Guys, I tired to flash the s3 look and feel rom from the galasy s2 android development theard on my s2 and now it wont swtich on. It will boot in download mode but no recovery. when I connect it to power, the battery icon only comes on once and then it switches off. Sometimes the screen starts flashing.
Could someone kindly advise how can I get around this?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If the phone boots only into download mode, that's still a good sign. Just use the Odin tool and flash the new ROM. I know that doesn't help but need to stay calm and find the proper images.

You've obviously flashed it incorrectly or onto a incompatible rom or device variant. Next time read before flashing.
thanks guys,
do I flash a new kernel using odin? if yes, which one?
Thanks again.
Any one you want. Download a stock ICS or GB ROM from sammobile.com, and flash through Odin. Lucky you didn't brick your device, READ TWICE, FLASH ONCE.
Chris.
You should also confirm what model phone you have. Look on the label under the battery. What does it say for model?
flashing the stock firmware is the best option .. that solved my problem in the past .
flash the stock rom using odin . That is the best way to revive a bricked phone .
Oh good lord I hope this guy actually has an i9100.
I do have s2 i900. I am downloading I9100XXLPH.zip as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Is this ok? or do I need stock rom/kernel? if yes, could you advise where I could get that from?
Thanks

I was trying to update my frimware to ICS using Odin PC and it failed during the process, I still can access the download screen but every time I try to flash the new rom it fails, so any ideas on what I can do?

You want to flash a ICS ROM for GT-I9100G.
So, you are sure that you have this model?!
Then have a look at this thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619571
Good luck !

Where did you get this other version? What is the file name?
The reason I ask: the version you used in your screenshot in post 1 is for an i9100G. You said you have an i9100.
Firmwares and kernels are not compatible between the i9100 and the i9100G. So if you are using another i9100G firmware, that is probably why it is failing.

Wow, I didn't notice that, thanks for noticing that
Now I've " I9100UHLPP_I9100UHLPG_I9100UWALP5_HOME.tar.md5 " yet odin failed to flash it and I had to use bootloader to make the device work again.

Alternate kernels? You do know you have an X2 correct? SBF if possible and keep away from whatever you were flashing.

im a noob here but did you check if you had the brick bug ? im on 4.0.4 and i had it . did you flash a different kernel first ? a lot of the 4.0.4 have this bug !
I can get to recovery and download mode both and tried to restore to factory data but didnt help...
No I didnt check that yet. How can I do so? I used the "XWKDD_insecure" which I used before on 4.0.3 and worked well before...

XWKDD is Gingerbread, 2.3.5, I believe. It would never work on 4.0.3.
EDIT: just went and looked - XWKDD is 2.3.3, actually. Even older.
You can download and flash something like the latest Speedmod K3 kernel, which should get your phone up and running, and even root it.
EDIT 2: I see by your activity you are currently reading the thread [GUIDE] And then there was ROOT !... well, at the very top of that thread it reads in big bold red letters:

Than I probably remembered wrong...
anyway I did everithing exactly the same way as it is posted here: technoxone.com/mobile/android/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-easy-steps
Please is there anyway I can just get my phone working again?
So I should do exactly the same thing with odin as I did before with the old not working kernel just this time use the Speedmod K3 kernel?

If you made a backup, you need to go into recovery mode and restore it from there.
