I9100G not booting up - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks
I downloaded official I9100G jb & tried to upgrade my phone thru odin. Odin shows phone added so I press start with pda reference to the firmware. But after half an hour there is no activity so I thought there is no flashing done. I remove my phone & tried to boot up but it only shows perthe picture Cant enter both download & recovery mode anymore.
is my phone dead?. Is there any way I can get it up?. Thanks in advance for your kind answers.
edit:
I flashed back cwm & managed to get it boot to ics back.

[Q] Messed up with my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830B

Guys,
I've tried to update my Android's firmware from v2.2.1 to the ICS rom.
The issue started when I've tried to flash CWR through ODIN.
All procedures have been done: loaded the cooper, and the CWR .tar, put my mobile on Download Mode, plugged USB, Odin showed <1> Added!!! <1> Detected!!! and hit the Start button.
After waiting for about 30min there was no response from ODIN, then, I removed the USB and closed ODIN. After that I turned on my Galaxy Ace and the following scenario came up: an image of a pc connected to phone with exclamation mark in between.
Later I tried to recover my mobile by flashing the firmware of v2.3.6 through ODIN as well. It started well, but, in the middle of the installation it failed.
What can I do?
Please, it's urgent!
Thanks in advance folks!
happened with me a lot....but i usually flash the stock firmware with odin and my phone becomes good as new. try again to flash stock firmware via odin.
if i'm not mistaken maclaw's ics needs gb bootloader, thus need to flash stock gb rom beforehand. u cant just go straight from froyo to ics :/
btw try this.
turn off phone, remove battery, wait for around 5-10 seconds, press three button combination for download mode (vol down+home+power) and while u still holding those three buttons reinsert the battery. device should go into download mode and u should be able to reflash with stock gb rom via odin. and good luck with it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sometimes download mode can work even if the screen isn't turning on. You should follow the instructions for download mode and see if Odin recognizes your phone.
if see odin has recognized ur fone, flash it with the stock firmware using odin!
Thanks for the response but I tried several times but phone is not booting up in downloading mode.

Try this (it may or may not work)
Launch PC Odin & get rom ready (I recommend LiteningRom [NB, it is custom rom that can be flashed via Odin]
turn ph off & remove battery...
plug ph into pc (NB, battery still out...)
**now you may need extra set of hands here (I managed it by myself though)**
now, hold the button combo to get ph in to d/l mode...
keeping the d/l button combo depressed... put battery back into ph...
hopefully ph will show d/l mode ready on screen & it will be seen by Odin :fingers-crossed:
(if above worked) flash Litening Rom & count your lucky stars...
NB, this saved me when my S2 had BSOD.... i.e. nothing showed on screen after flashing a recommended kernel (by a more experienced user/member - not the OP)
always read up before doing anything kernel/recovery related
Try USB jig.

Galaxy S2 fails to load (no boot menu)

Hi guys,
well I have following problem:
I've let my SGSII fall down and after some time, just as it was working fine, it turned off and failed to load again. It hangs on the Logo screen. With button combinations I reach only download mode. I can't go in Boot Menu/Recovery Mode. I had Jelly Bean on it.
I would like to save my data, so I still don't want to flash it.
Is there any way to to something, through Kies (USB) or Odin to go in Boot Menu?
After reading some posts I came to the info that there are some files that can be flashed, but still not sure which ones (Rom, dorimanx kernel, Cyanogen etc.)
Any help would be great. I'm opened to learn and try by myself!
Thank You in advance for helping!
some tipps
Ok fellows..at least tipps or some ideas in which direction I should go..
I already tried Kies, but I can't reach the phone..
I have Odin downloaded, I think version 1.85 is what I need.. any tipps what Odin can master? :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello xda, first post n00b here,
I recently got my hands on a SIII (lot better then my old htc one V), and I wanted to install cyanogenmod on it. So I installed the i9300 recovery rom on it and for a short while it seemed to work, but when I tryed to sideload cyanogenmod something went wrong. Everytime I rebooted I got thrown into the downloading, do not power off target!!-screen.
I quickly found my mistake, I did not have an i9300 I had an i9305. With some help from the lovely people at #cyanogenmod (shout out to you PsychoI3ob) I figured out I had to flash the stock rom. I could not figure out how to do this with heimdall, so I downloaded Odin. With Odin, everything went right untill it was somewhere around 99%. The write failed. Now the only thing I see when I but the batteries in my phone is: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
So now I would like to know: Did my phone just become a paperweight or is there still anything I can do?
Thanks a lot for reading trough!
If you can get back into download mode by shutting down your phone, and then boot while holding the volume down, home button and power button simultaneously you could try reflashing stock ROM through Odin.
If the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in then you will have to take the battery back out, and then whilst pressing Vol Down and Home button put the battery in (I've had the same issue on a Galaxy Ace II with the phone booting as soon as the battery was put in, but managed to get back into download mode and reflash by doing as I described)
If you manage to successfully reflash, boot into recovery (turn off, then hold Vol Up, Home and Power) and do a factory reset from there just for good measure.
Good luck :good:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." It is also download mode. You can use Odin to flash while this screen has been displayed or launch Kies and restore your original firmware by firmware initialization option from tools menu.
Write model name GT-I9305 and your phone serial number (under battery). Kies will check what version of firmware was originally pre-installed on that device. Will download and flash it automatically. After that you can upgrade to newest stock. Write custom recovery via Odin, flash custom rom from CWM.

Can't get S2 (GT-I9100) to boot (Download mode Working - Weird recovery mode)

Hello all,
So, let me keep it as short as possible.
The incident
I was talking on the phone, after the call i tried to hang the phone and there was just a black screen (phone stuck).
Pushed Power button steady and the phone rebooted and never boot again.
Mobile bio
The phone was rooted (2+years ago with CF Root)
Rom was stock European 4.1.2
I have available a full nandroid backup (boot.img etc)
The latest Custom recovery i had installed was CWM (ver. 4 something).
Current status
The phone is stuck at boot with a yellow triangle.
The phone can get to download mode (and be recognized by odin)
The phone cannot get to the recovery menu, (to be more precise when i press vol+, home, power the phone finally gets to a black screen {no backlight} but it is recognized by the command "adb devices" as in recovery status)
Kies cannot connect either in recovery mode or download mode. (Stays in connecting message).
Tried the following
Installed various kernels (Siyah-s2-v4.1.5, Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 etc)
Installed various roms (including stock roms) via odin with NO error.
Installed the original .pit file for 2Gb S2 system memory.
Tried the flashing method with 3 separate files (CODE_I9100XXLSJ.tar, CSC_HOME_OXX_I9100OXXLS1.tar, MODEM_I9100XXLS6.tar) via odin appropriate fields.
Tried two different Odin versions (1.85, 3.07)
So after trying all these, i finally rest my hopes in the community.
I really hope there is something more i can do, in order to fix my phone.
Thanks in advance for your time and effort.
Hello again...
Still trying to find a solution...
Some more info, in download mode i get the following info:
Custom binary download: YES (1 counts) and it doesn't change no matter how many times i flash anything through odin.
Does this count change only if you flash a new rom via recovery?
Anyway, i'm pretty desperate so i keep on trying to find a solution...
ANY help appreciated.
