Failed rooting Galaxy S II with Odin - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried rooting stock 4.0.4 Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 (XXLQ6, with emmc brickbug) to Siyah kernel: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/10/06/siyahkernel-s3-v1-7beta1/
This is the result:
Code:

What should I do?
Now I have this too http://i.imgur.com/ihUvz.jpg

You can root using the method in my sig.
And when youve done that use root explore to create "keystr" file in efs/imei folder..,... to get rid of service box.
Flash siyah and sort out your csc also.

just flash siyah 4.1.5 tar on odin 1.85 as PDA

It failed because you are trying to flash an S3 Kernel! Download Siyah v4.1.5 for the S2 and flash that.
Should work fine.
And remember, when flashing, especially with Odin, double check everything.
If this was a ROM you could have bricked your phone.

Hope you get it sorted

AFAIK that stock firmware is meant for I9100 not the I9100G
ps- if u install any rom/kernel meant for I9100 and its variants like M/P/T on ur I9100G u will hardbrick ur phone for sure, since I9100G is very diff from the above ones in Hardware
You're lucky youre only in a boot loop coz that sounds like an i9100 ROM not i9100G. As long as Odin is detecting your phone you should be able to flash a stock ROM for the G variant.

"edit": i can also get it to boot normally now, it then shows a yellow triangle with exclamation mark (soo sorry for bad spelling, i'm trying my very best)
The yellow triangle isn't a problem. Doesn't mean theres any problem with the phone. Only there as a visual indicator that the phone has been flashed. If it bothers you, search for chainfire's "triangle away" app.
Edit:
If you're unable to install cyanogenmod you can try this..
-first ensure you're on ICS and not on GB.
-download the tar version of siyah kernel for the S2.
install it via Odin..steps similar to what you used to install cf.
once you've flashed siyah, you should have root access and cwm recovery. Now you can install CM or any other custom rom.

great!!!!! that kernel works like a charm....
only problem is, i can't get into the cwm recovery....
ps the yellow triangle wasn't the one under "samsung", it had something to do with an faulty upgrade and that you should reconnect to keis.... anyway, thats fixed now... thx a lot

Can't you get into recovery using the vol up+ home+ power button combo?
It takes some getting used to..most custom ROMs provide the option to go directly into rcovery from the power menu itself.
Don't you have the CWM app? Can gt into recovery mode through that too.

Stuck on Samsung Boot Screen, ODIN fails

Just noticed my phone was on the Samsung boot screen, it was just sitting on my desk I wasn't even using it.
The phone was only rooted via Odin about a month ago, using a stock 4.1.1 rom (Norway, Telenor)
I managed to get into the Odin mode so I can try ans re-flash the stock rom hoping this may fix it.
I could only find this ROM (which is a norway telenor 4.04 rom)
I9300XXBLFB_I9300TENBLF1_I9300XXLFB_HOME.tar.md5
My question is about why Odin fails, here is the message;

Flash the stock FW from sammobile and leave all the ODIN checkmarks as it.

Are you blind ??
Stock wont do, Darky will!
Get CWM again do this>
*Installation
1. Download Odin3 and CF-Root-SGS3-vxx.zip
2. Power off your phone
3. Boot into download mod (Press vol down + Home + Power on)
4. Unzip CF-Root-SGS3-vxx.zip. You need to end up with a .tar file, dont extract .tar file.
5. Open Odin
6. Select PDA as CF-Root-SGS3-vxx.tar
7. Connect the phone to your computer
8. Make sure that re-partition is not ticked
9. Click Start Button
10. Wait for phone to reboot.
Now you successfully installed CWM + Super User + CWM Manager.

Try Odin v.3.07
dont work
Not sure but think , its possible a corrupted emmc !
But flashing a wrong pit file could make things even worse - lets investigate a bit more ?
Try latest odin 3.07
Btw: its a long shot but try flashing whitout external sd - remove it first
same result with Odin 3.07, no PIT partition...
so I found 3 PIT files.
GT-I9300_mx_20120220
GT-I9300_mx_20120322
GT-I9300_mx_20120329
alas none work, ODIN 3.07 just hangs on <ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
this happens if i select any .tar file (CWM or Sammy Firmware) with the PIT file, or Just the PIT file on its own....
its dead Jim....

Heey mate,
I have the same as you,no pit.
The emmc is burned.
I take it to the repair center,and they told me it was the screen,cost 216 euros.
I say the screen is good it's the main board that's bad.
No warranty they say,f..k it.
Now I buy a main board from someone,100 euro.
Put it in and voila,it works.
Warranty samsung sucks.
Good luck.
Do you have the blue one.
It happens a lot with the blue ones.

with what excuse did they tell you no warrenty?
even if you flashed it they cant say no warrenty, a ok phone dosent burn emmc because of a flash, actually in eu theres a eu statement proven at court that says they cant say so, ill find the page for you, print that and throw that in their faces!
Searching is not really painful....have you tried it?
Follow the screenshots and use the Odin version included.
