Hello everyone
I have in my possession a Bricked Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, tried to restore as I usually Firmware via Odin with i9100XXKL1 reaching only to the kernel. Can anyone give me a hand?
I've tried with Odin 3.4 coming to the same result, I changed the USB cable (all I have are originals), I tried on 3 computers, all with the same result.

I have left the following message when you turn on the phone after wanting to upgrade "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" (is the explanation that a friend gave me, the team is his, I thought I could give him a hand and he had had a similar situation on my Galaxy S2, which solved .)
As I have already downloaded firmware, full package proceeded to try to flash it with ODIN reaching it in the picture, then odin and not advance, usually gives error, but more than that I failed.
I can't see the pictures you posted but i'm pretty sure there's a couple of threads that can help you sort this one out.

I think Kies is not the problem because I tried on 3 different computers, and also tried on all ports of each computer.
How about the cable then?

@OP:
Time to start over again. There must be something wrong in what you are doing.
Here is a checklist of stuff to try when Odin flash fails:

Please try each and all, and see if u can flash successfully.

I guess this question is asked over and over again and it pretty much pisses you guys off, but i fail at finding some guide or something that gives me the confidence to start the process.
Some days ago i upgraded my samsung galaxy s II from Gingerbread to ICS and i got nothing but problems since then. My battery doesn´t last even 1 day, browser keeps crashing, and i cant find any feature that makes me wanna continue using such OS. So, if possible, i want to downgrade to Gingerbread, is there anyway to do this without having ANY problems with my carrier and keeping my warranty ? Searching a bit through google, i saw that this could be easily be accomplished by using ODIN, but i cant seem to find Gingerbread for my specific carrier and device...
My info:
Samsung Galaxy S II
Carrier: Personal
Current OS: ICS 4.0.3
PD: Can i downgrade from my carrier's ICS to an international gingerbread version without having any problem (this includes saving my warranty, etc). But if available, i'd like GB for my carrier.
Thanks a ton and sorry if this is asked a lot.

yes you can ...
I understand your frustration ..been there .......
I assumed you upgraded from kies ?
this page will help you lots http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826497
A noob with courtesy, wow it makes everything better.
The answer is yes, flash an unrooted ROM/Kernel with Odin.
Go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware you want and flash through Odin. (don't tick repartition or use a pit file unless you know 100% what you're doing)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Go to Samfirmware dot Com (you need to be registered to download roms) select your device model, country, carrier and download the rom.
Open odin,
put your phone in download mode and connect it. U will see a yellow indicator which means odin had recognized your device.
Select Pda and choose the .tar.md5 file.
Don't change anything unless you know what you are doing.
Click Start.
Process will be done in 2mins...
Make sure you have more than 50% battery when doing this.
Hit thanks if this was of use to you.

Also to improve your ICS experience its recommended to wipe cache and do factory reset.

Use any for Argentina if you prefer something for your country, but it doesn't matter in real. As for warranty purpose you would need to flash the one you had there when you bought the phone.
Yeah check here :

Just check your device and so on, there is a thread with carrier branded roms here on xda as well. Think it's intratechs thread

I know this probably has been asked too many times before, but I swear I searched for this specific issue and found no answer.
A friend of mine bought a SGS2 on swappa, it came with the ****ing triangle in the boot image and we paid no attention to it untill we tried to flash CM10 on it. <it is currently running cm7.
We tried the triangle away app and it displayed the "trouble parsing the package" then i read that this app works only on jellybean, my question is how do I upgrade andoid if Im not able to flash any rom on it.
Here are a couple of pictures so that you can have an idea of the errors im getting.

You are trying to install an i777 ROM (maybe AT&T or T-Mobile) to an ordinary i9100. Download the proper ROM and install it.

Also. Here's a word of advice. That screen can be on i777 or 9100.

Fail... twice. T-Mobile doesn't have I777s and that triangle is for tripping the flash counter. It could be an I9100 or an I777.
OP: your issue is you haven't searched enough. The answer IS out there... ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Here's a clue. Read the fu¢king stickies. Yes, a bit of emoragekill. Why? Because you haven't put more then 45 seconds into finding the answer. It took you longer to create this thread than you spent searching.
I gave you the answer. This thread has run its extremely unnecessary course.

Pull the battery and make sure which phone you have. Go to that forum and look for a 'stock rooted rom' and follow those instructions. Then you should not have a problem flashing cm10 (if it is available)

Ok so I flashed seriyah kernal. I failed to write "Complete(Write) operation failed." in odin and then it said to reccont to kies and because of osmehting blah blah but i just relfahsed and now it is working fine again (4.1.2). but the problem still persists of me not being able ot flash seriyah.
Killed kies applications before you flashed?

I just can't understand why people ask for the exact file to flash, instead of trying to find out for themselves.
From what I see, its not that hard to find what ur looking for, unless ur too lazy to go through all the search results! And you can always double check with other members on whether ur doing stuff right or not.
If someone suggests you flash something, and you do it without knowing why or how, ur back to where u were before asking.
Believe me, the fun is all about learning what ur doing and why ur doing it. So after u have solved ur issue, u have not just helped ur device, u have helped urself too..
Just my 2 cents..

This link should help, it gives a step by step guide: http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-root/
Using search button "root sgs2 4.1.2" . U should watch for a kernel

Word of advice....don't go offsite for rooting methods....other sites get their info here, and if not, it probably shouldn't be trusted anyway.
And for rooting....visit the PhilZ thread....search the thread for the kernel that matches your firmware and download the ZIP version. This can be flashed in the stock recovery....without Odin. ....
Not sure how? Search function will help......

Aha, ive just updated though, i really don't want to have to go through the trouble of setting everything up again -.- took me long enough to find the drivers for my wireless adapter xD
I'm not sure if you're stock or not, and if the setting is different for stock, but try settings>storage>menu button>USB computer connection.
Make sure this first option is checked.

Should mention then, im on 4.1.2.
I do not have the option to enable or disable anything like that, infact, i can't press menu in the storage section? Nothing happens?
You are in the wrong forum this is not I9305 q&a
Have you flashed I9300 firmware ????
this sounds like damaged USB port on Phone or damaged firmware .

Too be honest, i think this is an I9305 forum as well,l it says "> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Charging, but PC doesn't recognise it"
The mobile is two days old, first time ive touched the port.
