hey I know there has been many threads about this but my case is unique and believe me i spent more than 6 hours searching the forums for a fix but no luck
I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy S2...tried to root it and it is stuck on boot loop
so i tried the steps written on the thread (do not post a new thread) but it is not working because i can not get inot recovery mode at all
I installed a stock xxki3 and still I can not fix the problem...
please help me
Can you post your device info.
Eg: I9100 international version
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yep, you're truly unique
Why not start with telling us your exact product and what happens when trying to get into both recovery and download modes.
my device is I9100 middle east version
it says when i remove the battery MODEL: GT-I9100G
problem description:
I turned on the device as soon as i bought it and it said 2.3.4
so I downloaded everything needed to root it and i started odien and everything went well....except for the fact that my galaxy got stuck with galaxy s logo screen and big yellow triangle at the bottom....and nothing else happen.... it says like this for hours and hours....
so i tried to go inot recovery mode...but nothing happens after doing the volume up+power+home ...still takes me to the previous screen with yellow triangle
tried download mode and it works fine....
i can go into download mode but not the recovery mode
please guys what do i do

You need to download files to use for your specific phone and try again. You said you have a GT-I9100G, right? Well, where did you get the files you used to root?
You also said in the title of this post that you installed XXKI3. Well, installing XXKI3 and rooting are not the same thing. Which did you do? Root using an insecure kernel? Or install an XXKI3 firmware?
I'm going to go ahead and guess that you tried to flash a firmware intended for the regular GT-I9100, and not the GT-I9100G. These two phones have different hardware, so firmwares are NOT compatible.
Amirite?
first I tried to root it using insecure kernel...when it got stuck with galaxy s 2 logo screen with yellow triangle.... I searched all over the net for a solution and one of the solutions was is to flash xxki3 ....and I did that.... but it always fail.... I also tried to flash litening rom... but at the end...it fails at MODEM stage i believe....
Now all i want is to get my phone working....I dont wanna root it anymore....
please guys please help me
Stop flashing it.
You are doing more damage.
You have the 9100G, but you're flashing 9100 stuff
I am not flashing it anymore.... but I need a solution.... I want to know how can I get it back up and running
please help me

When you get the error, does it say failed red color? Of course not.
Tell us excactly the error you are getting! If you want our help give us all the information that you have.
What error message did you get? What are the steps you took?
Hi all.
I have already posted my problem in this thread which I have read to the end ( [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G )
but was not able to get any solution so I'm starting a new thread hopefully someone might be able to help me and sorry if I was not suppose to start a new thread.
My problem is as follows and hope that someone can help.
I have downloaded odin mobile and installed it on my S2 I9100 G which previously had CM 10 installed on it and I wanted to flash the official firmware using Odin mobile. I did run it and then the phone prompted me for M5 or Md5 that was detected and should click yes to verify before flashing. I clicked yes then it started verifying and when it was done it rebooted and then was stuck on the (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen) and did not want to move. I waited for an hour and a half and nothing happened. When I removed the battery (I could not reset or do anything else) and put it back, the phone turned on by itself and stayed still on the starting screen (Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-19100G black screen)
Now I'm not being able to put it in recovery nor download mode.
Can any one help and anyone knows if the jtag dongle can actually force it to go to download mode even at this stage
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Ok thank you guys. I think I was able to fix it and revive my phone.
go to service centre they solve your problem

dear I have Galaxy note 3 Sm-n900 i had the same problem this is how i fixed the problem
1. Power of your device
2- when completely of hold volume up+ home button+ power button together for few secs
3- when Samsung logo shows up release all 3 keys and it will come into recovery mode
4- first erase all user data( use volume down to navigate and power button to select)
5- erase cache/wipe cache(same procedure)
6- now reboot
when your phone will boot up it will be fixed
but remember to keep SIM Card in phone while doing this
I hope it can help you
if the problem is still there you can flash the ROM once again some times it also helps
any other help i am always there to help

Hi there, how exactly do I flash the MG4 modem.bin via Odin
I would be doing this for the ATT version of the Galaxy S3 but I am encountering the same issues that the OP here is describing
I have Odin and know how to use it, just not sure where I find the MG4 modem bin file
Best Solution that works

I agree with you on this and I've done it myself and it works 110%. So if any of u guys out there are facing the same problem, don't waste your money on sending your phone to the service center, they'll just eat up your money and your time.....instead just follow the steps and I can bet u it'll solve your problems. I have rooted my Samsung S3 from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 to 4.3 and then downgraded it back to 4.1.2 which only then I encountered the problem of "Not Registered on Network". But then, after going through various forums and lastly your article, I decided to try it out myself and it works beautifully without any hiccups.
Prior to doing anything on your phone, u have to download Odin3 v.3.09 and after that, make sure u download the following firmware:-
a) AP_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
b) BL_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
c) MODEM_I9300BUUGMJ3_REV02_REV04_CL1413323.tar.md5 file
d) CSC_VFG_I9300VFGGMJ5_1986192_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Just for pointers, please follow closely these steps:- (No shortcut please)
1. Load the file sinto Odin now:
Click on the AP button on Odin and select the AP_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Click on the BL button on Odin and select the BL_I9300XXUGMJ9_1902166_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
Click on the CP button on Odin and select the MODEM_I9300BUUGMJ3_REV02_REV04_CL1413323.tar.md5 file
Click on the CSC button on Odin and select the CSC_VFG_I9300VFGGMJ5_1986192_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file
2. Click the Start button to begin flashing the Android 4.3 firmware on your International Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, and wait until you see a PASS! message in Odin’s top left box.
3. When you get PASS! message, your phone will restart automatically. You can then disconnect your phone from PC.
If you see FAIL message instead of the PASS in Odin’s top left box, that a problem. Try this now: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and thenrepeat from Step 3 of this guide again.Also, If device is Stuck at setup connection or on any other process, then too, try this: disconnect your S3 from PC, close Odin, remove phone’s battery and put it back inside in 3-4 seconds, open Odin and then repeat from Step 3 of this guide again.
Good Luck & may the force be with u............

Hi all
thanks for all,
I got the solution , i Flash bootloader with odin.
Now my phone is stared but not getting able to register in Mobile network , seems my IMIE number is lost ,
I have old nandroid backup i am going to restore to store my IMIE
Thanks All for your help
Hate to break it to you, but restoring a nandroid isn't that likely to bring your IMEI back. If you're very lucky, flashing a stock rom for your country/carrier (if you're already running one, flash others) might bring it back if it's a case of temporary IMEI loss. If not, many mobile repair shops (not Samsung service centres) should be able to write the IMEI back to the device relatively cheaply. And if not, a Samsung authorised repairer can do it (or they may replace the motherboard which has already been suggested to you), but that can obviously be somewhat expensive.
Or if lucky op might find a efs backup somewhere in internal memory
