Plz help me,
I was trying to root with siyah.
i followed manual
-Installed Kies on mine Windows 7
-download ODIN and latest siyah
-started odin and browse for siyah v3.4.tar in PDA slot
- started S2 in download mode and connected via Data cable
- after reboot i have yellow triangle (warning sign)
I know that this sometimes happens after rooting
BUT WHATEVER I DO I CAN'T PASS THAT SCREEN
I try to remove battery but after i put it back and switch on SAME THING.
Cant start it in download mode
Computer don't recognize it anymore so i cant root with some other kernel.
I CANT EVEN SWITCH IT OFF!!!!!
Thing that worries me is when i connected S2 in download mode damn Windows 7 has automatically installed some driver but ODIN has recognize it after finished driver update
1) Remove the f word from your post before mods see it & ban you.
2) If you really can't get into download mode, your last chance before you send it off to Samsung is a jig. Probably won't work, but worth a try. You never know.

You didn't heed this very sound advice, did you?
Ok. In order for anyone to help you, you must provide a lot more information than you do.
Model number of phone? (GT-i9100? GT-i9100G? GT-i9100M/P/T? SGH-i777? SPH-D710? SGH-T989?)
Current firmware of phone? (is it GB? ICS? Siyah 3.4 is meant for ICS. If you flashed it onto a phone that has 2.3.6 or lower, that could be your issue)
Ohhhhhh....It's that guy. I'm a clairvoyant aren't I ? I can see the future !!

Phone is GT-i9100G. Now is broken GT-9100G :crying::crying:
I dont know what software ver. was on it. Thing is that i read somewhere that siyah support all versions so i decide it that i use it
It is for European market (From Slovenia)
SSN: -I9100GGSMH
FFC ID : A3LGGTI9100G
I "rooted" w/o SIM card and SD Card

Ok, that is your issue. Siyah kernels are for i9100 phones. NOT for i9100G phones.
I find it hard to believe this would now prevent you from getting to download mode though.
Do this:
- take out battery
- hold vol down, home and power buttons, and keep holding
- put battery back in
This should get you to download mode.
Then flash a kernel actually meant for an i9100G. (look for one in the i9100G development subsection)
Then, here's something key for you: stick to firmwares, kernels, and ROMs ONLY MEANT for the i9100G.
i9100G has a different SoC/chipset than the i9100, so these things are not compatible between the two devices.

Cite where you read this information please. As stated, because of SoC/chipset differences, I don't know of ANY kernels that support both the i9100 and i9100G.

If you don't know what firmware version you were on, then I'd just start over at this point, and flash a stock i9100G firmware. This will get you back to Gingerbread.
Then you can do whatever you want, but again, make sure you stick to G-variant firmwares, kernels and ROMs.
I will try.
Tnks for helping stupid guy who try to flash android phone like Windows Mobile 6.5.3
PS.
I noticed that i9100 have much larger support then i9100G.
is it then safe to say that I9100 is better then I9100G, and i was cheated since i told in the store that i wanna buy I9100 ??

No problem.
In response to your PM (that you sent twice, for some reason...) that asked:

I wouldn't say the I9100 is necessarily BETTER than the I9100G, but I think that's a matter of opinion.
It benchmarks a little better due to the Exynos processor in the I9100 running a tad faster than the OMAP in the I9100G, but I've heard that for the most part, real world performance differences are hard to notice, and the I9100G runs cooler.
The I9100 has been available for longer, so as a result there has been more development for it, but since the I9100G has an OMAP (which is also the processor the Galaxy Nexus has), porting has somewhat recently (in the last few months) picked up for the G-variant. (CM9 is in nightlies for the I9100G)

Great,
I've done it.
Is there serious danger(i mean broking up w/o posibility of easy repair)
if i screw something up by using kernel and ROM for i9100G ?

Hello XDA,
I was trying to flash CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S2, was running Stock ICS XWLP7, successfully flashed it, proceeded to CWM and Wipe Data/Factory Reset unaware of the eMMC Brick Bug, went away during the wipe process, as I came back, I saw that the phone was completely bricked. Download/Recovery Modes don't work, Odin doesn't recognize anything, can't charge phone, the phone is cold and dead. Jig or JTAG don't work either.
btw. I can't get it replaced.
1. Is this the infamous superbrick?
2.If yes, what can I do about it? If no, what is it?
Yes, looks like you've encountered the infamous superbrick
The only way to revive a superbricked phone is to send it to Samsung service center.

Actually it's not my device, it belongs to a friend of mine, he gave it to me to fix it yet I couldn't do it
He can't get it replaced because his warranty is over.

Then he needs to pay for a motherboard replacement, simple as that.
Also, by the way, why did you create this thread when we already have plenty of this exact topic? You could have diagnosed this easily by looking at one or more of the threads we already have without creating yet another one and waiting for same answers.
Is it insured under home insurance or bank/credit card? Otherwise it's buy a new phone or send back to Samsung for repair and pay. Good luck.

Because all the fixes were like, flash X from Odin, but the phone doesn't get recognized by Odin.
The phone was bought from Germany, Samsung Turkey refuses to replace it, it must be sent to Germany for replacement.(if possible)

And in those cases the devices were never actually "bricked" at all, those were just n00bs who couldn't fix their system boot problem and like to describe their device as "soft-bricked". In your case your device is actually "bricked" what the n00bs call "hard-bricked" when in reality their is only "bricked". If you can flash via odin or recovery your device is not bricked.
In your case you wiped your device with a buggy kernel (which has been discussed at length as I said) and only option is mobo replacement.
so i read on twitter the fix is on the way and someone told me that it's already here
read the general thread but couldn't find exactly what ROM or version solves this
can someone point it out for me so i can prevent a tragic death on my beloved s3?
thanks

Make sure you collect all info about it before you upgrade.
Why? Because people are saying that new boatloaders have new security patch which makes triangle away not to work.
thanks for the reply - i'll download it later on today and flash
not worried about the counter or anything, not like im planning to get rid of my s3 in the near future

No need to worry about counter if you use stock recovery and stock kernel.
This boatloaders automatically set counter to 1 if you use custom kernel and custom recovery like CWM.
If you keep your phone in stock conditions then you are good.

Does this firmware patch fix the sudden death thing? I'm on supernexus rom, if I flash the stock one you posted, and then reflash the supernexus rom, will it still be fixed?

Yes, it fixes sudden death as well as EXYNOS bug.
If you flash this stock rom then it means you are loading new bootloaders. So the changes in bootloaders will be permanent. If you flash your rom again then it will not effect bootloaders and you are protected for these bugs.
But just to be clear, new bootloaders have a new security measure. If you have CWM/custom recovery and custom kernel then your flash counter will never be 0. means you will void your warranty. Although it will not make any effect on functioning of your phone. So be warned.
Are you sure it's in the new bootloaders ? Coz I never flashed the new bootloaders and us the same with the old ones (bl) and my count is always same on custom recovery.

Wild speculation at that.

hey
i don't know what is the problem, but in this week i noticed that my phone freezes then restarts
sometimes it doesn't wake up from lock screen
why is that? since s2 is a high end phone? or is this problem with android? "even s3 lags on scrolling!"
how to solve it?
Rom? Kernel? Tweaks? What did you do? More info?

You're not special. Other people have had this type of problem so go read the topics that already discuss this/solutions.
Also, please use common sense and in future give relevant information instead of just asking for magic generic solution.
okay
it is stock rom xxlpx
not rooted
ver: 4.0.3
no tweaks, or custom kernel, it is just the official s2 rom and kernel

Hello,
Aint sure if this question is already answered, I searched but didnt find it immeaditly, so i thought it was better to make a topic, So i could also ask a few questions more,
So i have a S3 international for a while now,
And i was thinking to leave the stock rom alone, But rooting, Doing clockwork recovery and a new kernel on it, I am think to get Perseus.
So the question is, if i do this, will all my apps be gone from my Phone and will it be cleaned up?
Also i wanted to ask if i do this, and theres a update from Samsung, How do i update it? Just click on it? will anything be erases/bricked?
Also i seen that the Toolkit (for root and recovery etc) is for 4.1.2, but i recently had a update XEMC2, but the kernel name is still the same, Is it safe to use this toolkit?
Thanks for reading this post,
Best regards,
DrLuigi.

Well probably we will still get Keylime after Jellyban 4.2.1, Since well, Samsung would be crazy if they would let down the Note 2 and S3 users,
Wich are like millions.
It would be actualy good for there name if they satisfy there customers, and get them a even better name when talking about updating there devices,
Well thats my opinion atleast.
I dont think they would let 40 (it was 40 million right? ) million users down on updates.
