Just thought i would post another reply, not to get my post count up but purely to explain that the reason i'm probably not getting any answers to my problem is because you think i haven't looked on here already?, well to answer that i can tell you i have tried multiple threads to try and sort this out but the download links that are there are dead links so i can't go any further.
All i want to know can this be sorted and if so could i get some up to date help or if the device no good, if so i can just throw it in the bin and stop wasting anymore time on it. thanks in advance,
just one answer please, that's all i'm asking!

Help!! My SGS2 is stuck on a screen with an orange triangle and excmamation mark between a cellphone and computer after a ROM flash attempt!
I can go to Downloading mode and Odin can detect my smartphone but i don't know what else to do...
Flash a full (different to whatever you were trying) ROM, problem solved.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yep, that's just a soft brick.
since you can access DL mode, just reflash with odin and normally problem solved
Haaa, thx all i fixed it! ^^
It took me 5 hours to find out what i had to do and find the stock Firmware tho...
But all fine now
Hello,
I've got the same problem but it seems I can't go into download mode. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
My SGS2 is not rooted and was on Android 2.3.3. Kies told me there was an update available to android 2.3.4 so I went for it.
But I'm really disappointed, now my phone is completety stuck on this screen with the phone...orange triangle with exclamation mark (warning)...PC.
EDIT : Samsung Kies proposes to do an emergency recovery, but in the end it also fails.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot before upgrading. See attachment.
Please help me.
kind regards,
Andrew

If your phone is not rooted, you still have your warranty, bring it back to the shop and ask for a new one
I bought it an amazon. But I'd prefer to have a solution right now instead of having to complain.
I continued my quest on the net... Apparently, a usb jig might take me out of this screen and back to the download mode. Can somebody confirm this?

One minus Did you follow the Kies recovery instructions .
One turn off and remove battery for a short period .
Two turn on
Three try recovery mode
Four try download mode ..
Five yes USB jig may enable you to get to download mode and from that you can flash a stock Samsung rom .
Six service centre

Thanks JJEgan. I'll try once more and let you know. Assuming that I am able to get in download mode, why should I use a stock kernel and not the normal firmware I had before? Sorry about my question, but this is all new for me.
A USB Jig should be standard equipment for anybody who flashes their Galaxy phone, IMO.

Download Odin, download stock ROM, use Windows Task Manager to kill any Kies-related processes. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash using Odin. Do not tick repartition and do not use the PIT file if the stock ROM comes with one.
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed to bring my SGS2 alive again step by step after that Kies broke it during the android upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4... Moreover, I am in the official 2.3.4 version now without using Kies!! ;-) Here's my story:
In the end, I was able leave the screen with the "phone..orange warning triangle..computer". and I was able to go in download mode without a usb jig. You have to press the 3 keys (volume down, home, and power on) quite a few seconds without releasing them. And then the download warning menu appears, press volume up to confirm that you want go go in download mode. And I was in "download mode'. Anyway, I will buy a jig ;-)
I tried once more the emergency recovery with samsung Kies without success. Failed.
Then with Odin I had problem. It was stuck at step "setup connection". Kies was not running and was not visible in the system tray. Though in the task manager, I still had 2 Kies* processes. Kiestrayagent.exe and another one starting with Kies and 4 letters (sorry I didn't write it down). I killed both processes. One step further... Then Odin was stuck on step complete(write) operation failed. Never found why. I tried several times, battery in and out again, without success. This was on a Win7 32bit. Latest Kies version.
In the end I installed Odin on another PC Win7 64bits. I had to install Kies also on it otherwise Win7 says "no driver found" when you plug in the usb cable of the SGS2. And on this computer, flashing with Odin worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all people who helped me + also thanks to this super forum where I could find the official firmware I needed after that Kies broke down my phone.

Simple solution:
Read the posts above!
"To err is human, to forgive is divine"
Sent from my SGS II
I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to my problem.
GT-I9100 (Sprint)
I hate to admit I am somewhat of a noob. But pretty good at following instructions. I tried to install ics using Odin.
PDA –—> I9100_CODE_I9100XXKPA_CL51925_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone –—> MODEM_I9100XXKPA_REV_02_CL1094591.tar.md5
CSC –—> GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXAKPA.tar.md5
The first instructions I read din't say to do the pit file. So I didn't. I have read later that I should have. The process failed. And when I restarted the phone I can only get to the download screen. When I try to get to recovery I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I also get the same message if I simply plug the usb into the phone while off, before any buttons are pushed.
Neither Kies or Odin recognize the phone anymore. I've tried different USB ports, a different computer. And I've hooked up a friends AT & T Galaxy S2 and it's recognized fine. Neither computer I've used even makes the beep when you hook up the phone.
The short is since it connected before the flash, and the other phone is showing I'm confident it's not PC related. But not being able to get anywhere besides the download screen has my hands tied to do anything else.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! And I have searched all over and can only find similar problems that turn out to be PC related.

Firstly... Being from Sprint... Are you 100% SURE that you have the GT-I9100? What does your device look like? Does it have a middle "hard button" at the bottom?
Product Name
It shows:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100
at the top of the download screen. There are the four buttons across the bottom. Not what I call physical buttons, because they don't move. I guess they would be called soft buttons below the screen.
You don't have an I9100 and are in the wrong forums.
Do you know what I have then?
Probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
But you might want to check under your battery before blindly flashing stuff for the wrong device.
open odin look that kies process is not runing on the background.
Try to boot your phone the message from firmware upgrade failed will come on the screen, when you're on this screen plug yor phone it will be recognized on odin, then leave it plugged in and shutdown the phone and get on download mode it will be recognized
last flash stock firmware complete i always use the XXKI3 with pit file, all of this if u phone is gt i9100
this was what i did, have the same problem in a bad flash of stock GB firmware (2 days ago) same screen and same problem, doing that (read it on a post somewhere) helped me
I was wrong. Its not the i9100. Its the galaxy s2 epic touch. Yeah.... Im kicking myself now. I did try what you said and it didnt work. I posted in the correct thread and was told im bricked.

aw that sucks! i guess you have to buy an usb jig now! Dont worry, its cheap and very usefull it also resets your flash counter
Can you point me in the direction of where to get a USB jig?
Just figured out what the USB jig does. Wont work for me. I cant take the phone back. I cancelled my plan with sprint. I use this phone as a second device. I may have to do JTag... But its going to be $50.
i was trying to flash ICS 4.0 firmware to my samsung s2 I9100G Malaysia just now... but failed..

Hi there
Check your usb connections please, one of the most common and unmentioned problems with ODIN is that it doesnt like being connected through hubs or non usb2 ports, i failed with odin quite a few times, until i disconnected my phone from the usb hub and connected it directly to the pc usb2 port, everything was fine after that.
Odin doesnt usually fail, what files are you flashing, is the firmware a 1 file package or multiple files with a .pit file??
If its 1 file, make sure you untick repartition.
Odin is solid, i would ask you to go away and check all the above, use odin 1.83 which is the best version i found, then try again, also check your lead, sometimes cheap usb leads are designed for charging and not syncing.
Good luck
---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------
also the black screen mode is because the flash failed, you need to re enter download mode, and reflash until you get a pass, if it fails again, check md5 sums or download a generic s2 firmware and try again, its not bricked dont worry, as long as you do it right it will be fine.
thank for ur info.
anyway to get the hell out of the black scren??..
i connot re-enter the download mode... keep stuck in the black screen with a phone connecting to a computer with a yellow triangle warning sign!..
Can u get into clockworkmod recovery?
Press Home+volume up+ power key until you get to cwm recovery.
And yes you probably connected your phone through a hub or usb1 port.
If nothing else works you'll need a jig to restart into download mode. Try and look for the jig thread on general sgs2 forum for free locations.
That's forced download mode I.E. it's forcing you to flash something. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware or Checkfus & flash it with Odin.
Absolutley these guys are right, even if your flash has failed you should still be able to enter download mode, are you sure you cant, VOLUME DOWN, MIDDLE BUTTON AND POWER BUTTON, keep them all held down and it will boot to DL Mode, every time mine got a fail i still got to dl mode no problem.
Failing that yer, get a jig, usually they come from singapore, so if you cant wait that long pop to an electronics store, buy the resistors you need and a micro usb plug and make one, i made one yesterday and it cost me £1.40 to make, although its a makeshift for emergencies, it will do until the one ive ordered arrives.
Keep trying dl mode, no reason to not get into it.

^This.
Also, OP, make sure you are flashing an I9100G firmware, and NOT an I9100 firmware. Likely that was the cause of your predicament in the first place, as that is the common cause of this screen being reached.
That sounds like a brick software, I get some like this time ago

tried to flash the phone from ODIN and failed, most probably he done it wrong. The only thing the phone does is displaying an icon in the middle of the screen with a phone and a PC and an exclamation point in between them. I can`t get it to enter in download mode (volume down+home+power) and I can`t start it eather. It just stays at that icon. Kies is not recognizing the phone although the drivers are installed. When I pluged the phone for the first time in the PC it automatically instaled 2 drivers and that was it. Is it bricked? I haven`t seen this before.
The phone is an SGS 2 model GT-I9100G, ssn I9100GGSMH.
I hav downloaded 2 official firmware, 2.3.6 and 4.0 .. all is Malaysia..
flash so many times and keep failing..

I have the same problem and if it was actually in download mode properly then why won't ODIN detect the device????????????????????
I am trying to get clockworkmod onto the device. And the phone does nothing else but show that screen no matter how many times I do button combos etc...

Depends on what you have already tried flashing since you originally got into this mess in the first place.
If you started blindly flashing stuff for any which device, it's possible you have borked your device to the point where your PC will no longer detect it.
Say, if you tried flashing a Fascinate ROM or similar to a Vibrant.
I'm just guessing that's what happened, because you started this thread in the Fascinate forum.
The Fascinate and the Vibrant are two completely different models of phones. The Fascinate is the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S, and is a CDMA phone. You have a Telus version of the Vibrant, which is a GSM phone.
So if you flashed something out of the Fascinate forum to your SGH-T959D Vibrant, you likely caused this issue yourself. And why are you in the I9100 forum trying to solve your problem?
Go to the Vibrant forum for your problem with your Vibrant phone.
Use Odin

Easy: Flash firmware through Odin on PC.
If you were already on 4.3, don't attempt to downgrade. If you weren't on 4.3 then you can follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241136 If you were on 4.3, then you will need this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2591898
Make sure you have the correct drivers. If you don't, download Samsung Kies to load them for you. Make sure you have some battery life too. Recommend 30%+, just in case.

What step during Odin did it stop? I had this the other day with my backup computer. Had no issues connecting to the phone and flashing recoveries and kernels, but it wouldn't flash the entire rom through Odin. Once I put it on my main computer with the same file and Odin version, it had no problem. But if it gets stuck on the check or before it even starts loading to the phone, then the issue at that point is not the phone (though you have an issue with that as well, obviously). Also recommend to try other ports, cords, or Odin versions if you don't have another PC available. If you have a desktop, the front ports don't always provide the best connection for these activities. If you have a laptop, switch back and forth between ports or if you have USB 2.0 and 3.0, try in each. It is ok to power off the phone while in Download mode or to unplug and replug as long as the actual firmware/software is not being written to the phone. Once it starts writing then you just gotta let it go.
