You're doing something wrong. I don't know exactly what, but this is a very simple process. Is the phone even in dl mode, or what?

Download mode is usually when you hold the volume + and - button right? Then you press + to continue and you'll reach to the page where the android dude is at.

Yes i did and also the kies thingy.

Let me see if I can help!
After you put your phone into download mode and then plug it into the pc is Odin already running?
And once its plugged in do you at least see it in COMM?
Also are you flashing the recovery first or are you trying to install the root through odin?
Have you already got cwm recovery on the phone?

[Q] My Phone is Dead because of ROM Manager. What should i do next?

Oke for the first time in my life, my Galaxy Gio cant come back to life and cant survive from the bootloop
Sorry if you're tired see thread like this, i know i just stupid one, Installing ROM Manager without care about the risk
So what should i do to fix my Galaxy Gio from dead? Send it on Samsung Center? No its expensive!
JTAG Box is hard to find in Indonesia (Yeah im Indonesian) so it cant be solution
I really appreciate if you want to help me

The only working way is the service center, on what I've read, everyone has got their gio repaired for free.
If it really IS expensive, you have to take the cheapest option, which is either buying a new gio or having it repaired at a cost

[SOLVED!!] Accidentally flashed GT-i9100 bootloader...

Like an IDIOT I accidentally Odin'd the international (GT-i9100) bootloader over the stock/rooted FH13. The phone works but in download mode Odin does not recognize. I've tried everything I could read others have tried (drivers, etc) but no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions or am I out of the Odin business permanently?
Thanks.

I remember hearing of someone else doing this before as well and I think I remember the only thing they could do was send it off to have the flash reprogrammed via jtag. My suggestion is find a rom you like. Flash it and stay put. Can't risk a soft brick.

If I recall correctly times_infinity posted how to flash the bootloader using adb / terminal, but don't quote me on that.

Doesn't the international boot loader make the USB port on our phone not work anymore? Which is why when you go to Odin mode, a computer won't recognize it? That's what I remember

Even if usb wasn't working you should be able to copy the bootloader into the phone and run a terminal emulator to run the command from the phone. But there is a how to specifically for this issue somewhere.

That post might have it with the instructions. I don't know for sure what it says. But you can grab an Odin tar and extract the bootloader out of it.

I'd love to but have no idea how to. Remember I'm the idiot that installed the wrong bootloader! I was even able to restore my nandroid but that didn't change the bootloader version.

I am trying to do this from the phone or I would be more help. Search our forum for sgs2 bootloader or flashed wrong bootloader or something and see if you can find the thread on this issue.

Ok try this. If your computer can see the phone booted up there its no reason why download shouldn't see it. Uninstall your drivers. Download the drivers from Samsung again. Install them. Put your phone in download mode. Connect to pc. Let drivers get loaded completely. Unplug phone from pc. Plug phone back to pc. Open Odin. See if it gives you a com port. Report back the result.

Thanks. I've tried this but when I'm in download mode my phone is not recognized at all (by neither the computer nor Odin).

I was mistake this was about the kernel, not the boot loader. Regardless here's the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29843206&postcount=23

Then you might be out of luck. I am not sure you can fix it without Odin. Here is a bootloader if you get Odin working. If you didn't try all of the steps I posted please do it again. Also switch cables even though it works for other functions.

Thanks. Yes, I found that. I've been reading about this all day and I think I can safely say that I am not going to be able to undo this without sending my phone for the Jtag. Luckily My phone still operates normally, I just won't be able to flash anything by Odin and when my phone boots it says it's a GT-i9100. I did find a good thread about this for anyone else in the same boat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816931&highlight=wrong+bootloader
In the end, this is what I get for getting careless. Totally my fault.

Wouldn't flashing the whole thing with Mobile ODIN work?
I mean a whole .tar ROM

Bricked? Think I flashed the wrong boot image

I believe I flashed the wrong boot image in odin. my sprint epic4g touch is now giving me a yellow triangle with gt-9i100 model number displaying. i have tried all the triangle removal threads but nothing helps. I think I need to send it off to the JIG folks who do the $50 repair. Thoughts?

yes, it boots to the yellow triangle screen only. no further. Problem is it is recognized in odin at that screen, and not in the typical odin download mode screen.

Wait for someone else to see this thread. I don't want to ask you to do something that might damage the device more.
But it is strange. I am really curious to see what would happen if odin restore is started when phone is recognized at that triangle screen.

Since Odin picks up the phone see if adb will recognize the phone.
Also try kies. The emergency recovery or firmware update thing. Can't remember exactly what it is called.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

If it's the wrong bootloader I think Kies will recognize it as the international version. Emergency recovery wouldn't work.

I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.
- Phone boots up
- Boot animation displays
- Freezes on 'Android' Screen
- Does not go into Recovery
- Does not go into Download mode
- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)
- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'

How'd you do that? I might have the same situation.

to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot
