Hello,
well 2 days ago I installed Chainfire3D , After installing the Chainfire3D's drivers my phone closed then my phone wa s freezing after the logo with a blackscreen, I could only see some light in the night , so after watching some tutorials now it's the freezing logo problem,
and I was trying to install a new rom but I need Odin for that I tried all versions of Odin but my phone does not connect to my pc/Odin
Also tried it on other computers , Samsung Drivers are all installed also Samsung KIES , Is there a solution before I have to pay for it to repair?
(my phone is rooted) & installed Android 4.2.2
(also did everything with the chache,fqctory,& tried a lot..)
Please help, Thanks mertonixx(sorry for my bad engilish)
just to get sure: you mentioned that you have kies installed. Before connecting to odin have you killed kies and all its processes in taskmanager, because they cannot work at the same time (and as I know kies starts automatically at boot)?
and you are in download mode? (you did not mention that so i have to ask )

You have to kill Samsung kies from task manager in your computer than open odin and connect your phone.
If my post had helped you than please press Thanks button. It might be very little for you but VERY BIG for me.

Hello ,
I have a problem with upgrading my SGA to an official firmware via Samsung Kies
when I start upgrading its OK , But after a few minutes , the Downloading come and it keeps downloading and nothin happen after this , it keeps downloading and I waited for more than 30 minutes and it keeps downloading
I tried three times , 2 times yesterday and now and I need to remove the battery and turn on the device to work again
is there a problem with my device ??
NOTE:
My device has android 2.2.1 ROOTED
so do I need to Unroot and try again ??
Afaik u dont need to unroot to update via kies. Please someone correct me if im wrong.
Thing is, kies already knowned as troublesome and laggy software/tools. If u know what update u will get via kies, just search for that particular update/rom on samfirmware and use odin to flash ur device. If i remember correctly, there are user that bricked their ace when upgrading via kies. For backup purpose, kies can do just fine, but for upgrade, i wouldnt even think of using kies because already got trustworthy odin by my side

Lesson learnt: Don't ever use Kies XD
Download ODIN 4.38 and the 2.3.3 ROM from samfirmware.com .
Flash the 2.3.3 with ODIN when your phone is in Download Mode .
When it successfully flashes , it's DONE !
Thanks for everyone , I won't use Kies after this day , I will update it now via ODIN
Help!! My SGS2 is stuck on a screen with an orange triangle and excmamation mark between a cellphone and computer after a ROM flash attempt!
I can go to Downloading mode and Odin can detect my smartphone but i don't know what else to do...
Flash a full (different to whatever you were trying) ROM, problem solved.

yep, that's just a soft brick.
since you can access DL mode, just reflash with odin and normally problem solved

But all fine now
Hello,
I've got the same problem but it seems I can't go into download mode. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
My SGS2 is not rooted and was on Android 2.3.3. Kies told me there was an update available to android 2.3.4 so I went for it.
But I'm really disappointed, now my phone is completety stuck on this screen with the phone...orange triangle with exclamation mark (warning)...PC.
EDIT : Samsung Kies proposes to do an emergency recovery, but in the end it also fails.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot before upgrading. See attachment.
Please help me.
kind regards,

If your phone is not rooted, you still have your warranty, bring it back to the shop and ask for a new one
I bought it an amazon. But I'd prefer to have a solution right now instead of having to complain.
I continued my quest on the net... Apparently, a usb jig might take me out of this screen and back to the download mode. Can somebody confirm this?

One minus Did you follow the Kies recovery instructions .
One turn off and remove battery for a short period .
Two turn on
Three try recovery mode
Four try download mode ..
Five yes USB jig may enable you to get to download mode and from that you can flash a stock Samsung rom .
Six service centre

Thanks JJEgan. I'll try once more and let you know. Assuming that I am able to get in download mode, why should I use a stock kernel and not the normal firmware I had before? Sorry about my question, but this is all new for me.
A USB Jig should be standard equipment for anybody who flashes their Galaxy phone, IMO.

Download Odin, download stock ROM, use Windows Task Manager to kill any Kies-related processes. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash using Odin. Do not tick repartition and do not use the PIT file if the stock ROM comes with one.
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed to bring my SGS2 alive again step by step after that Kies broke it during the android upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4... Moreover, I am in the official 2.3.4 version now without using Kies!! ;-) Here's my story:
In the end, I was able leave the screen with the "phone..orange warning triangle..computer". and I was able to go in download mode without a usb jig. You have to press the 3 keys (volume down, home, and power on) quite a few seconds without releasing them. And then the download warning menu appears, press volume up to confirm that you want go go in download mode. And I was in "download mode'. Anyway, I will buy a jig ;-)
I tried once more the emergency recovery with samsung Kies without success. Failed.
Then with Odin I had problem. It was stuck at step "setup connection". Kies was not running and was not visible in the system tray. Though in the task manager, I still had 2 Kies* processes. Kiestrayagent.exe and another one starting with Kies and 4 letters (sorry I didn't write it down). I killed both processes. One step further... Then Odin was stuck on step complete(write) operation failed. Never found why. I tried several times, battery in and out again, without success. This was on a Win7 32bit. Latest Kies version.
In the end I installed Odin on another PC Win7 64bits. I had to install Kies also on it otherwise Win7 says "no driver found" when you plug in the usb cable of the SGS2. And on this computer, flashing with Odin worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all people who helped me + also thanks to this super forum where I could find the official firmware I needed after that Kies broke down my phone.

Hi everyone,
I brought a new galaxy s2 phone about 4 weeks ago and it has spent most of that time soft bricked since I tried to update it to the newest firmware, K14....
I am using windows 7 starter, 32bit. I have installed kies, uninstalled and re-installed kies, tried uninstalling kies and just using the drivers.
Recently I did a clean install of windows, installed kies, as more drivers seem to be recognized and downloaded odin v1.85. I restart the computer, start task manager end all processes that say kies, run odin as a administrator, put the tar file in pda, only auto reboot is selected. I then plug in the phone, in download mode, wait for yellow box and press start and the process only goes as far as boot.bin.
I have tried all of my usb ports and the only difference is the number of the modem installed driver and how far along odin gets. With two ports it only goes as far as setup connection which was as far as anything went before I re-installed windows. I have replaced the usb cable and made sure the phone battery is fully charged. The phone was put into usb debugging mode before it was bricked. I have attached a picture of what drivers get installed when I plug in the phone. The firmware I am attempting to flash is the uk 3 version off the firmware page of this website.
Please can somebody give me the solution it is driving me nuts!
Sorry for waffling but I figure you need to know what I've tried so that I don't waste anybodies time.
Thanks guys
Did you try a different stock rom? Did you try a different pc? Or if you want to, flash a CF-root kernel. Then boot in recovery and flash a rom of your choice.
The flashcounter will start and stock roms can't be flashed this way (at least as far as I know).
Is your phone a I9100 model?
I ask this to make sure you are trying to flash the correct firmware for your device.

Hi Lenny,
Yh, i have tried it on my desktop which runs 7 home premium. Clean install with same results. Tried the K14 firmware a few times but that never got any further than setup connection. Don't understand the rest of your post sorry. Can you do a flash for dummies thing? And is there a firmware you would recommend trying?
@ aceofclubs -the box says i9100 and so does the sticker in the back.
@ JJEgan - the first cable I used was the one in the box and while the one I have replaced by ebay, they had good feedback. The K14 firmware was given to be by a user of the galaxy s2 that he had successfully flashed with.
Does the phone look to have installed correctly, the guy who gave me the firmware said he had abd appear in device manager, which I haven't got. Also after the phone is finished installing drivers if I click in the system tray, the green icon that shows devices that are present is not there and neither is the phone but if I go into device manager samsung composite device is.

No you dont need a ADB neccesarily for flashing. ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that comes with the Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device. Well do u have the phone specifications before bricking it, like Model No, Built, CSC, Kernal Etc.
First try to uninstall Kies and Install the latest version, so that you have the latest drivers.
Check the Intratech thread on Stock ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278) and download the correct rom.( I presume you have I9100 Intenational Version of S2). Open Odin 1.85, do not change any options, brownse and put the stock rom u downloaded into the PDA section and click on start button, you should be good.PM me if you have any issues.
The above didn't work. Here's what I got:

AS you have the yellow box in Odin you have the drivers all the firmware in that link works .
run odin as a administrator, put the tar file in pda, only auto reboot is selected. I then plug in the phone, in download mode, wait for yellow box and press start
Lets do this the right way just to be sure . Open Odin put the tar file in PDA
go to download mode at first screen download mode on phone follow instruction ( vol up from memory ) after next screen connect Samsung USB cable to phone and PC .

Thanks, think I've done that anyway but, just to check, what do you mean by next screen?
The screen when you are in download mode and press volume up.
Yh that is what I'm doing, thanks tho. Can someone please give me a reliable link to an older version of Odin to try? At the mo I am using v1.85, this the latest version?

So close! I plugged the phone in and got as far as cache with the green progress bar showing just the tiniest bit. Left it for over an hour but the bar didn't move at all! Encouraged I restarted the computer to try again only to find that now the computer and odin won't recognize the phone until I uninstall and reinstall kies and always hangs on cache. I restarted in the first place as the phone never shows in the system tray. Sorry to be a bore but have you any idea why everyone else can plug in and flash and my machines refuse to! I welcome any ideas you have. Thank you.
Instead of Odin, you could try Heimdall. Maybe that will work for you.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
hey hope everyone had a good christmas and new year. Still no joy, where do I get PIT files to flash with the newest version of heimdall to go with our firmware? The newest version won't let me add files until I enter a PIT. I tried version 1.1 but I couldn't get it to recognise a compatible device.
On the odin front: I thought I'd cracked it. It started flashing, took hours but I had half a green progress bar and then it just seem to freeze. Also this seems replicable a few times and then I get stuck at setup connection again. I then have to do a system restore to get it to flash to the furthest point again. Does this give anyone any clues? Or does anyone know of any heimdell packages I could try? And the long shot, any way of getting firmware on to an sd card and flashing that way when a phone is soft bricked?
Sorry if I'm annoying you but there has to a way round this. I brought a rooted one to use while this is sorted, love the phone but need to know I can update and be able to sort it out if things go wrong.
Thanks again for your help and suggestions.
Hi all
I bought a new Galaxy SII and unfortunately discovered lately that it is GT-I9100G. I rooted the device successfully with no issues. My cousin told me about a good ROM (without knowing about compatibility issue) he sent it through his I9100 device's Wifi. when I booted my device from the discovery mode and followed all the steps to install the ROM I failed to have my device up. It keeps showing the dead screen (the yellow triangle) with no luck
I read a lot of posts related to this issue I found that it is possible to fix by removing the battery and putting it back, connecting the device to the USB cable and then booting it in Download mode but again it failed !!
Now my device is dead since more than a month ago and my PC is not discovering it even. Please help to get my device alive

You'd better read BEFORE flashing something... now you have to read A LOT for the finding a solution.
Are you sure your battery is charged enough?? Cause you said 'since a month'
Maybe it's bricked for ever...

Ok, have you got KIES and ODIN on your PC? So your device can be recognized by odin. Then flash a stock rom from the forum ... Read How To flash with ODIN. (not the mobile version)
I have KIES and ODIN but when I connect my device to PC .. ODIN cannot recognize it.

Make sure KIES is not running at the back and that the Samsung USB driver is installed. Maybe delete KIES, install again but not updating KIES. Restart PC, fire up odin and put your phone to usb ... wait if you see the ID:COM turns yellow. If so, you can flash again.
Can you be more specific..your phone can enter in download mode?
Did you try on other computer to check ondin/kies connectivity?
Odia (all credits goes to him) wrote on another semi bricked phone this:
Uninstall the Samsung USB Driver from Control Panel
START/Control Panel/Programs and Features
Select "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" and then uninstall
reboot your PC and then re-install the Samsung USB Driver from:-
C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver
and run "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe"
Doing that will make sure there is no USB driver corruption.
(PS. is on a pc with widowsn7)
hope that it will help you to recover ur device.
Best regards
Ur options r:-
if phone can enter download mode then use odin to flash correct rom
If it doesnt work then pull out the battery connect phone to charger ...hold buttons for entering download mode and while holding the buttons put the battery in
If this doesnt work buy a usb jig and then while u have the battery pulled out put in the jig and then put in the battery and see if it enters download mode
If none of these things work then my friend ur phone is completely hard bricked
Ur only options r to go to samsung guys n get it repaired there...if they give u crap about losing ur warranty coz u flashed a custom rom then its better to go for jtag repair as that will be cheaper than the amount samsung guys r gonna ask for repair
