So here's my sad story:

I just bought my samsung S2 form somebody it obviously had a costum firmware. Me and a friend wanted to delete old Owners contacts and we didnt know how. so we thought to reset Phone to factory settings. Before that all worked very good. well after we pressed the OK all went bad. It tred reboot after the reset and it got stuck

it kind of Flashes the display, also when i try charge i see batter few seconds then its gone and u see the flashing like 2 lines or something just shoing up for a fraction of secon and disapearing. if i press the Menu Button (middle down on front side) more times the schreen goes white and Flashes.

Now i figered it has something to do with the soft.
when i try get in to restore mode i cant ... but i can acces the odin mode- my pc wont recognize my phone thou ... i installed reinstalled drivers still nothing - i see a "unknown device"

How can i fix Phone pls help! i used this Awsome phone just like 10 min :((
 
Welcome Victor! :)
I am sorry you are having issues there with your newer device!
Although I dont know much about that phone, I can try to direct you to a different place where the folks will know more than I do :)
What phone do you have that is listed here:?

Samsung Galaxy S2 (AT&T)
Samsung Galaxy S2 (Boost Mobile)
Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-Mobile)

Samsung Galaxy S2 (International)
Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket
Samsung Galaxy S2 HD
Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus
Samsung Galaxy S2
 
Well, is there a battery cover you can remove and there may be some model #'s under there seeing as tho you cannot access the OS atm. :)

Edit: just saw your post..stand by please :)
 
yes had it more the 1 min had it like 10 minutes away nothing, keeps that flashing thing... but when i hard boot i can get to a pannel saying: (look at image in link) - when i press Vol down nothing happens it gets back to the screen blinking, if i push vol Up i get to Odin mode

Rezultatele c
 
here means (Samsung Galaxy S2 (International)) here ? well ty hope someone will help
yeah, I went with my gut feeling about you saying no carrier, and your model #.
I'm starting to wonder if that phone you bought is rooted, and like you said perhaps a custom recovery was installed.
If so, a move to the root forum may be in order, but I am not quite sure yet.:)
Like I said, I don't know alot about your phone but now we are at least in the right phone forums so others can see your issue.
No worries mate, we'll get ya goin :)
 
Ask the person you purchased it from what they did to it on the first place. They should be able to tell you if it is sim locked or not, if it has been rooted and what rom it is running.
