Hello again, could you explain how to flash stock rom via odin as i have no idea, thanks
Also, I am unable to get into recovery mode using the method of vol up+home button and power button, so have no idea what do
thanks

Search.
This has been covered here thousands of times over the past two years. If you have problems using Odin, search for Hopper8's 'Odin won't flash' thread.

Flash Stock Samsung JB/ICS firmware on I9100 for Noobs

samsung galaxy s2
Need some more advice,
As you know my phone is a samsung galaxy s2 gt 19100 and its not loading up to the main screen, but staying on the boot screen. I recently updated to jellybean from ics as well.
Entering recovery mode has not worked as using the combination of buttons doesn't work and i have used odin to reinstall jelly bean and downgade to ics again and that has not worked.
I desperately need my phone to work as it has all my stuff on it, is there anything else that i have not tried?
Thanks in advance.

Any Ideas?

Hi guys
I tried to root my cousins sgs2, i tried the odin method where you flash the cf-root kernel which is the same as the one which your phone is already running, but it keeps failing :S hes on ics through kies, his kernel version is [email protected] 151 #3. model number is GT-I9100 and the android version is 4.0.3.
like i said this did not work, its the official Tmobile UK ICS update i think, and it kept failing. i then tried the root method without kernel it flashed CWM but it kept resetting every time i tried to choose 'flash zip from internal sd card' :S
i would say im pretty experiened with android rooting, ive owned a t mobile pulse, SGS1, and ive also flashed my friends HTC DesireHD all successfully
Anyone have any suggestions? or could i downgrade his firmware back to gingerbread then root that way?
thanks
When you say resetting, what does that mean.
Because when you get that touch cwm, you have to flash the busy box installer, and after that you are rooted. But you don't have cwm left for further use.

Hi thanks for the responses guys. To clarify a little bit o attempted the cf kernel method via odin bit it kept failing even.with both varieties of the correct kernel. I then attempted to do the recovery mode root whereby i flashed CWM which worked but when i scrolled down to flash a zip sd the power button would not select the.option. And every 3-5 seconds the CWM would return back to the start screen of CWM recovery in a loop every 3-5 seconds, so i was unable to flash superuser and busybox
The final option i believe is to try superoneclick but apparently it does not work for ics :/

i would say im pretty experiened with android rooting!
The way you're trying to root your cousins phone using CWM & SU.zip is just fine, "BUT" the reason your power button isn't selecting your zip files from your sd -card & keeps resettling CWM, is because that particular temporary CWM recovery is "TOUCH" & not BUTTON control! Try using your finger on the screen to select stuff rather than the volume & power bottons! & lastly, don't forget to put your CWM.zip & SU.zip files on an External SD-CARD & not your internal, otherwise CWM won't see them on your internal & it won't work

Once you're rooted you can install mobile odin from the market & use that! A lot safer & no yellow triangle or counter usage!

[Q] Galaxy S3 Touchscreen Not Working

Hi All,
I've been really happy with my Galaxy S3 until I decided to flash a new Cyanogen Mod nightly build onto it. After the update my touchscreen stopped working but the soft buttons still work. I done a bit of reading on XDA and found it could be the digitizer that has faulted.
I've reflashed all the original ROM's and Firmware. When going into download mode in now reads
Customer Binary Download: Yes (4)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
I want to take it back to Vodafone to see if they can repair it but I need to get the flash counter back to 0. I know Triangle Away can do this but as the screen doesn't work I can't get past the unlock screen once it turns on to install and use it.
Is there anyway to reset the flash counter without getting into the phone e.g. via Odin?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I`m not 100% sure about this but you could try using an adapter and hooking up a usb mouse!

Help! 'Bricked' Galaxy Ace II

Help! I've recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace II GT-i8160. I flashed with Odin and rooted it. Then, I decided to install the new leaked Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM. I flashed it and realised that my phone was no longer rooted. I then flashed with Odin (the same exact way as before) but now, my phone doesn't boot. All it does is go to the screen with the words "Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 GT-i8160" and freezes. When I switch it off, it just boots itself again to that same exact screen. I can't go into Recovery mode as it only boots until that screen and freezes. However, I can go into Download mode. What should I do?
Have you try to flash Jelly Bean to your phone via ODIN again?
Nope, I'll try it now
tell me the result.

samsung galaxy ace 2 gt-s7560m brick
Hi there, i have kind of same issue, i have an ace II gt s7560m and i rooted it using odin method ones then i decide to install a custom rom (JellyCream2.0Messi10 which i found on one og the threads here) and i did a back up of my previous rom and when iwas done flashing the rom, i reboot it my phone got brick. However what the phone does is it boots up and shows the logo samsung gt s7560m and after that it shut down itself !!!! i have been trying to go into recovery mode (home+volume,up&down+power) and download mode (volume-down,home,power) the phone does exactly the same thing boot loops. it is going to download mode and i have tried almost evry method posted here. i used odin to flash the kernal again but the device is not turning on for that much time so that i can flash. please help !!!
This rom is for gt-i8160 and not for your device. So try downloading stock rom for s7560m and flash it with odin. Remember most stuff here is for gt-i8160 not for s7560m. Yes they both have the same commercial product name Galaxy Ace 2 but they are different devices.
@g0dzilla1
Are you aware that you flashed s7560m with the rom that was build for i8160? Why did you do that?
Those two phones are totally different in terms of hardware. I am afraid that you might have brick for good. Send your phone to local Samsung repair center without descibing what you did.

[Q] Soft bricked my device

I was busy trying to flash cm10.2 RC for my i9100 and ended up soft-bricking my phone. Not sure what happened, probably just me doing something stupid. If I recall the correct way to handle this is:
1)Find stock rom+kernel
2) install KIES on pc
3) flashing using ODIN in download mode
The problem is that I have no idea where to get the 4.1.1 stock rom and kernel from for my phone. I'm from Canada and using Virgin/Bell Mobile, so I tried looking up the CSC code and stuff. I stumbled upon http ://samsung-updates. com/device/?id=GT-I9100 (needed 10 posts and didnt want to just make random posts) but I have no idea which rom is the correct one. Would really appreciate some help with this (resources for stock roms+kernel) Could I use philz safe stock as a kernel? Christ I swear I used to know how to do all this.
Thanks in advance.

So I used the link you gave me to get it to GB stock rom+kernel (since I read intratechs stuff might not work). Then using KIES I got to 4.1.2. AT that point my firmware info changed from PDA:KG2/PHONE:KG2/CSC:KG2 (BMC) to PDA:MA5/PHONE:MA5/CSC:MA5(BMC). No idea what that means. Went to http://forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to grab a rooted kernel with cwm. Then my phone just gets stuck in a boot loop or fails to launch. Tried siyah kernels v2 and v3, they fail (boot loops). Dorimanx just causes my phone to freeze midway between the samsung screen animation and the warning triangle.
Basically, Im stuck right now only being able to boot successfully to stock 4.1.2 un rooted. Any idea where to head from there?

So I used the link you gave me to get it to GB stock rom+kernel (since I read intratechs stuff might not work). Then using KIES I got to 4.1.2. AT that point my firmware info changed from PDA:KG2/PHONE:KG2/CSC:KG2 (BMC) to PDA:MA5/PHONE:MA5/CSC:MA5(BMC). No idea what that means. Went to http://forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=1103399 to grab a rooted kernel with cwm. Then my phone just gets stuck in a boot loop or fails to launch. Tried siyah kernels v2 and v3, they fail (boot loops). Dorimanx just causes my phone to freeze midway between the samsung screen animation and the warning triangle.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i would guess you want to get back onto a custom rom like CM? Just flash this version of dorimanx on your phone via odin and it should boot, 8.43 for samsung based roms you must use those that start with 8, e.g. 8.43 or 8.41 etc... Once you flash it you can now boot into CWM recovery and install CM as you always had.
NVm, kinda got it working on SlimBean with a CWM 6.0 kernel. Thanks for all the help from the XDA community.
