Hi Everybody,
I was trying to install a new version of cyanogenmod that held kitkat, worked, but heres the problem. After installing the new rom i wanted to put a different kernel. This specific kernel I wanted was not compatible with kitkat, but i wasn't reading, so when it was booting up it was stuck at the Galaxy S Cyanogenmod booting screen. I turned it off and put the device in cwm recovery. I was going to put the right kernel for the device but the SD wound't mount. I looked for a solution, which led me to odin. When I started flashing the status was frozen at nand start write. So I stupidly unplugged it, so now I am greeted with a Phone+!+PC please help me!

Without seeing a picture of the screen, I'm going to have to assume the screen is a blue color with a picture of a computer on it.
If so, that's not a problem at all. That screen is basically the same thing as ODIN/Download mode.
With your device on that screen simply replug in your USB cable and reflash with ODIN.
If you could provide a picture of the screen, I could definitely say for sure that your device is good to go, or not.

If you're talking about this above, then do as Higgs_Boson said above. This is just a force download mode, and happens when you improperly flash something.

Actually nevermind about the download because I followed this tut http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432936 but after step 3, and putting my device in download mode, My computer won't now read it/notice it in odin. I have kies installed and it used to work before.

I was JUST in this situation, after fooling around with Ubuntu and the UnbrickerResurector, I was able to come back from Download Mode using the .pit and bootloader files from this thread...Flash them in Odin and you should be set.

Using Odin, I accidentally repartitioned my phone and didn't flash anything else besides the PIT file. What do I do? My phone doesn't turn on when plugged into the computer or the wall outlet. Is there anything I can do?
My phone is pretty much done, isn't it?
What the hell.... Anyways.... Pit always repartitions your phone. Did you flash anything after that? Details are lacking.
You can't get back into download mode to reflash?

No, because I wasn't able to use the phone at all after. The phone is dead. It won't do anything. There is no sign of life. I repartitioned it with a pit file and hit start. After that, the phone wouldn't work at all.
Because.... you need to follow steps and read.
You need to start over.... Odin the pit... then follow the steps and odin the rom you want to flash. Your phone isn't gone... yet.

But will this work even though Odin can't see my phone, since my phone acts as if there's no battery? It doesn't function at all. So when I plug it in, nothing happens and Odin never sees my phone.
Actually, my phone is responding all of a sudden, so now I'm flashing my phone with Odin.
Why is Odin stuck at this part of the flash?

What did you do? I have the same problem. It didnt response at all.
you could also try something totally different and try heimdall with a different usb port, if that doesn't work then I'm definitely not sure what else you could try.
did you leave your battery in when you went into download mode to flash the stock rom? if you did, take the battery out, hook up the cable to a usb port hold down the - volume button along with the power button and it should boot into download mode

Hello, I performed the recommended upgrade from kies.
Then I rooted my phone for the third time (two previous were successful).
I followed the instructions from there: http://www.techjamaica.com/forums/s...ur-Galaxy-SII-by-a-2-day-old-Android-Newbie!& as per two previous times.
My phone now won't boot. It stays at the boot screen with the yellow exclamation point.
I tried to read relevant threads from here and the web. What I did is:
- removed the battery for 10 minutes, press the on-off button for some secs
- tried to connect it via Kies
- tried to connect it via Kies at download mode
- tried to re-root it via Odin (it said success but still cannot boot)
All above had no success. Now I am without mobile since early morning.
What else can I try to fix it?
Before rooting it, and immediately after the update, the phone was working.
Go to Recovery Mode and try Wipes...
Thanks. Will revert
ok I entered to recovery mode and wiped cache partition - nothing happened
should I wipe data/factory reset?
Ignore step 3 onwards and just flash a CF-root kernel matching your version. In other words, follow the instructions to root from this forum, not some random Jamaica tech forum.

I rooted the phone successfully and I know it because now the recovery mode is different than the recovery mode before used the latest root.
However I still cannot boot. Should I hardware reset the device? Is this my only option?
Well nothing worked. I booted to "ClockwoorkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2" and deleted/wiped everything, even hardware reset it.
I am still stuck with the yellow exclamation mark. How is even possible that hardware reset doesn't working?
Please help.

If you wiped sd card then you wiped all firmware off the phone . It will now require a flash of stock rom via ODIN .

Thanks oinkylicious. I think I made it this time. Please don't be very strict as its the first time I am messing with my phone and I will ask you for more info.
Never mind I managed to root it. I learned a bit of stuff about android these two days lurking here.
I've been searching XDA and Google for months now and I haven't found anyone else with this precise issue. I'm very tech savvy, but this is just beyond me! What say you? Will you help me in my quest to diagnose my device and possibly find a cure?
Listed below is what occurs when the USB Cable is connected, either via PC or the Wall.
While USB Cable is disconnected:
Pressing or holding any of the buttons, together or individually, does absolutely nothing. (But the battery can't be dead. I've had the thing on charge all night!)
When USB Cable is connected:
http://youtu.be/J8FJSo_S7cQ
Without pressing anything, the device powers on into download mode and continues to reboot itself every few minutes.
Holding the power button (or all buttons together) reboots it back into download mode to repeat what I just described above.
Pressing any/all buttons at this point does nothing.
When I disconnect the USB Cable from the device while in Download Mode, the device shuts off after about 20 seconds.
I have seen this on occasion, but nothing different happens:
(I'm aware this means forced download mode.)

I'm able to use Odin completely normally and flash anything successfully as well. Yet it just reboots back into download mode. And if I leave it alone while connected to my PC with Odin up, this is what it looks like:
I've "successfully" installed Stock ROM, Kernel and PIT files. Nothing changes! I've also tried one-click unsoftbricker, heimdal, calling it names, begging it to work. Am I crazy or...is this thing done for?
Have you tried repartitioning it?
By clicking that check box in Odin? Yes.
Ah, you must've hardbricked your Galaxy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496360 < See if anything in that topic helps you.
You need to flash a ROM that has boot loaders in it...
When you use the unbrickable resurector, it flashes a boot loader that always boots to download mode. From download mode, you can flash a FULL rom, that will replace the boot loader. Then it will boot normally.

This is a Russian ROM but it should have boot loaders.

Downloading now. I'll have to try it tomorrow on spare time. Really hoping this works. Thanks for giving me some hope, I really thought this thing was done for!
It's not hard bricked... that ROM will restore it. But after you flash that rom , you'll need to flash a different Rom for your region...

I never even heard of a "Full" ROM before. The problem I was having was apparently my bootloader - or lack-there-of.
You saved my Galaxy Player's life! Thank you very much!
I'm happy to say that this case is closed!
I am going to favorite this thread. You never know when you'll need some good info like this.
Ironically, my GP just managed to softbrick -_- I may be f'd.
Edit: Thankfully, I managed to fix it. Whew!
Hello there.
A couple of months back my friend was having trouble with her S3 and she had to reset e every couple of days. So I instructed her to install Cyanogenmod via the official installer. She did and it worked.
A few days back she told he it won't update and I guessed that it won't for the lack of CWM so I told her to get Rashr from the Play Store and flash a custom recovery, which she did successfully. Even though the phone wouldn't update anyway.
So last night she told me that her phone stopped booting up completely. When booting to recovery and trying to flash a zip through CWM doesn't work because it keeps telling her "E: no sd card" or something like that. Now she doesn't have an SD card, but my understanding is that this refers to the internal storage too. So why can't the recovery read it?
Furthermore I tried to get her to flash another recover via Odin, but Odin fails to flash

factory reset and flashed another rom via fasboot, but reboot stuck at the start screen, just like the left one on the photo I submitted.
Do another unbricking, and everything back to the state I reported.
It's confirmed to be a hardware problem, when the monitor is replaced, everything back to normal.
I think there is problem with build.prop .. try google ... To restore build.prop
It seems that the Kernel is also affected so it must be hardware problem

It was solved without replacing the screen!
Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831
download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!) and not from one installed
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*

That's what I tried but as stated in the last link, I had no connection to adb while in twrp after cleaning up.
Anyway that's settled for me, it's mor for other that have encountered this as well. Replacing screen is not the only way.
