Guys,
I purchases a 'damaged' s2 for a few bucks. When it starts, it only shows the galaxy s gt-19000 samsung screen. So i think there is no rom available.
Can i update a new rom through Odin3? If so, which rom should i use and how should i configure Odin3?
thanks for the help.

Hi,
Yes you can flash stock ROM via Odin. If you can boot into the OS after flashing, then you should be able to root your phone then flash custom ROMs via recovery.

Are you sure it's an S2? The gt-i9000 you mention would indicate that it isn't.....
(It *should* say gt-i9100)
If you're *positive* it's an S2 and you are *definitely* seeing gt-i9000 on startup, then somebody has flashed it incorrectly with a Galaxy S(1) rom/firmware.
Not sure if that's going to affect the recovery of the device (partition layout likely to be different).

many thanks for thh reply, i am not positive its a s2, bought it as a s2 though. They both look the same for me. The only galaxy i had was a S3
i do know that , at boot, it tells it is a gt-I9000
What does the sticker under the battery say it is?

It also shows gt i9000

Then it would appear that you have the Galaxy S(1) and not the Galaxy S2.

for all the guides you need to modify your device.....
But as @gsstudios says, first you need to flash your device with an official firmware.....no use trying to root if your device don't boot.....

Hi everyone,
After installing an ICS rom on my S2 using a CNET tutorial
my phone is stuck on the splash screen even though there were no problems during installation. The ROM i was using before was the HyDrOG3NICS: CM9 + AOKP rom using a tutorial on android soul.
I don't think this exact topic has been covered before and was wondering if you guys had any advice about how to proceed? I'm on T-Mobile UK with a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 16GB. Thanks!
So_What?
What was involved in the cnet tutorial? odin flash?
see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499
did you backup your old rom?
I would be asking CNET why .

Exactly. My device is samsung.
But I'm Korean and this model is just for Korea.
I think this similar with Galaxy s2 model.
You can think my device model is Samsung Galaxy s2.
Better u confirm from net comparing images etc.
Then u can easily flash rom using Odin flashtool as recommended for Samsung firmware flash tool
HIT THANKS IF HELPED.
Hey guys im that standard new guy, that needs help.
I have a Galaxy s2 SGH-I777 or the GT-i9100 Not 100% sure. I currently have a bricked (or what i believe to be a bricked phone) not sure. It pops up with the start up screen (SAMSUNG GALAXY S II GT-I9100 with the yellow yield sign with exclamation mark in the middle). So im not sure what phone i have but i just want it to work again. I understand i can not provide alot of info due to not being about to look up its info. I believe i loaded the wrong CWM on it and cannot find the right one. Any help is appreciated thanks again.

you should post it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1148
and i think you have a bootloop if u did a nandroid u can restore it back
tell us which kernel u have flashed??...nd yes u have flashed a wrong kernel most probably.
AW: [Q] Galaxy s2 NEED MAJOR HELP.
hey!
as your bootscreen says i9100, you seem to have that version. to be sure, you can check the sticker under your battery.
what you have is called a bootloop. it is solvable. search for bootloop or flash a rom with odin. use the search function, there are quite a lot of guides around.

I responded to you on the Newbie thread.
Hi,
when i am trying to install cm-11-20140926-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip to my samsung galaxy s3, GT-i9300.
i am getting error like "this package is for m0 i9300 gt-i9300 devices this is a m3".
from where i can get the build pointed to m3, i9300 ?
please advice
any help will be appreciated.
The m3 is not the i9300, but i9305, i9305N or i9305T
