I update as it tells me and it gets stuck for about 30 minutes... at this point i don't know WHAT to do and unplug it... there it is bent beyond recognition. nothing will work.

Kies is the devil mate, samsung has made a brick machine here... I only ever use Odin and NOTHING else!!!
If it turns on its not bricked, the only way to possibly rectify this is to actually use kies again;( Try using the emergency recovery flash, if this fails it looks like its an RMA;(((
KIES IS JUST DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS!
What do you mean by RMA? Kies fails to find any device under emergency recovery... Odin has only gone as far as Factoryfs.img. That's as far as it's ever gone. usually gets stuck at cache,img. really desperate here and not going to sleep...

RMA is a return to samsung....
OK it seems like something in your phone had become corrupted by the rouge kies flash, if odin cant flash a new rom, it looks like you could have a big problem...;((
fantastic... man i was so happy... And to think it was an official APP doing an OFFICIAL update... How could they f this up any worse...

Well if you can get into download mode, not to fret. When you try and flash through ODIN, if it fails even once you will need to shut down the phone by pressing power button. Then unplug the usb cable, go into download mode and try again. I used to have the problem with my captivate - if it fails once, you need to restart into download mode again otherwise it will keep failing and failing. Most likely not an RMA - I have done this many times. Not on my SGS2 yet but previous sammy phones
If you still have problems, try another USB slot. Then try another PC if absolutely necessary.

No problem mate,
Our community is always here to help if we can Im glad your phone is restored to its brilliance
Haha, good you sorted it out
Now that's genuine gratitude there!
Joe
If i could hug you all i would i swear. I think i'm going to hang around here more often than i would have if nothing happened. You guys deserve me lurking around more ehehe.
God i feel so relieved... thanks so much again.
Yeah no problem mate. I am not going to say its impossible, but bricking an SGS2 can be fairly difficult. I just wanted to share what I learned about 6 months ago when I thought I bricked my Captivate I kept trying to flash while still in download mode when it just needed to be reset
Oh and my very first post on XDA was the same relief when I found a post that showed me how to fix. lol
Have you tried to update to the new FW update that KIES gave you, again and seen success?

I think i'm going to leave kies sitting there for a while now until the initial impact of my phone dying is gone.
Also...by using Odin i think i've updated to the latest version.

Yes the sgs2 works perfectly on the Rogers network. I didn't even have to enter APN settings and hspa+ works too. I bought mine from expansys.ca and altogether was around 800 with taxes and shipping. However I think handtec in the UK is cheaper now. You may have to pay duties but should still be cheaper

i have same problem...
try to change ID:COM .. problem solved
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I am on stock but somehow, KIES wont work. It keeps saying connecting, but wont go further than that.
USB debugging is unchecked so I am sure that it not the problem. I heard T-Mobile for ICS upgrade, so I just wanted to be prepared for ICS update for ATT, but idk, why KIES is not working.
Any suggestions?
Bent USB prong in the phone? I've had to adjust mine several times since I got it launch day. Or hardware failure. When my USB was bent it could still charge via a wall charger
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
yeah I think it works when i use at a certain angle.
I am trying to go back to the stock rom and hopefully i can return it, but for some reason Odin is not recognizing it. I mean the yellow box of COM:0 does not show up in the "I777UCKH7-CL503881-No-BL.exe"
Do you know the reason for this?
Missing driver.
IIRC I believe you were supposed to install KIES and another Samsung driver...but I remember using my phone on a netbook without it and it worked...
Try installing the USB driver on the official samsung website? I can't post links yet or I would link it...

There can be multiple possible reasons. You've eliminated some of them. Could be a failing usb port on the phone, bad cable, etc.
If you can't get usb to work, you can flash back to stock using mobile odin. I assume you are rooted. Just download the one-click downloader to your phone over wifi, or use dropbox or something to get it onto your phone. Mobile odin will recognize and flash from the one-click downloader. There is even a guide in the general section on how to do this.

Creepy just posted this while I was getting you the link for the guide to return to stock with no PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691659.
I returned to stock, and I think I figured out the problem as well.
The problem I am quite sure is the USB port on the phone. Like I said, when I keep the USB cable connected at a certain angle, it works just fine.
I will just have to live with it now I think because ODIN displays custom binary installed and the count is 2, so I dont think ATT will let me exchange the phone for a new one.

ehhh, its worth a try. Thats a hardware failure, the one that samsung is known for. Mine is starting to go out too.
I've returned 1 rooted phone with this issue, and warranty'd 1 rooted one that had a broken LCd.
These were Infuse's but same damn samsung problem.

No wonder most people are crazy about Apple sells so many iPhones
I had the very same issue as you are describing.
All you need to do is tweak the USB port a little. Did mine about 3 or 4 months ago and have not had to touch it since.
Use a small precision screw driver, fold a couple layers of Kleenex over the tip and gently bend it towards the screen side of the phone.
It WILL work perfect after that.

I did that like two times already.
I even flashed a different stock Rom. I mean I started with The kernel + rooted UCKH7
but then since it didnt work, I tried Kernel + cache + rooted UCKK6 package from:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
CANT USE IT. Only 3 days old its a replacment note and it keeps going into NO SERVICE and doesnt work AT ALL until I reset it! When I try to put airplane mode in and out it keeps freezing up and its like itsSTUCK in airplane mode!. STOCK GINGERBREAD no root nothing.
What is this?
Right now the ONLY fix is factory resetting it and it works for a few and does it again. It just started today.
Any Ideas?
Try updating to ICS.

My wife's Galaxy SII had the exact same problem. No data, can't make calls, and was stuck in Airplane mode.
Did a wipe, did everything... nada.
It ended up being the Radio hardware was fried. Sent into Bell, who sent it to Samsung for repair. The defective component was replaced, and the phone was back to normal.

Trying to decipher that was like watching a puppy fall down a flight of stairs. In slow motion. But you're saying that your phone reboots when you plug your usb cable into your computer right? It immediately reboots?

i dont understand what are u saying. but i said when i plug my usb cable in my computer it's rebooting. firstly if it open it is shoting down then restarting phone and showing battery unit then doing like that.
I honestly dont know what the problem might be,I would try flashing back to stock then going from there, to eliminate any possibility of a hardware issue.

Dear people,
The day before yesterday I've flashed "Android Revolution HD 32.0" on my Samsung Galaxy S3. It worked perfectly and charged it overnight while I was sleeping. At the end of the next day the battery was 0%, just chatted alot with people. But it doesn't charge anymore.
I've tried differend working cables, the cables work on other phones exept my phone.
Used 2 differend battery's to charge
If i put in the micro usb in my galaxy, i see the 'charging animation' for 1-2 seconds than it falls into black and doesn't do anything. Charged on 'black screen' for an hour or so, but phone still doesn't boot. I think it doesn't charge anymore because of a software change. (not sure, just possible)
Does someone know a fix or can just help me?
Thanks,
Marvin! :good:
