i can enter download mod ... but when tried to flash stock rom .. odin stuck on setup connection !!!
and no i cant enter recovery or boot normally .. i flashed a worng recovery file by odin and this is how the problem happened
thanx 4 replying

i am not new to flashing with odin my friend .. its just i flashed files of l1900 instead of l9100g

Mistaking an I9100G ROM for a I9100 ROM is not an honest mistake.
If you don't consider yourself new to this at least double check your files and triple check xda's threads.

Ok....so you're sayin' that you checked xda and all users with a similar issue than yours could get to recovery mode?
You need to check your "searching" concept.
Of course, it's not your fault samsung released a device with a letter at the end, that is just common sense. Care to flash HTC one ROM into an HTC one x? I mean, it's the same right, who cares about the letter at the end.......
If you look up closely...you'll see that I was trying to help you, to read and learn before you go on borking is a hell of an advice if you'd ask me.

my dear u still dont get it ... my download mod is not the typical download mod ... my screen only shows "a cellpohne connected to a pc with triangle in the middle of the connection" ... when i "searched" on XDA ... i found out that such a screen is also a download mod .. but not the typical one ... and i think it useless since every time i try to flash some rom with odin it stuck on setup connection
and by the way its huuuuge difference between htc one and the htc one x ... they have different shapes
any way this is not our subject ... i really do appreciate your help and any help so much .. i mean this thread was created to help people right
thank u so much
regards

You are in forced download mode, so your device is begging you to flash something. When you get that screen plug your phone to the PC and flash a I9100 stock ROM.
In order for your pc to see the device reinstall kies and kill all applications before you start flashing.
Doesn't work?
Try another PC.

I am searching for 5 days sir and I did't get complicated process of rooting so pls if you could kindly help me to safely root my device ..
If you're scared/"don't want to take any risks..." don't mess with your phone in the first place.
If you're not prepared to search/learn basic stuff (like rooting) on your own, you run the risk of breaking your phone & voiding your warranty. Which means you'll end up paying to have it repaired.
Ill help because im feeling nice. Download Siyah kernel or CF kernel and put phone in download mode (turn off, hold power, vol - and home) get odin and click PDA and navigate to the kernel you downloaded. On the phone press vol+ and it will say download. Click start and you have a recovery. Then dowoad any rom and put on phone sd or normal memory. Turn phone off and then go into recovery (power + vol up and home) and do wipe data factory reset and then install zip and navigate to the directory where its downloaded. Once done reboot. Cheers.
Also use the search next time.

Also another crucial tip, until you dont change the kernal to siyaah, do not do any wipe actions in the recovery or you will certainly break your phone. Good luck

Hi. I dunno how my xperia mini st15i phone spoiled. It won't start up. Each time start up it just showed Sony logo and then jump into this screen which I uploaded. Can't get into any mode. all it just showed this screen. What's that? Bricked? Flashing can save it? Please help me. /.\

No download mode + no recovery + phone doesn't turn on = Hard brick
Sorry, but I guess Service Centre is the only way then. Let's hope some other member can help you with that. :fingers-crossed:

If you can test with a Jig, do it. But I doubt it can help you now. Re-partitioning with PIT files is a nasty business.
If the phone is under warranty, take it to a Service Centre and claim warranty (don't mention words like 'brick' or 'root' or 'odin'). Simply play dumb. Motherboard replacement is the sure way out of this.
If your warranty is over, you could try JTAG. But it may or may not work.
Or you could get a used S2 (with a broken screen or something) and swap motherboards. :good:

[Solved] Stuck on Siyah logo then goes all black!

hey guys, i just installed Siyah kernel on my S2. I'm on Resurrection Remix 4.0.6 Rom. installed it from recovery, rebooted the device then Siyah logo appears then goes all black can't access recovery nor download mode!!!
pls help I'm losing my mind
Mate.
RR is a 4.2.2 ROM which is based on AOSP or AOKP (not sure which)
The latest siyah for s2 only support samsung based ROMs which are at the moment 4.1.2
This one is on you for not reading sorry
This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM

I'm not very good when it comes to this, but if you're absolutely sure you can't access CWM Recovery or download mode - then i suspect hardbrick.
Which is quite odd, since i had flashed (about a year ago) a jelly bean ROM when i was on ICS - and all i got was bootloop.
meaning it's dead????!!!!!!!

No life out of the phone there isn't much you can do. Service centre = replace motherboard, or do it yourself with a 2nd hand one. Either way, you won't be recovering the data if you didn't back it up.

To make things clear, you could only reboot it once? Does it turn on now?? Or is it completely lifeless?
Have you tried connecting a USB Jig mate?
