how to fix a phone in this state? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone recently "died" and when I plugged it back in, would only display the empty battery icon for a few seconds, then shut off. Thinking it was a dead battery, I've bought another one and now when I turn my phone on, it hangs at the Samsung boot screen. So I'm guessing the bootloader has screwed or something (preventing the battery from receiving charge too?)
I'm running the Resurrection 1.8.1 ROM, could someone please tell me how to get my phone up and running please!
I'm guessing ill have to flash something with Odin?
Only thing I can do on my phone is get into Download mode.
There's lots of stuff on my phone I really can't afford to lose, so I'm hoping the suggested fix(es) won't involve losing that data!
Thanks in advance

Try the cwm mount and save your stuff, Odin flash is the only way, and even than you need factory reset to boot it it will boot loop

Don't have CWM installed, what kinda flash would I have to do from odin?
I was thinking I could get away with just a bootloader flash?

You mean resurrection remix didn't had cwm? Asking cause Iv never used it.
You can try flashing same version of resurrection remix without wiping.

Cool might try that then. How do I do that via odin? I only have the main rom zip.
Thanks

you cant flash custom rom zip files via odin. so your best bet is to flash the official rom on wich the rom U used is based.
you could also try to flash only CF kernel via odin, try to boot to recovery and then flash the ZIP of your custom rom.

You can flash LiteningROM via Odin though, right?
Also (dumb question) do you know what official ROM Resurrection Remix v1.8.1. is based on?

[Q]CwM Recovery Won't Stick!!

I am having an issue with flashing CWM via Odin and keeping it there. I flash CWM via ODIN, I've tried 3 diff versions of CWM , Red One, Voodoo (blue one) and the 3.0.0.8 via rom manager (orange one) each time i flash one, i can boot into after flashing it via ODIN, but when i reboot the phone. CWM is gone and its back to the factory samsung recover "for all devices" nonsense. I have been able to obtain root by flashing via the SU zip method and I have root, i just can't flash a rom b/c cwm wont stick....any ideas? search returns nothing!
Thats because you need a modified kernal for cwm to stick.
Here is the modified stock kernal for a froyo rom. put this in the pda function of odin.

did you odin a cwm recovery after the modified stock kernal?
Make sure your battery is removed when entering download mode to flash cwm via odin.
Once it shows successful, remove the cable.
insert battery and immediately enter cwm using the 3 finger method.
Flash a custom stock kernel.
choose "reboot system now"
let the system boot up.
then boot back to cwm recovery and flash your rom of choice.

unflashable P7500!!!! can't flash any custom rom.

help me out guys, i can't flash any custom rom.all i can get to is, the first boot, that says Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, i don't even pass into the boot animation, help me out, all i can flash is stock rom and via odin, help me out guys,
Hmmm. Do you wipe data/cache/dalvik after flashing?
i do wipe everything BEFORE flashing, but i did tried to wipe cache/dalvik after flash, i did everything, i waited for 30mins for it to boot, i also flashed a rom that worked for me, but it still goes stuck on galaxy logo, all i can do is a nandroid backup and flash a stock rom via odin. help me out guys, don't know what to do with it.

You mean that it used to work and now it doesn't?
let me elaborate it, so everything was working, i can switch to different roms, i'm actually on Toldo's Jellybean version 6, so what i did was update to the latest version to version 7, and that is where this started, all i get from it is on galaxy tab logo, so what i did was go back to stock and tried to reflash it again, ( i did install cwm and root, of course ) and it still persist, so i did was flash a rom that i know is working for me, tried 2 roms that used to work for me but no luck, what happen to my tab? did version 7 of jellybean rom have to do with it? i did a normal wipe. and i know what i did with it, so what happen?
and now kies don't recognize my phone for update, what happen to my tab??????????
I really don't know... Did you ask in the rom's forum? Listen, try to use a pit file with odin and start over!
http://www.mediafire.com/?7obe8a5ne0tgc4p
can you please give an instruction? what do i do with it? re-flash my stock rom and this pit??

Tab in download mode, just like you flash a rom. But use only the pit file and put it in the pit section in odin! After the flashin is complete, then put the tab in download mode again and flash the rom!!
if i may ask? what do the .pit file do?
and should i wipe it before installing the stock rom?
btw, thanks for shedding some light, if this does not work, well gonna stick with ics stock rom

pit repartitions the tab. Flash it, then close odin, then fire it up again and then flash stock ics.
oh my................ dude, i had a heart attack on this one, i did was wipe the tab, then do pit file, and then tab restarts back to download mode, then flash stock rom, then it like hang on the samsung logo after the boot animation, so i did was reflash rom and it magically says pass. is that okay??
Well, if it finally boots up, yes!
well i thought that will solve the problem, but i can't still flash any custom roms, so anyone have an idea???????????????????????
Did you tell your story to toldo? Maybe he can help!
i can't actually post on the thread, because of i'm a new member, but i pm'd him, he told me to go back to stock and just reflash v7, i did that just now after the repartion of .pit file. but no luck, oh my, i'm running out of patience here, saw a thread about unflashable gs2, but don't know where to find the bootloaders, kernel, phone and csc for the tab, or that's in the tar file already on stock rom?
They are indeed in the stock.tar
is there anyway i can put my tab into a full stock?? i mean back on state where i like first bought it? maybe that's the only way to make it work? if now, well i need to face the stock roms.
Well maybe flash a honeycomb rom from www.sammobile.com??
i did that too, no luck, ohhh. am i the only who encountered this?

I bricked my phone and I can only boot into download mode. I need a rom which I can flash using odin. Is there a way to use odin to install roms in zip format or do I need a rom in .tar or .md5? If so, could you give me a link for a rom in md5/tar format.?

Thanks, but just to make sure I understand this right (I have the same problem) .. this will put the stock ROM on my phone, then I will have to root again, and then use CWM to put a custom ROM?
Is there a rooted ROM that can be flashed using Odin? I'm not too pick on JB or not, it will be replaced anyway.

No need to flash stock rom.
Just flash Siyah kernel (.tar) via ODIN (This will give you custom recovery) then wipe data and flash custom rom of your choice. It will come pre-rooted and with its own custom kernel which you can then replace with Siyah again or other kernel of your choice.

when u have problem like this the best way is to flash a 'Stock ICS v4.0.3' firmware on ur phone using 'ODIN' to have a clean flash and booting of ur phone
then u can simply flash the tar version of 'Siyah kernel v4.1.5/5.0.1' again from 'Odin' in dwnld mode to automatically root ur phone and install latest CWM recovery, which can be used to install the custom rom of ur choice

He has no need to do that. As I said above all he have to do (If they want custom rom) is flash kernel like Siyah via download mode then flash custom rom in recovery. No need to flash stock unless thats the rom you want.

And that is exactly what has been advised. What's your point?
The user only has access to download mode so is assuming he has to use download to flash rom. It sounds like he isnt aware that he can easily restore his recovery via flashing a kernel. It also sounds like the user wants to use a custom rom otherwise he would already know that he can flash stock via download.
This is why its been advised to flash kernel via download instead of rom. That way once he has his recovery back he can simply reboot into cwm and carry on where/how he wishes like for example flashing his normal/preferred rom via zip like usual.
Read this thread again and see if he can actually perform a kernel flash just to get to cmw so he can go flash a stock rom.
Here's the answer: yes he could.
now...wouldn't it be better if he flashes a stock rom, take a long breath as he realizes he's not bricked (read the topic) and then flas a stock rom when he's sure about giving it another try?
read beyond the words kid, beyond the words
TheATHEiST said:
No.
He has no reason to flash a stock rom unless he specifically wants a stock rom. If he does then yes he can simply flash stock rom as normal but its my guess that he wants a custom rom since he was asking how he can flash a ZIP.
If that is the case then flashing a stock rom (.tar) would be a complete waste of time and it would be much quicker to simply flash kernel like Siyah and reboot into recovery and then even restore a backup if he has one or just flash a rom zip from card.
Oh and stop trying to sound patronizing, I'm 30 years old and no "kid".
@ OP
If you want a stock rom then read one of teh many topics we already have on stock roms/how to flash them.
If you want to use custom ones via cwm then simply flash Siyah kernal and then reboot into recovery and then do as your normally would.

[Q] do i need to flash an older rom before flashing to kitkat

Hi, i'm new in these things so have a few questions.
Iwould like to flah thecyanogenmod but my galax 2s syas it is not a gt-I9100.
So i read some things about removing the assert line from a script and so on.
Do i need to flah an older rom before the cm11 nightly?
Do i need to flash the kernel first? or just use the latest cwm? (or rom manager/clockword?)
Can i reflash the S2 with an cyanogenmod kitkat version after i flashed it with an other kitkat rom for this device?
(still i did not succed to flash any rom to it)
thanks for any help !

First of all check if it g version or not.
To best of my understanding you can install it directly as far as you are rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
You don't need to flash an older version before KK. You just need KK compatible recovery. Or you can flash a KK compatible kernel, reboot to recovery and flash your KK rom.
Hello, thank you both for your replies.
Finally some clear answers
The model says GT-I9100 and not with g behind it, thanks.
I found some things about the status 7 error and about removing some line in a script in the zip.
So i will try the kitkat recovery (in my understanding this is also the kernel?) and then flash it with kitkat rom.
I would like to flash the one from cyangenmod, but doe it really mather which custom kitkat rom i take? At least they are all without the providers code like Vodafone or others?
Thanks again. I will update the thread if it succeeds or not.
Hi,
so i could not install the latest Recovery_CWM_6.0.4.7_I9100.zip as it gave an error E: signature verification failed.
then i tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip and this works. But with this i can't install CM11. as i get the status 7 error.
So i will try some other versions kitkat compatible.
I also took a look at the kernels section but it is not clear wich one to use for CWM6 as i don't know what XXLSR or DDLS3 means, and which is correct for Netherlands.
Do you have any idea? (i am not allowed to post there yet)
Thanks for your help.
For choice of kernel -
1. Gustavo's - I don't remember the version. Check the op.
2. Dorimanx - you can try 10.43v100.
3. Apollo - 7.0b Cm
They will bring the KK compatible recovery you want on your phone. Then after rebooting to recovery you can flash any custom rom as they are not locked by any carriers.

If you are able to go back to download mode
1. Flash a stock rom via odin
2. Flash a custom kernel via Odin. You might find some in the link you put there or you can search for hirox kernel. Remember, you have to download Odin flash able kernel and follow the op.
3. Once you have custom kernel, reboot to recovery. Flash any of the kernels in clockworkmod mentioned in my previous post.
4. Reboot to recovery. Flash your rom.
If you are unable to go to download mode try all the methods mentioned in the below link to bring it back to normal. It will need patience and perseverance. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Thank you for your patience and your help Banjara.
This forum and it's people are 100 times better the on Gyanomed were totally no support is given...
I will try it and come back, at least the phone able to start in the download mode.
Probably the usb connector has some loose contacts as i can get no contact with pc.
I got this phone from my brother and he told me that it never worked, just loading the battery
So i tried an other cable from an cheap android pad, but also no luck
maybe tommorow, i have another cable from an android stick pc at my job, maybe it will work
else i have to open it to check the connector under a microscope and probably resolder(hotair) it with a lot of flux... what a pitty... :crying:
lucky i have some experience on it, i repaired a lot of qtek phone, some years ago, always that connector broken.
I'm originally an tv(crt,lcd,plasma) repair technician, but now on an other job
Pfew, i managed to rsolder the connector with help of the microscope on my job.
I could even connect to odin. so that's is good progression. i had a wrong kernel downloaded, so it failed.
now i have the correct one and will use Siyah-s2-v6.0b5.tar
But unfortunately the battery is really emptying quickly when it stays in the phone, i don't know why.
So i will have to charge it an then give it another try with this kernel.
The ROM should still be original as i did not flash it before, just the kernel.
The phone is now saying battery empty, can't download.
To be continued...
Jippieeee!
GREAT !!!!
It worked! flashed the kernel Siyah-s2-6.0b5 and it started ! :victory:
Now what is the best way to proceed, there are so many topics on this it is overwhelming.
Should i first flash a Kernel or first a rom?
Can i flash them right after each other? (kernel reboots) so ROM and directly Kernel in one go?
thanks for your help!
{SOLVED}
Ok this is solved, thank you guys and dolls !
i managed to flash the cwm 6++++ and then the OMNI kitkat (latest) and the gAPPs
and it is working ! i am verry happy ! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
:thumbup::beer::beer:
one more thing
i noticed there is also another kernel now in the phone.
How to get rid of the yellow exclamation mark?
i saw some footage on youtube how to do it with the correct kernel.
But can i also extract the kernel from the ROM.tar i used and flash it with Odin?
Or is there another way?
thanks for your help. ---> edit
ok found some here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/orig-development/30-10-2012-k-la-lp-t1103399

Now using the OmniKK nightly of 8th of june, it runs very smooth, no issues till now, all is working well. :good:

Im using twrp 3.0.2.1 and everytime i try to install a rom it stuck at samsung screen.
And it show md5 not found.
What roms have you tried? What firmware were you on before you started flashing? Sometimes newer roms need the newest firmware like the bootloader and modem to run correctly. Are you wiping system, data, and both caches? If you are going from a Touchwiz rom to, say, a CM based, it might also be necessary to wipe the internal storage. Of course you should back all that up to a PC first, if you do that.

How can install kernel after. Everytime i install it reboots its self to samsung screen. Or should go back to recovery and install the kernel back. And thank you for your help till now.
That's definitely why it's not booting, if you didn't do the kernel. If the rom has the Aroma installer, typically the last question asks if you want to reboot now and has a check mark in by default. Just uncheck and it'll go back to recovery. But you can also just go back and flash now and should be good.

Remove the battery for 10 seconds. Put it back in and reboot to download mode. Uncheck auto reboot. Flash then check auto reboot and flash again. Should stick.

Hi
I tried as said and it didnt chnge.
Can i ask bootloader should be at bl and modem should be at cp. Is it correct.
Hi
Thank you for your help.
I did the change on bootloader and modem.
Now im i need to know two more thing.
I download 2 dffernt kind of bootloader n modem.
I flash blxxxxxbpb1 and cpxxxxxboj1..this 2 files were tar.md5 files
Another one which i didnt flash. Blxxxxxxbpb1 and cpxxxxxxxbpb2..this 2 files are tar.tar files..
Can i know whats the different with this 2 files.
One more thing is when i chnge the bootloader and modem will the kernel changes. Or is it different.
Please guide me..im confuse.
Someone might have just mislabeled them. Flashing those will not affect kernel. Different partition of the phone.
Hi

After trying to install the darkwolf rom.it was still the same..it did not work.

This is the recommended kernel
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242687310
Recommended recovery is TWRP 2.8.7.0 not the newer 3.0+
Flash other recovery. Boot to TWRP. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik. Flash rom. Wipe caches. Flash kernel. Reboot. Should work according to lots of people on the thread for that rom.
Hi.
How flash kernel.
just flash the tar.md5 file or the tar.zip file
