Hello,
I am new to the S2 forum. I have purchased the phone on Dec 04. It came with firmware version 4.0.4.
The PDA was I9100XWLPW and CSC was I9100ODDLPC.
After a week, I flashed the leaked JB firmware XXLSJ and used PhilZ cwm6 kernel to obtain root.
I was not having any problems until today.
I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!
Edit: Samsung service has replaced the mother board!!
Doing the pit partition has resulted in my phone getting bricked!!
So people new to the forum, never do it :laugh:
Hi,
You said you couldn't access download mode, but can you access CWM recovery?
If you can then, you should wipe data/factory set, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik-cahe. after that you should re-flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, maybe you should restore your CWM/Nandroid backup of your ROM before you flashed the JB leak XXLSJ, which in this case seems to be Stock ROM. (providing that you have backed it up in the first place)

HI,
today I wake up with the same problem.(Bug from the junary 1st???). I'm on Leak 4.1.2 too
Mi Galaxy sII don't charge the batery (loop from charge batery symbol) All the combination button don't wake up the phone.
The only thing seem working is the download mode. Don't try to connect to ODIN for the moment.
Any idea?

We already have plenty of topics about this why do you feel the need to create another? Your symptoms are no different to others and the answers are no different.
If you cant access download or recovery and cant power on then try a USB jig. If that doesnt work then you will need to take/send it for repair which will either be JTAG or complete mobo replacement.
Just because you create your own topic it doesnt mean answer is going to be any different.

I am sorry!! I am new to this forum and the phone being a recent purchase, i was very much desperate!!
I know the answer may not be different and the problem may not be new hence I've asked to guide me to the appropriate thread in my post!! No offence!!
Thanks for your reply. I will be taking the phone to Samsung Service tomorrow.

3 100k resistors + 1k resistor in series connected between 4 and 5 pins of a male usb end when plugged will get you into download mode in case of soft bricks .

In some of the posts, I've read that a JIG may not work on ICS based roms!!
Is this true?? Should I try a JIG first before I take the phone to Samsung Service??
I was on XXLSJ before the phone went dead!!

I had the same problem.. I could get into the download mode by:
1. Phone completely OFF state
2. Connect the USB cable to the phone and PC ( The battery charging indication has to come, atleast once )
3. Fire up ODIN
4. Get the phone into download mode ( Vol-down+home+Power ) while the phone is connected
5. The phone is now recognized by ODIN.
I could flash a kernel (tried siyah and Philz) but the phone was not booting.
While trying to flash Stock and XXLSJ, ODIN was getting failed at factoryfs.fs
After a few trys, the phone just went dead!!
Hope you can flash a firmware successfully :good:

You are misinterpreting what you read. What you're referring to is resetting the binary counter, and no it doesn't work on ICS bootloader however it still works for putting device into download mode (unless its bricked).

"Soft-brick" has absolutely no meaning, Your device is either "bricked" or it isnt. Its a made up term by n00bs when they cant get system to boot normally. Your devcie is only bricked when it wont power on or go into useable recovery+download modes. If you can simply use a jig or go directly into flashing a rom then your device is not bricked.
The "bricked" term is used far too loosely nowadays.

Your phone died? you kiding ?
I'm using the leak version of Sammobile since 3 weeks... Why do you think the phone make a bad reaction now? why now?
Ok, you try to flash OFW and don't result. and then you flash again the XXLSJ ? and the phone colaspe?
What kind of roms do i flash? OFM or CFW ? ICS or JB ?
Well if a can connect with ODIN of course
A quick question!!
Is it possible that the phone can be revived (put into download mode) using a JIG if it is not starting at all for any key combinations and it is not showing charging animation when plugged into a computer or a power source??

Yes its possible which is the reason we already mentioned to try it
It all depends on the actual base issue though as to whether it will work. Its worth a try either way though, They only cost £1-2 or you can make them yourself if you have the spare parts. (Don't ask how, Use search).
I have tried the JIG, but no luck!!
I have given the phone to Samsung Service.
Hope they fix it!!
Will they use JTAG or it has to be done somewhere else in case Samsung people refuse to do it??
They wouldn't refuse just act dumb tell something like you were updating firmware via kies and all of a sudden power went down and device bribed

Hi, so I was trying to follow this guide (I know that it's for I9305, but the procedure should work for I9300), but when I connect my phone to my PC, I get the message "USB device not recognized".
The devices manager lists the phone as "Unknown Device", the device status is "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)" and the hardware Id is "USB\CONFIG_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE".
I only have this problem when I put the phone in diagnostic mode ("RNDIS + DM + MODEM", "RMNET + DM + MODEM" or "DM + MODEM +ADB"). It works fine if I use the other modes.
I tried with various Samsung USB Driver versions (1.4.6, 1.5.09, 1.5.18 and 1.5.25) and roms (stock, omega and cyanogenmod, currently with stock 4.1.2), all with the same result. I'm using Windows 8 x64.
So, I wan't to use QPST but I can't, so any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more info just ask please.

Thanks so much, I didn't realize that my processor wasn't a Qualcomm.
Please, how did you solve this problem? I'm trying for hours and still is unknown device in diag mode! Help!
Unknown device (i9300 with 4.3 original rooted)
I'm in the same situation after I select: rmnet+dm+modem
Install and reinstall several version of usb driver, cable, port etc.. but when I select rmnet+dm+modem or option under my pc doesnt't install driver for it because it sees an unknown device
WHY?!?!?
Why are there no REAL helpful answers to these questions? Everyone is just saying "read this, or see that post..." but no real specific answers for fixes!!! I have been all over Google looking for a solution for this problem! I can get to the USBSettings menu on my 9300 by dialing *#0808#, but when I select RMNET+DM+MODEM, my computer no longer recognizes the device! Installing Samsung drivers did not help...my question is, does anyone know what drivers I need for Windows to recognize the phone?
Thanks!

You are looking for an instant easy answer to a varied and complex problem, made worse by people who don't read or understand before they break things.
This long dead thread you resurrected is a case in point, just read the first two posts to understand how a situation is made worse by impatience.
Please Really Help
Same exact problem I am having I just dont seem to get what to do now.
I have a NOTE 2

Hey Jmaher, did you ever get to solve this? Seems getting these RMNET+DM+MODEM Diagnostic usb settings recognized on PC COM Port is one hell of a job! Trying to get Note 3to work with QPST. Kindly respond bro...
I never did! I pretty much gave up. It was a customer's phone I was working on, so I just gave it back and told him we couldn't fix the issue.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
thought id through my thoughts and troubles into the bag ...
ive got a troublesome phone, is a I9300 (so the international version) had the s5 sensation rom on it..
went odd, wouldnt run/install any apps etc (errors out with -54 i think it was) then week or so passed (as not got round to fixing it as it stillworked as a phone)
and after it went through a stage of switched it self off...
the batt went flat, and then hung on samsung logo...
after trying to sort it out, reflashing a backup, and then back to original ODIN files etc .. still hung, but would go to download and recovery with many compliants ..
after goose chasing them, got it down to just complaining about the /EFS
so after trying to fix this one, an nowt worked, i formatted /efs ... and yeah ! all boots !
so ive now got a "blank" efs, but a booting phone ! (but no network)
ok so in pretty much 100% of all tutorials in fixing a imei/efs problem it stems on putting phone into "diag or diagnostic" mode
which EFS Pro will do for you, or you can *#0808#
BUT i to get the "unkown" device too ..
and like the posters here all other options of modes work/install, but the programs for imei repair etc need diag mode
and from what ive read (the posts linked on the first couple posts here, and whats actually in those links)
suggest that either to "take it for repair" or talks about imei repair progs in diag mode with CDMA qualcomm devices, and CDMA devices are US devices
so i am lead to believe that as the I9300 being international version, doesnt actually have a "DIAG" mode, only CDMA US versions ? ! ? is THIS what your all hinting at but not saying ???
so thus no drivers work for it, and thus "unkown device"
and the only way is for a appropriate "box" that im thinking emulates, or works like diag mode !?
is there a way to force/flash diag mode for international s3's ?
am i even correct in these assumptions ??!!

thers NOTHING about qualcomm, and what it is and what isnt in phones in any of the quoted links
or anything related to CDMA
but am i presuming right what i said above, that the international version doesnt "have" a " diag" mode due to the type of processor used ?

I couldn't find any diag mode that worked. I had to send my phone to a repair shop that charged me around 20 USD.
Also, QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool) works only for phones with a Qualcomm processor.
not qualcomm
Im stuck at RMNET+DM+MODEM "Device not recognized", seems i need the driver for it. what can be done if the device is not a qualcomm CPU?

volkan.akbulut gave the solution. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Enter Recovery Mode by holding Vol Up + Home + Power
Release the buttons when you see "Recovery booting" on the left-top corner.3. Use Vol Down button to select Enable cp logging and press Power
Now try to connect. Drivers will be installed.
Good luck.

Ok...first i need to know certain things...
1. Does you device boot into download mode??....if it does then it is not brick its only soft brick and can be revived....:fingers-crossed:
A device that is truly Bricked will not even turn on....it will simply not show anything on the screen...no matter what !!
So if your device boots into download mode then don't worry and don't lose hope...:good:
2. Tell me if it boots into recovery....??
if not ... then try to flash a recovery using odin....
if it does ... then first of all Wipe Data/Cache and Dalvik Cache
copy a rom on your sd card and flash it through the recovery... and then Wipe Data/Cache and Dalvik Cache again...
Let me know if anything helped ... and let me know other updates.... Hope things work for you...
Thanks

2) If those people are fixing it for you, why are you posting in this thread ?
Bottom line is, if the phone won't boot, you ain't fixing it.

Bottom line is, if the phone won't boot, you ain't fixing it.
The end.

i already said in my post if the people's who dont know about my problem should not reply in my thread,
Unfortunately you don't get that option on XDA, you put a thread up, anyone can reply (unless it's a development thread, which this isn't).
My earlier diagnoses of motherboard replacement or JTAG stand.

i needs help not a sadness..
Hye Guys
as per title, i read most of the solution ( i think so) in this forum, but none can solve mine,
because..
1) my original usb cable cant be detected by my pc so I cant use ODIN
2) the android recovery does not have "install zip from sd card" , so i cant flash cwm and root
so, my tab isnt rooted and I cant flash to a new rom due to above reason
This is all happened when I tried to factory reset from stock ICS..
please help me with a good solution

try to uninstall yours device drivers from pc. Do a fresh clean and reinstall em. After that if u can t link your device maybe you have a broken cable.
Anyway u aren y be able to see install to zip option because your device isn t rooted yet and u can do that using odin or twp as i know.
^ what he said...your main problem is getting your tab connected to PC. Either reinstall your drivers or use another cable. Once that's done, Odin flash cwm recovery and then only you can root and install custom ROMs.

1. Do you have correct driver installed ?
2. Did you try using it as OTG with your usb drive whether it connect as storage ?
3. If you can boot to recovery mode , you'll surely have the option "install zip from sd card" .Try look again into it.What's your recovery version ?
4. You can set your PC folder as Sharing samba and put your 10.1 root.zip into your sdcard.Install es explorer and copy the file as LAN wifi router.
5. Manual back to recovery and root it again.
6. Install latest recovery ver via odin again
Hope it helps

You don't have the install zip from sdcard because you're recovery is stock...and the old ( update from sdcard option ) on stock recovery was removed in 4.0.4 ICS...So that's out.
Do as above stated and try a fresh install of drivers/or older set and a different version of Odin. I have an older version linked in my FAQ thread...but only use the recovery zip and root zip in the link if you have a p4wifi only tablet. The Odin version will work though for any tablet model.
I'll look around..I might have an alternative way...but I'm not sure. I'll post back later today, as I'm at work..:good:

Give this thread a read and try the app...its called Framaroot...it has a new exploit that might now work with you're device. If it doesn't..no harm done. But read the thread op...as it will give you info on some things to try if the app fails the first time.
Let me know if it works.. So I can update my FAQs thread and you or myself can post to the apps thread to help update the supported devices for the op over there...Thanks

guys, thank you for trying to help,
but sorry, none above can solve the problem,
for cable and driver issue ;
i already tried to uninstall and install various type of galaxy tab p7500 driver that available in the internet, and tried to connect it to my pc, my friend's and my wife's pc but still a NO, tried to change the setting>storage>choose usb pc connection, disable USB debugging, but still nothing
and i tried to use the cable to connect my wife's galaxy tab to pc, and it works just fine
so confirm : driver - OK , cable - OK
for ODIN ; NO GO
as related to above issue, i tried to download mode and nothing happen, on the screen only appear "waiting for usb" and no yellow signal from ODIN in pc, tried with Odin3-v1.85
for recovery ; NO GO
in the screen tab, it appear version Android System Recovery <3e>
it only have menu:
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
with the help from airdroid app(via wifi), i put cwm file recovery.img and update.zip/root.zip/superuser.zip for root, but none of them is detected in the recovery
so neither rooting nor flashing can be done here
for Framaroot app NO GO
i installed Framaroot-1.6.1 into the tab, it rejected right away, not supported
mobile odin pro 3.76 ; NO GO
need to root first
terminal emulator; PENDING
need to root, but i found somewhere in the internet that we can root via TE just that need the specific code, I have no idea on this, tried to search terminal emulator help for galaxy tab 10.1 but none found, only found for other devices.
and another problem i cant type anything in the TE
so Terminal Emulator ; can't type , not sure the script/command

i have no clue on this, do i need a specific driver?
so, is it Terminal emulator or usb otg might able to solve the problem?
really appreciate ur assistance, guys
@khaix
Seen this...maybe worth a try...
Quick STEP:
1. Connect TAB to PC ( with its corresponding USB cord )
2. While its connected ( MTP connected appears on your TAB )
3. GO to Control Panel on your PC ( Find the Devices and printer )
4. while in the " Devices and Printer ( SAMSUNG ANDROID will appear w/ a red marker saying " it has a problem connecting " )
5. Right Click the " SAMSUNG ANDROID " and press the fix problem .
6. then it will automatically fix the problem why your TAB wont connect to your PC ( Just fallow the troubleshoot steps )
7. Then its a rap.
If that is not an option...
Try uninstalling drivers and kies..reboot you're computer( make sure drivers were uninstalled ). Now reinstall drivers,but not kies. Or just plug in you're device and let it download the drivers..but no kies..
Try these two options to get connected and let me know...if they don't work I'll keep look...

As said before, you can't flash anything in your current t recovery because it is the stock recovery. About TE, for some reason you can't type anything using the stock Samsung keyboard. Download Google Keyboard from play store then you can type in it. But you won't be able to write the recovery.img into your tab because that would require root.
Try to go to Settings -> Storage -> press the menu button or the 3 dot button (whatever it is you want to call it) at the top right -> make sure the first checkbox is ticked.

Hi guys,
I already unistalled Kies and the tab driver, restart, install the latest usb driver and restart again, and connect my tab to pc, still nothing, but when i ttried my wife's tab, it immediately detected the tab, so the cable is ok, only something is wrong with the tab...
i also double checked at setting>storage>3 lines at right end corner>media device (mtp)
still nothing
ok, one thing i forgot to mention
this problem happen after I did a factory reset on this tab. now got "x" red cross at battery bar, and when i switch it off, it appear the charging bar like it is charging even it is not. and end up battery still draining even in off mode
also sim card cant be detected..

Sounds to me like you need to clean the charger port...it might have something crossed over...I've seen this in the epic 4g touch forum.. You're device is reading that something is in contact with the charging port...since its not reading the cable that came with the device..it puts the red x over the battery bar. You can't charge these tabs with just any cord..unless you're running a custom ROM..
The sim card I'm not sure...check that port and we'll proceed from there..

I just did that, clean the port carefully and tried again to connect to pc
The result still the same, not detected but only chargin like before, with red x on the battery bar
This is so frustating, am i reaching a dead end?
Sorry if you mentioned it before, but is your tab able to connect to PC normally? I mean without download mode and Odin and all those stuff.
And all this happens after you factory reset your tab using stock recovery right?

The x happens when connected to USB or charging? If USB then its normal since by default it isn't charging.

Look at this thread.. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html
I'm thinking it has to be the port or the 30 pin connector...I know. You said it works with other devices...but trust me when I say...technology is a fickle mistress...
Did he say that? Whoops, I think I missed it.

I'm experiencing similar problem. I followed the instructions in Odin after bricking my phone via wrong carrier ROM update. I followed these stpes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573
I was successful. I also rooted the phone. Yet, I don't see the "install zip from ...." and all recovery apps fail once the phone gets into recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Was trying to go from GB 2.3.3 to OmniROM 4.4.4 on a friend’s S2 (GT I-9100).
I rooted using Framaroot (the first version, the latest wouldnt work), got root, checked with RootChecker. Then I tried to install CWM.
Spent hours trying, I wanted to do everything "on device" rather than use Heidal or ADB (use inux on my desktop), tried MobileOdin, but there was no "recovery" option, so tried ROM Manager using a guide ( http://luvis.se/tipstricks/root-and-install-kitkat-on-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-without-a-computer/ ), but kept failing cos of E signature verification, even though ROM Manager said it was installed.
I d spent hours and hours on the internet looking for how to install, seems its difficult because the device was GB.
So I tried MobileOdin again and just installed the "CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.zip" I downloaded from the above guide using the "install update.zip" option, I cancelled it when the warning came up about firmware can brick your device, but then hit "ok" (partly in frustration and partly cos I ve never bricked a device before as I m (USUALLY) always careful).
Now it just boots the the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen, then the screen goes blank after 10 seconds or so. Stupid, stupid me.
So can anyone help me recover it using ADB, Android Studio or maybe Heimdal or direct me to a guide on how to ? Everything I read uses Odin and assumes you can get into recovery. All that time trying to avoid connecting it to a pc and now I ve deffo got to.

Cant get into recovery but can get into download mode. Tried One-click Unbrick and it cant connect to device, which reminded me that when I connected it to my (Ubuntu) pc (before I bricked it) I got an error message saying it couldn’t mount Android device (I got rid of my S2 a couple of years ago but it always connected to my pc with no problems). Which seems to me like a real problem - how can I un-brick it if I cant connect via USB ?

First, I don't have any experience with ubuntu, so I would suggest connecting to a windows pc via usb, making sure you install the drivers for the s2, then download odin. Once you have odin setup, I would flash a stock rom .tar from sammobile.com. From there you can flash a kernel such as philz to gain root access, and then omni or other rom.

Once you have odin setup, I would flash a stock rom .tar from sammobile.com. From there you can flash a kernel such as philz to gain root access, and then omni or other rom.

Heimdal on Ubuntu (or a Mac) will do the same job as Odin on Windows (and is more reliable), but I have this USB problem I mentioned above, so I m not sure anything is going to work if theres a problem with USB on the device (USB debugging was enabled). One-Click Unbrick cannot connect to it and nor can my pc.

Probably obvious, and you've maybe tried already, but will a different usb data cord work? And I would try a different pc just to rule it out.
Here is something to read as well about recovering from soft bricks. Hope it helps -

Mate, the only thing I can suggest is make sure you have drivers for the phone(although the message saying can't mount device indicates a problem like corrupted partitions or nand, rather than missing drivers), and try a different pc. The fact you can get into download mode at least suggests you can flash a kernel or something, but you need a connection to the pc to do that(as you already know). I hope someone else has some other ideas

I wont need drivers as Linux has drivers built into it - it works out of the box, no messing around installing them like with Windows.
I just gotta spend some time getting the firmware and finding instructions on doing it with Heimdall, theres so many versions of the S2 it makes finding the right software complex.
And I ve just got to hope there isnt a problem with the usb port on the device or I m really buggered

Lol, I forgot that on Samsung devices you have to press home as well as power and vol up for recovery, found this out while trying to fins out how to unbrick it !
It wouldnnt boot but it WOULD boot to recovery, CWM recovery !
So flashed a CM kernel then Omni and all is fine, OmniROM installed !
