During an attempt to flash a rom using odin to my rooted sgs2, odin crashed and closed before it was finished. I tried restarting odin, wouldnt see phone.
Removed battery from phone, reconnected to odin and tried using the one click odin to reflash back to stock. Also tried using odin with other roms to flash back.
Heres my problem.
When i power on the phone, it says the Galazy S2 i9100 for a few seconds, then just turns off.
I can open odin, or odin one click, plug in phone, shows me yellow w/com and added. I click start, it gets to Setupconnection and then just sits there.
I have tried
- Different roms and both one click and normal odin.
- Different usb cables
- Different usb ports
- Multiple computers
Is there any way to get past this? God i hope someone can either point me somewhere or help me out.
Reinstall Samsung Kies to your laptop or pc so the proper drivers are re-installed. Once complete with that install, plug your phone into the pc and put the phone into USB mode, hopefully the pc will recognize your phone and install the NEW DEVICE drivers after a few moments. Depending on your pc, sometimes it takes many seconds for your pc to recognize and bring up the drop down menu for the newly recognized drive. BE PATIENT. If the pc does recognize your phone, start Odin again. If Odin also see's your phone, which it now should, you should see a COM:# connection in the ID:COM box of Odin. Doesn't matter what COM # is, as long as something is there. You can now use Odin because it see's your phone. Once you start Odin flashing, make sure not to disconnect anything until you see the upper left GREEN PASS box in Odin. Once its GREEN with PASS in that box, you're finished. You can d/c your phone from the pc and the phone is probably rebooting anyway.
OFC, if your phone will not stay power'd up, all of the above is for nought. Wish I could be more helpful.
Keep in mind that I do not intend to insult intelligence but everyone has limits in experience and I always try to explain in the simplest way I can. No disrespect intended.
Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply,
How am i supposed to put the phone in usb mode when i cant boot it?
That does create a problem, I would do some research on a USB Jig for your phone. Search at eBay for: Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch USB Jig
I'm not sure if this will help a phone that will not power up but it does have its uses for Root'd phone especially using Odin to flash and to remover that nasty YELLOW Triangle that comes from ROOT ROMS that are unsign'd.
Wish I could help you further.

Try to put in download mode if not try a jig ... If that fails it's sprint or jtag

It does power on, basically shows the sgs boot logo (black backgroud w/ white text) then goes dark, but its actually still on cause it gets hot.
I can get it into download mode and i can get it into the android recovery.
Theres gotta be a way to recover with an update.zip from the android recovery via the sd card........
There you go, you have two of us saying about the same thing. Just make sure you get the correct JIG if you go that route. It's like $2.00 and arrives from China in like 2 weeks.

humm, an idling phone shouldn't get hot. That tells me you've got something going on. I think you just progress'd passed my pay grade my friend.
Heres another thing, as i mentioned in my first post.
The boot logo says i-9100....
and this is a sprint phone, isnt it a d710?
So im gussing in my late night haze i screwed myself by loading an i9100 rom/bootloader/whatever the hell that is.
Samsung calls it: I9100
Sprint calls it: SPH710
We call it: Epic 4G Touch
I see, so thats not the problem?
Im just gonna keep posting here while i mess with this incase i trigger someones mind for a fix.
(picture was here apparently i cannot post an external link yet. Was just a picture of device manager and odin sitting at SetupConnection)
The only way to get odin to see my phone, is if i open odin, put phone in download mode, plug phone in, then uninstall the com port via device manager, reinstall it. When i rescan for hardware changes, odin goes yellow as seen in the picture, i click start, then it sits at SetupConnection all day, so im guessing its losing the connection after it finds it.
My only solution here is via usb card i think, but i cant find a signed package. Cant someone just pull theirs from a stock phone? Why wouldnt that work?
Well, if you can get Odin to work, unroot to full stock with this:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ISD9AOP0
Right, getting odin to work is the real problem though i think.
Stuck at SetupConnection forever
This is super frustrating... going without a phone is impossible, work emails, texts, calls, ahhhh
..and there is no way to completely reload the entire phone using an update.zip off the sd card, one that is signed?
I know i used to do that on my droid, and all though i know this is a totally different game, i still have android recovery, one would think it would be possible if the package was signed. unsigned ones just fail, but at least i can attempt to run them from there.
If someone can find a way to do that, and it works for my phone, i will paypal $50
Let me see what I can find for ya....
I have searched two different Forums for a flashable unroot to stock with NO luck. Everything I found requires Odin. Sorry Buddy.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the i-9100 a whole different phone??? Looking at the specs and release date I would believe so. Sounds like he did an ics update for a phone that wasn't the Sph-d710 or something..

Have you tried just flashing a kernel only in Odin
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You tried flashing ICS on your phone, didn't you? B/C I'm pretty sure that's why you are seeing I9100 while booting up. If that is the case, do a search here as there are multiple people who have done this, and none of them have been able to fix it.
Sorry, your only solution is exchange at Sprint if you can, or JTAG.

does not mean he flashed ICS when you odin a kernel that is not signed ie with CWM you will get yellow triangle and it will say i9100 too ..... so does not mean he flashed ics ... if odin sees the phone on a com port he probably didnt .... try flashing a working kernel from our phone
I did attempt to flash ICS. I could find where i got it, but it was supposedly for the Epic 4G touch, aka sprint sgs2 variant.
I am a network and systems admin, i should have known better. I jumped the gun and got ahead of myself. I have rooted and put roms on the og droid, and the droid x, samsung is a different beast all together.
However, i went in to sprint the day after i did this, they looked at it, no insurance, no replacement warranty, they didnt ask me anything, and THEY determined it was a factory defect , they had me sign a sheet that said "After researching found phone to be a factory defect and the solution from SPRINT is to replace the phone. $37.41, and 22 hours later i had a brand new SGS2 in my hand.
They hadnt sent my phone in yet. I honestly am not sure if they are going to be able to tell if i did anything to it or not, i may have just hosed the bootloader enough that odin wont connect, so they probably will have to use something like jtag in house to reflash it, or replace the chip or whatever they do. Even so, if they do see that i was messing with it, and say it voided my warranty, i have a signed receipt showing my payment and agreeing to pay for the replacement at $37.41, and that THEY determined the flaw. My brother in law is a lawyer, so i asked him, because i was curious if they would look at my phone at the service center or hub or whatever, and determine it was my fault. He assured me they could try, but it would all fall back to the employee who had me sign the agreement, so even if they dont like what i did, they are beyond doing anything about it.
I doubt they will even notice it, im sure they will try to boot it, then just flash it or however they do it.
Either way, im not worried anymore.
So...someone wanna point my idiot ass to an actual good rom, with a good method, that works for my phone? lol. I cant stand touchwiz, huge icons and cant replace them ....wtf is that all about.
So I recently rooted my phone with this tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkkcCCjeUpI
Everything went great and I was rooted. So next I decided I wanted to flash a rom. So I decided this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817345
I looked over it and followed its instructions. So I flashed it. I also flashed the google apps.
This is where the problems started. I rebooted my phone, and It never would show the boot logo. I kept pulling the battery and it would not start. I thought the battery might be dead so I charged it, and still nothing. I noticed when I plug it into my computer and it makes the little connection noise. (Like my computer is reconising the device) But still nothing on the screen. I tried to connect it to odin and it does not show the device.
So I have looked all over the internet (including these forums) and have found no help. Sounds like I might have bricked my device.
So my last question, If I did indeed brick my device will this fix it? (I mean will it atleast get it into download mode?)

Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks, Griffsbrown
Boot into recovery and restore the nandroid you made before you flashed.
Man sure sounds like most the people having problems are cause they are rooted/modded. Hope its a simple fix for you. GL.
You flashed a rom for a different phone, its dead pretty much. research jtag I read its about 60-100$ read more in the future.

You flashed a ROM for a different phone. That is why you can not boot. Are you able to get into download mode? from the power off state, press and hold the volume down and home bottons and the power button. This should bring you into download mode. IF you can get there then you should be able to recover.
always be careful when flashing roms if you can get into download mode like the above poster said then your lucky and can odin a root66 and you will be back to before you installed the wrong ROM.
If you cant ........... your bricked my friend time to learn a lot more about jtag (which is a lot more difficult than odin READ READ READ
The only thing is people have been installing ATT roms for some reason their phones are not bricking but unless the dev says it works i wont try it.
ONLY USE ROMS FOR YOUR PHONE im really new and one of the first things to know.
Bricked! Search for mobile tech videos jtag fix.

I've done my fair share of searching and I couldn't come up with much so I strongly believe I have a unique problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction
Im have a rooted GS3 747 running Paranoid Android. A couple days ago the phone wouldn't charge. I tried different cables and batteries and after some testing with other GS3's I realized that my phone's charging port was broken. As a result I couldn't even connect my phone to the computer to unroot it with odin. I want to unroot so I can send in the phone for repair under warranty. So I downloaded mobile odin pro and proceeded to unroot my phone. I copied the original rogers rom to the external sd, followed the instructions and started the process. Everything looked like it was going fine until I got stuck on the samsung screen. Did some more research and learned that I had to do a factory data restart by booting into recovery mode. Did that. By now I'm feeling pretty good about all this. I followed the instructions all the way and I'm thinking that I'm gonna get a stock phone shortly. Wrong! The phone was still stuck on the samsung screen.
Now since I cant connect my phone to the PC cuz the charging port is broken I dont know what to do. I would have just flashed Clockwork Mod like I did when I first rooted and started all over but I cant.
If no one has a solution then Im just thinking of sending it in as is. Maybe they wont be able to see that the phone is rooted since they wont be able to connect it their PC without swapping out the motherboard to fix the problem.
I should add that I went to a repair store to try and fix it and they told me that the only way would be swap out your mobo.

You will want to be sure that your flash counter says 0. This can be found by entering download mode (vol down, home, power) and you will see "custom binary count". that is how they will tell that you have rooted. Have you entered recovery and done a factory reset to get past the boot screen? If you can full wipe/ factory reset and get back into Android, I recommend you use "triangle away" app to clear your flash counter.

I entered download mode and dont see flash counter anywhere. I got the warning screen were you have the option to restart or download.
Ya I entered recovery and did a factory reset but nothing. Really cant do anything with charging port broken.
I sent it in anyways for repairs. Hopefully they just replace it
I'm having the same problem with my Gs3 with CM10 4.2.2 running. Thought this would help.

ON 11/19/13 i was having problems with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 the wifi wouldnt work, couldnt get service on it and a list of other things. I was stock rooted with TWRP recovery before and flashed the stock MD4 with flashcount reset to take it back to Sprint so they can try to fix this which they did. After it was fixed I recieved it back and right after rooted it using the Samsung S3 Tool Kit. It was a success, but now my wifi, and bluetooth wouldnt work. So i was convinced to just not do anything and keep it stock and just wait till my next upgrade which is very soon. I did a factory reset and it booted me into the stock recovery and then i proceeded with the process. So as i was doing a factory reset it kept bring a TON of red error messages. NOTHING would mount, NOTHING would wipe, NOTHING happend. But in the end it said it said that it was a success. I was very confused to what was happening ive never seen anything like this. So i was very worried hoping it would boot back up like nothing happend, and thats exactly what happend. Nothing. All it did was boot up and stayed on the Samsung logo screen. The only thing i can do was boot into download mode and recovery. I then put my phone into DL MODE and downloaded the stock sprint rom from AdamLange and flashed it using Odin. That failed obviously. So I re-installed the CORRECT drivers, tried different USB cables and USB ports, and flashed again. That still didnt work. I then used the Samsung toolkit to unroot/unbrick my phone, that didnt work either. I read every forum related to this problem and beleive me i did, i stayed up all day and night trying to figure something out, trying to get information and re-did the process at least 2 times. I am on my last resort id never thought it ended up to me asking a question on here, i dont want to sound like an idiot but i am out of options...
Sorry i made this too long but id thought id put every single thing that i did to my phone that maybe i did wrong. Id appreciate it if anyone had any tips on what to do here, any feedback and any suggestions that can help me is appreciated, thank you.
See if THIS method works for you. Then you can start the process over.

Yes i tried this. That's what I use whenever I take it to Sprint for fixes. And also if i were to try it again it wouldn't mount my sd card or the internal memory, maybe flash it through Odin even if its a .zip file? My flash count is at 3, will sprint still be able to replace the devise or at least fix it? Thank you for the suggestion though.
This is my first time posting here and I am at a complete loss.
My sister gave me her ATT SM-N910A Note 4. It had started this awful rebooting process. She thought that I would be able to fix it, so I gave it a try. It will still not go past optimizing apps. This is only sometimes. It just reboots, reboots, and reboots. She was running on Marshmallow when this happened. The battery has been replaced.
I took it to the ATT store today and they did not seem like they were very interested in helping me. They kind of blew me off. They told me that since I could not get to recovery booting there was nothing that they could do. So, I proved to them that I could, indeed, get to recovery mode by holding all of the buttons down and putting the battery in. He looked at it for a second, pressed a button and he was done with it. He told me that my system files are deleted. That I need to find someone to help me recover them or I could do it myself. SD updating is disabled. I have to do this from Odin.
So, I think I need Odin files.
Please help!
