Hey guys im that standard new guy, that needs help.
I have a Galaxy s2 SGH-I777 or the GT-i9100 Not 100% sure. I currently have a bricked (or what i believe to be a bricked phone) not sure. It pops up with the start up screen (SAMSUNG GALAXY S II GT-I9100 with the yellow yield sign with exclamation mark in the middle). So im not sure what phone i have but i just want it to work again. I understand i can not provide alot of info due to not being about to look up its info. I believe i loaded the wrong CWM on it and cannot find the right one. Any help is appreciated thanks again.

you should post it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1148
and i think you have a bootloop if u did a nandroid u can restore it back
tell us which kernel u have flashed??...nd yes u have flashed a wrong kernel most probably.
AW: [Q] Galaxy s2 NEED MAJOR HELP.
hey!
as your bootscreen says i9100, you seem to have that version. to be sure, you can check the sticker under your battery.
what you have is called a bootloop. it is solvable. search for bootloop or flash a rom with odin. use the search function, there are quite a lot of guides around.

Hey guys,
I have a samsung galaxy s vibrant and when i turn it on the white logo comes on then it says vibrant in white ... and then goes black
Can anyone help me out?
We need way more info than that. What were you doing before that happened? Did you try to flash a custom ROM? Which one? What are you trying to do? Is it a bootloop or does it just go Vibrant and then black?
If you need help, we can but we need to know more about the problem before we can diagnose.
thanks for the reply,
ok ... im not very good with all this stuff
i have tried flashing a stock rom on my samsung galaxy s vibrant, thing is i dont think it is the right one for my phone cuz im on bell canada network and i cant find this authentic rom anywhere ...
anyway the situation with the phone is that i can get it into download mode, i can get it into recovery mode .. but whenever i try to boot it up it goes into a restart loop
i am completely lost at this point and have no clue what to do
thanks for your time
Ok that is just what we need to know. The Bell version I believe is the I-9000m. If you go to the I-9000 forums, there is a section for the M version. Chances are that you did flash the wrong firmware. They should be able to help you out over there. Good luck.
so i was trying to flash a new rom to my galaxy s 2 and it stated that the rom was downloaded correctly but then it just turned off and wouldnt power back on I never had a problem on my amaze or HD2 so im trying to figure out what went wrong.

Your profile says you're a T-Mobile user in the US. Is that accurate? If so, then you're in the wrong forum, and have potentially flashed an incorrect firmware.
Galaxy S II sold by T-Mobile USA is the SGH-T989. NOT the GT-I9100.
The T989 has a separate forum.
If you flashed an I9100 firmware or ROM, you may need to JTag it.

hi thanks for the reply but i think i figured it out. i was looking in other posts and stuff about the same problem and or ones about how to root and i think i just used a out of date kernel thing. because i found the same kerrnel i used that messed up my cell but the other one i found was a newer version i tihnk. so i downloaded that and did the thing with odin and yah it rebooted perfectly and from what i see my cell is rooted.
Good news then

I bet the yellow triangle gets on your nerves next ha! i found using a jig was the best way and safest to get rid of the triangle,but there is software to get rid i think it is by chainfire.
Galaxy S2 i9100 wont reboot after rooting
Hi There,
I have exactly the same problem. I did try to root and followed the instructions given in galaxys2root dot com.
Followed the link "ww.galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-i9100-icsandroid-4-0/" . ( One 'W' is intentionally missing in the referred link as a spoof. I am a new user with less than 10 posts so I am not allowed to paste a working link. Sorry) I went through the video first and followed all instructions threadbare.
Odin returned a green success message too. but the phone would not wake up beyond the Samsung Boot logo for S2. I was on ICS version 4.0.X prior to the ilflated root and my phone version is GT-I9100G.
You must excuse me, I did not note down my previous baseband version and similar other details in the about phone. I bought the phone from a Hongkong based ebay vendor and I live in Australia.
I am hoping i have not lost completely my phone and data. I have written too that web site too. Could you please help as soon as possible. I am without a phone.
thanks heaps in advance,

i want to know how i can get to stock. please some help URGENT! :crying:
Why on Earth would you do something ridiculously foolish like that ? If you're going to mod your phone, make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it & pay attention.
The help you need is in this thread, and by that I mean do what I told that guy to do (and what Hopper also told him to do). Do not post to the other thread, simply read the help I've provided, and go fix your phone.
I referred you to it because I can't be arsed typing the exact same thing 3 times within 5 minutes (twice is plenty for my level of patience, trust me).

Hi. I am new to this forum but i think i kinda understand what your problem is. I mean a solution since you get to go into the downloading mode. try to use odin to flash the sammy stock rom? Somewhere in xda you can find the tutorial. Good luck.
P/S: Try it/do it at your own risk. not responsible for any damages. :laugh:
Guys,
I purchases a 'damaged' s2 for a few bucks. When it starts, it only shows the galaxy s gt-19000 samsung screen. So i think there is no rom available.
Can i update a new rom through Odin3? If so, which rom should i use and how should i configure Odin3?
thanks for the help.

Hi,
Yes you can flash stock ROM via Odin. If you can boot into the OS after flashing, then you should be able to root your phone then flash custom ROMs via recovery.
gsstudios
Are you sure it's an S2? The gt-i9000 you mention would indicate that it isn't.....
(It *should* say gt-i9100)
If you're *positive* it's an S2 and you are *definitely* seeing gt-i9000 on startup, then somebody has flashed it incorrectly with a Galaxy S(1) rom/firmware.
Not sure if that's going to affect the recovery of the device (partition layout likely to be different).

many thanks for thh reply, i am not positive its a s2, bought it as a s2 though. They both look the same for me. The only galaxy i had was a S3
i do know that , at boot, it tells it is a gt-I9000
What does the sticker under the battery say it is?

It also shows gt i9000

Then it would appear that you have the Galaxy S(1) and not the Galaxy S2.
Go here.....

for all the guides you need to modify your device.....
But as @gsstudios says, first you need to flash your device with an official firmware.....no use trying to root if your device don't boot.....

perfect, thanks
