Hey,
I decided last night I would try and backup my phone, however Kies thought it would be fun to start updating, and somehow it locked up. Now I get a message on my phone that says :-
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Now I have done what it says however everytime i connect it up i get a message saying "USB Device Not Recognised"
I have downloaded the drivers, with no such luck, and tried installing them via Kies again with no joy. Reading on the forum I found out about the recovery mode which I have manage to get the phone into and downloaded what I thought was the right thing but it's not working at all.
I think what Ideally i need is a way to get the phone back to a working version, I just have no idea how to do it. I have downloaded Odin as that seems to be a program that every page says.
Not sure if you need the information but it was on 3G UK network.
Sorry this probably sounds extremely noob like but I've spent 10 hours on it already and am confused beyond imagination
Kies is one of them horrible programs that just doesnt work properly.
as you have read about Odin, i will assume you know you can use this to flash a stock firmware to your phone.
Have a look for intratechs thread of offical firmwares (linked below), download one for your phone and flash it via odin.
Please read the top information in his thread it tells you what to do and how to do it.

How do i resolve the other issue of windows not recognizing it ?
put the phone in download mode and pc should recognize the phone
If we're talking about a phone running stock firmware that you've never mucked around with (rooted it, run non-stock firmware on it, etc, etc), send it in to Samsung/whomever you bought it from for warranty service.'
If you start flashing things in order to try & fix it, you run the slight risk you might brick it/void your warranty. Which means you end up paying to get it fixed.
I wouldn't tempt fate if I were in your situation.
If we're talking about a phone you've been mucking around with (like most of us here ), then go to Samfirmware.com & search for the original firmware that came with your phone & flash it following whatever instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
Alternatively, if you're happy with the latest firmware available for your phone model/carrier/country, find/download the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google). This will allow you to download a tarball of the latest available firmware for your carrier/country, which you can flash according to the instructions here.
Also, before you do anything, try a factory reset if you haven't already.
1.Find your new firmware version and download the file from the links
2.Extract the file, so that you now have a .tar file.
3.Download and run the Odin software from the provided link (200KB)
4.Reboot the phone to download mode
To do this, turn the phone off, then simultaneously press the volume down key, the home button and then press the power button. If you see a warning, press the volume up button to continue.
5.In Odin, click the button named “PDA” and select your .tar file (your rom).
If the rom has several files, also put in the PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC files. but do NOT put in a .pit file.
6.Connect the phone to the computer with usb cable, and wait till ID:COM turns yellow.
7.Click the “Start” button, and Odin will flash your rom.
As simple as that.
I have the files however CANNOT get windows to detect the phone....it simply refuses every single time.
All i get is USB Device Not Recognised
Which i get after holding down, Power, Vol Down and Menu till i get the download screen. Occassionally (VERY RARELY) it has been detected by odin then fails on factory

Are you plugged directly into a port on the PC, and not through a keyboard pass-through port, or a USB hub? Or have you tried a different cable?
Ok guys,
I have got it to the point it is able to flash now. Problem is I have some dodgy yellow ! and it wont go any further than that.
How do I get rid of that and get back to bog standard everything, I have used CheckFus and downloaded the firmware but it wont get rid of the !

I have a standard unlocked UK SGS2.
It has been running ICS since its official Samsung update, and for the past week or so has been displaying a "firmware update available" message.
Today I tried to run the update via Kies. The update hung with the SGS2 displaying the "downloading - do not disconnect target" screen. Eventually, Kies displayed a message that the download had failed, and the phone should be disconnected and rebooted.
Rebooting the phone has given the "handset-exclamation mark - PC" screen.
I have so far tried:
a) following Kies instructions to the letter;
b) switching USB ports on the PC (running Win 7 pro 64);
c) trying the "hold volume up&down + on/off buttons; at second flash release power button", etc;
Nothing has worked and the phone appears bricked.
How can I resolve this. It must be a common problem, given the millions of these handsets out there. Unfortunately i am currently overseas and in the middle of a desert - so not able to go to a Samsung service centre to get help!
Download UK unbranded firmware from here <http://www.hotfile.com/dl/153177481/9861a3a/I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP5_XEU.zip.html>. Extract using Winzip. You will get a Tar.md5 file.
Download Odin from here <http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=725858&d=1316556218>
Completely shutdown Kies via the Task Manager.
Completely Shut Down Phone. Now hold volume down+home+power buttons, You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode
Connect your phone to your pc via cable. Fire up Odin. The box below ID:COM will be yellow.
Click on PDA and select the .tar.md5 file extracted in first step.
Click Start. Let Finish. Do not disconnect wire until you see 'Pass'.
If phone bootloops, shut down phone. Now hold volume Up+Home+Power buttons. Do a Factory Reset. Restart.
Let know if this works.
Go to samsung and tell them what happened and they should fix it under warranty

I knew the kies is not the proper way to update the latest firmware and always giving a problem! When the downloading firmware on kies are almost finish there is always an error such as " hang" or " internet disconnected " ! The smarter way is to use odin3 :good:
Its not a major issue, this isnt a brick, its a softbrick, big difference, just means ya flash failed, could be a million reasons for that,
AS DESCRIBED above, this is a simple fix by downloading and flashing the appropriate stock firmware for your phone via odin again in download mode.
your phone will go to download mode so dont worry about that, if it hasnt gone to dl mode when attempted, pull the battery, leave it out 10 mins, put it back in and try again, failing that a usb jig will suffice, see post on who and where will share their jig if you dont have one, there may be someone near you.
CAUTION, dont try flashing any of the latest leaks on your phone, just choose whatever the last stock release was by your carrier on samfirmware, and flash that as that will be your latest firmware.
I never use kies to update, simply use ota, or download the rom and flash it, kies is very unreliable, this is where HTC and SE beat samsung, the download and recovery methods are so much simpler and they work.
Please please please could anyone help!
About a month ago I upgraded to Ice cream sandwich (LP7) and then rooted my S2. All worked fine for 3 or 4 days and then suddenly it crashed for no reason. I suspect, but am not sure, that it did an automatic update. On rebooting it just stops at the Samsung S2 screen with a yellow triangle.
For the last few weeks i have been trying to find a fix, but am at my wits end now.
I have gone through the different solutions on your site but to no avail also where mine seems to be different is that I can get into boot mode and odin always says its successful. I have tried different pc and usb cable too just in case that was an issue
I can not get into Volume up mode, but i can get into boot mode with volume down. I have tried re loading a few different rom's and Odin says that the transfer was successful each time, however it is still stuck at the same place on reboot.
Tried reloading kernel and re partitioning, and again Odin said it went OK, but still stuck on start screen.
Tried using a jig and turned phone on, but it the phone just went to the start screen again.
If i could just get into reset mode, i could clear the memory, but this is not working either.
If anyone could help i would be very so grateful.
Thanks

You need to flash a ROM that will wipe your data at once.
Is your phone GT I9100 or GT I9100G?

That is a special .tar edition. You simply flash it just like a single file firmware (as PDA).

Try this I did and it worked to get mine booting after a bad update.
I messed around with it using several methods of getting it to boot into download mode until I finally got it to do it. I think I left it plugged into the USB, powered it down until I saw the charging screen, then I proceeded to play with the different ways to hold the buttons to get it to download mode. If you are persistent enough and read a little on booting methods to get bricked phone into download mode you will succed if not then your not for the world of trial and error... the main thing is do the first steps I said before until it works
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
or try
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
any how try try try until it works
Once in download mode
Get your files together for your phone, and use Odin 1.85.
Plug into Odin and make sure it shows yellow and its added!
1. Now if your files have like 3 files and the exact .pit file for your phone if available.
I found mine here (Find yous stock firmware for your phone)
CLICK HERE
2. Click the PIT button and browse to your exact .pit file for your phone *It should now have added a check in the re-partition box under the options area of the Odin window. If not CHECK IT!
***If you don't have your .pit don't worry about this unless you suspect, or have a bad partition
3. If you have just 1 file just click the PDA button and load the file. If you have 3 then you will load the PDA file in PDA, the Modem file into PHONE, and the CSC file into CSC, there are way too many phones to link all the files so get you stuff together!
4. Now hit start.
5. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
6. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
7. As soon as the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever let go of all buttons and using the Vol Up down Choose the Clear Cache option and go through and make sure you factory reset it if you can just for good measure.
8. Reboot
9. Now when the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever take out battery again to power off
10. Now put it back in and start it in Download mode by pressing Vol Down, Home at the same time then the Power button.
11. Once in download mode Hook up to Odin again and flash it with a root kernel for your phone. Do not ask me just find it. I did it took time but I got all the files together over several days of reading and collecting the correct ones.
12. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
13. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
14. In most roots you will now have a advanced or mounting options and more options to use.
15. I cleared the Cache again, Cleared the Davilik Cache, Went into a option and actually mounted the cache formatted the Cache.
16. Use the option now to restart the phone...
And mine started up installed the apps and I am up and running, nice and smooth and no issues so far
I hope this helps out someone whos just about to go off the deep end, as I was there and patience and trial and error came up with this step by step way to recover mine. Thank me by hitting the little thumbs up THANKS button below this post.
And if your so happy your phone is up show your appreciation by buying me a Pepsi

Hello
My friend just gave me I777 with this problem cause he bought a new phone, he couldn't tell me exactly when he got that "connect to kies". I never flashed anything or installed any rom's, I just want to get it back to life. Any solutions for me?

Can you put the phone into download mode? I would assume the answer is yes if you still get the "connect to kies" message. Following are detailed instructions for getting into download mode.
Download Mode:
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.
If the phone will go into download mode, you will need to use Odin desktop to flash the stock firmware. You should use the latest stock firmware. Go to the Download Repository and download Odin3 v1.85 from the link near the top of the page, and also download the latest stock firmware, "I777UCMD8 Stock Binaries (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean)" from near the bottom of the page. It's the next to last item. Download both to your Windows pc, and then follow the detailed instructions below to flash it onto your phone.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
The phone should boot up normally. If it does not, enter recovery (see instructions in the download mode section) and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
I really need somebody's Help, I followed these instructions on how to root a Galaxy SII:

The Flashing Process
Make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer and switched off before starting.
Download Odin3 v1.85 (first post) and the KF4 kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.zip – fourth post) from Chainfire’s SGS2 CF-Root thread at Xda-Developers. You will need to register on the forum to download the files – highly worthwhile anyway.
Extract the two ZIP files into a new folder. You should have the following files in the folder:

Open Odin3. Click on the PDA button and select the CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.tar file. Make sure that “Re-Partition” is not selected. Your screen should look similar to this:
image
Now the only *remotely* confusing part – placing your phone into download mode. With your phone already switched off, simultaneously hold down the Home (middle) button and the Volume-Down (on the left hand side) button, then hold the Power button (on the right hand side). If you hold this button combination correctly you will see the following screen (if it didn’t work, you’ll need to switch your phone off and try again):
image
Press Volume-Up and you should see this:
image
Now we are ready to flash the kernel. Plug the phone into your MicroUSB cable. If you are doing it for the first time, some drivers may automatically install to allow communication with the phone in download mode. Once this is complete, check your Odin3 screen for the following changes:

If you are still with me at this stage, you are good to go. Press Start in Odin3 and let it do its magic (the phone’s screen will change to a progress bar so you know it is doing something).
The phone will reboot and you are done.

Can you go into download mode? If yes, try flash stock firmware. If no, I guess you'll need to buy a USB Jig then you can flash stock firmware.

Yes I still can. What do I do sir? What is a USB Jig? I am really new at this.
Great! Now go find stock rom for your device. And flash it using Odin. About USB Jig, it's a tool to help you enter download mode when your device is bricked. But don't mind about that, just focus on finding stock ROM for your device and flash it using Odin.
