Hello! I'm really interested in trying Litening's ROM and I've tried multiple times. I've followed the instructions EXACTLY as written. I searched around the forums and also tried running the Kernel Cleaning Script before flashing but to no avail.
No matter what I do, after Odin finishes flashing, my SGSII boots up to the dreaded Kernel Panic Upload mode....
The ROM from which I'm trying the Litening ROM flash is ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB.
Please help and thanks!
One download a new copy .
That fails try a different rom .
jje
sometime it happened to my phone also.
not with specific rom,but i happened.
If coming from ginger,did u update your bootloader,if not flash with 512 pit file and tick repartition,then flash with Odin
Right way to flash with Odin
1 open Odin
2 set the files(rom)in Odin
3 reboot phone into download mode(fully recharged battery
4 connect to odin
5 wait for for Odin to confirm your phone(03 or 07) and flash
6 phone reboots...done
Kernel panic uplod mod
This is really a PAIN giving PANIC now....
People who flashed freshly ICS rom including Bootloade have also got this PANIC,
I have never flashed an ICS rom from ODIN, flashed ICS from CWM on my GB, I have got once since I installed 2 days back....
I was thinking that, this virus was spread from leaked ICS version but no, this PANIC is there from 2010, people who upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 also had got this...
ONLY SAMSUNG KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENED
it is not caused by any KERNEL,
it is not caused by any Bootloader
it is not caused by any version of firmware
something somwhere a mismatch between firmware and hardware happens...
Only a remedy for this issue is to Keep on changing the ROM until you get the one without this issue.....
Thanks to all for your replies.
I indeed downloaded a fresh copy, also tried different versions, same result.
ZACQ8, I actually read another reply you posted somewhere else about flashing stock GB first then trying to flash the Litening ROM, haven't tried it yet, but will try it and then report back.
Hello all,
I have tried many things before asking for help, but nothing worked so far.
Here is the story:
I was on ICS 4.0.4, with default ROM coming from carrier.
I wanted to install CM9.1,
spent countless hours doing all backup and reading tutorial.
Tried finally yesterday and it was stuck doing "wiping data". Left it for 20min+ and nothing.
After restarting it, it is now stuck on the boot logo.
I couldn't enter anymore CWM or stock recovery (up+home+power), but could enter Download mode.
So I tried a couple of things I have read on the forum, like installing Siyah-s2-v5.0.1.tar through Odin 3.04 but I still cannot enter recovery mode.
I've read (too late) about the mmc brick bug (couldn't find anyone speaking about it in any tutorial until I reached this point... nothing on CM wiki or in other tuto... classic!).
I hope I'm not in this case though as I can still go to DL mode, and the phones having the brick bug are completely dead (blank screen or no DL mode), as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I managed to finally get CWM working only by using GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar from Odin, then tried to install CM9.1 from SD card but after reboot it is stuck on the blue cyanogenmod animation boot screen and nothing happens.
Tried also to restore from CWM my nandroid backup, but during the restore it seems to hang then restart by itself, and then I'm back to Galaxy S boot logo (the animated one with the big S).
And after this I have lost again access to recovery mode.
I can't go back to stock and I can't install CM... I was not expecting such issues, it all seemed pretty basic on paper.
I'm really stressed and don't know what to do
Flash a stock rom in Odin (download mode), re-root your phone/flash a kernel with CWM, restore your backup ?
Hi,
thanks for answering,
I have tried to locate such a rom, but I'm not sure which one... is there a specific one to try ? could you point me to it please ?
so far I have tried I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5
but no luck
you also say "re-root", at the time I used this method:
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel - xda-developers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Do I need root to install Siyah kernel from Odin ?
I'm trying one from sammobile... let's hope :/
The bad thing is I had no Yellow triangle at the beginning since I'm stuck in this boot loop or no boot to be precise.
Now that I have tried different things to fix it, it is still not working and I have my flash counter = 10.
I cannot even go back to the shop, is there a way to reset it knowing I cannot even reach the OS, I have only DL mode or CWM...
Use a stock rom for your region/carrier (or any stock rom from any region really), it doesn't really matter as I presume you'll be restoring a backup and/or going back to a custom rom anyway won't you ?
Samfirmware & AndroidFirmwares.net have lots of stock roms.
No, you don't need root to flash an Odin version of Siyah. So yes, you can flash that after you've got stock up & running to root your phone rather than re-rooting your phone by flashing a CFRoot kernel or using another root method. Just make sure the version of Siyah you're going to flash matches up with the stock rom you've got on (I.E if you flash a GB stock rom use GB Siyah, ICS stock = use ICS Siyah, etc, etc).
thank you again, I'm downloading the rom from sammobile matching my carrier,
Would you be so kind to send me a PM with your skype username or anything to "chat" with you ? I'm really worried and I spent all night already trying to fix it with no progress at all
Don't worry about the flash counter. That's the least of your problems while your phone is borked Worry about it when it's fixed. There's nothing you can do about the triangle while your phone is cactus.
When you've got it up & running again, use Triangle Away.
But first things first.

You're welcome.
Um, no. Absolutely not. Nothing personal, but if I did that for every person who's asked me for 'hands on' help since I've been here, I'd have spent my time doing nothing else. I don't do 'personal' with people from XDA (which is why I have PM's blocked except for mods).
Besides, you're going to learn much more fixing this yourself. I've given you a stack of information thus far, ball is in your court. Every answer to every question you could possibly ask is on this site. It just sometimes takes a bit of work/reading on your part to find it.

ok I understand.. it is just I have literally spent more than 8 hours on it and had not make any progress at all (even worse I cannot return it to the shop because of the yellow triangle).
I appreciate your help, it gives me a bit of hope but I'm in a very bad situation and I feel I have read and do so much already with no success at all.
I will try your option of restoring the one from Sammobile, I have tried other before without any luck, maybe this one will do... (5min left to DL it).
thanks again for your support
I know where you're coming from. The first flash I tried when I got my phone in 2011 borked because I was careless, and it took me a bit over a day to get the right info/files/etc to get it fixed. I know it's frustrating/tiring/annoying & you're wondering at the start whether you can even fix it. But as long as you've got download mode 99 times out of 100 you can save it.
And as I said, it's good experience; once you've fixed it, you'll be able to handle anything that comes up in future
Let us know how you go. I'm going to bed shortly, but I'm sure someone else will step up & help if you have any further problems.
You're welcome Happy to point you in the right direction.
I have flashed the rom, the exact same one as I had before everything happened...
if it helps, I flashed it from Odin 3.04 as PDA.
I9100BVLPH_I9100TMULPH_I9100BVLPE_HOME.tar.md5
I'm now back to the Samsung GALAXY S2 GT-I9100 logo and nothing happens.
I cannot use recovery mode,
I can use DL mode (it shows 11 counts and current binary as Samsung official.)
update:
I left the phone on the first logo for about 5min and it moved to the next Samsung Galaxy S2 logo, with the big animated S.
I'm waiting but nothing else is happening.
I'm still desperate to fix it.
One thing which can be relevant, whenever I try to wipe or format /data from CWM, my phone is restarting after a few minutes or is saying it cannot be done.
I can format /cache and /system.
Could it be the root cause ? Any way of fixing it ?
Thank you
update: I cannot mount /data from CWM, it says Error mounting /data!
is it the brick bug ? :|
Easy now....your device is still good.
Those animations should take like 1-2 mins when you flash a rom.
Now, you are completly sure that you are actually flashing the right ROM for your device model?
If so, just keep flashing stock roms until you're up and running again, so you can start from scrap.
I tried, the issue is as soon as I flash a stock rom (through Odin), then I can't get into stock recovery mode anymore, I have to flash GT-I9100_ICS_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.5.0.4.tar to get back the recovery mode.
I tried to flash several times, I think it is down to the fact I cannot mount or format /data.
Which is why I'm wondering if it is the famous brick bug.
My device is GT-I9100 and I took the stock rom from sammobile:
I9100BVLPH_I9100TMULPH_I9100BVLPE_HOME.tar.md5 which is ICS 4.0.4 (that I had before trying to move to CM9.1 and having all this mess in my hands.)
flash this:
http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/15/i9100xxlsj-%E2%80%93-galaxy-s-ii-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean-test-firmware/.
you are on siyah kernel right?
what you wanna do know is to get to whatever rom your flashing, forget about cmw for now.
this also might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
So it is not lost yet ? Not the brick bug ?
just to be sure:
you want me to install through Odin: Siyah-s2-v5.0.1-CWM.zip
then going back to DL mode
I flash through Odin: I9100XXLSJ_I9100OXXLS1_OXX.zip (coming from your link).
anything I'm missing (even if it seems obvious, please let me know as I'm maybe missing something important)
?
I still cannot do Factory reset... is it a problem ?
I dunno what kernel you are using, If stock 4.0.4 kernel you should flash siyah first (safe kernel, no brick bug), and then countinue flashing the ROM. Check out the brick bug thread in general SII forum for directions if you want.
BTW, Odin recognizes your phone right? Check it out, you'll get a huge long breath.
BTW 2: you don't have any kies applications running in your pc.....am I right? if so, CLOSE THEM ALL!
I did had stock 4.0.4 kernel when I first tried to follow CM9.1 wiki, and I did a factory reset through CWM... which is why I think I might have bricked it...
I have checked the brick bug thread (too late it seems...) but so far I can't be sure if I'm in this case or not as they say they can't even reach DL mode, and I can.
Odin recognizes my phone, yes, but anything I flash is stuck on the animated logo.
I do not have Kies installed, just installed the drivers.
Hello, I'll try to explain what happened to get where I am now, and explain with details the last errors of my GT-9100.
I had a stock room jelly bean 4.1.2 installed. I had Android encrypted + SDCARD encrypted, and decided to format, but I didn't undo the encryption. As result, after master reseting it, it asked for a password do decrypt (as always asked when I turned the phone on), but it wasn't recognizing my password anymore. So I tried to clean and wipe all possible things, which ended on the device stucking at boot (doing boot loops, not asking for password anymore). I got an error on CW Recovery E: Could not load emmc (sounds like my internal storage is gone)
Later on, I tried to re-install the ROM, but got alot of trouble with windows drivers. Couldn't get any rom installed again. My device was then stuck at start, not even showing the white Samsung Galaxy S II GT9100 screen. After trying a variety of MODEMs, Kernels, I always get stuck on boot.info, zimage (kernel) on ODIN (Both 1.85 and 3.07 versions).
The only thing that has worked so far is changing the bootloader to the stock version. After doing this, my smartphone turns on on Chinese language. The ROM loaded is a jelly bean, but it has no status bar, can't open camera/folder explorer, can't do calls, can't acess internet, doesn't even show the configuration menu. And everything is chinese. BTW Calculator was working lol.
So this is the situation. Has my internal storage been gone forever? Is there a way I can flash without being stuck at boot.info or zImage when trying to flash kernel, both on Odin messages? Or is my phone really bricked? Thansk alot, I'll pay close attention to this.
EDIT: I haven't found after a day of research anyone that did data wipes in an encrypted phone, so this can be a guide for any future similar case.

Tried installing Android 2.3 stock bootloader / rom ?

No I haven't. Is there any online link here? I couldn't find it.
Solved
After a day looking for it, I solved my problem
I tried several kernels, roms with almost all odin versions. The best one for gt-I9100 was odin 1.87.
This was the deal: After cleaning the encrypted internal storage, it got corrupted. So one of the first steps to get my phone reacting again to ODIN when installing new ROMs was installing the original GT-9100 .PIT file and re-partitioning (Even with every forum/site telling me I should never do it).
So, if you ever do the same mistake as me, try this:
Install a new kernel, then .PIT original file. Get a proper MODEM file, and finally try flashing your ROM.
I also got alot of problem with my USB cable, which is kinda damaged, so out of 10 plug-ins, only a few would work for ODIN. Try getting a brand new cable.
That's it.

Add [SOLVED] to the title.
Hi Guys,
I have been scouring the boards and the internet on a solution to this problem.
GF had the phone and put it to charge.
Picked it up sometime later and it was off.
Turned it back on and it was stuck in a bootloop.
Phone was using Stock Firmware and was unrooted. It was running Jelly Bean 4.1.2. The EXACT firmware eludes me.
Phone is able to go into Download mode and recovery mode.
I have included a picture of what recovery mode looks like. [pic]
I tried flashing via ODIN. I tried different firmwares. All of them stopped at Boot.bin
I tried Kernel flash via PDA and it stopped at "NAND Write Start!" and just stayed there.
I tried flashing a bootloader and the progress bar appeared (only time it ever appeared) but it stopped after a little budge and did not move again. Not even after 30 mins. [pic]
Is there anything else I can do? I followed all the tips from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449771 and I'm still here. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
Hopper8's "Odin troubleshooting' thread. Find it, try the stuff in it. All of it. Not just try a few things & then post here saying 'I tried everything' when you didn't. The only thing that will happen if you do that is you'll still have a busted phone. And you need to try the stuff in that thread repeatedly. Over and over. As many times as you need to.
That's the only way you're fixing it (the alternative involves paying a Samsung service centre a considerable amount of money to fix it). There are no easy/simple fixes in these situations.
Im pretty sure I was in exactly the same situation a while back.Youll need to look back at my posts as Ive forgotten exactly how I fixed it.
It did involve GB and pit files via odin as nothing would flash by recovery.
Im on 2.3.5 as that was about the only thing that would flash properly and make the phone boot.I initially thought I had a bootloader problem as ICS/JB wouldnt load.
I spent 5 hours on that,and cant recall if it was the pit or the special 2.3.5 rom/or both that fixed it.

Thanks. I'll search your posts.
I think I posted a pic with similar errors to yours,so look and compare them.Theres not much info floating around about our/your problem.Pit files are only meant to be a last resort option,and I was in that category.
I also think that most/all things I flashed with odin passed,but phone would not boot,which led me to flash 2.3.5 combined with pit file.
I can't find your posts.....
Im only commenting because Im pretty sure its nothing to do with odin,I feel my phone and maybe yours has a hardware problem.I done a search before and only saw 1 situation like mines on another website.
For me,there was something major wrong for my phone not to accept ics/jb stock firmwares.
I have posted a pic before with the errors,and commented what I done to get the phone working.
I also dont think anyone on here can help,as it was the worst thing to fix Ive ever came across,and its not been mentioned on here.
Its up to you what you want to flash,but my moneys on a frankenstein GB rom c/w pit.Only try it at your own risk,or wait until someone else has alternative advice.

So I flashed the pit file.... and nothing happened. It just stopped there at "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!!" I eventually closed ODIN but the phone still behaves the same way. If the EPROM is damaged, it won't have a partition to partition right? Any other suggestions?
I tried to flash CF root. Just to try anything. If hung up after kernel flash. Not it says I have a custom binary. Count 1. I don't know if that is relevant but... it shows something.

Youll need to ignore half of my previous advice(about odin),and follow Mistahbungles advice.......as my memory is playing tricks on me.Also,it was the other way around in my case.....ICS/JB flashed ok,it was GB that wouldnt(but doesnt matter here).
You have a damaged partition table,so that hopefully will be fixed by flashing .pit using Odin.If you cant get Odin to work,you could try a friends pc,or see if a local shop has Odin working.
Apologies to you both for my memory.........lol

I did try his advice and with 6 different versions of odins on two different laptops with 6 usb ports between them. I don't think ODIN is the problem. I think the problem is a corrupted NAND. It is so corrupt that it did not accept a .PIT flash. It didn't hard brick the phone. It did nothing to it. I am unsure what else to do.
Well maybe I was right all along about odin,but that doesnt help anything.
I cant remember if I could do anything via recovery,but I do remember that several things I tried just kept giving that page of errors.
Youll just need to google each error and see what it throws up.Stuff thats said ranges from removing sd card to replace recovery(but by odin which you cant do).
please help me! I'm new here, so "A thousand pardons to you all for making myself such a headache to you all"... S3 won't boot, but it can go download, and recovery mode..
So here's the story, my dad told me to root his phone and make it overclock. First I rooted it using CF-Auto Root, and it worked really fne, no problems at all. Next, I searched the web, and came across the siyah kernel. I downloaded it's tar file form its site, which directed me to another site that lets me choose between the cwm flashable and the odin one which is the tar file.
After that, the screen flashes the model of the s3, then the logo of siyah, which is the freaky eye thingi. Then it would just go black, I waited 30 mins but nothing happened at all. Based on my research and gut feeling, it got bricked, or worse... HARD BRICKED!!! but I knew it wasn't hard bricked cause it could go download and recovery mode...Such a blessing..
I didn't want any trouble from my Dad, looking right at me with his bricked phone and me helplessly doing nothing, I tried stupid things like, somewhat stupid. Like searching for some random stock kernel (to replace Siyah) of s3 like the gt-i9300 xxx something with it's bootloader and then flashing it using odin pc and phone in download mode (cause I didn't know what to use but I'm very certain its GT-I9300). When I did that the logo of siyah kernel wasn't there anymore. But then again didn't boot...
PLEASE HELP!!! Excluding the method of USB jig, and bringing it to Samsung services.. Any help information about my current situation is really appreciated
More information:
Binary count is 4
CWM recovery enabled
Download recovery enabled
CF-Auto Root used to root
Siyah kernel was previous kernel, but replaced by kernel and bootloader I9300XXEMF1.tar
The last thing I did was to wipe cache partition and factory reset.
Current problem:
Won't boot
What I want to happen:
Bring back to its orginial state, without root, like I bought an S3
Again, it's an honor to be here at XDA Thank you all!

Download stock firmware from Sammobile >> http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ << and flash with Odin if you get bootloop after flashing reboot to recovery and wipe cache/factory data reset see if that works if not post your results here.
