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.

i tryed this but still odin does not recognize my phone. (no yellow box shows up)
Hi all,
I tried updating my galaxy s2 with ICS with Odin, but it failed. Now i get nothing but this message: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
The problem is that neither Kies or Odin will recognize the phone. It will not go into download mode using the traditional method of holding volume down + power. My PC also does not detect the phone.
Is it dead?! I've tried reading, but no one seems to have absolutely no access to their phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
As always, uninstall kies then install it again.If you did flash stock ics and you have sd card, put siyah kernel ( as I think it is signed) and almost any rom there, put sd card to phone and try to boot into recovery ( power+home+ vol up) then install siyah, reboot and hold same keys and install the rom you downloaded

Mak: Thanks for the suggestions.
I uninstalled and then installed Kies. Neither Kies nor my PC detects the phone. I tried another computer and do not get detection there either.
I cannot get into recovery (volume up + power + home) or into download (vol down + pwr).
I do not have an SD card, unfortunately.
What else can I try?!
Then you need jig to get your phone working again.

hi
do you used intratech firmwares or from other sources?
so i realized that I tried to flash the wrong fw. my phone is the epic 4g touch for sprint. i tried to put ics on there.
how likely is it that the jig will work? i will order it if it is meant to address the problem i'm having. even with the jig putting my phone into download mode, how can i load anything if my computer will not recognize the phone?
i might have just bricked the phone. how likely is it that the sprint store will try to fix it for me?
Wrong forum. Ask here.
If they notice what you did to it, you'll be paying for it to be fixed. Maybe. You might also be lucky. Jig won't work, nand is borked. Return to service center or JTAG repair.
I think you're right. I'll try to get lucky at the sprint store tomorrow. If no luck, then on to a JTAG'er (any recommendations?).
The link you posted is for epic 4g, not epic 4g touch. I know, confusing. Probably why I'm having this issue to begin with.
Thanks again for the help!
Odia does jtag's and he seems to be pretty good at it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Yep Makrilli is right, Odia is a good choice. Or these guys. Haven't used them, but people on XDA have.
I got this message before, too. It happened when I plugged in to the bad cord I had. Odin recognized it until it was in the middle of flashing. Are you sure it won't go back to Odin? Mine did. I'm using it now. I don't think a jtag is what you need, unless you want to give them a really easy one? Good luck!
I had a similar issue, but kernel(rogue touch kernel) had a bad flash. It would play the boot animation and shut off. I couldn't get into CWM or download mode(they both did boot animation and shut off). I let it sit for two hours(at work and could only try on break). On my second break I repeatedly try download mode and after about 20 tries it opened up download mode. Good luck

Thanks for the suggestions on Jtag'ers.
Kill and Atticus: I tried repeatedly to put it into download or recovery mode. It just won't do it. And even if it did, my PC doesn't detect the phone at all. So it would be useless to have the phone in download or recovery modes anyways. The phone won't even charge while connect to the PC.
I haven't made my way out to Sprint yet, but will be doing so in a few hours. I'm betting they're going to send me home with my tail between my legs. I'll then check with Amazon to see if there's some kind of manufacturer's warranty I can take advantage of. Then, Jtag as a last resort.
If anyone has any suggestions, please share. Thanks!
OK. I talked with a Samsung technician (my phone is still in warranty) who said that the phone is acting up. He sent me a UPS label to ship it to Samsung for free repair or replacement. They said it'll take about a week. Hopefully they don't say it's my fault and refuse to repair it. Hope I get lucky.
Yesterday i rooted and tried to install a Rom and used Rom manager to go into recovery mode. I thought you had to do the down+home+power and now when I try to do anything it wont work power button 20 sec , power+home , up/down+power+home,nothing.When i tried plug it into the computer it makes that sound when something failed to connect to the pc. When i tried holding the power button i hear the sound of the device successfully connect to the pc but when i look theres no phone on the computer and when i let go of the power button it stops. Any help would be very much appreciated and i will never do anything to risk my device being broken again...

I didnt install anything all i did was use rom manager to go into recovery mode i was trying to install a jelly bean rom but recovery mode never showed up
Did you modify your build.prop?
Can you still access the download mode? If yes try to flash back a stock rom with odin.
Or remove the battery and try again to boot up in download mode.

Try a different usb slot sometimes a usb slot may malfunction I had that problem.
Also don't use a usb extender hub if you are it may screw with the voltage.
a new usb I'm sure you've heard that one but this has the least chance of working because you the s3 makes the noise which means the usb works
Try a new computer and check that you have Kies installed
Try to restart the laptop that also helps
Hope I helped you out

Unfortunately, I have this exact same problem. I'm really scared that I may have bricked my device...
The last time my phone was working, I simply updated my phone to CM10's latest update for the phone. Everything was working perfectly fine. All I did was download the latest rom from get.cm for my sgs3.
Then I read online that this new 4.1.2 rom came out. As a new member XDA won't allow me to post the link of the rom...but you can find it in the Original Development Thread of the T-Mobile SGS3. Slim-i9300-2.7.0-OFFICIAL is the name of the rom [I copied it directly].
After making a backup of my current rom, installing this rom and installing the new gapps, I rebooted the device and nothing has worked since... [this happened about 12 hours ago].
Now, when I take out the battery and plug the charger in, the notification light becomes solid red. But nothing works...I can't go into download mode, I can't go into recovery. I knew this immediately when the phone did not vibrate after me holding down the power button for a few minutes.
The red notification light only turns on when I plug in the phone when the battery is out. If I put the battery in, after a few moments it goes away. I honestly thought maybe the battery was just dead...but I left it plugged in all night and I still can't do anything with the phone.
Please, any help for me and whtnld would be much appreciated...
@OP
Did you mod the build.prop for any reason? (Google wallet maybe?)
If you did and then tried to update/install recovery through Rom Manager, it may have tried to install the wrong recovery on the wrong partition, resulting in a hard brick.

You flashed an intl rom. Hard bricked. Need JTAG repair or replace unit.
I was about to say, isn't the i9300 the intl version? the tgh-t999 is the TMOUS version.
You have to let go of the power button to get into recovery.

Easy Way to find out if it's hard bricked is to connect your phone to pc... If pc displays qhsusb - I forget what else then you are hard bricked and need to jtag fix it which should run you around 60 buxs. Sorry bud if that's the case but next time don't flash anything i9300 if you have a t999

Can you boot into download mode? Volume Down + home + power button?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Rom manager is too buggy imo. Goo manager and TWRP recovery is the way to go next time.
Oye.... So my brother's girlfriend's T989 (Same model as myself) did the kies update to 4.1.2. All was well for a little while, but now every time she plugs her phone in (I believe just into the computer, but need to verify) it goes into download mode. The phone additionally does random reboots and crashes.. All is stock, no root. I had her use the stock recovery to wipe the cache and factory reset, and still not working.
I RDP'd to her PC and tried to ODIN to stock, but since it automagically goes into download mode when you plug it in, I'm not sure how it's communicating with ODIN and if it's even taking the flash.
Any thoughts, or anyone seen this before? The worst thing is she lives 6 hours away, so everything I do is a walkthrough or RDP.
Let me know if anyone has any suggestions..
Thanks!

I've read that before... I'm going to verify
I have the Note 2 from At&t. I tried to upload the Hawkish extreme rom. All went ok but my mobile network didn't work. So then I tried to reverse it all and go back to what I had running before, Still NO NETWORK. I then tried to go to a different rom the JEDI one. SAME problem. I tried to follow a few threads but didn't know how to download a modem like one suggested. So then I tried to flash back to he beginning and go to stock. That's when things got worse. My phone was AT&T witch is model I317 but when I changed to a new rom the model changed to DT-7105 I think so I used that one. SO now my phone I only a black screen. I cant get into the download or upload modes. If I remove the battery all I get is the Galaxy note logo when your phone first turns on then it does ALLBLACK. SO can someone help me PLEASE.
BIlly
You know what they said, once it gone black it's not going back. Joking. See you if could make or buy a jtag to get the phone into download mode to try to recover with a stock flash using Odin.

If you can't get to download mode try goin to recovery mode and flash the Skynote rom with modem for att from the link. You question about jtag it the device you plug in to your phone and it will put your phone to download mode you can easily get them from fleabay.

Not sure what upload mode is:
Recovery mode: hold vol up, power and home button.
Download mode: hold vol. down, power and home button.
Sometimes people get the two confused and not realise what dl mode is.
Idk what hawkish rom is but if your phone is locked, and your not running a tw rom you may have borked your phone.
You need to get to dl mode somehow.
Hence the jtag suggestion. Check ebay.
