[q] urgent help needed.......

HI all members and fellow S2 experts.
I am quite new to android flashing and rooting.. and i have run into a problem and i really really need your help.Here is the story ....
I have stock rom 2.3.5 and cynagonmod7 in my phone.One day i made back up of my stock rom and went to recovery mode and changed to cynagon mod... I used cynagon for few days than made back up of it so that i can go back to stock rom.So i did back up it went fine.than i went to restore my stock rom and thats where the problem started.It didnt let me go back.
My phone does not turn on now.
When i try it just stays on the main screen where it says samsung galaxy s2 bla bla and that yellow triangle (indicating its rooted).
It does not go to recovery mode.
Once on charge it shows me the cell which appears when you charge your phone whilst it being off,it just shows me a empty cell and within that cell that rounded circle shaped icon not moving just as an icon.
And it lets me go to download mode but odin3-v1.85 does not recognise any device being connected or anything....
So basically i am doomed
I have tried taking battery out all sort of different combinations to reboot go to recovery mode all that but its just not happening and in download mode Odin does not detect my phone.
So i really dont know what to do.So can you please please please help and guide me how to get my phone back to life i really need to
Detailed answers would really help.Thanks for reading and please help me out.If any queries you can ask me.
Did you install the sg2 drivers in your computer? (you do this by installing the kies soft)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes i did installed all the driver.But at the moment i am on another laptop which does not have kies or any other driver for s2 but it still is not recognised..Laptop recognises something being connected to usb but it actually does not recognise any device or shows anything.
try to install kies it might be a driver issue

I HAVE DONE IT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Thanks alot guys it is exactly as you said.Installed kies in friends laptop went in download mode it installed the driver and than odin recognised the phone and put 2.3.5 again and done its working yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
You guys are star.THanks alot to all......
1- Try charging your phone for an hour or so (Just in case).
2- On that second laptop that recognizes something been connected to it, go to device manager and if you see any unknown usb device, delete it. Unplug your phone and plug it again (in download mode).
Good luck I hope this works
EDIT:
Glad to see you're up and running

Not actually true. It just needs to be a working micro USB cable. I use a generic micro USB cable (originally for a BlackBerry, I think) for all my flashing. Works fine.
this doesnt work guys, iv tried 3 different usb cables. nothing is happening it just wont connect. is it a way of installing a usb driver for my phone so it will reckonise my phone??
please help some one need help

Yes i tried all that with no luck i just cant get my phone connected to my laptoo if i could I
could unbrick
Check for Windoze updates if you're unable to get your PC & phone to recognise each other after trying the obvious (different USB ports, different cables, different versions of Odin, making sure Kies/its processes aren't running in Task Manager on PC. Try *all* of these).
This has solved the issue for a few people over the last week or so. Failing that, uninstall Kies from your PC, reboot, redownload it, reinstall it, reboot & try again.
If that doesn't work, try a different PC.

This method not required to connect your mobile to PC.
Just need external sdcard and ics based recovery
If you are ics recovery version , we can come from this issue.
1, download any ics ROM ( stock based ) and copy to your external sdcard.
2, root the mobile using this way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
3, as per the above guide once you flashed cwm.zip , you will get cwm based recovery screen.
4, wipe system and cache
5, install the custom ROM from external sdcard
I believe this method will work for you.
All the best

I believe it won't since he bricked his device and can't even start the phone.
Do what MistahBungle said + make sure that you install Kies first so that you have the proper drivers for Odin.
i have tried this methed. copied all the files on to the sd card, inserted back into the phone put into recovery but would not read external sd card only internal comes up????
That's nice.
Now have you tried the other suggestions that have been made ? If your phone & PC can't/won't recognise each other, you need to fix that first. Forget about CW not working. It's not relevant. You're not going to fix this without an Odin flash and making that happen should be your focus/priority.

I'm having the same issue today, i flashed the siyah kernel beta and now recovery doesn't work and phone stays on Samsung logo.
I can get into download mode but pc says unrecognised device . It was working fine a few days earlier.
Unfortunately my Samsung USB cable appears to have vanished too but I don't see why my other cable shouldn't work as long as it supports data? Maybe the cable is the issue though??
Might be. Try the (many) suggestions on the first page. Any one of those could be/resolve the problem. In addition to those suggestions, you can also try uninstalling Kies on your PC, rebooting, re-downloading it, reinstalling it, rebooting & then seeing if your PC & phone recognise each other.
But definitely try those other suggestions first.

This is definitely NOT a cable issue. I have the same problem, and i too was using Siyah. It's something with the kernel.

OK have had this problem, CWM is gone bye bye - bootloop, download recovery mode possible on phone but can't connect using Odin. Right??
See this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771
You will need all the files, make sure Keis is not messing with Odin so check to make sure it's not running on the PC.
Have had this happen to me - keep the files safe and you will fix pretty much any brick u manage to do. Mine was in CM9 - dropped and battery fell out had to do the full repair job to fix.

If you have a memory card slot in your laptop, couldn't you take it out of your phone, put it in laptop. Download stock 2.3.5 firmware put it Back in then reboot into recovery and flash? Just an idea. Hope you find a solution soon!

Galaxy S2 Connection Problems...PLEASE HELP!!!

Good day everyone. I had Galaxy S2 since i know my self,but I didnt met this kind of problem. 2 Days ago i wanned to flash a new ROM to my S2, and odin stuff messed up. After Rebooting I got the message Firmware update issue thingy. I can go to download mode thats no problem. The biggest problem here is that whenever i plug in my USB cable into my phone, the computer recognizes it and then throws it out. I plug in, i hear the sound buuuunnggg, I start Odin, Thick PDA, select the ROM, and click start and it doesnt even reaches to end with Cache I hear the sond boooonnggg and Odin says its Failed, (Phone Removed). And the phone isnt connected anymore. Can someone help me out please? I really dont know what to do.
Try cleaning phone port or try different cable/ usb port

[Q] USB fault

Hello,
I seem to have myself a faulty S2. It charges fine from the wall charger but when i plug in a data cable nothing happens and it isnt recognised by windows and nothing appears on screen. It doesn't even charge from USB unless I turn it off and start it up again with the USB cable already connected. I have tried multiple data cables and operating systems. In linux lsusb lists nothing, even when it's charging after being rebooted. It is a stock ROM and has no warrenty
It is model GT-I9100
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband I9100NEKI2
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKI8-CL616395
build GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
Does anyone know if this is a known fault or if there are any fixes before I open the thing up and try to clean the USB connector, probably breaking the phone in the process....
did you tried to put it in download mode and connect to pc? see if it's recognized. and if goes well flash a freshly stock ROM and see if it works
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
What crzr, said its most likely to be a software problem I had a friend who had the same problem (but it was working fine at first) he flashed it and everything is OK... Hope you get it working...
Using GT - I9100
I thank those who give helpful comments
Soft problem or broken csc. Flash rom again fixed this.

Thanks folks, I though it would be hardware. Flashing might be hard, its not recognised in download mode either. I can get into recovery. I suppose i could try and install mobile odin and see where that takes me.
OK it happened to me and the problem disappeared by reflashing stock ROM wiping all my data. but of course first I'd made a backup of all

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:

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

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.
