remove your battery put usb to phone and pc and then put the battery you will download mode if this not work try usb jig

Ok so i dont know exactly what happened, but something did. I try to boot it up but i get an error that say the aplication(%1$s) has unexpcetedly quit and it just stays there vibrating. Now i have gotten to the 3e recovery menu and i did put update.zip on the sd card but it starts and then stops and it says it cant be verified. I tried putting into download and recovery mode but i cant. I cant replace or return the phone either.

Any more details you can provide about what was done on the device before this happened will help.
When trying to boot into download mode what happens?
Yes please more detail will help us help you.
And when you go into dl mode what happens?

Update: (i rooted with the oneclickroot if that helps anyone)
Well as i said im not quite sure what happened my friend said he was going to put stuff on there and long behold boom there it is. And as for download mode i cant go into it, and i mean i have tried like a kabillion times( sorry for fourth grade talk) and nothing ever happens it just boots into 3e recovery menu or it goes to that screen, neither of which i can do anything about. is there anyway for me to just reset everything or have windows recognize so i can use odin? any sort of mode that i could get into unless you guys can help me get into dl mode or recovery mode(besides the 3e)
no one knows anything?

It's kinda hard without know exactly what your friend was doing on the phone.
Have you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032? And tried the different methods suggested?
If you can boot into recovery you should be able to boot into download mode without any issues.
ODIN will only work if you are in download mode, also if you do the steps to get into download mode and you don't see download mode, but just like a backlit screen:
Open odin, and plug the phone in via USB, odin should still recognize the phone as being plugged in.
I have a Samsung Infuse that I recently rooted and installed Serendipity on. I then attempted to load CM7, which caused some problems. Now the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo and doesn't go any further; I can only load into CWM (Red), which can be "updated" to Green, after a hard reset. I've attempted to reflash the ROM from the SD card (even after wiping Dalvik cache, cache partition, and factory reset), but it just gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
My issue is further complicated by the fact that Download mode doesn't want to work - my phone can enter Download mode, but my computer (with Kies installed for the drivers) doesn't recognize the phone being connected. I've occasionally gotten Download mode to work if the battery is removed at just the right moment, but it doesn't last. Due to this, I can't get Odin to work.
Any ideas on what to do next?

There are about fifty threads previously posted on this topic.
Just read thru a few...

Thanks for the attempt, but as I said before Download mode isn't recognized by the computer, and that is an important component for Odin or heimdall to work.
I have occasionally gotten access to the SD card through CWM, so I can place ZIP files directly on the phone. If anyone has any ideas on what to flash from the phone, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance!

Try it on another computer. I recommended Odin back to stock first before you start flashing!

make sure you are trying to get into DL mode correctly...
pull battery, hold ONLY the volume buttonS - not the power button -;
insert battery, plug in cable.
if that doesnt work, use a different usb cable.
try different port on the computer
try a different computer or winxp or win7
it's kinda finicky at times.
Finally got it working - needed to use a different computer. Used my brother's laptop and it worked first try. Thanks for your guys' help.
Hey, i am new here i used to get helps lot in this forum but now i am facing a problem that i didn't found a solution for it yet..
first off i tried to change from android 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 (Arabic support) using Odin v1.83 when i put the .tar file into PDA then i run it. gave me failed and the phone won't work again when i restarted it gave me result are like this : Phone--!--PC
please help me i cannot do anything.. i tried to remove the battery using usb cable go to recovery mode,,, download mode but nothing it keep appearing even it i turned off the phone just in one click to power button it appear again.. i am going to crazy and the phone has warranty expired please is there anyway to solve this problem?
I don't know if your phone is the same, but with my Nexus if stuck in bootloop I can plug the usb cable in and use adb to enter command "adb reboot bootloader" and get to fastboot and flash the stock images. Maybe you can try something like that. That's why I love the nexus I thought I bricked it a couple times but I always got back to stock images. or if you have a cwm restore you can get to that once in fastboot.
Thanks for your reply! but where i can find stock images?? and can i make it without formatting everything on it? plus when i did that i wasn't have the sd card inside it and without a sim card also
i found on the web that i need to install default kernel.. i did that and put it to bootloader in Odin and the operation succeed but now i am facing looping on Samsung logo with yellow triangle ... see the picture.. it always loop can't do anything tried recovery mode download mode but nothing.. is there any fast solution please? i beg you guys please
Try to wipe everything trough recovery, and flash another rom.
Just google for Heimdall recovery
Does Heimdall perform anything different than Odin?
try to install leaked original rom ics for gs2. i try it and yellow triangle is out
I went to flash my sgs2s and it successfully went into download mode. I started Odin and it froze on xxxxx.img. After waiting about 30 minutes, I shut off the phone and tried to go back to my download mode, only to find that it goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I have tried so many different ways to get it back into download mode and nothing seems to work. I can get to the screen to push the vol+ to get to download mode and it goes back to the error screen.
I have tried to use Kies to restore my device to no avail. I have scoured the web for any information, also to no avail. I have tried a couple of ROMs, one which was a stock ROM, no difference. I cannot boot my phone and am in need of my phone. Thank you for any help you might be able to offer.

What were you flashing? Seems like a bad download. Happened to me once. The error screen is download mode. If you try and connect the phone to a computer I am sure ODIN will be able to se it. Redownload whatever you were flashing and try to flash it again using ODIN.
As a usual warning, do NOT check repartition in ODIN.
As a usual tip, use the USb port that's directly on the motherboard of your PC, and not the one on the front.
Also, run ODIN as administrator.

Changed the usb port and it WORKED! Thanks everyone!
Good to hear.
I had to ask because a lot of... less-than-intelligent... people tend to flash skyrocket roms on gsii phones or vice versa, thus bricking their devices...
I am in desperate need of help .. I am not a noob to flashing roms and rooting, however I have a one-off situation w/ no precedents to my knowledge. I have read these and other forums for days to no avail.
I was flashing Infintium Rom 4.0.4 from MIUI 2.3.6. I followed the steps listed in the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661690). After flashing I rebooted and waited however the phone was/is stuck on the Samsung logo and never progressed. I then pulled the battery and attempted to go back to recovery mode to reflash make sure I did flashed correctly. However, upon going back into recovery I was greeted by the below image.
Clockwork Mod is extremely distorted and flat out unusable !! As I read further down it advised to use Heimdall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381). I downloaded and attempted to use, however my PC (Which by the way is Windows 7 64-Bit) recognized the phone but the Heimdall software did not. I already had the right drivers for the PC and phone. After a few tries I deleted the files and reapplied them. On the 2nd menu after selecting list devices, on the drop down the option for Samsung USB Composite Device neeever ever appears. I also tried on a different PC that ddnt have the drivers and started brand new. Still, Heimdall ddnt recognize.
I also tried to flash numerous files including but not limited to GTG Ultimate Unbrick via Odin. Again, PC recognized USB connection however program ddnt. At this point, I do not know if it is because the status of Clockwork Mod on my phone, but I know it is not because of the drivers or the USB ports on my PC.
In addition to that, I have just scrapped the idea of flashing or getting in CWM and just wanted to do a hard reset (While phone is off held Vol down and Power, once started released power and contimued to hold Vol down. This should take the phone from the Samsung logo to an alt menu that will give the option to do a factory reset. But again w/ my luck .. that screen neeever appears.
In short I have tried at least 3 different ways and many maaany variations to get the phone back into recovery or into a full boot and had NO success.. Please help and ask as many questions as needed to diagnose and resolve this issue .. Thanx in advance and apologize in advance if posted in the wrong thread.
Are you placing your phone in download mode?
Remove battery and place it back.
Hold vol+ & vol- , and plug in the usb to your phone with the other end already connected to the PC.
Now see if Odin or heimdall recognize your device.

If neither Odin or Hemdall can 'see' the phone, then possibly you don't have the correct drivers installed...
Try downloading and installing these:

Then open Odin/Hemdall and plug your phone in again while in Download Mode.

The CWM screen is shot because you don't have gingerbread bootloaders, it will always look like that until to can flash the right ones..
Have you tried different cables, different ports, etc?
Sometimes mine would recognize.. sometimes being plugged in first then running Odin works, sometimes I would have to run Odin and then plug in the phone.. kinda a crapshoot...

I know I need to get the bootloader and a kernel on it however I cant = ( .. yet .. I have 4 different ports on my PC and have tried them all. i have tried phone on then run programs and programs on 1st then phone on and no new results.
I found this short video and it describes my exact situation .. please watch to futher understand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHLUYckTlug
So u have odin and heimdal both on the same PC and drivers for them if yes then try this.
On the PC/Laptop uninstall all the drivers for samsung or any other phone and follow this.
Go to accessories> system tool> system restore and check the restore point where the drivers for heimdall were installed restore to a previous restore point after restore finishes install the drivers for Infuse and see now Odin recognizes ur phone, It should.
I had the same exact problem, do you have another phone on which you can install the same CWM recovery on? ...Because the clockwork mod recovery still works, it's just that you can't see it. So just flash a new ROM, by going back n forth between phones, clock how many clicks it takes to get to 'choose zip to install' then 'download' on the not messed up phone, then do the same on the screwy one, just keep doing that till u flash the new ROM.
