[Q] S2 GT-i9100 4.1.2 Brick - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Phone had stock 4.1.2 as far version is concerned idont exactly remeber it but it was april 2013 one i think
I tried to root my phone GT-i9100 using the Odin flash using Jeboo Kernel for GT-i9100 Then CWM recover mode came and i have used CM 11 Moon shot and upon reboot i was in CWM Recovery Mode again and this happend like everytime if i power off or reboot i was in CWM recovery mode
So i used odin agian but this time with Siyah-s2-v5.0.1 surprisingly i can use recovery mode on 1st reboot but upon 2nd reboot the boot just stuck in the Siyah logo and i tried agian with Siyah-s2-v6.0b5 with odin but still the phone is stuck with Siyah logo
i do have access to recoverymode and download mode
Please help me to recover my phone
Thank You
As of now i can only go to Download mode and i have Kies installed on my Win 8

Your phone isn't bricked if you have download mode (probably), chill out.
Download stock firmware for country/carrier (not 4.0.4) from Samfirmware, flash following instructions in thread stickied near top of Q&A title 'Flash stock firmware'. Problems with flash ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread has all the info you need to get a successful flash. If you do have problems with the flash, you need to go through the stuff in Hopper's thread methodically & as many times as you need to until you get a flash that works. You don't post Odin logs to this thread saying 'But it won't work !!!!'.

well after a while i have installed philz rom, CWM & CM 11 moon shot all went fine but every time the system reboots before CM screen shows up the yellow warning is displayed and after booting in to CM11 i checked there is only 790 MB of RAM available to verify this i checked in to apps manager it says 310 Used & 483 Free when it was in JB 4.1.2 stock rom all the 1 GB was displayed with 785 something MB available
How can i reclaim the RAM, will using anyother rom will solve the issue

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 is stuck at Boot Logo after factory reset.....

Hi All
I have a rooted GT-9100 phone with Jelly bean official Samsung Rom installed.
Build No : JZ054K.I9100XWLST
Baseband Ver. : I9100DDLS9
In the last few days i was having problems with many apps, and phone is restarting automatically. so i decided to do factory reset, after that as always the starter mode wanted me to select the language, after asked to update Time and date which i did and then suddenly the screen went black.
It started to reboot and since then the phone is stuck at the Samsung Logo.
what now? any suggestions?
FYI: I have rooted device with Siyah Kernel 3.0.31.

same issue
hello, i know this is a 6 months old thread but this is the first time now i found someone with the same issue.
Firstly i played around with flashing shiyah with sort of worked but i never had root acces, but thats not the problem here.
I did a factory reset when phone was stable and everything broke. It would boot up untill the language select, screen dims a bit after 1 sec, and then it restarts. When shiyah kernel is on there it will just stay stuck on the samsung text after boot after that. When i flashed stock kernel etc it would boot up the same at first, crash on language select. and then show the samsung boot animation over and over (not the sound though thats only the first time). in CWM recovery of shiyah whiping cache reset and dalvik wont help..
i find it strange that it broke on the factory reset.
Did you manage to solve this ?
info
I9100XXMS1
I9100OXAMS1
I9100XXLS8
So flash a stock rom with Odin to get back to square one ? You've probably flashed a version of Siyah that's incompatible with what you're currently running (Android version-wise). Once you've done that, flash PhilZ to root your phone+CWM & go from there (if you want to persist with Siyah, read the thread thoroughly to ensure you're flashing the correct version for the Android version you're running).
If simply flashing stock doesn't fix the problem, do a factory reset after you flash the stock rom. If that doesn't work, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, download the 3 part firmware linked to in the thread & flash that (this will wipe your phone).

[Q] newbie bootloop

can someone help me. i am trying to root my s2 i9100 runniing ics 4.03.. i didnt notice the yellow triangle when i flashed the phiilz touch recovery + rooting via stock recovery. and now my phone is stock at boot(bootloop) plsss help me. is there something like a file to be flash so my the bootloop will be fixed?
Boot into recovery (If you don't know how to do this, you should be modding your phone at all, search if you don't), factory reset. If you can't get into recovery, get a stock rom for your country/carrier from Samfirmware (not 4.0.4 given I assume you'll be attempting to root your phone again), flash with Odin following instructions in stickied thread near top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware'. Problems flashing with Odin ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful flash & a clean slate.
From there, maybe re-read the instructions of what you were trying to do a bit better & have another go at it.

[Q] Stuck on firmware logo

My brother just gave me a S II for mine to keep but it keeps stuck in the recovery logo for like 10 sec and then it shuts down i downloaded Kies and tried the recovery option but that won't work somebody suggestions?
Download stock rom for country/carrier (not Android 4.0.4) from Samfirmware, boot into download mode & flash following instructions in stickied thread near top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware'.
Problems with flashing ? Find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General. Simply flashing stock should fix it, but it it still bootloops after flash, boot into recovery & do a factory reset.
Still bootlooping ? Download the 3 part firmware linked in Hopper's thread & flash that with Odin (this will wipe your phone).
If you try all that & still bootloops, post here again.

[Q] S2 wont boot! stuck on the logo and shutsdown

guys my samsung sgs2 wont boot up stuck on the sII logo screen and shuts down but working on recovery mode and i also tried restoring my back up but still the same happens.
my s2 is rooted and running beanstalk 4.4.2
Recovery mode = factory reset. If that doesn't work, stock rom from Samfirmware, flash with Odin. Problems with Odin flash ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful flash (you may need to do a factory reset as well after the Odin flash if you end up doing this). Once you've done that, re-root your phone & try restoring your nandroid, or reinstall custom rom/kernel & start from scratch.

already factory reset and tried flashing my custom rom again but still that happens.
can you give me the link where to download the stock rom? but i dont know my baseband version.
Samfirmware (Google it). You don't need to know whatever baseband you have (it's irrelevant anyway), download any stock rom for your carrier/country (not 4.0.4) given you'll be going back to a custom rom anyway.

my s2 was bought in las palmas spain. and im on philippines now.
will i download those 4.1.2 version??
'download any stock rom for your carrier/country (not 4.0.4) given you'll be going back to a custom rom anyway'.
Won't be repeating myself in this thread again. You should already know this stuff if you're modding your phone in any way.

[Q] I messed up something (black screen). Need help!

I knew I'll break it one day so no big surprise here.
Let me start from the beginning. I was testing a new ROM (C-ROM to be exact) but i didn't like it's using TWRP (I hate this thing, i'm used to CWM), so I tried installing CWM by using ROM Manager so I can restore from my Nandroid backup. Despite the "success" message of ROM Manager - the phone kept booting into TWRP recovery so i googled a "flashable cwm zip" and found this: CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 for Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 ZIP
I flashed the above zip using TWRP (success message followed) but when i rebooted the phone - NOTHING came up. I thought myself i bricked it but i managed to go to download mode.
Where do i go from here? I guess i'll have to use PC Odin from here but i don't know what to do exactly (i'm not power user).
C'mon...You don't know how to flash a rom with Odin ? Not like it's a great secret, you don't need to be a 'power user', this info is easily found by searching (or even looking in the thread stickied near the top of Q&A titled 'Flash stock firmware').
Get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with instructions in that thread. Problems with Odin flash ? Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General has all the info you need to get a successful flash.
Edit - Also, it was Rom Manager that broke your recovery. Don't use it. Yes, you may have been using it for a long time without problems, but that changed today, didn't it ? Eventually what happened to you will happen to everyone who uses Rom Manager on the I9100. It's unnecessary.

1) Flash stock rom using 'ODIN'
2) Search for 'Philz' kernel thread and fallow instruction there to 'Root' your 'Stock Rom'.
3) then u can try its recovery to restore the 'Nand bkp' .
4) if the Bkp rom is KK then flash a KK compatible kernel and then try restoring the Nand bkp.
