Hey,
I decided last night I would try and backup my phone, however Kies thought it would be fun to start updating, and somehow it locked up. Now I get a message on my phone that says :-
Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Now I have done what it says however everytime i connect it up i get a message saying "USB Device Not Recognised"
I have downloaded the drivers, with no such luck, and tried installing them via Kies again with no joy. Reading on the forum I found out about the recovery mode which I have manage to get the phone into and downloaded what I thought was the right thing but it's not working at all.
I think what Ideally i need is a way to get the phone back to a working version, I just have no idea how to do it. I have downloaded Odin as that seems to be a program that every page says.
Not sure if you need the information but it was on 3G UK network.
Sorry this probably sounds extremely noob like but I've spent 10 hours on it already and am confused beyond imagination
Kies is one of them horrible programs that just doesnt work properly.
as you have read about Odin, i will assume you know you can use this to flash a stock firmware to your phone.
Have a look for intratechs thread of offical firmwares (linked below), download one for your phone and flash it via odin.
Please read the top information in his thread it tells you what to do and how to do it.

How do i resolve the other issue of windows not recognizing it ?
put the phone in download mode and pc should recognize the phone
If we're talking about a phone running stock firmware that you've never mucked around with (rooted it, run non-stock firmware on it, etc, etc), send it in to Samsung/whomever you bought it from for warranty service.'
If you start flashing things in order to try & fix it, you run the slight risk you might brick it/void your warranty. Which means you end up paying to get it fixed.
I wouldn't tempt fate if I were in your situation.
If we're talking about a phone you've been mucking around with (like most of us here ), then go to Samfirmware.com & search for the original firmware that came with your phone & flash it following whatever instructions they have for flashing firmware downloaded from their site.
Alternatively, if you're happy with the latest firmware available for your phone model/carrier/country, find/download the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here/Google). This will allow you to download a tarball of the latest available firmware for your carrier/country, which you can flash according to the instructions here.
Also, before you do anything, try a factory reset if you haven't already.
1.Find your new firmware version and download the file from the links
2.Extract the file, so that you now have a .tar file.
3.Download and run the Odin software from the provided link (200KB)
4.Reboot the phone to download mode
To do this, turn the phone off, then simultaneously press the volume down key, the home button and then press the power button. If you see a warning, press the volume up button to continue.
5.In Odin, click the button named “PDA” and select your .tar file (your rom).
If the rom has several files, also put in the PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC files. but do NOT put in a .pit file.
6.Connect the phone to the computer with usb cable, and wait till ID:COM turns yellow.
7.Click the “Start” button, and Odin will flash your rom.
As simple as that.
I have the files however CANNOT get windows to detect the phone....it simply refuses every single time.
All i get is USB Device Not Recognised
Which i get after holding down, Power, Vol Down and Menu till i get the download screen. Occassionally (VERY RARELY) it has been detected by odin then fails on factory

Are you plugged directly into a port on the PC, and not through a keyboard pass-through port, or a USB hub? Or have you tried a different cable?
Ok guys,
I have got it to the point it is able to flash now. Problem is I have some dodgy yellow ! and it wont go any further than that.
How do I get rid of that and get back to bog standard everything, I have used CheckFus and downloaded the firmware but it wont get rid of the !

Gonna need a little more detail than that. Yellow triangle at boot under where it says "Samsung Galaxy SII"? It's not really clear.

Don't worry )
I have fixed it and am back to being on default software with no problems at all
Thanks for all the help on this forum
Ok before something goes wrong and start become crazy asking for help to fix my sgs2, i have read the necessary info (i guess) to do it by myself , I have this backup files
1- Nand backup (when i first rooted, i made this in CWM, CF-Root CWM5)
2- Stock rom/firmware 1 file (from sammobile.com exact the same carrier PDA,CSC,Modem)
3- EFS backup 2 files (with HC-kTool, i dont know in which case use it)
So in the case i install "x" numbers of roms and kernels or if i brick the phone and want to go back to its brand new state or recover the phone, which is the best procedure? Obviously depends on the symptoms but, are this the options i have in base of my backup files???? :
1-Go in to CWM and use Odin to flash the stock Rom
2-Go in to Recovery mode and use the nand backup
3-Use a jig to go to CWM and use Odin to flash the stock Rom
I get a little confuse with the backups files i have, because nobody seems to use the nand backup, also i have read
[GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII from Pistachio
So could you just tell me if im right or wrong, i just have the root and i want to be sure to start installing roms

It depends on the kind of brick.
If your phone doesn't work very well, some apps have forced closes, the phone crashes and reboots several times ... this is not a brick.
In these cases, you can flash a kernel containing CWM recovery (or you have already CWM recovery), and restore the nandroid backup => done!
If your phone does not boot normally into Android OS, but you still can enter recovery and download mode, then it is called soft-brick.
This can be solved by the description you already have read.
If your phone does not boot at all - not normally into Android OS, neither in recovery nor in download mode, this is called hard-brick.
In this case, it is very difficult and sometimes not possible to solve this issue.
Fortunately, there are only few scenarios which will lead to such a hard-brick.
E.g. flashing a wrong pit file with re-partition option enabled in Odin, interruption of the flashing process at the "wrong" moment, EMMC bug after wiping with a "bad" custom kernel and hardware defects.
So, nandorid backup is a very good and useful idea. And I already had to use my nandroid backups after flashing into "unstable" states.
EFS backup is good for being on the safe side. When something has deleted your EFS data (IMEI, etc.), you can restore this information. But I never had to use my EFS backup so far.
Just to correct your list:
1-Go in to download mode and use Odin to flash the stock Rom
2-Go in to Recovery mode and use the nand backup
3-Use a jig to go to download mode and use Odin to flash the stock Rom
To boot into download mode, just press Volume Down + Home + Power buttons for some time, then confirm with Volume UP, and you are in download mode. (You do not need a Jig for that.)
To boot into recovery mode, press Volume UP + Home + Power buttons as long as recovery menu appears. Can take several seconds.

My phone is hard bricked after trying to install S-Voice. I can't get into Recovery by holding Vol Up/Down and Power Buttons. I can get into Download mode, but when I get there, I'm unclear what to do. I get the screen that says Odin Mode and Downloading...Do not turn off target!!
I let it sit, but nothing happens. What do I do then?
Can you provide more detail on how to unbrick using Download mode? And also about jigs?
Many thanks.

You will need: kies downloaded on your PC, a recent copy of Odin software and a copy of the firmware you want to put on (can be found on samobile)
Make sure (through your task manager) that Samsung kies is not running and start Odin. Put the .tar file (extracted from firmware zip) into pda section, you shouldn't need to mess with anything else, just check that re-partition isn't checked.
Put your phone into download mode and Plug it in. Odin should see your phone and give you a little yellow square, which is the go ahead to start the process if you don't get this yellow square, you may have problems. If you have a USB jig, use that to get into download mode but if you had updated to ICS it may not work

Don't have a jig, but can order one if necessary.
I'm running Mystic's Glory ICS.
Hope that helps.
It's likely it won't work mate but maybe give it a whirl. This happened to me and believe me I bugged so many people online and read up on so many possible fixes but in the end I had to send it back to Samsung, I was lucky that I had reset the counters (using my USB jig) and they fixed it for free under warranty. It may be worth getting the jig if only to do that (if it works)

First uninstall kies.
Then download and install kies again so that you have the latest drivers.
Make sure kies trayagent isn't running so kill it in the taskmanager.
Start odin
Put your sgs ii into dowload mode.
Then and not before you did the above connect the sgs ii to the pc.
If odin doesn't say added, try a different usb port.
Hope this helps.

I appreciate your taking the time, but I tried so many different ways to unbrick my phone that I finally mailed it to Mobile Tech Video for repairs for $56.
Please please please could anyone help!
About a month ago I upgraded to Ice cream sandwich (LP7) and then rooted my S2. All worked fine for 3 or 4 days and then suddenly it crashed for no reason. I suspect, but am not sure, that it did an automatic update. On rebooting it just stops at the Samsung S2 screen with a yellow triangle.
For the last few weeks i have been trying to find a fix, but am at my wits end now.
I have gone through the different solutions on your site but to no avail also where mine seems to be different is that I can get into boot mode and odin always says its successful. I have tried different pc and usb cable too just in case that was an issue
I can not get into Volume up mode, but i can get into boot mode with volume down. I have tried re loading a few different rom's and Odin says that the transfer was successful each time, however it is still stuck at the same place on reboot.
Tried reloading kernel and re partitioning, and again Odin said it went OK, but still stuck on start screen.
Tried using a jig and turned phone on, but it the phone just went to the start screen again.
If i could just get into reset mode, i could clear the memory, but this is not working either.
If anyone could help i would be very so grateful.
Thanks

I think I left it plugged into the USB, powered it down until I saw the charging screen, then I proceeded to play with the different ways to hold the buttons to get it to download mode. If you are persistent enough and read a little on booting methods to get bricked phone into download mode you will succed if not then your not for the world of trial and error... the main thing is do the first steps I said before until it works
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
or try
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
any how try try try until it works
Once in download mode
Get your files together for your phone, and use Odin 1.85.
Plug into Odin and make sure it shows yellow and its added!
1. Now if your files have like 3 files and the exact .pit file for your phone if available.
I found mine here (Find yous stock firmware for your phone)
CLICK HERE
2. Click the PIT button and browse to your exact .pit file for your phone *It should now have added a check in the re-partition box under the options area of the Odin window. If not CHECK IT!
***If you don't have your .pit don't worry about this unless you suspect, or have a bad partition
3. If you have just 1 file just click the PDA button and load the file. If you have 3 then you will load the PDA file in PDA, the Modem file into PHONE, and the CSC file into CSC, there are way too many phones to link all the files so get you stuff together!
4. Now hit start.
5. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
6. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
7. As soon as the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever let go of all buttons and using the Vol Up down Choose the Clear Cache option and go through and make sure you factory reset it if you can just for good measure.
8. Reboot
9. Now when the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever take out battery again to power off
10. Now put it back in and start it in Download mode by pressing Vol Down, Home at the same time then the Power button.
11. Once in download mode Hook up to Odin again and flash it with a root kernel for your phone. Do not ask me just find it. I did it took time but I got all the files together over several days of reading and collecting the correct ones.
12. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
13. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
14. In most roots you will now have a advanced or mounting options and more options to use.
15. I cleared the Cache again, Cleared the Davilik Cache, Went into a option and actually mounted the cache formatted the Cache.
16. Use the option now to restart the phone...
And mine started up installed the apps and I am up and running, nice and smooth and no issues so far
I hope this helps out someone whos just about to go off the deep end, as I was there and patience and trial and error came up with this step by step way to recover mine. Thank me by hitting the little thumbs up THANKS button below this post.
And if your so happy your phone is up show your appreciation by buying me a Pepsi

Can you get into recovery mode (power off hold power, home, volume up at the same time) or download firmware mode? (same thing except you hold volume down instead of volume up.)

I hear rumors you can force yourself into download mode by taking out the battery, holding power, home, and volume down and keep holding them while inserting the battery. Try that and tell me what happens. If you get into download mode then I'll tell you the next steps. If not please provide more detail on what exactly happens.

You'll have to search the internet for a stock ROM for your exact model. (Finding ROMs can be hard but I suggest you start with searching this website first. Theres a lot of forums here were people leak ROMs) You'll know you have the right one when it's a compressed file that contains 4 files that begin with the prefixes BL, AP, CP, and CSC. Once you have the ROM you'll need a windows computer and download odin 3.09. Once Odin is downloaded, run it as administrator. Click the AP button and put the AP file in, click the CP button and put the CP file in, and, click the CSC button and put the CSC file in. (Leave the BL one alone, thats only for special circumstances.). Make sure only the checkboxes auto reboot and F reset time are marked. Then put your phone in download mode, plug it in, make sure the console in odin says "added", and click the start button in OdIn and wait until your phone reboots and your phone will be back the way it was out of the factory. (Note: Won't reset Knox.)

I've downloaded a bunch of ROM (no idea which is for my exact model), flashed everyone of them and nothing works. Odin tells me a lot of times "no Pit-partition". When I get into download mode... PRODUCT NAME: (nothing there), CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official, SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Is this phone dead until the Second Coming or is it possible to resurrect it before that..? Any ideas...? :fingers-crossed: Thanks..!

In that case, you may need to find a .pit file for your phone and put it in the pit slot along with the AP, CP, and CSC and check the option re-partition along with the auto reboot and f. reset time. Make sure ODIN is ran as administrator when doing this. Proceed with extreme caution when doing this. I am not responsible for anything that happens.

Hi, I've done that with several ROM's to no avail. How would I know which ROM is the right one other than just prefixes..? Also, many times when I try via Odin I get a No PIT partition from Odin. I'm lost...
My Samsung is Stuck on the splash screen and does not move!
Ive tried downloading a stock 5.1.1 rom to flash but whenever i extract it i get a .cpgz file instead of a .tar.mp5 file.
What is going on and how can i fix my phone! P.S I only have access to Jodin3 Casual as i only have a Mac computer.
go to samsung-updates.com and search for your model...download it and flash it....but first, you can boot into recovery and do a factory reset. press volume down and power, when the screen goes off...quickly press volume up,home buttom and power to boot into recovery.

look on samfirm. download stock firmware for your device model. this will be an MD5 file. enter download mode (vol down, home and power button )flash it with odin.
if this doesn't work try to do emergency software upgrade via smart switch.
1st option should work but you need odin 3.10. a windows pc will be best.
