Warning with odin and cf-root - Galaxy S II General

Dear all
I'm used to root my phone or tablet (kaiser, topaz, transformer). I've try this week to root my galaxy s2 (g i9100p with i3) with odin and a cf.root for it.
I follow strictly the several tuto is found and after correct flash(all green) the s2 refuse to restart. After two days turning ariund i found an issue with my usb connector. I changed and everything works find. If it can help

I fail to see why that would be caused by a problem of odin or cfroot.

ur info is incomplete! First of all ur not clear whether u flashed I9100/I9100P kernel or I1900G version, also make sure u used correct version of kernel. bcoz i have done it some 3-4 times never gone wrong no issues.. Did u try to turn on phone to download mode? Is it working?

Anyway I really wonder how Odin+CF Root will damage your usb connector. Your cable is problematic, not Odin.

He is saying that odin didn't recognize the problem with his usb. Perhaps something that could be improved upon. Could've been explained better though
I has a sig

Dear all,
Clearly odin cannot dommage physicaly a usb cable or we are all together living inside the Matrix.
What i try to explain is that my computer have a usb port not well configured. I try to use odin on this slot and odin they PASS but in fact the flash crash.
I change the port and reuse odin and this time it works.
So the only concern is link to the realiability of odin, the fact that it state that the flash was passed and it was not the case.
This tools works well it's only a warning and not at all a critic against it.

Please read my comments i'm never spoke about pb of selection of incorrect cfroot. It's only a question of hardware and reliability of the status of the flash by odin. But sorry my english is maybe to poor to be understandable.

Error 404 on the google doc link
I posted a question a few days ago asking how to unroot and revert back to stock. I have a physical phone problem with my device and need warranty repairs.
If I follow your post instr then I will end up with the JB OTA stock image, unrooted with a locked bootloader? If so it's the answer I've been looking for!

It would get your phone to stock 4.1,1 official google image not rooted... as for the bootloader it locks it. But if not you could just use the "fastboot oem lock" comand

A script can accomplish anything that a user can accomplish on their own by doing the same commands. If there is a hardware or software error on the device that is preventing it from working the manual way then the script won't work either.

Hi ... yes I understand what you're saying. My phone's problem is possibly the micro USB port, seems to be working poorly. Phone charges but my PC and laptop suddenly don't recognise the device when connected by cable. Bear in mind I did drop my phone in muddy grass (ports got mud-filled) three days earlier, causing latent damage only now seen.
SO b4 I take it for warranty repair need to unroot etc but all methods required a working USB cable ... this method seems to be the answer I need. You agree?
You still need usb for this... you have to have usb debugging on....copy the folder to your computer and click run. It will do the rest with a few keys

So...I have not fully understood the OP's method. I foolishly assumed this procedure didn't require USB connection to my PC (which does not work anymore because PC no longer recognises my device via cable after some likely water damage).
Any idea how I can revert back to stock JB or ICS with a locked bootloader unrooted etc WITHOUT connecting to my PC via cable?? I really need to get this fixed under warranty.
Thanks in advance.
it says "waiting for device" and stops there...why??what can i do??
Learn how to do it the manual way and stop with these IMHO stupid damn toolkits.
Not directed at you or anybody but if you're not capable of installing drivers and unlocking with fastboot etc you have no business to actually have root access/unlocked bootloader etc.
any one can provide me mirrror for both cannot download from 4shared

USB Jig for S4

I've tried my USB jig on my i9505 and my uncles i9500 with my jig and my brothers jig, and surprisingly, they still get the phones into download mode. I'm not sure if it resets the flash counter though.
Feature:
Forcing device into download mode.
Removing Triangle but not resetting flash counter??? (Still Unconfirmed)
TL;DR USB JIGS DO WORK, HOWEVER THEY ONLY PLACE THE PHONE INTO DOWNLOAD MODE!
I'll update the thread for newbs and noobs with a guide on how to use a USB jig, it's a good investment if you're scared you might brick your phone, they cost around a £1.
If you cannot obtain a USB Jig by purchasing, consider borrowing one, here are threads that have names of people who are available to lend you a USB jig:

I thought it'd stop working after the S3 but I'm happy it works, now I don't have to buy more tools and shiz!
Off-topic:
Also my post restrictions are really annoying!
My counter is currently on 3 so, if no one tries it in the mean time, I will try this with my I9100 jig at home later this evening and let you know if it resets it.

So it puts the device into download mode, does not reset the flash counter but does get rid of the triangle noting an insecure kernel? Then it works better than it does on the S3

Seems like it. I did not use the triangle away or anything like that but I did flash an insecure kernel for rooting and did not get the yellow triangle.
Also confirming that usb jig will go into download mode, but will not set counter to 0 or "official". Used triangle away to do that.

Since USB jigs are confirmed to at least place the phone into download mode, shouldn't we tell a mod or someone to place a link or something to the "Borrow a JIG" thread that's in the S2 and S3 forums?

To reset the counter by jig we need an unlocked bootloader. The jig works, but we don't have the proper bootloader ...

I Hardbricked my i9500 :(

Hello XDA,
So yesterday i installed the pac-man ROM 4.4.2 on my Galaxy S4 (i9500) and all was going well. Then i tried installing Unicon ( a utility which manages your icon packs). I have installed this app on every android phone i have ever had and every time it asks me to go into xposed and enable it like it usually does.
So i go into xposed and i click on install/update. It shows a dialog saying that (some file name i don't remember) is already there and continue if you are feeling adventurous. Being the stupid person I am i continued.
After switching off the device, the screen is absolutely black and does not even go to download mode or recovery mode.
Please help me I'm almost crying as the warranty just ran out and it wont get replaced or anything. I don't even have the money to buy a new phone right now.
Please tell me what to do to fix this i don't care about the data or anything i just want my phone to be fixed please help me..........:crying:

Not an expert but try to buy an USB JIG that force your phone into download mode. At that point, you can flash a recovery or a rom directly via odin. :good:
Well, it has nothing to do with Xposed. You can almost impossible brick it that way.
Did you try a simple thing like taking the battery out?
Yes I tried removing everything I could including battery Sim card SD card. Still not working. some people have said that in hard brick their devices give out red led but my phone doesn't even do that. Its just like a brick. Somebody pls help me ;( my dad doesn't let me use the credit card online and I can't find the USB jig anywhere near me so I can't get it.

Your phone is not bricked. The way you descriped is almost impossible to brick it.
You got a faulty battery or a hardware failure.
Hi,
I and a friend had a similar issue to yours. Our S4 was very slow and we took out the battery, now it doesn't even show Samsung Splash Screen (same issue, different context). Unfortunately, JIG won't do the work there (I tried).
While my friend sent it to warranty I didn't have mine because it was bought in US and I'm from Brazil. It looks like a viable way of solving it is using a tool called JTAG, I'm waiting for a friend to bring to my town his JTAG to see if it works, I'll report here the results, I recommend you searching for it .

Hi,
JIG will only work
if you can get at least in Splash Screen, if it doesn't give any life signal, then I get that you can't get into Splash Screen, therefore, JIG won't do the work.

Hi,
There are people who can do the JTAG work, they charge some money but fix it. Even though it is way cheaper than getting a JTAG interface . Buying a device would be way more expensive, and I think it wouldn't be really worth, like you mentioned .

Guys, I like the talk about JTAG, but I don't think it will do him any good.
His device is not bricked. Xposed only installs in /system/bin (if I am not mistaken). Thus it's impossible to brick it that way. It does nothing to the bootloader, download mode or any other partition.
He has clearly a faulty battery or an other hardware failure. He just had bad luck imo.
Are you sure about that? I'll try changing the battery.... But as I said I can't enter download mode or recovery ,both are symptoms of a hard brick....
And any idea where I can find a person with JTAG in Gurgaon(India)?

I've sent it to a local repair shop nearby. . Not samsung..
He took the phone for a week and a half. He could not fix it.
He told me he even tried J tag..
His conclusion was that the motherboard is broken.
But I don't believe him because I think if the motherboard is truly broken the PC would not recognize the phone..

His conclusion was that the motherboard is broken.
But I don't believe him because I think if the motherboard is truly broken the PC would not recognize the phone..
What do you guys think?

If it's that broken I suggest to take it to Samsung. They won't see any modifications anymore and won't take the time to dig deeper. Just tell em it did shutdown somewhere in standby overdays and never woke up anymore.

I understand you're having trouble getting your N9005 to download mode. I was having the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/help-sm-n9005-hard-bricked-sd-partial-t3070743 check my thread, it could be helpful to you.
See the threads I've mentioned on it. Maybe you can get ODIN to recognize your phone. But probably that won't be enough, at least it wasn't for me. You can give it a try though...

PIT file is a saving grace if it works. I've tried 6 different ones so far and none of them worked. Any other suggestion?

Need a little help...

I accidentally messed around with my build.prop and mistyped something causing my phone to brick. So the problem atm is I can't even use my phone with messages popping up such as "Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped working" and "Unfortunately the process Home has stopped working." I tried to factory resetting which didn't work at all. Right now I am trying to fix it through flash but I can't since when I plug my USB into my computer, I can't changed my USB settings to MTP and since the messages shown above keeps popping up preventing me from clicking anything on my screen. Any help would be appreciated!
You "accidentally messed arround with the build.prop"???
Can you access TWRP recovery?
You do know that you can transfer files over it?

Oops stated that wrong. Guess I was in a hurry trying to fix my phone but no it was not an accident. And sorry, not too good at this stuff but what is TWRP recovery?

.___.
It is a modernised recovery menu,with easier,touch controls.
Basically a MUST when flashing roms.
I guess you dont have that...
Now the only thing you can do is flash the stock rom again with the kdz or tot method.
DO NOT TRY RESTORING IT WITH LG PC SUITE!
It will brick your device,because it had been rooted(LG made that on purpose-"kill dem rooted phones")

I stated above in the post that I had already tried flashing but it says my phone was not plugged into the pc. I can't change to option of the USB to MTP which then my computer can't recognize.

With the LG PC Suite,LG Flash Tool or the TOT method?
They react differently.
And if your phone won't ,you either have no drivers,or have bad ones.
Try on another PC also,but be sure to have drivers installed.
Connect the device inDOWNLOAD MODE

I used the LG Flash Tool. I downloaded the driver I believe called the LG United something, don't exactly remember the name.
I tried on 2 PCs already with the same result unable to recognize my phone even though I hear the sound when I plug it in.
And how do I connect it through download mode? Jk I found out how. I'll see what happens next.

Meh,sounds like your Download Mode
is also broken.
Does anything happen when you turn your g2 completely off and connect it to the PC?

EDIT
Also,make a screenshot with the Snipping Tool of the Device Manager when your G2 is connected

If you aren't flashing anything,it will show 0%. xD

This is the guide for both KDZ and TOT methods.
I also had a simmilar issue,but my flashes with KDZ would always stop at 2%.
So I went with the TOT method and it worked.

The box your phone came in has the model number(if you cant recognise the model number,take pictures of all sides of the box,and I will tell you(do hide/cover the IMEI number))

I currently don't have a device for taking a photo but I found the box and I believe this is the model #: LGLS980WTK
But comparing it to the 4 downloads, I can't seem to find it... any help?
The 4 Downloads are: LS980ZV8_13.zip, LS980ZVA_01.zip, LS980ZVC_12.zip, LS980ZVE_03.zip

Ok I have a problem atm of getting an error when flashing:
Error:CrossDL [SM-G920F] to [LS980]
That was the model I was trying to change to during build.prop, and I'm assuming the flash is assuming my model is the samsung one.
Do you have teamveiwer I might be able to help you out. Otherwise you can get your phone fixed on eBay like I did when I super bricked my phone.

I suggest you ask in that thread.
I probably could help you if you had an international d802 variant.
Other variants(especially operator-modified ones) are not familiar to me.
