[Q] Mid-bricked SGSII? What am I supposed to do? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys!
First of all, I'd like to say Hi to everyone here, because it's my first post, even if i was seeking and reading forum earlier.
Okay, so from the beginning.
I got that phone from a girl who tried to unroot it and change FW. Now, the phone just boots, and stucks on the bootscreen, or goes to Download Mode, and:
1. I don't know what firmware it really is.
2. IMEI is still unknown, until tomorrow, i hope so.
3. I tried to flash everything, just EVERYTHING and:
- I can flash all kind of PIT files, hadn't tried with custom PIT's
- Also, I'm able to flash all kinds of bootloaders, but without any visible changes in phone
- I made my own JIG USB PLUG, but no matter how hard i tried, it didn't work (i'll try tomorrow with 301k, instead of 300k, but i think it's too small difference to work different)(+++ it didn't work even with older bootloader, even with two types of turning off the phone)
- Phone is recognized by system as Samsung Device, but after bootscreen stucking, it changes to an unknown device.
- Flashing kernel ends up with boot.bin and stucks
- Flashing other stuff ends up with NAND Write Start!! or zImage etc.
- I tried all versions of Odin.
I'm getting tired after 4 days, and nights of trying to rivive that screwsung (sry, i'm really mad )
So, again: What am I supposed to do? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
CU tomorrow!

Let's start with a model number. It'll be on the label underneath the battery.

Model number? You mean GT-I9100 or what? I thought it's obvious, so i didn't mention that...
+ I got the IMEI (I feel like an idiot, forgot it is sticked under battery) - first two digits: 35 (someone in some thread found it useful, so maybe it will be useful again)

Not so obvious, really. I've seen more people I can count who have different models of SII come to this forum and flash random I9100 stuff to their SGH-I777/SGH-I727/SGH-T989/SPH-D710/SCH-R760/whatever.
Anyways, if you can get to download mode, just try flashing an original Samsung stock firmware. I recommend 4.0.3 or earlier. You can download one from www.sammobile.com.
Also, you said you can flash all sorts of PIT files. What PIT files? If you happened to flash a PIT file NOT meant for an I9100, you may have screwed the pooch.

I mean, PIT files of the same type, but from different sources (each one was meant for an I9100)
I tried that one, stucks at NAND Write Start!!... Maybe I'm doing something in wrong order?
I need to go to sleep, really, I don't want to screw something up because of my tiredness. I'll be back in a few hours, and for the moment, thanks for help

I'd also make sure your cable is good, and is connected directly to a port on the computer instead of through a USB hub, or a port on your keyboard, monitor, or other pass-through port.

Hello again.
I've just came home, and first of all, I've tried a few wires, all original, two from Nokia, one from HTC, two from Sony Ericsson, all with the same result.
One thing I want to ask you is that i don't really know which thing i need to flash first, kernel or firmware.
As far as i know flashing ICS Kernel with Gingerbread firmware may cause softbrick, or even hardbrick.
I've tried everything you said and I'm still stuck.
Thanks for your replies.

Firmwares will contain a kernel. Thus, if you want a custom kernel, you would have to flash a firmware first, then the custom kernel. Otherwise, if you do it in the reverse and flash a custom kernel first, then the kernel contained in the firmware would overwrite the custom kernel.
And you are correct that you cannot use ICS kernels with GB, or GB kernels with ICS.
Try following the instructions in this thread for the original I9100 model: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458. They are the first two sets of instructions labelled "GINGERBREAD VERSION" and "ICS VERSION". I would try the ICS version first.

Any version of Odin should work fine, including 1.85, but I currently use Odin 3.04.

Odin is not recognizing my phone, v 3.04.
I'll try with older version.

Something is wrong with drivers, i'm reinstalling them, just a sec.

So you never answered about the USB port - are you plugged directly into the computer? Have you tried other direct ports on the computer yet?
Last resort is to try a different computer altogether.

I've got 3 USB ports (I'm using a laptop, also Samsung, if it matters), and tried all of them. Maybe I could be able to use PC tomorrow. Or i'll reinstall windows, because i'm using 64-bit version atm.
EDIT:
My father told me, that it could be broken "board to board header connector".. But i'm still trying!
EDIT2:
I've just had a small talk with samsung service manager, he told me that they had one phone that started to work after 24hours spent without battery. Seems a little bit silly, but why wouldn't i try?
EDIT3:
And so.. I'm loosing hope. JIG doesn't work, don't even turns on the phone. Kernel, or firmware can't be loaded at all.. I'm completely out of ideas.

Help - Bricked - NAND write fail

Hey Folks,
My phone is bricked. Here are the events before and after the crash.
Model: I-9100
I had installed CM10 ROM (ver. 25-Aug-2012) on my phone. It worked fine for a week and then while using the camera app, the phone froze. I restarted it, but it kept getting stuck at the boot logo. I could get into the download mode but not recovery. So I used ODIN to re-flash the same ROM, but ODIN got stuck at NAND write step. I tried it several times - changed the laptop - changed the cable - changed the ROM - nothing happened. Same thing, it either gets stuck at NAND or SBL.BIN.
I went through a lot of XDA pages and tried flashing the ICS stock ROM - same result - stuck at NAND/SBL. Tried both the 1-file and 3-file as well as the one with repartition (PIT) file. Nothing works. In case of repartition, it gets stuck at repartition step itself.
Also, over my last 5 tries the binary count is not changing. It is stuck at 13 and current binary shows as Samsung Official.
My warranty is not valid as I bought it in India but am in the US now. It's only 2 months old.
Summary: Download mode - Yes, Recovery Mode - No, NAND / SBL.bin fail, Stock ROM fail
Please help.
1) Have I hard bricked it?
2) Do I have to JTAG it? Any idea if anyone does it in Minneapolis? Or do I have to send it to "mobiletechvideos"?
3) I have a CWM recovery file on my external SD card. Is it of any use?

It doesn't seem like a hard brick so that is kindo of lucky! However I have never cime across anyone with that problem! Why don't you try using odin to flash latest siyah kernel then try entering recovery and wipe data+cache and re-flash rom, hopefully it will work!

I have had the same problem few months ago. Finally, I have managed to kill it when I tried to flash the bootloader - it got stuck at the beginning (just like with everything else that I tried to flash - ROMs, kernels...), no more signs of life (no charging, no download mode, nothing), andd after that Samsung service center replaced the motherboard. I think that's the only way, but you may try everything before you send it for repair. There's a thread in this forum dedicated to unflashable phones, try to get help there.

I hope it is not a warranty issue. I spoke to sammy (US), they said they don't cover warranty from outside US. (

But my phone is not dead. I am able to boot it into download mode. So I am guessing it is softbricked right? Also, i tried flashing Siyah kernel (latest and the one before). It updated the binary count. So the binary counter is not stuck as I had mentioned earlier. But it still got stuck at the NAND write step.
From what I understand, the kernel does change from "Samsung official" when I flash stock ROM to "Custom ROM" when I flashed Siyah and back to "Samsung official" when I re-flashed it. But it gets stuck after that. Any ideas why?
Thanks

Yes, I did. I tried all possible combinations. I even tried the GB ROM.
I also tried Heimdall. It still gets stuck at the same place as ODIN. In both, the Kernel gets uploaded and then it just gets stuck indefinitely. (Heimdall crashes after a while).
Couple of ques:
1) If my NAND memory is corrupt. Can JTAG fix this?
2) If JTAG can't fix this and I were to try getting it repaired outside warranty. How much will it cost? Do I have to replace the entire motherboard?

if I am not mistaken JTAG will give access to core, but I guess (but I am not a technician) that if the internal storage is corrupted and not even repartition helps, then I guess only replacing it might help.
I'd advise to watch out for a repaircenter near you and ask
Ok...so the phone is 2 months old.....
Purchased in India but being used in the US?.......
I don't care what Samsung says.....it sounds to me like they are trying to 'fob you off'. I personally would take this further. ....contact Samsung HO, contact your local trading standards department (or whatever it's called).
No warranty. ....that's just corporate bulls**t.......the age of the phone (if it can be proved) is what's important.....I think you have a very strong case here.....go with it.

Similar problem i9100T
I have the same problem in that the phone stops at nand write when attempting to install package. I can only get into download but it will flash a bootloader but that is all. I believe that it may be necessary to reload the .pit file but I cannot find where this would be found. I presume if this were included it would reinstall this and would fix the internal storage. Any advise on this would be gratefully received.

[Q] Telephone wont boot

Hi i've had CM9 in my phone for a half year now without any issues, however two days ago i woke up and went to check my phone, it froze and after that i haven't been able to boot it up, it just hungs at the samsung logo with the triangle and all that, so i've been trying to sort out this for two days straight now and i'm getting really sick of this, what i've done so far is:
* tried to flash alot of rom's and such with no success, stucks at: NAND Write Start!!
* tried to flash on a different computer
* tried to flash with different usb ports
Oh and i can't get into the recovery mode, only the download mode.

Hi i've had CM9 in my phone for a half year now without any issues, however two days ago i woke up and went to check my phone, it froze and after that i haven't been able to boot it up, it just hungs at the samsung logo with the triangle and all that, so i've been trying to sort out this for two days straight now and i'm getting really sick of this, what i've done so far is:
* tried to flash alot of rom's and such with no success, stucks at: NAND Write Start!!
* tried to flash on a different computer
* tried to flash with different usb ports
Oh and i can't get into the recovery mode, only the download mode.
This is the files i've tried to flash and such to get my phone working again:

Thanks, i've read that guide earlier and tried a few steps with no luck.
Is this what i should do?
"WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5
10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues "

no dont mess with that 'Bootloader' one ma8, there is one on how to use pit file look into that
look for this in that thread
Recovering a soft bricked phone
1) Grab the Recovery Package, and you'll see a bunch of .tar files. Take a look at the names. You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place.
2) Turn off your phone. Enter Download mode by presing Volume Down + Home + Power button.
3) Plug in your phone. It will show you, in a yellow box in ODIN, ID:COMx (x being the number displayed, sometimes displays 7, sometimes displays 9)
Now here, take a breath
First try flashing WITHOUT the .PIT and re-partition. And only if it DOESN'T WORK OR FIX then you flash with the .PIT and Re-Partition ticked.
4) Once ready and done all your prayers, press Start. Wait patiently. It usually takes 5 minutes to flash.
Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...
Congratulations on recovering your phone!

[Q]Can't boot into recovery, odin didn't recognise phone. What can I do?

Ok so last night my phone froze up while I was browsing the web (it froze just after rotating, if that's of any significance) so I held the power button down until it turned off. Trying to turn it on again, it just sat at the galaxy s 2 logo before any bootanimations etc start playing.
I thought I'd try to just re-flash the ROM (CM10 nightly 26/9/2012) and it seemed to just freeze up near the end of the flash, so I left it to do it's thing.
When I returned to the phone, it was showing me a kernel panic screen, so I held the power button to turn it off again and since then it won't boot into the ROM, it won't boot into recovery, and until just now it wouldn't be recognised by odin in download mode.
I had tried installing the USB drivers for the phone etc and it wouldn't work, however while writing this topic I just got a notification on my PC saying USB drivers had been installed and Odin seemed to recognise my phone, so I tried flashing cm9 resurrection, however it seems to be stuck. These are the messages in Odin, for reference:

and it's just been stuck there since I pressed start. There is no progress bar or anything on the phone either. Oh, and Odin's progress bar thing at the top just says "KERNEL" with a blank bar under it and "0:[com3]" with a yellow background below that.
Is it safe to unplug the phone and try again with a different USB cable?
EDIT: After trying different methods to recover it (with the same result from Odin):

Yes I have done it before. You just won't have a ROM on your device. Just put it back into download mode and try the kernel first before ROM.

Just tried this, getting the same thing, Odin gets the first "bar" in the progress bar completed and seems to get stuck. Same output as above.
When the first bar completes that (from what I remember) is just Odin unpacking the files to flash to device. Once it does that it checks that its on there properly which is by comparing md5, then it send a command to run the kernel.
Seems like your phone is unable to do even that.
You will have to consult someone with some more knowledge about this than me. You could have a corrupt data partition... but its honestly out of my league now lol. Sorry I couldn't help.

According to the output it gives me (in the OP) it does successfully check the MD5 though.
I'll admit, I haven't actually used Odin since I first rooted this phone (back in december last year) so I'm back to knowing basically nothing about how it works.
Yes it does confirm the md5
But after that it sends the commands to start running the new kernel (basically installing it on the device firstly)
Which is where it gets stuck.

Same issue with flashing those files.
I don't want to try the .pit because if it doesn't flash then I'll be pretty f*cked, right?
I would try what ever else you could find because if you get that guide wrong you could end up turning your phone into a paperweight. But if you so have to use the guide take note that you ahould try flashing the files WITHOUT .pit or repartition first. If that doesn't succeed than your last option is to use the .pit file and repartition.
Sent from Jelly Fuelled SGS2
I did try it, without the .pit/repartition as the guide says to try it without it first, but again, it won't flash anything (which is why I don't think I'll try the .pit/repartition)

Specifications of the phone:
samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 16GB

Ok, i've followed every step but the phone is still bricked.
i've noticed something else: i've tried some different packages and versions of odin, and when in download mode on the phone the custom binary download is saying Yes(5 counts) en the Current binary is changing from custom to samsung stock back and forth.

I updated the OP today, with an extra option for i9100 (which you have). It's flashing JB leak (stock ROM, 3 part firmware) via Odin, which will wipe your device as it flashes. Give it a go.

If you say you've 'tried everything' (which everyone always says), then it's a service centre job. What else do you want anyone here to say ? No miracle fixes. If it were me I'd keep trying, it's almost always something really simple/small/obvious that's causing the flash not to work, and as we're not there looking over your shoulder at what you're doing, it's going to be almost impossible for anyone to say what that is (you have 'tried everything' after all).

Maybe. No one can say for sure mate. If you motherboard is really borked, it would have to be replaced nevertheless.
Remember that Jtagging leaves marks on your device, so you can kiss goodbye any warranty u might have.

hey.. i had this problem too.. the only solution that i had is to use the galaxy note pit file and a stock rom for i9100 ... then the phone went back to normal ..but the memory went from 16 tb to 11.5 gb .. it was the only thing that made my phone work again..
i installed pit from galaxy note ..with and original stock firmware 4.1,2 then after install I did a factory reset via stock cwm and a clear cache ..and it worked.. a few bootloops and it went on:|

You got so ridiculously lucky that I can't comprehend that it worked. Please don't advise others to do the same, I'd say what you did is normally a recipe for a hard brick. Don't flash files for other phones, let alone a pit file for another phone. Yes I know the note has the same hardware as i9100 but you know what? It's not an i9100.
Edit: Look at what you posted in your other thread:

[Q] Stock Samsung SGH-i857 (Double Time)

Hello, I hope someone can help me out here, Samsung's online help sure wasn't a big help. Trying to get my hands on the stock image for the SGH-i857 a got a little over zealous trying to clear out some of the stock APKs and was hoping to roll it back to stock.
If you have a windows machine try downloading Samsung Kies with your DoubleTime connected. Try to update the firmware/software and it should revert it back to stock.
I do have an Odin flashable I can give you if that doesn't work, but I would compress it with 7zip in order to put it on the Forum.

I did try the kids method with no luck, I would love to try the Odin flash for the phone. If you don't feel like uploading it to the forums I'd be happpy to PM you my gmail.
Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3dj426vdav4nsp/I857UCKI1-I857UCKI1-I857UCKI1-HOME.tar.md5
I had to put it on Dropbox because it was so big.
It is recommend that you use Odin v1.85, this however is not tested. I might be testing it soon though.
To put a DoubleTime into download mode you need to hold the volume up and powerb button at the same time from a completely off state.
I wish you luck.
Has anyone found a way for fully flashing the double time to stock? I accidentally flashed an update.zip file from another phone and now wifi and bluetooth are not working. Hopes fast answers-

Man, i don't if you're up to date, but the double time has a firmware problem which conflicts with download mode and it's almost impossible to flash it. That's why my question, have you been able to flash? Please, i need help.
PD: i have the stock firmware and have used almost all compatible odin versions with this device without success.

They don't sell the Doubletime around here, so wouldn't have a way to be up to date with it. Why don't you describe what's happening via Odin when trying to flash instead of just saying it didn't work, which is not very helpful.

I didn't realize that the Doubletime was an ATT phone. Have never seen one or had one brought by my shop. *shrug* Is yours ATT branded or GoPhone? It's possible the firmwares aren't compatible between the different versions... Or that being of that vintage Samsung, maybe the program Heimdall might have more luck a la the Samsung Galaxy S 4g from T-Mobile.
Is the version you are trying to install as newer or newer than the current firmware found on the phone?
Tried different cords?
Different ports on the PC?
Does it show up once or twice in the COM boxes of Odin?
Are you running Odin as admin?
Edit: Found other posts on other forums where it gets stuck at the same step, so guess it's a thing. Found in both Chinese and Spanish phone forums.

-Odin always opens with admi rights.
-Yes, i've tried all ports on my pc.
-It's the same firmware.
-It shows just once in COM BOX.
Can you help?
Doesn't seem like there is a readily available solution, as your issue seems to be shared by others without any posted fix I could find here, or in the other phone forums. Sorry. Like I said earlier, you could try the Heimdall tool, but other than that, haven't the slightest. Older Samsungs suck because of issues like this - limited Odin support. Have you tried Kies too?
