[Q] Black screen on galaxy S II :( (not sure if it's a brick or not)

Hi pros, I owned a galaxy S II. I was happy with it and I suddenly wanted to upgrade as I wanted to keep up with the latest firmware. So I upgraded from Gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. I downloaded the odin3 and I accessed the download mode so I started the upgrade. The upgrade was done but the phone didn't reboot! So I shut it down and rebooted and the phone turned like this

Is there any way I can solve this issue without the need of sending it for a repair? Any helps appreciated. TKs.

Try using keis emergency firmware recovery in tools if that dont work get a jig from ebay

take the battery out for like 2 mins, and try accessing the download mode again. don't panic, its not a hardware brick mate.

Thanks for ur generous replies guys!

Flash another firmware from scratch using Odin. Use Intratech's ROMs, its under the Original Development section. If you want, you can use the latest XWKI4.

Thanks for replying. Can I flash back my original 2.3.3 firmware or use the ZCKH2 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Firmware which I wanted earlier?

Where do you live exactly? ZC firmware is for Asian users. Do you live in Asia? If yes, feel free. Just use Intratech's pack for a change, and dont rush things.

You guys need to read more before trying to flash stuff on your phones, thank god Samsung made this phone difficult to brick
Click here and read carefully before flashing
Bare in mind these roms are for the international version I9100

Actually, no. Your phone is different to the international SGSII. Get it from Samfirmware.
Mind you it's a 3 package odin flash. You select Code for PDA, Modem for Phone, and CSC for CSC. No repartition, no pit file. Also make sure to select the above files first, THEN connect your phone to the pc, and start the flashing.

I suppose that's the right place to look at.
I am not certain about this, however. You *should* be able to flash the international software.
Do you remember the version of your old software? was it ZC?

I am not too sure what to suggest. You tried ZCKH2 and failed, is that correct? Odin said passed with green letters etc? Do you want to try that once more, then if it fails again, use an international firmware?

Before it got bricked, Odin showed a fail sign when I started the update. My phone was purchased from singapore by the way.

1337m rogers (need help updating)

Hey there,
A few months back I was ****ing around with lots of different ROMS but since I had the 1337m I had a lot of MODEM issues and settled on the DEFAULT.
I forgot about it and recently I realized 4.4.2 is out officially for my device!
I wanted to upgrade OTA and it says "Your device has been modified" I tried to do a FACTORY RESET and that didn't work, still same message.
What do I do?
Do I flash another ROM? or what's the steps?
I'd appreciate some advice/tips!

Have you try installing an original from sammobile??

You'll download a zip. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file. Flash that in Odin on your pc. Google Odin 1.85. You'll use the PDA slot in Odin. Phone needs to be in download mode and connected to your usb port.

I have the latest ODIN
do I need to download that specific one?
because the latest one doesnt have PDA

3.09 Odin is recommendable, in the download page says so, maybe u can use that one.

It this official firmware is loaded : Will it lockup the phone from being rooted and custom recovery from being installed??
Model: SGH-I337M
Model name: GALAXY S4
Country: Canada (Rogers)
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 880525
Build date: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 16:41:46 +0000
Product Code: RWC
PDA: I337MVLUFNC1
CSC: I337MOYAFNC1
MODEM: I337MVLUFNC1

This happened with me too, but my device was not rooted or anything at the time. I just ended up going to Kies 3 and it asked to update, and worked perfectly fine.
If that doesn't work. try finding a stock rom, but other than that, the Kies method should work perfectly fine.

.....

...Yes, but by updating via Kies or from Samsung Mobile Firmware, will it then lock up the phone and prevent
rooting and custom recovery?

I'm not to sure about that, but when my phone had that message, I updated via Kies, and then I could root right after and everything was working fine as can be.

Anyone load the 4.4.2 official from Samsung mobile yet? Did it prevent rooting and custom recovery?
I am having problems with my 7500mah battery (ZeroLemon). Plugged in for 4 hours and it only charged to 75%. The 7000mah on my S3
would fully charge in that time from approximately 10%.
Not happy with my S4 to this point.... Running the Skyfall ROM and the vibration is VERY week....... Anyone??
Suggestions?????

I installed the original 4.4.2 stock Samsung rom. I ****ed something up hard and flashed that rom via Odin and everything seems to be working just fine. Also, I don't think it prevented rooting, as after I installed the stock rom, I rooted again and it worked fine.
Also, custom roms seem to be very buggy on GS4s for some reason. I know on certain roms sound, calling and texting all don't work. But the vibration might be a problem with the rom.

[Q] how to downgrade lollipop to kitkat?

Hi. I have recently updated my note 3 N9005 Lte from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipoo and also updated the BL,CSC,CP AND PIT File. Now is it possible to downgrade it back to Kitkat firmware? N9005XX...B7 BTU version ?

It's pretty simple.
1. Do the factory reset
2.Install KK via odin
3. Enjoy your KK
It worked for me on GNG1 ROM

I wouldn´t risk to do it like this. If you have updated the bootloader, I think you can´t just flash the KK via Odin. If you have updated the bootloader, there is no back to roll back. If not, you have still a chance.

do upgrade with odine?????

I tried downgrading using the Leaked Polish KitKat to no help.
First tried to downgrade using the original Australian one. It failed by Odin.
Then tried with a .PIT file and the corresponding Germany firmware, didnt work either. Phone wasnt even switching on, gave some error saying firmware update went wrong, connect to Kies... or something similar.
Just to see I reinstalled the Lollipop, It worked just fine.
Then saw about the Polish KitKat leak with all the BL/CSC/AP and all files, downloaded and tried.
For my joy, It installed just fine, but my joy ended when I booted into the OS, it was all buggy, network not working, constant app crashing, camera fail, and made me really scared when It showed that my IMEI number is NULL!! I thought Im so done....
Then tried the German KitKat with the Polish leak's Boot Loader (BL) file, it failed too.
Since I was so worried about the phone getting address-less (No IMEI, no other addresses) I tried reinstalling the Lollipop leak.
It worked again like a charm, and my IMEI n everything else is back.
So looks like Ill have to wait till we get an official Lollipop update, so I can get out of the leak.

Factory Binary - Successful downgrade from MM to LP

I stumbled across this file on the net and thought I would give it a spin.
I was on Firmware N910VVRU2CPF3 dated June 2016
I flashed the "Combination file" using Odin 3.10.7
COMBINATION_VZW_FA44_N910VVRU2APB1_VZW2APB1_2932719_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
I then flashed N910VVRU2BPA1 firmware from here
It worked and now I am on 5.1.1
I wanted to go lower but, because of the Binary being fused at 2, I was unable.
Perhaps someone can find a way to get back to 4.4.4 with this so we can root with CF Auto Root.
For those that might be confused on how to use this..
1. Place your phone in Download mode
2. Open Odin on your PC, select the AP button, and then select the combination file that you just downloaded..
3. After install the phone will reboot and it will be in a Factory repair or test mode.. feel free to tinker and explore.
4. Power off your phone and go back to download mode.
5. Go back into Odin and flash your desired firmware which would be 5.1.1 and above.

Perhaps ?
I have seen several warnings not to take any updates past a certain date on Android 6.0.1, otherwise you cannot go back, as the newer firmware prevents any downgrading in lieu of "security patch".
The Combination file enables you to install any firmware or newer than its specific binary.
In running this you will notice a bare bones KitKat 4.4.4 AOSP UI.
The Binary is fused for loading only firmware that includes KNOX, as it was first introduced as of 5.1.1 for the SM-N910V
Which is my belief why it is such a secret to go back.

unnecessary ! you can flash back to lollipop(5.1.1 bpa1) with Odin without the need of this binary and Knox hit the scene on jellybean final bud (4.3)

@mojoswagger1980
Please show me 4.3 firmware for the SM-N910V
The Verizon Note 4 Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 then to 5.1.1
Per Samsung the update from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 installed Knox on the SM-N910V.
This Binary is very useful ..
But glad to know you don't like that I posted it.

Lol the sm 900v (note3) premiered on 4.3 essentially the same phone seriously. For the record you said Knox kept us from downgrading as of lolipop I then corrected that statement with mine . device model firmware doesn't apply given that Knox was universaly added to all android devices at that time

Check to make sure you are not using a USB3 port. I always have issues with USB3.

Those of you that have downgraded back to 5.1.1. I have a question for you.
While on 6.0.1, did you have problems with your GPS with it losing signal? IF SO, did downgrading back to 5.1.1 solve this problem?
I've been having problems with my GPS for quite awhile now and I can't figure out if the problem is related to 6.0.1, loose screws or oxidation of the contacts inside of my phone.

Know what? I think all my laptop usb are usb3. I'll try my older laptop and let you know

i needed a pit file for the note 4 vzw i added that and erased the partition via odin and now im flashing 5.1.1 no errors this time

GPS Signal I believe is hardware related and I have that problem as well..
This appears to be the most feasible approach to fixing it and I will be attempting this shortly as it is not the same phone model but possibly the same cause for the issue.

[Help] SM-G935T Bricked?

Hello,
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Tmobile - Unlocked (Came with T mobile bloatware)
I had bought SM-G935T unlocked, I was using it with Lycamobile and I wasn't getting proper reception. I played around with ODIN and installed SM-G935U then SM-G935T again but this time, I updated to 8.0.
After flashing, I cannot make phone calls, cannot receive phone calls, cannot use LTE or mobile data network. Tried with other sim cards but nothing works. Wifi and Bluetooth works fine, everything else works fine in the phone.
Can someone help?

its probably the CSC. When youre flashing the tar.md5 file, i assume you didnt flash the CSC, correct?

I flashed everything a couple of times.
even Home CSC and CSC (nonhome)
Took it to Samsung customer care, they flashed it a couple of times too.
Still no Network (no calls - outgoing/incoming and no Mobile internet), However sim gets recognised - ATT, Tmobile, lyca, Ultramobile

there are 4 other versions on sammobile that are still android 8.0 and since its a 935t, you can also use the 935f firmware. youre nowhere near being out of options

So what should I do? I think when the phone came it was SM-G935(F).
Should I Install Latest Sm-G935F?
Or if its something else, can you share link?

if the hardware id a G935F, then flash the most current G935F firmware on it, factory reset in recovery afterwards, profit, go have a sammich because you fixed your phone make sure you do this in exactly this order, the last two are optional, but recommended

you can flash any G935 firmware to any G935 device and it will boot as long as the kernel is written for the type of processor you have in your device. If its a snapdragon, any snapdragon G935 tar.md5 will work and boot, likewise with the xynos based tar.md5's. Ive flashed a G935f on a G935V before and it worked fine
