hate to admit it, but i need help
my aim is to get to stock jb.
to get there, i wanted to first install cwm, so that i could make a nandroid backup.
i rooted it easily enough, but discovered i hadnt got cwm (i havent done this in a while, last time i did was on a htc desire, and the methods were different).
so i then found a guide for the i9100 (my model) to get cwm.
i downloaded odin and the cwm file, and, selected pda in odin, selected the file, and flashed. odin did its thing, and said successful, but on turning on the phone i just get 'samsung galaxy s2' with a yellow triangle.
it wont boot past that.
it wont boot into recovery now, but i can get into download mode.
i have downloaded the spanish JB firmware from sammobile (I9100XWLSD_I9100FOPLS4_FOP), but inside the zip there is only I9100XWLSD_I9100FOPLS4_I9100XXLS8_HOME.tar.md5
i thought thered be other files?
would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction.
im currently still at the yellow triangle (after flashing cwm), i dont want to do anything yet, as i dont want to cause any damage.
thanks
Just boot into odin and flash the JB rom via PDA section of ODIN. Then flash Siyah v6 beta 4 again via PDA section.
Once rom has booted install and use Triangle Away to remove yellow triangle.
done, and all is good.
thanks
ok, all was going well until tonight.
the phone turned off, and would not turn on again.
it just gets stuck at the samsung logo.
flashed stock rom with odin- no change.
flashed siyah kernel with odin, it now gets passed the samsung logo, but sticks at the siyah logo.
i can boot to download mode, but not recovery mode.
any help would be appreciated.
Tell us your Galaxy model. Open the battery cover, remove the battery and make a photo.

hey guys!
So I have had my phone for about 3 month, and today I had decided that I should see if they're any firmware updates since I had not checked in a while. So I did a search in my settings and it said I need to update so I did so. So it downloaded and it seemed to install but when it went to reboot, it just stayed on the boot screen.
I went into recover mode and set it back to factory settings, but still had no luck. Any ideas what to do as plan b?
Give it a few minutes (5-10 Mins) for the first time after updating... It may seem locked up but usually its not the case... After the first boot.. It will boot normally again....
If truly not working suggest downloading latest firmware package for your model and try flashing via odin
hope that helps^^

Help out...Samsung galaxy can't boot
Hello Guys,
I am not sure whether I am putting right question in the right place or not? I hope you guys don't mind and apologize me as my mind not working due to my foolish act trying to fly even without wings.....
Here is the story
I got my galaxy s2 I9100 a week ago. I tried to go for root. for this I did it using Odin v1.85. My firmware KH5 as its not available here I tried a related one say KH4. I followed all instructions carefully. Successfully brought in download mode. selected the download mode. connected with odin and browse the PDA .tar file. my mobile was recognized by yellow indicating and I starting. It showed the process running and also showed yellow bar turning in green saying "Pass". But soon mobile stucked at boot page and a yellow triangle appeared. Now I realized I made something wrong in eager of rooting. I tried other .tar files like KH1, KH3 and even KF- etc. But same problem. I tried to solve it by bringing recovery mode but It can't go to recover mode even. Now I can only go to download mode can try flashing via odin but can't get my mobile ahead of boot logo. Please helppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
@ habeebrasheed,
Flash stock firmware from Intratech thread via Odin with phone in download mode.
Then you will have a working phone and can start fresh.

Use Odin to flash speed mod kernel. Place it in the PDA and flash. You can download it from his thread here on xda. Just search Google.
Steps:
1. Download the kernel
2. Put phone in download mode (down volume, home and power)
3. Open Odin and click PDA and then find the speedmod kernel found here ( http://vln01.helochat.com/tourist/speedmod-kernel-s2-k2-21-Odin.tar )
4. Flash!!

thats how i did it, its already rooted and has CWM then flash whatever rom or kernel you want if you want (that one's out dated now)
and the kernel the guy above said will be already rooted aswell so no need to use s2root

That files you flashed has root in it. Once flashed your all rooted. Speedmod is better than nemphetamine kernel

Hi, I'm pretty new to this too.
Just wondering, I used "GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure.tar" to flash my Galaxy SII, then s2root. I get superuser, but I can't find CWM.
Can I use this kernel you guys posted as well? Or is it for his specific phone?
I'm really having problems getting CWM, and I'm scared of trying stuff before getting a backup.
So if installing that kernel installs CWM as well, and works for my model too, then I'm going for it.
Thanks.
hi, i have just recently got another galaxy s2 after nicely cracking the screen on my old one :S the stats are as follows
galaxy s2
4.0.3
i9100xxlps
3.0.1519100xwlp7sl340913
i downloaded and flashed the closes kernal which was xxlp6 (this was the closest) and now it seems stuck in the start up screen, odin flashes it successfully and it starts to reboot but all i have on screen is samsung galaxys11 with yellow triangle and it just hangs there and won't go any further, i followed the instructions to the letter so i don't know whats gone wrong, i found this thread and i have found and downloaded the speedmod kernal and tried to flash that over using odin, again it says successfull but will not go past the loading screen, please help i don't know what to do or what i could have possibly done wrong
thanks in advance, emma

Just download this CF-root file for KK1: http://download.chainfire.eu/66/CF-Root/SGN/CF-Root-SGN_ZS_MUL_KK1-v5.0-CWM5.zip
And then put your phone into download mode and flash that CF-root file using Odin. It should boot up after. Don't worry.
As long as you don't flash a pit file and you don't tick repartition, we can still save it easily.

Better you flash a stock now,
go to sammobile.com and find a suitable stock firmware and also download Odin flash guide from the same site and read carefully and flash.
then you find Matching CF-root kernel
thanks god with unsecure kernel and odin my phone is back again,
i was so pissed tried so many methods, even downloaded from samsfirmware the stock custom rom and it only gave me one md5 file...
so, thank you very much, reading helps a lot, now i know how to brick my phone with the unuseful cfroot kk1 5.0 version... speedmod kk1 version doesnt works too.
Guys, is there any chance of rooting the phone without flash with odin or from the mobile odin?
Serve unlock root for ICS 4.0.3?
From already thank you very much.
PS: Sorry for my English is not very good
Look at the PhilZ-CWM6 custom kernel. It can be flashed in stock recovery and includes SuperSU, root, ClockworkMod Recovery and Busybox.
It is pure stock based, and doesn't have MMC brickbug.
Thanks for responding! But there would be some way that only makes you root, without installing a modified kernel and without CWM? is that I want nothing more root access

You're wrong pal, using the first method will only root your phone, no cwm nor custom kernel. its a single file u flash through stock recovery that gives you root and busybox, nothing else.
Thanks friend! Now I see it, I do not set it up yet because there is no custom rom, just want root : D

Try flashing a custom kernel through Odin on your PC. Plenty of guides on here and Google. That way you can flash cm through recovery. Keep an eye out for the kernel bug related to 4.0.4. Again lots of documentation on that too.

There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything to your device. The level of risk is down to what you are doing and what state the battery is in etc.
As long at the rooted kernel you are flashing is compatible with the current firmware then all SHOULD be fine.

Stuck in bootloop
Hi,
So, this is what happened
I have a galaxy SII gt-i9100, About 5 months ago I rooted it and installed the galaxy nexus update to android 4.0.4. and everything was ok except it wasn't showing me the option to transfer via blue tooth (but that didn't bother me much). These were the things I used
1. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4
2. Odin3 v1.83
3. GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure
4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original
Now, yesterday I a friend had galaxy S II i9100P and he updated the firmware using kies and it had working blue tooth. I thought ok let's change it to that and my blue tooth might work also. I was at work and I (in a hurry) tried rooting it with only Odin. No backup, No Clockwork :laugh: nothing. ( and "Now it's stuck at the startup screen. I can go to download mode and recovery mode but it has samusg recovery not clockwork. I don't know what to do and in need of help. I'd really appreciate a quick response. (hoping to get atleast the mass data back )
These were the only 2 things used.
1. Odin3 v1.83
2. I9100JPLPH_I9100OJPLPF_PAK

ok, the galaxy nexus update? you mean Jelly Bean or Supernexus / chamaleon?
I think that you've installed a stock ROM over a custom ROM and that's why you are stucked at the logo.
read a little bit about flashing because you are up for it.
Learn about SD card data when flashing and follow a tutorial to flash stock ICS 4.0.3 via odin thru Download mode.
Also make sure to flash a safe kernel so you wont get the brick bug (see warning post sticked in the general section).
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?

I was on Neat Rom and flashed Apolo kernel with twrp recovery.But twrp couldn't mount neither of my sd cards.Therefore I tried to install cwm recovery with Rom manager and it seemed succesful but on reboot the phone stucked on "Samsung Galaxy S2" logo.I tried to flash some kernel or rom with Odin but Odin doesn't see my device.I don't have Kies installed and I tried different drivers.The PC kinda see my device and installs the drivers but that's it.I tried different usb ports,different Odin and the usb jig or at least what I understood what it was. I'm stucked and really don't know how to proceed.Thanks for the help.
