We got a lot of threads about that. Check em out, try it all and that's that.

Try: other USB cable, all other USB ports (optimally straight to motherboard ones), other PC/laptop ... JIG maybe? Does charging work with no problem? USB port might be damaged...

Problem solved.
I bought a new one and burned the other one to a crisp.
Then danced on the ashes.
Thanks for all the help guys.

Ha, sometimes burning them in effigy is best, but you gave up way too quick! Hope you got it worked out. Good luck!

[Q] Sgs 2 bricked/not detected as samsung device

Hi guys, i hope you can help me.
So i was on Resurrection 2.1 rom, and my phone wasn't charging properly. That's why i decided to flash the stock ICS rom from Samsung.
I flashed it with Odin, and when it said "Passed" i lifted up my SGS 2 and Odin said "Fail".
Also my 32gb micro sd card broke. When i connect it to my pc, my pc laggs and the card is not recognised.
Now when i try to boot my phone there is a computer connected to the phone with a big yellow triangle.
It says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I couldn't flash again with odin because it is detected as an unknown device and not as Samsung device.
I could not find the recovery mode in Kies..
I really hope u can help me with my phone and sdcard issue.
I suggest trying a usb jig to force it to download mode or send it to samsung service center buddy. I have read a problem similar to this and they sent it to samsung service center, dunno if they recovered it them selves.

i can get into download mode without a jig but its not recognised as a samsung device, so i could use odin. -.-

Try uninstalling and reinstall kies. If it does not work try different usb ports. It worked for me. I used one port then after that i tried using the same port but it didn't recognize it anymore. I tried a different port and it did get recognized eventually. Try the different usb port first.

Hi, I don't know if anyone still reads this thread but I my SGS2 is also bricked and I can't seem to find a solution. I was trying to flash the latest resurection rom up from 4.0.3 and during the final reboot it went dark and never cam back. The computer recognizes a usb device being plugged in but does not recognize the drivers. I've tried different USB ports to no avail. Because it won't recognize it I can't get it into download mode which means I can't unbrick it. Any ideas? Thanx!

Phone not recognized in MTP, USB mass storage or even in download more! Help please!

I have been in vacation for a week and when today i turned back home i wish to transfer the photos into the PC, but my phone can't be recognized by my pc or other's. Even in download mode, MTP, USB mass storage...please give me some help!
I'm on Cyanogen Mod 9.1.0 with stock kernel!
Sorry for the bad english friends!
Does the phone charge when connected via USB?
If not: your USB connector might be broken.
If yes: did you change anything on the phone since it last worked?
The phone charge with USB cable and even with the original charger.
The connector is working with other phones. I thing something is broken...not software issue i think.

Might be silly, but have you installed the driver for the phone? Try reinstalling them by installing Kies.

I will try this, i have also tried a "electric contact cleaner" in spray, but no way.
The only way is to send it to Samsung, but i'm on CM 9 and since the phone is not recognized in download mode, i should flash the original firmware with mobile odin, am i right? It will be all right for the warranty?

Try any of these combinations:
1. Ensure you have kies is up to date.
2. In Device Manager - uninstall driver (!) & then reinstall.
3. In Control Panel - click on troubleshoot, hardware and sound, configure a device.
Option 2 worked for me.

wanted to unroot phone with mobile odin but it got worse

I really need help, please don't ignore this thread.
I wanted to unroot my phone to send it to samsung service so that they repair my nearly defect mini-USB port.
I reseted the counter and removed the triangle successfully. Then, because I can't connect the phone to Odin on PC
I decided to install mobile Odin and unroot it by flashing a stock ROM. And now I am stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo without
recovery so that I atleast restore from a backup. I can't even connect the phone to Odin on PC.
please help me!!!
Can you still go to download mode? If you can, then please flash a stock firmware/rom right away.
If you can't enter download mode, then a USB jig might be of great use to you
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks for the quick reply.
I can enter download mode, but my problem is that odin won't recognize my phone on pc
because of the "nearly" defect usb-port, well that's what I think atleast :S
nobody wants to help me :/
As you're rooted you have CWM app right?
Can you open that and choose reboot in recovery?
Or maybe try flashing the firmware again.

My problem is that I can't even boot the phone.. I can only boot in download mode but the usb-port is damaged and odin won't recognize the phone... But if I send it to repair, the triangle is away and counter reseted, they must replace the usb-port and flash a firmware so they are not going to be able to see the phone rooted or am I wrong?

Is the USB port physically damaged for certain or are you missing the drivers off your PC for it to see your phone. If damaged how do you charge your phone?

I just installed kies, went in download mode, I am still getting
the same error. It is a windows error reporting an unknown device.
That means the usb-port is damaged...
Samsung should take the same steps as I should have took? that means
they won't know if I my s2 has been rooted...

Mmmm not sure what steps a service centre will take to repair your phone. Perhaps your usb port has a bad connection as the pc knows something is connected to it, it just doesn't know what. Have you tried cleaning it gently with a toothbrush and a different usb cable?

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.
edit: you also can try to plug into different usb port that have different usb controller

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
As @sriram231092 said correctly you have to stop ALL of kies related processes.
The kies is important so your OS will have the required drivers so the device could be recognized.
After installing kies, make sure you do a reboot and then, just before you start ODIN close all the kies related processes.
I also suggest you run ODIN as admin if you're running win 7 or above.

Does device manager(DM) recognizes your device ? try to uninstall drivers from DM and re-connect your phone.
I also suggest using back door input for your usb.

Try to restart your pc/laptop? Take out the usb cable, restart windows, stop kies, start odin, plug in usb and it should say added.
Ps: you only needed kies to install your phone drivers, so make sure it has installed the drivers, you can check by normally starting your phone, plug in usb and see a popup msg.
