Galaxy s2 Bricked - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello experts
i had followed steps to root my galaxy s2 using odin flashing and it was success, and unlocked.
The phone started well with a yellow Exclamation.
and the phone was unlocked.
after a few minutes the phone was very slow and got stuck. i restarted it.
again stuck, restarted but it dint start again. i thought battry was low and put to charge.
but it dint charge as well.
So i showed the phone to a repairing center and they said its dead.
Any help that i can start my phone again ??
Thanks in advance guys :'(

Try reverting back to the stock unrooted rom.

Go to Sam firmware.com and download the stock from ..flash it via Odin.. search ..google is ur friend..Don't ask the repairing shop again for advice (phone is dead...duh)

Can you get to download or recovery mode is the first question .

If you cannot get to download mode a USB recovery jig may help .

If you have an official stock ROM with official firmware on it, the repair centre should change your mainboard and basically making your phone brand new.

which version were you on? Are you sure the rooting went okay?
The USB-Jig must work. especially on GB. it even works fot me on ICS.
When you can not get into download-mode (odin mode) ór recovery you can't flash anything..
Hope for you that your battery is broke. or maybe one of the processors... Still got warrenty?

Not true at all .

Hi you cant do anything unless you have download mode on you device,
if you have JTAG box you can repair your device using this.
Its normal device getting heat near charging/USB component. This is not HW problem.

He already said it won't boot normally, to recovery, or to download mode. JTag or warranty are his only options.

You have to know smthng:
- It is always possible to get to download mode, if not through the button combo (home+power+Volume_DOWN), then through the USB Jig
- If your phone is bricked, the download mode might not announce itself through the android robot: the exclamation mark will persist in some cases. One indication is that ODIN will be recognizing your phone on the COM port (USB that is).
Notify me if you needed further assistance

Which instructions did you follow?
If those are wrong hopefully somebody else will see this and avoid those instructions.

XDA GENIUSES PLEASE HELP! Hard Bricked i9100

Hey guys.
I made a stupid error last night when I tried going from ICS CM9 back to ICS STOCK LPQ.
I forgot to wipe data and just wiped cache and dalvik cache.
The connection broke whilst flashing through ODIN and now I have a blank black screen and the phone won't turn on...((( (It does technically as when I try pressing the on button later on the phone would get hot - meaning its on but BLACK SCREEN)
I have tried taking the battery out for hours and putting it back in...nothing is working.
I don't know what to do...I'm in uni where I have fast wifi. Please help. Any advice would be grateful
EDIT:
Ok.
So usb jig arrived this morning. Ripped it open. Popped my sgsII from charger (fully charged I think!) took battery out - 15 secs
placed battery back in.
Inserted USBJIG. . .
. . .
. . . . BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH
Nothing....Still the same. No screen activity...sad...
only way is either JTAG or Samsung service center right?
I used to have yellow exclamation mark + 4 counts....but they can't see anything so they won't know right?
or did the usbJig work but just the fact that I can't see anything on the screen??
...sad I hated seeing noobs flashing phones improperly and crying when it got softbricked....well even though mine is a straight hardbrick i still feel sad....noob
update.
I've taken it to SSCentre on tuesday. I called them yesterday and they said they couldn't fix it over there and had it shipped somewhere else...is that bad?
it could take upto 2 weeks!!!!!!
I rememeber the engineers working on my friends Galaxy S last year and they didn't have to send it to somewhere else. (he had the soft brick 3 yellow logo icons) and didn't have the version where the download/recovery mode didn't work) The engineer just flashed it with latest stock sgs firmware (ignoring that csc was orange lol)
Maybe my flash was so impeccable I fried the motherboard? I'm one kick ass bricker....

If you can get into download mode then there is still hope. If you can't then your only option is either warranty repair of Jtag service. If download mode then works then just reflash using Odin.
You flash i9000XXJVU to your i9100 phone? So you need JTAG or do service. Your bootloader is totally dead

Didn't even notice that XXJVU was an i9000 firmware.
To OP: Yup nothing to do, but send it in for repairs.
yeah sorry not JVU LPQ (I was getting mixed up with firmwares)
Yeah phone not going into download or recovery mode.
I think when I press the power button the phone does turn on but I get nothing but black screen....(the phone warms up)
So shall I order a JTAG to flash? or take it to repair centre?
Will they know I've been flashing this thing to death? Counter is on 4 at the moment..... so worried!

JTag is not Samsung warranty its a paid for service .
or take it to repair centre?

.
Warranty is void with custom rom root or rom counter above zero .
Will they know yes counter is on 4 .
Will they ignore it and put it through as warranty they may but dont count on it .
USB jig would be the starting point .
That fails you could go to warranty repair if thats rejected then pay for JTag repair .

if you have adb maybe you could try:
1. Connecting your device to PC while turned off,
2. CMD > adb devices
* If you see your device connected, proceed with:
adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader
* If you don't see any device connected, try googling for qhsusb_dload driver for your device, and after you install them (and maybe a couple of PC restarts) repeat step 2
3. if you manage to get to recovery, i hope you have your nandroid backup so you could restore them.
my HTC sensation 4G had this situation few days ago, couldn't go to recovery/bootloader, blanked out when turned on and had fever
i fixed it using those steps, i wish i could remember where i got the qhsusb driver thingy from.. i'll let you know when i remember.
edit: it might work on S2, or might not.. i don't know this will help or not, but you could read adb/fastboot/bootloader/android 101, maybe you could get something from there

The bootloader death thing is not 100% true. When I first got my phone, (when there wasn't any rom for it) I tried flashing a I9000 rom. I was so stupid and luckily it didn't break my phone. After the flashing it turned on and stayed on bootlogo.
It was a miracle for me!

My phone hanged in the morning. I removed the battery and then tried to restart it. The phone stuck in boot screen. It was not going ahead. I was able to go to download mode but not i recovery mode. So i tried flashing it with official rom via odin. It was successful but on reboot it was still stuck on boot loop. Then i re-partitioned it. For re-partitioning i by mistakenly used the pit file for i9100g. Now my phone is not even booting.
Plz help wat can be done.

If you used a .pit for the i9100G on your i9100, then I think you'll either need to JTag it (cheaper) or send it to Samsung to fix (MIGHT be covered by warranty, but doubtful... and if not, more expensive than JTag).

JTag is not something you can do yourself unless you buy expensive equipment. (Riff box)
You'll need to google a mobile phone repair shop near you that has the necessary equipment.

Did you try using a USB jig to reboot into download mode? I doubt that will work, but if you have easy access to it, its worth a try. For future, never ever play with .pit files and never repartition unless you're a dev and know what you're doing. Hope you revive your device soon

[Q] soft brick or hard brick ????

After Flashing Latest CM10.1 to my S3 and using it for a while, I wanted to go back to stock. I flashed stock 4.1.2, rooted it and installed CWM successfully. After a while I noticed that CWM can not mount internal SD card, or recover a nandroid backup from it. I thought it is a partition issue, so i have decided to flash GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit to my S3 with re-paration checked. ODIN started the process, Pass appeared with green background. Since then, the device wont start in any mode. I tried every key combination with no luck. Tried to connect the device to pc, same result; device is dead. Pulling battery also did not work.Anything I can do to turn on the device in to download mode at least? Please help me. I do not have warranty.
if the thing won't boot up at all the motherboard is dead and since u don't have warranty time to get generous with your pocket rhese things ain't cheap

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 won't turn on!

Hi there,
Firstly sorry if I have posted in the wrong place, i'm not too good with forums and or technology. About two weeks ago, my sister had passed me down her old Samsung Galaxy S2 which she had been using for more than a year. She's had no problems with it what so ever. Up until today, I was browsing the internet, when the internet 'app' crashed and gave me a pop up saying 'internet browser has stopped responding' or something to that affect. It then followed by a black screen where I was not able to do nothing apart from stare at the screen. I popped out the battery, waited a couple of minutes and put it back in. The screen came on with the Samsung logo, but nothing happened from there on, it was frozen. So I repeated the process one more, and now the phone does not turn on at all! I really hope someone can help me out here.
The phone has never been rooted/flashed or had anything done with it.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a couple of hours, still nothing.
I've also swapped batteries and nothing happened.
Tried booting in recovery/download mode and nothing happened either.
I've also tried connecting it to my PC where nothing happens.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, I've only had the phone for two weeks and it's already broken! My sister had it for a year and no problems! Bump.
Thanks in advance,
So can you boot into recovery or download mode? Without either of those two there's nothing you can do apart from take it to a service centre. If you have download mode then you can flash a stock ROM using Odin.
Else, do you have warranty still as it's a year old? If you do, take it to the service centre under warranty.

Are you sure it's out of warranty? Samsung offers a 2 year warranty in some countries (afaik everywhere in the EU)
My Wife says I'm a phone geek.....
I'd have to agree.....
Click the link in my signature and look at the section for 'no download mode'.. Try that section. Some users report being able to boot into download mode after trying those things.
Edit: And look on eBay for 'i9100 usb jig'. Its a way of attempting to force into download mode

Thanks for the quick reply, unfortunately none of those methods worked for me, i'll try the USB jig and report back. If that doesn't work i'm guessing the motherboard is the problem right? Is Samsung able to repair the phone for me even if its out of warranty but with a cost? If so, how much do you think it will cost?
Thanks
You tried all of them in 15 minutes? Give them another go, it can take a few goes sometimes if you don't get it quite right. Otherwise, yes try the jig, but don't pin your hopes on it. Yes, they can repair it. The other (cheaper) option is to buy a handset with broken screen off eBay or similar and switch your motherboard. I'm sorry, I don't know the costs :/

A little solution
Plug in ur usb to the PC as the device is off....it should remain off for this...
Plug in and see if its charging via pc.....As for it to charge..it has to go through the repair which happens internally without you need to do anything...
A triangle should appear before charging icon appears..As it appears,, just right after that flash ur rom via odin disconnect dont boot now wait n again do the usb charging trick.....
Then boot it should probably be working up again..Well it worths for a try.......
Do it n post it.
Tried rooting my s2 using odin. went into download mode then connected the phone. and clicked start. according to the instructions for rooting from youtube , it said the phone would restart after it said PASS on Odin.

Did you check the AUTO REBOOT option in Odin? Did you try to remove the battery for a couple of minutes and reboot?
Yellow triangle is normal
PLEASE READ THE FAQ said:
Q4: When I turn my phone on, I see a yellow triangle. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
It will appear if you have flashed a non-official kernel from download mode. If you flash kernels using CWM recovery, Mobile Odin etc. you won't get this yellow triangle.
The easiest ways to remove it are to use the app Triangle Away OR use a USB Jig.

Hi there:
I had bought the device in June 2011
I had the same problem about 7 months back and did as you suggested, was able to recover the firmware.
Now, I am facing the same problem today, my device started and was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S2 logo.
Did the same thing again, the animated android logo appeared, and after some time the device was off.
I have been trying to get the device to switch on , but to no avail, the device is not even powering ON.
Device info: Unrooted , OS: 4.1.2
Please advice. Kindly treat this as urgent.
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Siddharth

Phone not booting at all/charging/no signs of life = Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop for diagnosis. Nothing anyone here can suggest beyond that if the phone won't even bootloop or be in a state where it's 'user fixable'.

Sorry For the late reply.
I guess, you need to boot in recovery
with home + power+vol up
and clear data and reboot
if that doesnt help.
try booting in download mode again and flash the firmware.
but let it charge first.

Tried everything , the phone is not even powering ON.
I checked with service center , they are asking INR 8000 to replace the motherboard.
I'm instead thing of buying S4, should I ?
please advice guys.
My phone is dead too...
I left it on (functioning normally) and went for a bath, when I got out it was dead...
From functioning ok to nothing in a few minutes, I don't have any idea why. Is it really the motherboard?
Fact: Electronics breaks. All the time. All electronics.
MJDdeLacerda - Take it to a local mobile repair shop for diagnosis, unless you're experienced with this type of electronics, nothing you can do.
