[Q] ODIN back to stock now.. nothing

I was following the forum below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321811
to get my rooted stock Tmobile Galaxy S2 back to un-rooted stock so i could update to the OTA update as i need the wifi.
Upon following the first ODIN command i got a failed and so i unpluged the phone and tried to re-ODIN and all it would do is stay at connecing or something similar.
I pulled the battery and tried to enter download mode again and I am unable to turn the phone on or enter download mode.
Ideas?
when i change the usb cable to a different plug on PC the PC then will attempt to install driver but the phone never show the download screen and the PC says unalbe to install driver.

Does it try to install the Samsung drivers or qualcom modem drivers?

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?

Does your computer even recognize your device? I had an issue with mine where the USB port crapped out and I had to get a warranty replacement.

[Q] Can't turn on my S3 any more NEED HELP!!

Hi all, I was trying to uninstall some of the softwares from my S3, I uninstalled some of them, those are some tmobile softwares. But I soon found out when I restarted my phone it just stuck at the "samsung" logo.I tried to install a rom to resolve the problem but odin just kept showing that "FAIL". I reinstall a clockworkmod.tar by using odin( I don't know why I did that...><). But when it finished and restarted again it could no long turn on again. Can anyone help me with this problem? I just bought the phone yesterday and I already went to exchange for a new one couple hours ago, no sure tmobile would let me exchange it again. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Can u get into download or recovery mode?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Try pulling the battery and put it back in. Then try to boot download mode.
What rom did you try to flash? Where did you get the cwm.tar file you used?
Plug into the computer and check in device manager. Does it see anything?
If it says QHSUSB_DLOAD then I'm afraid your bricked.

[Q] CWM problem please help!

I was running cyanogenmod 9 on my phone when I looked into rom manager, I realized that there was a new version available (6.0.2.7) so I installed it via rom manager. A few days later i found that a stable version of cyanogenmod 10 was available so i put the zip file on my phone and followed the instructions to flash it. I did a darkside superwipe and everything. Then i went to boot my phone and it was stuck on the boot animation for 30 minutes, i scrolled down the page to find a comment from a person having the same issue, he said that to fix it he just pulled the battery out of his phone, put it back in and booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cache wipe and fixed permissions, then booted and it worked. I decided to try, so I booted recovery and tried to do a factory reset, clockworkmod froze. I tried it again, and it froze again. I then tried to clear the cache, clockworkmod froze. I tried to do a darkside superwipe, clockworkmod froze. No matter what I try to install clockworkmod will freeze. Has anybody on here had this problem, or know how to fix it? Or maybe know how to downgrade clockworkmod without being able to actually use the phone?

First off, don't use the Superwipe script on anything other than CWM 5.0.X. It'll cause a boot loop and ruin your recovery. I think your best bet is to boot into download mode and flash a recovery using Odin.

I just discovered that I can't get into download mode either.

Have you ever tried to reset your phone through kies? If not give it a try. Open kies on your computer then go to tools and click on upgrade and initialize. It will ask you to enter your device model, then the s/n number and just follow the instructions from kies. Let me know if that works for you

Good idea, but my phone won't actually get passed the boot animation, so Kies can't recognize it.

Yeah mine was doing the same, can you get it in download mode?

I tell you what, plug your phone to the computer and press volume up down and power it should get you in download mode then try to do the above trick
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

If you can still get back to CWM recovery mode, you can use adb from a PC to reboot it into download by
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot download
After that you should be able to use Odin to push anything you need to (or Kies *should* work when it's in download mode, it's been a while since I've used it for anything)

Yes just figured out to get my phone in download you have to just hold the down volume button, then put in the usb cable. Rather then holding both up and down.

Just to let you you don't need kies to recognize your device to do that.

Just retried and it started, but then I got a notice with a bunch of Chinese writing, then the upgrade shutdown.

Well sorry to hear that. I would recommend to go galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick, I used that the last time my bricks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

If you can get to download, you can try Odin to push a new recovery image. If you get CWM back up and running, you can use various adb spells and have a pretty good chance to get your phone back into working condition.

Let us know how things going. We will try to get your phone back to working condition.

alright so, heres where I am: the whole kies thing didn't work, so I tried to flash a new recovery through odin, it failed and now my phone is on a message that looks like the download screen, but instead of "downloading" it says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

May be try kies again. I also post a web site to check I used it the last time my phone bricked. If you didn't see it here it is galaxys2root.com and look for how to unbrick. It worked for me.

Figured out that the screen I was seeing is still download mode, and odin still recognizes my phone. Found on the website that if I try to flash the stock firmware via odin, it should unbrick/ unroot the phone. When I tried to flash through odin it got stuck on the boot.img process and wont load any further. I tried kies again and still had the same problem.

Sorry to here that. In the meanwhile, I will do some research, will let you know.

alright thanks man, i'm going to come up with a good story to tell Samsung to get it warrantied lol, any ideas?

Yeah man that sounds like a good plan. Tell them your phone wasn't acting like it used to so you went on kies trying to upgrade / initialize in hope that it will work but it damages your phone with some chinese or korean dialog box that you didn't unstand

Maybe Bricked phone

after installing Ubuntu on my phone, I'm stuck on this ROM because I have no other android ROM in my phone even though I have always access my recovery mode and download mode but I'm stuck anyway. I tried to flash my phone ave Odin closes by saying that it responds more and here I do not know how to copy a rom on my PC since I have more access to USB debug and I no access to copy from my PC.

Not needed here, OP should be able to recover/push a ROM to /sdcard/ through ADB/custom recovery.
@OP, this has been answered many times before. RTFM.
