Hi, my name is Francisco and Im from Argentina, so excuse my bad English.
A week ago I brought a S2 (SHW-M250K) of Korea.The phone worked fine, when I open Kies tells me that I can update it ... I it worked perfect, but after a while realized that I could not send sms.Talk to my telephone operator, but there was no case was still the same.
Passing some pictures to the PC, Kies tells me that I can do another upgrade, so I did ... and there the sms worked well. After an hour (via wifi) jumps me a message saying I could upgrade terminal from the phone, so I did, I found it harmless. The update will end well, but the phone within 30 seconds it froze ... hung up, I could not finish configuring or anything,, I reboot several times, did a wipe data, and all was still well FROZEN.
So I read the web, and come to the conclusion it was best to do the flashing with ODIN.
Something went wrong.
Kies not recognize the terminal,I can not go to rescue mode but I can go to download mode
Please someone help me. I do not want to throw my phone away
thank you very much in advance

first of all,uninstall,or at least kill Kies while updating via Odin.Then flash XWLP7 4.0.3 firmware(it's network unlocked,search on Sammobile),and after flash do a factory reset.
Pancho, from now on no more Kies updates, no more kies whatsoever. That's the moraleja.
Did you flash anything via Odin?

Hi guys, not entirely sure if this is in the correct place but I believe it is, sorry if it is not.
Today i plugged my Samsung S2 into the laptop and Kies proceeded to connect and everything seemed fine. I then saw that there was a firmware update, I then proceeded to download and try to install it, this failed some how and it then tried to do an emergency recovery which also failed. So i turned the phone on and off again and the screen that appeared was a phone..warning triangle...computer.
I tried plugging it back up but Kies was not connecting with it anymore, and everything i have search about it talks about something called "Odin" and rooting, neither of which i have tried or read about in any great depth.
I contemplated going up to the local shop and seeing if they could do anything although i think they would be just as good as me.
Before today i hadn't updated any firmware at all since getting the phone in January, i have just been using it straight out the box. So my question is, can i fix it? And how would i go about fixing it?
Im am in the UK and on the O2 network if that is any use?

Can you try turning the phone off, then simultaneously press the Down Volume Key + Home Button + Power Button, keeping same depressed for about 10 seconds to see if the phone will boot and enter Download mode?
If it does, then you may be able to use ODIN as per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 to properly reload an image.
Better send it to your near Samsung service center to have it replaced if it still under warranty.
if download mode works then jus flash stock rom via odin...an kies dosnt update the device if the space on main drive(ex--c drive )dosnt hav enough space i think around 30 or 60gb is required...an if u wan to update via kies only then flash old stock rom an connect to kies hope all goes well...if none work then try the jig (search on forums)well i made my own jig tht jus pushs the phone to dounload mode........cheeeeerz
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if ever I'm posting this on the wrong section cause I'm not sure if this is a problem from android or samsung.
I'm not good at all when it comes to phone troubleshooting so I will try my luck and ask questions about what have happened to my phone just awhile ago. I got this phone from Japan(Samsung Galaxy SII Wimax isw11sc) months ago and I only use it for multimedia purposes as it is region locked and I am at another country atm. everything is running fine until my phone asked for a software update(not really sure what upgrade that was) and I decided to give it a shot and let it download the updates. I left it to do some chores and when I came back to check on it, it reboot looped itself on the AU(mobile phone company from japan) logo.
I did some research and found some things like hard reset and download mode. I tried to do the hard reset(power/home/volume up) method but I can't seem to access the settings instead, the phone keeps on showing me this "Preparing for S/W update. Please wait." after a few seconds, the phone will reset itself back to the reboot loop.
I tried to do the download mode using odin mode but then, I realized that my phone and computer won' connect via USB port because well, my phone won't boot. Also downloaded the manual driver but my pc won't recognize it.(win7 if that helps.)
Please tell me what have happened and what I can do to fix this problem, I don't really care if i lose everything that I have stored on my phone, I just want it to work again. Help will be much appreciated, Thank you.
Hi friends, i am asking for help regarding my gt-i9100 unit.
This phone was given to me as a gift, and so i happily accepted it. i noticed that it ran
on gingerbread (not sure what version though). after a while i checked for update via wi-fi
and i got a message that a new update is available. so i happily downloaded it.
this is where the problems started.
after downloading the update i got stuck on the loading screen for the update (the white screen with the loading bar in the middle)
but it never progressed after a day (yes i waited that long). after googling about it i found a workaround via the recovery mode. i wiped the cache and did a factory reset.
after that the phone worked fine again.
then i got the message to update again, same thing happened. i tried googleing again and found out about odin and flashing roms.
i'm not an expert so please do comment on what i did.
-turned on the USB debuggin thing.
-downloaded odin.
-downloaded firmware (philippine version as i am fron the philippines) from sammobile.
-powered down the phone, entered recovery mode
-flashed the rom with odin-it said PASS and failed=0 so i think i did nothing wrong.
-after that voila i now have jellybean 4.2.1.
i thought it was fine, until i noticed one thing, the keys (the 3 buttons-home, back, menu) all lit up fine, but didn.t work.
well actually the home button worked, but it now appears to be a back button.
and when my girlfriend called me, i can't hear a thing, although music plays fine.
my girlfriend also told me that she cannot hear me, so i think there' s something wrong there.
i believe this is a software issue, but i'm not an expert.
i want to take it to the samsung center but it is still closed until the end of the holiday center.
also i'm trying my best to keep me from spending cash on this phone (taking it to the service center is my last option).
i have followed similar steps on different threads but to no avail. maybe i'm just doing something wrong.
i need your expert opinions.
any help will be appreciated. thanks guys in advance!
Hello androiders,
Recently my friend drowned his S6 and told me that he needs a spare phone. He has one, but it's messed up he said. So as a good friend I took that phone home and it appears to be Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 international model for baltic countries. The phone was always kept factory set and never rooted or tweaked in any other way. I am also a really early begginner in this android business, so I am not completely sure what I did.
At first I thought, well, no problem I'm just gonna connect it to Kies and do an emergency recovery. But no, Kies downloads the files all right, but hangs on 0% when installing, also the phone doesn't show any progress bar in download mode. So I abandoned the Kies idea.
Then I said ok, let's try Odin. Got the ROM from Sammobile, checked the tutorials and tried flashing. It went okay for about 80% and then said "FAIL!". After browsing through the abbyss of Google I found that you have to extract the missing.img file and reformat it o .tar, then flash it again. Did that and it semi worked, it started booting! BUT nothing lasts forever, the phone started showing error messages in red and it looks like the phone cannot read the data flashed into it.
So, people, I am asking for your help. I think I need to delete every single crumb of information from the phone and write everything manually in it. Or don't I?
Greetings Everyone,
Yesterday i installed the last CM13 nightly via the CM updater in this phone.
But after the phone restarted, a green android and a "installing system update" appeared for a few seconds then after it went black, the screen blinks each 5 seconds or so, but nothing ever happens. I left the phone on overnight to see if something came up, but to no avail.
Furthermore, now i cannot enter recovery mode, only download mode and my computer does not recognize the phone. I tried pretty much everything, the basic guide on rooting i9100, KIES, Odin, Heimdall flashing, offering corpses to the Old Ones and nothing works.
Does anyone have any insight on what might be happening? I installed CM13 on my two phones (a z3c and a Note 4) and everything went smoothly. Now with this i9100 i was using 6.0.1 but everything went to hell after i tried this update.
Thanks in advance

You might find your answer here I'm not clever enough to post the link so you get it "Longhand".
Go To Forum Galaxy SII General.
Scroll to [Guide} Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (i9100G/P/T/ versions included)
Have a good read through it and if you dare go for it . It's a "back to the future" sort of thing, takes you back to "jellybean" and android 4.1.2. (The route I took anyway)! Good Luck!
same problem here! please help me get my phone back :crying:
argethalm, fazallfrd, ThiagovGuerra
I had same problem - but ....... it was software bricked. Like yours.
If I repair then all of you can repair like me.
