is already rooted from what u said above. When u boot into recovery does stock recovery load or CWM ? if anything other than stock Samsung recovery then your already rooted.
Also u dont need to unzip the rar file its ready as is.
If ur phone is actually not rooted by far the easiest method is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
u dont need an insecure kernel and theres no risk involved even if u mess up. I was a lil hesitant to root my phone but used that method and all went fine, now i've learned so much in the past 2 weeks i'm flashing other kernels and tried lots of roms.
Peace

Yes thanks for the reply. I discovered that I didn't have to extract the root file, as it was already a .tar (stupid me).
So now I have a rooted phone and the Official ICS version XXLPQ, which is working in Australia, but I have noticed, that most of the time the Network is showing "edge".
All I really have to find now, is a good, stable, custom rom, that will also work in Australia.
A couple of observations....
You don't need "a good stable custom rom that will also work in Australia". Region has nothing to do with how a rom performs/your experience with that rom. If you're having issues with connectivity/you're not happy with data speeds, flashing/trying other modems may help. I suggest you read through this thread, at various times people have discussed which modems have worked well with different carriers (particular modems seem to work well for most people using a particular carrier). You can then search for CWM flashable versions of these modems & test them out until you find one that gives you connectivity you're happy with.
The other observation is you're a bit lacking in the 'basics'. I highly recommend you take the time to read through the guides. Knowing the basics makes it less likely you'll bork your phone at some stage, and that you'll be able to solve any problems that come up in a methodical/logical way (as opposed to guessing).
........a bit!!!!!!

Hey guys,
I've spent the better half of 8 hours looking on multiple forums/downloading roms/attempting to flash my cousin's GT-I9300.
I attempted KIES update and emergency maintenance and they both start freezing.
I attemped odin with a multitude of roms with the model & serial given by kies (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3)
I've even downloading android commander to no avail.
I've successfully rooted and flashed my i747 multiple times so i'm somewhat familiar with the odin flash process, but this is a bit unsual.. and frustrating lol.
The phone is in reboot cycle (loops after the samsung logo animation), won't let me access recovery but will let me get into odin recovery.
Odin seems to have failed at every stock rom flash...
ANY help?

I assume with odin recovery you mean download mode? If so try to flash a stock ROM (maybe first a version that is from your region, you can find them on sammobile.com) via Odin and make sure that KIES is turned off (also from task manager, even better uninstall it). Do you have any error message showing up when you try to flash with Odin?
Try the flash again, and if it loops, try booting recovery and doing a reset......yes,I know you said you can't get into recovery, but just try after the flash
Also remember it can take a few minutes to boot after a flash, so be patient and give it a chance

Also what does the Odin log say/what stage is it failing at?

I've attempted to flash maybe 7-8 different roms. My cousin won the gt i9300 at a raffle overseas so thats why im unsure of what exact country it is. Is there a definitive way of finding which country exactly? I do know it was an unbranded rom and fully unlocked because he's been using it here (w/ straighttalk) for the past 6 months or so just fine i even flashed jellybean 4.1.1 when it was first released (via kies).
When I try to and get the version from kies it tells me (PDA:LLB / PHONE: LLA / CSC: LL3) but no country.. so idk if there's a definite way of finding this out. I'm downloading ICS rom and gonna try and roll back the rom as i've read some people did that and it worked.
Once i bring up download mode it says on the top (ODIN MODE) and binary download count YES (1 count) and rom as custom. I attempt to flash Odin it always fails right after system.img. never gets past i've tried to do multiple attempts(5-6) per rom but no luck yet. never gets past "downloading... do not turn off) phase.
thanks alot for the assistance guys!
CSC more or less tells you the country .
Overseas first question then is it actually I9300 look under the battery .

Model Number under battery says GT-I9300 same thing that's prompted during kies for emergency recovery.. which downloads but ends up not recognizing it. Odin flash on the other hand recongizes it when i plug it but keeps failing.
LL3 is from Pakistan http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=PAK#firmware
Try downloading any unbranded firmware cause it's pretty much it's the same thing. You can always change the csc after you flash your phone.
or Download the right firmware on the country on which you are right now.
Then follow the youtube guide here on how to properly flash it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610. You can just skip the unrooting part i guess.
EDIT:
Annandale is in UK right? On the 2nd link that i gave you the first firmware there is from UK so i think you can flash that one.

I had a similar problem, my phone just froze in the middle of a phone call, had to pull out battery, and when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't pass the second "SAMSUNG" logo, just stayed there forever, with the blue light (Official JB 4.1.2 - not rooted)... Anyway, after 3 days of trying, downloaded bunch of firmwares, but all of them gave me the infamous "Complete(Write) operation failed". This is how I MANAGED to revive my i9300 16Gb Int:
1.Open ODIN, load ONLY the pit file corresponding to your phone (In my case i9300 16Gb Int'l - GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit), check "Repartition" and "F.Reset Time" and hit "Start".
- If this step goes OK (All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0))
2. Click on the "Reset" button in Odin (or close and re-open it), in PDA select "recovery-cwm-touch-6.0.1.2-i9300.tar", make sure only "F.Reset Time" and "Auto Reboot" are checked, and flash it. If everything goes OK, you should now have CWM instead of Stock recovery.
3. Take any microSD card, any size, and put THIS file on the root of the microSD using a card reader or whatever you prefer - but be careful, copy the zip as it is - do not unzip it.
4. Insert the memory card in the phone, enter recovery*, and select "Install zip from External Storage" and choose the file you put on the root of the card (by the way, it's a 4.0.4 downgrade bootloader), it should flash in a second, the phone will restart, and that's it!
5. Download and flash 4.0.4 Stock FW using Odin (i used "I9300XXBLH1_OXEBLF1.zip"), everything should go OK, and the phone will be bootable again.
*(my phone didn't wanted to enter recovery the old fashioned way using 3-button combo, but i managed to enter recovery from charging mode, by connecting the charger on a switched off phone, and as soon it starts charging press Vol Up + Home + Power, and when the FIRST Logo (Galaxy S III GT-I9300) appears, let go of the power button, keep pressing the Vol Up + Home, and it enters recovery).
i was using:crying: neat rom until today , this morning i was using it simply looking through apps my phone got stuck and now its in a boot loop ....it does not load after the samsung i9100 appears. and i have flashed other stock roms but it is not working and when i do a wipe factory data it again stucks and i have to put the battery out.

seems like you are new on xda, so welcome buddy,
download a firmware from sammobile, you have to register yourself, before you can download anything, dont worry, its free. flash this one file via odin3 v3.04, drop the file to PDA, connect your phone with USB and go to download mode, start just everything from begin.
i have tried all the things but i cannot solve the problems
Have you tried flashing a different Kernet?
True, did you try a other kernel ? Dorimanx v8.34, its good, by my side, its perfect, not bugged etc. flash via odin

Do a full wipe. It will get you out of the boot loop (hopefully)
Why does it 'not work'? There's gotta be a reason. Does odin fail when it flashes? If so, click the link in my signature and follow those steps.
And you do have an i9100 right? If you do, flash JB leak using odin. Download it from samfirmware. Its a 3 part firmware, and will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.
i have tried all the things done flashing , stock and custom kernels and also the pit files but the behaviour is still the same ......
There"s no quick fix for this (other than buying a new phone) afraid you're here for the 'long haul'........
Look at @Hopper8 s guide for troubleshooting a failed Odin flash and follow it exactly (all steps) and repeat (all steps) as often as is necessary.........
......Unless you've done irreparable harm by flashing a pit file......

i think its hard .......because whin i press power button it does not shows any thing the cellphone becomes warm ,from the under side the sim area , but not too warm a mild one........ and i made the jig but accidently put 300 ohms instead of 300k ohm ......i have ruined it further more
hi, i flashed my galaxy s2 i777 to JB 4.1.2 with odin and when it restarted, it didnt recognize the sim card, then i checked and the IMEI an Baseband were gone, i have a screenshot with the IMEI it had, but i didnt backed EFS, i didnt even know that i had to, when flashing, its not the first time i flash, i had 4.0.3 then flashed to 4.1.2, and then i had a problem and flashed to 4.3 then it got stuck on rethink possible screen so i flashed back to 4.1.2, and now im without IMEI o BASEBAND, like this it doesnt recognize any sim card, please help, ive already searched in the forum but didnt find a working solution for me!
Thanks!

yes i did, twice, i used gsii repair too, it said that my phone was unlocked but nothing happened when restarted, i tried the method of erasing efs folder, copying, recopying, and all that, i use the command su chown 1001:radio /efs/.... but it says "no radio found". any idea why is that happening?, i need help with this!! and thanks.
PD: one question, i always see that everyone asks here to read the stickies, where are the stickies or what are they?, what i do is read the previous threads in search for an answer but i havent see the stickies.

Did you use a pit file and repartition during one of your flashes?

Sticky threads are at the top of each forum in the desktop version of the forum, and have a push pin icon on the left. On the mobile version of the forum, I think there is a separate tab for the sticky threads.

i didnt, altough, i wanted to, because i saw that it was the solution to a problem i had when flashing, but no, i didnt use the pit file nor repartition.

Well, I don't know exactly what you did to mess with the imei/efs. Without a backup, it's going to be difficult to recover from that problem. Frankly, I don't know enough about it to be of any help. I think I've read that you can get the phone working with a generic IMEI but you can't get the original IMEI back. But again, it's just speculation on my part. Maybe someone else who knows more will jump in.
when I had this issue I flashed with odin back to JB 4.1.2 stock and that seemed to fix it, don't know if it will be work for you but its worth looking into

i tried to downgrade to ics 4.0.3 but always fails with odin, i was looking into the version of the firmware by typing *#1234# and in it says:
PDA : 1777UCMD8
PHONE: Unknown
CSC: I777ATTMD8
is there any way to get the phone file, i see in odin that it has a phone option, so, i'd like to try and flash that file and see, any idea where to get it for JB 4.1.2?

my actual firmware is JB 4.1.2 so i cant go back to it since that's the one i have, and i've tried to downgrade to 4.0.3 wich is the rom it had when i bought it, but it always fails on factoryfs.img dont know why.

yes but regardless of you currently being on 4.1.2 you can still reflash the stock jb 4.1.2 firmware via odin, you can try redownloading the image file since you might have a case of a corrupted image.
I agree that you should attempt to flash stock ucmd8 again after re-downloading the file. You should flash the .tar.md5 version. Odin will check the md5 sum of the file before flashing and only flash it if it is not corrupt. You can find a download for it in the Download Repository. It's the very last item at the bottom.

Yes, i've reflashed several times jb4.1.2 but the imei is still unkown as well as the baseband.
Where do i get the image file so i can flash it? Or you mean the firmware?

By the image file, he means the firmware file. I put a link to the Download Repository in my last post, and it is also in my signature on every post. Did you download from there and try flashing that file? If not, please do that as your next step.

At this point, downgrading to 4.0.3 is probably not a solution. From all the information that you have posted so far, it appears that your phone either has a firmware issue such as corrupt memory, or a hardware issue such as damaged eMMC memory. It is also possible that a necessary step is being skipped, such as performing a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery. Although both myself and 4-2ndtwin have mentioned that you should do that, you have never specifically stated in any of your three threads that you followed our advice.
So first things first, have you performed a wipe data/factory reset from within recovery? Have you included this step with every attempt to flash a firmware through Odin3?

i now flashed to 4.0.4 and got stuck on rethink possible screen too, im almost giving up ._. nothing seems to work x_x.
Don't give up just yet. Try going all the way back to i777uckh7 firmware. If it doesn't boot. Power off, reboot recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. If successful, save ur EFS folder 1st, back it up with an app or Root Explorer, etc. Save it in a few places, external sdcard, pc. Then u could proceed to update to JB or wherever u r wanting to go.

I agree with 4-2ndtwin. Don't give up, and follow his suggestion.
In fact proceed according to the following sequence. If Step 1 solves the issue, stop there, otherwise proceed to step 2, and then if necessary step 3.
Step 1) 4-2ndtwin's suggestion. Download "I777UCKH7-CL503881 FULL tar.md5" from the section titled I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries. Flash with Odin3 v1.85 (preferred version). Perform wipe data/factory reset from within recovery.
Step 2) Download the Tar version of Siyah 2.6.14 Kernel. Flash it in PDA. Without ticking Re-Partitioning. Next repeat Step 1 above.
Step 3) Download the SBL Bootloader from the Download Repository. Flash it as PDA in ODIN, without ticking Re-Partitioning. (Please observe normal bootloader flashing caution.) Next repeat Step 2 above.
To recap the above for clarity:
Step 1 - I777UCKH7 full distribution --> wipe data/factory reset
Step 2 - SiyahKernel v2.6.14 --> I777UCKH7 full distribution --> wipe data/factory reset
Step 3 - Secondary Bootloader --> SiyahKernel v2.6.14 --> I777UCKH7 full distribution --> wipe data/factory reset
