Take out battery and while holding volume up connect to usb.
If phone doesnt turns on on its own use power button to do it (while holding volume up button).
I dont know if this works on p500.
If not even the lights switch on
Then its a full brick
Nothing but the service center will help now

I think, when you cant boot to emergency mode its fully bricked, and you will need buy new board for your phone... hope you get good price or good new phone..

"Volume up"+"Return"+"Power" this goes in emergency mode. if it doesn't boot in it, you really can't do anything with it anymore... unless you know how to change a mainboard by yourself.
Hey, I had the same problem, last chance is LG. But
.. WTF?!? They said, they did a software update! But how? No emergency mode, no recovery mode, nothing. They are lying to me. Software update... WTF?!?
I read it in many threads that you need to Disable LG Modem Driver in windows.. before flashing
anything via kdz. Try everything given in this link... hope it works. If the mobile can be unbrickd by software
update in LG service centre.. it wont cost you more but if board has to be replaced.. it will cost you
60% of the mobile price!!
Happened to a friend of mine before. It's pretty much unrecoverable unless you go to LG. Sorry mate.
Your phone is probably dead
I suggest you use this opportunity to buy a better non Qualcomm phone

Hi I bricked my sgs2.
It won't turn on or even come up with a screen when plugged into the mains.
So I looked on here and people was mentioning a jig.
Bought one and still doesn't bring up download mode.
Anyone know how I can bring my sgs2 back to life

JIG's aren't a fix for bricked phones mate, they just assist with download mode and counter reset.
There has been quite bit of mis-information about them.
I am not expert enough to help, sorry dude, hopefully someone can steer you in the right direction.

Im in the exact same situation. Feeling pretty dumb at the moment.....
Jig didnt worked for me either. Damn
The story is
SGS 1 usb brought the phone to download mode when three button trick failed
SGS 2 Someone found early that using the jig to boot phone zeroed the custom rom counter.
SGS2 presumption was that the jig would still help with download mode so many have told the many newbies who have flashed without following instructions to buy a jig
Last week a poster said it does not and can not recover download mode unless the three button download mode also works .
jje
Thanks man. So that means my phone is dead ?

I had sort of a same probb.. Sgs2 didnt do anything. Pulled out my battery, simcard and ext.sd putted the battery in en then pushed: volume up, menu button and the power button. That brought me in the download menu. You never know

Hello all,
yesterday something weiiiird happened to me.
i was changing the screen protector on my phone, once done i notice the phone was off (i changed the screen protector with phone on), so i thought i might have swiched it off without noticing it, but it doesn't turn on anymore.
tried to leave the battery out for a while but nothing
tried to put on charge but nothig
tried my wife's battery but nothing
no lights on the screen at all, completely dead.
just for info i was dualbooting cm9 and official 4.0.3 three operator ics with success, had no problem at all used it for a few days.i removed yellow triangle and reset counter with triangle away app about a week ago, not a sigle problem bu this weird this yesterday.
any suggestions ?? i have a jig but it doesn't do anything (maybe it because i'm on ics??, don't know)
please help guys..
It sounds like a hardware problem and I don't think that you are able to solve it yourself! The SGS2 is a tough phone and very hard to brick and when you haven't changed anything there is no other option than a hardware problem.
Have you tried to enter download mode? Volume up + home button while booting. When this doesn't work there is no way out and you have to send it to a repair service. But that shouldn't be a problem, because they won't be able to boot your phone, too.
Hope that helps!

Be aware if they manage to boot it up and see cm on there it probably will void your warranty and possibly be a costly repair if the fault isnt hardware just a thought. Hope it doesnt come to that for you though

Jig boots to download mode in ICS as well as GB.
JTag repair can be cheaper route .

Hello,
I have my SE since March and since May I have this problem. SE is still vibrating, I can do nothing with it. I tried root and reinstall system with flashtool but it didn't help. I've sent it to serivce too, but they said me that I need change motherboard. But I don't wanna do it, cause it is too expansive and it would be better buy new one.
Does anyone have some ideas or solutions how to repair it? I hope that is other way then changing motherboard.
Thank you all.
(And sorry for my English, I'm from CZ and still make some mistakes)
What do you mean?Of course it vibrates when needed.Can you explain your problem a bit?

I mean it vibrates all the time. In interval of 1-2 seconds. When it is locked or turned off, it doesn't vibrate, but when I unlock it, it vibrates all the time.
Havent you left your X10 in some kind of fluid? Or didnt it survive huge rain?
BTW you can PM me, we can talk in czech

guys for god sake help me!!!!!!!!!!!
If you do not have flashmode or fastboot mode you is not repair it. You need to flash stock rom before you flashing your.
BTW. after flashing TA is your BL locked go to the servise. Maybe they will fix it.
Srry for my english.
help me guys i need the phone so much
can i fix it without going to service center it is so far away
And Flashmode?
Get stock rom for xu and try to flash it via flashmode, maybe it will work.
Sorry as I am new to xda I cant post a new message for next 5 min. But remove the battery and charge it on a universal battery charger or a similar phone ant try to reboot. Sometimes the Kernel may fail to charge

Leave the phone without battery for a while and press and hold the power button without battery for 60 sec then leave the phone again for a min or two then insert the battery and try to get into flash mode. If it isnt a hard brick then it'll definitely boot up make sure to keep the flashing stuff ready

thanx alot i appreciate that so so much you little gohan lol thanx for answering me my questions
I have just posted a couple of hours ago asking why my new Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom would be freezing, and I think the problem is to do with my eMMC chip. I have one that suffers from the 'sudden death' problem.. So I've posted this in a new thread as it's kinda a different question..
Anyway, Samsung have released a fix, but I can't find any instructions ANYWHERE on how to apply it.
I've found this on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/EMMC_Bugs, but that simply links me to a github repo of the code, with no instructions on how to apply the fix.
Could someone direct me to some instructions, or talk me through how to apply the fix?
Thanks,
Luke
Firstly, Title is misleading. Second. Its not the sudden death chip tat gives u lag. I have the sds chip too and when I ran cm 10.2 I have NO LAG.

Well at the moment, I've only got the initial apps included with Cyanogenmod, and the Google Apps, which I installed through CWM..
I can't even make it into the market to download the eMMC Checker app to see if that is still the problem, as the phone freezes before I'm able to search..

I sure hope not.. Exactly this time last year my phone effectively died.. I woke up one morning and my phone was telling me that I had encryption problems (I had never done anything remotely like encryption on my phone previously), so I had to have my phone sent off, and when I got it back, they said they replaced the motherboard..

It's hard to say exactly when, but it was after having my phone sent off.. I had found that a way to fix it was to reduce the amount of free space on my internal sd card, so I got a dummy file generator app, that nearly filled the sd card, which seemed to stop the problem.. However I am not able to do that now, because the phone freezes before I'm able to search the play store..
I would ring optus (my phone carrier), however now that I've flashed a custom rom, my warranty is void, so they're not going to do anything to help me..

Ok cool, I will have a look at that..
I managed to get into the play store and download the eMMC Brickbug Check app, and it's telling me that it's still a problem, so Cyanogenmod 10.2 doesn't have the fix incorporated into it..
I would still like to find how to apply this kernel patch, as I reckon it will definitely help..
CM 10.2 does indeed have the fix incorporated, the checker only checks if you have the chip that's affected and nothing more. It will not tell you if you have a fix applied

I see.. Then that's a bit more concerning that my phone is still freezing. It doesn't do it as much now though, it seems to have 'settled', and now only freezes every now and then.. But if the fix has been applied, I don't see a reason why my phone would freeze at all :/
