I've flashed a custom rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 phone, it was for an i9100g so my phone is hard-bricked. I'd like to hear any possible ways to make it work if possible.
Anyway I saw this topic and I'd like to know if that could work on my S2 phone(?)
PS: Sorry if it wasn't the correct place to ask such a question
I mean flashing an i9100g image on an i9100 is a bad thing to do, but I hardly doubt it's hard-bricked. Do you see the boot animation (samsung symbol) or do you get into download mode? If you get into download mode you can easily flash an image via Odin.
Iirc it's not that easy to brick an i9100.
Edit: This might help.
@NetDwarf It's hard-bricked already, I couldn't open the download mode or anything, it's a DEAD phone.

I saw that topic and I'd like to know if it could work with my S2, and if so can you get me the image file for it?

Samsung galaxy s2 GT 9100T vodafone Australia
Tried to root with Odin, got to the stage of superoneclick 1.9.5 (the recommend version) and it basically crashed.
Now all I get is a Samsung galaxy SII logo along with a yellow warning signal (exclamation mark) and it just hangs there.
I can get into download mode still...but I cant seem to progress from there.
I have scoured this site for hours, Everything I look at has files which no longer downloads (multi upload doesn't seem to exist)
I am tearing my hair out trying to find out what to do.
I dont even know how to find my firmware version as I didnt write it down (stupid).
I have ordered a jig, but I don't know if that will help in any way.
Any advice?

You don't need jig if you can get to download mode still. All the jig does is get you to download mode (and reset the flash counter if you still have older bootloaders). Just download the latest Vodafone Australia firmware from samfirmware.com, and flash it.
To root, use CF-Root method. It's super easy, and basically one step.
Cf root is the easiest way, got a 9100t too, im not sure the superoneclick was suitable for the T so i didnt do it. i remembered i tried superoneclick and my antivirus killed adb and i got the same signal too, samsung p1000
you need to reflash, you can still save your phone.
So, I was trying to root my:
Samsung Galaxy S2
i9100g
(Not sure what Rom/ICS/Firmware it had before I tried rooting)
I tried flashing with Siyah Kernel to Root like I had previously done with another i9100, but in turn the S2 now sits at the black boot screen displaying "Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100G" and will not go further.
I've read about 50 or so threads relating to the boot screen problem.
Yes, the device may reach Download mode, but not Recovery mode.
Any help would be extremely helpful.
Thank you.

Hey dude, in the first place u have flashed a wrong kernel on ur I9100G, since siyah doesnt support that model due to difference in hardware alltogether compared to I9100 international and its variants M/P/T.
Ur lucky since ur phone is able to go to Dwnld mode.
Just dwnld a stock firmware meant for I9100G ( u can dwnld the same from www.sammobile.com) and flash the same from Pc Odin to boot ur phone Normally and then try the link below to have a proper root of ur phone

My Galaxy S2 suddenlz got stuck on the boot screen that gives the name and model number and since then has been on the same screen. I have never rooted the phone so thats not the problem. I can however enter download mode so I was wondering if there was a way that i could maybe flash a rom onto it, I've never done this before and could not get it to work by following the tutorial on cyanogenwiki.
any help would be much appreciated to revive my gs2
Thread stickied near the top of Q&A showing you how to flash stock rom with Odin (get one for your country/carrier from Samfirmware).
Hi guys, I`m new to this forum and I wouldn`t be posting this topic if I found a solution on other forums. If anyone had a problem like mine, or saw a thread before, I would appreciate if you pasted a link to the solution, or gave some kind of advice.
First of all, I`m new to rooting, custom roms, etc., so I guess that whatever I did, it was my fault. I got this Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) as a gift, and since i already had a phone, I wanted to take a risk and take a shot at installing a lollipop rom. I watched a few tutorials, it seemed simple enough, so i thought why the hell not, but in the process something went wrong...
Sooo... here is what I`ve done:
1.) Rooted my phone with VROOT
2.) Flashed custom recovery with ODIN. I`m not sure which version of CWM it was, 6.0.4.5 I think (the file is named CWM KitKar compatible-I9100). When I flashed CWM, my phone didn`t boot up. All I got was a Samsung Galaxy logo and a yellow triangle for a few seconds before my screen went black again, but I could still access both recovery mode and download mode using the combination of keys.
3.) And then I did what I think screwed up my phone. I thought maybe flashing a lollipop rom through recovery would solve the issue (maybe the recovery is incopatible with my older stock rom and it`s the reason why my phone isn`t booting). So i flashed CM12 from galaxys2root.com. It`s called CM12.1S ROM for Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Andorid 5.1)
Not only it didn`t solve my problem, I still can`t get my phone to boot (now I get a samsung logo and a yellow triangle, but screen doesn`t go black after a few seconds, I left it in this state till the battery ran out and still nothing). And on the top of all things, I can`t get my phone to recovery mode anymore, all I get is the yellow triangle. I can still get it into download mode, but it doesn`t connect with my PC anymore. It charges, but I can`t connect it with ODIN anymore. And the weirdest thing is, when I connect it to PC, my other USB port goes crazy and disconnect my USB Wi-Fi adapter
What went wrong? Any advice is highly anticipated. :good:
