I have a Galaxy S2 on 4.1.2 jellybean.......I tried to flash Siy S2 V4.1.5 during the process the reset icon on ODIN came on and the process had stopped. I reset the phone as I thought that what was required(by switching it off and on). My phone is unable to boot past the logo which is a yin/yang symbol which keeps on flashing.
I have tried the recovery mode and wiped all data but this has not worked i.e the phone is stuck in the logo stage. ODIN will now not recognise my phone and I have reinstalled and uninstalled the samsung drivers,Kies etc ...................... Can you plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help as I am at loss what to do next.....I have searched the web and I am unable to find an answer as ODIN doesnt recognise my phone therefore I cant flash any rom etc...........
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease help and many many thanks in advance......

On 4.1.2 you need Siyah 6.04. Find here on xda patched zip of siyah 6.04 and install it from recovery.
You havent "bricked" your phone. Bricked is when you cant access recovery/download mode or power on phone etc.
What you have done is flash a incompatible kernel version for your rom so it wont boot to system. Siyah v4 is for ICS not JB. Just reboot into recovery or download mode and flash Siyah v6 beta4, .tar for download mode and the .zip for cwm.
Make sure you're flashing the right stuff for your device's model.

After installing from ODIN did u wipe data/factory reset?? If u stil hav warranty get it repaired asap..
The same problem arises n first i need to get into recovery so that i can wipe reset but i cant get into recovery
What were you doing / flashing when your phone got bricked?
If ur bricked ur phone wont boot up till samsung screen... Something else think so
if you bricked ur phone u need to find a guide like "how to get into download mode after Brick" i dont know one for the ace but there are some i think.
if you are in download mode then you can reflash a stock rom with odin.
I have flashed several times through odin but still no use
Since you can go to download mode, flash ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.6 and then flash a custom rom

Try full package ROM
Herpderp Defy.
I've never mentioned to use ODIN cause obviously he's doing something wrong with it.
He can flash CWM through download mode
Flash a 2.3.3 stock first then only flash 2.3.4 and follow by 2.3.5 and 2.3.6. Do not straight away go for 2.3.6 .

Read my first post properly ...! i have also tried to flash cwm through odin..,.?is there any way to wipe/reset user data through odin?
So this is the case, I had a rooted sgs2 running on MIUI 2.3.16 and brightly decided to flash the kernel into siyah.
Obviously that didnt work out too well, and I ended up in a situation where the phone stucks at startup showing the sgs2 logo, and wont budge from there.
I have no clue what was the kernels "version". Is there anything that can be done?
Allready tried to search the forums, but didnt find a similar situation.
Boot into recovery & do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, reflash Miui which will reinstate the Miui kernel.
If you can't get into recovery, reflash stock firmware in Odin, CFRoot the phone, then reflash Miui.
I'm assuming you should still be able to enter cwm/recovery... just go in to that and re-flash miui

You should find out what kernel it MIUI used, else you can end up
try very many different hehe.
But no panic, I guess you have Odin on youre pc?
Just start phones downloadmode by volume down-home, poweron.
Connect to usb cable, fire up Odin, and flash kernel (PDA in Odin)
Good luck man
Cant get to recovery, Only thing that i can do is to use Odin, how do i get back to stock kernel, or, even better, anyone know the MIUI kernel?
Flash stock in Odin as I said, then CFRoot it. If you've got a Nandroid (CWM) backup, you should then be able to restore that rather than flash Miui. If not, flash Miui in CWM. Stock roms/instructions for flashing same can be found here, if links don't work search for stock firmware on Samfirmware.com.
What Siyah kernelndid you flash? I flashed beta6 over the latest MIUI and it just went to a black screen.
Just hold down the power button with vol up + home. It'll eventually boot to recovery where you can flash MIUI again.

odin -> bootloader flash -> wait for logo battery out -> odin flash stock -> odin cf root -> recovery flash ur miui and kernel again
Issue solved!
Thankyou for you all for your quick replies and help!
Good How did you fix it ?
managed to get to cwm recovery after flashing one of the cf-root kernels, and from there on, just flashed miui all over again...
Ahhh OK. Cool. Glad you got it sorted
Hi every body hope you're doing great! Well today i had accidentally flash my galaxy s2 with the wrong room(jelly bean XXLSJ) via room manger in cyanogen mod 9 and i forgot that it was rooted so i wont be able to get access to it: the screen stop at the samsung logo
Therfore i tried to reflash it with cyangen mod again with odin but odin is unable to finish the flashing process and it remain like that (up it show kernel in the rectangle )
I was shocked and thankfully i steel have the download mode but i can't access to the recovery menu i didn't know what to do, i tried other stock rooms but in vain
When i boot normally it said in the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
Can you help me guys? I will be grateful ^_^
Well firstly its "rom" not "room.
To solve your situation simply flash Siyah kernel via download mode in odin. Once installed you will have cwm so just boot into recovery and flash the rom zip you want.
For future reference you should NOT be using "Rom Manager" from google play etc. Its not properley compatible with I9100. If you wish to flash roms or backup etc then just reboot into CWM or use the CWM Manager that is installed after flashing some kernels like Siyah.

Remove battery, re-install Kies (to refresh drivers), reboot system and then try flashing again.

Then you have obviously flashed a incompatible version or kernel. You will need to be more specific about how you flashed and what you flashed.
If download/recovery are working simply flash a compatible kernel. Kernels come with cwm.

I'm a noobie, the only thing I did is simply put the phone in download mode and installed clockworkmode recovery 5.5.0.4.
How can I check which kernel is compatible with my phone?

Boot into download mode and then flash Siyah kernel v4 or v5 should be fine, then after flashing kernel reboot into recovery and flash the rom zip of your choice.

+1 Siyah will do the job.
Be careful to flash the right version of rom for your phone :fingers-crossed:
I have a rooted galaxy s2, I was on a custom rom and decided to restore the stock one. then I flashed siya kernel because it was shutting down randomly. then I opened superSU app after it updated automatically on the market. it asked to update (and something about binary) choosing normal update or using cmw or twrp if oono a custom rom. I chose the cmw or twrp by accident and said that if the phone didn't reboot into rrecovery I have to do it manually
the phone **** down and when I try to turn it on it doesn't. the GALAXY S2 logo shows up then it turns black . I also tried to boot it into recovery and it didn't work either. so what's the problem and how can I fix it
Download mode work? Flash stock with odin
Or flash siyah in odin then boot to recovery and do a factory reset

odin can't recognize the phone
even though I installed the usb drivers and kies
I guess it's because I can't enable usb debugging since the phone doesn't turn on
any other idea?
Check out @Hopper8 thread for odin trouble
No need for usb debugging for an Odin flash. As andrewwright said, click the link in my signature and follow the troubleshooting steps.
