Hi, I'm quite new to XDA, but I am familiar with using guides, but can't find anything that will help me. I'm sorry if this post is quite newbie, as I am when it comes to this sorry of stuff.
My brother's S2 broke, so I can't get detailed specs as I can't get it to boot. This is what I would like help with.
Phone: Samsung S2 GT-I9100
Carrier: unknown, possibly UK Vodafone
Builds/Kernel: unknown
What happened: Phone failed to boot one day, stuck on a screen saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue (yada yada, fix with Samsung kies)
Action taken: Odin and stock ROM download, repeated attempts and fails at flashing.
Conclusion: After comparing boot sequences and Odin flash logs to my S2 and the internet, NAND RAM
failed, unable to flash/read ROM.
Solution: You guys. Is it possible to boot custom/stock ROM from an external Micro SD card without any reliance on the NAND?
Thank you for any suggestions/help you may have.

my phone is a samsung galaxy s2 which was is branded to orange.
i have recently updated from android 2.4.6 to the new android 4.0.3 through kies.
i was really wanting to just root my device but for the time being leave the current rom on, i mainly wanted to uninstall blatware for now and backup etc...
anyway things have gone a bit wrong, i tried following the beginners guide on the following url:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
i downloaded the files that it tells you to, i opened odin and selected the XWKDD file as it says to and it said that the root was sucessful, but my phone didn't fully reboot, it went off and come onwith the samsung galaxy s2 logo and a yellow ! under it, and now it just stays on that and wont do anything else
have i ruined my phone or can it be fixed without losing any of my data or the way i had my phone?
any really fast help would be great, id love to sort this tonight if i can.
thanks in advance

Try reflashing stock android 4
Sent from my GT-S5660
i have just found the stock fw that orange released will try and flash it with odin now.
*Urgent* Bricked S3(gt9300)? Accidentally wiped my s3 (in allianz rom bootloader screen) .* It then vomplrtely wouldn't work, so I used odin to put a stock rom on (via pda)* Success ! working completely fine until it lost power & will only ever get as far as the samsung logo when turned on. Need urgent diy help to get my phone working again,* I have tried a number of how-to's on fixung a bricked s3 via odin with no luck!* the error message is along the lines of no partion available & will fail no longer than 2 seconds into process. no matter what rom ; custom or stock Im unable to fix.* My guess would be that ive deleted whatever software in phone that would recognise a rom. Notes: I am competant in use of android just very good at making mistakes.* The only feature available is the download usb mode. Any help would be appreciated especially if it works, Im sure someone else has had the same problem!
Need help on corrupt EFS issue. I bought Korean variant E-210s. It came with modified ROM for GT-i9300 (i9300ZSALG3). I thought it was the international version and that's why I flashed the JB ROM (update) for GT-i9300 using ODIN. Now, I am stuck on Samsung logo and OS is not loading. I can access the Download mode and Recovery. In Recovery, it shows "unable to mount E:" error when I flash any rom. So, I am stuck here. Need your valuable suggestions on this.
P.S. local service center guy says it's an corrupt EFS issue.
