[Q] Firmware upgrade encounter an isue ... - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
To ask for help from you, unfortunately, yesterday I tried to upgrade the firmware on my phone, but ...error. Since then, when I turn on my phone's display:
"Firmware upgrade encounter an isue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
(I tried the new samsung galaxy s2 official stock 4.1.2 rom on my phone to refresh with Odis 1.85, but it was not good probably the regional code did not much)
I can enter in download mode (volume down + home + power) and Odis program picks up the phone (com port is also yellow), but I do not know what settings you need to install in order to have clockwork mod, i have backup of the previous rom and you want to restore.
Or is there another way?
Sorry for the not so good english and thank you in advance for your help!

[Q] How to unbrick samsung galaxy s2

Having recently installed a miui rom, i found that my phone has become brocked. I can go to dwonload mode, and I can turn it on but there is only a blank screen. Does anyone know how to unbrick it?
Thanks
go into download mode open up ODIN and flash a stock ROM. Simple as that.
you should buy a jig to get download mode. Did you tried recovery mode ?

to get recovery get into download mode open Odin and flash CF-Root Kernel and then try to get into download mode that way.
I flashed the CF Root Kernel (XW_CLK_KF3), but it failed in Odin

onli flashing pda wont work i thinkk... you may need to repartition
go to http://androidflip.com/android-2-3-4-gingerbread-xxkg3-firmware-update-for-samsung-galaxy-s2/
flash it by repartitioning
download the package in it. it worked for me
Where can I find the stock ROM for a Bell Samsung GS2?

I have unbricked my phone but i can't access the android market, everytime time i open up the app it closes
my t-mobile galaxy s2 is dead after ICS upgrade failed
i am noobi. my galaxy s2 went through 2 stages before becoming dead.
1. i tried to flash I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar using odin. it got stuck in connection mode. then failed. when rebooted the phone, i got a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
2. now, odin still sees it. I tried different ROMs then the phone becomes dead. the phone is dead even after pressing the vol up+vol dn or any other key combination.
Now, windows 7 reports driver error when connecting the phone via usb. Linux sees the Qualcom modem, but heimdall failed to detect the phone. Any suggestion beside throwing my phone in trash is appreciated.
If you can't get into download mode (home/power/volume down), only thing you can try before you send it back to Samsung or get it JTAG repaired is a jig, which unfortunately is unlikely to work. Still worth a try tho.

3.Insert Battery
4.Hold the vol down butt and at the same time connect the Other side of the cable into the phone then you will see

Can you enter CWM recovery mode or did the bootloop happen because you flashed CWM with Odin?
it already bootloop, my friend said he just gaming and suddenly phone crash , off , and bootloop
i assume his not installed CWM yet.. since he said he did not do anything on his s3
i try to enter recovery mode , but it just keep comin back at "samsung galaxy s III , gt - i9300 "
i try to enter download mode , i can .. but when i use odin , it always fail to flash CWM.tar

Galaxy s2 upgrade encountered an issue

I tried to root my T Mobile Galaxy S2 using Odin method, and now i'm getting nothing but a screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I would happily follow those directions, but now Kies won't recognize my device?!?!? I also can not get back into download mode. I have no idea what to do. Is there anyone out there that can help?
and why would you flash a t-mobile device with i9100 rom????
obvious mistake
now get a JIG and pray...
@tulip: download mode should work... just press the keys a little longer...
try to flash back your old firmeware + kernel... had the same problem yesterday but it worked. afterwards you can do a cwm back-up

Go into recovery(power+volume up+home till i9100 logo appear). And do factory reset.wipe data.reboot and wait a few minutes.if that didnt work.re-flash your rom.
Let's go with the simple solution first
Google for dorimanx kernel and download the the dorimanx kernel 9.43 .tar file (make sure its .tar as its for odin)..
Make sure you have Odin 1.85 (as 1.85 is for galaxy s2)
Install kies from samsung website, if you already have kies skip this step
Now on your pc press (ctrl+alt+delete) and select "start task manager"
In the task manager go to "processes" tab and manually end two kies processes (as it interferes with odin)
now open odin and dont touch slash change any settings, just hit the "PDA" button and select the dorimanx kernel (.tar file) you downloaded
now over to your phone (make sure its powered off), press and hold volume down+home+power buttons at the same time and keep holding them until you see the GT-I9100 splash at which moment you let go of the buttons
the device should now enter download mode
now connect your s2 to pc via data cable and odin should recognize a com port being added..
flash the kernel
once odin says (success 1; failed 0 then removed) your phone will show GT-I9100 splash and then in a few seconds it will show dorimanx screen..
at this point, pull out your battery and reinsert it after pausing for a couple of seconds
now press and hold (volume up+home+power) buttons at the same time and keep holding them till you see GT-I9100 splash at which point let go of the buttons..
The phone will shbow dorimanx screen and then boot into recovery..
from this recovery flash wanamlite or any rom (NOT 4.4)..
I hope this helps..

My brother broke his i9100g and it's messed up. Help?

He tried to flash cyanogenmod 10.1.3 on his i9100g and now it has problems
1) when pressed power button, it will go to twrp
2) when pressed the recovery comb, it won't boot
3) when pressed the download comb, it won't boot
4) when charging or plugged to a computer, it will boot to twrp automatically
5) when in twrp, touch doesn't work. the screen won't detect touches
Now I have his phone with me. I'm using mac and I have heimdall, recovery-clockwork, cm-10.1.3 and gapps downloaded.

Hello
I think that it's an easy fix.First, download another rom and make sure that it's for the i9100g not the i9100, why don't you download stock rom i9100g and then use a usb cable to copy it to the s2 i9100g, but in order for it to appear on open mounts and storage (i'm not sure if it is the same in twrp),so copy the rom which is FOR the i9100g and then flash it.Everything should be ok

The problem is that it won't go pass twrp. It couldnt even go to download mode. AFAIK there isnt any way to copy the files to the phone via USB cable without the phone booted or in download mode. But if what I said is wrong, please do enlighten me.

There should be a mounts and storage option in twrp, click mount sd, connect usb and then copy the file needed for flashing.
or you could try to flash a rom via odin, download samsung stock 4.1.2 and put your phone into download mode (press power button+home+volume down) and then connect a usb to flash the rom.If you have any questions related to this please ask.If the rom is installed successfully but you get a bootloop boot into stock recovery and wipe cache partion and do a factory data reset.
but I take no responsibility if your phone gets bricked or damaged
Thanks

It sounds like it could be soft bricked - might happen if the wrong phone model software has been flashed. The only way around this I know of is to get hold of a USB Jig. Its worth a try before the repair shop!
