I'm assuming you are trying to flash stock rom with odin? Have you repartitioned your S2 in the past? If not have you tried to download the stock rom again or a different stock rom and try again?

Hi!
Problem solved.
Yes I had tried to flash a 4.1.2 stock ROM via ODIN 3.09. It seems to be the USB drivers with some problems... I changed the pc and cable, and it worked flawless, only one attempt with same ROM and version of ODIN.

Which firmware you flashed through ODIN?

if your experiencing a boot loop after flashing go into recovery and wipe data see if that helps

bootloop happens when the Rom corrupts during installation or installing any other application. or some people using ROM Manager . Never use ROM Manager you will loose the cwm. Download any ROM which supports Odin. flash it you should be fine. Then you can switch back to your favorite ROM. this is a good rom you can flash via odin.

PS : if you don't like to flash ROM just flash CWM via Odin which should give you access to CWM. you can restore you backup ROM if you have one or have any other ROM in your phone memory.

I was facing the same problem some days ago, but after surfing this forum, I realised that if you have Kies running in the background, Odin will behave oddly and will not flash the firmware by going into a bootloader loop.
I suggest that you re-install the drivers again and make sure that Kies is not running in the background when you are flashing through Odin (just fire up your Task Manager in Windows and terminate the Kies process).
Hope this helps you...

What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

will it work if i used samsung kies recovery
Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

Hi
I can't possibly state how foolish I feel right now, but I accidently flashed my Samsung Galaxy S2 I-9100 with a Custom ROM made for the I-9100G version. As a result my phone is now only able to reach the Download mode; not even recovery mode. However on connecting with Odin the test is repeatedly FAILED. I am now left with a stuck phone which when tried to be powered up is always stuck in an incomplete boot cycle. Do we have any suggestions / ways to get this corrected, or do I have to order a new phone!??
Please help...
Thanks!

Have you tried re-partitioning your phone yet with ODIN?

Not yet. I may actually be a perfect example of one who should NOT try rooting..complete newbie in this world!!
In case you have any suggestions how to go about doing that please do share the same.
I took a backup of the stock ROM using Nandroid and had TWRM installed.
Of course, these are of no use until I'm at least able to reach the recovery mode!!
Have a look at my guide here on how to use the pit files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ivatives/mod-increase-partition-size-t3011162
Download the stock pit file
Download the official stock firmware
Flash both in ODIN (tick repartition and make sure you have selected the pit file and the stock rom to flash)
Start the flashing process
I flashed CM11 about 3 months ago and it worked well. But about a week ago my phonejust didn't go any further than the s3 information screen that comes at start up.
I tried rebooting it but no effects. Then i tried to flash new roms but in every rom CWM showed errors and i couldnt install any. Any suggestions?
Flash back to a stock rom via odin then try another rom or use the one you have been using. Sometimes you can't flash one rom over another.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

To flash via odin you will need original samsung USB cable and Odin3.9 or 3.0. Download stock rom by searching on Google DOWNLOAD STOCK FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 I9300. After download open Odin if u are using odin 3.09 then u will get option AP then u have to flash via that....If u are using latest version u will get option PDA...so flash via that.
If u got success.....hit thanks:good:
Hello, My old S2 was dead (i thought), but after i remember charging it for a night, it suddenly worked again.
The problem is, i had a rom Resurection Remix, and i want to put a stock 4.1.2 rom.
My pc didn't recognize the phone via usb, it charges but nothing more. So i can't use Odin. I can enter recovery and download mode. I tried to do a factory reset via recovery mode, but now the phone is stuck in the resurection remix logo.. I can only install a new rom using the recovery mode and 'installing from zip', but i can't find a working link to that rom. even here on Xda the links are dead.
Phone is from europe.
Can anyone provide me a link to a stock rom please?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I was able to download a Resurection Remix rom and install using CWM. Phone not stuck on boot anymore. But still can't find a stock Rom (zip) so i can install it using the recovery mode, because that's the only option i have, since my pc still doesn't recognize my phone as usb.
Hi,
Given the situation that you have experienced, it seems that your USB port on you phone needs replacing. This is highly recommended as if something does happen to your phone, you won't be able to restore it.
The closest ROM I could find that is based on stock ROM is NeatROM which can be found in the link below:
NeatROM thread
Stock ROM should only be flashed via ODIN which requires a working USB port and a PC nearby.

Someone in the S2 community could convert a stock .tar into a recovery flashable zip. There are many here for other devices.

I am wanting to download stock ROM for GTi9100 (Australia) and would appreciate any help with a download link where I am NOT going to get malware or have to pay a fee. Samsung site does not recognise a search for S2 GTi9100 neither does sammobile. I have tried dozens of threads on XDA site but just get redirected to some crap site or the links are no longer active. Can anyone help please.

What mobile carrier do you use?
I found these two firmwares for i9100 in Australia
XSA-https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s-/GT-I9100/XSA/
Optus-https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s-/GT-I9100/OPS/
Create a free account there and choose the "free download" option, it won't cost anything and won't have malware, the download will take a little longer though, just be patient.
