THIS GUIDE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE 16GB GALAXY S2 I9100 (but a similar procedure can be applied to some other samsung devices)
BIG THANKS TO USER HG42, ALL CREDITS GO TO HIM AS HE IS THE ONE THAT MADE THIS POSSIBLE. THE ORIGINAL GALAXY NOTE THREAD IS HERE
THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, IT DID FOR ME AND A FEW OTHERS BUT YOUR PROBLEM COULD BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE
AFTER FLASHING THE PIT FILE, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATLY FLASH A SAMSUNG ROM OR A KERNEL VIA ODIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LQ5 KERNEL INSTALLED, IN ANY CASE, DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA AFTER THE PIT FILE FLASH, FLASH A ROM OR A KERNEL BEFORE DOING ANY WIPE
As you must know by now, some users experienced hard bricks after flashing the leaked LQ5 firmware and doing a factory reset or a data wipe, some others, like me, can still access Odin or recovery but no matter what we try we can't get the phone to actually fully boot.
SYMPTOMS:
-You can go into download mode and maybe in recovery
-When you try to wipe data in recovery the phone gets stuck and reboots eventually
-Flashing a firmware through odin doesn't do any good even when the flash was a success
-During the Flash through odin it may get stuck at data.img or fastoryfs depending on the firmware you're trying to flash
If your symptoms aren't the same as those, i would advise not trying this procedure
THE REASON FOR THE "BRICK"
It seems that during the factory reset or data wipe you made after flashing LQ5, the data partition got badly corrupted somehow, and because of that, neither CWM nor Odin can write or format this faulty data partition. This is why you can't boot into any rom.
What you need to do if you're in the same situtation i was into (make sure of it) is to flash a modified pit file which is gonna create a new data partition on your internal sdcard, leaving the faulty one aside, and thus getting a brand new data partition which is gonna make your phone work again, but at the cost of having a smaller internal SD. Other than that, your phone should work exactly as it did.
WARNING / BACKUP
By doing so, you're also repartitionning the internal sdcard, which will result in the loss of everything you have on it, to backup the content of your internal sdcard, you must follow the steps described in THIS THREAD which is the thread started by the man that found the solution to this problem. The thread is a galaxy note thread, but the backup procedure is the same.
Once you have backed up what you wanted to backup, and made sure you read everything carefully, you can proceed to the flashing of the modified pit file.
AFTER FLASHING THE PIT FILE, YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATLY FLASH A SAMSUNG ROM OR A KERNEL VIA ODIN, ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE THE LQ5 KERNEL INSTALLED, IN ANY CASE, DON'T TRY TO WIPE DATA AFTER THE PIT FILE FLASH, FLASH A ROM OR A KERNEL BEFORE DOING ANY WIPE
The zip containing the modified PIT files can be found in THIS THREAD at the end of the first post.
STEP BY STEP
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a clean, unmodified, samsung firmware (like KI4) WITHOUT PUTTING ANY PIT FILE
-Reboot in stock recovery, do a factory reset
-Reboot phone
-Format internal sdcard
-You should be good to go
ALTERNATIVE WAY (NOT RECOMMENDED)
-Put your phone into Download Mode
-Flash the modified pit using odin, NOTHING ELSE
-After pit flash, the phone will try to reboot, and will get stuck. Remove the battery
-Go into Download Mode.
-Flash a custom kernel with Odin.
-Then Boot into recovery and install a rom from a zip which must be on your external SD
I hope this works for you as well as it did for me. Good luck, and congratulations to hg42 for finding a way to get our devices working again
edit: OP entirely changed his post since my response, rendering it incorrect.
Worked for me too
Tried everything was beginning to give up tried this and my phone works again thanks alot
Glad it worked for you mate.
Next time we'll think twice before flashing a leaked firmware.

Heeyyy!!!! Bro, i found an alternative for us. It worked for me so with you will work to!!!
Im from argentina and my english is not good. So, sorry for that.
Ok, do this:
1/ Download resurrection remix v2.5.3
2/ Flash siyha v3.3.2
3/ Enter to the recovery
4/ Go to "dual-boot options
5/ Select "install zip to second rom from external sd. Automatically siyah will create a second data partition.
6/ select the rom from the external sd and install it. Then restart and enter in recovery again
7/ go to "dual boot options / wipe second rom dalvik-cache.
8/ go to dual boot options / fix second rom permissions
9/ go to dual boot options / wipe second rom data cache
10/ reboot and you will see during boot the next reading: press home o volume button to enter to second rom.... so, press the home buttom and the phone will revive!!!!!!
I must say that every time the phone starts you have to choose to enter the second rom. This solution sucks, but at least your phone will work.
good luck

Have you tried flashing a samsung rom? Are you still on LQ5 kernel?
If this still fails after trying to flash a samsung rom using odin, i think you should indeed flash the original PIT, which will make things back the way they were before, even if it didn't work then
when i use Odin to install original rom , it stuck on data.img
and when I use recovery to wipe factory or cache , it stuck on formatting data
(( I used pit stock and i9100_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4-patched-standard ))

After flashing just the Pit file, did you try to wipe data or did you try to flash a Samsung ROM with odin directly?

Were you using the LQ5 kernel when you tried to wipe data after the PIT flash ? I hope you weren't.

arf man, you should have stick to the step by steps and just that. There is still little hope though, send a PM to hg42 explaining that you flashed his modified galaxy s2 pit file but that you did the same mistake again (that i did too, but only once) , which was to wipe data using LQ5 kernel. Basically i think you now have two ****ty data partitions, back to square one.
He might be able to build a new Pit specially for you to flash in which yet another data partition will be created, next to the one you just screwed.
I modified my post to make it even clearer that you shouldn't wipe data while using LQ5 kernel.
Good luck man
is this guide only for people who can access to download mode?
my phone not response to any thing
what the solution for me?
Unfortunately some people were lucky enough to only soft brick their phones when other hard bricked them.
No solution for the hard bricked ones for now.

You are my S2 saver! Thank you! Thank you!
Since Thursday, when i lost my S2 because of LQ5, i have been trying to find any possible solution through ODIN, but the same result: S2 stacked on logo screen.
Today i decided to send my S2 to Samsung, but the last minute i saw your thread.
I had nothing to loose so i decide to give it another try and I GOT MY PHONE BACK!
After formatting internal card i got back 9,54 Gb. I remember that i had 11Gb free before LQ5 but right now its not major problem.
Once more
Thank you!!!!!

thanks, its just strange that the 2-3 roms i have tried have all returned that error message, I will download the rom you linked and get back to you.....
is that rom to go on with odin, as currently i have stock recovery......?
no joy with the linked rom......
same thing happened, i can successfully get it rooted and flash recoveries no problem......
is it possible its a sd card problem.....
also, when i go to restore the back up i make before flashing the rom, it reverts back to a brand new handset, so i need to set it all up again, put in my Google account details etc.......all my apps return obviously, but this isn't meant to happen is it......
it really is confusing me, all the other devices I have had in the past and currently have flashed ok........
when i wipe before the flash, its just the default factory reset, cache, dalvik I do , is this correct?
That should be fine, it is possible the sd card is corrupt or not communicating properly with the recovery. You could always put the rom on the internal sd card.... Just don't factory wipe or you could loose the rom you are trying to flash...
That didn't work either......so frustrated with this.......
Can someone go through the exact procedure....I know there are guides but personal experience s are best.....

thanks....
I have been using twrp mostly....i don't believe the default wipe setting includes the system partition format...........could the absence of this formatting cause problems every time?
finally managed to flash a custom rom.......
the trick was to install the zip without any sort of wipe, then do the wipes after successful installation......
weird eh....
So, I got jealous of my brother... I too wanted a custom rom for my GT-i9500... I downloaded "pac_jfltexx-Black-Power-Edition_20140106"....
Downloaded Gapps.. After I did all the steps, which were:
1. Wipe cache
2. Wipe Data/factory reset
3. Wipe dalvik cache
4. Format /system
Then I selected, install zip from external SD card... I saw that, it said during installition, "Installing for i9505", and I was like whaa!?!? Afterwards, I did a search on the internet that what happens when we format system, it said that you ought to install a ROM because the system is without an OS..
After realizing my mistake, I STILL went ahead and installed it like a retard xD..
And now again I did all the above steps, somehow I have the CWM 6.0.3.3 still installed and opened right here... I am not able to do anything on my phone... Please tell me how to overcome this situation...
I searched on the internet, I found out that I can still install any ROM. I'm downloading KingCobra ROM build 5...
Now what do I do?
P.S.- I have a nandroid backup, but its not on my phone's sd card or the ext sd card, its on my computer, can I do anything with that backup and use odin to flash the backup?

Will this work?
Alright, so I put the KingCobra on the extSDcard via card reader, and I flashed it after wiping cache, data/facotory reset, system /format, and wipe dalvik cache....
I flashed it. But I didn't flash the Gaaps since it wasn't written there...
My phone proceeded the display "Samsung GT-i9500", then the music played of Samsung, and right now it's just there, the LED giving off blue light, getting dim and bright, I am just there for the last 5 minutes..
P.S.- The zip of KingCobra was of 1.4 GB...I downloaded the build 5 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2497087
It's still stuck, what to do? Or just sit back since it's a big ROM?
Finlyno Had
Okay, I read on the KingCobra forum place on XDA. It said, that I'll have to flash a pit file. And many other instructions which I didn't understand. The startup sucked my whole phone's battery, and the only change was that the LED started to blink in Green color as well as Blue... Right now, my phone is just lying, I'm charging the battery, and it's playing the Red LED.
Please help, I don't know what to do.

I did a factory rest, flashed the restore, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache, now stuck at samsung logo again :crying: :crying: :crying:
Pretty sure you were told in the first reply you got to go get a stock rom from Samfirmware & flash it with Odin to get a 'clean slate' & to then either re-root your phone and try flashing the custom rom again (and maybe read the flashing instructions for the rom in question this time) or restore a backup.
Oh...Look...That's exactly what you were told (and you haven't done it)
You clearly have no idea what you're doing (how to recover in particular, and obviously how to flash the rom in question as well), I strongly suggest you do what was suggested (flash a stock rom) if you want your phone working again anytime soon.
If you have philz recovery, then you can attach a memory stick with an usb otg cable, and make a restore from there, or install a new rom

Did you flash Omega from external SD??
TWRP recovery is the newest??? (2.7.1.0)
Yes I did, I have the latest twrp recovery installed no joy , flash few times same problem, using different rom, probably try different recovery later, is the stock rom With root?
Using twrp 2.7.2.0, 64gb sandisk card
Make sure you check wipe /system data when doing a complete wipe or it's not classed a a fresh install.

For Omega v18 you need to do a factory reset in twrp, than wipe cache, dalvik cache before you flash the ROM. Do that and than report back.

Flash TWRP Recovery and then boot into it. After that, you can WIPE your internal storage to free space. Then you don't have to worry regarding memory.
1- Flash twrp on your phone using adb.
2 -Boot into recovery but don't remove the usb connection.
3 -Clear all data, cache, internal, etc. (Do this only if you have backed up important data.)
4 -Have a stock rom (or the rom you are trying to install) downloaded on the pc.
5 -After you have cleared the data, move the rom from the pc to your phone.
6 -After the rom has been moved, remove the connection and flash it.
7 -Do this after you confirm everything works. (twrp, the rom, etc.)
Also, I urge everyone who wants to flash their phone to have stock android rom backed up on your pc, always.
In case anything goes wrong you can always flash stock rom and start over again.

-1- Download stock ROM on your PC.
-2- Boot into twrp, preferably through adb command. ('adb reboot recovery')
-3- Do not remove the usb cord, and once the device is booted into recovery type 'adb kill-server'. You don't need adb now but don't unplug your device from PC.
-4- Once into recovery, clear everything. (Data, cache, internal, etc.)
Note - This will clear everything, even the OS. If you don't have external sd card wiping external will result in error. Don't worry.
-5- Having your android connected to the phone, copy & paste the stock ROM folder into your internal storage on PC.
-6- After it has been moved, you can unplug your phone and flash the stock ROM via recovery.
You can delete the stock ROM zip file in your phone to free up space using any file manager, if you have said ROM backed up on your PC.
You will lose all your data so have a backup of important data. Also your phone will be made as new, so you will have to flash recovery again, root again, etc.
You can find stock ROM on 'techolite.com'. Just search 'a6000 stock rom updated frequently' and you will find it.
Download the one pertaining to your model.
