[Q] can i fix my phone? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I tried rooting my phone using the CF-Root method. After rooting with odin, I cant get my phone to start up. It shows the Samsung logo with the yellow triangle below but after that the phone just goes off. I am still able to put my phone into download mode.
Can you please help?
Thankyou

Thanks man it works !!! (Y)
Does that mean I did something wrong in the rooting process for it to go into a boot loop?

Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.
Read carefully and be a little patience

If you need to claim warranty, you will just flash back your original firmware. It takes less than 10 minutes.
Now, you need to remove yellow triangle and reset binary counter after you are rooted.

[Q] Need help, sim disappeared and system strangely behaving

Hello, my first post here. In february I modified my phone (swedish) and it has all been working ok up until yesterday. Well actually for the last couple of weeks the battery has started running hot and draining fast. But yesterday the sim disappeared and I can get no connection, it even gets stuck when I put it in flight mode.
So I figured I should update things in the best way, but how to go about it. I used guides to get it done last time but I have forgotten most of that and I would be very grateful for help to proceed. I need a stable system only, no clocking etc.
Greetings/ Roger
My system today is as follows
Model number GT-I9100
Android version 2.3.6
Baseband version Unknown
Kernel version 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411

if ur rooting ur phone and trying to install a custom rom then there is no point in updating to the latest stock version
if u want to continue with stock, then its good to update it to the latest version
To clarify, I see a 4.0.4 for nordic countries at the same place where the 4.0.3 was. So would it be safe to upgrade it to 4.0.4 using Odin?Or is 4.0.4 a whole different matter? Cheers

no upgrading is not fullwipe, but in order to have stability u have to do a factory reset after upgrading
before doing factory reset u can backup ur phone with KIES

[Q] Bricked i9100?

Hi!
Yesterday I tried to flash miui rom on my i9100. But when it started to flash the text:
"System FORMAT" was show, and then the screen turned black and now I
cant start the phone, I cant get into CWM or download mode, it doesnt work with a jig either.
Is my phone totally bricked?
Nothing happens when I plug it into the computer, and the same thing when I try to charge it.

Unroot

Im getting bored on being on stock after trying my old SGS on Jellybean now.. It feels faster than my GSII that has 2 CORES! 1,2 ghz. Incredible what developers can do it's simply amazing.
One thing im getting really tired off and irritated is the sound when your battery is low
DY DY real loud im like SHUTUP before i throw you in the wall.
And can't even use the camera when low battery without 3rd party app.
Can i unroot the phone? So it gets exactly like before if i regret or phone breaks and warranty **** or something ( TEST OFFICIAL 4.1) I
And i heard if you upgraded to 4.0.4 and root it was dangerous and you couldn't get life on the phone just because you wiped data etc. even a USB Jig couldnt help. And a triangle were somewhere hmm.
Is it hard to unroot?
Is it worth rooting if im going to unroot to test official 4.1?
Sorry for swearing but i had a ******* bad day.. =)

DY DY real loud im like SHUTUP before i throw you in the wall.
And can't even use the camera when low battery without 3rd party app.
Can i unroot the phone? So it gets exactly like before if i regret or phone breaks and warranty **** or something ( TEST OFFICIAL 4.1) I
And i heard if you upgraded to 4.0.4 and root it was dangerous and you couldn't get life on the phone just because you wiped data etc. even a USB Jig couldnt help. And a triangle were somewhere hmm.
Is it hard to unroot?
Is it worth rooting if im going to unroot to test official 4.1?
Sorry for swearing but i had a ******* bad day.. =)

1. It's very easy to unroot
2. It's your phone, you can test whatever ROM you want
3. Yes, 4.0.4 stock firmware is dangerous after rooting but we know how to tame it.

I'm absolutely not going to stay on stock if i root 4.0.4 and flash 4.1.1 rom is that dangerous?
If yes, how to tame it?
Are you going to sell your gs2 or are you keeping it?

Yes, but because you are on Samsung's 4.0.4 firmware, I'll advise you to flash either Speedmod kernel or Siyah kernel via Odin.
Download the .tar Odin version of one of the kernels and flash via Odin
Speedmod kernel: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574218
Or
Siyah kernel: www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/09/08/siyahkernel-s2-v4-1/
Edit: I'm going to keep my Galaxy SII for a while

Dont let him worry you, the firmware itself is fine. The issue was a bug in kernel that was causing bricks after wiping data via recovery.
You simply flash a custom kernel like Siyah after flashing rom to get rid of problem.
Plenty of topics on how to root/flash roms.
Ok, is it just of flash the siyah tar and im rooted? was harder on S1
Will i have the triangle problem?
And which ODIN version do i need, where can i download it? Thanks for the help :fingers-crossed:

1. If you flash Siyah or Speedmod kernel .tar, you are rooted
2. You will have yellow triangle but you can remove it with Triangle away app by Chainfire:

3. Download Odin here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Flashing Guide is also there.
Just flash the kernel as PDA

So all i have to do is:
Put phone to download mode. open odin connect usb:
Put in SIYAH tar in PDA and im rooted? Just like that? You don't think i'll brick it? I must not flash CF-ROOT before i flash Siyah?
And must i delete the triangle? What happens if not?

Yes. You are rooted just like that.
You don't need to flash CF-ROOT kernel.

Nothing bad will happen but if your phone is still under warranty, then I'll advise you to remove.
Actually, there is no reason for you not to remove it, since there is an application that can do that for you.

Why not i mean isnt the warranty already gone if rooted &/ flashed rom?
What application?

If you want to claim warranty, you just flash your original firmware via Odin.
2.
Check post 14. I already posted the link to you
