Hello gurus,
I got a SGS2 I9100G. I tried to flash the CF-Root kernel in order to root but it failed.
I then went to download mode and tried to install Litening rom.
it always fail at the modem part.
I am so stupid that I did not first check the firmware version already installed !
I am now trying to re-install a stock version and none is working.
I tried vilain rom 1 (supposed to wipe everything) it completes with no error , but it stays stuck at the writing Samsung I9100G . (not the Samsung logo).
I can not go into the recovery mode.
I tried to flash a kernel and things got worse... now I have the 2 computers screen.... Please helppppppppppppppp
Thanks
Ok looks like what you've done is flash software meant for the I9100 model and not the I9100G.
Search through the threads till you find threads specifically about the G model. Read and read a lot. Not joking...read a lot.
Your gonna need Odin, gonna need to boot into download mode and gonna need to flash firmware for the I9100G model.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

You think that flashing a firmware for I9100G will solve the issue ?
thanks

Yes. The I9100 and the I9100G are two different devices.

Hi All
I wanted to root my phone and flashed XWKDD_insecure to my phone using Odin. After that my phone restarted and now all I see is the Samsung Galaxy S II startup screen with a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark at the bottom.
My phone won't start now
My phone came with the following firmware:
PDA: I9100GJPKH8
CSC: I9100GOJPKG7
Can anyone please help me in restoring my phone?
I'll be really, really grateful.
Thanks,
juzer
I'm not sure of this but I9100G is different from I9100 so XWKDD won't work on i9100g
If i am right you must download a proper firmware for your phone and reflash through odin
Hi Red_Vex
I'm not able to find a proper firmware for my device.
More importantly, how do i get my phone to work...
It has stopped working

You must registrer on samMobile.com and search for Firmwares -> Smartphone ->Android-> GT I9100G-> Middle East and download a firmware for your nations.
Then go in download mode and flash it through odin
Thanks for your help, Red_Vex
Actually I was able to find an insecure kernel for i9100G on XDA and that has saved my life!!
Thanks once again!

I have a Samgung Galaxy S2 i9100 from Bell, Canada.
I was trying to root it using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934.
I accidentally flashed the GB kernel, not knowing it meant Gingerbread. I then proceeded to flash the ICS kernel, thinking it would replace the GB one, but now my phone wont boot, it just stays at the screen with the yellow triangle.
Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Note: I have rooted my phone and installed custom ROMs before (CM7), so i have a general understanding on the matter, just I don't know how to fix it.
Try entering cwm recovery by volume up home and power. If that doesn't work do volume down home and power. Then install a ics Rom and kernel via Odin.
If you need more help ask me.

Your main issue is if you flashed any kernel from that thread you linked, you flashed a kernel meant for an I9100G. You said you have an I9100 from Bell, which probably means you either have an I9100, or an I9100M. Check the label under the battery for model number to know for sure.
I9100G firmwares and kernels are not compatible with I9100/M/P/T due to processor/SoC differences.
You want this thread instead.

Download a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through odin. Then start the process again using i9100 kernel

So did you confirm you have either an I9100 or an I9100M?
If so, stay away from I9100G firmwares/kernels/ROMs/etc.
Hi i'm having a problem with this rom, I flashed the most recent lp7 kernel, the lp7 one from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631934
Used the latest version of the rom, flashed it no problems. Aroma completed the install without any troubles.
But now i'm stuck on the presentation screen of the phone that says samsung galaxy S2 model number (the first thing that pops up when you start the phone)
I've re wiped (dalvik and battery stats too) everything a couple of times, tried the latest syriah kernel, nothing works.
Any ideas or suggestions would be vastly welcome.
Ok reflashed a couple of times and now I 'm stuck on the cMIUI loading screen.

1. Siyah kernel is not compatible with GT I9100G. Don't flash kernels/ROMs meant for GT I9100.
2. Post the link of the Rom you flashed
3. List all the steps you took while flashing.
4. Please include any additional info, that you think will be relevant to solving your problem.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I think i might have found the problem, there was a link to a detailed install procedure in the thread which was for i9100 so the bad kernel flash soft bricked the phone i've restored it and i'm now trying a similar rom

Fixed it the unbrick procedure thats in the g forums worked perectly.
Looks like one must never flash anything on the g version unless it is specifically made for the g version

i tried to flash my brothers sgs2 on 2.3.5 fw( dont remember what exactly) via odin and it stalled on flashing factoryfs.. on multiple fw packadges.. 2.3.5 and 4.0.3 and 4.0.4.. before that the phone worked fine... now i can only put it in download mode with a usb jig..
any thoughts on how to try to fix it?
thnx in advance

If it's really a i9100 then i would flash this stock firmware with Odin in PDA
i will try it ...managed to get it boot to stock recovery by flashing old bootloader... but still no charging...
downloading this fw and will try it
Okay let me know how it goes and just to make sure :
Is it a i9100 or another derivate of the s2?
Did you check the repartition box in Odin? If yes, you'll need a correct pit file for i9100.
There is no such thing as a "soft brick" your device is either bricked or it isn't and if you can get into download mode it isnt "bricked".
What you have done is flash a incompatible rom or kernel to your device.
Firstly give some relevant information, what model/variant is your device? What rom did you try flashing?
If you can get into download mode, flash a custom kernel like Siyah then reboot into recovery, wipe data/fcatory reset and see if rom boots. If not try flashing a custom one like CM10 via recovery until you research and find correct stock one for your device and try ODIN again.
It is a i9100, said so in stock recovery...
The fw i was on was 2.3.5 from austria 3 network.. i think it is KI2 ..
I tried flashing Lp7, but before that i tried my country's KK1(gb) beacause i had it on my pc and i had a cf-root kernel with it...
It also stalled on factoryfs.img.. every fw seems to stall on that...
None of the times i tryed flashing was re-partition ticked..
Im on my job right now but as soon i come home i will try some of these solutions and will report here
Thx

You're using the latest ODIN ?...are you sure thats the correct firmware?...
I think they got it working again.
Hi all
I've had a custom root and rom on my s2
I've since reset and odined a new rom into it that didn't seem to work (boot looped) so I installed what I thought was a stock one vod uk)
Anyway, this hasn't worked as it now gets stuck booting on the s2 screen
Not sure what to do... my root (0yellow triangle) has disappeared so I can't install a custom rom and I don't know the csc (or whatever it It is) as I'm guessing the stock rom I put on was not exactly the same as the one that came on it originally?
Bit confused how I get it back now
Thanks

To help you out more information is needed - exact phone type, what was your previous ROM, what ROM you flashed, etc..
Can you go to Download Mode? (home + power + volume down)
If you can, download the right ROM and flash it with Odin.

Still unclear what is your phone model. Is it I9100, I9100G or even HD LTE?
According to this you must choose a proper ROM for your device. If it`s wrong you will get soft brick.

Hi
It's gt i9100
Can you point me in the direction of a rom that will work? Do I need to find a way of clearing the cache as well or should a simple reinstall fix it?
Thank you
Go to sammobile and get a stock rom from there......fill in the 4 boxes to pinpoint which ones you can try.Avoid the 4.0.4 one lol.
Then read tutorial about using odin properly on here.
