A big probleme

Hello everyone I'm a newbie in Android. A had a Nokia N97 mini and now i bought a Samsung Galaxy S 2. Beeing new to Android it was kinda hard the first days to adapt. But i did. And now to tell you about my problem.
Whenever i try to copy some movies/sounds/photos from pc to S2 it gives me this error "The path is too deep". So i tried to copy in a more direct path.. Still nothing... But the big problem is that i cannot update my phone through Odin. Wheter is Android 2.3.3 KE7 or 2.3.4 KG1 or a ROM I'm not able to do it. And I decided to update thru Kies. All good but the update failed... It said it need to enter Recovery Mode. I clicked ok and then my pc rebooted. Then i got this image on my phone with a pc and a phone, chained together by an exclamation mark inside an orange triangle... And now i cannot restart my phone, i can't do anything.
Is it bricked? Please help me...

Ok. Stop. Breath. Your phone isnt bricked...yet.
Your phone is currently in 'download mode'.
Im not sure which directions you were following, did you download the software from intratechs thread in development? If so, he has step by step directions in the opening post.
You should be looking to install kf2.

Remember, your phone is already in download mode. So just connect it to the pc, and then dont touch it .

If your pc is rebooting when you try to perform an update then it's more than likely an issue with your pc.
I don't think your phone is bricked as stoney73 has stated as well it's in download mode

bricking a phone isn't that simple unless something abnormal happens (e.g. unplugging the cable while flashing a rom), I am sure your phone is fine. The feeling I have is the drivers in your PC are not installed/working properly, since I don't see the reason that flash via Odin will fail (Kies is another story...), try reinstall the driver and flash again
you may like to read this amazing thread to understand some fundamental terms (such as recovery and download mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290

Also remember that Kies often gets in conflict with Odin, so open task manager in windows and kill all kies processes before using Odin.

Friends, i know what Download Mode is. And i tell you this is not the case. The phone was in recovery mode and then, all of a sudden an image appeared: and that image is not download mode. It's a little phone and a pc connected together by a small triangle orange with an "!" in it. I repeat, it's not in download mode.
If i pull out the battery the phone shuts down. Then i put the battery back in, start the phone in download mode :Vol down+Home+Lock and it sais :Vol Down-Restart the phone or Vol Up- Enter Down Mode. If i press vol down the phone shows that irritating image again(with the phone and the pc) and if i press vol up it enters download mode...
The firmware is official... Will i need a USB Jig to bring back my phone to life ?
PS: I have the latest drivers, Any Kies process has been stoped in Task Manager before the update and i followed step-by-step guides to update it. I tried 2.3.3 KE7, 2.3.4 KG1 and Lit'ning ROM. Neither would work for me, update failed at all was shown...
I'm really desperate...

Can you take a photo of what you are seeing?

this is it...

That is also download mode. So your phone isnt bricked. If you connect your phone to the pc, stop kies from running, and then run odin, does the square under id:com turn yellow?
like this:

what should i do ? Should i try again with odin ?
In the PDA Section What should i put in ? WHat's the latest firmware...
LE: Yes that square turns yellow and it sais added but after a few seconds the whole thing freezes... No progress bar, nothing...

The thing to do is to follow the directions in Intratechs thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
From Intratechs opening post:
"1. Just download the firmware version you want from above and extract the .tar file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.(Ignore, your phone is already in download mode, )
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!(again ignore, you are already in download mode.)
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes. "

Yes it freezes or it sais this(see above)

I maybe accidently have ticked repartition... is this a dead end ?

Try uninstalling kies AND the usb drivers then install them again and try once more.
Do you have access to another PC?
Are you using the official samsung usb cable?

So i should uninstall kies and then try again with odin? Yes i use the official Samsung USB Cable...

Just saw your post about clicking repartition are you sure you done this?
If you have then you need a .pit file as per intratech's notes on the dev forum
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
I think you might need to flash the csc, pda, pit and everything else separately.
Can some others confirm this?

I kinda trusted this site, this is where i got the instructions...

Look at your computer screen when flashing and check in Odin when the process stops. What does Odin write?

look at the sequnce, he did not reset the odin, and he did not "restart" the phone to donwload mode after flash the pit file.

Did you put it in download mode again after flashing the pit file?

Restart your computer and try once again. I have stuck many time at system.rfs. Restart your pc. It will help you.

Actually, Try flashing with another computer. I have a feeling that your USB port's are having loose contact.

where ?? tell me

I kinda highly doubt. Try one of these 2.
- Use another internet browser and redownload the firmware. You probably have a corrupt download. Never heard of a phone that's locked by carrier for samsung. Impossible really.
- Use another USB port.
Do these 2 and let me know

You can try to build or buy a jig. If that doesn't work you're fubar. Learn from this experience and next time use the carpenters saying : measure twice , cut once. I wish you best of luck.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

where can i buy the jig ?
or how can i build it ?

You can buy it on eBay, or search in these sections (or google "SGS jig") for instructions to make it.
You'll need a microUSB cable and a 301k resistor (example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551)

ok , i know what a JIG is , and i found one on ebay ,
but they will ask me to torn on the phone , and at this moment , i`m not able to turn it one , do u think that once i plugin the JIG it will turn one ? and do his job ?

IDK but you can try, it's not expensive.

ok i will order 1 , and hope will make my phone turn on !
wish me luck , anc if u have other opptions just to make it turn ON just let me know !
thanks

other ideeas ? i`m ready to test them all )

EDIT!!!

you need the S2 forums, they may help.

Urgent help needed! S7 edge stuck in recovery mode

Hello everyone. Was trying to update my S7 Edge to the latest firmware, India. However. the phone got stuck in recovery mode. Cant even switch off the phone. Tried to reinstall in recovery mode once but that too failed.
Also the screen is on and the phone is warm for mre than 5 hrs. I am afraid some internal hardware might get damages. Its stuck on the green screen which reads :An error has occurred whil;e updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in smartswitch PC software.
The service centre are closed for two days due to Ganpati festival here. Need your urgent help.

Is this "recovery screen" cyan/blue? If yes then it's a odin recovery mode.
Just hold volume down + home + power until Your phone force reboots to odin mode.
But. If that doesn't do anything or still shows You that recovery screen, then just open odin on Your PC and connect Your phone. It should find Your phone anyway. Now all You have to do is flash any kind of image if Your phone has working boot.img and system.img. If not then reflash whole firmware and You should be fine

OK. Never realized a thumbs up thanks works more than a written and acknowledged thanks. Have done it.
Have been going through some tutorials. Just have a query whether to add CSC file or Home CSC file to odin folder?

So finally tried installing through odin. But received a fail message. Any suggestions? Received the following msgs.

Sorry. I was busy.
Okay!
Tap on AP in odin and add Home image and then tap on start. Home image should be around 3-4GB.
Edit: make sure that You have newest odin and proper firmware for Your phone.

Thanks again. I did try uploading all four files. AP, BL, CP and Home CSC.
So after tapping on AP i should add AP file right which is 4.2 GB? Didnt get any home image file.
Sorry for the silly questions. I am a complete noob in all this.
Update: Finally managed to restore via smartswitch. Thank you everyone

I'm happy You fixed it .
Just in case if You'll need extra help later. (Or anyone else)
Inside the zip file that You download from sammobile should be couple of files. One of them should be named Home_something.tar.md5 - this one goes to AP.
Then You should press start and let it do its work. But if Smartswitch works for You then no need to worry.

Just to inform you if there is a next time, try another USB port and/or a different USB cable (ie. the original one)

same issue
i have pretty much the same issue but mine is stuck via a bad rom. the problem I have now is my computer will not recognize it when I plug into usb. any ideas?

This looks more like emmc chip (your phone's storage chip) error, you already lost all your data and if its a hardware issue then i doubt software reflash could fix it, but do tell me what was your current firmware number which was in your phone before all this , also send a pic of download mode..
Also what screen stripes you were talking about in your earlier thread? Send a screenshot of them too (looks more like a hardware problem too)
If you can't post images here on xda, just upload to an external site like imgur and send your pic link here ..
Per my best knowledge, smart switch doesnot support emergency recovery anymore (but if it still supports in some old versions or it works - then please do try that too) .. Good luck

that sucks man
what about the emmc chip , would it be possible to do a chip off recovery?
what i dont understand is that if its a hardware issue then why does it even turn on and allow me to go to the recovery mode

What was the last firmware present on your phone. Hardware damage is always tricky.. sometimes it allows phone to boot with weird things going on before completely failing..
I can see that your bootloader number is 2 , i will give you the combination rom, try flashing that in odin
Be warned that all your data in your phone is already lost, at this point your only goal is to make your phone working again, thats where i am helping..
Combination u2 rom : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JKDiV3LmqUt8GLlOLnmZ6Xsqxn-Hpv9d/view?usp=drivesdk
Flash it in odin 3.14.4 and untick auto reboot in odin options, if flashing is successful .. ur phone will still be in download mode.. hold vol down + home + pwr button to force reboot and when phone starts rebooting( screen goes black ) immediately change holding from vol down to vol up+ home + pwr buttons , trick here is to force reboot to recovery directly from download mode without booting combination rom, do a factory data wipe in combination recovery.. then clear cache and then try reboot to combination rom..
If you could boot into combination rom, run some hardware tests.. and report back, if everything goes good, we can try flashing the last stock firmware that was present on your device, Good luck

I honestly dont remember the exact firmware details, all i know is that it was Nougat 7.0 and an update was available for a long time but i didnt update as i had no space (like only 800 or 900mb was left)
I see, so the data is lost.
Soo this combination U2 rom , it will replace the rom which was previously installed?
Sorry i am just trying to learn more about this combination U2 rom as i have never read about it
Thanks

It will just help to unbrick your device (provided that it gets flashed successfully in odin first)
Just follow my steps in above post after (if) odin could flash successfully.

You tried flashing already..
Flashing anything has the risk to lose all your data if you have no backup before ..
And flashing with HOME CSC doesn't erases data..
But as you said you tried flashing various stock firmwares, but odin failed in the middle..
So yeah, i think your data is already lost
But if it was that important , i seen some android programs which can recover deleted files from phone but they are mostly paid and also phone should be in working condition..
Also there are professional data recovery companies who would take in your phone and pull its memory chip apart and use their special hardware on that chip to extract anything they could.. but there is no guarantee that you will get back any important data from it and their cost is huge for this process..
Thats why its recommended to always keep a back up of all your data

yes i tried flashing the stock but that recovery.img error occurs.
i have always read people say that you lose data after flashing a stock rom which isnt true as i recently flashed Note 3 Neo SM N7502 and Note 3 SM-N9005
both with stock rom and all the data, apps and contacts were intact.
i only used the AP files on both and nothing else
but i have never flashed a combination rom so was curious if the data is erased if that is flashed.
Yes, i have seen several apps like wondershare/dr fone which can recover the data but the problem is they either require root or say if unrooted the USB debugging has to be on , in my case i never rooted nor turned on the USB debugging mode as i never needed it.
i live in dubai , currently i am searching for someone who can professional pull out all the data from the chip but due to the coronavirus lockdown all shops are shut and even online technician arent active.
Yes its better to always backup the data, it happened so suddenly as i mentioned in my first post it automatically went blank when i plugged in my usb
anyhow i will try to flash the combination rom and let you know
Thanks

You cannot compare a note 3 with s7 series generation lol
And yes , flashing a stock rom wipes all data if you DON'T choose HOME _ CSC in csc box..
Flashing with home_csc won't cause data loss but its akin to a dirty flash .. causes problems and is there for upgrading android os without data loss, and its not generally a good thing to NOT wipe data and factory reset after flashing as it causes problems..
IF YOU INTEND TO DO A PROFESSIONAL RECOVERY OF YOUR DATA DON'T FLASH ANYTHING ANYMORE AS IT WILL FURTHER MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO RETRIEVE !
WARNING : combination rom would wipe all your data, so be warned if you flash it, it would be even more difficult to recover data ..

hmm i see,
