New to android and would appreciate some help.
My galaxy s2 powers on to 'software upgrade failed...' so I am trying to revert to stock rom.
So far I have:
installed kies and double checked drivers (killed all kies stuff from task manager)
downloaded the stock rom from here: [Heimdall][Odin][Stock][Root]UCKH7 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)
entered download mode on phone (hold volume up+down and plug in usb)
launch odin and put rom in pda slot.
Hit start and it stalls at NAND Write Start!!
tried with heimdall but I keep getting an error after uploading kernel. 'Error: failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence'
been trying tons for the past few hours and am finally getting frustrated. Thanks for any help
Info: att galaxy s2
Already tried: redownloading rom file, tried all my usb ports, tried another computer
Have you killed the Kies tray agent from Task Manager before using Odin?
Also make sure that your phone is in USB debugging mode.
yes, forgot to mention killed all kies stuff.
using heimdall command line I can get the process to start, it gets to 'uploading kernel', goes to 100% and then says 'error: failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence'
kinda feels like progress
what exactly is the rom you're flashing to get back to stock?
The kernel is 100% bone stock, the system image is stock except that it is pre-rooted (su binary and Superuser.apk)
I am including the modem in a separate package since that goes in a separate modem slot, and I don't want to reupload a 200+ MB file if I don't have to.
The kernel + rooted system package is here: http://www.multiupload.com/PNQC9KOD4D
*NEW* - Kernel + non-rooted system package: http://www.multiupload.com/I1G8F47TQ8
The modem package is here: http://www.multiupload.com/VWTSCXE5L0

I've tried both rooted and unrooted roms. They contain a pda.tar that I load into odin, or extract for heimdall
from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
can anyone point me to a different rom I could try?
I've tried a ton of flashing methods all on this same rom....
Exactly how are you getting into download mode?
Volume down+power+home
When you connect to Odin computer does it say you are connected and turn green?

i'm getting into download by holding volume up and down and plugging in usb (AT&T GS2).
It says 'odin mode' in red and says 'downloading...'
when I connect to odin it does say i'm connected and turns green.
I just tried to install clockworkmod recovery and it keeps stopping at NAND write start

I might be colour blind but you might make sure you're trying to flash the right firmware for your phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
it says 'odin mode' in red up top. green robot in center, says 'downloading...'
yes i am sure its the right rom as my box shows version I777UCKH7
heimdall keeps failing after uploading kernel
Yeah don't try and flash the I9100 firmware onto your I777.
The link you gave in your OP I think is where you should be able to get the answers and help you need.
Sorry I know nothing about the I777

Just wanted to post that my problem is solved.
Summary: My AT&T Galaxy SII showed an error on boot (software upgrade failed. connect to kies...). Kies wouldn't even recognize the device so that route was a no go. So as everyone's recommended method of last resort, I decided to flash the device back to stock via odin. I entered download mode (volume up + volume down and plug in usb) and Odin would recognize the device, I would load the stock rom in the PDA slot and hit start and it would begin normally, but it would always fail after a few seconds on 'NAND write start', or 'factoryfs.img'. So I got a 1 click download solution using odin for reverting my phone back to stock. Same thing, it would recognize the phone, but stall out and fail. I also tried flashing clockworkmod via odin but and same problem. People recommended I try heimdall. It would recognize my device, and then fail after 'kernel 100%'.
I tried both programs on 3 different computers, and must have tried 12 different USB slots amongst all of them. I'm fairly handy with this stuff and I worked for hours on it.
xtra info: I had successfully used odin on my computer to flash a kernel just a week ago so I know my stock usb cable was working etc...
Resolution: So I hung my head and drove to the ATT store. After pressing a few buttons on the device and not getting anywhere they sent me to a nearby Device Support Center. I told the girl at the counter that my phone booted to this error screen and that connecting it to Kies did nothing. She asked if it was ok that in the case that she couldn't fix it she would offer me a replacement. I said that was fine and after 10 minutes in the back room she came out with a replacement (free of charge).
Well that was the good news. For the bad news, unfortunately I still don't know how to fix the problem I had, and don't really know how to avoid it in the future. I thought phone's could only get truly bricked if you messed with PIT files and such. There didn't seem to be anything more I could do than flash with odin or heimdall as those were already last resorts. I know I had the right files, the right drivers, and working usb. No matter how crazy I got with my iphone, a full restore was only a click away by plugging in to iTunes. Somehow I messed up my phone so bad that even the device support center couldn't fix it....? Shouldn't have had to be like that.
Thank yous: Thanks to ATT for having a walk-in store and for so easily offering up a replacement. Thanks to the many people on the web who offered remedies.
tl;dr - phone broke, att replaced, still a mystery
recently tried updating to ics via kies but it failed and phone said to eneter recovery... tried that nothing happened it won't enter recovery mode but will access download mode.
searched for a few days for answers and tried flashing with Odin ... the firmware fails then tried the kernel and this passed but still won't flash.
Used a guide on here and followed all methods and then resorted to flashing the bootloader but this also failed now I'm stuck with 2 counts on the kernel a void warranty and a USB jig that won't reset the counter!
Any help please...I just need the phone up and running ! I've rooted and flashed other phones but tried keeping this standard but kies altered that!
don't say use search button as I've been searching for days now this is last resort before paying out at service centre.
Thanks
Andrew
What Magic are you expecting from here now my friend, we to type here the same what you found while searching...
Since you are able to download mod, did you try changing the PC for ODIN flash
first is it i9100 and not other varient?
second just learn how to flash using odin nothing more.

yes zacq8 very true buddy
Don't quite understand exactly what you are asking me but I turned Kies off and all running software and run Odin 1.85 the kernel will flash but the phone won't accept any firmwares at all! it fails .
is there any way to get the phone into recovery ? I thought there may be some way using ADB or another way around to enter recovery or restart update !
dont use stock ics firmware, use the gingerbread version
step 1. download your stock firmware from here
step 2. flash using odin
How to flash.
- Open ODIN.
- Select CODE / MODEM / CSC.
- Put phone in download mode. (HOME - VOLUMN DOWN - LOCK)
- Connect phone with cable. Push start (Wait till phone reboot on Android start screen!)
step 3. download old bootloader from here,
then flash it useing odin (phone must be in download mode)
put it in PDA: and then click start
step 4. learn how to make your own jig from here
step 5. once made just shutdown phone and plug it in, wait 8 seconds
that easy
>>>read this other user's<<<
if i made a mistake dont be mean about it, just confront me, then i will fix my
mistakes
@ starbogt go in the download mode man wen ur kies says for recovery mode thts it
@ ANDROID1997 thank you I've tried that method and it fails the firmware every time.
@ atifis this is the i9100
@ rocky23 thanks but this is what I tried but the phone won't emergency recover with Kies I've tried on 3 pcs and it won't work.
The phone only came back from Phones 4 U a month ago due to a failed USB ! and now this ! been most unreliable phone I've had!
Is there anything else I can try?

take out battery
check under the battery does it say
MODEL: GT-I9100T
or
MODEL: GT-I9100
More trys:
A) If you are on windows 7 run ODIN as administrator ,
b) Try with different versions of ODIN
m8 theres something ur not following correctly can u pm me ur correct prblm in clear language...
Its gt-i9100 tried different cable but going to try pc without kies later if no joy i will have to go to repair centre I need the phone sorting quick
@ZACQ8 I'm on windows 7 as hidden admin as well no luck and tried Odin 1.83 and 1.85
Rocky23 how do you mean in a clear landuage ? I will try and get a message together when my sons in bed thank you

@ Droid_one : the ways to get Download mod from this stage are
1) pull the batter out and insert and Voi-down + Home + Power
2) USB jig
did you try any of the above
EDIT : your case and starbogt's case are different, he was able to get Download mod and unable to falsh from ODIN...

hi zacq8,
thank you for your quick reply, very appreciated.
i just realise my s2 is i9100G, while i flashed with i9100, i think this caused the problem.
i've tried the 1st step you mentioned, but it still displaying the phone---/!\----pc picture. yet i dun know where to get usb jig in my region, do you have any other remedies with this?
sorry, i'm new with the work and the forum, should i create a separate thread or just keep in?
you should get DL mod and to flash a ROM from ODIN, this is the only remidy now as far my knowledge...
I heard the "Phone!PC" also a kind of forced download mod, but (after making 100% sure) keep it for worst and last case if you fail to get DL mod for flashing a stock ROM. (please dont attempt now I am not fully sure)
Where is your location, check somebody near to you is available in these Jig owners, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495867
also it is not a big deal to make a jig, if you now how to solder, can follow this video guide : http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-make-a-usb-jig-for-your-galaxy-s2/
No need to create a seperated thread, you continue posting here only.....bothway you will get same response.

wonder if i can charge the battery in this situation? i'm not sure how much it is left from the last time it run.
okay, i'll try to get a jig asap, meanwhile could you please guide step by step how to use the jig and odin for s2 i9100G? does it restore to the original factory ROM or others?

Option 1: Reboot your computer and retry
Option 2: Use another USB port and try
Option 3: Use another/original USB cable and try
Well after these 3 options are exhausted..only option left is SC as it means your NAND is corrupted..

That thread is for Verizon SGSIII..have you checked with OP that if it works with GT-I9300?
are you able to go into recovery stock/CWM..if yes..connect to adb... go to shell and type mount..
see the permissions for /dev/block/mmcblk0p09 whether it is ro or rw..if yes then you will have to follow that thread but contact the op first as the two bootchain files are not for GT-I9300

6. Kies will try to reinitialize your phone
WIPE METHODES
1. via stock 3e recovery (factory data reset)
2. via phone settings (Settings - Backup and resetting - Factory defaults)
3. via CSC changing (propably you have only TMM csc installed) - dial *#272*IMEI#
4. service code hard reset (dial *2767*3855#)
5. another service code reset menu (*#*#7780#*#*)
ODIN METOD (Without repartition)
1. Install those drivers (confirm overwriting if it ask): http://205.196.123.145/th3bm2j9kuwg/3dh4d6up72me9re/usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

Toolkit for using adb to perform few main operations (push, pull, dump, flash, root, etc). It is usefull if you don't know how to use terminal adb semantic.
Read about it here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
PS. Befor flashing, launch Odin with Administrator rights (right mouse clic on shortcut or program file - Run as Administrator).
Also remember to store all files in C: drive with short path:
C:\Flash\Odin\...
C:\Flash\Firmware\firmware_version\...
Do not use paths with spaces or unusual chars.

i follow carefully every single step and options that you give, but still doesent work :crying: im losing hope to ressurect this phone :crying: but thank you for your help..
any other suggestions?
Im affraid that you can not do anything more without USB debugging enabled and with no possibility to use service codes.
You cant use adb functionallity in this case which will be your last hope.
Have you tried all Odin versions, even 1.3? You can try to use another data cable, it is standarized and should work one from other phone or even camera - miniUSB to USB.
Maybe you wil find gsm center with riftbox or something simmilar to flash your device.
I'm out of ideas what else can help you.

I have tried the process through kies, the same thing happens as when i try to flash via odin, the process bar goes straight to full and freezes there.
In odin it says NAND write start though. nothing appears to be working

thanks for your reply but i already done that so many times, but still no luck
i think my NAND is corrupted is there anyway to fix this instead of changing m.board?

What does SC mean?
Hey everyone, so I've been using a Cyanogenmod S2 for the past few months and everything was great.
Until recently it started to reboot by itself,
until one day when I woke up "Kernel panic upload mode" was on the screen.
I rebooted the phone,
and then was greeted with a black screen after the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen.
The buttons do light up, but nothing else could be done.
I entered download mode to flash a new firmware,
but then somehow it failed and then it says connect to computer to redownload firmware or something when I boot it on right now.
I can't get it to flash anything at all, whenever I use odin it gets stuck at setup connection,
I installed Kies but it doesn't recognize my phone as well, neither does my computer....
Need help. Desperately. :crying::crying::crying:

Then you need to flash a stock rom with Odin. You don't really have any other option.

That's the problem, I can't seem to get Odin to flash no matter what, I've already tried different versions of Odin,
but they always end up with either this (failure) or stuck at setup connection..
Any ideas, please?
There's been many threads re: this issue on here over the past week listing the troubleshooting steps to go thru when Odin won't work, search for those threads (Immortalneo has listed them, go through his posts as a shortcut).
Edit - Hang on a minute, what model number do you have; what's the sticker on the phone chassis under the battery say ?

I'm using a GT-i19100
I'm going through immortalneo's posts but so far nothing's up..
Am currently following this guide but to no avail, (no .pit file in the compressed .rar file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40154030&highlight=+pit#post40154030
Edit: I think it's a GT-i19100G because I vaguely remember such a thing on the startup screen...
If you've got an I9100, why are you trying to flash firmware for T-989 ?? I suggest you go back to Samfirmware & get an I9100 stock rom for starters.
Ignore that guide; your phone isn't bricked. However, it may well be if you try & flash a PIT file (Although, if you've somehow flashed firmware for a different model including PIT, you may need to at some point. Just not yet). OK. This is the first & last time I'm posting this stuff for the next month:-
Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work
-----------------------------------
*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.
*Ensure Kies & all it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are (choose 'kill process tree').
*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.
*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)
*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google)
*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.
*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.
*Run Windoze Update.
*And if all this fails, try a different PC. And if it won't work first time on another PC, go thru the above steps on that PC.
Hello everyone ..
It could solve the problem? I am in a very similar, and have helped me a lot, but none of the options so far have been effective. I'm starting to resign myself to use it as a paperweight, but still have not lost hope.:crying:

Stop Now :0 ! You are trying to install a T-Mobile T989 firmware.It's a Galaxy s2 too,but from T-Mobile.It's not the same.Search on Sammobile for an I9100 firmware,preferable Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.Of course it gives an error,because it's not the right firmware.
Now this thread is just fun!

"not working" (or "tried everything") are triggering keyword for me - this is the point where I usually left the thread.
- be descriptive
- give reproducable steps
- provide logs, exact error messages, etc
you could start with picture of your download mode, so we can know your current device state.
Odin3 creates a log file - upload it, or even better read it and copy-paste relevant info in [CODE] tags [/CODE].
your own research for error messages is very encouraged.

look i downloaded the "combination rom" for my device. then in odin i attached the file in the "ap" slot and then i tried to reboot the device to download mode but unfortunately i cant tell if it worked. from what i herd, if when you connect your device and odin shows it is blue you are good to go well.. i click start with that factor in my mind and after about 15 min each time i had tried putting the phone in download mode odin just shows "fail!" on top of the port of to which my phone is connected to.
what i did
1.try putting said device (galaxy s7) in "downloader mode" by holding volume down+home+power then press volume up to hopefully press continue, mind you i can not see the screen.
2. load the the combination file in odin on slot "ap"
3.press start since my device is labeled in blue
4. my result

you can't just download any random combination ROM. first figure out current bootloader level. bootloader is downgrade protected.
you are right it's hard to figure out with black screen, I don't know what to do in that case. maybe it's best to try all available bootloader levels up to current latest available. start with lowest U1
there is a log txt file on your computer, maybe it reveals more details.
you must not flash from Odin3 AP slot without inspecting what is inside tar. re-partitioning checkbox must be unticked. userdata partition must not flashed, so either get HOME_CSC.tar and flash from HOME_CSC or flash necessary partitions on its own from Heimdall.
What is your device model SM-930*? Exynos 8890 or Snapdragon 820? *last letter/digit is important

i matched all the infor for that device from where i found it but i did not think to look in the file ill do that next!
so it's qualcomm. try this tool there are some loaders for samsung. if it works you can dump current rom off device and figure out its exact buildno from boot.img. you only have to figure out proper method to enter edl mode first..
