Hi guys im only new here,
Im not sure if i posted this in the right section feel free to move it MODs
Anyway I think i may have bricked my galaxy s2, I get a message that says "Firmware upgrade encountere...." ,after i tried to flash a stock rom back onto the phone after using lite'ning rom for a while, the process failed about half way through, I was using Odin, i can no longer get into recovery mode or clockwork recovery....I can still however get into download mode but my pc wont recognise the device through odin.....
I think it may be bricked
If the phone is bricked could i get a usb jig and reset the binary count to "0" and bring it to my authorised samsung repair shop, would they know i have rooted the phone and would my warranty still be covered?
Thanks for any help guys, i loved this phone and now its useless..
This should go into Q&A.
What stock firmware did you flash exactly? Stock carrier?

Hi I tried to flash an inscure.tar file, of a stock rom i found on a website i think it was KE7,.... sorry im a complete noob
No worries. That's why XDA is here for you to learn.
So you can get into download mode but Odin doesn't see your device. Seems like the Samsung drivers isn't installed on your computer. Try installing the device drivers manually. And see if Odin recognizes your device then.
EDIT: did you make sure kies wasn't running in the background when you're using ODIN?

Ok thanks for the help, kies was not running tin the background anyway, can you tell me how to manually install the drivers if possible?
Where can i get a stock firmware for a sgs2 sgh-I777? i loaded ics 4.0.3 and now my speaker and mic dont work during calls. Anyone have and ideas on how to get back to gingerbread? i have search for it and everywhere says it has been removed.
Try uninstalling kies and install again. Once installed plug in your device and see if it downloads the drivers that way.
I'll try and look for the drivers while you do that.

You'll have better luck in the at&t gs2 forums. You won't find your file here. Sorry

Ok i will try that and get back to you
Sounds like a soft brick. I had problems flashing once (work computer was playing up) and it was complaining about needing an emergency firmware recovery in kies but I just re-flashed the rom when I got home and it was all good.
Hopefully it's the same for you.
The thing is I cant reflash because odin wont recognise the device, and i cannot get into recovery mode for a manual flash either :/

Hmmm strange. When you're in download mode and you plug into Odin what does it say?
Edit: what version of windows do you have?

the galaxy s2 just shows the standard downloading screen with my binary count number etc as it normally would, but odin dosent pick it up, dosent show any sign of contact to the device, even windos says the device is malfunctioned, its an old dell with windows xp
Hey, you are my last hope.
I bought a used galaxy s2 with a software defect, I didnt know: 1. Mistake
Now, I'm stuck in a bootloop, I can't go into the recovery, but in download mode.
So I'm not totally screwed.
But, when I'm using the jig to go into download mode, my windows 7 64 bit laptop does not recognize the phone at all. So Odin does not work.
So how can I manage to get the drivers installed completely, without the need to boot the sgs2 up...
Pls help me!
It is an international i9100 from Germany

Does that mean you have not installed KIES or the Samsung USB drivers ???

Installed kies but its not running in the background. Like it should be.
Normally, if the sgs2 is on, windows installs the drivers. But in my case,y device is only the download mode available... So it doesn't recognize my phone instead it is an unknown device...
I hope you can understand what I mean...
So I need a way to install drivers for s2 without having a bootable device...
Ideas?

You only need to install KEIS...
after opening ODIN and you phone connecting, are you getting ID:COM box highlighted yellow, and in the messege box its wriiten "added" then you got drivers and phone is recognized..

Normally, the drivers are installed during download mode. This is because download mode seems to use different serial port-like drivers. Try another PC.
Try this!
Put your phone in download mode, connect cable
Go to windows update and check for updates!
You should find the updated drivers in the optional updates
Good luck

On my LGP769BK I'd have to say no, it definitely isn't.
hello everyone. First time posting here. Im having a terrible time unlocking my bootloader on my tablet following sonys instructions. I get all the way to the part where sony has you download their usb inf replacement file for android sdk. I replace the file, go into fastboot mode on my tablet. the device shows up with the yellow exclamation in device manager but it wont let me update the drivers. I have also attempted to update the drivers through flashtool. nothing seems to work for me and Im at the end of my rope. it just keeps saying that windows cannot find driver software for my device. anyone have any tips or something that can get this working for me? im running android 4.2.2 with firmware 10.3.1.c.0.136 on the sgp311 wifi model. developer mode is enabled as is usb debugging. any help with this would be tremendous.
Are you using Windows 8 or 8.1?

windows 7
Strange... It might sound silly, but sometimes people forget it: Did you rebooted after installing the drivers from flashtool?
