[Q] Samgung Galaxy S2 - Non official ICS Fail attemp installation!

Hi,
This morning I tried to install the ICS on my Samsung Galaxy S2, model GT-I9100G bought in Germany SIM lock free, but the phone is not working any longer. I follow the instructions published on cnet.co.uk. I cannot type links here since I am new, but if you type in Google the following:
How to install ice cream sandwich on samsung galaxy s2, you will find them in the first link.
I used Odin and the "SetupConnection.." got stuck in the same status for 10 min. Therefore, I decided based on some information on the web to pull the usb cable, pull the battery off and try one more time.
I tried to put the phone into download mode one more time, but it was not possible. The phone was just showing something like the following:
Phone icon ... Warning sign (the yellow triangle with the ! inside) ... Computer
Anyhow, I try to install once again the ICS with Odin, but this is what I got:
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
Suggestions or is the phone brick? Thank you

Hi,
An update of the issue with my phone.
I found the [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
I follow step 5 for "NAND rw coruption", I follow step 5 because I was not able to get to Download Mode. I used Odin to flash the kernel proposed by Phistachio, I9100XXKI3. It seems that it works.

After this, it shows a the following: Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100G with the yellow warning warning. After this procedure I was able to get into Download Mode. So I proceeded with the thread instructions from steps 1 to 4, using the Recovery Package/ROM proposed Phistachio, I9100XXKI3. However, this time the process did not work.

there are a different between GT-I9100G and GT-I9100
so be sure bro ..

yeh maybe rom not for your model i9100g

There isn't any ics ROM for the i9100G so you flashed a i9100 which bricked your phone.you should read in the gs2 section, there's a thread what to do know, just search for it

You can't flash roms from the i9100 because of different chipsets.

Hi everybody.
Thank you for Jahai advice on this thread. I looked deeper into the GS2 forum and I found what he has mentioned and I SOLVED the PROBLEM. My phone is fully operative once again.
Summary:
1.- I Bricked the GT-I9100G since I used a ICS not suitable for my phone. I got the same picture as the website below:
Look in Google under : Repair your bricked Samsung Galaxy S2...
Therefore I was not able to Go in Download Mode.
2.- I used the step 5 from, "NAND rw coruption", proposed by Phistachio, under the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1457458
I used the kernel he offered I9100XXKI3. With this procedure, I was able to y get the Download mode again after taking the battery off, and put it back and immediately Volume Down, Home and Power. Only step 5 nothing else.
3.- Then I followed the procedure defined by ToMmY_hun under the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448765&highlight=9100g
I have used the pit file as well. I tried without it, and I was not able to flash the firmware successfully. For more information about this step look at the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568756&highlight=9100g

4.- The phone is working again.
Hope this help.

Upgraded to a Verizon S3 today, store upgraded it to 4.1.2, cannot root

Hi all,
Today I upgraded from a Thunderbolt to an S3, and before I even left the store the guy was upgrading to the latest version of 4.1.2 which came out a few days ago.
I've been following this tutorial, which is basically the same as all the other tutorials - install Samsung USB drivers on Windows machine, download CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar and use ODIN 3.04 or 1.85 to flash while in download mode.
I've done all that, and when I use either version of ODIN, I get the following:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I don't even get a green light in 3.04 - just a blue light. In 1.85 I get a yellow light.
I see this on my phone:
SECURE CHECK FAIL: recovery
I see this on the phone's screen twice, as I tried to flash it with ODIN 3.04 and 1.85.
Any ideas? Could this be a direct result of the most recent software update?
Thanks in advance for any light shed on this issue.

Jee speaks the truth. Even though you have a galaxy S3 the original s3 in Europe is not the same as here in the states (i535). I went into the development section of xda in the i535 Verizon section and d/l the tar file foe my phone. Worked great with Odin

[Q] Galaxy Exhilarate stuck during emergency recovery

First off, I am a complete Android/PC noob (have used solely apple products until this phone, and an Acer aspire comp. i got 2 weeks ago).
I have been using the Exhilarate with android GB, and wanted to upgrade to ICS. I downloaded Samsung Kies, backed up my phone, and began the firmware upgrade, however once the progress reached 70%-80%, the device came unplugged. after restarting the phone, it is stuck on a screen that says:
upper left corner of screen:
Odin Mode
Product Name:SGH-I577
Custom Binary Download: YES(2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
Center of screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
When I reconnect and attempt to do the emergency firmware recovery using kies, it completes the downloading of the file for firmware emergency recovery, but once it moves on to "proceed to firmware emergency recovery", it stops working (the progress bar is stuck at 0%)
After waiting a little while, the emergency recovery closes, and a message shows saying:
Notice-F PC failed to recognize the mobile phone. Please follow the guide shown below to try again
I gave up on kies, and did some searching of my own. I downloaded the latest version of Odin, as well as the Clockworkmod-Blaze-4G.tar. I made sure there was nothing Kies-related running on my computer, opened up Odin, loaded the clockwork .tar, turned the phone on into download mode (it says Warning!, asks if I want to go into download mode, and then returns to the Odin Mode screen once I say yes). the device is shown as added to odin, I clicked start, and it seemed to be working, and then a big red FAIL appeared in the top left box, and the message box said:

I have tried re-installing drivers, different versions of the .tar file (i think they are diff. versions, but not completely sure) rebooting the device many many times, among other things. If anyone has any idea of where to go from here, i would be EXTREMELY grateful.
thank you guys

One more thing
OP here still:
I tried again with a different version of Odin. this time it failed once again, but got a bit further. (everything else was the same):
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

also, I have only checked the Auto reboot box in odin. All others were left blank

I am having a very similar problem with my SGS3 - were you able to solve your problem? If so, can you share how you did?

[Q] Stuck at Samsung Logo after battery died on Galaxy Note 10.1

[Q] Stuck in download mode or Samsung Logo
The note was working fine, the battery was empty... then I re-charged it and tried to open it again and it didn't open since! It stuck on Samsung Logo, I tried to get the recovery mode, but couldn't (stuck again on Samsung logo)... Then tried the Download mode and it worked... I got Heimdall and Odin and tried to restore the original stock firmware (4.4.2) or even TWRP for recovery and both didn't work.
Odin every time fail after as follow:
Code:

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> recovery.img
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL! All threads completed.
(succeed 0 / failed 1)
I've also tried initialization with keys, but got the following message:
Code:
'GT-N8000' does not support initializing
I used Odin 3.0.7 and Odin 3.10. I was on Stock Firmware (4.4.2) but rooted.

There is no way to fix it. NAND is dead
Only way is change its motherboard.
It happened with me 2 months ago.
I tried to repartition, install stock rom via Odin
It didn't work, I take my note 10.1 to service center
They said They need to change my motherboard
Then I buy a Nexus 9.
Good Experience bro!!!
Sorry for bad english

Try using the modded "Prince Cosmy Odin" with stock firmware first
If that fails, try following this

I attempted to follow that link so i when through the steps came to step two of downloads and had to find a S7 Snapdragon Root .tar so i did and found this XDA forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-method-nougat-t3566978 which was the first thing on google searching for the snapdragon.
I followed those steps and i for the error Secure check fail : Boot
I was also able to get it to get into a boot loop once again

I downloaded this file
USC-G930R4TYU4BQK3-20171221083318.zip
Wish I knew where I got it from but now my phone is actually turning on!
There was a loading screen iv never seen before thought it show
Installing applications with a black bar then smart switch popped up and the bar was filled instantly with yellow lol iv just never seen this screen before from
past uses of any Samsung device.

Good stuff, just be cautious with that model S7, it's a snapdragon meaning much more difficult to unbrick if you brick it as the bootloader is locked

Its really buggy the OS itself. Its slower the normal idk if its just because of how fresh it is like the flash maybe just give it time?

Did you factory reset after the flash (or use CSC to force the reset)?
I'd reset it, it should be pretty smooth after maybe 5 mins of first boot
