[Q] Phone stuck at opening screen with warning sign

i tried rooting my samsung galaxy s 2 gt i9100G, i flashed the CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4 kernel using odin and everything was fine, when my phone restarted it was on the start screen with the yellow triangle at the bottom, i have rooted other samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100, but not the one with GT-I9100G, any idea what i should do now? i can go into download mode, but just cant start up
its a 1900 G model you need to check that the kernel you installed is compatible with the model G first .

Check this thread out for links to flash back the stock firmware with Odin. I did see a link posted for a chinese rooted kernel there as well, but be wary. You don't want a brick. Just concentrate on getting back stock working first, then go from there.

[Q] Stuck at Boot - Samsung I9100G

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.

Basics.... Reflash any custom rom with Odin. That will help.

Actually my friend sent me this kernel>>>CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LP1-v5.2-CWM5.tar
He told me to flash the kernel then only install custom...so I can directly flash the rom to my s2
by using odin???

Yes, download and flash new rom, Then you have guarantee your phone will boot up because after flashing kernel you might get bootloop too.

This is because you flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
# Quick question:
Is your phone on Gingerbread, Android 2.3.x or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), Android 4.0.x?
# If your phone is on ICS, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: www.gokhanmoral.com/public/files/siyahkernel/v3.0/Siyah-v3.5.2.tar
# If your phone is on Gingerbread, then download and flash this kernel via Odin: gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar

Thanks for that.
I have the I9100BVLPH stock ROM from T-Mobile UK on my phone so I downloaded the correct Chain Fire kernel (CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5.tar) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 and this caused the phone not to boot.
Thanks for the link to Siyah, I used the v4.1.5 kernel and it worked great.
Hello there.
I'm in a bit of a trouble so I need some help. I've bought an S2 for my wife from a guy (in Ireland).
The phone was locked on Vodafone so I tried to root it maybe I'll be lucky to unlock it with out paying nothing. So, the phone is on Gingerbread with a BUKJ3 kernel. I've downloaded last night a CF root but by mistake I took a KG3 instead of KJ3. After flashing with Odin 1.85 I got stuck on the boot screen with the yellow triangle.
This morning I've downloaded another kernel as in KJ3 flashed with Odin, the phone is starting but no network coverage, I tried with different Sim cards but nothing so I went in recovery mode and wipe/format data, system, dalvik and cache as factory reset as well. Since that moment the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the boot screen and yellow triangle.
I can go in recovery mode and download mode with no problem but I can't make it start.
I reflashed the kernel, I don't know what to do and tomorrow is my wife's birthday and I was trying to surprise her with a nice phone but instead looks like she is gonna get a brick ( I hope not)
Thank you guys for any help.
Go to sammobile and get something like unbranded XWLP7 stock rom....flash via odin
Then use rachmats ics rooting guide
Backup efs folder and make nand backup
Then get unlock app(by helroz or chainfire)

Thank you for the reply. I don't mean any disrespect but for the last 3 hours I'm looking over kernels and forum and my brain is really wired now maybe.
I've had a look at sammobile but I can't find what you've recommended. A more specific link will be more than helpful.
Thank you very much anyway. If I'm getting advises it means I didn't bricked the phone so I might be able to fix it.
Once again thank you.
You just go to sammobile,then register,then firmware and files,then put the info in the 4 fields
eg
Smartphone
Android
Gt-i9100
Then uk/ire XEU (or vodafone or whatever..but unbranded better)
Then youll see a list about firmware version and their release date
Eg
Lpt 4.0.4 ics jul 2012
Lp7 4.0.3 ics apr 2012
So download lp7 4.0.3 and flash with odin.
Then use the rooting guide in my sig
Then do the other things I said.

Thank you very much. In the mean while I've managed to find exactly what you've said in your answer. I've choose the gingerbread version of the ROM cause that was what the phone had when I've bought it.
SO, now is it safe to go on ICS like I did half an hour ago with that Gingerbread rom?
Thank you and sorry about the noob question, never used an Samsung, only HTC.
Yeah just do what I said.......not what you think!.

Did it, thank you very much. The phone start but somehow I've lost my IMEI number and base band. I must be really unlucky.
I've read that Odia can help in this matter but if anybody has any idea, I'll be happy to make a donation for getting back the IMEI number.
Once again thank you very much.

It's always about read read more.... And don't flash anything unless you are 100% sure...

People contact Odia when theres a problem with their efs folder/no backup.
But you should have a backup and a nand backup.
I had the same problem yesterday and I restored efs folder/restored nand backup.....which got it back.
So try that or theres a thread about "restore imei in 9 easy steps".

I know I was stupid enough not to read before flashing, but now it too late to think about that.
the thing is I've never used a galaxy phone until these days and I wasn't aware of all this things and I don't know how to restore this NAND backup IF I have one, as I didn't make any backup before flushing. I hope I'll get some help from somebody and as I've said, a nice donation will be on the way to the helper.
Try GSII repair app.But you have to be rooted.

[Help] Galaxy s2 GT-I9100P Soft Brick?

Heya guys!
I am a complete noob,and obv didn't spent enough time understanding the process,but please help and I promise I won;t be that stupid ;p
What I did :
Install Drivers,Odin,download CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5 kernel which seemed like the one for my phone.
Flashed it and it looked like there was no error,but the phone didn't restart automatically. It can go into download mode,but I am not sure what to do from there,completely lost and panicking. And the worst thing I forgot to do a backup.
Unleash the flame but please help. :fingers-crossed:
What you installed was probably not for your device and hence the bootloop.
Download a stock firmware for the i9100P model from sammobile.com (4.0.3 to avoid the emmc bug) and flash via Odin. That should get your device back to life to start with.
Once you've done so follow the procedure in this link to get rooted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Good luck

Hey friend first of all which phone you are using its s5830i or s5830 ? any one of them just download latest firmware of which model you have from sammobile and flash it in proper steps via odin make sure the stuff you will need it must be that's model only otherwise it will brick your phone :thumbup:
Hit Thanks if I Helped
If U Flash Or S5830 Rom On S5830i That Means U Have Brick. If U Have Warrenty U May Give Them And Say It Became Like This When I Turned Mah Phone At Morning. Hit Thanks If Mah Advice Was Good
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda premium
Download the official Firmware from samfirmware and then try.It may works
Reflashing the firmware for your EXACT model number should do the trick. (if you can't boot into download mode then try to flash when you have the screen with the triangle and the PC)
