first of all make sure you have or done the following:
(1) installed samsung drivers (just install kies cd and plug your phone cable)
(2) using odin version 1.84
(3) kies program is turned off (if any)
(4) make sure you are logged on as "administrator"

Load the kies so your device will be detected... you dont need to install Galaxy Y drivers because you have the Kies after Kies load you can close it..and open the Odin and prepare the Files to the Destination Box
the odin will detect your device anyway if you are willing to come at the shop ill fix your SGY
Make sure you have installed KIES
then connect your phone via USB cable to pc (MAKE sure it showed your device is installed and ready to use)
Next thing to do is.
exit KIES
meaning press CTR+DEL then go to process tab look for KIES and hit end task
exit all Active application in system tray and also Anti virus.
I'm always stuck at the boot.img or connection or NAND write. My phone doesnt show the bar showing the process completion. Stuck in custom ROMs. x(

last Q. my com have a recycle .exe if ur familiar, can this be harm my SGY,
cause it broke my SDcard,
My experience on flashing
Since now its my second time flashing an SGY , first i unbricked my classmates SGY on Android 2.3.5 (B'coz she tried flashing another custom ROM with her custom ROM(Very common sense but she still do it so she end up bricking her phone, then she ask help for me ) )
Before i flashed i charged my SGY to 100 % (Fully charged)
Then i wiped my micro USB connector with a soft cloth
Then i turned off my phone
Then i pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del(Windows task manager) then i clicked "Processes"
then i ended up the Kies and ADB Session(i don't have it with my family PC)
Then i logged off my user then i logged on my dad's user account (Since he's only the one that has the administrator priveleges)
Then i downloaded Odin v 1.85 from SGY FAQ's here
Then i downloaded Doky's DXKK4 Wipe Pack for me (Since its the factory firmware of my phone)
Then i opened up Odin
And i pressed Power+Volume up+Home(i waited for 2 seconds before i release home button)
And i pressed Volume up on my phone (ODIN MODE)
Then i started selecting the valid DXKK4 files like PDA,PHONE/MODEM File,CSC
Then after that all i pressed "Start"
Then it stucked a bit on system.img file but after that all a green "PASS"surprised me then i started to jump jump jump (becase i successed flashing my phone)
Then the last message in the message box is "Successful 1/0 Failed"
Then my phone restarts,Then after i setup the phone i setup my CSC , for me i select XTC because ,my phone is an open line then it factory resetted again , then i set it up again , Now my phone is in the DXKK4 firmware again YAY ! Refer to Doky's thread on the Development section for full instructions before flashing
Try vaccuming your USB Ports or try an earlier version of Odin for our SGY
if you're running windows 7. You can type the combo button ctrl alt del and you will see "start task manager" and click on the processes and find all programs kies named like "Kieshelper" i think there's three different kies running in the processes. End process it and find your antivirus in the processes. Example is "egui" for eset, "avg" for avg, and many more. If you cant find your antivirus, just disable it, or if it can't be disabled, just uninstall it, and reboot. After reflashing, just install it again. Please note that KIES and ANTI VIRUS must be completely closed. Make sure that you have kies installed in your computer, if an antivirus is open, there might be chance that you'll receive a fail in odin.

before flashing its either format your SD Card using your phone..
How to ? Go to Settings>SD and Phone storage>Unmount SD Card(Wait for the status on notification bar if SD is safe to remove)>Then the "Format SD Card" option will be available, Tap on that >Format SD card>Erase All
Then Your SD will be formatted, so Backup first
Before flashing perform a factory reset
How to? Go To Settings>Privacy>Factory data reset>Then it will prompt you if you want to format the SD card , Just put a check on that but don't forget to backup first>Then follow the next procedure for factory resetting then after that, Power off your phone then Press Power+Home+Volume down then a warning will appear , Press volume up to proceed to ODIN MODE then connect your phone then select the appropiate files for your phone then click "Start" then see your message box on the left bottom to see what's happening on flashing your phone

i am trying to root my tmobile galaxy S2 and i am in downloading mode...put recovery.tar file in PDA section and when i hit start...nothing happens and after a while i get failed notice and says " Can't open the serial(COM) port." what am i doing wrong.
Did you install the usb drivers first? If not here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6onrjbyd46j4lhj
that could be the only reason i can think of that odin isn't detecting phone. Also try a different usb port on the computer, and if that doesn't work try a different cable.
uninstall Kies if u have ut because the drivers stick i did and now it works lol

Go into Kies, Tools -> Preferences, unselect "Run Samsung Kies automatically when a device is connected", save the change, close out of Kies, and then restart ODIN 3. Try flashing now.
reinstall drivers with KIES. go to troubleshoot and then you should be good to go after. also check the cable too..

I had the same problem and I fixed it by exiting from Kies software. You might get this new error "Complete(Write) operation failed". Then all you should do is just pulling your battery out and restarting odin and phone. I disables the firewall too, but I don't think the problem was firewall. Anyway mine is working well and I did it.
Hi, I'm also having the same problem. The 'Charging paused...' message kept popping up so I tried to flash a different official rom via odin (I was on official ICS). Unfortunately the flash failed and now when I try to turn on the phone the 'Firmware upgrade encountered an isuue......' message comes up. I tried connenting to kies also but can not to do so. I have hope as i can get into download mode but can't flash a rom. I got halfway once then suddenly it failed again. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Thank You.

The phone needs to be in download mode for Odin. And kies shouldn't be running on your PC. Go to task manager and kill any kies processes.
Download mode on the phone as I remember is power button and volume down.
?
If anyone is using Odin to flash 4.1.2, I found either Odin 3.04 or to be the only ones that worked for me.

Try different Odin versions perhaps. Uninstall Samsung drivers and install the newest kies again to reinstall them. Don't need to uninstall kies , just be sure all its processes are killed in your PC task manager.
There's nothing you can do until your phone and Odin are communicating. Try another cable, try another USB port on your computer. Last, try another computer.

Try everything I suggested. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas unfortunately.
I'm curious, what does your phone show as in device manager in pc when connected? Or is it not being seen at all?
And Y Duos? You know this is the Tmobile S2 section, right? ?
Lots of Y Duos bricked talk here as well as other links in this thread to review.

1.Try to redownload the firmware that you've flashes and flash it again if it will help.
Troubleshooting Instructions:
"USB Driver Not Recognized" Problem ?
Well here's my list of troubleshooting instructions:
1.If your USB Driver is not recognized , Open Kies on your PC/Laptop then click "Troublelshoot connection problem" button , It will reinstall the USB Driver named "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" . Wait until it finish .
2.Uninstall Kies and the USB Driver named "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" on Add and remove programs on Control panel , Then after you install Kies again then do the directions on Step 1 installing your USB Driver.
3.Try Redownloading Odin v 1.85 , Click on my attachment to download.
4.Make sure your Kies is up to date.
5.Make sure that your battery is 100 % fully charged
6.Remove your SIM Card before flashing , That could interrupt the flashing process.
7.Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and go to Processes and terminate the process named "KiesHelper.exe" and "KiesTrayAgent.exe" and if you're using ADB then terminate the process named "adb.exe" ( Im not sure if adb.exe is the correct name of ADB process,Correct me if im wrong)
8.Make sure before you press the "Start" button on Odin you should Notice these two thing before pressing the Start button : ID:COM and make sure you have got the "Added!!!" word on the box (Where you can see if flashing has successful ex. Success 1/0 Failed

Check out device manager whilst connected via USB in download mode, if there's any devices with yellow symbols it probably means you need the adb drivers found here
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Then Odin should pick up your tab and your in business, Odin is your way out of this I believe.

Okay show me a screenshot of device manager whilst tablet is connected in download mode, also expand any sub catogeries that contain either your adb device in it or anything with samsung in it if you can...you shouldn't need to play with com ports really, if the adb USB drivers are installed and the adb device shows up in device manager Odin's meant to detect it automatically, also right click on the adb device in device manager and click properties, and go to the section where it shows driver version and screen shot that just so I can verify a couple of things...sounds to me like its not using googles adb driver but can't be sure.

What I did is, I uninstall the driver from device manager, reboot my laptop let windows re-detect it again and walla..it found the new hardware and driver being installed again. Run odin, my device added and I flash back the original rom with the download mode and everything back to normal. Thank you so much for your help spending your time to help me troubleshoot together.
Appreciate all your help.

I would like to flash it too lolipop but is it good enough? Will it cause me hang again like before? Any advice
I cannot give you any advice for lollipop as I've never tried it, I only have t805 which its not available for yet, but if I did own a t705 I would definitely take a look at this:
