Get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it, re-root your phone, restore nandroid backup (in the unlikely event that you have one), or start again with the custom rom and/or kernel of your choice.
P.S - Stay away from Rom Manager.

I've rooted my Samsung galaxy S2 two months ago and I used PhilZ-cwm6-XWLPY-VIA-2.7 kernel. This morning it asked me for software update and I accidentally clicked yes. Now it's just flashing, I can't turn it off, I can't go to the download mode, and it's happening when I'm charging it.
I'm not sure if I have all data written somewhere because it's been two months ago and I didn't expect it to happen again.
Can someone please help me?

I don't think you can into recovery? Try pulling out your battery and hold power for 10 seconds. Put battery in and try booting into something
Otherwise an usb jig?

First it was again green droid with blue bar blinking every two seconds, but after doing what you wrote I managed to get into recovery mode, thank you
Do you think that I should install the same kernel now or should I change something else in order that this doesn't happen again?
Thank you

I don't think the kernel is compatible with the updated rom. So you're probably better off with a different kernel.

Can I use this guide for getting everything back to stock? I made a thread about this problem I had HERE. Since then I found out that the battery was very bad so now im back on the stock battery. You can see I had siyah kernel and supernexus rom. What happens when i insert the battery is that it boots the factory reseted rom, and i have to install an app to make me go into download or recovery mode, dont know the difference, since the power button doesnt work. Anyone know how I can get out of this situation?
I really want to get everything back to stock android firmware and touchwiz like it was before rooting. Then I can sell the phone since I have one x+ now. Thanks!!!
Buy or make a USB jig. Use it to force ur phone into Download mode. Then flash using Odin.
I suggest you use guides available here on XDA. That way, we can help you better.

I updated my Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 to Jelly Bean via Kies. It worked fine for 10 days and yesterday night when I was switching Wi-Fi off, it hanged. So I pulled off the battery and after that it got stuck on boot screen. I am able to get in to download mode but not to recovery mode. I flashed the phone with Official JB rom available at sam mobiles using Odin but the problem still persists. Can someone help me in reviving my phone
Had u done factory reset after flashing the update?
Since u have download mode only, ur only option would be to flash a stock firmware via odin.

Sorry, read ur first post really fast. Didn't notice that u already flashed stock JB!
If u can't get recovery mode, flash a stock ICS 4.0.3 firmware. Then, get into recovery and factory reset. That should help u boot.
Once you do that, you can either flash JB using odin again, or u can root the ICS and use Mobile Odin app to flash JB.

Just quickly, if you got it on January, are you still under warranty? If you are, save yourself some trouble and take it back under warranty, assuming you've never messed with (rooted etc) your phone? There's things to try but warranty is there for a reason.

Had the same problem, seemed like a NAND corruption to me on my phone since the progress bar on the main boot logo screen was slow and was stuck half the way, which otherwise used to slide pretty quickly, indicating that the phone is having trouble reading from its NAND flash.
Before the corruption I was running RootboX 4.1 with Dorimanx Kernel 9.38.
Was all prepared to do the ODIN flashing with latest firmware for my country, kernel and possibly a PIT flash with repartition , if in case else would have failed.
However to my skeptic mind a pretty safe suggestion read here somewhere on a thread, appealed for a while, and I was amazed to see the power of hunches.
Someone reported to have restored back his set, by SIMPLY taking the battery out and leaving it naked overnight. I did the same thing last night, and guess what, sipping the morning tea, I inserted the battery again and VOILA, its ALIVE....its ALIVE.....like any other FRANKENSTEIN defying all boundaries of logic.
So someone else in the same fix, should try it at first before jumping in the ODIN waters.
Lets see for how long does it lives, which TOUCHWOOD should be for a long time, till i save enough to a buy the S4 or Note3.
Cheers.
S2 stuck at boot screen. need some help
Hello everybody,
I'm new here and came here because of a problem with my Samsung S2.
Never rooted, original updates with KIES, android 4.1.2
Two days ago i woke up and the s2 was off and didn't restart. At first it was in a splash screen loop and i could get in recovery mode tried the factory reset but it got stuck in there to... After waiting for about an hour i pulled out the battery to restart it but then it didn't get any further than the boot screen. Couldn't get into recovery mode but could get into download mode. Searched the android forums for hours and came across this post. followed several possible solutions but now i'm stuck again, nothing did the trick... Hope you guys are willing and able to help me solve this thing.
What have i done so far:
Downloaded the original firmware for my device: I9100XWLSW_I9100XXMS3_I9100ITVLS2_HOME.tar
Downloaded ODIN v3.07
Updated KIES and after restarting pc stopped all the kies processes.
Started Odin without cable connected to the S2, selected the firmware, got the S2 into download mode, connected S2 to the Pc.
Odin recognizes the comport pressed start and can see that Odin gets stuck at NAND write start!!. first it says boot in white and after about 5min got the red fail.
Tried it different times with the same result.
Went on reading this tread and cam across the possible solution to firs flash kernel (in my case i've used Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar), go to recovery mode, factory reset and wipe and then flash original firmware again.
Same problem ODIN gets stuck at NAND write start!!
Detail: on the S2 during all this i''ve never seen a progress bar or any other movement, However although every attempt failed, when i go in to download mode now it says
Custom binary download: yes (2 counts) -my attempts to flash kernel with Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar
Current binary:custom
And at the boot screen i get the yellow triangle...
I'm stuck! :silly:
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Made some screenshots:
So because this is my first post they are attached to this post.
You've been pretty thorough so far. Search for Hopper 8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread, try all the stuff in the thread, particularly flashing the 3 part firmware. That's the only way you're fixing it yourself. Could be NAND corruption, but most of these cases are fixed by perseverance (for example, the first 7 times you try flashing stock firmware it doesn't work, but the 8th flash does for whatever reason), sometimes it's something really small/obvious tripping you up that can be a bit hard to figure out if you've trying to fix it for hours/days. Hopper's thread should enable you to try everything you possibly can to fix it.

Thanks MistahBungle... I'll go and try that... I'll reply here if it worked.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345831. If it doesn't, it's a motherboard replacement job. I very much recommend you flash as many stock firmwares you can download (10, 20, whatever), because the alternative is expensive/means getting a new phone.
my phone froze after factory reset at the "samsung galaxy sII gt-i9100" screen. it has 4.1.2 update via kiess and is rooted. i tried a factory reset and selected usb formatting as well. it restarted and the screen was frozen at that screen for 15 mins till i removed the battery and restarted. still frozen at the same screen. will not start. i can enter the download menu or what it is called (volume down home and power) but i can't enter the other menu (the one with volume up home and power) it freezes at the same screen.
can anyone please help me step by step to reinstall using odin if possible my original version (it was 4.1.2 romanian from orange) or the 4.2.2 (one that you guys know to work on s2)
i would like to try to install the 4.2.2 version to see how it works, but just for warranty purposes i would like to download the original version too (if anyone knows where i can find it)
it's my first rom install so if you can make the explanation as step-by-step as possible i would appreciate it. meaning were to download the files i need for this. i don't know if i am allowed to ask for that on the forum but like i said this is the first time i'm trying to do this.

As of now 4.2.2 is not available officially. You get custom roms based on AOSP. So many Samsung apps and features will be missing in them. You do get the stock vanilla feel of pure Android though.

Most custom roms are flashed via custom recovery (you have to be rooted for that). You can install CyanogenMod 9 Resurrection version via Odin.
You can find many 4.2.2 roms in the development section.

Broher this guide only for soft brick phones not for NAND rw corrupted phones
And the only way to 'fix' a stuffed NAND ? Replace it/the motherboard. You won't find any miraculous fix for this here or anywhere else.
Seems that every single soft brick means corrupted nand lately.
It's massive hysteria, install kies and try pc/laptops/cables/usb ports.

Exactly. Either they're not trying all the things they've been told to try (highly likely)/not doing something really obvious or small, or the phone is cactus (less likely).
