So today i was trying to root my phone this morning i was using a method called Casual R465 by Adam Outler. When i tryed using the software it would try to load some of the software but half way through it would give a a error message and say to enter in a pastebin user name and would say failed and error. from watching videos i never seen this so i closed the software and tryed a few more times. nothing seems to work. i left my phone plugged in after a few minutes i noticed my phone was looping the samsung galaxy note 2 logo over and over. i have tryed the volume up+home+power and it doesnt seem to work. When i do hold volume down+home+power i do get the odin mode option. i have tryed running odin on my PC and download firmwares but when i do it will start loading then give me a Fail message. im a bit worried if someone could help i would greatly appreciate it
in odin i says
Odin Mode (red)

You need to read through Adams thread, if I remember right there was something about certain versions and drivers.... your not bricked, just ran into a road block. Please use Q & A or post your question in the appropriate thread.
You have used an older version of casual... Should have used r515....now you need to go back to odin and use stock rom to resume handset to normal mode

Having recently installed a miui rom, i found that my phone has become brocked. I can go to dwonload mode, and I can turn it on but there is only a blank screen. Does anyone know how to unbrick it?
Thanks
go into download mode open up ODIN and flash a stock ROM. Simple as that.
you should buy a jig to get download mode. Did you tried recovery mode ?

He said he can access Download mode which means he can flash a stock ROM and all will be good.
I can't seem to go into recovery mode

to get recovery get into download mode open Odin and flash CF-Root Kernel and then try to get into download mode that way.
I flashed the CF Root Kernel (XW_CLK_KF3), but it failed in Odin

my t-mobile galaxy s2 is dead after ICS upgrade failed
i am noobi. my galaxy s2 went through 2 stages before becoming dead.
1. i tried to flash I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar using odin. it got stuck in connection mode. then failed. when rebooted the phone, i got a message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".
2. now, odin still sees it. I tried different ROMs then the phone becomes dead. the phone is dead even after pressing the vol up+vol dn or any other key combination.
Now, windows 7 reports driver error when connecting the phone via usb. Linux sees the Qualcom modem, but heimdall failed to detect the phone. Any suggestion beside throwing my phone in trash is appreciated.
If you can't get into download mode (home/power/volume down), only thing you can try before you send it back to Samsung or get it JTAG repaired is a jig, which unfortunately is unlikely to work. Still worth a try tho.

Try uploading a stock kernel first, then try uploading the rom
Do we have to have a jig?

I had the Exact same problem as you this is what you need to do.
1. Take everything out of your phone micro sd ,sim battery
2.Get your Usb Port and connect the first side to your pc but not to the phone
3.Insert Battery
4.Hold the vol down butt and at the same time connect the Other side of the cable into the phone then you will see
DOWNLOAD MODE!!!!!
5.From there install your sock rom again using samfirmware.com
6.Done
I was trying to install cyanogen on my galaxy s2 which is rooted with clockwork mod but after the install finished and I rebooted, it got stuck on the boot screen - the black screen with the words "Samsung Galaxy s2" and the yellow triangle on it.
I can't seem to figure out how to load download/recovery mode via the phone. I know you're supposed to hold down volume down + home + power, but I think it doesn't work on the ATT model since the home key is capacitive so it doesn't register. I got around this to flash clockwork mod by connecting the phone to my computer and using adb. Now that it's stuck on the boot screen, though, the computer won't recognize it so I'm unable to get to recovery and restore my phone.
How do I get my phone back to working order?
I think there is an att sgs2 forum, but your best bet is to get it into download mode since you can't get in recovery.
Edit: try using kies it may help recognizing your phone or try on another computer
I've been through this stage a few times in the last 24hrs as I got to grips with my new S2.
My basic un-bricking solution was to boot the phone in Download mode and use Odin with a suitable "Samsung Official" ROM from www.samfirmware.com. The one I downloaded came with the latest Odin included. It had four *.tar.md5 files and the one which unbricked my phone was called CODE_I9100_blah_blah.tar.md5.

thanks for the help bro.
I was in the process of rooting my phone with Odin and using Clockwork Mod Recovery Odin flashable .tar file when I accidentally unplugged it while it was in the process of starting. Now I'm stuck on a screen where it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
In the corner of the phone it reads
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I717
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES(1 COUNTS)
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
I need answers.... Would appreciate it
Download kies and while on that screen go to tools-firmware upgrade and installation that should get you back to stock
Did that, it downloaded then proceeded with the update and never went through. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, it never even hit 1%. I re did them steps tried to initialize it once more and all it does it download firmware then go away. Is it possible the phone is bricked?
If you can get into that screen its probably a soft brick, does odin recognize the device in in that weird download mode?

Hello folks,
I've a friend who's not a Technical person, however, he tried what he shouldn't have and now he has a totally dead S2.
The problems:
1. Phone doesn't switch on, nor does it goes to download or recovery mode - I tried it all.
2. When I connect a charger or usb - It does start showing the battery icon and while connected to the cable, if I turn it on it stays at the Samsung logo forever.
3. Since I don't know how to even get it to download mode, I'm unable to go any further.
What he did:
1. Trying to upgrade to JB, I think he messed up with the kernel by uploading one which may not be compatible as I've heard S2 has different variants. (He loaded Siyah 4.2)
2. Before doing this, he had connected to ODIN and was trying to load the official JB file but it always got stuck on one of the steps and that's when his phone got a bit sick - it would show "Please connect to KIES and try a recovery" kind of message. And this led him to do Step 1, which he shouldn't have.
I read a lot of posts, tried a lot of things but the phone never goes to download mode. And I've no clue how to try anything else?
So experts, I need your help here and I want to know if this phone will start at all? Can we somehow get it to work? If not at home, can the people at Samsung flash it or something?
Please help. Lots of thanks already!

try this method
if u have any mini usb cable cut it and peel of the skin and short the the 4th and 5th pin with 300k resistor or 100k*3 resistor and connect to mobile u will directly goto the download mode remove this pin and connect pc in odin mode and flash first with ics rom and if it is success and then try jelly bean try good luck
I have the same problem.
Today i tried fixing a bricked galaxy s2(yellow triangle with exclamation mark on boot) by reinstalling the stock firmware with odin and a pit file.
During the install i got stuck at NAND write start.So i took the battery out to get out of download mode and put it back in.When i tried going to download mode,it wouldn't start,charge,boot,anything!it's like it's completly dead.
Is there any other way to go to download mode without using a JIG?

Sorry to say this mate......you shoulda read some threads.....
If you had, you'd have realised.....
1) you start messing with pit files as a LAST resort
2) you NEVER pull a battery during an odin flash
3) when you saw the failure of 'nand write start' there was still the possibility to recover your phone....right up to the point when you pulled the battery.......
So now you have no recovery mode, no download mode and no on screen indication when you plug the charger in.....
Don't bother with the jig.....it's a long shot under the best of circumstances.....
There Is one thing you could try.....
Take the battery out. Press the vol down, power and home keys simultaneously......and WHILE holding the keys.....reinsert the battery....you will probably need help to do it.
It *might* kickstart the phone into download mode.....or.......it might not.
If it fails.....then Samsung warranty repair is realistically your only option.....Don't mention XDA or rooting or custom roms or odin or anything like that. Play dumb....say you were updating with kies, the phone switched off and wouldn't turn on again.......

Thanks for you answer!Will a JTAG work?If i can find one?The phone is off the warranty.
The way I see it is that at the moment, you own a paperweight.....so best to *try* the cheaper options first....jtagging being the cheapest......
If that doesn't sort it....you have 2 options.....
1) replace the mainboard
2) buy an entirely new phone.....
Basically whichever option you choose from now on will have *some* financial cost........

A 3rd option is to buy a 2nd hand phone with maybe a cracked screen,and use the board from that.

I rooted my phone successfully, tweaked a couple roms successfully as well. The last rom I tweaked was I think something to do with init.d. After I tweaked the rom, I restarted my phone and bam... that $H1T stood stuck at the boot animation loop a.k.a BRICKED.
I downloaded odin and some tars, but before that I deleted partition erased in recovery mode holding up and power button. I went to download mode using down and power button. I failed 9 times using odin, and then eventually I got the box screen to display "PASS" with a green color. I restarted the phone and it had a different model lol. However my phone still did not get back to the way its suppose to start up. I tried using new files for ODIN, and everything seemed about right until it said: Wait about 2 minutes, it was the last step I think and I was actually waiting 15 minutes, so I got anxious and unplugged it and restarted my phone and it shows a different model instead of SPH-D710 it shows GT-19100 and goes straight into recovery mode.
All I can do is scroll up and down using volume buttons but I cant hit the (ok button) which is the (power button) to attempt the action I want. I have a boost mobile samsung galaxy S2. Also Odin, Kies and my Computer does not recognize my phone anymore through usb. I tried usb samsung drivers update, and I even tried a bunch of different versions of ODIN including a different computer. My downloads folder is literally packed with a whole bunch of tool aid kits for my phone lol. OH and by the way before I used odin I did end the process of Kies in the task manager so yup. I do not know what else to do, I tried different computers I think I am pretty much PHUCKED over now. Unless someone has another solution.
I do not understand why I cant enter nothing in recovery mode all of sudden, I can only move up or down. I can only go into either recovery mode or download mode. In recovery mode it says:
Deleting Cryption Meta Data
-- Copying media files...
Successfully copied meida files.
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Successfully updated application.
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
If it shows I9100 on the boot screen instead of SPH-D710 you've obviously used firmware for the I9100 on your device, and there's a fair possibility you'll be making a trip to a service centre.
Find stock SPH-D710 firmware, flash that with Odin. Where ? No idea, like most people here know almost nothing about this model; try the usual haunts - Samfirmware, AndroidFirmwares.Net, Samsung-updates.com, Google search),.
