Nice picture. But waht really I must to do now?

Looks like you need JTAG to fix that. You'll need to take it to a service center.
Why were you using a .PIT file and Repartitioning?

I'll try JTAG tomorrow.
I'll followed this instruction http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/ . Found this link here.
This is new device for me and while I'm searching before open this topic I'm already fou a lot of mentions to never do it.

Ok. I'll post my try tomorrow...
Rrr... I'm bought it 4 hours ago... And killed him...Yeah... Epic fail

You have a JTAG setup? I don't mean a USB Jig. You'll need to take it to a Samsung service center and blag it, maybe tell them KIES froze whilst updating or something.

Nope. I haven't it. SO i'll go to SC

heres a link.Half way down the page is a contact for poland.
http://www.jtagbox.com/riff-jtag-bo...s-unbrick-bricked-phone-riff-box-owners-list/
I used this list to get mine done and it cost 35euros.Each country obviously has a different price though.Good luck.

JTAG bootloader restore not helped.
I feel like a complete loser.
Tomorrow is full diagnostic...
p.s. Could someone say smth about warrantu labels? Where is there situated?

Phone details under the battery .
Warranty details in the box .
You have invalidated your warranty .
Will the service centre notice this /or charge you who knows .
Kies update failed is the best excuse .
jje

All is ok. SC give me a new SG2

Ok, now please be careful if/when flash the device.

This does not work for a "bricked" Atrix. If the Atrix is "bricked" then USB will not recognize it. That has been my conundrum since the beginning. My Atrix is bricked because I tried to go back to Froyo from Gingerbread. Apparently there is no recovering from that.
what do I do?=(

I bought my phone online and I'm using in Australia, took to phone service and they said they can't help as it's from overseas!

wait for a way to unbrick?
send to motorola "US"?
cheers
That looks like a hard brick! Anyone please correct me if I am wrong, but there is no way of fixing that yourself. Sending to moto us is your best option if you want it fixed
(There is some chatter about a factory cable, but I would suggest a more experienced persion to also give their opinion before you do anything)

What you don't do is create another thread basically asking the same thing in another forum. Merging this thread with the one in Q/A. I feel sorry for your brick, so no infraction given, as I understand one can get desperate when dealing with a hard brick, however, it is what it is and nothing can get done....
Thanks guys, I did hard rest but the phone not showing on windows pc.
maybe the factory cable be an option but I heard we need to have sbf files!?
and also, I'm still under warranty can I ship the phone from Aus to US to get it fixed? how??
Thanks again
Hi Matthew
Seeing u as a same local. Have u think of going up to 2.3.4?
Maybe by flashing using sbf files? Then....
Cos I'm thinking of getting a atrix.
Bored by the gs2.
i can get to the nvflash recovery mode tho, but what that can do?

You'll need a factory cable to flash, however, the files to flash have not been made available so it's not very helpful now

Nah. sbf files are for RSD, nvflash (nVidia flash) require a different file and app to flash
argh...
So we just have to wait....
I've heard about some other hardwares that can be plugged into the bricked device and make it hard reset/factory reset?any ideas?
I have the same problem here... :S

[Q] Removie yellow tringle

Salam,,,,
i just bought my galaxy s ii yesterday with stock 2.3.4
i think that i followed all steps for "rooting thing"
after load "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG1-v4.1-CWM4" in Odi3 v1.85
when i clicked start it says pass, but the last message in the box it says: Removed!!
then i got the yellow triangle, i tried to do the same step again and again, and sometimes load "KERNEL_I9100XXKG2_CL375027_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
i cant start my phone!!
help please
my apologies
now i got this problem

Simple to remove yellow triangle: USB Jig
Second problem, try holding down Power + Vol Down + Home buttons together when the phone is off, until you see a verification popup saying if you want to continue to flashing a custom ROM. Then try reflashing your ROM or kernel.
well, in my country there is no USB jig unfortunately
second i got this problem in my second replay (look image)
there is no use when holding power+home+volume down or up
the same problem appear to me
thanks for your help
I doesn't matter if it's not in your country. Order one here:
http://usbjig.com/
Did you enable any of the checkboxes that were disabled when you started Odin?
Like "Repartition" or "Flash Bootloader" or any of those?
yes, all three was checked when i used PIT, PDA, PHONE, and CSC
There we are. The Galaxy S 2 does not need a pit file, you probably got a pit file for a Samsung Galaxy S.
<Warning information heard from other users>
In another big Android board is a discussion going on that flashing a pit file can fry the mainboard + battery as it will use wrong settings (the settings for the Galaxy S) and apply a too high voltage.
</Warning information heard from other users>
From my experience in that case even the jig does not work anymore (you could try it anyways) so you might either need to send it to Samsung or find somebody with a JTAG (won't help if the mainboard gets damaged).
@prodygee
i hope it doesnt take long time in delivery
ohh, dont tell me that the board is damaged
i didnt spent 24h yet!!!!

Nah, as I said, those are just reports from other users I couldn't verify (I'm not gonna flash a pit file just for the sake of testing!) so you should try the jig anyways, because it's not expensive and does the trick in many cases.
However if those user claims are correct not even a JTAG could help but let's just hope the best for the moment, there's no point in being scared beforehand.
I wish you luck and please tell us if the jig worked!
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and you don't have a jig it will be simple..
Flash Cf-Root
Flash stock kernel (cwm for cf root will remain)
Unzip the Cf root you falshed earlier until you get zImage and don't rename it
Open cwm
Choose flash kernel
Select the zImage you extracted and flash
After that there will be no yellow triangle after boot

@ephraim033
my friend i cant go to download mode anymore
how much do you think it cost when the board is damage more than $200?
i will try warrant company, then try jig
I see.. Why don't you take it to damsung service center and make a story that you updated through kies then kies broke your device.. Atleast try the service center because it's free, but if all else fails you can try jtag
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
oh man, i just take it to warranty company, they told that they will try to update the software (i think it wont work) otherwise they will give a new one!!
Why are you flashing anything without not knowing what your doing?!

they will send the phone to Samsung!!

[How To] Recover from a soft brick GS2

Hi, I was trying to root my device with insecure kernel, and then my device hangs on galaxy i9100 boot screen,
so, I've tried to restore my stock kernel, but it didn't help...
finally I've tried to flash the jpkg2 stock rom from intratec thread, also the same...
i tried this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and my phone stoped at this
and with fully falied odion tests...
now I can enter the download mode.
but recovery mode is not working
Note: there was no Kies when I did this, after that I tried all the things before with kies installed, and with samsung_usb_driver, and still got no success.
Note: Odion recognize my device, download mode is fine.
any help would be apprecciated.
Quite clearly not a "How To", and what was wrong with your other thread?
plz help i9100 dead.
im trying here to make it more clearly
I did't find any help in my last thread, so I tried to be more specific here.
Taken from Intratech's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
........................
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Anyone ask about .pit file is a moron
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First thing I notice when looking at your screenshot is that you have ticked re-partition.
Second thing I notice is that you have tried to flash a PIT file.
Maybe that's where you are going wrong??
I found this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18961761&postcount=9
this man was unable to flash his device " Odion Fail"
so one of the suggestions was to use another computer, and yeh!! it works for him.

What was wrong with the replies? You didn't find a magic fix to your problem, which in all honesty, was just you being stupid putting the wrong files into the Odin boxes. If you want a magic fix, send your phone to Samsung and pay for the fix they do.
If you want a normal fix, listen to the replies given in the other thread. Don't start spamming new topics everywhere with the same question just because you don't like the answer. Remember, you killed your phone and others are actually trying to help you fix it....

Factory reset or reinstall rom .
But logic says you ask the question in that roms thread they will say its normal for that rom .
jje
First of all you must be mad! Posting your IMEI is crazy idea!!!
You need to set up APN manually and it will work.
On screenshot, your IP is unavailable because you're not connected to network. Turn WiFi on and IP will be back. The "ERI" is normally "OFF" as well. Nothing wrong with your phone.

Everything on screenshot looks normal. Your APN can be fixed after F.Reset but screen will look exactly the same.
My phone is working fine and stats are the same if WiFi is OFF....
