Hi I was trying to upgrade the Android Version on a Galaxy S2.
I installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and was able to boot into it but couldn't access the SD for installing image.
I booted into the downloading screen ( vol down and power on boot ) and installed an image then bootloader via Odin.
Now when I boot there is the standard Samasung Galaxy S2 logo and I can't access the downloading screen or clockwork mod and it just goes to the animated S logo with usb not recognized appearing on the connected Windows box.
Is there anyway to restore from this point?
Are you able to access the phone through ADB?
If yes, run: adb reboot download, and this should put you in downlaod mode so you can odin a new firmware.
If no adb access, Does odin recognize the phone?
If yes, you should be able to odin a new firmware.
Make sure when you flash the new firmware you are using the correct rom for your device. ie: from your post you have a GS2 I9000 which is not the same as the GS2 SGH-T989.
you would use roms from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=665
If you are unable to flash a rom you can always purchase a download mode jig to get you into download mode if you have not Hard Bricked the phone. If you have Hard Bricked your phone there are a couple of sites that do Jtag repair to unbrick your phone.
Good Luck
No reponse from Odin or ADB
I have purchased a download mode jig hopefully it will work.
Thanks for your advice
Im trying to flash my phone into a new custom ROM cause my current on is slow and keeps crashing my phone also want to update to a different ROM. Problem is I cant reboot into recovery or boot loader or anything. Boot recovery just gives me a pink screen. Recovery just gets stuck at boot logo (it use to work but its all of a sudden decided it doesn't want to work) same thing happens when I try to factory reset my phone also the fast boot method doesnt seem to work either cause I cant get Fastboot to load on my pc. Already tried flashing my ROM and Recovery via Flashify and other apps flash your phone but just got stuck on boot logo. Tried doing a factory reset again got stuck at boot logo. Tried installing the custom ROM via Rom Installer. Still stuck at boot logo. I did several searches and there doesn't seem to be any way to resolve this issue without a recovery or other boot method im hoping someone here can help me. Also my phone wont show up on my pc so I cant access my files and im unable to install Droid explorer cause it doesn't detect my sdk folder which is odd cause it says all the drivers are installed and tools like HiSuite detects my device but the device wont show up in my computer.

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Take a look at this thread:
[Guide] Huawei Ascend Y300 Unlock & Root
Thread closed, thanks.
Hello. I purchased SM-G920TZKAXAR , Unlocked US version
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G920TZKAXAR
Then I tried to root it by following this guide: http://joyofandroid.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s6/ and using Method 2 via TWRP and then flashing cf-autoroute from https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ . I downloaded zerofltetmo LRX22G.G920TUVU1AOC9 for SM-G920T.
my process:
1. Copied CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t onto phone
2. entered Downloading mode and then connected Odin
3. PHone rebooted into TWRP and then I proceeded to flash CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t.
As a result I get bootloop.
I tried downloading stock T-mobile firmware and flashing to via ODIN but it FAILED in Odin/Download mode due to SW rev check not validating. I tried to use different version of TWRP, 2.8.7.2 , 2.8.7.1 and 2.8.7.0 but bootloop continues
What can do I to fix this? I don't know what else I can try and I can't locate a stock firmware for SM-G920TZKAXAR if such exist.
Thanks!
Hello,
I need your help because I'm in real trouble.
Before I hard bricked my phone I was on the latest version of the Tyrannus Rom.
I wanted to install Xposed but I picked the wrong version.
I flashed it but I got a boot loop.
So i've downloaded the latest stock Rom from Sammobile and tried to flash it with Odin.
Odin got an error and f*cked up my download mode.
Now I'm stuck with a bricked phone with no download mode.
I only got this message on the download mode : "Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software."
Wich I did.
It downloaded the software and tried to install it but got an error at the begining of the instalation after the download.
After that I restarted it and the download mode was working, so I've tried again to install the stock firmware and didn't worked.
This was the error it gived me : "cm sw rev check fail device 4 binary 3"
Please help me.

Out of curiosity and sorry for jumping on your post but I've have not had any response on my thread and my device has been soft bricked for 4 days now.
How can i go about flashing my device if my PC wont recognise my phone. I've tried everything.
What is the situation you have is there any message or can you turn it on or can you recovery mod or download mod ?
Force it into download mode and do it again, worked for me

Hi so I get the message saying " an error occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" however i cannot get my PC to recognise my device. I have tried 6 different cables, 3 different laptops used 3 different ODIN software versions, removed kies removed and installed drivers, been into my laptop BIOS to disable 3.0 usb drivers also done this through the power saving options. Only thing I have not tried is using a 32bit computer. Surely there is a away to get my laptop to recognise this phone as i used this laptop to screw it up in the first place.
I can get it into download mode, but i cannot get it into recovery mode.
The PC shows a message saying "USB device not rocognised. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it."

Yeah I would just flash it, my issue is it will not connect to the PC. For me to flash it or transfer any image to then internal memory i need to have the laptop recognise my device connected. If i had a removable SD card i could just put TWRP on this and go into recovery but the s6 doesnt have this feature either.
I have no idea what to do. I was hoping someone would have a resolution that i have not yet tried and could get my PC to recognise the phone connected.
does odin recognize phone is connected?

Have you tried usb otg?
Try to delete USB drivers and reboot install them again
That Binary Check problem mostly means you're trying to downgrade the firmware. Look for the latest version from fw.updato.com and flash it.

Hi
I need urgent help.
I have an international version of LG Urbane 2.
The clock is currently stuck in recovery mode and the only way I can connect to it from the computer is sideload.
Fastboot does not recognize the device.
So every other version / recovery that I have tried to flash has returned a license failure and Flash experience has returned that the existing version is newer than the one I am trying to install.
Any suggestions to get out of this situation?
Does anyone have a suitable image that I can flash?
