[Q] Samsung galaxy S2 firmware error (bricked?)

Greetings;
Tonight, my friend and i wanted to root her phone... (Samsung Galaxy S2)
Unfortunately, not everything went as planed..
Files downloaded: Odin, SuperSU rooting, cm-11-20141119-NIGHTLY-i9100 and google apps and kernel..
First, we flashed kernel via Odin..then installed SuperSU from the recovery...Then the installation for Cyanogenmod11 failed...After that, the phone would not turn on..
Then, we downloaded firmware of the S2...flashed it via Odin..it stoped at 90-95% (or something like that)..and it said FAILED..
Then she turned off her phone..and the error appeared..“Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“.
..She couldn't get pass that message..She turned of her phone, got the battery out for 10 sec.. She cant enter the download mode nor the recovery mode..
Please..i beg you for some help.. ..I would hope that this resolves with a successful fix..i wouldnt want to be responsible for anyone's phone nor do i wish to see her disappointed...
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Messed up my galaxy s6 really really bad please help!!!

I realize i'm stupid af but here's what happened: I was trying to flash a custom rom to my SM-G920F galaxy s6 and accidentally uninstalled my OS. This morning I attempted to flash G920FXXU2POGN to my galaxy 6, I have no idea what the original software was. Everything was going fine until the last minute when hidden.img appeared in the odin log and the flash failed. My device now reads: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. However, neither smart switch of kies 3.0 support my device!! My device is still bootable into download mode. Please please please help. I've only had this thing for a day and I've already broken it.

Hi there, you should download smart switch and use emergency firmware recovery, From there you should click 'more' then click emergency software recovery. Key in your device SM-G920F then input your serial number (Found on your device Box, remember to connect your phone on download mode) then voila, it should download and install the latest firmware for you. hope it helps!

[Completed] Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355H)- Cannot Flash Stock

Hi, I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355H). I tried to install the official firmware for this model that I get from SamMobile by using Odin, and everything went good, no "failed" and it was showed PASS as it should. But then when I tried to reboot it, it just didnt reboot. Now I can enter to download mode, but not into recovery mode or just start it normally. Are there any possible solutions? I would really appreciate any help.
stock recovery not working tried twice
cwm not working it just shows open android chest sign but no options in recovery menu.
odin passed stock recovery
but phone turns on till EULA and all process failed eg. googlemaps failed, systemprocess.com failed, android process failed everything just fails.
need help
Hi,
You are taking the right steps. I would create a thread here and ask for help from the experts who own your device, http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-core-2
Good luck!

Greetings and welcome to xda. You can download either kies or smart switch from samsungs website and then it will automatically detect your phone and install the correct emergency recovery firmware. If this is not an option then I think this tool will work

Greetings and welcome to assist. Can you get into download mode ? Smartswitch/kies both require download mode for emergency firmware recovery. Also you could use odin if you have recovery mode
Good Luck
