That was the problem.
Your kernel has brick bug, it's being said 1 million times but you did not read it or ask questions before messing around with your device.
I'm afraid your device may be hard bricked.
I'm sorry.
Let's see what can be done.
If you can get to download mode with combined buttons or usb jig then visit this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841099

ok m8 thanks for the info, but because the phone is only 4mths old i have requested a service repair with samsung so im gonna send it off tomoz to get sorted.. is their a way samsung can find out if i been messing with it or will they just flash with stock firmware anyways once they can get it to boot? or will they just replace the board? Thanks. Mick.

If it's hard bricked there is nothing us users can do to get the phone back but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for Samsung to realize what you've done

Hopefully they should repair.. Thats the only option i have left.. Stupid me i only just bought it as well!
i'll keep u updated and let u know if it was repaired? i here a few peeps get similar probs when trying to update to custom firmware's and samsung do repair and send them back to their customers..:fingers-crossed:

I hope you will have your phone working again dude, and I want to ask a question to Jokesy, is there a brickbug or something bad about XWLP7 ? Because if I turn back to stock rooted SGS2 , i will use XWLP7.

And people say Samsung has a bad customer service, Samsung FTW
The easiest way to Root your phone is probably the Chainfire Root, which you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
It`s very important that you read the instructions there on how to Root your phone.
It´s a great method because it gives you Root and Clockworkmod in one package and you will keep your stock Kernel.
After that you can install any Rom or Kernel you want but it`s highly recomended to not install any Kernel with the Hard Brick Bug. Read this thread for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
If you really want to remove the triangle there is a mod from chainfire, called TriangleAway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
but I would recommend not to do it, since people also managed to screw that up (bricking their phone), I mean is it really so disturbing to see the Triangle for 2 seconds everytime you reboot?
Good Luck

Bricked after factory reset, I can't even see CWM. Help!

So the thing is I'm using ROOTBOX ICS rom, and because I'm willing to gift my phone to a cousin I did a Factory Reset, then my phone turn off and when it tries to wake up, after Samsung logo, it makes like a blink on the screen... every 3 seconds.
I can't enter CWM Recovery using VolUp+Menu+Power, however I can enter Download Mode using VolDown+Menu+Power.
So guys, give me a solution here please.
Thank you so much.

If you don't want to flash a stock ROM, root, and flash a custom ROM again, you can use one of odin flashable files for custom kernels, not all have one but you can check (Dorimanx for example)

If the usb jig is not working then your only option is jtag or else motherboard replacement. Your best bet is to come clean to Samsung and hope that they give you a replacement

S2 I9100 won't start after flashing CM9 Stable

Hello Friends,
I am in desperate need of your help.
I am a moderate user and I know how to stuffs about Rooting and flashing custom ROMs.
Today I tried to flash CM9 stable ROM for International Galaxy S2 I9100. I did it using temporary CWM.zip file and everything went just fine till the installation of ROM. But when I clicked Wipe Data, suddenly phone went off and now it doesn't start.
I tried everything, tried to enter into Download mode and Recovery mode but all was in vain.
Please help me what should I do now? And is my phone ever going to come back to life?

To add into this.
I was using,
PDA: I9100XWLPT
CSC: I9100NEELP4
Version: 4.0.4
Do you know what kernal you had at the time, for the phone to go off during a wipe sounds like the brick bug but I didn't think it was present in LPT. Can other members clarify please. Does your phone charge when plugged into charger?

I'm sorry but that's your fault.
It's being said 1 million times already, that wiping your data in CWM while running stock 4.0.4 ROM with a stock kernel will BRICK your phone.
Your inability to read might have left your phone bricked.
Read through the forum next time, ask questions if you don't understand anything and I can assure you will be luckier next time.

Yes there are many threads in this section and on xda portal warning you about the brick bug...
Almost all 4.0.4 have a brick bug... moreover it is caused when we do a data wipe. I believe you have bricked your device... sorry for that

that's why I blamed you for this. You did not read or ask before wiping but was only guessing.
This is a sticky thread under General section warning everyone about the buck bug. Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756242
I and many others have also warned people about this bug but the unfortunate thing is that most of ask these kind of questions after the problem has occurred.

As far as I know all 4.0.4 ROMS have MMC_CAP_ERASE enabled, so in case of having bad chip and using wipe under temporary CWM floating around you will brick your phone. Although seems the problem is only in touch version of CWM. More detailed information can be found in 1st guide in my signature where Phil was talking with Entropy512.

You might have to send your phone to device center for repairs but if you are out of warranty or wants to try to Fix things yourself, then the advise/instructions below is for you:
-boot your phone with usb jig, if you can get to download mode, then proceed to next step

Hi guys,
Thanks for all your replies.
I already figured it out that I have bricked my phone. But I was under impression that Data wipe with CM9 ROMs is not dangerous. At the time of failure I had already installed CM9.
Guess now I'll have to send the phone to Service center.
One thing I want to ask, "If the phone is hard bricked, is there any chance of them knowing that I had installed a custom ROM?"
If they can't then it might help me since my phone is still under 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Please reply and Thank you for your replies. The latest adventure of mine turned out to be painful one!!

I don't think so. since you can't boot into either recovery or download mode.
Even if you have an increased binary counter, it will be cleared once your device is forced with a usb jig to boot into download mode.

Then USB Jig is my last hope and if that doesn't work then I have to send the phone to the service center.
So if you can't enter into download or recovery mode there is no way to find out if i have used any custom ROM or rooted the phone?

do you still have warranty on your phone?
if it has, follow this guide so that you dont have to pay any fee
1. flash stock firmware and root it
2. after rebooted connect usb otg cable with usb mouse attach to it so you can navigate the screen on your phone.
3. install triangleaway and reset the binary counter on download mode.
4. after resetting the binary to no or 0, unroot your phone using supersu.apk and uninstall triangleaway
5. after unroot factory reset your phone.
6. you have to use again the usb otg to pass the welcome screen after factory reset
7. you are now ready go to the shop and claim warranty.

So nobody solve this problem yet?
Ok i had this problem days ago, unfortunately after putting the wrong file for rooting, the touchscreen doesnt work at startup screen.. This is harfware problwm u have to change the lcd and difitizer... Hard to believe but its true after wrong rooting seen blue flicking, i think it damages the chips oh well it made my pocket burn replacing one lol.
I finally get back my charming s3 with the warranty claim! Tq very much chris.
Ironically,i ask my friend about my phone problem,he say that its not about the hardware damage,but software,specifically,kernel.he said that i can just flash stock firmware through kies (not odin) to get thing back normal again.i did not do this method coz i already got my repaired s3.. so anyone encounter this problem maybe should try the method,perhaps?

yes try the kies method first before sending for repair.
but i dont think it will solve by kies update if you got the brick by flashing wrong cfautoroot.
maybe if you got the brick from flashing rom maybe it can be fix,

you dont have warranty on your phone? if you have, you dont have to pay for service repair for it in claiming warranty.

ICS 4.0.4?If so,then it's EMMC brick bug.

can it be fixed bro??? @GamingDj
I hope for your sake this is not the case.....but it sounds like another case of ics brickbug......
Can you tell us which kernel you flashed (provide a link if you can) and what (odin) method you used to root.....

i did this to my device almost 2 week ago and upgraded my HDD so unfortunately i don't have the back up and can't remember the kernel version or which file i used to root it
maybe luck is not on my side after all ... .
Ok....to recap......
Can you enter recovery mode?
Can you enter download mode?
Do you get the battery icon on the screen when you plug the charger in?
Does the area below the main camera get warm when you attempt to charge?
If your answers are 'no', 'no', 'no' and yes.....then more than likely it IS brickbug.......
Which brings me to my next question.......
Ignoring the fact that you rooted (this is now undetectable) are you under warranty?
Samsung are aware that *some* of their phones will fail if a wipe or kies update is performed on them. So as long as you tell them........
'I tried to update with kies and then the phone switched off and wouldn't switch on again'
then they *should* repair the phone under warranty.
Just DON'T mention XDA or rooting or odin or brickbug......or anything else like that and you should be ok.....

Had the same problem with my old s2.The phone doesn't boot into recovery or download mode if the battery is dead,Make sure the battery is alright and try again.I had to replace my battery.
If all is well,then its EMMC brick.
Service centre.

From what I can tell 4.0.4 was the problem. Soon as you factory reset the phone dies. Sam knows about this that makes it even worst. Sorry to hear about your dead s2

Stay well away from 4.0.4 firmware and factory reset. Even with a custom kernel I think is a bad move to stay on it.

at least its good to know that its not my fault . . .. tnx bro. . .:good:
Some will say its your fault for not reading. Not me this is a dirty samsung problem and they should of recalled ALL the faulty handset's as I think they are faulty and pull the 4.0.4 from every were. Can I ask were did you get that firmware from?

[Solved] Stuck on Siyah logo then goes all black!

hey guys, i just installed Siyah kernel on my S2. I'm on Resurrection Remix 4.0.6 Rom. installed it from recovery, rebooted the device then Siyah logo appears then goes all black can't access recovery nor download mode!!!
pls help I'm losing my mind
Mate.
RR is a 4.2.2 ROM which is based on AOSP or AOKP (not sure which)
The latest siyah for s2 only support samsung based ROMs which are at the moment 4.1.2
This one is on you for not reading sorry
This kernel is only for Samsung JB ROM

^^ Taken from the original site @gokhanmoral.com
I'm not very good when it comes to this, but if you're absolutely sure you can't access CWM Recovery or download mode - then i suspect hardbrick.
Which is quite odd, since i had flashed (about a year ago) a jelly bean ROM when i was on ICS - and all i got was bootloop.
meaning it's dead????!!!!!!!

I'm not very tech savy (as mentioned) so don't take my word for it, wait for any other more-knowing users like MistahBungle, Hopper8, theunderling or gastonw. I'm sure one of them will appear soon enough..

No life out of the phone there isn't much you can do. Service centre = replace motherboard, or do it yourself with a 2nd hand one. Either way, you won't be recovering the data if you didn't back it up.

To make things clear, you could only reboot it once? Does it turn on now?? Or is it completely lifeless?
Have you tried connecting a USB Jig mate?
