A cousin of mine had the same problem. I believe its a software issue, probably kernel related. Try flashing another kernel, or do a cache wipe. If all else fails, try factory reset.

flashed Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar this file and no think new!
still facing the same problem.

Ok.. try these steps:
1. Turn on Flight Mode, wait a minute, then turn it off. And try switching WiFi on.
2. Forget all connections u have got on WiFi, and connect them again.
3. Reboot ur phone and try again.
4. Try wiping cache and dalvik cache, then Fix Permissions in CWM recovery.
5. Flash another Siyah kernel, or try dorimanx kernel.
Hope this helps...

Where can I DL a rom for s2?

I had this problem on a S2 I bought as a spare/for spares from ebay.
I opened it up and found the button battery (3 years old now) had leaked on the PCS and it's right by the wifi, lots of people have had this problem, google will reveal, some leaked to bad it was too late to save.
In my case I was able to clean up the PCB and all worked fine, I also removed the battery with thin nosed pliers and a twist.
I did not want this to happen to my main S2 and removed the battery from that too, it does not really serve a purpose as the phone gets the time and date as soon as it connects to the network anyhow.
May or may not be your problem but it's a possibility.

There are roms everywhere on the internet. Look at the development and original development forums and find a thread that interests you the most.

Never go back to ICS (especially if you have brickbug affected chip). You can downgrade to jelly bean or gingerbread(I don't recommend this).

Freezes with multiple stock ROM's an only responds to Power button- various occasions

Hello.
For the past week, I have been having this annoying problem. Sometimes randomly, I reach my pocket for the phone, I unlock it and the background is black, my widgets closed themselves and I get no response from anything but the power button.
Other times, sometimes when I finish a call, the phone just freezes and doesn't respond anymore, except for the power button again. I really don't know what can be causing this. I can only reboot it.
If I leave the phone freezed for a while, a message appears. The background problem causes something like touchwiz stopped working and after the call, I get android.phone.com stopped working, if I recall correctly.
For the history, I already had installed some custom ROM's, but decided a while to go back to stock ROM's. I used the official ones, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487.
The first one was I9100XWLSD, built January 31st, in which I had that problem already. I then went for the most recent until now, I9100XWLSN. The problems stay, though. Everytime I flash, I make sure to factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache.
I'm no expert, but I know the basics about using Odin3 and flashing stock or custom ROM's. The phone is rooted with Siyah S2 6.0b4 kernel.
Please help, I'm going nuts over this. Thanks.
Sounds like a memory leak issue...
Try Siyah v6 b5..

Ok. Just one thing. Do I need to flash the ROM again or can I just flash the new kernel over? What happens to the files of the previous kernel?
Those are questions I always had, but never really needed to know. Now I see it's different.
Btw, what do you mean by fixing permissions?

Just flash the kernel over the ROM. It will remove the old kernel files. To be really sure of this, u can first flash a 'kernel wipe script' before flashing the new kernel.
Fixing permissions:
Go to CWM recovery - Advanced -Fix permissions.

[Q] phone stuck after factory reset

my phone froze after factory reset at the "samsung galaxy sII gt-i9100" screen. it has 4.1.2 update via kiess and is rooted. i tried a factory reset and selected usb formatting as well. it restarted and the screen was frozen at that screen for 15 mins till i removed the battery and restarted. still frozen at the same screen. will not start. i can enter the download menu or what it is called (volume down home and power) but i can't enter the other menu (the one with volume up home and power) it freezes at the same screen.
can anyone please help me step by step to reinstall using odin if possible my original version (it was 4.1.2 romanian from orange) or the 4.2.2 (one that you guys know to work on s2)
i would like to try to install the 4.2.2 version to see how it works, but just for warranty purposes i would like to download the original version too (if anyone knows where i can find it)
it's my first rom install so if you can make the explanation as step-by-step as possible i would appreciate it. meaning were to download the files i need for this. i don't know if i am allowed to ask for that on the forum but like i said this is the first time i'm trying to do this.
Rooted phones sometime have this issue while updating via Kies.
Try flashing Siyah v6 beta 5 kernel via Odin. You get it from www.gokhanmoral.com.
Stock firmwares can be downloaded from sammobile.com.

it did not crash wile i was updating. that worked perfectly. it crashed a few days later wen i tried a factory reset. i will try to flash the original version and see if it works. although i would have liked to try the 4.2.2 just to see how it works.
thanks for the address for stock version.

As of now 4.2.2 is not available officially. You get custom roms based on AOSP. So many Samsung apps and features will be missing in them. You do get the stock vanilla feel of pure Android though.
Let know what happens!

were can i find a custom 4.2.2 that i can flash with odin? i found one but i was weird. it had an img file and lots of folders, not the files supported by odin.
Most custom roms are flashed via custom recovery (you have to be rooted for that). You can install CyanogenMod 9 Resurrection version via Odin.
You can find many 4.2.2 roms in the development section.

a reset didn't solve it. i cleared the cashe and flashed the rom again and it worked.
now i have another problem. the phone is locked in orange and i need it unlocked. i had it unlocked before with galaxim unlock and it worked.
now it doesn't. it says it is unlocked but it's not. i had this problem before because i didn't have busybox. now i installed it and su and it still won't work. i tried to relock the phone with galaxsim unlock but it won't. i was able to relock before. any idea why, or how to solve the problem?

[Q] Is my phone bricked?

I was running AOKP m1 on my GT-i9100 (rooted with CWM Recovery).
Phone ran out of juice last night now won't boot, and recovery seems corrupted (won't boot into that now).
When I go into ODIN MODE the phone appears in ODIN ok, but fails to upload anything.
Do I need to get a USB jig to resolve this?

I suggest you first plug it in for an hour and then try booting into recovery.
If that doesn't help, take out the battery for two minutes and try again.
If u can get into recovery after this, do a full wipe (cache, dalvik and data) and reboot.
USB Jig just puts ur phone in Download mode mate. Since u already can get into that mode, just flashing via Odin will do.

I can't boot into recovery, I get the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I did wipe all cache when I could previously access recovery, but phone would not boot and since then will not boot recovery.
When I have tried to flash in ODIN no files seem to be transferred.

Stuff to try when Odin flash fails:
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windows.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windows task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Run Windows Update.
And if all this fails, try a different PC. If it won't work first time on the other PC, go thru the above steps with that PC.

Tried all that, still no joy. Perhaps it needs re-partitioning? Presume I need a .PIT file for that and it is more risky?

The firmware I am trying to put on is what I got from Sammobile, the latest JB from Samsung. I had flashed it previously in Mobile Odin and it worked just fine. It just seems that nothing is actually being transferred to the device, no bar or anything.

Also, how long should flashing from Odin take? I don't have a benchmark to compare. The ROMs I have been using have been flashed through recovery without issue up to now. I haven't had the need to use Odin before.

You can see the log in lower left pane in odin, inside a white box.
Usually it takes around 2-3 minutes to flash a firmware.

I haven't but I can try. I am also looking to get some more firmware, any idea where to look? I have looked on here but the only links seems to use a dodgy download manager, and the links don't work anyway.
I thought perhaps just try to get a kernel flashed then recovery, then maybe flash a ROM but I can't find a kernel.
I have seen suggestions reflashing the bootloader, but I cannot find bootloaders either.

SGS2 Charge & SGS2 GT-I9100 freeze

Just to say at start i have searched EVERYWHERE but haven't seen anyone with exact problem.
I have added many contacts after the backup before rooting.
I have SGS2 (International, no brand) and it freezes at charging screen (with the battery when you put the cable in when it's off) and can boot in Download Mode. Now i know that i could wipe everything from my phone at i could get it back but i really need my contacts i have at the phone.
The phone is rooted and it suddenly didn't go further after closing Opera with exit (took a bit to close everytime) tried rebooting but can't get other than the screen saying "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100". I tried to get in Clock Work Recovery and it was successful and i think it was a half coincidence, because i can't get it working now.
I tried changing the battery and it had no effect i already saved a no wipe custom rom ready to be loaded from SD-card.
So i think the keys to get to CW Recovery is the last chance. Could you give me all possible ones because i haven't used it for a while.
Please help me XDA

U need the USB drivers for Odin to work. You get the drivers either by installing Kies or by installing the drivers themselves.
If you uninstall Kies, then you must either re-install it or the drivers.
If u have Kies, you must make sure all Kies related processes are killed in the Task manager.

I tried flashing the kernel and it now showed the "KERNEL" on the first block but it failed. And now i can't boot my phone. Is it now officially bricked? It does however recharge the battery with usb-cable and it gets a little hot after a while.
I think the bootloader is corrupted. You can repair it with a "usb jig or usb jtag".
Try this (download mode):
Try to get to download mode via pressing power+down+homekey. Download a official firmware and flash it via odin.

I think the bootloader is corrupted. You can repair it with a "usb jig or usb jtag".
Try this (download mode):
Try to get to download mode via pressing power+down+homekey. Download a official firmware and flash it via odin.

[Q] urgent*phone stuck at boot screen and cant access to recovery mode..

First of all i would like to apologize for my weak english..
Here's the situation...
i rooted my samsung galaxy s2 GTi-9100g with ressurection remix and i have cwm which i get it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934
and now i flashed it to thunderbolt rom which i get from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779094
i did wipe factory,davik, cache before i flash..i were stuck on the boot screen after i flash...
i search the forum and likely everyone were solved it by using recovery mode...
but the problem are i cant access to recovery mode and i can access to download mode only...
any advice for me to solve this??
As for solving, simply flash a stock firmware using Odin.
But first why not try taking out the battery for a few minutes, reinsert and try to enter recovery again?
