I really need help, please don't ignore this thread.
I wanted to unroot my phone to send it to samsung service so that they repair my nearly defect mini-USB port.
I reseted the counter and removed the triangle successfully. Then, because I can't connect the phone to Odin on PC
I decided to install mobile Odin and unroot it by flashing a stock ROM. And now I am stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo without
recovery so that I atleast restore from a backup. I can't even connect the phone to Odin on PC.
please help me!!!
Can you still go to download mode? If you can, then please flash a stock firmware/rom right away.
If you can't enter download mode, then a USB jig might be of great use to you

Thanks for the quick reply.
I can enter download mode, but my problem is that odin won't recognize my phone on pc
because of the "nearly" defect usb-port, well that's what I think atleast :S
nobody wants to help me :/
As you're rooted you have CWM app right?
Can you open that and choose reboot in recovery?
Or maybe try flashing the firmware again.

My problem is that I can't even boot the phone.. I can only boot in download mode but the usb-port is damaged and odin won't recognize the phone... But if I send it to repair, the triangle is away and counter reseted, they must replace the usb-port and flash a firmware so they are not going to be able to see the phone rooted or am I wrong?

Is the USB port physically damaged for certain or are you missing the drivers off your PC for it to see your phone. If damaged how do you charge your phone?

Installing kies will install the drivers required for odin to work. Try it.

I just installed kies, went in download mode, I am still getting
the same error. It is a windows error reporting an unknown device.
That means the usb-port is damaged...
Samsung should take the same steps as I should have took? that means
they won't know if I my s2 has been rooted...

Mmmm not sure what steps a service centre will take to repair your phone. Perhaps your usb port has a bad connection as the pc knows something is connected to it, it just doesn't know what. Have you tried cleaning it gently with a toothbrush and a different usb cable?

Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry

Ok i will try that and get back to you
Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

the galaxy s2 just shows the standard downloading screen with my binary count number etc as it normally would, but odin dosent pick it up, dosent show any sign of contact to the device, even windos says the device is malfunctioned, its an old dell with windows xp
recently i norice that my SGS2 can't do nything via usb. i get into download mod but COM Port not detect in Odin. I try to unroot super one click but not detect my phone. Samsung Kie also not connected. I try to change many PC and Laptop and install/reinstall driver and kie many time but still same.I worry that future if my phone get problem with recent rom how can I flash new rom? Please kindly guide me...
For now your only option may be to flash via CWM.
Seems like you either have a faulty charging port or it could be dirty. Try cleaning it and see if it helps. I had a similar problem with my S1 but it fixed itself after I left it on charge for a long time.

Dial: *#*#7284#*#* or just *#7284# and make sure USB is set to PDA and not MODEM.
If that doesn't work, try re-installing the drivers.
Hi guys, i hope you can help me.
So i was on Resurrection 2.1 rom, and my phone wasn't charging properly. That's why i decided to flash the stock ICS rom from Samsung.
I flashed it with Odin, and when it said "Passed" i lifted up my SGS 2 and Odin said "Fail".
Also my 32gb micro sd card broke. When i connect it to my pc, my pc laggs and the card is not recognised.
Now when i try to boot my phone there is a computer connected to the phone with a big yellow triangle.
It says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I couldn't flash again with odin because it is detected as an unknown device and not as Samsung device.
I could not find the recovery mode in Kies..
I really hope u can help me with my phone and sdcard issue.
I suggest trying a usb jig to force it to download mode or send it to samsung service center buddy. I have read a problem similar to this and they sent it to samsung service center, dunno if they recovered it them selves.

Try uninstalling and reinstall kies. If it does not work try different usb ports. It worked for me. I used one port then after that i tried using the same port but it didn't recognize it anymore. I tried a different port and it did get recognized eventually. Try the different usb port first.

Hi, I don't know if anyone still reads this thread but I my SGS2 is also bricked and I can't seem to find a solution. I was trying to flash the latest resurection rom up from 4.0.3 and during the final reboot it went dark and never cam back. The computer recognizes a usb device being plugged in but does not recognize the drivers. I've tried different USB ports to no avail. Because it won't recognize it I can't get it into download mode which means I can't unbrick it. Any ideas? Thanx!
how i want to fix this matter ? help me guys. " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
As @sriram231092 said correctly you have to stop ALL of kies related processes.
The kies is important so your OS will have the required drivers so the device could be recognized.
After installing kies, make sure you do a reboot and then, just before you start ODIN close all the kies related processes.
I also suggest you run ODIN as admin if you're running win 7 or above.

Try to restart your pc/laptop? Take out the usb cable, restart windows, stop kies, start odin, plug in usb and it should say added.
Ps: you only needed kies to install your phone drivers, so make sure it has installed the drivers, you can check by normally starting your phone, plug in usb and see a popup msg.
