Hello guys.
I wanted to root my gs3 with cf autoroot, but then it just hanged. The phone is still connected to pc and in download mode and nothing happens.
The screenshot is attached.

Is your device model SGH-I747?
If true: first of all- wrong forum mate second- is your phone plugged to PC while in download mode? if no- then do it, if yes- try to use Odin 3.07 instead.
If false (and you have i9300 model): you're trying do a root with wrong package, try with this one: http://download.chainfire.eu/229/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-m0-m0xx-gti9300.zip?retrieve_file=1
Thanks for reply.
Everything was set just as it should be. I then unplugged it and phone wouldn't boot, so I flashed the stock rom over it and now its working fine. I will try to root again later with odin 3.0.7.

Hi guys
I have a factory gs2, I was updating the kernel using kies and the phone decided to give off an error.
The phone and kies ask me to restart the phone and retry the installation but the phone is no longer detected by kies. The computer recognises the usb device and loads Samsung drivers but nothing else
Currently the phone shows a black screen with a phone exclamation mark and a computer. I am able to put the phone in odin mode.
I cannot access the phone using adb on my pc.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this, as I ideally need to retrieve some files on the phone (but not a big deal) I really just need my phone working.
Thanks
Go into download mode and root you're phone.

Didn't know you could update just the kernel with kies, anyhoo if that's all you were doing try to reflash a stock'ish kernel through odin. If that doesn't work you'll need to flash the stock firmware through odin, then you'll have access to your files on the sdcard.
The above comment should suffice
This thread has original firmwares and Kernels and this thread has rooted kernels
And use Odin to flash kernels unless they are CWM flashable
And backup your EFS Floder
Thanks everyone. I followed the instruction for how to root a g2 and it worked!
hello,
I just got SGS2 (I9100 model), it had costumed operator rom, which I wanted to root.
The android version was 2.X.X, and the kernel name was something with "KG2",
* so I downloaded the right CF-ROOT (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4, also tried with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4)
* entered it to "PDA" section in ODIN 1.85
* entered to "Download Mode" in the phone
* clicked "Start" in Odin.
Odin successfully finished running (it took 42 sec), and the phone rebooted but got stuck on the "Galaxy S II logo" with a warning triangle.
I'm so upset right now. how to revert what i did?

yes.
Flash stock ICS then proper CF-Root.
Flashing kernel should take 7 seconds.

If you can get into download mode use CheckFus to get your latest stock firmware and flash it with Odin. Then write down the firmware version and search for the corresponding CF-Root kernel as you already did for your old firmware.
Root via new method...
Google for it ;-p

I can't flash rom's. only kernels.
whenever I'm trying to flash entire rom, Odin got stuck on flashing the first file "boot.ini" (it gets NAND write error)

I'll try the "FIX THE UNFLASHABLE GSII" guide tomorrow and update you.
right now I cant do nothing because the battery is empty and no matter what I cant load it. why it's happening?
some symptoms:
* I can't even got to download mode, it's says that the battery is low. even if the phone connected to the computer
* the computer doesn't recognize the phone, but when it's connected there's a big empty battery pic on the galaxy.
btw, I really think that my windows drivers/usb ports screw me over. (for example kies never recognized my phone and I had other problems with the usb, sometimes it recognized the phone, sometimes not.)

Things to try to charge the battery:
1. remove battery from device for some minutes
2. reinstall battery, connect AC wall charger and watch what happens on the screen
3. charge for at least 3 hours without doing anything else with the device (let it charge even if it does not look like the device is charging)
When the battery is charged:
1. check if entering download mode works again
2. if download mode does not work try with a JIG
When download mode works:
1. uninstall Kies
2. install USB drivers only from here
3. use stock USB cable
4. check if ODIN can connect to device
5. if 1-4 does not work try ODIN from another PC
If all works well, restart by flashing the latest stock firmware for your phone.

How to find the latest stock firmware for my phone?
...
MistahBungle said:
If you can't get into download mode, that's probably a moot point. But, assuming you have and I9100/I9100T, look here, Samfirmware or use the PC version of Checkfus to download the latest stock firmware for your phone model/country/and carrier if you want a carrier branded firmware (you can also often get unbranded country specific firmwares with Checkfus if they are available for your country).

When I''ll get a new battery and hopefully get into download mode, should I just burn this firmware with ODIN? I don't need to root the phone first?
(the original fw was not-rooted)
...
Problem Solved!
in a very simple way, just tried from another computer and stock usb cable.
I flashed original branded Rom and it's just worked.
problem probably was one of those:
* bad windows drivers
* bad usb cable (not likely)
* some other **** got wrong with windows
thank you all
Hi
Suddently ODIN cant'n see my SG3 when in download mode, in normal mode nothing is wrong and ODIN connect fine. What can I do to solve that? (BTW: It used to work)
Is there an other way to flash CWM recovery.
mobil odin

if you have root permission, you can use mobil odin. And on pc check your driver
Hi,
I was trying to remove any trace that my Samsung i9300 phone had ever been rooted but in the process I forgot to re enable the USB Debugging mode so consequently now I am locked in the download mode & if I try to reboot, the phone states "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."! So as you can hopefully appreciate I am a little peed off with myself & for the life of me I cannot see away out of it so is there anyone out there please who can shine a bit of life on my troubled phone & please do not forget that the USB Debugging is NOT enabled.....
Kind regards with thanks
Phil
UPDATE
I have now tried flashing CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 with Odin3 v1.85, but whilst the phone appears to be making a full recovery & Odin confirms a successful flashing it stops on the black Samsung welcome screen with an exclamation mark to the top left hand corner to the screen, so could anyone advise me what my next step should be please?
flash a stock rom through odin.

when you flashed the ROM, did you unplug the USB connector?
sounds like you bricked your S3 mate
You said that you flashed CF-root?
CF-root flashes recovery and kernel for root access.
Download a full stock rom from sammobile and flash it :good:
USB Debugging has no affect on download mode... :facepalm:
Upon Odin confirming that it was successful it was then & only then did I unplug the USB cable

Given that Odin confirmed that it was successful after the flashing the the latest UK firmware from Sammobile I then unplugged the USB cable, but I then found that the phone hadn't actually finished & instead it stopped on the black Samsung welcome screen & it won't budge from that. This may or may not be the reason for this, but I feel that I may have forgot to enable the USB DEBUGGING, so would this cause the phone not to boot correctly?
As I am unable to boot the phone, I am also unable to enable the USB DEBUGGING, so is there anything that I can do to resolve these issues please?

You say that the USB Debugging has not effect on download mode so why do other users/developers stress that it needs to be enabled?

I have a same problem with OP.
After entered to recovery mode and wiped/cleared cache, I didn't boot the phone, just continue to download mode.
It's mean USB Debugging is not enable after recovery. Now my phone can't boot also can't charge just appear msg:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Recovery via Kies can't be done because my phone have a problem IMEI=unknown and Baseband=unknown before this happen, so Kies can't recognise the phone. If IMEI is valid and Kies can connect the phone, the problem can be resolved by Kies.
I hope someone here have a good solution how to resolve the problem that ODIN can't reflash the phone because 'USB Debugging' is not enabled in the first place.

hi everybody!
this is my first post.. hope someone can help me.
i just rooted the galaxy s2 and wanted to install cwm by factory recovery. That went wrong, i guess a wrong file. Now im stuck in a boot loop. I cant enter recovery mode, only the download mode. So tried to connect my phone with the pc to use Odin, but it doesnt recognize the device (never did not even before this brick). Installed kies and tried every driverinstall but no succes, it gave me code 43. i have windows 7..
so.. no recovery, no usb.. what can i do? im almost desperate.

Try another computer then. Your phone gets detected even if no driver is installed. As long as the computer does not detect at least an unkown USB device no driver will bring you any further.
