Please any one can help me?
I have a Samsung Galaxy s2 GT-i9100G. I installed Android 4.2.1 via Odin. it worked fine, then i rooted it and also went fine.
My problem started when I tried to install GT-I9100G_LP7_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4 via odin. it seemed that it fionished ok. but after the reboot. the device stack in Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I900G, and I can't get to recovery mode nor the download mode using the key combination. it is just turning off and then stuck in the same splash screen.
Is that means my phone damaged??
can anyone please help me ????
Sometimes the screen well be black but your I download mode. I'm not at my computer but someone link or explain proper way do get in to download. Make sure pull battery before try download mode. Also connect Odin to see if your connected with black screen. Next time use mobile Odin to do recovery much safer.

Thank you so much for your reply, I appropriated that. I am still stuck there, could you please send me that link telling how to proper get in download mode??
Thank you.
Finally,I got rid of it. I don't know how exactly it is done, but anyway, I removed the battery for about 5 hours (Don't know if that makes sense), then I was able to get in the recovery mode only. I selected to wipe cache and then to factory reset but it didn't work. but after it rebooted I was able to get in the DOWNLOAD mode so easily. That's it, I just connected to the PC, then opened Odin, selected the official JB ROM, started to flash and .. VOALAA ... it works
Thanks guys ...
Special thanks to xxsicknessxx for not letting me throw my phone out of the window

ok this is shameful as my first post but well what the hey....
I purchased a samsung s2 in november, and tbh I love it to bits. last week in manchester we had a bit of a heatwave and upon getting home I put my phone on charge. after giving it a 30 min charge to sync to my computer I noticed my phone was stuck on the boot screen so I took out the battery and tried again. I did this a total of 11 times, and still stuck on the boot screen. so I went into the recovery settings and tried a soft reset, that did not work, so I did a factory reset in which it came up with could not mount E: I left it like that for an hour before taking it to the local mobile phone shop in denton named U&E connexions as I needed the phone for an emergency. two days later I get a call from the shop saying that there was nothing that they could do and for me to pick up the phone. Upon scouring the net for a solution I came across this forum and proceeded to find out about firmware flashing. so I initiated the download process on my sg2 and noticed the the binary was set to custom and that the download counter was showing the number 4. I found out that my warranty was void if the download counter shows any number, and contacted the shop who responded that there is nothing that they can do. so I purchased a mini usb jig to try and erase the download but to no avail. upon speaking with a couple of friends they said that it could possibly be a corrupt partition due to not being able to flash anything to the phone. Any help or advice would sincerely be appreciated.
I'm not experienced with this , but until some help comes I will share what I've tried .
I once messed with phone when flashing a ROM ,
so I did opened phone in download mode ( it run on download mode I don't know your phone can boot the download mode or not )
then connected to PC , ran odin , marked repartation and choosed a Pit file for my s2 ( by checking this you may wind up with bricked phone but for me it was already not working )
then I tried flashing a stock GingerBread ROM with PDA , PHONE and CSC files . aslo checked phone bootuploader update ( really Don't know why for but I checked it )
and clicked start ,it took its time , then, the mobile was back to life again .
anything you will do is on your responsibility . i just want to share what I did

I think you may check for different versions of Odin ,also be sure that pit file is choosen , and it is the right one and aslo the PDA , as in the link .
ok no luck still.. I'd just like to thank everyone for their help on this issue.
Not sure if you want to try this but perhaps you can try flashing to the original stock rom first?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
if it boots up you again you can use triangle away to assist resetting the counter to 0.
it seems that my phone has the emmc bug. hence as to the corrupt nand rw permissions. I've tried flashing the stock rom using odin and heimdall and still no luck.
Gonna take my phone to carphone warehouse and tell them that my phone suffered the bug after doing a soft reset followed by factory reset. hopefully they dont notice the odin download count.
well they noticed the download count. is there anyway that I can kill the phone so that it does not show the download count or anything. I might be able to get a replacement that way. :s
Absolutely not. That falls under the "don't get us (XDA) in trouble" rule here.

use USB JIG simple :fingers-crossed:
I've tried the usb jig and it will only allow me to go into download mode, but the emmc bug will not allow me to downgrade the bootloader. or do any firmware flashing other than kernal flash.
hmm.. is you able to go into recovery mode if yes them flash SiyahKernel v3.3.2 and try to do system format if no then try Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script
good luck :fingers-crossed:
edit and if you abe to go into recovery mode then select download mode from recovery (SiyahKernel) and try to flash rom again :

XDA does not condone fraud, and that's what you're discussing here. No more.
Hi my process of root and installation gone very bad. now my mobile does not power up by itself but only when its connected with PC via USB cable it flashes intermittently, please see the attached photo.
How it happens:
1. SG II was okay and functional so i entered into recovery mode and did wipe clean of data and then cache.
2. Entered into download mode and tried Odin and install custom Rom but there were few rejected attempt.
3. Odin was terminated and mobile battery removed to try again
4. It shown me "software update failed logo" plz see image i uploaded.
5. my phone still connectable with Odin, so i flashed it with "MyGKernelV1.1.1_CWM5.tar" as we found it in one forum to fix this error message.
6. Took battery out and this boot-loop stuck on my mobile. (See the first image uploaded, its kind of screen saver as this logo keep going on n off)
Odin 3 does not register it connected on my PC, i cannot enter into recovery or download mode.
Please, let me know if anyone got idea to fix it, will appreciate lot, as after 3-4 hours search through numerous forums and pages, i am frustrated.
Pictures uploaded to show my case are searched online to be close enough but they represent same problem.

That's forced download, get a stock ROM meant for your device and flash it via odin.
Now that I think about it the only thing I saw was the pic you posted so I dunno if your pc sees your device.
if it does, cool.
If it doesn't try another cable/port/pc/re install kies and on and on. Check the last page of the phistachio thread about unbricking, there's a lot of guys with that exact problem.
PS: I didn't want to edit it either so I kept typing. Crazy.

Since it's showing you that forced download screen (it's the device's way to beg you to flash something because as it for now, nothing is working for it) I can tell you that is not THAT bricked just yet. You just need your pc to see it.
Try other Odin versions and make sure you get the right ROM for your device.
BTW, are you sure it's a I9100G device? did you check under the battery?
Before i started wiping and cleaning it, i made note of its model no, baseband etc ...so all that info is right.
Also, to give you better idea, this mobile current state is this one attached again..it keep flashing this screen info when connected with laptop otherwise it stays blank.

Oh, sorry, now I remember. It was when you flashed something from other site.
So, no DL mode? 100% sure? usb jig is your next step then.

:good: thanks mate...
So my phone Note was completely messed up, rebooting every few mins so basically already un-usable so I decided to try and install cyanogenmod 10 to it to see if it fixed them problem, I followed the instructions on installing the recovery.img per the cyanogenmod site, after the phone was rebooted it now comes up with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again", no matter what I do that's the message I get now, I can't get it into download mode or recovery mode and for the heck of it I tried using Kies and it just says the device isn't responding and to try to reboot the phone, is there any way to fix it?
UPDATE: Found a guide online on how to fix it and it's now working again
Check the power button. Sometimes they stick or get crap under them.
Checked it, the power button seems to work fine and isn't sticking or anything.
What guide did u used I'm having same problem

Be sure to flash the correct kernel. I'm guessing you flashed Gingerbread on top of ICS.

It sounds like SDS to me, service is your only option.
The good news is that if you cannot get into download mode at service they can't check the binary counter.

1- Switch your phone off.
2- Press Volume Up + Home Button + Power.
3- When on, release power, but keep on Vol Up and Home.
4- Wipe factory settings.
5- Reboot.
6- Enjoy.
But keep informed, rooting your device increases the flash counter, which forces a message of having "custom" firmware, which can void your warranty.

But what do you mean by that "Odin" is not working? Does it recognize the device when connected by showing "COM:**"?

Not sure about that. OP stated he flashed wrong file via Odin. That probably did it.
As I have frequently done without issues, I was flashing a ROM and got stuck into some sort of bootloop.
Here are some details..
I was on a 4.4.2 KitKat ROM (Gummy Nightly) and decided to try out SlimKat 4.4.2. I wiped (advanced wiped System, Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache). I proceeded to flash the ROM and then the gapps file. Nothing out of the ordinary.. I rebooted and noticed I was at the samsung custom screen for a little longer than normal.. I didn't begin to worry too much because sometimes this screen can appear for a little bit before continuing when first booting into a fresh ROM install. Well.. quite some time passed and it became apparent that it wasn't going to go any further, I restarted the phone and consistently got stuck. I tried booting into TWRP and couldn't/can't get past the TWRP Blue Loading screen. I tried letting it sit for a long ass time (1 hour +) and same with regular rebooting at the Samsung Custom screen (1-2 hours +) with no luck or change.
I have a backup but can't get to it obviously. I'm quite frustrated and am confused/worried about attempting any drastic measures because all of the different phone versions/bootloader discussions/issues. I don't want to mess up the phone by bricking it or something when trying to flash the wrong file. I believe that right now the only thing I can do, if anything, is connecting my phone to my computer via a usb cable and running that ODIN program? I'd be inexplicably grateful and appreciative if someone can just give me some steps/instructions so that I can get my phone back up and running. I'm without a phone right now and am stressed out, so I'm hoping that I haven't made too many people upset with me if there's already somewhere this is answered. I searched but can't find someone with the exact variables my situation contains.
To Recap:
Phone will not progress past samsung custom warning screen as well as TWRP Blue Logo screen no matter how much time passes (Have let sit at either screen for hours)
Was flashing SlimKat nightly (the most recent two days ago) coming from Gummy nightly (1-12, I believe).
The samsung custom screen comes up and then the phone reboots 2 seconds later and comes up again etc..
I never had to use 'safestrap' or whatever. When I got my s4, I was able to avoid the update and was always able to flash ROMs without any worry or concerns.
Please XDA, Help me out here.. I'm completely stressed and worried and don't know where to go from here.. What files to I manually push from my computer.. I don't see how I can solve this without a computer because recovery wont load and ROM won't either
Can you plug it into a pc and get Odin to see it? If so, you can odin back to your stock firmware and start over.

Hey I am having the same problem after trying to flash the latest version of hyperdrive, and my phone got stuck on the Samsung custom screen and I'm not able to get back into recovery even. I saw what you said and plugged my phone into my pc to see if odin could see it, but odin didn't recognize it and I even tried on Kies and it wasnt able to connect to my device either. Is there anything else I can do? or any solution?
If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!
This happened to me several times when i was using Gummy a few weeks back. I just kept doing battery pulls and restarting and was eventually able to get into TWRP. Try this some more and then odin.....
I have been trying to get it working with your advice of battery pulls but no luck. I have downloaded ODIN and installed and also downloaded the two tar files (the kernel and pre-source kernels). I *think* it's good news that ODIN/computer DOES see/recognize that my s4 is connected and disconnected. The issue I'm having is that when flashing the kernel, it does the first green bar and says PASS but the phone restarts and enters the bootloop (it restarts right into the Samsung Custom screen and will stay for a minute and restart again and again)..
I feel like I'm so close but so far away... I know that there's someone reading this that may have the solution or advice to help me get on my way.
I'm still without a phone and I know that there is certainly no one else to blame for my situation then myself but regardless, I would like to see this problem solved! I have a backup on my external sd and there's obviously no way to get to it since my phone won't actually let me into the recovery. The blue TWRP screen just hangs...
Please HELP!!! what can I do????

Just picked up an mdk s4 which was doing the same thing. I odin back to stock and booted into the phone to make sure everything was good. Then I went back into odin and flashed the md2 pre release kernel then booted again into stock and proceeded to use motochopper.
You shouod have 3 files. The mdk tar file and the two kernel files. Worked like a charm for me you sure you're doing the steps correctly?
