hi evryone, im new here and i need help badly.Been trying to research for 2 hours now and found nothing that could help me resolved the problem.

2 hours ago i did something stupid while playing with my phone. i downloaded a movie in zip format and stupidly opened the file with ROM. My phone restarted and with the usual logo but after that all i could see is a black screen. I have Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 currently using ICS paranoid android. Thank you so much. Any idea would be much appreciated.

can you get in download mode? if no, buy a USB jig. using ODIN to flash a rom after you are in download mode.

yes i could get to it. but Before i could get there there's a warning that says "A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key, Otherwise, press down to cancel."

I then press volume up button to go to odin mode.

Thanks for the reply, i would be very much willing to provide all the information i know and everything that could make this easy.

Do you know your original firmware before you flashed Paranoid Android?

Btw, try the JB Version of Paranoid. ;)

Sorry, I dont remember the original firmware. Is there any way to check it?

yes, i had JB but since i got a problem with its camera app i switched back to ICS.Thanks for reading the post. Though, my main concern now, is for my phone to start working again. :(

I am at ODIN MODE
i see this
PRODUCT NAME: GT-i9100
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL


DOWNLOADING...
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Do i just wait for it? I honestly dont know how to flash rom with ODIN. I am at lost :(
 
I think I have an idea now. I can download the file to flash with odin but the problem is for my laptop to recognize my phone. I remember that the paranoid android that i have has a bug of "USB NOT RECOGNIZED". Is there an alternative way of putting the file to my phone and flashing it with odin?
 
So i got "USB NOT RECOGNIZED" fixed now.

Does anybody have an idea on where i could get the step by step guide of flashing ROM with ODIN? Thank you.

I hope they stay as long as i could get this fix :P

I tried to install the odin but after i clicked it a dialog box with a "korean" text appeared so i just hit ok button.. Nothing happened after that.
