Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!
Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it. Things that are wrong with it - when you turn the phone on it just comes up with samsung Galaxy S2 gt-19100 with a yellow triangle under it, it wont go any further. I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this.
Thanks
1). Check under battery for exact model number
2). Download a stock ROM for the model you find
3). [optional but recommended] check the battery level and if necessary charge in another phone to make sure it's not going to die while doing the next step
4). Flash a stock ROM via Odin
5). If it doesn't boot, go to recovery and factory reset

Hi, thanks for ur reply Oinky. Where would i find a stock rom? I am completely new to this sorry, and under Model, it just says GT-19100, is the bit below anything to do with it aswell, SSN: -19100GSMH? Also at the min i cant get into recovery to do a factory reset? Again sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the reply
You can find stock ROMs http://www.samfirmware.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, the latter having a tutorial too.
Are you sure you can't get into recovery? Your first post made me think you were getting into download mode and thinking that was recovery. Vol Up + Home + Power (from off)

Hi, sorry for confusing, when i hold vol up home and power it dosnt do anything, just turns the phone on, well to the screen it wont go past! Also how do i no which stock rom to choose? what letters should i be looking for?
I think you're still doing it wrong then, as I don't think there even exists a kernel for this phone which doesn't have recovery. Hold volume up and home, then also hold power for about five seconds.
Regarding stock ROM, just pick the latest for your region (presumably XEU if by o2 you mean UK o2).

Flashing literally any I9100 kernel, be that stock or custom would still have recovery. I suspect the device is much worse off than first realised.
Once you flash the stock firmware the phone will boot up normally again.
Any firmware will work.
any ideas how i would fix a handset that is alot worse than 1st expected??

Follow the Odin method and you will be fine. As long as you have Kies closed (This includes the 3 kies apps that run in task manager!) there will be no problems.
Hopefully you will get a bargin on a new smartphone.
Well that didnt go well, it fails with odin3 after about 5 seconds, Should i just give up?
What error messages if any do you get? Screenshots or logs would help.

Trying out the S3 Toolkit. Works until I get to actually rooting, not being detected by Odin. Reinstalled drivers. Tried different USB ports and USB cord. I tried manually putting my phone into download mode, Didn't work. Tried to manually put phone in download mode, When I press volume down + power button I get,

Hitting the volume down + home + power does nothing for me. Any ideas? Phone is second hand, no idea what previous owner did with it.

Do you have usb debugging enabled in development settings? If so look at item 1 in my signature, the easiest and safest way to root mate. Takes about 1 minute

Turn off the phone. Then press volume down, menu and power button at the same time and you get in downloadmode.

Yes I am having the same issue, a friend of mine bought it online from a website for $ 180.00 and I rooted 3 tmo ones and they were very simple and easy.
The problem with this one is that the phone never get's to download mode not even with the jig.
When you hold Volume Down + Home + Power, it takes you to a different screen, I will try to upload a picture soon so that you guys can see what's going on.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is more information on the device.
Model number: GT-i9300
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: I9300XXLE8
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXALE9
Custom Build Version: V3G.12.07.20
Thanks in advanced hope to hear from someone soon to see if they are able to assist us with this issue.
Here that's the screen we get when we hold volume down + home + power button.
Any ideas how to get this phone into download mode?
Thanks again.

Seems like some custom software has been installed on the fone that has overwritten what is supposed to be there. Someone more knowledgeable than me would have to tell you how to get
rid of it. It would help to know where the fone is from.
First question has to be is this the International I9300 phone or some other model .

You can try the CF root as posted .
But if its not a I9300 then it may damage your clone .

the problem is that you can not even get in to download mode to do that, if you hold HOME+volum up+Power phone will go into recovery mode
and even in recovery mode no option can be selected

Best is to try to find a forum that deals with those clone phones to find a workaround if possible .

I wanted to install a new rom,I reboot my phone and I installed something what I found on my micro SD,I confused something with the file of new rom,and now it doesn't start, only what I see after 1 hour is the image of boot (Samsung Galaxy S II, like that image http://www.gophoto.it/view.php?i=htt...ootingsgs5.jpg)
What can I do to start my android ?
Sorry for my little english
it's pity....it's pity that you post your noob question in general forum.
about your "problem": do a wipe/factory reset from recovery, first of all. if your problem won't be solved then reflash any other firmware through odin
take your battery out, put it back
hold:
volume up + home + power, when GSII logo shows up release them, it will enter recovery mode
reflash your rom, kernel and stuff
if nothing works download odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278)
hold volume down + home + power, will enter download mode
from there you can flash stock ROM using odin. Take a look at the guide above.
post with more details next time.

afaik if it the screen turns on, even only for SII logo, you can enter download mode.
with the phone turned off hold vol down + home + power it will show a warning screen.
if you can't do that then take to samsung repair center, they know how to do it.

Man...U'd be kind as people tried to help u
Be sure u press buttons at phone off : power+home+vol down (together at same time & release just pow button while i9100 splash screen appears) >>>> it'll enter to download mode then u can advance to flash with Odin3 1.85 (this is the most compatible Odin w/ i9100).
if u couldn't access d/l mode by as per above make sure u've adb in ur PC, connect them by USB then type in adb terminal "adb reboot download" (without quotes) to enter d/l mode.
Neither means u've hardbricked ur phone..

If you look at the top of the general section there is a Question thread, more people monitor that thread than the main section. Posting there in future is best practice.
If your stuck at boot I would suggest removing the battery. Hold the volume+ volume- and the power button while reinserting the battery (this can be done with the help of a friend if needed)
The phone should go into download mode press vol- to confirm you want to risk your device by using odin. Doing the same but holding the vol+, home and power button then inserting the battery will take you to recovery.
One thing worth noting is having the usb lead connected at the time of pressing the buttons can (sometimes) stop it working properly as the device goes to charge as a priority. Also did you remember to wipe the Dalvik cache as a hung boot screen could be the device memmory is too full and it did not finish the install due to this.
If no luck using this method then you can look up usb jig (I have never had to go this far)

Hello experts,
I am not able to get into Download Mode with my Mega 6.3 running stock Android 4.2.2!
What I've triedwith phone powered down)
* Vol down + Home + Power ---> phone vibrates, display comes alive from black to grey and gets black again and shuts down (buttons still pressed; if I release any one button, normal booting is the result)
* Vol down + Power ---> same as above
* battery out, Vol up + Vol down, connect with USB-cable to PC (with Odin running and tar-file inserted) ---> same as above but battery charging symbol appears
Any suggestions are very well appreciated!!!

Will your mega actually boot and run? If so I'd suggest, of your rooted downloading something like quick boot or another menu boot app that will automatically be reboot you into download mode. Also make sure when you hold the buttons that you hold volume down and home then press and hold power. Sometimes phones can be a bit wonky with button commands

You've gotta hold home and volume down,...then press and hold power usually hold all 3 for like 10 or so seconds until it reboots, keep holding and bam.
Again no succsess! If I hold Vol down + Home and then press Power (from Homescreen) the phone shuts down and stays that way no matter how long I press/hold the buttons... The moment I release the buttons the phone boots normal!
I tried other buttons:
Vol down & up ---> phone starts in "Secure Mode"
Vol up ---> phone starts in "Recovery Mode" (can I use this mode for rooting?)
I am absolutely frustrated... but thanks for your help!!!
It all sounds quite a lot like a problem that I have. My screen broke and when the phone came back from service, my download mode was gone. It turned out that it was just blank graphically. One problem is that that when you enter download mode normally, you let go of the buttons when you see the graphics. If you keep pressing the buttons, then the device restarts after a while. I wonder if you can time it so that you enter download mode ( if your problem is the same as mine) and then press power and then volume up (the normal way to set download mode to receive flash) and then see if Odin recognizes the phone? I ordered a JIG to see if that would give me graphics in download mode, but it didn't. It worked the same way as the "blind key combo" so I tried flashing despite no graphics and it worked as it should. It felt a bit scary flashing through a broken download mode but I did it... That's my story
You can use Wanam Xposed (you have to be rooted and have installed Xposed Framework). In Wanam -> System you will find future 'Enable 4 way reboot menu'. Tick it and in 'Power switch menu' under 'Restart' you will find 4 Reboot options:
- Reboot
- Recovery
- Hotbot
- Download
It could resolve your problem, at least temporarely.
Of course there will be not 'download mode graphic' either but you can be sure so you are REALLY in download mode
Ullebear stated that his/her phone is not routed, so maybe Kingo root would be a good idea. I haven't tried it but I'm fairly certain it does not require you to be in download mode for the rooting process. Xposed and Wanam-stuff can be applied after that in order to more easily reach download mode without having to time the button pressing combo.
Please ullebear, let us know how it goes. I'm really curious about whether your problem is of the same nature as mine.
Kingo Root is working flawlessly on Mega GT-I9205, I have checked it myself.

Normaly you have to push volume up to continue but not with the jig you go straight into download mode.
Hello everybody...
In fact my phone wasn't able to go into "Download Mode" after getting it back from a repair of my display! I guess the authorized Samsung repair changed something in the firmware which always gave me a blank screen after pressing the correct button combination...
As suggested, I tried to go blindly into "Download Mode" by pressing Vol Up at the blank screen, but it didn't work
So here finally my solution (Kingo Root was too "suspicious" for me):
I ordered a USB Jig via Ebay compatible with Samsung Galaxy S2, S3 and Note (Mega was not listed as a supported type) for 2 bucks.
I powered down the handy and inserted the Jig ---> blank screen (but I hoped it would be the "blanked" warning screen before "Download Mode").
I pressed Vol Up, opened Odin, disconnected the Jig and connected the Mega via USB with the PC.
From there everything went smoothly Phone was recognized and I was able to root with installation of SuperSU!
Thanks for all you help - you are a great forum with very helpful members!!!
By the way: I am from Germany and my phone came preinstalled with French firmware!
