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
Recently i flashed alliance rom version 1 on my 5.1.1 G920i samsung galaxy s6 because i was stupid and tired, anyway... ever since then i've been stuck in a boot loop but when i went into recovery mode via TWRP i couldn't restore any backups or anything and nothing worked. When i plugged my phone into my pc it wasn't registered even after installing drivers, odin or command prompt couldn't detect it either. So now i have an S6 that has been factory reset on a ROM that doesn't work and my phone won't register on pc at all. Tried on 2 different pc's.

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.

Hey bois,
I'm still sitting with 5.0.1 on my n915v because I dont have the verizon sim to upgrade it. Am I able to flash the Marshmallow over Odin even though my bootloader is locked?
I have an error when trying to update over Kies3 since when it downloads the update, it runs the phone in download mode and is not able to detect it. And when i try to connect the phone with Kies3 while in download mode it says that my phone is not supported by Kies3.
So im jsut being left with a temporary downloaded file. Is it possible to flash that file via Odin?

Hello Guys,
A few days ago my s4 rebooted by itself and after that i was not able to boot it again. I can't boot into recovery mode but i am able to get in the download mode so i flash the stock firmware and pit file. I flashed kitkat on my phone and before it i had lollipop. After flashing the stock firmware the phone just didn't boot and i was not able to get into the recovery mode so i tried to flash the firmware again but the firmware didn't flashed successfully and i tried it for many times. So i changed my bootloader back to the lollipop one and now when i try to flash the firmware it starts and then stops on flashing system.img.ext4 and my phone lights turn off but odin still shows that my phone is connected and if i disconnect my phone it fails and then my phone has a message that firmware update encountered an issue but i am able to solve it by flashing the pit file. I don't know what is going on with my phone. any help will be appreciated.
