S2 doesent start after Stock Update - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a very big Problem. I was using SuperNexus ROM for my GS2 but because the system crashed sometimes and it was pretty unstable I wanted to go back to Stock ROM. So I downloaded the latest ROM for my GS2 from this site, the Official ROMs the newest one from Nordic Countries. Everything was fine and I also unpacked the zip and had the .tar.md5 so I opened the newest Version of Odin which was also attached to the Thread at the bottom and connected the device normally everything worked fine with no problems. Well I put the file in the PDA field and I checked Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and clicked Start. It flashed everything normally with no Problem also it said at the end Success but then my phone rebooted and now it only shows me the Samsung Galaxy S II logo and it cant go any further I also cant get anymore in the Flash Menu with Volume Down + Home + Power what should I do???
Kind regards
alexj

*Fixed* I took out the battery for 5 Minutes and tried Download Mode again and then I flashed it again. Now it works perfect

[Q] Stuck on boot-up

I was restoring a ROM backup from a couple of days ago, when I rebooted my device it is not stuck on the black screen with 'Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1' written on it. I can gain access to the volume down + power button menu but I really don't know what to do, I have tried to wipe the data but that didn't work. Should I try to install another ROM or something? Please help, I got this tablet for Christmas and I'd be in serious trouble if it's broken after 1 month..
By the way, I am using the 3g model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
I also forgot to mention that I tried to install the Overcome custom ROM earlier, I didn't think it was done properly so that's when I reinstalled ROM manager (installation wiped all my other data but I had it backed up on Titanium) and that's when I tried to use ROM Manager to try and get everything back to normal. Everything seemed to work fine until I restored the ROM and did a reboot.
Nobody has an answer? Please, I really need this
Use Odin flash a stock Rom for your device.

[Q] Freezing Issues When WIFI Is On

Hey guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 with a custom LPU rom (with speedmod kernel).
My phone freezes when I update apps using google store and when I watch videos on youtube's app (both when WIFI is on).
Sometimes, it also freezes when I just turn WIFI on.
The phone freezes for about half a minute and then it goes back to home screen.
What can I do?
Do you thing it's a rom related problem?
Thanks!

Hi!
It could be a ROM related problem.. what particular custom ROM are you on? I doubt it's a Kernel related problem, there's still a possibility..
1. try wiping dalvik cache/ caches / better yet restore factory settings, if it doesn't work..
I suggest you flash back to stock firmware to get it all sorted out and from there, you can start all over..
I hope this helps, cheers
This is a translated ROM (based on this) that includes some mods
The problem has started a week after flashing this rom.
I tried wiping dalvik cache / caches, but google store still makes my phone freeze.
Can you detail more about flashing back to stock firmware?

Stuck at the DOWNLOAD mode while the USB Connection Not Working

Hi. I have an i9100 Samsung Galaxy S II. After purchasing, I flashed and installed a custom ROM on it (CYANOGEN) and everything was working perfectly.
Suddenly, USB stopped working as a media (it is working just for charging). It was strange because whenever I connect this specific phone to a NEW computer, it sees it for a few seconds then back to unrecognizing it. I though this could be a SW issue, I installed a new custom ROM (cant remember its name) but the same problem persisted.
Recently, I decided to revert to the official Samsung ROM (obtained from sammobile). I first tried this on another i9100 device (which did not have any problem), and everything went smooth.
When I tried to do the same to my faulty device, ODIN recognized it (surprisingly), and when I started the process, it wiped my device, and afterwards it stopped recognizing the USB port (again!!!).
Now I'm stock at the Download Mode, but no computer can see the phone to install the ROM (installing any ROM at this stage would be great )
Could anyone please advise if there is anything I could do to get out of this trouble?
Thanks

[Q] Cannot check if update is available when I recovered phone to original

Hello,
recently I downloaded a Glamour S4 and installed it. Also I downloaded, what is propably obvious, CWM. I used it for some time, but didn't like bacause of many bugs and limitations. I tried to download other rom, Project Chaos, but what is driving me crazy I couldn't download it from mega.co.nz becauze it freezes all the time on 66 or 90%. So after two days of trying to download and having this issue I decided to go back to original. I did everything as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 but after finishing I realized that the software is branded by one of operators here in Poland, and it was freezing too long (about 30 minutes and samsung logo stayed still).
Fortunetly I had my backup from CWM. So what I did then was:
Installed CWM
backed up software
Installed original recovery
Set binary counter to default
Then I figured that root is still on my phone, so I choosed option in SU to fully unroot
Voila! Soft is smooth and as it was orginally. Status is original. Everything as it was before I changed any software, except one thing - I cannot check if there is a new update. I have internet connection, can access websites through wifi or mobile data etc., but when I check if there is new software, phone only shows "checking if there is new software" and progress bar, and it stays for 5, 10, 30... 60 minutes even, and nothing is happening...
It is annoying cause I wanted to back to fully original and wait for the official update, but right now something is wrong... Do anyone know, why?
Cheers!

[Q] S6 Edge keeps random rebooting after OTA update MM 6.0.1 update

Hey guys,
since 2-3 weeks i'm using the 6.0.1 official version which i got via OTA update (everything original on my phone, no root, no flashing any software) for my international S6 Edge.
First i noted havy battery drain and uninstalled a few apps. A weather widge forced the heacy battery drain and my phone worked fine.
Since 4 Days i have problems with random reboots. It started with some reboots a day and now it keeps rebooting after i unlocked sim card and want to use my phone. I managed to put my phone in flight mode and i were able to make a backup of my userdata via samsung smartswitch. I initialized the phone via the software and it flashed the newest version. After it finished it booted up and in the language selection screen it keeps rebooting.
I read about corrupted files due update from version 5.x to 6.0.1 and thought to wipe the phone and flash newest software via smartswitch would fix the problem but my phone is not usable anymore.
Maybe you have any advice for me?
Thanks for your further help!

Hi borth87
As it won't get worst, I suggest to flash a clean Stock version.
From SamMobile find the latest firmware for your device model.
After, for the download, I suggest you to use:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Just provide Model+Region and it will find you the newer firmware available. Please, before download, check the boxes: CRC32 & Decrypt
Flash the above using the lastest Odin v3.11.1
- Open Odin
- Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add the firmware file downloaed to AP / PDA
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Let us know your path.
Nice regards.

Will the flashing via odin touch the knox warranty?

Hi B
No. Just flashing Sammobile firmwares via ODIN will NOT trip knox.
Have fun.

I got back my phone from repair. They switched Mainboard and some minor parts.

Hi.
I has the same problem. I tried to flash all of firmwares (always STOCK), but it's failed with ODIN all times. Samsung Smart Switch PC software say system repair succesfull (with emergency update repair), but the problem keep joke with me.
Phone don't repond without charger. With PC connection, i don't allow to run restore mode, only ODIN mode. With Wall charger adapter, i allow to run restore mode, odin mode, safe system mode, normal system, but i wiped cache, i do factory reset, i rebooted in bootloader and rebooted system as normal. When i run system in normal mode, language selection show up, and when i press next, phone reboot. When i run system in safe mode, i can select my language, and i can connect to my WiFi, but after i press NEXT at wifi list, phone reboot.
So in safe mode i able to do more one step, but system keep rebooting. Charging screen show battery at 89-90% all times, system start updating battery status from 1% to 100% (1 percent/ 1.5 sec).
Some times red-green-blue-purple rows show at Samsung logo and i got bootloop. Like when i put off my battery from my old phone.
