    Can I recover an S2 stuck in ODIN?

    Used these instructions ....

    Long guide (for beginners)
    - Download the attached ODIN file and extract the .zip file
    - Download the attached XWKDD, but do NOT extract the .tar file
    - Download and extract SuperOneClick
    - If you do not have Samsung's KIES 2.0 installed, download and install it. You need it to install the correct USB drivers, so the programs can communicate with the device. Reboot your computer after installation of KIES.

    - Make sure your device is in USB debugging mode: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
    - Reboot your device into download mode: Turn the device off, then power it on again by pressing and holding VolumeDown + Home + Power simultaneously. You will know when you are in download mode, it is really obvious
    - Start ODIN
    - Connect the device to your computer using USB
    - Wait a few seconds, the ODIN screen should show you that a device is now connected
    - Make sure that in ODIN NOTHING is checked, except the "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checkboxes. Press the "PDA" button, and select the "XWKDD_insecure.tar" file.
    - Press "Start". ODIN you should now be flashing the kernel, and the device should reboot.
    - Wait until the device is rebooted, and while still being connected over USB, start SuperOneClick, and press ROOT.
    - Reboot the device
    - Done !

    ODIN says "PASS" and all threads completed, but phone never reboots and screen goes all white. Maybe the TAR download is corrupted? I will try another download.

    ANY IDEAS WHAT TO TRY NEXT? IS IT A BRICK NOW ??

    If you are wanting to root, I've used CF-Root for a long time without any problems.

    I suggest you get a suitable firmware from SamMobile for whatever S2 you have, then get a corresponding CF-Root from XDA and flash both with odin. You can use Chainfire's TriangleAway to reset the counter afterwards.

    Also get the network lock removed if you have one.
    I could be wrong, I usually am. (Because it's only a phone)
