Since a few weeks my Samsung Galaxy S2 gt-i9100 won't respond to any USB connection. No battery charging, no connection to pc, and also a JIG is not working.
Also note that when last charging a few weeks ago the phone was very hot and vibrating. After that the battery was empty.
When I connect the battery to another S2 it is charging correctly. When I put another battery into the S2 with the problem it is working, but USB is still not working.
I have flashed the phone in october 2011 to cyanogenmod 7.1, with the warning that I will lose waranty.
I think it is not a cyanogenmod issue, but a hardware faillure. Any suggestion how to get the phone back to original rom so I can send it back to samsung for waranty?
If it is not possible, any suggestions what to do know? Maybe getting the partnr GH59-10949A and replace it by myself?
Thanks in advance!
Search for stock rom on Samfirmware.com, flash in Mobile Odin perhaps ? Then use Triangle Away to reset flash counter ?

Triangle away only works on ICS roms.
1.Download any ICS rom, but get one that can be inscalled via recovery.
2. Download Triangle away, let it do its thing.
3. Download the stock rom you want, and sent it over wifi to your phone or download it on your phone.
4. Buy Chain fires mobile odin and flash it. Make sure you untick root, or you will need to go back to step 1 again.
Same thing happened to me they said I got water into the USB and wont fix it but I bought the parts to fix it on ebay.

Thanks. But I don't understand what to do with step 1. Do I have to download a ICS rom to my phone or to my computer, and then what to do with it?
1.Download any ICS rom, but get one that can be inscalled via recovery.
Put on phone install via CWM recovery .

Backup stuff, eg sms etc, (smsbackup+, always works well for me), and copy anything you want to keep eg photos etc to your pc via airdroid.
Download ics rom to phone
Grab triangle away
Grab mobile odin
Download stock rom to phone
Flash ics rom via Cwm recovery
Use triangle away
Flash stock rom via mobile odin
Delete any custom roms from the phone (aka files)

Hi Guys, I have the same problem.
my usb only works for charging. i can see the pins are bent inside the connector and i can't get it to connect to the pc.
i can't seem to find any ICS official rom for recovery install despite searching for 3 days. can any one point me in the right direction?
wanam's stock thread
salesale's stock thread
both in android dev forum
If you have read the last post you would understand!
If your region has ics, just flash using mobile Odin and use triangle away to reset counter.
If your region has GB only than as the post above says
Sammobile.com for stock roms

if you have already rooted and CWM installed you can have latest ICS CWM flashale stock rom from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292825
If you have to use Mobile ODIN as suggested by veyka above,
offial Roms for Mobile Odin can be downloaded from sammobile.com or from the link below for stock roms in my sig or from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
Sorry maybe i should have given full details.
I am currently on 2.3.5 and want to upgrade to ics. but i can't flash the phone as usb is not functioning.and anoyingly there is no OTA update!!! as i understand it I can update the firmware via Recovery by putting it onto the sd card and restarting in 3 button mode. Correct?
I think i have the files downloading from samfirmwares.com now, but with 40 min to download!
[REF] Recover AT&T Note to GB Factory with Kies (Will NOT trip your flash counter!!)
Yes, I'm aware that this isn't the accepted way, but it DOES work even with a custom rom & rooted!!
You MUST have Kies full installed on the desktop/laptop and make sure you're updated to the latest version.
1) Boot your note into download mode
2) Connect your Note to the laptop with factory USB cable
2) Launch Kies on your desktop (full version)
4) Choose Tools, Firmware upgrade & initialization
a) While in download mode, pull battery and enter the S/N & model name (ALL CAPS!!)
b) It will prompt to initialize to original settings. Click "YES"
c) It will prompt to initialize the latest version. Click "YES"
d) It will download the firmware upgrade components (DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE!!)
5) It will prompt for firmware upgrade and initialization.
a) Click check box for reading above information
b) Click your choice if you want your information saved on Samsung Kies corporate servers (I choose WITHOUT saving).
Just kick back, wait and the phone will update to the original out of box software with the latest updates already applied. No issue with anything, no tripping of the flash counter, and Samsung/AT&T knows now different (if you tripped the counter back before performing this, or performed the process of installing CWM recovery through ADB as to NOT trip the flash counter when changing recovery).
This is the EXACT process I did, and had an AT&T tech verify and it's not detectable I was rooted, and was running a custom ICS ROM. Now, I will qualify that I DID the Recovery installation with ADB so that I didn't trip the counter with the Recovery installation. So if they are able to check the binary information to detect modification even with flash counter reset, that's out of my hands and can't confirm or deny.
This is ONLY to reset to factory GB Latest & greatest for performing OTA/Kies update of ICS when it's finally released.
Tagged, thanks.
Thanks for this. I just got my first android phone a few days ago and needed to go back to stock to return for a new one. I upgraded to ics, then recently flashed back to stock, but my baseband never changed and I was stuck with two on the counter. I'm super new to this and had an iPhone for 5 years, but I think I download the new cwm so I can reset the counter, then do the emergency download with kies and I should be back to stock out of the box, right? I just hope I can find an easy guide to get the updated cwm, I'll search in.the morning. Thanks again for the kies suggestion.

Thanks. Tried it for the hell of it and yes, you need to follow the OP instructions exactly but success if you do.
Thanks a lot. I've been looking for this, because event when i flash my note back to original rom, kies still didnt regconize the note.

Hi Agoat, I saw your sig you are on UCLE5 RC1, can you run touchwiz on this? i am running this rom from AppDroid too, but don't have touchwiz, can't run weather or add task widget to home screen. besides, this rom works perfectly smooth.
thanks
ever since i did this my phone keeps popping up communication error for looking for an update... is there a way to stop this from popping up????
Um, that's interesting because I've never run into this issue. Are you running the I717 on AT&T?? This has only been tested by me on the AT&T Branded US Galaxy Note.
It was confirmed by many (as seen on the thread) to work on the AT&T Note. Did you follow the directions completely? If you are able to get into download mode on the device, I'd say do it again and make sure you didn't end prematurely.

Hey, i think i have a problem here. I was on GB 'cause i follow the instructions and i finally got to gb but then i flashed the latest ics leak but there's a bug when i close something by touching the home button it makes like it crashed or something.. i tried to do this again but it keeps saying the S/N is invalid. Any clue?
Hey guys, new here (obviously). I'm also fairly new to flashing/rooting on Android in general.
I flashed my phone to one of the leaked ICS international versions (when I boot up my phone it says "Samsung Galaxy SII GT I9100" from Gingerbread. I did this a couple of days ago. There are a few problems main one being I can't use the phone app for my phone (ironic).
So since the ICS official version for the US AT&T phone came out, I was wondering.
How can I flash my phone to the stock ICS version? Any help would be great and I hope I did not post in the wrong section :\
Thanks so much in advance guys.
Download KIES, install the proper drivers, plug in your phone, update.
Although you probably messed up your phone flashing firmware for the wrong model....
BTW, you might want to at least make an attempt to read before making a thread. There is a thread already dedicated to upgrading your phone to the official AT&T Gingercream Sandwich update
At least pretend to look like you are genuinely interested. Or you know, follow the rules you agreed to upon signing up in the forums

I don't think the standard method is working. Just shows the battery on screen.
and in response to the kies reply; when I plug in the phone and sync it up with kies, kies says "Your device does not support firmware upgrade through kies" or something along those lines.
In response to the other guy, I'm terribly sorry, maybe you could help by posting a link to that thread? I tried looking around seeing if there was anything related to my issue and I couldn't find anything. Forgive my noob status?
Thanks guys.
I used the method that worked though. Held down power, vol down, and home..
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
looks like you need to read around and learn how to flash the secondary bootloader for UCKH7. It will change it back to the correct boot screen too. At least, that's what I think. I had to do it the other day after working on rooting the new LE5 stock.
Read the links in Creepy's signature.
To return your phone to I777 stock, flash the UCKH7 CL503881 stock binaries. The one-click downloader is the easiest. You will find the firmware in the Download Repository, link in my signature. This is the package that includes bootloaders and param.lfs.
Edit: I have been assuming you have the I777. This is true isn't it?
After you are at UCKH7 stock, you can use kies to update to stock ICS, or you can flash UCLE5 which is also in the Download Repository, at the bottom.
kk. I think what I'm gonna do is flash is completely back to stock gingerbread using one of his links and odin.
and plug it in through kies and see if that works to update it to ICS official.
Thanks guys! Sorry I caused such an uproar.
Thanks Creepy!! I will do just that
yes that is correct; I have the SGH-I777 At&t Samsung Galaxy S2.
It appears the one click exe that reverts my phone to stock software actually STOPS and "FAIL"s on the part where it's flashing the "cache."
My phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
Fortunately when I went download mode the top right corner says SGH-I777
instead of the international version.
I've tried the one-click several times and it still does not work. :\
Any advice?
Edit: Kies is not recognizing my phone ; "device not responding"
thanks again.
Make sure you have the USB Debugging mode turned off. It took me a few minutes to figure that out when I was trying to upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS via Kies earlier.
Not sure what's hanging it up. From your report, it appears that the secondary bootloader was successfully flashed. Do you recall what other steps completed before the fail?
You should be able to boot into recovery by holding vol+, vol- and pwr. Hold down until you enter recovery. Then wipe data/factory reset. Then try to flash the UCKH7 stock package without bootloaders. The link is in the return to the store guide linked in my signature. Or flash one of the stock plus root packages.
Hey thanks Creepy!
I really hate using the one-clickers, had no luck with 'em :|
I'd much rather use the blank Odin 1.85 exe I have that lets you fill in the files.
If I use that and the ---Return/Unbrick to Stock + Root: I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z (This contains the kernel, rooted system image, and modem.)--- download, what do I use for the bootloader slot or do I leave that empty?
thanks

That's a one-click downloader. If you want to flash the full package, there is a tar.md5 file in the Download Repository with everything in it, but it's all in one package, including the bootloaders, so you put it in the pda slot and it's the only file you flash.
In the Download Repository, there are also tars for Entropy512's packages which you can flash in Odin3. They are also one file tars and go in the pda slot. You can read about each one.
I'm not sure you need to flash the bootloaders again. I'd try to wipe data/factory reset and then flash a stock package without bootloaders first.
Applied the one-click with root Flash and now I'm back to gingerbread.
gonna see if I can get ICS working through kies..
looking good!!!
So my phone won't open.
I keep clicking the android but it keeps saying the google services framework has crashed.
and it won't connect to kies..
any ideas?

I wanna share my knowledge here
Learning from my experience using Samsung's devices, I found similarities in the way of reversing Samsung devices to stock rom.
So this guide should be practice for almost all Samsung devices
Ok, let's get started
First, download all these stuff
1. Samsung USB Driver or go to this Thread (install it)
2. Samsung Kies (install it)
3. Odin v.4xx or Odin v1-3 or go to this Thread (just open when need it)
4. And of course your stock rom
Download from here (choose the right stock rom and the newest depend on your model)
5. Extract the stock rom using winrar/7zip
-you should 3 files PDA_xx.tar.md5, Phone/Modem_xx.tar.md5 and CSC_xx.tar.md5 or more
-If you have just two files, .xxxx.tar.md5 & SS_DL.dll, i'll give it the guide too
Second, Go to download mode
- For device with Menu button : hold power button+menu button+volume down (vol -)
- For device without Menu button : hold power button+volume down (vol -)
For the 3 Files or more
- Go to download mode
- Plug your device to PC/Laptop
- Open Odin
- Choose PDA (browse it from your extracted stock rom)
- Choose phone/modem (browse it from your extracted stock rom)
- CSC (browse it from your extracted stock rom)
- If there's more files, just put it on the same box of the files names
- Check list auto reboot and f.reset time(look at the left)
- Click start and wait
- If success, should be writen "PASS" on left side
For 2 files only
- Go to download mode
- Plug your device to PC/Laptop
- Open Odin
- Just choose PDA and browse it the file(forget about SS_DL.dll or XX.dll file)
- Check list auto reboot and f.reset time(look at the left)
- Click start and wait
- If success, should be writen "PASS" on left side
If there's something miss or wrong, please tell me, I'll fix it this ASAP

Actually, I've gotten 2 new Megas. The first one had the slow rotate problem and they gave me a new Mega since it was in the 30 days. Two months later, the wifi wouldn't connect. Was told to take it to a device service center. They worked on it for 30 minutes before giving me another new Mega and was told AT&T still does not have the software.

If I use the canadian version will it still work? Just curious because as of right now I am in a bootloop. Getting the white screen only but still allows me to download a new OS. I thank you for all the information in these thread but I need to know what else can I do if it does not have sghi527 as one of the download stock ROM?

I was in bootloop too. No recovery rom available. I had to send mine to samsung. You can try wipe data and factory reset from recovery (power + vol up + home) but that didnt work for me.
Canadian or another rom will just give you an authentification error.

I don't know about model for at&t, cause only 1 model in my country, but if it's GSM too not CDMA, you could try the Canadian version software or international version
If you want a paper weight go ahead and flash,
We all know that our Mega has locked boot loaders making it unable to flash anything else.

You should get a .tar.md5 file within extracted folder. Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.09.exe along with few other files. You could use any extracting software such a WinZip, Winrar or 7zip to extract files.
Step 2: Put Your Galaxy Note 3 Neo SM-N7505 In Download Mode
Now turn off your phone and wait few seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off. Then boot it into the Download Mode. To do that press and keep holding the Volume down and Home button at the same time, with these two buttons pressed press the Power Button all simultaneously. When a warning message is displayed press on the Volume Up button to continue to the process.
Step 3: Run Odin
Now run Odinv3.09.exe in as an Administrator because an Admin privilege is required to complete this installation process without any hiccups. Now connect your phone with your PC using USB cable. Once you connect, you will see a message under Odin’s message box in the bottom left-panel displaying “Added”. You should also see ID: COM port with a number and colored box in Yellow/Blue i.e. if you successfully added your device, if not then you can do the following Steps:
Re-start the same procedure.
Try Uninstalling and then re-installing the drivers again and restart you pc.
Use different USB cable.
Ensure KIES is not running in the background.
Disable Your Antivirus.
Uninstall or disable any program that may be causing conflicts such as your OEM’s PC Suite or any other third party software.
Step 4: Staring the flashing process
In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are only two that are selected. DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER OPTION! Click the AP button and select that file CF-Auto-Root-hllte-hlltexx-smn7505.tar.md5 you downloaded earlier in Step 1 with extension .tar.md5. Now, once you are ready, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. This process may take a minute or two to finish. Please do not disconnect your phone once Odin sets in motion. As the installation process completes, your phone will reboot itself and you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can now unplug the USB cable to disconnect it from the computer.
Voila, You have successfully rooted your phone

No, Don't use it.
Using chainfire method if you root your phone you will trip the Knox to 1 and void the warranty.
Please note for now it is irreversible to change Knox to 0.
Please wait till alternative method comes up because if something goes wrong Samsung service centre may not service the phone.
It is a huge risk.
Sincere advice please do NOT root for now.
In the above post he has mentioned N7505 and you have N750 so both are different models.
But if you want to go ahead then you need similar file which states N750 in the file name.
Click here to get the correct file.
Check this site also.
Cheers!

First flash the original firmware to get back your phone in the working condition. Then make sure you have the USB tool installed for Windows and have USB debugging enabled. You can also try a different version of ODIN.. Though these files worked perfectly for me. Please do cross check the files.

Go to this site : >>autoroot.chainfire.eu<<<
Search for your model number : N7500(hl3gub) or N7505 (hlltexx) .. Click on "File" & download the zip file. Compatible Odin is already there inside the zip file posted by Chainfire. So don't flash with any other Odin version. Incompatible Odin will Brick your device.
Rest of the steps are easy .. as already mentioned in this thread.
0) Extract the zip file into a folder lets say FOLD_X, everything you need is inside this folder apart from USB drivers.
1) Install Samsung USB drivers(mentioned in this thread, worked for me) or Kies (but disable/kill Kies software after installation) (You can also take backups using Kies for the Oh ! No! Moments )
2) Boot in Download mode.
3) Open Odin
4) Connect USB
5) Check the ID: COM port and "Added" message.
6) In Odin the checkboxes ( Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes ) will be auto selected.
7) Click on PDA, select the .md5 file, inside the folder you just extracted.
8) Click Start and wait for the phone to restart(20 second process)
I have done it on N7505.
Cheers !

Well... If you root.. You won't get OTA updates... And plus you can always flash the latest firmware with Odin and a backup.

But before you do all that.. Please do sit down and make a note of the information about your phone.. The firmware region etc. So you don't mess up the model versions later

So you're telling me you have rooted and your phone is working fine with root permission.. But you're recovery is not working... Right? Then if I were you I would have flash a custom TWRP recovery.

Hello everyone,
I followed this by the book and got a soft brick! Please help, I have no idea what to do. Tried to do the recovery with Samsung kies but no luck. Anyone has drivers for the phone? Want to install them again so if I can see kies improves (n7505).
