Hello,
Firstly, sorry for my poor English.
I've broken my s2 entire screen (shows nothing) and i am planning to repair it. I still have a warranty on this phone, but i am afraid, that that guy, who will be repairing my phone will see, that i have custom binary count:2. My question is: can i reset that counter without USB jig?
Best Regards,
Eduard.
Depends on what firmware u have.
There is an app called Triangle Away that can reset the counter on ICS & JB. But it requires root, and you would need a working screen to use it.

Why not try this thread to see if you can borrow a Jig:

U can make a USB Jig also. See here:

Hey guy's. I just tried to unroot my phone using this webpage:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124391
I dont really know what happened, but the ROM was flashing for about an hour and a half. I kinda got angry and I took the USB cable out of the Samsung galaxy s 2. On odin it said that the flash of the ROM failed( I took the cable out).
And now i CANNOT get into download mode.
Will the USB jig help me with my problem? Or is there another method I can try ?
Can someone please help me out and maybe give me a suggestion on how to get my phone into download mode so that I can flash back that ROM.
Thank you.
Same problem
Even am facing the same problem. Wish any expert could help us
Have u tried entering recovery mode?
If you can't enter either recovery or download modes, then I guess u will need a Jig.

U don't necessarily need an insecure kernel to root now. Try this method:

If you prefer getting an insecure kernel, here is Chainfire's thread:

Read it in detail and choose your kernel.

Thank you.. :thumbup:
It could be because of all the flashing u did previously.
I dont know if it will solve your problem, but maybe u can try flashing a wipe script that will remove all unwanted files and prepare your phone for a new ROM...

On second thought, don't try that. That would require you to root and install CWM.
Have you tried doing a factory reset before and after flashing via Odin?

YES I use a kind of metalic case.
I have tried several modems with no success...
i have bought it from a person, so i dont know if he had update it from ics :/
before buying this s2 ; i have a s1 ( i9000) and i have 5 bars at home :/
Try without the case.
Try another sim (maybe ur sim is faulty or outdated).
Try backing up and factory reset.

My I9100 is not recognised by odin when i connect my phone in Download mode.
I was using official spanish jelly bean rom on my phone but wanted to return to stock rom, first i did a factory reset and cache wipe then tried to connect to odin in download mode but it won't turn yellow.
I did a search and tried
-Closing all kies apps
-restart-remove battery of the phone and laptop
-re-install drivers for windows
-Try on a different pc
-Try on different usb ports
What can be the problem ?
Which version of Odin are u using?
Have u tried other odin versions?

I have odin 3, i think 1.85 is the version number.
I will try other versions yet this version was working just fine a couple of weeks ago.
Also try disabling any antivirus or firewall too.

Come to think of it, u can also use Mobile Odin instead of Odin. Less fussy and more safer!

Heimdall is an alternative to Odin.
You can root ur phone using ur stock recovery also (provided u have an external SD card). That way u can flash via Mobile Odin.
