when i try to reboot my phone it shows up a black screen with a phone connecting to a computer with a yellow triangle warning sign between...
how can i quit this mode!! omg!!!

Hi there
Check your usb connections please, one of the most common and unmentioned problems with ODIN is that it doesnt like being connected through hubs or non usb2 ports, i failed with odin quite a few times, until i disconnected my phone from the usb hub and connected it directly to the pc usb2 port, everything was fine after that.
Odin doesnt usually fail, what files are you flashing, is the firmware a 1 file package or multiple files with a .pit file??
If its 1 file, make sure you untick repartition.
Odin is solid, i would ask you to go away and check all the above, use odin 1.83 which is the best version i found, then try again, also check your lead, sometimes cheap usb leads are designed for charging and not syncing.
Good luck

also the black screen mode is because the flash failed, you need to re enter download mode, and reflash until you get a pass, if it fails again, check md5 sums or download a generic s2 firmware and try again, its not bricked dont worry, as long as you do it right it will be fine.

thank for ur info.
anyway to get the hell out of the black scren??..
i connot re-enter the download mode... keep stuck in the black screen with a phone connecting to a computer with a yellow triangle warning sign!..

Can u get into clockworkmod recovery?
Press Home+volume up+ power key until you get to cwm recovery.
And yes you probably connected your phone through a hub or usb1 port.
If nothing else works you'll need a jig to restart into download mode. Try and look for the jig thread on general sgs2 forum for free locations.

That's forced download mode I.E. it's forcing you to flash something. Get a stock rom from Samfirmware or Checkfus & flash it with Odin.

Absolutley these guys are right, even if your flash has failed you should still be able to enter download mode, are you sure you cant, VOLUME DOWN, MIDDLE BUTTON AND POWER BUTTON, keep them all held down and it will boot to DL Mode, every time mine got a fail i still got to dl mode no problem.
Failing that yer, get a jig, usually they come from singapore, so if you cant wait that long pop to an electronics store, buy the resistors you need and a micro usb plug and make one, i made one yesterday and it cost me £1.40 to make, although its a makeshift for emergencies, it will do until the one ive ordered arrives.
Keep trying dl mode, no reason to not get into it.

^This.
Also, OP, make sure you are flashing an I9100G firmware, and NOT an I9100 firmware. Likely that was the cause of your predicament in the first place, as that is the common cause of this screen being reached.

That sounds like a brick software, I get some like this time ago

tried to flash the phone from ODIN and failed, most probably he done it wrong. The only thing the phone does is displaying an icon in the middle of the screen with a phone and a PC and an exclamation point in between them. I can`t get it to enter in download mode (volume down+home+power) and I can`t start it eather. It just stays at that icon. Kies is not recognizing the phone although the drivers are installed. When I pluged the phone for the first time in the PC it automatically instaled 2 drivers and that was it. Is it bricked? I haven`t seen this before.
The phone is an SGS 2 model GT-I9100G, ssn I9100GGSMH.
I hav downloaded 2 official firmware, 2.3.6 and 4.0 .. all is Malaysia..
flash so many times and keep failing..

I have the same problem and if it was actually in download mode properly then why won't ODIN detect the device????????????????????
I am trying to get clockworkmod onto the device. And the phone does nothing else but show that screen no matter how many times I do button combos etc... Maybe you should stop ignoring the guy when he's saying IT ISN'T WORKING AFTER HE HAS TRIED THE STEPS THAT PEOPLE WHO "KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING" HAVE PROVIDED.

Depends on what you have already tried flashing since you originally got into this mess in the first place.
If you started blindly flashing stuff for any which device, it's possible you have borked your device to the point where your PC will no longer detect it.
Say, if you tried flashing a Fascinate ROM or similar to a Vibrant.
I'm just guessing that's what happened, because you started this thread in the Fascinate forum.
The Fascinate and the Vibrant are two completely different models of phones. The Fascinate is the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S, and is a CDMA phone. You have a Telus version of the Vibrant, which is a GSM phone.
So if you flashed something out of the Fascinate forum to your SGH-T959D Vibrant, you likely caused this issue yourself. And why are you in the I9100 forum trying to solve your problem?
Go to the Vibrant forum for your problem with your Vibrant phone.

Use Odin

SGS2 stuck in orange triangle

Help!! My SGS2 is stuck on a screen with an orange triangle and excmamation mark between a cellphone and computer after a ROM flash attempt!
I can go to Downloading mode and Odin can detect my smartphone but i don't know what else to do...
Flash a full (different to whatever you were trying) ROM, problem solved.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yep, that's just a soft brick.
since you can access DL mode, just reflash with odin and normally problem solved
Haaa, thx all i fixed it! ^^
It took me 5 hours to find out what i had to do and find the stock Firmware tho...
But all fine now
Hello,
I've got the same problem but it seems I can't go into download mode. What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?
My SGS2 is not rooted and was on Android 2.3.3. Kies told me there was an update available to android 2.3.4 so I went for it.
But I'm really disappointed, now my phone is completety stuck on this screen with the phone...orange triangle with exclamation mark (warning)...PC.
EDIT : Samsung Kies proposes to do an emergency recovery, but in the end it also fails.
Fortunately, I took a screenshot before upgrading. See attachment.
Please help me.
kind regards,
Andrew

If your phone is not rooted, you still have your warranty, bring it back to the shop and ask for a new one
I bought it an amazon. But I'd prefer to have a solution right now instead of having to complain.
I continued my quest on the net... Apparently, a usb jig might take me out of this screen and back to the download mode. Can somebody confirm this?

One minus Did you follow the Kies recovery instructions .
One turn off and remove battery for a short period .
Two turn on
Three try recovery mode
Four try download mode ..
Five yes USB jig may enable you to get to download mode and from that you can flash a stock Samsung rom .
Six service centre

Thanks JJEgan. I'll try once more and let you know. Assuming that I am able to get in download mode, why should I use a stock kernel and not the normal firmware I had before? Sorry about my question, but this is all new for me.
A USB Jig should be standard equipment for anybody who flashes their Galaxy phone, IMO.

Download Odin, download stock ROM, use Windows Task Manager to kill any Kies-related processes. Then turn off the phone, turn it back on in download mode and flash using Odin. Do not tick repartition and do not use the PIT file if the stock ROM comes with one.
Hi,
Thanks to this forum I managed to bring my SGS2 alive again step by step after that Kies broke it during the android upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4... Moreover, I am in the official 2.3.4 version now without using Kies!! ;-) Here's my story:
In the end, I was able leave the screen with the "phone..orange warning triangle..computer". and I was able to go in download mode without a usb jig. You have to press the 3 keys (volume down, home, and power on) quite a few seconds without releasing them. And then the download warning menu appears, press volume up to confirm that you want go go in download mode. And I was in "download mode'. Anyway, I will buy a jig ;-)
I tried once more the emergency recovery with samsung Kies without success. Failed.
Then with Odin I had problem. It was stuck at step "setup connection". Kies was not running and was not visible in the system tray. Though in the task manager, I still had 2 Kies* processes. Kiestrayagent.exe and another one starting with Kies and 4 letters (sorry I didn't write it down). I killed both processes. One step further... Then Odin was stuck on step complete(write) operation failed. Never found why. I tried several times, battery in and out again, without success. This was on a Win7 32bit. Latest Kies version.
In the end I installed Odin on another PC Win7 64bits. I had to install Kies also on it otherwise Win7 says "no driver found" when you plug in the usb cable of the SGS2. And on this computer, flashing with Odin worked perfectly.
Thanks again to all people who helped me + also thanks to this super forum where I could find the official firmware I needed after that Kies broke down my phone.

[Q] HOW to restore phone from unsuccessful flash?

Hi All,
I tried to flash my friends i9100 (it had arabic 2.3.4 firmware, but i didn't write down the exact firmware number), to I9100JPKI1 2.3.5 1 file update. But it gave "FAIL" result in ODIN. After that phone got stuck on Download screen. I removed battery and restarted the phone. And after it got stuck on the following screen (pic at the end of post)
I tried to flash it again by odin but it's not flashing (Attached pic of ODIN after unsuccessful flash below). Any ideas how to restore the phone?
it seems connectivity problem. Have you tried another USB or another USB cable?
Yes, tried different cables on different computers. The phone is booting with this phone-warning triangle-computer logo immediately. Even samsung logo is not coming before it.
Are you able to access recovery mode? If yes, try to do a full wipe.
EDIT: Try to Kill all process of Kies, and see if Odin recognize your phone
No, it's stuck on this screen. i can't put it in Download mode. Even if i start it: Volume Down+Home+Power this screen is coming.
ODIN can't recognize the phone.
Ouch, I see repartition and a PIT file, that usually means the phone is really dead; a job for the service centre.
Which guide did you use?

On the first flashing (after which it became like this) i didn't do repartitioning and didn't use PIT file. Just selected PDA file.

I tried to follow following guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108499.
Did
1) Turn off your phone. Unplug it from your computer etc
2) Hold down home, power, and volume UP. This will enter recovery mode. If you are using CF-Root, you'll get CWM recovery. If not, you get stock recovery. It doesn't matter which appears.
BUT phone is not going into recovery mode.

I think that you need to leave the phone to Service Center.
The thing is that the phone was bought in another country, so there is no warranty in my country for it. That's why i'm searching for solution myself.

I had a problem weeks ago with my phone too. Tried a lot of things and nothing fix the problem. But when i was losing hope, i found the solution by myself.
My problem was only IMEI number and i recovered it. I think that your best choice is read a lot before take some decision. And the most recommended choice is leave the phone to Service center.
Good luck!
Maybe JIG will be useful to put the phone into DOWNLOAD mode?
P.S. : I am keeping going to Service Centre options as a last resort.
If there is any way to get Odin to recognize your phone there is still hope. Try to get into download mode in all possible ways, sometimes it seems lost but suddenly you get in. Make sure Kies is not running in the background.
If you cannot get into download mode, even with a jig, and Odin never recognizes the phone, it is a job for service centre or JTAG or something, but not yourself.

OK. I made very big mistake in the begining. the phone model was i9100g and i flashed it with i9100 firmware. that's seems the cause of the hang.

Finally, Alhamdulillah, i solved my problem of i9100g flashed with i9100 firmware. First to go out from "phone - yellow label - computer" mark i flashed it with i9100g original kernel Kernel_I9100GDZKI1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276105&page=3. after that it became possible to put the phone into download mode. after that i flashed it with ODIN USING PIT FILE FOR OMAP4 from the same forum and with i9100G new firmware. and that's all, phone is working again.

I use heimdall personally. Never had any problems with it. Do you have all the sgs2 drivers installed?
Also check md5 sums to make sure your download is ok.
Sent from my SGH-I777
I'll try heimdall. Drivers should be fine as kies is installed. Rom should be good as I've tried 2 different download sources
Make sure you install the libusb drivers for heimdall before flashing. The instructions are in the heimdall readme. Good luck
Sent from my SGH-I777
Just wanted to post that my problem is solved.
Summary: My AT&T Galaxy SII showed an error on boot (software upgrade failed. connect to kies...). Kies wouldn't even recognize the device so that route was a no go. So as everyone's recommended method of last resort, I decided to flash the device back to stock via odin. I entered download mode (volume up + volume down and plug in usb) and Odin would recognize the device, I would load the stock rom in the PDA slot and hit start and it would begin normally, but it would always fail after a few seconds on 'NAND write start', or 'factoryfs.img'. So I got a 1 click download solution using odin for reverting my phone back to stock. Same thing, it would recognize the phone, but stall out and fail. I also tried flashing clockworkmod via odin but and same problem. People recommended I try heimdall. It would recognize my device, and then fail after 'kernel 100%'.
I tried both programs on 3 different computers, and must have tried 12 different USB slots amongst all of them. I'm fairly handy with this stuff and I worked for hours on it.
xtra info: I had successfully used odin on my computer to flash a kernel just a week ago so I know my stock usb cable was working etc...
Resolution: So I hung my head and drove to the ATT store. After pressing a few buttons on the device and not getting anywhere they sent me to a nearby Device Support Center. I told the girl at the counter that my phone booted to this error screen and that connecting it to Kies did nothing. She asked if it was ok that in the case that she couldn't fix it she would offer me a replacement. I said that was fine and after 10 minutes in the back room she came out with a replacement (free of charge).
Well that was the good news. For the bad news, unfortunately I still don't know how to fix the problem I had, and don't really know how to avoid it in the future. I thought phone's could only get truly bricked if you messed with PIT files and such. There didn't seem to be anything more I could do than flash with odin or heimdall as those were already last resorts. I know I had the right files, the right drivers, and working usb. No matter how crazy I got with my iphone, a full restore was only a click away by plugging in to iTunes. Somehow I messed up my phone so bad that even the device support center couldn't fix it....? Shouldn't have had to be like that.
Thank yous: Thanks to ATT for having a walk-in store and for so easily offering up a replacement. Thanks to the many people on the web who offered remedies.
tl;dr - phone broke, att replaced, still a mystery

[Q] Only able to get to download screen - Not showing in Odin or Kies

I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer to my problem.
GT-I9100 (Sprint)
I hate to admit I am somewhat of a noob. But pretty good at following instructions. I tried to install ics using Odin.
PDA –—> I9100_CODE_I9100XXKPA_CL51925_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Phone –—> MODEM_I9100XXKPA_REV_02_CL1094591.tar.md5
CSC –—> GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXAKPA.tar.md5
The first instructions I read din't say to do the pit file. So I didn't. I have read later that I should have. The process failed. And when I restarted the phone I can only get to the download screen. When I try to get to recovery I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I also get the same message if I simply plug the usb into the phone while off, before any buttons are pushed.
Neither Kies or Odin recognize the phone anymore. I've tried different USB ports, a different computer. And I've hooked up a friends AT & T Galaxy S2 and it's recognized fine. Neither computer I've used even makes the beep when you hook up the phone.
The short is since it connected before the flash, and the other phone is showing I'm confident it's not PC related. But not being able to get anywhere besides the download screen has my hands tied to do anything else.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! And I have searched all over and can only find similar problems that turn out to be PC related.

Firstly... Being from Sprint... Are you 100% SURE that you have the GT-I9100? What does your device look like? Does it have a middle "hard button" at the bottom?
Product Name
It shows:
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9100
at the top of the download screen. There are the four buttons across the bottom. Not what I call physical buttons, because they don't move. I guess they would be called soft buttons below the screen.
You don't have an I9100 and are in the wrong forums.
Do you know what I have then?
Probably http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
But you might want to check under your battery before blindly flashing stuff for the wrong device.
open odin look that kies process is not runing on the background.
Try to boot your phone the message from firmware upgrade failed will come on the screen, when you're on this screen plug yor phone it will be recognized on odin, then leave it plugged in and shutdown the phone and get on download mode it will be recognized
last flash stock firmware complete i always use the XXKI3 with pit file, all of this if u phone is gt i9100
this was what i did, have the same problem in a bad flash of stock GB firmware (2 days ago) same screen and same problem, doing that (read it on a post somewhere) helped me
I was wrong. Its not the i9100. Its the galaxy s2 epic touch. Yeah.... Im kicking myself now. I did try what you said and it didnt work. I posted in the correct thread and was told im bricked.

aw that sucks! i guess you have to buy an usb jig now! Dont worry, its cheap and very usefull it also resets your flash counter
Can you point me in the direction of where to get a USB jig?
Just figured out what the USB jig does. Wont work for me. I cant take the phone back. I cancelled my plan with sprint. I use this phone as a second device. I may have to do JTag... But its going to be $50.

[Solved]Help Required!! Suspecting Brick :(

Hello,
I am new to the S2 forum. I have purchased the phone on Dec 04. It came with firmware version 4.0.4.
The PDA was I9100XWLPW and CSC was I9100ODDLPC.
After a week, I flashed the leaked JB firmware XXLSJ and used PhilZ cwm6 kernel to obtain root.
I was not having any problems until today.
I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!
Edit: Samsung service has replaced the mother board!!
Doing the pit partition has resulted in my phone getting bricked!!
So people new to the forum, never do it :laugh:
Hi,
You said you couldn't access download mode, but can you access CWM recovery?
If you can then, you should wipe data/factory set, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik-cahe. after that you should re-flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, maybe you should restore your CWM/Nandroid backup of your ROM before you flashed the JB leak XXLSJ, which in this case seems to be Stock ROM. (providing that you have backed it up in the first place)
Greetz and Happy new year

You said you couldn't access download mode, but can you access CWM recovery?
If you can then, you should wipe data/factory set, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik-cahe. after that you should re-flash your ROM.
If that doesn't work, maybe you should restore your CWM/Nandroid backup of your ROM before you flashed the JB leak XXLSJ, which in this case seems to be Stock ROM. (providing that you have backed it up in the first place)
Greetz and Happy new year

HI,
today I wake up with the same problem.(Bug from the junary 1st???). I'm on Leak 4.1.2 too
Mi Galaxy sII don't charge the batery (loop from charge batery symbol) All the combination button don't wake up the phone.
The only thing seem working is the download mode. Don't try to connect to ODIN for the moment.
Any idea?

Hello,
I am new to the S2 forum. I have purchased the phone on Dec 04. It came with firmware version 4.0.4.
The PDA was I9100XWLPW and CSC was I9100ODDLPC.
After a week, I flashed the leaked JB firmware XXLSJ and used PhilZ cwm6 kernel to obtain root.
I was not having any problems until today.
I was using the phone normally, it had about 60% battery. Suddenly it was not waking up ( The phone was not used for about 15min ). I tried removing the battery, all button combinations but was not booting normally or into recovery. I could get into the download mode by plugging the phone to the PC. Odin failed to flash the official FW and the JB leak. I followed the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458 and found out it was a corrupted NAND r/w function.
I tried doing all the steps given in the thread. Now my phone does'nt go into the download mode and does'nt show charging when plugged to a power source.
Can I recover my phone?
Please someone help me or guide me to a previous post that solves this problem!!

We already have plenty of topics about this why do you feel the need to create another? Your symptoms are no different to others and the answers are no different.
If you cant access download or recovery and cant power on then try a USB jig. If that doesnt work then you will need to take/send it for repair which will either be JTAG or complete mobo replacement.
Just because you create your own topic it doesnt mean answer is going to be any different.

If you can access download mode, use it. Try re-flashing your kernel.

I am sorry!! I am new to this forum and the phone being a recent purchase, i was very much desperate!!
I know the answer may not be different and the problem may not be new hence I've asked to guide me to the appropriate thread in my post!! No offence!!
Thanks for your reply. I will be taking the phone to Samsung Service tomorrow.

3 100k resistors + 1k resistor in series connected between 4 and 5 pins of a male usb end when plugged will get you into download mode in case of soft bricks .

In some of the posts, I've read that a JIG may not work on ICS based roms!!
Is this true?? Should I try a JIG first before I take the phone to Samsung Service??
I was on XXLSJ before the phone went dead!!

I had the same problem.. I could get into the download mode by:
1. Phone completely OFF state
2. Connect the USB cable to the phone and PC ( The battery charging indication has to come, atleast once )
3. Fire up ODIN
4. Get the phone into download mode ( Vol-down+home+Power ) while the phone is connected
5. The phone is now recognized by ODIN.
I could flash a kernel (tried siyah and Philz) but the phone was not booting.
While trying to flash Stock and XXLSJ, ODIN was getting failed at factoryfs.fs
After a few trys, the phone just went dead!!
Hope you can flash a firmware successfully :good:

You are misinterpreting what you read. What you're referring to is resetting the binary counter, and no it doesn't work on ICS bootloader however it still works for putting device into download mode (unless its bricked).

"Soft-brick" has absolutely no meaning, Your device is either "bricked" or it isnt. Its a made up term by n00bs when they cant get system to boot normally. Your devcie is only bricked when it wont power on or go into useable recovery+download modes. If you can simply use a jig or go directly into flashing a rom then your device is not bricked.
The "bricked" term is used far too loosely nowadays.

Your phone died? you kiding ?
I'm using the leak version of Sammobile since 3 weeks... Why do you think the phone make a bad reaction now? why now?
Ok, you try to flash OFW and don't result. and then you flash again the XXLSJ ? and the phone colaspe?
What kind of roms do i flash? OFM or CFW ? ICS or JB ?
Well if a can connect with ODIN of course
A quick question!!
Is it possible that the phone can be revived (put into download mode) using a JIG if it is not starting at all for any key combinations and it is not showing charging animation when plugged into a computer or a power source??

Yes its possible which is the reason we already mentioned to try it
It all depends on the actual base issue though as to whether it will work. Its worth a try either way though, They only cost £1-2 or you can make them yourself if you have the spare parts. (Don't ask how, Use search).
I have tried the JIG, but no luck!!
I have given the phone to Samsung Service.
Hope they fix it!!
Will they use JTAG or it has to be done somewhere else in case Samsung people refuse to do it??
They wouldn't refuse just act dumb tell something like you were updating firmware via kies and all of a sudden power went down and device bribed
