Woke up and mo S2 isent working!

[maraxion]

Hello.
So last night I put my S2 to charge and this morning it was on the black and white smsung logo(first one).
Iv tried resets with no avail.
Tried recovery mode with v-up, home and power with no go. It only gooes to the above logo twice.

I can go into download mode, and got myself a version of odin and files. Added the files at AP, connected the phone and pressed start. The nand write started and after a few minutes I got error(red). So any ideas or is it time for a new phone?

Edit: btw its got stock rom and only thing iv done in the sast is changing pit files to get more space.

is changing pit files

That's a pretty big only. Can you give me your full model #, Carrier, and a link to the firmware you used?

 

[maraxion]

Wel I used the pit file almost a year ago and its worked good since. Thats why i stated only

Wel its An GT-I9100(gsmh)
Carrier is telenor Norway

As for software im sorry but I dont have the links here. I used files I had avalible on my computer from before. But as I stated this dident hapend when I altered anything and I havent done anything since. Also the rom on the hone should be stock.
As for the pit file its named: i9100_Pit_Files_3GB_-_8GB_Collection_by_metalgearhathaway. Not sure but I think I used the 6b file.

Your probably getting the failure because you are using the wrong firmware. I'll look it up.

Messing with the partitions never ends up well, in my experience. I'm not sure, you might have needed to revert first.

Thaks, thats awsome
Im open for other builds aswel, but primary I just need my phone working again

Also not sure if it helps but when I put it in download mode and opened kies it just said connecting forever, And I had to pull the battery to get it out of download mode afterwards.

Also Im using odin 3.10.7. The com never gets yellow, only blue. Unsure if thats an version issue.

 

[Bg260]

It's one of these. The PDA represents the build #. If you can take a look. You'll need to create a free account to download. I think you should reflash with odin.

Edit: just saw your post. Try an older version of Odin. Maybe first. The S2 is older and that is a current odin version.

Here's some from my *pinned* XDA debrick guide.

So I can download all and just retry until i get it working?

I wouldn't do that. Is your bootloader unlocked? Doesn't sound like you have TWRP. If your boot loader is locked you will only be able to use the most recent official release.


Here's your stock pit, just in case. Don't use it until you've tried everything else. Also a bad USB cable has caused many a failure.

 

[maraxion]

No I havent altered the phone or boot loader as far as I can remember.
Il try the Odin Files you sent, great! Il try the 1.85.

So no chance now to ientify the rom version iv got on there? The file I have on my computer from 2013 is an NEE file btw: I9100XWMS1_I9100XXMS4_I9100NEELS1_HOME.tar.md5
But il try the 2 4.1.2 you sent atleast and see.

 

[maraxion]

Hm. How long does this take btw?
I got the Odin 1.85 and the com turned yellow. So I started it. Its been working now 30min on the first BOOT.
But on the newer odin I got erros, so I guess its hope?

 

[Bg260]

Should be blue. Do you have another USB cable to try? It sounds like you are not connecting.

 

[maraxion]

Hm.
Seems it on the old version it should be yellow, the new blue. Both are ok here so I think the cable is ok.
But on the newer version 3 I get errors on the files and on the old 1.8 the process just continues for hours at end. So i just cannot seem to get it to flash.

Also when the flash crashes I need to remove the battery to try again. Seems it locks somehow.

What the heck is .pit?

 

[Bg260]

What the heck is .pit?

Partition Information Table, it's a Samsung thing.

Hm

Can you post your Odin log. It might help us figure it out. I'm still thinking your re-partitioning is a top suspect here.

 

[maraxion]

I would, but I cannot see where the logs might be saved. But if you tell me il get right back to you.
But still think its strange that the pit file can be making problems so long after install and suddenly over night charging,

 

[Bg260]

I'm not saying that the pit caused the problem. It may be what's keeping you from reverting to stock.

 

[Bg260]

Also not sure if it helps but when I put it in download mode and opened kies it just said connecting forever

Crap, I missed that earlier. Kies and Odin can interfere with each other. Either kill Kies in the task manager and make sure it isn't set to auto start. Or just uninstall it.

 

[maraxion]

Good call. Killed that and il try again. Its a bit hard doh with a lot of kernals and 3 different odins, im going nuts
But how can I find the log files to send you?

 

[Bg260]

The log box in Odin will show a print out, Copy and paste.

 

[maraxion]

Err, log box? You mean the message box?
All made with same file.

The Galaxy SII is over five years old now. I don't want to discourage you from continuing to restore your phone but at some point you might have to just accept the fact there could be a hardware failure, a likely target being the NAND flash storage chip itself.

 

[maraxion]

I Agree svim. The phone got to be 4 years and 364 days before it went. But there is one thing Id like to know before I toss it.
It seems I only have a few of my contacts on the sim card.
1. So even if I managa to fix my SII with Odin, wil all my contact be gone?
2. Also If I buy a new samsung or orhter android, can I backup my contacts from Kies that I took a year ago?

Its been a good phone to me, but nothing lasts forever!

 

[Bg260]

Your contacts should be automatically restored through Google. I've never used Kies so I couldn't answer that. Everything looked OK on the log, so maybe svim makes a good point.
Sorry.

 

[maraxion]

Bg260 that was extremely good news!!! So all android phone wil be able to get all my contacts?

 

[Bg260]

As long as you are signed into Google, which is pretty much mandatory. The contacts are attached to your Gmail account.
