My friend had accidently bricked his sgs2-G but we managed to fix it.
We've installed stock ICS + root via odin but he's unable to flash an other rom.
Either the the phone stucks in the boot screen or it gets into a bootloop.
Even if we do every singel point in the installation instruction...
We already tried about 6 roms and they all don't want to work. What now???

Flash A stock rom, with all files: pit,pda,modem and csc, it should fix the problem!

Please remember that flashing .pit can be dangerous take peoples word for it at your own accord
You must flash a Stock with Odin using the LPH of Android 4.0.3. Know how to do this?
I don't know how but he solved the problem. Somehow he found a working rom.
Anyway we tried everything data/factory reset etc.. And he had a stock ICS. By the way I don't know how but he managed to brick so bad that the phone only booted in the emergency mode :silly:
At least he's unbricked it and now he's using the cMIUI 2.8.10 rom

Hello guys,
I would have not made this post without a reason! I have searched the froum and used google for over 2 days but dont have a solution for my problem that's why i opened the thread!
My SGS2 was on CyanogenMod 7 and i decided to try the leaked version of 4.0.3 (I9100XXKP8 to be exact) so i preformed a full backup via recovery!
After this i flashed 4.0.3 using ODIN and used it did a root on it and istalled CM9. I did this just to see the real difference between the 2 firmwares. Everything worked great i had no problems at all.
After i was finished playing around with the firmwares i decided to restore my CM7 backup! I had no problems booting into recovery and the restore worked fine! no errors or anything. After i selected to reboot my device i got a Kernel Panic and couldn't do anything!
So i flashed KI3 stock from sammobile and rooted it via CF and then again i tried to install CM7 which goes fine through the install no errors! when i select to reboot the phone i have the ''Samsung galaxy s2 screen'' in a reboot loop! I reflashed the phone again with KI3 and tried again i followed the instruction step by step including wiping data/factory reset and wiping cache the same thinghappens. I tried to restore the CM7 back which i made, the restore process goes through but i get a kernel panic! So i reflashed KI3 again i thought it could have been the bootloader... i got the old boot loader and flashed it but i keep getting the boot loop! The strange thing is i can flash CM9 and it works but CM7 will not install on my phone at all! I have tried flashing it 10 times in the last 2 days.
Can anyone help me fix this and get back to CM7 because i dont know what to do anymore my flash count went from 5 to 39 in the last 2 days!
Note: i have tried using recovery and RomManager neither of them work! Also tried Stable CM 7.1.0 and nightly builds!
Try this and then restore again:

Hi,
i have tried this now and i am still getting a reboot loop! So it dose not work at all :[
I'v had the same problem. It was solved by flashing the .pit file for cm7 with odin.
That is very strange. I assume that you did a factory reset after that procedure?

Yes i reset everything there was i did this whole guide step by step about 20 times tried everything! i even had help from the guys working on CM9. They couldn't help and told me to open a thread here :[
Well, the pit file is probably the best bet then. Good luck when you get it.
By the way I meant a factory reset after the kernel clean and restore.
Kernel clean -> restore -> factory reset.

I have tried this still no luck :[ Also tried previous back ups but the are not working either. I also tried to flash Villian rom 3 now and the only thing that happens it stays on ''Samsung Galaxy s2'' screen no reboot or anything for bout 10 min. tried to go into recovery but it isn't working :[ back to flashing KI3 again!
Which kernel were you using when you originally made that cm7 backup? Was it the stock cm7 kernel or perhaps siyah's? The kernel panics are probably due to using a cm9 kernel(recovery 5.5...) to restore a cm7 backup and then using cf-roots ki3 kernel(recovery 4.2...)to restore a cm7 backup. I'd try flashing siyah's kernel(recovery 5.0...) through odin and then try to restore that backup.
Hv u try flash the cm7 twice in cwm before u reboot?

Good point, the first install is usually quick, the 2nd one takes much longer and does the whole shebang.

Yes i have tried this about 10 times so far! I have read this on the Cyanogenmod forum but it didnt help : [
Re flashed 5.0.2.7 recovery and tried to do a restore. now the phone is stuck in a reboot loop again! So this dose not work either :[
Now i have also tried to do a fresh install of CM7 with the 5.0.2.7 recovery but it didn't work! I would be great full if anyone could help me!
Boot into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
goto mounts and storage > format system
install cm7 from sd card, then install it again right after
reboot
If this doesn't work throw the phone against the wall because this should work, unless flashing those bootloaders messed something up, or you flashed the wrong one.
as a last resort....
flash stock firmware.
flash cfroot kernel
try to flash cm again.
always works for me.

Hi there,
I had Cyanogenmod 7 installed on my unbranded Galaxy S2 up until yesterday where I got stuck in a never ending (or at least >30mins) bootloop on the Cyanogenmod splash screen.
Not having access to the internet at that point, I tried a few things including flashing a different kernel onto it using Odin, complete reset, and now it's stuck on the Galaxy S II splash screen.
It is still recognised when I connect it via USB, and can access the download mode and Android system recovery, but to be honest I have no idea how to proceed from here.
Have I bricked it?!
Thanks for any help.
Try flashing original Samsung stock firmware,I had this issue yesterday and only stock firmware resolved my problem.

Which firmware did you use? XXKI4 isn't working for me.
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

I get the stock recovery mode when I boot. I have flashed the two kernels I had saved on my laptop (the insecure and stock ones I used when rooting) through Odin and still get stuck at the Galaxy S II Boot screen...

Ok download mode it's good, flash stock GB ROM, than the wipe code, *2767*3855#
It should wipe now. After that flash the cfroot the newest one, don't have to be your version , when it reboots go to recovery, it will be new recovery now, 5. **
From there format system partition plus all other usual wipes.
Now go to download mode again and flash the stock GB or ICS ROM and wipe with code one last time. You should be fine now.

Try flashing the latest siyah kernel using ODIN.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
First off I know I shouldn't have done this before I was sure what I was doing, but I have done it.
I have used chainfires mobile odin pro to flash siyah's latest kernel to my rooted s3. i put the .tar on external sd. Opened mobile odin, opened file, and pressed flash. It said it's dangerous, I pressed continue and the phone immediatly rebooted, and is now stuck on boot loop.
I had never updated the phone from when it first came out, I just rooted and kept stock rom.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks in advance.
Try to boot into download mode if this works you can flash a stock or custom Rom and kernel through Odin ans it should fix your problem.
Or try to boot into recovery and flash a custom Rom, either way should fix the bootloop.

I would say you just need to flash the kernel if that's all you changed, the Rom should be fine.

You did something wrong, either flashed the wrong file for your phone model or a bad flash.
Try flashing a full stock firmware with Odin then factory reset, in recovery.

There is a version of auto root through ODIN that does indeed root the phone but doesn't install a recovery.
This is what I originally did when I first rooted my phone and I never needed it or wanted to install custom roms.
But when I did I flashed one through Rom Manager but I believe you can also flash one through ODIN
Recupero
because CF Autoroot do recuperro Samsung stocks, and then you have to redo the flesh of recovery.
