So you selected "repartition"?
He forgot to flash the pit file I guess, and that saved his device.

That's forced download, it's like download mode, but in this case, your phone is begging you to flash something.
As I said before, you need to tell us what phone you've got in order , for us, to tell you what you oughtta flash.

That exclamation mark error is telling something bad has happen with earlier flash, ie unfinished flash, corrupt files etc. Back in the old days people usually use usb jig to force phone into nornal download mode again. That happen to me once and what i did is remove battery, hold the three button combination for download mode and while still holding those buttons, force reinsert the battery. Phone should boot into download mode and should be detected by pc and can be flashed via odin. Good luck with it

Hello i have an sgs2 from At&t and i was trying to root but was unsuccesful and now i have this message on my screen when i turn it on " Frimware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I could use any advice or help. I have search and tried alot of things but no luck. Please thanks.
What method did u use to root?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
i used the "how to easily root your sgs2" method using odin. I tried to use the recovery through kies but it asks for a code and it wont connect to my phone.
It sounds like your phone is still half functioning. Try booting into recovery,
With the phone off hold down both volume keys and power button until you see the first screen, then let go of the power button.
If it's stock recovery you'll be able to do a factory restore(wipe). If CWM choose wipe data factory reset.
After rebooting it might work.
Worst case you can put it back in download mode and try odin again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
If you can't get it into download mode you may have serious issues.
Might need to build a usb jig or buy one.
Contemplate a return.
If you tried everything, and I mean everything to get it into download mode, i.e. jig, "adb reboot", then neither can they. Can't see anything you did.

You never did tell us what KIES has to do with ROOTING ?
I would definitely flash back to stock. Stock will never further mess it up. Not to mention there is the stock rom that's prerooted. By using that one you won't get a yellow triangle on boot. Nor will the counter go up from changing the kernel.

If he downloaded an international rom then he can't use the stock recovery as the power button on the international roms aren't the select key. They have an actual hardware button to select. I found that out the hard way.

That is probably true cuz i downloaded a 1900 or something odin file to get back to stock but it was not the right one as i now know it should have been I777.

At least you got download mode working. With that working there should be no issue about fixing your phone.
Just keep in mind depending on if "everything flashed from the international version you possibly will also need to flash the right modem.
I wouldn't worry about that until you got the phone up and working.
It's best to keep each step as simple as possible, especially for the first time you're trying it.

Not good. I wish I could offer more help. At least it didn't stop at flashing the bootloaders.
There's not too much you can do at this point. You can try waiting seeing if it changes.
You can hope if you do unplug it that you can get it back into download mode. Then try odin again. Though I'd make sure the checksum of the download matches up to make sure it downloaded properly.
No one wants to be the one to say unplug it in the middle of an odin procedure, but if no progress is being made after a reasonable amount of time, there's not much left to do.

Crap my friend doesnt have an SD card. he only has internal. How can he put a ROM in the phone?
Do you havea link to a thread? I can't find anything how to fix a soft brick.
Ima try this
Part 5: De-brick
1. First thing you should do is to try access CWM recovery (see above), then either restore a previous nandroid backup you made, flash a working rom that's on your sdcard, or put a working rom on your sdcard via your PC 's card reader and flash.
2. If you can't fix it via recovery, then put your phone into download mode. Flash a stock rom via Odin (see above)
3. If your Note won't turn on at all, you may be facing a hard brick.
4. You can also purchase a mini-usb jig which will put your phone into download mode even when above methods fail. I personally bought this one for $1.60 shipped. But basically any jig for the Galaxy phones should work.
That shouldn't matter, did you try going into download mode? If you can't then you need to by a jig, they aren't that expensive or you can make one yourself!

Yup - get yourself a USB Jig from ebay - can be had for a couple of pounds/dollars/euros so defintiely worth trying before sending it off.
Also, have you tried leaving the battery out for a couple of mins - I'm sure I've read here of members not being able to get into download mode but then after a battery pull they could and so managed to reflash via odin.

Hi,
To preface this, I have never posted on a forum before as I have always been able to find people with similar problems. However, this time I am stuck.
I had my I777 rooted and running the Task650 aokp JB rom. Everything was working great. Then I decided to get greedy and tried to dual boot an ICS rom in order to get MHL capabilities. (Shostock ICS) I used this thread as a guide. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890274) I did not realize that it was for the Note 2, not the S2...
However, I think I still could have gotten myself out of trouble if my phone had not run out of power during installation. The phone abruptly shut off, and when it came back on, the Samsung logo appeared for a second before slowly fading out to a distorted white screen. I cannot get into recovery mode, it only shows the white screen when it is plugged in, and my computer will not recognize it. (I should note that computer never recognized it when it was running jelly bean, but I never bothered to fix it.)
I took the battery out overnight and tried it in the morning. no change. I left it plugged in all day, this caused it to get very hot and I quickly unplugged it.
I have posted a YouTube video that briefly shows the boot loop and the white screen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEuR3qn9Grs&feature=youtu.be
The most recent fix I have tried was ADB Portable, but my computer did not recognize the phone.
I'm out of ideas and desperate. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

Ok, thanks. Just ordered a jig. Will update when it gets here. Does it matter if the stock firmware is GB or ICS? I cant remember what it had on it before I flashed the JB rom.
Doesn't matter...GB or ICS. Whichever u want to choose.
Just don't do a wipe data/factory reset on the ICS firmware i777ucle5 with the stock le5 kernel, because of the potential eMMC brick bug. See the stock firmware threads for more info. And yep, keep us posted on what happens.

OK OK guys yesterday I was deleting some bloatware apps that came with my phone like hangouts,books, talkback ,samsung apps stuff that I don't need.etc
in that time i had switched my phone off around 4 times and switched it back on from when I deleted those apps and now and there was no problems in the system. BUT when I was playing a game (you know how the screen automatically dimmers then the screen went black) that's what happened so i pressed the home button to get the screen on and when i did the lock screen patternmfroze for a long time so I took out the battery than but it back in and switched my phone back on but now it just comes up with 'samsung galaxy ace GT-s5830i' and im not sure what to do. it can go in to recovery mode but i don't have CMW clockwork recovery. when i charge it comes up with the battery icon. I think it is in a boot loop. and I don't think it covers my warranty because ive had to send that phone back TWICE now back to fix it so I think they wont fix it any more. I have factory data reseted it and cleared the cache partition but still no use. I have taken the battery alot of times now and taken the sim card and the micro sd card but no use.
