HI all members and fellow S2 experts.
I am quite new to android flashing and rooting.. and i have run into a problem and i really really need your help.Here is the story ....
I have stock rom 2.3.5 and cynagonmod7 in my phone.One day i made back up of my stock rom and went to recovery mode and changed to cynagon mod... I used cynagon for few days than made back up of it so that i can go back to stock rom.So i did back up it went fine.than i went to restore my stock rom and thats where the problem started.It didnt let me go back.
My phone does not turn on now.
When i try it just stays on the main screen where it says samsung galaxy s2 bla bla and that yellow triangle (indicating its rooted).
It does not go to recovery mode.
Once on charge it shows me the cell which appears when you charge your phone whilst it being off,it just shows me a empty cell and within that cell that rounded circle shaped icon not moving just as an icon.
And it lets me go to download mode but odin3-v1.85 does not recognise any device being connected or anything....
So basically i am doomed
I have tried taking battery out all sort of different combinations to reboot go to recovery mode all that but its just not happening and in download mode Odin does not detect my phone.
So i really dont know what to do.So can you please please please help and guide me how to get my phone back to life i really need to
Detailed answers would really help.Thanks for reading and please help me out.If any queries you can ask me.
Did you install the sg2 drivers in your computer? (you do this by installing the kies soft)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes i did installed all the driver.But at the moment i am on another laptop which does not have kies or any other driver for s2 but it still is not recognised..Laptop recognises something being connected to usb but it actually does not recognise any device or shows anything.
try to install kies it might be a driver issue

Try to install drivers only...

I HAVE DONE IT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Thanks alot guys it is exactly as you said.Installed kies in friends laptop went in download mode it installed the driver and than odin recognised the phone and put 2.3.5 again and done its working yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
You guys are star.THanks alot to all......
1- Try charging your phone for an hour or so (Just in case).
2- On that second laptop that recognizes something been connected to it, go to device manager and if you see any unknown usb device, delete it. Unplug your phone and plug it again (in download mode).
Good luck I hope this works
EDIT:
Glad to see you're up and running

Does your phone connect normally via USB to the computer ? completely uninstall and re-install via a fresh download of KIES. Clear your Temp, %Temp% and prefetch folders. Check if the cable is faulty or not. One of these is bound to help you.
I have tried reinstalling keis and done everything i can think of but nothing seems to help. Before the update of kies my phone used to be able to connect via usb like normal ever since the update its all gone to pot

First of all, I must say that KIES is one of the worst pieces of software I have ever seen. It is buggy and you must hope it will work eventually.
I got one successful with my old phone (galaxy 551) after updating via ODIN first to the correct firmware for my country.
But with my current Galaxy S2 I had to go to the repair center who used ODIN to get the right version on my phone.
I now have made KIES work on my windows 7 machine. I had to install the UK version (not the country version) and used the connection problem wizard to reinstall the drivers. Now it says I have the current version of my firmware.
To go back to your problem. It would help if you post which OS you are on and which version of the firmware you have currently installed ?
Also have you USB error detection off in the settings of your Galaxy S2 ?
Hi,
Has anybody got S2 successfully connected to Gear 2 watches, or is this lost course? I got to myself Neo couple of days ago. I use CM11 rom and installed latest Gear Manager to it. S2 himself pairs with success, even connects via bluetooth. But with Gear Manager 1.7, I can pair with success, but cannot connect successfully to watch. It's just saying connecting and doing nothing. Tried with version 2.0 of Manager and this one doesn't to anything, just saying error message that "unable to connect to Gear", upgrade software and so on. Samsung officially said what they are doing all to get Gear 2 watches working with all Android phones with 4.3 or newer in near future. But then and how long must we wait only future can tell. I'm really happy with S2 and CM11 rom, is this really so that I need to buy new phone or wait before guys from XDA are cooking working software..
Edit:
Yes, got working! Read Gear 2 thread and got hint to do restart after installation. Now Gear Manager 1.7.031004 / 2.0.14031004 paired and connected successfully. Got punch of errors (several stopped workings while connecting -saprovider.apk and goproviders.apk ), but watch and S2 seem to get along.
please explain your steps
Hi Equ,
I'm stuck with exactly the same problem.
I have a Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and I'm trying to connect it to my GS2 i9100.
Looking for other threads I've found only this one and post there my attempts: [HOW TO]USE Samsung Galaxy Gear with i9100
Could you please explain how you get the solution, which rom and gear manager apk have you used?
Thank you so much,
Flavio.

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 . I have latest CM11 by Markox89 on S2, and Gear Manager is latest available I believe 2.0.14042803, but on first time I used 2.0.14041404. Of course many things don't work with S2, but I used this solution to only pair and to finish watch initialization. Using only pedometer and heartrate monitor for daily usage. No alarmclock or notifications (missing them mostly), sadly, but many thing still working Root access was gained couple of days ago, so now must wait for modders, maybe something more will happen for Galaxy S2 too
Thank you so much.
I'm going to try this procedure and report here my results.
I will also investigate the code of the Gear Manager apk because the I'm quite sure the incompatibility message (device not supported exception) could be not a real issue but only a check in the code.
If this is true changing the result of the check should simplify the installation of the apk without need to modify the original build.prop file which could affect the correct phone functionality.
gear connected with i9100
Here my updates:
I was able to connect the gear with the GS2.
Unfortunately changing the puild.prop file record ro.product.model will affect every rom I've tested, after shout down the device can't start again.
I always needed to restore a previous backup in recovery mode.
Using Phone/GUI Interface method also doesn't work properly because I'm still not able to move the apk inside /system/app folder and this probaly is the reason I can't install S-voice and S-healt app.
However I've installed Gear Manager v2.0 14041404 and all Connecting-Fix pack apps (the only exception is SAWeatherProvider_signed.apk) on my GS2 i9100 with android 4.4.2 SlimKat rom.
Connecting the Gear always generate an error but the paring and connection procedure will complete correctly.
I want to buy gear fit but i am not sure it will work so i wont buy, maybe buy smartwatch i dont know (

How did you manage to get you're watch working with you're s2. I have a sght989d S2 and I have been fiddling with it for the past 3 days trying to get it to connect. I would really appreciate you're input.

Hi guys! I am just a newbie in this site and wanted to know a lot from you. My problem is that after downloading a game at the play store, suddenly, applications tend to force close. I can't open a single app though before that, I can play the new games that i downloaded. I have read forums and found out that flashing through odin is the solution. Well, i have downloaded it and everything was fine until problems occurred:
#1 problem) The odin3 1.85 cannot seem to detect my device. After i connect my phone to the laptop ( i should be able to see a yellow box meaning my phone is detected) there is no yellow box that should be the hint that my phone is detected. So i downloaded samsung kies and it also can't detect my phone.
#2 problem) Well, this problem is new. Now every time I connect my phone to the computer, it automatically goes to the android recovery system without pressing the 3 button combo.
What should i do?

No need to worry. You need Samsung USB Drivers.
Download from this page
Or go to Google and search "Samsung USB Drivers"
This is link to official Samsung Page
http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
Install them and Odin recognize the phone.
Press Thanks if helped.
Yesterday i updated the Gear itself, after that, the watch is not connecting to my S4 Mobile. Until the update there was no issue.
It says at the screen " Connecting to Gear" but nothing happens. I tried restarting both devices, but no luck
Try to first connect your gear as a bluetooth device and the second step to be gear manager.
