If Odin can detect your phone then you should be able to flash your phone with it regardless what the screen looks like.

Can you help me how to do it? I have Samsung Galaxy Gio S-5660 GT
If you will turn my phone on, I promise to pay you.

Well you said Odin detects your phone still right? You should be able to find Odin flashable firmware for your phone and flash as usual.

If Odin detects your phone then there might be a chance to flash a new rom to your device.
Go to samfirmware.com and find an rom/firmware for your phone... Then download it and flash it using one package techinque in odin. If you need more help post your phone model, it might help for better reply ...

Go to this link and get yourself a good rom/kenel that is for your region's device. Then try to flash it using one package option in ODIN in download mode.
You can also find a guide on flashing your rom @ samfirmware.com/guides.htm

First of all you need to calm down.
Then you need to ask that buddy of yours exactly what he did.
Post how much ever information you can get. In the mean time put the phone on charging.

Can u go into download mode ? Volume Down+ Home button + Power button ?
You dont need to go into any mode, you can connect and flash by Odin while PHONE ! PC logo is displayed, just flash it again and be more careful in what you are doing.
The trouble is you don't know what your original rom was... If your mate just flashed a new rom on without knowing what was needed he may have flashed a custom rom onto a carrier rom... This is not easily fixable if you don't know what your carrier or stock rom was...
Just because someone has flashed their phone doesn't mean they know what they're doing. If its NOT the same phone, don't hand over your rather expensive toy...
Just download SAMSUNG KIES:
http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/m...softwaremanual.do?page=MOBILE.SOFTWARE.MANUAL
Restore your phone back to stock rom.
I can't go to download mode..many time i'm trying to make it..just be like that only,when i put on charging,the screen screen still like that..hurm..anyone can explain to me,how can i do??my friend said,his friend pull out the cable from the fon when he flash the rom into fon..then when he restart fon and want go to download mode...that screen come out..and won't go to download mode..
i have kies ready..when put cable on fon,kies not detect my fon..how??
This def. sounds like a job for the USB jig.

[Q] I think I bricked my samsung galaxy s2 =-(

I really need some help here if anyone could take some tile to do so...
I just got the samsung galaxy s2 and I tried to flash the firmware on the phone and I believe I flashed the wrong one and now I have no services on my phone at all. I flashed a rom and have no connect 3g/4g/wifi. I am not able to connect the phone to odhin to reflash the firmware either. I can get into download (Odhin mode) and I can also get into recovery. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
i dont get it, you say you cant connect your phone to odin, but you can get into downlaod mode.
put your phone in download mode, then connect your phone to PC and then reflash the correct firmware for your phone with ODIN

Ok, your phone is not bricked.
If you have no data/wifi your phone maybe missed baseband

It doesn't connect at all when I am in download (odin mode) like it won't show me with the yellow connection in odin tells me that I have a custom binary and that I have downloaded 1 binary. The only time I can connect with odin is when the phone is in the booted up but I can not do anything with it at all no connection. Also Clockwork is all messed up as well whenever I click on a task it goes blank and I just hit the power button again and it goes back to the main screen =-(
I have been reading up online and I guess what I need is a US version of sprints firmware but now I need to figure out how to install it once I get my hands on it
I found the firmware!!
D710USEG30 is the firmware for Sprint USA galaxy s2 I am going to attempt to use Heimdall Frontend to install it (crossing my fingers) hehe
Ok update, I guess I installed something on my laptop to keep me from being able to use odin. I did it on my desktop just fine and I am back up and running. I thank both of you for your time it was very helpful and much appreciated =-)
I hope you both have a very Merry Christmas =-D

phone model is SPH-D710 are you sure you got the correct model number? if i am not wrong, SPH-D710 is for SAMSUNG GALAXY S II EPIC 4G TOUCH. correct me if i am wrong.
And backup your EFS (IMEI), use the search for EFS, and for backuo you can use the HK-Tool its on the market.. its very important to backup it.

Galaxy s2 is stuck on a screen with mobile and computer it wont start up

i tried to root my galaxy s2 but odin said operation failed and then my phone started showing a small pic on upper left corner of phone with mobile, computer and a small yellow triangle. My phone does not start up. I tried to connect it with kies but an error" Device not responding. To resolve the issue please, reboot the device " comes up on computer. I tried putting it back in download mode which did not worked as well. Any advice/suggestion will be helpfull as i m fairly new to android and my phone seems like useless. Please............
If you can't get into download mode then you have a problem. Does recovery work?
Also need more detail like firmware you were on, what file you flashed and what you put where in odin.

Just quick update that i got successfull in putting the phone in download mode

I am able to get back in download mode but i have no idea what to do now any suggestions please. Thanks in advance.
Thats a Galaxy Note yes .
which is given in xda developer forum link http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1331784

As JJE pointed out, it seems like you are trying to flash a root kernal for a different device. You need cf root for Galaxy S2. If you can find it flash it as you did the first time and it might boot. If not you will need to flash a full firmware in Odin.

I cant get to download mode yet. I was using ODIN 3 to flash and USB had gotten disconnected when NAND write start ! was mentioned on ODIN.

I9100G update failure.

Dear All,
I'm in a critical situation,My device is totally stopped working when I have tried to flash a custom ROM (I9100GJPKH8_i9100GDZKH5) to my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G but the process failed and can't go further even I'm not able to restart my device the only option to restart is to remove the battery and once i do that i got message telling me that "software update fail" and it won't allow me to go to ODIN menu.
I have searched the net for the original ROM for my device model but with no luck ( Original ROM is: I9100gzcki1_i9100gozhki1_chn)
I seek your help in order to get my device back to work.
Thank you
So you can't enter in recovery-mode? Do u have a USB-JIG?
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
Yeah, I'm not able to go to recovery mode.

Thanks for reply
I think u will be able to get into download mode. Try to get in there and download a custom rom for I9100G and not I9100 understand and flash using Odin. Hope it will help u.

OK. If you can get into download mode (turn phone off. Then hold down the home button & the volume down button. Keep holding these down then hold down the power button), go to Sammobile & download a I9100G stock rom & flash this in Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for flashing stock roms downloaded from there.
If you can't get into download mode there's a slim chance a jig might get you into download mode.
There's a thread over in the General section where people have offered to let other people use their jigs. You might want to have a look at that thread & see if there's someone close to you who might be able to help you out rather than you buying a jig on eBay & waiting for it to turn up in the mail.
You can diy one.

If you tried to flash a custom rom ANYTHING other than Juffo rom based on DZJk2 for Gingerbread on a I9100G using odin and you cannot get into download mode... you probably soft bricked your phone.
Buy a USB-jig (basically a microUSB connected to a resistor, there are multiple videos on Youtube you can make one urself or order it online)
Insert the USB-jig into the phone while its powered off, and you should be able to get into download mode automatically.
Go find the original Stock rom and flash it back and look up how to properly backup/and root your device + using custom rom.
There are not many I9100G roms out there, theres the Juffo Rom and the Dark rom for "ICS experience" if i am correct, someone can correct me on this.
** if a USB jig does not turn your phone on or boot into download mode... and your phone is powered off... you hard bricked the phone, and should go see a JTAG service to unbrick your phone.
Galaxy rom rc3 works great. Try out with Lucifr 1.21kernel.

Update Galaxy S2 with Kies...issue

Hi,
I have tried to update my galaxy s2 with Kies but the update fails
Now when i turn on my phone it says "Firmware update encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
How can I replace the original firmware?
It was a Vodafone-it Firmware.
Thanks
check if u can go in Download mode keep pressing volume down + home + power after switching the phone off..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
yes it goes in download mode but i don't know what i have to do after that becouse Kies tell me that it doesn't see the phone and askme a code for replace the firmware....
Your phone is perfectly fine so Don't panic. You have to use Odin to flash stock firmware. Ask some other member for help regarding Odin. As I have to go for some work. And specify your phone's model no. Must be on the sticker that is on your phone below the battery..

tell us your phone model
your OS version
and if you have any knowledge of Odin or Heimdall
hi, i have tried with odin and maybe i have selected a wrong files becouse it frozened...
I restart the phone and now it doesn't work, always black screen and now the download mode doesn't work too...

Lesson learned? Wait for instructions before doing anything Looks like you need to go to sammy?
