Unfortuntely I have messed up my UK Galaxy S2 I91000G.
Id successfully rooted using this method and installed Neat ROM.
Happily used this for a while and then decided to play and installed Blazing kernal
The problems then started. It simply booted to the Samsung S2 screen and hung. I couldnt get in to Recovery mode.
Got it in to to Download mode and despite trying methods here Im not getting much luck. I can flash a kernal using Odin. Tried official ones and CWM and they install fine. The phone reboots and I get to the Galaxy S2 screen with the yellow warning triangle.
However whenever I try and flash a ROM it fails. Tried official ones from the fixit thread plus others. All the same outcome.
Is there a bootloader I can try or anything else I can do before I trash it?! Any help much appreciated.
So....flashing a kernel is a pass and flashing a ROM is a fail?
That's a new one.

Oh. Thats not good news!
That does seem to be whats happening:
Flash a kernal - Pass and phone reboots and I get the S2 screen with warning triangle.
Flash a ROM - Fails and back to "Firmware upgrade encountered a problem. Connect phone to Kies."
Flash a kernal again and back to S2 screen.
Any ideas?
Yes, can you get to CWM?
Don't worry, you're alright.

Cant get in to CWM no.
Can only get it to get in to Download mode.
Tried a couple of different PC's and cables but assuming as kernal flashing works, that isnt the issue.
And you are flashing I9100G stock ROMs right?
Check your model under the battery, G version in the UK? Weird.
While you do that download another ROM, maybe the ones you got are corrupted.

Install syiah kernel and try to get into recovery. Then use wiperom script or go to mount and format everything (/data, /system etc). Then go to download mode and flash a system.
First thing check if syiah kernel is compatible whit your phone.

So the one comment that made me realise what a complete noob I really am was "G version in the UK? Weird."
So that was the basis for all my woes. I had ventured in to the I9100G section when I have I9100.
Downloaded the stock ROM for I9100 and all back up and running.
Mucho thanks to gastonw for his quick responses and patience for those of us just dippping their toes and not reading what they should.

None of the other posts I have read really seemed to answer what exactly happened to my phone.
I recently rooted my GS2 using ODIN and everything went over perfectly .
I noticed soon after that when the phone was turned on, the Samsung screen would appear, have a yellow triangle with an '!' in it, and also say I9100 (Which was the immediate give away something wasn't right).
Before I could do anything to the phone to fix the issue, the phone shut off on me, and now won't turn back on.
I have tried booting into recovery and download modes and can't get past the initial screen. The phone also will not charge.
When I connect it to the PC, it is recognized as a Samsung device, but not in ODIN.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
After troubleshooting, I gained access to download mode. Reflashed, and everything is okay.
Also that i9100 screen with the yellow triangle is normal. There are posts about how to remove the triangle by flashing a stock kernel or you can buy a jig on ebay.

please don't give information unless you know enough about the issue. Its awesome to try and help. But if you end up costing someone more time and aggravation by guessing or not knowing if you're right or not its almost better to let someone else field the question. As previously stated there's an app that fixes this.

Yupp exactly
Hi guys..Sorry for use this thread to expose my case. Yesterday late, I intended to replace the kernel in my Galaxy2 and I don't know why the phone do not pass over the original screen (see attach). No access to Recovery or Download mode is available. I tried to unroot and start again all the process when I felt a soft brick in the pass, but still no access to Download mode that permit me to access via ODIN and reinstall kernel and recovery to solve the problem.
Any suggestions??
ROM Task JB latest release 0830
Dream Kernel
EDIT. After a long fight with my phone using ODIN, Doomroot and other tools, thanks God, it's solve. Thanks.

Are you sure your flashing the right ROM for your device? Bare in mind that you've got an I9100G phone.
I refuse to help on the basis you cant be bothered to use a real topic title.
Sorry about my Thread title as you can see it was my first thread ill do better with my title on my next thread. Anyways if someone has a link to a website/thread where i can download roms for my GT-I9100G i would be forever grateful. Thanks.

Topic titles should be descriptive not silly generic ones like "hlp plz" that dont tell people browsing forum anything about topic.
To grab stock sammy firmwares for your device you can get them via http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/.
Just put the main rom file in PDA section of ODIN and flash it. Then go back into download mode and flash custom kernel, again via ODIN.
Or to get custom ones....

Thanks for the help! and the advice. I'll let you know if i get it to work.
Good luck with that.
I just recently replaced the USB flex cable in my galaxy s2 because it was playing up. After putting the phone back together I turn it on and now the phone will not boot. It gets to my carrier (optus) logo and then the samsung logo, and then it just does it again and again. Could it be the flex cable? Faulty? I have tried reflashing firmware through ODIN.
Thanks.
What version Android ? If you're running anything other than 4.0.4, boot into recovery & try a wipe/factory reset in the first instance. If you are running 4.0.4 (even tho the brickbug almost always only affects people who wipe via CWM, there have been some cases of it happening to people with stock recovery), don't wipe.
I'm running stock 4.1.2 from Optus.

So try a wipe in the first instance then.
For some reason I can't get into recovery mode. Volume up+Home+Power just goes to boot normally.

Are you sure you replaced the flex cable with the correct version.....there are 3 versions available for that part......

I purchased one from eBay. It said that it was compatible with the GT-I9100, but I'm not convinced it is working. I was counting on selling that phone...
Is there any way I could confirm my suspicions?

Have you still got the faulty board?
In very small printing (on the board) it'll say "GT-I9100 REV2.X" this will either be 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4....
You need to buy the matching board, or it won't function properly. .....

After spending all night wiping with no success, I opened up the phone again just to make sure everything was connected. I checked the 5 ribbon cables, and to my surprise; I only see four. I was sure that their was five, so I lifted up the board and what do you know, the fourth ribbon cable was tucked away underneath. Reconnecting it and wiping the phone through my now accessible recovery menu made the phone work like new.
Thankyou to everyone.

2 days ago, I recovered from a Softbrick (instalation aborted when installing Omega v23), now I'm on Stock 4.0.3 XXKPA and I'm looking for a compatible Siyah Kernel. I've made some searches (so please don't say i'm lazy coz I'm not), but I haven't found clear answers, if someone could give a clear answer it would be great

Ask in the Siyah discussion thread ?
Edit - There will obviously be a compatible version, I forget which off the top of my head.

I didn't, I'll ask now and see if someone answers
I imagine it will be one of the 3x versions (Had a look at all the Nandroid backups I have on my PC, I seemed to be using 3x versions with roms around that time). Tell you what, if you can at least find out what version you need (and make absolutely sure it's the right version, I'm only doing this once), I'll upload it here/attach it to a post.

Someone said that v5.0.1 is compatible, is it okay ?
Not sure. I stopped using it at 4x so I don't have any of the 5x kernels, you can get both 4x & 5x from Gokhan's DevHost space.

If I flash the wrong one, I'll not have a Softbrick ?
Yes. You'd think the worst that could happen would be bootloop, which you solve by flashing the right one. However, if it were me, I wouldn't flash anything until I knew for certain which version was which. Why the rush ?
Edit - Have been reading posts here which mention 3.3.2/3.3.3 & Android 4.0.3, which is what I thought in my first post in this thread. My recommendation in this post stands; don't flash anything until/unless you're 100% sure which version to use.

Hello, a few days ago i rooted my galaxy s2. I installed the multiwindow mods which turned out to be for a deodexed xxlsj(im dunning jelly bean xxls8) rom. After i installed it, a message android is upgrading showed up. Now every time i turn on/reboot my phone it shows anroid is upgrading and when i access the battery in the setting the phone freezes and reboots it sometimes gets stuck on the samsung galaxy sii boot screen so i have to restore the software for it to boot again.
Also i was thinking of installing neat rom, i have read that i should back up everything before i install a rom but it is in .zip so if a installed it through recovery would all my data be erased.

And your question is.....?
Oh, right, we don't even know what model you've got.
If it's an I9100, flash siyah v6 if you're on JB, siyah v5 if you're on ICS.
Flash a custom ROM via CWM.
That, pretty much, sums it all.
Sent from the little guy
Its a GT-I9100 and it's on jelly bean i think that it's obvious since i said i am using xxls8 which is the build of jelly bean. As for my questions, the first one is how do i remove android is upgrading that appears whenever i boot my phone? The second one is will installing neatrom from cvm delete my data too?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
To be honest, I didn't read your post carefully, but I assumed right.
You'll lose your data so back up before you flash.
Edit: you got all the process posted right above your previous post.
Sent from the little guy
Flash Siyah 6.0b5, boot into recovery, do a Backup, flash your custom ROM, hit the thanks button, ENJOY
He already has a back up.

By flashing a new ROM or by wipping cache and dalvik (not on 4.0.4 of course).

I've tried wiping dalvik cache and wiping the cache partition before but the ''android is upgrading screen'' is still present upon booting.So is my only hope installing a rom but what i'm afraid of i wouldn't receive the new 4.2.2 jelly bean update that may be released.
Don't worry about that, you can flash your country/region after you get back on your feet.
Sent from the little guy
You can already get 4.2.2 on your gt-i9100, just check out the "Galaxy S II Android Development" and "Galaxy S II Original Android Development" section for the ROMS
