why do you think i am here,i will treat your reply with the contempt it deserves,unless your going to say something helpull stf up!
This forum's header is "General Questions and Answers" and you got a well-meant answer by me. You should have asked for help in forum "Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting", IMO.

Can you still boot into TWRP?
Can you still boot into the ROM that you had installed?
When you say you can't see your sdcard in TWRP, do you mean that you can't see internal sdcard or that you can't see external sdcard?
I'm pretty familiar with the S2 so I can probably help you if it is solvable.

Have you gone to "Mount" in the main menu of TWRP and mounted your SD card? I believe it will be called USB-OTG. After that, go to "Install" and tap "Change Storage Device" and select "USB-OTG".
Disclaimer: I haven't messed with the S2 in a very long time, so my apologies if I'm incorrect.

Can you still boot into TWRP? Can you connect to adb while in TWRP? If you can get adb connected while in TWRP, try using adb commands to push your ROM file to internal storage, TWRP should see it then.

Hello everyone ! I will try to explain my problem as clear as possible, hope it will be solved.
-Samsung galaxy GTi-9300, this was rooted few months ago.
-It was working fine until I uninstalled touchwiz using Nobloat app. Now, nothing besides SAMSUNG appears in the dark screen. I am not able to do anything or see anything else.
-Being smart, I connected phone with pc and opened kies , but pc/kies do not recoginise the device.
-Then tried to unroot the device, where I failed again.
So, my question is how I can install touchwiz in this case? Or any other soloution ?
ps: (there is no micro SD card in device, no back up etc )
Great thanks in advance !
Was your usb debugging turned on? or do you have a custom recovery like clockworkmod or twrp? then you can install a launcher.

I guess it wasn't turned on and custom recovery you mentioned were not installed. But there was Titanium backup installed, if that helps ??
So if you put the device in download mode, does ODIN recognize it? If so, you should be able to restore to stock from there. Your data may be lost though if you are unable to obtain files from the internal storage.

Guys I got it solved.... thanks ! I am not tech/IT guy but managed to solve it with the help of other posts in xda forums.
At first I should say that it is not my phone and don't know how exactly what happened to it
One of my friend gave it to me and told that after dropping from 1meter on the ground phone
start auto rest some times in day and after one month it got boot loop.
he take the phone to a person to fix but that guy
Said :the hard don't work.
so he decided to buy a new phone and now he asked me to find a way for fixing.
I don't believe that the hard don't work cuz I have damaged my phone hard by repapartitioning from Emmc to MTD.if the hard dosent work the phone shouldn't turn on.
Now I have a galaxy sl which could be turned on and can go to downloading mod. what should I do? his owner said he have flashed a Rom once but no result.
is there a way for fixing?
We can't say if there is a hardware damage, for sure. But, if you want to flash a new firmware, check this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894737
If the phone works well after flashing new rom, then all is fine. If not, you can go to Samsung's service center and get it checked.

Is there a way to install the cwm from stock recovery?
As far as I know, you need to connect your phone to pc to install any cwm. try reinstalling the Samsung mobile drivers, and reconnecting the phone in download mode. as long as odin detects phone in download mode, everything else is secondary.
if the internal sd is gone just stick in an external one and try flash a new rom it will install to external sd (if works like the i9000)
have you installed kies or the usb driver only package ?

the sd card work(dont know about internal)and when i go to stock recovery it detects but. ihave installed samsung usb driver
and i had galaxy s3 too so i know how does samsung devices work..i am wondering is ther a way to install clockwork recovery on galaxy sl with stock recovery...cuz when the phone go to download mod windows says unkown device .
i dont know what should i do
with odin 1.85 or 1.83(later versions seems to have some issues with this phone) even if windows doesn't recognize the phone it must be shown as a connected com port (with my original rom the phone has never been recognized by the sistem)
if this dosen't occur i think you cuold try to use hendmall on any linux live distro or adb but with standard recovery i don't know if you can access the phone trought it
the install update from .zip in standard recovery if i remember well dosen't workin this case it gives error probably because the original samsung rom packages are recognized by the SS_DL.dll or any other file inside of it inside all the official roms but this is just my modest opinion i'm not sure at 100% on the ddl story you have nothing to loose anyway so you can give a try with this way

I tried formatting it by odin...tried pushing the stock rom using adb... but adb doesn't recognise any phone connected...odin keeps failing...also i wanted to ask if cwm can read files from external sd card... thanks
Yes… cwm can flash zip from sd card too
Sent from my A90S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Do you have your drivers of samsung installed on your pc? When they aren't on you pc it could be that odin and adb fails or doesn't recognize your phone.
But i keep getting an error when i mount the sd card...whats the procedure to flash from external sd? about the drivers i have them all installed...
Hello,
Yesterday I wanted to partition my SD card for my Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (i9105p). And I followed those steps on a website (sorry, I'm new on this forum, I can't post the link... Googled "How to manually partition your SD card for Android Apps2SD" and go in the first website).
On this website, I used Android Device Bridge (ADB). (Step 1: in ADB, I wrote "adb shell". Step2: "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0". Step3: "print". Step4: "rm 1", "rm 2"...).
I think that I did a very very very bad thing in step 4. I removed all the partitions of my internal memory (including the SYSTEM).
I followed all steps. At the end, I push the Power button to select "Reboot your system". And the screen became black and then nothing !
My phone can't power on. I can't go into recovery mode. I can't go into download mode. My phone is not detected in my computer !
So my phone is completly bricked !!
Before doing this, I had Cyanogenmod 11 thanks to the post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-plus/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-t2800254
Please tell me that there is a solution.
Thank you.
try a usb jig

Hi, Thanks for replying.
I didn't know the usb jig. When I googled it I found that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-usb-jig-faq-frequently-questions-t1402286
I think that it's only for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (but I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus (i9105P)).
And, according to this website, it solved only soft bricked phones. However, my phone is hard bricked, and maybe worse (if it's possible...) !
Indeed, I think that I completely removed the OS (since I removed all the partitions !) and it cannot boot !
Are you sure that it can solve my problem (before I buy it) ?
My phone had at the beginning 8GB.
Is there a way to boot the phone on a SD card ? (I have 8GB on it)
If there is, can you explain me how to do it step by step (I'm a newbie, I don't understand everything sorry).
Thank you again.
Usb jig works every Samsung phones. Usb jig can safe your hard bricked phone too.
When u put jig in, ur phone boots to download mode and you are able download Stock firmware to your phone.
I am not completely sure if it will help. If the download mode stuff is also stored on the mmc chip, how could it boot to download mode then?

No even your bootloader is erased(at least I think so). And even if you can boot to anything, your efs partition is wiped and things like radio, bluetooth, wifi may not work anymore

Need a bit of help. Phone is bricked. Can't get it into recovery or download mode.
Odin doesn't recognize the phone. My laptop recognizes it as QHSUSB_BULK. Is there a way to fix this phone? Any help would be appreciated.

The first question is :
What were you doing with the phone when this happened?
What version of Odin are you using?
Do you have the Samsung USB drivers installed on your computer?
What is your computer's operating system?
Use battery and back in phone
Charging on 100%
Turn off phone.
Download samsung driver on laptop
Download last Odin
Download first firmware for 915A, search on this forum. Kit kat.
Turn on phone in download mode
And flash first official rom.

I wasn't doing anything, this is my father's phone. From what he told me, he was having some software issues and then he let one of his co-workers reset the phone. It was working fine for a while but then it just shut off which is how it got to its current state.
I'm using v3.12.3
Yes I have the USB drivers installed

Someone with N915A can create for you the debrick.img. With that debrich.img you flash it to the external Sdcard (not internal storage) via win32diskimager. Make sure your batterycapacitiy is not less than 30%. Try to start the phone and it should flash the debrick.img and then boot to rom.
Or you can try putting this in your 16GB Sdcard formatted as Fat32. It is for N910A but they are similar, only the edge panel.

I put the file on the SDCard, with it being formatted to fat32. Nothing happens.
Also I'd like to try the debrick method but I don't know anyone with a N915A so if anyone could make one I'd appreciate it.
