[Q] Sgs 2 bricked/not detected as samsung device - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i hope you can help me.
So i was on Resurrection 2.1 rom, and my phone wasn't charging properly. That's why i decided to flash the stock ICS rom from Samsung.
I flashed it with Odin, and when it said "Passed" i lifted up my SGS 2 and Odin said "Fail".
Also my 32gb micro sd card broke. When i connect it to my pc, my pc laggs and the card is not recognised.
Now when i try to boot my phone there is a computer connected to the phone with a big yellow triangle.
It says: "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I couldn't flash again with odin because it is detected as an unknown device and not as Samsung device.
I could not find the recovery mode in Kies..
I really hope u can help me with my phone and sdcard issue.

I suggest trying a usb jig to force it to download mode or send it to samsung service center buddy. I have read a problem similar to this and they sent it to samsung service center, dunno if they recovered it them selves.

i can get into download mode without a jig but its not recognised as a samsung device, so i could use odin. -.-

Try uninstalling and reinstall kies. If it does not work try different usb ports. It worked for me. I used one port then after that i tried using the same port but it didn't recognize it anymore. I tried a different port and it did get recognized eventually. Try the different usb port first.

Hi, I don't know if anyone still reads this thread but I my SGS2 is also bricked and I can't seem to find a solution. I was trying to flash the latest resurection rom up from 4.0.3 and during the final reboot it went dark and never cam back. The computer recognizes a usb device being plugged in but does not recognize the drivers. I've tried different USB ports to no avail. Because it won't recognize it I can't get it into download mode which means I can't unbrick it. Any ideas? Thanx!

[Q] USB jig to still use samsung warranty?

Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry

Ok i will try that and get back to you
Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

Not actually true. It just needs to be a working micro USB cable. I use a generic micro USB cable (originally for a BlackBerry, I think) for all my flashing. Works fine.
this doesnt work guys, iv tried 3 different usb cables. nothing is happening it just wont connect. is it a way of installing a usb driver for my phone so it will reckonise my phone??

Yes i tried all that with no luck i just cant get my phone connected to my laptoo if i could I
could unbrick
Check for Windoze updates if you're unable to get your PC & phone to recognise each other after trying the obvious (different USB ports, different cables, different versions of Odin, making sure Kies/its processes aren't running in Task Manager on PC. Try *all* of these).
This has solved the issue for a few people over the last week or so. Failing that, uninstall Kies from your PC, reboot, redownload it, reinstall it, reboot & try again.
If that doesn't work, try a different PC.

This method not required to connect your mobile to PC.
Just need external sdcard and ics based recovery
If you are ics recovery version , we can come from this issue.
1, download any ics ROM ( stock based ) and copy to your external sdcard.
2, root the mobile using this way
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
[GUIDE] ROOT/UNROOT Stock ICS Firmware without flashing unsecure kernel
3, as per the above guide once you flashed cwm.zip , you will get cwm based recovery screen.
4, wipe system and cache
5, install the custom ROM from external sdcard
I believe this method will work for you.
All the best

I believe it won't since he bricked his device and can't even start the phone.
Do what MistahBungle said + make sure that you install Kies first so that you have the proper drivers for Odin.
i have tried this methed. copied all the files on to the sd card, inserted back into the phone put into recovery but would not read external sd card only internal comes up????
That's nice.
Now have you tried the other suggestions that have been made ? If your phone & PC can't/won't recognise each other, you need to fix that first. Forget about CW not working. It's not relevant. You're not going to fix this without an Odin flash and making that happen should be your focus/priority.

I'm having the same issue today, i flashed the siyah kernel beta and now recovery doesn't work and phone stays on Samsung logo.
I can get into download mode but pc says unrecognised device . It was working fine a few days earlier.
Unfortunately my Samsung USB cable appears to have vanished too but I don't see why my other cable shouldn't work as long as it supports data? Maybe the cable is the issue though??
Might be. Try the (many) suggestions on the first page. Any one of those could be/resolve the problem. In addition to those suggestions, you can also try uninstalling Kies on your PC, rebooting, re-downloading it, reinstalling it, rebooting & then seeing if your PC & phone recognise each other.
But definitely try those other suggestions first.

This is definitely NOT a cable issue. I have the same problem, and i too was using Siyah. It's something with the kernel.

You will need all the files, make sure Keis is not messing with Odin so check to make sure it's not running on the PC.
Have had this happen to me - keep the files safe and you will fix pretty much any brick u manage to do. Mine was in CM9 - dropped and battery fell out had to do the full repair job to fix.

wanted to unroot phone with mobile odin but it got worse

I really need help, please don't ignore this thread.
I wanted to unroot my phone to send it to samsung service so that they repair my nearly defect mini-USB port.
I reseted the counter and removed the triangle successfully. Then, because I can't connect the phone to Odin on PC
I decided to install mobile Odin and unroot it by flashing a stock ROM. And now I am stuck at the Galaxy S2 logo without
recovery so that I atleast restore from a backup. I can't even connect the phone to Odin on PC.
please help me!!!
Can you still go to download mode? If you can, then please flash a stock firmware/rom right away.
If you can't enter download mode, then a USB jig might be of great use to you

As you're rooted you have CWM app right?
Can you open that and choose reboot in recovery?
Or maybe try flashing the firmware again.

My problem is that I can't even boot the phone.. I can only boot in download mode but the usb-port is damaged and odin won't recognize the phone... But if I send it to repair, the triangle is away and counter reseted, they must replace the usb-port and flash a firmware so they are not going to be able to see the phone rooted or am I wrong?

Mmmm not sure what steps a service centre will take to repair your phone. Perhaps your usb port has a bad connection as the pc knows something is connected to it, it just doesn't know what. Have you tried cleaning it gently with a toothbrush and a different usb cable?

Well, I have this experience while flashing my friend's phone and here what I've done:
-reboot my computer
-connect the phone, kill all kies related process (I'm using Windows) and start odin. If odin recognise your phone at this point, you are good to go else you might want to reinstall usb drivers.
-use full wipe odin files I found from internet (I got from the pirate bay with search key ics full wipe)
-got few files in that folder. Hope you know their function. Or you can ask here.
Hope this helps.

If Odin adds and removes quickly, this looks like your USB cable is dead, try flashing with another - Genuine- one
I had a similar issue while flashing my former SGS1: flashing process interrupted suddenly at 50%
A similar kind of thing happened to my phone as well when I was upgrading to 4.0.4 from gingerbread via Kies. The installation got stuck when the phone was in the download mode and I had no other option than to disconnect. But yours got stuck while using Odin. I would suggest you to flash the firmware again. I hope your phone goes into download mode now. As for the drivers, uninstall everything related to samsung from your PC and then reinstall it. DO NOT UPGRADE SAMSUNG KIES IF IT ASKS YOU TO DO SO! AS I TOLD YOU A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO MY PHONE. MY PC COULD'NT RECOGNIZE IT AND I REINSTALLED EVEYTHING AND IT FINALLY SHOWED SOME SIGN. MAKE SURE YOUR ANTIVIRUS IS FULLY DEACTIVATED WHILE YOU EXECUTE THE FLASHING OPERATION!

first of all, while your phone is disconnected from USB cable, can you enter download mode?if no, then try to find someone that have JIG. else, as leech4 said, this might caused by your USB cable. OR might caused by your USB port of your PC. as i said earlier, try to repair your USB driver (not sammy USB driver, but your PC's usb driver). flash using ODIN, and kill kies services from task manager as kies will conflict with ODIN later. here i give you LSJ link(thanks to ApriliaM3) in case you don't have. extract the zip and use all the PDA, PHONE and CSC file. you can even use PIT to re-partition your system. (tested and proven to be working). good luck mate.:good:

Talk to Samsung not us.
Next time do some research into your model and info on how to flash it properley before jumping in and screwing your device up.

Wow, I suspect this kind of brick or what so ever others called it. I've read some where, and they talking about JIG. If what they mean is the same like what I understood from my electronic knowledge, then you have to find someone that have JIG to do further troubleshooting directly from your board, not via usb. Well, I'm just saying. You might want to seek for other solution first since it's your device.

are you into download mode first of all? if yes, then are the drivers installed on pc after connecting the phone in download mode? did you stop kies in the background? :good:

I thought keis needed to run for the drivers. Even when I try to connect to keis it won't detect though

As @sriram231092 said correctly you have to stop ALL of kies related processes.
The kies is important so your OS will have the required drivers so the device could be recognized.
After installing kies, make sure you do a reboot and then, just before you start ODIN close all the kies related processes.
I also suggest you run ODIN as admin if you're running win 7 or above.

hmm, I think it might be the USB cable, it doesn't detect even when I try to use mass storage. Have ordered a new yesterday.

Does device manager(DM) recognizes your device ? try to uninstall drivers from DM and re-connect your phone.
I also suggest using back door input for your usb.

Solved!!
It was the cable that is sh*t, not the phone or the computer.
Cheers guys!
Great news!
Enjoy your soon-to-be-rooted S3

Try to restart your pc/laptop? Take out the usb cable, restart windows, stop kies, start odin, plug in usb and it should say added.
Ps: you only needed kies to install your phone drivers, so make sure it has installed the drivers, you can check by normally starting your phone, plug in usb and see a popup msg.

Cheers man!
Yeah, I am already loving it. Installed ARHD pretty much straight away.
I'm much preferring this phone to the one x I had, everything right down to the volume of the speaker I think is better.
Well it's great to hear
Actually I have 2 S3 at home the other one is my mom's, I've installed for her SAMMY based and I've got AOSP based kinda having the cake and eat it
