[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II ROOTED & BRICKED - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.. I just bought my new SGSII a week ago and I wanted to root it. I follow a guide on google and it went perfectly. Then I wanted to try a custom rom and found lite' and dark ROM... And I picked the dark ROM, so I found a guide on your site, for the 10.2 final edition and I did everything it said. I was starting to install, and I was waiting 15 mins and nothing happend. So as stupid as I am, I take the USB stick out and take the battery out too..
After that it wont turn ON. It wont do NOHTING, no download mode, no repair mode.. Its been a couple of hours now and I cant find any answer on google so I wanted to post my problem here so you could have a new case to crack ..
The wierd thing is my phone is warm, and even more warm then when I played on it.. But it wont function at all..
Please, I am very happy to recieve ANY answer

Please provide a link to the exact rom that you attempted to install.

Look for the posts on the 301k Jig. I don't have the exact link but they're around somewhere on the SGS2 forum.
Its basically a microUSB with a 301k ohm resistor soldered onto it. If you have access to a soldering iron you can buid one in 10 minutes with the online schematics and basic knowledge of electronics.
It has been reported to throw your (bricked) device into download mode when no other method works, as well as reset the counters (tried and tested by me).
Once you get download mode, flash stock firmware w/ Odin and that could fix everything.

Yeah, that'll do it. Personally, I would only use XDA as a resource for rooting and not Google..in the Original Android Development sub-forum there is a great guide on flashing via Odin and applying stock firmware (in which, it actually states in BOLD not to tick the pit files.)
Good luck!

Never ever use pit file unless you know what a pit file is and know exactly what you are doing.....most bricked phones caused by flashing pit

Hopefully you can get in to download mode using the jig. If not, I wonder if anyone is able to assist in manually pushing the required files via ADB.

It is rom for Galaxy S 1 you bricked it and you deserve it for not reading !

Lol!! (Sorry) but this was my thoughts as soon as you said darky 10.2.... that is definitely not designed for the SGS2. If you can get the above USB jig fix to work then great. Otherwise I hope you have insurance :S

Yikes..
If the jig doesn't work and you have to send the phone in it might be a good idea to not mention what exactly you did to make it behave thusly
*edit*
Also, if all else fails you might want to check the debricking service detailed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN7le4GmxZs

It will be a little cheaper if I just sended it to the repair shop in my town, I live in denmark if I send it to US to be fixed dahm ...

Well .. I think for sending it to the US you're looking at approximately ~85$ (shipping fees + repair)
Hard to tell what Samsung would charge if they found out you voided the warranty

Samsung Jig

Hey guys and gals,
Just wanted to update everyone, the micro-usb jig that worked so well on the captivate also happens to work on the Note. Just tried mine out of curiosity and it worked. Plug it in, wait 3-4 seconds, vibrate, download mode...
I had not seen this posted anywhere in here, so just in case someone hard bricks this epic device, we do have a backdoor...
I wonder then, can the jig be used to reset the flash counter to zero?
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.
yes it works to get you into download mode which is fantastic however it will not aid in resetting the flash counter like it did on the SGS2
and BTW this isnt considered a development, this actually should have been opened in the General Section....

They are physical micro-usb sticks that are meant to help you recover from a bricking.
can you tell us where to get one ?

This section is for development only! Please post information in the general section​
You can buy them off of ebay, or at least you used to be able to, or you can build one. I built mine from an extra data cable I had laying around at the time. It forces the phone into download mode, which is very convenient for those of us that flash roms at will.
This one is a fancy version of the home-built kind, mine is pretty rough, but it does the job and that's all that really matters...

I bought one when my wife bricked her Captivate last year, and tested it on my note the day I got it. I figured it worked for all Samsung phones so I didn't think it was worth mentioning. Thanks anyway. BTW, if someone is looking to buy a jig, this is the one I got from Amazon, it's 3 bucks cheaper and works just as good, not to mention free Prime shipping if you have a membership.

i have a jig i used to reset my sgs2 counter that works on the note but does not reset the counter on the note.

[Q] Which is the correct USB port ?

Hi,
So i just damaged my Galaxy s2 i777 usb port the one in the bottom of the phone.Now the power fluctuates and the phone dont charge.
The one located in the bottom of the phone.
These are the product links - Please let me know which one is the corrscrt-

Please let me know which one is correct and which one will work

Also will a samsung galaxy s2 - t989 work in India ??
My sim cards work with i777 just wanna confirm if it'll work with T989

Yes it says i9100 but it works for the i777. I just bought from that link and replaced it my I777 with basically the same problem you have. Problem was solved (see "usb won't connect" thread in Q&A).
There's a YouTube video showing how to replace it on the i9100, which I followed and is extremely similar to the i777.

I must add, that you should really evaluate yourself, and decide if you have the skills to do it. It can damage your phone permanently if you don't do it the right way.

at the risk of necromancing.... if anyone should stumble upon this looking for help like I did, through google. When you open your i777 up, the port board in your i777 says i9100, so yes the above listed item would work.

Did not try that one. There is one on amazon that some one said in the comments worked with the i777 but I could not get it to work. Also, on ebay, one from ipartsdepot1 did not work. I also contacted several other sellers that said their's would not work. Hope this helps. -- Bud

Does this require soldering to install? Are there any instructions available? Thank you.
Edit: I found a video here which I think should help.
Won't charge?
Like rushaan stated that you should think before you go any further, if your battery will not charge it could be more of an issue than a charger. For the last week I have been trying to boot mine and only get one of 2 messages, The Samsung boot image, and I have done all most everything I have read in our forums. The last run, I had been re-installing some apps, after a ROM change,all was going great ,then a message came up Stating that "due to the battery heating up,it was shutting down the charger" so, of course battery was drained and con not get the freakin' phone to do anything but show the "SAMSUNG" boot animation.. NOW, since then I can not get it to boot, esp. into CWM recovery. I am still reading to see what file/image that I maybe able to use while utilizing ODIN. So,with that being said look a bit more in-depth before you think you have the correct solution.

Possible to root without PC?

Hi is possible to root the galaxy s2 i9100 without a PC.
My friend's usb charging port is stuffed, so yeah...
Thanks!
Flash a kernel with stock recovery (if you have 4.0.4 don't make a wipe or format!!!)
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel
I wouldn't be messing with my phone at all unless I had the option to Odin flash. There are situations where that's your only option (other than paying a service centre to fix it). Forking out a few bucks for a new USB controller is the smart thing to do.

Edit: is there a video tutorial on how to replace the usb controller?
I don't have links because I've never done it, but there are threads on here (recently; detailed ones) specifying which part you need for which I9100 variant, Google/YouTube should yield you instructions on how (I'm told it's very easy to do).
Edit - To narrow it down a bit, search KeithRoss39's posts, he's posted about this issue/parts you need/etc more than a few times recently & knows his stuff.

Listen to Mistahbungles advice.If a flash goes wrong,you can end up with no boot,and no recovery,and in your case,no way of the pc recognizing your phone.
Ive had a modem flash doing that to me,but was easy to fix since my phone connected to my laptop.

Need help with Galaxy GT-S7262 phone

I googled solutions to fix "Your device is not compatible with this version" when downloading new apps, and followed the directions on this video. My phone started having the issue described (reboot loop), so I attempted to follow the accompanying video, but could not get it to work. I figured if I did a factory reset, it would put my phone back to how it was, erasing the changes I tried to make. However, it did not fix the issue.
I just bought this phone 3 weeks ago and now I can't use it. I'm on a fixed income (Peace Corps volunteer on a living stipend) and spent nearly my whole month's allowance to get this phone. Right now I can't afford to take it to a Samsung store to fix it, and I'd prefer not taking it there anyway as I'm in a city that I don't live in right now which is clear across the country from my home, so if I take it there, I may have to leave before they are able to fix it.
Is there someone here who would be willing to skype-walk me through trying to fix the phone on my own? Apparently I'm not capable of doing it myself, and I really want my phone fixed.
Thanks!

It was also able to reboot the tamper counter before, will it do so with the s7 ?
It'a good that I haven't lost my old USB jig from S2 days

I just want to confirm the the USB jig from back to the s2 will work with our s7 so when we get unlocked may help those who brick
Will post video if wanted to show.

I wasn't around the mod scene back when the S2 was a thing. Could you share with me how you made a very clean jig? The ones I've found can be a bit messy

i think the one he has is a pre-made one, he bought it like that, I just made one using 3x100kOhms and 1x1kOhm. Didn't worked tho, maybe the usb cord I found collecting dust in the drawer is broken, will try with another cord.

This was a pre-made one but if I Remer correct it's a 100k resistor contacted to pin 3 and 5.

Hi, can you upload the video please and if possible, show a link to buy or make the jig.
Thanks in advance

@kitila,
I found this topic Googling for this same info, so thanks for reporting that the USB Jig still works with S7!

Still got one I made for the S4, it is 300k Ohm (Or the one I made, 3 x 100k Ohm) across pins 4 & 5 (ID & GROUND)
Or easier, buy one for a couple £ on ebay
Thank you for the correction on that I knew it was 100 something
Can anyone confirm that this really works? My S7 seems to be hard bricked

Can you point to where on ebay to get one? I can't seem to find the right search terms.
Thanks.

good to know, I've got a 1,000 pack of 10k resistors in my desk lol
It's not what you buy its what you build
