There are several threads about sa vs gt and whether there are three versions etc.
Is anyone a model expert?
When my phone boots I get a gt I9100 splash (w yellow triangle - on fc18).
However once booted I go to about phone and it says sph-d710. A mod at Android Central said these are two different phones. What gives?
What are the SGS2 models? Difference?
I believe I9100 is the generic model number for all galaxy S2's but yes both are different phones. I9100 is generally referred as the original international galaxy s2

The gt-i9100 is the GSM international sgs2 the sph-d710 is the sprint epic 4g touch galaxy s2, they are 2 completely different devices in the same family. Your splash screen is like that from flashing a rom and increasing your download count thru Odin

Ok so I have a sph-d710 and the splash screen saying gt i9100 is just an image baked into the rom I flashed.
(And of course the yellow triangle is the increase my odin count. ): )
Good to know I might have flashed a wrong rom in the future for 9100.
The splash screen trips with the Odin count for some reason Idk what causes it I haven't gotten it yet but if you have a USB jig it will get rid of the gt i9100 splash, yellow triangle and reset the Odin count to 0

it trips it when u flash a modified kernel. ex: acs, repack, cwm. U can easily reset it with Triangle away, but it only works on ics roms

It only trips when.flashing thru Odin? Cuz i flashed a kernel in recovery and it hasn't shown up, I actually was kind of curious why my counter or the.triangle hasn't popped on me yet cuz I'm not real careful about preventing it, cuz i made a jig plus most damage to the device I can repair myself so I dont have insurance or TEP on it

That is correct, yellow triangle and ODIN Flash Count only increase when ODIN flashing a kernel not signed by samsung.
Auto Root, Mobile ODIN, and CWM do not trigger the yellow triangle nor do the increase the flash count.

Cool I was wondering why it hadn't triggered the only things I've flashed in Odin are your pimp ass oneclicks talk about making life easy, last Sammy I had was the intercept and it had a patched swupdater we had to use to root and restore and that thing sucked

It should work just fine. They are the same phone except the international version doesn't support 4g. The "guts" are the same.

Thanks!
I appreciate it man, thanks for the help!
They are not the same... The screen will not fit. The dimensions are a bit different.
The international version also has a physical home button. The screen will not work.

Made a horrible mistake and accidentally put an i9100 tar through Odin on this Epic Touch. Now, no connection through USB, home button not working, menu button not working, no cellular, and wifi not working.
Any way to bring this back to life?

If you can't get into download mode manually a USB jig is probably your last chance....but then you're fine.
i wonder if that was my issue. When i boot the phone up with the yellow Triangle it says Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100
does that mean i used the wrong tar??

No, that happens if you use any kernel that isn't the shipped stock kernel. Clear that with a USB jig.
I can fix it.
Shoot me a pm if you have any questions. Long story short is an I9100 sbl disables the SPH-D710 USB controller. I will use JTAG to rewrite the correct sbl to your phone.

Do you know it was an i9100 tar? Cus that splash screen is easily cleared, without a USB jig, and only means you've flashed an unofficial kernel. Are you able to go into Odin mode?

Not if I9100 bootloaders were flashed.

OK so here is the story...
I accidentally flashed the 2.3.5 firmware for the Samsung gs2 i9100 thinking it was for the sph-d710... Obviously that didn't work out very well. Now the phone won't boot. I can get it into download mode but odin will no longer recognize it. I have tried the i9100 drivers, and the sph-d710 drivers. No luck, it will boot into recovery mode also, but unfortunately because the firmware is for the i9100 which has an "ok" button and the sph-d710 doesn't I can't get it to do a hard reset. Short of dropping it in a bucket of water and using insurance is there anything I can do?
Yes I know I am a moron...
Well as for the ok button, have you tried using the home button instead? And have you ever used Odin before?

Boots into recovery mode only, but i cant select anything
ET4G
I did the exact thing as you did. The only difference is that I unplugged the USB connection which caused my phone to brick completely. The moment I realized I was using the wrong firmware I disconnected my ET4G. My phone was useless, I couldn’t boot up in Odin or recovery. What I did I took it to the Sprint store and I told them that I did not know what happened to the phone and they replaced my phone for free.
Honestly, I've flashed i9000 before and I'm sorry to say but youre screwed. Send it in to mobile tech videos for jtag repair. mine wouldn't boot or recognize at all for weeks untilI finally gave up.

what usb data cable are you using? not the one it came with right? did you pull the battery out and leave it off for a few minutes? taking the battery off sometimes helps. completely clears everything.
Color implies disconnection from process. If you are using the stock cable I would get a new one...many have issues with it

Actual phone. Saw green the other day. The link I gave says it can be any color. In my case odin did not flinch and hung at my usual spot.

A different one the the one you have been using to start with. I have personally had no issues in the short time prior to losing mine but there are enough posts on here to show that those cables have been a source of many flashers whoas.
Plus it has to be the thinest damn usb cable I have ever touched.

Not to sound rude, but you obviously did not do "a ton of research", as you would have read that GSM, Verizon and Sprint images are not compatible with the other devices.
You have no other option but Odin when you see the screen you are referring to. Try it again.

but my computer isnt reading the phone like it wasnt even connected
and i just want to kno step by step what i need to download and what i need to do to fix it.
It looks like your friend tried to flash an international ROM to it... In that case, only Jtag can fix it. Mobiletechvideos will be able to help.

First. Are you 100% sure that what you have is the Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4g Touch?
Second. JTAG is a way to recover hard bricked devices. It involves taking the device completely apart and flashing the stock firmware directly to the phone through the JTAG pads on the motherboard.

Check them out. They do great work and offer a ton of services. There turn around time is great as well. They can even root and flash any ROM you like.

i think because when it used to work i connected to my bluetooth radio and it always said epic 4g touch so i thought it was one unless its not im not really sure
That would be proof that it is. I am afraid that your friend screwed the pooch. That device is only compatible with root methods and ROMs specifically made for it. Any other galaxy S2 ROM or root method results in the very least a boot loop and at worst a complete brick. You are stuck in between and require a JTAG.
