Hello ,
I recently got a samsung galaxy s2 i777 at&t , everything was working just fine until i installed jelly bean 4.1.2 !
But the problem is i installed jelly bean i9100 international version , im still a noob and i didn't know that.
The phone is working fine but the back and search button are not responsive i already did a factory reset/wipe and i installed some roms
like UCKH7_stock_root but that didn't help.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
The key mapping is different for the button configuration on the I9100. It is possible to use I9100 firmware on the I777 but you must use a kernel made for the I777, and there are a few other modifications that would be necessary such as the key mapping file.
You should probably flash SGH-I777 firmware, either stock or custom. You can do some reading in the forums here to see what is available. The stock 4.1.2 UCMD8 for the I777 is available in the Download Repository.
Please post a link to the I9100 firmware that you flashed, and I will be able to tell you how exactly to proceed. We need to know if you flashed the I9100 secondary boot loader or not.

Just download Shostock3 ROM from the SGH-I777 Android Development forum and get into recovery and, Wipe data/factory reset->
Clear cache->
Go to mounts and storage->Format system->
Get back and go to advanced-> Wipe dalvik cache->
Get back and choose install new zip-> Flash your Shostock3 zip. Done. Hope this helped

No big deal if you have flashed an I9100 ROM. U wont brick your phone as far as you can enter the recovery. Jus do the above. U'l be good to go.

Did you flash the SHOstock3 zip from recovery?
Definitely hardware problem. I mean if you clean flashed an i777 ROM(Maybe Shostock3 as per my suggestion) an you still cant get the buttons working, then it certainly is hardware issue.

Or maybe he didn do a proper flash. And its not about jumping to conclusions. I have had this problem twice, all I did was jus clean install an I777 ROM and everything was back in work again. I have this experience. So i thought it could be an hardware issue..or maybe an unclean flash which I didnt include above.

@creepyncrawly This is the ROM he flashed.
http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/02/...lly-bean-firmware-galaxy-s-ii-i9100-download/
This is the official JB. I have no idea here. I thought he flashed an custom ROM. But this is an I9100 official JB. There maybe a different solution for this and I certainly have no idea.

I'm downloading the file now to see exactly what is in there. May take up to an hour. I'll post suggestions after I look at it.
So , what are the results creepyncrawly ?
@AdnaneHMD,
The firmware you installed, "I9100XWLSD_I9100ITVLS1_I9100XXLS8_HOME" contains the I9100 secondary bootloader. You may find that when you try to put your phone into download mode, the regular I777 sequence of holding down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable will not work for you. This behavior is governed by the secondary bootloader, and I am pretty sure that the I9100 sequence is different.
You will need to first flash the SGH-I777 secondary bootloader (sbl.bin) by itself using Odin. You can find the .tar file you need in the Download Repository. Link is in my signature. Put the sbl.tar in the PDA slot.
First, open Odin on your desktop. Odin3 v1.85 is preferable. If the regular sequence does not work, you can put your phone into download mode with a jig, if you have one. Or you can try this: pull the battery and leave it out. Then hold down vol down (or both volume buttons) while plugging in the USB cable. The computer will provide the power.
If you had to flash with the battery out, remove the USB cable and insert the battery, and start the phone. The regular I777 sequence for download mode should now work.
Next, you want to flash the SGH-I777 stock firmware full package. You will find an Odin flashable tar version in the Download Repository. I would suggest that you flash the 4.1.2 UCMD8 version. Once the phone boots, you should be fully working. Now, if you want to root I would suggest you use Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit. Then you can install Mobile Odin Lite or Mobile Odin Pro and use it to install a custom kernel followed by custom firmware. Or you can leave your phone unrooted and stock if you prefer.
If you have questions, please ask. I will be traveling out of town later today, so will be away from the computer over night.

The assumption I have been using is that your phone was working normally with no issues until you flashed the I9100 stock firmware and then immediately upon rebooting the buttons failed. If that scenario it's accurate, then it's a pretty good chance, in fact almost a certainty, that the issue is firmware related, and not a hardware failure.
However, if the above is true, then the fix I suggested should have corrected the issue. Since it did not, we need to find where the facts deviate from the above. Look in about phone and report what firmware is currently installed. Then we need to know, would it be before you flashed the I9100 firmware, or during the return to I777 firmware?

OK, try this file:
https://copy.com/knvYJ
It's a flashable zip file that will restore the key libs to their i777 orientation. In the old days it was one of the files we used to rely on when we were manually porting 9100 roms via recovery only.
This should solve your problem... but then again, creepy's method also should have worked! Regardless, try it and let us know.

If the i777ucMD8 Odin flash was a Pass, wonder if a reboot into recovery and Wipe data/factory reset, then reboot...would fix ur problem ?

Hey guys,
I need some expertise on this, I tried looking up my exact problem but I couldn't find any real help so here I am. I just recently upgraded to ICS and all went well. Then I decided to root with Siyah kernel with ODIN and all was good. My problem is that when I tried to do the ROM backup with ROM manager it didn't boot back up and now every time I try to boot it up it goes to the Samsung Galaxy SII GT-19100 screen... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You won't be fixing it without Odin with no recovery. Go thru the following list on your PC, and if you still can't get Odin working, try another PC. If you still can't get Odin working on another PC, user error somewhere along the way (will be impossible for anyone here to say what because we're not there with you), which means service centre job.
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again. Also run Windoze Update.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
I have a rooted Australian Galaxy s iii i9300 running stock android 4.0.4 and Siyah Kernel V.1.5.3, both of which I flashed about 3 weeks ago.
My phone has been running perfectly, last night before going to bed I plugged my phone into the charger as usual. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary with it, I didn't alter any settings or install anything new and it has been weeks since I've flashed anything. I woke up this morning to see my phone stuck on the 'Galaxy S iii' logo screen as if it had automatically rebooted itself during the night and got stuck. I've tried removing the battery and turning it back on several times but it just keeps getting stuck on the logo screen. I can't enter clockwork recovery mod but I can still enter download mode.
Is my phone bricked?
How did this happen when I didn't even do anything?
What should I do?
Should I try re-flashing the stock ics rom?
Re-root
Try re-rooting it with Odin (from Download Mode), then you might be able to go into Recovery Mode.
Have you recently installed any app? Coz there must be a reason for this to happen.
If the above comment does not work, next step would be to order a jig to force it into download mode.

Really? I did a quick search before posting this, sorry for the repost. Did anyone come up with a solution in previous threads?
I've searched and searched but I still can't find the 3 file firmware. I don't even know what I'm looking for really. Can someone please link me to a 3 part Rom compatible with my phone?
While my search for similar problems before creating this thread yielded very few results, I have since found the other threads Ch0ka was referring to by searching 'There is no PIT partition'. It seems that if flashing a three part file and repartitioning with Odin doesn't work, the general consensus is that I'll have to send it to a service center for repair. Haven't I voided the warranty on my phone by rooting it? will they be able to tell I've rooted it or is it damaged beyond that point? I really can't afford to be paying for repairs right now.
I'm so upset, I still don't understand how my phone could just brick itself overnight! Could someone please give me some advice?

Okay maybe this will come out as silly question but; Can I flash Custom Recovery like CWM-Touch through Mobile Odin ?
If I can, then should I put the recovery.zip file in KERNEL option in mobile odin or that one of UPDATE ZIP ?
For some ungodly reasons, I am not able to connect my SGS2 to computer so can't flash kernel from desktop odin :/

Yes I did. I even uninstalled usb drivers & Kies and tried fresh install couple of times but computer simply refuses to detect phone. Also tried different cable, different ports. But No MTP, no mass storage nothing works. I have been facing this problem from a while too. Maybe I messed it up when I installed so many different ROM and kernels in past several weeks.
I we installed so many roms myself but didn't have any problems.
You can install kernel thrugh stock recovery if the zip file is signed and in the internal sdcard root folder yust to rename it update.zip

Just rename it to update.zip an put it in the /sdcard 0 (internal sdcard- on the phone)
Go to recovery (volume up+home button+lockscreen button) and flash the file.

I have got this file "recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip" from CWM website itself (1.5MB).
So should I just rename it "update.zip" and flash through stock recovery ?

Sory for the late response.
Yes it is it says at the title of the thread [28.11.2012][PhilZ-cwm6][i9100]v3.72 Safe Stock Kernel+CWM6_No BrickBug_Root_XXLSJ
No problem
I know this thread was resolved, but the topic is still one that I am interested in. My Galaxy Nexus, Toro, has a failed USB port. I tried Mobile Odin with an old ICS image, but it didn't flash, I assume, because I'm running AOKP 4.2. Regardless, I have no recovery of any kind, stock or otherwise now. It just sticks at the Google screen when I attempt recovery. The AOKP still boots fine, however. I need to return this unit to Verizon in a few days. I'd like to at least get a custom recovery back, and try flashing an ICS build of AOKP and try another Mobile Odin.

Ok. Well. How about Goomanager from the market. Just hit menu and click "Install OpenRecovery Script". Reboot into recovery like a boss. TWRP FTW!! Ok. Now the topic of this thread is SOLVED.
are you retarded? no one answered the question the question was what area do you load the recovery in to flash it in mobile odin. you all gave him alternate routes to get the same outcome but you totally avoided his question. now i will restate the problem
WHAT AREA IN MOBILE ODIN DO YOU LOAD A RECOVERY .TAR??????
thats clear enough right?

Mate, this is an old thread. The OP only wanted to get a CWM recovery, which he did get.
Now why would you bring up this thread again? And please be polite while posting. Showing disrespect and shouting are against forum rules.

It would still be helpful to get the answer as to how to flash a recovery .tar with odin, since this thread shows up when you search for this.
Many searches for strange problems gives several hits, but when you read through them, there's only answers to other problems.
Can Odin be used more than once? I am getting a message with yellow triangle and can only boot phone into Odin. I cannot seem to find a working valid MD5 file either to restore stock.the one posted here seems invalid when checked by Odin.I was going to reflash beans106 build 1 since that seems to be my only option.i wonder how verizon would like me showing up with a phone to reflash.
Anyone I am stuck
Thanks

Thanks I keep reading threads that say only use stock roms for Odin after you loaded a custom rom.
I am screwed at this point now anyway not being able to even load current beanstown verson 1 in phone anyway.
Guess a totally bricked phone is all that is left to do then they can have a real good laugh.

you have a serious problem on your end...either your computers have viruses or your not telling the whole story. the files work fine i have used them all. i would try installing a fresh copy of windows on your pc.
alternative option: send me your device and 20.00 and i will unlock it and put whatever rom you want on it, then send it back.

I need my phone for a sick family member so a trip to Verizon maybe my only option
The files you speak of do not work now for me or they may not need to be unzipped and not specified in directions
The only file Odin sees and does a checksum is is the one that loaded yesterday. The one you said I could not have loaded.
Does Imnuts files for stock recovery need to be unzipped?

Use SirVilhelm's post for the Odin flashable and make sure you are using the Odin exe from Adam's bootloader unlock thread. Or flash Revision 3 instead of the full stock image. I borked my phone slightly and this worked.
Uncheck auto reboot, and after it finishes unplug and pull battery and wait for 10 seconds so it doesnt keep going back to odin.
Report back if it works at all
EDIT: Imnuts file does not need to be unzipped. Use as is.

your getting corrupt downloads because of something on your end...That's the part your failing to understand... you keep saying "oh well that don't work for me"....ok but there must be a reason. All those files and methods that have been provided work for everyone else including myself. Take a step back make sure your doing everything correctly and make sure your pc is clean and no viruses...again its something on your end.

I have been working with the above poster on this issue for a couple days. He has supposedly tried all these files you posted and they don't work for him. there is something going on from his side of the coin...
Very informative response.I thank you a bunch. I ended up using Imnuts stock rom and she booted up fine.I needed to know when those special rooted stock files were there ending in xz format.I could not get Odin to see them.I was not going ti buy this whole brick thing because I was at least able to get into Odin.
I have yet to get Casual to work though even though my machines see my phone in ADB
Happy holidays!

I provided you with the same links? Now all of a sudden imuts rom worked?? come on tell the truth what else was the problem?? Im not buying it lol...glad you figured it out tho. :good:
I've got my old Galaxy s2 and decided to root it, cause if I brick it, It wouldn't matter much. After using Odin to put a kernal on it, it only goes to the startup screen with the warning triangle. I can get it to the CW recovery screen, but it doesn't do anything after making a selection. I'm now stuck and not sure what to do. I'm super new at this, if not obvious.
Odin flash your stock firmware and start again......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Where would I that?
You get the firmware from sammobile dot com Or samsung updates dot com.
Odin can be found on xda and the Samsung USB drivers can be found on here too.
You can get Odin and the drivers here.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Most of the advice in that thread can be followed even if you don't have any problems with odin flashing.
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
Took me a little while to finally find a copy of the stock firmware. Flashed it, and now the phone boots up and says,
'gaudiuscc_bootimage.jpg' draw failed
If you flashed 4.0.4 don't try this, but have you tried booting into recovery to do the wipes?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
It has Clock Work on it, but when I make a selection on the recovery screen it doesn't do anything. It goes to a black screen with the CW logo, where the new menu should be. If I hit the power button again it takes me back to the main menu. I can't even shutdown the phone from the recovery screen.
If you flashed a stock firmware then it won't have ClockworkMod recovery on it....
It should be Android 3e recovery.
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
I don't know why I thought that it still had Clock Work on it. I've got it to the recovery screen, and it won't let me make a selection. It makes it seem like the power button dosen't work, but if it didn't there would be no way to turn it on.
I don't know why that's happening either, but as a workaround you could try installing the correct PhilZ recovery....They come as zip or tar files....so you can use the tar file with odin.
PhilZ is a touch based recovery, so you don't need to rely on using the buttons.

Flash the full stock firmware of your Galaxy S2. Make sure that you wipe the data too. You can get the stock firmware from Sammobile.com. Make sure that you flash the stock kernel too.

Alright, so now the recovery works, even if it wasn't touch enabled. So now I think I'm at the point at which I first tried to root it a while back. I think I installed some wrong firmware. It's the Alltel model (and maybe also the US cellular model), but the AT&T intro plays then freezes. Can I just install a different ROM on it?
What is your Model Number? GT-I9100,GT-I9100G, or what?

Then you should flash the firmware that is only for that model number.

I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Every download link is dead or just not there anymore.
And would I flash it the same way I have with the recovery stuff?
Hmmm dead download links for the Galaxy S2? Sorry but I can't help you if there is no more download link for your stock firmware.

If not have a read of this and see if it helps:- Go to Galaxy SII General forum Find This:- [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED) By Phistachio.
I could not find an exact match of my phone for firmware and in the end went for the country /region and local service provider. I guess I got lucky! Once you get JB or ICS running you can load a recovery like TWRP and then "Progress" to your choice of custom ROMs.
