OK I was trying to flash an unlocked kernal via ODIN last night, something went wrong and now phone is stuck on the phone--!--computer screen. I cannot get past this screen. vol+home+power doesn't do anything but loop to the same screen.
It shows ODIN MODE in red at the top of the screen, but ODIn won't recognize the phone, nor will Kies (not running at the same time). Computer makes USB connected/disconnected sound when I plug and unplug the phone.
I have tried One-Click Unbrick, did not recognize that phone was connected.
Help!!
which model of Galaxy S2 do you have?

there''s currently nothing to flash this phone
it came out only 2 days ago
DEV are still working on finding root
so, the best suggestion is to take it back to the store and get it exchanged
or wait a few more days/weeks until a flashable release becomes available to fix the mistake
I know, I was hasty and now this. Even when there something available to flash, the device isn't being recognized by ODIN. Any troubleshooting help for this?
When I managed to get my Vibrant into that mode I could pull the battery, hold volume up, put the battery in, press and release power (still holding volume up) and it'd kick back into download mode everytime. Once in download mode I could plug the USB in and a running ODIN would see it pop up. If ODIN wasn't running and USB was already plugged in things wouldn't work right.
I haven't tried ODIN on the GS2 yet (I'll wait for a root ). I did find the vibrant nearly impossible to brick though... trust me I unexpectedly tried quite hard.
You might need the newest ODIN for GS2 support, and possibly newer drivers.

I'm a bit new to this, but a custom ROM shouldn't affect your recovery mode. Are you sure you are using the correct buttons and methods to boot recovery?
Might want to make a new thread instead of necroing something from when the phone was 2 days old.
I have GT I9100 and done the same thing and got the same result . stuck at setup connection with odin
Please Help
Go into device manager when is plugged in and if it says qhd-usb or something like that its a hard brick. What tipped me off was you said it makes two noises when you plug in. that's a tell tell sign your hard bricked

You should try to uninstall then reinstall driver, and try another usb port. In my experience, Odin seems to be picky, it only recognizes your phone if you plug it in the usb port that you used in the first time.

Recovery is accessed by holding both vol + and - while starting the phone. Hold them both while pressing the power button, then release the power button when it vibrates, keep holding the vol buttons till you see the recovery screen.

how can i get odin to read my device if my device is stuck in the screen mentioned and when i enter download mode through usb connecting, takes me to the warning screen!! but when i press volume up it doesnt go into the next step, it goes straight to the same screen that i mentioned. thanks for replying btw, your the only person thats helped me out since i started searching for help.
Did you try the button combo to get into download/odin mode? If so you need to get a usb jig to force it into download mode so you can flash back to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Same thing happened to me. Just have Odin open and ready to go, plug phone into DL mode just like normal, when the screen pops up give Odin a second or two and then you should see the com light up yellow as Odin recognise your device. Start the flash and let Odin do it's thing and it will reboot and all will be fine.

i can get into download mode by plugging usb while holding the vol up/vol down. but when it asks me to press vol up, it takes me to the same screen with "phone-!-PC".

im having the same issue with my phone. i googled around it saw ppl with the same issue, but when ppl fix their problem they didnt say how. i left a post on 3 of the threads (including 1 not on xda) but i havent received a response. i tried the hold the buttons method, the delete kies method, the just let odin flash a rom over but when odin gets to "cashe" it fails everytime. i hope i can find a fix, cuz ppl are having this problem and fixing there phone pretty quickly.

Try the second link in the second post. It worked for me. The post with the headline Odin Mode
if your screen has a pc and a warning symbol you still can odin,
open oding and conect your phone to pc while that screen you are saying pops up then see if odin recognizes..

My device is read by Odin and it flashes things. Once I flash a working rom though, it bootloops and I have no recovery to wipe data. I've never been able to get the repartition function to work
And the error I keep receiving every time almost is an error about line 1876. I have no idea what this is. I Googled it and I can't find it.
FWIW My phone would not go into download mode to save my life. I then decided to try the OE Samsung cable instead of the motorola cable I had been using and it worked right away.
Troubleshooting 101, start with the basics.
So I have the same problem as the OP. The only screen I boot to is mobile ! PC in Odin mode. This happened after I was rooted with my stock rom and CWM, but tried to do the OTA update from Kies.
My device is recognized by Odin utility, so I tried what the 2nd poster put and used Odin to flash the stock kernel (UVKID tar) from the PDA button and it failed. I used the default settings in Odin, but maybe I didn't set one right? I have attached a screen shot.
So now do I use Odin to flash the stock recovery? I'm working on making a USB jig in case that will help.
UPDATE: I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. Now it boots up like normal. I would like to try the OTA update through Kies again, but I'm worried. Any suggestions?

OK the somewhat hidden Firmware Recovery built into Kies is not to hard to find,
First you will need to write on a piece of paper your S/N and your Model #, the same way it is written under the battery on the sticker.
Second boot your phone into download mode and connect it to the computer.
Third open Kies, select the tools drop down menu.
Now you have a choice. Select Firmware Emergency Recovery to recover your current firmware version... or select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to install the latest OTA, either way just fallow the steps on screen and when done your will have a working phone.
hit the thanks button if this helped
Bro you should check the dates out xD thx anyway though

I first rooted my phone and then I attempted to download Ice Cream Sandwich on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy s2 4g Touch. During the download to my phone (using odin) my computer said that the update failed. My phone is saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." When I try to connect my phone to my computer, it will not detect it at all. And when I tried to put my phone in download mode, the upper left hand corner says Low Battery!! Can't Download in red letters (even when it is plugged into my computer). My LED light is also flashing blue. I just wanna restore my phone to factory settings or whatever I can do to make it work again. Thanks in advance for any help, it is really appreciated.

I got that message before and just knew I was screwed but I did some reading before panicking and these are the steps I took to recover from it.
Before you start pop out your sd card (hopefully you have an adapter or another device you can use to load stuff onto the card.
Put your phone on the wall charger for at least an hour to get some juice into the battery.
While the battery is charging go find a ROM you can flash via recovery as well as the el26 cwm kernel.
Then pop out your sd card and load the EL26 cwm kernel and ROM onto the sd card. (I would suggest maybe something from Calkulin or sfhub for ease)
Hold volume up + power to get into recovery mode, which you can still hopefully do.
Flash the el26cwm kernel and then the ROM.
Reboot
With any luck when you reboot your phone should come up.
Good luck.
It won't let me into recovery mode unfortunately.

Well that sucks. I'm unsure what else you can try.
I assume you've pulled the battery then tried to go into recovery and/or Odin?
Have you tried other cables, usb ports or computers? Re-downloaded the drivers?
Sounds like u tried to Odin the international ICS. U will need to look into jtag service or having the device replaced via TEP, insurance or a warranty replacement. Like fryingpan said you should have done more research before trying to install custom firmware.
We are legion, for we are many.
you might be able to fix it with jtag

DID you CHARGED IT for at least AN HOUR as Eso recommend you? if not then plug it in to a wall and wait then try download mode again because is telling you NO BATTERY NO JUICE available. 20 minutes is not enough to get some juice to perform an ODIN Flash.
So it seems that ODIN can only recognize my phone if the phone is powered on and running but will not recognize it in download mode. I am using the same cables I have used in the past as well as the same computer running Windows 7. Running stock ICS FH13 Unrooted and trying to root but cannot because once I enter download mode, ODIN stops seeing the device. Have tried re installing drivers many times and all USB ports on the computer with different USB cables. Hoping that somebody has a suggestion for getting the phone to be recognized in download mode for me.

Is usb debugging checked
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes debugging is checked.
Some more information. Turns out the phone (originally my friend's) needed to be taken in for service and when he did this he read somewhere about the USB jig to remove the custom binary counter. When he did this he flashed a gingerbread bootloader to use the jig. Only thing is, he didn't ask me for help (I've usually helped him out with this stuff in the past) and I think he flashed an international version of the bootloader. Reason being when I boot the phone it says Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100 where it should not have that last part. I remember reading somewhere about this and how it happened to somebody but they had CWM recovery and flashed a special zip. I do not have this option because of the stock recovery and unrooted ROM. Just wondering if there is anything that can be done to reverse this. I can run the phone and use it still but would rather root it and continue the way I have always done with my past phones.

Does it have the yellow triangle when you see that? My phone shows that when I have the triangle.
No yellow triangle.
Mine has said gti9100 before. Don't remember what I flashed. Think it was a leak through mobile odin. So you may or may not be screwed...

Hoping not but this is stock FH13. Did not flash anything and my computer/ODIN does not recognize my phone being plugged in when in download mode...

Do u put your phone in download mode then hit volume up then connect to usb?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yes, I go from full power off with USB unplugged and press and hold the power and vol down keys until I get the warning screen. I then hit vol up to continue and then plug in my phone to the computer.
With further research seems as though I am hosed. In download mode it lists my device as "product name: GT-i9100" where it should say "product name: SPH-D710" Still hoping someone can save me so I'm not stuck on stock but seems as though this device had a international phone's bootloader flashed onto it.

Thats the problem i couldnt help u there but u can try installing the drivers u need
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You could get Mobile Odin and flash using that. There's a lite option that will let you flash Agat's kernel and then you can go from there.
Don't be afraid to be the bringer of bad news here. Here's what I did: I wanted to clear some space and start from scratch on my S3 (d2usc), so I wiped and used odin to go back to the stock 4.1 firmware. I updated OTA to 4.3 then I flashed CWM touch. From recovery I flashed SuperSU and the most recent CM11 nightly along with gapps. It was running perfect at this point. I made a backup and that's when I decided I was pro enough to flash a custom kernel in recovery. Specifically this one. Which I'm sure is a nice kernel, if only it was made for my device *facepalm* So now it won't turn on and I can't get into download mode or recovery. When I plug in to my PC Windows doesn't recognize it. I can hear the "plugged in" sound, but it sounds sort of laggy. When I unplug it I get the normal "unplugged" sound, but the screen stays black no matter what. I also get a red LED when plugged in without a battery. I'm thinking my only option might be a USB jig, but I really have no idea if that will work in this situation. So what do you guys think? Is it done for or salvageable?
Have you tried download mode? Volume up and power and home buttons at the same time. If you can get into download mode, your not bricked. Only option if download mode works, is to find a tar file, which flashes every partition of the phone. You must know how to use ODIN to flash a tar file though.
