Problem after failed firmware update.
I tried to Update my Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100G) using Odin 1.85
the Phone shut down before finishing the update. At that point I could not start my S2 the only picture I got was a black screen with a phone a “!” in a yellow triangle and a computer. I tried to upload the firmware again with Odin but it failed every time. I tried using Kies but it could not find the phone. I googled the problem to find a solution that could work and I tried several solutions without luck. But at last i tried the following advice see link:
xda-developers - View Single Post - [Q] Firmare upgrade encountered an issue - Am i done for?
I downloaded the .tar file that was referred to:
KERNEL_XWLPO.tar
and Odin worked and this file was downloaded. The problem is that now i only get the start page with the text Samsung Galaxy S2 with a yellow triangle "!" in the bottom. I tried plugging it to the USB port on my computer but it can't see the phone anymore and Odin and Kies can't see it so I can't upload another firmware.
Please help, I am desperate

Hi
I just got my Galaxy Note 10.1, model number N8005. It's the model that is sold in Turkey, has 3G&WiFi connectivity but can't make phone calls.
I'm really sorry before if this question had already been asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Anyway, after unboxing it I decided to update the android version to the 4.1 Jelly Bean directly, by using the German rom.
The process in Odin start smoothly until it starts to install the modem.bin file and then it fails. I tried repeating the installation process about 5 times, changing usb ports, restarting computers, and it still fails at modem.bin. I forgot to take screenshot but the modem.bin file is installed after the recovery.img and system.img.
The tablet won't boot up after this process, it only shows the update failed, please connect to Kies screen. Since I don't know what to do anymore, i tried rooting it by using Odin and magically it succeed and the tablet start up normally. I checked the android version and it shows 4.1.1
The tablet runs pretty normally, except that the S Note application won't start. Everytime I open it, it immediately force close.
What I want to ask is what is the cause of error Odin fails in installing modem.bin file? Is this okay since there are still some file that odin hasn't installed yet (hidden.img, boot.img, cache.img and modem.bin)? (Also is there any way to fix the S Note app so it would run normally again? Should I try installing other rom again using Odin?
I'm pretty scared to install rom using Odin again now
Thank you.
(I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section)
So I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 today using TWRP and it got stuck in a boot loop. I went to wipe to cache and accidentally wiped to system. So now there is no OS installed. I know I need to somehow put an OS on the device but I'm in Canada and when I go to samsung's site to download the firmware, there is no Canada option. I bought the phone off of amazon and it came with a European wall charger because it was imported, but how do I know what firmware to download?
Also, when I have found the right firmware, how do I flash it onto the device? I can no longer access TWRP, all I can get is the downloading screen thing. Can I use Odin/how do I use Odin?
Somebody help me I'm panicking because I broke my brand new phone!
You should check the Amazon listing to see which model number you have. It's probably SM-920F.
Once you have the correct firmware downloaded, Google a guide to flashing Galaxy S6 firmware with Odin. There are a lot of them out there.

On the back of the phone it should say which model you have, for example G920F, G920W8, G920P etc.
Download the proper firmware from Sammobile, then follow the tutorial that the following thread has a link to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If the variant you have is the European model, G920F, I recomend you install the unbranded firmware.
IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE! INSTALLING THE WRONG FIRMWARE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
I really hope this advice helped!
Really important is only that you pick the right model to download. The region isn't that important. Go to sammobile and download your stock rom, but be sure to not pick a branded one, because they are full of junk.
Also, you must use ODIN in that Download-Mode. Open ODIN, plug your device into your pc and see, if ODIN shows up your device. If yes, select "PDA" or "AP" (depending on ODIN Version) and select your ROM that you have downloaded. Then click on start. Don't touch your phone, your cable or your computer for best results. Wait ODIN say "PASS" with a green background. If this occurs, your phone should restart and after 10 mins or so, it should boot Android.
I did the same this as the OP, now I am stuck on the main "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android" screen. I can boot into TWPR and into download. I have tried flashing zip from external SD card with USB-OTG with no luck, I have tried flashing from Odin, multiple Odin versions tried, multiple usb cords tried, multiple computers tried.. all result with <ID:x/xxx> Can't open serial(COM) port."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get anything to take, not stock firmware or otherwise. Any suggestions.. donations for anyone who can help me solve. lol $$

In odin under options untick Auto Reboot.
Flash Rom
Phone wont reboot once rom has flashed successfully so you will need to do manual reboot.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
Reboot phone
that should help let us know if it works
