[Q] Problems with OTA and Kies connection - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
today i got a notification for a new update(4.0.4) OTA. I tried it twice but it was always canceled. Detail: confiming update process>reboot>update screen with green android - at 1/4progress of the blue line: reboot> back at home screen->message: update failed. please try again with Kies or visit Samsung service center:
Ok...
Now I tried to connect my phone to Kies but this also didn't work. I got a message to check the USB-debugging mode but if it is on or off doesn't matter. I get no connection to Kies.
Background info:
- I did root by this CW-Tool were I don't need a PC
- I run TW
- I have this "No moar Power mod"
Does anybody has an idea how I can solve this update/connection problems?
I am happy for any help.
Please note that I am not so familar with all this rooting stuff. i did it mostly to control the permission of some apps.
TIA

1. First phone your present ROM and kernel details; Goto Settings -About phone, and post everything you see.
2. Read flashing tutorial here : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
3. Download the latest firmware for your country here: www.sammobile.com/firmware/
When you are done let me know

SGS2 stuck in orange triangle

Help!! My SGS2 is stuck on a screen with an orange triangle and excmamation mark between a cellphone and computer after a ROM flash attempt!
I can go to Downloading mode and Odin can detect my smartphone but i don't know what else to do...
Flash a full (different to whatever you were trying) ROM, problem solved.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yep, that's just a soft brick.
since you can access DL mode, just reflash with odin and normally problem solved
Haaa, thx all i fixed it! ^^
It took me 5 hours to find out what i had to do and find the stock Firmware tho...
But all fine now
Hello,
I've got the same problem but it seems I can't go into download mode. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
My SGS2 is not rooted and was on Android 2.3.3. Kies told me there was an update available to android 2.3.4 so I went for it.
But I'm really disappointed, now my phone is completety stuck on this screen with the phone...orange triangle with exclamation mark (warning)...PC.
EDIT : Samsung Kies proposes to do an emergency recovery, but in the end it also fails.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot before upgrading. See attachment.
Please help me.
kind regards,
Andrew

If your phone is not rooted, you still have your warranty, bring it back to the shop and ask for a new one
I bought it an amazon. But I'd prefer to have a solution right now instead of having to complain.
I continued my quest on the net... Apparently, a usb jig might take me out of this screen and back to the download mode. Can somebody confirm this?

One minus Did you follow the Kies recovery instructions .
One turn off and remove battery for a short period .
Two turn on
Three try recovery mode
Four try download mode ..
Five yes USB jig may enable you to get to download mode and from that you can flash a stock Samsung rom .
Six service centre

Thanks JJEgan. I'll try once more and let you know. Assuming that I am able to get in download mode, why should I use a stock kernel and not the normal firmware I had before? Sorry about my question, but this is all new for me.
A USB Jig should be standard equipment for anybody who flashes their Galaxy phone, IMO.

Download Odin, download stock ROM, use Windows Task Manager to kill any Kies-related processes. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash using Odin. Do not tick repartition and do not use the PIT file if the stock ROM comes with one.
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed to bring my SGS2 alive again step by step after that Kies broke it during the android upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4... Moreover, I am in the official 2.3.4 version now without using Kies!! ;-) Here's my story:
In the end, I was able leave the screen with the "phone..orange warning triangle..computer". and I was able to go in download mode without a usb jig. You have to press the 3 keys (volume down, home, and power on) quite a few seconds without releasing them. And then the download warning menu appears, press volume up to confirm that you want go go in download mode. And I was in "download mode'. Anyway, I will buy a jig ;-)
I tried once more the emergency recovery with samsung Kies without success. Failed.
Then with Odin I had problem. It was stuck at step "setup connection". Kies was not running and was not visible in the system tray. Though in the task manager, I still had 2 Kies* processes. Kiestrayagent.exe and another one starting with Kies and 4 letters (sorry I didn't write it down). I killed both processes. One step further... Then Odin was stuck on step complete(write) operation failed. Never found why. I tried several times, battery in and out again, without success. This was on a Win7 32bit. Latest Kies version.
In the end I installed Odin on another PC Win7 64bits. I had to install Kies also on it otherwise Win7 says "no driver found" when you plug in the usb cable of the SGS2. And on this computer, flashing with Odin worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all people who helped me + also thanks to this super forum where I could find the official firmware I needed after that Kies broke down my phone.

I rooted my S2 and youtube works just fine. So maybe we did something different. How did you root your phone? We need more information then just you blurting out that it does not work.
Try clearing cache for YouTube.

I had those steps (not 100% good Englisch, google translate)
-First turn your Galaxy S2 and start it in download mode (volume down + home + power button)
-You will get a warning screen, press volume up to continue.
Now connect your Galaxy S2 to your PC via a USB cable
Download now Odin and CF-Kernel and unpack them on your computer.
-Start now Odin. Bottom left you should see a yellow rectangle with a number. If not, then you need to install Samsung Kies download ones. After installation, Look at your phone back to your computer
-In Odin click now on PDA and select the file "CF-Root-v5.3-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ CWM5.tar" you have unpacked.
-Click on Start to begin.
Your phone will restart at the end of the process.
-After your phone reboots, you should check that the program is installed SuperSU.
(ps. Camara does also not work :crying: )

gs2 dead after root. please help

Hello. Wish i will find the solution to the problem here. I will show every detail i did, maybe something will help...
I wanted to upgrade the s2 (international) -stock and not rooted- from 4.0.3 to Omega v20.1 .. Therefore i tried to root it.
Downloaded odin 1.85
Downloaded CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5
Put the mobile on download mode > connected it > Opened Odin > chose the file > start
[/LIST]
The program worked and showed the passed signed and the mobile restarted
The mobile freeze here (as in the picture).. totally dead!! unless removing battery
tried the same process again with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5 and Siyah-s2-v6.0b5
Also tried Odin V1.7 , V3.04 and the same results ... total freeze
I cant enter the recovery mode -vol up , home, and power- . The mobile also freeze
Hope to fix it
You have a Samsung I9100G. you flashed a kernel for a I9100 without any letter... go search there to find the correct kernel for you.
PS : and btw Omega 20.1 won't work on your device cuz it's only available for I9100 devices :/
He`s right i had the same issue with the exact same symptoms i mixed up gt-i9100 with I9100G

Maybe you have connect on samsung application from phone with a account which is not the same account that you put on kies. I assume that is the problem.
