Hi,
I have a samsung S2 GT-I9100G,
I was running ICS and a update came through.
I updated my fone and now its hard bricked itself.
The fone turned off to update and neva turned back on.
I dont know how it happened.
I download a Kernel_I9100XXLPH and with that i was able to get download mode working.
I've downloaded a few firmwares to download into the fone,but it just fails
After Reading through the forum i think i have a corrupted nand,
So i took my fone to the fone shop and they told me that they tried to flash it and it wouldn't work.
They advised me to get a new fone
Now ive tried using a few step By step for noobs to fix it, but i cant seem to get it to work.
Since i have a empty fone, i have been trying to download jelly bean into it.
Any help would be great.
Thanks Rafmed
You must have flashed a kernel/firmware meant for the I9100 mate!!
I think ur gonna need a motherboard replacement!

Hi,
Thank you for a reply.
I have been download firmware from the S2 section in XDA.
After reading the forum, that's what i have come up with also.
But i thought i might just ask anyway's before i give up.
Rafmed
The S2 section has firmwares and kernels for both I9100 and I9100G. But both phones have different hardwares and if you mix those files, you will brick ur phone.

Hi,
I did not notice that and will look into it. Thank you.
I already had iCS running, So i have no reason to want to play around with the fone.
I received a notice for an update and i accepted, After i did that the fone turned off and didn't turn on.
I removed the battery and tried to turn on the fone. nothing. After playing with it a sign came up saying that firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again.
But once i connect to kies, it doesn't recognize the fone.

Hi,
Thank you for your advise about the I9100 and I9100G.
I downloaded a I9100G Recovery and it has turned on.
The S2 is alive...
Thank you. Thank you...

You need to read a lot more mate.
Here's a good place to start.
Read this too.
BTW, stock recovery is a special mode in ur phone, while Odin is a software that runs on Windows.

Will give u a tip.
Search for 'Philz kernel'.
In the thread you find, look for the XWLSD zip version.
Save it to ur external SD card.
Flash that in stock recovery..

Ohh.. ok..
Flashing via Odin can fail due to a number of reasons, which is why I always suggest Mobile Odin for flashing and stock recovery for rooting.

Yup..
Only look for the section 'Flashing firmware with odin'. Don't follow anything else or download from there.
If ur scared to do that, use this guide:

1. Just download the firmware version you want
from the second or third posts and extract
the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it
somewhere
Thanks a lot mate. I really appreciate. But where do I download it from..... Sammobile? Sorry for the annoying questions.

Just like I thought! The thread u linked is meant for the T989 S2, not the I9100 S2. That is why it fails.
Simply download the correct firmware for ur device from sammobile.com and flash that via Odin.

PLus the other apps sites don't recognize the korean.
