Big problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people, i got very big problem and i hope you can help me to solve it.
I got Samsung GT-I9100G with android 4.1.2, kernel version 3.0.31-893450
And i got problem with usb and recovery. First problem is with usb. When i connect my phone to my computer, it shows that phone is charging, but no conectivity, my computer shows message "Device is not recognized. I tried every single solution i found on google but it didnt helped me. I got his original usb, i tried many different usb cables and different computers but it didnt helped. My phone is rooted and usb worked earlier perfectly. Im using windows 8.1 on my computer, i tried many different drivers for my phone, didnt helped me either, tried with factory reset, still nothing.
My next problem is with recovery, i tried to flash another system, but i couldnt. My phone got his default, original recovery. It shows me problem something likv "failed verification package, or something like that. I tried to flash another recovery, it shows me the same thing. Now im wondering is there any fix for these two problem, or atleast with the second one, so i can flash new android version.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my very bad english.
Cheers!

Flashing blazinh kernal v16 should solve the issue..

Thank you very much. This solved my problem!

Galaxy S2 Driver issue, unable to restore to stock.

I have a galaxy S2 which I've updated via XDA to 2.3.6, everything was working fine until a few days ago, I plugged the phone into my PC and I was given "One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned et etc" and then "Device Drive not installed correctly" something along those lines.
I've tried it on other machines and the same thing happens, I can't access the storage nor detect it in odin or keis.
Any suggestions or help would be hugely appreciated.
Bump for bumpsake
Try the first part of this thread (The bit about uninstalling/reinstaling Kies/drivers).
Can you let me know what happens? I had exactly the same issue but its in warranty repair, I would like to try to fix it when it comes back, Im assuming it wont be fixed under warranty
No Nandroid backup ???
jje
No backup, I backup files and wipe generally, but the phone can't sync with the PC so I can't reinstall a different stock firmware.
I'd pay good money if someone could fix this or had an idea how to fix it?
First step would be back up data and factory reset .

See my thread here.
If the modem/pda fix doesn't work, try another USB cable - you might be pleasantly surprised.
I know I was...
Excellent advice. And also along this line of thinking, another PC/OS might be worth a shot as well if nothing else works.

You did
Tried the dialpad PDA/Modem hack? From my googling last week, it doesn't seem to have worked for the majority.
Ive now tried a new cable, Ive tried restarting the phone when its plugged into the pc but when its powered off and charging it will not turn on no matter what I do.
I have tried uninstalling kies and restarting then letting windows install a driver but it installs the old driver I believe.
This all started with 2.3.6 and as far as I can tell, I must have installed the wrong version for my region or something and its affected the way it shows up.
i had exactly the same problem from an hour to another i was really pissed off,
i had a nandroid backup but that doesnt helped much.
the thing is i reinstalled my computer clean install without any software only kies, cleaned the usb port of the cellphone and by doing that i got my cellphone recognized at odin sometimes, when i got recognized i pray it doesnt disconnect and flash full XXKI3 with pit file and problem solved, don't know why this happened but i was going crazy haha
a tip that helped me with odin. get to device manager with the phone plugged in and disable unknown device ( the one that cellphone is) then if you reconnect your cellphone twice for me it's work on odin!
the main problem for me was the unknown device you had and that it reconnect constanly, also you have to know the solution for me was xxkp8 with pit that solved my problem then went to xxki3 and is was solve already but i think xxki3 willl be the same for you, i whink the clean install with pit is the solution, maybe someone can correct me, this worked for me (i thought it was the usb port and my guarantee is under USA and i'm from argentina so i was getting crazy, i tried all and this helped (also with this problem couldnt go back to stock firmware :S)
good luck i hope this help you
PS: i tried all sollutions they said to you here and nor one helped! and searched the hole forum and nothing helped me!
PS2: i thing it can be related to something broked on the cellphone software, cause my region last firmware was 2.3.4 i was using simple and clean rom 2.3.6 not for my region without a problem and suddenly this happened now i'm again on S&C cause it fits for my usage and no problem at all!, something messed up the cellphone maybe a buggy flash of siyah kernel by the time it happened to me i was testing siyah 2.6.3 i think and it was really buggy for some people
Hey fdbailes,
That pretty much sounds like what is going on with me, I've tried what you suggested but sometimes when I plug it in, it doesn't even detect a device, the PC makes the noise but nothing happens.
It's really very disapointing, I am a carer for a disabled person so I have no money to buy a new phone and I really really want ICS on my galaxy.
Thanks for the help, Ill keep trying, what version of Odin were you using?
Did you use the stock Samsung Cable?
I cant think of anything else except
Does anyone know if its possible to install a new kernel from the SD somehow?

Mobile Odin, if you're rooted.
I am not, I'm on 2.3.6, please tell me theres a quick and dirty mobile root? lol
I'd settle for hugely complicated and filthy....
Edit: Would is it possible/would it be possible, to update firmware or root over wifi or bluetooth?
I was thinking that you could install the cwm manager apk, but I'm not sure if you have to be rooted to install it... Brain not working well today, anyone else can confirm/deny?
You can but try anyway. Download Superuser and Nitrality from the market, use Nitrality to install the apk, see what happens.
View attachment CWMManager.apk
Blast, CWM wont run unless I have root access.
Also, Nitrality keeps crashing at launch
Did you ever find a solution for this?? I just got a new tmobile sg2 but my laptop is doing the same thing?? I really wanna root it already

[Q] S2 (Semi)bricked? Stuck at boot, No recognition by odin...

Hey guys,
A friend of mine was having some trouble with his S2 which was running Omega rom v16.2 (phone would say it was charging with no cabe in it etc), so i told him he should try updating to Omega v23 Final and see if that fixed the problems.
However, after installing Omega v23 Final, he was stuck at the bootscreen, i told him it the first boot could take a while but it was stuck at bootscreen for a couple of hours before he gave up.
He tried everything, he wiped everything in recovery (system, cache, dalvik etc) but the problem persist.
So i figured i would flash the stock android rom via odin since nothing was working,
But the problem is that windows does not recognise the phone, neither does odin. (he had this in the past on old rom, it would recognise for some time then it wouldnt and so on)
it tries to install but fails every time, i tried installing several different drivers ( kies, and different stand alone driver packs) but i could not get it to work.
So, does anyone happen to know what is wrong?
Help is appreciated!
edit: odin does not say anything, windows says the usb device could not be installed
Tried several usb cables and ports, without succes
I think Debug Options wasn't enabled.What does Odin say?
Edit:Your USB is bad! If it says it's charging w/o a cable,it means bad USB...Try to lift the tongue(The metal part inside the USB port)with a toothpick.
And you could also try another usb cable as well as another usb port.

[Q] SGS2 can't connect to PC

I know that many people have issue with connecting SGS2 to PC, and i also know that there are plenty of different solutions on internet, but i wouldn't be writing here if i haven't tried literally almost every possible solution out there. I spent 2 days trying to fix this, but still no result.
PC doesn't recognize that my phone is connected, and on the rare occasions when it does - it just shows me an error with drivers - "Windows can't recognize device" or something like that. Of course i tried numerous times reinstalling drivers, Kies, i tried to connect on 3 different PCs, i bought a new cable today - still nothing (but when other phone is connected with the same cable, its recognized immediately.)
I'm running a custom ROM - XWLSW NeatROM Lite v4.8 (JB 4.1.2), but I flashed this rom several months ago and i didn't have a problem with connection until last month. I also tried several other ROMs, but nothing helped.
I tried to dial *#7284#, then change USB to Modem and then back to PDA, didn't help - the same with *#9090# and setting it to Log via Uart. And of course, USB debugging is off. I'm really desperate, the phone is working fine in any other way, but this is a huge complication for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also sorry for my english, I'm Slovak.
Hmm, could be a problem with the USB port in the phone. I had the same symptoms and turns out the USB port was damaged so i got it replaced (i has warranty)
Also have you tried if ODin recognizes the phone? Go into Download mode and open Odin. If you see yellow (or blue) box with writing "com:" something than you're good. Otherwise it's the first alternative
I tried Odin, still nothing. Well, I hope it's not a problem with phone USB port - i have a warranty, but I bought it on Cyprus.
Is there any other solution?
I know this.It's a Sammy ROM bug.I had it too on stock 4.0.3.Since 4.2.2 I don't have it.
Well, yesterday I tried SentinelROM v4.75-CM10.1, which has 4.2.2 FW, and still the same problem

[Q] Battery problem and connect to pc problem

Hello,
I have a very big problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300.
The problem started when my battery ran down very very fast. I can use my phone for no longer than maybe 6 hours, and that is in stand by. If I want to charge my phone till it's completely full it might take two days on the charger as well, even when my phone is off. I tried to reset my phone to factory defaults, but that didn't fix the problem. I even bought a new battery, hoping that would solve the problem, but even no luck with that. The phone also becomes hot in the bottom. Now I wanted to bring it back to the store for warrenty but there lies the next problem, my phone is rooted.
I know it is possible to unroot the phone, and it's nog too hard to do. But every time I connect my phone with USB to my computer, my computer doesn't recognize it. I get the next error message "USB device not recognized". I tried different cables, I tried on an other computer, but still I get the same error. I also tried the S3 of a friend on my computer and with his phone I do get a connection. So I know there is nothing wrong with the drivers on my computer or something like that. There must be something wrong with my phone.
Now the problems won't stop here because there is even a third problem. Like I said before I have rooted my phone, but I can't use SuperUser. When I start SuperUser it says "The SU Binary needs to be updated. Continue?". Then when I press continue I get the message "Installation failed !". I can't use CWM as well. I wanted to use Triangle Away before bringing it back for warrenty, but I can't use it because I can't use SuperUser.
If some one would have an idea to unroot my phone without using USB so I can bring it in for warrenty. Or find a way to get my USB port running again, I think that would fix my problems.
I spend a few hours trying to fix these problems, but now I've come to a point I don't know what to do anymore, I hope anyone of you is willing to help me. I'll be for ever gratefull.

Hi.
If i was you, i would try to install a official version, using Odin.
Also, my advice is not to use the original charger, Even chinese have better one´s...
Did you install Kies and drivers on your PC? Check that too.
Consider install leaked 4.2.2 version of Rom, since it uses Odin to do it.
I hope i gave at least some clues....

Thanks for your reply,
I forgot to mention that I have the official ROM installed, I only rooted it. But even if I would want to install a new ROM, my computer doesn't recognize my phone throug USB. So I can't install a ROM using Odin unless my USB port is running again.
I tried several chargers already, I don't think the problem lies in the charger because the battery drains very fast when it's of the charger.
I did install Kies and drivers, I even uninstalled them and reinstalled them again a couple of times. I even tried it on different computers. And the Galaxy S3 of a friend of mine does make a connection. So I don't think the problem lies there.

Hummm....
Did you try hard reset? Definitely without USB recognition, you can`t go to next stage....
In setup did you check optinos like USB debugging?
At this moment im out of options....maybe a poweruser can help you better:highfive:

What exactly do you mean with hard reset? If you mean powering on with home button and volume up button pushed, and then select "wipe data/factory reset". Then yes, I tried that.
In setup I did check USB debugging. The thing is, when I power on with home button and volume down button, I enter download mode. But even in download mode my computer does not recognize my phone. I'm not sure, but I think the computer should.
I'm really stuck here :crying:

Odin.

Hey guys. I'm having some big problems here.
The thing is,Odin was reading my phone perfectly when in download mode before. Now,it just doesn't wants to do that. I tried everything possible. Starting from different versions of Odin and ending on reinstalling samsung drivers/kies. Can anyone help me with that? Seriously,this is the first time I can't solve a problem.
Btw,I can't try any other cable for now,but I remember having same problems with other three cables I had and problem was getting solved by reinstalling drivers or using connecting to another port. But now nothing works.
Any help?
It's either a lead or windows issue, find a guide on how to completely remove USB drivers and devices.
