Aha, ive just updated though, i really don't want to have to go through the trouble of setting everything up again -.- took me long enough to find the drivers for my wireless adapter xD

I'm not sure if you're stock or not, and if the setting is different for stock, but try settings>storage>menu button>USB computer connection.
Make sure this first option is checked.

Should mention then, im on 4.1.2.
I do not have the option to enable or disable anything like that, infact, i can't press menu in the storage section? Nothing happens?

You are in the wrong forum this is not I9305 q&a
Have you flashed I9300 firmware ????
this sounds like damaged USB port on Phone or damaged firmware .

Too be honest, i think this is an I9305 forum as well,l it says "> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Charging, but PC doesn't recognise it"
The mobile is two days old, first time ive touched the port.

Please Help, triangle with !

I know this probably has been asked too many times before, but I swear I searched for this specific issue and found no answer.
A friend of mine bought a SGS2 on swappa, it came with the ****ing triangle in the boot image and we paid no attention to it untill we tried to flash CM10 on it. <it is currently running cm7.
We tried the triangle away app and it displayed the "trouble parsing the package" then i read that this app works only on jellybean, my question is how do I upgrade andoid if Im not able to flash any rom on it.
Here are a couple of pictures so that you can have an idea of the errors im getting.

You are trying to install an i777 ROM (maybe AT&T or T-Mobile) to an ordinary i9100. Download the proper ROM and install it.

It's impossible to tell. The splash screen comes when SPOILER: the flash counter has been tripped And status 7 comes back like every week somehow

Really? Since when does the i777 have T-Mobile roms?
Also. Here's a word of advice. That screen can be on i777 or 9100.

Fail... twice. T-Mobile doesn't have I777s and that triangle is for tripping the flash counter. It could be an I9100 or an I777.
OP: your issue is you haven't searched enough. The answer IS out there... ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Here's a clue. Read the fu¢king stickies. Yes, a bit of emoragekill. Why? Because you haven't put more then 45 seconds into finding the answer. It took you longer to create this thread than you spent searching.
I gave you the answer. This thread has run its extremely unnecessary course.

Pull the battery and make sure which phone you have. Go to that forum and look for a 'stock rooted rom' and follow those instructions. Then you should not have a problem flashing cm10 (if it is available)

Hey guys!

I have recently bought an S2 and i love it ! The thing is , i used to have an LG Optimus 2x , which`s OS sucked and i`ve rooted it and used an custom ROM , Paranoidandroid to be more precise. Now what im wondering is , does the S2 worth being rooted and use a custom ROM , like lets say CM 10.1 ? Since this phone is smooth anwyayz and dosent have any RAM problems because of the 1gigs it has ... will it be even smoother ? And if i flash the CM 10.1 is it gonna have any major bugs ? Oh and also , should i install a custom kernel as well ? Thanks!
Too late , already bircked it hahah , now im dowloading a stock rom so i can start everything again lmao
Lol read and follow instructions carefully mate and you can always try stock jellybean or the leaked one it has alot of mods too like multi window n smart stay etc... :thumbup:

I haven't tried samsungs JB, but going from samsungs ICS to CM9 was a great difference for me. I very much preferred their app alternatives over samsungs, and the standard theme looked way better.
Nothing you can't fix with root though I suppose.
Everything has gone as expected ...except the part when i`ve fried the motherboard hahahah lmao , after succesfully installing CM10.1 in CWM , the volatile one ,i`ve did a factory reset , it got stuck at formating /data aaand .. now im waiting for news about it and if it can be fixed since i dont have an warranty :<

You bricked it by flashing a ROM or by rooting it?
If you ran outta juice while doing any of those you could have a soft brick instead of a hard brick.

i9100 Bricked

Hello everyone
I have in my possession a Bricked Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100, tried to restore as I usually Firmware via Odin with i9100XXKL1 reaching only to the kernel. Can anyone give me a hand?
I've tried with Odin 3.4 coming to the same result, I changed the USB cable (all I have are originals), I tried on 3 computers, all with the same result.

I have left the following message when you turn on the phone after wanting to upgrade "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" (is the explanation that a friend gave me, the team is his, I thought I could give him a hand and he had had a similar situation on my Galaxy S2, which solved .)
As I have already downloaded firmware, full package proceeded to try to flash it with ODIN reaching it in the picture, then odin and not advance, usually gives error, but more than that I failed.
I can't see the pictures you posted but i'm pretty sure there's a couple of threads that can help you sort this one out.

I just want to root my phone because i soft bricked it. I want ot be back on CM nightlies, and most of all i want to sim unlock.
Yes I know I am a noob but I have put in a solid 6 hours of searching, which is ****ing stupid because one forum member here is going to be able to link me the eact rom and kernal i need in 3 seconds.
My model number when i go to information is

Ok so I flashed seriyah kernal. I failed to write "Complete(Write) operation failed." in odin and then it said to reccont to kies and because of osmehting blah blah but i just relfahsed and now it is working fine again (4.1.2). but the problem still persists of me not being able ot flash seriyah.
Killed kies applications before you flashed?

I just can't understand why people ask for the exact file to flash, instead of trying to find out for themselves.
From what I see, its not that hard to find what ur looking for, unless ur too lazy to go through all the search results! And you can always double check with other members on whether ur doing stuff right or not.
If someone suggests you flash something, and you do it without knowing why or how, ur back to where u were before asking.
Believe me, the fun is all about learning what ur doing and why ur doing it. So after u have solved ur issue, u have not just helped ur device, u have helped urself too..
Just my 2 cents..

This link should help, it gives a step by step guide: http://galaxys2root.com/category/galaxy-s2-root/
Using search button "root sgs2 4.1.2" . U should watch for a kernel

Word of advice....don't go offsite for rooting methods....other sites get their info here, and if not, it probably shouldn't be trusted anyway.
And for rooting....visit the PhilZ thread....search the thread for the kernel that matches your firmware and download the ZIP version. This can be flashed in the stock recovery....without Odin. ....
Not sure how? Search function will help......

Ariza patch killed imie (how do i recover imie)

Hello everyone
thank for coming so far to read this post
(im a noob)
so i was playing around with my phone trying to unlock it my self (bad idea)
so i ended up using ariza patch and applying the .v5 patch
so after that i have emergency calls only everything else works apart from the sim i even have signal
so i went to setting and now see that i have a generic imie with 0049...
while the original imie was 35599....
this phone is no stolen or blocked i did this and no one else
i have tried using cdma but everytime i put my phone in RMNET + DM + MODEM and plug it into the comp using a usb program wont read from the phone as its recognized as a modem not serial port?
please can anyone help me get my old imie back so i can use my phone again
im on stock samsung firmware android 4.1.2
Thank you very much
First, stop flashing things you don't fully understand -you'll only make it worse.
Second, questions go in the Q&A forum, report your own post and ask for it to be moved.
Third, flash a full stock rom via odin on your pc -make sure it's an official version from sammobile.
If that doesn't fix it and I'm assuming you didn't backup up your efs folder, then you will have to have your phone repaired.

No, there's no way to use CDMA... This is a GSM phone.

sorry to bother again i see ur in the uk
how much would it cost if i brought to the nearest service centre? and let them repair it and do i need to do any preps?
£20 maybe... it should still be under warranty though
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Warranty should not / may not cover user playing about with the phone .
True but the device should still be under warranty so its best to send it to official centres. 3rd party mobile phone shops will void warranty. Even if you pay official to get a repair, warranty for other things will remain in tact.

My phone had exactly the same problem and i went to the above official service centre (this is a walk in service centre)
just do a couple of things if you've been playing with firmwares.
1) backup your phone (don't forget calendar items! i lost mine because it wasn't synced to google and i didn't know)
2) root your phone and run triangle away to reset flash counter
3) flash official firmware, (Full Wipe) for you carrier - samfirmware will have the correct version
4) check download mode to make sure its says official firmware and your flash counter is zero
5) Take to service centre and explain that your phone is no longer picking up any networks and your IMEI is blank
To be fair it only taken 48 hours to fix mine. was well happy with the service. All work was covered under warranty.
Also just to clear my conscience my phone had official samsung firmware on but it was rooted so i had to do all the above steps.
Hope this helps
