[Q] SGS2 isnt starting, and not flashable

---

Hi altogether,

i have an SGS2 and got an ofer to upgrade firmware via kies. I didnt flash or root anything with this phone yet.

After flashing the phone via kies i only get the problem picture: Phone-yellowtriangle-PC. AFAIK this is the sign you get, when the bootladers are corrupted. Am i right?

NEvertheless download mode is accessable, so i downloaded a stock firmware from this site and tried to flash it via odin. It connects, starts to flash, but wont go further than SBL1 for over 10 minutes. then i stopped flashing. I tried the same with just the kernel and it flashed correctly, and the phone restarts, but just to the SGS2-screen with a yellow triangle at the bottom. No further for over 30 minutes, so i canceled that too...

Any suggestions, how i can rescue the phone? Data is not important, i just want to get it running again...

try to use the files from the next thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1075278

edit:
in addition try to preform a full wipe if the data is not important (will delete all data including the contacts)

Also make sure NO Kies related processes are running (Taskmanager -> "End Process" everything that even remotely sounds like anything containing "Kies").

Connect phone to another USB port and do not use a USB hub, connect the phone directely to the PC.

Maybe that helps a bit....

Thank you for your fast answer, but that is the guide i used first to flash a stock firmware. I maybe should have mentioned it. And thats the way it didnt work.
Just the single kernel worked out to cause a little positive result. But only seeing the start screen (not even bootlogo, and no further) is not what a phone should do.

Don't use kies, its rubbish, when this is fixed just use ODIN Use the method in intratechs thread in the dev forum, using Odin

Sent from my Samsung Galactic Crusader S II

Hope someone can help. Recovery is accessable too?

As it was Kies i would take to a service centre .

Great MAster Darkyy helped me, and gave me that advice too. I dont really understand, what exactly went wrong, but as no flashing worked....

i just build myself a JIG, reseted the counter and will send it to service now....

How can a global player like Samsung really keep crappy software like KIES on the market for such a long time??? Did it ever work???
