thanks bro...for your quick reply sorry i used the spelling in short form i'm sorry for that. ya myself search lot of pages about fixing of soft bricked !!all i found is USB JIG is the only solution. do you know any other way to unbrick it ??
thanks again
I have done this, so this is what i'll say.
You can go into download mode, good.
First, get Odin for your computer.. version doesn't matter but take new one.
Find your stock firmware here (Odin is included when download this)
download.
Now go into download mode in your phone and connect a USB cable to computer.
Open Odin.
If you can see a yellow (or blue depending on which version) light, with "COM:" something written on it, then you're good to go.
Now this stock firmware you have, it will probably be a .tar or .tar.md5 (dont rememeber), put this in PDA. Make sure re-partition is UN-CHECKED
So now if the only thing that is checked is PDA and Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time then you can press "Start".
Now you can flash any custom ROMs. But always make a backup before! ----> And also backup your /efs folder after flashing custom anything!!!!!!!! <---- IMPORTANT

hey guys please help.
i think i bricked my phone galaxy s2 i9100.
odin is working ,cwm mode is working and even downloading mode is working.
this problem happened after i flashed slim ics rom yesterday 29-4-2012 on my i9100. the main problem behind it is that i'm not able to factory reset the phone.
whenever i try to factory reset my phone in cwm mode or recovery mode,my phone hangs.
i can format my phone through system /format.
i can wipe cache ,dalvik cache and battery stats.
i flashed many roms and kernels but even after flashing any rom or any kernel in my phone ,it doesnt work.
i installed these firmware and tried so that my phone starts working -
with odin
cm9
stock ics
stock gingerbread
lightening rom
through cwm recovery mode
slim ics
thebyani
resurrection roms
dynamic rom
hydrogen rom
kernels -:
siyah 3.1rc4 ,rc6, 3.1.2
cm9 remix
cf
speedmod
phenominal extreme
but nothing is working..
after any thin i flash only see is the GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 logo on my screen.
please guys tell me a way out..
if i flash a rom on my phone then binary count is not increasing but when i install a kernel then it increases. why so?
i can format ,mount ,unmount anything on phone but i cant format the user data or do a factory reset while doing that my phone hangs.
i even tried .PIT file with repartition ticked in the odin.
please tell me as if there is any hardware problem or just a normal problem?
now,
my phone says
cant access to /system/csc/SEK/system/'. in recovery
WHAT DOES IT MEAN ???
can any 1 help me?

wel u have a soft brick ma8 dont panic just dwnl a odin flashable stock GB rom and install the same
after that search the forum under samsung gs2 how 2 root ur phone with stock gb fallow the instructions and root ur phone
then select the ics rom like lightening rom and flash thru odin
every thing will be fine
Reading the post, seems like OP did flash a stock file (although ICS, not GB).
2 dumb questions just to confirm. You have the i9100? not the i9100G? Also have you waited a certain amount of time after you flashed those roms? It can take up to a couple minutes for it to first boot.
If above are fine, (you have i9100, and you waited a long time and it was still stuck on i9100 screen)

Factory reset is not required after flashing a rom .
You load rom via Odin it finishes install and then reboots itself .
You load rom via CWM and it goes to reboot screen yes and phone reboots .
As said a stock gb rom flashed via Odin preferably after a format of system data and cache should be your first step .

i did that.

but should i go for flashing my phone with the .pit file?
Nooooooooooooo wait wait wait,don't ever touch pit files and repatition
i would try it but i hope it won't make your problems worse ...
[edit]
ok then not ...
Looks like you have siyah rc6. Make sure it's not from the 21st, iirc.
Don't factory reset just to be safe.. Restore your nandroid if possible and change to a later version.
Hope all goes well

yup i had siyah 3.1rc6 on my phone.
i tried to restore my nandroid backup but there is no effect on my problem.
how to know weather emmc is fine or currupted?
Try to mount it in CWM and connect it in linux computer and run fsck to check the eMMC. Windows chkdsk is no good.
And please try to remember, did you do this step: flash bad siyah rc6 then wipe/factory reset and get stuck?
if not, then the problem is different from those who flash bad rc6 (which is removed now and siyah is safe)
any thing is not working.
in every thread its written that if my phone goes in download mode and recovery mode then its soft bricked but then how can i unbrick my phone?
or is there any hardware problem?
i can mount and unmount every thing in recovery mode
i can format every thing but only user data cannot be formated,when ever i format/data or factory reset the phone hangs.
is there any other way of hard resetting i9100.?other than cwm recovery?
Have you tried flashing with the .PIT? I doubt it'll work, since other people also tried it, but it's worth a shot.

youtube /watch?v=ByZ2okDu3CI
Everything went fine until the Odin part, i have Kies installed with drivers and everything but in the video it says i need COM18 and i get COM6, what i want is to get Clockwork so i can get started on this flashing scene and that stuff because i like to experiment and im a curious person, but as i dont know alot about Odin and i dont want to brick my phone im asking for your help, thanks for reading this far and i hope you can help me, and sorry if this has been asked before, i searched in the forums and i didnt find this problem
check the CF-root link from my signature and select appropiate CF-root kernel for your Firmware, and flash from Odin.
Dowload mod and Odin flashing guides also there in links

@ZACQ8,
I rooted my son's S2 using this method -> http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-newworks-on-all-galaxy-s2-variants/ and now need to install CWM. Was thinking of "touch", but don't know how.
Went to the CF-root link in your signature but not sure which one to choose ... my firmware before the root was 2.3.6, but has now gone to 2.3.5 and the base band is XXKI4. Can you suggest the exact file I should download? Can you also tell me if the touch version is available?
Thanks,
Hello all,
i tried installing the JellyBam ROM last night and things went ugly somehow. I had installed the good old CM10 a weak ago with ClockWorkMod! it was running perfectly except i had antenna/reception problems so i thought i give another rom a shot. followed every step of the guide, booted into recovery and the installed the JellyBam ROM.
After that my phone never loaded pass the Samsung Galaxy S II (with yellow triangle) screen and for some reason i can not load into recovery anymore! loading to download mode works fine. I did some searching on the web and some people where suggesting installing ClockMod once again, but this did not help either!
i was wondering am i doing the right thing or my phone is just dead!

is ur phone model i9100 or i9100G ?
1.Flash to stock ICS through Odin3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
2.Then flash Siyah again through Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555259
3. Flash JellyBam but the i9100 one not the G.(If u got i9100 not i9100G)
4. Fatory reset.
5. Reboot.
5. Enjoy.
6. Thank me :highfive:
Thanks a lot Sourabh007, that worked! and thanks Sun90 for the tip! yea i was really sleepy and made a really stupid mistake of installing i9100G ROM on my international SII (yea i know, dont say anything)!
But i followed through the instructions of Sourabh007 and it worked perfectly! Installed JellyBam AOKP, seems to be a little heavier and slower than CM10. and unfortunately just like CM10 im still having very poor antenna/reception most of the time. so i have to fix that somehow.
BTW im loving the Siyah kernal, going to give the dual boot option a try later.
I have recently tried to put on a custom rom, but when my phone wouldn't boot I flashed back my siyah kernel onto my Galaxy S2 Gt-i9100. Now my phone is stuck on booting, please help.
Hi
Can u get into recovery mode ?
did u make a backup before flashing ? if so u can load your backup as long as u can get into revovery mode.
If u did not make a back up u may have to flash a rom from your computer using Odin.
read some threads on using Odin and recovery.
I'm still new to this so maybe others can give u more help.
good luck
peace
Factory reset if you have no recovery to restore backup. And if factory reset doesn't work, flash stock rom in Odin (assuming you still have download mode).
Can you access download mode?
Power + Vol Down + Home
If yes then flash stock firmware via odin..

there is nothing wrong in posting threads but it is wrong to hav 100 threads with same topic, anyway back to your question.....
you dont hav a missing firmware, instead you just messed up with cwm.... always remember never select reboot recovery from cwm or any other app coz it will surely get you recovery loop as our cwm has a bug... so always manualy enter cwm, so the solution is flash stock recovery den let your device boot succesfully then again get into download mode and flash cwm recovery. and if even this doesnt help you den flash stock rom, but just doing a factory reset wont make you loose your firmware :laugh:
