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)
I'm looked everywhere but nothing. Please help if you can.
I was on BeastMOD2.5 then some things on the phone were not working (Tmobile S2) so I called in and they shipped me a replacement. I used this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323878) to restore it back to stock and unroot the phone and it worked besides one problem, I still got the synergy kernel gray screen at bootup, so as of now, i'm at stock, unrooted just with that synergy kernel screen. I looked it up and found the ODIN stock way to get it back so I tried that way, but now everytime I hook the USB to my computer to try to ODIN it, it always says USB not recognized (I've tried searching for fixes: clean USB, reinstall drivers, reinstall Klies, other computers, other USB cord, other USB ports but nothing).
I just need to get that synergy kernel screen off from bootup, but now that I cannot hook up the phone to any computer, what should I do? Is there a wireless option I have? Is there a way to brick the phone to where it won't even boot up when tmobile gets it back that they wouldn't even know? thing is it will also charge using a computer, but the computer won't recognize it (im done the whole settings USB options as well)
Please help, thanks guys.
any ideas?

I've tried that and i've tried this on 4 PC's and my usual Mac that I use to transfer files but no luck.
I also tried the debugging mode but nothing as well. Ill try for a couple more days with random things but since the rom is stock and everything is basically like out the box status if I were to return it with the synergy kernel screen on bootup, what would tmobile say even though everything is stock even the kernel?
Hey Buddy, there had been a few of us that has had the same problem.
For some reason, after you restored your phone back to stock, you still have the Synergy Logo when turn on and you lose your USB drivers, somehow, I don't know why. I tried so many ways for my computer to locate my phone, but after so many hours of looking, I gave up. Sold my phone to my friend and got another one.
Lesson learn. Someone should look into a solution for this problem
Thanks.

This is good to know for anyone that is looking to restore phone back to stock.
So I'm guessing people should install stock kernel first via Odin and then flash stock rom/recovery.
Maybe this will take care of Synergy logo.
What steps did you take?

+1 From the posts Ive read the people that have had this issue have used the zedomax flash. Safest bet for anyone looking to go back to stock should stick with the odin method. I think there should be a warning in the index thread next to the [HOWTO] [ROM] How to Unroot SGH-T989 Painlessly link about the usb issue and also the kernel boot image even thou if people would just read the whole thread they would see that others have already reported the kernel image issue......
Returning the phone with that would land you an out if warranty fee

If you flash this stock kernel zip before you flash the easiest unroot method ever it will give you stock kernel and remove any custom kernel logo.

yeah but is was too late to know that, so there's no way we can use the samsung recovery mode with the install from SD option?
Is your recovery stock. ? If its not you can always put it your sd card and flash it that way.

Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi !!!
same new here
This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...
Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.
did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.
Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick
One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.
that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

Hey... i searched for a solution and couldn't find one....
So i tried to install the Omega rom, the process went by pretty quickly, that's when i became suspicious.
Now i can turn my phone on, but there is something... strange... for instance once the screen turns off, the phone plays dead until i restart it.
i can get into download mode, and i did, tried to install cwm6 again, but it didnt work.
and if i try to go into recovery mode (vol up home and power) it just hangs on the "Samsung galaxy note 2 n-7100" screen.
Thanks for the help in advance =]
edit: Forgot to mention, if i plug it into the pc, windows/kies doesn't recognise it.
:< Please help me i am completly lost and beating my self up for trying this foolishness
Did u check "usb debug" on your device? Try samsung driver instead.
Try reflash recovery via pc odin again.
Might wanna try TWRP as people have been having issues with CWM when flashing ROM's.
Hey thanks for the answers, i indeed check usb debugging and it is on.
i also relized i SOMEHOW managed to download the galaxy s3 rom instead of the note 2 rom and flash it, and i guess thats the problem, however im sure it didnt flash right, any way i downloaded the correct rom and flashed it using mobile odin, every thing worked fine
however i still cant get into recovery mod, and the problem where the device stays in sleep mode is still there...
Im going to try this TWRP thingy now

By the way, as noted by Adam Outler, you should not use ODIN to continuously flash ROM's. Just to reset phone if needed. Using ODIN to flash ROM's will only turn out badly.

The thing is it used to work earlier, before ive gone and messed it all up
Sorry you're not having much luck. Maybe one of the brilliant devs will hop in and lend some thoughts. I'm out of ideas at the moment.
Thanks any way dude, appreciate it.
Im going to sleep, but let me reiterate the problem.
- Tried to flash a Galaxy s3 rom onto the Note 2, dont ask me how i made this mistake
- something.. happened during the flash
- now the phone wouldn't connect to usb (so i cant use odin) and after the screen turns off it wont turn back on again without switching the device off and on
- eventually downloaded the note 2 rom (omega) and flashed it using mobile odin, this time the proccess finished fine, but...
-Still cant connect the phone to the pc usb, (it charges tho, drivers are installed)
-Screen still wont come back on after it turns off
Shameless bump =[
Man.......
im guessing this problem is not a common one eh?
I hate to spam but im really lost, having this 600$ mirrior feels bad :<

Guys I need your help
I don't know what happened to my Note II phone.
Only thing I've done was to root it. I'm still using the same O.S. I haven't tried flashing something on it before
Here's what happened.
I was just chillin, chatting on Messenger when all of a sudden, the phone LED indicator flashes but it doesn't unlock. then the phone died and when i was trying to charge it, there was only a charge icon on the screen but it wasn't moving.
The next day i bought a new battery and now what happened was that it wasn't going through the Galaxy Note II screen (bootloop perhaps?) i tried going through recovery mode -- dead android icon then it shuts down. and i was still able to access download mode
before i was able to follow the soft brick recovery mode, all of a sudden it doesn't even go to recovery/download mode anymore
LED indicator does not turn on for charging even if i plug it into the charger.
What do i need to do? i don't have JTAG as an option
I read somewhere that I you can boot hardbricked phones using an SD card by doing something about partition stuff there will that work? :laugh::laugh::laugh: hope to get some replies from you guys :good::good:

Not much you can do if the phone can't get into recovery mode.
