So, I was trying to root my:
Samsung Galaxy S2
i9100g
(Not sure what Rom/ICS/Firmware it had before I tried rooting)
I tried flashing with Siyah Kernel to Root like I had previously done with another i9100, but in turn the S2 now sits at the black boot screen displaying "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100G" and will not go further.
I've read about 50 or so threads relating to the boot screen problem.
Yes, the device may reach Download mode, but not Recovery mode.
Any help would be extremely helpful.
Thank you.

Hey dude, in the first place u have flashed a wrong kernel on ur I9100G, since siyah doesnt support that model due to difference in hardware alltogether compared to I9100 international and its variants M/P/T.
Ur lucky since ur phone is able to go to Dwnld mode.
Just dwnld a stock firmware meant for I9100G ( u can dwnld the same from www.sammobile.com) and flash the same from Pc Odin to boot ur phone Normally and then try the link below to have a proper root of ur phone

Can you post your device info.
Eg: I9100 international version
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep, you're truly unique
Why not start with telling us your exact product and what happens when trying to get into both recovery and download modes.

problem description:
I turned on the device as soon as i bought it and it said 2.3.4

You need to download files to use for your specific phone and try again. You said you have a GT-I9100G, right? Well, where did you get the files you used to root?
You also said in the title of this post that you installed XXKI3. Well, installing XXKI3 and rooting are not the same thing. Which did you do? Root using an insecure kernel? Or install an XXKI3 firmware?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that you tried to flash a firmware intended for the regular GT-I9100, and not the GT-I9100G. These two phones have different hardware, so firmwares are NOT compatible.
Amirite?
first I tried to root it using insecure kernel...when it got stuck with galaxy s 2 logo screen with yellow triangle.... I searched all over the net for a solution and one of the solutions was is to flash xxki3 ....and I did that.... but it always fail.... I also tried to flash litening rom... but at the end...it fails at MODEM stage i believe....
Now all i want is to get my phone working....I dont wanna root it anymore....
please guys please help me
Stop flashing it.
You are doing more damage.
You have the 9100G, but you're flashing 9100 stuff
I am not flashing it anymore.... but I need a solution.... I want to know how can I get it back up and running
please help me

When you get the error, does it say failed red color? Of course not.
Tell us excactly the error you are getting! If you want our help give us all the information that you have.
What error message did you get? What are the steps you took?
Hi
My S3 is stuck on the initial screen that says Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300. It has been like that since I got up. If I press the on/off button nothing happens. If I press it for a long time it the screen goes of for about a second then the same screen appears. I tried taking the a battery out put it back in switched on and the same screen appears. When I connect the phone to my laptop my laptop does not recognise the phone.
Please help

Did you flash a rom from this forum? If so, your bricked.. This is the US version on Sprint (SPH-L710) Yours is the international version which can be found on this section here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563.
We get a few I9300 people in here and seems to be more often then not. Anything in here that is flashed my render your phone nothing more then a paperweight. Check the forums before flashing anything. (incase you did) Thank you and have a nice day.
Moved to I9300
Now that you have already flashed the wrong firmware.. Try the following..
If you have CWM... Flash any intended for your device.. Wipe data factory reset.. Try booting
If that is not working then..
Download the stock firmware.. Flash it using Odin.. Boot into recovery and do a factory reset... Then see if your device boots..
sent from here, there, somewhere!!
Stock ROM location?

Where can i find the stock rom for international GS-III? Honestly I have no idea where to find it. People say "download stock firmware" but they never put where it can be located. We need a firmware bible of some sort. Thanks if someone can help me out!

And how on earth do you expect anybody to be able to help you when you cant even be bothered to give any basic relevant information??
What SPECIFIC model do you have?
What SPECIFIC rom was you trying to flash?
What did ODIN log say, any errors etc?
If device is not powering on, booting into any modes then you may now need to get a motherboard replacement. Your only small life line is to possible try waking device up using a USB jig, however in most cases this will not work.
Have you removed battery, waited few mins and tried again?
Also, You're not the only person to ever do this, you should go read forum instead of creating new topics. Answers will be same.

Firstly some advice.. You need to use proper topic titles that briefly describe your topic, not silly generic meaningless ones like "help me".
The yellow triangle is normal as it means you have flashed new kernel. It can be removed by using "Triangle Away" app. You would have known this if you had used a simple search for "yellow triangle" on this forum. In future use search.
You cant use kies unless you have stock kernel/rom as far as I know.
"bricking" a device has nothing to do with yellow triangle or lack of kies connection. A bricked device is when it wont power on or you cant flash via recovery/download modes. This is caused if you wipe data/factory reset using stock recovery on Samsung/Android 4.0.4 or if you corrupt bootloader via a bad flash in ODIN or if battery runs out during flash etc.
I've flashed a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 phone, it was for an i9100g so my phone is hard-bricked. I'd like to hear any possible ways to make it work if possible.
Anyway I saw this topic and I'd like to know if that could work on my S2 phone(?)
PS: Sorry if it wasn't the correct place to ask such a question
I mean flashing an i9100g image on an i9100 is a bad thing to do, but I hardly doubt it's hard-bricked. Do you see the boot animation (samsung symbol) or do you get into download mode? If you get into download mode you can easily flash an image via Odin.
Iirc it's not that easy to brick an i9100.
Edit: This might help.
@NetDwarf It's hard-bricked already, I couldn't open the download mode or anything, it's a DEAD phone.

I saw that topic and I'd like to know if it could work with my S2, and if so can you get me the image file for it?
