hello experts
i had followed steps to root my galaxy s2 using odin flashing and it was success, and unlocked.
The phone started well with a yellow Exclamation.
and the phone was unlocked.
after a few minutes the phone was very slow and got stuck. i restarted it.
again stuck, restarted but it dint start again. i thought battry was low and put to charge.
but it dint charge as well.
So i showed the phone to a repairing center and they said its dead.
Any help that i can start my phone again ??
Thanks in advance guys :'(
Try reverting back to the stock unrooted rom.
Go to Sam firmware.com and download the stock from ..flash it via Odin.. search ..google is ur friend..Don't ask the repairing shop again for advice (phone is dead...duh)

Can you get to download or recovery mode is the first question .

If you cannot get to download mode a USB recovery jig may help .

If you have an official stock ROM with official firmware on it, the repair centre should change your mainboard and basically making your phone brand new.

which version were you on? Are you sure the rooting went okay?
The USB-Jig must work. especially on GB. it even works fot me on ICS.
When you can not get into download-mode (odin mode) ór recovery you can't flash anything..
Hope for you that your battery is broke. or maybe one of the processors... Still got warrenty?

Not true at all .

Hi you cant do anything unless you have download mode on you device,
if you have JTAG box you can repair your device using this.
Its normal device getting heat near charging/USB component. This is not HW problem.

He already said it won't boot normally, to recovery, or to download mode. JTag or warranty are his only options.
[A] Galaxy s2 bricked
You have to know smthng:
- It is always possible to get to download mode, if not through the button combo (home+power+Volume_DOWN), then through the USB Jig
- If your phone is bricked, the download mode might not announce itself through the android robot: the exclamation mark will persist in some cases. One indication is that ODIN will be recognizing your phone on the COM port (USB that is).
Notify me if you needed further assistance
Which instructions did you follow?
If those are wrong hopefully somebody else will see this and avoid those instructions.
Hi, I am new to Samsung I previously had HTC's but I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 and tried unlocking it with galaxys_unlock tool from Android market and it worked, unlocked the phone I tried a new sim card but then it started crashing very shortly after unlocking and now it is just stuck on Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 boot screen and keeps rebooting from there. I tried reflashing stock firmware on it and still same result. Is there any way to rescue it. I have tried all the bootloop threads but they all seem to be related to kernel problems and software problems I tried all the fixes but they don't work. Is my phone hardbricked or something? I can get into download mode and am able to flash new roms with odin but can not get into recovery mode at all. When i press the buttons to get into recovery mode the device just shuts down and reboots. Please say I can fix it. Thanks guys.
You shouldnt need to reflash.. being stuck there is sometimes normal as it normaly means you didnt wipe any cache or do a factory reset so it gets stuck at boot...
Flash the phone with the ROM you wanted.. & then root if you wish...when it boots & gets stuck... do this...
remove battery, wait 30 seconds or so & pop it back in...
Boot to recovery & wipe cache, then factory reset.. then advanced & wipe dalvik cache
reboot phone...skip all the startup **** & go into phone & do a factory reset from there once rebooted your phone will be up & running..... I hope...
also this will wipe everything as if a clean install....

You may not have recovery, if u flash a stick ROM/kernel that doesn't have CWM then of course your not gonna be able to enter it

I know stock kernels don't have recovery, but I have already tried flashing CWM and Sirah both of which have recovery and it passes with odin and still doesn't work!
Stock kernels have stock recovery

I think you missed the question mark. Stock kernels most certainly do have recovery.
Anyway, I stand by my statement, you're probably not doing the correct procedure to enter recovery.

I know how to get into recovery, hold down volume up, home and power for 10 seconds. It is like the unlock tool has bricked my partitions or something. Now my battery has died and will not even charge, Download mode says "Can't download, battery too low" and shows no signs of life when plugged into a charger.
I changed the charger and now it looks like it is charging but the charging animation that shows when the phone is off and charging doesn't do anything, it just has a battery symbol with a static circle in the middle, not sure if it is actually charging or not but still doesn't fix the fact i can't get into recovery or even boot a stock rom flashed by odin.
Could the unlock tool have bricked my phone or could it have wiped the IMEI? Would a blank IMEI stop the phone from booting?
Thanks for your help guys. Really need my S2 working again and hoping it is not a return to samsung jobby as I have not got a USB Jig to reset the flash counter.
Did you backup your efs folder before running the unlock tool?

yes I am going to leave it on charge for a few hours but when it was working it wouldn't boot at all, there is no way a missing imei or corrupted nvdata.bin / efs could stop the phone from booting then?
OK it has been on charge for an hour and a half and all it has done is get hot, I cant access download mode any more as it says "LOW BATTERY!! CAN'T DOWNLOAD!!" So I am stuck, dont know what to do now. If i send it back to samsung do they ask for proof of purchase or is the fact I have the box and everything proof enough? Just asking as I had that with HTC ages ago.

Damn. You can get unlock codes for $10 on eBay, not worth messing your phone over 10 bucks. For now, I guess you are stuck.

Gee thanks, really useful input there.
I will pay £20 by paypal on 17th when i get paid to person who helps me fix this
If someone is actually knowledgeable enough to help me fix this I will pay them £20GBP by PayPal on 17th August when I get paid.
My wifes going to send her phone back to Samsung soon and they asked for proof of purchase.
Were ok there,but I suppose other people may not have that.It looks like they are trying to get out of fixing their phones.
All they should be doing is checking the phones not lost/stolen then get on with the repair ........tossers

May I ask what is your S2 version? Are you sure it is an International version?
I would suggest to re-download a different ROM and flash it using ODIN 1.85.
About the warranty, I think the receipt is really needed to avail this. Unless you're willing to spend some cash for the repair.
Hi,
I have the exact same problem as some of the other bootlooped/bricked Galaxy S3's, i was on a custom samsung 4.1.2 rom for about a month and while browsing the net today it crashed went in bootloop now i cant get out, went into cwm recovery mode and factory reseted but didnt do anything.
The problem now is i cant go back into clockwork mod at all, so i went into download mode by pressing power + voloume down and menu button and went into download mode and opened odin flashed a stock rom, however it just keeps saying fail after nand write.
I now tried a custom rom and the same issue occurs and it fails, now when i pull the battery out and turn it back on all i get is a error message saying 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again' can somebody please helppppp me i literally have no phone at use at the moment!
Thanksssss :highfive:

If you have a jig you might be able to bring it back to life and get in downloadmode and retry flashing a stock rom again. Pull the battery for a minute, reinsert it and use a jig. If you don`t have one try to buy one. Good luck
factory reset is your only way
yes a reply!

It's only 2pm here in Cali, I'll be trying all night. Plan b is to send it into Mobiletechvideos, they do international shipping too, 5 star rating. But in the mean time, I'm going to do some ODIN trouble shooting, maybe try the Mac OSX alternative, Heimdall, and see if I can get it to connect.

That's three of uss folks
I relate to you guys for that's exactly the same problem I'm going through. After successfully updated to the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 UK BTU international version and beautifully restored all my apps via Titanium backup I then proceeded to restore as well my EFS folder through a program named kTool, ignoring its warning message cuz I was just following a tutorial put out on a S3 Brazilian forum believing there was no danger at all.
Well, to my sadness and despair it returned on a bootlooping mode, if you will, and I did everything firstly tried to recover then wiped cache, dalvik, data, formatted the whole stuff and finally installed again via odin in download mode the same jelly bean 4.1.2 all to no avail
Now I got the bootlooping and when I press volume up + power + home I get a screen with a seemingly dead robot with a exclamation sign in its chest. Please what do I do in order to fully recover my S3?? this situation is killing me.

hey mate try the youtube link, almost worked for me it actually flashed after continously getting nand write fail, however after i flashed factory reseted and got the same error, still trying to find a way round, i suggest avoiding factory reset and reboot straight away after trying that flash on the youtube link, let me know how u get on
I've already watched the YT vid.

Dude, I've watched that vid but haven't tried that procedure so far, matter of fact I will do that however flashing an earlier version of the ROM, perhaps JB 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 or yet the current one from another country since the UK BTU version I downloaded was somehow corrupted. Anyhow thanks for the heads up to avoid factory reset and reboot it instead, hopefully I'm going to manage to get the CWM recovery screen cuz now I get only this:
Android system recovey <S3>
Volume up/down to move to highlight:
power button to select.
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
Apply update fom external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

Hi Everyone,
This is my story:
I woke up today to my phone being off. Thinking it was battery, I got my spare and replaced it. Turned on the phone and saw the:
"Samsung
Galaxy S III
GT-I9300"
This logo kept on appearing, then disappearing; appearing then disappearing. It is still doing that and I can not get past it. I have tried clearing Dalvik Cache (yes I can access recovery mode). I have tried using Odin to flash stock firmware to it (it showed a "PASS"), and still nothing works. I am at the end of my wits with this phone. Based on what I know, my options are:
1) Wipe/Reset Factory data
2) Take it to a repair shop bcz of a hardware malfunction (no warranty)
3) Throw it in the bin
Any other options that might get me into the phone to get my information?
Just so you guys know, this phone was rooted a couple months back. The only reason I rooted it was to use Titanium Backup. Needless to say, I wasn't messing around with it when this happened. Please advise!
Use Google or search on XDA next time!
Looks to me like you have SDS!

factory reset should've been the first thing you did after the cache. that's your solution. it's not sudden death, just do a factory reset

Can you enter recovery? Or it's just DL mode?
I can enter recovery and DL mode. For the record, I just did a wipe data factory reset and it's still doing the same thing. Any suggestions now?
If you can get into download mode then try flashing stock Rom with Odin, if it doesn't boot up, go to recovery and do factory reset.....

Recovery is volume Up, Home + Power.
If using this key combination doesn't work, maybe your NAND is fried. Try reflashing ROM via Odin to see errors.
