no, nothing. still black screen / no power.
i think, my mistake was a wrong .pit - i was using the 512.pit, i'm a sgs2 noob ^^
afaik, you do not flash PIT for this phone, ever.
Try removing the battery, then turning on, download mode, recovery etc. If that doesn't work, you're screwed.
Try purchasing a jig. To be honest though, it sounds hard bricked. When you plug it into a power source and try to power it on if nothing at all happens that's usually a bad sign.
To offer you saving point, there are two or three places on the web that offer Jtag services which rewrite the default boot loader.
What were you doing when this happened?
Did the flash complete successfully?
These things are hard to brick although not impossible.
Edit: Oh, just saw the pit reference. Ouch, you are going to need Jtag, friend.

Dead as a dodo, jtag or RMA and hope they don't notice, say it was a failed kies flash or something.

No instructions to flash a 512 PIT file for the SGS1 phone its a totally different PIT.Same as putting the wrong fuel in the tank .

You won't be debrick it at home, only JTAG equipment can help you now. Either send it to a Samsung Service center, tell them you were updating through Kies and hope they don't notice or find a Repair Service with JTAG equipment and have them debrick it.
i wonder something why is a 512.pit file in the update pack (was rar compressed) as the FW is for SGS-2 but not SGS-1 ?!
tomorrow i send the phone to the service center, i can say it was a failure in kies - most pplz are writing this and dont have to pay something^^

You should ask the person who put it in the firmware pack... I haven't seen any downloads on XDA which contain the 512.pit file. Infact if you would've taken the time to read up on some threads here at XDA you would've known most experienced users advise and actively warn against using a pit file.

Bricked! You'll need to get it repaired by Samsung or some place with a JTAG box.
thanks for all answers here
i dont have downloaded the firmware from xda but from samfirmware.com and a wrong odin version with that **** pit file ...
... and readed the wrong tut about flashing a SGS-2 - think this was the most mistakes i've made ...
now its realy bricked and i'll see if i can send to a service center tomorrow.
i hope repair is for free ...

My phone is 100% bricked, I was flashing blitzkrieg bootloader to flash his ROM and something went wrong.
Now my phone wont turn on, wont nothing. . .
So the Question is: has anyone went out of this? I now the jig method, but I searched and didnt find anything.
eif you borked the bootloader there is a good chance there isnt much you can do besides a jtag reset, now a jig wouldnt hurt to try but i wouldln't count on it working. i personally will always stay away from bootloaders until i get my own jtag rig.
Goodluck bro hopefully the jig works.
if the vibrant is originally yours you could make a warranty claim with samsung stating you were attempting to flash 2.2 through keis and your phone wont work now, otherwise like said jig maybe, Jtag almost assuredly, will fix your phone.
If you are actually considering a JTAGing, search in the forum for connexion2005. He have lots of experience doing it and have a website and everything.
Its sad, but you remembered me why i shouldn't mess with the bootloader. Goodluck with your phone bro...
What happened during the bootloader flash? I just flashed the GB bootloader and the whole process was over in less than 10 seconds, not much room for error..

I couldn't agree more with everything in this post. Nice community situation here
- The Samsung Kies killed my phone excuse has gotta be the ultimate life saver, but over time I'm starting to agree with others that it's probably not something I should endorse. As I root more and more of my friends devices I'm starting to find that 1) I hate them. and 2) NOBODY will read an OP all the way through!

I wholly agree with you that this method is something that should be avoided if at all possible, however I know jtag services can be hard to find as well as sometimes quite costly.
@op let us know how it all turns out for you

Your battery probably died.
You dont have to flash a pit with it because it uses the phones native pit when flashing the bootloader.
Also, the OP for the gb Bootloader states that it CHANGES the key mapping. volume up and power gets you dl mode. Try that before jtag. I had this problem trying to flash the rom because i couldnt figure out recovery. Turns out I didn't read it right. I read it through, just didn't interpret it correctly.

Thank You so much. I was trying to flash back to stock using odin and forgot to put in the pda file. I was only using pit and it bricked. No download mode, left it off for hours, pure blackness. Until I tried your method of plugging in the usb and holding the volume buttons then plugging in the battery. Thank you.

Great news and nice tip from the OP. However, if that tip works, you were not fully hard bricked...
Ok, last update: I got it repaired!
JTAG was the only solution for this.
My phone was:
DEAD, NO SCREEN BOOT UP NO NOTHING
NO REACTIONS AT ALL
NO BATTERY CHARGING IMAGE
NO NOTHING!!! JUST A TOTAL BRICK.
Thank you all!!
Glad to hear you got it sorted out be careful flashing those boot loaders

The hardware problem is between your ears .
One this is DEVELOPMENT post in Q&A .
Two you have followed instructions from XX forum why not ask them for advice .
Three are you sure you have i9100 phone as that PIT is not for this phone .
Likewise did you flash i9100 firmware .
You have a bricked phone .
Can you get to download mode if so flash a stock GB rom from stock rom thread to get the phone working .
No download mode two choices find a JTAG repair it will be cheaper than a Samsung repair . Alternative take to Samsung service and hope they dont charge but repair under warranty .

Here was mistake, Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 8. Why did you touch PIT button???
Pit.
When you flash tar you must not set pit for flashing. Remove battery for hour or more than put it back ,try to go in download mode , if that doesnt work find some usb jig to help you put the phone in download mode.
I'm sorry because posted here...and I thank you for you answer.
You may have right about the way I put the PIT file
can you please tell me where I can get the JTAG repair?

Never ever flash a PIT (unless your phone is 99% borked and flashing a PIT is that 1% chance of getting it running again). Bit late for you, obviously.
If you can't get into download mode, you might as well try a jig (but very unlikely to get you into download mode), so it's either service center or possibly a JTAG repair by a non-Samsung repairer.

Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
how can you flash wrong pit, where did you get the pit file, the fact it said 32g shouldve rung alarm bells for you!!!
As far as im aware, there is only one s2 pit file used by samsung on gb and ics for the 9100, it does come with most roms in case you need it.
In fact what youve flashed is a Galaxy Tab .pit file, if you cant get back into DL mode with a jig then youve had it im afraid, im not even sure samsung would repair this as its not a 9100 file you flashed.

Search on ebay or something for USB jig. They cost 1-2 dollars. Any more and consider it expensive.
As said above, a jig will probably not work meaning your only option is to send it to samsung for repair or to get a JTAG.
In fact the correct pit file was : u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
But you select for P7500 which was a galaxy tab 10.1 pit
Hi guys,
I really need your help !!!
This is the story:
I tried to flash with odin (v3.07).
At first I checked these boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Nand Erase all
And flashed. Until it got stuck for quite some time in "SetupConnection..."
Then I disconnected the phone and reinserted it to download mode.
I tried to flash again but know with these checked boxes:
1. Auto Reboot
2. F. Reset Time
3. Re-Partition
It got stuck again in "NAND.. " (something - I don't remember exactly)
Again I disconnected the phone.
From that moment it wouldn't turn on no matter what I did And wouldn't charge. (BTW the battery was 85% when I started everything)
I tried many (!) methods I found online: Taking the battery out / put it in the freezer for 10 mins / reinsert it while pressing ON button / ON + HOME ...
Nothing helps..
What is the problem?
Tried to specify as much as I could...
I really need your help!!!
What should I do in order for it to work again??
Thanks

So you can`t get into Download Mode?
And wait a second you put your phone in the freezer for 10 minutes???
Edit: How many parts did your firmware have? 1 part or 3 parts?
If it was a 1 part firmware (Only PDA File) and you checked Re-partition then it`s possible that you bricked your phone.
If you can`t go into Download mode then the last thing you can try is to buy a USB Jig and try get into Download mode with it. If this doen`t help then Samsung service center is probably the way to go.
I can't get it to turn on which means no download mode.
I put the battery in the freezer as I read somewhere...
I don't think I have a descent samsung service in my country. I need to check...
My firmware had 2 parts:
A .pit file and a PDA(.zip file)
why did you check re partition mate...you could have at least taken time to search for a flashing guide...

What Firmware did you flash, a link or the exact name of the Firmware would be nice.
What happens if you run Odin and then Plug your device into USB? Does Odin recognize that your phone is connected or nothing happens? If nothing happens then try to buy the USB Jig and plug it in and see if you can get into Download Mode.

True that, I heard several times that guys have bricked their phone of Re-Partition because of missing or wrong Pit File.
Never use pit and repartition with 1file rom. Repartition must be made with 3 file firmware. And of course proper .pit.

So you flashed an i9100G .pit file to an i9100. That completely buggers it, you can do nothing at this point, except what I said. JTag, or Samsung service center.
JTag is a service where a qualified technician solders leads from a riff box to the motherboard of your phone, to reformat the phone. This will USUALLY end up being cheaper than going to a Samsung service center.
Though, if your device is still under warranty, you could just try sending it in for warranty service and playing dumb. (i.e. not telling them you were flashing stuff)

There is a good chance you screwed up your bootloader because you inserted a wrong Pit File (I9100G Pitfile although you have a normal I9100) and checked Re-Partition.
Like ctomgee said,If the Bootloader is screwed you need someone with a so called Jtag to flash a working bootloader on your device. You can bring it to a Samsung Service Center or find someone (Maybe even here on XDA) who will do this for you.

I'm afriad my galaxy s2 is either damaged or bricked.I tried to flash the leaked official jelly bean via Odin,am sure i selected the right files and when i clicked on START,i waited for over 40mins and nothing happened,so i closed odin,unplugged my phone,removed the battery and reinserted it,and the phone has refused to switch on.I think i have tried to flash to a non compactible baseband.
Please is there anything i could do to get my phone to work again?
Any advice is appreciated,Thanks.
Did you check md5 of the files you downloaded? What it's you phone model? Does it boot?

When i extracted the file i downloaded,there are about 5 files and according to the guidelines,you click on PDA and select a file named CODE,click on phone and select a file named PHONE,then CSC and PIT,these are four files that was used.Then the Md5 file wasn't used though it's among the files that was extracted but was not asked to use.My phone is galaxy GT-i9100.
Thanks for your help.
Can you enter recovery or download mode? I Once flashed S3 kernel on my S2 and it looked like it was bricked. No power not even charging but then I entered in download mode and flashed correct kernel via odin.

Thanks,that link is enough to get me started..but is it something i could just download and instal on my pc,connect my phone and repair or i would need a kinda of pad or something...saw a video on youtube where something was connected or soldered to the phone and then plugged to the pc without the battery.
Thanks.
If you spend money on a RIFF box, unless you know what you're doing/have done it before more than a few times, there's a fair chance you'll both pay for something you'll never use again & bork your phone beyond repair.
Pay someone else a quarter of the cost & have them do it/successfully fix your phone (assuming it can be JTAG'd & isn't a MB replacement job).

Alright,this requires more than watching a youtube video...i thought it was something i could do on my own.
