Hi all,
Today I've tried to re-install Android 2.3.4 Kernel KG1 on Samsung Galaxy S2 because of some weird issues on my phone.
I just wan't to give my phone a clean up.
I'm still kinda new with Android.
I wan't it to install the 2.3.4 via Odin on my Galaxy s2, unfortunately it failed.
I get this particular message on my screen.
(Big) Phone..(Yellow Triangle with Explenation mark)..Computer screen.
Underneath it sais,
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again''
It doesn't detect my phone on Kies even though I've already installed Samsung's USB drivers.
I need help with this, does somebody knows the solution.
Sidenote, I can still access Download Mode
Kind regards.
*** (UPDATE)*** I've installed the stock KG1 kernel again via Donwload mode, The (Firmware fail logo and message) is gone only now my phone is stuck at the bootup with a yellow triangle and explenation mark underneath the Samsung Galaxy SII boot logo and it won't boot up. (I cant acces Recovery Mode but I still can enter Download mode

Because installing a new firmware Fails all the time.
I installed the same Firmware via Odin, but it won't go further. I see FACTORYFS (or something) wait for like 1 or 2 minutes till i see a glimpse of the green progress bar and BAM! out of nowhere it is telling me, FAIL (RED).
I really need a solution.
Are you using the Samsung data cable, have you tried different USB ports on the pc, have you tried a different PC
I really need some help out here people.

It didn't work.
There must be a solution because I'm still able to enter Download mode.
I just don't know where to look, I'm searching Google of etc but I just can't seem to find a solution.

Simliar Issue
Hi,
I believe I have a similar issue. I just rooted for my first time using Odin and SuperOneclick. Everything seemed to go as planned, but now I can't connect to anything. I am wondering if this might be because I need to change another setting? I was searching the forums for a similar issue and this seems to be a hard search to find results for. Seems like most of the rooting has been done in the EU so far on this phone.
Issue: No service, No Data, Wifi Does not Work.
SuperOneClickv2.0b1
Odin3-v1.85
xwkdd_inesecure.tar
My current phone settings are:
Samsung Galaxy S II (Sprint Version)
Model #: SPH-D710
Kernel 2.6.34.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513
Build: GINGERBREAD.EG30

Perhaps installing a new firmware (Android 2.3.4 KG1) would solve this issue.
You got modem problems, and by installing a new firmware via Odin you will replace your current Firmware/Kernel with a brand new one.
I think this is the solution.
You should give it a try.

Thanks for the response =)
I went ahead and tried to install GT-I9100_XWKG1_insecure. Still no 3G, network service or Wifi.
I agree, I think its the firmware. I guess the next step is to figure out the exact firmware needed for the Sprint US version.
I might give a few more a try from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
I may be way stupid, but I didn't think there even was an SGS2 on Sprint/CDMA? I wonder if you are flashing SGS2 FW on the new Epic 4G Touch (is that it's name?....the 4.5" one?)> I think that is verboten.
Actually, I think your right. They are calling it the "Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch." I guess it would make sense that the firmware for the similar versions might not work on this one. Crap. So now I have the wrong firmware installed, makes sense.
I have to catch a flight tomorrow afternoon. I might have to return it if I can't figure out what firmware to get. I am read posts where people say they are working on a version, but I still can't figure out what the original kernel version was.
Thanks for the reply.
Be careful. If you return it in that condition they might void your warranty because you flashed the FW. I would try posting in the correct forum for the Epic. I was just in the Epic forum and yes people are saying flashing SGS2 FW will brick the Epic. I think I read yesterday that the Epic isn't even flashable yet too??
ok so this is the second time i have screwed this thing.
i tried to use odin to flash a stock image,
and now im stuck on the phone-!-computer image. I cant get into recovery. I can't get into download. Am i ****ed?
Did you click on PDA or Phone in odin?
i think phone

hello??????
that's your problem. did you read the instructions?
Just keep trying, try heimdell then Odin, then heimdell, over and over again. These phones are hard to hurt.
Try using the wall charger holding volume down, like you would with the computer to get into download mode. Report back.
Sent telepathically.
Yeah, for most purposes, you're going to be using PDA in Odin exclusively.
always always always use PDA. Never phone. period.

Since you have the battery out, having auto-reboot doesn't need to be checked.
I been trying to reflash my Vibrant to stock through this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
how i kept getting this continuous circle thing instead of rebooting. I searched online and some forums talked about going into CNW recovery and then rewipe. However I can't seem to do that, after Odin (unclick reboot) I will push the 3 buttons (volume up, power, menu) and it would flash a disfigured download mode over and over again.
I am stuck, please help me out! I have attached two photos. I can still get into download mode without any issue.
What bootloader do you have running?

Bootloader? Sorry I don't know what that is... I only followed the guide...
I am a Noob, a huge uneducated Noob.
Are you going back to stock from ics? When you odin make sure re-partition is checked auto reboot is checked and use the 512 pit file as well as the stock image...
If you were on Ginger bread bootloaders you would only be pressing volume up and power to get into download mode...
When odin is done do you get a green pass! In the top left corner? It should state 1/pass 0 fail

I am going from Ginger bread back to Froyo. I tried to root it in GB and didn't work, it stopped receiving signal connection ...
Yes I mean up volume + power + menu for recovery.
Yes, all three are clicked and it always gives me that white circle loop in the attached image above.
Not sure what gb rom you could have possibly flashed that wouldn't already be rooted... can u get back to download mode from that circle?

If you can get back into download mode, download this
http://www.mediafire.com/?2qq3muxzj4gw7ib
I have never seen that stock link before, not too sure what that is, but the link I posted is a clean 2.2 rom...use the 512 pit and put that(link) into the PDA
just PIT and PDA and make sure all three are checked...
yup goes to download perfectly
I have attached a screenshot of what I am doing in Odin if that helps.
Your signature is Canada Rogers...do you have a T-Mobile SGH-T959 vibrant?
---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
you're using odin 3...not sure if this could be an issue or not, but search for Odin 1.7...use that
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Also, from that screen shot, your 512 pit file is in your internet/temp directory...it could be gone after you close your browser....you need these files in a dedicated place like your desktop or something, not in an internet cache folder...when you hit start, did you see a progress bar and see things happening? it takes about 2-5 minutes for the stock firmware to be transferred to your phone
>< I am sorry! When I was searching for help I just saw Vibrant and thought that it would be it. I just noticed there is another thread for it.
I have a Samsung S Vibrant i9000M ... originally from Bell, but it was unlock when i got it... Would I be able to request a move to that forum?
But the procedure would still be the same right? I just flashed it (attached photo). It is saved in my internet temp file but it is physically there, I just named that file for all my internet downloads.
Sorry I am such an idiot. I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
I'll try using that first and let you know!

I know rooting is a risk but never had this issue with the Galaxy S3.
I rooted the Galaxy S6 Edge using Kinguser in order to remove carrier crapware. Post root, Settings->About Device->Status->Device Status = "Custom".
Attempting an OTA update, the phone reports "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your PC or visit a customer service centre".
Attempting update from PC using Smart Switch, error message is "ErrorCode=5,ErrorMessage=The operation completed successfully." Despite the content of the message, the phone is not updated.
What are the options to get the update? I have invested a lot of time in organizing and setting up apps so I would like to avoid spending a day doing a factory reset. I have Galaxy S6 Edge 128 GB from Rogers Wireless in Canada.

just download your firmware and flash it with Odin
Won't that overwrite the settings and content on the phone? I guess I could back it up with Smart Switch first.
I have similar problem with my S6 Edge 64 GB. I rooted it with "CF Autoroot" and it went fine but then the storage of my phone dropped from 64GB to 16GB. Also when I try to run my banking apps they didn't work. I guess because the device was rooted. To get my storage back to 64 GB I flashed phone with 5.1.1 as 6.0.1 didn't worked. Now I am running 5.1.1 with Custom status with full 64GB storage. I tried to update the software through OTA but get message the device is modified and can't be updated. Also with smart switch, it says SM-G925F is not supported
I also tried to flash stock firmware O2U-G925FXXU1AOCV-20150410182552.zip but it keeps getting failed.
Can you please advise how can I get back to official status with 6.0.1
You can go back to official status, you tripped Knox and it blew the Efuse on your device which you can't repair. Best bet is to use odin and install original firmware back to the device, put the file in AP and flash it. It should take 5 min to complete. If you've already done it and come up with errors what are they? Need more info dude to help you.

I tried uploading stock firmware downloaded from androidrootz/sammobile with ODIN but it keeps getting failed. No matter what port I used, its not working.
No errors, just it keeps getting failed
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/
Try install the marshmallow update.
If you don't want to try, go into recovery and factory reset and boot up fully and go through the setup and try flash again with ODIN.
If ODIN still fails try a different usb and USB port. It can be picky sometimes.
Also you could try and push the Firmware over with ADB. (I don't know how to use ADB so just Google instructions.)
At which point is it getting failed? Example... "hidden.img fail" a screen shot of odin will help mate?
I have tried with three different ports and i'm using genuine samsung data cable with lates odin software.
Due to less posts than 10 i am unable to attach screenshots.
after hidden.img it gets FAIL
hidden.img fail means you need to flash the PIT file.
Best thing would be to look on sam mobile and download and flash 6.0.1 FW.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/66479/G925FXXS3DPB1_G925FOXA3DPB1_XEU/
This is the one I had to flash which didn't need pit to be flashed seperately which got me up and running easily. Just backup your stuff.

Is there anyway to speed up the download from this website, right now it says 8 hours to complete. I am on 50Mb fibre optic
I'm afraid not unless you want to pay for it. It usually takes around 1-2 hours I think.

i have a note edge from sprint, it is a friend of mines. Who by the way didnt listen to me and let me do it to begin with.
the phone when powered on is stuck at
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
He did not get to install TWRP on the device.
Can anyone point me in the right direction of how maybe i can get this to work. i have tried the Kies software but it keeps saying that it is not connected.
Also, i have not seen anywhere that uses Odin, is this because of the Sprint version.

What does this mean? You can use Odin for basically everything on this phone.
Well, you can't use it to make that worthless edge screen become something of value. You can't do that with Odin.
But Odin will do what you need. Power button, home button, and volume up button, all pushed at the same time, will give you the option to put the phone into Download mode and you can go Odin from there.

Had similar issue, with the Edge in this situation. There is no obvious "download" screen when this happens because all you will get is that message.
1 Ignore Kies, wont help you
2. download the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...alaxy-note-edge-stock-5-1-1-firmware-t3162245 (and thank the OP for posting it!)
3.Get Odin if dont have it already.
4. get phone to where it says "try again" and hook to computer
5. Flash the stock Rom via oden. Once you hit start in Odin you will, hopefully, see the download happen on the edge screen
I am assuming you know how to work Odin, if not, check out the several walk-throughs. The big thing is that, in this situation, error message screen IS the download screen at that point.

I downloaded the firmware but I'm not quite sure where to place the firmware under. There are several spots such as CP, CSC, BL, and AP.
Also, What do you mean by flashing the stock? Thank you for your time to read this. ;3

I'm a huge noobie with this, but what is the difference between a T-Lock and a Flash Lock? Also, there isn't anything to check besides the default and the flash options right? Thank you, my root didn't go all the way thru so I'm trying to revert it to the un-rooted version.
[Edit]
So, I put the file in the AP area and started it. Then I get a red button that says "fail". I'm using the model and service provider but I'm not sure whats wrong, The only thing that I think could be not allowing me to unroot my phone is the flash lock, unless, I need more files for the Bl, Cp, CSC..
